Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The information set forth in Item 5 hereof is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end thereof:

Merger Agreement

On November 17, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the FIBK Merger Agreement) with First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (FIBK). Subject to the terms and conditions of the FIBK Merger Agreement, the Company will merge with and into FIBK (the FIBK Merger), with FIBK being the surviving corporation. Immediately following the consummation of the FIBK Merger, Bank of the Cascades, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, will merge with and into First Interstate Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of FIBK, with First Interstate Bank being the surviving bank. Under the FIBK Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the FIBK Merger, each outstanding share of the Companys common stock (except for the Cancelled Shares (as defined in the FIBK Merger Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.14864 shares of FIBKs Class A common stock and (ii) $1.91 in cash, without interest, with any fractional shares paid in cash. Completion of the FIBK Merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the approval of the FIBK Merger Agreement by the Companys stockholders.

Voting Agreement

On November 17, 2016, Lightyear Fund II, Co-Invest and Lightyear Capital (the Investors) entered into a voting agreement, (the FIBK Voting Agreement), pursuant to which the Investors agreed, solely in their capacity as stockholders of the Company and not in any other capacity, to among other things, (i) to vote their shares of Common Stock in favor of the approval of the FIBK Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) without the prior written consent of FIBK, not to transfer any of their shares of Common Stock prior to the FIBK Merger except for certain limited purposes described in the FIBK Voting Agreement.

In addition, the Investors agreed, pursuant to the FIBK 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 FIBK Voting Agreement. The FIBK Voting Agreement will terminate automatically under the circumstances set forth in the FIBK Voting Agreement, including in the event that the FIBK Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing summaries of the FIBK Merger Agreement and FIBK Voting Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, reference to such agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 14 and 15 hereto.
