Item 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On May 24, 2024, BayCom Corp (“BayCom”), the holding company for United Business Bank, issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference announcing the declaration of a cash dividend on BayCom’s common stock and the adoption of a new stock repurchase program.
BayCom’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on July 11, 2024 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 13, 2024. In addition, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program for up to 560,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately 5% of currently outstanding shares, to be repurchased from time to time over a one-year period, depending upon market conditions and other factors. Under this new stock repurchase program, BayCom may repurchase shares through open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise, in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as applicable. The new stock repurchase program does not obligate BayCom to purchase any particular number of shares and may be expanded, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. The new stock repurchase program will commence upon completion of BayCom’s existing stock repurchase program, which will expire on April 21, 2025, or earlier if all the shares authorized thereunder have been repurchased. As of the date hereof, 12,627 shares remain available for future repurchases under BayCom’s existing stock repurchase program.
The Board also authorized BayCom to enter into written trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Adopting a trading plan that satisfies the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 allows a company to repurchase its shares at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so due to self-imposed trading blackout periods or pursuant to insider trading laws. Under any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, BayCom’s third-party broker, subject to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding certain price, market, volume and timing constraints, would purchase BayCom common stock in accordance with the terms of the plan.
BayCom cannot predict when or if it will repurchase any shares of common stock, as such stock repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to,the terms of any Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. Information regarding share repurchases will be available in BayCom’s periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.
