News Release

U.S. Bancorp announces $5 billion common stock repurchase program, increase to quarterly common stock dividend

MINNEAPOLIS (September 12, 2024) — The Board of Directors of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB) has authorized a share repurchase program for up to $5 billion of the company’s outstanding common stock beginning September 13, 2024. The company intends to begin repurchasing shares by early 2025.

It also declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.50 per common share, payable October 15, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2024. This is an increase of 2 percent over the prior quarter. At this quarterly dividend rate, the annual dividend is equivalent to $2.00 per common share.

U.S. Bancorp will utilize the share repurchase program at its discretion as it continues to monitor the economic environment while growing capital and remaining in compliance with regulatory requirements. The stock may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The company will adjust its capital distributions as conditions warrant. Any additional capital distributions, including dividends, are subject to the approval of the company’s Board of Directors.

The repurchase program does not obligate the company to purchase a particular amount of outstanding common stock, and there is no guarantee as to how many shares will be repurchased by the company.

This share repurchase program replaces the program approved by the Board on December 21, 2020.

The Board of Directors also declared the following:

 

   

A regular quarterly dividend of $1,682.317 per share (equivalent to $16.823170 per depositary share) on the Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of U.S. Bancorp, payable October 15, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2024.

 
   

A regular quarterly dividend of $393.746 per share (equivalent to $0.393746 per depositary share) on the Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of U.S. Bancorp, payable October 15, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2024.

 
   

A regular semi-annual dividend of $662.500 per share (equivalent to $26.500000 per depositary share) on the Series J Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock of U.S. Bancorp, payable October 15, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2024.
