On March 10, 2026, Scott Smith, who has served as a Director of Independent Bank Corp. (the "Company") and Rockland Trust Company ("Rockland Trust") since April 1, 2019, and a member of the Trust Committee of the Board since April 2023, notified the Company and Rockland Trust of his voluntary decision not to stand for re-election at the Company's May 14, 2026 Annual Shareholder Meeting. Mr. Smith, therefore, will cease to serve as a Director as of the Annual Shareholder Meeting.
The voluntary decision of Mr. Smith not to stand for re-election was not due to any disagreement between him and the Company, Rockland Trust, the Board, or management.
