On March 9, 2026, the board of directors (the “Company Board”) of Avidbank Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the appointment of Mr. Keith F. Jensen as a member of the Company Board. Mr. Jensen will also serve on the board of directors of Avidbank (the “Bank Board”), the Company’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary (the “Bank”), with both appointments effective March 9, 2026.

Based on Mr. Jensen’s background, experience and qualifications, he is considered (i) an independent director under the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ rules; and (ii) an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Jensen will serve on the Audit Committee of the Company Board and the Investment and Asset-Liability Committee of both the Company Board and the Bank Board.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Jensen and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there are no family relationships between him and any other director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become an executive officer. There are no transactions involving Mr. Jensen to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Jensen will receive the same compensation as currently paid to the Company’s and the Bank’s other board members.

Mr. Jensen’s appointment to the Company Board and the Bank Board filled the existing vacancy on each board. As a result, there are currently ten (10) directors serving on the Company Board and the Bank Board.
