Private Bancorp of America Announces Form 10 Effective; Nasdaq Ticker PBAM

What Happened
Private Bancorp of America, Inc. announced on July 29, 2026 that its Registration Statement on Form 10 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company said it has obtained approval to begin trading its common stock, no par value per share, on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "PBAM." The announcement was made via a press release attached to the 8-K (Exhibit 99.1). The filing is signed by Richard L. Sowers, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Key Details

• Form 10 declared effective by the SEC on July 29, 2026.
• Nasdaq listing approved for the company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under ticker "PBAM".
• Press release announcing the effectiveness and listing is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K.
• 8-K executed by CEO Richard L. Sowers (file signed July 29, 2026).

Why It Matters
A Form 10 effectiveness and Nasdaq listing mean the company becomes an SEC-reporting public company, which typically increases transparency and provides a regulated venue for shares to trade. For investors, this can improve liquidity and visibility compared with private trading, but this 8-K does not include earnings, revenue, or other financial results—those will appear in future periodic reports (10-Q, 10-K) or other filings. Retail investors should watch for upcoming SEC filings and company disclosures for financials, corporate plans, or any capital-raising activities tied to the listing.
