Ticker impact
Withdrew regulatory applications for the proposed Grasshopper Bancorp acquisition, prompting a >15% drop.
Potential further decline of 3‑5% as investors await next steps.
Deal pull‑back removes a growth catalyst; guidance remains unchanged but market reaction is negative.
Announced a $81‑priced common stock offering of 12.3 million shares, causing a ~2% slide.
Modest further decline of 1‑2% as the market prices dilution.
Dilution without clear use of proceeds typically weighs on price.

Potential 4‑6% gain if momentum sustains.
