More than one-half of our chief executive officer’s annual equity awards are performance-based and one-half of the annual equity awards to other executive officers are performance-based. | | Appropriate risk-taking | We set challenging, yet achievable performance goals that are centered around our internal financial plan, which we believe will not encourage risk taking outside the range of risk inherent in our business. | | Clawback provisions | Our annual incentives and equity-based awards are subject to clawback if we are required to restate our financial results. | | Limited perquisites | We provide limited perquisites, which are offered selectively when they enhance productivity or further the Company’s business interests. | | No golden-parachute excise tax gross-ups | We have not entered into any agreements that provide a golden parachute excise tax gross-up in the event of a change in control. | | “Double-trigger” severance benefits in the event of a change in control | In the event of a change in control, severance benefits are only paid upon a qualifying termination of employment upon or after the change in control. | | No repricing or exchanges of underwater stock options | Our equity plans prohibit the repricing or exchange of underwater stock options without stockholder approval. | | Significant stock ownership requirement | Our executive officers and directors are required to accumulate and hold our common stock equal to a multiple of base salary (three times base salary for the chief executive officer and one times base salary for each of the other NEOs) or annual Board retainer (five times annual retainer for each non-employee director). | | No hedging or pledging | Our executive officers and directors are prohibited from hedging or pledging our securities. | | Annual say on pay vote | The Company seeks and values stockholder feedback and holds a say on pay vote every year. |

  12. Fiscal 2025 Executive Compensation Program in Detail

    Annual Incentives. Under the Senior Leadership Incentive Plan, participating executive officers are eligible for annual cash incentives generally ranging from 50% to 150% of their target opportunities, based on the achievement of pre-established, weighted performance goals. Payouts are earned at 50% of target for threshold performance, 100% for target performance, and 150% for maximum performance, with interpolation applied for results between performance levels. Awards remain subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. For most NEOs, performance is based on adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income. For Ms. Powell and Mr. Sprink, 50% of the incentive opportunity is based on division profitability relative to plan, with the balance based on adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision income. Set forth below is a summary of the target award opportunities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 under the Senior Leadership Incentive Plan for the NEOs.

  15. Fiscal 2025 Executive Compensation Program in Detail

    Incentive compensation awarded under the Senior Leadership Incentive Plan is subject to applicable clawback provisions. These include the Company’s mandatory clawback policy adopted in accordance with exchange listing standards, which requires the recovery of certain incentive-based compensation in the event of a financial restatement. 2025 Equity-Based Awards. Equity-based awards are currently granted under the Company’s 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan and are designed to align the interests of executives with those of stockholders by linking a significant portion of compensation to long-term stock price performance and sustained financial results. For 2025, the Company’s long-term incentive program consisted of a mix of performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”) and time-based restricted stock. For the Chief Executive Officer, the target long-term incentive opportunity was allocated 60% to PBRSUs and 40% to time-based restricted stock. For the other NEOs, the allocation was 50% PBRSUs and 50% time-based restricted stock. On February 11, 2025, the NEOs were granted PBRSUs representing the performance-based portion of their long-term incentive opportunity. The PBRSUs are earned based on the Company’s performance over a three-year period ending December 31, 2027, measured by pre-tax, pre-provision income to average assets relative to a defined peer group. Payouts range from 25% of target for performance at the 35th percentile to 150% of target for performance at or above the 70th percentile, with interpolation between performance levels. The following table presents the target number of shares underlying the PBRSUs granted on February 11, 2025, and the grant date fair value of such awards, as determined in accordance with ASC 718:

  25. Employment Agreements with Messrs. Westbrook and VunCannon and Change in Control Severance Agreements with Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink and Ms. Pelletier

    Employment Agreements with Messrs. Westbrook and VunCannon and Change in Control Severance Agreements with Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink and Ms. Pelletier Employment Agreements with Messrs. Westbrook and VunCannon. Effective September 11, 2018, the Company entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Messrs. Westbrook and VunCannon. The employment agreement with Mr. Westbrook provides for an initial term that ended on September 11, 2021, and the employment agreement with Mr. VunCannon provides for an initial term that ended on September 11, 2020. The term of each agreement extends by one year on September 11th of each year (beginning September 11, 2019), provided that the Company has not given written notice to the contrary to the executive within a specified period before such date and the executive has not received an unsatisfactory performance review by the Board of Directors of the Company or the Bank. In conjunction with his promotion to Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Westbrook’s employment agreement was amended to increase his base salary to $550,000, effective September 1, 2022. Mr. VunCannon’s employment agreement provides for a minimum annual base salary of not less than his base salary as in effect on the effective date of the agreement. Each employment agreement entitles the executive to participate in an equitable manner with all other executive officers of the Company and the Bank in such performance-based and discretionary bonuses, if any, as are authorized by the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank, and to participate in, to the same extent as executive officers of the Company and the Bank generally, all retirement and other employee benefits and any fringe benefits, and such other benefits as the Board of Directors may provide in its discretion. Each employment agreement provides that if the executive is involuntarily terminated, other than at the time of or within 12 months following a change in control of the Company or the Bank, he will receive (i) monthly payments of one-twelfth of his cash compensation for the remaining term of the agreement, (ii) continuation of specified health insurance benefits for the executive and his dependents until the expiration of the remaining term of the agreement, and (iii) continuation of specified other insurance benefits until the expiration of the remaining term of the agreement. Each employment agreement further provides that if the executive is involuntarily terminated at the time of or within 12 months following a change in control of the Company or the Bank, then in lieu of the benefits described in the immediately preceding sentence, the executive will receive (i) a lump sum cash amount equal to three times his cash compensation, (ii) continuation of specified health insurance benefits for the executive and his dependents until the three-year anniversary of the date of termination, and (iii) continuation of specified other insurance benefits until the three-year anniversary of the date of termination. In addition, each employment agreement provides that the executive will either receive the full amount of these change in control severance payments or be cut back to the extent such payments would, or together with other payments would, be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, whichever results in a greater after-tax benefit with the executive paying any applicable excise tax. Each employment agreement provides that if the executive dies while employed under the agreement, his estate or designated beneficiary will be entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum equal to the executive’s cash compensation through the last day of calendar month in which his death occurred, plus the greater of (A) an additional three months of the executive’s cash compensation or (B) if the executive died within six months prior to or 12 months following a change in control of the Company or the Bank, a lump sum cash amount equal to three times the executive’s cash compensation; and (ii) the amounts of any benefits or awards which were earned with respect to the fiscal year in which the executive died and which the executive would have been entitled to receive had he remained employed, and the prorated amount of any bonus or incentive compensation for such fiscal year to which the executive would have been entitled had he remained employed. Each employment agreement also provides that if the Company terminates the executive’s employment after having established that the executive has incurred a disability, then after exhaustion of all paid time off days allocated for the calendar year, the Company will pay to the executive monthly one-twelfth of his cash compensation for the remaining term of the agreement, reduced by the proceeds of any disability plan then in effect. If the executive’s employment is terminated on account of disability during the one year commencing on the effective date of a change in control of the Company or the Bank, he will receive his change in control severance payment and benefits as provided under his employment agreement. Change in Control Severance Agreements with Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink and Ms. Pelletier. The Company has entered into change in control severance agreements with Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink and Ms. Pelletier. Ms. Powell’s agreement provides for an initial term that ended on September 11, 2023, Mr. Sprink’s agreement provides for an initial term that ended on September 11, 2024 and Ms. Pelletier’s agreement provides for an initial term that ended on September 11, 2023. The term of each agreement extends by one year on September 11th of each year (beginning September 11, 2022, in the case of Ms. Powell’s agreement and Ms. Pelletier’s agreement, and beginning September 11, 2023, in the case of Mr. Sprink’s agreement), provided that the Company has not given written notice to the contrary to the executive within a specified period before such date and the executive has not received an unsatisfactory performance review. Each agreement provides that if the executive is involuntarily terminated at the time of or within 12 months following a change in control of the Company or the Bank, the executive will receive (i) a lump sum cash amount equal to two times the executive’s cash compensation and (ii) specified health insurance benefits for the executive and his or her dependents. Each agreement further provides that these change in control severance payments are subject to reduction to the extent payments to the executive (whether under the agreement or otherwise) would be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of the employment agreements with Messrs. Westbrook and VunCannon and the change in control severance agreements with Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink and Ms. Pelletier, the term “involuntary termination” includes a material diminution in the executive’s duties, responsibilities or benefits, and the term “cash compensation” is defined as the highest annual base salary rate paid to the executive at any time during his or her employment by the Company plus the higher of (i) the executive’s annual bonus paid during the year immediately preceding the date of termination or (ii) the executive’s target bonus for the year in which the date of termination occurs, in each case including any salary or bonus amounts deferred by the executive. The Company’s obligation to pay severance or provide benefits under these agreements is expressly conditioned upon the executive executing (and not revoking) a general release of claims.

  31. Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

    Potential Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control The following tables summarize the approximate value of the termination payments and benefits that the NEOs would have received if their employment had been terminated on December 31, 2025 under the circumstances shown. The tables exclude (i) amounts accrued through December 31, 2025 that would be paid in the normal course of continued employment, such as accrued but unpaid salary, and (ii) account balances under HomeTrust Bank’s KSOP, Deferred Compensation Plans, EMCP and SERP. Mr. Westbrook, Mr. VunCannon and Ms. Pelletier are fully vested in their account balances under the Deferred Compensation Plans, and Mr. VunCannon is fully vested in his account balances under the EMCP and the SERP, and the forms and amounts of their benefits under those plans would not be enhanced by a termination of employment with HomeTrust Bank or a change in control. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, Mr. Westbrook, Mr. VunCannon and Ms. Pelletier were the only NEOs who participated in the Deferred Compensation Plans, and Mr. VunCannon was the only NEO who participated in the EMCP and the SERP. If Mr. VunCannon is terminated for cause, he will forfeit all benefits under the SERP and will generally forfeit the right to receive any further benefits under the EMCP that are not attributable to compensation he previously deferred. For information regarding the benefits of Mr. Westbrook, Mr. VunCannon and Ms. Pelletier under the Deferred Compensation Plans and the benefits of Mr. VunCannon under the EMCP and the SERP, see “– Deferred Compensation Plans,” “– Executive Medical Care Plan” and “– Executive Supplemental Retirement Income Plan.”

Westbrook and VunCannon and Change in Control Severance Agreements with Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink and Ms. Pelletier,” for the remaining term of Mr. Westbrook’s employment agreement, assuming that Mr. Westbrook’s employment is, on December 31, 2025, “involuntarily terminated” but not at the time of or within 12 months following a change in control and that the then-remaining term of Mr. Westbrook’s employment agreement is not renewed and ends on December 31, 2028. For purposes of the above table, Mr. Westbrook’s annual “cash compensation” is calculated as $1,122,530, and the annual amount of his health and other insurance benefits is calculated at $23,874. | | | | | | (2) | Represents the value of acceleration of vesting of in-the-money unvested stock options, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2025 of $42.94 and the exercise price of the options of $31.35 with respect to 4,000 option shares, and the value of acceleration of unvested restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock units, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2025 of $42.94.

As provided in Mr. Westbrook’s employment agreement, this disability benefit is not payable until after the exhaustion of all paid time off days allocated for the calendar year and is reduced by the proceeds of any disability insurance policy then in effect pursuant to a disability insurance program sponsored by HomeTrust Bank or HomeTrust Bancshares. | | | | | | (7) | Represents annualized unused paid time off accrued for 2025, plus unused paid time off banked from prior years (maximum of one week per calendar year under the Company’s paid time off policy). | | | | | | (8) | Under his employment agreement, if Mr. Westbrook’s employment terminates due to disability during the one-year period following a change in control, Mr. Westbrook is entitled to a payment of 300% of his “cash compensation” and health and other insurance benefits for three years following the change in control. | | | | |

For purposes of the above table, Mr. VunCannon’s annual “cash compensation” is calculated as $548,670, and the annual amount of his health and other insurance benefits is calculated at $23,472. | | | | | | (2) | Represents the value of acceleration of vesting of unvested restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock units, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2025 of $42.94. In the case of performance-based restricted stock units, assumes the units vest at the target level of performance without proration of the number of underlying performance shares earned, as discussed below.

All unvested stock options and restricted stock awards vest upon a change in control, regardless of whether employment is terminated, as well as upon termination of employment due to death or disability, regardless of whether a change in control occurs. Upon termination of employment prior to a change in control due to death, disability, retirement, involuntary termination or resignation for good reason, a prorated portion of the performance shares underlying the performance-based restricted stock units may become earned and vested at the end of the performance period based on the number of months’ service during the performance period.

As provided in Mr. VunCannon’s employment agreement, this disability benefit is not payable until after the exhaustion of all paid time off days allocated for the calendar year and is reduced by the proceeds of any disability insurance policy then in effect pursuant to a disability insurance program sponsored by HomeTrust Bank or HomeTrust Bancshares. | | | | | | (7) | Represents annualized unused paid time off accrued for 2025, plus unused paid time off banked from prior years (maximum of one week per calendar year under the Company’s paid time off policy). | | | | | | (8) | Under his employment agreement, if Mr. VunCannon’s employment terminates due to disability during the one-year period following a change in control, Mr. VunCannon is entitled to a payment of 300% of his “cash compensation” and health and other insurance benefits for three years following the change in control. | | | | |

In the case of performance-based restricted stock units, assumes the units vest at the target level of performance without proration of the number of underlying performance shares earned, as discussed below. All unvested stock options and restricted stock awards vest upon a change in control, regardless of whether employment is terminated, as well as upon termination of employment due to death or disability, regardless of whether a change in control occurs. Upon termination of employment prior to a change in control due to death, disability, retirement, involuntary termination or resignation for good reason, a prorated portion of the performance shares underlying the performance-based restricted stock units may become earned and vested at the end of the performance period based on the number of months’ service during the performance period. In the event of a change in control prior to the end of the performance period, the performance shares may be deemed earned based on a prorated performance goal reflecting the shortened performance period, but without proration of the number of performance shares. | | | | | (3) | Represents the amount payable to Ms. Pelletier under her change in control severance agreement in the event that her employment is “involuntarily terminated” at the time of or 12 months following a change in control. | | | |

  37. CEO Pay Ratio

    CEO Pay Ratio As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and the SEC’s implementing rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the compensation of our CEO, C. Hunter Westbrook, to the compensation of our median employee. The pay ratio set forth below is a reasonable estimate determined in a manner consistent with the SEC’s rules. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025: •the total compensation of our median employee was $84,687; •the total compensation of Mr. Westbrook was $1,500,503; and •the ratio of the total compensation of Mr. Westbrook to the total compensation of our median employee was 17.7 to 1. The Company identified the median employee using the amount of total cash earnings (base salary, bonus, paid time off and any other cash payments) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 for each employee included in our payroll records as of December 31, 2025, other than Mr. Westbrook. An equivalent level of earnings were used for included employees who were not employed for the full fiscal year. The Company calculated total compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 for the median employee and Mr. Westbrook applying the same methodology used in the calculation of the amounts in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for our NEOs, plus the group health insurance premiums the Bank paid on behalf of the median employee and Mr. Westbrook of $12,152 and $13,311, respectively. This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records and the methodology described above. The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable estimates and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

  38. Pay Versus Performance

    Pay Versus Performance As required by the Dodd-Frank Act and the SEC’s implementing rules, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (“CAP”) and certain measures of financial performance. CAP is calculated in accordance with SEC rules and does not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned or paid during the applicable year. For further information concerning the Company’s compensation philosophy and how the Company seeks to align executive compensation with its performance, see the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above. The following table sets forth, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (“FY 2025” and “FY 2024,” respectively), the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2023 (“TP”) and each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (“FY 2023,” “FY 2022” and “FY 2021,” respectively), the total compensation, as reported in the “Summary Compensation Table” (“SCT”), of our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and, on average, of our NEOs other than the PEO (the “Non-PEO NEOs”), as well as the CAP to our PEO and average CAP to the Non-PEO NEOs. The table also provides information on our total stockholder return (“TSR”) and the TSR of our selected peer group, our net income, and our adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision (“PTPP”) income, which represents our company-selected measure per SEC rules.

  40. Pay Versus Performance

    (1) For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2023, Mr. Westbrook was the only person who served as our PEO. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, Messrs. Westbrook and Stonestreet served as our PEO for different portions of the year. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, Mr. Stonestreet was the only person who served as our PEO. The Non-PEO NEOs for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 include Mr. VunCannon, Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink and Ms. Pelletier. The Non-PEO NEOs for the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2023 include Mr. VunCannon, Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink, Ms. Pelletier and Mr. Stonestreet. The Non-PEO NEOs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 include Mr. VunCannon, Ms. Powell, Mr. Sprink and Keith J. Houghton. The Non-PEO NEOs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 include Mr. Westbrook, Mr. VunCannon, W. Mark DeMarcus and Ms. Powell. The Non-PEO NEOs for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 include Mr. Westbrook, Mr. VunCannon, Marty T. Caywood, Mr. Houghton and Paula C. Labian. The dollar amounts reported are total compensation in the SCT for the PEO and the average for the Non-PEO NEOs for each reported period. (2) These dollar amounts do not reflect actual amounts of compensation paid during the covered period, but reflect adjustments for (i) the period-end fair values of unvested equity awards granted in the covered period, (ii) the period-over-period difference of period-end fair values for unvested awards granted in prior periods, (iii) the fair values at vest date for awards granted and vested in the covered period, (iv) the difference between prior period-end fair values and vest date fair values for awards granted in prior periods that vested at the end of or during the covered period and (v) the fair value at the end of the prior period of any awards granted in a prior period that failed to meet the applicable vesting conditions (i.e., were forfeited) during the covered period. In addition, adjustments were made for the change in the actuarial present value of the NEO’s accumulated benefit under the SERP reported in the SCT and the current period service cost (which was zero, as all SERP benefits were fully vested). (3) Reflects the cumulative TSR of HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. (“HTB”) over the five and a half-year period ended December 31, 2025. The reporting is based on a theoretical $100 invested on the last day of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020 and valued as of the last trading day of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021, 2022 and 2023, the six-month transition period ended December 31, 2023 and the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. These calculated values were obtained from the S&P Cap IQ database. (4) Reflects the five and a half-year cumulative TSR of the S&P US BMI Bank Index, calculated in the same manner as the HTB TSR. This is the same peer group used by the Company in the Stockholder Return Performance Graph in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. (5) Net income as reported in the Company’s SEC filings, adjusted for the provision for credit losses, income tax expense, and any one-time or nonrecurring items (e.g., merger-related expenses, gain/loss on sale of securities or fixed assets, etc.). Refer to the “Executive Compensation Program in Detail” subsection of the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of the Company’s proxy statements for each period covered by this disclosure for additional detail on the calculation of adjusted PTPP income for the periods included above.

  41. Calculation of Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”)

    Calculation of Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) To calculate the CAP for our PEO and the average CAP for our Non-PEO NEOs in the table above, the following adjustments were made to total compensation as reported in the SCT for each covered period.
