Business First Bancshares, Inc. 8-K/A

What Happened

• Business First Bancshares, Inc. filed an Amendment to its Form 8-K on January 23, 2026 to furnish a revised press release that corrects the record and payment dates for the quarterly preferred and common dividends that were inadvertently transposed in the original press release. The original filing (furnished January 22, 2026) announced the company’s financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. The amended press release is dated January 23, 2026 and the 8-K amendment was signed by President and CEO David R. Melville, III.

Key Details

• Amendment filed: January 23, 2026 (corrected press release dated Jan 23, 2026).
• Original Form 8-K/press release furnished: January 22, 2026, covering results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
• Purpose: Correct transposed record and payment dates for quarterly preferred and common dividends in the previously furnished press release.
• Exhibit included: Press Release of Business First Bancshares, Inc. (Exhibit 99.1) announcing 2025 results.

Why It Matters

• The amendment clarifies dividend record and payment timing—important for shareholders who need accurate dates to determine dividend eligibility and to plan trades around ex-dividend timing.
• The filing does not change the fact that the company reported its quarterly and year-end results; it updates only the dividend timing information in the previously furnished earnings release. Investors should review the revised press release (Exhibit 99.1) for the corrected dividend dates.
