Effective as of January 30 , 2026, U.S. Century Bank (the “Bank”), the wholly owned subsidiary of USCB Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” and collectively with the Bank, the “Employers”), and Luis de la Aguilera, the President and Chief Executive Officer of each of the Company and Bank, entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to his employment agreement dated as of January 29, 2023 (the “Agreement”). The Amendment to the Agreement was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

The Amendment modified Section 3(d) of the Agreement to provide for the conversion of the term life insurance covering Mr. de la Aguilera’s life to a whole life insurance policy and the payment of the premium due thereon. In addition, the Amendment clarified the Employers’ agreement to continue to pay or reimburse Mr. de la Aguilera for the cost of a long-term care policy. The Amendment also provided for a new Section 5(l) governing the treatment of such benefits in the event of Mr. de la Aguilera’s termination in certain circumstances.

 

The Agreement was also amended to modify Section 5(e) thereof to provide that severance was also due when a termination of employment by the Employers other than for Cause, Disability or death or by Mr. de la Aguilera for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Agreement) occurred more than twelve (12) months subsequent to a Change in Control (as defined in the Agreement).

 

There were no other changes effected to the Agreement pursuant to the Amendment.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference thereto.
