**申報類型**：8-K（即時報告）
**申報公司**：Central Plains Bancshares, Inc.（納斯達克代碼：CPBI）
**報告日期**：2026年7月13日
**事件日期**：2026年7月8日
**重點事件**：
公司旗下全資附屬銀行 Home Federal Savings and Loan Association of Grand Island 與執行副總裁兼財務總監 Bradley M. Kool 簽訂了一份控制權變更協議（Change in Control Agreement）。
**協議主要條款**：
- 初始任期為三年，每年10月24日前由董事會獨立成員進行績效評估，若決定不續約，須於適當年日前通知。
- 若控制權變更發生在協議有效期內，協議將自動延長兩年（自變更生效日起計）。
- 若Kool先生的僱傭因「無故」被終止，或因「正當理由」辭職，他將獲得一次性遣散費，金額等於以下兩項總和的三倍：
(1) 終止日或控制權變更前（以較高者為準）的基薪；
(2) 控制權變更發生年度或之前三個曆年中最高年度現金獎金。
- 若Kool選擇COBRA延續保險，公司將報銷最多18個月的每月保費。
- 「正當理由」定義包括：
- 基薪大幅減少
- 職權、職責或權力大幅削弱
- 工作地點搬遷導致每日通勤增加35英里或以上
- 銀行嚴重違反協議
**對投資者的潛在影響** 💼
此類控制權變更協議屬於典型的高管留任工具，旨在保障核心管理層在潛在收購或控制權變更期間的穩定性，避免人才流失。然而，協議中三倍薪酬加獎金的遣散條款（即「金色降落傘」）可能增加公司被收購時的成本，股東需留意相關費用對每股價值的影響。協議已作為 Exhibit 10.1 歸檔，細節可查閱原文。
**其他事項**：本次申報不涉及財務業績或營運展望。
