The Business First Bancshares, Inc. (BFST) SEC filings page on Stock Titan provides access to the company’s regulatory disclosures as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Business First is a Louisiana-incorporated bank holding company for b1BANK, and its common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol BFST, as noted in multiple Form 8-K filings.
Through its periodic and current reports, Business First details its financial condition and results of operations. Quarterly earnings information is often furnished via Form 8-K under Item 2.02, accompanied by press releases and supplemental slide presentations. These materials describe net interest income, loan and deposit trends, credit quality metrics, securities portfolio changes, capital ratios and non-GAAP measures such as core net income and tangible book value per share.
Filings also document capital management and corporate actions. An 8-K dated October 28, 2025, outlines a stock repurchase program authorizing the company to repurchase shares of its common stock up to a specified aggregate purchase price over a defined period, with purchases permitted in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. Other 8-Ks report the declaration of common and preferred dividends, including record and payment dates.
Investors can review merger and acquisition disclosures through Forms 8-K that describe the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Progressive Bancorp, Inc. and Progressive Bank, including the exchange ratio, conditions to closing, termination rights and related voting and director support agreements. Subsequent filings and press releases discuss the completion of the transaction and its impact on assets, loans, deposits and geographic presence.
Business First’s filings also cover executive and change-in-control arrangements. A November 4, 2025, Form 8-K summarizes an Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement with the company’s chief executive officer, including term, compensation, severance protections and post-termination covenants. The same filing describes change in control agreements with other senior officers, outlining payment formulas and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.
