The annual meeting of shareholders of FB Financial Corporation (the “Company”) was held on May 21, 2026, At the annual meeting, the Company’s shareholders elected 13 directors to hold office for one year and until their successors are duly elected and qualified: J. Jonathan Ayers, William F. Carpenter III, Agenia W. Clark, James W. Cross IV, James L. Exum, Christopher T. Holmes, Orrin H. Ingram, R. Milton Johnson, Raja J. Jubran, C. Wright Pinson, Emily J. Reynolds, J. Henry Smith IV, and Melody J. Sullivan. In addition, at the annual meeting, the shareholders approved the FB Financial Corporation 2026 Incentive Plan, an amendment to the employee stock purchase plan, and approved, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers. Further, the proposal to amend the Company’s charter to eliminate the supermajority voting standards failed to obtain the requisite approval of the holders of 80% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Finally, the shareholders ratified the appointment of Crowe LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The final voting results are set forth below.
