Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 29, 2016, Summit Community Bank, Inc. a West Virginia banking corporation (“Summit”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with Highland County Bankshares, Inc. (“HCB”), a Virginia corporation headquartered in Monterey, Virginia, pursuant to which Summit will acquire all of the outstanding shares of HCB common stock in exchange for cash in the amount of $38.00 per share, subject to an adjustment if HCB’s adjusted shareholders’ equity as of the effective date of the merger deviates materially from the target determined by the parties. Following the consummation of the acquisition of HCB, First and Citizens Bank, a Virginia corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of HCB will be consolidated into Summit. The Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been approved by the board of directors of each of Summit, the Company and HCB.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants from both Summit and HCB. Among other covenants, HCB has agreed: (i) to convene an appropriate meeting of its stockholders to consider and vote upon, among other things, the approval of the Agreement, (ii) that, subject to certain exceptions, the board of directors of HCB will recommend the adoption and approval of the Agreement and the merger by its stockholders, and (iii) not to solicit or encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to, or, subject to certain exceptions, engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information to, or have any discussions with any person relating to, any third-party acquisition proposals.

Completion of the merger is subject to various customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the Agreement by the stockholders of HCB, (ii) receipt of required regulatory approvals, (iii) the absence of legal impediments to the merger, and (iv) the absence of certain material adverse changes or events.

The Agreement contains certain termination rights for HCB and Summit, as the case may be. The Agreement further provides that, upon termination of the Agreement under certain circumstances, HCB will be required to pay to Summit a termination fee of $873,200.

In connection with HCB’s entry into the Agreement, each of HCB’s directors will sign a Support Agreement. The Support Agreement requires the directors, in their capacities as stockholders of HCB, to, except in certain circumstances, vote their respective shares in favor of the Agreement, to the extent such director has sole voting power or sole dispositive power over such shares.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide factual information about the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants of each party as set forth in the Agreement were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Agreement, may be subject to limitations, qualification and exceptions agreed upon or to be agreed upon by the parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures), may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

99.1 Press Release, dated February 29, 2016, issued by the Company.

99.2 Presentation of Pro Forma Financial Impact, dated February 29, 2016, issued by the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Report, the press release and presentation of pro forma financial impact contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about (i) the benefits of a merger between HCB and the Company, including future financial and operating results, cost savings enhancements to revenue and accretion to reported earnings that may be realized from the merger; (ii) the Company’s and HCB’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements contained in this Report, the press release or the presentation of pro forma financial impact that are not historical facts; and (iii) other statements identified by words such as “expects” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” or words of similar meaning generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the respective managements of the Company and HCB and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of HCB and the Company. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements because of possible uncertainties.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: (1) the businesses of the Company and HCB may not be combined successfully, or such combination may take longer, be more difficult, time-consuming or costly to accomplish than expected; (2) the expected growth opportunities or cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; (3) deposit attrition, operating costs, customer losses and business disruption following the merger, including adverse effects on relationships with employees, may be greater than expected; (4) the regulatory approvals required for the merger may not be obtained on the proposed terms or on the anticipated schedule; (5) the stockholders of HCB may fail to approve the merger; (6) legislative or

3

regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, may adversely affect the businesses in which the Company and HCB are engaged; (7) changes in the interest rate environment may adversely affect net interest income; (8) results may be adversely affected by continued diversification of assets and adverse changes to credit quality; (9) competition from other financial services companies in the Company’s and HCB’s markets could adversely affect operations; and (10) the economic slowdown could continue to adversely affect credit quality and loan originations. Additional factors, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s reports (such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

The Company and HCB caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed transaction or other matters attributable to the Company or HCB or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. The Company and HCB do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Additional Information About the Merger and Where to Find It

Stockholders of HCB are urged to read the proxy statement that will be sent to you seeking your required approval of the merger, because it will contain important information about the Company, Summit, HCB, the merger, the persons soliciting proxies in the merger and their interests in the merger and related matters. You are urged to read the proxy statement carefully before making a decision concerning the merger.

Consideration; Exchange Procedures

Section 3.01    Merger Consideration. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, automatically by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any Person:

7

(a)Merger Consideration. Subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.01(c), each holder of a share of HCB Common Stock (other than HCB or its Subsidiaries or Summit and its Subsidiaries, except for shares held by them in a fiduciary capacity, and Dissenters’ Shares) shall receive in respect thereof, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement and any adjustment pursuant to Section 3.01(c), cash in the amount of $38.00 per share of HCB Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”, and the total amount of Merger Consideration paid to all holders of HCB Common Stock, the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”).

(b)Alteration of Structure. If any Regulatory Authority (i) withholds approval of the Merger based on the structure contemplated in this Agreement or (ii) conditions its approval upon a change in the proposed structure of the Merger, Summit shall have the right to change the structure of the Merger to provide that a newly organized subsidiary of Parent will merge with and into HCB in exchange for $30.60 per share of HCB Common Stock (which amount, upon written notice of such change to HCB, shall become the Merger Consideration for the purposes of this Agreement); provided that immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, HCB shall pay each holder of HCB Common Stock a special cash dividend equal to $7.40 per share (the “Special Dividend”, and the total amount of Special Dividends paid to all holders of HCB Common Stock, the “Aggregate Special Dividend”). No amendment to this Agreement will be necessary to permit the parties to carry out the terms of this Section 3.01(b) and Parent and any newly organized merger sub will execute and deliver to HCB a supplement to this Agreement in order for each to become a party to the remaining relevant sections of this Agreement.

(c)Adjustments for Change in Shareholders’ Equity.

(i)If as of the Effective Date, the Shareholders’ Equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP and adjusted to exclude any after-tax net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (the “Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity”), is less than $15,450,000.00 (the “Benchmark Equity Target”), then the aggregate value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be reduced one dollar for every dollar by which the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity is less than the Benchmark Equity Floor.

The “Benchmark Equity Floor” means the Benchmark Equity Target less $300,000.00. The “Benchmark Equity Ceiling” means the Benchmark Equity Target plus $300,000.00.

(ii)If as of the Effective Date, the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity is more than the Benchmark Equity Ceiling, then the aggregate value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be increased one dollar for every dollar by which the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity is more than the Benchmark Equity Ceiling and each holder of HCB Common Stock will receive his, her or its pro rata share of any such increased amount, as rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

At the Effective Time, holders of HCB Common Stock shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, stockholders of HCB, other than to receive the Merger Consideration and any dividend or other distribution with respect to such HCB Common Stock with a record date occurring prior to the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of HCB or the Surviving Corporation of shares of HCB Common Stock.

3.03Exchange Procedures.

(a)At or prior to the Effective Time, Summit shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with Computershare or a bank or trust company designated by Summit and reasonably satisfactory to HCB (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of certificates formerly representing shares of HCB Common Stock (“Old Certificates”), for exchange in accordance with this Article III, an amount of cash equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration (such amount, the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund will be distributed in accordance with the Exchange Agent’s normal and customary procedures established in connection with merger transactions.

(b)As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and in no event later than five business days thereafter, Summit shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration that the holder of the Old Certificates is entitled to receive pursuant to Article III. Upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore a check equal to the amount of such holder’s Merger Consideration and (iii) any payment required by Section 2.02(b).

(c)Neither the Exchange Agent, if any, nor any party hereto shall be liable to any former holder of HCB Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(e)Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of HCB for twelve months after the Effective Time shall be paid to Summit. Any stockholders of HCB who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Summit for payment of the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

9

(f)In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Summit or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Summit may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(g)If the terms of Section 3.01(b) apply, HCB shall deliver to Summit evidence that it has deposited with its exchange agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Old Certificates, an amount of cash equal to the Aggregate Special Dividend and shall take any action necessary to cause such exchange agent to pay the Special Dividend to each holder of Old Certificates.

3.04Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of HCB Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by stockholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who properly shall have demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with the VSCA (collectively, the “Dissenters’ Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders instead shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of the VSCA, except that all Dissenters’ Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or otherwise lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under the VSCA shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive, without any interest thereon, the Merger Consideration upon surrender in the manner provided in Section 3.03 of the Old Certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, evidenced such shares.

Each of HCB and Summit further agrees that if it shall become aware prior to the Effective Date of any information furnished by it that would cause any of the statements in the Proxy Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or to omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other party thereof and to take the necessary steps to correct the Proxy Statement.

26

Each of HCB and Summit agrees that it will not, without the prior approval of the other party, file any material pursuant to SEC Rules 165 or 425, or issue any press release or written statement for general circulation relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation or NASDAQ rules.

6.05Access; Information.

(a)Each of HCB and Summit agrees that upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, it shall afford the other party and the other party’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives, such access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to the books, records (including, without limitation, tax returns, and, subject to the consent of the independent auditors, work papers of independent auditors), properties, personnel and to such other information as any party may reasonably request and, during such period, it shall furnish promptly to such other party (i) a copy of each material report, schedule and other document filed by it pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities or banking laws, and (ii) all other information concerning the business, properties and personnel of it as the other may reasonably request.

(b)Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.10(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, shall promptly notify Summit thereof; provided that the failure so to notify shall not affect the obligations of Summit under Section 6.10(a) unless and to the extent that Summit is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure.

(c)For a period of three years from the Effective Time, Summit shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance (determined as of the Effective Time) with respect to claims against present and former directors and officers of HCB and FCB arising from facts or events that occurred before the Effective Time, which insurance shall contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous, as that coverage currently provided by HCB; provided, that in no event shall Summit be required to expend, on an annual basis, more than 150% of the current amount expended by HCB (the “Insurance Amount”) to maintain or procure such directors and officers insurance coverage; and provided, further, that if Summit is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.10(c), Summit shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain as much comparable insurance as is available for the Insurance Amount; and provided, further, that officers and directors of HCB or FCB may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to Summit’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance.

29

(d)If Summit or any of its successors or assigns shall consolidate with or merge into any other entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to any entity, then and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Summit shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

(e)The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

6.11Benefit Plans.

(a)It is the intention of Summit that within a reasonable period of time following the Effective Time (i) it will provide employees of FCB with employee benefit plans substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Summit, (ii) Summit shall cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations (to the extent such limitations did not apply to a pre-existing condition under the Compensation and Benefit Plans) and eligibility waiting periods under group health plans to be waived with respect to such participants and their eligible dependents, and (iii) except with respect to the Summit Financial Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (for which this Section 6.11(a)(iii) will not apply, as no prior service credit will be granted for eligibility, vesting or benefit accrual with respect to the Summit Financial Group, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan), to the extent permitted by Summit’s benefit plans, all FCB employees will receive credit for years of service with FCB and its predecessors prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility and vesting and not for purposes of benefit accrual under Summit’s benefit plans. Summit shall maintain FCB’s and HCB’s existing employee benefit plans until such time as Summit has provided similar plans to HCB’s employees as contemplated in the preceding sentence. FCB employees shall not be entitled to accrual of benefits or allocation of contributions under Summit’s benefit plans based on years of service with FCB and its predecessors prior to the Effective Time.

(b)Except for employees of FCB with individual agreements that provide for payment of severance under certain circumstances (who will be paid severance only in accordance with such agreements and shall not have a right to employer-paid outplacement services), Summit agrees that (i) (A) each employee of FCB who is a Vice President or more senior and who is involuntarily terminated by Summit or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for cause) on or within the time period set forth on Section 6.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, shall receive a severance payment equal to the amount set forth on Section 6.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedule and (B) each employee of FCB other than any employee for whom subsection (A) of this Section 6.11(b)(i) applies and who is involuntarily terminated by Summit or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for cause) on or within the time period set forth on Section 6.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, shall receive a severance payment equal to the amount set forth on Section 6.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, but only if such employee does not have rights to a severance payment under an employment agreement, in which case no severance payment shall be made to such employee pursuant to this Section 6.11(b), and (ii) reimbursement of costs associated with reasonable outplacement services actually incurred no later than the date that is set forth on Section 6.11(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, so that after reimbursement, such services will be at no cost to the employee; provided that (A) documentation of such expenses is provided to Summit by the terminated employee and (B) such services are provided by an outplacement agency selected by Summit.

30

(c)Immediately prior to the Effective Date, HCB shall take such action as may be necessary to terminate its 401(k) plan and the First & Citizens Profit Sharing Plan and Trust, including accruing the estimated expense associated with terminating its 401(k) plan and the First & Citizens Profit Sharing Plan and Trust. Following the receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS relating to the termination of the 401(k) plan and the First & Citizens Profit Sharing Plan and Trust, the assets of each plan shall be distributed to participants or rolled into Summit’s 401k/profit sharing plan, as permitted by such plan or applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 401(k) plan trustee may make distributions to all non-continuing FCB employees before the receipt of a favorable determination letter.

4.    Bylaws. The Bylaws of HCB in effect at the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until the same shall thereafter be altered, amended or repealed as provided therein or by applicable law.

5.    Board of Directors; Officers. From and after the Effective Time, the sole director of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the sole director of the Surviving Corporation until his successor is duly appointed or elected. From and after the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their successors are duly appointed or elected.

6.    Manner and Basis of Converting Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, HCB, or any holder of any shares of capital stock of HCB or Merger Sub:

a.    HCB Common Stock.

(i)At the Effective Time, each holder of a share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of HCB (“HCB Common Stock”) (excluding shares of HCB Common Stock held by Summit, or any Summit Subsidiary, in each case other than in a fiduciary capacity or as a results of debts previously contracted, which shares shall be canceled and extinguished for no consideration, and shall be marked “canceled in merger” as of the Effective Time) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically receive, subject to the limitations set forth in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 29, 2016, by and between Summit and HCB (the “Merger Agreement”), cash in the amount of $38.00 per share of HCB Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”).

(ii)Effective as of the Effective Time, each share of HCB Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and cease to exist, and each holder of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of HCB Common Stock (each, an “HCB Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon surrender of such HCB Certificate in accordance with Section 7.

b.    Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of Merger Sub common stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

B-2

c.    HCB Common Stock Held by Summit. All shares of HCB Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by Summit or any of Summit’s respective wholly owned subsidiaries (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity or as a result of debts previously contracted) shall be cancelled and retired and shall not represent capital stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall not be exchanged for the Merger Consideration; such cancelled and retired shares are referred to herein as the “Excluded Shares”.

7.    HCB Common Stock Exchange Procedures.

a.    Exchange Agent; Merger Consideration. Summit shall appoint its transfer agent, Computershare Limited, or, with the written consent of HCB, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, another agent independent of and unaffiliated with Summit, Merger Sub or HCB (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging HCB Certificates for the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Summit shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of HCB Common Stock and for exchange in accordance with this Plan of Merger, an amount of cash necessary to pay the Merger Consideration.

b.    Adjustment for Certain Change in HCB Shareholders’ Equity. If as of the Effective Date, the Shareholders’ Equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP and adjusted to exclude any after-tax net unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities included in accumulated other comprehensive income (the “Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity”), is less than $15,450,000.00 (the “BenchmarkEquity Target”), then the aggregate value of the aggregate Merger Consideration shall be reduced one dollar for every dollar by which the Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity is less than the Benchmark Equity Floor.  In calculating Adjusted Shareholders’ Equity, all costs and expenses of HCB associated with the Merger shall have been paid or accrued prior to the Effective Date, including, but not limited to, legal, accounting, brokerage, advisory or consulting fees, early termination fees for data processing or other contractual arrangements and any change-in-control or similar payments.   The “Benchmark Equity Floor” means the Benchmark Equity Target less $300,000.00.  “GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, consistently applied.

c.    Surrender of HCB Certificates. Summit shall cause the Exchange Agent, not later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, to mail to each holder of one or more HCB Certificates a form letter of transmittal for return to the Exchange Agent containing instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the HCB Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the HCB Common Stock represented by such HCB Certificates shall have been converted as a result of the Merger. The letter of transmittal shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the HCB Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the HCB Certificates to the Exchange Agent. Upon proper surrender of an HCB Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent or compliance with the provisions of Section 7.d, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such HCB Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration and the HCB Certificate so surrendered shall be cancelled. Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by the holders of HCB Common Stock on the business day after the one-year anniversary of the Effective Date shall be paid to Summit. Any holders of HCB Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Section 7.c. shall thereafter look only to Summit for payment of the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each share of HCB Common Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to the Merger Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Subject to all applicable laws of escheat, such amounts shall be paid to such former stockholder of HCB, without interest, upon proper surrender of his or her Certificates or delivery of an affidavit of loss as described in Section 7.d.

B-3

d.    Lost HCB Certificates; Failure to Surrender HCB Certificates. If any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such HCB Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Summit or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Summit may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such HCB Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed HCB Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of HCB Common Stock represented by such HCB Certificate.

8.    Abandonment. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Merger may be abandoned, subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, without further stockholder action in the manner determined by the Boards of Directors of Summit, Merger Sub and HCB. Written notice of such abandonment shall be filed with the SCC prior to the Effective Time.C-3

SUMMIT FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. TO ACQUIRE HIGHLAND COUNTY BANKSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY, FIRST AND CITIZENS BANK

100% Cash Consideration of $38 Per Share; Deal Value of $21.8 Million

MOOREFIELD, WV AND MONTEREY, VA - February 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Summit Financial Group, Inc. (“Summit”) (NASDAQ: SMMF) and Highland County Bankshares, Inc. (“HCB”) announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement between Summit Community Bank, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit, and HCB. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Summit Community Bank, Inc. will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of HCB in exchange for cash in the amount of $38.00 per share, subject to an adjustment if HCB’s adjusted shareholders’ equity as of the effective date of the merger deviates materially from the target determined by the parties.

The transaction has been unanimously approved by each company’s board of directors and is estimated to close early in the third quarter of 2016, pending regulatory approvals and the approval of HCB’s shareholders. Following the consummation of the merger, HCB’s wholly-owned subsidiary First and Citizens Bank will be consolidated with Summit Community Bank.

The estimated aggregate merger consideration in the transaction is approximately $21.8 million based on HCB’s common shares outstanding of 574,370.

“This is an exceptional opportunity to combine two financially strong banks with similar cultures, core values and guiding principles, as well as a shared commitment to build long-term client relationships by providing service beyond expectations”, stated Summit’s President and Chief Executive Officer, H. Charles Maddy, III. “Our top priority is to make sure HCB’s clients experience a smooth transition and enjoy the advantages of additional products and services as well as the added convenience of more banking locations offered by our combined organizations.”

HCB President Vernon Wooddell said, “We are extremely pleased and excited to be able to partner with a long standing community-focused institution like Summit. We believe our diligence and patience in pursuing the right path for our institution has been rewarded with this opportunity. With Summit having deep roots in rural communities, we know the heritage of First and Citizens Bank will be in good hands as it will preserve our tradition of exemplary personal service and local decision-making. Our customers will be able to continue their relationships with bankers who they have come to know and trust while gaining access to an expanded menu of financial products and services.”
