Green Dot Corporation (NYSE:GDOT) ("Green Dot") and CommerceOne Financial Corporation ("CommerceOne") today announced that each company’s respective shareholders have voted to approve the previously announced strategic transaction involving Green Dot, CommerceOne and Smith Ventures, LLC at each company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders (each, a "Special Meeting").

Special Meeting Stockholder Vote Results

Green Dot: More than 99% of the Green Dot shares voted at the Green Dot Special Meeting were voted in favor of the transaction, representing approximately 72% of the total number of outstanding shares of Green Dot common stock as of May 15, 2026, the record date for the Green Dot Special Meeting.
CommerceOne: 100% of the CommerceOne shares voted at the CommerceOne Special Meeting were voted in favor of the transaction, representing approximately 69% of the total number of outstanding shares of CommerceOne common stock as of May 15, 2026, the record date for the CommerceOne Special Meeting.

"We appreciate the strong vote of confidence from our shareholders," said William I. Jacobs, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Green Dot Corporation. "This milestone brings us closer to completing a transaction designed to unlock value for shareholders, enhance strategic focus, and position both the bank and fintech businesses for long-term success."

"We are pleased to receive strong support from our shareholders, marking an important step in advancing this transformative transaction," said Kenneth Till, Chief Executive Officer of CommerceOne. "The combination of Green Dot Bank with CommerceOne will create a well-capitalized, growth-oriented banking platform positioned to serve a diverse set of customers and partners, while supporting the continued expansion of embedded finance capabilities."

"We appreciate the strong support of Green Dot and CommerceOne shareholders for a transaction structure designed to allow the fintech and banking businesses each to operate with greater focus," said Blake Davidson, Managing Partner of Smith Ventures. "Smith Ventures looks forward to completing the remaining steps and to partnering with CommerceOne as the fintech’s issuing bank once the transactions close."

Shareholder approval marks an important step toward completion of the transactions, pursuant to which CommerceOne will acquire Green Dot Bank and form a new publicly traded bank holding company that owns CommerceOne Bank and Green Dot Bank, and Smith Ventures will acquire and privatize Green Dot’s non-bank fintech operations, to be run as an independent fintech. Additionally, Green Dot Bank will serve as the exclusive issuing bank to the independent fintech business owned by Smith Ventures under a long-term agreement.

The transactions are expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026, subject to approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Alabama State Banking Department and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
