<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">This Supplement, dated May 16, 2022, provides updated information with respect to the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders (the &#8220;Annual Meeting&#8221;) of RBB Bancorp (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) to be held on Wednesday, May 18, 2022.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">On or about April 18, 2022, the Company commenced the distribution of a Notice of 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement (collectively, the &#8220;Proxy Statement&#8221;) to its shareholders. This Supplement, which describes a recent change in the proposed nominees for election to the Company&#8217;s Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) and corrects certain disclosure concerning the Board&#8217;s previous determination that all of the Company&#8217;s current directors and director nominees are independent, should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><b>Resignation of Directors and Withdrawal of Director Nominees for Election</b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">As previously disclosed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) on May 9, 2022, Alfonso Lau, a member of the Board and a nominee for election as a director at the Annual Meeting, resigned from the Board effective May 5, 2022 due to personal reasons<b>.</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;The nomination of Mr. Lau for election as a director at the Annual Meeting has been withdrawn.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">As also previously disclosed by the Company on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022, Raymond Yu a member of the Board and a nominee for election as a director at the Annual Meeting,&nbsp;resigned from the Board effective May 10, 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp; In his letter of resignation, Mr. Yu cited certain disagreements with respect to the Board&#8217;s director independence and potential conflicts of interest determinations, as well as the Company&#8217;s disclosures related to those matters.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><b>Proposed Change to Elect the Remaining 12 Director Nominees in Proposal 1</b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">In light of Messrs. Lau&#8217;s and Yu&#8217;s resignations from the Board and the subsequent withdrawal of their names as nominee for election as a director, Proposal 1 in the Proxy Statement now proposes to elect the twelve (12) remaining director nominees named in the Proxy Statement to hold office until his or her respective successor has been elected and qualified.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">Following Mr. Yu&#8217;s resignation, the Board decreased its size to thirteen (13).</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;"><b>Director Independence </b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">The Company previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement that the Board had determined that all of the Company&#8217;s current directors and director nominees qualify as independent under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;). Ms. Fui Ming (Catherine) Thian does not qualify as independent because her brother, who recently resigned as the Company&#8217;s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, was an executive officer of the Company within the past three years. The reference in the Proxy Statement to Ms. Thian qualifying as independent was a scrivener&#8217;s error.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">The Company disclosed in the Proxy Statement that the Board determined that director Peter Chang and director Chie-Min (Christopher)&nbsp;Koo did not satisfy Board-approved independence standards for service on the Board&#8217;s Audit Committee or Nominating and Governance Committee because Messrs. Chang and Koo were involved in a previously-undisclosed outside business venture with Mr. Simon Pang, the Company&#8217;s Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer.&nbsp; Such outside business venture did not do any business with the Company. As&nbsp;such, Messrs. Chang and Koo resigned from these Board committees.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, the Board determined that Messrs. Chang and Koo Chang satisfied the general director independence standards established by The Nasdaq Stock Market.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;text-align:justify;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 8pt;">Subsequent to the filing of the Proxy Statement and Mr. Yu&#8217;s resignation, although the Board is not currently aware of any information that would cause the Board to change its general director independence determinations with respect to Messrs. Chang and Koo, the Board, in an abundance of caution, determined to withdraw such determinations with respect to Messrs. Chang and Koo. In addition, the Board resolved to investigate the issues raised in Mr. Yu&#8217;s resignation letter in order to determine whether the involved directors may be deemed to be independent. The Company notes that regardless of the independence of Messrs. Chang and Koo, the Company continues to meet the independent director requirements under applicable Nasdaq stock market listing rules.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:10pt;font-variant:normal;margin:0pt;">&nbsp;</p>
