Ticker symbol to remain “IBOC”
LAREDO, Texas—(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 6, 2026—International Bancshares Corporation (NASDAQ: IBOC) (“IBC”), one of the largest independent bank holding companies in Texas, today announced its plans to transfer the primary listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) to the Texas Stock Exchange (“TXSE”). IBC expects its common stock to begin trading on TXSE at market open on Monday, October 19, 2026, under its current ticker symbol “IBOC.”
“Texas has long been a place where free enterprise principles have allowed businesses to build, grow, and lead, and we are excited to continue that legacy by bringing IBC’s primary listing to the state where our business has prospered for 60 years,” said Dennis E. Nixon, IBC’s Chairman and CEO. “We are proud to join the Texas Stock Exchange and are confident in its ability to create new opportunities for our business and our investors.”
IBC’s decision to transfer the primary listing of its common stock to TXSE is grounded in its longstanding ties to Texas, where its operations, customer base, and community relationships are centered. Headquartered in Laredo, where its flagship bank was founded in 1966, IBC serves 75 communities across Texas and Oklahoma through its five subsidiary banks. IBC is proud to be at the forefront of this new chapter in Texas’s capital markets and believes TXSE will be a catalyst for capital formation, business growth, and market innovation. IBC’s move to TXSE aligns its deep roots in the Lone Star State with its long-term focus on delivering lasting value to shareholders.
“IBC is one of the great franchises in Texas banking — opened in Laredo in 1966 with less than $1 million in assets and grown into a $17 billion institution trusted by generations of businesses and families,” said James H. Lee, chairman and CEO of TXSE. “The Texas Stock Exchange was built to power American success stories like IBC, and we are proud to have earned its primary listing.”
No action is required by IBC’s shareholders in connection with the transfer of IBC’s listing to TXSE. IBC’s common stock will continue trading on Nasdaq until the close of market on Friday, October 16, 2026.
Closing-Bell Ceremony
IBC looks forward to celebrating its historic move to TXSE at a closing-bell ceremony that it plans to hold in Houston, Texas, on December 7, 2026.
