On October 31, 2011 Mrs. and Mr. Crites purchased 2,000 shares of Summit Financial Group, Inc. 8% Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 2011 (the "Summit Series 2011 Preferred Stock").

On June 30, 2014, Mrs. Crites and her spouse transferred a total of 1,503 shares of Summit Series 2011 Preferred Stock to nine subtrusts created to support the future health, maintenance and education of their grandchildren.

Under the terms of the Summit Series 2011 Preferred Stock, Mrs. and Mr. Crites have the right to convert the Summit Series 2011 Preferred Stock on any dividend payment date, at their option, into shares of Common Stock based on a conversion rate determined by dividing $500 by $4.00. The dividend payment dates are March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year (each "Dividend Payment Date”).

Mrs. and Mr. Crites will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 250,000 shares of Summit Common Stock on the date that is sixty days prior to each Dividend Payment Date. On October 2, 2014, Mrs. and Mr. Crites had the right to acquire within 60 days beneficial ownership of the Common Stock into which they may convert their Summit Series 2011 Preferred Stock. The two subtrusts for which they do not act as trustees also acquired the right to convert their Summit Series 2011 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock within 60 days on October 2, 2014. Accordingly, as of October 2, 2014, Mrs. and Mr. Crites were deemed to have beneficial ownership of an additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock.
