INDEPENDENT BANK CORP 8-K

What Happened
Independent Bank Corp (INDB) announced in an 8-K filed April 13, 2026 (Item 5.02) that director Mary L. Lentz retired from the Company’s Board of Directors and from Rockland Trust Company effective April 11, 2026. Lentz had served on Independent Bank Corp’s board since 2016 and on its Audit Committee since 2018; she joined the Company’s Risk Committee in 2024. Her retirement followed the Company’s Governance Principles, which require directors to retire upon reaching age 72.

Key Details

• Mary L. Lentz retired effective April 11, 2026.
• Board service began in 2016; Audit Committee member since 2018; Risk Committee member since 2024.
• Retirement occurred because the Company’s Governance Principles make directors ineligible to serve once they attain age 72.
• The 8-K was filed April 13, 2026 (Item 5.02); no successor or replacement was named in the filing.

Why It Matters
A board member departure affects board composition and committee membership, which can influence corporate oversight of audit, risk and governance matters. This filing documents a planned, policy-driven transition (age-based retirement) rather than an unplanned exit; investors should watch for any subsequent filings naming a replacement or changes to committee assignments.
