| Rationale regarding the one-time equity award for NEOs                   |     | It is the view of the Board that recognition and retention are critical to meet the strategic plan established in 2021. After a review of compensation peers and beyond, the Board made the decision to provide a one-time equity award to the NEOs in 2024, in recognition of performance through the challenging macroeconomic environment and to reinforce to management the Board’s support and desire to retain key talent.                                                                                                                                        |
| Continued focus on Board composition                                     |     | The Board will continue to take this into account when evaluating director candidates.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

Future advisory votes on executive compensation and continued dialogue with stockholders will continue to be an additional tool to guide the Board and Compensation Committee in evaluating the alignment of the Company’s executive compensation program with the interests of the Company and its stockholders.

### Executive Compensation Supports Business Transformation
The Compensation Committee continues to make changes to the Company’s executive compensation program to reflect the ongoing transformation of the Company and its long-term strategic goals. The Compensation Committee views executive compensation as instrumental in the Company’s ability to drive stockholder value through plans and programs that reinforce shared success, serve to attract the talent needed to effectively develop and execute on the Company’s strategic priorities, align the interests of executives with those of stockholders over the short-, medium-, and long-term, and discourage imprudent or excessive risk-taking and hold individuals accountable, as appropriate.

#### Enhancements to the Compensation Program
To foster and reinforce alignment between the interests of the NEOs and those of stockholders, the Compensation Committee made a number of enhancements to the Company’s executive compensation program over the last few years, specifically:

| Annual (Cash) Incentive Compensation Plan Design      |     | For 2023:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 Performance measures have substantially greater emphasis on quantitative measures: Financial Measures (70% weighting): Return on Average Assets (35% weighting) and Efficiency Ratio (35% weighting), and Management Strategic Objectives (“MSOs”) (30% weighting). MSOs are customized for each NEO based on the four Company-wide strategic goals.
