 2024. Pay Versus Performance Disclosure As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information that demonstrates the relationship between executive “Compensation Actually Paid” and the Company’s performance against several specific financial metrics. For further information regarding our executive compensation and programs, the metrics used by our Compensation Committee to set executive compensation for 2024 (which is different than the financial metrics we are required to include in the tables and discussion below) and our pay- for-performance philosophy, please refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section included herein. The table below reflects the Compensation Actually Paid to the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and average Compensation Actually Paid to non-PEO NEO’s during 2020 through 2024. In addition, the table compares our Total Stockholder Return (“TSR”) against our peer group TSR using the KBW Nasdaq Regional Bank Index.**
