Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 1, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Artesian Resources Corporation (the “Company”) elected Salvatore J. “Chip” Rossi to serve as a director for the remainder of the three-year term class that expires at the Annual Meeting of the Class B Voting Common shareholders to be held in 2027 and until his respective successor shall be elected and qualified.

Mr. Rossi, age 58, most recently served as head of Prepaid Card Unemployment Programs at Bank of America, N.A. from September 2021 through June 2025 and president of Bank of America Delaware from April 2010 through June 2025. He joined Bank of America full-time in 1989 and prior to his most recent role, starting in 2018, he held the position of Global Compliance and Operational Risk Operations executive. Previously, he was also Bank of America’s Consumer and Global Wealth & Investment Management Chief Risk Officer. The Board determined that Mr. Rossi’s financial expertise, along with his extensive knowledge in risk management and understanding of the Delaware community, make him well qualified to serve on the Board.

Mr. Rossi will serve on the Company’s Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, Budget and Finance Committee, and the Governance and Nominating Committee. He will be compensated for his service on the Board and its committees in a manner consistent with the Company’s existing compensation arrangements for non-employee directors.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Rossi and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there are no transactions in which Mr. Rossi has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
