On August 20, 2015 and effective September 1, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc.

In addition, the Bylaws of the Bank were amended to provide for two new Bank director positions which will be filled by Ms. Chemodurow and Ms. Cape. See Item 5.03 below.
The newly appointed directors of the Company will serve until the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders at which time it is expected that Ms. Chemodurow and Ms. Cape will be nominees of the Board for election by shareholders for a one year and two year term, respectively. Ms. Chemodurow and Ms. Cape will be appointed to Board Committees in the near future.
Ms. Chemodurow and Ms. Cape will be compensated through customary board fees and in accordance with the Company's Stock Incentive Plan, which is described in greater detail in the Company's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to its 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2015.
