Origin Bancorp to move stock listing from NYSE to Texas Stock Exchange

What happened

Origin Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company based in Ruston, Louisiana, told the New York Stock Exchange on September 15, 2026 that it will voluntarily withdraw the principal listing of its voting common stock from the NYSE and move it to the Texas Stock Exchange, according to a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company said in the filing that it acted with authorization from its board of directors. It expects trading of its common stock on the NYSE to end at market close on October 12, 2026, and trading on the TXSE to begin at market open on October 13, 2026. The stock will keep the ticker symbol "OBK" on the new exchange.

The same filing states that the common stock has been authorized for listing on the TXSE. Origin also issued a press release the same day announcing the transfer, attached to the filing as Exhibit 99.1.

The filing does not give a reason for the decision to change exchanges. The disclosed facts are the notice to the NYSE, the expected end of NYSE trading, the expected start of TXSE trading, and the authorization of the listing on TXSE.

The company

Origin Bancorp is a state commercial bank holding company incorporated in Louisiana, with principal offices at 500 South Service Road East in Ruston. Its common stock has a par value of $5.00 per share and trades under the symbol OBK. The shares closed at $54.19 on the day of the filing, down 0.4% from the prior close of $54.41, according to the price data provided.

What this means

A Form 8-K is a current report. Public companies file one when certain specified events occur between their regular quarterly and annual reports. Item 3.01 of the form is triggered when a company notifies an exchange that it is withdrawing a listing, when an exchange notifies a company that it has failed a continued listing standard, or when a listing is transferred. Origin's filing cites Item 3.01, which is how a company formally announces that its stock is moving or being removed from a listing.

This is a voluntary transfer, not a listing-rule failure. The distinction matters: an exchange can delist a company for falling below standards such as a minimum share price, but here the company itself gave notice that it is choosing to leave the NYSE for another venue. The filing describes it as a determination made with board authorization.

The stock is not disappearing. A listing is the exchange venue where shares are bought and sold; changing it does not change the shares themselves, the company's business, or the ticker symbol. The company keeps the same CUSIP and the same symbol, "OBK," on the Texas Stock Exchange.

The Texas Stock Exchange is a newer venue. Filings of this kind typically prompt brokers, data providers and index providers to update where they route and display quotes, but the filing itself does not include any such operational detail.

Item 7.01 in the same filing is the Regulation FD disclosure. Regulation FD requires that when a company gives material information to certain outside parties, it must also disclose it publicly. Origin used Item 7.01 to note the simultaneous press release about the transfer. Information furnished under Item 7.01 is not treated as "filed" under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act, which means it does not carry the same liability standards as the rest of the 8-K — this is a technical distinction set out in the form's General Instruction B.2.

Item 9.01 lists exhibits filed with the report, here the press release.
