Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

          Effective January 1, 2020, Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Eagle”), completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Western Holding Company of Wolf Point (“WHC”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 8, 2019, by and among Eagle, Eagle’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana, a Montana chartered commercial bank (“Opportunity Bank”), WHC and WHC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Western Bank of Wolf Point, a Montana chartered commercial bank (“Western Bank”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), WHC merged with and into Eagle, with Eagle continuing as the surviving corporation. Immediately following the Effective Time, Western Bank merged with and into Opportunity Bank, with Opportunity Bank surviving and continuing its corporate existence under the name “Opportunity Bank of Montana.”

          Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of WHC common stock prior to the Effective Time was converted into the right to receive (i) 179.44464 shares of Eagle common stock with cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of common stock of Eagle and (ii) $2,946.51 in cash. Each outstanding share of Eagle common stock remains outstanding and is unaffected by the Merger. As a result of the Merger, Eagle will issue approximately [395,858] shares of Eagle common stock and will pay approximately $6.5 million to the former holders of WHC common stock.
