This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Citizens Holding Company (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 1, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported only Item 7.01 "Regulation FD Discloure" without the required inclusion of Item 3.01 "Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing".

The Company expects the delisting to be effective on December 14, 2023. Additionally, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about December 11, 2023 to deregister its common stock under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s obligation to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act will be suspended immediately upon the filing of the Form 15.
