Companies that benchmark against BWB
6 companies name BWB as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses BWB in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named BWB in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

Equity transactions since the proxy statement was filed

Every insider equity transaction reported on Form 4 after the 2025 proxy statement — acquisitions, dispositions, exercises, and withholdings — and therefore not reflected in any table in that document.

a. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “How are abstentions and broker non-votes treated? With respect to the election of directors and the say-on-pay proposal, abstentions will not affect the outcome of the election or the proposals.”.

b. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “With respect to the election of directors and the say-on-pay proposal, abstentions will not affect the outcome of the election or the proposals. Broker non-votes, which occur when brokers are prohibited from exercising voting authority for beneficial owners who have not provided voting instructions or otherwise do not vote on the proposal, will be disregarded and have no effect on the election or the say-on-pay proposal.”.

c. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the outcome of the election.”.

Approval percentages are the company's own reported computations under its own stated standard, not recomputed by Velarion. Where a company does not state a standard, none is assumed.

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies Bridgewater Bancshares Inc names as compensation peers, which name it back in their own disclosed peer groups. A peer set the market reciprocates reads differently from one selected in a single direction.

Reciprocity shown where the peer's own current proxy has been read — each mark is cited in the register to that peer's filing. A dash means the peer's current proxy was read and names no reciprocal group including Bridgewater Bancshares Inc.
