Regions Increases Quarterly Cash Dividend on Common Shares; Announces

Quarterly Cash Dividend on Preferred Shares

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – (BUSINESS WIRE) – April 24, 2013 – The Regions Financial Corporation (NYSE:RF) Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of 3 cents per common share, payable July 1, 2013, to stockholders of record as of June 14, 2013. This represents an increase from the previous quarterly dividend of 1 cent per common share. Plans to increase the company’s dividend on common shares were previously announced March 14, 2013, following the Federal Reserve’s indication to Regions that it did not object to the company’s capital plan and proposed capital actions as part of the 2013 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) process.

In addition, the Board of Directors authorized payment of a quarterly cash dividend related to the outstanding shares of its 6.375% Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). Each outstanding share of the Series A Preferred Stock is represented by depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Series A Preferred Stock. The dividend of $15.9375 per share (equivalent to approximately $0.398438 per depositary share) will be paid on June 15, 2013, to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 1, 2013.
