The board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share on Class A common stock, payable on February 27, 2026 to shareholders of record as of February 13, 2026. The board also authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $40 million of Class A common stock, effective through December 31, 2026. Repurchases may occur through open market transactions, block purchases, privately negotiated deals or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Amerant Bancorp Inc. reported an insider share transaction by officer Adrian Rodriguez. On January 12, 2026, Rodriguez surrendered 99 shares of Class A common stock at $19.88 per share to satisfy tax withholding obligations that arose when his restricted stock vested. This was recorded under transaction code F, which indicates shares withheld for taxes rather than an open-market sale.
After this withholding event, Rodriguez directly owns 4,390 shares of Amerant Bancorp Class A common stock. The filing reflects an administrative equity compensation and tax settlement rather than a discretionary trade.
