Commerce Bancshares, Inc. authorized repurchases of up to 7,500,000 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program. This increases the capacity to return capital to shareholders through open-market or other buyback activity.
The company’s Board appointed Steven A. Brandjord as Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, effective May 15, 2026. Shareholders elected four directors to serve until the 2029 annual meeting, ratified KPMG LLP as independent auditor for 2026, and approved the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, with each proposal receiving sufficient support to pass.
Commerce Bancshares explains that it owns 411,723 shares of Visa Class B-2 common stock, which are carried at zero value on its balance sheet as of March 31, 2026. Visa has launched an exchange offer to swap these Class B-2 shares for a mix of Class B-3 and Class C common stock.
The company has tendered all of its Visa Class B-2 shares and, if the tender is accepted and the exchange occurs in the second quarter of 2026, it expects to record a significant gain based on the conversion privilege of the Class C stock and the Visa Class A closing price. The company also states that, if this gain is realized, it may consider selling part of its available for sale debt securities portfolio and reinvesting, which could result in a significant loss in the same quarter depending on market conditions and the gain amount.
