QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why am I receiving these materials?

We are sending you these materials to solicit your proxy to vote in favor of the merger and to help you decide how to vote your shares of Columbine Capital Corp.Inter-Mountain Bancorp., Inc. (“CCC”IMB”) common stock with respect to theits proposed merger with Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“Glacier”). The merger cannot be completed unless CCCIMB receives the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majoritytwo-thirds (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of CCC’sIMB’s common stock. CCCIMB is holding a special meeting of shareholders to vote on the proposals relating to the merger. Information about the special meeting is contained in this document. See “CCC“IMB Special Shareholders Meeting.”

This document is both a proxy statement of CCCIMB and a prospectus of Glacier. It is a proxy statement because the officers and board of directors of CCCIMB (the “CCC“IMB Board”) isare soliciting proxies from CCCIMB shareholders in connection with voting on the merger and approval of termination of the CCC Shareholders Agreement.merger. It is a prospectus because Glacier will issue shares of its common stock in exchange for shares of CCCIMB common stock as part of the consideration to be paid in the merger.

What will CCCIMB shareholders receive in the merger?

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of CCCIMB common stock will be exchanged for a “unit” comprised of 3.768122.841 shares of Glacier common stock, and $34.4504 in cash. Both the stock portion and the cash portion of each unit are subject to the adjustmentsadjustment as described below. Assuming the exchange of all outstanding CCCIMB common stock for Glacier common stock and cash in accordance with the merger agreement, CCCIMB shareholders will own, in the aggregate, approximately [___]%[    ]% of Glacier’s outstanding common stock following the merger.

If the IMB Closing Capital (as defined in the merger agreement) exceeds $73,500,000, subject to certain adjustments, IMB may, upon written notice to Glacier and effective immediately prior to the closing of the merger, declare and pay a special dividend to its shareholders in the amount of such excess.

The amount of Glacier common stock portionexchanged for each share of each unitIMB common stock may be adjusted in certain circumstances based on whether Glacier common stock is trading either higher or lower than prices specified in the merger agreement immediately prior to the closing of the merger, in order to avoid termination of the merger agreement.

The cash portion of each unit will be subject to adjustment depending on the “CCC Closing Capital,” as defined in the merger agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the merger. If the CCC Closing Capital is less than $36,194,000, subject to certain adjustments, the cash portion of each unit will be reduced on a pro rata basis by the amount of such deficiency.

If the CCC Closing Capital is greater than $36,194,000, subject to certain adjustments, CCC may, upon written notice to Glacier and effective immediately prior to the closing of the merger, declare and pay a special dividend to its shareholders in the amount of such excess, or alternatively, the cash portion of the merger consideration will be increased by the amount of such excess.

On [            ], 2017, the closing price of Glacier’s common stock was $[        ] per share. If the “average closing price” (determined over a 20 trading day period prior to the closing of the merger, calculated 10 days prior to the closing) of Glacier’s common stock exceeds $42.04,$42.11, Glacier may terminate the merger agreement, unless CCCIMB elects to accept a reduction on aper-share basis inof the number of shares of Glacier common stock to be issued in the merger.

Conversely, if the “average closing price” is less than $31.08, CCC$28.07, IMB may terminate the merger agreement, unless Glacier elects to increase on aper-share basis the number of shares of Glacier common stock to be issued or cash to be paid in the merger. However, ifmerger, or in Glacier’s discretion, Glacier pays cash, or a combination of cash and additional Glacier shares, so that the value of the consideration equals an amount specified in the merger closes prior to December 31,

2017 (which is not expected), and Glacier’s average closing price is more than $29.25, CCC will have no right to provide a notice of termination unless Glacier’s stock has also underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%.agreement. See “The Merger – Termination of the Merger Agreement.”

By voting to approve the merger agreement, CCCIMB shareholders will give the CCCIMB Board the authority to elect to cause CCCIMB to accept a reduction inon aper-share basis of the number of shares of Glacier common stock to be issued in the merger if the Glacier average closing price exceeds $42.04$42.11 as described above. See “The Merger – Termination of the Merger Agreement.”

What will I receive in the merger?

Each outstanding share of CCCIMB common stock you own will be exchanged for a “unit” comprised of 3.768122.841 shares of Glacier common stock, and $34.4504 in cash. Each of the stock and cash portions of each unit will be subject to adjustment as described above.

Assuming for purposes of illustration only that(i) there is no increase or reduction of the cash portion of the merger consideration, and(ii) the average closing price for Glacier common stock is $[        ] (which was the closing price for Glacier common stock on [___],[            ], 2017), each share of CCCIMB common stock would be exchanged for consideration with a total value equal to $[        ], consisting of $34.4504 in cash and 3.7681 shares of Glacier common stock (valued based on the average closing price above).].

How soon after the merger is completed can I expect to receive my merger consideration?

Glacier will work with its exchange agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, to distribute consideration payable in the merger as promptly as practicable following the completion of the merger.

Will the shares of Glacier common stock that I receive in the merger be freely transferable?

Yes. The Glacier common stock issued in the merger will be transferable free of restrictions under federal and state securities laws, and provided CCC Shareholders approve the termination of the Shareholders Agreement, any other known agreements among CCC and its shareholders.

Why are CCC shareholders being asked to terminate the Shareholders Agreement?

CCC and all of the holders of CCC common stock are parties to an amended and restated shareholders agreement dated effective as of February 24, 2011 (the “Shareholders Agreement”). Following the closing of the merger, CCC shareholders will no longer own CCC common stock, but rather will own freely tradable Glacier common stock. Accordingly, CCC shareholders will be asked to approve termination of the Shareholders Agreement, conditioned only upon the closing of the merger of CCC with and into Glacier, to clarify that such shares are free from contractual restrictions on transfer as well. By voting in favor of termination, CCC shareholders will also be ensuring that the Shareholders Agreement does not apply to the proposed merger of CCC with and into Glacier. See CCC Special Shareholders’ Meeting – Termination of the Shareholders Agreement.”laws.

When will the merger occur?

We presently expect to complete the merger during the first quarter of 2018. The actual timing of the transaction is subject to a number of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Glacier and IMB. The merger is also conditioned upon and will occur after the approval of the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majoritytwo-thirds (66 2/3%) of the shares of CCCIMB common stock, after the merger has received regulatory approvals, and following the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to the merger described in the merger agreement.

Under certain circumstances, the closing date of the merger may be changed to a date on or prior to November 30, 2017. Seeagreement and summarize under “The Merger – Closing Date.”Merger” below.

If the merger does not occur by April 30,July 31, 2018, either Glacier or CCCIMB may unilaterally terminate the merger agreement. However, if as of April 30,July 31, 2018, the condition to closing that all required governmental regulatory approvals have been obtained has not been obtained,satisfied, then the deadline for consummationclosing of the merger will be extended to on or before JulyOctober 31, 2018, if Glacier notifies CCCIMB in writing on or prior to April 30,July 31, 2018 of its election to extend such date.closing deadline.

For additional information, seeInformation Concerning CCC”IMB” below.

The Merger

The merger agreement provides for the merger of CCCIMB with and into Glacier, and immediately thereafter, the merger of Collegiate BankFSB with and into Glacier Bank. In the merger, your shares of CCCIMB common stock, if you do not dissent, will be exchanged for the right to receive a combination of shares of Glacier common stock and cash.stock. Assuming the exchange of all outstanding CCCIMB common stock for stock and cash in accordance with the merger



agreement, CCCIMB shareholders will own approximately [    ]% of Glacier’s outstanding common stock following the merger. After the merger, you will no longer own shares of CCC.IMB. For additional information, see the discussion under the heading “The Merger” below.

The merger agreement is attached asAppendix A to this proxy statement/prospectus. We encourage you to read the merger agreement in its entirety.

In the merger, Glacier will issue shares of its common stock and pay cashin exchange for all shares of CCCIMB common stock outstanding as of the date of the closing of the merger.merger, except properly dissenting shares. Each outstanding share of CCCIMB will be exchanged for a “unit” comprised22.841 shares of Glacier common stock, and cash,subject to adjustment as follows:described below.

If the average closing price of Glacier stock calculated in accordance with the merger agreement exceeds $42.11, Glacier may elect to terminate the merger agreement unless IMB elects to accept a decrease on aper-share basis in the number of Glacier shares to be issued in order to avoid termination of the merger agreement.

Stock Portion: 3.7681 Glacier shares, subject to adjustment as follows: If the average closing price of Glacier stock calculated in accordance with the merger agreement exceeds $42.04, Glacier may elect to terminate the merger agreement, unless CCC elects to accept a decrease in the number of Glacier shares to be issued on aper-share basis, in order to avoid termination of the merger agreement.

Conversely, if the average closing price is below $31.08, CCC$28.07, IMB may elect to terminate the merger agreement, unless Glacier elects to increase on aper-share basis the number of Glacier shares to be issued or amount of cash to be paid in aper-share basis, in order to avoid such termination. However, ifAlternatively, Glacier may elect to pay cash consideration, or a combination of cash consideration and additional Glacier shares, so that the value of consideration received by IMB shareholders equals an amount specified in the merger closes prior to December 31, 2017 (which is not expected), and Glacier’s average closing price is above $29.25, CCC will have no right to provide a notice of termination unless Glacier’s common stock has also underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%.agreement.

Glacier will not issue fractional shares and will instead pay cash in lieu of such fractional shares, as described under “The Merger – Fractional Shares” below.

Cash Portion: $34.4504 in cash, subject to adjustment as follows: If “CCC Closing Capital” as determined in accordance with the merger agreement is less than the minimum required, which is $36,194,000 as of the date hereof (having been increased from $36,146,000 due to the July 6, 2017 issuance of 282 shares of CCC common stock to the CCC ESOP, and subject to further adjustment), the cash portion of each unit will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the amount of such deficiency.

If “CCCthe “IMB Closing Capital” (as determined in accordance with the merger agreement) is in excess of the minimum, CCC$73,500,000, IMB may in its discretion declare and pay a special dividend in the amount of such excess, or alternatively, the cash portion of the merger consideration will be increased by the pro rata amount of such excess. “CCC

subject to certain federal tax considerations. “IMB Closing Capital” is defined in the merger agreement and is equal to an amount, estimated as of the closing date of the merger, equal to CCC’sIMB’s capital stock, surplus and retained earnings, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) on a consolidated basis, net of goodwill and other intangible assets, after giving effect to adjustments, calculated in accordance with GAAP, for accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as reported in CCC’sIMB’s or FSB’s balance sheet. CCC’sIMB’s Closing Capital is subject to upward or downward adjustment if transaction related expenses are less than or exceed certain thresholds describedset forth in the merger agreement.

The threshold of CCC Closing Capital is subject to adjustments relating to capital attributable to the exercise of outstanding CCC stock options between the date of the merger agreement and closing, if any. See “The Merger – Merger Consideration – Cash Portion of Merger Consideration.”

The actual amount of cash to be paid cannot be determined until shortly before the effective date of the merger. Accordingly, the actual amount of cash that you will receive for each of your shares of CCC common stock, if you do not dissent, will not be determined until shortly before the closing of the merger. See “The Merger – Merger Consideration.”

Recommendation of CCCIMB Board

The CCCIMB Board unanimously recommends that holders of CCCIMB common stock vote “FOR” the proposal to approve the merger agreement.

For further discussion of CCC’sIMB’s reasons for the merger and the recommendations of the CCCIMB Board, see “Background of and Reasons for the Merger – Recommendation ofReasons for the CCC Board of Directors.Merger – IMB.

Opinion of CCC’sIMB’s Financial Advisor

In connection with the merger, CCC’sIMB’s financial advisor, D.A. Davidson & Co. (“DADCO”),ProBank Austin, delivered a written opinion, dated June 5,October 26, 2017, to the CCCIMB Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to the holders of CCCIMB common stock of the merger consideration in the proposed merger. The full text of the opinion, which describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by CCC ProBank Austin



in preparing the opinion, is attached asAppendix C to this document.The opinion was for the information of, and was directed to, the CCCIMB Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the merger. The opinion did not address the underlying business decision of CCCIMB to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement or constitute a recommendation to the CCCIMB Board in connection with the merger, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of CCCIMB common stock or any shareholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the merger or any other matter.

For further information, see “Background of and Reasons for the Merger – Opinion of CCC’sIMB’s Financial Advisor.”

Interests of CCCIMB Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

When you consider the unanimous recommendation of the CCCIMB Board that CCC’sIMB’s shareholders approve the merger agreement, you should be aware that certain members of CCC’sIMB’s and/or Collegiate Bank’sFSB’s management have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, their interests

9


as CCCIMB shareholders. These interests arise out of, among other things, voting andnon-competition agreements entered into by the directors of CCC,IMB, employment and consulting agreements entered into by certain Collegiate BankIMB and FSB executive officers, and provisions in the merger agreement relating to indemnification of CCCIMB directors and officers. For a description of the interests of CCC’sIMB’s directors and executive officers in the merger, see “The Merger – Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger.”

The CCCIMB Board was aware of these interests and took them into account in its decision to approve the merger agreement.

CCCIMB Shareholders Dissenters’ Rights

Under ColoradoMontana law, CCCIMB shareholders have the right to dissent from the merger and receive cash for the “fair value”of their shares of CCCIMB common stock. The procedures required under ColoradoMontana law are described later in this document, and a copy of the relevant statutory provisions is attached asAppendix B. For more information on dissentersdissenters’ rights, see “The Merger – Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.”

Regulatory Matters

Each of Glacier and CCCIMB has agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required by the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. These approvals include approval or a waiver from the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Commissioner of the Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions and the State of Colorado Division of Banking.Institutions. Applications have been filed with these regulatory bodies seeking such approvals. We expect to obtain all such regulatory approvals, although we cannot be certain if or when we will obtain them. See “The Merger – Regulatory Requirements.”

Conditions to Completion of the Merger

Currently, Glacier and CCCIMB expect to complete the merger during the first quarter of 2018. As more fully described in this proxy statement and in the merger agreement, the completion of the merger depends on a number of conditions being satisfied or, where legally permissible, waived. Neither Glacier nor CCCIMB can provide assurance as to when or if all of the conditions to the merger can or will be satisfied or waived. See “The Merger – Conditions to the Merger.”

Under certain circumstances, the closing date of the merger may be changed to a date on or prior to November 30, 2017. See “The Merger – Closing Date.”



Termination of the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement provides that either Glacier or CCCIMB may terminate the merger agreement either before or after the CCCIMB special meeting, under certain circumstances. See “The Merger – Termination of the Merger Agreement.”

Termination Fees

If either party terminates the merger agreement due to specified breaches of the merger agreement by the other party, the breaching party will be required to pay thenon-breaching party a termination fee of $500,000. See “The Merger – Termination Fees. Additionally, if Glacier terminates the merger agreement under certain circumstances after December 31, 2017 it will be required to pay to CCC a termination fee of $1,000,000.

10


Break-Up Fee

The merger agreement provides that CCCIMB must pay Glacier abreak-up fee of $3,000,000$6,500,000 if the merger agreement is terminated(i) by Glacier if the CCCIMB Board fails to recommend approval of the merger agreement by CCC’sIMB’s shareholders or modifies, withdraws or adversely changes its recommendation, or(ii) by the CCCIMB Board due to its determination that an acquisition proposal received by CCCIMB constitutes a “superior proposal,” as“Superior Proposal” (as defined in the merger agreement,agreement), which is acted upon by CCC,IMB, or(iii) by Glacier because an acquisition event“Acquisition Event” (as defined in the merger agreement) with respect to CCCIMB has occurred. In addition, abreak-up fee of $3,000,000$6,500,000 will be due ifto Glacier terminatesif the merger agreement is terminated(i) by Glacier or IMB due to a failure of CCC’sIMB’s shareholders to approve the merger agreement, (ii) by Glacier for IMB’s breach of certain covenants set forth in the merger agreement or(ii)(iii) by Glacier because a third party has made a proposal to IMB or its shareholders to engage in, or enter into an agreement with respect to, an acquisition eventAcquisition Event and the merger agreement isand the merger are not approved by CCC’sIMB’s shareholdersand prior to 18within 15 months after any such termination CCCdescribed in clauses(i) through(iii) above, IMB or Collegiate BankFSB enters into an agreement for, or publicly announces its intention to engage in, an acquisition eventAcquisition Event or within 1815 months after any such termination described in clauses(i) through(iii)above, an acquisition eventAcquisition Event will have occurred.

CCCIMB agreed to pay thebreak-up fee under the circumstances described above in order to induce Glacier to enter into the merger agreement. This arrangement could have the effect of discouraging other companies from trying to acquire CCC.IMB. See “The Merger –Break-up Fee.”

CCCIMB Shareholders’ Rights After the Merger

The rights of CCCIMB shareholders are governed by ColoradoMontana law, as well as by CCC’sIMB’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (“CCC’sIMB’s articles”) and amended and restated bylaws (“CCC’sIMB’s bylaws”). After completion of the merger, the rights of the former CCCIMB shareholders receiving Glacier common stock in the merger will continue to be governed by Montana law, and will be governed by Glacier’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (“Glacier’s articles”) and amended and restated bylaws (“Glacier’s bylaws”). Although Glacier’s articles and Glacier’s bylaws are similar in many ways to CCC’sIMB’s articles and CCC’sIMB’s bylaws, there are some substantive and procedural differences that will affect the rights of CCCIMB shareholders. See “Comparison of Certain Rights of Holders of Glacier and CCCIMB Common Stock.”

Additionally, the rights of CCC shareholders to dispose of any of their CCC shares are currently subject to certain rights of first refusal as described under “CCC Special Shareholders Meeting – Termination of Shareholders Agreement.” Assuming the closing of the merger and resulting conversion of CCC common stock into shares of Glacier common stock, and CCC shareholder approval of the termination of the Shareholders Agreement, CCC shareholders will hold freely tradable Glacier common stock.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this document, including the matters addressed under the caption “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should consider the matters described below carefully in determining whether or not to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Risks Associated with the Proposed Merger

Because you are receiving a fixed number of shares (subject to adjustment) and the market price of the Glacier common stock may fluctuate, you cannot be sure of the value of the shares of Glacier common stock that you will receive.

At the time of the CCCIMB special shareholder meeting, and prior to the closing of the merger, you will not be able to determine the value of the Glacier common stock that you wouldwill receive upon completion of the merger. Any change in the market price of Glacier common stock prior to completion of the merger will affect the value of the consideration that CCCIMB shareholders will receive in the merger. Common stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including but not limited to general market and economic conditions, changes in Glacier’s business, operations and prospects, and regulatory considerations. Many of these factors are beyond the control of Glacier or CCC.IMB. On [            ], 2017, the closing price of Glacier common stock was $[        ]. You should obtain current market prices for Glacier common stock.

The merger agreement provides that the number of shares of Glacier common stock to be issued for each share of CCCIMB common stock in the merger may be decreased or increased, as the case may be, if the average tradingclosing price of Glacier common stock, determined pursuant to the merger agreement, is greater than or less than specified prices. If Glacier’s average tradingclosing price determined in accordance with the merger agreement is greater than $42.04$42.11 and Glacier elects to terminate the merger agreement, the CCCIMB Board would make the decision, without resoliciting the vote of CCCIMB shareholders, whether or not to elect to accept a decrease on aper-share basis in the number of shares of Glacier sharescommon stock to be issued in the merger to avoid such termination. See “The Merger – Termination of the Merger Agreement.” On [        ], 2017, the closing price of Glacier common stock was $[        ].

The merger agreement limits CCC’sIMB’s ability to pursue other transactions and provides for the payment of abreak-up fee if CCCIMB does so.

While the merger agreement is in effect, subject to very narrow exceptions, CCCIMB and its directors, officers, employees, agents and agentsrepresentatives are prohibited from initiating or encouraging inquiries with respect to alternative acquisition proposals. The prohibition limits CCC’sIMB’s ability to seek offers from other potential acquirers that may be superior from a financial point of view to the proposed transaction. If CCCIMB receives an unsolicited proposal from a third party that is superior from a financial point of view to that made by Glacier and the merger agreement is terminated, CCCIMB will be required to pay a $3,000,000$6,500,000break-up fee. This fee makes it less likely that a third party will make an alternative acquisition proposal. See “The Merger –Break-Up Fee.”

Under certain conditions, the merger agreement requires CCC to pay a termination fee.

Under certain circumstances (generally involving CCC’s breach of its representations and covenants in the merger agreement), Glacier can terminate the merger agreement and require CCC to pay a termination fee of $500,000. See “The Merger – Termination Fees.”

Combining our two companies may be more challenging, costly or time-consuming than we expect.

Glacier and CCCIMB have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. Although Glacier has successfully completed a number ofnumerous mergers in the recent past, this is the largest merger to date and it is possible that the integration of Collegiate BankFSB into Glacier Bank could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of the ongoing business of Collegiate BankIMB or inconsistencies in standards,

controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger. As with any merger of banking institutions, there also may be disruptions that cause us to lose customers or cause customers to take their deposits out of Collegiate Bank.FSB.

Unanticipated costs relating to the merger could reduce Glacier’s future earnings per share.

Glacier believes that it has reasonably and conservatively estimated the likely costs of integrating the operations of Collegiate BankFSB into Glacier Bank, and the incremental costs of operating as a combined financial institution. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs or future operating expenses, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of Glacier after the merger. If the merger is completed and unexpected costs are incurred, the merger could have a dilutive effect on Glacier’s earnings per share, meaning earnings per share could be less than they would be if the merger had not been completed.

Glacier has provisions in its articles of incorporation that could impede a takeover of Glacier.

Glacier’s articles contain provisions providing for, among other things, preferred stock and super majority shareholder approval of certain business combinations. Although these provisions were not adopted for the express purpose of preventing or impeding the takeover of Glacier without the approval of Glacier’s board of directors, they may have that effect. Such provisions may prevent you from taking part in a transaction in which you could realize a premium over the current market price of Glacier common stock. See “Comparison of Certain Rights of Holders of Glacier and CCCIMB Common Stock” for a description of Glacier’s potential takeover provisions.

After the merger is completed, CCCIMB shareholders will become GBCIGlacier shareholders and will have different rights that may be less advantageous than their current rights.

Upon completion of the merger, CCCIMB shareholders will become GBCIGlacier shareholders. Differences in CCC’sIMB’s articles and CCC’sIMB’s bylaws and Glacier’s articles and Glacier’s bylaws will result in changes to the rights of CCCIMB shareholders who become Glacier shareholders. See “Comparison of Certain Rights of Holders of Glacier and CCCIMB Common Stock.”

Risks Associated with Glacier’s Business

Glacier is, and will continue to be, subject to the risks described in Glacier’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, as updated by a Quarterly Report on Form10-Q for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and subsequent Current Reports on Form8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form10-Q, all of which are filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information About Glacier” included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document, including information included or incorporated by reference in this document may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,(i) statements about the benefits of the merger, including future financial and operating results, cost savings, enhancements to revenue and accretion to reported earnings that may be realized from the merger;(ii) statements about our respective plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts; and(iii) other statements identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Glacier’s and CCC’sIMB’s control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

In addition to risk factors described above, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements:

 

the merger may not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all;

 

Glacier’s stock price could change before closing of the merger due to, among other things, stock market movements and the performance of financial companies and peer group companies, over which Glacier has no control;

 

benefits from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, including as a result of changes in general economic and market conditions, interest and exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of competition in the geographic and business areas in which Glacier and CCCIMB operate;

 

CCC’sIMB’s business may not be integrated into Glacier’s successfully, or such integration may take longer to accomplish than expected;

 

the anticipated growth opportunities and cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; and

 

operating costs, customer losses and business disruption following the merger, including adverse developments in relationships with employees, may be greater than expected.

Termination of the Shareholders Agreement

CCC and the owners of all issued and outstanding common stock of CCC are parties to the Columbine Capital Corp.

Among other things, the Shareholders Agreement requires that if a CCC shareholder desires to dispose of any of his CCC common stock he must first offer such common stock to CCC at a designated purchase price (currently $135.00 per share).

The Shareholders Agreement does not expressly address a situation such as the presently proposed merger of CCC with and into Glacier, and the related conversion of CCC common stock into the merger consideration upon closing; however, CCC does not believe that the right of first refusal set forth in the Shareholders Agreement was intended to apply to the proposed merger. Nevertheless, CCC shareholders will be asked to approve the termination of the Shareholders Agreement, conditioned only upon the closing of the merger, to clarify that the shares of Glacier common stock to be held by former CCC shareholders following the closing of the merger, which will otherwise be tradable without restriction, are free from contractual restrictions on transfer as well.

The CCC Board has determined that termination of the Shareholders Agreement is appropriate. Such termination will be conditioned only upon the consummation of the merger of CCC with and into Glacier as described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Such termination will occur, if approved, concurrently with the consummation of the merger.

The Shareholders Agreement may be altered, amended or terminated upon the approval oftwo-thirds (2/3) of the voting shares of CCC, which shall be binding on CCC and the holders of all CCC shares subject to the agreement.

WithDuring that time, inmid-2016 and again in early 2017, a bank holding company, which we will refer to as Party B, through its independent financial adviser, expressed interest in exploring a potential strategic transaction with or acquisition of IMB. In respect of the interest expressed by Party B, and again with the assistance of CCC’sProBank, the IMB Board engaged in formal strategic planning meetings to identify and evaluate the key strategic issues facing the organization. The first such meeting was held October 18, 2016 and a second was held January 17, 2017.

At these meetings specifically, the IMB Board identified several important planning issues, including existing and anticipated liquidity requests from IMB shareholders, the amount of parent holding company debt and debt service obligations, management and board of director succession at both IMB and FSB, regulatory capital requirements and alternatives for capital formation, and FSB strategic plans for expansion and growth. Notably, the October 2016 meeting included discussions of various capital planning strategies, income tax elections and status, costs and benefits of registration under the United States federal securities laws of IMB securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission, strategic merger alternatives, and potential transactions with publicly traded bank holding companies.

In January 2017, the IMB Board held its second strategic planning meeting to continue the review and discussion of the various strategic issues and alternatives discussed at the October 2016 planning meeting, and to consider other options and alternatives to the extent available.

Then, in late January 2017, IMB’s executive management and ProBank met with executive management of a different bank holding company, which we will refer to as Party C, to discuss a possible strategic merger or other transaction with IMB. Based on these discussions, the strategic alternatives presented by and contemplated with Party C were determined not practicable and discussions terminated.

Following the termination of the discussions with Party C, the IMB Board developed over the next several weeks a strategic plan based in part on decisions made at the strategic planning meetings and in light of its meeting with Party C. The strategic plan outlined the IMB Board’s current decision to maintain IMB’s election to be taxed subject to Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code, evaluate changes to the IMB Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement, continue IMB’s dividend policy of distributing income to its shareholders at the highest marginal combined individual personal income tax rates, manage FSB’s capital level and pay excess capital to its parent holding company, develop management and board of director succession plans for IMB and FSB, and make a decision by June 30, 2017 about whether to raise capital to fund possible debt reduction and share repurchases and to be used for other general corporate purposes. Finally, the IMB Board noted its desire to remain an independent bank holding company, but that it would in furtherance of the exercise of its fiduciary duties to shareholders remain open to considering all possible strategic alternatives.

In early May 2017, the Chief Executive Officer of Party B again contacted IMB through ProBank to express Party B’s continuing interest in effecting a strategic transaction with IMB. At a meeting of IMB’s Board on May 16, 2017, at which IMB’s outside legal counsel and financial adviser participated, the IMB Board discussed an appropriate response to the Party B expression of interest. Following deliberation, at a meeting held on May 18, 2017, the IMB Board instructed ProBank to request subject to terms of confidentiality a term sheet from Party B that would outline in reasonable detail the salient terms of its proposal for further consideration and deliberation of the IMB Board.

Thereafter, on June 7, 2017, Party B communicated a verbal indication of interest through Party B’s independent financial advisor D.A. Davidson & Co. (“Davidson”),to ProBank. Party B proposed in general terms to acquire IMB for approximately $153 million payable in Party B’s publicly traded common stock, subject to confirmatory due diligence, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. On June 21, 2017, the boardIMB Board met with ProBank and outside legal counsel to IMB to evaluate and discuss Party B’s indication of directorsinterest. The IMB Board also discussed other potential merger partners, the advantages and disadvantages of CCCa broad marketing of IMB for sale, and IMB’s strategic plan. Glacier was then identified Glacier, among other entities, as a result of the discussions as an attractive potential future merger partner in view of Glacier’s successful track record with other acquisitions, its emphasis on locally managed community banking, its strong historical pursuitfinancial performance and the strong historical performance of similar sized banks as Collegiate Bank,Glacier common stock and its strong financial performance.related dividend payouts. Following discussion and consideration of the alternatives, the IMB Board authorized executive management and ProBank to contact Glacier’s executive management to inquire whether Glacier had a potential interest in acquiring IMB.

Reasons For The Merger – CCCIMB

At a board meeting held on June 5,October 24, 2017, the CCCIMB Board determined that the terms of the merger agreement were in the best interests of CCCIMB and its shareholders. In the course of reaching this determination and related decision to approve the merger agreement, the CCCIMB Board evaluated the merger and the merger agreement in consultation with the management of CCCIMB and CCC’sIMB’s financial advisor and legal counsel. In reaching its determination, the CCCIMB Board considered a number of factors. Such factors also constituted the reasons that the CCCIMB Board determined to approve the merger agreement and to

recommend that CCCIMB shareholders vote in favor of the merger agreement. Such reasons included the following:

 

the terms of the merger agreement and the value, form and mix of consideration to be received by CCCIMB shareholders in the merger;

 

the historical trading ranges for Glacier common stock;

 

the historic and prospective business of CCC;IMB and the strategic plan of IMB;

the likely impact of the merger on the employees and customers of CCC;FSB and the strategic plans, methods of operation and organizational structure of Glacier Bank;

 

the future employment opportunities for the existing employees of CCC;FSB;

the illiquidity of IMB stock, IMB and FSB capital planning and capital retention and growth prospects;

the costs and other effects of increased regulatory compliance when FSB exceeds $1 billion in assets and the opportunities for growth through acquisitions of other banks;

the geographic locations of Glacier Bank and FSB;

the election to be subject to Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and limitations on the number and type of shareholders and the limitations on securities that IMB may issue;

the effects of termination of the IMB election under Subchapter S including the aggregate tax liability of IMB and its shareholders;

the Shareholder Agreement and the restrictions on transfer of IMB common stock;

 

information concerning Glacier’s financial condition and results of operations as well as the likelihood that Glacier would be able to obtain regulatory approval for the merger;

 

the opinion, dated June 5,October 26, 2017, of DavidsonProBank Austin to the CCCIMB Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to the holders of CCCIMB common stock of the merger consideration in the proposed merger, as more fully described below under “Opinion of CCC’sIMB’s Financial Advisor”;

 

the expectation that CCCIMB shareholders would have the opportunity to continue to participate in the growth of the combined company and would also benefit from the significantly greater liquidity of the trading market for Glacier common stock;

 

that Glacier has historically paid cash dividends on its common stock;

 

the fact that Glacier’s common stock is widely held and has an active trading market, whereas CCC’sIMB’s stock is illiquid;

 

the provisions in the merger agreement that provide for the ability of the CCCIMB Board to respond to an unsolicited acquisition proposal that the CCCIMB Board determines in good faith is a superior proposal as defined in the merger agreement;agreement and to otherwise exercise its fiduciary and legal duties;

the provisions of the merger agreement that provide for the ability of the CCCIMB Board to terminate the merger agreement, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of abreak-up fee, if CCCIMB has entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior proposal;“Superior Proposal”; and

 

the likelihood of the merger being approved by applicable regulatory authorities without undue conditions or delay.

The CCCIMB Board also considered a number of uncertainties and risks in its deliberations concerning the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, including the following:

 

that a portion of the merger consideration will be paid through the issuance of a fixed number of shares of Glacier common stock, and any decrease in the market price of Glacier common stock after the date of the merger agreement will result in a reduction in the aggregate merger consideration to be received by CCCIMB shareholders at the time of completion of the merger, subject to the adjustment procedures described under “The Merger —Termination– Termination of the Merger Agreement”;

 

that CCCIMB shareholders will not necessarily know or be able to calculate the actual value of the merger consideration which they would receive upon completion of the merger;

 

the possible disruption to CCC’sIMB’s business that may result from the announcement of the merger and the resulting distraction of management’s attention from theday-to-day operations of CCC’sIMB’s business; and

the restrictions contained in the merger agreement on the operation of CCC’sIMB’s business during the period between signing of the merger agreement and completion of the merger, as well as the other covenants and agreements of CCCIMB contained in the merger agreement.

The foregoing discussion of the reasons that led the CCCIMB Board to approve the merger agreement and recommend that CCC’sIMB’s shareholders vote in favor of the merger agreement is not intended to be exhaustive but is believed to include all of the material reasons for the CCCIMB Board’s decision. In reaching its determination to approve and recommend the transaction, the CCCIMB Board based its recommendation on the totality of the information presented to it and did not assign any relative or specific weights to the reasons considered in reaching that determination. Individual directors may have given differing weights to different reasons. After deliberating with respect to the merger with Glacier, considering, among other things, the matters discussed above, the CCCIMB Board unanimously approved the merger agreement and the merger with Glacier as being in the best interests of CCCIMB and its shareholders.

Pro Forma Merger Analysis.ProBank Austin analyzed the potential pro forma effect of the merger to Glacier’s performance metrics. Assumptions were made regarding the fair value accounting adjustments, cost savings and other things, the following implied ratios:

transaction price compared to earnings per share for the last twelve months,acquisition adjustments based on discussions with management of IMB and Glacier and their representatives. For Glacier, ProBank Austin relied on consensus earnings estimates provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The pro forma merger analysis indicated that the latest publicly available financial statements of the target company priorMerger is expected to the announcement of the transaction;

Net Present Value Analysis for CCC

Davidson performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of CCC common stock under various circumstances. The analysis assumed: (i) CCC performed in accordance with CCC management’s financial forecasts for the years ending December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018; and (ii) an estimated long-term growth rate for the years thereafter, as discussed with and confirmed by CCC management. To approximate the terminal value of CCC common stock at December 31, 2022, Davidson applied price to earnings multiples of 10.0x to 17.0x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 180.0% to 250.0%. The income streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 9.00% to 15.00% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of CCC’s common stock. In evaluating the discount rate, Davidson used industry standard methods of adding the current risk-free rate, which is based on the20-year Treasury yield, plus the published Duff & Phelps Industry Equity Risk Premium and plus the published Duff & Phelps Size Premium.

At the June 5, 2017 CCC board of directors meeting, Davidson noted that the net present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results.

As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicates an imputed range of values per share of CCC common stock of $90.51 to $201.18 when applying the price to earnings multiples to the financial forecasts and $138.87 to $252.17 when applying the multiples of tangible book value to the financial forecasts.

Davidson also considered and discussed with the CCC Board how this analysis would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including variations with respect to net income. To illustrate this impact, Davidson performed a similar analysis assuming CCC estimatedGlacier’s earnings per share in 2022 varied from 20.00% above projections to 20.00% below projections. This analysis resulted in the following range of per share values for CCC common stock, using the same price to earnings multiples of 10.0x to 17.0x and a discount rate of 12.68%.

Net Present Value Analysis for Glacier

Davidson performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Glacier common stock under various circumstances.

Net Present Value Analysis for Pro Forma Glacier

Davidson performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of Glacier common stock under various circumstances, including the impact of the merger with CCC. The analysis assumed (i) Glacier performed in accordance with average FactSet Research Systems, Inc. consensus earnings estimates for the years ending December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, (ii) an estimated long-term growth rate for the years thereafter; and (iii) the pro forma financial impactexpectations of the merger with CCC including the cost savings estimates, purchase accounting adjustments and transaction expenses,Glacier as discussed with and confirmedpublicly disclosed by Glacier management. The analysis assumed (i) CCC performed in accordance with CCC management’s financial forecastson October 26, 2017.

Pro Forma Dividends Per Share.IMB made anS-Corporation election under the Internal Revenue Code for the years ending December 31, 2017tax year beginning January 1, 2003.S-Corporations are pass-through entities. IMB has no federal income tax liability and December 31, 2018,its earnings pass through to shareholders, subject to taxation at the shareholder level. IMB has historically paid shareholder dividends in an amount sufficient to pay tax on pass-through earnings at the highest combined marginal federal and (ii) an estimated long-term growthstate tax rate. Based on the implied 22.841 exchange ratio and Glacier’s current quarterly dividend rate for the years thereafter, as discussed with and confirmed by CCC management. To approximate the terminal value of Glacier common stock at December 31, 2022, Davidson applied price to earnings multiples of 13.0x to 20.0x and multiples of tangible book value ranging from 160.0% to 300.0%. The income streams and terminal values were then discounted to present values using different discount rates ranging from 9.00% to 15.00% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Glacier’s common stock. In evaluating the discount rate, Davidson used industry standard methods of adding the current risk-free rate, which is based on the20-year Treasury yield, plus the published Duff & Phelps Industry Equity Risk Premium and plus the published Duff & Phelps Size Premium.

At the June 5, 2017 CCC board of directors meeting, Davidson noted that the net present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results.

As illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicates an imputed range of values$0.21 per share, IMB’s equivalent annualized cash dividends would equal $19.19 for each current IMB common share. In addition, Glacier has paid a special cash dividend of Glacier common stock of $22.18 to $40.30 when applying the price to earnings multiples to the financial forecasts and $20.24 to $43.18 when applying the multiples of tangible book value to the financial forecasts.

Davidson also considered and discussed with the CCC Board how this analysis would be affected by changes in the underlying assumptions, including variations with respect to net income. To illustrate this impact, Davidson performed a similar analysis assuming Glacier’s pro forma estimated earnings per share in 2022 varied from 20.0% above projections to 20.0% below projections. This analysis resulted in the following range of per share values for Glacier common stock using the same price to earnings multiples of 13.0x to 20.0x, and using a discount rate of 10.00%.

Financial Impact Analysis

Davidson performed pro forma merger analyses that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of CCC and Glacier. Assumptions regarding the accounting treatment, acquisition adjustments and cost savings were used to calculate the financial impact that the merger would have on certain projected financial results of Glacier. In the course of this analysis, Davidson used the average FactSet Research Systems, Inc. consensus earnings estimates for Glacier for the years ending December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2018, and used an estimated long-term growth rate for the years thereafter, as discussed with, and confirmed by, senior management of Glacier and CCC. This analysis indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to Glacier’s estimated earnings per share in 2018, after excludingnon-recurring transaction-related expenses. The analysis also indicated that the merger is expected to be dilutive to tangible book value$0.30 per share for each of the past three years. If Glacier continues the practice of paying a $0.30 per share special dividend, the IMB equivalent special cash dividend would equal $6.85 for each current IMB common share.

ProBank Austin’s Compensation and that Glacier would maintain capital ratiosOther Relationships with IMB and Glacier.IMB has agreed to pay ProBank Austin customary fees for its services as exclusive financial advisor in excessconnection with the Merger. IMB paid ProBank Austin $50,000 upon the issuance of those requiredthe ProBank Austin Opinion. IMB has also agreed to pay ProBank Austin a transaction fee equal to 1.00 percent of the transaction value, with $50,000 payable upon execution of the definitive agreement and the balance due at closing of the Merger.

IMB agreed to reimburse ProBank Austin for Glacierits reasonableout-of-pocket expenses, and to indemnify ProBank Austin against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities laws. ProBank Austin has provided various consulting services to IMB in the past, including investment banking services. ProBank Austin does not have any prior, existing or pending engagements with Glacier.

Summary.Based on the preceding summary discussion and analysis, and subject to the qualifications described herein, ProBank Austin determined the Merger Consideration to be considered well-capitalized under existing regulations. For all of the above analyses, the actual results achieved by CCC and Glacier prior to and following the merger will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

Davidson prepared its analyses for purposes of providing its opinion to CCC’s board of directors as to the fairness,fair, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid to the holders of the CCCIMB common stock in the proposed merger and to assist CCC’s board of directors in analyzing the proposed merger. The analyses do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based uponstock.

numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties and their respective advisors, none of CCC, Glacier or Davidson or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted.

Davidson’sThe opinion expressed by ProBank Austin was one of many factors considered by the CCC’s board of directors in its evaluation of the merger and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the board of directors of CCC or management with respect to the merger or the merger consideration.

Davidson and its affiliates, as part of their investment banking business, are continually engaged in performing financial analyses with respect to businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, competitive biddings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placementsbased on market, economic and other transactions. Davidson actedrelevant considerations as financial advisor to CCC in connection with,they existed and participated in certaincould be evaluated as of the negotiations leading to the merger. Davidson is a full service securities firm engaged, either directly or through its affiliates, in securities trading, investment management, financial planning and benefits counseling, financing and brokerage activities for both companies and individuals. In the ordinary course of these activities, Davidson and its affiliates may provide such services to CCC, Glacier and their respective affiliates, may actively trade the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of CCC and Glacier for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions of such securities. CCC selected Davidson as its financial advisor because it is a recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 6, 2017, CCC engaged Davidson as its financial advisor in connection with the contemplated transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter, CCC agreed to pay Davidson a cash fee of $100,000 concurrently with the rendering of its fairness opinion. CCC has agreed to pay Davidson $100,000 upon filing of the formS-4 by Glacier. CCC will pay to Davidson at the time of closing of the merger a contingent cash fee equal to 1.20% of the Aggregate Consideration less $150,000 to credit a portion of fees received. CCC has also agreed to reimburse Davidson for all reasonableout-of-pocket expenses, including fees of counsel, and to indemnify Davidson and certain related persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, relating to or arising out of its engagement.

Davidson has, in the past, provided certain investment banking services to CCC and its affiliates, has had a material relationship with CCC and its affiliates and has received compensation and reimbursement ofout-of-pocket expenses for such services. During the two years preceding the date of the opinion. Events occurring after the date of issuance of the opinion, Davidson received compensation for acting asincluding, but not limited to, changes affecting the sole placement agent and financial advisor to CCC on its subordinated debt offering in 2016. Insecurities markets, the past, Davidson has advised Glacier on numerous transactions and helped raise debt and equity capital for Glacier. Asresults of June 5, 2017, Davidson was not engaged on any assignments by Glacier. Additionally, Davidson may provide investment banking services to the combined companyoperations or material changes in the future and may receive future compensation.financial condition of either Glacier or IMB could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this opinion.

THE MERGER

The following is a brief description of the material aspects of the merger. There are other aspects of the merger that are not discussed below but that are contained in the merger agreement. You are being asked to approve the merger in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement, and you are urged to read the merger agreement carefully. The merger agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus asAppendix A.

Basic Terms of the Merger

The merger agreement provides for the merger of CCCIMB with and into Glacier and, immediately thereafter, the merger of Collegiate BankFSB with and into Glacier Bank, Glacier’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the merger, Collegiatethe former branches of FSB located in the Bozeman area will be combined with Glacier Bank’s existing Big Sky Western Bank division, and the operating division will operate under the name andbecome known as “Collegiate Peaks“First Security Bank of Bozeman, a division of Glacier Bank.” FSB’s four northern branches and two loan production offices will be combined with and become a part of Glacier Bank’s First Bank of Montana division.

In the merger, CCCIMB shareholders will receive a combination of Glacier common stock and cash for their CCCIMB common stock, as described below. See “– Merger Consideration.”

While Glacier and CCCIMB believe that they will receive the necessary regulatory approvals for the merger, there can be no assurance that such approvals will be received or, if received, as to the timing of such approvals or as to the ability to obtain such approvals on satisfactory terms. See “– Conditions to the Merger” and “– Regulatory Requirements.”

Merger Consideration

The merger agreement provides that asAs of the effective date of the merger, each share of CCCIMB common stock will be converted into the right to receive a “unit” comprised22.841 shares of Glacier common stock, and cash, as follows:

Stock Portion of Merger Consideration

3.7681 Glacier shares, subject to adjustment as follows:

If the average closing price of Glacier common stock calculated in accordance with the merger agreement exceeds $42.04,$42.11, Glacier may elect to terminate the merger agreement, unless CCCIMB elects to accept a decrease in theon aper-share basis in the number of shares of Glacier sharescommon stock to be issued in the merger. In prior merger transactions with similar adjustment rights, Glacier has exercised its right to terminate the merger agreement, and the seller in such prior merger transactions elected to accept a decrease in theper-share number of shares of Glacier shares to becommon stock issued in the merger.

Conversely, if the average closing price is below $31.08, CCC$28.07, IMB may elect to terminate the merger agreement unless Glacier elects to increase theon aper-share basis the number of shares of Glacier sharescommon stock to be issued in order to avoid such termination. However, ifAlternatively, Glacier may elect to pay cash consideration, or a combination of cash consideration and additional Glacier shares, so that the closingvalue of consideration received by IMB shareholders equals an amount specified in the merger occurs prior to December 31, 2017 (which is not expected) and Glacier’s average closing price is more than $29.25, CCC will have no right to provide a notice of termination unless Glacier’s stock has also underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%.agreement.

Assuming for purposes of illustration only that the average closing price of Glacier common stock is $[        ] (which was theper-share closing price of Glacier common stock on [            ], 2017), CCCIMB shareholders would receive 3.768122.841 shares of Glacier common stock for each share of CCCIMB common stock because the average closing price did not exceed $42.04$42.11 or fall below the amounts set forth above.$28.07.

The actual Glacier average closing price will not be determined until 10 days prior to the closing of the merger, and it cannot be predicted whether such average closing price will be above or below the most likely collar range of between $42.04$42.11 and $31.08.$28.07.

Cash Portion of Merger ConsiderationPossible Special Dividend

$34.4504 in cash, subject to adjustment as follows: If the “CCC Closing Capital” is less than $36,194,000, which is expected to be the “Closing Capital Requirement” (as defined below), the cash portion of each unit will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the amount of such deficiency.

If CCCIMB Closing Capital exceeds the Closing Capital Requirement, CCCIMB may, upon written notice to Glacier and effective immediately prior to the closing of the merger, declare and pay a special dividend to its shareholders in the amount of such excess, or, alternatively, the cash portion of the merger consideration will be increased by the amount of such excess.

CCCIMB Closing Capital” is specifically defined in the merger agreement and is equal to an amount, estimated as of the closing date of the merger, equal to CCC’sIMB’s capital stock, surplus and retained earnings determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) on a consolidated basis, net of goodwill and other intangible assets, calculated in the same manner in which CCC’sIMB’s consolidated tangible equity capital at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 was calculated, after giving effect to adjustments, calculated in accordance with GAAP, for accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as reported on CCC’sIMB’s or FSB’s balance sheet. The IMB “Closing Capital Requirement” is $73,500,000.

The CCCIMB Closing Capital may be adjusted based on the estimated final amount of transaction-related expenses to be incurred by CCC,IMB, as determined and agreed upon between CCCIMB and Glacier in accordance with the merger agreement (the “Final Transaction-Related Expenses”). To the extent the Final Transaction-Related Expenses do not equal $2,450,000,exceed $5,300,000, the amount of such difference,excess, on anafter-tax basis, will be reflected as apro-forma adjustment to the CCCIMB Closing Capital, reducing or increasing, as the case may be, the amount of the CCCIMB Closing Capital.

Assuming for purposes of illustration only that(i) there is no reduction of the cash portion of the merger consideration, and(ii) the average closing price of Glacier common stock immediately prior to the closing of the merger is $[        ] (which was the closing price for Glacier common stock on [            ], 2017), each share of CCC common stock would receive consideration with a value equal to $[        ] consisting of $34.4504 in cash and 3.7681 shares of Glacier common stock.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Glacier common stock will be issued to any holder of CCCIMB common stock in the merger. For each fractional share that would otherwise be issued, Glacier will pay cash in an amount equal to the fraction multiplied by the Glacier average closing price calculated as provided in the merger agreement. No interest will be paid or accrued on cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Glacier common stock.

Effective Date of the Merger

Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions to the obligations of the parties to complete the merger as set forth in the merger agreement, the effective date of the merger will be the date the merger becomes effective under the Montana Business Corporation Act, and the Colorado Business Corporation Act, which is expected to occur on the date of closing. Subject to the foregoing and the possible adjustment of the closing date as discussed under “—Closing Date” below, it is currently anticipated that the merger will be consummated during the first quarter of 2018.

Either Glacier or CCCIMB may terminate the merger agreement if the effective date does not occur on or before April 30,July 31, 2018, unless extended under certain circumstances as described under “—Termination of the Merger Agreement” below.

Closing Date

The merger agreement contemplates a possible closing date in 2017 in the event that the “Durbin Amendment” is repealed or overturned. The Durbin Amendment, which was passed with the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation in 2010, limits the interchange fees paid to banks by merchants for the privilege of accepting payment cards. The legislation applies to banks with over $10 billion in assets, and Glacier believes that the proposed merger of Collegiate Bank with and into Glacier Bank will result in Glacier having over $10 billion in assets. Glacier desires to postpone the effect on it of the Durbin Amendment until 2018 if possible. Accordingly, the merger agreement provides that Glacier and CCC will use reasonable best efforts to permit consummation of the merger on or before February 28, 2018, but that if the Durbin Amendment is repealed or overturned and there is no economic harm to Glacier in completing the merger in 2017, then Glacier will use its best efforts to close the merger as of amonth-end on or prior to November 30, 2017. If the closing does not occur on or prior to November 30, 2017, the earliest next possible closing date would be February 28, 2018.

Letter of Transmittal

Promptly following the effective date of the merger, Glacier’s exchange agent will send a letter of transmittal to each holder of record of CCCIMB common stock. This mailing will contain instructions on how to surrender CCCIMB common stock certificates or other evidence of ownership in exchange for the merger consideration that the holder is entitled to receive under the merger agreement.

With the exception of any proposed dissenting shares, each CCCIMB stock certificate will, from and after the effective date of the merger, be deemed to represent and evidence only the right to receive the portion of the merger consideration payable with respect to such certificate. CCCIMB shareholders must provide properly completed and executed letters of transmittal in order to effect the exchange of their shares of CCCIMB common stock for(i) evidence of issuance in book entry form, or upon the request of the holder, stock certificates, representing Glacier common stock, in payment of the stock portion of the merger consideration;(ii) a check or atin the electionevent that Glacier elects to pay cash consideration under the circumstances described under “– Termination of the CCC shareholder, a wire transfer (but only if the amount of cash included in such shareholder’s merger consideration exceeds $100,000), in payment of the cash portion of the merger consideration;Merger Agreement” below, and/or(iii) a check representing the amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any.

Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates

If a certificate for CCCIMB common stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will be authorized to issue or pay the holder’s merger consideration, if the holder provides Glacier with(i) satisfactory evidence that the holder owns the CCCIMB common stock and that the certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed,(ii) any affidavit or security Glacier may require (including any bond that may be required by the exchange agent in accordance with its policies), and(iii) any reasonable additional assurances that Glacier or Glacier’s exchange agent may require.require, which may include indemnification of Glacier if the lost, stolen or destroyed certificates are subsequently presented.

Voting Agreements

TheIMB’s directors of CCCand certain IMB shareholders have entered into voting agreements, dated as of June 6,October 26, 2017. In the voting agreements, each person agrees, among other things, to vote the shares of CCCIMB common stock that he or she is entitled to vote and that he or she owns or controls in favor of the merger agreement. As of the date hereof, the persons who have entered into the voting agreements are entitled to vote a total of [___][                ] shares of CCCIMB common stock, representing approximately [___]%[    ]% of all outstanding shares of CCCIMB common stock.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal

Under the Colorado Business Corporation Act (“CBCA”), CCCMontana law, IMB shareholders have the right to dissent from the merger and to receive payment in cash for the “fair value” of their shares of CCCIMB common stock as determined pursuant to the CBCA.stock.

CCCIMB shareholders electing to exercise dissenters’ rights must fully comply with the provisions of applicable Colorado lawthe Montana appraisal laws in order to perfect their rights. The following is intended only as a brief summary of the material provisions of the procedures that a CCCan IMB shareholder must follow in order to dissent from the merger and perfect dissenters’ rights.This summary, however,is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Colorado dissenters’ rights law,Montana appraisal laws, the full text of which is set forth in Appendix B to this document.

A shareholder who wishes to assetassert dissenters’ rights must:

 

notbefore IMB shareholders vote in favor ofon the merger agreement, and

prior to the time of the vote taken by CCC shareholders, deliver to CCCIMB written notice of the shareholder’s intent to exercise dissenter’s rights.demand payment for the shareholder’s shares if the merger is completed, and

not vote the shares in favor of the merger.

A shareholder wishing to deliver a notice asserting dissenters’ rights should hand deliverhand-deliver or mail the notice to the following address:

Columbine Capital Corp.Inter-Mountain Bancorp., Inc.

Denver, Colorado 80246Bozeman, Montana 59715

Attention: Valarie Abraham, Secretary

Except in certain circumstances specified in the CBCA, aA shareholder electingwho wishes to assert dissenter’sexercise dissenters’ rights generally must generally assert such rightsdissent with respect to all share of CCC common stockthe shares the shareholder owns or over which the shareholder has the power to direct the vote. However, if a record shareholder is a nominee for several beneficial shareholders, some of whom wish to dissent and some of whom do not, then the record holder may dissent with respect to all the shares beneficially owned by any one person by notifying IMB in writing of the shareholder.name and address of each person on whose behalf the record shareholder asserts dissenters’ rights. A beneficial shareholder may assert dissenters’ rights directly by submitting to IMB the record shareholder’s written consent and by dissenting with respect to all the shares of which the shareholder is the beneficial shareholder or over which the shareholder has power to direct the vote.

A shareholder who does not, prior to the IMB shareholder vote on the merger agreement, deliver to IMB a written notice of the shareholder’s intent to demand payment under dissenter’sfor the “fair value” of the shares will lose the right to exercise dissenters’ rights. In addition, any shareholder electing to exercise dissenters’ rights given to CCC shareholders must be in writing.If a shareholder fails to meeteither vote against the requirements for assertion of dissenter’s rights, such shareholder is not entitled to payment for his, hermerger or its shares under the CBCA.abstain from voting.

If a shareholder properly asserts dissenter’s rights and the proposed merger is consummated,completed, Glacier as(as the surviving corporation incorporation) will, within 10 days after the merger, will send each shareholder who has properly exercised dissenter’s rights a dissenter’s notice, notifying the shareholder of, among other things, the completioneffective date of the merger, and provide the shareholder instructions for the depositdeliver a written notice to all IMB shareholders who properly gave notice of certificates representing the dissenter’s shares of CCC common stock and providetheir intent to exercise dissenters’ rights. The notice will, among other things:

supply a form for demanding payment.A dissenting shareholder who fails to timelypayment;

set a date by which Glacier must receive the payment demand, payment or to deposit certificates representing the dissented shares of CCC common stockwhich date will be between 30 and 60 days after notice is not thereafter entitled to receive payment for his, her or its shares under the CBCA.delivered;

Glacier, as the surviving corporation in the merger, is required to pay all dissenting CCC shareholders who have properly and timely exercised dissenter’s rights, deposited certificates and demanded payment

state Glacier’s estimate of the “fair value” for the shares and the date by which any notice to withdraw (discussed below) must be received; and

provide a copy of the dissenters’ rights provisions of the Montana Code Annotated, Sections35-1-826 through35-1-839.

A shareholder wishing to exercise dissenters’ rights must at that time file the payment demand and deliver share certificates as required in the notice. Failure to do so will cause that person to lose their shares of CCC common stock. The amount of payment is determineddissenters’ rights.

A shareholder who has complied with the requirements summarized in the previous paragraph may nevertheless decline to exercise dissenters’ rights and withdraw from the appraisal process by notifying Glacier by the date set forth in the written notice provided by Glacier and made to dissenting shareholders within time frames specifiedfollowing consummation of the merger. If the shareholder does not withdraw from the appraisal process by the CBCA. If a shareholder is dissatisfied withspecified date, he or she may not do so thereafter unless Glacier consents to such withdrawal in writing.

Upon completion of the amountmerger or receipt of the payment determined bydemand, whichever is later, Glacier suchwill pay each dissenter with properly perfected dissenters’ rights Glacier’s estimate of the “fair value” of the shareholder’s shares, plus accrued interest from the effective date of the merger. With respect to a dissenter who did not beneficially own shares of IMB prior to the public announcement of the merger, Glacier is not required to make the payment until the dissenter has agreed to accept the payment in full satisfaction of the dissenter’s demands. “Fair value” means the value of the shares immediately before the effective date of the merger. The “fair value” may be less than, equal to or greater than the value of the consideration that an IMB shareholder would be entitled to receive under the merger agreement.

With respect to CCC Options that remain outstanding and unexercised as of the effective time of the merger, at the effective time each such CCC Option will be assumed by Glacier and automatically converted into an option (“Converted Option”) to purchase Glacier common stock on the same terms and conditions (including vesting) as were in effect to the CCC Option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, except that:

each such Converted Option may be exercised solely for shares of Glacier common stock;

the number of shares of Glacier common stock subject to the Converted Option will be equal to the number of shares of CCC common stock subject to the CCC Option immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, multiplied by the “Exchange Ratio” (as defined in the merger agreement); and

theper-share exercise price for each such Converted Option will be adjusted by dividing theper-share exercise price of the CCC Option by the Exchange Ratio.

However, if as of April 30,July 31, 2018, all required regulatory approvals have not been obtained, then the deadline for consummation of the merger will be extended to on or before JulyOctober 31, 2018, if Glacier notifies CCCIMB in writing on or prior to April 30,July 31, 2018 of its election to extend such date.

Mutual Consent. The parties may terminate the merger agreement at any time before closing, whether before or after approval by CCCIMB shareholders, by mutual consent if the board of directors of each party agrees to terminate by a majority vote of all of its members.

If Glacier provides written notice of its intent to terminate the merger agreement because the Glacier average closing price is greater than $42.04, CCC$42.11, IMB may elect, within three business days of its receipt of such notice, to accept an adjustment to theper-share total stock consideration through the issuance of fewer Glacier shares; in such event, theper-share total stock consideration will be the number of Glacier shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing(a) the quotient obtained$195,986,299 by dividing(x) the result of the number of shares of CCC common stock outstanding at the Effective Time, multiplied by theper-share stock consideration, further multiplied by(y)$42.04, by(z)(b) the Glacier average closing price and (b)rounded up to the number of CCC shares outstanding at the closing. nearest whole share.

If CCCIMB makes the election to accept such decrease in the number of Glacier shares to be issued, no termination of the merger agreement will occur, and the merger agreement will remain in effect in accordance with its terms, except as theper-share total stock consideration has been adjusted. In prior merger transactions with similar adjustment rights, Glacier has exercised its right to terminate the merger agreement, and the seller in such prior merger transactions elected to accept a decrease in theper-share number of Glacier shares to be issued in the merger.

Glacier Average Closing Price Less than Specified Amounts$28.07. By specific action of its board of directors, CCCIMB may terminate the merger agreement if the Glacier average closing price is less than certain amounts specified in the merger agreement.$28.07.

If CCCIMB provides written notice of its intent to terminate the merger agreement because the Glacier average closing price is(i) less than $31.08 but not less than $29.25 and the price of Glacier stock has underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%, or(ii) less than $29.25 (or if the merger closes after December 31, 2017, less than $31.08),$28.07, Glacier may elect, within three business of its receipt of such notice, to adjust theper-share total stock consideration (orper-share(through the issuance of additional Glacier shares), or in Glacier’s sole discretion, pay cash consideration, or a combination thereof)of additional Glacier shares and cash, such that the total value of the Glacier stockshares to be issued (plus(based on the Glacier average closing price rounded up to the nearest whole share) plus any additional cash consideration)consideration is equal to the result of(i) the number of shares of CCC common stock outstanding at the closing of the merger, multiplied by(ii) theper-share stock consideration, multiplied by(iii) $29.25, or if the merger closes after December 31, 2017, $31.08.$130,642,019.

If Glacier elects to increase theper-share total stock consideration (orper-shareor pay cash consideration)consideration (or a combination of additional shares and cash, as described above,above), no termination of the merger agreement will occur, and the merger agreement will remain in effect in accordance with its terms, except as the consideration has been adjusted.

Additionally, regardless of whether or not the CCCIMB Board recommends approval of the merger to its shareholders, Glacier or IMB may terminate the merger agreement if CCCIMB shareholders elect not to approve the merger.

Impracticability. Either party may terminate the merger agreement upon written notice to the other party if the board of directors of the party seeking termination has determined in its sole judgment, made in good faith and after due consideration and consultation with counsel, that the merger has become inadvisable or impracticable by reason of actions taken by the federal government or the governmentsgovernment of the StatesState of Montana or Colorado to restrain or invalidate the merger or the merger agreement.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

This section describes the anticipated material United StatesU.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger of CCCIMB with and into Glacier, to U.S. holders of CCCIMB common stock who exchange shares of CCCIMB common stock for a combination of shares of Glacier common stock and cash pursuant to the merger.

For purposes of this discussion, a U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of CCCIMB common stock who for United StatesU.S. federal income tax purposes is:

 

a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

a corporation, or an entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

 

a trust that (1) is subject to (A) the primary supervision of a court within the United States and (B) the authority of one or more United States persons (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person;person (as so defined); or

an estate that is subject to United StatesU.S. federal income tax on its income regardless of its source.

If a partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for United StatesU.S. federal income tax purposes) holds CCCIMB common stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding CCCIMB common stock, you should consult your tax advisor.

This discussion addresses only those CCCIMB shareholders that hold their CCCIMB common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code, and does not address all the United StatesU.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular CCCIMB shareholders in light of their individual circumstances or to CCCIMB shareholders that are subject to special rules, such as:

 

financial institutions;

 

pass-through entities or investors in pass-through entities;

 

insurance companies;

 

tax-exempt organizations;

 

dealers in securities;

 

traders in securities that elect to use a mark to market method of accounting;

 

persons who exercise dissenters’ rights;

 

persons who hold CCCIMB common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction;

 

individual retirement and othertax-deferred accounts;

certain expatriates or persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S.United States dollar;

 

foreign persons;persons, including foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and other foreign entities; and

 

shareholders who acquired their shares of CCCIMB common stock through the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as compensation or through atax-qualified retirement plan.

In addition, the discussion does not address any alternative minimum tax or any state, local or foreignnon-U.S. tax consequences of the merger.

The following discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, its legislative history, existing temporary, final and proposed regulations thereunder and published administrative rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change could affect the continuing validity of this discussion. The tax discussion set forth below is included for general information only. It is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to a particular IMB shareholder.

In connection with the filing of the registration statement of which this document is a part, Garlington, Lohn & Robinson, PLLP, special tax counsel to Glacier, has delivered an opinion to Glacier to the effect that the merger will for U.S. federal income tax purposes qualify as a reorganizationone or more reorganizations within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a); and both Glacier and CCCIMB expect to report the merger accordingly on their U.S. federal income tax returns. The opinion is based on

assumptions, representations, warranties and covenants, including those contained in the merger agreement and in tax representation letters provided by Glacier Glacier Bank and CCC.IMB. The accuracy of such assumptions, representations and warranties, and compliance with such covenants, could affect the conclusions set forth in such opinion. The opinion is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Glacier and CCCIMB have not requested and do not intend to request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the United StatesU.S. federal income tax consequence of the merger. Accordingly, each CCCIMB shareholder should consult his or her tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequences of the merger to such holder.

Tax Consequences of the Merger Generally to Holders of CCCIMB Common Stock.If the merger of IMB with and into Glacier Bank is a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders of IMB common stock are as follows:

 

CCC shareholders will exchangeIf an IMB shareholder exchanges all of their CCChis, her or its IMB common stock for Glacier common stock in the merger, such shareholder will recognize no gain (or loss) on the exchange (except with respect to any cash received instead of fractional share interests in Glacier common stock, as discussed in the section entitled “Cash Received Instead of a Fractional Share of Glacier Common Stock”);

If an IMB shareholder receives a combination of Glacier common stock and cash, in the merger. Accordingly, holders of CCC common stocksuch shareholder will recognize gain (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount by which the sum of the fair market value of the Glacier common stock and cash received by athe holder of CCCIMB common stock exceeds such holder’s cost basis in its CCCIMB common stock, and (2) the amount of cash received by such holder of CCCIMB common stock in exchange for such holder’s CCCIMB common stock (except with respect to any cash received instead of fractional share interests in Glacier common stock, as discussed in the section entitled “Cash Received Instead of a Fractional Share of Glacier Common Stock”);

 

a CCCAn IMB shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the Glacier common stock received in the merger will be equal to the shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in such shareholder’s CCCIMB common stock surrendered, decreased by the amount of any cash received (if any) and increased by the amount of any gain recognized;recognized (if any); and

 

theThe holding period of Glacier common stock received in an exchange for shares of CCCIMB common stock will include the holding period of the CCCIMB common stock for which it is exchanged.

If holdersa U.S. holder of CCCIMB common stock acquired different blocks of CCCIMB common stock at different times or at different prices, any gain or loss will be determined separately with respect to each block of CCCIMB common stock and such holders’holder’s basis and holding period in theirhis, her or its shares of Glacier common stock may be determined with reference to each block of CCCIMB common stock. Any such holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the manner in which cash and Glacier common stock received in the exchange should be allocated among different blocks of CCCIMB common stock and with respect to identifying the bases or holding periods of the particular shares of Glacier common stock received in the merger.

Gain that holdersa U.S. holder of CCCIMB common stock recognize in connection with the merger generally will constitute capital gain and will constitute long-term capital gain if such holders haveholder has held (or areis treated as having held) their CCChis, her or its IMB common stock for more than one year as of the date of the merger. Long-term capital gain ofnon-corporate holders of CCCIMB common stock is generally taxed at preferential rates. In addition, such gain may be subject to the 3.8% Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax on net investment income. Holders of IMB common stock that are individuals, estates, or trusts should

consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Unearned Income Medicare Contribution Tax to the disposition of their shares pursuant to the merger. In some cases, if a holder actually or constructively owns Glacier stock other than Glacier stock received pursuant to the merger, the recognized gain could be treated as having the effect of a distribution of a dividend under the tests set forth in Internal Revenue Code Section 302, in which case such gain would be treated as dividend income. Because the possibility of dividend treatment depends primarily upon each holder’s particular circumstances, including the application of the constructive ownership rules, holders of CCCIMB common stock should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules to their particular circumstances.

Cash Received Instead of a Fractional Share of Glacier Common Stock.A holder of CCCIMB common stock who receives cash instead of a fractional share of Glacier common stock will generally be treated as having received the fractional share pursuant to the merger and then as having that fractional share of Glacier common stock redeemed for cash. As a result, a holder of CCCIMB common stock will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the basis in his, her or its fractional share interest as set forth above. Except as described above, this gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the effective date of the merger, the holding period for such shares is greater than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Payment of Dividend.Dividend. If CCC’sIMB’s capital prior to closing of the merger is in excess of a certainspecified minimum amount, CCCIMB may in its discretion declare and pay a special distribution to holders of its common stock in the amount of such excess. CCCIMB intends to treat that special distribution as a distribution in respect of CCCIMB common stock. The IRSInternal Revenue Service may take a contrary position, and to the extent the IRSInternal Revenue Service were to prevail, the amount paid as the special cash dividend would be treated as additional cash received in connection with the merger, and not as a distribution as described in the succeeding sentence. If the distribution is treated as a distribution with respect to CCCIMB common stock, it will be taxable to the extent it exceeds such holder’s basis in his, her or its shares of IMB common stock. Any amount that exceeds such holder’s basis in his, her or its IMB common stock will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of property (which will generally be capital gain, and will be long-term capital gain if, as of the date of the distribution, the holding period for the shares is greater than one year) and will reduce the holder’s basis in his, her or its IMB common stock.

Subchapter S Considerations. IMB is taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code as an “S corporation.” Glacier is taxed under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code as a “C corporation.” Certain tax consequences will change for IMB shareholders as a result of holding stock in a C corporation instead of an S corporation.

The income (or loss) of an S corporation is passed through to its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, holders of IMB common stock have been required to include their pro rata share of IMB’s income (or loss) on their U.S. federal income tax returns and have been directly liable for any resulting taxes owed. IMB, as an S corporation, does not incur any separate U.S. federal income tax liability except in limited situations.

As a C corporation, Glacier’s income (or loss) is not passed through to its shareholders, but instead Glacier is subject to taxation on any income realized from its operations. Accordingly, there is no “pass-through” of any items of income or loss to the holders of Glacier common stock. Instead, shareholders of Glacier are generally taxed on distributions received from Glacier. Distributions from Glacier to holders of its common stock will be treated as ordinary dividend income to the extent of such holder’s ratable shareGlacier’s current or accumulated undistributed earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of CCC’sGlacier’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, if any. Any amount that exceeds CCC’s earnings and profits will be treated first as atax-free return of capitala shareholder’s tax basis in his, her or its Glacier common stock to the extent of the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of CCCthe common stock (thus reducing such adjusted tax basis) with any remaining amounts being treatedand then as capital gain. Such capital gain

Upon the consummation of the merger, IMB will be long term capital gain if the holder’s holding periodrequired to file a final short-period S corporation corporate income tax return for the sharesperiod ending on the closing date of CCCthe merger. The former holders of IMB common stock exceeded one year atwill include in their individual returns, as appropriate, the distribution date. Any such taxable dividenditems of income, and capital gain, should be included in the U.S. holder’s income in the taxable year in which the distribution is received.loss, deduction or credit realized from IMB’s final short period.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting.Payments of cash made to a holder of CCCIMB common stock may, under certain circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding, unless the holder provides proof of an applicable exemption satisfactory to Glacier and the exchange agent or furnishes its taxpayer identification number, and otherwise complies with all applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld from cash payments made to a holder of IMB common stock under the backup withholding rules are not additional tax and will be allowed as a refund or credit against the holder’s United StatesU.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Reporting Requirements.CCCIMB shareholders who are “significant holders” and who receive shares of Glacier common stock in the merger are required to file a statement with their U.S.United States federal income tax return setting forth certain information, including, but not limited to, their tax basis (determined immediately before the merger) in the CCCIMB common stock exchanged in the merger and the fair market value (determined immediately before the merger) of the CCCIMB common stock exchangedand cash received in the merger. For these purposes a “significant holder” is a holder of CCCIMB common stock who, immediately before the merger,(i) owned at least 5%1% of the total outstanding stock of CCCIMB by vote or value or(ii) owned stock of CCCIMB with a tax basis of at least $1 million. All CCCIMB shareholders will be required to retain permanent tax records of the basis of CCCIMB common stock exchanged and the Glacier common stock and cash received in the merger.

The preceding discussion is intended only as a summary of the material United StatesU.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger. It is not a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax effects that may be important to you. Thus, you are strongly encouraged to consult your tax advisor as to the specific tax consequences resulting from the merger, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local, and other tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.

Accounting Treatment of the Merger

The acquisition of CCCIMB will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting by Glacier under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, using the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of CCCIMB will be recorded by Glacier at their respective fair values at the time of the merger. The excess of Glacier’s purchase price over the net fair value of assets acquired including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed will be

recorded as goodwill. Goodwill will be periodically assessed for impairment but no less frequently than on an annual basis. Prior period financial statements are not restated and results of operation of CCCIMB will be included in Glacier’s consolidated statement of operations after the date of the merger. The identifiable intangible assets with finite lives, other than goodwill, will be amortized against the combined company’s earnings following completion of the merger.

The following is a brief summary of certain differences between the rights of Glacier and CCCIMB shareholders. This summary is not intended to provide a comprehensive discussion of each company’s governing documents. This summary is qualified by the documents referenced and the laws of Montana and Colorado.Montana. See also “Where You Can Find More Information About Glacier.”

The Glacier board of directors may issue preferred stock that is entitled to such dividend rights as the board of directors may determine, including priority over the common stock in the payment of dividends.

The ability of Glacier to pay dividends basically depends on the amount of dividends paid to it by its subsidiaries. The payment of dividends is subject to government regulation, in that regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends in a manner that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. In addition, a bank may not pay cash dividends if doing so would reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital requirements. State laws also limit a bank’s ability to pay dividends. Accordingly, the dividend restrictions imposed on the subsidiaries by statute or regulation effectively may limit the amount of dividends Glacier can pay.

Dividends may be paid on CCCIMB common stock as and when declared by the CCCIMB Board out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. CCC’s paymentSince 2013, IMB has declared and paid dividends based upon an assumed marginal state and federal income tax rate of 45% on IMB income passed through to its shareholders.

The Glacier board of directors may, by a majority vote, amend Glacier’s bylaws. Glacier’s bylaws also may be amended by the holders of a majority of votes cast at an annual or special meeting of shareholders.

The provisions of the CBCA regarding the amendment of a corporation’s articles of incorporation are substantially similar to those of the MBCA described above.

CCC’sIMB’s bylaws provide that the number of directors may not be fewer than two3 nor more than 15. CCC’s board9. The IMB Board currently consists of 96 members, all of whom serve annual terms.

Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

Under the MBCA, indemnification of directors and officers is authorized to cover judgments, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses arising out of actions where the director or officer acted in good faith and in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in criminal cases, where the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Unless limited by the corporation’s articles of incorporation, Montana law requires indemnification if the director or officer is wholly successful on the merits of the action. Glacier’s bylaws provide that Glacier shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, including indemnification for payments in of actions brought against a director or officer in the name of the corporation, commonly referred to as a derivative action. Under the MBCA, any indemnification of a director in a derivative action must be reported to shareholders in writing prior to the next annual meeting of shareholders.

Glacier’s articles provide that the personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullfullest extent permitted by the MBCA.

UnderIMB’s articles provide that a director is not personally liable to IMB or its shareholders other than for acts or omissions creating liability under the CBCA, indemnificationMBCA, including but not limited to receiving financial benefit for which the director is not entitled, intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or shareholders of the corporation, unlawful distributions, and intentional violation of criminal law. The liability of directors and officers is authorizedof IMB may also be limited under the MBCA, and IMB may be obligated to, cover judgments, amounts paidor may in settlement,its discretion, indemnify directors and expenses arising out of proceedings where the directorofficers for certain claims or officer acted in good faith and in or at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in criminal cases, where the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Unless limited by the corporation’s articles of incorporation, Colorado law requires indemnification if the director or officer is wholly successful on the merits of the action. CCC’s articles provide that CCC shall indemnify its directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents to the fullest extent and in the manner permitted by the CBCA.

CCC’s articles provide that the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director is eliminated except for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith, or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, the director’s voting for or assenting to an unlawful distribution, or any transaction from which the director directly or indirectly derived an improper personal benefit. CCC’s bylaws also provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for any expenses or liabilities incurred by him or her in connection with, any injury to person or property arising out of a tort committed by an employee of CCC unless such officer was personally involved in the situation giving rise to the litigation or unless such officer or director committed a criminal offense.legal proceedings.

Potential “Anti-Takeover” Provisions

Glacier’s articles contain a provision requiring that specified transactions with an “interested shareholder” be approved by 80% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares unless it is(i) approved by Glacier’s board of directors, or(ii) certain price and procedural requirements are satisfied. An “interested shareholder” is broadly defined to include the right, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to control the voting or disposition of 10% or more of Glacier’s voting stock.

In addition, the authorization of preferred stock, which is intended primarily as a financing tool and not as a defensive measure against takeovers, may potentially be used by management to make more difficult uninvited attempts to acquire control of Glacier (for example, by diluting the ownership interest of a substantial shareholder, increasing the amount of consideration necessary for such shareholder to obtain control, or selling authorized but unissued shares to friendly third parties).

The “supermajority” approval requirement for certain business transactions and the availability of Glacier’s preferred stock for issuance without shareholder approval, may have the effect of lengthening the time required for a person to acquire control of Glacier through a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and may deter any potentially unfriendly offers or other efforts to obtain control of Glacier. This could deprive Glacier’s shareholders of opportunities to realize a premium for their Glacier common stock, even in circumstances where such action wasis favored by a majority of Glacier’s shareholders.

CCC’sIMB’s articles also authorize the issuance of preferred stock, with the same potential effect as discussed above with respect to Glacier’s ability to issue preferred stock. Additionally, CCC and all of the holders outstanding CCC common stock have entered into the Shareholders Agreement, which would require that prior to a proposed disposition of CCC common stock, the holder first offer such common stock to CCC, at a specified price determined in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement.do not establish “anti-takeover” or similar limitations.

Board of Directors

Columbine Capital CorporationInter-Mountain Bancorp., Inc.

105 Centennial Plaza208 East Main Street

Buena Vista, CO 81211Bozeman, MT 59715

Members of the Board:

We understand that Columbine Capital Corporation (the “Parent”) and Collegiate Peaks Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Bank”) propose to enter into a Merger Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Parent and then the Parent will merge with and into the Company (the “Transaction”).    Immediately following the merger of the Parent into the Company, the Bank will be merged with and into Glacier Bank, with Glacier Bank as the resulting bank. The Transaction calls for each outstanding share of the common stock of the Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any shares of Company common stock issued upon the exercise of Company stock options) shall be converted into and shall represent the right to receive from the Company a unit consisting of (a) $34.4504 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) and (b) 3.7681 shares of common stock of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Per Share Stock Consideration”). The Per Share Cash Consideration and the Per Share Stock Consideration, taken together, are referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration.” The final Merger Consideration paid to the Parent will vary based upon the Parent’s closing tangible equity at closing, and is subject to certain adjustments described in the Agreement. The terms and conditions of the Transaction are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Parent of the Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of Inter-Mountain Bancorp., Inc. (“IMB”) common stock pursuant to the Parent Common StockPlan and Agreement of Merger dated October 26, 2017 (the “Agreement”) among Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“Glacier”), IMB and First Security Bank, Bozeman, Montana. The Agreement provides for the merger of IMB with and into Glacier, with Glacier being the surviving company (the “Merger”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to such terms in the proposed Transaction.Agreement.

The financial terms of the Agreement provide for Glacier to exchange 4,654,151 shares of its common stock for all of the common stock of IMB. Based on 203,763 shares of IMB common stock outstanding, each share of IMB common stock will be converted into the right to receive 22.841 shares of Glacier common stock.

In addition, IMB shareholders may be entitled to a special dividend immediately prior to the closing of the Merger in an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between IMB Closing Capital and the Closing Capital Requirement of $73.5 million. IMB Closing Capital will be based on IMB’s shareholders’ equity under generally accepted accounting principles, net of goodwill and other intangible assets, as adjusted by certain items. Factors that will impact IMB Closing Capital include operating income from July 1, 2017 to the closing, normal tax distribution dividends in accordance with past practice, changes in accumulated other comprehensive income from July 1, 2017 to the closing, and certain Transaction Related Expenses. The amount of the possible special dividend cannot be calculated with a high degree of certainty at this time, and is based in part on factors outside the control of IMB.

The Agreement provides a termination right to IMB under certain circumstances if the Glacier Average Closing Price is less than $28.07 per share unless Glacier agrees to increase the Merger Consideration to $130,642,019 through the issuance of more common shares or payment of cash consideration. Alternatively, the Agreement provides a termination right to Glacier under certain circumstances if the Glacier Average Closing Price is greater than $42.11 per share unless IMB agrees to accept a reduction in Total Stock Consideration through the issuance of fewer shares such that the value of the Merger Consideration is $195,986,299.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Item 20.Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Sections35-1-451 through35-1-459 of the Montana Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”) contain specific provisions relating to indemnification of directors and officers of Montana corporations. In general, the statute provides that(i) a corporation must indemnify a director or officer who is wholly successful in his defense of a proceeding to which he is a party because of his status as such, unless limited by the articles of incorporation, and(ii) a corporation may indemnify a director or officer if he is not wholly successful in such defense, if it is determined as provided in the statute that the director meets a certain standard of conduct, provided that when a director is liable to the corporation, the corporation may not indemnify him. The statute also permits a director or officer of a corporation who is a party to a proceeding to apply to the courts for indemnification or advance of expenses, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, and the court may order indemnification or advancement of expenses under certain circumstances set forth in the statute. The statute further provides that a corporation may in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or by resolution provide indemnification in addition to that provided by statute, subject to certain conditions set forth in the statute.

Glacier’s articles provide, among other things, that the personal liability of the directors and officers of the corporation for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted by the MBCA. Glacier’s bylaws provide that the corporation shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, including indemnification for payments in settlement of actions brought against a director or officer in the name of the corporation.

Item 22. Undertakings

Item 22.Undertakings

(a)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)    To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to;to:

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act;Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II - 1


(3)    To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(b)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(d)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the Effective Dateeffective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
