Director Elections
Election of Directors
Director since 2013 with extensive banking and business experience; no overboarding, attendance, independence, or TSR trigger concerns apply — RRBI's 3-year price return of 88.2% outpaces QABA (the community bank benchmark) by +53.7pp, well below the 65pp threshold needed to trigger a No vote.
CEO and director since 1998 with deep institutional banking knowledge; no overboarding or attendance issues, and RRBI's strong 3-year outperformance of QABA (+53.7pp vs. the 65pp trigger threshold) means the TSR trigger does not apply to him as an executive director.
Director since 2022 with business and community ties; joined within the past 24 months relative to the start of the performance period and the stock has outperformed QABA strongly, so no TSR or other policy trigger applies.
Director since 2021 with business and community experience; no overboarding, attendance, or independence issues, and RRBI's 3-year outperformance of QABA is well below the 65pp No-vote threshold.
Long-tenured director since 1998 with extensive financial and business experience; all meetings attended at required levels, no independence concerns, and strong RRBI stock performance relative to QABA means no TSR trigger fires.
Non-executive Board Chair since 1998 with significant business leadership experience; no overboarding, attendance, or independence issues, and RRBI's 3-year outperformance of QABA (+53.7pp) is well short of the 65pp threshold needed to trigger a No vote.
Director since 1998 with broad business and investment experience; serves on Audit and Compensation committees as an independent director, all meetings attended, and RRBI's strong performance relative to QABA does not trigger any TSR concern.
Audit Committee Chair since 1998; a retired CPA with 45 years of accounting experience who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert — exactly the kind of financial expertise the policy looks for — and no TSR, attendance, or independence triggers apply.
All eight nominees pass every policy screen: RRBI's 3-year price return of 88.2% outperforms the QABA community bank benchmark by +53.7pp, which is well below the 65pp threshold required to trigger a No vote for a company with strong positive TSR; no director is overboarded, all attended at least 75% of meetings, audit committee members have appropriate financial expertise, and no familial relationships with senior management are disclosed.
Say on Pay
✓ FORCEO
R. Blake Chatelain
Total Comp
$1,132,306
Prior Support
98.5%%
CEO total compensation of $1,132,306 is modest and well within benchmark expectations for a CEO at a community bank with a roughly $586M market cap; the company received 98.5% shareholder support on Say on Pay at the 2025 annual meeting, signaling broad shareholder satisfaction. The pay program includes variable components (annual cash bonus and restricted stock awards) alongside fixed salary, a meaningful clawback policy is in place, and equity dilution from executive stock awards is minimal relative to shares outstanding — no policy triggers fire.
Auditor Ratification
✓ FORAuditor
EisnerAmper LLP
Tenure
3 yrs
Audit Fees
$308,175
Non-Audit Fees
$0
EisnerAmper has served since 2023 (approximately 3 years, well below the 25-year tenure threshold), and the company paid zero non-audit fees in 2025, meaning the non-audit fee ratio is 0% — far below the 50% threshold that would raise independence concerns; no restatements or auditor adequacy issues are noted.
Overall Assessment
The 2026 Red River Bancshares annual meeting presents a clean ballot: all eight director nominees pass every policy screen on the back of RRBI's strong 3-year stock outperformance versus the QABA community bank benchmark, the auditor ratification is straightforward with zero non-audit fees and a short tenure, and Say on Pay earns a For recommendation given modest CEO pay, a 98.5% prior-year approval rate, and a functioning clawback policy. There are no stockholder proposals on the ballot.
