As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting.

As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.

Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan&#8217;s provisions.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">General </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of National Bank Holdings Corporation (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) on November 5, 2014 and approved by the Company&#8217;s shareholders at its Annual Meeting on May 6, 2015. The Plan is designed to provide a convenient and attractive method for eligible employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to acquire an equity interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of the Company&#39;s common stock. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (&#8220;Plan Administrator&#8221;). For purposes of the Plan, a &#8220;Subsidiary&#8221; means a &#8220;Subsidiary Corporation&#8221; of the Company, whether now or hereafter existing, as such term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the &#8220;Code&#8221;). A &#8220;Participating Subsidiary&#8221; means any Subsidiary that the Plan Administrator designates from time to time as eligible to participate in this Plan. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">Common stock for the Plan is issued directly from the Company&#39;s authorized but unissued shares or previously issued shares reacquired and held by the Company (also known as treasury shares). The aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the Plan cannot exceed 400,000. Shares available for issuance at February 28, 2023 was 252,741.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">Certent, Inc. is the record keeper for the Plan.

In addition, employees must be customarily employed at least 20 hours per week.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">Employees who, immediately upon the grant of an option, as defined in the Plan document, own directly or indirectly, or hold options or rights to acquire, an aggregate of 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all outstanding shares of all classes of the Company&#39;s or any Subsidiary&#39;s stock are not eligible to participate.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">Each eligible employee may enroll in the Plan as of the first day of an offering period, as defined in the Plan, during an open enrollment period established by the Plan Administrator, which ends prior to the commencement of such offering period. The offering periods are 6-month periods beginning on March&#160;1 and September&#160;1 of each year and ending on August&#160;31 and February 28 (or February 29<sup style="font-size:7.5pt;vertical-align:top;"> </sup>in the case of a leap year) of each year, respectively.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.43;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Contributions</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">A Plan participant can contribute from 1% to 15% of the participant&#39;s &#8220;compensation,&#8221; as such term is defined in the Plan, through after-tax payroll deductions during the offering period. Participants may increase or decrease their withholding percentage once during each offering period. In addition to these limits, a participant cannot accrue rights to purchase shares of common stock through the Plan at an amount that exceeds $25,000 for the calendar year, as measured by the fair market value of shares as of the first day of an offering period pursuant to Section&#160;423 of the Code. The Company holds contributions of participants who remain employed with a Participating Subsidiary until the end of the offering period, at which point the Company issues shares for the contributions received. No interest is paid or accrued on the participants&#39; payroll deductions.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">Contributions received in excess of the $25,000 limit are refunded by the Company to participants as soon as administratively practicable. </p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;text-align:center;margin:0pt;">7</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:11pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div></div><hr style="background-color:#000000;clear:both;color:#000000;height:2pt;line-height:0;margin-bottom:30pt;margin-left:5.88%;margin-right:5.88%;margin-top:30pt;page-break-after:always;width:88.24%;border-width:0;"><div style="max-width:100%;padding-left:5.88%;padding-right:5.88%;position:relative;"><div style="clear:both;max-width:100%;position:relative;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Participant Withdrawals</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">A participant may suspend contributions or withdraw entirely from the Plan at any time during an offering period. A participant will continue to participate in the Plan unless the participant elects to withdraw during an open enrollment period. A participant who suspends contributions can choose to leave existing contributions in their account for the remainder of the offering period and stock will be purchased on the next purchase date. A participant whose employment with the Company or its subsidiaries is terminated, is not eligible to continue participation in the Plan. Upon termination of employment or death, the employee is no longer considered a participant in the Plan, and any accumulated contributions during an offering period are distributed to the employee or beneficiary, without interest, by the Company. Total refunds from the plan due to participant withdrawals and contribution limits were $64 thousand, $48 thousand and $43 thousand for the plan years ended February 28, 2023, February 28, 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.43;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><font style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Stock Purchase Provisions</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt;">On the first day of the offering period, eligible employees are granted the option, as defined in the Plan document, to purchase whole shares of the Company&#39;s common stock. Shares are recorded as purchased on the trade date, which is the last day of each offering period (&#8220;Purchase Date&#8221;). As soon as shares are purchased pursuant to the Plan, participants own the shares. Once shares are settled in the subsequent period, they are distributed to each Participant&#8217;s account. The purchase price per share of common stock issued by the Company is 90% of the fair market value of the Company&#39;s common stock on the Purchase Date. Fair market value is determined using the closing price of the Company&#39;s common stock as listed on the New York Stock Exchange. </p><p style="font-family:'Times New

Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">Although the Plan Administrator has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right to terminate the Plan at any time if determined it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In the event the Plan is terminated, the Plan Administrator may elect to restrict the purchase of shares under the Plan during the offering period in which the Plan was terminated. If such right is exercised, all funds contributed to the Plan that have not been used to purchase shares will be returned without interest to the participants.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">NOTE 2.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Plan Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of Plan assets and liabilities and disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of changes in income and Plan equity during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.  </font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;white-space:pre-wrap;">NOTE 3.  FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:10pt;line-height:1.19;margin:0pt 0pt 10pt 0pt;">The Plan is intended to constitute an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section&#160;<font style="white-space:pre-wrap;">423 of the Code. Issuance of shares under this Plan is not intended to result in taxable income to participants in the Plan based on provisions of the Code. Accordingly, the Plan is designed to be exempt from income taxes. The Company believes that the Plan has been operated in accordance with the Code and therefore no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.  The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.</font></p></div><div style="clear:both;margin-bottom:30pt;width:100%;"><p
