AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Eagle Bancorp (EGBN)

Eagle Bancorp CEO Susan Riel to retire in 2026; board searching for successor

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

Eagle Bancorp CEO Susan G. Riel told the boards on October 31, 2025 that she intends to retire as President and Chief Executive Officer in 2026, and the board is working with an executive search firm to find a successor. She will step down as board chair effective November 4, 2025, but will remain a director, and James A. Soltesz will become chair. The change is a leadership succession, and no new CEO has been named.

Key points

  • Riel's resignation as board chair takes effect November 4, 2025; she stays on as a director.
  • James A. Soltesz becomes Chairman and Louis P. "Pete" Mathews Jr. becomes Vice Chairman, both effective November 4, 2025.
  • Her CEO resignation will take effect on a date mutually agreed with the boards, no later than December 31, 2026.
