 authorized to issue 3,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of December 8, 2023, 6,000 shares of 5.25% Series F Non-CumulativePerpetual Preferred Stock (“ Series F Preferred Stock”) and 135,000 shares of 6.50% Series G Non-CumulativePerpetual Preferred Stock (“ Series G Preferred Stock”) were issued and outstanding. On December 12, 2017, we closed on a public offering of 6,000,000 depositary shares, which each represent 1/1000th ownership interest in a share of our outstanding Series F Preferred Stock. Additionally, in connection with the Sterling Bancorp (“ Sterling”) merger, on January 31, 2022, the Company registered and issued 5,400,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/40th interest in a share of our outstanding Series G Preferred Stock. The Series G Preferred Stock ranks on parity with the Series F Preferred Stock and senior to our common stock, with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution, or winding-upof the Company. For information relating to the rights, preferences and other terms of our Series F Preferred Stock and our Series G Preferred Stock, see Exhibit 4.1to our Annual Report on Form 10-Kfor the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated in this prospectus by reference. Our Certificate of Incorporation, subject to limitations prescribed in our Certificate of Incorporation and subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, authorizes the board of directors, from time to time by resolution or duly authorizing committee of the board and without further stockholder action, to provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix the relative rights and preferences of the shares, including voting powers, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, redemption rights and conversion privileges. As a result of its broad discretion with respect to the creation and issuance of preferred stock without stockholder approval, the board of directors could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and, by issuing shares of preferred stock with certain voting, conversion and/or redemption rights, could discourage any attempt to obtain control of Webster. Terms of the Preferred Stock That We May Offer and Sell to You You should refer to the prospectus supplement relating to the class or series of preferred stock being offered for the specific terms of that class or series
