Expects to repurchase $3.125 billion of shares of common stock through the end of the second quarter of 2016; Expects to increase quarterly dividend to $0.40 per share

McLean, Va. (March 11, 2015) – Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) today announced that the Federal Reserve has completed its 2015 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) and did not object to Capital One’s proposed capital plan submitted on January 5, 2015. Capital One’s submission included a planned increase in the quarterly dividend on its common stock from the current level of $0.30 per share to $0.40 per share. Consistent with the capital plan, Capital One expects to declare a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share for the first quarter of 2015, subject to final approval of the Board of Directors at its scheduled meeting in April. In addition, the company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $3.125 billion of shares of the company’s common stock beginning in the second quarter of 2015 through the end of the second quarter of 2016.

The timing and exact amount of any Capital One common stock repurchases will depend on various factors, including market conditions, opportunities for growth, and the company’s capital position and amount of retained earnings. Capital One's share repurchase program does not include specific price targets, may be executed through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including utilizing Rule 10b5-1 programs, and may be suspended at any time.
