Item 5.02.             Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On May 20, 2021, Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and the Company’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The 2021 Plan makes 1,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) available for issuance to eligible participants (less 921 shares issued under our prior plan after March 25, 2021), plus any shares underlying an award outstanding under the Eagle Bancorp, Inc. 2016 Stock Plan that expires, terminates, is canceled or is forfeited for any reason following the Annual Meeting date. The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of the following equity-based incentive awards to participants: (i) non-qualified stock options, (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted stock, (iv) restricted stock units, and (v) other stock-based awards. The ESPP enables eligible employees to purchase shares of the Common Stock at a discount through participation in discrete offering periods. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. A total of 200,000 shares of the Common Stock are available for purchase under the ESPP.

 

A description of the material terms and conditions of (i) the 2021 Plan appears on pages 66-72 of the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2021, and (ii) the ESPP appears on pages 73-76 of such proxy statement. These descriptions are incorporated into this Item 5.02(e) by reference. These descriptions do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2021 Plan and ESPP, which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, to this report and incorporated into this Item 5.02(e) by reference.
