On July 16, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of FinWise Bancorp (the "Company") expanded the size of the Board to nine directors and appointed Susan Ehrlich as a Class III Director to fill the newly created directorship, with Ms. Ehrlich's term expiring at the Company's 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board also expanded the size of the Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee") to four directors and appointed Ms. Ehrlich as a member of the Audit Committee.
Ms. Ehrlich, age 57, has been a partner of Core Innovation Capital, an early-stage fintech venture capital firm, since 2022. In addition, she serves on the board of directors of Arrived Homes, a real estate proptech company.

She has also held leadership roles at Simple, Lending Club, Amazon and H&R Block. Ms. Ehrlich holds an MBA from Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration and a BA from Brown University.

There were no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Ehrlich and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Ehrlich became a director. She will receive the standard compensation provided by the Company to its other non-management directors for services as a director. Ms. Ehrlich has not been a party to any transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K.
