In October 2024, the board of directors authorized a share repurchase program with no stated expiration date that allowed the repurchase of up to 5.0 million shares of Class B common stock. This program was fulfilled in December 2025. In July 2025, the board of directors authorized an additional share repurchase program with no stated expiration date that allows the repurchase of up to 5.0 million shares of Class B common stock. No other program existed as of June 30, 2026. The program authorizes executive management to determine the timing and the amount of shares for each purchase. The repurchased stock is to be held in treasury for employee share-based compensation plans, potential acquisitions and other corporate activities, unless the board of directors subsequently determines to retire the repurchased stock and restore the shares to authorized but unissued status (rather than holding the shares in treasury). During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Federated Hermes repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares of its Class B common stock for $124.9 million, nearly all of which were repurchased in the open market. At June 30, 2026, approximately 2.3 million shares remained available to be repurchased under this share repurchase program.
The following table presents the activity for the Class B common stock and Treasury stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Class A shares have been excluded as there was no activity during these same periods.
