 Exhibit 10.14 

REUNION BANK OF FLORIDA 

DIRECTORS’ STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT 

THIS AGREEMENT (hereinafter “Agreement”) is entered into effective as of the
1st day of October, 2014 (the “Grant Date”), by and between Reunion Bank of Florida, a Florida banking corporation (hereinafter “Bank”), and
                            , currently serving as a director of the Bank (the “Bank”) (hereinafter
“Optionee”). 
 WITNESSETH: 

WHEREAS, Optionee is a director of the Bank, and the Bank considers it desirable and in the best interest that options to purchase the
Bank’s common stock be given to the Optionee as inducement to acquire a further proprietary interest in the Bank; and 
 WHEREAS, the
granting of options to purchase common stock of the Bank hereunder is in accordance with Reunion Bank of Florida Directors’ Stock Option Plan, and as the same may be amended from time to time. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 
 Definitions 

As used in this Agreement, all terms which are defined in the Reunion Bank of Florida Directors’ Stock Option Plan, as the same may from
time to time be amended (the “Plan”), shall have the meanings specified in the Plan, unless otherwise specifically defined herein. 

ARTICLE II 
 Effective Date 

2.1 Effective Date. The effective date of this Agreement shall be the Grant Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Option” shall mean the option to purchase Stock granted to the Optionee pursuant to the Plan. 








 ARTICLE III 

Shares of Stock Subject to Option 

3.1 Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, the Optionee may purchase up to
                     (            ) shares of Stock hereunder, which shall be issued and
sold by the Bank only upon exercise (in accordance with Section 4.2(b) of this Agreement) of the Option granted pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement. 

3.2 Shares Issued Pursuant to this Agreement. Shares of Stock with respect to which the Option granted hereunder shall have been
exercised shall not again be available for Option hereunder. 
 3.3 Stock Adjustments; Mergers and Combinations. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Agreement, if the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Bank or of any other corporation by reason of any
merger, consolidation, liquidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split up, combination of shares, or stock dividend, the total number of shares subject to Option pursuant to this Agreement shall be proportionately and appropriately
adjusted by the Stock Option Committee. If the Bank continues in existence, the number and kind of shares that are subject to any Option and the Option Price per share shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted without any change in the
aggregate price to be paid therefor upon exercise of the Option. If the Bank will not remain in existence or a majority of its stock will be purchased or acquired by a single purchaser or group of purchasers acting together, then the Stock Option
Committee may (i) declare that all Options shall terminate 30 days after the Stock Option Committee gives written notice to all Optionees of their immediate right to exercise all Options then outstanding (without regard to limitations on
exercise otherwise contained in the Options), or (ii) notify all Optionees that all Options granted under the Plan shall apply with appropriate adjustments as determined by the Stock Option Committee to the securities of the successor
corporation to which holders of the numbers of shares subject to such Options would have been entitled, or (iii) some combination of aspects of (i) and (ii). The determination by the Stock Option Committee as to the terms of any of the
foregoing adjustments shall be conclusive and binding. 
 3.4 Acceleration of Option Exercise. Subject to Section 3.3 and
following the third anniversary of the opening of the Bank, upon dissolution or liquidation of the Bank, any merger or combination in which the Bank is not a surviving corporation, or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Bank is involved,
or upon any Change of Control, the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option thereafter in whole or in part, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2(b) hereof and the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Plan, to the extent
that the Option shall not have been exercised prior thereto.

 3 









 
money order payable to “Reunion Bank of Florida”) to the Bank at such office of the amount of the Option Price for the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Option is then

full amount of all federal, state, and local withholding or other employment taxes, if any, applicable to the taxable income of the Optionee resulting from such exercise, and any sales, transfer, or similar taxes imposed with respect to the issuance
or transfer of shares of Stock in connection with such exercise. 
 4.3 Nontransferability of Option. No Option shall be transferred
by the Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable only by him or by his legal guardian or personal representative, or by an individual holding on
behalf of the Optionee a valid Durable Power of Attorney. 
 4.4 Effect of Death, Disability, Retirement, or Other Termination of
Service. 
  

	 	(a)	If the Optionee’s Service with the Bank shall be terminated for any reason other than the retirement after age seventy-two (72) or the disability (as defined in the Plan) or death of the Optionee, then no
unexercised portion of the Option may be exercised on or after such termination of Services. 

  

	 	(b)	If the Optionee’s Service with the Bank shall be terminated by reason of retirement after age seventy-two (72) or death or disability (as defined in the Plan) or death of the Optionee, then the Optionee or

transferred by the personal representative or administrator pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, as the case may be, shall have the right to exercise the Optionee’s Option for ninety (90) days after
the date of such termination (one year in the case of death or disability), and to the extent of the full amount of the shares subject to such Options. 

  

	 	(c)	No transfer of the Option by the Optionee by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Bank unless the Bank shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and an authenticated
copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Bank may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer and the acceptance by the transferee or transferees of the terms and conditions of the Option.

 4.5 Rights as Shareholder. The Optionee or a transferee of the Option shall have no rights
as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Stock subject to the Option prior to the purchase of such shares by exercise of the Option as provided herein. 

4.6 Optionee’s Intent as to Stock Acquired by Exercise of Option. The Optionee agrees that, upon or prior to the exercise of all
or any portion of the Option, the Optionee shall furnish to the Bank in writing such information or assurances as, in the Bank’s opinion, may be necessary to enable it to comply fully with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules
and regulations thereunder and any other applicable statutes, rules, and regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, if a registration statement is not in effect under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to the shares of Stock to
be issued upon exercise of the Option, the Optionee further agrees that the Bank shall have the right to require, as a condition to the exercise of the Option, that the Optionee represent to the Bank in writing that the shares to be received upon
exercise of the Option will be acquired by the Optionee for investment and not with a view to distribution and that the Optionee agree, in writing, that such shares will not be disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement,
unless the Bank shall have received an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to it to the effect that such disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Optionee understands and agrees
that the Bank shall have the right to endorse on certificates representing shares of Stock issued upon exercise of the Option such legends referring to the foregoing representations and restrictions or any other applicable restrictions on resale or
disposition as the Bank, in its discretion, shall deem appropriate. 
 ARTICLE V 

Stock Certificates 
 The Bank
shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option granted hereunder or any portion thereof, prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: 

 

	 	(a)	The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Stock is then listed, if any; 

  

	 	(b)	The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any federal or state law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory
agency, which the Bank shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable; 

  

	 	(c)	The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal or state governmental agency which the Bank shall in its sole discretion determine to be necessary or advisable; and 


  
 5 










	 	(d)	The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the Bank from time to time may establish for reasons of administrative convenience. 


ARTICLE VI 
 Termination,
Amendment, and Modification of Plan 
 The Board may at any time terminate, and may at any time and from time to time and in any respect
amend or modify, the Plan; provided, however, that no such action of the Board without approval of the shareholders of the Bank may increase the total number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan except as contemplated in Section 4.3 of the
Plan or alter the class of persons eligible to receive Options under the Plan, and provided further that no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall without the written consent of the Optionee adversely affect the rights of the
Optionee with respect to the Option granted hereunder or the unexercised portion thereof. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Bank shall have the right (if directed by the Bank’s primary federal bank regulator) at any time to require the Optionee to exercise the Option or forfeit the Option, if the Bank’s capital falls below the minimum
requirements, as determined by such federal bank regulator. 
 ARTICLE VII 

Miscellaneous 
 7.1
Service. Nothing in this Agreement or the Option shall confer upon Optionee the right to continue in the Service of the Bank. 
 7.2
Other Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan and the execution of this Agreement shall not affect any other stock option or incentive or other compensation plans in effect for the Bank, nor shall the Plan or this Agreement preclude the
Bank from establishing any other forms of incentive or other compensation for directors, officers, or employees of the Bank. 
 7.3
Agreement Binding on Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Bank and the Optionee. 
 7.4

 7.6 Headings. Headings of Articles and Sections hereof are inserted for convenience and
reference only; they constitute no part of this Agreement. 
 7.7 Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement
shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

7.8 Notices. Unless otherwise specified herein, notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the principal office of the Bank, Attention: Corporate Secretary (if notice is to the Bank) and to the Optionee at the Optionee’s address set forth below (if notice is to the
Optionee), or to such other person or such other address as any such party may designate by like notice to the other party, and shall be deemed given as of the date and time received. 

7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be considered an
original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 
 7.10 Compliance with Section 409A of the
Code. To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Agreement and the Plan comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) do not apply to the Optionee. This
Agreement and the Plan shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Agreement or the Plan to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to
comply with Section 409A of the Code (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code and may be made by the Bank without the consent of the Optionee). 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have set forth their hands and seals.
