Similarly, as part of the Thomas Scott family succession planning, Jonathan Scott, his son, agreed to become a Reporting Person.

The Scott Family FIBK Shareholder Group (“SFFSG”) was established effective February 21, 2020. The SFFSG members are subject to and bound by a charter (the “Charter”) that was adopted for the purposes of formalizing the efforts of the SFFSG members to (a) reach consensus on matters of importance to them with respect to the Issuer, including matters requiring the vote of the shareholders of the Issuer, and (b) provide a vehicle to communicate such consensus views in a timely and efficient manner to the Issuer’s independent directors and senior management team. The SFFSG members believe that this arrangement will enable more effective dialogue with such directors and management. The SFFSG members have entered into confidentiality agreements with the Issuer and have agreed to abide by the terms of the Issuer’s insider trading policy with respect to the information they may receive from time to time by the Issuer as a result of this arrangement. By forming the SFFSG, the Reporting Persons, which own collectively and in the aggregate more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Issuer, also intend to act in a manner such that the Issuer continues to qualify for the “controlled company” exemption under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

While the goal of the SFFSG is to act collectively and in a unified manner on issues of importance to them regarding the Issuer, the Charter does not bind the SFFSG members to vote in unison the shares of Common Stock beneficially held by them. In addition, the Charter does not restrict the ability of any SFFSG member to dispose of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such member.

Other than in connection with the contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to securities of the Issuer described in Item 6 below, including the Scott Family Shareholders’ Agreement among Scott family members dated


CUSIP Nos.: 32055Y 201; 32055Y 300

Page 14 of 18 Pages

October 29, 2010 (the “Shareholder Agreement”), and as described above in this Item 4, there are no other plans or proposals that would result in the acquisition of additional securities or disposition of additional securities of the Issuer.

The Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described herein for investment purposes and they intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including, without limitation, engaging in communications with management and the board of directors of the Issuer, engaging in discussions with shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties about the Issuer or certain of its businesses, making recommendations or proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board of director structure (including board of director composition), potential business combinations or dispositions involving the Issuer or certain of its businesses, or suggestions for improving the Issuer’s financial and/or operational performance, purchasing additional shares of Common Stock and/or warrants, selling some or all of its shares of Common Stock and/or warrants, or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.
