On June 28, 2017, U.S. Bancorp announced that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System did not object to the capital distribution plan included in U.S. Bancorp’s 2017 capital plan submitted as part of its 2017 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review. As a result of this non-objection, U.S. Bancorp expects to recommend in July that its board of directors approve an increase in the annual dividend rate on U.S. Bancorp common stock to $1.20, or $0.30 on a quarterly basis, beginning with the third quarter dividend payable in October 2017. U.S. Bancorp also announced that the board of directors has approved a four-quarter authorization to repurchase up to $2.6 billion of its outstanding common stock beginning on July 1, 2017.
