PRELIMINARY—SUBJECT TO COMPLETION—DATED DECEMBER 16, 2016


PROXY STATEMENT		PROSPECTUS OF
OF TFB BANCORP, INC.		GLACIER BANCORP, INC.

MERGER PROPOSED – YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

Dear TFB Bancorp Shareholders:

As you may know, the boards of directors of TFB Bancorp, Inc. (“TFB”) and Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“Glacier”) have each approved a merger of TFB with and into Glacier, subject to approval of TFB shareholders and appropriate bank regulators. Immediately following the merger, TFB’s subsidiary The Foothills Bank (“Foothills Bank”) will be merged into Glacier’s subsidiary Glacier Bank (“Glacier Bank”).

Under the terms of the Plan and Agreement of Merger, dated November 15, 2016, each outstanding share of TFB common stock will be exchanged for a “unit” comprised of 0.607387 shares of Glacier common stock and $7.36152 in cash, subject to certain adjustments.

The stock portion of each unit is subject to certain adjustments in the event that the average closing price for Glacier common stock prior to closing, calculated in accordance with the merger agreement, is less than $22.62 (or less than $24.04 if Glacier’s stock price has underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%), or more than $32.52, in order to avoid termination of the merger agreement.

The cash portion of each unit is subject to adjustment depending on TFB’s capital prior to the closing of the merger, calculated in accordance with the merger agreement. If TFB’s capital is less than the minimum required, which is $35,160,000 as of the date hereof (subject to specified adjustments), the cash portion of each unit will be reduced on a pro rata basis. If TFB’s capital prior to closing of the merger is in excess of the minimum, the cash portion of the merger consideration will be increased by the pro rata amount of such excess, or alternatively, TFB may in its discretion declare and pay a special dividend to its shareholders in the amount of such excess.

For purposes of illustration only, as of November 30, 2016, TFB’s closing capital would have been approximately $37,731,000 and the minimum closing capital requirement would have been $35,160,000, resulting in an increase in the aggregate cash merger consideration or a special dividend in the amount of approximately $2,571,000.

Assuming for purposes of illustration only that (i) there is no increase or reduction of the cash portion of each unit, and (ii) the average closing price for Glacier common stock is $37.11, which was the closing price of Glacier common stock on December 14, 2016 as quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, for each of your shares of TFB common stock, you will receive consideration with an estimated current value of $27.1137, consisting of a combination of $7.36152 in cash and 0.532262 shares of Glacier common stock (valued at $19.7522). Because the Glacier closing price on December 14, 2016 was above $32.52, this example assumes an adjustment of the stock portion of each unit as described above. The actual Glacier average closing price will not be determined until 10 days prior to the closing of the merger, and thus we cannot predict whether such average closing price will be above or below $32.52. TFB common stock is quoted on the over-the-counter market via the OTC Pink marketplace (“OTC Pink”) but is not actively traded. According to the OTC Pink, the most recent transaction in TFB common stock occurring prior to the announcement of the proposed merger was November 9, 2016 at a price of $16.40 per share.

Assuming the exchange of all outstanding TFB common stock for stock and cash in accordance with the merger agreement, TFB shareholders will own approximately 1.6% of Glacier’s outstanding common stock following the merger.

TFB will hold a special shareholders’ meeting to vote on the merger agreement. The special meeting of the shareholders of TFB will be held on Thursday, January 26, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, at 11689 S. Foothills Blvd., Yuma, Arizona 85367 . Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, please take the time to vote by completing and mailing the enclosed form of proxy.

The board of directors of TFB has unanimously recommended that you vote FOR approval of the merger agreement.

TFB’s directors and certain related shareholders have signed agreements to vote their shares in favor of the merger agreement.

In that regard, the board of directors of TFB considered a number of factors, as discussed in “Reasons for the Merger – TFB” beginning on Page 23, and such factors also constituted the reasons that the board of directors determined to approve the merger agreement and to recommend that TFB shareholders vote in favor of the merger agreement.

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 TFB Bancorp, Inc. (“TFB”) common stock with respect to the proposed merger with Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“Glacier”). The merger cannot be completed unless TFB receives the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of TFB’s common stock. TFB is holding a special meeting of shareholders to vote on the proposals necessary to complete the merger. Information about the special meeting is contained in this document. See “TFB Special Shareholders Meeting.”

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

What will TFB shareholders receive in the merger?

Under the terms of the merger agreement, each share of TFB common stock will be exchanged for a “unit” comprised of 0.607387 shares of Glacier stock and $7.36152 in cash. Both the stock portion and the cash portion of each unit are subject to the adjustments described below. Assuming the exchange of all outstanding TFB common stock for stock and cash in accordance with the merger agreement, TFB shareholders will own approximately 1.6% of Glacier’s outstanding common stock following the merger.

The stock portion of each unit 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 “TFB Closing Capital,” as defined in the merger agreement, immediately prior to the closing of the merger. If the TFB Closing Capital is less than $35,160,000, 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 TFB Closing Capital is greater than $35,160,000, subject to certain adjustments, the cash portion of the per-share merger consideration will be increased by the amount of such excess or alternatively, TFB 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.

On December 14, 2016, the closing price of Glacier’s common stock was $37.11 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 $32.52, Glacier may terminate the merger agreement, unless TFB elects to accept a reduction on a per-share basis in the number of shares of Glacier common stock to be issued in the merger. Based on the assumption that the average closing price is the price as of December 14, 2016, which was $37.11 per share, if TFB were to elect to accept such a reduction, the number of shares of Glacier stock to be issued for each TFB share in the merger would be reduced from 0.607387 to 0.532262. Conversely, if the “average closing price” is (i) below $24.04 but not less than $22.62 and the price of Glacier common stock has underperformed KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%, or (ii) below $22.62, TFB may terminate the merger agreement, unless Glacier elects to increase on a per-share basis the number of shares of Glacier common stock to be issued or cash to be paid in the merger. See “The Merger – Termination of the Merger Agreement.”

By voting to approve the merger agreement, TFB shareholders will give the TFB Board the authority to elect to cause TFB to accept a reduction in the number of shares of Glacier common stock to be issued in the merger, if the Glacier average closing price exceeds $32.52 as described above. See “The Merger – Termination of the Merger Agreement.”

What will I receive in the merger?

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 $37.11 (which was the closing price for Glacier common stock on December 14, 2016), each share of TFB common stock would be exchanged for consideration with a total value equal to $27.1137, consisting of $7.36152 in cash and 0.532262 shares of Glacier common stock valued based on the average closing price above. The number of Glacier shares issued for each TFB share in this example reflects a reduction from 0.607387 shares to 0.532262 shares because the December 14, 2016 Glacier closing price was above $32.52 and assumes that Glacier requires, and TFB accepts, a lower exchange ratio as described above. 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 $32.52. See “The Merger – Merger Consideration.”

When will the merger occur?

We presently expect to complete the merger during the first quarter of 2017. The merger will occur after the approval of the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the shares of TFB 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. If the merger does not occur for any reason by May 31, 2017, either Glacier or TFB may unilaterally terminate the merger agreement.

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.

When and where will the special meeting take place?

TFB will hold a special meeting of its shareholders on Thursday, January 26, 2017, at 5:00 p/m/ Mountain Time, at 11689 S. Foothills Blvd., Yuma, Arizona 85367.

Who may vote at the special meeting?

The TFB Board has set December 14, 2016 as the record date for the special meeting. If you were the owner of TFB common stock at the close of business on December 14, 2016, you may vote at the special meeting.

What vote is required to approve the merger agreement?

Approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of TFB’s outstanding common stock. As described in this proxy statement, the directors and certain related shareholders of TFB have agreed to vote the shares they are entitled to vote in favor of the merger agreement. Such persons are entitled to vote 998,738 shares of TFB common stock (which number excludes unvested restricted shares and all vested and unvested stock options), representing approximately 43.21% of all outstanding shares of TFB common stock. See “TFB Special Shareholders’ Meeting” and “The Merger – Voting Agreements.”

What vote is required to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate?

The proposal to adjourn the TFB special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to solicit additional proxies in favor of the merger, will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes against the proposal, assuming a quorum is present. If less than a quorum is represented at the special meeting, a majority of shares so represented may adjourn the special meeting.

How do I vote?

If you were a shareholder of record on December 14, 2016, you may vote on the proposals presented at the special meeting in person or by proxy. We urge you to vote promptly by telephone, over the internet, or by completing the enclosed proxy card. Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the special meeting.

You may cast your vote by telephone or internet (at no cost to you) as indicated on the proxy card. Telephone and internet voting are available 24 hours per day. Have your proxy card in hand. You will be prompted to vote using the control number provided on your proxy card. If you vote by telephone or internet, there is no need to return the proxy card.

You may cast your vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and returning it to us promptly in the enclosed envelope. Returning the proxy card will not affect your right to attend the special meeting and vote.

If you choose to vote your shares in person at the special meeting, please bring the enclosed proxy card and proof of identification.

Can I change my vote after I have voted by telephone or internet or have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. If your shares of TFB common stock are held in your own name, you may change your vote as follows:

If you vote by telephone or internet, you may change your vote until the telephone or internet polls close. The final vote is the one that will count.

If you fill out and submit the proxy card, you may change your vote at any time before the vote is conducted at the special meeting by:

•

sending a written notice to the Secretary of TFB (at TFB Bancorp, Inc., ATTN: Secretary, 11687 S. Foothills Blvd., Yuma, Arizona 85367) stating that you would like to revoke your proxy and provide new instructions on how to vote;

•

completing and submitting a later-dated proxy card; or

•

attending the meeting and voting in person. If you intend to vote in person and your shares of TFB common stock are held by a broker, you should contact your broker for instructions.

If you choose either the first or second method above, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy card to TFB’s Secretary prior to the vote at the special meeting.

What happens if I return my proxy but do not indicate how to vote my shares?

If you sign and return your proxy card but do not provide instructions on how to vote your shares of TFB common stock, at the special meeting of shareholders, your shares of TFB common stock will be voted “FOR” approval of the merger agreement and “FOR” approval of one or more adjournments of the special meeting.

How does the TFB board of directors recommend that I vote?

The TFB Board recommends that TFB shareholders vote “FOR” the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, including in favor of the merger agreement.

What do I need to do now?

We encourage you to read this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety. Important information is presented in greater detail elsewhere in this document, and documents governing the merger are attached as appendices to this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, much of the business and financial information about Glacier that may be important to you is incorporated by reference into this document from documents separately filed by Glacier with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This means that important disclosure obligations to you are satisfied by referring you to one or more documents separately filed with the SEC.

Following review of this proxy statement/prospectus, please complete, sign, and date the enclosed proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope as soon as possible so that your shares of TFB common stock can be voted at TFB’s special meeting of shareholders.

If my shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, will my broker or nominee vote my shares for me?

No. If your shares are held in “street name” in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. Please follow the voting instructions provided by your bank or broker. Please note that you may not vote shares held in street name by returning a proxy card directly to TFB or by voting in person at the shareholder meeting unless you provide a “legal proxy,” which you must obtain from your broker, bank or other nominee.

Brokers, banks and other nominees are not allowed to exercise their voting discretion on matters that are determined to be “non-routine” without specific instructions from you as the beneficial owner. If you are a TFB shareholder who owns shares in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or

other nominee on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares on the proposal to approve the merger agreement, which will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

Should I send in my common stock certificates now?

No . Please do not send your TFB common stock certificates with your proxy card. You will receive written instructions from Glacier’s exchange agent promptly following the closing of the merger on how to exchange your TFB common stock certificates for the merger consideration.

What risks should I consider?

You should review carefully our discussion under “Risk Factors.” You should also review the factors considered by the TFB Board in approving the merger agreement. See “Background of and Reasons for the Merger.”

What are the tax consequences of the merger to me?

Glacier and TFB expect to report the merger of TFB with and into Glacier as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code). 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 that the merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a).

In a tax-free reorganization, a shareholder who exchanges the shareholder’s shares of common stock in an acquired company for shares of common stock in an acquiring company, plus cash, must generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount of gain realized (i.e., the excess of the sum of the fair market value of the shares of acquiring company common stock(including any fractional shares) and cash received pursuant to the merger (excluding any cash received in lieu of fractional shares) over the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shareholder’s shares of acquired company common stock surrendered pursuant to the merger), or (2) the amount of cash (excluding any cash received in lieu of fractional shares) received pursuant to the merger.

For a detailed discussion of the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger, see “The Merger – Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger.”

We urge you to consult your tax advisor to fully understand the tax consequences to you of the merger. Tax matters are very complicated and in many cases the tax consequences of the merger will depend upon your particular facts and circumstances.

Do I have dissenters’ rights?

Yes. TFB shareholders are entitled to dissenters’ rights under Sections 10-1301 to 10-1331 of the Arizona Business Corporation Act. If you do not vote in favor of the merger agreement and take certain other actions required by Arizona law to exercise these rights, you will be entitled to have your shares of TFB common stock purchased at “fair value,” as determined in accordance with Arizona law. Please read the section entitled “The Merger – Dissenter’s Rights” for additional information.

TFB Bancorp, Inc.

11689 S. Foothills Blvd.

Yuma, Arizona 85367

(928) 305-0905

TFB, headquartered in Yuma, Arizona, is an Arizona corporation formed in 2013 for the purpose of acquiring the stock of Foothills Bank and becoming the holding company for Foothills Bank. TFB has no substantial operations separate or apart from Foothills Bank. Foothills Bank is an Arizona state-chartered bank which commenced operations in 1997 and is headquartered in Yuma, Arizona. In addition to its principal office, Foothills Bank maintains three branch offices in Yuma, Pinal and Yavapai Counties in Arizona, a loan production office in Prescott, Arizona, and an operations center in Yuma, Arizona formerly used as a branch office.

As of September 30, 2016, TFB had total assets of approximately $316 million, gross loans receivable of approximately $257 million, total deposits of approximately $265 million and approximately $42 million in shareholders’ equity.

For additional information, see “ Information Concerning TFB” below.

The Merger

The merger agreement provides for the merger of TFB with and into Glacier, and immediately thereafter, the merger of Foothills Bank with and into Glacier Bank. In the merger, your shares of TFB 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. Assuming the exchange of all outstanding TFB common stock for stock and cash in accordance with the merger agreement, TFB shareholders will own approximately 1.6% of Glacier’s outstanding common stock following the merger. After the merger, you will no longer own shares of TFB. For additional information, see the discussion under the heading “The Merger” below.

The merger agreement is attached as Appendix 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 cash for all shares of TFB common stock outstanding as of the date of the closing of the merger. Each outstanding share of TFB will be exchanged for a “unit” comprised of Glacier common stock and cash, as follows:

•

Stock Portion : 0.607387 Glacier shares, subject to adjustment as follows: If the average closing price of Glacier stock calculated in accordance with the merger agreement exceeds $32.52, Glacier may elect to terminate the merger agreement, unless TFB elects to accept a decrease in the number of Glacier shares to be issued on a per-share basis, in order to avoid termination of the merger agreement. Conversely, if the average closing price is (i) below $24.04 but not less than $22.62 and the price of Glacier common stock has underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%, or (ii) below $22.62, TFB may elect to terminate the merger agreement, unless Glacier elects to increase the number of shares to be issued or amount of cash to be paid on a per-share basis, in order to avoid termination of the merger 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 : $7.36152 in cash, subject to adjustment as follows: If “TFB Closing Capital” as determined in accordance with the merger agreement is less than the minimum required, which is $35,160,000 as of the date hereof (subject to adjustment), the cash portion of each unit will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the amount of such deficit. If “TFB Closing Capital” is in excess of the minimum, the cash portion of the merger consideration will be increased by the pro rata amount of such excess, or alternatively, TFB may in its discretion declare and pay a special dividend in the amount of such excess. “TFB 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 TFB’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, and calculated in the same manner in which TFB’s consolidated tangible equity capital at March 31, 2016 was calculated, after giving effect to adjustments, calculated in accordance with GAAP, for accumulated other

comprehensive income or loss as reported in TFB’s balance sheet. TFB’s Closing Capital is subject to downward adjustment if transaction related expenses exceed certain thresholds described in the merger agreement.

The threshold of TFB Closing Capital is subject to adjustments relating to transaction-related expenses and capital attributable to the exercise of outstanding TFB stock options, if any. See “The Merger – Merger Consideration – Cash Portion of Merger Consideration” below.

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 TFB 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 TFB Board of Directors

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

For further discussion of TFB’s reasons for the merger and the recommendations of the TFB Board, see “Background of and Reasons for the Merger – Recommendation of the TFB Board of Directors.”

Opinion of TFB’s Financial Advisor

In connection with the merger, TFB’s financial advisor, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”), delivered a written opinion, dated November 15, 2016, to the TFB board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to the holders of TFB 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 KBW in preparing the opinion, is attached as Appendix C to this document. The opinion was for the information of, and was directed to, the TFB board of directors (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 TFB to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement or constitute a recommendation to the TFB board of directors in connection with the merger, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of TFB 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 TFB’s Financial Advisor.”

Interests of TFB Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

When you consider the unanimous recommendation of the TFB Board that TFB’s shareholders approve the merger agreement, you should be aware that certain members of TFB management have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, their interests as TFB shareholders. These interests arise out of, among other things, voting and non-competition agreements entered into by directors of TFB; employment agreements entered by certain Foothills Bank executive officers, rights to certain payments upon the closing of the merger as reflected in a closing payments agreement between Ms. Mary Lynn D. Lenz, President and CEO of Foothills Bank and TFB, and TFB, and provisions in the merger agreement relating to indemnification of TFB directors. For a description of the interests of TFB’s directors and executive officers in the merger, see “The Merger – Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger.”

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

TFB Shareholders Dissenters’ Rights

Under Arizona law, TFB shareholders have the right to dissent from the merger and receive cash for the “fair value” of their shares of TFB common stock. A shareholder electing to dissent must strictly comply with all the procedures required by the Arizona statutes. These procedures are described later in this document, and a copy of the relevant statutory provisions is attached as Appendix B . For more information on dissenters rights, see “The Merger – Dissenters’ Rights.”

Regulatory Matters

Each of Glacier and TFB has agreed to use its 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 from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Commissioner of the Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions and the Arizona Division of Financial 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 TFB expect to complete the merger during the first quarter of 2017. 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 TFB 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.”

Termination of the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement provides that either Glacier or TFB may terminate the merger agreement either before or after the TFB 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 the non-breaching party a termination fee of $400,000. See “The Merger – Termination Fees.”

Break-Up Fee

The merger agreement provides that TFB must pay Glacier a break-up fee of $2,500,000 if the merger agreement is terminated (i) by Glacier if the TFB Board fails to recommend approval of the merger agreement by TFB’s shareholders or modifies, withdraws or adversely changes its recommendation, or (ii) by the TFB Board due to its determination that an acquisition proposal received by TFB constitutes a “superior proposal,” as defined in the merger agreement, which is acted upon by

TFB, or (iii) by Glacier because an acquisition event with respect to TFB has occurred. In addition, a break-up fee of $2,500,000 will be due if (1) Glacier terminates the merger agreement due to a failure of TFB’s shareholders to approve the merger agreement following a third party proposal to engage in, or enter into an agreement with respect to, an acquisition event, and (2) prior to one year after such termination, TFB or Foothills Bank enters into an agreement, or publicly announces its intention to engage in an acquisition event or within 12 months such an acquisition event will have occurred.

TFB agreed to pay the break-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 TFB. See “The Merger – Break-up Fee.”

TFB Shareholders’ Rights After the Merger

The rights of TFB shareholders are governed by Arizona law, as well as by TFB’s amended and restated articles of incorporation (“TFB’s articles”) and amended and restated bylaws (“TFB’s bylaws”). After completion of the merger, the rights of the former TFB shareholders receiving Glacier common stock in the merger will be governed by Montana law and 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 TFB’s articles and TFB’s bylaws, there are some substantive and procedural differences that will affect the rights of TFB shareholders. See “Comparison of Certain Rights of Holders of Glacier and TFB 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 TFB 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 would 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 TFB 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 TFB. 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 TFB common stock in the merger may be decreased or increased, as the case may be, if the average trading price of Glacier common stock, determined pursuant to the merger agreement, is greater than or less than specified prices. If Glacier’s average trading price determined in accordance with the merger agreement is greater than $32.52 and Glacier elects to terminate the merger agreement, the TFB Board would make the decision, without resoliciting the vote of TFB shareholders, whether or not to elect to accept a decrease on a per-share basis in the number of Glacier shares to be issued in the merger, to avoid such termination. See “The Merger – Termination of the Merger Agreement.” On December 14, 2016, the closing price of Glacier common stock was above $32.52.

The merger agreement limits TFB’s ability to pursue other transactions and provides for the payment of a break-up fee if TFB does so.

While the merger agreement is in effect, subject to very narrow exceptions, TFB and its directors, officers and agents are prohibited from initiating or encouraging inquiries with respect to alternative acquisition proposals. The prohibition limits TFB’s ability to seek offers from other potential acquirers that may be superior from a financial point of view to the proposed transaction. If TFB 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, TFB will be required to pay a $2,500,000 break-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 TFB to pay a termination fee.

Under certain circumstances (generally involving TFB’s breach of its representations and covenants in the merger agreement), Glacier can terminate the merger agreement and require TFB to pay a termination fee of $400,000. See “The Merger – Termination Fees.”

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

Glacier and TFB have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. Although Glacier has successfully completed a number of mergers in the recent past, it is possible that the integration of TFB into Glacier Bank could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of the ongoing business of TFB 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 TFB.

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

Glacier believes that it has reasonably estimated the likely costs of integrating the operations of TFB 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 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 TFB Common Stock” for a description of Glacier’s potential takeover provisions.

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

Upon completion of the merger, TFB shareholders will become GBCI shareholders. Differences in TFB’s articles and TFB’s bylaws and Glacier’s articles and Glacier’s bylaws will result in changes to the rights of TFB shareholders who become Glacier shareholders. See “Comparison of Certain Rights of Holders of Glacier and TFB 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 Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as updated by a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 and subsequent Current Reports on Form 8-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-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 TFB’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 TFB operate;

•

TFB’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.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in Glacier’s reports filed with the SEC.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed transaction or other matters attributable to Glacier or TFB or any person acting on behalf of Glacier or TFB are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Neither Glacier nor TFB undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the table above contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Glacier believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with information useful in understanding Glacier’s financial performance, performance trends, and financial position. While Glacier uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of Glacier’s performance, this information should not be considered an alternative to measurements required by GAAP.

The reconciling item between the GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures was the third quarter of 2011 goodwill impairment charge (net of tax) of $32.6 million.

•

The goodwill impairment charge was $40.2 million with a tax benefit of $7.6 million which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge (net of tax) of $32.6 million. The tax benefit applied only to the $19.4 million of goodwill associated with taxable acquisitions and was determined based on Glacier’s marginal income tax rate of 38.9%.

•

The basic and diluted earnings per share reconciling items were determined based on the goodwill impairment charge (net of tax) divided by the weighted average diluted shares of 71,915,073.

•

The goodwill impairment charge (net of tax) was included in determining earnings for both the GAAP return on average assets and GAAP return on average equity. The average assets used in the GAAP and non-GAAP return on average assets ratios were $6.9 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011. The average equity used in the GAAP and non-GAAP return on average equity ratios were $858 million and $866 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

•

The dividend payout ratio is calculated by dividing dividends declared per share by basic earnings per share. The non-GAAP dividend payout ratio uses the non-GAAP basic earnings per share for calculating the ratio.

TFB SPECIAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

Date, Time, Place

The TFB special meeting of shareholders will be held on Thursday, January 26, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time, at 11689 S. Foothills Blvd., Yuma, Arizona 85367.

As described below under “Vote Required and Quorum,” approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the shares of TFB’s outstanding common stock. The proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to solicit additional proxies, will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes cast against the proposal, assuming a quorum is present. If less than a quorum is represented at the special meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the special meeting.

Purpose

At the special meeting, TFB shareholders will:

•

Consider and vote on a proposal to approve the Plan and Agreement of Merger, dated as of November 15, 2016, among Glacier, Glacier Bank, TFB and Foothills Bank, under the terms of which TFB will merge with and into Glacier and Foothills Bank will merge with and into Glacier Bank. The merger agreement is attached as Appendix A .

•

Approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to solicit additional proxies in favor of the merger agreement.

Record Date; Shares Outstanding and Entitled to Vote

The TFB Board has fixed 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on December 14, 2016 as the record date for determining the holders of shares of TFB common stock entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. At the close of business on the record date, there were approximately 307 holders of record and 2,311,349 shares of TFB common stock issued and outstanding. The number of TFB shares of common stock issued and outstanding includes 73,372 shares of unvested restricted stock which do not have voting rights. Holders of record of TFB common stock (except for unvested restricted shares) on the record date are entitled to one vote per share and are also entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights if certain procedures are followed. See “The Merger – Dissenters’ Rights” and Appendix B .

TFB’s directors and certain related shareholders have agreed to vote all shares of TFB common stock they are entitled to vote that are held or controlled by them in favor of approval of the merger agreement. A total of 998,738 shares of TFB common stock (which number excludes unvested restricted shares and all vested and unvested stock options), representing approximately 43.21% of all outstanding shares of TFB common stock, are covered by the voting agreements. See “The Merger – Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger – Voting Agreements.”

Vote Required and Quorum

The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of TFB’s outstanding common stock is required to approve the merger agreement. At least a majority of the total outstanding shares of TFB common stock must be present, either in person or by proxy, in order to constitute a quorum for the special meeting. For purposes of determining a quorum, abstentions and broker nonvotes (that is, proxies from brokers or nominees, indicating that such person has not received instructions from

the beneficial owners or other persons entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to which the broker or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) are counted in determining the shares present at a meeting.

For voting purposes, however, only shares actually voted for the approval of the merger agreement, and neither abstentions nor broker nonvotes, will be counted as favorable votes in determining whether or not the merger agreement is approved by the holders of TFB common stock. As a result, abstentions and broker nonvotes will have the same effect as votes against approval of the merger agreement.

The proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, including adjournments to solicit additional proxies in favor of the merger agreement, will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the proposal exceed the votes against the proposal, assuming a quorum is present. If less than a quorum is represented at the special meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the special meeting.

Voting, Solicitation, and Revocation of Proxies

If the enclosed proxy card is duly executed and received in time for the special meeting, it will be voted in accordance with the instructions given. If the proxy card is duly executed and received but no instructions are given, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote the shares represented by the proxy for the approval of the merger agreement, for the proposal to approve one or more adjournments to solicit additional proxies, and in the proxy holder’s discretion on any other matter properly coming before the meeting. Any proxy given by a shareholder may be revoked before its exercise by:

•

sending written notice to the Secretary of TFB;

•

completing and submitting a later-dated proxy; or

•

attending and voting at the special meeting in person.

TFB is soliciting the proxy for the special meeting on behalf of the TFB Board. TFB will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies from its shareholders. In addition to using the mail, TFB may solicit proxies by personal interview, telephone, and facsimile. Banks, brokerage houses, other institutions, nominees, and fiduciaries will be requested to forward their proxy soliciting material to their principals and obtain authorization for the execution of proxies. TFB does not expect to pay any compensation for the solicitation of proxies. However, TFB will, upon request, pay the standard charges and expenses of banks, brokerage houses, other institutions, nominees, and fiduciaries for forwarding proxy materials to and obtaining proxies from their principals.

Voting in Person at the Special Meeting

Shareholders of Record . Shares held directly in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the special meeting. If you choose to vote your shares of TFB common stock in person, please bring the enclosed proxy card or proof of identification. Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares of TFB common stock in advance as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the special meeting.

Beneficial Owner . Shares held in street name may be voted in person by you only if you bring an account statement or letter from the nominee indicating that you were the beneficial owner of the shares on the record date.

BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE MERGER

Background of the Merger

From time to time over the past several years, the board of directors of TFB discussed and considered strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value and achieve future shareholder liquidity. With the assistance of TFB’s financial advisor, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”), the board of directors of TFB identified Glacier, among other entities, as a potential future merger partner in view of Glacier’s successful track record with other acquisitions, its emphasis on locally managed community banking, its historical pursuit of similar sized banks as TFB, and its strong financial performance.

In June of 2016, TFB directed KBW to contact parties that would possibly have an interest in a potential transaction with TFB. At TFB’s direction, KBW contacted four parties, including Glacier, and TFB entered into a non-disclosure agreement with three of the parties. The parties other than Glacier that were contacted will be defined as Party B, Party C and Party D. Party B did not sign a confidentiality agreement as it was not interested in exploring a potential transaction with TFB after hearing about the opportunity on a no-names basis. Parties C and D signed confidentiality agreements but neither submitted an indication of interest.

On June 24, 2016, Glacier and its advisors were granted access to a virtual dataroom that contained non-public financial and operational information.

On June 27, 2016, Michael J. Blodnick, President and CEO of Glacier, Mary Lynn D. Lenz, President and CEO of TFB, as well as representatives from KBW, met in San Francisco, California to become acquainted and to discuss each organization’s approach to community banking. After the meeting, the parties committed to continue to explore a potential transaction.

On July 12, 2016, representatives from Glacier, Glacier’s financial advisor D.A. Davidson & Co. (“Davidson”), TFB and KBW held a telephonic meeting to discuss the TFB documents that had been uploaded into the virtual dataroom. Through July 18, 2016, TFB provided Glacier with supplemental information regarding the financial aspects of its business, its markets and its operations.

On July 18, 2016, Davidson, on behalf of Glacier, delivered a nonbinding term sheet setting forth the proposed terms of the merger, including the principal financial terms. Between July 18 and August 5, 2016, the parties, with the assistance of their respective legal counsel and financial advisors, negotiated several aspects of the term sheet, both financial and non-financial, and on August 5, 2016, TFB delivered a signed term sheet back to Glacier.

Between August 5 and November 15, 2016, Glacier and TFB conducted appropriate due diligence and, with the assistance of their respective legal counsel and financial advisors, negotiated the merger agreement and related ancillary agreements. Glacier’s due diligence review included an extensive loan due diligence review conducted by DLS Consulting and supported by Glacier’s Chief Credit Officer. Randy Chesler, Glacier Bank’s President, along with a representative from Davidson, was accompanied on a diligence trip by Ms. Lenz to review the branches of TFB and the markets it operates in on August 24 and 25, 2016. Mr. Chesler, along with a representative from Davidson, met with Ms. Lenz and other representatives of TFB management in Yuma, Arizona to discuss the transaction.

On September 29, 2016, Davidson made a presentation to the Glacier board of directors to discuss the potential transaction, the pro forma financial impact to Glacier, and the markets in which TFB operates.

On November 15, 2016, the board of directors of TFB, together with TFB’s legal counsel and representatives of KBW, met to consider the merger agreement. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger and rendered to the TFB board of directors an opinion to the effect that, as of that date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW as set forth in such opinion, the merger consideration in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of TFB common stock. Among other matters considered, the board of directors of TFB reviewed the specific terms of the merger agreement, the form and value of the consideration to be received by TFB shareholders, the price and historical performance of Glacier common stock, current market conditions including comparable bank merger and acquisition transactions, and the implications of the merger to TFB’s employees, customers, and communities . After due consideration of these and other matters, the board of directors of TFB approved entering into the merger agreement.

On October 26 and November 15, 2016, the board of directors of Glacier, together with its legal counsel and representatives of Davidson, met to consider approval of the merger agreement. Davidson presented updated pro forma financial analyses and Glacier’s legal counsel presented a review of the key terms of the merger agreement and related ancillary agreements. Among other matters discussed, the board of directors and Glacier’s advisors discussed the results of due diligence reviews, the terms of the merger agreement and related ancillary agreements, key pricing metrics, the pro forma financial impact of the merger to Glacier’s shareholders, risks of the merger, and the timing and process for consummation of the merger, including the results of preliminary discussions with bank regulators. After due consideration of these and other matters, the board of directors of Glacier approved the merger agreement on November 15, 2016.

Later in the day on November 15, 2016, the parties executed the merger agreement and related ancillary agreements . After the close of business on November 15, 2016, the parties issued a joint press release announcing the merger.

Reasons For The Merger – TFB

At the board meeting held on November 15, 2016, the TFB board of directors determined that the terms of the merger agreement were in the best interests of TFB and its shareholders. In the course of reaching the decision to approve the merger agreement, the TFB board of directors evaluated the merger and the merger agreement in consultation with the management of TFB and TFB’s financial advisor and legal counsel. In reaching its determination, the TFB board of directors considered a number of factors. Such factors also constituted the reasons that the board of directors determined to approve the merger agreement and to recommend that TFB 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 TFB shareholders in the merger;

•

the historical trading ranges for Glacier common stock;

•

the historic and prospective business of TFB;

•

the likely impact of the merger on the employees and customers of TFB;

•

the future employment opportunities for the existing employees of TFB;

•

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 November 15, 2016, of KBW to the TFB board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of the opinion, to the holders of TFB common stock of the merger consideration in the proposed merger, as more fully described below under “Opinion of TFB’s Financial Advisor”;

•

the expectation that TFB 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 TFB’s stock is illiquid;

•

the provisions in the merger agreement that provide for the ability of the TFB board of directors to respond to an unsolicited acquisition proposal that the board of directors determines in good faith is a superior proposal as defined in the merger agreement;

•

the provisions of the merger agreement that provide for the ability of the TFB board of directors to terminate the merger agreement, subject to certain conditions including the payment of a break-up fee, if TFB has entered into a letter of intent or other agreement with respect to a superior proposal; and

•

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

The TFB board of directors 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 TFB shareholders at the time of completion of the merger subject to the adjustment procedures described under “The Merger —Termination of the Merger Agreement”;

•

that TFB 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 TFB’s business that may result from the announcement of the merger and the resulting distraction of management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of TFB’s business; and

•

the restrictions contained in the merger agreement on the operation of TFB’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 TFB contained in the merger agreement.

The foregoing discussion of the reasons that led the TFB board of directors to approve the merger agreement and recommend that TFB’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 board of directors’ decision. In reaching its determination to approve and recommend the transaction, the TFB board of directors 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 TFB board of directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and the merger with Glacier as being in the best interests of TFB and its shareholders.

Opinion of TFB’s Financial Advisor

TFB engaged Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW”) to render financial advisory and investment banking services to TFB, including an opinion to the TFB board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of TFB common stock of the merger consideration to be received by such shareholders in the proposed merger of TFB with and into Glacier. TFB selected KBW because KBW is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of financial services businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

As part of its engagement, representatives of KBW attended the meeting of the TFB board held on November 15, 2016, at which the TFB board evaluated the proposed merger. At this meeting, KBW reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed merger and rendered to the TFB board an opinion to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW as set forth in its opinion, the merger consideration in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of TFB common stock. The TFB board approved the merger agreement at this meeting.

The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion, which is attached as Appendix C to this document and is incorporated herein by reference, and describes the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, and qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken by KBW in preparing the opinion.

KBW’s opinion speaks only as of the date of the opinion. The opinion was for the information of, and was directed to, the TFB board (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the merger. The opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration in the merger to the holders of TFB common stock. It did not address the underlying business decision of TFB to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement or constitute a recommendation to the TFB board in connection with the merger, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any holder of TFB common stock or any shareholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the merger or any other matter, nor does it constitute a recommendation regarding whether or not any such shareholder should enter into a voting, shareholders’ or affiliates’ agreement with respect to the merger or exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights that may be available to such shareholder.

KBW’s opinion was reviewed and approved by KBW’s Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with its policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 5150 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

In connection with the opinion, KBW reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of TFB and Glacier and bearing upon the merger, including, among other things:

•

a draft of the merger agreement dated November 8, 2016 (the most recent draft then made available to KBW);

•

the audited financial statements for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 of TFB;

•

the unaudited quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 of TFB;

•

the audited financial statements and the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 of Glacier;

•

the unaudited quarterly financial statements and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 of Glacier;

•

certain regulatory filings of TFB, Foothills Bank, Glacier and Glacier Bank, including (as applicable) the semi-annual reports on Form FR Y-9SP and quarterly reports on Form FR Y-9C and quarterly call reports required to be filed with respect to each semi-annual period and quarter (as the case may be) during the three year period ended December 31, 2015, the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the semi-annual period and quarter ended June 30, 2016 and the quarter ended September 30, 2016;

•

certain other interim reports and other communications of TFB and Glacier to their respective shareholders; and

•

other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of TFB and Glacier that was furnished to KBW by TFB and Glacier or which KBW was otherwise directed to use for purposes of KBW’s analyses.

KBW’s consideration of financial information and other factors that it deemed appropriate under the circumstances or relevant to its analyses included, among others, the following:

•

the historical and current financial position and results of operations of TFB and Glacier;

•

the assets and liabilities of TFB and Glacier;

•

the nature and terms of certain other merger transactions and business combinations in the banking industry;

•

a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for TFB and Glacier with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which were publicly traded;

•

financial and operating forecasts and projections of TFB that were prepared by, and provided to KBW and discussed with KBW by, TFB management and that were used and relied upon by KBW at the direction of such management and with the consent of the TFB board;

•

publicly available consensus “street estimates” of Glacier for 2016 through 2018, as well as assumed long-term Glacier growth rates provided to KBW by Glacier management, all of which information was discussed with KBW by such management and used and relied upon by KBW based on such discussions, at the direction of TFB management and with the consent of the TFB board; and

•

estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the merger on Glacier (including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the merger) that were prepared by, and provided to and discussed with KBW by, the management of Glacier, and used and relied upon by KBW based on such discussions, at the direction of TFB management and with the consent of the TFB board.

KBW also performed such other studies and analyses as it considered appropriate and took into account its assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and its experience in other transactions, as well as its experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. KBW also participated in discussions that were held with the respective managements of TFB and Glacier regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as KBW deemed relevant to its inquiry. In addition, KBW considered the results of the efforts undertaken by or on behalf of TFB, with KBW’s assistance, to solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction with TFB.

In conducting its review and arriving at its opinion, KBW relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to it or that was publicly available and did not independently verify the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assume any responsibility or liability for such verification, accuracy or completeness. KBW relied upon the management of TFB as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of TFB (and the assumptions and bases therefor) that were prepared by, and provided to KBW and discussed with KBW by, such management and KBW assumed that such forecasts and projections were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such management and that such forecasts and projections would be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated by such management. KBW further relied, with the consent of TFB, upon Glacier management as to the reasonableness and achievability of the publicly available consensus “street estimates” of Glacier (and the assumed Glacier long term growth rates provided to KBW by such management) referred to above, as well as the estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the merger on Glacier (and the assumptions and bases therefor, including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the merger) referred to above, and KBW assumed that all such information was reasonably prepared on bases reflecting, or in the case of the Glacier “street estimates” referred to above that such estimates were consistent with, the best currently available estimates and judgments of Glacier management and that the forecasts, projections and estimates reflected in such information would be realized in the amounts and in the time periods estimated.

It is understood that the portion of the foregoing financial information of TFB and Glacier that was provided to KBW was not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure, that all of the foregoing financial information, including the publicly available consensus “street estimates” of Glacier referred to above that KBW was directed to use, was based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions and that, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such information. KBW assumed, based on discussions with the respective managements of TFB and Glacier and with the consent of the TFB board, that all such information provided a reasonable basis upon which KBW could form its opinion and KBW expressed no view as to any such information or the assumptions or bases therefor. KBW relied on all such information without independent verification or analysis and did not in any respect assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

KBW also assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of either TFB or Glacier since the date of the last financial statements of each such entity that were made available to KBW. KBW is not an expert in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and KBW assumed, without independent verification and with TFB’s consent, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease

losses for TFB and Glacier are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering its opinion, KBW did not make or obtain any evaluations or appraisals or physical inspection of the property, assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of TFB or Glacier, the collateral securing any of such assets or liabilities, or the collectability of any such assets, nor did KBW examine any individual loan or credit files, nor did it evaluate the solvency, financial capability or fair value of TFB or Glacier under any state or federal laws, including those relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other matters. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, KBW assumed no responsibility or liability for their accuracy.

KBW assumed, in all respects material to its analyses:

•

that the merger and any related transactions (including the bank subsidiary merger) would be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the merger agreement (the final terms of which KBW assumed would not differ in any respect material to KBW’s analyses from the draft reviewed by KBW referred to above) with no adjustments to the merger consideration (other than as reflected in its analyses) and no additional payments in respect of the TFB common stock;

•

that the representations and warranties of each party in the merger agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the merger agreement were true and correct;

•

that each party to the merger agreement and all related documents would perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents;

•

that there were no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions, any necessary regulatory or governmental approval for the merger or any related transaction (including the subsidiary bank merger) and that all conditions to the completion of the merger and any related transaction would be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the merger agreement or any of the related documents; and

•

that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the merger and any related transaction (including the subsidiary bank merger), no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, would be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of TFB, Glacier or the pro forma entity, or the contemplated benefits of the merger, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the merger.

KBW assumed that the merger would be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations. KBW was further advised by representatives of TFB that TFB relied upon advice from its advisors (other than KBW) or other appropriate sources as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to TFB, Glacier, the merger and any related transaction (including the subsidiary bank merger), and the merger agreement. KBW did not provide advice with respect to any such matters.

KBW’s opinion addressed only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date of the opinion, to the holders of TFB common stock of the merger consideration to be received by such holders in the merger. KBW expressed no view or opinion as to any other terms or aspects of the merger or any term or aspect of any related transaction (including the subsidiary bank merger), including without

limitation, the form or structure of the merger (including the form of the merger consideration or the allocation thereof between cash and stock) or any related transaction, any consequences of the merger or any related transaction to TFB, its shareholders, creditors or otherwise, or any terms, aspects, merits or implications of any employment, consulting, voting, support, shareholder or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the merger or otherwise. KBW’s opinion was necessarily based upon conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on the date of such opinion and the information made available to KBW through such date. Developments subsequent to the date of KBW’s opinion may have affected, and may affect, the conclusion reached in KBW’s opinion and KBW did not and does not have an obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion. KBW’s opinion did not address, and KBW expressed no view or opinion with respect to:

•

the underlying business decision of TFB to engage in the merger or enter into the merger agreement;

•

the relative merits of the merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that are, have been or may be available to or contemplated by TFB or the TFB board;

•

the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any of TFB’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the holders of TFB common stock;

•

the effect of the merger or any related transaction on, or the fairness of the consideration to be received by, holders of any class of securities of TFB (other than the holders of TFB common stock, solely with respect to the merger consideration as described in KBW’s opinion and not relative to the consideration to be received by holders of any other class of securities) or holders of any class of securities of Glacier or any other party to any transaction contemplated by the merger agreement;

•

whether Glacier has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of funds to enable it to pay the aggregate amount of the per share cash consideration to the holders of TFB common stock at the closing of the merger;

•

whether TFB will have the ability to pay any special dividend to holders of TFB common stock in accordance with the merger agreement, or the merits of any such dividend payment (including relative to any alternatives that may be available to TFB);

•

the actual value of Glacier common stock to be issued in the merger;

•

the prices, trading range or volume at which Glacier common stock would trade following the public announcement of the merger or the consummation of the merger;

•

any advice or opinions provided by any other advisor to any of the parties to the merger or any other transaction contemplated by the merger agreement; or

•

any legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or similar matters relating to TFB, Glacier, their respective shareholders, or relating to or arising out of or as a consequence of the merger or any related transaction (including the subsidiary bank merger), including whether or not the merger would qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes.

In performing its analyses, KBW made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond the control of KBW, TFB and Glacier. Any estimates contained in the analyses performed by KBW are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Additionally, estimates of the value of businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which such businesses or securities might actually be sold. Accordingly, these analyses and estimates are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. In addition, the KBW opinion was among several factors taken into consideration by the TFB board in making its determination to approve the merger agreement and the merger. Consequently, the

analyses described below should not be viewed as determinative of the decision of the TFB board with respect to the fairness of the merger consideration. The type and amount of consideration payable in the merger were determined through negotiation between TFB and Glacier and the decision of TFB to enter into the merger agreement was solely that of the TFB board.

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by KBW to the TFB board in connection with its opinion. The summary is not a complete description of the financial analyses underlying the opinion or the presentation made by KBW to the TFB board, but summarizes the material analyses performed and presented in connection with such opinion. The financial analyses summarized below includes information presented in tabular format. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytic process involving various determinations as to appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Therefore, a fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In arriving at its opinion, KBW did not attribute any particular weight to any analysis or factor that it considered, but rather made qualitative judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor. Accordingly, KBW believes that its analyses and the summary of its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and factors or focusing on the information presented below in tabular format, without considering all analyses and factors or the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying its analyses and opinion.

For purposes of the financial analyses described below, KBW utilized an implied value of the merger consideration of $27.11 per share of TFB common stock, consisting of the sum of (i) the implied value of the stock consideration based on the closing price of Glacier common stock on November 14, 2016 (which stock consideration was adjusted to 0.595844 of a share of Glacier common stock to reflect an implied collar adjustment based on the closing price of Glacier common stock on November 14, 2016), and (ii) the cash consideration.

TFB Comparable Companies Analyses . Using publicly available information, KBW compared the financial performance, financial condition and market performance of TFB to 21 selected U.S. banks which were publicly traded and headquartered in Arizona or California and which had total assets between $250 million and $650 million and core return on average assets greater than 75 basis points. Savings banks and thrifts, ethnic-focused banks and targets of publicly announced merger transactions were excluded from the selected companies.

The selected companies were as follows:


AltaPacific Bancorp		Pinnacle Bank
American Riviera Bank		Private Bancorp of America, Inc.
Bank of Southern California, NA		Redwood Capital Bancorp
Capital Bank		River Valley Community Bank

CommerceWest Bank		Seacoast Commerce Banc Holdings
Communities First Financial Corporation		State Bank Corp.
Mission Bancorp		Summit State Bank
Mission Valley Bancorp		Suncrest Bank

To perform this analysis, KBW used profitability and other financial information for, as of, or, in the case of latest 12 months (“LTM”) information, through, the most recent completed quarter (“MRQ”) available (which in the case of TFB was the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2016) and market price information as of November 14, 2016. Where consolidated holding company level financial data for the selected companies was unreported, subsidiary bank level data was utilized to calculate ratios. Certain financial data prepared by KBW, and as referenced in the tables presented below, may not correspond to the data presented in TFB’s historical financial statements as a result of the different periods, assumptions and methods used by KBW to compute the financial data presented.

Comparable M&A Transactions Analysis. KBW reviewed publicly available information related to 10 selected whole bank and thrift transactions announced since January 1, 2011 with acquired companies headquartered in the Western Region (defined as Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming) and which had assets between $250 million and $650 million, LTM return on average assets greater than 50 basis points and nonperforming assets to total assets between 50 and 200 basis points. Terminated transactions were excluded from the selected transactions.

The selected transactions were as follows:


Acquiror		Acquired Company

CVB Financial Corp.		Valley Commerce Bancorp
RBB Bancorp		TFC Holding Company
Heartland Financial USA, Inc.		Premier Valley Bank
Pacific Continential Corporation		Capital Pacific Bancorp
Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc.		Independence Bank
SKBHC Holdings LLC		Greater Sacramento Bancorp
Bank of Marin Bancorp		NorCal Community Bancorp
Glacier Bancorp, Inc.		North Cascades Bancshares, Inc.
Umpqua Holdings Corporation		Circle Bancorp
PacWest Bancorp		American Perspective Bank

For each selected transaction, KBW derived the following implied transaction statistics, in each case based on the transaction consideration value paid for the acquired company and using financial data based on the acquired company’s then latest publicly available financial statements:

•

Price per common share to LTM EPS of the acquired company (in the case of selected transactions involving a private acquired company, this transaction statistic was calculated as total transaction consideration divided by LTM earnings);

•

Price per common share to book value per share of the acquired company (in the case of selected transactions involving a private acquired company, this transaction statistic was calculated as total transaction consideration divided by total common equity);

•

Price per common share to tangible book value per share of the acquired company (in the case of selected transactions involving a private acquired company, this transaction statistic was calculated as total transaction consideration divided by total tangible common equity);

•

Total transaction consideration to deposits of the acquired company; and

•

Tangible equity premium to core deposits (total deposits less time deposits greater than $100,000) of the acquired company, referred to as core deposit premium.

KBW also reviewed the price per common share paid for the acquired company for the seven selected transactions in which the acquired company was publicly traded as a premium to the closing price of the acquired company one day prior to the announcement of the acquisition (expressed as a percentage and referred to as the one-day market premium) and as a premium to the average closing price of the acquired company for the one-month period ending one day prior to the announcement of the acquisition (expressed as a percentage and referred to as the one-month market premium). The above transaction statistics for the selected transactions were compared with the corresponding transaction statistics for the proposed merger based on the implied value of the merger consideration of $27.11 per share of TFB common stock and, including TFB’s special dividend as of September 30, 2016, $27.90 per share of TFB common stock and using historical financial information for TFB as of September 30, 2016 and for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2016 and market price information of TFB as of November 14, 2016.

The results of the analysis are set forth in the following table:


	Glacier / TFB						Selected Transactions
	$27.11 Per Share			$27.90 Per Share ⁽¹⁾			25th Percentile			Average			Median			75th Percentile
Transaction Value / LTM earnings		17.2	x		17.7	x		11.8	x		15.6	x		15.6	x		20.3	x
Transaction Value / Tangible Book Value		1.69	x		1.83	x		1.34	x		1.47	x		1.47	x		1.59	x
Transaction Value / Deposits		23.8	%		24.4	%		14.6	%		17.0	%		16.4	%		20.4	%
Core Deposit Premium		10.5	%		12.0	%		5.0	%		7.3	%		7.4	%		9.1	%
One-Day Market Premium		65.3	%		70.1	%		10.0	%		30.5	%		26.0	%		44.0	%
One-Month Market Premium		66.3	%		71.2	%		15.6	%		35.1	%		29.7	%		51.2	%

(1)	Includes TFB’s special dividend payment of $1.8 million or $0.79 per share as of 9/30/2016.

No company or transaction used as a comparison in the above selected transaction analysis is identical to TFB or the proposed merger. Accordingly, an analysis of these results is not mathematical. Rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the companies involved.

Relative Contribution Analysis . KBW analyzed the relative standalone contribution of Glacier and TFB to various pro forma balance sheet and income statement items of the combined entity. This analysis did not include purchase accounting adjustments or cost savings. To perform this analysis, KBW used (i) balance sheet and net income data for Glacier and TFB as of September 30, 2016 or for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2016, (ii) publicly available 2016, 2017 and 2018 EPS consensus “street estimates” for Glacier, and (iii) financial forecasts and projections of TFB provided by TFB management. The results of KBW’s analysis are set forth in the following table, which also compares

the results of KBW’s analysis with the implied pro forma ownership percentages of Glacier and TFB shareholders in the combined company based on the implied collar-adjusted stock consideration of 0.595844 shares of Glacier common stock provided for in the merger agreement (reflecting a 73% stock / 27% cash implied merger consideration mix) and also based on a hypothetical exchange ratio assuming 100% stock consideration in the proposed merger for illustrative purposes:


	Glacier			TFB
	as a % of Total			as a % of Total
Ownership
73% Stock / 27% Cash		98.2	%		1.8	%
100% stock		97.6	%		2.4	%

Balance Sheet
Total Assets		96.7	%		3.3	%
Gross Loans		95.7	%		4.3	%
Total Deposits		96.5	%		3.5	%
Tangible Common Equity		96.4	%		3.6	%
Tangible Common Equity (incl. payment of special dividend) ⁽¹⁾		96.6	%		3.4	%

Income Statement

2016e Core Net Income to Common ⁽²⁾		97.7	%		2.3	%
2017e Net Income to Common		97.7	%		2.3	%
2018e Net Income to Common		97.5	%		2.5	%

(1)	Includes TFB’s special dividend payment of $1.8 million or $0.79 per share as of 9/30/2016.

(2)	Core Income excludes non-recurring items, gains/losses on sale of securities, reversal in DTA valuation allowance and release in ALLL. Assumes 35% tax rate.

Forecasted Pro Forma Financial Impact Analysis. KBW performed a pro forma financial impact analysis that combined projected income statement and balance sheet information of Glacier and TFB. Using closing balance sheet estimates as of March 31, 2017 for Glacier based on publicly available consensus “street estimates,” closing balance sheet estimates as of March 31, 2017 for TFB provided by TFB management, publicly available 2016 and 2017 EPS consensus “street estimates” for Glacier, an assumed long-term earnings growth rate provided by Glacier management, financial and operating forecasts and projections of TFB provided by TFB management and pro forma assumptions (including certain purchase accounting adjustments, cost savings and related expenses) provided by Glacier management, KBW analyzed the potential financial impact of the merger on certain projected financial results of Glacier. This analysis indicated the merger could be accretive to Glacier’s estimated post-closing 2017 EPS, estimated 2018 EPS and estimated 2019 EPS and dilutive to Glacier’s estimated tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2017. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that each of Glacier’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, leverage ratio, Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio and Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio as of March 31, 2017 could be lower. For all of the above analysis, the actual results achieved by Glacier following the merger may vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material.

TFB Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. KBW performed a discounted cash flow analysis of TFB to estimate a range for the implied equity value of TFB. In this analysis, KBW used financial forecasts and projections relating to the net income and assets of TFB provided by TFB management, and assumed

discount rates ranging from 14.0% to 18.0%. The ranges of values were derived by adding (i) the present value of the estimated excess cash flows that TFB could generate over the five-year period from 2017 to 2021 as a standalone company, and (ii) the present value of TFB’s implied terminal value at the end of such period. KBW assumed that TFB would maintain a tangible common equity to tangible asset ratio of 8.00% and would retain sufficient earnings to maintain that level. In calculating the terminal value of TFB, KBW applied a range of 11.0x to 15.0x estimated 2022 net income. This discounted cash flow analysis resulted in a range of implied values per share of TFB common stock of $19.73 to $27.52.

The discounted cash flow analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such methodology are highly dependent on the assumptions that must be made, including asset and earnings growth rates, terminal values, dividend payout rates, and discount rates. The foregoing discounted cash flow analyses did not purport to be indicative of the actual values of TFB.

Miscellaneous . KBW acted as financial advisor to TFB and not as an advisor to or agent of any other person. As part of its investment banking business, KBW is continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, KBW has experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of their broker-dealer businesses, including pursuant to existing sales and trading relationships between certain KBW affiliates and Glacier, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, TFB and Glacier and, as market makers in securities, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of TFB and Glacier for its and their own accounts and for the accounts of its and their respective customers and clients.

Pursuant to the KBW engagement agreement, TFB agreed to pay KBW a cash fee equal to 1.25% of the aggregate merger consideration, which is contingent upon the closing of the merger, as well as a separate fee of $125,000, which became payable to KBW with the rendering of its opinion. TFB also agreed to reimburse KBW for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements incurred in connection with its retention and to indemnify KBW against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of KBW’s engagement or KBW’s role in connection therewith. Other than in connection with this present engagement, during the two years preceding the date of its opinion, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to TFB. During the two years preceding the date of its opinion, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to Glacier. KBW may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to TFB or Glacier and receive compensation for such services.

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

While Glacier and TFB 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 as of the effective date of the merger, each share of TFB common stock will be converted into the right to receive a “unit” comprised of Glacier common stock and cash, as follows:

Stock Portion of Merger Consideration

0.607387 Glacier shares, subject to adjustment as follows: If the average closing price of Glacier stock calculated in accordance with the merger agreement exceeds $32.52, Glacier may elect to terminate the merger agreement, unless TFB elects to accept a decrease in the per-share number of Glacier shares 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 the per-share number of Glacier shares to be issued in the merger.

Conversely, if the average closing price is (i) below $24.04 but not less than $22.62 and the price of Glacier common stock has underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%, or (ii) is below $22.62, TFB may elect to terminate the merger agreement, unless Glacier elects to increase the per-share number of Glacier shares to be issued.

Assuming for purposes of illustration only that the average closing price of Glacier common stock is $37.11 (which was the per-share closing price of Glacier common stock on December 14, 2016), TFB shareholders would receive 0.532262 shares of Glacier common stock for each share of TFB common stock. This exchange ratio reflects a decrease from 0.607387 Glacier shares for each TFB share because the December 14, 2016 Glacier closing price exceeds $32.52 and assumes that Glacier requires, and TFB accepts, a reduction in the exchange ratio as described above. 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 $32.52.

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

Cash Portion of Merger Consideration

$7.36152 in cash, subject to adjustment as follows: If the “TFB Closing Capital” is less than $35,160,000, 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 deficit.

If TFB Closing Capital exceeds the Closing Capital Requirement, the cash portion of the merger consideration will be increased the amount of such excess, or alternatively, TFB 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.

“TFB 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 TFB’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 TFB’s consolidated tangible equity capital at March 31, 2016 was calculated, after giving effect to adjustments, calculated in accordance with GAAP, for accumulated other comprehensive income or loss as reported on TFB’s balance sheet.

The TFB Closing Capital may be adjusted based on the estimated final amount of transaction-related expenses to be incurred by TFB, as determined and agreed upon between TFB and Glacier in accordance with the merger agreement (the “Final Transaction-Related Expenses”). To the extent the Final Transaction-Related Expenses exceed specified amounts in particular agreed categories of expenses, the amount of such excess expenses, on an after-tax basis, will be reflected as a pro-forma adjustment to the TFB Closing Capital, reducing the amount of the TFB 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 $37.11 (which was the closing price for Glacier common stock on December 14, 2016), each share of TFB common stock would receive consideration with a value equal to $27.1137, consisting of $7.36152 in cash and 0.532262 shares of Glacier common stock.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Glacier common stock will be issued to any holder of TFB 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 Arizona Business Corporation Act, which is expected to occur on the date of closing. Subject to the foregoing, it is currently anticipated that the merger will be consummated during the first quarter of 2017. Either Glacier or TFB may terminate the merger agreement if the effective date does not occur on or before May 31, 2017.

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 TFB common stock. This mailing will contain instructions on how to surrender TFB 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 TFB 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. TFB shareholders must provide properly completed and executed letters of transmittal in order to effect the exchange of their shares of TFB 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 at the election of the TFB 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; 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 TFB 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 TFB 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.

Voting Agreements

The directors of TFB and certain related shareholders have entered into voting agreements, dated as of November 15, 2016. In the voting agreements, each person agrees, among other things, to vote the shares of TFB common stock that he or she is entitled to vote and that he or she owns or controls in favor of the merger agreement. The persons who have entered into the voting agreements are entitled to vote a total of 998,738 shares of TFB common stock (which number excludes unvested restricted shares and all vested and unvested stock options), representing approximately 43.21% of all outstanding shares of TFB common stock

Dissenters’ Rights

Under the Arizona Business Corporation Act (“ABCA”), TFB shareholders have the right to dissent from the merger and to receive payment in cash for the “fair value” of their shares of TFB common stock.

TFB shareholders electing to exercise dissenters’ rights must comply with the provisions of applicable Arizona 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 TFB 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 Arizona dissenters’ rights laws, the full text of which is set forth in Appendix B to this document.

A shareholder who wishes to asset dissenters’ rights must:

•

deliver to TFB before the special meeting written notice of the shareholder’s intent to demand payment for the shareholder’s shares if the merger is completed, and

•

not vote in favor of the merger.

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

TFB Bancorp, Inc.

11689 S. Foothills Blvd.

Yuma, Arizona 85367

Attention: Secretary

A shareholder who wishes to exercise dissenters’ rights generally must dissent with respect to all of the 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 TFB in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf the record owner asserts dissenters’ rights. A beneficial shareholder may assert dissenters’ rights directly by submitting to TFB 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 the power to direct the vote.

A shareholder who does not, prior to the special shareholders meeting, deliver to TFB a written notice of the shareholder’s intent to demand payment for the shares will lose the right to exercise dissenters’ rights. In addition, any shareholder electing to exercise dissenters’ rights must either vote against the merger or abstain from voting.

If the merger is completed, Glacier (as the surviving corporation) will, within 10 days after the effective date of the merger, deliver a written notice to all TFB shareholders who properly gave notice of their intent to exercise dissenters’ rights. The notice will, among other things:

•

state where the payment demand must be sent and where and when certificates for certificated shares must be deposited;

•

inform holders of uncertificated shares to what extent transfer of the shares will be restricted after the payment demand is received;

•

supply a form for demanding payment that includes the date of the first announcement of the terms of the merger and that requires that the person asserting dissenters’ rights certify whether or not the person acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before that date.

•

set a date by which Glacier must receive the payment demand, which date must be at least 30 but not more than 60 days after the date the notice is delivered;

•

state Glacier’s estimate of the “fair value” for the shares and include specified financial and other information related to the estimate; and

•

be accompanied by a copy of the dissenters’ rights provisions of the ABCA, Sections 10-1320 through 10-1331.

A shareholder sent a notice as described above must demand payment, certify whether the shareholder acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before the date the terms of the merger were first announced as set forth in the notice, and deposit the shareholder’s certificates in accordance with the terms of the notice. A shareholder who demands payment and deposits the shareholder’s certificates retains all other rights of a shareholder until these rights are canceled or modified.

A shareholder who does not demand payment or does not deposit the shareholder’s certificates if required, each by the date set in the notice, is not entitled to payment for the shareholders shares.

The ABCA provides that Glacier (as the surviving corporation) must pay any dissenter who has complied with the requirements summarized above the ““fair value” of the shareholder’s shares plus interest from the effective date of the merger. With respect to a dissenter who did not beneficially own shares of TFB 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, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger unless exclusion is inequitable. The “fair value” may be less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the consideration that a TFB shareholder would be entitled to receive under the merger agreement. Investment banker opinions as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration payable in a transaction such as the merger are not opinions as to, and do not address, “fair value” under the ABCA.

Within 30 days of Glacier’s payment (or offer of payment in the case of shares acquired after public announcement of the merger) to a dissenting shareholder, a dissenter dissatisfied with Glacier’s estimate of the fair value may notify Glacier of the dissenter’s own estimate of the fair value and demand payment of that amount. If Glacier does not accept the dissenter’s estimate and the parties do not otherwise settle on a fair value, then Glacier must, within 60 days of receiving the estimate and demand, petition a court to determine fair value.

In view of the complexity of the Arizona statutes governing dissenters’ rights, TFB shareholders who wish to dissent from the merger and pursue dissenter’s rights should consult their legal advisors.

The failure of a TFB shareholder to comply strictly with the Arizona statutory requirements will result in a loss of dissenters’ rights. A copy of the relevant statutory provisions is attached as Appendix B. You should refer to Appendix B for a complete statement concerning dissenters’ rights and the foregoing summary of such rights is qualified in its entirety by reference to Appendix B.

Stock Options

The merger agreement provides that at the effective time of the merger, each outstanding and unexercised option to acquire shares of TFB (“TFB Options”), whether or not then vested, will be canceled, and in lieu thereof the holders of such TFB Options will be paid in cash an amount equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of TFB common stock subject to such option, and (b) the amount by which the per-share merger consideration value exceeds the exercise price per share of such TFB Option, net of tax withholding. Outstanding option agreements provide that outstanding options will be vested upon a change in control, such as the merger, to the extent not vested as of such date.

Restricted Stock

The merger agreement provides that all unvested shares of restricted TFB common stock issued and outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be vested to the extent not vested on such date and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration being paid with respect to all other outstanding TFB shares.

Conditions to the Merger

Consummation of the merger is subject to various conditions. No assurance can be provided as to whether these conditions will be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the merger will be completed.

Certain conditions must be satisfied or events must occur before the parties will be obligated to complete the merger. Each party’s obligations under the merger agreement are conditioned on satisfaction by the other party of conditions applicable to them. Some of these conditions, applicable to the respective obligations of both Glacier and TFB, are as follows:

•

the accuracy of the other party’s representations in the merger agreement and any certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the merger agreement;

•

compliance by the other party of all material terms, covenants, and conditions of the merger agreement;

•

that there shall have been no damage, destruction, or loss, or other event or sequence of events, that has had or potentially may have a material adverse effect with respect to the other party;

•

that no action or proceeding has been commenced or threatened by any governmental agency to restrain or prohibit or invalidate the merger;

•

the parties shall have agreed on the amount of the TFB Closing Capital and Final Transaction-Related Expenses, each as defined in the merger agreement; and

•

the registration statement filed with the SEC, required to register the Glacier common stock to be issued to shareholders of TFB, has become effective, and no stop-order suspending such effectiveness has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or threatened by the SEC.

In addition to the above, the obligations of Glacier under the merger agreement are subject to conditions that:

•

in the opinion of the executive officers of TFB and Foothills Bank, Foothills Bank’s allowance for possible loan and lease losses is adequate to absorb its anticipated loan losses; and

•

TFB shall have provided to Glacier, upon reasonable request, certain reports relating to its loans, other extensions of credit, and other assets that are adversely classified, and neither these reports nor any examination by Glacier will have revealed a change in adversely classified assets or other new information relating to Foothills Bank’s loans which constitutes a material adverse effect on TFB.

Additionally, either Glacier or TFB may terminate the merger if certain conditions applicable to the other party are not satisfied or waived. Those conditions are discussed below under “–Termination of the Merger Agreement.”

Either Glacier or TFB may waive any conditions applicable to its obligations, except those that are required by law (such as receipt of regulatory approvals and TFB shareholder approval). Either Glacier or TFB may also grant extended time to the other party to complete an obligation or condition.

Amendment of the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement may be amended upon authorization of the boards of directors of the parties, whether before or after the special meeting of the shareholders of TFB. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the parties may make any amendment or supplement without further approval of TFB shareholders. However, after shareholder approval, any amendment that would reduce the amount or change the form of the consideration that TFB shareholders will receive in the merger would require further TFB shareholder approval.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

The merger agreement contains several provisions entitling either Glacier or TFB to terminate the merger agreement under certain circumstances. The following briefly describes these provisions:

Lapse of Time . If the merger has not been consummated on or before May 31, 2017, then at any time after that date, the board of directors of either Glacier or TFB may terminate the merger agreement and the merger if (i) the terminating party’s board of directors decides to terminate by a majority vote of all if its members, and (ii) the terminating party delivers to the other party written notice that its board of directors has voted in favor of termination.

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

Glacier Average Closing Price Greater than $32.52 . By specific action of its board of directors, Glacier may terminate the merger agreement if the Glacier average closing price (as defined in the merger agreement) is greater than $32.52.

If Glacier provides written notice of its intent to terminate the merger agreement because the Glacier average closing price is greater than $32.52, TFB may elect, within three business days of its receipt of such notice, to accept an adjustment to the per-share stock consideration through the issuance of fewer Glacier shares; in such event, the per-share stock consideration will be the number of Glacier shares equal to the quotient obtained by (a) dividing the result of (i) the number of shares of TFB common stock outstanding at the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the per-share stock consideration, multiplied by (iii) $32.52 divided by the Glacier average closing price, and (b) dividing that result by the number of TFB shares outstanding at the closing. If TFB 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 the per-share 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 the per-share number of Glacier shares to be issued in the merger.

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

TFB may terminate the merger agreement if the Glacier average closing price is less than $24.04 but not less than $22.62 and during the period from the execution date of the merger agreement to the determination date the price of Glacier common stock has underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%. TFB may also terminate the merger agreement if the Glacier average closing price is less than $22.62 (in such case no reference to the performance of Glacier stock relative to a peer group index would be required).

If TFB provides written notice of its intent to terminate the merger agreement because the Glacier average closing price is less than $24.04 but not less than $22.62 and the price of Glacier stock has underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10%, Glacier may elect, within three business of its receipt of such notice, to adjust the per-share stock consideration (or per-share cash consideration, or a combination thereof) such that the total value of Glacier stock to be issued (plus any additional cash consideration) is equal to the result of (i) the number of shares of TFB common stock outstanding at the closing of the merger, multiplied by (ii) the per-share stock consideration multiplied by (iii) $24.04.

If TFB provides written notice of its intent to terminate the merger agreement because the Glacier average closing price is less than $22.62, Glacier may elect, within three business days of its receipt of such notice, to adjust the per-share stock consideration (or per-share cash consideration, or a combination thereof) such that the total value of Glacier stock to be issued (plus any additional cash consideration) is equal to the result of (i) the number of shares of TFB common stock outstanding at the closing of the merger, multiplied by (ii) the per-share stock consideration multiplied by (iii) $22.62.

If Glacier elects to increase the per-share stock consideration (or per-share cash consideration) as described 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.

No Regulatory Approvals . Either party may terminate the merger agreement if the regulatory approvals required to be obtained are denied, or if any such approval is conditioned on a substantial deviation from the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, subject to certain rights granted in the merger agreement to appeal the denial of such regulatory approval.

Breach of Representation or Covenant . Either party may terminate the merger agreement (so long as the terminating party is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in the merger agreement) if there has been a material breach of any covenants or agreements set forth in the merger agreement by the other party, which is not cured within 30 days following written notice to the party committing such breach, or which breach, by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the closing of the merger.

Failure to Recommend or Obtain Shareholder Approval . Glacier may terminate the merger agreement if the TFB Board (i) fails to recommend to its shareholders approval of the merger, or (ii) modifies, withdraws or changes in a manner adverse to Glacier its recommendation to shareholders to approve the merger. Additionally, regardless of whether or not the TFB Board recommends approval of the merger to its shareholders, Glacier may terminate the merger agreement if TFB 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 government of the States of Montana or Arizona to restrain or invalidate the merger or the merger agreement.

Dissenting Shares . Glacier may terminate the merger agreement if holders of 10% or more of the outstanding TFB shares have properly given notice of their intent to assert dissenters’ rights under Arizona law.

Superior Proposal – Termination by TFB . TFB may terminate the merger agreement if its board of directors determines in good faith that TFB has received a “Superior Proposal” as defined in the merger agreement. This right is subject to the requirement that TFB may terminate the merger agreement only if TFB (i) has not breached its covenants regarding the initiation or solicitation of acquisition proposals from third parties; (ii) subsequent to delivering the notice of termination to Glacier, TFB intends to enter into a letter of intent, acquisition agreement or similar agreement relating to such Superior Proposal, (iii) TFB has provided Glacier with at least five days prior written notice that TFB is prepared to accept a Superior Proposal and has given Glacier, if it so elects, an opportunity to amend the terms of the merger agreement (and negotiated with Glacier in good faith with respect to such terms) in such a manner as would enable TFB to proceed with the merger and (iv) simultaneously upon entering into a letter of intent or agreement relating to the Superior Proposal, it delivers to Glacier the break-up fee described below.

Superior Proposal – Termination by Glacier . Glacier may terminate the merger agreement if (i) an “Acquisition Event” (as defined in the merger agreement) has occurred or (ii) a third party has made a proposal to TFB or its shareholders to engage in, or has entered into an agreement with respect to, an Acquisition Event, and the merger agreement and the merger are not approved at the special meeting of TFB shareholders.

Termination Fees

TFB will pay Glacier a termination fee of $400,000 if Glacier terminates the merger agreement based on a TFB breach of its representations or breach of its covenants. Glacier will pay TFB a termination fee of $400,000 if TFB terminates the merger agreement based on a Glacier breach of its representations or breach of its covenants.

Break-Up Fee

If the merger agreement is terminated because (i) the TFB Board fails to recommend shareholder approval of the merger agreement or modifies, or withdraws or changes its recommendation in a manner adverse to Glacier; or (ii) TFB terminates the merger agreement after receiving a Superior Proposal and Glacier declines the opportunity to amend the terms of the merger agreement to enable the TFB Board to proceed with the merger; or (iii) Glacier terminates the merger agreement if an Acquisition Event has occurred, then TFB will immediately pay Glacier a break-up fee of $2,500,000. If the merger agreement is terminated by Glacier due to the merger agreement not being approved at the TFB special shareholders’ meeting following TFB’s receipt of a proposal to enter into an Acquisition Event, and prior to or within one year after such termination, TFB enters into an agreement, or publicly announces an intention to engage in an Acquisition Event, or within 12 months after such termination an Acquisition Event has occurred, then TFB will promptly pay Glacier the break-up fee of $2,500,000.

Allocation of Costs Upon Termination

If the merger agreement is terminated (except under circumstances that would require the payment of a termination fee or break-up fee) Glacier and TFB will each pay their own out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the transaction and, except for any applicable termination or break-up fees, will have no other liability to the other party.

Conduct Pending the Merger

The merger agreement provides that, until the merger is effective, TFB will conduct its business only in the ordinary and usual course. The merger agreement also provides that, unless Glacier otherwise

consents in writing, and except as required by applicable regulatory authorities, TFB and Foothills Bank will refrain from engaging in various activities such as:

•

effecting any stock split or other recapitalization with respect to TFB, or pledging or encumbering any shares of TFB stock;

•

other than as permitted by the merger agreement, declaring or paying any dividends, or making any other distributions with respect to shares of TFB;

•

acquiring, selling, transferring assigning or encumbering or otherwise disposing of any material assets having a value greater than $100,000, or making any material commitment other than in the ordinary course of business;

•

soliciting or accepting deposit accounts of a different type from accounts previously accepted by Foothills Bank or at rates materially in excess of prevailing interest rates, or, other than as permitted by the merger agreement, incurring any indebtedness for borrowed money;

•

offering or making loans or other extensions of credit of a different type, or applying different underwriting standards, from those previously offered or applied by Foothills Bank, or offering or making a new loan or extension of credit in an amount greater than $1,000,000 without prior consultation with Glacier, which consultation will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which will be deemed provided if Glacier has not responded to such request within three business days after Glacier’s receipt of a loan package concerning the loan at issue;

•

making any negative provisions to the ALLL or failing to maintain an adequate reserve for loan and lease losses;

•

other than as permitted by the merger agreement, acquiring an ownership interest (except other real estate owned with a value not exceeding $100,000) or leasehold interest in real property without conducting an appropriate environmental evaluation and providing specified information and notices to Glacier;

•

other than as permitted by the merger agreement, entering into, renewing, amending or terminating any contracts calling for a payment of more than $25,000, with a term of one year or more;

•

other than as permitted by the merger agreement, entering into or amending any contract calling for a payment of more than $25,000, unless the contract may be terminated without cause or penalty upon 30 days’ notice or less;

•

other than as permitted by the merger agreement, entering into any personal services contract;

•

selling any securities other than in the ordinary course of business, or selling any securities even in the ordinary course of business if the aggregate gain or loss realized from all sales after the date of execution of the merger agreement would exceed $25,000, or transferring investment securities between portfolios;

•

other than as permitted by the merger agreement, implementing or adopting any material changes in its operations, policies or procedures;

•

other than in accordance with binding existing commitments, making capital expenditures in excess of $25,000 per project or related series of projects or $50,000 in the aggregate;

•

entering into material transactions or making any material expenditures other than in the ordinary course of business except for expenses reasonably related to the completion of the merger; and

•

willfully taking any action which would materially and adversely affect or delay the ability of either party to obtain any necessary approvals, consents or waivers of any governmental authority or for either party to perform in all material respects their respective covenants and agreements under the merger agreement.

Foothills Bank Management and Operations After the Merger

Immediately following the merger of TFB with and into Glacier, Foothills Bank will be merged with and into Glacier Bank. It is anticipated that that the former Foothills Bank will operate after the closing of the merger as “The Foothills Bank, a division of Glacier Bank” consistent with Glacier’s organizational structure.

As described below under “Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger.” certain executive officers of Foothills Bank have entered into employment agreements with Glacier and Glacier Bank, effective upon closing of the merger, pursuant to which they will serve as executive officers of The Foothills Bank, a division of Glacier Bank.

Employee Benefit Plans

The merger agreement confirms Glacier’s intent that Glacier’s and Glacier Bank’s current personnel policies will apply to any employees of TFB who remain employed following the closing of the merger. Such employees will be eligible to participate in all of the benefit plans of Glacier that are generally available to similarly situated employees of Glacier and/or Glacier Bank. For purposes of such participation, current employees’ prior service with TFB will constitute prior service with Glacier for purposes of determining eligibility and vesting under benefit plans of Glacier and Glacier Bank. The merger agreement also requires that Glacier and/or Glacier Bank, as applicable, make all commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any preexisting condition limitations, (ii) honor under such plans any deductible, co-payment, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the employees and their beneficiaries during the portion of the calendar year prior to such participation, and (iii) waive any waiting period limitation or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger

Certain members of the TFB Board and management may be deemed to have interests in the merger, in addition to their interests as shareholders of TFB generally. The TFB Board was aware of these factors and considered them, among other things, in approving the merger agreement.

Change-in-Control Agreements

Foothills Bank previously entered into Change in Control Agreements (“CIC Agreements”) with the following current officers of Foothills Bank: Tom Dolan, Executive Vice President (“EVP”) — Chief Operating Officer/Chief Credit Officer; James Carr, EVP — Chief Banking Officer; Danelle Thomsen, EVP – Chief Financial Officer; Debra Carbone, Senior Vice President (“SVP”) — Director of Loan Operations/ Director of Loan Administration; Crystal Gunderman, SVP – Yuma Regional President; and Debra Warren, SVP – Director of Compliance. Each of the CIC Agreements is dated as of April 30, 2014. The CIC Agreements provide that if the executive’s employment is terminated without Cause within the one-year period following a Change in Control, or by the executive with Good Reason within the one-year period

following a Change in Control (as such terms are defined in the CIC Agreements), the executive will be entitled to receive a lump-sum severance payment. The severance payment is in an amount equal to one year’s base salary for Messrs. Dolan and Carr and Ms. Thomsen, and in an amount equal to six months’ base salary for Ms. Carbone, Ms. Gunderman and Ms. Warren. Messrs. Dolan and Carr and Ms. Carbone have each entered into employment agreements, as described below, that will have the effect of replacing their current CIC Agreements.

Closing Payments Agreement

TFB and Foothills Bank have entered into an agreement (the “Closing Payments Agreement”) with Mary Lynn D. Lenz who is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Foothills Bank and TFB as well as a director of TFB and Foothills Bank. The Closing Payments Agreement is effective immediately prior to (and conditioned upon) the closing of the merger.

Ms. Lenz is currently a party to an Executive Employment Agreement with Foothills Bank, dated July 1, 2013, as amended on June 16, 2016 (the “Employment Agreement”), and a Salary Continuation Agreement, dated April 21, 2014 (the “SERP”). The Employment Agreement provides for a lump sum change in control severance payment equal to three times Ms. Lenz’s Base Salary (as defined in the Employment Agreement) upon Foothills Bank’s termination of her employment without Cause or her termination of employment with Good Reason within a one-year period following a Change in Control (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement). The Closing Payments Agreement provides that Ms. Lenz will be entitled to receive a payment equal to the amount of the change in control severance payment provided in the Employment Agreement, notwithstanding that her employment will not be terminated. In full satisfaction of TFB’s and Foothills Bank’s payment obligations under the Employment Agreement, less applicable tax withholdings, Ms. Lenz will receive a lump-sum payment of $916,695.

The SERP is designed to provide for annual payment to Ms. Lenz for the 10 years following her retirement at age 65. The SERP also provides for benefits to be paid to Ms. Lenz in the event of a Separation from Service (as defined in the SERP,), under various circumstances prior to age 65. In the event of a Change in Control followed within 12 months by a Separation in Service prior to age 65, the SERP provides for a lump-sum payment of $792,565 in lieu of any other benefit thereunder. Pursuant to the Closing Payments Agreement, TFB will terminate the SERP and pay Ms. Lenz, in full satisfaction of TFB’s and Foothills Bank’s payment obligations under the SERP, and will pay Ms. Lenz a lump-sum payment of $792,565, less applicable tax withholdings, notwithstanding that no Separation from Service will have occurred.

The Closing Payments Agreement provides that if the payments described above together with any other payments which Ms. Lenz has the right to receive from Glacier, Glacier Bank, TFB or Foothills Bank would constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, payments pursuant to the Closing Payments Agreement will be reduced to the extent necessary to ensure that no portion of such payments will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Closing Payments Agreement provides that the full payment of the amounts set forth above will be in complete satisfaction of all rights to payments due to Ms. Lenz under the Employment Agreement and the SERP.

Employment Agreements with Glacier Bank

Glacier Bank has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Dolan and Carr, and Ms. Carbone governing employment by Glacier Bank following the merger. Each executive will serve as an executive officer of The Foothills Bank, a division of Glacier Bank. The employment agreements are effective

Mr. Dolan will serve as EVP—Chief Credit Officer/Chief Administrative Officer; Mr. Carr will continue to serve in his current capacity; Ms. Carbone will serve as Senior Vice President – Chief Operations Officer. The agreements provide that the executive will receive specified “Aggregate Compensation” (annualized base salary, accruals under the Glacier profit sharing plan, and the grant date value of awards under Glacier’s long-term incentive plan).

Additionally, the executives will be entitled to participate in any group life insurance, disability, health and accident insurance plans, and any other employee fringe benefit plans that Glacier or Glacier Bank may have in effect from time to time for its similarly situated employees.

If the executive’s employment is terminated for Cause or the executive terminates his or her employment without Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the agreements), Glacier Bank will pay the executive the salary earned and expenses reimbursable incurred through the date of termination.

If the executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or the executive terminates his or her employment with Good Reason, contingent upon the executive’s execution of a release of claims, Glacier Bank will pay the executive a lump sum payment equal to the lesser of (i) one times his or her annual base salary at the time of termination, or (ii) the amount of salary remaining to be paid during the term of the agreement.

The employment agreements provide that during his or her employment and for one year following the date employment with Glacier Bank has ended, the executive will not engage in any activity in Yuma, Pinal or Yavapai Counties in Arizona that is competitive with the business of Glacier or Glacier Bank. In addition, the employment agreements provide that during his or her employment and for a period of one year following any termination of employment, the executive will not persuade or entice, or attempt to persuade or entice, any employee of Glacier or Glacier Bank to terminate his or her employment with Glacier or Glacier Bank, or any person or entity to terminate or reduce its business relationship with Glacier or Glacier Bank.

Glacier Bank has also entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Lenz, pursuant to which she will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of The Foothills Bank, a division of Glacier Bank.

The scope of this indemnification is to the fullest extent that such persons would have been entitled to indemnification under applicable law, TFB’s articles or TFB’s bylaws, as applicable.

The merger agreement also provides that Glacier will use reasonable best efforts to cause to be maintained in effect for a period of six years following the effective date of the merger, director and officer liability insurance with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred before the effective date of the merger.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

This section describes the anticipated material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger of TFB with and into Glacier, to U.S. holders of TFB common stock who exchange shares of TFB 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 TFB common stock who for United States 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 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; or

•

an estate that is subject to United States 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 States federal income tax purposes) holds TFB 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 TFB common stock, you should consult your tax advisor.

This discussion addresses only those TFB shareholders that hold their TFB common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code, and does not address all the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular TFB shareholders in light of their individual circumstances or to TFB 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 TFB common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale or conversion transaction;

•

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

•

foreign persons; and

•

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

In addition, the discussion does not address any alternative minimum tax or any state, local or foreign tax consequences of the merger.

The following discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder and published rulings and 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.

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 federal income tax purposes qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 368(a); and both Glacier and TFB expect to report the merger accordingly on their 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 TFB. 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 TFB have not requested and do not intend to request any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service as to the United States federal income tax consequence of the merger. Accordingly, each TFB 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 TFB Common Stock. If the merger is a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the tax consequences are as follows:

•

TFB shareholders will exchange all of their TFB common stock for a combination of Glacier common stock and cash in the merger. Accordingly, holders of TFB common stock will recognize gain 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 a holder of TFB common stock exceeds such holder’s cost basis in its TFB common stock, and (2) the amount of cash received by such holder of TFB common stock in exchange for such holder’s TFB 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 TFB 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 TFB common stock surrendered, decreased by the amount of any cash received and increased by the amount of any gain recognized; and

•

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

If holders of TFB common stock acquired different blocks of TFB common stock at different times or at different prices, any gain or loss will be determined separately with respect to each block of TFB common stock and such holders’ basis and holding period in their shares of Glacier common stock may be determined with reference to each block of TFB 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 TFB 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 holders of TFB common stock recognize in connection with the merger generally will constitute capital gain and will constitute long-term capital gain if such holders have held (or are treated as having held) their TFB common stock for more than one year as of the date of the merger. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate holders of TFB 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. 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 TFB 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 TFB 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 TFB 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 . If TFB’s capital prior to closing of the merger is in excess of a certain minimum amount, TFB may in its discretion declare and pay a special distribution to holders of its common stock in the amount of such excess. TFB intends to treat that special distribution as a distribution in respect of TFB common stock. The IRS may take a contrary position, and to the extent the IRS 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 TFB common stock, it will be taxable dividend income to the extent of such holder’s ratable share of TFB’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, if any. Any amount that exceeds TFB’s earnings and profits will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of TFB common stock (thus reducing such adjusted tax basis) with any remaining amounts being treated as capital gain. Such capital gain will be long term capital gain if the holder’s holding period for the shares of TFB common stock exceeded one year at the distribution date. Any such taxable dividend income and capital gain should be included in the U.S. holder’s income in the taxable year in which the distribution is received.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. Payments of cash to a holder of TFB 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 payments to a holder under the backup withholding rules are not additional tax and will be allowed as a refund or credit against the holder’s United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Reporting Requirements. TFB shareholders who are “significant holders” are required to file a statement with their U.S. federal income tax return setting forth certain information, including, but not limited to, their tax basis (determined immediately before the merger) in the TFB common stock exchanged in the merger and the fair market value (determined immediately before the merger) of the

TFB common stock exchanged in the merger. For these purposes a “significant holder” is a holder of TFB common stock who immediately before the merger (i) owned at least 5% of the total outstanding stock of TFB by vote or value or (ii) owned stock of TFB with a tax basis of at least $1 million. All TFB shareholders will be required to retain permanent tax records of the basis of TFB common stock exchanged and the Glacier common stock and cash received in the merger.

The preceding discussion is intended only as a summary of material United States 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 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 TFB 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 TFB 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 TFB 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.

Competition

TFB experiences competition in both lending and attracting funds from other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, pension trusts, mutual funds, insurance companies, mortgage bankers and brokers, brokerage and investment banking firms, asset-based non-bank lenders, government agencies and certain other non-financial institutions, including retail stores, which may offer more favorable financing alternatives than TFB.

TFB also competes with companies located outside of its primary market that provide financial services to persons within this market. Some of TFB’s current and potential competitors have larger customer bases, greater brand recognition, and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than TFB and some of them are not subject to the same degree of regulation as TFB.

Employees

As of September 30, 2016, TFB had 59 full-time and 1 part-time employees. TFB believes that it has a good relationship with its employees and the employees are not represented by a collective bargaining agreement.

Properties

Foothills Bank’s principal office is located in Yuma, Arizona.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, litigation arises in the normal conduct of TFB’s business.

DESCRIPTION OF GLACIER’S CAPITAL STOCK

Glacier’s authorized capital stock consists of 117,187,500 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Glacier had no shares of preferred stock issued. The Glacier board of directors is authorized, without further shareholder action, to issue preferred stock shares with such designations, preferences and rights as the Glacier board of directors may determine.

Glacier common stock is listed for trading on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “GBCI.”

Glacier’s shareholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional securities that may be issued. Each share of Glacier common stock has the same relative rights and is identical in all respects to every other share of Glacier common stock. If Glacier is liquidated, the holders of Glacier common stock are entitled to share, on a pro rata basis, Glacier’s remaining assets after provision for liabilities.

For additional information concerning Glacier’s capital stock, see “Comparison of Certain Rights of Holders of Glacier and TFB Common Stock” below.

COMPARISON OF CERTAIN RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF

GLACIER AND TFB COMMON STOCK

Montana law, Glacier’s articles and Glacier’s bylaws govern the rights of Glacier’s shareholders and will govern the rights of TFB’s shareholders, who will become shareholders of Glacier as a result of the merger. The rights of TFB’s shareholders are currently governed by Arizona law, TFB’s articles and TFB’s bylaws. The following is a brief summary of certain differences between the rights of Glacier and TFB 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 Arizona. See also “Where You Can Find More Information About Glacier.”

General

Under Glacier’s articles, Glacier’s authorized capital stock consists of 117,187,500 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

Under TFB’s articles, TFB’s authorized capital stock consists of 9,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share.

The following is a more detailed description of Glacier’s and TFB’s capital stock.

Common Stock

As of September 30, 2016, there were 76,525,402 shares of Glacier common stock issued and outstanding, in addition to 222,732 shares of unvested restricted stock awards, under Glacier’s employee and director equity compensation plans.

As of September 30, 2016, there were 2,311,349 shares of TFB common stock issued and outstanding, in addition to (i) options for the purchase of 32,175 shares of TFB common stock, and (ii) 73,372 shares of unvested restricted stock awards under equity compensation plans.

Preferred Stock

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Glacier had no shares of preferred stock issued. The Glacier board of directors is authorized, without further shareholder action, to issue preferred stock shares with such designations, preferences and rights as the Glacier board of directors may determine.

TFB’s articles do not provide for the issuance of preferred stock.

Dividend Rights

Dividends may be paid on Glacier common stock as and when declared by the Glacier board of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. 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 TFB common stock as and when declared by the TFB Board out funds legally available for the payment of dividends. TFB’s payment of dividends is generally subject to the same considerations described above with respect to Glacier.

Voting Rights

All voting rights are currently vested in the holders of Glacier common stock and TFB common stock, with each share being entitled to one vote.

Glacier has issued shares of restricted stock, which provide voting rights prior to vesting. TFB has issued shares of restricted stock, which do not provide voting rights prior to vesting.

Glacier’s articles provide that shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

TFB’s bylaws provide that shareholders have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors (each shareholder has the right to vote such number of shares for as many persons as there are directors to be elected) and are entitled to one vote in all other matters submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.

Preemptive Rights

Neither Glacier’s nor TFB’s shareholders have preemptive rights to subscribe to any additional securities that may be issued.

Liquidation Rights

If Glacier is liquidated, the holders of Glacier common stock are entitled to share, on a pro rata basis, Glacier’s remaining assets after provision for liabilities. The Glacier board of directors is authorized to determine the liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may be issued.

If TFB is liquidated, the holders of TFB common stock are entitled to share, on a pro rata basis, TFB’s remaining assets after provision for liabilities.

Assessments

All outstanding shares of Glacier common stock are, and the shares to be issued in the merger will be, fully paid and nonassessable. All outstanding shares of TFB common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Amendment of Articles and Bylaws

The Montana Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”) authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to make various changes of an administrative nature to its articles of incorporation. Other amendments to a corporation’s articles of incorporation must be recommended to the shareholders by the board of directors, unless the board determines that because of a conflict of interest or other special circumstances it should make no recommendation, and must be approved by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by each voting group that has a right to vote on the amendment. 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 ABCA regarding the amendment of a corporation’s articles of incorporation are substantially similar to those of the MBCA described above. TFB’s board of directors may make, amend, and repeal TFB’s bylaws unless the shareholders, in making, amending or repealing a particular bylaw, provide expressly that the directors may not amend or repeal such bylaw. Bylaws may also be made, amended or repealed by TFB’s shareholders at any annual or special meeting called for that purpose.

Board of Directors - Number of Directors

Glacier’s articles provide that the number of directors may not be less than 7 or more than 17. Glacier’s board currently consists of 10 members, all of whom serve annual terms.

TFB’s bylaws provide that the number of directors may not be less than five or more than 25. TFB’s board currently consists of 9 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 full extent permitted by the MBCA.

Under the ABCA, indemnification of directors and officers is authorized to cover judgments, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses arising out of proceedings 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, Arizona law requires indemnification if the director or officer prevails in a proceeding, whether on the merits or otherwise. TFB’s articles and TFB’s bylaws provide that TFB shall, subject to exceptions relating to intentional harm on the corporation or shareholders, unlawful distributions, intentional violation of criminal law, among other exceptions, indemnify its directors and officers against any obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty or fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses incurred with respect to a proceeding and includes obligations and expenses that have not yet been paid by the indemnified person but that have been or may be incurred. TFB’s articles and TFB’s bylaws also provide that no director or officer shall be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for money damages for any action taken or any failure to take any action as a director, except for liability: (a) for the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which the director is not entitled, (b) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or the shareholders, (c) an intentional violation of Section 10-833 of the ABCA and any amendment thereto or (d) an intentional violation of criminal law.

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 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 was favored by a majority of Glacier’s shareholders.

TFB’s articles do not contain provisions that could potentially deter any potentially unfriendly offer or other efforts to obtain control of TFB.

CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the Glacier common stock to be issued in the merger will be passed upon for Glacier by its special counsel, Moore, Cockrell, Goicoechea & Johnson, P.C, Kalispell, Montana.

Surrender of Certificates will not deprive the holder of any dividends or distributions that the holder is entitled to receive as a record holder of TFB Stock on a date before the Effective Date. When the holder surrenders his, her or its Certificates in exchange for GBCI Shares, the holder shall become a shareholder of record and shall receive the amount, without interest, of any cash dividends and any other distributions distributed on or after the Effective Date on the whole number of GBCI Shares into which the holder’s TFB Stock was converted at the Effective Time.

1.7.6 Checks in Other Names . Any Person requesting that a check for cash to be received in the Merger or cash in lieu of fractional shares be issued in a name other than the name in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange for the cash is registered must establish to GBCI’s satisfaction the right to receive this cash.

1.7.7 Undelivered Certificates . GBCI, at any time following payment for Dissenting Shares pursuant to the Appraisal Laws, may receive from the Exchange Fund cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration times the number of Dissenting Shares for which payment has been made. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by shareholders of TFB on a date that is six months after the Effective Date may be paid to GBCI, at GBCI’s election. To the extent so paid, holders of TFB Stock who have not, prior to such time, complied with the provisions of this Section 1.7 will, from such time forward, look only to GBCI for payment of the Merger Consideration, the cash in lieu of fractional shares, and/or unpaid dividends and distributions on the GBCI Shares deliverable with respect to each share of TFB Stock held by such holders as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest. Neither GBCI nor TFB will be liable to any holder of TFB Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

4.1.10 Acquisition Proposal . TFB and the Bank will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing. TFB agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries will, and TFB will direct and use its best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (including, without limitation, any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) not to initiate, solicit, encourage or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including, without limitation, any proposal or offer to shareholders of TFB) with respect to an Acquisition Event (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an “ Acquisition Proposal ”) or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt to make or implement an Acquisition Proposal; except that, in the event TFB receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal and the board of directors of TFB determines prior to approval of the Transaction by TFB’s shareholders, in good faith, that (a) such proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (b) fiduciary duties applicable to it require it to engage in negotiations with, or provide confidential information or data to, a Person in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, TFB may do so to the extent required by its fiduciary duties.

Within 15 days after the date on which TFB delivers all of the title reports to GBCI for its review, GBCI will inform TFB in writing whether, and in what manner, it objects to any of the exceptions to title shown on any of the title reports. TFB will, within 10 days of the date on which it receives the written notice of objection from GBCI, inform GBCI if there are any objections that it is unable to remove at or prior to Closing.

4.1.12 Directors’ and Officers’ Liability . Before the Effective Date, TFB will notify its directors’ and officers’ liability insurers of the Merger and of all pending or, to the Knowledge of TFB, threatened claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations asserted or claimed against any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.3 and known to TFB, or circumstances reasonably deemed by GBCI to be likely to give rise thereto, in accordance with terms and conditions of the applicable policies.

At GBCI’s reasonable request, the Bank will provide GBCI with current reports updating the information set forth in Schedule 3.1.16 .

4.1.14 Continuing Representation and Warranty . Neither TFB nor any of its Subsidiaries will do or cause to be done anything that would cause any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate if made at Closing, except as otherwise contemplated or required by this Agreement or consented to in writing by GBCI.

GBCI shall review such materials and, within two Business Days following receipt thereof, notify TFB as to whether GBCI accepts or disputes the amount of the Transaction Related Expenses, which such acceptance or dispute shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. If GBCI disputes such calculation in good faith, it shall describe in its notice its specific requested changes or adjustments. If GBCI and TFB are unable to resolve such dispute through good faith negotiations within three Business Days after delivery of GBCI’s notice of objection, then the parties shall mutually engage and submit such dispute to, and the same shall be finally resolved by Independent Accountants in accordance with the process set forth in Section 4.13. The Transaction Related Expenses as of Closing, as determined and agreed upon in writing by GBCI and TFB in accordance with this Section 4.14, are the “ Final Transaction Related Expenses .”

7.2.1 GBCI’s Right to Terminate . By specific action of its board of directors, GBCI may terminate this Agreement and the Merger by written notice to TFB on the Business Day immediately following the Determination Date, if the GBCI Average Closing Price is greater than $32.52 (without taking into account the declaration or effects of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction involving the issuance of GBCI Common Stock for which no consideration is received between the Execution Date and the Determination Date), unless TFB makes the election set forth in Section 7.2.2.

7.2.2 TFB’s Right to Adjust Consideration . If GBCI provides written notice to TFB in accordance with Section 7.2.1, then within three Business Days following TFB’s receipt of such notice, TFB may elect by written notice to GBCI to accept an adjustment to the Total Stock Consideration through the issuance of fewer GBCI Shares; in such event, the Per Share Stock Consideration shall be the number of GBCI Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the result of (A) the number of shares of TFB Stock outstanding at the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Per Share Stock Consideration, further multiplied by (C) $32.52, by (ii) the GBCI Average Closing Price (rounded up to the nearest whole share), and (b) the number of shares of TFB Stock outstanding at the Effective Time (prior to taking into account the declaration or effects of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction involving the issuance of GBCI Common Stock for which no consideration is received between the Execution Date and the Determination Date).

If TFB makes such election to accept a decrease in the number of GBCI Shares to be issued as the Per Share Stock Consideration, no termination will occur pursuant to Section 7.3.1, and this Agreement will remain in effect according to its terms (except as the Per Share Stock Consideration has been adjusted).

A-46

the period from the Execution Date through the Determination Date, underperformed the KBW Regional Banking Index by more than 10 percent, or (b) less than $22.62 (without in either case taking into account the declaration or effects of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction involving the issuance of GBCI Common Stock for which no consideration is received between the Execution Date and the Determination Date), unless GBCI makes the election set forth in Section 7.3.2.

7.3.2 GBCI’s Right to Adjust Consideration .

If GBCI makes such election to increase the Per Share Stock Consideration or Per Share Cash Consideration, no termination will occur pursuant to Section 7.3.1, and this Agreement will remain in effect according to its terms (except as the Per Share Stock Consideration and/or Per Share Cash Consideration has been adjusted).

B. The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the court in the county where a corporation’s principal office or, if none in this state, its known place of business is located.

C. The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unsettled parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares, and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition.

The dissenters are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

E. Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment either:

1. For the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of his shares plus interest exceeds the amount paid by the corporation.

2. For the fair value plus accrued interest of the dissenter’s after-acquired shares for which the corporation elected to withhold payment under section 10-1327.

10-1331. Court costs and attorney fees

A. The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under section 10-1330 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of any master appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court shall assess costs against all or some of the dissenters to the extent the court finds that the fair value does not materially exceed the amount offered by the corporation pursuant to sections 10-1325 and 10-1327 or that the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment under section 10-1328.

B - 8

B. The court may also assess the fees and expenses of attorneys and experts for the respective parties in amounts the court finds equitable either:

1. Against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if the court finds that the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of article 2 of this chapter.

2. Against the dissenter and in favor of the corporation if the court finds that the fair value does not materially exceed the amount offered by the corporation pursuant to sections 10-1325 and 10-1327.

3. Against either the corporation or a dissenter in favor of any other party if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.

C. If the court finds that the services of an attorney for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to these attorneys reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenters who were benefitted.

Members of the Board:

You have requested the opinion of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (“KBW” or “we”) as investment bankers as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the common shareholders of TFB Bancorp, Inc. (“TFB”) of the Merger Consideration (as defined below) to be received by such shareholders in the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of TFB with and into Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“Glacier”), pursuant to the Plan and Agreement of Merger (the “Agreement”) to be entered into by and among TFB, Foothills Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TFB (“Foothills Bank”), Glacier and Glacier Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glacier (“Glacier Bank”). Pursuant to the Agreement and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth therein, on the Effective Date (as defined in the Agreement), each share of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, of TFB (the “TFB Common Stock”) issued and outstanding on the Effective Date (excluding Proposed Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Agreement)) will be converted into the right to receive the following consideration (subject to adjustment as provided in the Agreement and as to which we express no opinion): (i) $7.36152 in cash (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) and (ii) 0.607387 of a share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Glacier (“Glacier Common Stock” and, such portion of a share of Glacier Common Stock issuable for one share of TFB Common Stock, 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 terms and conditions of the Merger are more fully set forth in the Agreement.

The Agreement further provides that, immediately following the Merger (or as soon as practicable thereafter) and pursuant to a separate merger agreement, Foothills Bank will be merged with and into Glacier Bank, with Glacier Bank as the surviving entity (such transaction, the “Bank Merger”).

KBW has acted as financial advisor to TFB and not as an advisor to or agent of any other person. As part of our investment banking business, we are continually engaged in the valuation of bank and bank holding company securities in connection with acquisitions, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for various other purposes. As specialists in the securities of banking companies, we have experience in, and knowledge of, the valuation of banking enterprises. In the ordinary course of their broker-dealer businesses, including pursuant to existing sales and trading relationships between certain KBW affiliates and Glacier, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time purchase securities from, and sell securities to, TFB and Glacier and, as market makers in securities, KBW and its affiliates may from time to time have a long or short position in, and buy or sell, debt or equity securities of TFB and Glacier for its and their own accounts and for the accounts of its and their respective customers and clients. We have acted exclusively for the board of directors of TFB (the “Board”) in rendering this opinion and will receive a fee from TFB for our services. A portion of our fee is payable upon the rendering of this opinion, and a significant portion is contingent upon the successful completion of the Merger. In addition, TFB has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities arising out of our engagement.

Other than in connection with this present engagement, in the past two years, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to TFB. In the past two years, KBW has not provided investment banking and financial advisory services to Glacier. We may in the future provide investment banking and financial advisory services to TFB or Glacier and receive compensation for such services.

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed, analyzed and relied upon material bearing upon the financial and operating condition of TFB and Glacier and bearing upon the Merger, including among other things, the following: (i) a draft of the Agreement dated November 8, 2016 (the most recent draft made available to us); (ii) the audited financial statements for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 of TFB; (iii) the unaudited quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 of TFB; (iv) the audited financial statements and the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 of Glacier; (v) the unaudited quarterly financial statements and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016 of Glacier; (vi) certain regulatory filings of TFB, Foothills Bank, Glacier and Glacier Bank, including (as applicable) the semi-annual reports on Form FR Y-9SP and quarterly reports on Form FR Y-9C and quarterly call reports required to be filed with respect to each semi-annual period and quarter (as the case may be) during the three year period ended December 31, 2015, the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the semi-annual period and quarter ended June 30, 2016 and the quarter ended September 30, 2016; (vii) certain other interim reports and other communications of TFB and Glacier to their respective shareholders; and (viii) other financial information concerning the businesses and operations of TFB and Glacier that was furnished to us by TFB and Glacier or which we were otherwise directed to use for purposes of our analyses. Our consideration of financial information and other factors that we deemed appropriate under the circumstances or relevant to our analyses included, among others, the following: (i) the historical and current financial position and results of operations of TFB and Glacier; (ii) the assets and liabilities of TFB and Glacier; (iii) the nature and terms of certain other merger transactions and business combinations in the banking industry; (iv) a comparison of certain financial and stock market information for TFB and Glacier with similar information for certain other companies the securities of which are publicly traded; (v) financial and operating forecasts and projections of TFB that were prepared by, and provided to us and discussed with us by, TFB management and that were used and relied upon by us at the direction of such management and with the consent of the Board; (vi) publicly available consensus “street estimates” of Glacier for 2016 through 2018, as well as assumed long-term Glacier growth rates provided to us by Glacier management, all of which information was discussed with us by such management and used and relied upon by us based on such discussions, at the direction of TFB management and with the consent of the Board; and (vii) estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the Merger on Glacier (including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the Merger) that were prepared by, and provided to and discussed with us by, the management of Glacier, and used and relied upon by us based on such discussions, at the direction of TFB management and with the consent of the Board. We have also performed such other studies and analyses as we considered appropriate and have taken into account our assessment of general economic, market and financial conditions and our experience in other transactions, as well as our experience in securities valuation and knowledge of the banking industry generally. We have also participated in discussions that were held with the respective managements of TFB and Glacier regarding the past and current business operations, regulatory relations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies and such other matters as we have deemed relevant to our inquiry. In addition, we have considered the results of the efforts undertaken by or on behalf of TFB, with our assistance, to solicit indications of interest from third parties regarding a potential transaction with TFB.

In conducting our review and arriving at our opinion, we have relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial and other information that was provided to us or that

was publicly available and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of any such information or assumed any responsibility or liability for such verification, accuracy or completeness. We have relied upon the management of TFB as to the reasonableness and achievability of the financial and operating forecasts and projections of TFB (and the assumptions and bases therefor) that were prepared by, and provided to us and discussed with us by, such management and we have assumed that such forecasts and projections were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of such management and that such forecasts and projections will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated by such management. We have further relied, with the consent of TFB, upon Glacier management as to the reasonableness and achievability of the publicly available consensus “street estimates” of Glacier (and the assumed Glacier long-term growth rates provided to us by such management) referred to above, as well as the estimates regarding certain pro forma financial effects of the Merger on Glacier (and the assumptions and bases therefor, including, without limitation, the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the Merger) referred to above, and we have assumed that all such information was reasonably prepared on bases reflecting, or in the case of the Glacier “street estimates” referred to above that such estimates were consistent with, the best currently available estimates and judgments of Glacier management and that the forecasts, projections and estimates reflected in such information will be realized in the amounts and in the time periods currently estimated.

It is understood that the portion of the foregoing financial information of TFB and Glacier that was provided to us was not prepared with the expectation of public disclosure, that all of the foregoing financial information, including the publicly available consensus “street estimates” of Glacier referred to above that we were directed to use, is based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain, including, without limitation, factors related to general economic and competitive conditions and that, accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from those set forth in such information. We have assumed, based on discussions with the respective managements of TFB and Glacier and with the consent of the Board, that all such information provides a reasonable basis upon which we could form our opinion and we express no view as to any such information or the assumptions or bases therefor. We have relied on all such information without independent verification or analysis and do not in any respect assume any responsibility or liability for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

We also assumed that there were no material changes in the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business or prospects of either TFB or Glacier since the date of the last financial statements of each such entity that were made available to us. We are not experts in the independent verification of the adequacy of allowances for loan and lease losses and we have assumed, without independent verification and with your consent, that the aggregate allowances for loan and lease losses for TFB and Glacier are adequate to cover such losses. In rendering our opinion, we have not made or obtained any evaluations or appraisals or physical inspection of the property, assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of TFB or Glacier, the collateral securing any of such assets or liabilities, or the collectability of any such assets, nor have we examined any individual loan or credit files, nor did we evaluate the solvency, financial capability or fair value of TFB or Glacier under any state or federal laws, including those relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other matters. Estimates of values of companies and assets do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which companies or assets may actually be sold. Because such estimates are inherently subject to uncertainty, we assume no responsibility or liability for their accuracy.

We have assumed, in all respects material to our analyses, the following: (i) that the Merger and any related transactions (including the Bank Merger) will be completed substantially in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement (the final terms of which we have assumed will not differ in any respect material to our analyses from the draft reviewed by us referred to above) with no adjustments to the Merger Consideration (other than as reflected in our analyses) and no additional payments in respect

of the TFB Common Stock; (ii) that the representations and warranties of each party in the Agreement and in all related documents and instruments referred to in the Agreement are true and correct; (iii) that each party to the Agreement and all related documents will perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party under such documents; (iv) that there are no factors that would delay or subject to any adverse conditions, any necessary regulatory or governmental approval for the Merger or any related transaction (including the Bank Merger) and that all conditions to the completion of the Merger and any related transaction will be satisfied without any waivers or modifications to the Agreement or any of the related documents; and (v) that in the course of obtaining the necessary regulatory, contractual, or other consents or approvals for the Merger and any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements, termination or other payments or amendments or modifications, will be imposed that will have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or financial condition of TFB, Glacier or the pro forma entity, or the contemplated benefits of the Merger, including the cost savings and related expenses expected to result or be derived from the Merger. We have assumed that the Merger will be consummated in a manner that complies with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations. We have further been advised by representatives of TFB that TFB has relied upon advice from its advisors (other than KBW) or other appropriate sources as to all legal, financial reporting, tax, accounting and regulatory matters with respect to TFB, Glacier, the Merger and any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), and the Agreement. KBW has not provided advice with respect to any such matters.

This opinion addresses only the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the holders of TFB Common Stock of the Merger Consideration to be received by such holders in the Merger. We express no view or opinion as to any other terms or aspects of the Merger or any term or aspect of any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), including without limitation, the form or structure of the Merger (including the form of Merger Consideration or the allocation thereof between cash and stock) or any related transaction, any consequences of the Merger or any related transaction to TFB, its shareholders, creditors or otherwise, or any terms, aspects, merits or implications of any employment, consulting, voting, support, shareholder or other agreements, arrangements or understandings contemplated or entered into in connection with the Merger or otherwise. Our opinion is necessarily based upon conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date hereof and the information made available to us through the date hereof. It is understood that subsequent developments may affect the conclusion reached in this opinion and that KBW does not have an obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion. Our opinion does not address, and we express no view or opinion with respect to, (i) the underlying business decision of TFB to engage in the Merger or enter into the Agreement, (ii) the relative merits of the Merger as compared to any strategic alternatives that are, have been or may be available to or contemplated by TFB or the Board, (iii) the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to any of TFB’s officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the compensation to the holders of TFB Common Stock, (iv) the effect of the Merger or any related transaction on, or the fairness of the consideration to be received by, holders of any class of securities of TFB (other than the holders of TFB Common Stock, solely with respect to the Merger Consideration as described herein and not relative to the consideration to be received by holders of any other class of securities) or holders of any class of securities of Glacier or any other party to any transaction contemplated by the Agreement, (v) whether Glacier has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of funds to enable it to pay the aggregate amount of the Per Share Cash Consideration to the holders of TFB Common Stock at the closing of the Merger, (vi) whether TFB will have the ability to pay any special dividend to holders of TFB Common Stock in accordance with the Agreement, or the merits of any such dividend payment (including relative to any alternatives that may be available to TFB), (vii) the actual value of Glacier Common Stock to be issued in the Merger, (viii) the prices, trading range or volume at which Glacier Common Stock will trade following the public

announcement of the Merger or the consummation of the Merger, (ix) any advice or opinions provided by any other advisor to any of the parties to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by the Agreement, or (x) any legal, regulatory, accounting, tax or similar matters relating to TFB, Glacier, their respective shareholders, or relating to or arising out of or as a consequence of the Merger or any related transaction (including the Bank Merger), including whether or not the Merger would qualify as a tax-free reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes.

This opinion is for the information of, and is directed to, the Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with its consideration of the financial terms of the Merger. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation to the Board as to how it should vote on the Merger, or to any holder of TFB Common Stock or any shareholder of any other entity as to how to vote in connection with the Merger or any other matter, nor does it constitute a recommendation regarding whether or not any such shareholder should enter into a voting, shareholders’, or affiliates’ agreement with respect to the Merger or exercise any dissenters’ or appraisal rights that may be available to such shareholder.

This opinion has been reviewed and approved by our Fairness Opinion Committee in conformity with our policies and procedures established under the requirements of Rule 5150 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of TFB Common Stock in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

Very truly yours,

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Sections 35-1-451 through 35-1-459 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

(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;

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

(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; 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 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.

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

II - 1

(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.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(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 Date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(e) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
