Item 4.01Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

Primis Financial Corp. (the "Company") was notified that Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP ("DHG"), the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, merged with BKD, LLP ("BKD") on June 1, 2022, and the combined practice now operates under the name FORVIS, LLP ("FORVIS"). The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors has approved the engagement of FORVIS as its independent registered public accounting firm effective June 1, 2022.

During the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and during the subsequent interim period to June 1, 2022, there have not been any disagreements between the Company and DHG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, that if not resolved to the satisfaction of DHG, would have caused DHG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

During the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and during the subsequent interim period to June 1, 2022, the Company did not consult with BKD on either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements or any other matter or reportable event listed in Items 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided FORVIS with a copy of the disclosures contained in this report, and has requested FORVIS to furnish the Company a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether FORVIS agrees with the above statements. A copy of that letter, dated June 6, 2022, is filed as Exhibit 16.1.
