CASCADE BANCORP (NASDAQ:CACB) Files An 8-K Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Item5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders.

On May24, 2017, Cascade Bancorp (the Company) held a special
meeting of shareholders (the Special Meeting) to consider certain
proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
November17, 2016 (the Merger Agreement), between the Company and
First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (First Interstate), which
provides for, among other things and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth therein, the merger of the Company with and
into First Interstate (the Merger), with First Interstate
surviving the Merger.

Each of the three proposals considered and voted on at the
Special Meeting (as described below) was approved by the
requisite vote of the Companys shareholders. For more information
on each of these proposals, see the Companys definitive proxy
statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on April13, 2017.

As of March17, 2017, the record date for the Special Meeting,
there were 75,060,030 shares of common stock, without par value,
of the Company outstanding and entitled to vote, each of which
was entitled to one vote on each proposal at the Special Meeting.
At the Special Meeting, 57,762,514 shares of the Companys common
stock, representing approximately 77.0% of the outstanding shares
entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, which
constituted a quorum to conduct business.

At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were considered
and voted on, and the final voting results for each proposal are
set forth below:

1. Proposal to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement (the Merger
Agreement Proposal).

named executive officers in connection with the Merger.

the Merger.

Because the Merger Agreement Proposal was approved, a proposal to
adjourn the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies if
there were insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting
to approve the Merger Agreement Proposal was not needed and,
therefore, no vote was taken on that proposal.

Item8.01 Other Events.

On May24, 2017, the Company and First Interstate issued a joint
press release announcing the results of the Special Meeting, the
results of the Annual Meeting of First Interstate and the
anticipated timing for completing the Merger. A copy of the joint
press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
