Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
|
On July 23, 2025, the Boards of Directors of First Northwest Bancorp (the "Company") and its banking subsidiary, First Fed Bank ("First Fed"), announced approval of the election of Diane C. Davis as a Director.
Ms. Davis’ term as a Director of the Company is effective immediately and will continue until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at which time it is anticipated that she will be nominated for re-election by the shareholders. The Company's Board has determined that Ms. Davis meets the requirements for director independence under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Ms. Davis was appointed to serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for both the Company and First Fed. She was also appointed to serve on the Board Loan Committee for First Fed.
There are no transactions in which Ms. Davis has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. There are no family relationships between Ms. Davis and any other executive officer or director of the Company or First Fed. Other than the compensation arrangements described below, there is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Davis and any other persons or entities pursuant to which Ms. Davis will be elected as a Director of the Company.
Ms. Davis will receive compensation for her services as a Director consistent with the Company’s standard practices for non-employee (outside) Directors. For 2025, outside Directors receive an annual retainer of $36,530. Annual retainers for committee service are $4,800 for the Audit Committee and $2,800 for each other standing committee of the Company. All retainers are paid in equal monthly installments. The Chair and committee chairs receive additional annual retainers. Directors do not receive a fee for meeting attendance. Ms. Davis will receive shares of the Company’s common stock equivalent in value to $50,000 (based on the closing market price on September 6, 2025), vesting in three equal annual installments beginning September 7, 2026. No additional compensation is paid to Directors for service on the First Fed Board.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company on July 23, 2025, regarding the foregoing is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
