Northern Trust Announces Federal Reserve’s Review of Its 2018 Capital Plan

Northern Trust Corporation today announced that the Federal Reserve did not object to its 2018 Capital Plan.

Pursuant to its 2018 Capital Plan, Northern Trust requested authority to increase its quarterly common stock dividend to $0.55 per share from $0.42 per share, effective in the third quarter of 2018 and subject to approval by the company’s board of directors. As indicated by the Federal Reserve’s 2018 stress test results, Northern Trust’s 2018 Capital Plan also provides the company with the flexibility to repurchase up to $1 billion of common stock through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions between July 2018 and June 2019. The timing and amount of shares repurchased will depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, Northern Trust’s business plans, financial performance, other investment opportunities, and general market conditions, including share price.

“We believe the capital distributions included in our 2018 Capital Plan demonstrate the strength of Northern Trust’s focused business model and balance sheet, as well as our commitment to shareholders,” said Michael O’Grady, Northern Trust President and Chief Executive Officer.
