accelerated share repurchasefinancial
An accelerated share repurchase is a deal where a company hires a bank to buy back a large block of its own stock immediately on the open market, with the bank later settling the exact number of shares over time. For investors it matters because the immediate reduction in shares outstanding can raise per‑share earnings and often supports the stock price, but it also uses company cash or borrowing and can change liquidity and future growth funding.
rule 10b5-1regulatory
Rule 10b5-1 is a regulation that allows company insiders to buy or sell their shares at predetermined times, even if they have access to non-public information. It acts like setting a schedule in advance for transactions, helping prevent accusations of unfair trading. This rule provides a way for insiders to plan trades transparently, giving investors confidence that these transactions are not based on hidden information.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Regions Financial Corp. (NYSE:RF) Board of Directors on Tuesday authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of the company’s common stock for the period beginning Jan. 1, 2026, and extending through Dec. 31, 2027. This authorization will supersede the current share repurchase program, which is set to expire on Dec. 31, 2025.
The timing and exact amount of common stock repurchased will depend on various factors, including market conditions, internal capital generation and capital consumption through loan growth or other uses. The repurchase program does not include specific price targets; the repurchase program may be executed through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase transactions or privately negotiated transactions, including utilizing Rule 10b5-1 programs, and the repurchase program may be suspended at any time.
