 Governance and Nominating Committee will consider candidates for director who are recommended by its members, by other Board members, by management, by shareholders, by contacts in the communities we serve, and by third-party search firms. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has the authority to engage a third-party search firm or consultant to identify and provide information on potential candidates for review, based on the criteria described in this section. There are no differences in the manner in which the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will evaluate nominees for director in the event the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. Shareholders who wish to submit nominees for director for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for election at Popular’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders may do so as set forth under the “General Information About the Meeting—Shareholder Proposals” section of this Proxy Statement. There were no nominees for director recommended by shareholders for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for election at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. At this year’s annual meeting, all nominees are currently incumbent directors.
