Associated Banc-Corp SEC filings document the disclosures of a bank holding company with common stock listed on the NYSE and a capital structure that includes preferred stock series and subordinated debt. Its recent 8-K filings report earnings releases, investor presentations, Regulation FD information, material events, capital-structure matters and updates tied to operating and financial results.
Associated’s proxy materials cover shareholder voting matters, board governance, executive compensation and annual meeting disclosures. The filing record also includes material-agreement, risk-factor and governance disclosures relevant to a regulated banking organization that provides lending, deposit, wealth, specialty finance and community banking services through its banking subsidiary.
Associated Banc-Corp announced it has received all required regulatory approvals to complete its previously announced acquisition of American National Corporation and its banking subsidiary, American National Bank. Approvals came from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve.
The merger is expected to close on April 1, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, with system and branch conversion planned for the third quarter of 2026. Associated, which has total assets of $45 billion, gains entry into the Omaha market and strengthens its presence in the Twin Cities.
American National has total assets of over $5 billion and operates 33 full-service offices across Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. The companies highlight a complementary partnership and ongoing integration planning, while noting typical transaction risks, including integration challenges and dilution from Associated’s issuance of additional shares in connection with the merger.
