The Board declared a total of $20 million and $25 million in cash dividends on preferred stock in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
In the event Series C, Series E, or Series F preferred shares are redeemed in full at their respective liquidation amounts, $10 million, $10 million, or $11 million in excess of the redemption amount over the carrying amount will be recognized, respectively. These excess amounts represent issuance costs that were recorded as reductions to preferred stock, including related surplus, and will be recorded as reductions to net income available to common shareholders.
COMMON STOCK
As a Category IV bank, Regions was not required to participate in the 2025 stress test. Nonetheless, like other Category IV banking organizations, the Company did receive results from the Federal Reserve during the second quarter of 2025. From the fourth quarter of 2025 through the third quarter of 2026, the Company's SCB will remain floored at 2.5 percent In February 2026, the Federal Reserve voted to maintain SCB requirements at current levels through the third quarter of 2027 to allow time for public feedback on proposed changes to supervisory stress testing models. As such, Regions' SCB will remain floored at 2.5 percent through the third quarter of 2027.
On December 10, 2025, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of the Company's common stock for the period beginning January 1, 2026 and extending through December 31, 2027. As of March 31, 2026, Regions had repurchased approximately 14 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $401 million under this plan. All of these shares were immediately retired upon repurchase and therefore were not included in treasury stock.
Regions declared $0.265 per common share in cash dividends for the first quarter of 2026 and $0.25 per common share for the first quarter of 2025.
