EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed to amend the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (“Form 10-K” or the “Original Filing”), filed by MetroCity Bankshares, Inc. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2025. The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to correct the previously filed Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (filed as Exhibit 23.1 in the Original Filing), which (a) inadvertently misidentified the city and state from which the consent was issued, and (b) omitted reference to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Except as described above, no changes have been made to the Original Filing and this Amendment No. 1 does not modify, amend or update in any way any of the financial or other information contained in the Original Filing. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing Date.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 1 contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Similarly, because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1, certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been omitted.
