Medallion Bank Reopens Preferred Stock Offering to Raise Capital
Medallion Bank is expanding its Series G preferred stock offering, with proceeds potentially used to retire older senior preferred shares.
Medallion Bank has moved to raise additional capital by reopening a preferred stock offering it first launched in late May 2025. The bank is selling additional shares of its Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series G, each carrying a liquidation preference of $25 per share — a standard par value for retail-accessible preferred issues designed to attract a broad investor base.
The decision to reopen rather than initiate a new series signals that market conditions were favorable enough to revisit the original May 22 issuance. Reopening an existing tranche is a common capital markets tactic that allows issuers to avoid the administrative overhead of a fresh registration while still tapping investor demand, effectively extending the same security under identical terms.

What makes this offering strategically notable is its stated use of proceeds. Medallion Bank has indicated the net capital raised could be deployed toward redeeming its outstanding Senior Series E Preferred Stock — a move that would simplify the bank's capital structure by retiring an older, senior-ranking obligation. That redemption, however, hinges on receiving approval from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, underscoring the regulatory constraints that govern capital actions at FDIC-supervised institutions.
For investors, the "non-cumulative" designation carries meaningful risk: if the bank skips a dividend payment, holders of Series G shares have no right to recover those missed payments in the future, unlike cumulative preferred structures. The "perpetual" nature means the shares have no fixed maturity date, leaving redemption entirely at the issuer's discretion within regulatory bounds. Together, these features place Series G closer to equity than debt on the risk spectrum, while offering the yield profile that typically draws income-oriented buyers to preferred instruments.
