Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment
of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Pursuant to the Articles
of Incorporation, as amended (the
"Charter"), of CrossFirst
Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company"),
the
Company's Board of Directors
(the "Board") is divided into three
classes, as nearly equal
in number as possible, designated:
Class I, Class II and Class
III. Due to changes in composition
of the Board, the Board consisted
of five Class I directors
(with
a term expiring in 2024), four Class
II directors (with a
term expiring in 2022), and six
Class III directors
(with a term
expiring in 2023).
In an effort to ensure that the Company's
Board consists of three
classes divided as nearly equal as
possible, on February 24,
2022, Lance Humphreys, resigned
as a Class III
director, effective immediately, and was
immediately reappointed as a
Class
II director for a term expiring at
the Company's 2022 annual
meeting of stockholders.
The resignation and reappointment
of Mr. Humphreys was effected solely to satisfy
provisions of the Company's
Charter in
order to rebalance the Board
classes, and for all other
purposes, including vesting and
other compensation matters,
Mr.
Humphreys' service
on the Board is deemed to have continued
uninterrupted.
Mr. Humphreys remains chair of the
Board's
Corporate Governance and Nominating
Committee and a member
of the Board's Compensation
Committee.
