The Notice of the Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement accompanying this letter provide information concerning matters to be considered and acted upon at the meeting. Immediately following the meeting, a report on our operations will be presented, including a question-and-answer and discussion period. Our 2021 results are presented in detail in our Annual Report.

Whether or not you plan to attend, you can be sure your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting by promptly submitting your vote by the Internet, by telephone or, if you request a paper copy of the proxy materials and receive a proxy card, by mail.

Thank you for investing in Bank7 Corp. We look forward to seeing you May 26^th.

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Bank7 Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) will be held at the Bank7 corporate offices located at 1039 N.W. 63^rd Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73116 on May 26, 2022 at 11:30 a.m., Central Time.

The Annual Meeting is for the purpose of considering and acting upon:

The board of directors has fixed the close of business on March 31, 2022 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a “broker non-vote.” In these cases, the broker can register your shares as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required under the rules of the NASDAQ.

If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, your broker has discretionary voting authority under NASDAQ rules to vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of BKD LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the year 2022 (Proposal 2), even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. However, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the election of directors (Proposal 1) without instructions from you. Therefore, if you are a beneficial owner and do not provide your broker with instructions on that matter, a broker non-vote will occur and your shares will not be voted on that matter. Accordingly, it is particularly important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers how they wish to vote their shares.

We are making our proxy materials available by the Internet to expedite your receipt of these materials, reduce the cost of printing and distributing the proxy materials and lower the cost and environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. Beginning on April 8, 2022, we mailed or e-mailed to some of you a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials” with instructions on how to access our proxy materials over the Internet (or, at your preference, on how to request paper copies of the materials) and how to vote. If you received a notice and would prefer to receive paper copies of the proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

If you have any questions about the proxy voting process, please contact the broker, bank or other financial institution where you hold your shares. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) also has a website (www.sec.gov/spotlight/proxymatters.shtml) with more information about your rights as a shareholder.

Additionally, you may contact our Investor Relations Department at investorrelations@bank7.com.

Our shareholder will be asked to consider nine nominees for election to our board of directors to serve for a one-year term until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2023. At each annual shareholders’ meeting directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms then expire will be elected for a term of office to expire at the first succeeding annual shareholders’ meeting after their election. Our directors hold office until their successors are elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Our board of directors has nominated for election Charles W. Brown, William M. Buergler, Teresa L. “Tracy” Dick, Edward P. “Ed” Gray, William B. “Brad” Haines, John T. “J.T.” Phillips, J. Michael Sanner, Thomas L. “Tom” Travis, and Gary D. Whitcomb, all of whom currently are directors, each to serve for a term of one year or until his or her successor is elected and qualified.

Each nominee must be elected by a plurality of shares voted in this election. The individuals named as proxies on your proxy card will vote for the election of each nominee unless you withhold authorization. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not have any effect on this proposal.

Each nominee has agreed to serve for a one-year term, if elected. If any nominee is unable to stand for election at this Annual Meeting, the Board may either (i) reduce its size or (ii) nominate an alternate candidate, in which case the proxies will be voted for the alternate candidate.

Your Board recommends a vote “FOR” these directors.

Our Board conducts its business through meetings of the Board and of its committees. The Board met 8 times during 2021. Each director in office on December 31, 2021 attended more than 75% of the total number of meetings held while such director was in office in 2021 of the Board and the committees on which he or she served.

Our board of directors believes it is important for all directors to attend the Annual Meeting of shareholders in order to show their support for the Company and to provide an opportunity for shareholders to express any concerns to them. We have adopted a policy that all directors should attend each annual meeting of shareholders unless they are unable to attend by reason of personal or family illness or pressing matters.

Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our board of directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that set forth the framework within which our board of directors, assisted by the committees of our board of directors, directs the affairs of our organization. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address, among other things, the composition and functions of our board of directors, director independence, compensation of directors, management succession and review, committees of our board of directors and selection of new directors.

Director Independence. Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Accordingly, we are required to comply with the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market with respect to the independence of directors who serve on our board of directors and its committees. Under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, independent directors must comprise a majority of our board of directors. The rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, as well as those of the SEC, also impose several other requirements with respect to the independence of our directors.

Our board of directors has evaluated the independence of its members based upon the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market and the SEC. Applying these standards, our board of directors has affirmatively determined that each of Charles W. Brown, William M. Buergler, Gary D. Whitcomb, J. Michael Sanner, Teresa L. Dick, and Edward P. Gray is an independent director, as defined under the applicable rules. The board determined that each of Chairman Haines, Mr. Travis and Mr. Phillips does not qualify as an independent director because each is an executive officer of the Company. The board of directors has also determined that the members of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are independent under the heightened standards of independence required by Sections 5605(c)(2)(A) and 5605(d)(2)(A), respectively, of the NASDAQ rules. In making these determinations, the board of directors considered the banking relationships with directors and their related interests which we enter into in the ordinary course of our business and the compensation arrangements described under “Certain Transaction,” “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation.”

Director Qualifications. We believe that our directors should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values. They should have broad experience at the policy-making level in areas relevant to our business. They should be committed to enhancing shareholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. Each director must represent the interests of all shareholders. When considering potential director candidates, our board of directors also considers the candidate’s character, judgment, diversity, skill set, specific business background and experience in the context of our needs and those of the board of directors.

Director Diversity. The SEC approved new listing rules submitted by the NASDAQ Stock Market to advance board diversity through a “comply or disclose” framework and to enhance transparency of board diversity statistics. Under the new rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, certain companies are required to (1) annually disclose aggregate statistical information about the board of director’s voluntary self-identified gender and racial characteristics and LGBTQ+ status, and (2) include on the board of directors (or publicly disclose why the board does not include) a certain number of “diverse” directors. The compliance period for this disclosure requirement began in 2022. Accordingly, a matrix disclosing the diversity breakdown of our board of directors is set forth below:

Controlled Company. The William Bradford Haines Financial Services Trust, the Lisa K. Haines Financial Services Trust, and the Julee S. Lawrence Financial Services Trust (collectively, the “Haines Family Trusts”) control a majority of our outstanding voting power and have made a filing as a group under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of NASDAQ Stock Market. As a result, although the members of our Audit Committee are required to be independent, we are not required to have a majority of our board of directors be independent, nor are we required to have a compensation committee or an independent nominating function under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are in full compliance with NASDAQ Global Select Market listing requirements for board independence and committee independence.

Family Relationships. There are no family relationships among the directors of the Company. Our Chairman of the Board is the father of Lisa K. Haines, the Bank’s Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. In addition, our Chairman of the Board is the brother of Doug Haines, the Bank’s Regional President for Western Oklahoma and Kansas, the uncle of Drew Haines, our Bank’s Vice President – Commercial Lending, and the grandfather of one of the Bank’s employees working in the operations department.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure. It is the practice of the Company to separate the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting our strategic direction and the day-to-day leadership and performance. The Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer, sets the agenda for board meetings, presides over meetings of the full board, and facilitates communication among the independent directors and between the independent directors and the Chief Executive Officer. The board of directors further believes that the separation of the duties of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board eliminates any inherent conflict of interest that may arise when the roles are combined.

Executive Sessions. To further strengthen the oversight of the board of directors, our board of directors holds regular executive sessions at which only independent directors are present. The executive sessions are presided over by the Chairman of the Audit Committee, who is an independent director.

Code of Conduct and Ethics. Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy, or Code of Conduct, that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code of Conduct sets forth the standard of conduct that we expect all of our directors, officers and employees to follow, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. In addition, our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and any other officer serving in a finance function and sets forth specific standards of conduct and ethics that we expect from such individuals in addition to those set forth in the Code of Conduct. Our Code of Conduct and our Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers are available on our website at www.bank7.com. We expect that any amendments to the Code of Conduct or the Code of Ethics for the Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers, or any waivers of their respective requirements, will be disclosed on our website, as well as any other means required by NASDAQ Global Select Market rules or the SEC.

Risk Management and Oversight. The board of directors has ultimate authority and responsibility for overseeing our risk management. The board of directors monitors, reviews and reacts to material enterprise risks identified by management. The board receives specific reports from executive management on credit, interest rate, liquidity, transactional, compliance and legal, strategic, and reputational risks and the degree of exposure to those risks. The board of directors helps ensure that management is properly focused on risk by, among other things, reviewing and discussing the performance of senior management and business line leaders. Committees of the board of directors have responsibility for risk oversight in specific areas. The Audit Committee oversees financial, accounting and internal control risk management policies. The Audit Committee also oversees the risk and compliance programs, adherence to management policies and procedures, compliance with regulatory requirements and information technology strategies and activities. The Compensation Committee assesses and monitors risks in our compensation program.

Our board of directors has established standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. These committees include the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our board of directors also may establish such other committees as it deems appropriate, in accordance with applicable law and regulations and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

Audit Committee. Our board of directors has adopted an Audit Committee charter that sets out the responsibilities, authority and specific duties of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee charter is available on our website at www.bank7.com under the “Investor Relations” tab. Current members of our Audit Committee are William M. Buergler (Committee Chairman), Teresa L. “Tracy” Dick, J. Michael Sanner, and Gary D. Whitcomb. The Audit Committee met 6 times in 2021.

Our board of directors has evaluated the independence of each of the members of our Audit Committee and has affirmatively determined that each of the members of our Audit Committee (1) is an independent director under NASDAQ Stock Market rules, (2) satisfies the additional independence standards under applicable SEC rules for audit committee service, and (3) has the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Buergler qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the SEC.

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include the following:

Michael Sanner (Committee Chairman), William M. Buergler, Ed Gray and Charles D. Brown. The Compensation Committee met 3 times in 2021.

Our board of directors has also determined that each of the members of the Compensation Committee qualifies as a “nonemployee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. All compensation, equity awards and transactions subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act will be approved by a committee or subcommittee of the board of directors that is composed solely of two or more “non-employee directors.”

The Compensation Committee has the following responsibilities:

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the following responsibilities:

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also consider director nominees put forward by shareholders. Our bylaws contain provisions that address the process by which a shareholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to the board of directors at an annual or special meeting. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have any specific minimum qualifications that director nominees must have in order to be considered to serve on the board of directors. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does take into consideration areas of expertise that director nominees may be able to offer, including professional experience, knowledge, abilities and industry knowledge or expertise. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the director nominees’ potential contribution to the overall composition and diversity of the board of directors.

The following table sets forth compensation paid to our non-employee directors during 2021.

The shares of our common stock that were beneficially owned on the Record Date by each person who is a director nominee or was a director or NEO on that date and by all directors and executive officers as a group are shown below.

Beneficial owners of more than 5% of the common stock are required to file certain ownership reports under the federal securities laws. The following table shows the common stock beneficially owned by persons who have filed these reports reporting beneficial ownership that exceeds 5% of our outstanding common stock on December 31, 2021.

Our named executive officers for 2021, which consist of our principal executive officer and the two other most highly compensated executive officers, are:

The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation paid, awarded to, or earned for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for each of our named executive officers.

We compensate our named executive officers through a combination of base salary, annual discretionary bonuses, and other benefits, including perquisites. Our board of directors believes the executive compensation packages that we provide to our executives, including the named executive officers, should reward performance. Each element of compensation is designed to achieve a specific purpose and to contribute to a total package that is competitive with similar packages provided by other institutions that compete for the services of individuals like our named executive officers.

We provide each of our named executive officers with a competitive fixed annual base salary. The base salaries for our named executive officers are reviewed annually by the board of directors by taking into account the results

achieved by each executive, his or her future potential, scope of responsibilities and experience, and competitive pay practices. Based upon the comprehensive review, the board of directors has determined the base salaries to be equitable and competitive for our market.

Historically, the board of directors has provided discretionary cash bonuses after the end of each fiscal year. The amount of these discretionary awards, if any, has been based on an overall assessment of our performance, while taking into consideration other factors such as market conditions, regulatory changes, accounting changes, tax law changes and other items that may impact our strategic direction. Based on the profitability of the Company, we set aside on a monthly basis a bonus pool to be allocated among the employees at the end of the fiscal year.

We intend to continue to provide annual cash bonuses to reward achievement of financial or operational goals so that total compensation is reflective of actual company and individual performance.

The Bank7 Corp. 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, or 2018 Plan, provides for the issuance of up to 1,357,500 shares of common stock pursuant to awards of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance-based stock and stock unit awards, and other forms of equity or cash compensation. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2018 Plan increases annually on the first day of each fiscal year after the adoption of the 2018 Plan by the lesser of (i) 1.0% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the first day of the respective fiscal year, (ii) 100,000 shares of common stock, or (iii) a lesser amount determined by our board of directors. As of the record date, a maximum of 706,587 shares were issuable under the 2018 Plan.

The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to provide selected present and future employees and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates with stock based incentives and other equity interests in the Company, thereby giving them a stake in the growth and prosperity of the Company and encouraging the continuance of their services with the Company.

The 2018 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the ability to make awards under the 2018 Plan, and to select employees and directors who may participate in the 2018 Plan, determine the amount and types of awards, determine the terms and conditions of awards, grant awards as an alternative to, or as the form of payment for grants or rights earned or payable under, other bonus or compensation plans, arrangements or policies of the Company; grant substitute awards on terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may prescribe; make all determinations under the 2018 Plan concerning termination of any participant’s employment or service with the Company; determine whether or not a change-in-control has occurred under the 2018 Plan; construe and interpret the 2018 Plan and any agreement or instrument under the 2018 Plan; establish and administer any terms, conditions, restrictions, limitations, forfeiture, vesting or exercise schedule, and other provisions of or relating to any award; establish and administer any performance goals, including related performance measures or performance criteria and applicable performance periods, determine the extent to which any performance goals and/or other terms and conditions of an award are attained or are not attained, and certify whether, and to what extent, any such performance goals and other material terms applicable to awards under the 2018 Plan intended to qualify as performance-based compensation were in fact satisfied; construe any ambiguous provisions, correct any defects, supply any omissions and reconcile any inconsistencies in the 2018 Plan and/or any award agreement; establish, adopt, amend, waive and/or rescind rules, regulations, procedures, guidelines, forms and/or instruments for the 2018 Plan’s operation or administration; make all valuation determinations relating to awards and the payment or settlement thereof; and grant waivers of terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations under the 2018 Plan or applicable to any award, or accelerate the vesting or exercisability of any award.

The named executive officers participate in the Bank’s broad-based employee welfare benefit plans, such as medical, dental, vision, supplemental disability and term life insurance. The named executive officers also participate in the Bank’s 401(k) plan. The Bank matches 100% of an employee’s contribution up to 5% of such employee’s salary (excluding bonuses). The named executive officers are provided the same benefits, and participate in the cost at the same rate, as all other employees.

We provide our named executive officers with certain perquisites that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee will review the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to named executive officers. Based on this periodic review, perquisites will be awarded or adjusted on an individual basis. The perquisites received by our named executive officers in 2021 included an automobile and cell phone allowance and the use of the Bank-owned country club membership.

The Compensation Committee retained, The Hunt Financial Group, a banking compensation specialist company to assist the Committee in designing a new executive compensation plan for 2022 and beyond. The primary elements of our executive compensation going forward are base salary, discretionary cash bonuses, long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards, and other benefits including perquisites. The goal is for mix and value of these compensation elements to provide our named executive officers with total annual compensation that is both reasonable and competitive within our markets, and appropriately reflects our performance and the executive’s particular contributions to that performance. Since our Chairman’s family group owns over 50% of the outstanding stock, we are excluding him from our executive incentive program.

Total compensation package for the named executives excluding Chairman of the Board for 2022 is as follows:

Base Salary. Each named executive officer’s base salary is a fixed component of compensation for each year for performing specific job duties and functions. We review these base salaries at the end of each year, with any adjustments implemented at the beginning of the next year. In considering whether to make adjustments to the base salary rates of our named executive officers, our compensation committee considers many factors, including but not limited to (a) changes to the scope of the executive’s responsibilities, (b) the executive’s job performance, and (c) the competitive market for executive talent, as estimated based on the competitive market data developed by the Hunt Financial Group, our independent compensation consultant, publicly available information and the experience of the compensation committee and of the board of directors.

Short-term Incentive Compensation. Our annual short-term incentive awards for the named executive officers are determined in January of each year and based on an overall assessment by the Compensation Committee and are granted at the Compensation Committee’s discretion. Potential cash bonuses are evaluated based on market conditions, and also specific performance measures.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Equity-based incentives are an effective means for aligning the interests of our executives with the interests of our shareholders, and we have linked those incentive payouts to value created for all shareholders. In addition, we use equity-based incentive compensation as a retention tool. Because the stock awards vest over a multi-year period, they provide our executives with an ongoing incentive to continue their employment with us and to maximize shareholder value.

Total Long-Term Incentive Compensation for the named executives, excluding the Chairman of the Board, for 2022 will be subject to 3-year vesting in equal, annual installments. The award amount will be based on a weighting of the following performance metrics:

The Compensation Committee will have the authority to exercise positive or negative discretion with respect to Long-Term Incentive Compensation Awards.

We have entered into Restricted Stock Award Agreements and Stock Option Award Agreements with our named executive officers (the “Participants”). The Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement and the Stock Option Award Agreements each provide for the vesting of all unvested restricted stock units and stock options, respectively, upon the earlier of (i) the Participant’s death, (ii) the Participant’s disability, or (iii) immediately prior to a “Change in Control” of the Company. Generally, a “Change in Control” consists of one of the following events:

The following tables set forth values for acceleration of restricted stock and “in-the-money” stock options that would have been realized by our named executive officers upon the termination of employment situations set forth below as of December 31, 2021.

In March 2022, we entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Travis and Phillips. Each agreement is for an initial term of two (2) years with the term automatically extending for successive one-year periods provided that neither party elects not to extend at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Pursuant to the agreements, Mr. Travis’ base salary is $550,000 per year and Mr. Phillips’ is $350,000 per year, subject to increase but not decrease following annual review by the Board.

In the event of Mr. Travis’ termination by the Company without Cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or by Mr. Travis for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement) including termination following a change of control, Mr. Travis will be entitled to a lump-sum severance payment within 30 days of termination in an amount equal to (i) his base salary and accrued vacation pay through the date of termination, (ii) an amount equal to three (3) times his base salary and (iii) an amount equal to three (3) times his average annual bonus over the previous three years.

In the event of Mr. Phillips’ termination by the Company without Cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or by Mr. Phillips for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement) including termination following a change of control, Mr. Phillips will be entitled to a lump-sum severance payment within 30 days of termination in an amount equal to (i) his base salary and accrued vacation pay through the date of termination, (ii) an amount equal to two (2) times his base salary and (iii) an amount equal to two (2) times his average annual bonus over the previous three years.

Transactions by us or the Bank with related persons are subject to regulatory requirements and restrictions. These requirements and restrictions include the Affiliates Act and the Federal Reserve’s Regulation W (which governs certain transactions by the Bank with its affiliates) and the Federal Reserve’s Regulation O (which governs certain loans by the Bank to its executive officers, directors, and principal shareholders). We have adopted policies to comply with these regulatory requirements and restrictions.

Certain of our officers, directors and principal shareholders, as well as their immediate family members and affiliates, are customers of, or have or have had transactions with us or the Bank in the ordinary course of business. These transactions include deposits, loans, wealth management products and other financial services related transactions. Related party transactions are made in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral (where applicable), as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to us, and do not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other features unfavorable to us. Any loans we originate with officers, directors and principal shareholders, as well as their immediate family members and affiliates, are approved by our board of directors in accordance with the Bank’s regulatory requirements.

We currently employ certain immediate family members of our Chairman of the Board in the following capacities: Douglas A. Haines, the Bank’s Regional President for Western Oklahoma and Kansas, is the brother of our Chairman of the Board and Lisa K. Haines, the Bank’s Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, is the daughter of our Chairman of the Board. The background experience of Douglas A. Haines and Lisa K. Haines are discussed under the heading “Executive Officers”. During the year ended 2021, we paid Douglas A. Haines $297,910 cash compensation, issued him 1,250 restricted stock units with a grant date fair market value of $27,662.50, and issued him options to purchase 4,000 shares of stock with a grant date fair market value of $27,151.16 for his services as an employee. During the year ended 2021, we paid Lisa K. Haines $355,000 cash compensation, issued her 1,250 restricted stock units with a grant date fair market value of $27,662.50 and issued her options to purchase 1,750 shares of stock with a grant date fair market value of $11,878.63 for her services as an employee. These individuals are also entitled to participate in the general welfare programs of the Bank to the same extent as the other Bank employees.

In connection with our initial public offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the Haines Family Trusts. The agreement provides the Haines Family Trusts with certain demand and piggyback registration rights in respect of any registrable shares of our common stock held by them, subject to various conditions and

limitations as set forth in the agreement. We will pay all expenses in connection with any such registrations. On December 9, 2021, one of the Haines Family Trusts sold 1.1 million Company shares in a secondary registered offering. The Company incurred $163,000 of expenses in connection with this offering.

Chairman Haines is the manager of Haines Realty Investments Co., LLC, or Haines Realty, a business entity owned by trusts established for Lisa K. Haines and Julee S. Thummel, his daughters. The Bank leases its branch located in Woodward, Oklahoma from Haines Realty. During 2021, lease and common area maintenance payments to Haines Realty totaled $177,000.00 which we believe to be consistent with prevailing market terms.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file certain reports with the SEC concerning their beneficial ownership of our equity securities. The SEC’s regulations also require that a copy of all such Section 16(a) forms filed must be furnished to us by the executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such forms and amendments thereto received by us with respect to 2020, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were timely met, except one late Form 4 filing was made by Lisa K. Haines on February 12, 2021 (late reporting of acquired equity). We make no representation regarding persons who have not identified themselves as being subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or as to the appropriateness of disclaimers of beneficial ownership.

The Company’s Audit Committee oversees and reports to the board of directors regarding accounting and financial reporting processes, the audits of the financial statements, the qualifications and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm engaged to provide independent audits and related services, and the performance of the internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm; and also performs the other duties of the committee specified by federal securities laws and regulations, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and related regulations, the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, and its charter. The committee (1) has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K with management; (2) has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 16 (Communication with Audit Committees); and (3) has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the committee concerning independence and has discussed independence with the independent registered public accounting firm. Based upon this review, discussion, disclosures, and materials described in (1) through (3), the committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The committee also has considered whether the amount and nature of non-audit services rendered by the independent accountant are consistent with its independence.

Our Audit Committee recommended and our board of directors approved the engagement of BKD LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2022. The board of directors is submitting this appointment to the vote of the shareholders for ratification.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of BKD LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2022. Abstentions will not be counted as votes against this proposal. If the appointment is not ratified by shareholders holding a majority of our issued and outstanding common stock, the vote will be considered in connection with the auditor appointment for 2023. However, it is not anticipated that any change in our independent registered public accounting firm would be made for 2022 because of the difficulty and expense of making another change so long after the beginning of the year.

Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of BKD LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2022.

A representative of BKD LLP, our independent certified public accounting firm, is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to shareholders’ questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement.

The following table presents the aggregate fees paid or accrued by the Company to its independent registered public accounting firms BKD LLP for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2021

All Other Fees. Consists of aggregate fees billed for products and services that are not reported under “Audit Fees,” Audit-Related Fees,” and “Tax Fees.”

The Audit Committee is required by SEC regulations to preapprove all auditing services and permitted non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. There is an exception for preapproval of non-audit services if the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to us constitutes not more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by it to its independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; such services were not recognized by us at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and the non-audit services are promptly brought to the attention of the committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the committee or by one or more members of the committee to whom authority to grant such approval has been delegated by the committee. All audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor have been preapproved by the Audit Committee as required by SEC regulations and the Audit Committee’s charter without exception.
