The declaration and payment of dividends to our stockholders, as well as the amount thereof, are subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital levels, cash requirements, future prospects, regulatory requirements and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.

As a BHC, our ability to pay dividends is largely dependent upon the receipt of dividends or other payments from our subsidiaries. The Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions that limit its ability to transfer funds to our BHC. As of December 31, 2025, funds available for dividend payments from the Bank were $1.4 billion. There can be no assurance that we will declare and pay any dividends to stockholders.

On October 20, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $16 billion of shares of the Company’s common stock, effective October 21, 2025. This new authorization replaces the Company’s prior authorization to repurchase its common stock approved by our Board of Directors in April 2022. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we repurchased a total of $2.5 billion of our common stock, consisting of $614 million under the prior authorization and $1.9 billion under the new authorization. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased $3.8 billion of shares of our common stock as a part of the publicly announced plans.

The timing and exact amount of any future common stock repurchases will depend on various factors, including market conditions, opportunities for growth, our capital position and the amount of retained earnings, as well as regulatory considerations. The Board authorized stock repurchase program does not include specific price targets or number of shares, may be executed through open market purchases, tender offers, or privately negotiated transactions, including utilizing Rule 10b5-1 plans, does not have a set expiration date and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time.
