Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers, Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers, Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On February 11, 2021, the Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of Summit Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (the “Committee”) approved the Twelfth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement of H. Charles Maddy, III, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, to extend the term of Mr. Maddy’s Employment Agreement dated March 4, 2005, for an additional year until March 4, 2024. A copy of the Twelfth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On February 11, 2021, the Committee adopted the Executive Officer Management Incentive Plan for 2021. The Executive Officer Management Incentive Plan for 2021 provides executive officers of the Company with the opportunity to earn a bonus payment varying between 15 to 30 percent of the executive officer’s base salary as of January 1, 2021 multiplied by a multiplier based on the Company’s return on average tangible equity (“ROATE”) for 2021. The targeted range for the Company’s ROATE for 2021 is 12.50 to 13.49 percent. If the Company’s actual ROATE for 2021 is within this targeted range, each executive officer will receive an incentive payment varying between 15 to 30 percent of their respective annual base salary as of January 1, 2021 (the “Targeted Incentive”).

If the Company’s actual ROATE for 2021 is greater than the targeted range, executive officers will be eligible to receive an incentive that is greater than the Targeted Incentive; conversely, if the Company’s actual ROATE for 2021 is less than the targeted range, executive officers will be eligible to receive an incentive that is less than the Targeted Incentive. No incentive payments will be made if the Company’s actual ROATE is less than 10.50%.

No incentives may be made under the Executive Officer Management Incentive Plan for 2021 if at December 31, 2021 through the time of payment of the incentive in 2022, the Company or any affiliate is subject to any active or pending, formal or informal, agreement or enforcement action to which any bank regulatory authority is a party, including, but not limited to a memorandum of understanding, written agreement, or order of cease and desist.

A copy of the Executive Officer Management Incentive Plan for 2021 is included as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by reference. The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Executive Officer Management Incentive Plan for 2021 attached as Exhibit 10.2.
