PITTSBURGH, Pa. – The board of directors for F.N.B. Corp. has approved a stock repurchase program for up to $150 million of common stock.

Delie Jr. in a statement.
F.N.B., the parent company of First National Bank of Pennsylvania, may end the buyback at any time.
With roughly 380 offices across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina and South Carolina, F.N.B. has assets of $34 billion. In July, the bank reported second-quarter income of $93.2 million.
