Item 5.02(b) Chief Financial Officer Transition
On August 21, 2026, Kitty Payne notified USBC, Inc. (the "Company") of her intention to transition from the position of Chief Financial Officer of the Company to the position of Chief Financial Officer of Vast Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vast Holdings, Inc., an affiliated entity that is also majority-owned by the Company’s Chairman and CEO, Robert Gregory Kidd.
Ms. Payne notified the Company that she will begin serving as Chief Financial Officer of Vast Bank, a national bank chartered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, effective August 31, 2026.
Ms. Payne’s transition to the role of Chief Financial Officer of Vast Bank reflects the continued advancement of the Company's tokenized deposit initiative, and will allow her to bring her experience to support Vast Bank as the initial issuing bank of the initiative. Her decision is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
The Company has identified Ms. Payne's successor and expects to announce the appointment separately.
