On December 8, 2025, United Community Banks, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has approved a common stock repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in any other manner that complies with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). The Company may make repurchases under the Stock Repurchase Program from time to time beginning after the expiration of its current common stock repurchase program on December 31, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2026. The Company has repurchased $44 million of shares in 2025 under its current common stock repurchase program.
The Stock Repurchase Program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time in the Company’s discretion without prior notice, and does not commit the Company to repurchase shares of its common stock. The actual number and value of the shares to be purchased will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors including the performance of the price of the Company’s common stock, other market conditions, the availability of alternative investment opportunities and other factors the Company deems appropriate.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
