Mar. 31, 2023

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Common Stock

At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, common stock amounted to $59.9 million.

Additional Paid-in Capital

Additional paid-in capital represents contributed capital in excess of par value of common stock, net of the costs of issuance. At both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accumulated common stock issuance costs charged against additional paid-in capital amounted to $13.6 million.

Legal Surplus

The Puerto Rico Banking Act requires that a minimum of 10% of the Bank’s net income for the year be transferred to a reserve fund until such fund (legal surplus) equals the total paid-in capital on common and preferred stock. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Bank’s legal surplus amounted to $138.3 million and $133.9 million, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, OFG transferred $4.4 million to the legal surplus account. The amount transferred to the legal surplus account is not available for the payment of dividends to shareholders.

Treasury Stock

In January 2022, OFG announced the approval by the Board of Directors of a stock repurchase program to purchase $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. The shares of common stock repurchased are held by OFG as treasury shares. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, OFG repurchased 104,800 shares for a total of $2.9 million at an average price of $27.61 per share. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, OFG repurchased 1,219,132 shares for a total of $33.5 million, at an average price of $27.46 per share.

At March 31, 2023, the number of shares that may yet be purchased under the $100 million program is estimated at 1,323,017 and was calculated by dividing the remaining balance of $33.0 million by $24.94 (closing price of OFG’s common stock at March 31, 2023).

OFG did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, other than through its publicly announced stock repurchase program.

The activity in connection with common shares held in treasury by OFG for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 is set forth below:
