**PART III — NARRATIVE**

*State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.*

On March 16, 2023, Arrow Financial Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company"), filed a Form 12b-25 (the "Original 12b-25") disclosing that the Company would be unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K"), within the time period prescribed without unreasonable effort or expense.

In Part II of the Original 12b-25, the Company disclosed that it believed the 2022 Form 10-K would be filed within the extension period provided under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but that it could provide no assurance that it would be able to file by such time. The Company has now determined that it will not be able to timely file the 2022 Form 10-K by March 31, 2023. The Company is working diligently to file the 2022 Form 10-K as soon as practicable.

The Company continues to require additional time to complete management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Although management's assessment is not complete, management has identified and expects it will disclose deficiencies in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting in the 2022 Form 10-K, including the following: (i) the failure to design and maintain an effective risk assessment process; (ii) the failure to design and maintain effective monitoring activities relating to (a) providing sufficient management oversight over the internal control evaluation process to support the internal control objectives, and (b) assessing and communicating the severity of identified deficiencies in a timely manner to those individuals responsible for taking corrective action; and (iii) the design and execution of controls with respect to the Company's core system including post-migration from its legacy core system Bankway to its new operating system FIS Horizon in September 2022 such as with respect to the general ledger account reconciliation process. Once management has completed its assessment, it may conclude that these or other deficiencies may be determined to be material weaknesses. As a result of the foregoing,

------

KPMG LLP, the Company's independent registered accounting firm, has not yet completed its audit procedures.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not expect any material change to the financial results included in the 2022 Form 10-K compared to those included in the Company's earnings press release furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 30, 2023 ("January Form 8-K"). Please refer to the January Form 8-K for a comparison of the results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company does not expect that the identified deficiencies will result in material misstatements or omissions in its previously reported financial statements or that the Company will have to restate its previously reported financial information.

**Forward-Looking Statements** 

The information contained in this Form 12b-25 may contain statements that are not historical in nature but rather are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, expectations, estimates and projections about the future. These statements may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, involving a degree of uncertainty and attendant risk. In the case of all forward-looking statements, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what the statements predict or forecast, explicitly or by implication. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those included in our prior Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and the following: (i) the timing and results of the completion of the required procedures and documentation related to internal controls and the completion of audit procedures by our independent registered public accounting firm; (ii) the possibility that the Company and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm may identify errors or control deficiencies with respect to the Company's internal controls over financial reporting; (iii) the Company's ability to remediate any deficiencies or material weaknesses that may be identified; and (iv) the Company's ability to file its Form 10-K and future SEC reports on a timely basis. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. This filing should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and other filings with the SEC.
