Item 5.03  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On January 27, 2014, the Board of Directors of HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the mandatory director retirement provision contained in Article II, Section 12 of the Company’s bylaws.

Article II, Section 12 generally prohibits a person who is 70 years of age or older and who is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries from being elected, re-elected, appointed or re-appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company or from continuing to serve as a director beyond the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company immediately following the non-employee director becoming age 70, provided that in the case of a non-employee director who was serving as a director as of a specified date (the “Exemption Eligibility Date”) and is between 70 and 74 years of age, the Board has the discretion to exempt the director from the mandatory retirement provision until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company.  The amendment changed the Exemption Eligibility Date from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2013 and made several other clarifying, non-substantive changes to Article II, Section 12.

Article II, Section 12 continues to prohibit, as it did prior to the amendment, a person who is 75 years of age or older and who is an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries from being elected, re-elected, appointed or re-appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company or from continuing to serve as a director beyond the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company immediately following the director becoming age 75.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Company’s amended and restated bylaws, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
