**ITEM 1.01** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT**

*Subordinated Note Offering*

On November 19, 2025, Bank of Marin Bancorp, a California corporation (the "Company")(Nasdaq: BMRC), and parent company of Bank of Marin, issued a press release announcing that it entered into Subordinated Note Purchase Agreements (the "Note Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company issued and sold $45 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the "Notes") to certain investors. The Notes were rated BBB- by Kroll Bond Rating Agency. The Notes were offered and sold by the Company in a private placement transaction in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes including the repositioning of its held-to-maturity securities portfolio and providing capital to support the organic growth of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of Marin.

The Notes will mature on December 1, 2035. From and including November 19, 2025, to, but excluding, December 1, 2030 or the date of earlier redemption, the Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on June 1, 2026, at a fixed interest rate of 6.750% per annum. From and including December 1, 2030, to, but excluding, the maturity date or the date of earlier redemption (the "Floating Rate Period") the Company will pay interest on the Notes at a floating interest rate. The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Rate Period shall be equal to the then-current Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined in the Notes) plus 335 basis points for each quarterly interest period during the Floating Rate Period. Interest payable on the Notes during the Floating Rate Period will be paid quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, of each year, commencing on March 1, 2031. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the benchmark rate is less than zero, the benchmark rate shall be deemed to be zero.

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes (i) in whole or in part beginning with the interest payment date of December 1, 2030, and on any interest payment date thereafter, or (ii) in whole, but not in part, upon the occurrence of a "Tier 2 Capital Event," a "Tax Event," or "Investment Company Event" (each as defined in the Notes). The redemption price for any redemption is 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued, but unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the date of redemption. Any redemption of the Notes will be subject to the receipt of any and all required federal and state regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to the extent then required under applicable laws or regulations.

There is no right of acceleration of maturity of the Notes in the case of default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or in the performance of any other obligation of the Company under the Notes. The Notes provide that holders of the Notes may accelerate payment of indebtedness only upon the Company's bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or other similar proceedings.

The Notes are general unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and rank junior to all of its existing and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Notes), including all of its general creditors. The Notes will be equal in right of payment with any of the Company's existing and future subordinated indebtedness, and will be senior to the Company's obligations relating to any junior subordinated debt securities issued to the Company's subsidiary trusts. In addition, the Notes are effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness.

The foregoing descriptions of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and are each qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of such

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5 No. 1 CUSIP: 063425AA0 ISIN: US063425AA03 BANK OF MARIN BANCORP 6.750% FIXED-TO-FLOATING RATE SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE DECEMBER 1, 2035 1. Subordinated Note. This Subordinated Note is one of an issue of notes of Bank of Marin Bancorp, a California corporation (the "Company"), designated as the "6.75% Fixed-to- Floating Rate Subordinated Note due December 1, 2035" (the "Subordinated Notes"). This Subordinated Note is issued pursuant to that certain Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of the date upon which this Subordinated Note was originally issued (the "Issue Date"), by and between the Company and the purchaser(s) identified on the signature pages to the Purchase Agreement. 2. Payment. The Company, for value received, promises to pay to promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of Forty Five Million Dollars (U.S.) ($45,000,000), plus accrued but unpaid interest on December 1, 2035 (the "Maturity Date") and to pay interest thereon (i) from and including the Issue Date to, but excluding, December 1, 2030 or the earlier redemption date contemplated by Section 4 (Redemption) of this Subordinated Note (the "Fixed Rate Period"), at the rate of 6.750% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year (each payment date, a "Fixed Interest Payment Date"), beginning on June 1, 2026, and (ii) from and including December 1, 2030 to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or earlier redemption date contemplated by Section 4 (Redemption) of this Subordinated Note (the "Floating Rate Period"), at the rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to the Floating Interest Rate (as defined below) determined on the Floating Interest Determination Date (as defined below) of the applicable interest period plus 335 basis points, computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year (each payment date, a "Floating Interest Payment Date"), beginning on March 1, 2031. Dollar amounts resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded up. The term "Floating Interest Determination Date" means the date upon which the Floating Interest Rate is determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined herein) pursuant to the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions (as defined herein). Any payment of principal of or interest on this Subordinated Note that would otherwise become due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day shall become due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on the date for payment of such principal or interest, and no interest will accrue in respect of such payment for the period after such day; provided, that in the event that any scheduled Floating Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to, but excluding, such Business Day. Dollar amounts resulting from interest calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one half cent being rounded upward. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Subordinated Note or the Purchase Agreement, (i) in the event the

------

![](a41-formofnotexconformed006.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6 Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined herein) is less than zero, the Three-Month Term SOFR shall be deemed to be zero, and (ii) if a Benchmark Transition Event (as defined herein) and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (as defined herein) have occurred and the Benchmark Replacement (as defined herein) is less than zero, then the Benchmark Replacement shall be deemed to be zero. (a) The Company shall take such actions as are necessary to ensure that from the commencement of the Floating Rate Period for so long as any of the Subordinated Notes remain outstanding there will at all times be a Calculation Agent appointed to calculate Three-Month Term SOFR in respect of each Floating Rate Period. The calculation of Three-Month Term SOFR for each applicable Floating Rate Period by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. The Calculation Agent's determination of any interest rate and its calculation of interest payments for any period will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent's principal offices, and will be made available to any Noteholder (as defined herein) upon request. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Company at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as Calculation Agent or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed; provided, that if a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed by the Company and such successor accepted such position within thirty (30) calendar days after the giving of notice of resignation by the Calculation Agent, then the resigning Calculation Agent may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Calculation Agent with respect to such series. For the avoidance of doubt, if at any time there is no Calculation Agent appointed by the Company, then the Company shall be the Calculation Agent. (b) An "Interest Payment Date" is either a Fixed Interest Payment Date or a Floating Interest Payment Date, as applicable. (c) A "Floating Interest Period" means the period from, and including, each Floating Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Floating Interest Payment Date, except for the initial Floating Interest Period, which will be the period from, and including, December 1, 2030 to, but excluding, the next succeeding Floating Interest Payment Date. (d) The "Floating Interest Rate" means: (i) initially Three-Month Term SOFR (as defined below); and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i) of this Section 2(d): (1) If the Calculation Agent determines prior to the relevant Floating Interest Determination Date that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date (each of such terms as defined below) have occurred with respect to Three- Month Term SOFR, then the Company shall promptly provide notice of such determination to the Noteholders and Section 2(e) (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event) will thereafter apply to all determinations, calculations and quotations made or obtained for the purposes of calculating the Floating Interest Rate payable on the Subordinated Notes during a relevant Floating Interest Period.

------

![](a41-formofnotexconformed007.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7 (2) However, if the Calculation Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, but for any reason the Benchmark Replacement has not been determined as of the relevant Floating Interest Determination Date, the Floating Interest Rate for the applicable Floating Interest Period will be equal to the Floating Interest Rate on the last Floating Interest Determination Date for the Subordinated Notes, as determined by the Calculation Agent. (e) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. (i) If the Calculation Agent determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time (as defined below) in respect of any determination of the Benchmark (as defined below) on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes relating to the Subordinated Notes during the relevant Floating Interest Period in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates. (ii) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Calculation Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time, and such changes shall become effective without consent from the relevant Noteholders (as defined below) or any other party. (iii) The Calculation Agent is expressly authorized to make certain determinations, decisions and elections under the Subordinated Notes, including with respect to the use of Three-Month Term SOFR as the Benchmark under this Section 2(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Calculation Agent under the terms of the Subordinated Notes, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection: (1) will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error; (2) if made by the Company as the Calculation Agent, will be made in the Company's sole discretion; (3) if made by the Calculation Agent (other than the Company), will be made after consultation with the Company, and the Calculation Agent will not make any such determination, decision or election to which the Company reasonably objects; and (4) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subordinated Note or the Purchase Agreement, shall become effective without consent from the relevant Noteholders (as defined below) or any other party. (iv) If the Calculation Agent fails to make any determination, decision or election that it is required to make under the terms of the Subordinated Notes, then the Company will make such determination, decision or election on the same basis as described above.

------

![](a41-formofnotexconformed008.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8 (v) For the avoidance of doubt, after a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred, interest payable on this Subordinated Note for the Floating Rate Period will be an annual rate equal to the sum of the applicable Benchmark Replacement and 335 basis points. (vi) If the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR, the Calculation Agent will have the right to establish the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions, and if any of the foregoing provisions concerning the calculation of the interest rate and the payment of interest during the Floating Rate Period are inconsistent with any of the Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions determined by the Calculation Agent, then the relevant Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions will apply. (vii) As used in this Subordinated Note: (1) "Affiliate(s)" means, with respect to any Person, such Person's immediate family members, partners, members or parent and Subsidiaries, and any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with said Person and their respective Affiliates. (2) "Benchmark" means, initially, Three-Month Term SOFR; provided that if the Calculation Agent determines on or prior to the Reference Time for any Floating Interest Period that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement for such Floating Interest Period and any subsequent Floating Interest Periods. (3) "Benchmark Replacement" means the Interpolated Benchmark with respect to the then-current Benchmark; provided that if (a) the Calculation Agent cannot determine the Interpolated Benchmark as of the Benchmark Replacement Date or (b) the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR and a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR (in which event no Interpolated Benchmark with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR shall be determined), then "Benchmark Replacement" means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date: a. the sum of (i) Compounded SOFR and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; b. the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body as the replacement for the then- current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; c. the sum of: (i) the ISDA Fallback Rate and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and d. the sum of: (i) the alternate rate of interest that has been selected by the Calculation Agent as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9 applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any industry-accepted rate of interest as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. (4) "Benchmark Replacement Adjustment" means the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Calculation Agent as of the Benchmark Replacement Date: a. the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement; b. if the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is equivalent to the ISDA Fallback Rate, then the ISDA Fallback Adjustment; or c. the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Calculation Agent giving due consideration to any industry-accepted spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar denominated floating rate notes at such time. (5) "Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes" means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of "Floating Interest Period," timing and frequency of determining rates with respect to each Floating Interest Period and making payments of interest, rounding of amounts or tenors, and other administrative matters) that the Calculation Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption of such Benchmark Replacement in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Calculation Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Calculation Agent determines that no market practice for use of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner as the Calculation Agent determines is reasonably necessary). (6) "Benchmark Replacement Date" means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: a. in the case of clause (a) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the relevant Reference Time in respect of any determination; or b. in the case of clause (b) or (c) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later of (i) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide the Benchmark; or c. in the case of clause (d) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the date of such public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

![](a41-formofnotexconformed010.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10 For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the definitions of Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Event, references to the Benchmark also include any reference rate underlying the Benchmark (for example, if the Benchmark becomes Compounded SOFR, references to the Benchmark would include SOFR). For the avoidance of doubt, if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for purposes of such determination. (7) "Benchmark Transition Event" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: a. if the Benchmark is Three-Month Term SOFR, (i) the Relevant Governmental Body has not selected or recommended a forward-looking term rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR; (ii) the development of a forward-looking term rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR that has been recommended or selected by the Relevant Governmental Body is not complete; or (iii) the Company determines that use of a forward-looking rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR is not administratively feasible; b. a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; c. a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark, the central bank for the currency of the Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for the Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for the Benchmark, which states that the administrator of the Benchmark has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark; or d. a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative. (8) "Business Day" means any day that is not a Saturday or Sunday and that is not a day on which banks in the State of California are generally authorized or required by law or executive order to be closed. (9) "Calculation Agent" means the agent (which may be the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) appointed by the Company, in its sole discretion, to act as Calculation Agent for the Subordinated Notes prior to the commencement of the Floating Interest Period to act in accordance with Section 2 (Payment).

(16) "ISDA" means the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any successor thereto. (17) "ISDA Definitions" means the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the ISDA or any successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time.

(30) "Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement" means the Benchmark Replacement excluding the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. 3. Subordination.

![](a41-formofnotexconformed014.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14 and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. This Subordinated Note is not secured by any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. (b) In the event of any liquidation of the Company, holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be entitled to be paid in full with such interest as may be provided by law before any payment shall be made on account of principal of or interest on this Subordinated Note. Additionally, in the event of any insolvency, dissolution, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any liquidation or winding up of or relating to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Notes, including this Subordinated Note. In the event of any such proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, the Noteholders, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with the Subordinated Notes, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the unpaid principal thereof, and the unpaid interest thereon before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall be made (i) with respect to any obligation that by its terms expressly is junior to in the right of payment to the Subordinated Notes, (ii) with respect to any indebtedness between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or (iii) on account of any capital stock.

The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 3(b) above would be applicable. (d) Nothing herein shall act to prohibit, limit or impede the Company from issuing additional debt of the Company having the same rank as the Subordinated Notes or which may be junior or senior in rank to the Subordinated Notes. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 3. Each Noteholder, by its acceptance hereof, further acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration for each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Subordinated Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness, and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold or in continuing to hold such Senior Indebtedness. 4.

This Subordinated Note shall not be redeemable by the Company in whole or in part prior to the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, except in the event of: (i) a Tier 2 Capital Event (as defined herein); (ii) a Tax Event (as defined herein); or (iii) an Investment Company Event (as defined herein). Upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or an Investment Company Event, the Company may redeem this

![](a41-formofnotexconformed015.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15 Subordinated Note, subject to Section 4(f) (Regulatory Approvals) hereof, in whole, but not in part, at any time, upon giving not less than ten (10) calendar days' notice to the Noteholders at an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, to but excluding the redemption date. "Tier 2 Capital Event" means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the effect that as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any rules, guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory authority for the Company or (b) any official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of this Subordinated Note, the Subordinated Notes do not constitute, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion will not constitute, Tier 2 Capital (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) (or its equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies), as then in effect and applicable to the Company that would preclude the Subordinated Notes from being included as Tier 2 Capital. "Tax Event" means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the effect that, as a result of (a) an amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws or any regulations of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority, or (b) any official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of the issuance of this Subordinated Note, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the interest payable on the Subordinated Notes is not, or within 120 calendar days after the receipt of such opinion will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes. "Investment Company Event" means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of independent counsel to the Company to the effect that there exists a material risk that the Company is or, within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the receipt of such opinion will be, required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. (b) Redemption on or after Fifth Anniversary. On any scheduled Interest Payment Date on or after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, subject to the provisions of Section 4(f) (Regulatory Approvals) hereof, this Subordinated Note shall be redeemable at the option of and by the Company, in whole or in part at an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest, to but excluding the redemption date, but in all cases in a principal amount with integral multiples of $1,000. In addition, on or after the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, subject to Section 4(f) (Regulatory Approvals), the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Subordinated Notes, at any time upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, Tax Event or an Investment Company Event. In the case of any redemption of this Subordinated Note pursuant to this Section 4(b), the Company will give the Noteholder notice of redemption, which notice shall indicate the aggregate principal amount plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon if any, of Subordinated Notes to be redeemed, not less than ten (10) nor more than forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the proposed redemption date. (c) Partial Redemption. If less than the then outstanding principal amount of this Subordinated Note is redeemed, (i) a new Subordinated Note shall be issued representing the unredeemed portion without charge to the applicable Noteholder and (ii) such redemption shall be

------

![](a41-formofnotexconformed016.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16 effected on a pro rata basis as to the Noteholders, and if the Subordinated Notes are represented by Global Subordinated Notes held by DTC and such redemption is processed through DTC, such partial redemptions will be processed through the DTC, in accordance with its rules and procedures, as a Pro Rata Pass-Through Distribution of Principal. For purposes of clarity, upon a partial redemption, a like percentage of the principal amount of every Subordinated Note held by every Noteholder shall be redeemed. (d) No Redemption at Option of Noteholder. This Subordinated Note is not subject to redemption at the option of any Noteholder. (e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and notwithstanding that this Subordinated Note has been called for redemption but has not yet been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the date fixed for redemption interest shall cease to accrue on the portion of this Subordinated Note called for redemption; this Subordinated Note shall no longer be deemed outstanding with respect to the portion called for redemption and all rights with respect to the portion of this Subordinated Note called for redemption shall forthwith on such date fixed for redemption cease and terminate unless the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price, subject only to the right of the Noteholder to receive the amount payable on such redemption, without interest. (f) Regulatory Approvals. Any such redemption shall be subject to receipt of any and all required federal and state regulatory approvals or non-objections, as applicable, including, but not limited to, the consent of the Federal Reserve to the extent then required by applicable law. (g) Purchase and Resale of the Subordinated Notes. Subject to any required federal and state regulatory approvals or non-objections, as the case may be, and the provisions of this Subordinated Note, the Company shall have the right to purchase any of the Subordinated Notes at any time in the open market, private transactions or otherwise. If the Company purchases any Subordinated Notes, it may, in its discretion, hold, resell or cancel any of the purchased Subordinated Notes. 5. Events of Default; Acceleration. Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default": (a) the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company by a court having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization law, now or hereafter in effect of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, and such decree or order will have continued unstayed and in effect for a period of ninety (90) consecutive calendar days; (b) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law, now or hereafter in effect of the United States or any political subdivision thereof, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for relief in an involuntary case or proceeding under any such law; (c) the Company (i) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts as they mature; (ii) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iii) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts

------

![](a41-formofnotexconformed017.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17 as they mature; or (iv) ceases to be a bank holding company or financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended; (d) the failure of the Company to pay any installment of interest on any of the Subordinated Notes as and when the same will become due and payable, and the continuation of such failure for a period of fifteen (15) calendar days; (e) the failure of the Company to pay all or any part of the principal of any of the Subordinated Notes as and when the same will become due and payable; (f) the liquidation of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, "liquidation" does not include any merger, consolidation, sale of equity or assets or reorganization (exclusive of a reorganization in bankruptcy) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); (g) the failure of the Company to perform any other covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in the Subordinated Notes, and the continuation of such failure for a period of thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which notice specifying such failure, stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder and demanding that the Company remedy the same, will have been given, in the manner set forth in Section 22 (Notices), to the Company by a Noteholder; and (h) the default by the Company under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $10,000,000, whether such indebtedness now exists or is created or incurred in the future, which default (i) constitutes a failure to pay any portion of the principal of such indebtedness when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period or (ii) results in such indebtedness becoming due or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it otherwise would have become due and payable without, in the case of clause (i), such indebtedness having been discharged or, in the case of clause (ii), such indebtedness having been discharged or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled. Unless the principal amount of this Subordinated Note already shall have become due and payable, if an Event of Default set forth in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) shall have occurred and be continuing, Noteholders holding not less than twenty percent (20%) in aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company, may declare the principal amount of all outstanding Subordinated Notes to be due and payable immediately and, upon any such declaration, the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable. The Company waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, and all other notices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because the Company will treat the Subordinated Notes as Tier 2 Capital, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b), the Noteholders may not accelerate the Maturity Date of the Subordinated Notes and make the principal of, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Notes, immediately due and payable. The Company, within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt of written notice from any Noteholder of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Subordinated Note, shall mail to all Noteholders, at their addresses shown on the Security Register (as defined in Section 14 (Registration of Transfer, Security Register) below), such written notice of Event of Default,

------

![](a41-formofnotexconformed018.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18 unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice as certified by the Company in writing to the Noteholder or Noteholders who provided written notice of such Event of Default. 6. Failure to Make Payments. In the event of any failure by the Company to make any required payment of principal or interest on this Subordinated Note (and in the case of payment of interest, such failure to pay shall have continued for fifteen (15) calendar days), the Company will, upon demand of the Noteholders, pay to the Noteholders the amount then due and payable on this Subordinated Note for principal and interest (without acceleration of the Subordinated Note in any manner), with interest on the overdue principal and interest at the rate per annum borne by the Subordinated Note, to the extent permitted by applicable law. If the Company fails to pay such amount upon such demand, the Noteholders may, among other things, institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Noteholder, its agents and counsel, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company and collect the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company. Upon the occurrence of a failure by the Company to make any required payment of principal or interest on this Subordinated Note, or an Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured by the Company, or waived by the Noteholders in accordance with Section 17 (Waiver and Consent) hereof, except as may be required by any federal or state bank regulatory agency, the Company shall not: (a) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock; (b) make any payment of principal or interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any indebtedness of the Company that ranks equal with or junior to the Subordinated Notes; or (c) make any payments under any guarantee of indebtedness, which guarantee ranks equal with or junior to the Subordinated Notes, other than (i) any dividends or distributions in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, any class of the Company's common stock; (ii) any declaration of a non-cash dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders' rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto; (iii) as a result of a reclassification of the Company's capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of the Company's capital stock for another class or series of the Company's capital stock; (iv) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged; or (v) purchases of any class of the Company's common stock related to the issuance of common stock or rights under any benefit plans for the Company's directors, officers or employees or any of the Company's dividend reinvestment plans (including, without limitation, any repurchases or acquisitions in connection with the forfeiture of any stock award, cashless or net exercise of any option, or acceptance of common stock in lieu of an award recipient's tax obligation under any equity award) (the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) are collectively referred to as the "Permitted Dividends").

Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Subordinated Note by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall execute and deliver any Subordinated Notes issuable in exchange for such Global Subordinated Note (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary.

(e) The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Subordinated Note, shall be the holder of such Global Subordinated Note for all purposes under this Subordinated Note, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Subordinated Note shall hold such interests pursuant to Applicable Depositary Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a Global Subordinated Note shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary participants. If applicable, the Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes relating to a Global Subordinated Note (including the payment of principal and interest thereon and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial interests therein and the giving of notices) as the sole holder of the Subordinated Note and shall have no obligations to the owners of beneficial interests therein. The Registrar shall have no liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary. (f) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Subordinated Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depositary and/or its participants.

Neither the Company nor any agent of the Company will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Subordinated Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or any agent of the

![](a41-formofnotexconformed027.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27 by any Noteholder of the Subordinated Notes, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law, except as restricted hereby. The rights and remedies provided in this Subordinated Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on the Company in any case shall, in itself, entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Noteholders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by the Noteholders to or of any breach or default by the Company in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of the Company hereunder. Failure on the part of the Noteholders to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by the Noteholders of their rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by the Company. 18.

Such internal control over financial reporting is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company's financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Since the conclusion of the Company's last completed fiscal year, there has not been and there currently is not (i) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the design or operation of its internal control over financial reporting which is reasonably likely to adversely affect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a role in the Company's or the Bank's internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 99.1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT: Yahaira Garcia-Perea Marketing & Corporate Communications Manager 916-823-7214 \| YahairaGarcia-Perea@bankofmarin.com BANK OF MARIN COMPLETES BALANCE SHEET REPOSITIONING SUPPORTED BY $45 MILLION SUBORDINATED DEBT OFFERING RECEIVES INVESTMENT GRADE DEBT RATINGS FROM KBRA NOVATO, CA – November 19, 2025 – Bank of Marin Bancorp (Nasdaq: BMRC), ("the Company") parent company of Bank of Marin, announced today the completion of a balance sheet repositioning of its held- to-maturity ("HTM") securities and a $45 million private placement of its 6.750% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2035 (the "Notes"). Tim Myers, president and chief executive officer of Bank of Marin said, "The successful execution of this strategic initiative further enhances the value of our franchise by meaningfully improving our earnings power, which, in turn, allows us to continue reinvesting in the Company's growth. We took a targeted approach to securities sales, and in combination with our strong capital position, we completed this balance sheet repositioning without issuing additional shares of equity while maintaining our strong capital ratios. We believe this demonstrates our thoughtful approach and ongoing commitment to proactively creating value for our shareholders." The Company reclassified its entire HTM securities portfolio into available-for-sale ("AFS") and will book a fourth quarter 2025 balance sheet adjustment for the difference between the market value and the book value on the date of transfer, adjusted for losses already captured in accumulated other comprehensive income. BMRC estimates this net amount to be approximately $59 million after-tax based on valuations as of October 31, 2025 and our statutory tax rate of 29.56%, which will be a negative adjustment to equity. While BMRC's equity will reflect the loss of the entire HTM transfer, its regulatory capital ratios will only be impacted by realized losses on securities sold. As such, BMRC took a highly targeted approach to securities sales with the goal of maximizing the amount of expected incremental income relative to the impact to our regulatory capital ratios, which is similar to the method applied to prior balance sheet repositionings. BMRC elected to sell approximately 74% of the HTM portfolio, as the remaining 26% was generally earning relatively high book yields, carrying relatively high unrealized losses, or supporting our Community Reinvestment Act goals. Dave Bonaccorso, executive vice president and chief financial officer stated, "As part of this strategic transaction, we sold a book value of $595 million of securities with an average yield of 2.03% at a pre-tax loss of $69.5 million and are reinvesting the proceeds into securities with a lower effective duration than the securities sold. Assuming an estimated reinvestment yield of 4.15% and a 6.75% rate on our subordinated debt, we expect $8.3 million in incremental pre-tax income and an annual earnings per share increase of $0.37 based on our statutory tax rate." On November 5, Kroll Bond Rating Agency, LLC ("KBRA") assigned investment grade ratings of BBB- for Bank of Marin Bancorp subordinated debt and BBB+ for Bank of Marin deposits, citing BMRC's healthy deposit franchise, robust capitalization and strong credit quality.

The Notes will initially bear interest at a fixed interest rate of 6.750% per annum until December 1, 2030, after which time the interest rate will reset quarterly to a floating rate equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the then-current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 335 basis points, until the Notes' maturity on December 1, 2035. The Notes are redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, on or after December 1, 2030, and at any time upon the occurrence of certain events. It is intended that the Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory capital purposes for the Company. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, A Stifel Company, acted as sole placement agent for the Notes offering, and Stuart \| Moore \| Staub served as counsel to the Company. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as counsel for the placement agent.

35 Potential Strategic Measures to Unlock and Optimize the Balance Sheet • We are evaluating a potential repositioning of low-yielding held-to-maturity securities in combination with a capital raise • HTM reclassification and securities sales will be executed in parallel with the planned subordinated debt issuance Expected Results HTM Reclassification1 • Reclassify ~$817mm (market value) of HTM securities to AFS — ~$93mm pre-tax discount (inclusive of ~$7mm after-tax included in AOCI) Securities Sale & Reinvestment1 — ~$593mm of securities sold (realized loss of ~$50mm after-tax) and reinvested at higher yield Subordinated Debt Raise • Raise $40mm of Subordinated Debt2 — $20mm downstreamed to the bank subsidiary • Improve earnings stream • Allow reinvestment into company • Reduce securities portfolio duration • Bolster liquidity position • Supports capital generation 1 Based on estimated sale prices as of 10/31/2025, we expect an approximate $50mm after-tax realized loss. Actual realized losses will depend on sale prices at the time sales occur and could be more or less than currently estimated. 2 The company anticipates issuing $40mm in fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due in 2035 in a private placement transaction; the proceeds of which would be used for general corporate purposes, which may include a potential balance sheet repositioning Potential Balance Sheet Action
