Disclosure Capital Additional Information [Abstract] |
Capital | Capital In 2012, First Commonwealth announced a $50.0 million common stock repurchase program. Additional share repurchase programs were authorized for up to $25.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock for each year from 2013 to 2016. The repurchase program was suspended in July 2016 as a result of the acquisition of thirteen branches in northern Ohio which management believes represents a better use of capital for shareholder. Repurchases under all programs resulted in a total of 16,665,735 shares repurchased at an average price of $7.55 per share.
