This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 3b-6 promulgated thereunder, that involve inherent
risks and uncertainties. Any statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, strategies,
beliefs, or future performance or events constitute forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, estimates and other important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from any results, performance or events expressed or implied by
such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include but are not
limited to statements about revenues, income from the origination and sale of loans, net interest margin, quarterly provisions for
loan losses, non-interest expense, loan growth, non-performing assets and net charge-off
of loans, the benefits of the business combination transaction involving First Interstate
BancSystem, Inc. (FIBK) and Mountain West Financial Corp (MTWF), including future financial and operating results, the combined
company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, and other statements that are not
historical facts. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, including but not limited to the following: the factors described in
our Form 10-K and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”), including under the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” the possibility
that the merger does not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder or
other approvals and other conditions to closing are not received or satisfied on a timely basis
or at all; the risk that the benefits from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than
expected, including as a result of changes in general economic and market conditions, interest and
exchange rates, monetary policy, laws and regulations and their enforcement, and the degree of
competition in the geographic and business areas in which FIBK and MTWF operate; the ability to promptly and effectively
integrate the businesses of FIBK and MTWF; the reaction of the companies’ customers, employees
and counterparties to the transaction; and the diversion of management time on
merger-related issues. The risk factors described in Forms 10-K are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause our actual
results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any of
the forward-looking statement contained in this presentation. Other unknown or
unpredictable factors also could affect our results. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly
qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they are made and we do not undertake or assume any obligation to update publicly any of these
statements to reflect actual results, new information or future events, changes in assumptions or
changes in other factors affecting forward-looking statements, except to the extent
required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make
additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.
Additional Information About the Merger and Where to Find it
FIBK intends to file with the SEC a proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials in
connection with the merger, including the definitive merger agreement. The proxy
statement/prospectus will be mailed to the shareholders of MTWF. Investors are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and the
other relevant materials when they become available because they will contain important information
about MTWF, FIBK and the merger. The proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials (when they become available), and any
other documents filed by FIBK with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s
web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, investors may obtain free copies of the documents filed by FIBK with the SEC by
