On February 22, 2021, Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company"), the parent company of Texas Capital Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), announced that Tim Storms has been named as Chief Risk Officer of the Company and the Bank. Effective as of February 21, 2021, John Turpen has ceased serving as the Chief Risk Officer of the Company and the Bank and will act in an advisory role to the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company until March 31, 2021 (the “Separation Date”).

Mr. Storms, age 62, served at JPMorgan Chase & Co. from 1981 to 2019, most recently serving as Chief Risk Officer of Commercial Banking’s Real Estate businesses from 2015 to 2019. He previously held several key executive positions, including: Chief Credit Officer of Commercial Banking and head of Risk Management for corporate clients and real estate across North America for Investment Banking. Mr. Storms was also a member of a number of committees at JPMorgan, including the Risk Operating Committee of Investment Banking and Commercial Banking. Mr. Storms received a Master of Business Administration in Corporate Finance from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Psychology from Wesleyan University - CT.

Mr. Turpen, age 52, served as the Chief Risk Officer of the Bank since September 2018 and as the Chief Risk Officer of the Company since January 1, 2019. From April 2016 to September 2018, Mr. Turpen served as Chief Risk Officer for corporate and commercial banking at U.S. Bancorp. Mr. Turpen joined U.S. Bancorp in 2009 after holding increasingly senior positions in credit, risk and strategic planning at HSBC and Wells Fargo. Mr. Turpen’s banking career spans more than 20 years.

On February 21, 2021, the Company entered into a transition agreement with Mr. Turpen (the “Transition Agreement”), establishing his compensation as Special Advisor to the CEO until the Separation Date. Under the Transition Agreement, until the Separation Date, Mr. Turpen will continue to receive his annual base salary and other benefits in accordance with his current employment agreement with the Company, including a cash incentive bonus of $226,540, except that Mr. Turpen will not continue to be eligible to receive annual equity incentive grants in 2021 with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

The Transition Agreement provides that, in lieu of the severance benefits that Mr. Turpen would otherwise be entitled to receive under his current employment agreement, upon his separation from the Company following the Separation Date (or in the event the Company terminates Mr. Turpen’s employment without cause prior to the Separation Date), Mr. Turpen will be entitled to (1) a cash payment equal to $1,500,000 and (2) continued medical insurance benefits for a period of 12 months following the Separation Date. Mr. Turpen’s entitlement to such benefits is conditioned on his compliance with the Transition Agreement, including his execution of a customary release of claims in favor of the Company on or within seven days of the Separation Date.

The Transition Agreement further provides that Mr. Turpen will continue to be subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in his current agreement, with the non-solicitation and non-recruitment restrictions remaining in effect for a period of twelve months following the Separation Date.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transition Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.

On February 22, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing executive leadership appointments, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
