Management Change/Compensation (Form 8-K)
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
2026 Continuity Awards:
(e) On March 16, 2026, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") approved the grant of continuity awards (the "2026 Continuity Awards") to the Company's senior management team other than Susan Riel, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, including Eric R. Newell, Evelyn K. Lee, and Ryan A. Riel, each of whom the Company identified as a named executive officer in its most recently filed proxy statement. The Committee determined that, given Ms. Riel's previously announced intention to retire and the ongoing search for her successor, the Continuity Awards would support a stable transition, retain key leaders, and promote continuity of the management team.
The 2026 Continuity Awards comprise two components, a cash award subject to repayment conditions and an equity award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Company's 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") subject to a three-year vesting requirement. The terms and conditions of the 2026 Continuity Awards were developed with input from the Committee's independent compensation consultant.
For the cash component, the 2025 named executive officers (other than Ms. Riel) will receive a lump-sum cash payment on March 27, 2026 in the following amounts: (i) $425,000 to Mr. Newell; (ii) $325,000 to Ms. Lee; and (iii) $425,000 to Mr. Riel. The cash award is subject to repayment if the recipient voluntarily resigns (other than for good reason) or is terminated by the Company for cause prior to June 30, 2027.
For the equity component, Mr. Newell, Ms. Lee, and Mr. Riel each also received on March 16, 2026 (the "Grant Date"), an award of 4,086 RSUs (valued at approximately $100,000 on the Grant Date). The RSUs will vest on the third anniversary of the Grant Date and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and an award agreement (the "RSU Award Agreement") in the form attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The form of Continuity Award Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The above descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms of the RSU Award Agreement and the Continuity Award Agreement.
