Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) solely to amend and supplement Item 9.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by First Interstate BancSystem, Inc.

As noted below, First Interstate has determined that the financial statements of Cascade and the related pro forma information are not required in the Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended by this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, because “substantially the same” information was previously reported, as contemplated under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus forming a part of First Interstate’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333-215749), initially filed on January 26, 2017 and declared effective by the Commission on April 7, 2017 (the “Registration Statement”). The unaudited pro forma financial information for the periods identified below are included for informational purposes.

EX-99.1

Unaudited Combined Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Data

The unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, giving effect to the merger of First Interstate with Cascade. The unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet combines the historical information of First Interstate and Cascade as of March 31, 2017 and assumes that the merger was completed on that date. The unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma income statement combines the historical financial information of First Interstate and Cascade and give effect to the merger as if it had been completed as of the beginning of 2016. The unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition had the merger been completed on the dates described above, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma financial information. Certain reclassifications have been made to Cascade’s historical financial information to conform to First Interstate’s presentation of financial information.

The actual value of First Interstate Class A common stock recorded as consideration in the merger is based on the closing price of First Interstate Class A common stock on the date prior of the merger being completed. The merger was completed as of May 30, 2017. For the pro forma financial information, the fair value of First Interstate Class A common stock that was issued in connection with the merger was based on First Interstate’s closing stock price of $34.30 as of May 30, 2017.

The pro forma financial information includes estimated adjustments, including adjustments to record assets and liabilities of Cascade at their respective fair values and represents the pro forma estimates by First Interstate based on available fair value information as of the date of the merger date. In some cases, where noted, more recent information has been used to support estimated adjustments in the pro forma financial information.

The pro forma adjustments included in this section are subject to change depending on changes in interest rates and the components of assets and liabilities and as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price for the merger will be determined after completion of thorough analyses to determine the fair value of Cascade tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the merger is completed. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to other assets and liabilities and the residual goodwill value, and may impact First Interstate’s income statement due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities. Any changes to Cascade’s shareholders’ equity, including results of operations from March 31, 2017 through the date the merger is completed, will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a lower or higher amount of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented in this document.

First Interstate anticipates that the merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses. The unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma financial data, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during these periods.

The unaudited combined condensed consolidated pro forma financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of First Interstate and Cascade, which are incorporated in this document by reference.

(Dollars in thousands)

** This column removes the unamortized purchase accounting adjustments from prior acquisitions executed by Cascade.

(1) The pro forma adjustment of $165,867 includes $155,029 of cash consideration paid to acquire Cascade at a stated price of $1.91 for each share of Cascade common stock outstanding as of the balance sheet date and additional cash adjustments related to the cash pay-out of Cascade’s stock options and restricted stock units. Also included in the adjustments is $10,838 of cash paid for acquisition costs.

(2) Represents the estimated $4,876 fair value adjustment to Cascade’s investment portfolio.

(3) The pro forma adjustment of $6,346 includes an accretable component of $29,802 and a non-accretable component of $1,901 offset by the removal of Cascade’s pre-existing allowance for loan loss of $25,357, which is not carried over.

(4) Represents a $1,315 write-up of the premises and equipment based upon fair value estimates.

(5) Represents an incremental fair value adjustment for Cascade’s mortgage servicing assets of $1,378.

(6) Represents adjustments in the net deferred tax assets of $15,268 resulting from the fair value adjustments related to the acquired assets and liabilities, identifiable intangibles and other deferred tax items. The actual tax liability adjustment will depend on facts and circumstances existing at the completion of the merger. The existing Cascade deferred tax asset of $7,068 resulting from fair value adjustments is not carried over.

(7) Represents the recognition of the fair value of the core deposit intangible asset and other identifiable intangible assets. The core deposits intangible asset approximates 1.8% of estimated core deposit liabilities assumed. Core deposits are defined as total deposits less time deposits. The existing Cascade core deposit intangibles of $11,943 are not carried over.

(8) Calculated to reflect the acquisition accounting adjustments related to the acquisition of Cascade. The consideration to be paid to acquire Cascade consists of the right to receive 0.14864 shares of First Interstate Class A common stock and $1.91 in cash for each issued and outstanding share of Cascade common stock.
