Item 5.02 Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Corporation”) announced that the Corporation and Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“the Bank,” wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation) entered into a severance agreement with Peter C. Fan, our Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Corporation and the Bank on May 22, 2025.

 The agreement expires on February 28, 2026, which may be extended for an additional year on the anniversary of the expiration date of the agreement by the Board of Directors.  The agreements provide for compensation in the event of an involuntary termination, other than for cause, within 12 months following a change in control of the Corporation or the Bank. If the employment of the executive is involuntarily terminated, other than for cause, within 12 months following a change in control of the Corporation or the Bank, or Mr. Fan terminates his employment within 12 months following a change in control because of any demotion, loss of title, office or significant authority, reduction in his annual compensation or benefits, or relocation of Mr. Fan’s principal place of employment more than 35 miles from the pre-change in control location, he would be entitled to payment and benefits. The agreements provide that the Bank must pay a lump sum payment equal to two times Mr. Fan’s then current base salary and a lump sum payment equal to two times the largest annual bonus paid to him during the two years prior to termination of employment. The Bank or its successor also would be obligated to continue his life, medical, dental, vision and disability coverage for a two-year period following termination of employment.
