- Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): 25,000 time-based units vesting over 43 months.

Material Changes
The primary material change is the bifurcation of the President role at Coastal Community Bank into two distinct positions:

- President of Community Bank Division: Curt Queyrouze appointed to lead the community bank and corporate credit operations.
- Chief Technology Officer: Michael Barreiro appointed to the Bank's CTO role.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing outlines specific performance conditions tied to executive compensation rather than providing corporate financial guidance:

- ROE Target: A portion of performance units vests if the company's Return on Equity ranks in the 80th percentile of its peer group for the period January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2027.
- Related Party Transaction: The filing discloses that Brian Hamilton and Michael Barreiro are first cousins, though no material interest in other transactions was identified.
