Item 8.01

On June 27, 2019, Regions Financial Corporation (\”Regions\” or the \”Company\”) issued a press release announcing the authorization by Regions\’ Board of Directors of a common stock repurchase program that permits repurchases through the end of the second quarter of 2020 in an aggregate amount of up to $1.37 billion. The timing and exact amount of common stock repurchases is subject to the terms of Regions\’ capital plan, which includes a strategic goal to prudently manage Common Equity Tier 1 capital at 9.5%, and will be determined by a number of other factors, including actual loan growth, Regions\’ capital position and market conditions. Additionally, Regions’ Board of Directors will consider an increase in the quarterly common stock dividend, effective for the third quarter of 2019, at its regularly scheduled meeting in July 2019. The increased dividend, if approved by Regions’ Board of Directors, is expected to result in a dividend payout ratio within Regions’ stated target range of 35-45%.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
