EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by First BanCorp (the “Corporation”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 31, 2025 (the “Original Form 8-K”) regarding the retirement of Cassan Pancham as Executive Vice President and Business Group Executive and his transition to a non-employee consultant of the Corporation. This Amendment provides a description of the terms of Mr. Pancham’s consulting agreement.

On May 16, 2025, Mr. Pancham and FirstBank Puerto Rico, a subsidiary of the Corporation, entered into a Professional Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) under which Mr. Pancham will provide consulting and advisory services as an independent contractor to the Corporation from May 16, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (the “Term”). The Agreement may be renewed upon mutual agreement of the parties prior to the end of the Term. During the Term of the Agreement, the Corporation shall pay Mr. Pancham an hourly fee of $250 for the services provided pursuant to the Agreement. Mr. Pancham will allocate a minimum of twenty (20) hours per month to providing such services to the Corporation, but will not exceed forty (40) hours per month, without prior approval by the Corporation.

The Agreement also provides that, during the Term, Mr. Pancham shall provide consulting services to the Corporation in connection with its mortgage and insurance businesses, as well as matters related to FirstBank Puerto Rico’s business and operations in the Virgin Islands region. The Agreement contains customary confidentiality provisions, as well as customary non-solicitation and non-competition provisions that apply for a period of twelve (12) months following termination of the Agreement.

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
