What the filing says

Origin Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: OBK) announced in July 2026 that its board of directors approved a $100 million increase in repurchase authority under its current stock repurchase program, which expires in July 2028. As of the date of the release, $121.6 million remains available for share repurchases under the stock repurchase program.

During the second quarter 2026, Origin repurchased 217,034 shares of common stock at an average price of $46.60 per share, including commissions and applicable excise taxes. Since the beginning of 2025, the company has repurchased a total of 833,539 shares at an average price of $39.29 per share for $32.7 million.

The amendment reflects Origin's capital management strategy amid improving financial performance. The company reported net income of $33.8 million for Q2 2026 and announced an increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.15 to $0.25 per share in April 2026, a 67% increase. The expanded repurchase authority demonstrates confidence in the company's balance sheet strength and earnings durability as part of its "Optimize Origin" initiative.
