SEC Filing Summary: Regions Financial Corp (8-K)
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K was filed on September 25, 2006, reporting events occurring on September 19 and September 21, 2006. The filing concerns Regions Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, in the context of its pending merger with AmSouth Bancorporation.
Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on corporate governance changes.
Material Changes
The primary material change involves the departure of three directors effective on the closing date of the merger with AmSouth Bancorporation:
- Margaret H. Greene: Retired as a director (announced September 19, 2006).
- Michael S. Starnes: Retired as a director (announced September 21, 2006).
- Richard D. Horsley: Previously announced retirement as a director.
