FIRSTSUN CAPITAL BANCORP 8-K

What Happened
FirstSun Capital Bancorp and First Foundation Inc. jointly announced on March 12, 2026 that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve approved their proposed merger. This approval follows prior approvals from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and from the stockholders of both companies. All required bank regulatory approvals have now been received, and the companies expect to close the transaction on April 1, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

Key Details

• Federal Reserve approval received: March 12, 2026.
• Prior approvals: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and stockholders of both companies already approved the transaction.
• Expected closing date: April 1, 2026, subject to satisfaction or waiver of remaining customary closing conditions.
• Securities process: FirstSun filed a Form S-4 to register shares to be issued in the merger (filed Dec 11, 2025; amended Jan 14, 2026); the registration was declared effective by the SEC on Jan 15, 2026 and joint proxy/prospectus materials were mailed to stockholders in January–February 2026.

Why It Matters
This regulatory milestone clears a major hurdle for the planned merger, bringing the transaction close to completion. For investors, the approval means the combined company could become effective as soon as April 1, 2026, and FirstSun will issue shares to First Foundation stockholders per the S‑4/proxy materials. The closing is still subject to remaining customary conditions and potential delays noted in the companies’ filings, so investors should review the joint proxy/prospectus and related SEC filings for details and risk factors.
