On November 8, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Southside Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), effective immediately.

In the event that the Chairman is an independent director, then no Lead Director shall be elected and the Chairman, so long as he or she remains an independent director, shall assume the powers and responsibilities of the Lead Director, which are set forth in Section 3.08.
The foregoing description of the Amendment to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
