Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Holders of record of common stock at the close of business on April 7, 2026 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to the notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 117,085,713 shares of common stock (excluding 73,741 treasury shares) outstanding which were owned by 257 shareholders of record.
What is the quorum for the Annual Meeting?
Holders of at least a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, represented in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes determining whether there is a quorum.
When a beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee that holds its shares in street name, such broker, bank or other nominee may not vote those shares on matters deemed non-routine. Such uninstructed shares held by brokers or other nominees are referred to as broker non-votes. All of the proposals at the Annual Meeting are non-routine, except for the proposal to ratify the appointment of Baker Tilly US, LLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2026.
If less than a quorum is represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting without further notice. At such adjourned meeting, at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
How many votes do I have?
Other than cumulative voting for election of directors, each share of common stock entitles its owner to one vote on all matters brought before the Annual Meeting. See below What vote is needed to approve each proposal? How do abstentions or broker non-votes affect the voting results?
What vote is needed to approve each proposal? How do abstentions or broker non-votes affect the voting results?
The following table summarizes the vote threshold required for approval of each proposal and the effect on the outcome of the vote of abstentions and broker non-votes.

No. |  |  | Proposal |  |  | Vote Required For Approval |  |  | Effect of Abstentions (or the Withholding of Authority) |  |  | Effect of Broker Non-Votes
1. |  |  | Director Election Proposal |  |  | Plurality – seven director nominees who receive the most “FOR” votes will be elected to serve on the Board |  |  | No effect |  |  | No effect
2. |  |  | Reverse Stock Split Proposal |  |  | Number of votes cast in favor exceeds number of votes cast in opposition |  |  | No effect |  |  | No effect
3. |  |  | Ratification of Auditors Proposal |  |  | Number of votes cast in favor exceeds number of votes cast in opposition |  |  | No effect |  |  | No effect

Your shares will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you are a shareholder of record and sign, date and return a proxy card but do not indicate how you wish to vote your shares, the appointed proxies named on the proxy card will vote your shares “FOR” each of the nominees with respect to Proposal 1, “FOR” Proposals 2 and 3 and in the discretion of the appointed proxies named on the proxy card with respect to any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
Shareholders may cumulate their votes for the Director Election Proposal. Cumulative voting allows a shareholder to allocate among the director nominees, as the shareholder sees fit, the total number of votes equal to the number of director positions to be filled multiplied by the number of shares held by the shareholder. For example, if a shareholder owns 100 shares of common stock, and there are seven directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting, a shareholder may allocate 700 “for” votes (seven multiplied by 100) among as few or as many of the seven nominees to be voted on at the Annual Meeting as the shareholder chooses. Cumulative voting applies only to the election of directors and not to other proposals. If you are a shareholder of record and choose to cumulate your votes, you will need to submit a proxy card and make an explicit statement of your intent to cumulate your votes by so indicating in writing on the proxy card. If you hold shares beneficially through a broker, bank or other nominee and wish to cumulate votes, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee. You will not be able to submit cumulated vote allocation instructions for director elections if you grant a proxy by telephone or the Internet; thus, if you wish to cumulate your votes, you should submit a paper proxy card.

How do I vote if I am a shareholder of record?

| Visit www.proxyvote.com and vote online. Online voting will end at 11:59 p.m. local time on May 19, 2026. |  |  | Call 1-800-690-6903. to vote your shares.

How do I vote if I am a beneficial owner of shares?
If you hold your shares of common stock through a broker, bank or other financial institution, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and you will receive instructions on how to vote from your broker, bank or other nominee. If you hold shares of common stock in street name and wish to vote in person at the Annual
Meeting, you must present a legal proxy validating your ownership of the shares of common stock that you intend to vote from your bank, broker or other nominee that held your shares of common stock as of the Record Date. You will also need proof of identity to attend the Annual Meeting.
What do I do if I receive more than one proxy?
If you hold shares directly as a record holder and also in “street name,” or otherwise through a nominee, you may receive more than one proxy or voting information form relating to the Annual Meeting. These should each be voted or returned separately to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Can I revoke my proxy or change my vote after I vote by proxy?
If you are a shareholder of record, you can revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:

• | giving written notice to our Corporate Secretary, 900 Bedford Street, Stamford, Connecticut 06901;

• | delivering a valid, later-dated proxy, or a later-dated vote by telephone or on the Internet, in a timely manner; or

• | voting in-person at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee that is the holder of record and following their instructions for how to do so.
Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?
We will pay all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies. In addition to solicitation by mail, our officers, directors and regular employees, who will receive no additional compensation for their services, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone, facsimile, email or the Internet. We have requested that brokers, banks and other nominees who hold stock in their names furnish this proxy material to their customers. We will reimburse these brokers, banks and nominees for their out-of-pocket and reasonable expenses.
Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?
Other than the proposals discussed in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any matters that will be presented and voted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you return your signed and completed proxy card or vote by telephone or on the Internet and other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, the persons named in the accompanying proxy card will have the discretion to vote for you on such matters and intend to vote the proxies in accordance with their best judgment.

PROPOSAL 1 - DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL
In 2025, the Board consisted of Steven A. Sugarman, Michael A. Carrazza, Edward N. Constantino, Emile Van den Bol, Anahit Magzanyan, Carlos P. Salas, Mario De Tomasi, Jonathan Roth, Jeffrey Seabold and Ida Liu. Patriot’s shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the election of seven nominees listed below to each serve as a director of Patriot.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements entered into in connection with the private placement on March 20, 2025 (the “Private Placement”), the Lead Investor as well as each Co-Lead Investor who, together with its affiliates holds, in the aggregate, shares of common stock equal to at least 4.9% of shares of common stock then outstanding has the right to designate one director for election to the Board (each, a “Board Representative”), and the Company is required to promptly cause such Board Representatives to be elected or appointed to the Board. None of the nominees at the Annual Meeting are Board Representatives designated by the Lead or Co-Lead Investors.
The Board nominated, upon the recommendation of the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee, each of the following individuals for election as a director at the Annual Meeting: Steven A. Sugarman, Carlos P. Salas, Edward N. Constantino, Anahit Magzanyan, Jonathan Roth, Jeffrey Seabold, and Mario De Tomasi, each an incumbent director.
The nominations were based, in part, on the nominees’ various experiences, skills, and qualifications. The Board believes these attributes help enable the Board to provide insightful leadership and oversight.
The following table sets forth the name, age, position with the Company, as of the date of this proxy statement, of each nominee for director:

Name |  |  | Age |  |  | Current Position with the Company
Steven A. Sugarman |  |  | 51 |  |  | Director and Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Bank

Jeffrey Seabold |  |  | 59 |  |  | Director of Company and Bank
Mario De Tomasi |  |  | 65 |  |  | Director of Company and Bank

Each of the seven nominees, if elected, will hold office for a term that expires at the next annual meeting of shareholders. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he or she was elected and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. Proxies solicited by the Board will, unless otherwise directed, be voted to elect the seven nominees named in this proxy statement.
If elected by shareholders, each of Edward N. Constantino, Anahit Magzanyan, Jonathan Roth, and Mario De Tomasi is expected to qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq listing standards.
All nominees have consented to be named and have indicated their intent to serve if elected. In the event any of the nominees shall be unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the persons named in the proxy intend to vote “FOR” the election of any person as may be nominated by the Board in substitution.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors’ primary responsibility is to seek to maximize long-term shareholder value. The Board selects our management, monitors management and Company performance, and provides advice and counsel to management. Among other things, the Board of Directors regularly reviews our business strategy and approves our budget. In fulfilling the Board’s responsibilities, non-employee directors have full access to our management, external auditors and outside advisers.
Committees of the Board of Directors
The members of our Board devote time and talent to certain standing committees. Among these committees are the Audit Committee, Strategic and Executive Committee, and Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee. The principal functions and members of each committee are described below.
Audit Committee
The functions of the Audit Committee include (i) reviewing and recommending policies regarding internal audit and credit review, (ii) establishing and implementing policies to comply with applicable regulations, (iii) causing suitable audits to be made by auditors engaged by the Audit Committee on our behalf, and (iv) pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the auditors. The Audit Committee or its Chairman also discusses with the independent auditors the auditors’ review of our unaudited quarterly financial statements. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, which was adopted by the Board and a copy of which is available on our website at https://pnbk.q4ir.com/overview/committee-charters/default.aspx. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Constantino (Chairman) and De Tomasi and Ms. Magzanyan, each of whom is an independent director as defined by the SEC and NASDAQ rules. The Board has determined that Mr. Constantino, Mr. De Tomasi, and Ms. Magzanyan have the professional experience necessary to qualify as Audit Committee financial experts under SEC rules. During 2025, the Audit Committee met 10 times.
Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee

corporate governance. In performing its duties, the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee may engage consultants to assist it in determining the amount or form of executive and director compensation. The Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee consults with our executive officers in determining executive and director compensation. The Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, which was adopted by the Board and a copy of which is available on our website at https://pnbk.q4ir.com/overview/committee-charters/default.aspx. The current members of the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee are Messrs. De Tomasi (Chairman) and Constantino, and Ms. Magzanyan, each of whom is an independent director as defined by NASDAQ rules. During 2025, the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee met 7 times.
Strategic and Executive Committee
The Strategic and Executive Committee exercises, if needed and when the Board is not in session, all powers of the Board that may lawfully be delegated. The current members of the Strategic and Executive Committee are Messrs. Sugarman, Carrazza, and De Tomasi. During 2025, the Executive Committee met 3 times.
Nomination Process
The process of reviewing and making recommendations for nominations and appointments to the Board is the responsibility of the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee. Our directors have a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and in overseeing management. The Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee will consider candidates for the Board based upon several criteria, including their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, concern for the long-term interests of shareholders, personal integrity and judgment. Directors must have time available to devote to Board activities and to enhance their knowledge of the banking industry. Accordingly, the Board seeks to attract and retain highly qualified directors who have sufficient time to attend to their substantial duties and responsibilities for us, and who are expected to contribute to an effective Board.
The Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee utilizes the following process for identifying and evaluating nominees to the Board. In the case of incumbent directors, each year the Board informally reviews each director’s overall service to us during the term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation and performance. In the case of new director candidates, the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee may solicit from existing directors the names of potential candidates who meet the criteria above; the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee may discuss candidates suggested by our shareholders; and, if deemed appropriate by the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee may engage a professional search firm. To date, the Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee has not engaged a professional search firm to identify or evaluate potential nominees, but it retains the right to do so in the future, if necessary. The Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee meets to discuss and consider these candidates’ qualifications and then chooses new candidates by majority vote.
Shareholder Nominations
Under our Bylaws, nominations for directors may be made by any shareholder of any outstanding class of our capital stock who delivers notice, along with the additional information and materials required by our Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation, to our President not fewer than 14 days and not more than 50 days before the Annual Meeting.

In addition, the nomination should include any other information relating to the proposed nominee required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC and the nominee’s written consent to serve as a director if elected.

All of our directors, officers and employees are required to comply with the Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) adopted by our Board of Directors. The Code of Ethics was adopted to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; full, fair, accurate and timely disclosure in public documents; compliance with law; prompt internal reporting of Code of Ethics violations, and accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

(1) | The “Stock Awards” column represents the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718 for awards of restricted stock units granted under our 2025 Plan during fiscal 2025. We calculated the estimated fair value of the restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards using the market price of our common stock on the grant date. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate number of unvested RSU and stock awards issued under our 2025 Plan held by each of our non-employee directors was as follows: Michael A. Carrazza – 66,667; Edward N. Constantino –68,988; Mario De Tomasi – 66,667; Anahit Magzanyan – 66,667; Jonathan Roth – 37,727; Jeffrey Seabold – 400,000 and options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock; Ida Liu – 37,727; and Emile Van den Bol – 52,321.

(2) | Mr. Seabold did not receive the non-employee director compensation described below. Mr. Seabold’s compensation is pursuant to a separate Director’s Services Agreement with the Bank under which he has received RSUs, stock options, and cash compensation.

(3) | Jonathan Roth and Ida Liu were appointed to the Board of Directors effective November 19, 2025. Amounts reflect compensation earned from their respective appointment dates through December 31, 2025.

(4) | Ms. Liu’s unvested restricted stock awards were forfeited upon her resignation from the Board effective April 2, 2026.

The Company’s directors who are also executive officers do not receive compensation for service on the Board of Directors or any of its committees. On an annual basis, each of the Company’s non-employee directors receives annual retainer fees of $50,000, and an additional $20,000 if they also serve on the Bank Board. In addition, a non-employee director who serves as the chair of the Audit Committee receives $15,000 and a non-employee-director chair of the Compensation, Nominating and Governance committees receives $5,000. In addition, each non-employee director receives an annual equity grant of restricted stock units with a grant date value of approximately $75,000 and an additional $25,000 in grant date value if they also serve on the Bank board. The restricted stocks units vest in full over three equal annual installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, except for Mr. Roth and Ms. Liu, who joined the Board in November 2025 and received a pro-rata award for that year, which vest on the same date as the other non-employee director awards described herein. The Company’s directors are also reimbursed for reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their service to the Company, including travel expenses.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
There are no family relationships among our executive officers and directors. In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has made loans to officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock (including loans to members of their immediate families and loans to companies of which a director owns 10% or more). In the opinion of management, all such loans were made in the ordinary course of business of the Bank on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral requirements, as those then prevailing for comparable transactions with persons not related to the lender. The Bank believes that at the time of origination such loans did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present any other unfavorable features.
As of December 31, 2025, loans to officers or directors and loans to beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock (including members of their immediate families and affiliates) aggregate to approximately $16.5 million. There were no loans to officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2024. Deposits from related parties aggregated $8.5 million and $63 thousand as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Michael Carrazza serves as the manager of Solaia Capital Holdings LLC that purchased the principal and accrued unpaid interest due on a Senior Note issued by us, and converted such principal and interest into shares of common stock, in May 2025 in compliance with the terms of the Amendment to the Senior Notes entered into with holders of the Senior Notes in March 2025.
Information about transactions involving related persons is assessed by the Company’s independent directors. Related persons include the Company’s directors and executive officers as well as immediate family members of such directors and officers. If the independent directors approve or ratify a material transaction involving a related person, then the transaction would be disclosed in accordance with the SEC rules. If the related person is a director, or a family member of a director, then that director would not participate in those discussions.
13

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder require our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file forms with the SEC to report their beneficial ownership of the Company’s shares and any changes in such ownership. We have reviewed all forms filed electronically with the SEC during, and with respect to, fiscal year 2025. Based on that review and written information given to us by all of our directors and executive officers, we believe that all of our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our stock filed on a timely basis all reports that they were required to file under Section 16(a) during fiscal year of 2025, except that each of Steven Sugarman, Anahit Magzanyan, Jeffrey Seabold and Angie Miranda was late in filing a Form 4 in connection with certain reportable transaction(s) that occurred in 2025, each of Jonathan Roth, Jeffrey Seabold and Ida Liu was late in filing a Form 3 related to his/her appointment as a director, and each of Angie Miranda and William Paul Simmons was late in filing a Form 3 related to his/her appointment as an officer.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP AND OTHER MATTERS
The table below provides certain information about beneficial ownership of common stock as of the Record Date with respect to: (i) each person, or group of affiliated persons, who is known to the Company to own more than five percent (5%) of common stock; (ii) each of the Company’s directors and nominees; (iii) each of the Company’s named executive officers; and (iv) all of the Company’s directors and executive officers as a group.
Except as otherwise noted, to the knowledge of the Company, all persons listed below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all shares of common stock they beneficially own, except to the extent authority is shared by spouses under applicable law. Applicable percentage ownership is based on 117,085,713 shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and applicable percentage of ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to options and warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty (60) days of the Record Date. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.
No beneficial owner shall be entitled to purchase voting common stock (“Voting Common Stock”) or convert any non-voting common stock (“Non-voting Common Stock”), preferred stock or warrant that would cause such beneficial owner (including its affiliates or any other persons with which such purchaser is acting in concert or whose holdings would otherwise be required to be aggregated for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the “BHC Act”) or the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978 (the “CIBC Act”), to acquire, or to obtain the right to acquire, more than 9.99% of the outstanding Securities or the voting securities of the Company (the “Non-Control Conditions”).

401(k) Plan
The Bank maintains a tax-qualified 401(k) Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code with a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code. Employees become eligible to make salary reduction contributions to the 401(k) Plan on the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date that the employee has attained 21 years of age and completed 1 month of service. Employees become eligible to receive any matching or discretionary contributions made to the 401(k) by the Bank after the completion of six months and at least 500 hours of service.
Under the 401(k) Plan, participants may elect to have the Bank contribute a portion of their compensation each year, subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. The 401(k) Plan permits the Bank to make discretionary matching and additional discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Participants in the 401(k) Plan may direct the investment of their accounts in several types of investment funds.
Participants are always 100% vested in their elective deferrals, matching and discretionary matching contributions and related earnings under the 401(k) Plan.
Amended and Restated 2020 Stock Plan
In 2011, the Company adopted the Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which was approved and ratified by shareholders of the Company on December 13, 2011. On November 1, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment of the 2012 Plan and renamed it as the Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. 2020 Restricted Stock Award Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which was approved and ratified by shareholders of the Company on December 22, 2021.
On November 10, 2022, the Board approved the Amendment and Restatement of the 2020 Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2020 Plan”), which was approved and ratified by shareholders of the Company on December 14, 2022. The 2020 Plan was amended primarily to (i) reduce the total number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder from 3,000,000 to 400,000; and (ii) limit the maximum number of shares of Company’s common stock granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director, together with any cash fees paid to such director, to be no more than a total value of $300,000. The Amended and Restated 2020 Plan terminated on December 31, 2025.
Prior to its termination, the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan was administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Grants under the 2020 Plan were made in the form of restricted stock. Only directors and employees of the Company were eligible to receive grants of restricted stock under the 2020 Plan. The grants of restricted stock were subject to vesting, in one or more installments, upon the happening of certain events, and upon the passage of a certain period of time. The vesting of restricted stock awards may be accelerated in accordance with terms of the plan. As of December 31, 2025, 8,129 shares granted under the 2020 Plan remained unvested.
2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan
In March 2025, in connection with the Private Placement, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The shareholders of the Company ratified the 2025 Plan on June 26, 2025. The 2025 Plan is designed to provide the Company with a competitive advantage in attracting, retaining, and motivating officers, employees, directors, and consultants by offering incentives directly linked to shareholder value. The Compensation Committee of the Board will administer the Plan.
Under the 2025 Plan, various types of awards can be issued, including Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), Performance Units, and Other Stock-Based Awards, as defined within the 2025 Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock, Options, and/or Stock Appreciation Rights that may be granted under the 2025 Plan is capped at twenty percent (20%) of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock, including both voting and non-voting shares, with a minimum threshold of 10,000,000 shares.

PROPOSAL 2 – REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL
Background and Purpose
Our Board has adopted a resolution approving, and recommending that our shareholders approve a proposal to authorize the Board to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and restated (the “Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split of all issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share at a ratio within the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for 20, with the specific ratio to be selected by the Board at its sole discretion (the “Reverse Stock Split”) within one (1) year of stockholder approval, pursuant to a certificate of amendment to the Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation in substantially the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex A (the “Certificate of Amendment”). A 1-for-10 reverse stock split means that each ten (10) shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be combined into one (1) share of common stock after the Reverse Stock Split. A 1-for-20 reverse stock split means that each twenty (20) shares of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be combined into one (1) share of common stock after the Reverse Stock Split. For example, if a shareholder held 1,000 shares of common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, then following the Reverse Stock Split the shareholder would hold 100 shares if the ratio selected by the Board is 1-for-10, or 50 shares if the ratio selected by the Board is 1-for-20, in each case subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described below.
Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split
The reverse stock split is intended to reduce the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and proportionately increase the per-share trading price, which the Board of Directors believes will enhance the Company’s ability to satisfy Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in the Company’s common stock maintaining a price at or above $1.00 per share for the required period or that the Company will otherwise remain in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards.
In addition, the Board believes that a higher stock price may improve the marketability and liquidity of the Company’s common stock, make the stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and retail investors, and enhance the perception of the Company’s common stock as an investment security.
Effects of a Reverse Stock Split
If the reverse stock split is implemented, shares of issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically reclassified pursuant to the ratio determined by the Board and converted into one share of common stock, without any action on the part of stockholders. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of common stock outstanding consistent with the ratio determined by the Board and is subject to the treatment of fractional shares.
The reverse stock split will not change the authorized number of shares of common stock (unless otherwise disclosed), nor will it alter the par value of the common stock, except as may be required by applicable law. Each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company will remain substantially the same, except for minor changes that may result from the elimination of fractional shares.
The reverse stock split is a mechanical adjustment and will not affect the Company’s underlying business operations, assets, liabilities, or total stockholders’ equity, except for any changes resulting from the treatment of fractional shares.
There can be no assurance that the market price of the Company’s common stock will increase in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio, that the post-split trading price will be sustained, or that the reverse stock split will result in improved liquidity or increased investor interest. In some circumstances, the liquidity of the post-split common stock may be reduced due to the decreased number of outstanding shares.
Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split
Before voting on this Proposal 2, you should consider the following risks associated with the implementation of the reverse stock split:

• | While the Board believes that a higher stock price may reduce the Company’s risk of not satisfying Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement and help generate investor interest, there can be no assurance that the reverse stock split will result in any particular price for the Company’s common stock or result in a per share price that will attract institutional investors or investment funds or that such share price will satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. As a result, the trading liquidity of the Company’s common stock may not necessarily improve.

22

• | There can be no assurance that the market price per new share of the Company’s common stock after a reverse stock split will remain unchanged or increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of old shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding before the reverse stock split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of the Company’s common stock after the reverse stock split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the reverse stock split. Moreover, in the future, the market price of the Company’s common stock following the reverse stock split may not exceed or remain higher than the market price prior to the reverse stock split.

• | Although we expect that the reverse stock split will result in an increase in the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split, if implemented, will increase the market price of our common stock in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of common stock outstanding or result in a permanent increase in the market price. The effect the reverse stock split may have upon the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances to ours is varied. If the reverse stock split is effected and the market price of the Company’s common stock declines, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a reverse stock split. The market price of the Company’s common stock will, however, also be based on performance and other factors, which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. Furthermore, the liquidity of the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the reverse stock split.

Determination of Ratio
The ratio of the reverse stock split, if approved and implemented, will be a ratio of between 1-for-10 to 1-for-20 (or any whole number in between), as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, prior to the one-year anniversary of this Annual Meeting. Even if approved, the Board will have discretion to delay or not to implement the reverse stock split.
In determining the reverse stock split ratio, our Board will consider numerous factors, including:

• | the historical and projected performance of our common stock;

• | general economic and other related conditions prevailing in our industry and in the marketplace;

• | the projected impact of the selected reverse stock split ratio on trading liquidity in our common stock;

• | our capitalization (including the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding);

• | the prevailing trading price for our common stock and the volume level thereof; and

• | potential devaluation of our market capitalization as a result of a reverse stock split.

The purpose of asking for authorization to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to implement the reverse stock split at a ratio to be determined by the Board, as opposed to a ratio fixed in advance, is to give our Board the flexibility to take into account then-current market conditions and changes in price of our common stock and to respond to other developments that may be deemed relevant when considering the appropriate ratio.
Board Determination to Implement the Reverse Stock Split
If the reverse stock split is approved by the Company’s stockholders, it will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board that a reverse stock split (at a ratio determined by the Board as described above) is in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders. The Board’s determination as to whether the reverse stock split will be effected and, if so, at what ratio, will be based upon certain factors, including existing and expected marketability and liquidity of the Company’s common stock, prevailing market conditions and the likely effect on the market price of the Company’s common stock. If the Board determines to effect the reverse stock split, the Board will consider various factors in selecting the ratio including the overall market conditions at the time and the recent trading history of the common stock.
Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
A reverse stock split refers to a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of a class of a corporation’s capital stock, which may be accomplished, as in this case, by reclassifying and combining all of our outstanding shares of common stock into a proportionately smaller number of shares. For example, if our Board decides to implement a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our common stock, then a stockholder holding 10,000 shares of our common stock before the
23

reverse stock split would instead hold 1,000 shares of our common stock immediately after the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in our company or proportionate voting power, except for minor adjustments due to the additional net share fraction that will need to be issued as a result of the treatment of fractional shares. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, any stockholder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount determined by the Board based on its assessment of the fair value of the common stock.
The principal effect of the reverse stock split will be that (i) the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced to a number of shares between and including one-tenth to one-twentieth that amount, as the case may be based on the ratio for the reverse stock split as determined by our Board, and (ii) all outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock units, and other equity awards and securities of the Company that are exercisable for, convertible into, or otherwise entitling the holders thereof to purchase or receive shares of common stock will enable such holders to purchase or receive, upon exercise, settlement, conversion, exchange, or other realization of such options, warrants, restricted stock units, other equity awards or securities, as applicable, between and including one-tenth to one-twentieth of the number of shares of common stock which such holders would have been able to purchase or receive immediately preceding the reverse stock split, with an exercise price, purchase price, conversion price, or similar per share price, to the extent applicable, adjusted to be between and including 10 to 20 times the corresponding exercise price, purchase price, conversion price, or similar per share price in effect immediately before the reverse stock split, resulting in essentially the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor, as the case may be based on the ratio for the reverse stock split as determined by our Board. Other awards under our 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan would be subject to proportionate adjustments.
Accounting Matters
The reverse stock split will not affect the par value of our common stock. As a result, on the effective date of the reverse stock split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the common stock will be reduced to between and including one-tenth to one-twentieth of its present amount, as the case may be based on the ratio for the reverse stock split as determined by our Board, and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our per share net loss for each period presented in our financial statements will be retroactively increased for each period because there will be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding.
Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Stock Split
If this Proposal 2 is approved by our stockholders, the reverse stock split would become effective at such time prior to the one-year anniversary of this Annual Meeting as it is deemed by our Board to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and we file the reverse split amendment (the “Reverse Split Amendment”) to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Connecticut. Even if this Proposal 2 is approved by our stockholders, our Board has discretion not to carry out or to delay in carrying out the reverse stock split. Upon the filing of the Reverse Split Amendment, all the old common stock will be converted into new common stock as set forth in the Reverse Split Amendment.
As soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split, stockholders will be notified that the reverse stock split has been effected. If you hold shares of common stock in a book-entry form, you will receive a transmittal letter from our transfer agent as soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split with instructions on how to exchange your shares. If you would be entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split, the transmittal letter will also include information regarding the cash payment you will receive in lieu of such fractional share. After you submit your completed transmittal letter, a transaction statement will be sent to your address of record as soon as practicable after the effective date of the reverse stock split indicating the number of post-reverse stock split shares of common stock you hold.
After the effective date, the Company’s common stock will each have new committee on uniform securities identification procedures (“CUSIP”) numbers, which is a number used to identify the Company’s equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP numbers will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP numbers by following the procedures described above.
After the effective date, the Company will continue to be subject to periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. We anticipate that the Company’s Common Stock will continue to be reported on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “PNBK.”
24

Beginning on the effective date of the reverse stock split, each book-entry notation evidencing pre-split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-split shares.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Instead, any stockholder who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the process will receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share in an amount determined by the Board based on its assessment of the fair value of the common stock.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
The following summary describes, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to holders of Common Stock. This summary addresses the tax consequences only to a “U.S. holder,” which is a beneficial owner of Common Stock that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes either:

• | a citizen or individual resident of the United States;

• | a corporation, or other entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• | an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• | a trust, if: (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over its administration and one or more U.S. persons has the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (ii) it was in existence before August 20, 1996 and a valid election is in place under applicable Treasury regulations to treat such trust as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
The following discussion is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split, if effected, that may be relevant to holders of Common Stock that are U.S. Holders who hold such stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary is based on the provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor in light of its particular circumstances or to holders subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation: banks, insurance companies, thrift institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, pension plans, or other tax-deferred accounts, certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, partnerships or other pass-through entities, traders in securities that elect to mark to market and dealers in securities or currencies, persons that hold Common Stock as part of a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging transaction,” “conversion transaction” or other integrated investment transaction for federal income tax purposes, or persons that do not hold Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). This summary does not address backup withholding and information reporting. This summary does not address U.S. holders who beneficially own Common Stock through a “foreign financial institution” (as defined in Code Section 1471(d)(4)) or certain other non-U.S. entities specified in Code Section 1472. This summary does not address tax considerations arising under any state, local or non-U.S. laws, or under federal estate or gift tax laws.
General Tax Treatment of the Reverse Stock Split
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to qualify as a “recapitalization” under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as a recapitalization, and subject to the following discussion regarding a U.S. Holder’s receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share, a U.S. holder generally will not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of
25

Common Stock for a lesser number of Common Stock, based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio. Subject to the following discussion regarding a U.S. Holder’s receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share, a U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the lesser number of Common Stock received in the Reverse Stock Split will be the same such U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of Common Stock that such U.S. holder owned immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, and the holding period for Common Stock received in the Reverse Stock Split will include the period during which a U.S. holder held the shares of Common Stock that were surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split. United States Treasury regulations provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of Common Stock surrendered to the shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. U.S. holders of shares of Common Stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.
No fractional shares will be issued. U.S. holders who would have otherwise been due a fractional share will receive a cash payment instead of such fractional share. In general, a U.S. holder who receives cash payment in lieu of a fractional share will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the portion of the holder’s tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split shares that is allocable to the fractional share. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in its pre-reverse stock split shares is more than one year as of the reverse stock split date. The deductibility of net capital losses by individuals and corporations is subject to limitations.
THE FOREGOING IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A TAX OPINION. EACH HOLDER OF COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT TO THEM AND FOR REFERENCE TO APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE CODE.
Vote Required
Approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL.

PROPOSAL 3 - RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS PROPOSAL
The Audit Committee has appointed Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and to perform other appropriate accounting services. Baker Tilly has been engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm since August 22, 2025, and has no relationship with us other than that arising from their engagement as our independent registered public accounting firm.

If the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will re-evaluate its appointment, taking into consideration the shareholders’ vote. However, the Audit Committee is solely responsible for the appointment and termination of the Company’s auditors and may do so at any time in its discretion.
Representatives of Baker Tilly plan to be present at the Annual Meeting and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee is currently comprised of three members of our Board of Directors. Based upon the review described under “CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - Independence of Board of Directors and Members of Its Committees” and “Independence Standards,” our Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent as defined in the applicable standards and rules of the Nasdaq and the SEC. The duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in the Audit Committee Charter.
In accordance with its written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee has oversight responsibility for the quality and integrity of the financial reporting practices of the Company. While the Audit Committee has oversight responsibility, the primary responsibility for the Company’s financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and related internal controls and procedures rests with management, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the Company’s financial statements. In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. The Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent accountant regarding such independence. Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The Audit Committee also has approved the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and has approved submitting such selection for approval and ratification by the shareholders.

Patriot National Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut (the "Corporation"), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:
