Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 26, 2018, Coastal Financial Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with CJA Private Equity Financial Restructuring Master Fund I LP (the “Fund”) providing for the exchange of 261,444 shares of the Company’s Class C Nonvoting Common Stock, no par value per share (“Class CNon-Voting Common Stock”), for 261,444 shares of the Company’s voting common stock, no par value per share (“Voting Common Stock”).

The Class CNon-Voting Common Stock was originally issued to the Fund in a series of private placement transactions, and was issued to enable the equity ownership of the Fund to comply with applicable banking laws and regulations. The Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Fund and the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”) the Class CNon-Voting Common Stock was convertible into Voting Common Stock, subject to certain limitations.

The number of shares that the Fund received pursuant to the Exchange Agreement is equal to the number of shares of Voting Common Stock that the Fund would have received upon conversion of theNon-Voting Common Stock. The exchange transactions were effected because theNon-Voting Common Stock could only be converted at the time of a transfer or sale of theNon-Voting Common Stock that satisfied certain conditions set forth in the Articles of Incorporation. The Voting Common Stock issued upon exchange of theNon-Voting Common Stock was offered and exchanged in reliance on exemptions from registration provided by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

A copy of the Exchange Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Exchange Agreement.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The Company received no cash proceeds as a result of the exchange transaction.

On September 26, 2018, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with the holder of the Company’s Class B Nonvoting Common Stock, no par value per share (“Class BNon-Voting Common Stock”) providing for the exchange of 100,000 shares of the Company’s Class B

Non-voting Common Stock for 100,000 shares of the Company’s Voting Common Stock. On September 28, 2018 the Company issued to such holder 100,000 shares of its Voting Common Stock in exchange for 100,000 shares of Class BNon-Voting Common Stock held of record by such holder in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. The Company received no cash proceeds as a result of the exchange transaction.

As a result of the foregoing transactions, the Company has no shares of Class BNon-Voting Common Stock or Class CNon-Voting Common Stock outstanding.
