Governance Assessment

  • Board effectiveness and engagement: High overall attendance (98.5%) and active committee participation across Compensation, Risk, and Credit Risk, Fair Lending & CRA—key oversight levers for pay design, risk appetite, lending quality, and CRA obligations .
  • Independence & alignment: Independence affirmed; director ownership guidelines met; anti-hedging/pledging policy promotes alignment; Motley defers equity awards—indicative of long-term orientation .
  • Compensation mix: Balanced director pay with moderate cash retainer and annual time-based RSUs (no options); 2024 total of $169,988 with $79,988 equity value supports alignment without excessive risk-taking .
  • Compensation governance: Motley serves on the Compensation Committee; Committee uses independent consultant (Aon), peer-based relative metrics, clawback policy, double-trigger change-in-control (no tax gross-ups), and annual risk reviews—strong pay-for-performance governance architecture .
  • Potential conflicts: RED FLAG—FNB’s LP stake in BTN.vc where Motley is a GP (albeit <5% interest). Mitigants include formal related-person policy, committee pre-approval/annual review, and full proxy disclosure; Board reaffirmed director independence after review, but investors should monitor governance of this relationship over time .
  • Shareholder signals: Strong say‑on‑pay support (87.32%) in 2024 indicates broadly positive investor sentiment on compensation governance, indirectly supportive of Compensation Committee oversight quality .

Overall: Motley's portfolio of committee assignments and external public-board experience enhances risk, credit, and compensation oversight. The BTN.vc related-party exposure is disclosed and procedurally mitigated but warrants continued monitoring as a governance risk factor; otherwise, independence, attendance, and ownership alignment are supportive of investor confidence .
