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

On Monday, July 31, 2023, Eagle Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") notified Antonio F. Marquez, Senior Executive Vice President and President of Commercial Banking, that his employment will terminate without cause, effective August 31, 2023, due to a position elimination. We do not intend to name a successor to Mr. Marquez.

In connection with his termination, Mr. Marquez will be entitled to severance benefits under his employment agreement and non-compete agreement payable upon a termination without cause as described under "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" in the Company's 2023 Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, dated April 5, 2023. These benefits consist of up to twelve months of healthcare continuation coverage at active employee rates, and cash severance equal to one times Mr. Marquez's annual base salary rate and most recent cash bonus. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company has also determined that the benefits to which Mr. Marquez will be entitled under his supplemental executive retirement plan agreement (at such times as provided in the agreement) will not be subject to reduction despite his cessation of service prior to age 67.

The payments and benefits described above are generally conditioned upon Mr. Marquez signing a release of claims and complying with his pre-existing restrictive covenants.

Ms. Riel, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in an internal announcement said, "Tony has been an invaluable member of the EagleBank team and has significantly contributed to our success. We thank him for his years of service to EagleBank and wish him the all the best."
