NEW BORROWER AND BANK EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
This document, which forms part of a registration statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC by QCR (File No.333-219493), constitutes a prospectus of QCR under Section5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of QCR, which we refer to as QCR common stock, to be issued pursuant to the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated as of June8, 2017, by and between QCR and Guaranty, as it may be amended from time to time, which we refer to as the purchase and assumption agreement. This document also constitutes a proxy statement of Guaranty under Section14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act. It also constitutes a notice of meeting with respect to the special meeting at which Guaranty shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the approval of the purchase and assumption agreement.
For the reasons discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, the board of directors of Guaranty unanimously determined that the purchase and assumption agreement and the transactions contemplated therein are in the best interests of Guaranty and its shareholders, and unanimously adopted and approved the purchase and assumption agreement. The board of directors of Guaranty unanimously recommends a vote FOR the sale proposal.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the purchase and assumption agreement. This summary does not purport to describe all the terms of the purchase and assumption agreement and is qualified by reference to the complete text of the purchase and assumption agreement, which is attached as AppendixA to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus. You should read the purchase and assumption agreement completely and carefully as it, rather than this description, is the legal document that governs the sale.
If the QCR common stock price is greater than $51.87, the aggregate share amount will be the number of shares of QCR common stock equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole share) obtained by dividing the sale consideration by $51.87. The stock portion of the sale consideration is expected to be approximately 631,304 shares of QCR common stock with an aggregate market value of approximately $29.4million, based on a closing price of QCR common stock of $46.50 on June8, 2017, the last full trading day before the public announcement of the purchase and assumption agreement. Based on a closing price of QCR common stock of $44.70 on August9, 2017, the latest practicable date before the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the stock portion of the sale consideration would equal approximately 656,726shares of QCR common stock with an aggregate market value of approximately $24.9million. The market price of QCR common stock will fluctuate between the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and the date of completion of the sale and the dissolution. No assurance can be given concerning the market price of QCR common stock before or after the effective time of the sale or the dissolution. Changes in the market price of QCR common stock prior to the completion of the sale and the dissolution will affect the market value of the sale consideration that Guaranty will receive and the market value of the liquidation proceeds that Guaranty shareholders will receive.
agree to take, make any commitment to take, or adopt any resolutions of the board of directors of Guaranty or allow the board of any subsidiary to take or adopt any resolutions in support of, any of the actions prohibited by the purchase and assumption agreement. Conduct of Business of QCR. Under the purchase and assumption agreement, in general, QCR is required to (i)use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve intact its business organization and advantageous business relationships, and (iii)take no action that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay the ability of QCR or Guaranty to obtain any of the requisite regulatory approvals, to perform its covenants and agreements under the purchase and assumption agreement or to consummate the contemplated transactions.
However, the purchase and assumption agreement provides that Guaranty may furnish such information pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement and engage in such negotiations or discussions in response to an unsolicited acquisition proposal, if the board of directors of Guaranty determines in good faith and after consultation with outside counsel that such proposal constitutes or is reasonably expected to result in a superior proposal. If the board of directors of Guaranty determines after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor, that such acquisition proposal constitutes a superior proposal, the board may withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify the boards recommendation to Guaranty shareholders with respect to the approval and adoption of the purchase and assumption agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and/or terminate the purchase and assumption agreement. However, the Guaranty board of directors may not terminate the purchase and assumption agreement for a superior proposal unless it has first notified QCR and otherwise negotiated with QCR so that the sale may be effected.

This opinion is being rendered to you in connection with the filing by QCR Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) of a registration statement on FormS-4 (the Registration Statement), pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act), relating to the registration of shares (the Registered Shares) of the Companys common stock, par value $1.00 per share (Common Stock).
