Item 8.01 Other Information

At a meeting of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Enterprise Financial Services Corp (the “Company”) held on February 20, 2025, the Board determined the slate of directors to be nominated for re-election at the Company’s upcoming 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The slate approved by the Board is based on consideration of the ongoing work of the Board and the Company’s Nominating & Governance Committee (the “Committee”) in connection with its evaluation of Board size, expansion of Board skills and experiences and long-term strategic planning for the Company and its Board. Considerations included, without limitation, the Company’s strategic and operational priorities, the background and expertise of our current directors, anticipated retirements in accordance with the Company’s Non-Management Director Retirement Plan (and offers to accelerate certain of those retirements), and other offers not to stand for re-election to facilitate and support the Board’s governance strategic planning objectives.

Accordingly, Robert E. Guest, Jr., James M. Havel, Daniel A. Rodriguez and Eloise E. Schmitz will not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting and their terms as directors of the Board will end when their respective terms expire as of the Annual Meeting. Also as of the Annual Meeting, Messrs. Guest, Havel and Rodrigues and Ms. Schmitz will further cease to be members of the Board of Directors of the Company’s subsidiary, Enterprise Bank & Trust.

In accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, effective as of the Annual Meeting, the size of the Board will be reduced from fifteen (15) to eleven (11).
