Atlantic Union trades on Nasdaq under A-A-T-L. Frost parent Cullen/Frost trades on NYSE under C-F-R. Neither institution was formally sanctioned.

Second — and this is the bigger market mover — the Fed has confirmed annual bank stress test results drop Wednesday, June 24th, 4 p.m. Eastern. That's your hard deadline.
