Companies that benchmark against CWBC
7 companies name CWBC as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses CWBC 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 CWBC 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.

Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The Company's executive compensation program is designed to enhance shareholder value by aligning the interests of the NEOs with those of the Company's shareholders. The program has two primary objectives: to ensure compensation is competitive with that being offered to individuals in comparable roles at other companies with which we compete for talent to ensure we employ the best people to lead our success; and to focus NEOs on the achievement of specific short- and long-term performance objectives that drive business results.

The compensation peer group as the company disclosed it in its own proxy — the reference set behind the percentile above.

10a

Peer reciprocity

Of the companies Community West Bancshares 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 Community West Bancshares.

Chief executive pay against the peer group

Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company's own proxy statement.
