Origin Bancorp Files Form 25 to Delist Common Stock From NYSE

What happened

Origin Bancorp, Inc., the Ruston, Louisiana-based parent of Origin Bank, filed a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2026, according to the filing. The form is titled 'Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.'

The security covered by the filing is Origin's common stock, par value $5.00 per share, listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker OBK. Shares closed at $51.56 on the filing date, down 1.73% from the prior close of $52.47.

The filing checks the box for 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(c), which governs an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a class of securities from listing and registration. It is signed by William J. Wallace, IV, the company's Senior Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

The filing does not state a reason for the delisting, and no other source provided here explains it.

What this means

A Form 25 is the document that removes a security from an exchange listing. Either the company itself or the exchange can file one. This one was filed by Origin Bancorp, and the checked rule provision identifies it as a voluntary withdrawal by the issuer rather than an exchange-initiated strike.

The distinction matters because Form 25 covers two very different situations. One is a company taking its common stock off an exchange — often ahead of a merger, a move to a different market, or a decision to deregister from SEC reporting. The other is a routine bond repayment: when a company's notes or debentures mature, a Form 25 is filed to remove that debt security from listing, which is housekeeping and not a sign of trouble. This filing covers common stock, not debt, so it falls in the first category — a material event for shareholders.

Origin Bancorp is a bank holding company; its subsidiary, Origin Bank, operates branches across Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi. Its shares, not bonds, are the security being withdrawn here.

Under the rule cited, the delisting takes effect after the exchange complies with its own procedures, typically about ten days after the filing. Once a class of securities is no longer listed and registered under Section 12(b), the company's reporting obligations under that section generally end, although it may still have separate reporting duties depending on whether its stock continues to trade in another venue or whether it registers under a different provision. The filing itself does not indicate where, or whether, the shares will trade afterward.

The price move on the filing date — a 1.73% decline — is small relative to what a delisting announcement sometimes produces, but the sources here do not establish what the market was reacting to or whether the move is connected to the filing at all.
