Share Repurchase Program

 

On March 14, 2012, Huntington Bancshares Incorporated announced that the Federal Reserve did not object to Huntington's proposed capital actions included in Huntington's capital plan submitted to the Federal Reserve in January of this year. These actions included the potential repurchase of up to $182 million of common stock and a continuation of Huntington's current common dividend through the first quarter of 2013. Huntington's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program consistent with Huntington's capital plan. Huntington did not repurchase any shares during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
