**Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

On September 12, 2025, the Compensation Committee (the "***Committee***") of the Board of Directors of FB Financial Corporation ("***FB Financial***"), the parent company of FirstBank (the "***Bank***"), approved the realignment of certain management responsibilities, including for certain named executive officers, in each case effective October 1, 2025. Michael M. Mettee has been named Chief Operating Officer, in addition to his role as Chief Financial Officer, and Travis K. Edmondson has been named Chief Credit Officer and will transition from his role of Chief Banking Officer.

Mr. Mettee, age 45, has served as the Chief Financial Officer of FB Financial since 2020 and joined the Bank in 2012 as the Director of Capital Markets and managed the interest rate risk for the Bank. He subsequently was Chief Financial Officer of Banking, a position he held before being promoted to Chief Financial Officer of FB Financial. In addition to his current responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mettee will manage Metro and Community markets, Commercial, Retail, Wealth, Credit and Customer Experience for FirstBank across 93 branches in five states. Prior to joining the Bank, Mr. Mettee spent time at regional banks managing various aspects of finance including budgeting and forecasting processes, pricing and asset liability products, financial reporting and capital markets. There are no actual or proposed transactions between Mr. Mettee or any of his immediate family members and FB Financial that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in connection with his appointment as Chief Operating Officer of FB Financial.

In connection with these changes, FB Financial and the Bank entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with each of Messrs. Mettee and Edmondson, effective October 1, 2025 (the "***Amended and Restated Employment Agreements***") to amend their prior employment agreements with FB Financial and the Bank dated as of February 23, 2024 (the "***Prior Agreements***") to reflect their new positions and adjustments to compensation commensurate with such new positions, including a 12.7% increase to Mr. Mettee's total direct compensation. The material terms of the Prior Agreements are included in FB Financial's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2025. Mr. Edmondson will also be eligible to receive a retention bonus equal to approximately one times his base salary, payable on or before January 31, 2026, subject to his continued employment date on such date. Except as described herein, the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements made no other material changes to the Prior Agreements.

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreements, which will be filed as an exhibit to the FB Financial's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2025.
