ITEM 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
As previously disclosed, on August 22, 2014, Summit Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Castle Creek Capital Partners V, LP (“Castle Creek”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Castle Creek has agreed to acquire in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) in an amount that is expected to approximate 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company following consummation of the Private Placement at the price of $9.75 per share. The Private Placement will consist of two closings.
On November 25, 2014, the Company consummated the first closing for the sale of 819,384 shares of Common Stock to Castle Creek under the terms of the Purchase Agreement at $9.75 per share or $7,988,994. The sale was completed in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Regulation D Rule 506, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
As set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the consummation of the second closing for the purchase of 237,753 shares of Common Stock at an aggregate purchase price of $2,318,092 is conditioned upon, among other things, the conversion into shares of Common Stock of all outstanding shares of the Company’s 8% Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 2009 and 8% Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 2011 in accordance with the terms of the Company’s articles of incorporation, as amended.
Certain investments discussed above involve the sale of securities in private transactions that will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be subject to the resale restrictions under the Securities Act. Such securities may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. This current report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
The written materials described above and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC will be available free of charge from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, free copies of these documents may also be obtained by directing a written request to: Corporate Secretary, Summit Financial Group, Inc., 300 North Main Street, Moorefield, West Virginia 26836.

In addition, certain statements may be contained in the Company’s future filings with the SEC, in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by or with the approval of the Company that are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act.
