Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 1, 2026, Atlantic Union Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it had completed the sale (the “Transaction”) of the Company’s interest (held by the Company’s indirect subsidiary, Union Insurance Group, LLC) in Bearing Insurance Group, LLC to an unaffiliated third party, effective May 1, 2026. Based solely on information available to the Company on the date hereof, the Company estimates that the Company will recognize a pre-tax gain of approximately $32.3 million on the Transaction, which will be included in the Company’s financial results for the second quarter of 2026.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in Current Report on Form 8-K may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder, which statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Transaction, including the Company’s expected gain to be recognized on the Transaction. Such statements are often characterized by the use of qualified words (and their derivatives) such as “intend,” “may,” “will,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” and “project,” as well as words of similar meaning or other statements concerning opinions or judgment of us or our management about future events. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as of the time they are made and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, include, among others, the possibility that the expected financial impacts of the Transaction may differ from current expectations, including as a result of post-closing purchase price or other adjustments to consideration received; business, economic, tax and other factors affecting the Transaction; and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.
Although the Company believes that its expectations with respect to forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its existing knowledge of its business and operations, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from any projected future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and other documents subsequently filed by the Company with the Securities Exchange Commission. Investors are cautioned not to rely too heavily on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or clarify these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law.
