Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On August 8, 2023, Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“GBCI”) issued a press release regarding the matters described in Item 8.01 of this current report on Form 8-K, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein is an investor presentation dated August 8, 2023, that will be used by GBCI in its presentation regarding the matters described in Item 8.01 of this current report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of GBCI under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 8, 2023, GBCI and its wholly owned subsidiary, Glacier Bank, entered into a Plan and Agreement of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Community Financial Group, Inc. (“CFGW”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wheatland Bank. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, CFGW will merge with and into GBCI, with GBCI as the surviving entity (the “Holding Company Merger”). Immediately thereafter, Wheatland Bank will merge with and into Glacier Bank, with Glacier Bank surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of GBCI (the “Bank Merger”). Following the Bank Merger, the branches of Wheatland Bank will operate as branches of Glacier Bank under a new bank division. Glacier Bank’s existing North Cascades Bank division will be combined with this division.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the directors and certain executive officers of CFGW entered into voting agreements with GBCI pursuant to which each such director and executive officer, in his or her capacity as a shareholder, has agreed, among other things, to vote his or her shares of CFGW common stock in favor of the proposed transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the date and time when the Holding Company Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”), each share of CFGW stock issued and outstanding will be converted into and represent the right to receive from GBCI merger consideration in the form of 1.0931 shares of GBCI common stock.
It is estimated that the merger consideration will have a total aggregate value of $80.6 million (based on the closing price of $33.97 for GBCI common stock on August 7, 2023).
Consummation of the transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals, CFGW shareholder approval, and other customary conditions of closing. It is anticipated that the closing of the transaction will take place late in the Fourth Quarter 2023. For additional information regarding the terms of the proposed transaction, reference is made to the press release dated August 8, 2023, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF COMMUNITY FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON KALISPELL, MONTANA (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (“Glacier” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GBCI) today announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Community Financial Group, Inc. (“CFGW”) (OTC: CFGW), the bank holding company for Wheatland Bank, a leading Eastern Washington community bank headquartered in Spokane. The acquisition marks Glacier’s 25th acquisition since 2000 and its 13th announced transaction in the past 10 years. As of June 30, 2023, CFGW had total assets of $754 million, total loans of $475 million and total deposits of $609 million. The Board of Directors of Glacier and CFGW unanimously approved the transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, CFGW shareholder approval, and other customary conditions of closing. The definitive agreement provides that upon closing of the transaction, CFGW shareholders are to receive 1.0931 shares of Glacier stock for each CFGW share (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances). Based on the closing price of $33.97 for Glacier shares on August 7, 2023, the transaction would result in an aggregate value of $80.6 million (inclusive of the value to CFGW stock option holders) and per share value of $37.13 per CFGW share. Upon closing of the transaction, which is anticipated to take place in the fourth quarter of 2023, a new bank division, Wheatland Bank, will be formed. The existing North Cascades Bank division will be combined with this division, which will be led by Susan Horton, President and CEO of Wheatland Bank. "We are excited and proud to welcome Wheatland to the Glacier family of banks,” said Randy Chesler, Glacier's President and CEO. “Wheatland’s footprint complements our current presence in Eastern Washington, a market which has been experiencing tremendous growth. We have truly admired the impact this franchise has had on its community, and are focused on maintaining and growing the relationships it has developed with its customers.” Chesler also noted that “This acquisition continues our history of consistently adding high quality community banks to our proven banking model. We look forward to the value this new division will create for our communities and shareholders under Susan’s experience and successful leadership.”
Susan Horton, President and CEO of CFGW, commented, “Glacier is truly the partner we have always dreamed of and we couldn’t be more excited to join the Glacier family of banks. We will have the strength and depth of resources of a $28 billion asset bank, expand our local Wheatland footprint and immediately double in size after integrating the North Cascades Bank division, to become a Top 5 eastern Washington bank. This partnership will cement Wheatland Bank’s legacy, strengthen our position in the marketplace and create more opportunity for all stakeholders.” Glacier management will review additional information regarding the transaction on a conference call beginning at 9:00 a.m. Mountain Time on Wednesday, August 9, 2023.
