    Wachovia Branch [276]

    North Carolina-based Wachovia restated on Tuesday its first-quarter loss to more than double what the bank previously reported.

    The bank is now reporting a loss of $708 million, or 36 cents a share, compared to its previous report of a loss of $393 million.

    Wachovia (WB) said it had to do additional reviews of its life insurance portfolio, specifically three privately-held contracts, and had to increase the company’s loss in that business.

    In April, Wachovia reported the loss and had to raise an additional $7 billion in additional capital. Shares of the bank were down 1% in early morning trading.
