(b) Riverview Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), and its financial institution subsidiary, Riverview Bank (the “Bank”), announced that on August 4, 2026, Michael Sventek, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer, announced his intention to retire, effective October 30, 2026. Mr. Sventek’s notice in connection with his retirement did not indicate that his retirement was the result of any disagreements with the Company or the Bank. The Company is commencing a search for his successor and plans to utilize an executive search firm to support an internal and external search process.
The Company is well positioned for this leadership transition. Through Mr. Sventek's leadership the past three years, the Company has established strong client relationship and calling practices and experienced management depth that provide continuity and support the ongoing execution of the Company's lending and growth strategies. The Company does not anticipate any disruption to its operations because of the transition.
“Mike has had a distinguished 35-year banking career, and we are grateful for the leadership, experience and steady partnership he brought to Riverview. Over the past three years, he strengthened our commercial lending team and supported the growth of our treasury management and mortgage production teams. His commitment to our clients, people and communities made a meaningful difference, and we wish him all the best in his well-earned retirement,” stated Nicole Sherman, President and CEO.
