EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On April 29, 2025, Primis Financial Corp. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Report”) to report its financial results for the first quarter of 2025 within a press release (the “Earnings Release”) furnished as Exhibit 99.1 in the Original Report.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amended Report”) amends the Original Report to correct certain financial information included in the Earnings Release as further described below. The Company is filing this Amended Report in order to furnish a revised earnings release (the “Amended Earnings Release”) in Item 2.02 disclosure. The Amended Earnings Release replaces the Earnings Release, in its entirety. This Amended Report should be read in conjunction with the Original Report. This Amended Report does not amend, modify, or supplement the Original Report or Earnings Release in any other respect.

 

The changes described in this Amended Report arise primarily from management’s subsequent determination of deconsolidation of Panacea Financial Holding Inc. (“PFH”) as of March 31, 2025 for financial reporting purposes. Since PFH’s capital raise in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company was required to include the results of PFH in its consolidated financial statements while owning approximately 19% of the entity. As a result of certain contractual and operational changes in the first quarter of 2025, the Company is no longer required to consolidate PFH for financial reporting purposes as of March 31, 2025.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain upon deconsolidation of PFH of $24.6 million which is recorded in the income statement within noninterest income. This gain included remeasurement and recording at fair value as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s retained interest in PFH common stock amounting to $21.2 million and $3.4 million related to deconsolidation of PFH’s net assets and the Company’s noncontrolling interest in PFH.

 

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On May 13, 2025, the Company furnished the Amended Earnings Release with its results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amended Report and incorporated herein by reference. The changes described in the Explanatory Note are reflected in the Amended Earnings Release.

 

The information in Item 2.02 of this Amended Report is being “furnished” and will not, except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, be deemed “filed” by the Company for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will any of such information or exhibits be deemed incorporated by reference to any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
