EXPLANATORY NOTE

SmartFinancial, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2020. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to:

a.refile Exhibit 32 that was originally filed with the Form 10-K to (a) correct a typographical error within the exhibit that resulted in the exhibit inadvertently referring to C. Bryan Johnson, rather than Ronald J. Gorczynski, as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and (b) correct a reference in the exhibit to the year ended December 31, 2018 that should have instead referred to the year ended December 31, 2019; and
b.refile Exhibit 21.1 to include Rains Agency Inc., which the Company acquired as an indirect subsidiary on March 1, 2020.

This Amendment speaks as of the original filing date, does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Form 10-K and does not modify or update those disclosures that may be affected by subsequent events, and no other changes are being made to any other disclosure contained in the Form 10-K.

This Amendment is an exhibit-only filing, and except for the change to Exhibit 21.1 and Exhibit 32 described above, this Amendment does not otherwise update any exhibits as originally filed or previously amended. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as exhibits to this Amendment pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Exchange Act. The Company is not including additional certifications pursuant to Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code (18 U.S.C. 1350) as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.
