stock repurchase planfinancial
A stock repurchase plan is a company’s program to buy back its own shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. Like a store buying back its own gift cards to raise the value of remaining cards, buybacks can increase each remaining share’s claim on profits and often signal management believes the stock is undervalued or is an efficient way to return cash, which can affect share price and investor returns.
accelerated share repurchase programsfinancial
An accelerated share repurchase program is a way for a company to buy back its own shares quickly, often within a short period. It typically involves a financial partner temporarily purchasing a large number of shares on behalf of the company, which are then gradually returned to the company’s treasury. This process allows the company to boost its stock price and earnings per share, making it important for investors tracking company performance.
rule 10b-18regulatory
Rule 10b-18 is a regulation that sets strict rules for how a company's executives and employees can buy back their own company's stock from the market. It helps ensure that these buybacks happen in a fair and transparent way, reducing the chance of market manipulation. This is important for investors because it offers protection against unfair practices and promotes confidence in the integrity of the stock market.
rule 10b5-1regulatory
Rule 10b5-1 is a regulation that allows company insiders to buy or sell their shares at predetermined times, even if they have access to non-public information. It acts like setting a schedule in advance for transactions, helping prevent accusations of unfair trading. This rule provides a way for insiders to plan trades transparently, giving investors confidence that these transactions are not based on hidden information.
trading blackout periodsfinancial
Times when company insiders and certain employees are legally or policy-bound to stop buying or selling the company’s stock, usually around sensitive windows such as before earnings, major announcements, or audits. These pauses act like a temporary “hands-off” rule to prevent trades based on information not yet available to the public, reducing the risk of unfair advantage and regulatory violations; investors watch them because they can limit share liquidity and signal forthcoming news.
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. (“CoastalSouth” or the “Company”) (NYSE: COSO), the holding company for Coastal States Bank (the “Bank” or "CSB"), today reported that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan (the “2026 Repurchase Plan”), pursuant to which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $15 million of its shares of common stock. The 2026 Repurchase Plan will become effective on May 1, 2026, and will expire on April 30, 2027, unless extended by the Board.
Repurchases under the 2026 Repurchase Plan may be made from time to time in the open market, by accelerated share repurchase programs, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), in each case subject to applicable regulatory requirements and other factors that may be considered by the Company in its sole discretion. Repurchases may also be made pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so because of self-imposed trading blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. The 2026 Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be extended, modified, amended, suspended, or discontinued by the Board at any time.
