EXPLANATORY NOTE





Colony Bankcorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2020 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), solely to add this Explanatory Note, which was inadvertently omitted from the Original Form 10-Q, to disclose that the Company had filed the Original Form 10-Q after the May 11, 2020 deadline applicable to the Company for the filing of a Form 10-Q in reliance on the 45-day extension provided by an order issued by the SEC under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder, dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318), as modified and superseded by a new SEC order under Section 36 of the Exchange Act Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (collectively, the “Order”).





On May 8, 2020, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) to indicate its intention to rely on the Order for such extension. Specifically, the Company disclosed that the current coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and related cautionary measures have disrupted routine interactions among the Company’s accounting personnel, other staff and third parties involved in preparation of the Quarterly Report and the completion of the Company’s quarterly review. These disruptions include but are not limited to the reduction of the Company’s operating hours in its branches and the limited availability of key Company personnel and professional advisors who are needed to prepare the Quarterly Report due in part to suggested and mandated social quarantining and work from home orders. As a result, the Company’s books and records have not been easily accessible and communication among internal financial staff and external auditors have been challenging, resulting in delay in preparation and completion of the Company’s Quarterly Report. Therefore, due to COVID-19’s interference in the Company’s operations, the Company was unable to file the Original Form 10-Q prior to the due date. Consistent with the Company’s statements made in the Form 8-K, the Company filed its Original Form 10-Q on May 15, 2020 (which was within the permitted timeframe of the Order).





In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, the Company is including in this Amendment certifications from its principal executive officer and principal financial officer as required by Rule 13a-14(a) or Rule 15d-14(a) of the Exchange Act as exhibits to this Amendment. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. We are not including the certifications under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment.





Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, modify or update the information in, or exhibits to, the Original Form 10-Q. Furthermore, this Amendment does not change any previously reported financial results nor does it reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-Q and with the Company’s other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-Q. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Form 10-Q.
