Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On May 22, 2024, the Board of Directors of Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Charles S. Cullum, the Company’s current Deputy Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, as Chief Financial Officer. Philip J. Mantua, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer, who previously announced his retirement, will continue with the Company until the end of the year to support this leadership transition.
In connection with Mr. Cullum’s appointment, the Board approved an increase in Mr. Cullum’s annual base salary to $466,000 and an increase in his target Annual Incentive Plan award to 55% of his base salary. In addition, the Board granted Mr. Cullum performance-based restricted stock units with a grant date fair value of $100,000. The performance-based restricted stock units will vest at the end of the 2024-2026 performance period, subject to satisfaction of the performance criteria and generally subject to continued employment.
The Board approved a Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement with Mr. Cullum, pursuant to which his designated beneficiary will be entitled to share in the death proceeds payable under one or more life insurance policies owned by Sandy Spring Bank (the “Bank”) in the event of his death while the Agreement remains in effect. The amount payable to Mr. Cullum’s beneficiaries is the lesser of two and one-half times the executive’s base salary or the net death proceeds of the policies, which is defined as the total death proceeds minus the greater of the cash surrender value of the policies or the aggregate premiums paid by the Bank.
The Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreement will terminate if Mr. Cullum has a separation from service, other than as a result of his disability or following a change in control, prior to his normal retirement date or early retirement date. Under the agreement, an executive’s normal retirement date is the date on which the executive has attained age 65 and an executive’s early retirement date is the date on which the executive has both attained age 60 and completed ten years of service.
In addition, Mr. Cullum was designated as a participant in the Company’s Executive Severance Plan with a severance multiplier of three for termination occurring during a covered period related to a change in control and a severance multiplier of one for termination outside of a covered period.
A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Cullum’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Sandy Spring Bancorp’s Board of Directors Appoints Charles S. Cullum Chief Financial Officer Philip J. Mantua to Support Leadership Transition Through End of Year OLNEY, MARYLAND, May 23, 2024 — The Board of Directors of Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq- SASR), today announced the appointment of Charles S. Cullum to Chief Financial Officer. Cullum was promoted from Deputy Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Philip J. Mantua, the outgoing Chief Financial Officer, who previously announced his retirement, will continue with the Company until the end of the year to support the leadership transition. “Charlie has played a central role in the financial management of the Company for many years, and I am confident in his ability to lead our financial operations as Chief Financial Officer, said Daniel J. Schrider, Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sandy Spring Bank. “We demonstrated positive momentum in the first quarter, and the Company is in a good position to make this transition now.” Cullum began his banking career 20 years ago as a teller. He joined Sandy Spring Bank in 2006 as a Market Research Analyst. He steadily rose through the ranks in the Finance Division and was promoted to Division Executive and Treasurer in 2022.

Cullum, Chief Financial Officer. “It has been a pleasure to advance my career with this outstanding organization, and I look forward to working with the rest of the executive leadership team to continue to grow the Company by providing superior client service and shareholder value.” Cullum has already been representing the Company within the investment community and working closely with the executive leadership team preparing for this transition to Chief Financial Officer. ________________________________________________________________ About Sandy Spring Bank Sandy Spring Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sandy Spring Bancorp, Inc.
