Hoeweler also introduced President and Chief Executive Officer Tim O’Dell and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Kevin Beerman, and said all directors of CFBank and CF Bankshares were participating in the virtual meeting.

Shareholders Elect Two Directors

The primary business of the meeting was the election of two directors to three-year terms. Hoeweler and Bradley J. Ringwald, both current directors of the company, were nominated for re-election to terms expiring at the 2029 annual meeting, or until their successors are elected and qualified.

According to the preliminary voting report presented at the meeting, both Hoeweler and Ringwald were elected as directors of the company for three-year terms expiring in 2029.

Executive Compensation Advisory Vote Approved

Shareholders also approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of the company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting. The resolution covered the compensation tables, notes and narrative disclosures included under the heading “Compensation of Executive Officers” in the proxy statement.

The preliminary vote count indicated that at least a majority of votes cast were in favor of the advisory resolution.

Auditor Appointment Ratified

The third proposal was the ratification of Plante Moran, PLLC as CF Bankshares’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2026. Hoeweler said the company’s audit committee, with approval from the board of directors, had appointed Plante Moran for 2026, subject to shareholder ratification.

A preliminary count indicated that at least a majority of votes cast supported the ratification of Plante Moran’s appointment. Hoeweler said a representative of Plante Moran participated in the virtual meeting and was available to respond to appropriate questions relating to the auditor.
