The repurchase authorization represents 2.9% of Byline’s outstanding common stock.
Roberto R. Herencia, the executive chairman and CEO of BY, stated, “The new share buyback authorization, which we believe is consistent with our disciplined approach, demonstrates our continued commitment to using this tool as part of our capital management strategy.”

Since the company did not repurchase any shares under the plan during the nine months ended Sep 30, 2023, the entire authorization remained available for repurchase at the end of the third quarter of 2023.
