#### FB BANCORP, INC.

#### PROXY STATEMENT

#### FOR

#### 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

#### GENERAL INFORMATION
FB Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for Fidelity Bank. In this proxy statement, we may also refer to FB Bancorp, Inc. as "FB Bancorp," the "Company," "we," "our" or "us" and to Fidelity Bank as "Fidelity Bank", "Fidelity" or the "Bank."

We are providing this proxy statement to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and for any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting. We will hold the annual meeting at Fidelity Bank's main office, located at 353 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., local time.

We intend to mail this proxy statement and a proxy card to stockholders of record beginning on or about March 30, 2026.

#### IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS

#### FOR THE STOCKHOLDER MEETING TO BE HELD ON APRIL 29, 2026
This proxy statement is available at *https://annualgeneralmeetings.com/fbla2026*. Also available at this website address is our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which includes our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

#### INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

#### Who May Vote at the Meeting
You are entitled to vote your shares of Company common stock if our records show that you held your shares as of the close of business on February 27, 2026. As of the close of business on that date, a total of 17,821,949 shares of common stock were outstanding. Each share of common stock has one vote.

Our Articles of Incorporation provide that record holders of our common stock who beneficially own, either directly or indirectly, more than 10% of our outstanding shares of common stock are not entitled to any vote with respect to the shares held in excess of the 10% limit.

#### Ownership of Shares
You may own your shares of Company common stock in one or more of the following ways:

• Directly in your name as stockholder of record;

• Indirectly through a broker, bank or other holder of record in "street name;"

• Indirectly through the Fidelity Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP"); or

• Indirectly through the Fidelity Bank 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan").

------

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are the holder of record of those shares, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the holder of record, you have the right to give your proxy directly to us to vote at the annual meeting or you may vote in person at the annual meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank or other holder of record is sending these proxy materials to you. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote by completing a voting instruction form that accompanies your proxy materials. Your broker, bank or other holder of record may allow you to provide voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet. Refer to the instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record that accompanies your proxy materials. If you want to vote your shares of common stock held in street name in person at the annual meeting, you must obtain a written proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other holder who is the record holder of your shares.

If you own shares of common stock indirectly through the ESOP and/or the 401(k) Plan, see "*Participants in the ESOP and 401(k) Plan*" below.

#### Attending the Meeting
Stockholders are invited to attend the annual meeting, which will be held in-person at Fidelity Bank's main office. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the meeting. Examples of proof of ownership are a recent brokerage account statement or a letter from your bank or broker.

#### Quorum and Vote Required
**Quorum.** We will have a quorum and be able to conduct the business of the annual meeting if a majority of the outstanding shares of Company common stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are present at the meeting.

**Votes Required for Proposals.** In voting on the election of directors (Item 1), you may vote in favor of the nominees or withhold your vote as to the nominees. There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors. Directors must be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting. This means that the nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast will be elected up to the maximum number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting. The maximum number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting is three.

In voting on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm (Item 2), you may vote in favor of the proposal, vote against the proposal, or abstain from voting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting is required to approve this proposal.

#### Effect of Not Casting Your Vote
If you hold your shares in street name through a broker, bank or other nominee of record, it is critical that you provide voting instructions if you want your vote to count in the election of directors (Item 1). Your broker, bank or other holder of record does not have discretion to vote your uninstructed shares with respect to this item. Therefore, if you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your broker or other holder of record on how to vote with respect to this item, no votes will be cast on your behalf. These are referred to as "broker non-votes." Your broker, bank or other holder of record, however, does have discretion to vote any uninstructed shares on the ratification of the appointment of the

------

independent registered public accounting firm (Item 2). If you are a stockholder of record and you do not cast your vote, no votes will be cast on your behalf on any of the items of business at the annual meeting.

#### How We Count the Votes
If you return valid proxy instructions or attend the meeting in person, we will count your shares to determine whether there is a quorum, even if you abstain from voting. Broker non-votes also will be counted to determine the existence of a quorum.

In counting votes for the election of directors, votes that are withheld and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

In counting votes on the proposal to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, we will not count abstentions and broker non-votes as votes cast. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the proposal.

#### Voting by Proxy
We are sending you this proxy statement to request that you allow your shares of Company common stock to be represented at the annual meeting by the designated proxies named by the Board of Directors. All shares of common stock represented at the annual meeting by properly executed and dated proxies will be voted according to the instructions indicated on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return a proxy card without giving voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by our Board of Directors.

#### The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote:
**•** **" <u>FOR</u> " the election of all nominees for director; and** 

**•** **" <u>FOR</u> " the ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm.** 

If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the annual meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will use their own best judgment as to how to vote your shares. This would include a motion to adjourn or postpone the annual meeting to solicit additional proxies. If the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned, your common stock may be voted by the persons named in the proxy card on the new meeting date as well, unless you have revoked your proxy. We do not know of any other matters to be presented at the annual meeting.

#### Voting by Internet
Instead of voting by completing and mailing a proxy card, registered stockholders can vote their shares of Company common stock via the Internet. The Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate stockholders' identities, allow stockholders to provide their voting instructions and confirm that their instructions have been recorded properly. Specific instructions for Internet voting appear on the enclosed proxy card. **The deadline for voting via the Internet is 11:59 p.m., Central time, on April 28, 2026.**

------

#### Revoking Your Proxy
Whether you vote by mail or via the Internet, if you are a registered stockholder, unless otherwise noted, you may later revoke your proxy by:

• sending a written statement to that effect to our Corporate Secretary, Lisa Haley;

• submitting a properly signed proxy card with a later date;

• voting via the Internet at a later time (if initially able to vote in that manner) so long as such vote is received by the applicable time and date set forth above for registered stockholders; or

• voting in person at the annual meeting (<u>Note</u>: Attendance at the annual meeting will not, in itself, constitute revocation of your proxy).

If you hold your shares through a bank, broker, trustee or nominee and you have instructed the bank, broker, trustee or nominee to vote your shares, you must follow the directions received from your bank, broker, trustee or nominee to change those instructions.

#### Participants in the ESOP and 401(k) Plan
If you participate in the ESOP, you will receive a voting instruction card that reflects all shares that you may direct the trustees to vote on your behalf under the ESOP. Under the terms of the ESOP, the ESOP trustee votes all shares held by the ESOP, but each participant in the ESOP may direct the trustee how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to his or her account. The ESOP trustee, subject to the exercise of its fiduciary duties, will vote all unallocated shares of common stock held by the ESOP and all allocated shares for which no timely voting instructions are received in the same proportion as shares for which it has received valid voting instructions.

If you participate in the 401(k) Plan, you will receive a voting instruction card that reflects all shares that you may direct the trustees to vote on your behalf under the 401(k) Plan. Under the terms of the 401(k) Plan, you may direct the 401(k) Plan trustee how to vote the shares allocated to your account. If the 401(k) Plan trustee does not receive your voting instructions, the 401(k) Plan trustee will be instructed to vote your shares in the same proportion as the voting instructions received from other 401(k) Plan participants.

#### The deadline for returning your voting instruction card(s) is April 22, 2026.

------

#### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

#### General
The Company periodically reviews its corporate governance policies and procedures to ensure that it meets the highest standards of ethical conduct, reports results with accuracy and transparency and fully complies with the laws, rules and regulations that govern its operations. As part of this periodic corporate governance review, the Board of Directors reviews and adopts best corporate governance policies and practices for the Company.

#### Director Independence
Because the Company is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, we refer to the definition of "independent director" contained in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market when determining the independence of our directors. All our directors are considered independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, except for Katherine A. Crosby and Christopher S. Ferris because each currently serves as an executive officer of the Company and Fidelity Bank. In determining the independence of directors, the Board of Directors has considered transactions, relationships and arrangements between the Company and its directors that are not required to be disclosed in this proxy statement under the heading *"Other Information Relating to Directors and Executive Officers – Transactions with Related Persons."*

#### Board Leadership Structure and Board's Role in Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors has determined that the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and of President and Chief Executive Officer enhances Board independence and oversight. Moreover, the separation of those offices allows the President and Chief Executive Officer to better focus on his responsibilities of managing the daily operations of the Company and expanding and strengthening the Company's franchise while allowing the Chairman of the Board to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. Consistent with this determination, Katherine A. Crosby serves as Chairman of the Board and Christopher S. Ferris serves as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face several risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the daily management of risks the Company faces, while the Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. Senior management also attends Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board of Directors on risk management and any other matters.

------

#### Committees of the Board of Directors
The following table identifies the Company's standing committees and their members. The members of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee are considered independent according to the relevant listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The charter of each committee is available in the Investors Relations section of Fidelity's website *(www.bankwithfidelity.com)*.

**Audit Committee.** The Audit Committee is established according to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the independent registered public accounting firm and management to review accounting, auditing, internal control structure and financial reporting matters. The Board of Directors has determined that Mahlon D. Sanford qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report of the Audit Committee required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission is included in this proxy statement. See *"Report of the Audit Committee."*

**Compensation Committee.** The Compensation Committee approves the compensation objectives for the Company and Fidelity, establishes the compensation for the Company's and Fidelity's senior management and conducts the performance review of the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee reviews all components of compensation, including salaries, cash incentive plans, long-term incentive plans and various employee benefit matters. The Committee also assists the Board of Directors in evaluating potential candidates for executive positions.

**Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee.** The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board of Directors in identifying individuals qualified to become Board members and recommending director nominees for the next annual meeting and for each committee to the Board of Directors. This Committee also provides guidance for implementing policies and practices relating to corporate governance, including procedures for implementation and monitoring adherence to corporate governance guidelines, and leads the Board of Directors in its annual review of the Board's performance.

**Minimum Qualifications for Director Nominees.** The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a set of criteria that it considers when it selects individuals to be nominated for election to the Board of Directors. A candidate must meet the eligibility requirements set forth in our Bylaws, which include a requirement that the candidate had not been subject to certain criminal or regulatory actions, a residency requirement, and an age limitation. A candidate also must meet any qualification requirements set forth in any Board of Directors or committee governing documents.

------

If a candidate is deemed eligible for election to the Board of Directors, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will then evaluate the following criteria in selecting nominees:

• contributions to the range of talent, skill and expertise of the Board of Directors;

• financial, regulatory and business experience, knowledge of the banking and financial service industries, familiarity with the operations of public companies and ability to read and understand financial statements;

• familiarity with our market area and participation in and ties to local businesses and local civic, charitable and religious organizations;

• personal and professional integrity, honesty and reputation;

• the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders and the best interests of the Company;

• the ability to devote sufficient time and energy to the performance of his or her duties; and

• independence, as that term is defined under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission and stock exchange listing criteria.

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will also consider any other factors it deems relevant, including diversity of experience, competition, size of the Board of Directors and regulatory disclosure obligations.

When nominating an existing director for re-election to the Board of Directors, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider and review an existing director's attendance and performance at Board meetings and at meetings of committees on which he serves; length of Board service; the experience, skills and contributions that the existing director brings to the Board; and independence.

**Director Nomination Process.** For purposes of identifying nominees for the Board of Directors, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee relies on personal contacts of the committee members and other members of the Board of Directors, as well as its knowledge of members of the communities Fidelity serves. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will also consider director candidates recommended by stockholders according to the policy and procedures set forth below. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee has not used an independent search firm to identify nominees.

In evaluating potential nominees, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee determines whether the candidate is eligible and qualified for service on the Board of Directors by evaluating the candidate under the criteria set forth above. If such individual fulfills these criteria, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will conduct a check of the individual's background and interview the candidate to further assess the qualities of the prospective nominee and the contributions he or she would make to the Board of Directors.

**Consideration of Director Candidates Recommended by Stockholders.** The policy of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is to consider director candidates recommended by stockholders who appear to be qualified to serve on the Board of Directors. The Nominating/Corporate

------

Governance Committee may choose not to consider an unsolicited recommendation if no vacancy exists on the Board of Directors and the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee does not perceive a need to increase the size of the Board of Directors. To avoid the unnecessary use of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee's resources, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider only those director candidates recommended in accordance with the procedures set forth below.

**Procedures to be Followed by Stockholders.** To submit a recommendation of a director candidate to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, a stockholder should submit the following information in writing, addressed to the Chairman of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, care of the Corporate Secretary, at our main office address:

• A statement that the writer is a stockholder and is proposing a candidate for consideration by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee;

• The name and address of the stockholder as they appear on the Company's books, and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made;

• The class or series and number of shares of Company common stock that are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner;

• A description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder;

• A representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the nominee named in the stockholder's notice;

• The name, age, personal and business address of the candidate, the principal occupation or employment of the candidate;

• The candidate's written consent to serve as a director;

• A statement of the candidate's business and educational experience and all other information relating to such person that would indicate such person's qualification to serve on the Board of Directors; and

• Such other information regarding the candidate or the stockholder as would be required to be included in the Company's proxy statement pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

For a director candidate to be considered for nomination at an annual meeting of stockholders, the recommendation must be received by the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee at least 120 calendar days before the date on which the proxy statement for the previous year's annual meeting was released to stockholders, advanced by one year.

#### Board and Committee Meetings
The business of the Company and Fidelity Bank is conducted through meetings and activities of their respective Board of Directors and committees. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors and Fidelity Bank's Board of Directors held 13 joint meetings. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Boards of Directors and of the meetings of the committees on which he or she served.

------

Director Attendance at Annual Meeting

The Board of Directors encourages all directors to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. All Board members attended our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

#### Codes of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Officers and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Both are designed to ensure that our directors and employees meet the highest standards of ethical conduct. The Code of Ethics for Senior Officers, which applies to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, addresses conflicts of interest, the treatment of confidential information, and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all employees and directors, addresses conflicts of interest, the treatment of confidential information, general employee conduct and compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. In addition, both codes are designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct, the avoidance of conflicts of interest, full and accurate disclosure and compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Code of Ethics for Senior Officers and the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available in the Investors Relations section of the Company's website *(www.bankwithfidelity.com)*.

#### Anti-Hedging Policy
The Company has adopted a policy that prohibits directors, officers and employees of the Company or the Bank, and their related persons, from purchasing or selling, or offering to purchase or offering to sell, derivative securities relating to the Company's common stock, whether or not issued by the Company, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company's common stock.

#### Insider Trading Policy
Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy, which is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, that governs the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of the Company's securities by our executive officers, directors, and employees and that is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules, and regulations and Nasdaq listing standards. Our Insider Trading Policy prohibits the Company's executive officers, directors, and employees from engaging in any short sales, put options and call options.

#### REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Company's management is responsible for the Company's internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements and issuing an opinion on the conformity of the financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Audit Committee oversees the Company's internal controls and financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated

------

financial statements with management and with the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) Auditing Standard No. 1301, *Communications with Audit Committees*, which include the quality, and not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the firm's independence from the Company and its management. In concluding that the independent registered public accounting firm is independent, the Audit Committee considered, among other factors, whether the non-audit services provided by the firm were compatible with its independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and the overall quality of its financial reporting process.

In performing these functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, and of the independent registered public accounting firm who, in their report, express an opinion on the conformity of the consolidated financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Audit Committee's oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal control over financial reporting designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's considerations and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm do not assure that the consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, that the audit of the consolidated financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or that the independent registered public accounting firm is in fact "independent."

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved the recommendation, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has appointed, subject to stockholder ratification, EisnerAmper LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2026.

(1) Includes annual fee for non-employee directors of $65,000 and a fee of $500 per meeting chaired by the Chairs of the Compensation, Audit, Corporate Governance, Risk, and Credit Oversight Committees.

(2) Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value for restricted stock awards granted during the fiscal year, computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 718 – Share Based Payment. The amounts were calculated based on the Company's stock price as of the grant date, which was $13.16 per share. See footnotes to the directors and executive officers stock ownership table under *"Stock Ownership"* for the aggregate number of unvested restricted stock award shares held by each director at fiscal year-end. Restricted stock awards vest 20% per year commencing on December 10, 2026, the first anniversary of the grant date.

(3) Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value for stock options granted during the fiscal year, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards. For more information concerning the assumptions used for these calculations, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stock option awards vest 20% per year commencing on December 10, 2026, the first anniversary of the grant date. As of December 31, 2025, each director had an outstanding stock option award for 74,390 shares. The actual realized value of the stock options, if any, will depend on the extent to which the market value of Company common stock exceeds the exercise price of the stock options on the exercise date. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the realized value will be at or near the estimated value disclosed in the table.

(4) All other compensation is comprised of Ms. Crosby's salary of $332,800, a bonus of $50,000, a 401(k) Plan employer contribution of $15,750, and imputed income on life insurance of $1,050. Ms. Crosby's ESOP allocation was $10,655 for the year ended December 31, 2025.

------

employee members of the Board of Directors of Fidelity Bank who were serving as directors prior to March 18, 2020, and Ms. Crosby, who serves as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. Under the Director Retirement Plan, a director who retires after reaching his or her "full vesting date" (*i.e*., the date on which the director has completed at least 20 years of service on the Board of Directors) will receive a monthly benefit of $2,500 for life. A director who has not completed 20 years of service but retires after reaching his or her "partial vesting date" (*i.e*., the date on which the director has completed at least 10 years of service on the Board of Directors) will receive a reduced monthly benefit. The reduced monthly benefit equals the normal $2,500 monthly benefit multiplied by a percentage. The percentage equals 50% for directors with ten years of service and an additional 5% for each year of service in excess of ten years of service. A director who terminates service with the Board of Directors prior to completing ten years of service and a director who terminates service with the Board of Directors on account of cause (as described in the Director Retirement Plan) is not entitled to any benefit under the Director Retirement Plan. Directors Ferris and Schexnayder do not participate in the Director Retirement Plan and do not intend to participate in the future.

**Employment Agreement with Katherine A. Crosby.** Fidelity Bank entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Crosby. The initial term of the employment agreement is two years and on each anniversary of the effective date the term automatically renews for one additional year, so that the remaining term is again two years, unless either Fidelity Bank or Ms. Crosby gives notice to the other party of non-renewal. If either party provides the other with notice of non-renewal, the term will become fixed and expire at the end of the second anniversary of the date of the notice of non-renewal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event FB Bancorp or Fidelity Bank enter into a transaction that would constitute a change in control, as defined under the employment agreement, the term will automatically extend and expire no less than two years following the effective date of the change in control.

The employment agreement specifies the base salary of Ms. Crosby, which currently is $332,800. Fidelity Bank may increase, but not decrease, Ms. Crosby's base salary. In addition to base salary, the agreement provides that Ms. Crosby may receive a discretionary bonus. Ms. Crosby is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites offered to employees of Fidelity Bank, and the reimbursement of reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred in the performance of her duties for Fidelity Bank.

Fidelity Bank may terminate Ms. Crosby's employment with or without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), or Ms. Crosby may resign from her employment, at any time with or without good reason (as defined in the employment agreement). Under the employment agreement, in the event Fidelity Bank terminates Ms. Crosby's employment without cause or Ms. Crosby voluntary resigns for good reason (in either case, not in connection with a change in control), Fidelity Bank will pay Ms. Crosby a severance payment equal to 1.5 times her base salary, payable in a lump sum cash payment within thirty (30) days following her date of termination of employment. Ms. Crosby would also receive from Fidelity Bank the pro rata cash bonus expected to be earned for the current year and any other Accrued Obligations (as defined in Section 6 of the employment agreement). In addition, if Ms. Crosby elects COBRA coverage, she will receive an additional lump sum payment equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the monthly cost for continuation coverage under COBRA (as in effect as of her termination date) for group medical, dental and vision coverage for the participant and her dependents immediately before the termination date by (ii) 18.

Under the employment agreement, in the event Fidelity Bank terminates Ms. Crosby's employment without cause or Ms. Crosby voluntary resigns for good reason, in either case, during the term and on or following the effective time of a change in control, Fidelity Bank will pay her a severance payment (in lieu of the payments and benefits described in the previous paragraph) equal to 1.5 times the

------

sum of (i) her base salary in effect as of the date of termination (or at the time the change in control occurs, if higher), plus (ii) the pro rata cash bonus expected to earned for the current year, payable in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of employment.

The employment agreement terminates upon Ms. Crosby's death or disability or her voluntary resignation as Chair of the Board of Directors.

(1) Represents 829 shares allocated to the ESOP for the plan year ending December 31, 2025, at $12.85 per share, the closing price on that date.

**Employment Agreement with Christopher S. Ferris.** Fidelity Bank entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Ferris. The term of the employment agreement is three years and on each anniversary of the effective date extends automatically for one additional year, so that the remaining term is again three years, unless either Fidelity Bank or Mr. Ferris gives notice to the other party of non-renewal. If either party provides the other with notice of non-renewal, the term will become fixed and expire at the end of the third anniversary of the date of the notice of non-renewal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event FB Bancorp or Fidelity Bank enters a transaction that would constitute a change in control, as defined under the employment agreement, the term will automatically extend so that it would expire no less than three years following the effective date of the change in control.

The employment agreement specifies the base salary of Mr. Ferris, which currently is $456,144. Fidelity Bank may increase, but not decrease, Mr. Ferris' base salary. In addition to base salary, the agreement provides that Mr. Ferris may receive a bonus that has objective benchmarks and established target and maximum goals (and corresponding possible payments), all of which are established and approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis. Mr. Ferris may also participate in the Fidelity Bank Deferred Compensation Plan. Mr. Ferris is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, arrangements and perquisites offered to employees and officers of Fidelity Bank and the reimbursement

------

of reasonable travel and other business expenses incurred in the performance of his duties for Fidelity Bank. In addition, Mr. Ferris is entitled to certain additional life and disability insurance benefits from Fidelity Bank.

Fidelity Bank may terminate Mr. Ferris' employment with or without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), or Mr. Ferris may resign from his employment, at any time with or without good reason (as defined in the employment agreement). Under the employment agreement, in the event Fidelity Bank terminates Mr. Ferris' employment without cause or Mr. Ferris voluntary resigns for good reason (in either case, not in connection with a change in control), Fidelity Bank will pay Mr. Ferris a severance payment equal to the base salary he would have received during the remaining term of the employment agreement, payable in a lump sum cash payment within thirty (30) days following his date of termination of employment. In addition, if Mr. Ferris elects COBRA coverage, he will receive an additional lump sum payment equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the monthly cost for continuation coverage under COBRA (as in effect as of his termination date) for group medical, dental and vision coverage for the participant and his dependents immediately before the termination date by (ii) the number of months represented by the remaining term of the employment agreement.

Under the employment agreement, in the event Fidelity Bank terminates Mr. Ferris' employment without cause or Mr. Ferris voluntary resigns for good reason, in either case, during the term on or following the effective time of a change in control, Fidelity Bank will pay him a severance payment (in lieu of the payments and benefits described in the previous paragraph) equal to three times the sum of (i) the executive's base salary in effect as of the date of termination (or during the three preceding years, if higher), plus (ii) the average annual cash bonus paid or earned for the three most recently completed calendar years before the change in control occurs, payable in a lump sum within thirty (30) days of the date of termination of employment. In addition, Fidelity Bank will pay Mr. Ferris a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the monthly cost for continuation coverage under COBRA (as in effect as of the termination date) for group medical, dental and vision coverage for him and his dependents immediately before his termination date (whether or not he actually elects COBRA coverage by (ii) 36.

The employment agreement terminates upon Mr. Ferris' death or disability. Upon termination of employment (other than a termination in connection with a change in control), Mr. Ferris will be required to adhere to one-year non-competition and two-year non-solicitation restrictions set forth in the employment agreement.

**Executive Severance Plan.** Fidelity Bank maintains the Fidelity Bank Executive Severance Plan (the "Severance Plan") to provide severance benefits to designated executives in the event their employment is terminated in certain circumstances, including certain terminations related to a change in control. The Severance Plan is intended to secure the continued services of the designated executives and to ensure their continued dedication to their duties in the event of any threat or occurrence of a change in control.

Under the Severance Plan, a participant whose employment is terminated other than for cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) or voluntary terminates employment for good reason (as defined in the Severance Plan) during the period commencing with an initial public announcement of the agreements or other actions that are expected or intended to result in a change of control (as defined in the Severance Plan) and ending 24 months following the occurrence of the change in control (the "covered period") will receive:

• a lump sum cash payment equal to the participant's pro-rata bonus for the year in which the participant is terminated;

------

• a lump sum cash payment equal to the participant's severance multiple, multiplied by the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the participant's base salary as in effect immediately before the applicable change in control occurred or (y) the participant's base salary as in effect on the participant's termination date and (ii) the participant's target bonus for the year in which the termination date occurs; and

• a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the monthly cost for continuation coverage under COBRA (as in effect as of the participant's termination date) for group medical, dental and vision coverage for the participant and the participant's dependents immediately before the participant's termination date (whether or not the participant actually elects COBRA coverage by (ii) the number of months represented by the participant's severance multiple.

If the severance benefits under the Severance Plan, along with any other payments occurring in connection with a change in control of the company, were to cause the participant to be subject to the excise tax provisions of Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, then the amount of the severance benefits will either be reduced, such that the excise tax would not be applicable, or the participant will be entitled to retain the participant's full severance benefits, whichever results in the better aftertax position to the participant.

Under the Severance Plan, a participant whose employment is terminated other than for cause or voluntarily terminates employment for good reason outside of a covered period relating to a change in control will receive, subject to the participant's execution of a general release of claims:

• a lump sum cash payment equal to the participant's pro-rata bonus for the year in which the participant is terminated;

• a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the participant's severance multiple, multiplied by the participant's base salary as in effect on the participant's termination date (or the date the executive was designated a participant in the plan, if higher); and

• if the participant elects continuation coverage under COBRA, a lump sum cash payment equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the monthly cost for continuation coverage under COBRA (as in effect as of the participant's termination date) for group medical, dental and vision coverage for the participant and the participant's dependents immediately before the participant's termination date by (ii) the number of months represented by the participant's severance multiple.

Todd Wanner and Randall Baker have been designated as participants in the Severance Plan with a severance multiplier of two for a qualifying termination occurring during a covered period related to a change in control and a severance multiplier of two for a qualifying termination outside of a covered period. However, the participation agreements provide that they will not be entitled to any severance benefit outside of the covered period following the third anniversary of the effective date of the Severance Plan.

The Severance Plan also includes a non-disclosure obligation and an obligation not to solicit our employees or customers for a period of 12 months after the date of the participant's termination of employment.

If Fidelity Bank terminates the Severance Plan or terminates an individual's participation under the Severance Plan, the participant will continue to be covered for three years (or through the end of the

------

covered period in connection with a change in control that commenced prior to the termination of the plan, if longer).

**Performance-Based Deferred Compensation Plan.** Fidelity Bank sponsors the Fidelity Bank Performance-Based Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"), for certain executives. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, if a participant achieves the established performance criteria for a fiscal year, Fidelity Bank will credit an award to his or her deferred compensation account under the plan. The performance metrics are set annually by Fidelity Bank and may include both individual and bank performance metrics. If the participant is still employed by Fidelity Bank on the third anniversary of the date the award was granted, the participant will become fully vested in the award and the participant will receive the value of the award plus earnings credited during the three-year vesting period in a single lump sum payment. Awards also become 100% vested in the event of the participant's death or disability and if the participant terminates service within 12 months following a change in control of Fidelity Bank or FB Bancorp.

**401(k) Plan.** Fidelity Bank maintains the Fidelity Bank 401(k) Retirement Plan, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan for eligible employees (the "401(k) Plan"). The named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the same terms as other eligible employees of Fidelity Bank.

Under the 401(k) Plan, a participant may elect to defer, on a pre-tax basis, up to 100% of their eligible compensation. In addition to salary deferral contributions, Fidelity Bank currently makes matching contributions to the plan equal to 100% of a participant's deferrals up to 3% of the participant's compensation, plus 50% of the participant's deferrals over 3% but not exceeding 6% of the participant's compensation. Fidelity Bank may also make discretionary contributions to the plan. A participant is immediately 100% vested in his or her salary deferral contributions and becomes vested in employer contributions at the rate of 20% per year after two years of service, so that the participant will be 100% vested after completing six years of service.

**Employee Stock Ownership Plan.** Fidelity Bank maintains an employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") for eligible employees. The named executive officers are eligible to participate in the ESOP on the same terms as other eligible employees of Fidelity Bank.

The ESOP trustee purchased, on behalf of the ESOP, 8.0% of the total number of shares of FB Bancorp common stock sold in the conversion, which purchase was funded with a loan from FB Bancorp equal to the aggregate purchase price of the common stock.

The trustee holds the shares purchased by the ESOP in an unallocated suspense account, and shares will be released from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as the trustee repays the loan. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants' accounts based on each participant's proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. A participant will vest in his or her account balance based on his or her years of service with Fidelity Bank, at the rate of 20% per year after two years of service, so that the participant is 100% vested after completing six years of service.

#### Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2025
There were no equity awards outstanding to any of the named executive officers as of December 31, 2025.

------

#### Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards
While the Company does not have formal policy or obligation that requires it to grant or award equity-based compensation on specific date, the Compensation Committee and the Board have a historical practice of not granting stock options to executive officers during closed quarterly trading windows as determined under the Company's insider trading policy. Consequently, the Company has not granted, and does not expect to grant, any stock options to any named executive officers within four business days preceding the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of any report on Forms 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K that discloses material non-public information. The Compensation Committee and the Board do not take material non-public information into account when determining the timing of equity awards and do not time the disclosure of material non-public information in order to impact the value of executive compensation.

The Company did not grant any stock options to its executive officers, including the named executive officers, during the year ended December 31, 2025.

#### OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

#### Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of any registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of the reports we have received and of written representations provided to us by the individuals required to file the reports, we believe that each executive officer, director and greater than 10% beneficial owner has complied with applicable reporting requirements for transactions in Company common stock during the year ended December 31, 2025.

#### Transactions with Related Persons
**Loans and Extensions of Credit.** Federal law generally prohibits publicly traded companies from making loans to their executive officers and directors but contains a specific exemption from the prohibition for loans made by federally insured financial institutions, such as Fidelity Bank, to their executive officers and directors that comply with federal banking regulations. Fidelity Bank has a policy that extensions of credit will be granted to its executive officers and directors only in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms as those available to the general public and that do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or presenting other unfavorable terms.

In accordance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, any transactions that would be required to be reported under this section of this Prospectus must be reviewed by our audit committee or another independent body of the Board of Directors. In addition, any transaction with a director is reviewed by and subject to approval of the members of the Board of Directors who are not directly involved in the proposed transaction to confirm that the transaction is on terms that are no less favorable as those that would be available to us from an unrelated party through an arms' length transaction.

**Other Transactions.** There were no transactions with related persons during the 2025 fiscal year.

#### SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS
The Company must receive proposals that shareholders seek to include in the proxy statement for its next annual meeting no later than April 29, 2026. If next year's annual meeting is held on a date that is more than 30 calendar days from April 29, 2026, a shareholder proposal must be received by a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy solicitation materials for such annual meeting. Any shareholder proposals will be subject to the requirements of the proxy rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14a-19, a stockholder intending to engage in a director election contest with respect to the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026 must give the Company notice of its intent to solicit proxies by providing the name(s) of its nominee(s) and certain other information at least 60 calendar days before the anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting. If next year's annual meeting is held on a date that is more than 30 calendar days from April 29, 2026, then notice must be given by the later of 60 calendar days before the date of the annual meeting or the 10<sup>th</sup> calendar day following the day on which the Company first makes public announcement of the date of the annual meeting.

In addition to the requirement set forth under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 14a-19, under the Company's Bylaws, for a stockholder to properly bring business before an annual meeting or make nominations for the election of directors, the stockholder must give written notice to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred (100) days before the anniversary of the prior year's annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days before the anniversary of the prior year's annual meeting of stockholders, such written notice shall be timely only if delivered or mailed to and received by the Corporate Secretary at the principal executive office no earlier than the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is first made and not later than the 10<sup>th</sup> day following the earlier of the day notice of the meeting was mailed to stockholders or such public disclosure was made. Such written notice must also contain the information specified in our Bylaws. A copy of the Bylaws may be obtained by contacting our Corporate Secretary.

#### STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS
Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors or an individual director should do so in writing to FB Bancorp, Inc., 353 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130. Communications regarding financial or accounting policies may be made, in writing, to the Chair of the Audit Committee, at the same address. All other communications should be sent in writing to the attention of the Chair of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee at the same address.

#### MISCELLANEOUS
The Company will pay the cost of this proxy solicitation and will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses they incur in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of Company common stock. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, our directors, officers and regular employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone without receiving additional compensation.

The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, accompanies this proxy statement. Any stockholder who has not received a copy of the Form 10-K may obtain one by writing to our Corporate Secretary or by accessing a copy online. See "*Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholder Meeting to be Held on April 29, 2026*."

------

The Form 10-K is not to be treated as part of the proxy solicitation material or as having been incorporated in this proxy statement by reference.

If you and others who share your address own your shares of Company common stock in "street name," your broker or other holder of record may be sending only one annual report and proxy statement to your address. This practice, known as "householding," is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, if a stockholder residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate annual report or proxy statement in the future, the stockholder should contact the broker or other holder of record. If you own your shares in "street name" and are receiving multiple copies of our annual report and proxy statement, you can request householding by contacting your broker or other holder of record.

Please vote by marking, signing, dating and promptly returning a proxy card or by voting via the Internet.
