Vanguard subsidiary realignment; PFBC holding shown as 0 shares (PFBC)
The Vanguard Group has filed an amended Schedule 13G/A for Preferred Bank (PFBC), reporting 0 shares and 0% beneficial ownership following an internal realignment effective January 12, 2026. This realignment means certain Vanguard subsidiaries will now report their holdings separately on a disaggregated basis, as per SEC guidance. The filing clarifies Vanguard's reporting structure but does not detail potential holdings by its subsidiaries, which would be disclosed in separate future filings if applicable.
