What the filing says

RBB Bancorp's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase plan on June 15, 2026, providing for the repurchase of up to 1 million shares of outstanding common stock through June 30, 2028. The Repurchase Plan represents approximately $25 million based on the Company's current stock price at the time of authorization and represents approximately 6% of the Company's current outstanding shares.

The Repurchase Plan permits shares to be purchased in open market or private transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan adopted in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The plan is discretionary and may be suspended, terminated, or modified at any time for any reason, including market conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors deemed appropriate. The plan does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares.

This authorization follows a prior May 29, 2025 repurchase plan for up to $18 million through June 30, 2026, of which the remaining $4.1 million (as of March 31, 2026) was exhausted in the second quarter of 2026.

What this means

RBB Bancorp, a $4.2 billion-asset community bank headquartered in Los Angeles, has refreshed its repurchase authorization following exhaustion of a prior $18 million plan. The new $25 million authorization represents modest capital deployment relative to the company's size and capitalization, consistent with management's stated objective of returning capital while maintaining flexibility for lending and other strategic opportunities. The buyback is part of a broader capital management strategy that simultaneously includes a $40 million partial redemption of subordinated debt, reflecting management's view that equity repurchase is currently attractive relative to alternative uses of capital.
