Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to the common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of Cascade Bancorp (the “Company”).  The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 1100 N.W. Wall Street, Bend, Oregon 97701.
 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The disclosure provided in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D amended hereby is updated to include the following additional disclosure:
On November 17, 2016, WLR CB AcquisitionCo LLC (“WLR”) entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which WLR agreed, solely in its capacity as stockholder of the Company and not in any other capacity, (i) to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 17, 2016, by and between First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (“FIBK”) and the Company (as amended, supplemented or modified, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will be merged with and into FIBK, with FIBK as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”) and (ii) without the prior written consent of FIBK, not to transfer any of its shares of Common Stock prior to the Merger except for certain limited purposes described in the Voting Agreement.  The Voting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 7.

Except as disclosed in this Item 4, neither WLR, nor any of the other Reporting Persons, has any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the events described in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  WLR intends to continually review its investment in the Company.  Pending the results of such review and other factors that WLR deems relevant to an investment in the Company (but subject to the limitations described in Item 6 of this Statement), WLR may take or propose to take, alone or in conjunction with others including the Company, other actions intended to increase or decrease WLR’s investment in the Company or the value of its investment in the Company, which could include one or more of the transactions or actions referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, WLR specifically reserves the right to change its intentions with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Statement, subject to the limitations in the Voting Agreement, the passivity commitments described in Item 6 below and applicable regulation governing non-control investments in banks and bank holding companies.
 
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

As of the date on which the event requiring the filing of this Amendment occurred, WLR beneficially owned a total of 11,478,529 shares of Common Stock, which in the aggregate represents approximately 15.05% of the outstanding Common Stock as of November 2, 2016.
 
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
 
The disclosure provided in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D amended hereby is updated to include the following additional disclosure:
 
Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, WLR agreed, solely in its capacity as stockholder of the Company and not in any other capacity, (i) to vote its shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and (ii) without the prior written consent of FIBK, not to transfer any of its shares of Common Stock prior to the Merger except for certain limited purposes described in the Voting Agreement.  In addition, WLR agreed, pursuant to the Voting Agreement, not to enter into any agreement or commitment with any person the effect of which would be inconsistent with or otherwise violate the provisions and agreements set forth in the Voting Agreement.  The Voting Agreement will terminate automatically in the event that (a) the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms, or (b) the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) withdraws, modifies or qualifies or fails to make the Board recommendation and the requisite Company vote, as specified in the Merger Agreement,

does not become the affirmative vote of the holders of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Common Stock for any reason, in each case in accordance with the Merger Agreement.  The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference.

Other than the matters disclosed above in response to Items 4 and 5 and this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons is party to any other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
