American Savings Bank Finalizes Upsized IPO at $16 Per Share

American Savings Bank, N.A. (ASBH) has completed its upsized initial public offering, with existing stockholders selling more than 9.2 million shares of common stock at a price of $16.00 per share. The Hawaii-based bank announced that it did not receive any proceeds from the transaction, as all shares were sold by current owners.

Offering Details

The offering, which closed on September 17, 2026, initially consisted of 8,057,240 shares. According to the company's statement, underwriters exercised their full over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,208,586 shares, bringing the total transaction size to approximately $148.3 million.

Key figures from the offering include:

• Initial Shares: 8,057,240
• Over-Allotment Shares: 1,208,586
• Total Shares Sold: 9,265,826
• Offer Price: $16.00 per share

Because all shares were sold by existing stockholders, the transaction is a secondary offering. This provides liquidity for those shareholders rather than raising new capital for the bank's operations or expansion.
