AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Rambus (RMBS)

Rambus starts $100 million accelerated share repurchase with Mizuho

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 shareholder Written later

On August 4, 2026, Rambus entered an accelerated share repurchase agreement with Mizuho under which it will pre-pay $100 million to buy back its common stock. The program is part of a broader buyback previously authorized by the board, and the filing says it is expected to finish by the end of the third quarter of 2026. The final number of shares repurchased will depend on the stock's volume-weighted average price over the term, less a discount.

Key points

  • Rambus will pre-pay $100 million to Mizuho Markets Americas LLC, acting through Mizuho Securities USA LLC.
  • The company will receive an initial delivery of approximately 796,000 shares.
  • The final share count depends on the volume-weighted average price during the term, less a discount.
  • The program is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2026.
