Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On January 30, 2024, the boards of directors (the “Boards”) of FB Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, FirstBank (collectively, the “Companies”), increased their respective sizes from 11 members to 12 members and appointed R. Milton Johnson to fill the vacancies created by the increase in number of directors and to serve as a member of the Boards until the election and qualification of his successor or until his earlier death, resignation, or removal. The increase in the sizes of the Boards and Mr. Johnson’s appointments are each effective as of March 1, 2024.
The Boards have determined that Mr. Johnson qualifies as an independent director under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. As of the date of this Report, the Boards have not appointed Mr. Johnson to any committees of the Boards, though the Company undertakes to amend this Current Report if Mr. Johnson is subsequently appointed to any such committees. There are no family relationships between Mr. Johnson and any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by the Boards to become a director or executive officer of the Companies, and there were no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Johnson and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director of the Boards. In addition, there are no transactions involving Mr. Johnson and the Companies that require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In his capacity as a director, Mr. Johnson will receive compensation that is consistent with the compensation received by the other non-employee members of the Boards. A description of the compensation paid by the Company to its non-employee directors is set forth under “Director Compensation” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2023 annual meeting of shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2023, which description is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On February 5, 2024, FB Financial Corporation issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Johnson to the Boards. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
The information contained in this Current Report under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other documents pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or into any filing or other document pursuant to the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
