DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 Registration Statement relates to each Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on September 28, 2001 (File No. 333-70390), May 21, 2008 (File No. 333-151065) and June 10, 2011 (File No. 333-174835), and is being filed for the sole purpose of removing from registration any unsold shares of the Registrant’s common stock (“Common Stock”), and any related plan interests previously registered under any of the foregoing registration statements and that may have been acquired by the Registrant’s employees pursuant to elective purchases of Common Stock under the Cascade Bancorp Employees’ 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), that may have been issuable pursuant to the Cascade Bancorp 2008 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”) or the 401(k) Plan.

On May 30, 2017, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 17, 2016, by and between the Registrant and First Interstate BancSystem, Inc., a Montana corporation (“FIBK”), the Registrant merged with and into FIBK, with FIBK as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its Common Stock under the 2008 Plan and no shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock are reserved for future issuance under the 2008 Plan. Furthermore, the Registrant has terminated all offerings of its Common Stock and related plan interests under the 401(k) Plan and no shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock are reserved for future issuance under the 401(k) Plan. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the foregoing registration statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all of such securities registered with respect to the 2008 Plan and the 401(k) Plan but which remain unsold and unissued under the foregoing registration statements in connection therewith as of the date hereof.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the identified Registration Statements to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Billings, State of Montana, on June 23, 2017.
