Market Disruptions Provide Strong Growth Opportunities • Market: St. Albans WV • In 2017, there were 4 banks with branches in this market • In 2018 one closed • In 2020 another closed 30

Cash Dividends/Share Declared & Dividend Payout Ratio 31 Capital Management: A Long-term Core Competency

Share Activity: City’s strong capital and high profitability have allowed aggressive share repurchases 32

Acquisition Strategy: Buy banks that make shareholders richer, not the CEO. 33 City’s exceptional performance is due to: • HAVING A deep and profitable retail banking franchise • NOT unnecessarily DILUTING that franchise • Remaining a community bank focused on: • Exceptional customer service (proven, not merely said!) • Community Engagement • Maintaining a solid internal culture

Acquisition territory: 34 Small Community Banks will struggle with lower net interest income, asset quality challenges, lack of scale, and limited liquidity for their stock. Underperforming small banks may be interested in joining a stronger partner rather than to continue to perform poorly. City is well positioned to acquire select franchises.

Bottom Line: CHCO is a Simple Model Incredible Core Banking Franchise Well Managed (Expenses, Asset Quality, Etc.) Disciplined Growth Strategy focused on shareholders, customers and community service Highly Profitable Allows Strong Dividends & Accretive Share Repurchases 35

Why is CHCO Highly Valued? • Proven Conservative Lender • Exceptionally Strong Retail Franchise • Acquisitions are Accretive and Strategic • Profits are Strong and Stable – In low interest rate environments, fee income and efficiency matter: City is exceptional at both 36

CHCO represents excellent value and stability • Pricing Metrics*: – Price to Book 214% – Price to Tangible Book 266% – Price to 2022 Projected Earnings** 14.1x • Dividend Yield 2.82% • Div Payout Ratio** 43% • Tangible Capital/Tangible Assets *** 7.76% • Institutional Ownership 66% • Average Daily Volume $6.7mil * Based on Price of $85.18 (7/27/2022) ** Based on average of 4 analysts covering CHCO estimate of $6.04 for 2022 (as of 7/27/2022) *** June 30, 2022 37
