Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On October 20, 2026, Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the "Northrim") held a virtual special meeting of shareholders (the "Special Meeting") in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 22, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), among Northrim, PBCO Financial Corporation (“PBCO”), and Whitewater Sub, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Northrim (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, PBCO will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger (the “Merger”), and immediately following the Merger, the Merger Sub will merge with and into Northrim, with Northrim continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Step Merger”, and together with the Merger, the “Mergers”). At the Special Meeting, Northrim’s shareholders considered a proposal to approve the issuance of Northrim common stock in connection with the Merger as merger consideration to holders of PBCO common stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which is described more fully in the joint proxy statement/prospectus of Northrim and PBCO, dated September 17, 2026, as supplemented by certain Northrim filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the date of the Special Meeting. There were 22,244,766 shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting; of those shares, 16,004,304, or 72% were present online or by proxy. The following matters were voted upon at the Special Meeting:

(d) Exhibit No.						Description

99.1						Press Release dated October 22, 2026
104						Cover Page Interactive Data File (embedded within the inline XBRL document)

This communication may contain certain forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, certain plans, expectations, goals, projections, and statements about the benefits of the proposed business combination transaction by and among Northrim, Merger Sub, and PBCO. This filing and the exhibits hereto contain forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements can often, but not always, be identified by the use of words like “believe”, “continue”, “pattern”, “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “expect” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “might”, “can”, “may”, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the expected timing of the Merger by and among Northrim, Merger Sub, and PBCO and expectations, goals, projections and benefits relating to the Merger, as well as other statements regarding Northrim’s goals, intentions and expectations, business

plan and growth strategies, and the anticipated future performance of Northrim, whether with respect to the Merger or otherwise.

Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead express only Northrim management’s beliefs regarding future results or events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of management’s control. Actual results and outcomes may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results or outcomes indicated in these forward-looking statements because of risks and uncertainties, including, but are not limited to the risk that: (1) the business of PBCO may not be integrated with Northrim’s business successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (2) any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed Merger may not be realized or may not be realized within the expected time period; (3) customer and employee relationships and business operations may be disrupted by the Merger, and the parties may be challenged in retaining key relationships both during the pendency of the Merger and following the completion of the merger if that occurs; (4) the parties may not meet expectations regarding the timing of the proposed Merger; (5) required regulatory approvals may not be obtained or such approvals may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; (6) there may be challenges in satisfying the other conditions to completion of the Merger or the Merger may fail to close for any other reason; (7) management’s attention may be diverted from ongoing business operations and opportunities due to the proposed Merger; and (8) there may be potential negative impacts caused by the dilution resulting from Northrim’s issuance of shares of Northrim common stock in connection with the Merger. Please refer to Northrim’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 6, 2026, as well as Northrim’s other filings with the SEC, for a more detailed discussion of risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed merger or other matters attributable to Northrim or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Except as required by law, Northrim does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking information contained in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
