EXHIBIT 10.2

SUMMIT FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. Executive Officer Management Incentive Plan
for 2021

OBJECTIVE

The objective of the Executive Officer Management Incentive Plan for 2021 (“2021 MIP”) is to incent and reward select members of Summit Financial Group, Inc.’s and its subsidiaries’ (collectively hereafter, “Summit’s”) management team for their exceptional performance, while still balancing risk with reward.

PARTICIPANT ELIGIBILITY

Eligibility for participation in the 2021 MIP is extended to the following executive officers (“Eligible Participants”):

Summit Financial Group, Inc Summit Community Bank, Inc.
Chief Executive OfficerPresident
Chief Financial Officer Chief Operating Officer
Chief Accounting Officer Chief of Credit Administration
Chief Banking Officer

To be eligible to receive a 2021 MIP payment, Eligible Participants must be employed for the entirety of 2021. If an otherwise Eligible Participant separates from employment at Summit for any reason, voluntarily or involuntarily, prior to January 1, 2022, no incentive will be paid to such Eligible Participant.

MIP COMPUTATION

The 2021 MIP computation is based upon Summit achieving a targeted annual return on average tangible equity (“ROATE”). For purposes of the 2021 MIP, Summit’s ROATE is to be calculated on a consolidated basis for the year ended 2021, as follows:

Net Income + (Amortization of Intangibles x 0.765)
Average Shareholders’ Equity - Average Intangibles

For purposes of the 2021 MIP, Summit’s targeted ROATE for 2021 is 12.50 to 13.49 percent (the “Targeted Range”). If Summit’s actual ROATE for 2021 is within the Targeted Range, Eligible Participants will receive an incentive payment varying between 15% and 30% of their respective annual base salary as of January 1, 2021 (the “Targeted Incentive”).

If Summit’s actual ROATE for 2021 is greater than the Targeted Range, Eligible Participants will be eligible to receive an incentive that is greater than the Targeted Incentive; conversely, if



Summit’s actual ROATE for 2021 is less than the Targeted Range, Eligible Participants will be eligible to receive an incentive that is less than the Targeted Incentive.

The formula to compute each Eligible Participant’s incentive payment under the 2021 MIP is as follows:
