 Popular Announces Capital Actions 

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – (BUSINESS WIRE) – July 23, 2026 – Popular, Inc. (the “Corporation”) (NASDAQ: BPOP) announced today
the following capital actions: 
  

 
•
 
 an increase in the Corporation’s quarterly common stock dividend from $0.75 to $0.90 per share, commencing
with the dividend payable in the fourth quarter of 2026, subject to the approval of the Corporation’s Board of Directors; and 

  

 
•
 
 a new common stock repurchase authorization of up to $1 billion. 

The Corporation’s planned common stock repurchases may be executed in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or any
other manner determined by the Corporation. The Corporation has repurchased approximately $280 million in common stock to date in 2026 and, as of June 30, 2026, had fully utilized the $500 million common stock repurchase authorization
approved in 2025. The timing, quantity and price of the Corporation’s common stock repurchases will be subject to various factors, including market conditions, the Corporation’s capital position, liquidity and financial performance, the
capital impact of strategic initiatives and tax and regulatory considerations, including regulatory approvals for subsidiary dividends. The common stock repurchase authorization does not require the Corporation to acquire a specific dollar amount or
number of shares and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. 
 “Our significant excess capital, robust liquidity
and strong financial performance enable us to consistently service our clients and communities while continuing to return capital to our shareholders,” said Javier D. Ferrer, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. “The
intended dividend increase reflects confidence in our capacity to deliver sustainable financial results. The new share repurchase authorization allows us to deploy capital over time to enhance shareholder value.”
