Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01    Other Events.

Tracy W. Hylton II, a director of City Holding Company (NASDAQ:CHCO), passed away on January 11, 2025 after a long illness. Mr. Hylton served as a director of City Holding Company (the “Company” or “City”) and its’ banking subsidiary, City National Bank of West Virginia, or their predecessors, since 1993.

Mr. Hylton joined the Board of the Bank of Raleigh in 1984, and subsequently the Board of Horizon Bancorp, Inc. in 1993. After the merger of Horizon Bancorp with City Holding Company on December 31, 1998, he then joined the City Holding Company Board.

During Mr. Hylton’s 31 years of service to the Company and its predecessors, his business acumen and strong business connections in southern West Virginia, particularly in the coal industry positively impacted City’s performance. During his tenure as a director of City Holding Company, the Company recruited a new management team in 2001 after which the Company exhibited a dramatic recovery and exited formal agreements with its regulators. Since that time, City has been recognized as a high-performing bank in a large number of banking publications, including Forbes – which recognized City as the top performing bank in the US in 2024.

During his career, Mr. Hylton owned over 30 companies in mining, farming, cattle, land development, automotive, hotels, furniture, sporting goods, and real estate. He was a well-known leader in the West Virginia coal industry for many years, and was instrumental in the creation of The Friends of Coal advocacy organization. Mr. Hylton was also active in a very large number of local civic organizations.

Prior to embarking upon his business career, Mr. Hylton grew up in Mullens, West Virginia and studied engineering and business management at Marshall University in Huntington, West Virginia. He also served in the Armored Calvary of the National Guard. His wife Patty, daughters Tracijo and Morgan, and stepson Adam Hylton survive him.

In honor of Mr. Hylton, City has proudly contributed $15,000 to a scholarship fund set up by Warren and his wife Patty through the Beckley Area foundation, which supports college scholarships for qualified students residing within coal producing counties of southern WV.
