M&T is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a $1.00 par value per share.

Notwithstanding M&T’s option to redeem the shares, if an event occurs such that the shares no longer qualify as Tier 1 capital, M&T may redeem all of the shares within 90 days following that occurrence. Issued and outstanding preferred stock of M&T as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is presented below.
