Deferred Compensation Agreements

In December 2024, the Company entered into deferred compensation agreements (the “Agreements”) with the executives named below in lieu of equity awards they would have been granted under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which expired in March 2024. 

The Company entered into deferred compensation agreements, effective as of January 1, 2025, with Mark Mason, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, John Michel, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and William Endresen, Executive Vice President, Commercial Real Estate and Commercial Capital President of HomeStreet Bank. Under their respective agreements, Mr. Mason, Mr. Michel and Mr. Endresen will be entitled to receive $855,088, $293,638, and $215,150, respectively, with 50% of the amount, for each executive, vesting in equal installments on each of the next three anniversaries of the effective date his agreement (the “Annual Vesting Amount”) and the remaining 50% vesting in full on the third anniversary of the effective date of his agreement (the “Cliff Vesting Amount”), subject, in each case, to the executive’s continuous service through the applicable vesting date.

If the executive’s service terminates due to death or disability, the executive will be deemed to have vested in a pro rata portion of the Annual Vesting Amount and the Cliff Vesting Amount as of the date of such termination. If the executive’s service terminates on or prior to January 1, 2028 as a result of the executive’s retirement on or after age 65, the executive will vest in a pro rata portion of the deferred compensation amount.

If a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Agreements) occurs prior to January 1, 2028, and the executive’s service is terminated without “cause” (as defined in the Agreements), in connection with the Change in Control within 12 months following such Change of Control, then the deferred compensation amount will be deemed to have vested in full on the effective date of the termination of the executive’s service.
