Primis Financial Receives Nasdaq Notice Regarding Delayed 10-K Filing As previously disclosed, Primis Financial Corp. (the Company"), received notices from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq") indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the Listing Rule"), which requires listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC"), and on December 19, 2024, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it regained compliance with the Listing Rule and was subjected to a one-year Panel Monitor" as defined by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B). On April 3, 2025, the Company received notice (the Notice") from the staff (the Staff") of Nasdaq advising the Company that it no longer complies with the Listing Rule, as it has failed to timely file its Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2024 (the Form 10-K"), which the Company previously disclosed on Form 12b-25, as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2025, as amended. Due to the Panel Monitor, the Company is not eligible to submit a plan to the Staff to request an extension of up to 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance with the Listing Rule, and as a result, the Staff has determined to delist the Company's securities from Nasdaq. Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination to a Hearings Panel (the Panel") by April 10, 2025, the Company's securities will be scheduled for delisting from Nasdaq and will be suspended at the opening of business on April 14, 2025. On April 9, 2025, the Company appealed the Staff's determination in accordance with the procedures set in the Nasdaq Listing Rules, requested a hearing before the Panel, and an extension of Nasdaq's stay of delisting through the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel (the Hearing Request"). The Hearing Request automatically stayed any suspension of trading for 15 calendar days from the date of the Hearing Request and the Company's common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq during such stay. While the determination on whether to grant the extended stay during the appeal process will be made by the Panel, the Company believes that it satisfies the standards for the granting of such an extended stay and does not anticipate that the Company's securities will be suspended or delisted as a result of the Notice. The Company plans to file the Form 10-K as promptly as practicable and currently expects to do so prior to the hearing, at which point the Company will be in compliance with the Listing Rules. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and the Company expects to regain compliance in advance of the hearing before the Panel.

On October 8, 2024, the Company appealed Nasdaq's determination in accordance with the procedures set in the Nasdaq Listing Rules, requested a hearing before the Panel, and an extension of Nasdaq's stay of delisting.

Primis Financial Provides Progress Report on Filings and Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Requirements Primis Financial Corp. provided an update on its delinquent filings and process for regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. On October 4, 2024, Primis filed its restated Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2022 and anticipates filing is Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 on October 11, 2024. The Company is also working diligently to complete its delayed Form 10-Q filings and is targeting filing those by October 31, 2024 at which point the Company will have regained compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. As detailed further below, Primis shares continue to be traded on Nasdaq and the Company does not anticipate any changes in its listing status prior to completion of its filings. As previously disclosed, Primis was granted a 180-day "exception period" by Nasdaq to complete its delayed filings and regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements with the "exception period" expiring on September 30, 2024. While the Company is making progress on its filings, as evidenced by the filing of its restated Form 10-K/A for 2022 and imminent filing of Form 10-K for 2023, the Company was unable to complete the delayed filings by September 30, 2024. As expected, on October 3, 2024, the Company received a notice (the "Notice") from Nasdaq indicating that the Company's shares may be delisted due to continued noncompliance with Nasdaq listing rules. On October 8, 2024, the Company appealed Nasdaq's determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and requested a hearing (the "Hearing Request") before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") which normally take places 30 to 45 days from the filing of the appeal. The Hearing Request automatically stayed any suspension of trading through October 23, 2024, and the Company further requested that the temporary stay be extended until the Panel issues a final decision on the matter. The Company believes that it satisfies the standards for the granting of such an extended stay and does not anticipate that the Company's securities will be suspended or delisted as a result of the Notice. Nasdaq listing rules require the Company to disclose the specific basis for the Notice, namely the Company's noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Form 10-K"), Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the "Q1 Form 10-Q") and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the "Q2 Form 10-Q" and, together with the First Quarter Form 10-Q, the "Form 10-Qs") before the expiration of the 180-day "exception period" that was previously granted by Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's securities on Nasdaq. As detailed above, the Company continues to work diligently to complete and file the Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs and to regain compliance with the Listing Rules in the near future. Announcement • Oct 09

One-off items were 55% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (181% payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.8% a week.
