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 $436,800. 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 after-tax 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.

Messrs. Baker and Wanner have been designated as a participant 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 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.

(2)Board fees for Ms. Crosby were discontinued upon her entering into an employment agreement with Fidelity Bank. All other compensation is comprised of Ms. Crosby's salary of $320,000, a bonus of $60,000, and a 401(k) Plan employer contribution of $15,525.

Each director of Fidelity Bank also serves as a director of FB Bancorp. Fidelity Bank pays director fees as set forth above and FB Bancorp pays an annual retainer to non-employee directors of $10,000.

Director Retirement Plan. Fidelity Bank sponsors the Amended and Restated Fidelity Bank Director Retirement Plan (the “Director Retirement Plan”). Eligible directors include the non-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 $320,000. 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. In addition, Fidelity Bank will pay Ms. Crosby 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 her and her dependents immediately before her termination date (whether or not she actually elects COBRA coverage by (ii) 18.

The employment agreement terminates upon Ms. Crosby’s death or disability or her voluntary resignation as Chair of the Board of Directors. Upon termination of employment (other than a termination in connection with a change in control), Ms. Crosby will be required to adhere to one-year non-competition and one-year non-solicitation restrictions set forth in the employment agreement.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards

Whilethe 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 SEC of any periodic reports on Form 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K that discloses material non-public information. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors do not take material non-public information into account when determiningthe 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, 2024.
