ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Effective May 18, 2026, Flagstar Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) implemented leadership updates which further strengthen the Bank’s executive management team and support the continued execution of its long-term strategic plan, senior executive development, and succession planning.

As part of these planned changes, Joseph M. Otting, Executive Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, will relinquish the title and role of President, while continuing to serve as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Richard Raffetto, Senior Executive Vice President and President of Commercial and Private Banking of the Bank, and Lee Smith, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Bank, will serve as Co-Presidents and Co-Chief Operating Officers of the Bank, effective immediately.

In their expanded roles, Messrs. Raffetto and Smith will assume additional leadership responsibilities across key operational and strategic functions, further enhancing organizational alignment and continuing momentum across the Bank’s business lines. Mr. Raffetto will become the Bank’s Chief Banking Officer and will lead all commercial lending and relationship banking verticals, including commercial real estate, as well as consumer banking and private banking. Mr. Smith will remain Chief Financial Officer overseeing accounting and finance, treasury, investor relations, corporate real estate and vendor management, and mortgage banking. In addition, he will now have oversight for human resources, information technology, and operations. Messrs. Smith and Raffetto will both continue to report to the Chief Executive Officer and work closely with the Board of Directors to support the Bank’s long-term strategic vision.

In addition, effective May 18, 2026, Bao Nguyen, Senior Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Chief of Staff of the Bank, will become the Bank’s Chief Legal Officer and remain Chief of Staff, reporting to the Chief Executive Officer. The Bank’s General Counsel, as well as the strategic planning, regulatory affairs, and community investment functions will report to Mr. Nguyen. He will also add the new role of Chief Operating Officer for Consumer and Retail Banking and in this capacity, he will work with Reggie Davis, Senior Executive Vice President and President of Banking, who will continue to lead the Bank’s consumer and retail banking business. Also, effective upon the changes in Mr. Nguyen’s responsibilities, Peter Sullivan, Senior Deputy General Counsel and Chief Regulatory Counsel of the Bank, will become the Bank’s General Counsel and assume day-to-day management of the Bank’s legal department.

In connection with these planned changes, on May 18, 2026, the Bank entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Otting in his role as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The amended and restated employment agreement provides for a term ending on March 6, 2028 and may be extended or renewed upon the prior written agreement of the Bank and Mr. Otting. Under the amended and restated employment agreement, Mr. Otting’s base salary will be increased to $1,400,000, effective as of March 6, 2027, and Mr. Otting will have a target annual cash bonus opportunity of $2,250,000 for 2026 and $2,500,000 for 2027 under the Bank’s short-term cash incentive program. In addition, on May 18, 2026, Mr. Otting will receive a restricted stock unit award with a grant date fair value of $10,000,000, based on the opening stock price of the Bank’s common stock on May 18, 2026, which will vest in equal quarterly installments over the period from March 6, 2027 through March 6, 2028. The amended and restated employment agreement provides that if Mr. Otting’s employment is terminated by Mr. Otting for good reason (as defined in the agreement), or by the Bank without cause (as defined in the agreement) prior to March 6, 2028. Mr. Otting will be entitled to receive two times his base salary and target bonus. The amended and restated employment agreement also provides that Mr. Otting will be entitled to receive an amount equal to one times his base salary and bonus in effect as of immediately prior to March 6, 2028 in exchange for agreeing to certain post-employment restrictive covenants,.

Forward-looking statements are typically identified by such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should,” "confident," and other similar words and expressions, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. Additionally, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; we do not assume any duty, and do not undertake, to update our forward-looking statements. Furthermore, because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in our statements, and our future performance could differ materially from our historical results. Our forward-looking statements are subject to, among others, the following principal risks and uncertainties: general economic conditions and trends, either nationally or locally; conditions in the securities, credit and financial markets; changes in interest rates; changes in deposit flows, and in the demand for deposit, loan, and investment products and other financial services; changes in real estate values; changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, including associated allowances and reserves; changes in future allowance for credit losses, including changes required under relevant accounting and regulatory requirements; the ability to pay future dividends; changes in our capital management and balance sheet strategies and our ability to successfully implement such strategies; our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Reorganization; changes in our Board of Directors and our executive management team; changes in our strategic plan, including changes in our internal resources, procedures and systems, and our ability to successfully implement such plan; changes in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions; changes in legislation, regulations, and policies; the impacts of tariffs, sanctions and other trade policies of the United States and its global trading counterparts; the outcome of federal, state, and local elections and the resulting economic and other impact on the areas in which we conduct business; the impact of changing political conditions or federal government shutdowns; the imposition of restrictions on our operations by bank regulators; the outcome of pending or threatened litigation, or of investigations or any other matters before regulatory agencies, whether currently existing or commencing in the future; our ability to comply with heightened regulatory standards with respect to governance and risk management programs to which we are subject as a national bank with assets of $50 billion or more; the restructuring of our mortgage business; our ability to recognize anticipated cost savings and enhanced efficiencies with respect to our balance sheet and expense reduction strategies; the impact of failures or

disruptions in or breaches of our operational or security systems, data or infrastructure, or those of third parties, including as a result of cyberattacks or campaigns; the impact of natural disasters, extreme weather events, civil unrest, international military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events; and a variety of other matters which, by their nature, are subject to significant uncertainties and/or are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties with respect to our merger with Flagstar Bancorp, which was completed in December 2022, and our acquisition of substantial portions of the former Signature Bank through an FDIC-assisted transaction, which was completed in March 2023: the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transactions will not be realized when expected or at all; the possibility of increased legal and compliance costs, including with respect to any litigation or regulatory actions related to the business practices of acquired companies or the combined business; diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; the possibility that we may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in or as a result of the transactions within the expected timeframes or at all; and revenues following the transactions may be lower than expected. More information regarding some of these factors is provided in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in other SEC reports we file. Our forward-looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those we may discuss in this news release, on our conference call, during investor presentations, or in our securities disclosure filings, which are accessible on our website, on the OCC's website at www.occ.gov and on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.
