Summary

Charles Schwab filed paperwork with Delaware on June 1, 2026, to formally eliminate its Series I Preferred Stock from its corporate charter. This 4.000% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock series has been fully redeemed or retired, and the Certificate of Elimination is standard administrative housekeeping that removes all references to the series from the company's Fifth Restated Certificate of Incorporation. For common stockholders, this is a routine corporate action with minimal direct impact.

The elimination simplifies Schwab's capital structure by reducing the number of authorized preferred stock series. Preferred stockholders who held Series I shares would have already been paid out through redemption prior to this filing. Investors should watch for any future preferred stock issuances or redemptions as Schwab manages its capital structure, particularly if the company seeks to raise capital or optimize its regulatory capital ratios in the financial services environment.
