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

On November 25, 2014 the Board of Directors of Cascade Bancorp (the "Company") approved and adopted Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company in order to amend Article II, Section 2 of the Company’s Bylaws to increase the minimum number of members of the Board of Directors of the Company to nine (9) and the maximum number of members of the Board of Directors of the Company to fifteen (15), with the number of directors as fixed from time to time by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Bylaws previously provided for a minimum of seven (7) members of the Board of Directors and a maximum number of twelve (12) members of the Board of Directors. The Company has currently fixed the number of members of its Board of Directors at twelve (12) members. In addition, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company also include an amendment to Article II, Section 15 to remove the restriction on directors of the Company serving past the age of 70. The Company’s Bylaws previously stipulated that unless waived by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the directors, no person over the age of 70 could serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws became effective the same day as adoption.

The preceding summary of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in connection with, the complete copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.3 which is incorporated herein by reference.
