The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on February 28, 2025 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof (the “Record Date”). Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 12,458,981 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The holders of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record upon each matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.
Proxies
If you are the record holder of your shares (i.e., you hold your shares in your own name with our transfer agent, Computershare, as opposed to through a bank, broker or other nominee), you may vote at the Annual Meeting by means of remote communication or by proxy. Proxies may be delivered electronically via the Internet, by telephone, or in writing by mail. If you intend to deliver a proxy electronically or by phone, you may do so by following the instructions included with your proxy card.
If you hold your shares in “street name,” such as in a stock brokerage account or through a bank or other nominee, such bank, broker or other nominee should provide you with these proxy materials, including a voting instruction card. If you hold your shares in “street name” and have not received these proxy materials, including a voting instruction card, from your bank, broker or other nominee, please contact the institution that holds your shares. As a street name shareholder, you may also be eligible to vote your shares via the Internet or by telephone by following the voting instructions provided by the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares, using either the Internet address or the toll-free telephone number provided on the voting instruction card (if the bank, broker or other nominee provides these voting methods). Otherwise, please complete, sign and date the voting instruction card and return it promptly.
If you vote electronically or by telephone and you properly follow the instructions included with your proxy card by no later than the deadline indicated in such instructions or if you vote by mail and you return to the Company the enclosed proxy card properly executed in time to be voted at the Annual Meeting, then the shares represented by your proxy, regardless of the method of delivery, will be voted in accordance with your voting instructions, unless you subsequently revoke your proxy as further explained below.
If you properly deliver your proxy without including any instructions as to how your proxy should be voted, then your proxy will be voted as follows: (1) “FOR” the election of Kenneth S. Ansin, George L. Duncan, Jacqueline F. Moloney, Michael T. Putziger, Carol L. Reid and Nickolas Stavropoulos, as the six (6) nominees of the Board of Directors, as Directors of the Company, each to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, death or removal from office; (2) “FOR” the Say on Pay Proposal; (3) “FOR” the ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of RSM US LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025; and (4) in such manner as the proxy holders decide on such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.
The presence of a shareholder at the Annual Meeting by means of remote communication will not automatically revoke a shareholder’s proxy. A shareholder may, however, revoke a proxy at any time before such proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation,
by delivering to the Company a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by properly delivering a proxy electronically or by telephone at a later date. All written notices of revocation and other written communications with respect to revocation of proxies in connection with the Annual Meeting should be addressed as follows: Enterprise Bancorp, Inc., 222 Merrimack Street, Lowell, Massachusetts 01852, Attention: John A. Koutsos, Secretary.
It is not anticipated that any matters other than those set forth in Proposals One, Two, and Three will be brought before the Annual Meeting. The Company has not received any proper proposals from its shareholders to be included in this Proxy Statement or otherwise brought before the Annual Meeting. Please see the additional information under the heading “Shareholder Proposals” on page 59 of this Proxy Statement, below, for a description of the requirements that must be satisfied for any Director nomination or other shareholder proposal, which is not otherwise included in this Proxy Statement, to be presented by any shareholder at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote upon such matters in their discretion in accordance with their best judgment.
Proxies may be solicited personally or by mail, telephone, fax or e-mail by officers, Directors and employees of the Company, none of whom will be specially compensated for such solicitation activities. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons, and the Company will reimburse such persons for their reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with that solicitation. The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company.
Quorum; Vote Required
The presence, by means of remote communication or by proxy, of at least a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of business. Abstentions and withheld votes, and as long as there is one routine matter to be voted on at the meeting, such as the ratification of appointment of RSM US, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025 (Proposal Three), broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
The number of affirmative votes required for approval of the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting is as follows:
•Proposal One - Election of Class of Directors
Each Director is required to be elected by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present, by means of remote communication, or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, the maximum number of Directors to be elected is six (6).
•Proposal Two - Approval of the Say on Pay Proposal
The Say on Pay Proposal will be approved on a non-binding advisory basis if the votes cast by shareholders present, by means of remote communication, or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting favoring the Say on Pay Proposal exceed the votes cast by shareholders present, by means of remote communication, or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting opposing the Say on Pay Proposal.
•Proposal Three - Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025 requires that the votes cast by shareholders present, by means of remote communication, or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting
favoring the ratification exceed the votes cast by shareholders present, by means of remote communication, or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting opposing the ratification.
In voting for the election of Directors, you may vote “FOR” all nominees or “AGAINST” all nominees or only certain specified nominees or you may “ABSTAIN” from voting on the matter. Under Massachusetts law, an abstention is not considered a vote cast at a shareholder meeting and, consequently, abstentions will have no effect on the voting for this Proposal One.
In voting for the Say on Pay Proposal, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or you may “ABSTAIN” from voting on the matter. Under Massachusetts law, an abstention is not considered a vote cast at a shareholder meeting and, consequently, abstentions will have no effect on the voting for this Proposal Two.
In voting for the ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2025, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” such ratification or you may “ABSTAIN” from voting on the matter. Under Massachusetts law, an abstention is not considered a vote cast at a shareholder meeting and, consequently, abstentions will have no effect on the voting for this Proposal Three.
Under existing stock exchange rules, banks, brokers, or other nominees may vote shares held for a customer in street name on matters that are considered to be “routine” even if they have not received voting instructions from their clients. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker, or other nominee has not received voting instructions from a customer and does not vote the customer’s shares either because the matter is not considered routine or because the bank, broker or other nominee does not exercise its prerogative to vote even if the matter is considered routine.
Proposals One and Two, namely the election of Directors and the Say on Pay Proposal, are not considered “routine” matters, which means that if your shares are held in street name, your bank, broker, or other nominee may not vote your shares on this matter unless you provide timely instructions for such voting. Broker non-votes will not be deemed votes cast at the Annual Meeting for Proposals One and Two and as such, will have no effect on the voting for Proposals One and Two. It is, therefore, important that you vote your shares.
Proposal Three, namely the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, is considered a “routine” matter, which means that if your shares are held in street name, your bank, broker, or other nominee may vote your shares on this matter in its sole discretion if you do not provide timely instructions for voting your shares.
The Directors and executive officers of the Company have indicated that they intend to vote all shares of Common Stock that they are entitled to vote “FOR” Proposals One, Two and Three. On the Record Date, the Directors and executive officers of the Company in the aggregate had the right to vote 2,635,105 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 21.15% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date.
PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF CLASS OF DIRECTORS
The Company’s Second Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”) provide that the number of Directors shall be set by a majority vote of the entire Board of Directors. Currently, the number of Directors for the Company is set at 17. Under the Company’s Restated Articles of Organization, as amended, and By-Laws,
this number is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the Directors in each class serving a term of three years and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal from office. As the term of one class expires, a successor class is elected at the annual meeting of shareholders for that year.
At the Annual Meeting, there are six (6) individuals to be elected as Directors of the Company for a three year term to serve until the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal from office. Upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, the full Board of Directors nominated each of Kenneth S. Ansin, George L. Duncan, Jacqueline F. Moloney, Michael T. Putziger, Carol L. Reid and Nickolas Stavropoulos, for election as a Director of the Company for a three-year term to serve until the 2028 annual meeting of shareholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation, death or removal from office.
The Board of Directors believes that all of the above-listed nominees will stand for election and will serve as a Director of the Company, if elected. However, if any nominee fails to stand for election or is unable or refuses to accept election, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may recommend. Alternatively, in lieu of designating a substitute, the Board of Directors may reduce the number of Directors of the Company.

PROPOSAL TWO
NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) the Company is providing shareholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the Company’s compensation program for our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement by voting for or against the resolution set forth below.
At the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of shareholders, over 81% of the shares of Common Stock were cast in support of the Company’s proposal to change the frequency of the Say on Pay proposal to be held on an annual basis. Accordingly, beginning in 2021, the Company has included the Say on Pay proposal in its proxy statement on an annual basis.
Your vote on this Say on Pay Proposal is strictly advisory in nature and is not binding in any way on the Company, the Board of Directors or the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation and Human Resources Committee”). Nonetheless, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee will review the results of the voting, take into account such results when considering future executive compensation arrangements and otherwise making recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to such matters.
At the 2024 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, over 96% of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting were voted in support of the Company's compensation of its named executive officers. The Company believes that its executive compensation program furthers the interests of its shareholders by providing proper incentives to its senior management to achieve both long-term and short-term goals without taking unnecessary or excessive risks that could threaten the Company’s financial condition or prospects. The objectives and design of the Company's compensation program for the named executive officers listed under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Overview", including the different components of compensation and the rationale for each component, are described in detail under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” at pages 26-33 of this Proxy Statement, below. Shareholders are urged to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, the accompanying compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure in this Proxy Statement, which more thoroughly discuss the Company’s compensation policies and procedures.
Accordingly, the Company is asking shareholders to vote on the following non-binding advisory resolution:
RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. hereby approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, the accompanying compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" this Proposal Two.
PROPOSAL THREE
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) has appointed RSM US LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2025.
While the Company is not required to submit the ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to a vote of shareholders, the Board of Directors considers the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm to be an important matter and is therefore submitting the selection of RSM US LLP for ratification by shareholders as a matter of good corporate practice.
In the event a majority of the votes cast are against the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP, the Audit Committee may consider the vote and the reasons therefor in future decisions of its appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it is determined that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.
Representatives of RSM US LLP are expected to attend the Annual Meeting, by means of remote communication, at which time they will have an opportunity to make a statement if they wish to do so and will be available to answer any appropriate and pertinent questions from shareholders.
The following table sets forth the fees paid or accrued by the Company for professional services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, RSM US LLP, for the years indicated.

Independence of Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has determined that Directors Ansin, Baroni, Clementi, Conway, Cowan, Deschene, Grady, King, Koutsos, Lerner, Moloney, Putziger, Reid, and Stavropoulos were “independent” of the Company’s management as of the date of this Proxy Statement, on the basis of the independence standards contained in Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) of The Nasdaq Stock Market Rules (the “Nasdaq Listing Rules”). Messrs. Duncan, Main and Larochelle, who are all current employees of the Company, were determined not to be independent of the Company.
Board Leadership Structure and the Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
Mr. Duncan, who through December 31, 2006 served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, serves as the Executive Chairman of the Board and Mr. Larochelle, who succeeded John P. Clancy, Jr. upon his retirement in June 2024 from the Boards of Directors and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, serves as the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company. Recognizing the individual roles and responsibilities of the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer the Board of Directors has implemented this structure to enhance strategic oversight and insight, board leadership, and to further align the Board of Directors and management.
The Board of Directors annually appoints a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Lead Director. These Board offices are currently held by Mr. Duncan as Executive Chairman, Mr. Conway as Vice Chairman and Lead Director, and Mr. Koutsos as Secretary. As Lead Director, Mr. Conway presides over executive sessions of the independent Directors of the Company. In addition to these offices, the Board of Directors maintains active committees to which specific risk oversight responsibilities have been delegated by the Board of Directors. Committee chairpersons and members are elected each year by the Board of Directors to a one-year term.
Regular meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees are held to review strategy, policy and results of operations, including discussions of risk. The frequency of meetings is determined by, among other things, strategy, operations and the number and significance of risk matters that are discussed at either the Board or committee meetings. Each committee chairperson is provided an opportunity to present a report to the full Board of Directors at each regularly scheduled Board meeting and is required to provide a full report of past accomplishments and future strategies to the full Board of Directors on an annual basis.
The Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of the Company’s risk management. The Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Executive Vice President-Chief Risk Officer and other members of senior management provide regular reports to the Board on the Company’s management of risk. Additionally, on a semi-annual basis, the Company’s Chief Risk Officer reports to the Board of Directors on the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management program.
Board Self-Assessments
The Board of Directors has committed to regularly assessing its own performance to identify the strengths of the Board of Directors as well as areas in which the Board of Directors may improve performance or focus its attention. The Board of Directors anticipates that the self-assessment processes will occur on an annual basis, at both the full Board-level as well as the committee-level. The purpose of the self-assessment is to improve the functioning of the Board of Directors as a whole, and not to target the performance of any individual director.
The self-evaluation process, which is established by the Corporate Governance Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, involves the completion of annual evaluations for each committee and the full Board of Directors, review and discussion of the results of the evaluations by both the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee and the full Board of Directors and the consideration of actions to address any issues. As a result of the 2024 assessment, the Board of Directors has focused and will continue to focus on managing risks, strategy discussion and development, and improving meeting effectiveness.
The Board of Directors and each of the committees of the Board of Directors conducted their self-assessments in 2024 and will continue to conduct annual self-assessments in the future.
Meetings of Board of Directors and Committees
There were fifteen meetings of the Board of Directors during the year ended December 31, 2024. During such period, each director attended more than 75% in the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of each of the committees of the Board of Directors on which he or she served.
A description of the functions and responsibilities of each committee of the Board of Directors is set forth below.

The Audit Committee meets quarterly with RSM US LLP and management to review our interim financial results, and to discuss various topics and events that may have significant financial impact, before the publication of quarterly earnings news releases.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of Carol Reid, Audit Committee Chair, and Nickolas Stavropoulos who are two of the six (6) independent Directors serving on the Audit Committee, qualifies to serve as an Audit Committee Financial Expert (as such term is defined under applicable SEC rules). The Board of Directors has further determined that Carol Reid, Audit Committee Chair, be designated as the Audit Committee Financial Expert on the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which can be found on the Company’s website (www.enterprisebanking.com).
In determining the independence of the Audit Committee members, the Board of Directors has used, as
required for a company with shares listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, the definition of “independence” contained in Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules as well as the additional independence requirements contained in Section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and has applied such definition and additional criteria consistently to all members of the Audit Committee.

Executive Committee.

Loan Committee. The overall mission of the Loan Committee is to monitor the trends in asset and credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio as well as various other internal and external factors and controls that may impact loan growth, quality, concentration risk and overall credit risk exposure. The Loan Committee reviews information and reports relating to the composition, status, delinquency and classification of consumer, residential, construction and commercial loans within the Bank’s loan portfolio as well as any non-performing and past due loans and/or other real estate owned (“OREO”) assets (i.e., foreclosed property held by the Bank).

In addition, beginning in 2021, any new Directors are paid a New Director Committee Orientation fee of $650 per month for attendance at any and all Committee meetings attended for the duration of the orientation period.

(1) This amount reflects the 2024 annual cash retainer of $23,100 and awards of shares of restricted stock with a grant date value of $28,508 per non-employee Director. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee Directors as part of their 2024 annual retainers generally vest over a two-year period. In 2024, an aggregate of 17,122 shares of restricted stock were granted to non-employee Directors as part of their 2024 annual retainer. All other annual retainers are paid in cash unless the Director has elected to receive shares of Common Stock.
(2) This annual retainer is paid only when the Loan Committee Chairperson is a non-employee Director.
(3) This annual retainer was voted and paid in January 2025.
In 2024, all annual retainers paid in cash were paid in equal monthly installments.
Directors who are also full-time salaried officers of the Bank were not paid for attending Board of Directors or committee meetings in 2024 and did not receive retainers of any kind for their services in any capacity as Directors.
For the year 2024, non-employee Directors had the option to make an irrevocable election (by December 31, 2023) to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of receiving all or a portion of their 2024 compensation in cash. The number of shares issued to non-employee Directors pursuant to this election is based on an average of the quarterly close price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market in 2024. For the year 2024, the Company issued a total of 6,515 shares of Common Stock to seven non-employee Directors at a per share issuance price of $29.24. These shares were issued in January 2025. The Company believes that giving non-employee Directors the option to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash fees and granting to them restricted stock awards with time-vesting requirements further aligns such Directors' interests with those of the Company's shareholders.
However, for the year 2025, and in connection with the previously-announced proposed transaction between the Company and Independent Bank Corp.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified executive officers, who are vital to achieving the financial goals set by the Board of Directors and enhancing long-term value for shareholders, while operating the Company in a safe and sound manner. The Company's executive compensation philosophy provides that total annual compensation levels should:
(1) reflect compensation levels of those found in other banking organizations of comparable asset size, performance and geography;
(2) reflect individual responsibilities, team contribution, team leadership, experience, skill set, teamwork and performance; and
(3) provide incentive to achieve business and financial objectives within reasonable risk parameters.
The Company at least annually assesses total compensation paid to its executive officers. As part of this process, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee has assessed and evaluated the elements of total compensation described below under the 2024 Executive Compensation Program paid to executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, as a group and individually.
Compensation and Human Resources Committee and Independent Consultant Roles
Consistent with our above described philosophy, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee regularly obtains and considers information regarding compensation levels in the Company’s industry through various sources, including compensation surveys conducted by banking industry associations and independent compensation consultants. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee also reviews annually the responsibilities and performance of the Company’s executive officers. Elements of compensation are established with the goal of incentivizing and rewarding the Company's executive officers for individual performance and organizational short- and long-term goals without encouraging excessive risk-taking.
In accordance with the Compensation and Human Resources Committee Charter, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee follows the process outlined under the heading "Role of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee" as described further under Compensation and Human Resources Committee Matters on page 33-34 below.
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee annually engages a compensation consulting firm to review the elements of the Company's executive compensation program and to provide comparative market information on total executive compensation including base salary, incentive cash compensation, and incentive equity compensation for the Compensation and Human Resources Committee's review. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee engaged Pearl Meyer and Partners ("Pearl Meyer") to assess and to conduct a comparative market review of the Company's executive compensation programs and develop the Company's peer group for the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition to general survey data provided by Pearl Meyer, a peer group was developed consisting of publicly traded bank holding companies within the New England region of the United States, including companies located in the states of Maine, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island, predominantly in metropolitan locations, with similar asset size and performance results to the Company and, like the Company, with a loan portfolio substantially consisting of commercial loans, as well as, wealth management business. At the time the peer group was selected, the Company was positioned at approximately the 50th percentile of the peer group in terms of total assets, with total asset size of the peer group ranging from $2.6 billion to $7.9 billion. The information was not gathered to benchmark executive compensation to particular levels within the peer and survey group; rather, it was reviewed to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s total executive compensation.
Working with Pearl Meyer, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee selected the following peer group:
| | | | | |
Univest Financial Corporation | Bar Harbor Bankshares |
Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. | BCB Bancorp, Inc. |
Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation | Peoples Financial Services Corporation |
Financial Institutions, Inc. | First Bank |
CNB Financial Corporation | Orrstown Financial Services, Inc. |
HarborOne Bancorp, Inc. | The First Bancorp, Inc. |
Camden National Corporation | Chemung Financial Corporation |
Mid Penn Bancorp, Inc. | Western New England Bancorp, Inc. |
The First of Long Island Corporation | |
Compensation Elements and Rationale
Executive compensation may include any or a combination of the following components in addition to an executive's base salary: incentive cash compensation, incentive equity awards, supplemental executive retirement benefits, supplemental life insurance benefits, income protection following a termination of employment under various circumstances, including following a change in control of the Company, and other perquisites such as Company-owned automobiles and club memberships for business development purposes. Each of these
components is reviewed, both separately and from a total compensation perspective, and approved by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and the independent members of the Board of Directors on at least an annual basis. The Company believes that by using a combination of these elements it is best able to find an effective balance in motivating each executive to achieve long-term and short-term goals without taking unnecessary or excessive risks that could threaten the Company's financial condition or prospects, thereby enhancing long-term shareholder value. In establishing the components of compensation for each individual executive officer, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee considers the performance and responsibilities of the individual, the executive’s designation or role within the Company, the cost to the Company of the various components of compensation to be provided, the tax and accounting implications in designing the Company's compensation programs, and the support received from the Company’s shareholders in prior non-binding "Say on Pay" advisory votes. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee did not change its approach in 2024 and applied a rationale similar to that used in 2023. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee will continue to consider the outcome of the Company's non-binding "Say on Pay" advisory votes when making future compensation decisions for the Named Executive Officers.
2024 Executive Compensation Program
Base Salary
For the year ending December 31, 2024, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee did not change its approach in determining base salaries for the Named Executive Officers and applied a rationale similar to that used in the prior year. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee determined that the base salaries for Messrs. Lussier and Bullock would increase from 2023 levels, in part, to maintain alignment with the competitive range of base salaries found in the peer group for their positions. Mr. Lussier received two base salary increases in 2024. The first increase of Mr. Lussier's base salary effective March 2024 was from $291,013 to $334,665. The second increase of Mr. Lussier's base salary effective in October 2024 further increased to $351,398. Mr. Bullock's base salary increased from $371,807 to $384,820 in March 2024.
In June 2024, Mr. Clancy retired as Chief Executive Officer and transitioned to a role of common law employee of the Company and the Bank through September 30, 2024, at which time Mr. Clancy retired from employment with the Company and the Bank. At the time of this transition in June 2024, Mr. Clancy's annual base salary changed from $625,944 to $200,000, which was payable through Mr. Clancy's retirement on September 30, 2024.
At the time of Mr. Clancy's retirement as Chief Executive Officer in June 2024, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Larochelle to Chief Executive Officer of the Company. At the time of Mr. Larochelle's appointment as Chief Executive Officer, his base salary was increased to $600,000 to align with the responsibilities of his new role as the principal executive officer of the Company.
In October 2024, Mr. Irish transitioned from his previous role of Chief Operating Officer to a part-time role of Technology and Operations Advisor. At the time of this transition in October 2024, Mr. Irish's base salary changed from $394,045 to $249,600.
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee determined that the base salary for Mr. Duncan would remain unchanged for 2024.
Incentive Compensation (Cash)
The terms of incentive cash compensation for Named Executive Officers are established by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, subject to approval by the independent members of the Board of Directors, on an annual basis. Named Executive Officers are eligible for incentive cash compensation through the Company's Variable Compensation Incentive Plan that is established each year by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. Payments for Named Executive Officers under the Variable Compensation
Incentive Plan for 2024 were determined by various weighted elements of the Company’s performance, including "Income" (as defined below), deposit growth, loan growth, and loan quality. Target incentive payout percentages for Named Executive Officers' base compensation earned under the 2024 Variable Compensation Incentive Plan were 36% for Mr. Duncan, 40% for Mr. Clancy, 50% for Mr. Larochelle, 40% for Mr. Irish, and 35% for each of Mr. Lussier and Mr. Bullock.
The 2024 Variable Compensation Incentive Plan, including the performance factors and levels and relative weightings, are shown in the table below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Performance |
Weight | Threshold | | | | Target | | | Stretch | Level for | Weighted |
Factor | 0% | 25% | 50% | 75% | 100% | 125% | 150% | 200% | 2024 | Results |
Income (1) | 60% | 31.7 | 37.0 | 42.4 | 47.7 | 63.0 | 66.2 | 69.4 | 75.7 | 0.98 | 0.58 |
YTD Average Total Deposits | 15% | 3,875 | 3,934 | 3,992 | 4,050 | 4,085 | 4,120 | 4,156 | 4,226 | 1.75 | 0.26 |
Loan Growth | 15% | 0 | 95 | 190 | 285 | 343 | 400 | 457 | 571 | 1.32 | 0.2 |
Loan Quality (2) | 10% | 1.03 | 0.87 | 0.71 | 0.55 | 0.45 | 0.36 | 0.26 | 0.07 | 0.55 | 0.06 |
Result Payable to Target: 1.10
"Income," as used above, was defined under the 2024 Variable Compensation Incentive Plan as the Company's pre-tax income excluding income taxes, variable compensation plan expense, the provision for credit losses, the change in market value of equity securities (bank portfolio), gains and losses on sales of bonds, and any other non-recurring or non-core operating income or expense such as, but not limited to, gains or losses on other real estate owned, derivatives and bank owned life insurance. Consistent with the terms of the 2024 Variable Compensation Incentive Plan, the "Income" results included the favorable variance in the provision for credit losses applied at 50% and excluded $1.1 million in merger related costs as an extraordinary, non-budgeted item.
In February 2025, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee approved payouts under the 2024 Variable Compensation Incentive Plan for the Named Executive Officers. Mr. Duncan received an actual payout of 39.73%, which resulted in a cash payment of $170,218. Mr. Larochelle earned an actual payout of 55.18%, which resulted in a cash payment of $267,488. Mr. Irish earned an actual payout of 44.14%, which resulted in a cash payment of $161,670. Mr. Lussier earned an actual payout of 38.62%, which resulted in a cash payment of $125,960. Mr. Bullock earned an actual payout of 38.62% which resulted in a cash payment of $147,274.
The 2024 Variable Compensation Incentive Plan states that an employee retiring after the age of 62 is eligible to receive a pro-rata payout to be received within 30 days following the end of the quarter of the participant's retirement. Based on the estimated result payable to target of 1.04, Mr. Clancy received an actual payout of 41.78%, which resulted in a cash payment of $179,042.
Long-Term (Equity) Incentive Compensation
The Company attempts to align the interests of its executives with the long-term interests of shareholders through the granting of equity-based compensation awards, which have historically been in the form of stock options and restricted stock. Equity awards are intended to (1) enhance management's sense of ownership and commitment to the long-term success of the Company, (2) encourage and reward management performance that increases the long-term success and shareholder value of the Company, and (3) attract and retain the senior leadership and management talent the Company needs to be successful. The Compensation and Human
Resources Committee determined that restricted stock will serve as the primary vehicle to be used to achieve these objectives.
In connection with its compensation program, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee evaluates the issuance of equity grants to employees on an annual basis. Historically, equity grants have been considered and made during the first quarter of each calendar year. The total value of restricted stock granted to all employees is determined after considering various factors, including measures on shareholder dilution. The value of restricted stock awards granted to individual employees, including the Named Executive Officers, is also based upon various factors, but is primarily based upon an employee’s level of responsibility and individual performance and contribution, and, with respect to the Named Executive Officers and other senior management, the desired mix of compensation. Restricted stock grants for employees other than the Named Executive Officers and other senior management are subject to the approval of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors. In addition to the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and the approval of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, restricted stock awards granted to the Named Executive Officers and other senior management must also be approved by independent members of the Board of Directors. In all cases, the value of the restricted stock is established based on the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant.
On March 19, 2024, the Company granted to employees a total of 86,831 shares of restricted stock. All shares of restricted stock were granted under the Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. 2016 Stock Incentive Plan. For the Named Executive Officers and certain other specific senior employees, 50% of each individual's restricted stock grant will vest based on the Company reaching specific targets in cumulative earnings per share totals and 50% of each individual's restricted stock grant will vest based on incremental time-based vesting. For the portion of the restricted stock that will vest based on the Company reaching specific targets in cumulative earnings per share totals, those targets are set forth on page 45 below. Specific incremental targets were set to align the Named Executive Officers and other senior management with shareholder interests by requiring earnings targets be met for awards to vest. If such targets are not met by December 31, 2028, unvested shares will be forfeited. The remaining 50% of each individuals restricted stock grant will vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. For all other employees, restricted stock grants will vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes the equity grant vesting schedules are aligned with the Company's long-term performance goals.
The amounts granted to the Named Executive Officers in March 2024 were as follows: 5,565 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Duncan; 7,093 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Clancy; 2,209 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Larochelle; 2,209 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Irish; 2,209 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Lussier; and 2,209 shares of restricted stock to Mr. Bullock.
In addition to the March 2024 equity grant, Mr. Larochelle received two equity grants related to his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On June 5, 2024, Mr. Larochelle received a restricted stock grant valued at $250,000 and on January 2, 2025, Mr. Larochelle received a restricted stock grant valued at $100,000. Both grants are subject to the same time-based vesting terms as the March 2024 restricted stock grant with the first vesting occurring in March 2025.
The value of shares of restricted stock granted to the Named Executive Officers during the year ended December 31, 2024 was considered to be within the competitive ranges for executive management based on the report provided by Pearl Meyer, and the Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes such equity grants meet the Company's objective of executive employee participation in the Company's equity compensation program, aligning the executives' interests with those of the shareholders.
Supplemental Retirement Benefit and Supplemental Life Insurance Benefit
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes that providing a supplemental retirement benefit, which is implemented through salary continuation agreements, a supplemental executive retirement and
deferred compensation benefit, and supplemental life insurance benefits serve as long-term retention tools, as well as provide a reward component to the executive.
The Bank is party to certain salary continuation and supplemental life insurance agreements, including with Mr. Duncan. The terms of Mr. Duncan's salary continuation agreement, and the annual amounts payable to the executive thereunder, are described further at page 52 below. The annual expense incurred by the Company in maintaining this supplemental retirement benefit for the executive equals the annual increase of the present value of the accumulated benefit to be paid to the executive. This amount is included for the executives in the Summary Compensation Table at page 36 below under the heading "Change in Pension Value and Non qualified Deferred Compensation Earnings."
The supplemental life insurance benefit that is payable to Mr. Duncan is included in the amounts shown as payable in the event of death in the table at page 52 below and are specifically referenced in footnote 3 to the table. In 2006, 2015, and 2021 the Company initiated a supplemental life insurance benefit plan for a number of its employees in management positions. Under these plans, the Company has provided supplemental life insurance benefits to the employees, subject to certain restrictions. Messrs. Irish. Larochelle, and Bullock participate in the 2006, 2015, and 2021 plans and Mr. Lussier participates in the Death Benefit Only Life Insurance Benefit Plan effective 2015. The amounts of their supplemental life insurance benefits are included in the amounts shown as payable in the event of death in the table at page 52 below and are specifically referenced in footnote 3 to the table.
In September 2024, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and the Board of Directors approved contributions to the Enterprise Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended ("SERP"), for certain Named Executive Officers, including Messrs. Irish, Lussier, and Bullock. Under the terms of the SERP, Company contributions to the SERP were made in February 2025 for the 2024 SERP plan year in the following amounts for the following individuals: $24,860 for Mr. Irish, $13,860 for Mr. Lussier, and $13,860 for Mr. Bullock. The Named Executive Officers direct the investments of their individual accounts. Messrs. Irish, Lussier, and Bullock's account balances will be paid out, subject to the terms of the SERP, as a lump sum or in monthly installment payments over a period of sixty (60) months following six (6) months after separation from service in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Benefits under the SERP are paid from the Bank's general assets, although the Company also maintains a Rabbi Trust. The Rabbi Trust and the funds held therein are Company assets.
Income Protection and Non-Compete
In addition to the above-noted elements of compensation, Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle have written employment agreements with the Company, which include non-competition restrictions, and Messrs. Irish, Lussier, and Bullock have written change in control/non-competition agreements with the Company. In addition, Mr. Clancy has a written transition services agreement with the Company, which includes a written death, disability, and change in control protection as well as non-competition restrictions. These agreements provide the respective Named Executive Officers with income protection in the event of a termination of his employment under certain circumstances, including following a change in control of the Company. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes these agreements are an important tool in retaining key executives while providing protection to the Company by restricting the executive's ability to compete in the Company's marketplace if he or she were to leave prior to or as a result of any change in control of the Company. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes that the non-competition protection afforded by these agreements is beneficial in the Company's competitive marketplace and that the payment amounts and related conditions thereto contained in the agreements are consistent with reasonable industry standards. The maximum amounts that may be paid to any Named Executive Officer under any of these agreements are limited by automatic “cutback” provisions that ensure payments will not exceed the limits specified under Section 280G of the Code. The terms of these agreements are described at pages 48-51 below and the amounts payable thereunder to the Named Executive Officers under various termination scenarios are included in the table at page 52 below.
Perquisites
In addition to their participation in the Company's general employee benefit plans, as described in footnote 6 of the Summary Compensation Table at page 36 below, the Company provides a Company-owned automobile for the use of Mr. Duncan. Prior to Mr. Clancy's retirement, the Company also provided a Company-owned automobile for Mr. Clancy's use, which was gifted to him upon retirement. The full value of the automobile at the time of retirement is noted in footnote 6 of the Summary Compensation Table at page XX below. The Company also pays dues related to club memberships for business development purposes for Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle. The Company also paid the same dues for Mr. Clancy prior to his retirement. . The Compensation and Human Resources Committee believes that the cost of these additional perquisites is modest for the size of the Company and that providing them is consistent with maintaining a competitive total compensation and benefits package for senior management and for business development purposes.
Policies & Practices
Named Executive Officers and Directors Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Company has established stock ownership guidelines for its Named Executive Officers and directors. The Company believes that the Named Executive Officer and director stock ownership guidelines further strengthen the individual's commitment to the Company's future and further aligns their interests with those of the Company's shareholders. The Company’s Named Executive Officers and directors are required to meet the specific stock ownership guidelines as listed below. The individual will be required to meet the stock ownership guidelines within five years of being hired or promoted to a Named Executive Officer position or elected as a director of the Company or from the implementation date of the guidelines.
| | | | | |
Position | Stock Ownership Guideline |
Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer | Three times base salary at date of calculation |
President | Two times base salary at date of calculation |
Other Named Executive Officers | One time base salary at date of calculation |
Director | Five times total Board of Director cash and equity retainer |
Ownership is calculated on the last business day of the calendar year using the closing price or book value of the Company's common stock, whichever is greater, and includes: shares owned outright individually or as a co-owner with a spouse, including those in the Bank's 401(k) plan self-directed brokerage account or the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan; shares owned but held in trust or in the name of an immediate family member; and unvested restricted shares.
As of December 31, 2024, all directors and Named Executive Officers of the Company met or exceeded the Company's stock ownership guidelines.
Incentive Compensation Recovery and Recoupment Policy
In order to further align management's interests with the interests of the Company's shareholders and support good governance practices, all incentive compensation awards made to officers of the Company with a title of "senior vice president" or a more senior position include a clawback provision. If the Company's reported financial or operating results are determined by the Company to be subject to material negative restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, fraud, or misconduct
(other than a restatement caused by a change in applicable accounting rules or interpretations), the Company may require recoupment of full or partial payouts made under the short and long-term compensation plans to participants with an officer status of senior vice president or above.
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors adopted and implemented an Incentive Award Recoupment Policy, effective as of October 2, 2023 (the “Clawback Policy”), in accordance with Rule 10D-1 promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608. The Clawback Policy applies to current and former executive officers of the Company, including the Named Executive Officers and the Company's "officers" as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will be administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement to correct material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S. federal securities laws, including restatements that correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period, the Clawback Policy provides for the recovery of any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation tied to the performance of the Company and paid to or received by the Company's executive officers. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether an executive officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise cause or contributed to the requirement for a restatement.
Anti-Hedging Policy
The Board of Directors has adopted, as part of the Company's Insider Trading Policy, a policy prohibiting the Company's directors, executive officers and employees from engaging in hedging activities involving the Company's common stock by making an investment to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in the Company's common stock.
COMPENSATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE MATTERS
Role of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors is comprised of five members, all of whom are currently determined to be independent by the Board of Directors. In determining the independence of the members of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, the Board of Directors has used the definition of (i) "independence" contained in Rule 5605(d)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, and (ii) "non-employee directors" within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 16b-3 and has applied these definitions consistently to all members of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. One responsibility of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee is to review the performance of the Executive Chairman and recommend his compensation to the independent members of the Board of Directors for review and approval. The Executive Chairman and Compensation and Human Resources Committee review the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and President and recommend their compensation to the independent members of the Board of Directors for review and approval. The Company's Chief Executive Officer evaluates the performance of the remaining executive officers and recommends their compensation to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee reviews the Chief Executive Officer's recommendations and submits its recommendation to the independent members of the Board of Directors for approval. In March 2024, the independent members of the Board of Directors approved all recommendations presented by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee.
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee has the authority to retain or obtain advice from independent advisors, such as outside legal counsel and consulting firms, as it deems necessary to perform its role. After taking into consideration the factors set forth in Rule 5605(d)(3)(D) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee obtained the services of Pearl Meyer during the year ended
December 31, 2024 to provide market assessment information to the Compensation and Human Resources Committee which is discussed in further detail in the Company's Compensation Discussion and Analysis at pages 26-33 above. Pearl Meyer was paid $72,835 for these services during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee reviewed all factors, as provided by management, for any potential or actual conflicts of interest with Pearl Meyer and the Board of Directors or the Company and determined there were no potential or actual conflicts with the Board of Directors or the Company.
The Compensation and Human Resources Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which can be found on the Company's website (www.enterprisebanking.com). The Compensation and Human Resources Committee annually reviews its charter and recommends any changes to the full Board of Directors. The charter requires the Compensation and Human Resources Committee to meet at least four times every year. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee met 7 times.

Pay Ratio Disclosure for Enterprise Bancorp, Inc.
As required by Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the median annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. Because of the hiring of a new Chief Executive Officer on June 5, 2024, we calculated Chief Executive Officer total compensation as the compensation earned by our former Chief Executive Officer, John P. Clancy, Jr. from January 1, 2024 through June 4, 2024, combined with the compensation earned by our new Chief Executive Officer, Steven R. Larochelle, from June 5, 2024 through December 31, 2024.:
•The 2024 annual total compensation for the median employee of our Company (other than our Chief Executive Officer) was $89,314; and
•The 2024 annual combined total compensation of Messrs. Clancy and Larochelle during their time served as Chief Executive Officer in 2024, was $1,478,158.
Based on this information, the ratio for 2024 of the annual total compensation of the Chief Executive Officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees is 17 to 1.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we completed the following steps to identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees and to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee and Chief Executive Officer:
1.As of October 2, 2024, our employee population consisted of approximately 604 employees, including all full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal employees employed on that date.
2. To find the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, (other than our Chief Executive Officer), we used wages from our payroll records as reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form W-2 for fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In making this determination, we annualized the compensation of full-time and part-time permanent employees who were employed on October 2, 2024 but did not work for us the entire year. No full-time equivalent adjustments were made for part time employees.
3. We identified our median employee using this compensation measure and methodology, which was consistently applied to all our employees included in the calculation.
4. After identifying the median employee, we added together all of the elements of such employee's compensation for the year ended December 31, 2024 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in a median annual total compensation of $89,314. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the same specific median employee that was identified for the year ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 was used, as there were no significant changes in our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that would result in a significant change in this disclosure.
5. With respect to the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, we used the same calculations that is used to report the “Total” column of our Summary Compensation Table for the last completed fiscal year.

AGREEMENTS WITH NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Company and the Bank are parties to employment agreements with Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle, change in control/noncompetition agreements with Messrs. Irish, Lussier, and Bullock and a transition services agreement with Mr. Clancy. The Bank is also a party to a salary continuation agreement with Mr. Duncan and supplemental life insurance agreements with Messrs. Duncan, Clancy, Irish and Lussier.
The employment agreements with Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle are for a fixed term of three years, subject to an automatic “rolling” renewal each year, unless either the Company or the executive provides a notice of non-renewal, in which case the agreement will expire at the end of the then-current term. Each of Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle have a guaranteed minimum base salary under the terms of his employment agreement, $400,000 for Mr. Duncan and $600,000 for Mr. Larochelle. At least annually, these amounts are reviewed for increases by the Board. Additionally, Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle have guaranteed minimum target total direct compensation, including base salary, target incentive bonus opportunity, and equity grant value of $720,000 for Mr. Duncan and $1,150,000 for Mr. Larochelle. Actual total direct compensation will vary based on the Bank’s performance.
The amount of severance payments and benefits, if any, which may be due to any of the named executive officers under any of the agreements referenced above following any form of termination of the executive is summarized generally below and is further quantified in the table at page 52 of this Proxy Statement, below.
Under the employment agreements with Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle, if the executive dies or is terminated at any time as a result of his long-term disability (as defined in the agreement), the executive or his beneficiary will be paid a lump sum equal to his highest annual compensation (as defined in the agreement to include the sum of the executive’s highest annual base salary and highest annual cash bonus paid at any time prior to the date of termination since January 1, 2004). Upon termination for disability, Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle, and each of any eligible dependents will continue to receive health and welfare benefits at no cost, subject to limitations described in the agreement for a period of 18 months or upon the executive’s death, any eligible dependents will continue to receive health and welfare benefits at no cost, subject to limitations described in the agreement; provided, however, that if the executive dies or is terminated as a result of a long-term disability either within three years before or two years after the occurrence of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the agreement), then, in addition to such continuing health and welfare benefits, the executive or executive’s beneficiary will be paid a lump sum equal to three times the executive’s previous highest annual compensation (as defined in the agreement) (such lump sum payment being referred to herein as the “Lump Sum Payment”), subject to reduction for any prior lump sum payment that may have been paid following the termination for death or long-term disability of the executive.
In addition to the foregoing death benefit payable to Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle under their employment agreement their beneficiaries will also be paid the death benefits provided under their supplemental life insurance agreement, the amount of which is included in footnote 3 to the table at page 52 of this Proxy Statement, below.
Under the employment agreements with Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle, if the executive chooses to terminate his employment at any time without good reason, including on or after a specified retirement age (Mr. Duncan has met the specified age, for Mr. Larochelle the specified retirement age is 62), he will be entitled to receive any bonus actually awarded or earned for a prior or current year, but not yet paid as of date of termination and continuing health and welfare benefits for 18 months on the same terms as were available to him as an employee, subject to limitations as described in the agreement, unless the executive chooses to terminate his employment without good reason either within three years before or one year after the occurrence of a change in control, in which case the executive will be paid the Lump Sum Payment.
In addition to the rights provided to Mr. Duncan under his employment agreement, the salary continuation agreement referenced above also provides additional annual compensation benefits payable to Mr. Duncan , subject to acceleration upon a change in control (as defined in the agreement), and became payable to the executive for a 20-year period upon his reaching a specified age (68 for Mr. Duncan, which he reached on June 8, 2008), whether or not the executive retired or remained employed with the Company. The annual amount payable to Mr. Duncan under his salary continuation agreement is $149,500.
Under the employment agreements with Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle, if the Company (including any successor) terminates the executive at any time for cause, whether before or after the occurrence of a change in control, the executive will be entitled to receive any accrued but unpaid compensation and benefits and will not be entitled to receive any severance payments or benefits. However, if the Company (including any successor) terminates the executive at any time without cause, whether before or after the occurrence of a change in control, then the executive will be paid the Lump Sum Payment, be reimbursed for professional outplacement service, and will be entitled to receive continuing health benefits for 18 months at no cost to the executive, subject to limitations as described in the agreement. In connection with the proposed transaction with Independent, the Company and Mr. Larochelle entered into an amendment to his employment agreement that would only become effective as of immediately prior to the closing of the proposed transaction (the “Amendment”). The Amendment
deletes the provisions relating to Mr. Larochelle’s termination in connection with a change in control and instead provides, among other things, that, upon his termination of employment following a change in control (subject to certain bank regulatory limitations), Mr. Larochelle would be paid: (a) earned and accrued but previously unpaid base salary through the date of termination; (b) payment for any vacation days accrued but unused through the date of termination, including all unused unaccrued vacation days through the year in which the termination occurs days; (c) reimbursement of any outstanding expenses incurred prior to the date of termination; (d) any bonus actually awarded or earned for a prior year or current year, but not yet paid as of the date of termination; (e) any vested benefits under any employee benefit plans, together with any other non-severance related compensation and benefits; and (f) a one-time lump sum payment in an amount equal to $2,782,974.96, subject to adjustment, payable within thirty (30) days following his termination of employment with the Company, subject to Mr. Larochelle’s timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims. In addition, the Amendment provides that Mr. Larochelle will abide by certain non-competition restrictive covenants for the term of his employment and a period of twenty-four (24) months after the termination of his employment for any reason.
Under the employment agreements with Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle, if the executive chooses to terminate his employment at any time for good reason (as defined in the agreement to include, among several other reasons, a 10% reduction in the executive’s base salary, annual target incentive, or annual equity grant value or material diminution in his authority, duties or responsibilities), whether before or after the occurrence of a change in control, then the executive will be paid the Lump Sum Payment, be reimbursed for professional outplacement service, and will be entitled to receive continuing health benefits for 18 months at no cost to the executive, subject to limitations as described in the agreement.
The employment agreements with Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle also provide that the parties may agree to a flexible work arrangement for the remaining term of the agreement. Under the terms of such arrangement, if executive reduces his work schedule below 80% of full-time status, the parties may agree to modify the executive’s position, time and effort, and compensation and the Bank will continue to provide the executive with full benefits, subject to the limitations described in the agreement or equivalent cash compensation considering state and federal income taxes.
Under the employment agreements with Messrs. Duncan and Larochelle, the executive is subject to confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions for up to one year after the termination of his employment for any reason if the termination occurs before a change in control. The non-compete restrictions do not apply following any termination of the executive’s employment that occurs after a change in control, and any non-compete restrictions that may be in effect at the time of a change in control automatically expire upon such change in control. If the executive breaches any applicable confidentiality, non-compete or non-solicitation covenants, then the Company may enforce a right to recoup prior severance payments made to the executive.
Under the terms of the change in control/noncompetition agreements with Messrs. Irish, Lussier, and Bullock, the executive will be paid a lump sum equal to 1.5 times his previous highest annual compensation (as defined in the agreement to include the sum of the executive’s highest annual base salary and highest annual cash bonus paid within the most recent three years prior to the date of termination), together with certain other specified payments and benefits, including continuation of health and welfare benefits for 18 months on the same terms as were available to the executive as of the date of termination or, if more favorable, as of the date of the change in control, if the executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, whether at the initiative of the Company or of the executive and whether or not for cause, within two years after the date of a change in control of the Company. If Mr. Irish’s, Mr. Lussier's, or Mr. Bullock's employment is terminated for any reason within one year prior to the occurrence of a change in control, other than for cause, then he is entitled to receive all of the payments and benefits that he would have been entitled to receive if such termination had occurred within two years after the date of such change in control.
Messrs. Irish, Lussier, and Bullock are also subject to confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions for one year following a termination of employment for any reason prior to a change in control (and
assuming a change in control does not occur within this one-year period). If Mr. Irish's, Mr. Lussier's, or Mr. Bullock's termination in the absence of any change in control is initiated by the Company for any reason other than for cause, then he will be paid a lump sum equal to 75% of the sum of his then-current annual base salary and the amount of any annual incentive or other bonus paid to him with respect to the most recently completed fiscal year prior to the date of termination, subject to recoupment by the Company if he breaches any of the applicable confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicitation covenants.
Mr. Clancy became subject to a Transition Services Agreement with the Company in connection with his resignation as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Bank, effective June 5, 2024 (the “Transition Services Agreement”). The Transition Services Agreement replaced Mr. Clancy’s prior employment agreement with the Company, except for certain continuing rights and obligations of the parties as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement. In consideration for his services rendered to the Company and the Bank, Mr. Clancy was awarded an annual base salary of $200,000, beginning June 5, 2024 through September 30, 2024 (the “Termination Date”). Mr. Clancy continued to participate in all employee benefit arrangements sponsored by the Company and/or the Bank, subject to the Company’s and/or the Bank’s discretion. Upon the Termination Date, Mr. Clancy received a lump sum cash payment equal to 18 months of premium payments for continuation coverage under COBRA and Medicare supplements, and a lump sum cash payment for accrued and unused vacation through June 5, 2024.
The Transition Services Agreement also provided that the change in control provisions of Mr. Clancy’s employment agreement would continue to apply such that if a change in control is consummated within the 36-month period from the Termination Date, then the benefits contained therein will be due, owing and payable to Mr. Clancy upon consummation of such change in control, subject to certain tax limitations.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls, the financial reporting process and compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for auditing whether the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal controls over financial reporting and for issuing reports thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities also include resolving any disagreements that may arise between management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of financial reporting, oversight of the Company’s Internal Audit function, oversight of management’s efforts to manage third party risk, the oversight of compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements, and oversight of procedures established for the receipt, retention and treatment of any complaints that may be received by the Company regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of the Company of any concerns that may arise regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.
The Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Management has represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has
discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under the professional standards of the AICPA and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that firm’s independence.
Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representation of management and the reports of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2025.
The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors have also recommended, subject to shareholder ratification, the selection of RSM US LLP, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. The recommendation of the Board of Directors can be seen under Proposal Three of this Proxy Statement.

TRANSACTIONS WITH CERTAIN RELATED PERSONS
From time to time, certain Directors and executive officers of the Company who are customers of the Bank have entered into loan, wealth management and brokerage and deposit transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. In addition, certain Directors are also directors, trustees, officers or shareholders of corporations and non-profit entities or members of partnerships that are customers of the Bank and that enter into loan and other transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. Such loan transactions with Directors and executive officers of the Bank and with such corporations, non-profit entities and partnerships are on such terms, including interest rates, repayment terms and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons who are not affiliated with the Bank and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectability or present other features unfavorable to the Bank. Charitable contributions have been made in the normal course of business to certain non-profit organizations where Directors serve as officers or directors of these organizations.
The Audit Committee reviews disclosures made in this Proxy Statement and all other reports and filings of the Company required under the federal securities laws regarding all related-party transactions that are required to be disclosed under the requirements of Item 404 of the SEC’s Regulation S-K. Any transactions involving the Company (including any subsidiaries) and related parties must be conducted on an arm’s-length basis and any consideration paid or received by the Company in connection with any such transaction shall be on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms that would be available under the same or similar circumstances with an unaffiliated third party. With respect to any such transaction, the related party’s interest is disclosed to and approved by the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee prior to any action being taken. All related party
transactions are also disclosed to the Audit Committee. The Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President may approve small dollar related party transactions. Such transactions are ratified by the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee at their next scheduled meeting.
