Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) (this “Amendment”) is being filed by SmartFinancial, Inc. (the “Company”) to amend the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 7, 2019 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Company is filing this Amendment solely for the purpose of disclosing the Company’s decision with respect to the frequency of future non-binding shareholder advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. This Amendment does not amend, modify, or supplement the Original Form 8-K in any other respect.

Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(d) As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, at the 2019 annual meeting of Company shareholders held on May 2, 2019 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders voted, on a non-binding, advisory basis, on the frequency with which Company shareholders should have future non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. A majority of the shares voted on this proposal at the Annual Meeting voted in favor of shareholders having a non-binding, advisory vote on named executive officer compensation every three years, which was consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting. In light of this shareholder vote and in accordance with its recommendation in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, the Company’s board of directors has determined that the Company will hold a non-binding shareholder advisory vote on named executive officer compensation every three years until the next required vote on the frequency of future non-binding shareholder advisory votes on named executive officer compensation. The Company is required to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on named executive officer compensation no less frequently than every six years.
