Schwab Authorizes $15 Billion Stock Repurchase, Declares 10% Increase in Quarterly Common Stock Dividend, and Declares Preferred Stock Dividends

The Board of Directors of The Charles Schwab Corporation at its meeting today authorized additional repurchases of the company’s common stock and declared a 2 cent, or 10% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.22 per common share. The dividend is payable August 26, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 12, 2022.

The Share Repurchase Program previously had $1.8 billion of share repurchases remaining under a prior authorization. The Board’s decision today has replaced this authorization with approval to repurchase a total of $15 billion of its common stock. Shares may be repurchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions based on prevailing market conditions. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022 the company had 1.904 billion weighted-average common and common equivalent shares outstanding.

Chairman Charles Schwab commented, “The Board’s decisions regarding the Share Repurchase Program and common stock dividend increase reflect Schwab’s recent financial performance as well as our confidence in the long-term prospects of the company. We see these actions as part of an overall evolution of the Schwab story to include both strong business growth and significant capital return.”

In addition, the Board of Directors also declared dividends on the following series of outstanding preferred stock, payable September 1, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 17, 2022:
