Item 8.01
Other Events.
On June 28, 2018, Capital One Financial Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve had completed its review under the Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) process and that it did not object to the Company’s proposed capital plan submitted pursuant to CCAR. The company expects to maintain its quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share, subject to approval by its Board of Directors.  In addition, the company's Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $1.2 billion of shares of the company's common stock beginning in the third quarter of 2018 through the end of the second quarter of 2019. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The timing and exact amount of any common stock repurchases will depend on various factors, including market conditions, opportunities for growth and the Company’s capital position and amount of retained earnings. The Company’s share repurchase program does not include specific price targets, may be executed through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including utilizing Rule 10b5-1 programs, and may be suspended at any time.
