What Happened ARCH Capital Group Ltd. announced on February 26, 2026 that its Board declared cash dividends on its outstanding preferred depositary shares for Series F and Series G. The dividends cover the period December 31, 2025 through March 30, 2026 and are payable March 31, 2026 to holders of record as of March 15, 2026, subject to available funds under Bermuda law and any later determination by the Board.

Key Details

• Series F: 13,200,000 depositary shares (each = 1/1,000th of a Series F preference share with $25,000 liquidation preference per full share, i.e., $25.00 per depositary share). Dividend total: $4,496,250; rate per depositary share: $0.340625.
• Series G: 20,000,000 depositary shares (each = 1/1,000th of a Series G preference share with $25,000 liquidation preference per full share, i.e., $25.00 per depositary share). Dividend total: $5,687,500; rate per depositary share: $0.284375.
• Both Series are non‑cumulative preferred shares; dividends are payable only if declared and do not accrue if not paid.
• Declared on Feb 26, 2026; record date Mar 15, 2026; payable date Mar 31, 2026; payable from lawfully available funds under Bermuda law.

Why It Matters Preferred shareholders of ARCH’s Series F and G depositary shares will receive the declared cash payments on March 31 if they hold the shares on the March 15 record date. For investors, the announcement confirms near‑term cash returns on these preferred positions and clarifies per‑share dividend amounts and timing. Because these dividends are non‑cumulative, future dividend policy and the company’s available funds determine whether missed dividends could be paid later.
