						A Letter from the CEO and Chair

Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.

2000 McKinney Avenue, 7th Floor
Dallas, Texas 75201

March 7, 2024

To our fellow stockholders:

On behalf of the Board of Directors, we are pleased to invite you to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. at 7:30 a.m., central daylight time, on Tuesday, April 16, 2024, which will be held at the corporate headquarters, Texas Capital Center, at 2000 McKinney Avenue, 9th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201.

December 2023 marked 25 years since a group of visionary Texas business leaders founded Texas Capital with the intention of creating the premier bank based in Texas serving clients across our state. We are proud of the role our firm has played in helping fuel the state’s economic growth over these past decades.

Our firm materially progressed its transformation in 2023, increasingly translating a now sustained track record of strategic success into financial outcomes consistent with long-term value creation. We are now operating a unique Texas-based platform providing our clients with the widest possible range of differentiated products and services, on parity with the largest money center banks.

This higher quality operating model, supporting a defined set of scalable businesses, is resulting in the intended outcomes. The entire platform contributed to our full year financial results which is a testament to the continued execution of our strategic plan.

A core element of our strategy is maintaining balance sheet positioning sufficient to support our clients through market and rate cycles, and our industry leading liquidity and capital continue to afford us a competitive advantage. Year-end CET1 Ratio 1 of 12.65%, Common Equity to Total Assets of 10.2%, and Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets 2 of 10.2%, an all-time high for the firm, plus a robust cash and securities position, allows for a consistent and proactive market-facing posture as we are distinctly capable of supporting the diverse and broad needs of our clients in what continues to be a dynamic and challenging operating environment for all industries. We have over the last three years, clearly prioritized the resiliency of both our balance sheet and business model as a core tenant of our franchise.

Foundational to the firm’s culture, we continued investing in our people and empowering the communities we serve. We published our inaugural ESG report called “Our Values in Action”, sharing our continued work serving our communities, along with the initiatives the bank has undertaken in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, employee training programs, consumer protections, and more.

An experienced and well-rounded board of directors is a crucial part of the firm’s commitment to financial resiliency and good governance. We engaged with several stockholders throughout the year and intently listened to your feedback. This year, we welcomed Laura Whitley to the Board, who brings more than three decades of leadership and public company experience in the banking industry. Additionally, Bob Stallings succeeded Larry Helm, who retired from the Board after 17 years of service.

The board of directors is committed to providing strong governance for the Company, as evidenced by its board leadership structure, which is currently led by an independent Chair, a lack of takeover protections, a director retirement age, limits for directors on other board service, and a low threshold of 10% for stockholders to call a special meeting.

Over the last several years, we have enjoyed meeting many of you, stockholders of the firm, and greatly appreciate the discussions and the insights you have shared with us as we continue to execute on our strategic plan. We look forward to our ongoing engagement and we are grateful for your support of Texas Capital as we are focused on driving value creation for all our stakeholders.

						Proxy Summary

Governance Highlights (cont.)

Board Profile (See page 16 )

The Board identified particular qualifications, attributes, skills and experience that are important to be represented on the Board as a whole, in light of the Company’s current and future business needs. The following table indicates the number of current directors that have the noted skill or experience.

Board Diversity (See pages 16 and 24 )

The Company and the Board believe diversity in the boardroom is critical to the success of the Company and its ability to create long-term value for stockholders. The diverse backgrounds and diversity of thought of the individual directors help the Board better oversee the Company’s management and operations from a variety of perspectives.

Women:

3 Directors (25%)

Racial / ethnic diversity:

2 Directors (16.7%)

The Governance Committee and the Board consider diversity in a broad sense, including diversity of viewpoints, background, work experience and other demographics, such as race, age, gender identity, ethnicity, nationality, disability, sexual orientation and cultural background. The Board will continue to make diversity a priority when considering director candidates.

Stockholder Engagement and Outreach (See pages 43 and 56 )

The Company routinely engages with various stakeholders, including stockholders, rating agencies, proxy advisory services, and customers on a variety of matters. This year, management contacted many of the stockholders for the purpose of formally engaging with them about their 2023 proxy vote and a variety of topics, including Board diversity and succession, executive compensation performance measures and metrics, ESG topics and Company performance. Overall, the engagement meetings were positive and constructive. See “ Governance – Stockholder Engagement ” and “ Executive Compensation – 2023 Say on Pay and Stockholder Engagement ” for more information on specific discussions and actions since the last annual meeting.

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 7


						Proxy Summary

Governance Highlights (cont.)

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Update (See page 32 and following)

The Company established an ESG Council in 2021, which is overseen by the Governance and Nominating Committee, consisting of executive leadership and senior management, to navigate and more proactively advance ESG-related efforts.

• Focused on operating the business in a sustainable manner. The headquarters, Texas Capital Center, is located in a leased building designated as a U.S. Green Building Council Leaders in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) (Gold level) facility

• Proud to support clients who excel in sustainable business practices

• The Bank has incorporated Environmental, Social and Governance considerations into a policy statement. The statement sets forth expectations that as part of the Bank’s “know your customer” program and due diligence efforts it will consider potential environmental, social or governance risk factors, including those related to the Bank’s Enhanced Due Diligence Industry list

• The Bank currently operates only 10 physical branches and will continue to focus on its branch-lite model, which is further evidenced by its investment and growth in its fully online, consumer platform, Bask Bank, offering a variety of savings products to consumers

• The Bank’s lending portfolio consists of less than 8% in the energy or carbon fuels sector

• Increased employee participation in the firm’s Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and recruiting efforts, including campus engagement

• Continued a record of strong community involvement in 2023 through employee volunteerism (over 12,000 hours), impact lending ($341 million, which includes community development lending, small business and SBA), impact investing ($13 million) and philanthropy ($4.1 million)

• Partnered with the Texas Capital Bank Foundation to further the firm’s assistance to Texas non-profit entities

• The Bank has a diverse workforce where 42% are women and 43% self-identify as ethnically diverse

• Strong Board and corporate governance practices support overall effectiveness and enable management to manage the business and maintain integrity in the marketplace

• During 2023, senior management reached out to stockholders owning 66.7% of the common stock and, along with Board members, met with stockholders owning 37% of the shares to communicate the Company’s progress on ESG matters and to better understand how ESG fits into investment analysis and decision-making

• One other thing that shapes how the Bank and the Company think about ESG is that, as a bank, it’s already subject to some of the strictest regulation of any industry – the Bank’s information systems, internal controls, and capital allocations are just a few places it has more eyes on it than the average public company. At the end of the day, good corporate governance takes the form of policies and programs, including several internal committees the Bank implemented to ensure it protects the interests of all stakeholders

• The Company has continued development of security controls and processes through various means

Governance Practices ( See pages 28 and 79 )

The Board is committed to good corporate governance, which promotes the long-term interests of stockholders, strengthens the Board and management accountability and helps build public trust in the Company. Highlights of the Company ’ s governance practices include:

• Annual election of directors

• Plurality voting in uncontested director elections with offer of director resignation if withheld votes exceed for votes

• Independent Board Chair

• All directors are independent, other than CEO

• Director retirement policy

• Director capacity, commitment and over boarding policy

• Directors may be removed with or without cause

• Action by written consent / right to call special meeting permitted

• No poison pill

• Executive sessions of independent directors

						Proxy Statement

PROXY STATEMENT

For the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 16, 2024

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on or about March 7, 2024, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors to be voted at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held on April 16, 2024, at 7:30 a.m. at Texas Capital Center, 9th Floor, 2000 McKinney Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75201. The Company is the parent corporation of Texas Capital Bank (“Texas Capital Bank” or the “Bank”; the Company and the Bank collectively referred to as the “firm” or the “Company,” where appropriate).

In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), instead of mailing a printed copy of the proxy materials to each stockholder, the Company is furnishing proxy materials to its stockholders on the Internet. You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you specifically request them. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy materials. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet.

INFORMATION ABOUT SOLICITATION AND VOTING

Record Date and Voting Securities

Quorum and Voting

At least a majority of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date must be present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote to have a quorum to transact business. If there are not sufficient shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting for a quorum or to approve any proposal, the board of directors may postpone or adjourn the Annual Meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. The twelve nominees receiving the highest number of votes “for” will be elected. Votes may be cast “for” or may be “withheld” with respect to any or all nominees. For purposes of the election of directors, votes that are “withheld” and broker non-votes (described below) will be counted as “present” for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors. In accordance with the Company’s Majority Voting Policy, any nominee for election as a director receiving a greater number of “withhold” votes than votes “for” election in an uncontested election must deliver his or her resignation to the board of directors. The board of directors will determine whether to accept the resignation based upon the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee and consideration of the circumstances. The Company will disclose the Board’s decision and the process by which it was reached.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter is required to approve each of Proposal Two (ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) and Proposal Three (advisory vote on 2023 executive compensation). Votes on these proposals may be cast “for,” “against” or “abstain.” An abstention will have the effect of a vote against Proposals Two and Three. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal Three and there will be no broker non-votes on Proposal Two. Abstentions, votes against and broker non-votes will be

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 10


						Proxy Statement

counted as “present” for purposes of establishing a quorum. The results of voting on Proposal Three is advisory only and will not be binding upon the Company or its board of directors.

The Company does not currently know of any other matters that may come before the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the persons designated in the enclosed proxy will vote your proxy in their discretion on such matters.

A broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner submits an executed proxy to the Company but does not vote on a particular proposal because it does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, they are not permitted to vote on your behalf on Proposals One or Three at the Annual Meeting unless you provide specific instructions to such bank, broker, or other nominee in accordance with their procedures. For your vote to be counted on Proposal One (election of directors) and Proposal Three (advisory vote on 2023 executive compensation), you must communicate your voting decisions to your bank, broker or other nominee within the time period stated in their instructions to you. Your bank, broker or other nominee will be permitted to vote on Proposal Two (ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) without instructions from you and, as a result, there will be no broker non-votes on Proposal Two.

The individuals named as proxies will vote properly completed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting in the way you direct. If you send in a properly completed proxy but do not specify how the proxy is to be voted, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted to elect the twelve director nominees, to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2024, and to approve, on an advisory basis, the 2023 compensation of the named executive officers. If your shares are held by a bank, broker or other nominee and you want to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the record holder and present it at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a stockholder of record you may revoke a proxy at any time before the proxy is exercised by:

1. delivering written notice of revocation to Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary – Annual Meeting, 2000 McKinney Avenue, 7 th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201;

2. submitting another properly completed proxy card that is later dated;

3. voting by telephone at a subsequent time;

4. voting through the Internet at a subsequent time; or

5. voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, please follow the instructions that you receive from them to instruct them to revoke the voting of your shares.

Please review the proxy materials and follow the relevant instructions to vote your shares. The Company hopes you will exercise your rights and fully participate as a stockholder.

Solicitation of Proxies

It is important that you are represented by proxy or are present in person at the Annual Meeting. The Company requests that you vote your shares by following the instructions as set forth in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. Your proxy will be voted in accordance with the directions you provide.

The Company’s board of directors is making this solicitation and the Company will pay the costs and all expenses of this proxy solicitation. The directors, officers and employees of the Company and the Bank may also solicit proxies by telephone or in person but will not be paid additional compensation to do so. The Company engaged Alliance Advisors, LLC to assist with the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $12,500. The Company also agreed to reimburse Alliance Advisors, LLC for certain expenses and to indemnify Alliance Advisors, LLC against certain losses and expenses. The Company will reimburse brokers, fiduciaries and custodians for their costs in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of common stock.

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 11


						Proxy Statement

The Company is permitted to send a single Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Notice”) and any other proxy materials it chooses to mail to stockholders who share the same last name and address, unless the stockholders have notified the Company of their desire to receive multiple copies of the Notice or proxy materials. This procedure is called “householding” and is intended to reduce printing and postage costs.

The Company will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the Notice or proxy materials to any stockholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed. If you would like to receive a separate copy of the Notice or other proxy materials, either now or in the future, please contact the Company in writing at the following address: Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 2000 McKinney Avenue, 7th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201, or via telephone at (214) 932-6600.

If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other nominee and would like to receive additional copies of the Notice and any other proxy materials, or if multiple copies of the Notice or other proxy materials are being delivered to your address and you would like to request householding, please contact your bank, broker or nominee.

PROPOSAL ONE – Election of Directors

Background

Based on the recommendation of the Board’s independent Governance and Nominating Committee (“Governance Committee”), the board of directors nominated twelve directors for election at the Annual Meeting – Paola M. Arbour, Jonathan E. Baliff, James H. Browning, Rob C. Holmes, David S. Huntley, Charles S. Hyle, Thomas E. Long, Elysia Holt Ragusa, Steven P. Rosenberg, Robert W. Stallings, Dale W. Tremblay, and Laura L. Whitley, to serve a one-year term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified. All of the nominees have indicated their willingness to continue to serve as a director if elected. Each of the nominees have previously been elected as directors of the Company by stockholders except for Ms. Whitley, who was elected by the Board in May 2023. The Company’s management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve.

At the Annual Meeting, you will have the opportunity to elect these twelve nominees. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for these twelve nominees. However, if any of the nominees is unable or declines to serve for any reason, your proxy will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee selected by the board of directors.

A substantial majority of the Board must qualify as independent under the relevant listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market and applicable SEC rules. The board of directors determined that each of the Company’s current directors, and each of the director nominees, other than Mr. Holmes, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, qualifies as an “independent director” as defined in such standards and rules.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. However, i n accordance with the Company’s Majority Voting Policy, any nominee for election as a director receiving a greater number of “withhold” votes than votes “for” election in an uncontested election must deliver his or her resignation to the board of directors, for consideration by the Governance Committee and the Board. See “Proxy Statement – Quorum and Voting” on page 10 .

It is the Company’s policy to encourage directors and nominees for director to attend the annual meeting. Last year, 100% of the Company’s directors and nominees for director attended the annual meeting.

There is no family relationship between or among any of the executive officers or directors. There are no arrangements or understandings between any of the executive officers or directors and any other person pursuant to which any of them are elected as a director or appointed as an officer.

						Governance

Board Composition and Refreshment

Board Refreshment

Ensuring the Board is composed of directors who bring diverse viewpoints and perspectives, exhibit a variety of skills, professional experience and backgrounds, and effectively represent the long-term interests of the stockholders, is a principal priority of the Board and the Governance Committee. The Board and the Committee also understand the importance of Board refreshment, and strive to maintain an appropriate balance of tenure, diversity, skills and fresh perspectives on the Board. The Board believes that new perspectives and new ideas are critical to a forward-looking and strategic board, as is the ability to benefit from the valuable experience and familiarity that longer-serving directors bring.

Over the last eight years:

▪ 6 new directors elected

▪ New Chair appointed

▪ Rotation of Two Committee Chairs

▪ Expanded skills and qualifications (including diversity) represented on the Board

Qualifications Required of All Directors

The Board and the Governance Committee require that each director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field and have the ability to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company. Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, a willingness to assume fiduciary responsibilities, an appreciation of diversity and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition, the Board conducts interviews of potential director candidates to assess integral qualities, including the individual’s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.

The Board considers diversity in a broad sense, including diversity of viewpoints, background, work experience and other demographics, such as race, age, gender identity, ethnicity, nationality, disability, sexual orientation and cultural background, and professional experience and skills in evaluating candidates for Board membership and assesses the effectiveness of this policy through the Governance Committee’s annual review of director nominees. The Board believes that diversity results in a variety of points of view and, consequently, a more effective decision-making process.

Ms. Whitley joined the Board in May 2023. The Governance Committee and the full Board carefully reviewed her experience, skills and attributes, including her independence. The Governance Committee and the Board elected her to the Board in May 2023 and determined to recommend her to stockholders for re-election at the 2024 Annual Meeting. She had been recommended as a candidate by a director candidate search firm.

Board Diversity

The Company believes it is important that its board of directors is composed of individuals reflecting the diversity represented by its employees, customers, and its communities. In recent years, the Governance Committee took this priority to heart in its nominations process, and the diversity of the Board has broadened. With the addition of Paola Arbour in 2021 and Laura Whitley in 2023, the Company continued to expand the diversity of its Board. Provided below is enhanced disclosure regarding the diversity of the Board.

						Governance

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MATTERS

Board of Directors

The board of directors oversees the business affairs of the Company. The board of directors meets on a regularly scheduled basis to review significant developments affecting the Company and to act on matters requiring approval by the board of directors. Special meetings of the board of directors are held as required from time to time when important matters arise that require action between scheduled meetings. The board of directors held six regularly scheduled meetings during 2023. Each of the Company’s directors participated in at least 75% of the meetings of the board of directors and the committees of the board of directors on which the director served during 2023.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board’s leadership structure is designed to promote Board effectiveness and to appropriately allocate authority and responsibility between the Board and management. The Board believes it is important to retain flexibility to determine its leadership structure based on the particular composition of the Board, the individual serving as Chief Executive Officer, and the needs and opportunities of the Company and the Board as they change over time. Currently, the CEO and chairman positions are separated. Robert W. Stallings acts as the non-executive Chair, and Rob C. Holmes serves as the Chief Executive Officer. The Board evaluates the Board leadership structure annually for possible change. The members of the Company’s board of directors also serve as directors of the Bank to provide effective oversight of the Bank.

A significant portion of the Board’s oversight responsibilities is carried out through its four independent, principal standing committees: Audit Committee, Risk Committee, Governance and Nominating Committee, and Compensation and Human Capital Committee. Allocating responsibilities among committees allows more in-depth attention devoted to the Board’s oversight of the business and affairs of the Company. See “ Risk Oversight ” below for more information. Committees meet regularly in conjunction with scheduled Board meetings and hold additional meetings as needed. Each committee reviews reports from senior management and reports its actions to, and discusses its recommendations with, the full Board.

All committee chairs are appointed at least annually by the Board. Committee chairs are responsible for:

• Calling meetings of their committees

• Approving agendas for their committee meetings

• Presiding at meetings of their committees

• Serving as a liaison between committee members and the Board, and between committee members and senior management, including the CEO

• Working directly with the senior management responsible for committee mandates

Board members have direct access to management and regularly receive information from and engage with management during and outside of formal Board meetings. In addition, the Board and each committee has the authority and resources to seek legal or other expert advice from sources independent of management.

Board Evaluation

The Board and the Board committees regularly evaluate their own effectiveness throughout the year. The evaluation is a multifaceted process that includes an annual formal self-evaluation process developed and administered under the direction of the Governance Committee, periodic one-on-one discussions between each director and the Board Chair, individual director input on agenda topics for Board and committee meetings and strategic planning sessions, executive sessions held in Board and committee meetings without management present, and periodic input to the CEO and senior management on enhancements to Board and committee effectiveness.

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 25


						Governance

Process

Determine focus areas, scope, and format. The formal self-evaluation has historically been in the form of written questionnaires administered by Board members or management. Each year, the Governance Committee discusses and considers the appropriate approach, including areas of focus, scope and format, and approves the selected evaluation process. In 2023, the Governance Committee determined to use a new format under which each director would meet with the Governance Committee Chair and the Board Chair in combination with questionnaires sent to each Committee Chair to use and aide in discussion with committee members.

Conduct evaluation . Members of the Board and each Board committee participate in the formal evaluation process, responding to questions designed to elicit information to be used in improving Board and committee effectiveness.

Review feedback in executive sessions. Director feedback solicited from the formal self-evaluation process is discussed during Board and committee executive sessions and, where appropriate, addressed with management.

Respond to director input. In response to feedback from the multifaceted evaluation process, the Board and committees work with management to take concrete steps to improve policies, processes, and procedures to further Board and committee effectiveness.

One-on-one discussions with Board Chair and Committee Chairs. In addition to the formal annual Board and committee evaluation process, the independent Board Chair and all Committee Chairs speak with each independent Board member regularly, at least quarterly, and receive input regarding Board and committee practices and management oversight. Throughout the year, directors also have the opportunity to provide input directly to committee chairs or to management.

The Board and the Board committees are continuously evaluated for their own effectiveness throughout the year.

Formal self-evaluation

The Board believes that there are five areas where the Board should focus: board and committee composition; board culture; board and committee focus; board process; and information and resources.

Composition. Through the self-evaluation process, the Board identifies qualities, relevant skills, and experiences of potential director candidates that are consistent with the Company’s current strategy, that allow the Board to effectively perform its risk oversight responsibilities, and that would add to the Board’s diversity. The Board also assesses its overall director recruitment and succession planning processes and committee composition.

Board culture. The Board considers its role in setting the standard for the Company’s culture and values by forging a collegial and collaborative dynamic that values independent judgment and emphasizes accountability. As part of this review, directors evaluate how they interact among themselves and with management, including the importance of challenging and holding management accountable. This past year, the self-evaluation included a focus on enhancing Board skills, engagement and refreshment as the Company continues to grow and mature its platform, product and service offerings and execute on its strategy.

Focus. The Board and the Board committees consider their effectiveness in performing key oversight responsibilities in a number of areas, including: strategy; risk; environmental and social sustainability; and management talent and succession planning. They continuously evaluate the sufficiency of information received and the time spent in these areas. They regularly reassess their oversight focus by engaging in dialogue with management, soliciting feedback from stockholders and other stakeholders, and receiving third-party perspectives on the competitive environment, opportunities for growth, macroeconomic trends, and geopolitics.

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 26


						Governance

Process. As part of the formal self-evaluation process, directors review overall Board and committee structure, the allocation of meeting time, cadence of meetings, efficiency and other meeting processes. In addition, outside of the formal self-evaluation process, each of the directors also meets with management and with the Board Chair through a combination of executive sessions, smaller group sessions, and one-on-one meetings. Directors are focused on Board and committee meeting structure so as to allow ample time for discussion, debate, and in-depth review of key topics and trends, and to facilitate focus on strategic topics.

Information and resources. Through the self-evaluation process, the Board and committees evaluate the quality of meeting materials and presentations and the overall amount and type of information, education, and training opportunities they receive both from management and outside advisors and experts. The directors continue to highlight the need for clear, comprehensive, and concise information to effectively support their oversight responsibilities, including understandable and targeted materials that identify key issues.

The Governance Committee considered industry trends, practices of peers, feedback from stockholders, and regulatory developments in creating the formal 2023 self-evaluation. The formal 2023 self-evaluation solicited directors’ views on topics in each of the five key areas of board effectiveness, including topics covering the Company’s current operating environment, input from stockholders learned during engagement discussions, and areas of opportunity. As part of its ongoing review of Board and committee composition, the Governance Committee also continued to seek input on the Board’s director succession planning process, including Board and committee leadership succession planning. Results are shared with management, as appropriate, to assist the Board and committees in making enhancements to address opportunities identified.

Enhancements made in response to formal Board self-evaluations

In response to feedback solicited from the Board and committees in 2023, the Company continues to:

• Adapt meeting structure and cadence to enhance the Board’s ability to perform its oversight responsibilities and to promote Board engagement, including through a mix of in-person and virtual meetings, and by providing ample time during Board and committee meetings for discussion, debate, in-depth reviews, and executive sessions

• Prepare meeting materials that are tailored and allow for an understanding of key issues, while maintaining completeness, and providing timely updates, as needed

• Enhance presentations for Board and committee meetings so that they complement and add insight beyond written meeting materials, while leaving ample time for question and answer sessions and other discussion

• Provide more opportunities for the Board to interact with employees throughout the organization, both formally and informally, as the operating environment normalizes, and for one-on-one and smaller group discussions between directors and management on critical issues

• Support directors’ discussion and decision-making on Board leadership succession planning and committee membership, including a focus on future needs

• Enhance discussion about areas of emerging risk at Board and Risk Committee meetings, including in-depth reviews of key topics including cyber security risk, climate risk, operational resilience, and risks arising from the economic environment

• Provide additional information on topics identified by directors as desired areas of increased focus for the development of board strategic planning sessions, including information related to technology and operations, the regulatory landscape and the economic outlook

• Present deep dives on environmental and human capital management-related topics at the Board and committee level, including regular updates on implementation of the company’s sustainability initiatives and climate activities

• Enhance information provided to support the Board’s management talent and succession planning responsibilities, including information on how specific performance goals factor into executive management’s performance evaluations

• Provide educational opportunities during regularly scheduled meetings, with an emphasis on topics requested by directors and current events and trends

• Provide third-party perspectives on the Company, peers, the industry, and the economy, and on stockholder and stakeholder feedback in Board and committee materials and presentations and through additional resources

Board and Corporate Governance: Strong Governance Practices

The board of directors is committed to providing sound governance for the Company. The board of directors adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”) and charters for each committee of the board of directors to provide a flexible framework of policies relating to the governance of the Company. These documents are available in the “Governance Documents” section of the Company’s website at https://investors.texascapitalbank.com/governance-responsibility/governance-documents/default.aspx.


The Company’s sound governance practices include :
• Annual election of all directors
• Plurality voting for directors in uncontested elections with a required offer of resignation by any director who receives more “withhold” votes than “for” votes in the election
• Independent Chair
• All directors are independent, other than CEO; 100% principle standing committee member independence
• Director retirement policy
• Director capacity, commitment and over boarding policy
• Directors may be removed with or without cause
• Action by written consent / stockholder right to call special meeting permitted
• Executive sessions of independent directors at each regular Board meeting
• Annual Board and Committee evaluations
• Strong investor outreach program, including participation by the Chair and other Directors
• Accountability to maintain stock ownership per director and executive guidelines
• Prohibition on hedging and pledging
• Comprehensive recoupment policy
• Ongoing director education
• Ongoing consideration of Board composition and refreshment, including diversity in director succession
• Strong director attendance: each director then in office attended the 2023 annual meeting and 75% or more of total meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served during 2023
• Board oversight of corporate responsibility and ESG matters
• Board and Compensation and Human Capital Committee oversight of human capital management matters
• Direct Board access to management and access to independent advisors
• No poison pill

Among the policies addressed in the Guidelines are the following:

• Retirement policy. A director who reaches the age of 75 at or before the time of his or her election will not be eligible for re-election to the board of directors, subject to waiver of this requirement on an annual basis by unanimous vote of the remaining members of the board.

• Board leadership structure. Currently led by an independent Chair.

• Limits on other board service. No director may serve on more than four public company boards (including the Company’s board of directors), but the Chair may only serve on a maximum of two

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 28


						Governance

other public company boards. The Company’s CEO and other executive officers may serve on only one other public company board.

• Review of significant responsibility changes. Any director who retires from his or her principal employment, or whose principal occupation or business association changes substantially, must tender a letter of resignation to the board of directors. The board of directors will determine whether to accept the resignation based on the recommendation of the Governance Committee after its review of the circumstances.

• Annual meeting attendance. The board of directors expects all of its members to attend the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders. Of the twelve directors then serving on the Board, all of the directors were in attendance at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

• Director compensation. Director compensation includes a substantial equity component representing approximately half of each director’s annual compensation to align director interests with the long-term interests of stockholders. See “ Director Compensation ”.

• Director stock ownership. The board of directors established stock ownership guidelines for directors to further align their interests with the long-term interests of stockholders. Directors are expected to own common stock having a value of at least five times the cash portion of the annual retainer paid to outside directors, and may not dispose of any shares of the Company’s common stock unless they own, and will continue to own, common stock with a value at or above that level.

• Executive pay governance and stock ownership. As discussed in more detail below at “ Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis ”, the Guidelines include policies addressing:

◦ Executive stock ownership

◦ No excise tax gross-ups with respect to executive compensation received upon a change in control

◦ No “single trigger” payment or acceleration of benefits upon a change in control

◦ Recoupment or “Clawback” of incentive compensation upon a restatement of the Company’s financial statements

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 29


						Governance

Risk Oversight

The board of directors is responsible for oversight of management and the business affairs of the Company, including the management of risk. The board of directors oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, intended to support the achievement of strategic objectives to optimize the organizational performance and enhance stockholder value while operating within the Company’s risk appetite statement. Although the board of directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, the Board has generally delegated the responsibility of risk oversight activities to the Board’s Risk Committee. Certain other Board-level committees are delegated oversight of specific aspects of risk management. For example, human capital and incentive compensation risk is overseen by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board. Risk in ESG matters is overseen by the Governance and Nominating Committee. Although the Risk Committee has oversight of each risk category, including information technology and cyber security, the Audit Committee of the Board has primary reporting and oversight of certain programs and operating activities that have key risk management roles or attributes, including financial reporting, internal audit, external audit and most aspects of the compliance management program.

The following graph shows the Board’s allocation of key risk topics to the various Board committees.

Board of Directors

Risk Committee

Audit Committee

• Oversight of the Company’s management of credit, liquidity, strategic, reputational, market, interest rate, operational (including information technology and cyber security), compliance, financial, and capital adequacy (“enterprise”) risks

• Annual review and approval of the Company’s risk management framework and review and recommendation to the board of directors of the Company’s risk appetite statement

• Oversees the activities of the Company’s Executive Risk Committee, which is chaired by the Company’s Chief Risk Officer, who has a direct reporting relationship to the Risk Committee

• Review and monitoring of regulatory results

• Confirms that the Company’s lending activities are within the context of the Company’s risk framework

• Communicate with the other Board committees to assure the integrated oversight of the full range of enterprise risks

• Oversight of major financial risk exposures

• Monitors the Company’s financial reporting risk, including the allowance for credit losses, and regulatory compliance risk

• Oversight of Trust Department

• Review significant risk trends identified by internal audit

Compensation and
Human Capital Committee

• Review and oversight of compensation plan risk assessments

• Oversight of risk related to human capital management, including talent management, executive succession planning and DEI

Governance and Nominating Committee

• Oversight of risk in ESG matters

• Oversight of risks related to corporate governance practice and procedure

To embed risk management into the front-line processes while maintaining a strong system of oversight, the enterprise risk management (“ERM”) Framework establishes a “Three Lines of Defense” model for risk governance. The Three Lines of Defense clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the Lines of Business (“LOBs”) (first line of defense), Independent Risk Management (second line of defense), and Internal Audit (third line of defense) relative to the management of risk, as well as provides a framework that supports the integrity of information escalated to the risk governance committees and to the Board. The three lines are

						Governance

balanced in importance and stature and must all operate effectively across the organization to enable strong risk management.

The ERM principles and related components detailed within the accompanying chart represent a summary of the Company’s overall ERM Framework.

To provide clarity on the role of certain parties relative to the three lines of defense, all departments / functions have been mapped to each line of defense. There are instances and functions that transcend the three lines of defense that have responsibilities inclusive of those in the first and second lines of defense but other than risk-taking activities. Furthermore, a formal organizational structure is in place which outlines the chain of command/line of authority within each business area.

Enterprise Risk Management Program 2022 GRaph.jpg

Management established an internal Executive Risk Committee (“ERC”), reporting to the Board's Risk Committee, chaired by the Company’s Chief Risk Officer (Mr. Storms), and comprised of executives responsible for all major categories of risk to provide management oversight and guidance related to the Company’s enterprise risk management, including the CEO and CFO. The ERC updates the Company’s risk appetite statement and enterprise risk management policy on an annual basis and establishes various risk tolerances focused on quantitative and qualitative key risk indicators, which are ultimately approved by the board of directors.

In addition, the Bank conducts a Capital Stress Test exercise to assess the capital adequacy in a stressed economic environment while ensuring alignment with the Board’s Risk Appetite. The Capital Stress Test Framework is part of the overall capital planning and management process. Management’s Capital Management Committee (“CMC”) is responsible for the governance, oversight, decision-making and approval for the annual capital stress test exercise. The CMC is designed to escalate matters, as necessary, to the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) and then to the Executive Risk Committee.

Controls are incorporated into the process, establishing principles and policies to ensure that the capital stress test exercise is governed and consistent with various stakeholder expectations. The capital adequacy assessment will underpin which capital actions can be carried out after the review of the capital stress test results and the appropriate approvals.

Board ’ s Role in Human Capital Management and Talent Development

The Board believes that human capital management and talent development are vital to the Company’s continued success. They are integral elements of the Company’s strategic framework and the Company strives to create a diverse and inclusive workplace with meaningful opportunities that will attract and retain the best and brightest in a historically competitive talent landscape.

The Board’s involvement in leadership development and succession planning is systematic and ongoing, and the Board provides input on important decisions in each of these areas. The Board has primary responsibility for succession planning for the CEO and oversight of other executive officer positions. The Governance and Nominating Committee oversees the development of the process and protocols regarding succession plans for the CEO, and annually reviews these protocols. To assist the Board, the CEO annually provides the Board with an assessment of senior managers and their potential to succeed to the position of CEO, developed in consultation with the Chairman and the Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee. The Board meets regularly with high-potential executives, both in small group and one-on-one settings. During 2021, the Board oversaw the appointment of a new CEO and appointments of several direct reports of the CEO, including four female executives, one of which is racially/ethnically diverse, demonstrating the firm’s focus on building a highly skilled and diverse executive team that brings a broad array of opinions and perspectives that are reflective of the business. During 2022, the Board oversaw the appointment of key leadership, including Mr. Cummings, as chief administrative officer. The Board oversaw the reorganization of the senior leadership team in 2023 to drive greater efficiency, and to enhance employee engagement and superior client outcomes. In addition, the Board reviewed and discussed the talent planning process with management as well as the succession plan for the entire operating committee.

With respect to the broader organization, the Board is actively engaged in the oversight of the corporate culture and is continuously focused on developing a culture that is aligned with the Company’s long-term strategy. This includes reinforcing a set of behaviors throughout the Company that management thinks are critical to empower performance, including voicing opinions fearlessly, raising the bar on talent and diversity and acting with integrity. In addition, the Board and its applicable Committees regularly engage with employees at all levels of the organization to provide oversight on a broad range of other human capital management topics, including talent attraction and retention, diversity, equity and inclusion, health and safety, training and development and compensation and benefits. Employee feedback is considered in designing and evaluating employee programs and benefits and in monitoring current practices for potential areas of improvement. See “ Governance – Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Highlights ” above.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Highlights

Overview

The Company’s vision is, “To be the flagship financial services firm headquartered in Texas serving the best clients in our markets.” In order to make that happen, the firm needs to ensure it has the appropriate level of focus in the management of its environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices. The firm takes a comprehensive approach to corporate social responsibility that includes investing in its communities, creating a culture of strong corporate governance, attracting and retaining the best talent, and continuing focus on sustainable business practices. The Company believes that this approach enables it to more effectively serve its stockholders, clients, communities, and colleagues.

While the ESG programs continue to evolve, the firm is currently focusing on creating value through the following prioritized areas: governance, sustainable finance, diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”), engaging and empowering employees, philanthropy, employee giving and volunteerism, and investment in affordable housing and taking a proactive approach to cyber security to protect Bank employees and customers. The firm continues to assess its ESG strategy by listening and advocating for issues that matter most to its various stakeholders.

						Governance

The Company launched the ESG Council in 2021, led by the Chief Legal Officer, which is responsible for oversight and proactively advancing ESG efforts, including involvement of key internal executives and integration with the Bank’s strategy. During 2022, the firm enhanced the ESG Council by solidifying the monthly cadence of meetings, expanded the Council by adding additional executives to ensure all stakeholders are engaged to enhance the comprehensive approach, developed an ESG Roadmap with measurable short-term and long-term goals, with defined benchmarks to measure progress, and identified gaps and other areas for improvement internally to drive further improvements that are aligned with the firm’s strategy and mission. To better highlight the impact the Bank is having, its website now has a dedicated landing page, Our Values in Action, highlighting the Bank’s environmental, social and governance efforts.

Much of what the firm does with respect to ESG may seem far from core operations, but there is a business case for it – benefits that are hard to quantify aren’t less valuable but nonetheless, done right they lead to value creation. Management couldn’t work as effectively as it does without extensive local engagement, as described below. Another thing that shapes how the firm thinks about ESG is the fact that, because its primary operating subsidiary is a bank, it is already subject to some of the strictest regulation of any industry. But even with that high bar, the firm still has been able to deliver on its strategic transformation plan and continues reinvesting in the communities it serves.

ESG Governance and Reporting

The Company’s ESG program is under the primary oversight of the Governance and Nominating Committee, with the Compensation and Human Capital Committee focusing on human capital management (including talent management, executive succession planning and culture). Management reviews and discusses strategy, goals, practices and performance with the Board, which also receives management updates on progress, ratings, disclosures and stakeholder engagement. At the executive management level, the ESG program is led by the Chief Legal Officer, in collaboration with the Company’s ESG Council established in 2021, which ensures appropriate alignment and involvement from the Chief Executive Officer, other executive leaders and cross-functional management. In 2023, the Company published its first ever Our Values In Action Environmental, Social and Governance Report, which can be found at https://www.texascapitalbank.com/sites/default/files/documents/our-values-in-action-esg-report-2023.pdf. This report includes details on many of the ESG initiatives and accomplishments. In 2022, the Company also published on its website an ESG-focused landing page titled “Our Values in Action,” meant to highlight the Company’s ESG-related progress and initiatives in real-time rather than waiting to share the news in a quarterly or yearly periodical. See https://ww.texascapitalbank.com/who-we-are/our-company/our-values-in-action. The Company will continue to review these disclosures, taking into consideration industry practices and stakeholder expectations, among other factors.

						Governance

Environmental

The Company is focused on operating the business in a sustainable manner, as it believes it better serves its communities and also has a positive effect on operating expenses. The Company also believes that it’s important for its clients to reflect the values behind how it does business, which is why it endeavors to steward its capital and resources toward investments that drive value, socially responsible and sustainable business practices.

Operational Environmental Impact . The firm’s corporate headquarters, Texas Capital Center, is located in a leased building that has been designated as a LEED (Gold level) building, and its newer lease, the North Dallas Campus, is also LEED certified (Silver level) building. Additionally, the firm’s branch-light operating philosophy allows it to avoid the impact on the environment of operating a large number of facilities, while still allowing it to serve clients with the level of service its clients have come to expect.

◦ Construction techniques being used for the Texas Capital Center renovation incorporate waste diversion, paint low in volatile organic compounds, “Cradle to Cradle Certified” carpet, and other practices and methodologies to promote a sustainable environment.

◦ Design elements such as daylight harvesting, and touchless faucets and water closets are being incorporated in Texas Capital Center to ensure healthy and optimized lighting levels and energy savings.

Sustainable Finance. The firm’s lending agreements require that energy industry and real estate construction clients comply with all applicable federal, state and local environmental regulatory requirements. The Company is proud to support clients who excel in sustainable business practices.

During 2021 the Bank incorporated Environmental, Social and Governance considerations into a policy statement. Now, as part of the regular process around engaging with clients and potential clients, the Bank’s “know your customer" program and due diligence assessments help evaluate potential environmental, social and governance risk factors so that the Company can remain committed to doing business in the most sustainable way possible.

Social and Human Capital Management

The health, safety and well-being of employees and clients is of paramount importance. This includes financial and other support, encouragement of a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion, through training and development, and both personal and financial involvement in the community.

• Health & Safety. The Company’s policy is to provide a safe and healthy workplace. In 2023, the Company continued its support of employees, clients and communities in a variety of ways.

◦ The Company maintained focus on the health and safety of every employee. With the enhanced business continuity plan, every employee can be accounted for in the event of an emergency and routines developed to communicate roles and responsibilities.

◦ Additional Wellness and Mother’s rooms added to Texas Capital Center, and the new North Dallas Campus and San Antonio office, as well as other projects as expansions or renovations occur. These additions reflect the Company’s commitment to enhancing the employee experience and the continued emphasis that is placed on attracting and retaining exceptional talent.

◦ The Company expanded mental health support to include additional counseling sessions at no additional cost as well as enhanced physical health support for employees.

◦ The TCB Employee Disaster Relief Fund exists to help employees who are facing financial hardship immediately after a natural disaster or an unforeseen personal hardship. The Fund relies primarily on individual donations from employees and support from the Bank to fund this program. Every

contribution helps and when combined with the donations of others can provide a tax-free grant (USA) to help a fellow employee in need when they are facing the unexpected.

• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion .

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement. At Texas Capital Bank, having a workplace where all employees feel respected is an integral part of the strategy to build a strong culture where employees can reach their full potential professionally and personally. People are the firm’s greatest asset; the firm’s initiatives around ensuring a respectful workplace are a driver and an enabler for employees to thrive within the firm’s teams, with clients, and in the firm’s communities.

In 2023, the Company continued its inclusion efforts through cultural celebrations and employee engagement activities across its markets, and the Company broadened communications internally and externally as it highlighted the stories and experiences of diverse leaders from across the firm. Listening tours were conducted with employees across the firm to get their perspective of what “DEI” means to them and where the firm has opportunity to improve.

Recruiting Talent. The firm’s Talent Acquisition and Community Development teams worked together to expand its relationship with academic and strategically located HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and HSIs (Hispanic Serving Institutions) across the firm’s Texas markets. In addition to the focus on HBCUs, there is heightened focus on a diverse candidate slate for open roles as often as possible.

As a firm, at December 31, 2023, 42% of the workforce are female and 43% self-identify as ethnically diverse. The Company will continue to invest in recruiting strategies to help Texas Capital Bank reflect the clients and communities it serves.

Employee Resource Groups (ERG). With the launch of all ERGs in 2022, the focus in 2023 was ensuring charters were clear and leadership was in place; the firm prioritized proactive planning, strong execution, and defined processes. With new leadership teams in place, the firm saw exponential growth in employee engagement and programming. Employee participation increased by 40% and programming tripled year over year. In addition to advancing educational awareness, the ERGs led the way in creating opportunities for employees to give back to the communities the firm serves through volunteerism.

ERG 2023 Highlights

◦ Emerging Professionals : the mission is to provide members opportunities to build relationships across generations through networking and community service events and career development activities

▪ The Emerging professionals partnered with the Market Leadership Teams in hosting New Hire Welcome Events in some of Texas Capital markets.

◦ Multi-Ethnic Employee Resource Group (MERG) : the mission is to serve all employees by prioritizing the importance of diversity and inclusion across all ethnicities both within the Bank and in its communities: the goal is to provide a multicultural perspective through initiatives that promote cultural competence, allyship, and development

▪ For Black History Month, MERG hosted a Fireside Chat with Texas Capital Board Member David Huntley as the inspiring keynote speaker with more than 220+ employees attending across the firm.

▪ During Hispanic Heritage Month, MERG hosted a panel featuring Hispanic leaders from across the firm who shared their leadership journey and how their culture and upbringing inspired them to excel personally and professionally.

▪ On Patriot’s Day, the team volunteered at the Houston and DFW National Cemetery where they cleaned more than 3000+ headstones.

Attracting The Best Talent. In the firm’s efforts to attract the best talent, the firm continued to refine its talent pipeline through intern and early career programs. The firm expanded its reach with the top universities in the state of Texas and enhanced partnerships with both Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), which includes working in partnership with the American Bankers Associate and Texas Bankers Association to develop a Commercial Lending Certificate program at HBCU campuses and to recruit students who desire to go into financial services.

The firm filled over 600 roles in 2023 resulting in ~27% internal promotions or lateral moves to learn a new skill.

Developing Our Talent. The Company is committed to supporting the development of its employees at every level in the organization. Every employee is given the opportunity to grow and develop his or her career both through formal training as well as on-the-job experience. In 2023, employees actively engaged in approximately 80,000 hours of learning to develop both technical and leadership skills. Over a quarter of the employee population expanded or changed roles as part of their career growth and professional development.

In 2023 part of the Company’s training and development included:

◦ Revising and updating of critical annual regulatory compliance and required corporate training for all employees

◦ Building and delivering technical, job-specific skills training for areas such as operations, sales, credit, and technology

◦ Refining the analyst program to enhance focus on critical credit training, technical training, and leadership skills

◦ Completing the launch of job profiles for every role across the Bank which identifies the skills, knowledge, and abilities to empower employees to focus on targeted skill development and career ownership

◦ Launching the IT Career Ladder that specifically focuses on career progression of employees in the Technology organization

◦ New Manager development program that supports management integration and development to enable success

◦ First Year Experience program designed for new hires in support of onboarding CEO discussions with senior leaders from across the firm

As an organization, the firm has had and continues to have purposeful focus on attracting, developing, engaging, and retaining talent. Based on the full transformation of the firm, focus on these foundational components drive sustainable success resulting in the advancement of talent and the growth of the firm.

Being an employer of choice requires a concerted effort and being intentional in all that the firm does.

The firm is committed to providing employees with the resources necessary to successfully drive their careers. To facilitate this, the firm has put in place a Leadership Model that identifies the critical skills and

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 37


						Governance

behaviors necessary to be successful at Texas Capital at every level. Additionally, the firm has created Success Profiles that describe the critical knowledge, skills and abilities needed for every role in the Company. These tools work together to help employees identify areas to focus on to qualify for promotion and role expansion.

Because the firm wants employees to be successful in their role, the firm offers technical training to upskill on systems, methodologies and processes needed to best serve our clients. A focus in 2023 was rolling out a client coverage methodology that ensured bankers were able to address the needs of their clients effectively and efficiently.

Each year, the firm continues to refine and update its early career program, for both interns and college graduates, to ensure that the firm’s talent has both strong credit and technical skill to achieve the goals of the firm and best serve its clients. Additionally, the firm empowers its analysts through specific leadership training resulting in building partnerships and a network across the firm.

Managers play a critical role in the success of their employees. The firm has a manager training program with regular installments focused on upskilling managers and ensuring they have the skills needed to coach employees. This year, the firm implemented a program for new managers (hired or promoted) that focuses on critical tasks and responsibilities managers must perform and provides training on important leadership and management skills that will enable them to be impactful leaders. It also provides meaningful connection with leaders and peers across the firm to help ensure they are set up for success.

The firm regularly holds information sessions for managers and employees to learn more about new processes being implemented or important topics that increase job effectiveness.

Engaging Our Talent. Many resources are made available to all employees regarding networking opportunities with the firm’s Employee Resource Groups.

This year, the firm implemented quarterly fireside chats with the CEO and senior leaders across the firm. This enables the CEO to speak directly with senior leaders, post earnings, and discuss items that are top of mind, ensuring alignment on priorities and upcoming milestones/events. Additionally, this forum allowed for questions, engaging leaders in a meaningful and impactful way.

The First Year Experience was designed to ensure that all new hires have a positive transition into Texas Capital. This program focuses on key components of the business model and the operating model. It allows for more connection to leaders of the firm, information on the ERGs and volunteer opportunities, as well as the information needed to springboard new employees into their new role with a foundation that enables success.

Retaining Our Talent. The firm’s talent planning process facilitates a discussion with senior leaders about talent across the firm. This year, there was increased focus on individual development plans that enables clarity for professional success and leadership growth.

The firm’s performance management process includes setting goals, mid-year conversations and year-end performance evaluation – all of which are documented in the human capital management system. These targeted conversations allow managers to coach performance, guide career development, and manage performance. The firm’s pay for performance culture enables the firm to retain the best talent and encourage their progress and development at Texas Capital.

The firm also believes that it is important that everyone know the policies to ensure fair and consistent practices. So in 2023, the firm launched its first Employee Handbook. The handbook provides the necessary information for all employees to understand resources available and the clarity needed to understand expectations of what is expected. The firm continues to look for opportunities to retain talent. The firm utilized feedback from exit interviews to drive improvements where possible. The firm reduced attrition by 6% in 2023.

In striving to be Employer of Choice and ensure that the firm has the efficiencies necessary to help employees be successful in their roles, the firm implemented a new Human Capital Management System. This process has resulted in more streamlined HR processes, the retirement of 4 systems, the elimination of off-line procedures, and the minimization of risks. It is also creating a more favorable employee experience and engagement in HR-related activities.

• Supplier Diversity. The Company is committed to supporting and promoting qualified diverse businesses from historically underrepresented groups. This year, the Company joined the Dallas / Fort worth Minority Supplier Development Council to ensure collaboration and networking with other entity members. Supplier diversity tracking and monitoring is in place. The Company will continue to grow its supplier diversity efforts through intentional outreach, awareness, and information across the firm and third-party vendors.

• Community Impact.

The firm continued to establish itself as a leader in the community by making strategic financial investments in community endeavors and by promoting a strong corporate culture of volunteerism. The firm’s Community Impact Program exists to remove barriers that stand in the way of communities becoming healthy, resilient, and prosperous.

The Community Impact Program accomplishes this in three ways:

• Lending

• Investments

• Services

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 39


						Governance

Community Impact Lending . Texas Capital Community Development Corporation (TCCDC), a wholly owned subsidiary of the firm, exists to make loans and investments into the revitalization and stabilization of low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities. This impact lending creates a ripple effect in communities were there is a historic lack of investment, stimulating the local economy and providing access to resources such as affordable housing and jobs, where they are needed most.

In 2023, the firm financed $180 million in community development lending. These loans helped create 297 affordable housing units, 45 permanent jobs, 2 new medical facilities, and 3 parks within these communities. The Bank also launched a new Small Business Segment within its Business Banking department, which focuses on serving small businesses with $5 million or less in revenue. Under the Small Business Segment, two new products were launched in 2023: SBA Express and the Small Business Banking Account. This allows the firm to better serve the needs of small and minority-owned businesses. In total, the firm financed $145 million in small business loans throughout Texas, in the form of 392 small business loans.

The Bank’s Government, Nonprofit, Institutions (GNI) team specializes in products and services for organizations serving their communities, and has provided impactful financing for charter schools, nonprofits, and municipalities. Through their expertise, they provide specialized services that help these organizations grow and expand their impact on the communities they serve.

Examples of Community Impact Lending :

◦ Under the firm’s new small homebuilder program, the firm financed Scott Street Development: construction of new homes under $300,000 in Southeast Dallas. As home prices continue to rise, this program is crucial to maintaining affordability in key areas.

◦ Facilitated a Federal Home Loan Bank subsidy and financed a new senior living facility in Fort Worth in partnership with the Stop Six Neighborhood Transformation Plan, a public-private partnership with HUD, the city of Fort Worth, Fort Worth Housing solutions, and other partners, for the revitalization of a chronically underserved community.

◦ Financed construction of new mental health facility in Southern Dallas, the only one of its kind, which will include two new clinics and a new child and family clinic. The facility combines all services, including wraparound services and housing, into a single site, bringing together all community-based programming serving a variety of populations with unique needs under one roof. This is a public-private partnership which includes investment from Parkland, the county hospital, and Dallas County.

Community Impact Investing. Texas Capital Community Development Corporation also makes strategic investments into funds which provide equity and subordinated debt capital into small and growing businesses. These investment funds include Small Business Investment Corporations (SBIC), Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI), and real estate funds that invest in preserving affordable multi-family housing. In 2023, TCCDC made strategic investments with women- and minority-owned and led funds to provide more access to capital to diverse segments. In total, TCCDC invested $13 million into these funds in 2023.

Examples of Community Impact Investing:

◦ The Artemis Female Fund II, LP is a Venture Capital fund on a mission to diversify and modernize wealth by investing in female founders. Focuses on fintech, e-commerce infrastructure, and care-tech companies for female tech innovators and founders.

◦ The Bank is a proud member of Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which gives the firm access to their grant program. Every year the Bank submits for and receives the full allocation for member banks on behalf of partner nonprofits.

◦ Under the initiative to invest in Minority Depository Institutions (MDIs), the Bank partners with MDIs nationwide to expand their capacity through deposits, syndications, and thought leadership on compliance and other matters. Currently the Bank has $143 million in syndications and $58 million in Federal Fund Lines. In 2023, the Bank had 23 MDI clients, 9 of which are in Texas.

Community Impact Services. The firm has always upheld a philanthropic commitment to the communities it serves. Philanthropic donations are made under the three pillars of Live, Learn, and Lift.

◦ Live : Basic needs to support quality of life

◦ Learn : Educational opportunities for lifetime success

◦ Lift : Supportive services for individuals, small businesses, and veterans

Texas Capital Bank Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, was launched in late 2022 and issued its first grants in 2023, including Community Impact Grants and the inaugural Honors Grants, which honored four nonprofits through a competitive selection process under the pillars of Live, Learn, Lift, and STAR (Supporting our Troops, Active and Remembered). Through these Honors Grants, Texas Capital Bank Foundation was able to provide transformational gifts to an organization providing maternal healthcare in a community with the highest maternal mortality rates, an early childhood center for English-language learners, an organization feeding three hot meals per day to the homeless, and a workforce development program for veterans.

During 2023 the firm gave more than $4.1 million in philanthropic gifts through grants and sponsorships, which included Foundation grants and corporate giving. These gifts served over 100 organizations through philanthropic funding and volunteerism. The firm’s employees volunteered to helped repair a home for an elderly resident, served through skills-based volunteerism, taught kids how to code, and taught financial well-being courses. The firm’s employees served over 12,000 volunteer hours and also serve on 42 nonprofit boards.

Examples of Philanthropic Services:

◦ The Texas Capital Bank Foundation pledged its largest grant in the bank’s history: $1 million toward Southern Gateway Park, the ‘park with a purpose’ connecting the northern and southern sectors of Dallas. This new deck park will create programmatic space adjacent to the Dallas Zoo and provide a ripple effect of economic impact for this area.

◦ Provided grant funding for the new Cloud Kitchen in South Dallas, a facility which will serve as a resource for small business owners in a historically under-resourced community. This project was the culmination of three years of planning by The Real Estate Council’s young leaders’ cohort, and the Bank provided funding for equipment and setup. These small businesses will be able to grow and scale with this new access to a commercial kitchen in their communities.

Supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Through Philanthropy. The firm has an abiding commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In 2023 the firm embarked on several initiatives in support of this commitment.

◦ Launched the Commercial Lending Certificate Program in partnership with American Bankers Association onto the UNT Dallas campus. This expands the firm’s current program which deploys this curriculum onto HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) campuses within the firm’s footprint. UNT Dallas is the first partner program to be launched in Dallas and at an HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution).

◦ Presenting sponsor of ‘Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow’ in partnership with the Dallas Holocaust museum. To launch this exhibit, the firm hosted an event for clients and employees featuring a fireside chat with Opal Lee, the Grandmother of Juneteenth.

◦ Hosted several “Together We Dine” events in partnership with Project Unity. These events were centered around courageous conversations about race as well as supporting and respecting each other, and the firm’s employees in all markets participated. This partnership culminated with a concert with the Dallas Symphony and many well-known gospel musicians, called “Together We Sing”.

• Political Activities. Corporate responsibility includes participation from time to time in the political and public policy process, specifically in areas that impact the banking industry, as well as clients, stockholders, employees and communities. It is important that the Company engage with legislators and policymakers, where appropriate, and support initiatives to advocate constructively for the long-term interests of the Company’s business and key constituents. The Company participates in the political process through contributions from its political action committee (“PAC”). The PAC annually solicits contributions from eligible

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 41


						Governance

employees and makes bipartisan contributions in compliance with local, state, and federal election laws. All political contributions are approved by a separate PAC Board comprised of senior executives and employees of the Company. The Company does not use corporate funds to make direct political contributions to candidates for public office or groups organized to influence political campaigns under Section 527 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is a member of several financial services-related trade associations across Texas and the United States that help further the interests of the Company’s business and key constituents through effective grassroots advocacy on behalf of the industry. The Governance Committee recognizes the importance of appropriate governance and risk management of the Company’s corporate political activities, and reviews activities for alignment with the Company’s business, strategy, and corporate values, as well as compliance with applicable laws and regulations.


Governance


• Corporate Governance . Strong corporate governance practices support the Company’s overall effectiveness and enable the firm to manage its business and maintain its integrity in the marketplace. The Company believes strong governance is essential and constructive at all levels, from the board of directors to executive management and throughout the Company. For more information about the firm’s governance practices, see “ Board and Corporate Governance: Strong Governance Practices ” and “ Compensation Governance Best Practices ”. During 2023 directors and management met with stockholders to communicate progress on ESG matters and to better understand how ESG fits into their investment analysis and decision making. See “ Stockholder Engagement ” below.

Because the Company’s primary operating subsidiary is a bank, the Bank has robust controls and reviews, which cover everything from stress testing to anti-money laundering activities. In the last few years the Bank expanded those frameworks with working groups like the DEI Council and the ESG Council to broaden the scope of those efforts – legal compliance is a comfortable minimum for these projects, but in many areas the Company is doing more.

As noted above, the Company has a strong ERM Framework allowing the firm to examine potential risk at multiple levels and with internal executive- and Board-level oversight.

• Information Security. In 2023, the firm continued to enhance its security program under the auspices of continually improving security to battle the growing cyber threat. These included, among other things, upgrading its security information and event management system, enhancing privileged access management, modernizing the identity governance platform, maturing its insider risk program, and continued evolution of its overall cyber security program, which included independent third-party validation. These improvements contribute to the Company’s ability to protect its employees, clients and third-party partners.

Additionally, the Company continued enhancing its capability to address cyber threats – an industry-wide growing risk that is ever evolving. In that regard, the Company bolstered its security operations by growing its internal red team, building an application security assessment capability and partnering with a world class managed detect and response provider. These capabilities resulted in assisting clients in protecting funds, taking down impersonating websites, while providing peace of mind and engendering the trust of employees and clients.

The Company maintained its focus on employees and clients by enhancing the Cyber Education and Awareness program that included new Phish testing, educational videos, improved cyber security training, and multiple cyber security presentations from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, highlighting the strong partnership the Company maintains with law enforcement and its clients and customers in each market to educate and highlight how cyber threats may affect them and what the Company does to protect and combat these threats.

• Code of Conduct. The Company’s Code of Conduct is updated yearly, and all directors, officers, and employees are required to adhere to the principles of honesty and transparency set forth in the Code of Conduct and Company policies.

The above summary reflects selected highlights of the firm’s various ESG efforts and is not an exhaustive list.

Stockholder Engagement

The Board and management team greatly value the perspectives and feedback of the Company’s stockholders, which is why they maintain an ongoing, proactive engagement with stockholders throughout the year in a variety of ways. Throughout the year, the Investor Relations team and executive leaders regularly meet with current stockholders, prospective investors, and investment research analysts. These meetings typically include the Company’s CEO, CFO, and Investor Relations Team in order to engage stockholders and solicit feedback on various topics relevant to the Company’s strategy and performance . Additionally, management attended numerous investment analyst sponsored industry conferences and conducted several non-deal roadshows to meet both in person and virtually with existing and prospective investors.

In Fall 2023, three directors – Mr. Stallings (the Chairman), Mr. Tremblay (the Compensation and Human Capital Committee Chair), and Mr. Rosenberg (a Compensation and Human Capital Committee member) – and members of executive management continued engagement efforts, meeting with many investors to discuss progress under the strategic plan, executive compensation and other topics outlined below. In many instances, the directors and management discussed the voting results on the Company’s 2023 Say on Pay Vote. For more information, see “Executive Compensation – 2023 Say on Pay Vote and Stockholder Engagement ” below. Overall, the engagement meetings were positive and constructive with many investors expressing appreciation for the Company’s strategy and new executive team, and additional discussion concerning the compensation plans. The Company continually evaluates enhancements to its corporate governance, ESG and executive compensation practices, and appreciates engaging with key stakeholders, including stockholders, in the evaluation of these enhancements.

Baliff, Browning, Hyle and Long, qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as defined by the SEC and also satisfy the Nasdaq Stock Market’s financial sophistication requirements.

• Governance and Nominating Committee. The Governance and Nominating Committee (“Governance Committee”) oversees the corporate governance policies for the Company and identifies, screens, recruits and recommends to the board of directors candidates to serve as directors. The Governance Committee makes recommendations concerning the composition of the board of directors and its committees, considers any corporate governance issues that arise and develops appropriate recommendations, develops specific criteria for director independence, and assesses the effectiveness of the board of directors. The board of directors adopted a charter for the Governance Committee.

The Governance Committee considers industry knowledge and other business expertise, personal traits such as character, integrity and wisdom, and the candidate’s understanding of business operations, marketing, finance or other aspects relevant to the success of a large publicly traded corporation in today’s business environment, among other factors, when evaluating candidates for the Company’s board of directors.

The Governance Committee endeavors to have a board of directors representing diverse backgrounds and possessing a wide range of professional experience in areas that are relevant to the Company’s business and its status as a public company. To that end, the Governance Committee considers diversity in a broad sense when identifying nominees, looking primarily for diversity in professional experiences and skills, but also considering other dimensions of diversity, including race, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, nationality and cultural background. Director searches in recent years have specified that candidates should provide diversity to the Board in addition to specific experience and skill sets being sought; the individuals considered by the Governance Committee in these searches have included diverse candidates, and it is expected that future director searches will continue this practice. Two of the four most recent additions to the board of directors enhanced its gender and racial diversity. These considerations ensure the board of directors is comprised of individuals who are able to contribute a variety of viewpoints, which the Governance Committee believes is an important component in ensuring that the Board exercises good judgment and diligence.

The Governance Committee evaluates and recommends individual director candidates in the context of the needs and then-current make-up of the Board as a whole. The objective is to recommend individuals who will, acting as a group, contribute to the success of the Company’s business and advancement of stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment.

The Governance Committee regularly assesses whether any vacancies are expected due to retirement or otherwise, and the need for particular expertise on the Board. Candidates may come to the attention of the Governance Committee from current directors, stockholders, professional search firms, officers or other persons. The Governance Committee considers individuals recommended by stockholders in the same manner and to the same extent as it considers director nominees identified by other means. All candidates are reviewed in the same manner regardless of the source of the recommendation.

• Compensation and Human Capital Committee. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee (“Compensation Committee”) advises management and makes recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation and other employment benefits of the named executive officers of the Company. The Compensation Committee also oversees the Company’s long-term incentive and annual incentive programs for executive officers and employees. The board of directors adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee. The board of directors determined that all of

the Compensation Committee’s members are independent of management as contemplated by the current listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market, and are also independent under SEC rules, including SEC Rule 16b-3. For more information regarding the Compensation Committee’s processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive compensation, see the “ Compensation Discussion and Analysis ” later in this Proxy Statement.

• Risk Committee. The Risk Committee oversees the Company’s policies and processes related to risk identification, assessment, monitoring and management, including the establishment of a comprehensive risk framework for the Company and setting and monitoring the risk appetite of the Company. See “ Risk Oversight ” above. The board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Risk Committee, including the Chairman, are “independent” directors. The board of directors adopted a written charter for the Risk Committee.

Additional Governance Matters

Communications with the Board

Stockholders may communicate with the board of directors, including the non-management directors, by sending an e-mail to bod@texascapitalbank.com or by sending a letter to the board of directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc., 2000 McKinney Avenue, 7 th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75201. The Corporate Secretary has the authority to disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications. If deemed an appropriate communication, the Corporate Secretary will submit stockholder correspondence to the chairman of the board or to any specific director to whom the correspondence is directed.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of its directors and employees, including its CEO, CFO, and Chief Accounting Officer. The Code of Conduct is available on the Company’s website at https://investors.texascapitalbank.com/governance-responsibility/governance-documents/default.aspx. Any amendments to, or waivers from, the Code of Conduct applicable to the executive officers will be posted on the Company’s website within four days of such amendment or waiver.

Director Compensation

Director Compensation Process

The Company’s director compensation program is intended to enhance its ability to attract, retain and motivate non-employee directors of exceptional ability and to promote the common interest of directors and stockholders in enhancing the value of common stock. The Board reviews director compensation at least annually based on recommendations by the Compensation Committee (in consultation with the Governance Committee). The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage a consulting firm to evaluate director compensation and since 2018 has engaged Pearl Meyer to assist in setting director compensation. The Compensation Committee reviews director compensation taking into account multiple factors, including pay practices at publicly traded companies, continued expansion of director, committee chair and board chair responsibilities, and the growing time commitment. The Committees and the Board base their determinations on director compensation on recommendations from Pearl Meyer and on market practices and reviewing trends at other S&P 500 companies and compensation peer companies (outlined below). The Compensation Committee continues to look at the structure of Board compensation to more align with industry and peer groups. The Board approved a new director compensation package effective April 19, 2022. Under the Company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan, approved by stockholders in 2022, with respect to any one calendar year, the aggregate compensation that may be granted to any individual non-employee director, including all meeting fees, cash retainers and retainers granted in the form of awards, shall not exceed $500,000; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, make exceptions to such limit in extraordinary circumstances if it determines in its sole discretion that such exception is advisable.

2023 Director Compensation

For service on the board of directors in 2023, non-employee directors were paid an annual retainer of $70,000. Also, the Chair of the Board is entitled to an additional $90,000 per year for serving in that role. Directors serving as chair of the Audit Committee and Risk Committee received an additional $30,000 per year for serving in those roles, and the directors chairing the Compensation Committee and Governance Committee received an additional $25,000 per year for serving in those roles. Directors serving on a committee, but not serving as chair, received an additional $10,000 per year for serving in those roles.

In addition to cash retainer fees, each non-employee director received an annual grant of RSUs with an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $80,000 at the April 2023 board meeting, which vest in full one year from the grant date on April 18, 2024.

Mr. Holmes is also a director of the Company but he receives no separate compensation for his service as a director. His compensation is included in the “ 2023 Summary Compensation Table ” below.

(A) Amounts represent meeting fees paid upon attendance of board and committee meetings, annual retainer fees and fees for service as chairman of the board or a committee.

(B) Amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of time-based RSUs, determined in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 718. On April 18, 2023, the then currently serving directors (including Ms. Whitley) received 1,631 RSUs, with a grant date fair value of $49.05 per share, which will vest in full on April 18, 2024. Messrs. Hyle and Browning elected to defer vesting of 100% of their award of such units until their respective date of separation from the Board. Ms. Arbour elected to defer vesting of 100% of her award of such units until the earlier of 5 years from the date such awarded units become vested units, or the date of separation from the Board.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Board established stock ownership guidelines for directors to further align their interests with the long-term interests of stockholders. Directors are expected to beneficially own shares of common stock having a value of at least five times the cash portion of the annual retainer paid to outside directors. The types of securities that count toward the required ownership guideline include (i) shares of common stock owned outright, whether individually or through beneficial ownership in a trust or entity, and (ii) vested or unvested time-based RSUs. Directors may not dispose of any such shares unless they own, and will continue to own, common stock with a value at or above that level. As of the computation date, December 31, 2023, all of the then current independent directors had attained the minimum stock ownership levels based on holdings, except for Ms. Arbour, who joined the Board in 2021, and Ms. Whitley, who joined the Board in 2023.

Whitley’s Form 4 was filed on April 24, 2023 with respect to her initial equity award granted on April 18, 2023, due to a delay in obtaining Ms. Whitley’s SEC filer codes, and (2) Elysia Holt Ragusa’s Form 4 was inadvertently filed late on September 6, 2023 with respect to a transaction she made on August 28, 2023.

						Audit Matters

AUDIT MATTERS

Audit Committee Report

The purpose of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Company’s processes related to financial and regulatory reporting, internal control, and regulatory and legal compliance. This includes the internal controls over financial and regulatory reporting of the Company, the audits and financial statements of the Company and the performance, independence and qualifications of the independent auditor and internal auditors of the Company. The Audit Committee serves as the primary communication link among the Board, the independent public accounting firm, and the Company’s internal auditors. The Audit Committee also oversees the Trust Department and receives regular updates. As noted above, the Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the board of directors, and each member has been determined by the Board to be independent under applicable legal requirements.

Company management is responsible for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of disclosure controls and procedures and the internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the Company’s management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed pursuant to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard, Communications with Audit Committees, and as required by the SEC. The Audit Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm under applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding communication with audit committees concerning independence, and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the firm’s independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of non-audit services to the Company by Ernst & Young LLP is compatible with maintaining their independence, and has determined that such independence has been maintained.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, to be filed with the SEC on February 13, 2024.

The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm each year and determines whether to re-engage the current firm or consider other audit firms. In doing so, the Audit Committee considers the quality and efficiency of the services provided by the registered public accounting firm, along with their capabilities, technical expertise, and knowledge of the Company’s operations and industry. Based on these evaluations, the Audit Committee decided to engage Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2024.

This report is submitted on behalf of the Audit Committee of the board of directors of Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.

Auditor Fees and Services

The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to continue as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year. Fees for professional services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in each of the last two fiscal years, in each of the following categories, were:


(in thousands)	2023		2022
Audit fees	$	2,955	$	2,282
Audit-related fees	250		—
Tax fees	645		501
Total	$	3,850	$	2,783

Fees for audit services include fees associated with the audit of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting, the review of periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Qs, comfort letters, accounting consultations billed as audit services and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory or regulatory filings or engagements. Tax fees included various federal, state and local tax compliance services, as well as tax consultations.

Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee adopted a policy that requires advance approval of all audit, audit-related and tax services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm. The policy provides for pre-approval by the Audit Committee of specifically defined audit and non-audit services. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to perform it. The Audit Committee delegated to the chairman of the Audit Committee authority to approve permitted services provided that the chairman reports any decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

PROPOSAL TWO – Ratification of the Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee appointed Ernst & Young LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Company is seeking stockholder ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP for fiscal year 2024. Stockholder ratification of the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by the Company’s bylaws, state law or otherwise. However, the board of directors is submitting the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to the Company’s stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP, the Audit Committee will consider this information when determining whether to retain Ernst & Young LLP for future services. Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from the Company’s stockholders. See the discussion at “ Auditor Fees and Services ” above for information regarding the services provided to the Company by Ernst & Young LLP.

Proposal Two requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting.

The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered

public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024.

						Executive Compensation

PROPOSAL THREE – Advisory Approval of the Company’s Executive Compensation

In accordance with the requirements of Rule 14a-21(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Company is providing stockholders with an advisory vote to approve executive compensation on an annual basis, commonly referred to as a “Say on Pay” vote. The Company has held a say on pay vote annually since the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Company believes that its executive compensation programs effectively align the interests of its named executive officers, or NEOs, with those of its stockholders by creating a combination of incentive compensation arrangements, in both cash and equity-based programs, which are directly tied to performance and creation of stockholder value, coupled with a competitive level of base compensation. The Company's objective is that the NEOs should have a substantial portion of total compensation derived from performance-based incentives.

At the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company received the affirmative support of 67.1% of votes cast in favor of its 2022 executive compensation. In response to the stockholder vote, and after engaging with stockholders and stockholder advisory firms during the Company’s Fall 2023 engagement, the Committee made changes to the disclosure of the Company’s executive compensation programs. See “ 2023 Say on Pay Vote and Stockholder Engagement ” below.

The Board values stockholders’ opinions, and, as in prior years, the Board intends to evaluate the results of the 2024 vote when making future decisions regarding compensation of the NEOs. The Company encourages you to carefully review the “ Executive Compensation ” section of this Proxy Statement and particularly the “ Compensation Discussion and Analysis ” for a detailed discussion of the Company’s executive compensation programs.

This annual advisory vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the Company’s NEOs and the policies and practices with respect to their compensation described in this Proxy Statement. Your vote on Proposal Three is advisory and, therefore, not binding on the Company, the board of directors or the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. This advisory vote may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board, nor create or imply any additional fiduciary duty of the Board.

The Company is asking stockholders to indicate their approval, on an advisory basis, for the 2023 compensation paid to the Company’s NEOs by voting FOR the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the 2023 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to SEC Regulation S-K, Item 402, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and the narrative executive compensation disclosures to the compensation tables included in this Proxy Statement.

Proposal Three requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock present, in person or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote on the proposal at the Annual Meeting.

The board of directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” approval of this resolution.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the objectives and elements of the Company’s executive compensation program, its alignment with performance decisions regarding named executive officers and actions of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee (“Compensation Committee”). In view of the Company’s competitive performance and historical earnings levels and earnings growth, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and practices have been successful in attracting and retaining talented, dedicated executive officers and providing them with competitive compensation levels that are properly aligned with stockholder interests.

2023 Say on Pay Vote and Stockholder Engagement

The Company’s annual Say on Pay vote is one of the opportunities to receive feedback from stockholders regarding the Company’s executive compensation program, and as such is taken very seriously by the Compensation Committee and the Board. The Company’s fiscal 2022 executive compensation program received the support of approximately 67.1% of the votes cast at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. This reflected an increase in support from the prior year, but at a level below the Company’s goal, which indicated that there was an opportunity to understand stockholders’ feedback and take action to be responsive. As a result, the Company continued to actively seek feedback from stockholders, reaching out to stockholders during the fall of 2023 owning more than 66.7% of the outstanding common stock, and speaking with stockholders holding approximately 37% of the common stock, to better understand what motivated their votes and attempt to address any ongoing concerns. In addition, several of the top holders who the Company reached out to indicated that they did not need to meet with the Company this year (for a total of 51.7%).

Three directors – the Chairman (Mr. Stallings), the Compensation Committee Chair (Mr. Tremblay), and a Compensation Committee member (Mr. Rosenberg) – and members of executive management, participated in conversations with stockholders owning approximately 37% of the common stock. Overall, the engagement meetings were positive and constructive, with many investors expressing appreciation for the milestone accomplishments under the Company’s 2021 strategic plan, the build-out of the executive team, and additional discussion concerning the compensation plans. All feedback was shared with the Compensation Committee and the board of directors and helped to shape changes made to the Company’s executive compensation program disclosure, as set forth below and elsewhere in this CD&A.

Through this engagement, the Company learned that stockholders were largely supportive of the executive compensation program design for fiscal 2022, which was the subject of the Say on Pay Vote at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. Furthermore, stockholders appreciated the Company’s responsiveness to their prior feedback concerning enhanced disclosure regarding prior year payout determinations and the annual incentive plan structure. Stockholders wanted to further understand Mr. Holmes’ total fiscal year 2022 compensation package, even though it was substantially lower than the prior year, when he was hired. During these conversations, the Board discussed the components of Mr. Holmes’ 2022 compensation, including the methodology and rationale for setting the levels of his target short- and long-term compensation, and the amounts awarded as 2022 incentive compensation. The Board explained the importance of the Company substantially achieving certain of the goals of the 2021 strategic plan during 2022 and the reasons

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 56


						Executive Compensation

for the attendant compensation levels.

The Board also specifically discussed with stockholders the changes for 2023 to a more financial-based annual incentive plan design (70% weighting) and explained that the Company would disclose in this Proxy Statement the minimum, target and maximum hurdles for the two financial performance measures, together with the actual achievement and the payout. Stockholders appreciated that there were more quantitative metrics in the 2023 annual incentive plan than in prior years.

The Board also discussed with stockholders the remaining performance measures used in the annual incentive plan and the performance measures used in the 2023 long-term (equity) incentive plan (with a three-year performance period). Several stockholders understood the need for qualitative metrics to continue to be included in the annual incentive plan given the turnaround of the Company and the time horizon required to create long-term value but equally expressed a preference for the additional quantitative measures over the fiscal 2022 incentive plans. Stockholders asked for earlier disclosure of the metrics and general targets for incentive plans, and more detailed disclosure around the strategic objectives included in the annual incentive plan.

The Compensation Committee and the Board greatly value these engagements with stockholders and are committed to maintaining ongoing dialogue and incorporating stockholder feedback into the design of the executive compensation program going forward.

The following table summarizes feedback themes heard from stockholders and actions taken to be responsive:


What the Board Heard			Our Perspective and How the Board Responded
Preference for more disclosure, including more narrative on the individual NEOs’ performance on the management strategic objectives considered by the Compensation Committee as a component of the annual incentive plan			Additional disclosure on the individual NEOs’ performance on the management strategic objectives is included in this Proxy Statement. See “Performance Assessment” and “Individual Performance Summaries”
General preference for more quantitative performance measures in the Company’s short- and long-term incentive plans			The Company’s 2023 annual incentive (bonus) plan now has a significant amount of the performance bonus potential based on financial metrics. The 2023 plan utilized Return on Average Assets (35% weighting) and Efficiency Ratio (35% weighting) as the financial metrics. The remaining 30% of the short-term incentive plan potential was based on the NEOs’ individual performance on management strategic objectives customized for each NEO (30% weighting) based on four themes: Employer of Choice, Earn the Right, Financial Resilience and First Call. Strategic Objectives were included to allow the Compensation Committee to consider the Company’s progress on its 2021-announced strategic plan. The long-term (equity) incentive plan performance measures for the PRSUs awarded in 2023 were ROTCE (60% weighting) and Relative TSR (40% weighting) over a 3-year performance period (no change from 2022)

Preference for enhanced disclosure of the incentive compensation metrics applied and the rationale behind these decisions			It is Company policy to disclose the actual performance hurdles for the short- and long-term performance metrics after the performance period has concluded. This Proxy Statement includes the detailed plan hurdles and performance for the 2023 short-term incentive plan and the 2021 long-term incentive plan (PRSU) awards, for which the performance periods recently concluded. For more information about the rationale for our performance metrics, see “ Performance Assessment Framework” and “Compensation Determination Framework ”

Future advisory votes on executive compensation and continued dialogue with stockholders will continue to serve as an additional tool to guide the board and the Compensation Committee in evaluating the alignment of the Company’s executive compensation program with the interests of the Company and its stockholders.

						Executive Compensation

Executive Compensation Supports Business Transformation

The Compensation Committee continues to make changes to the Company’s executive compensation program to reflect the transformation of the Company and its long-term strategic goals. The Compensation Committee views executive compensation as instrumental in the Company’s ability to drive stockholder value through plans and programs that reinforce shared success, serve to attract the talent needed to effectively develop and execute on the Company’s strategic priorities, align the interests of executives with those of stockholders over the short-, medium-, and long-term, and discourage imprudent or excessive risk-taking and hold individuals accountable, as appropriate.

Enhancements to the Compensation Program

To foster and reinforce alignment between the interests of the NEOs and those of stockholders, the Compensation Committee made a number of enhancements to the Company’s executive compensation program, specifically:


Changed Annual (Cash) Incentive Compensation Plan Design						For 2022: Evaluating Company performance across 14 different financial metrics. 40% of incentive target based on financial metrics; 60% of incentive target based on achievement of key strategic initiatives (2/3 on achievement of Four Top CEO Strategic Goals, and the remainder on other Company Strategic Goals). A high percentage of annual plan goals were dedicated to strategic measures to assure continued progress on implementation of the 2021 strategic plan. For 2023: Performance measures have substantially greater emphasis on quantitative measures: Financial Measures (70% weighting): Return on Average Assets (35% weighting) and Efficiency Ratio (35% weighting), and Management Strategic Objectives (30% weighting). MSOs are customized for each NEO based on four Company-wide strategic goals. See “ Performance Assessment Framework ” below. For 2024: No change.

Long-Term (Equity) Incentive Compensation Plan Design						For 2022: Replaced EPS and substituted Three-Year Average ROTCE (at 60% weighting) as the primary performance measure. Maintained Relative TSR against peers (at 40% weighting). These performance measures were included in a performance-based RSU over a three-year performance period (50% of the award). Remaining 50% of the award was time-based RSUs vesting ratably over 3 years. For 2023: No change: Performance measures were Three-Year Average ROTCE (60% weighting) and Relative TSR against peers (40% weighting) over a 3-year performance period. The performance hurdles for the full three-year performance period were determined at the time of grant. For 2024: No change, except that Relative TSR will be measured against the KBW Regional Bank Index, instead of a peer group of banks.

Adopted Enhanced Recoupment and Forfeiture Policy						The Company’s recoupment policy was expanded in 2023 to comply with NASDAQ listing standards and, among other things, and now covers both cash incentive and equity awards made in the prior 4 years to designated classes of employees, including the NEOs, requiring return, reimbursement and/or forfeiture of awards (or return of the proceeds received from the sale of equity awards) in case (1) of a financial restatement due (a) to the gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud by a current or former employee, or (b) to a material financial reporting violation under the federal securities laws, (2) the Company suffers extraordinary financial loss, reputational damage or similar adverse impact resulting from the acts or omissions made by the employee, or (3) of an act or omission of a covered employee that constitutes a violation of a Company policy or a non-competition, non-solicitation or other restrictive covenant.

2						Performance Assessment and Compensation Determination Framework

To make compensation decisions that drive sustained stockholder value, the Compensation Committee provides strong oversight and relies on a sound set of compensation principles, a disciplined performance assessment framework, consultation by and engagement of an independent advisor, and is informed by market data.

Committee Oversight

The Compensation Committee oversees the Company’s executive compensation programs. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an “independent director” as defined by the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Standards and SEC rules. With approval of the Board, the Compensation Committee developed and applies a compensation philosophy that focuses on a combination of competitive base salary and incentive compensation, including cash and equity-based programs, which are directly tied to performance and creation of stockholder value. That philosophy includes the tenet that a significant amount of the executive’s compensation should be variable.

The Compensation Committee meets throughout the year, including formal meetings, informal conferences and discussions with other directors, management and consultants. The Compensation Committee works with executive management, primarily the CEO, to assess the compensation approach and compensation levels for the executive officers and key employees other than the CEO. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the overall executive compensation programs, philosophy and objectives of the Company. The Compensation Committee establishes objectives for the Company’s CEO and sets the CEO’s compensation based, in part, on the evaluation of market data provided by its independent compensation consultant as well as Board approved financial plans for the Bank. The Compensation Committee also reviews and recommends to the Board the Company’s annual and long-term incentive plans for executive officers. Additional Compensation Committee oversight responsibilities are included in its Committee charter.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews the Company’s compensation programs to ensure that compensation levels and incentive opportunities are competitive and reflect performance, and do not incentivize excessive risk taking. Factors considered in assessing the compensation of individual officers may include the Company’s overall performance, the officer’s experience, performance and contribution to the Company, the achievement of strategic goals, external equity and market value, internal equity, fairness and retention. There are no material differences in compensation policies and approach among the NEOs, as all relate primarily to performance and contribution in achieving consolidated results. In the case of the NEOs other than the CEO, the CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding salary increases, annual incentive amounts and total compensation levels.

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 60


						Executive Compensation

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Company provides a compensation package for the NEOs that is primarily driven by the overall economic performance of the Company and progress on the Company’s transformational strategic plan, together with a focus on the performance of each executive, which the Company believes impacts its overall long-term profitability. The objectives of the Company’s executive compensation programs are:

• to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers by providing total compensation opportunities that are competitive with those provided in the industry and commensurate with the Company’s business strategy and performance objectives;

• to provide incentive and motivation for the executive officers to enhance stockholder value by linking their compensation to the value of common stock;

• to provide an appropriate mix of fixed and variable pay components to establish a “pay-for-performance” oriented compensation program, and requiring a significant amount of the executive’s compensation to be variable (See “ 2023 Target Pay Mix” below); and

• to provide competitive compensation opportunities and financial incentives without imposing excessive risk to the Company, and to ensure that appropriate standards related to asset quality, capital management and expense management are maintained.

The Compensation Committee targets total compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers to be aligned with the 50 th percentile of the Company’s peer group and market. Some executive officers may be below the 50 th percentile, while some may be above, depending on the facts and circumstances of each executive including experience, time in position and performance.

The Compensation Committee believes that the direct ownership of substantial amounts of common stock combined with stock-settled incentives combine to strongly align the interests of the Company’s senior executive officers with the interests of stockholders. The Company’s NEO compensation arrangements place a large amount of each individual’s future compensation “at risk” relative to the performance of the Company’s common stock. NEOs’ significant investments in common stock, as required by the Company’s executive stock ownership guidelines, which were expanded in 2022, also make executives sensitive to declines in stock price.

The Compensation Committee generally considers the returns realized by stockholders through increases or decreases in the price of the Company’s common stock in the course of establishing NEO equity incentive compensation performance targets and in determining annual incentive compensation and vesting of long-term performance-based incentives.

The Company’s long-term performance-based incentives are earned based on achievement of performance measures. These performance measures are based on the Company’s financial performance and take into account the importance of balancing the risk appetite and risk management framework established by the board of directors, regulatory expectations for safe and sound operation of a federally insured bank and the desire and ability of executive leadership and employees to achieve long-term, sustainable growth in stockholder value.

Performance Assessment

The cornerstone of the compensation program is the performance assessment, which is guided by a robust performance assessment framework, supported by a process overseen by the Compensation Committee, and directly drives the outcome of incentive compensation awarded.

Performance Assessment Process

The Compensation Committee directly oversees the performance management of the named executive officers and approves their compensation after considering overall performance against their annual objectives. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the annual financial and non-financial performance objectives set by the CEO. These objectives are aligned with the Company’s strategic plan, risk

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 61


						Executive Compensation

appetite, and risk and control framework. The objectives then flow through to each named executive, who establishes aligned goals that are reviewed by the Compensation Committee.

For the Company performance component, the Compensation Committee evaluates Company results after the end of the performance year, taking into account financial outcomes, consistency with the strategic plan and risk appetite, prior year performance, and execution of key initiatives and other qualitative factors. The CEO and the Compensation Committee assess Company performance as a starting point for determining compensation for named executive officers. Additional details on the Company performance determination for 2023 are discussed under “ Company Performance ” above.

For the individual performance and risk accountability (risk overlay) components, at the end of a performance period, the CEO evaluates the performance of the other named executive officers against their objectives. The performance evaluation of each named executive officer includes performance related to risk accountability, group financial performance, quantitative measurable achievements on financial and strategic goals, and overall management effectiveness. For Mr. Holmes, a formal performance assessment framework, including quantitative and qualitative objectives, was used to assess his performance and determine his compensation for the 2023 performance year.

Performance Assessment Framework

The Company’s performance assessment framework evaluates the performance of the named executive officers on the basis of the following categories:

Strategic Performance						• Reflects execution by the NEOs against Management Strategic Objectives, tailored for each NEO’s role, based on the following four strategic goals: ▪ Employer of choice in Texas for people interested in growing their career in financial services ▪ Strong execution on the core set of financial products coupled with industry expertise and higher touch service that earns us the right to provide advice when it counts ▪ Financially resilient bank that is easy to do business with and is both proactive and responsive to client, employee and community needs ▪ Build trusted relationships in our core markets and industries that leads us to being a “ first call ” from top clients and prospects

Within the performance assessment framework, named executive officers have actionable and measurable objectives that are used by the CEO in connection with his recommendations to the Compensation Committee for its consideration and to assess and provide ongoing feedback on performance.

Compensation Determination Framework

The determination of actual annual incentive compensation for 2023 was determined by the Compensation Committee based on a holistic assessment of Company performance, individual performance, and risk accountability. Each named executive officer has a base salary and total incentive compensation target (comprised of annual cash bonus and long-term equity targets), which are established by the Compensation Committee after careful consideration of market data from the Company’s Market Peer Group, the value and importance of the role to the organization, key differentiating factors, and input from the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

Based on the factors set forth above, including an overall performance assessment, the Compensation Committee determined each named executive’s total incentive compensation for 2023. Consistent with the

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 62


						Executive Compensation

compensation principles of paying for performance and promoting effective risk management, the Compensation Committee weights target incentive compensation opportunities – and thus incentive compensation awards – more heavily toward compensation that vests over time, pays out based on performance that creates long-term value, and is subject to forfeiture or recovery (as appropriate). See “ Pay Practices ” for further detail.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer as its independent executive compensation consulting firm for 2023 to provide:

• expertise on compensation strategy and program design;

• information relating to the selection of the Company’s peer group and compensation practices employed by the peer group and overall market;

• advice regarding structuring and establishing executive compensation plans or arrangements that are aligned with the objectives of the Company and the interests of stockholders;

• recommendations to the Compensation Committee concerning the existing executive compensation programs and changes to such programs; and

• benchmarking of director pay.

Pearl Meyer provided its executive compensation consulting services under the direction of the Compensation Committee and did not provide any additional services to the Company (other than a review of director pay for the Board). Management provides input to the compensation consultant but does not direct or oversee its activities with respect to the Company’s executive compensation programs. In order not to impair the independence of the compensation consultant, or create the appearance of an impairment, the Committee follows a policy that the compensation consulting firm may not provide other services to the Company. The Compensation Committee has evaluated Pearl Meyer’s independence, including the factors relating to independence specified in Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules, and determined Pearl Meyer to be independent.

Compensation Peer Group

The Compensation Committee works with the independent compensation consultant to collect and review competitive market compensation practices. As one point of reference, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation practices for a peer group of publicly traded banks and bank holding companies of comparable size. The peer group used in evaluating and setting 2023 NEO target compensation included the following:


Associated Banc-Corp			Hancock Whitney Corporation
BankUnited, Inc.			Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc.
Bank OZK			Prosperity Bancshares Inc.
BOK Financial Corporation			Simmons First National Corporation
Comerica Incorporated			Synovus Financial Corp.
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc.			Western Alliance Bancorporation
F.N.B. Corporation			Wintrust Financial Corporation

Pearl Meyer conducted a review of the Company’s peer group in mid-2023 and, based on that review, no changes were made to the peer group.

2023 Annual Incentive Plan Performance Summary

The Compensation Committee assessed the Company’s performance as a factor for determining incentive compensation award levels for the named executive officers. In evaluating fiscal 2023 performance, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s performance on two financial performance measures, Return on Average Assets (“ROAA”) (35% weighting) and Efficiency Ratio (35% weighting), and a series of management strategic objectives customized for each NEO (30% weighting).

The Compensation Committee assessed performance on the two financial metrics at an aggregate 35% of target, with target representing estimated expected performance levels. For additional information of the performance on the financial goals, see “ Elements of the Compensation Program – Annual Incentive Compensation ” below.

The Compensation Committee determined aggregate individual NEO performance on the management strategic objectives from 80% to 150% of target with differences in the strategic performance measures applied to each of the NEOs based on specific individual contributions. The key achievements leading to the Compensation Committee’s decisions include:

• Securing the resiliency of the firm in the wake of regional bank failures

• Core capital priorities regarding client selection and full wallet relationships were also accelerated

• Capital use towards supporting franchise accretive client segments where the firm is delivering its entire platform

• Strong execution on platform build and go-to-market

• Multi-year reallocation of expense into more productive uses after periods of investment

• Favorable capital metrics relative to peers

4						Pay Practices

Elements of the Compensation Program

The following table sets forth a high-level summary of named executive officer direct pay elements and key design features for 2023 related compensation. The Company’s variable compensation program is composed of an annual incentive cash bonus and long-term equity, both of which are directly tied to Company and individual performance.

Compensation paid upon the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units is based on Company performance over a three-year performance period. For 2023, Mr. Holmes and the other executive officers received half of their long-term equity in the form of performance-based RSUs and the other half in time-based RSUs. The Compensation Committee believes a mix of performance-based and time-based awards is consistent with peer company compensation practices and appropriately balances driving long-term Company performance and retaining the senior leadership needed to advance the Company’s transformation. The Compensation Committee will continue to evaluate the appropriate mix of long-term equity awarded to the Company’s senior leaders, including the CEO, and the performance metrics, for alignment with the Company’s strategy priorities at the time.

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 71


						Executive Compensation

Base Salary

Base salaries are designed to compensate executive officers for their roles and responsibilities and to provide competitive levels of fixed compensation that reflects their experience, duties and scope of responsibilities. The Company pays competitive base salaries to recruit and retain executives of the quality necessary to ensure its success. Base salaries for the NEOs are subject to annual review, but are not always adjusted on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee determines the appropriate level and timing of changes in base compensation for all of the NEOs, and for NEOs other than the CEO, based on the recommendation of the CEO. In making determinations of salary levels for the NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers the entire compensation package for each NEO, including annual incentive compensation and equity-based compensation provided under the Company’s long-term incentive compensation plan.

The Compensation Committee determines the level of periodic salary increases after reviewing:

• the qualifications, experience and performance of each NEO;

• the compensation paid to persons having similar duties and responsibilities in the Company’s peer group companies; and

• the nature of the Company’s business, the complexity of its activities and the importance of the executive’s experience to the success of the business.

After considering these factors and discussing proposed salaries for the other NEOs with the CEO, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, no change to annual salaries for the NEOs then serving in February 2023, except Mr. Scurlock whose base salary was increased by $100,000 (annual rate) beginning March 1, 2024.

Annual Incentive Compensation

The Company provides annual cash incentive opportunities to motivate and reward the NEOs for achievement of financial results as well as strategic and business objectives. A target bonus opportunity is set for each NEO as a percentage of base salary, with the percentage varying depending on their position. For 2023, the annual incentive target amounts for the NEOs were as follows:


Executive Officer	Target Incentive (% of Base Salary)	Target Incentive ($)
Rob C. Holmes	200%	$2,000,000
J. Matthew Scurlock	75%	386,250
John W. Cummings	95%	475,000
Tim J. Storms	90%	472,500
Anna M. Alvarado	80%	456,000

Actual incentive amounts that could be earned by the NEOs for 2023 were based on the level of achievement of performance goals relating to the following key metrics: financial metrics (70% weighting) and management strategic objectives for each NEO (30% weighting).

In addition, in determining the amount of annual incentives earned, the Compensation Committee considers the entire compensation package of each of the NEOs and the performance of that individual and may make discretionary adjustments as are deemed necessary.

The Compensation Committee met in January and February 2024 to consider the Company’s performance against incentive goals for 2023 and to determine the annual incentive bonuses to be paid to the NEOs. For 2023, the following results were achieved and considered in determining NEO incentive compensation:

• An aggregate payout determined at 35% of target for the financial performance goals: Return on Average Assets (35% weighting) and Efficiency Ratio (35% weighting) as described further below

• Achievement of individual NEO performance toward the individualized management strategic objectives and the Compensation Committee approved a range of 80% - 150% of target for this performance measure for the NEOs

2 For purposes of the 2023 annual incentive plan, the Compensation Committee defined Return on Average Assets as GAAP net earnings, adjusted for the FDIC special assessment and certain non-recurring severance expenses, divided by average assets.
3 For purposes of the 2023 annual incentive plan, the Compensation Committee defined Efficiency Ratio as Non-interest expense, adjusted for the FDIC special assessment and certain non-recurring severance expenses, divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income.
4 Percentage of target. No payout on any performance measure if the actual performance is below the Threshold level.

Based on the achievement of the financial, business and individual performance goals described above, the Compensation Committee awarded the following annual incentive plan (bonus) compensation to the NEOs for fiscal year 2023:


Executive Officer	Target Incentive (Bonus) ($)	Aggregate Incentive Earned (% of Target)	Incentive Earned (Bonus) ($)
Rob C. Holmes	$2,000,000	80.0%	$1,600,000
J. Matthew Scurlock	$386,250	80.0%	$309,000
John W. Cummings	$475,000	80.0%	$380,000
Tim J. Storms	$472,500	59.0%	$278,775
Anna M. Alvarado	$456,000	63.4%	$289,252

2023 Performance-Based Equity Awards

Long-term incentive awards for the NEOs include equity-based awards designed to directly align the interests of the NEOs with those of stockholders and to motivate the NEOs to increase the value of the Company to stockholders over the long term. Equity awards were made pursuant to the Company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2022 LTIP”).

The Company made an annual grant of equity awards to each of the NEOs in February 2023 (“2023 NEO equity awards”). The 2023 NEO equity awards consisted of RSUs, 50% of which were performance-based awards and 50% of which were time-based awards. The performance-based RSUs may be earned in amounts ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award, based on the Company’s level of achievement of performance goals relating to (i) Three-Year Average Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE) (60% weighting) and (ii) total stockholder return (“TSR”) relative to the peer group (40% weighting), each for the three-year performance period ending December 31, 2025. The performance-based awards contain a feature limiting the payment for the TSR component. If the Company’s TSR over the performance period is negative, then the payout for that portion of the award shall not exceed 100% of the target shares (instead of the potential 200%). ROTCE is an important metric to determine the operating performance of the Company.

						Executive Compensation

In February 2023, the Compensation Committee set the range of performance expectations for the performance years covered by the performance award. The Company discloses the financial metrics associated with these performance measures in the proxy statement for the year in which the final performance is determined. The time-based RSUs vest ratably over three years, subject to the executive’s continued employment with the Company.

When considering the amount or level of the 2023 NEO equity awards, the Compensation Committee started with an intended target value for each NEO, which was based on a percentage of his or her base salary. The target values for the 2023 NEO equity awards, as a percentage of their respective base salaries, were approximately as follows: Mr. Holmes, 350%, Mr. Scurlock, 107%, Mr. Cummings, 105%, Mr. Storms, 105%, and Ms. Alvarado, 80%. The amounts of the grants were based on a variety of factors deemed relevant by the Compensation Committee, including the Company’s performance, the NEO’s level of responsibility, an assessment of individual performance made by the Committee, including discussion of the performance of the other NEOs with the CEO, and competitive market data.

The number of time-based RSUs and the target number of performance-based RSUs (including the threshold and maximum number of performance-based RSUs that could be earned) granted to each NEO during 2023 are set forth below in the “ 2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table ”.

All of the 2023 equity awards are subject to the Company’s Recoupment and Forfeiture Policy, and the shares received upon vesting are subject to the Company’s equity hold requirements for executives.

Additional Performance Awards Outstanding

2021 Grants of Performance Equity Awards

The Company made an annual grant of equity awards to Mr. Holmes and Mr. Storms in 2021. The 2021 awards were comprised of 50% performance-based RSU awards and 50% time-based RSU awards. The performance-based RSUs may be earned in amounts ranging from 0% to 200% of the target award, based on the Company’s level of achievement of performance goals relating to (i) EPS measured in three one-year periods (60% weighting) and (ii) total stockholder return (“TSR”) relative to the peer group (40% weighting) for the three-year period ending December 31, 2023. EPS is an important metric to determine the operating performance of the Company. See “ Pay Versus Performance ” and “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table ” for additional information.

Based on the Company’s performance on these metrics, the Compensation Committee approved an overall payout of 85.84% of target on the 2021 performance-based RSU awards.

2 Three-year performance period.
3 Percentage of target. No payout on any performance measure if the actual performance is below Threshold.

All of the 2021 equity awards are subject to the Company’s Recoupment and Forfeiture Policy, and the shares received upon vesting are subject to the Company’s equity hold requirements for executives.

						Executive Compensation

Perquisites and Other Compensation

The Compensation Committee intentionally limits perquisites to the executive officers. The Company may pay for relocation-related services for certain of its executives, including temporary housing, moving expenses, and home purchase closing expenses, and use of corporate-provided aircraft in accordance with an aircraft use policy. Beginning in 2022, the Company stopped reimbursing executive officers for club dues and ceased providing a car allowance. See “ Additional Information Concerning Executive Compensation” below. In general, executive benefits make up a very small percentage of total compensation (less than 1%) for the NEOs. The Company does not gross-up payments to cover personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the executive benefits. The Compensation Committee reviews these arrangements regularly to assure they continue to fulfill business needs.

5						Risk Management and Accountability

The Company’s executive compensation program reinforces effective risk management through risk-balancing features that discourage and mitigate excessive risk-taking, and an accountability framework that, under defined conditions, enables the forfeiture or recovery of compensation in the event named executives’ actions, or inactions, result in specified types of negative outcomes for the Company.

Risk-Balancing Features

To discourage imprudent risk-taking, the Company embedded risk-balancing features throughout its compensation program for 2023.


Pay Element			Risk-Balancing Features
Base Salary			• Salaries are a form of fixed compensation • Promotes retention of named executives by providing a basic level of compensation
Short-Term Incentive			• Annual performance (cash) bonus represents minority of variable compensation • Target award opportunity of 200% of base salary for CEO with lower opportunities for other NEOs, with maximum payout of 150% of target • Award level based on achievement of financial goals (70% weighting) and non-financial management strategic objectives (30% weighting), including risk outcomes • Subject to recovery under the Company’s Recoupment and Forfeiture Policy
Long-Term Equity			• Majority of variable compensation delivered in long-term equity • Retirement does not trigger acceleration of payment from the original payment schedule • Shares are subject to a robust holding requirement • Executive officers are prohibited from pledging Company stock in connection with a margin or similar loan and from entering into derivative/hedging transactions involving Company stock • No dividend equivalents are paid or accrued on unvested RSUs • Subject to forfeiture or recovery as described under the Company’s Recoupment and Forfeiture Policy
Performance-Based RSUs			• Long-term, three-year performance period, with cliff vesting • Upside compensation capped, with upside leverage of 200% of target for NEOs • With respect to the 2023 PRSU, if the Company’s TSR over the performance period is negative, then the payout for that portion of the award shall not exceed 100% of the target shares • Subject to downward adjustment by Compensation Committee under a wide variety of circumstances
Time-Based RSUs			• Promotes retention of NEOs by providing shares subject to time-based vesting

Additional information on the Company’s stock ownership and hold requirements and anti-hedging / anti-pledging policies are included under “ Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines ” and “ Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging ” below.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews all compensation plans to identify whether any of the Company’s or the Bank’s compensatory policies or practices incent behavior that creates excessive or unnecessary risk to the Company. The Compensation Committee receives regular updates from management to ensure that the current compensation programs do not create imprudent or excessive risk. Furthermore, periodically, the Compensation Committee conducts a risk assessment with the assistance of its independent compensation consultant. Based on the results of these reviews, the Compensation Committee determined that the Company’s compensation program does not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 76


						Executive Compensation

Compensation Policies

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines include stock ownership guidelines for the CEO and the other NEOs to further align their interests with the long-term interests of stockholders. The CEO is expected to beneficially own common stock having a value of at least six times his or her base compensation (four times for the other NEOs). Such executives may not dispose of any shares of the Company’s common stock unless they own, and will continue to own, common stock at that level. In addition, beginning in 2022, senior executives who are not NEOs have a 3x base salary ownership guideline. The types of securities that count toward the required ownership guideline include only (i) shares of common stock owned outright, whether individually or through beneficial ownership in a trust or entity, (ii) vested or unvested time-based RSUs, and (iii) to the extent vested, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and performance-based RSUs based upon, payable in, or otherwise related to, common stock that are awarded under a Company incentive compensation plan which fluctuate in value based upon the market price of common stock, until such time as they are forfeited, converted into a cash payment or their cash value becomes fixed. As of the computation date, December 31, 2023, only Mr. Holmes, the Company’s President and CEO, had attained the minimum stock ownership levels based on holdings.

Recoupment of Incentive Compensation (Clawback Policy)

The Company’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan and award agreements contain language that makes all awards to executives subject to a recoupment or clawback policy adopted by the Board from time to time. The Board initially adopted a recoupment policy in 2022, and the Board updated, expanded and strengthened the policy on January 18, 2023. Under the updated policy, incentive compensation payable to the Company’s executive officers and certain other executives under certain of the Company’s incentive compensation arrangements will be subject to recoupment and/or cancellation by the Company if, in the year such compensation is paid, or within four years thereafter, the Company (i) is required to prepare a financial restatement due in whole or in part to the gross negligence, intentional misconduct or fraud by a present or former employee, (ii) restates any of its financial statements due to a material financial reporting violation under applicable securities laws, (iii) suffers extraordinary financial loss, reputational damage or similar adverse impact resulting of or from actions taken or decisions made by the employee, or (iv) ascertains an act or omission of a covered employee that constitutes a violation of a Company policy or a non-competition, non-solicitation or other restrictive covenant. The repayment obligation or forfeiture right applies to the extent repayment is required by applicable law, or to the extent the executive’s compensation is determined to be in excess of the amount that would have been payable taking into account any restatement or correction. The Compensation Committee has the sole discretion to determine whether an executive’s actions have or have not met any particular standard of conduct under law or Company policy, and whether recovery of incentive compensation should be pursued. The recoupment (including if the impacted individual fails to timely pay), may be effectuated through the reduction or forfeiture of awards, cancellation of one or more awards in their entirety, the return of paid-out cash or the proceeds from the sale of exercised or released shares, adjustments to future incentive compensation opportunities or any future bonus payment which would have otherwise been payable, any salary payments or other remuneration which are due or would otherwise have been payable.

In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally requires the Company’s CEO and CFO to reimburse the Company for any bonus or other incentive- or equity-based compensation, and any profits on sales of the Company’s stock, that they receive within the 12-month period following the issuance of financial information if there is an accounting restatement because of material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

All Company directors, officers and employees are prohibited from purchasing any financial instrument that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Company securities, and from participating in derivative or speculative transactions with respect to Company securities including, but not limited to, prepaid variable forward contracts, collars, equity swaps, exchange funds, puts, calls and other derivative

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 77


						Executive Compensation

instruments. All directors, officers and employees are also prohibited from participating in short sales of the Company’s securities.

Directors and officers who are reporting persons under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and such additional employees as may be designated by the Governance and Nominating Committee, are prohibited from holding Company securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Limitations on Change in Control Benefits

The Company will not enter into “single trigger” agreements with its executives providing for the payment of benefits or acceleration of rights to compensation following the occurrence of a change in control of the Company solely as a consequence of the change in control. The Company will not enter into agreements with its executives providing for the payment of additional amounts to the executive to reimburse the executive for any excise tax payable by the executive with respect to his or her compensation received in connection with a change in control transaction involving the Company.

No Tax Gross-Ups

The Company does not provide tax gross-ups on perquisites or other Company benefits, except in connection with certain relocation expenses.

Equity Grant Policy

The Company has adopted a Policy concerning the granting of equity awards. Under the Policy, the Company shall not backdate any Equity-Based Award (as defined) or manipulate the timing of the public release of material information or the timing of the grant of an Equity-Based Award. To support this Policy, the Board and the Compensation Committee have adopted specific practices and procedures. Equity-Based Awards include, but are not limited to, common stock, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based equity awards, deferred or phantom stock or units and stock appreciation rights. The annual grant of Equity-Based Awards to the CEO, other executive officers and employees shall be made under usual circumstances on the third business day following the Company’s release of earnings for the previously completed fiscal year, and such date shall serve as the grant date of such awards (unless otherwise specified by the Board or the Compensation Committee). Off-cycle grants of Equity-Based Awards shall have a grant date as determined by the Compensation Committee (or, if delegated to other persons in accordance with the Committee Charter, as reasonably determined by such delegates), and in all cases consistent with applicable laws, rules and regulations. Any annual grant of Equity-Based Awards to non-employee directors shall be made under usual circumstances on the third business day following the Company’s release of earnings for the first quarter of the current fiscal year, and such date shall serve as the grant date of such awards unless the Board (or the Committee, if authorized by the Board) determines otherwise. Non-employee directors who join the Board between annual grant dates will receive upon the date of their appointment a pro-rata grant of equity-based awards (in relation to time to be served between the date of appointment and the next grant date) in consideration for their partial year of service, unless the Board (or the Committee, if authorized by the Board) determines otherwise.

Conclusion

The Compensation Committee believes that the 2023 compensation decisions for the Company’s named executive officers were reasonable and appropriate and consistent with the Company’s compensation principles.

						Executive Compensation

Compensation Governance Best Practices

The Compensation Committee and management periodically review the compensation and benefit programs for the NEOs and other employees to ensure alignment with Company’s and the Compensation Committee’s philosophy and objectives. Accordingly, the Company adopted a number of practices over the last several years that are responsive to stockholder feedback and align with market-recognized best practices:



Governance Practices

ü			Pay for performance, including using a high percentage of performance restricted stock units for the annual equity grant to align interests with stockholders
ü			Provide a significant proportion of NEO compensation in the form of performance-based compensation
ü			Consider an appropriate peer group when establishing compensation, which group is evaluated annually to ensure it remains appropriate
ü			Ongoing investor outreach with stockholders by the Compensation Committee Chair and management to receive their feedback on compensation and governance
ü			Maintain robust anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies
ü			Balance short- and long-term incentives, aligning long-term incentives with future performance and stockholder returns
ü			Include caps on individual payouts in incentive plans
ü			Maintain a broad recoupment and forfeiture policy, which can be triggered by a financial restatement and other individual or corporate behavior
ü			Maintain an equity grant policy covering the timing of equity awards
ü			Maintain stock ownership guidelines requiring CEO to hold 6x base salary (4x for other NEOs)
ü			Apply double-trigger vesting in the event of a change in control in long-term equity awards (i.e., the executive must terminate after the event to receive benefits)
ü			Conduct an annual “ say on pay” advisory vote for stockholders
ü			100% independent directors on the Compensation Committee
ü			Use an independent executive compensation consultant reporting to the Compensation Committee
ü			Review executive compensation consultant and advisors for independence and performance


Practices Avoided
X			No change in control excise tax “ gross-up” agreements
X			No excessive perquisites
X			No tax “ gross-ups” for perquisites, except for relocation benefits
X			No stock option repricing, reloads or exchange without stockholder approval
X			No dividend equivalents paid or accrued on unvested equity awards
X			No excessive risk-taking in compensation programs

In addition to maintaining good corporate governance, the Company has designed the annual incentive plan and long-term incentive plan to be aligned with best practices that mitigate against excessive risk. See “Compensation Risk Assessment” .

Additional Information Concerning Executive Compensation

Other Benefits

Retirement Savings Opportunity. All employees may participate in the Company’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). Each employee may make before-tax contributions of up to 85% of their eligible compensation, subject to current Internal Revenue Service limits. The Company provides a 401(k) Plan to help employees save some amount of their cash compensation for retirement in a tax efficient manner. Since 2006, the Company has matched contributions made by employees to the 401(k) Plan based upon a formula that considers the amount contributed by the respective employee, with a vesting scheduled based upon the employee’s tenure with the Company. The matching contributions for each NEO are set forth in the “ 2023 All Other Compensation Table” . The Company does not provide an option for employees to invest in common stock through the 401(k) Plan. The Company has not historically provided any retirement plans, such as defined benefit, defined contribution, supplemental executive retirement benefits, retiree medical or deferred compensation plans requiring mandatory Company contributions, to employees or the NEOs, other than the 401(k) Plan and the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan described below.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan. The Company offers a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for executives and key members of management to assist us in attracting and retaining these individuals. See “ 2023 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table ” for additional information about this plan.

Severance Benefits. Senior and Key executives of the Company who do not have employment agreements providing for severance, including the NEOs, are eligible for severance benefits in the event of a termination not for cause under the Executive Severance Plan, and for change in control severance benefits in the event of a termination not for cause or for good reason following a change in control under the Executive Change-in-Control Plan. See “ 2023 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control Table ” for additional information about these plans.

Health and Welfare Benefits. All full-time employees, including the NEOs, may participate in the Company’s health and welfare benefit programs, including medical, dental and vision care coverage, disability insurance and life insurance. The Company provides these benefits to meet the health and welfare needs of employees and their families.

Employment Agreement

The Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Holmes effective January 24, 2021. The agreement had an initial term of three years and thereafter automatically renews for successive one-year terms, unless notice of non-renewal is given by either party in accordance with the agreement.

The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Holmes dated January 23, 2023 (the “Amended Holmes Agreement”). The Amended Holmes Agreement is substantially similar to the original agreement except that it has a new initial term of four years (i.e., through January 2027) and thereafter automatically renews for successive one-year terms, unless notice of non-renewal is given by either party in accordance with the agreement. For each year of the term, Mr. Holmes’ compensation will include annual base salary of $1,000,000, an annual target cash incentive opportunity of not less than 200% of base salary, and an annual target long-term incentive award opportunity equal to 350% of base salary. Within 30 days following the effective date of the original agreement, Mr. Holmes received a one-time lump-sum cash payment in the amount of $2,500,000, which was subject to repayment in the event his employment was terminated by the Company for cause or due to his resignation other than for good reason prior to the first anniversary of the effective date, and a one-time grant of 233,755 time-based RSUs, which will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.

The Amended Holmes Agreement terminates upon the executive’s death or disability, upon the executive’s voluntary termination of employment or upon the executive’s termination for cause. “Cause” as defined in the Holmes Agreement includes: (1) theft, embezzlement, fraud or dishonesty; (2) willful or material misrepresentation that relates to the Company or has a material adverse effect on the Company; (3) willful misconduct or gross negligence that is injurious to the Company, including violation of any laws; (4) violation of fiduciary duties; (5) conviction of a felony or crime of moral turpitude; (6) material or repeated violation of

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 80


						Executive Compensation

the Company’s policies; (7) willful failure to perform duties and responsibilities; (8) failure or refusal to follow the lawful directives of the Company; (9) a material breach of agreement; or (10) unlawful use of or possession of illegal drugs on Company premises or while performing duties.

If Mr. Holmes’ employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by non-renewal, or by Mr. Holmes for “good reason,” Mr. Holmes would be entitled to a cash payment equal to 24 months’ base salary, a cash payment equal to 2 times his target annual incentive as defined in the Holmes Agreement and continued medical insurance benefits for 24 months following termination. “Good reason” is defined as (1) a material diminution in position, authority, duties or responsibility; (2) a change of employment location which is more than 35 miles from the Company’s current executive offices; (3) a reduction in salary or incentive opportunity; or (4) the Company’s material breach of agreement.

If in connection with a “change-in-control” of the Company as defined in the Holmes Agreement, Mr. Holmes’ employment is terminated other than for cause, death, or disability or by executive for good reason within a period of two years following the change-in-control, Mr. Holmes would be entitled to a cash payment equal to 3 times his base salary and a cash payment equal to 3 times his target annual incentive.

As a means of providing protection to the Company’s stockholders, under certain adverse conditions such as dissolution, bankruptcy or a distressed sale of the Company’s assets or stock for the purpose of avoiding a bankruptcy proceeding or at the recommendation of regulatory authorities, the Amended Holmes Agreement provides that the above described payments will not occur, except for the cash payments described above that would be owing upon Mr. Holmes’ voluntary termination of employment.

The Holmes Amended Agreement contains other terms and conditions, including non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, confidentiality obligations and restrictions on Mr. Holmes’ ability to be involved with a competing bank or company with a place of business in a location in which the Company is then engaged.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis that is required by the SEC rules with the Company’s management. Based on such review and discussions, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee recommended to the Company’s board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Proxy Statement.

(C) Amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of performance- and time-based RSUs, determined in accordance with ASC 718. With respect to the 2023 NEO equity awards granted on February 9, 2023, 50% of the award is time-based with annual vesting over a three-year period, and 50% of the award is performance-based with vesting occurring on the first administratively practicable day following determination by the Compensation Committee that certain performance targets were achieved over a three-year period ending December 31, 2025. The amounts presented for the performance-based portion of the 2023 NEO equity awards reflect the value of the award at target based on the probable outcome of the performance targets determined as of the grant date. The value of the performance-based portion of the 2023 NEO awards for each NEO at the grant date assuming that the highest levels of performance targets are achieved is as follows: Mr. Holmes $3,939,412, Mr. Scurlock $619,150, Mr. Cummings $590,986, Mr. Storms $619,150, and Ms. Alvarado $513,328. See the “ 2023 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table ” and the “ 2023 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Tabl e” below and applicable stock compensation disclosures in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information. With respect to the 2021 NEO equity awards granted to Mr. Holmes and Mr. Storms, 60% of the award was granted on June 16, 2021 (with respect to TSR over the performance period and the Company’s EPS for 2021) and was included in compensation for 2021. Another 20% of the award was granted on February 3, 2022 with respect to the Company’s EPS for 2022 and was included in the compensation for 2022. The final 20% of the award was granted on February 9, 2023 with respect to the Company’s EPS for 2023 and is performance-based with vesting occurring on the first administratively practicable day following determination by the Compensation Committee that certain performance targets were achieved over a three-year period ending December 31, 2023. The amounts presented in the table above for this 20% portion of the 2021 awards reflect the value of the award at target based on the probable outcome of the performance targets determined as of the grant date. The value of this 20% performance-based portion of the 2021 awards for each NEO at the grant date assuming that the highest levels of performance targets are achieved is as follows: Mr. Holmes $615,370 and Mr. Storms $94,992.

(A) While Company-provided aircraft are generally used for Company business related purposes only, there is occasional personal use. During 2023, in accordance with the firm’s aircraft use policy, Mr. Holmes used Company-provided aircraft for business travel, and for personal travel for which he reimbursed the Company for the incremental cost of the trip. The incremental cost was determined using a method that takes into account the variable costs such as aircraft fuel charges, taxes and catering. In addition, if a Company aircraft flight is already scheduled for business purposes and can accommodate additional passengers, NEOs and their spouse/guests may join that flight for personal travel. The Company does not gross-up payments to cover personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the executives’ benefits. Perquisites and personal benefits were excluded for all of the NEOs to the extent that the total value of all perquisites and personal benefits for an NEO was less than $10,000. In addition, the table does not include any amounts for personal benefits provided to any of the NEOs for which the Company believes there is no aggregate incremental cost to the Company, including use of tickets for certain sporting events.

(B) Includes the following amounts contributed in 2023 as employer match true-ups for prior year contributions: Mr. Holmes, $5,800; Mr. Scurlock, $3,050; Mr. Cummings, $5,795; Mr. Storms, $0, and Ms. Alvarado, $5,475.

The Company offers a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for executives and key members of management to assist us in attracting and retaining these individuals. Participants in the plan may elect to defer up to 75% of their annual salary and/or short-term incentive payout into deferral accounts that mirror the gains or losses of specified investment funds or market indexes selected by the participants. These investment alternatives are similar to the choices under the 401(k) Plan. The gains and losses credited to each participant’s deferral account are subject to the same investment risk as an actual investment in the specified investment funds or market indexes. The Company restores any lost Company match in the 401(k) Plan due to legal limits on qualified plans. In 2023, the Company did not match nonqualified deferred compensation plan contributions. All participant contributions to the plan and any related earnings are immediately vested and may be withdrawn upon the participant’s separation from service, death or disability or upon a date specified by the participant.

						Executive Compensation

Executive Severance Plan

In order to have a competitive benefit that allows for consistent administration without negotiations of special payments, the Company has an executive Severance Plan and related Policy (collectively, the “Severance Plan”) for the NEOs (other than the CEO, whose benefits are covered in his employment agreement). The Severance Plan provides cash payments upon involuntary termination without cause, but is not available in the event of a change in control to individuals that are eligible for change in control benefits under the Change-in-Control Plan described below. See “ 2023 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change In Control Table ” for additional information.

The Severance Plan, adopted in 2021, applies to all executive officers and other eligible employees (other than the CEO), and provides, upon involuntary termination without cause or termination by the executive for good reason (as defined), for the payment of (i) 100% of one year’s base salary for the named executive officer; (ii) 100% times the average of the executive's bonuses over the last two years (or a comparable amount determined by the Company); and (iii) at the Company’s discretion, a current year prorated bonus reduced for the period of time during the year in which the employee was not employed. The Severance Plan also provides for a cash payment to cover the cost of premiums for post-termination health insurance coverage (“COBRA premiums”) for a period of one year from the date of termination and out-placement benefits. As a condition to the receipt of any benefits under the Severance Plan, an executive must agree to standard release, non-compete, non-solicitation, and confidentiality provisions. In addition, the Severance Plan provides that the vesting of long-term incentive or other equity awards upon termination without cause will be governed by the terms of the applicable award agreements. Executives who are involuntarily terminated for any other reason (e.g., death, disability, retirement, termination for cause) are not eligible to receive severance benefits under the Severance Plan.

Change in Control Arrangements

The Company has an executive Change-in-Control Plan and related Policy (collectively, the “Change in Control Plan”) benefiting each of the NEOs (other than the CEO, whose benefits are covered in his employment agreement) to ensure that management will objectively consider potential transactions that may benefit stockholders without regard to potential impact on their continued employment. The Change in Control Plan provides for a cash payment to be made following a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by the NEO with good reason within two years following a change in control. See “ 2023 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change In Control Table ” for additional information.

The Change in Control Plan provides for a payment to be made to these officers following a termination of employment by the Company without cause or by the officer with good reason within two years following a change in control or following the first public announcement of a potential change in control transaction, provided certain conditions are satisfied. These benefits are in lieu of payments under the Severance Plan. Generally, the change in control agreements provide for each executive officer to receive:

• a lump sum payment equal to up to 150% times the sum of:

◦ the named executive officer’s then current annualized base salary, and

◦ the average of the cash bonuses paid by the Company to the NEO for the last two fiscal years preceding the date of termination;

• at the Company’s discretion, a prorated current year bonus award under the annual incentive plan award for the year in which the termination occurs based on actual Company performance;

• a lump sum amount to cover group health and dental coverage for the NEO and his or her dependents for a period of up to eighteen months following the date of termination; and

• out-placement benefits for up to 6 months at the option of the executive officer.

The Change in Control Plan does not contain a tax reimbursement or “gross-up” provision.

						Executive Compensation

In approving the Change in Control Plan, the Compensation Committee considered the prevalence and terms of such agreements among similarly situated executives at the companies in the compensation peer group based on data collected for the Company by the Compensation Committee’s then independent compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee also determined that the agreement and general release of claims contained in the Change in Control Plan provided a significant benefit to the Company.


For purposes of the Change in Control Plan:
			“cause” means (i) misappropriation of funds or property, fraud or dishonesty within the course of providing services to the Company which evidences a want of integrity or breach of trust; (ii) indictment for a misdemeanor that has caused or may be reasonably expected to cause material injury to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of its affiliates or any of their interests, or indictment for a felony; (iii) any willful or negligent action, inaction, or inattention to duties of the executive within the course of providing services to the Company that causes the Company material harm or damages (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company); (iv) misappropriation of any corporate opportunity or otherwise obtaining personal profit from any transaction which is adverse to the interests of the Company or to the benefits of which the Company is entitled; (v) inexcusable or repeated failure by the executive to follow applicable Company policies and procedures; (vi) conduct of the executive which is materially detrimental to the Company (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company); or (vii) any material violation of the terms of the executive’s employment agreement, if any.


			“good reason” means: as defined in the applicable employment agreement or, if none: (i) without his or her express written consent, the assignment of the executive to a position constituting a material demotion, or loss of compensation or job duties by comparison to his or her position with the Company on the Date of Grant; provided, however, that changes, as opposed to a loss, in the executive’s job duties or changes to reporting relationships, at the Board’s discretion, and without a material loss in the executive’s compensation, will not constitute “Good Reason”; (ii) the change of the location where the executive performs the majority of the executive’s job duties on the Date of Grant of the Award (“Base Location”) to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the Base Location, without the executive’s written consent; (iii) a reduction by the Company in the executive’s base salary as in effect on the Date of Grant of the Award, unless the reduction is a proportionate reduction of the compensation of the executive and all other senior officers of the Company as a part of a company-wide effort to enhance the Company’s financial condition; or (iv) after the occurrence of a Change in Control, a significant adverse change in the nature or scope of the authorities, powers, functions, responsibilities, or duties attached to the position(s) with the Company which the executive held immediately before the Change in Control, or a material reduction in total compensation, including incentive compensation, stock-based compensation and benefits received from the Company compared to the total compensation and benefits to which the executive was entitled immediately before the Change in Control.

			“change in control” generally means any one of the following events: (a) any person becoming the beneficial owner of the Company’s securities representing 51% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities (other than as a result of certain issuances or open market purchases approved by incumbent directors); (b) the Company’s incumbent directors ceasing to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors; (c) there is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company (or any direct or indirect subsidiary), other than (i) a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding prior to such transaction continuing to represent at least 51% of the combined voting power of the securities of the surviving entity in the transaction, or (ii) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company in which no person is or becomes the beneficial owner of securities representing 51% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities or (d) approval by the Company’s stockholders of plan of complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company, or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than a sale or disposition to an entity, at least 51% of the combined voting power of its securities are owned by stockholders of the Company in the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such sale. The preceding was a summary of the definition of a change in control, so please refer to actual text of the definition as set forth in the applicable plan.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

No member of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the board of directors of the Company was an officer or employee of the Company during 2023 or any other time. In addition, none of the executive officers of the Company served on the board of directors or on the compensation committee of any other entity, for which any executive officers of such other entity served either on the board of directors or on the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.

						Executive Compensation

2023 CEO PAY RATIO

Item 402(u) of SEC Regulation S-K, implementing a requirement of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, requires that the Company disclose a ratio that compares the annual total compensation of the Company’s median employee to that of the Company’s CEO.

To determine the median employee, the Company prepared a list of all employees as of December 31, 2023, along with their gross income as reported on IRS form W-2 for 2023. Gross income as reported on IRS form W-2 for 2023 was annualized for those employees that were not employed for the full year. After identifying the median employee, the Company calculated that employee’s annual total compensation using the same methodology the Company uses for NEOs as set forth in the “ 2023 Summary Compensation Table ”.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the last completed fiscal year:

• the employee identified at the median of all Company employees (other than the CEO) was a deposit operations team lead.

• the annual total compensation of the median employee was $114,630.

• the total compensation for the CEO, Mr. Holmes, was $6,648,238, as reported in the “Total” column of the “ 2023 Summary Compensation Table ” on page 82 .

• the estimated ratio of the total compensation of Mr. Holmes, the CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 58.0 to 1.

The CEO pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on payroll and employment records and the methodologies and assumptions described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s total annual compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices, which were chosen from a wide range of permissible methodologies, estimates and assumptions. As a result, the CEO pay ratios reported by other companies, which may have employed other permitted methodologies, exclusions, estimates or assumptions, and which may have a significantly different work force structure, geographic locations, or compensation practices from ours, are likely not comparable to the Company’s CEO pay ratio.

1 For 2023 and 2022, Rob C. Holmes served as the sole principal executive officer (“PEO”) of the Company. For 2021, Rob C. Holmes (first PEO) and Larry L. Helm (second PEO) each served as PEOs for a portion of the year, Mr. Holmes from January 24, 2021 to December 31, 2021, and Mr. Helm from January 1, 2021 to January 24, 2021. For 2020, C. Keith Cargill (first PEO) and Larry L. Helm (second PEO) each served as PEOs for a portion of the year, Mr. Cargill from January 1, 2020 to May 25, 2020, and Mr. Helm from May 25, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Mr. Helm, the then Board Chairman, served as interim Chief Executive Officer after Mr. Cargill’s departure until Mr. Holmes’ election as CEO.

2 The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for the Company’s PEOs for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Refer to “ Executive Compensation – Executive Compensation Tables – 2023 Summary Compensation Table ” of this Proxy Statement and the Company’s proxy statements for 2023, 2022 and 2021.

3 The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to the Company’s PEOs, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to such PEOs during the applicable year. Adjustments for prior fiscal years are included in the Company’s 2023 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to the PEO’s total reported compensation for 2023 to determine the compensation actually paid:


Year	Name of PEO	Reported Summary Compensation Table Total For PEO		[Less] Reported Value of Equity Awards (a)		[Plus/Minus] Equity Award Adjustments (b)		[Less] Reported Change in the Actuarial Present Value of Pension Benefits (c)		[Plus/Minus] Pension Benefit Adjustments (d)		[Equals] Compensation Actually Paid to PEO
2023	Rob C. Holmes	$	6,648,238	$	( 4,027,438 )	$	5,026,837	$	—	$	—	$	7,647,637

(a) The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

(b) The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant, except that the Company’s outstanding 2021 NEO performance-based RSUs granted 60% on June 16, 2021, 20% on February 3, 2022, and 20% on February 9, 2023 are calculated using an aggregate performance factor of 85.84 %. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

(c) The amounts included in this column are the amounts reported in the “Change in Pension and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable year.

(d) There were no pension benefits adjustments for the years in the table.

4 The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s named executive officers (NEOs) as a group (excluding persons serving as PEOs) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of each of the NEOs (excluding such PEOs) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2023 and 2022, J. Matthew Scurlock, John W. Cummings, Tim J. Storms and Anna M. Alvarado; (ii) for 2021, Julie L. Anderson, Tim J. Storms and Anna M. Alvarado; and (iii) for 2020, Julie L. Anderson, Vince A. Ackerson and John G. Turpen.

5 The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEOs), as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned by or paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEOs) during the applicable year. Adjustments for prior fiscal years are included in the Company’s 2023 Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the NEOs as a group (excluding the PEOs) for 2023 to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described in Note 3 above:


Year	Average Reported Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO NEOs		[Less] Average Reported Value of Equity Awards		[Plus/Minus] Average Equity Award Adjustments (a)		[Less] Average Reported Change in the Actuarial Present Value of Pension Benefits		[Plus/Minus] Average Pension Benefit Adjustments		Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEOs
2023	$	1,427,590	$	( 564,873 )	$	589,778	$	—	$	—	$	1,452,494

(a) The amounts deducted or added in calculating the total average equity award adjustments are as follows:


Year	Average Year End Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in Current Year		Year over Year Average Change in Fair Value of Outstanding and Unvested Equity Awards		Average Fair Value as of Vesting Date of Equity Awards Granted and Vested in the Year		Year over Year Average Change in Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in Prior Years that Vested in the Year		Average Fair Value at the End of the Prior Year of Equity Awards that Failed to Meet Vesting Conditions in the Year		Average Value of Dividends or other Earnings Paid on Stock or Option Awards not Otherwise Reflected in Fair Value or Total Compensation		Total Average Equity Award Adjustments
2023	$	538,940	$	51,738	$	—	$	3,762	$	( 4,662 )	$	—	$	589,778

6 C umulative TSR is calculated by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the cumulative amount of dividends on the Company’s common stock for the measurement period (if any), assuming dividend reinvestment, and (ii) the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by (b) the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

7 Represents the weighted peer group TSR, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of each period for which a return is indicated. The peer group used for this purpose is the following published industry index: Nasdaq Bank Index (Bloomberg: CBNK), which is the same industry index used in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The NASDAQ Bank Index contains securities of NASDAQ-listed companies classified according to the Industry Classification Benchmark as Banks. They include banks providing a broad range of financial services, including retail banking, loans and money transmissions.

8 The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income available to common stockholders as reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year (in thousands).

9 Earnings per share (EPS) is defined as diluted earnings per common share as reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year. Although the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that EPS is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance.

						Executive Compensation

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. The metrics that the Company uses for both its short-term and long-term (equity) incentive awards are selected based on an objective of incentivizing the Company’s NEOs to increase the value of the enterprise for stockholders. The most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link executive compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, to the Company’s performance, for the most recently completed fiscal year, are as follows:

• Earning per Share (EPS) 1

• Net Income

• Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE) 2

• Efficiency Ratio

1 Diluted earnings per common share.

2 See Annex A for more information about this non-Gaap financial measure .

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

As described in more detail in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table above. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance Table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR

As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to the PEOs and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding the PEOs) is generally aligned with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the four years presented in the table. Further, for years 2022 and 2023, the compensation “actually paid” to the PEO is substantially lower than the prior year while cumulative TSR is higher than the prior year. The alignment of compensation actually paid with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the period presented is because a significant portion of the compensation actually paid to the PEOs and to the other NEOs is comprised of equity awards. As described in more detail in the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, the Company targets that more than 50% of the value of the PEOs’ total target compensation (and more than 30% of the value of the other NEOs’ total target compensation) is comprised of equity awards, including performance-based and time-based restricted stock units.

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 93


						Executive Compensation

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income

As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to the PEOs and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding the PEOs) is generally aligned with the Company’s net income over the four years presented in the graph. For 2023, the NEOs received a payout of 35% of target on the financial performance measures included in the short-term (annual) incentive plan, which correlates in part with the lower net income for 2023. As described in more detail in the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis ”, the Company targets that approximately 30% of the value of total compensation awarded to the NEOs consists of amounts determined under the Company short-term annual incentive compensation plan.

Compensation Actually Paid and Earnings Per Share

As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s PEOs and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding the PEOs) is generally aligned with the Company’s Earnings Per Share over the four years presented in the graph. Although the Company uses numerous financial and non-financial performance measures for the purpose of evaluating performance for the Company’s compensation programs, the Company has determined that Earnings Per Share is the financial performance measure that, in the Company’s assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s NEOs, for the most recently completed fiscal year, to Company performance. Earnings Per Share was one of the performance measures used in the

TCBI 2024 | Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement 94


						Executive Compensation

2021 performance-based RSU whose performance was recently certified by the Compensation Committee for the three years ended December 31, 2023. In addition, Earnings Per Share is closely correlated with the other two financial measures used in the 2023 annual incentive (bonus) plan (ROAA and Efficiency Ratio) and both of the two financial measures used in the long-term (equity) incentive plan (Average ROTCE and Relative TSR) with performance-based RSUs granted during 2023. For 2023, the NEOs received a payout of 35% of target on the financial performance measures included in the annual incentive plan, which correlates in part with the lower earnings per share for 2023. While more recently the Company has moved away from utilizing Earnings Per Share as an express performance measure, the Compensation Committee still considers Earnings Per Share in setting final overall pay. For more information regarding the information that the Compensation Committee considers when determining compensation, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.

Cumulative TSR of the Company and Cumulative TSR of the Peer Group

As demonstrated by the following graph, the Company’s cumulative TSR over the four year period presented in the table was $ 113.85 , while the cumulative TSR of the peer group presented for this purpose, the Nasdaq Bank Index, was $ 95.12 over the four years presented in the graph. The Company’s cumulative TSR outperformed the Nasdaq Bank Index during three of the four years presented in the table, representing the Company’s financial performance as compared to the companies comprising the Nasdaq Bank Index peer group. For more information regarding the Company’s performance and the companies that the Compensation Committee considers when determining compensation, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.

Additional Information

The pay for performance information reported above has been calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on payroll and stock plan records and the methodologies and assumptions described above. Companies have flexibility in the design of their compensation plans, in the allocation of targeted compensation to short- and long-term measures, and the selection of the types, features and terms, including vesting schedules, of long-term equity awards used over time, some of which may have been granted before or during the periods covered by the above tables, and the design may have changed year to year, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As a result, the ratios and relationships reported by other companies, which may have employed other compensation designs, estimates or assumptions, and which may have a significantly different compensation practices from the Company’s, are likely not comparable to the Company’s pay for performance disclosures.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN INFORMATION

The following table provides information as of December 31, 2023 regarding common stock that may be issued under the Company’s existing equity compensation plans.


Plan Category	Number of Securities to be Issued Upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights	Weighted Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights	Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders	1,081,679 (A)	—	861,366 (B)
Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders	—	—	—
Total	1,081,679	—	861,366

(A) Includes 1,081,679 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding RSUs. Since RSUs have no exercise price, they are not included in the weighted average exercise price calculation.

(B) All of these shares are available for issuance pursuant to grants of full-value awards.

INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has made loans, and may continue to make loans in the future, to the Bank’s and the Company’s officers, directors and employees. However, it is the Bank’s policy to not extend loans to executive officers of the Bank or the Company, or to directors and their affiliates, unless any such loan is approved in advance by the Board. Each such loan is made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the lender, and does not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. The Bank also provides wealth management services for managed accounts to directors and officers at discounted fees.

The Company has policies and procedures for reviewing related party transactions involving the Company’s and the Bank’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates. Each director and NEO of the Company and the Bank is required to complete a questionnaire annually, and each director who serves on the Audit Committee must complete a certification of independence annually. Both of these documents are designed to disclose all related party transactions, including loans, and this information is reviewed by management, the Audit Committee and the board of directors, as appropriate. Such transactions are subject to the standards set forth in the Company’s Code of Conduct and in applicable laws and regulations, including Regulation O promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, SEC rules, and the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules for determining the independence of directors. The questionnaires, certifications and Code of Conduct are all in writing. Other than as described above, these documents did not disclose any related party transactions required to be specifically disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

ANNEX A

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This Proxy Statement includes certain adjusted financial measures that are calculated on a non-GAAP basis. The Company believes that these measures are useful to compare the Company’s results across several periods and facilitate an understanding of the Company’s operating results. The Company uses these measures to evaluate the Company’s operating performance and use of equity and the Compensation and Human Capital Committee uses these measures as part of its assessment of the performance of the NEOs. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which are included in the reconciliations below.

(1) Return on Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE), also referred to by the Company as Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (ROATCE), is a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company that represents the measure of net income available to common stockholders as a percentage of average tangible common equity. ROTCE is one of the performance measures used in the Company’s long-term incentive plan performance RSUs. A reconciliation of ROTCE to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, Return on Average Common Equity (ROACE), is presented below.
