. Chapman, Cole (upon completion of the FBMS merger), McGraw and Waycaster, do not receive additional compensation for services rendered as directors.

Each year, our independent compensation consultant, which was Meridian Compensation Advisors, LLC with respect to 2024 director compensation, provides the compensation committee with information about peer group compensation practices and makes recommendations for non-employee director compensation. The compensation committee reviews the consultant’s information and recommends to our full board the level of non-employee director compensation for the upcoming year. At its December meeting, the board reviews the compensation committee’s recommendations and ordinarily ratifies the recommended compensation. Any modifications are generally implemented after our annual meeting.

Compensation for our non-employee directors is set at a level that is at or near the median of the compensation paid to directors in our peer group using information obtained from the independent compensation consultant about the practices of companies in the group. More information about our peer group can be found in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section below under the heading “Compensation Committee Practices – Peer Group.” As a matter of policy, each of our non-employee directors receives an annual stock award with the same value. Annual cash retainers are the same among non-employee directors, except that we pay an additional retainer to our lead director, the chairs of Company and Bank committees and all of the members of the Bank’s credit review committee (due to the frequency that this committee meets). We do not pay meeting fees for attendance at board or board committee meetings, nor do we pay special or strategic compensation (such as for the completion of a merger), make “one-time” payments, provide tax gross ups, negotiate additional fees or payments for individual directors or “benchmark” compensation to our peer group.
