Appointment of Executive Officers
On October 30, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "Glacier"), appointed Ryan Screnar to serve as an Executive Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer of the Company and Glacier Bank, the Company's wholly owned banking subsidiary (the "Bank"). Upon Don Chery's previously announced retirement, now planned for February 2025, Mr. Screnar will become Chief Administrative Officer of the Company and the Bank, replacing Mr. Chery in that position. As part of the transition, Mr. Screnar will continue to oversee the Bank's compliance functions as part of a realignment of certain responsibilities assigned to the Chief Administrative Officer. Certain other functions will be assigned to the expanded position of Executive Vice President and Chief Experience Officer, as further described below.
Mr. Screnar, age 50, previously served as the Bank's Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer since January 2022.  Prior to taking the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer, Mr. Screnar held various positions with increasing responsibilities since joining the Bank as an Internal Auditor in the Internal Audit Department in May 2000, including as Audit Director from October 2000 until November 2016.  Mr. Screnar is a 1996 graduate of University of Montana.  He is also a 2005 graduate of Pacific Coast Banking School and a licensed CPA in the state of Montana.
There are no family relationships, as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K, between Mr. Screnar and any of the Company's executive officers or directors or persons nominated or chosen to become a director or executive officer. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Screnar and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed to his position, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Also on October 30, 2024, the Board appointed Lee Groom to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Experience Officer of the Company and the Bank. Mr. Groom, who currently serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Experience Officer of the Bank and oversees the retail customer experience, commercial card products, and mortgage lending businesses, is being promoted to this expanded position and will assume additional responsibilities, including oversight of the information technology function at Glacier.  The Board, in consultation with Glacier's President and CEO, Randy Chesler, expanded the Chief Experience Officer role to better address the increasing complexities of the Glacier businesses that arise out of its growth and the increasingly complex operating and regulatory environments in which it operates. Mr. Groom will continue to report directly Mr. Chesler.
Mr. Groom, age 48, was appointed as Senior Vice President and Chief Experience Officer of the Bank in October of 2018.  Prior to that, Mr. Groom had spent nearly two decades in the financial services industry in various roles of increasing responsibility, most notably with HSBC and First Interstate Bank. Mr. Groom is a 1998 graduate of Colorado College with a B.S. in Mathematics, with distinction, and he attended Colorado State from 1999-2001, taking additional courses towards a master's in statistics.
There are no family relationships, as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K, between Mr. Groom and any of the Company's executive officers or directors or persons nominated or chosen to become a director or executive officer. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Groom and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed to his current position, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Employment Agreements
Effective November 1, 2024, Glacier entered into new employment agreements with Messrs. Screnar and Groom (each, an "Executive"). The employment agreements are substantially similar to those entered into with the Company's other executive officers. The material terms of the employment agreements are briefly described below.
The term of each Executive's employment agreement is a rolling two years, with a renewal in February of each year, and each Executive will be paid an initial annual base salary of $342,000. Each Executive will be eligible to participate in the Company's short-term cash and long-term equity incentive plans, as well as Glacier's other employee benefit plans made available to similarly situated employees.
If the Executive's employment is terminated for conduct constituting Cause, as defined, or due to his death or continuing disability, Glacier will pay the Executive the salary earned through the date of his termination. If Executive's employment is terminated by Glacier for a legitimate business reason, but without Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, as defined, he will be paid an amount equal to the greater of (a) the amount of base salary remaining to be paid during the term of his employment agreement, or (b) the amount he would be entitled to receive under the Bank's severance plan, over a period of two years.
If either Executive's employment is terminated by Glacier (or its successor) with a legitimate business reason but without Cause either (1) following the announcement of a Change in Control, as defined, and which Change in Control occurs within six months of such termination, or (2) within two years following a Change in Control, the Executive will be entitled to receive an amount equal to two times his prior year's compensation, as reported on IRS Form W-2, payable in 24 equal monthly installments. The amounts described above also would be payable if the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason within two years following a Change in Control. These amounts will also be reduced by any payments the Executive receives following a Change in Control for base salary, cash bonuses, or relating to severance from employment. In addition, to the extent that the payments will be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then the total payments will be reduced if and to the extent that a reduction in the total payments would result in Executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis.
The agreements include non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions that continue for one and two years, respectively, following termination of employment.
