Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 24, 2016, Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to twelve members and elected Frederick Perpall as a director of the Company. Mr. Perpall will serve as a Class I Director with a term expiring at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of its stockholders.
The Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Perpall qualifies as an independent director under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Exchange and as defined under applicable law. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Perpall and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. In addition, there are no transactions in which Mr. Perpall has an interest that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Mr. Perpall will receive an award of common stock with a fair market value equal to $10,000 for his service on the Board for the remainder of 2016. Thereafter, Mr. Perpall will be compensated for his service on the Board and any committees of the Board to which he is appointed in the future in the same manner as the Company’s other non-employee directors.
In connection with Mr. Perpall’s election to the Board, the Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Perpall in substantially the same form as the indemnification agreement that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.12 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-198838). The indemnification agreement provides, in general, that the Company will indemnify Mr. Perpall to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection with his service to the Company or on the Company’s behalf.

On October 24, 2016 the Company issued a press release announcing the election of Mr. Perpall. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
