Item 8.01 Other Events.

Effective as of 5:01 p.m. on January 23, 2026 (the “Effective Time”), First Community Bankshares, Inc. (‘First Community”) completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Hometown Bancshares, Inc. a West Virginia corporation headquartered in Middlebourne, West Virginia (“Hometown”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) dated July 19, 2025, by and between First Community and Hometown. At the Effective Time, Hometown merged with and into First Community, with First Community as the surviving corporation in the Merger.

Immediately following the Merger, Union Bank, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hometown, merged with and into First Community Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Community (the “Bank Merger”), with First Community Bank as the surviving bank in the Bank Merger.

Under the terms of the Agreement, each outstanding share of common stock of Hometown was converted into the right to receive 11.706 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of First Community common stock, par value $1.00 per share, plus cash, without interest, in lieu of fractional shares.

Under the terms of the Agreement, all Hometown stock appreciation rights under a stock appreciation award (except certain stock appreciation rights that were unvested as of January 1, 2025) and all Hometown dividend equivalent rights granted under the Hometown Dividend Equivalent Incentive Plan that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the extent not vested, became fully vested, and were canceled. The holders of these rights received or will receive a cash payment from First Community within ten business days of the Effective Time. The holders of stock appreciation rights received or will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the number determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any of (A) Average Closing Price (as defined in the Agreement) multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio over the applicable exercise price of the stock appreciation right, by (ii) the number of shares of Hometown common stock subject to the applicable stock appreciation right. The holders of dividend equivalent rights received or will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the account value of the applicable dividend rights award. The stock appreciation rights that are unvested as of January 1, 2025, were assumed by First Community.

There were no material relationships, other than in respect of the Merger, between First Community and Hometown, its directors or officers or any of its affiliates.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to First Community’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 21, 2025, and incorporated herein by reference.

On January 26, 2026, First Community issued a press release announcing the completion of the Merger. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is being furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose.
