FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. (NASDAQ:FIBK) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Item2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets.

On May30, 2017, First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (First
Interstate) completed its previously announced acquisition of
Cascade Bancorp, an Oregon corporation (Cascade), to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November17, 2016 (the
Merger Agreement), by and between First Interstate and
Cascade.Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Cascade merged
with and into First Interstate (the Merger), with First
Interstate being the surviving corporation of the Merger. As a
result, First Interstate has acquired Bank of the Cascades, an
Oregon state chartered bank, as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger
Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the Effective
Time), holders of Cascade common stock (other than shares owned
by First Interstate or Cascade) became entitled to receive, for
each share of Cascade common stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time, 0.14864 shares of First
Interstate ClassA common stock and $1.91 in cash, without
interest.

At the Effective Time, each outstanding stock option (vested or
unvested) to purchase shares of Cascade common stock that was
outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time was cancelled and terminated in exchange for a
cash payment equal to the product of (1)the number of shares of
Cascade common stock subject to the stock option multiplied by
(2)the amount by which the merger consideration exceeded the
exercise price of such option, less applicable withholding taxes.
For purposes of this calculation, the merger consideration was
equal to $7.54, which is the sum of the cash consideration and
the product of the exchange ratio times the average closing sales
price of First Interstate ClassA common stock over the 20
consecutive trading days ending on the fifth day before the
closing date of the Merger.

Based on the number of shares of Cascade common stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, First
Interstate is issuing approximately 11.3millionshares of First
Interstate ClassA common stock in connection with the Merger. The
cash payable by First Interstate in connection with the Merger is
approximately $156.3million, which includes the cash portion of
the merger consideration and the cash in lieu of fractional
shares that Cascade shareholders would have otherwise been
entitled to receive.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as
Exhibit2.1 of First Interstates Current Report on Form8-K filed
on November17, 2016, and is incorporated herein by reference.
