Continental Bank Corp. said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has sold its 14.2 million shares in the Chicago-based bank, bringing the bank back to full public ownership. The sale brings to an end the agreement surrounding the government’s $1-billion rescue in 1984. The FDIC once held as much as 80% of Continental’s stock. Proceeds from Thursday’s sale--about $181 million--went to the FDIC.
