Key Details

• Filing date: February 23, 2026 (Form 8‑K).
• Shareholder vote: Annual Meeting on May 28, 2026; name changes effective soon after approval.
• Planned NYSE transfer: on or around April 7, 2026.

Why It Matters

• A corporate and bank name change plus a stock exchange transfer are material corporate events that can affect investor visibility and trading (e.g., listing venue).
• The changes are not final — they require shareholder approval at the May 28, 2026 meeting — so investors should monitor proxy materials and the meeting outcome.
• The posted investor presentation provides the company’s rationale and additional context; investors can review it for more detail before the shareholder vote.
