Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact number of shares repurchased, if any, in subsequent filings (e.g., 10-Q or 10-K).
- Monitor the Company's capital adequacy ratios to ensure repurchases do not impact regulatory capital requirements.
- Confirm the status of the Federal Reserve non-objection if the program extends beyond December 31, 2026.
- Review the Company's cash position in the most recent quarterly report to assess the impact of the $43.9 million potential outflow.
