The Board of Directors of Mercantil Bank Holding Corporation (the “Company”) approved, as of October 11, 2018, a one-for-three share combination equivalent to a reverse stock split (the “Split”) of each of the Company’s Class A common stock and the Company’s Class B common stock. The Split became effective today, October 23, 2018, at 5:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time.

As a result of the Split, every three shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and the Company’s Class B common stock issued and outstanding was automatically combined and reclassified into one share of Company Class A common stock and one share of Company Class B common stock, respectively.

The Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock will begin to trade tomorrow on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, on a split-adjusted basis. The post-Split Class A common stock will have the symbol “AMTB” and CUSIP number 58734F 305. The post-Split Class B common stock will have the symbol “AMTBB” and CUSIP number 58734F 404.

Fractional shares were issued in connection with the Split. No cash in lieu of fractional shares was paid by the Company in connection with the Split.

Earlier today, the Company issued a press release announcing the effectiveness of the Split. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
