STEVENSON, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The securities litigation law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of state law by the Board of Directors of Cascade Bancorp (NASDAQ: CACB) (“Cascade” or the “Company”) relating to the proposed buyout of Cascade by First Interstate BancSystem Inc.

Under the terms of the agreement, Cascade shareholders are anticipated to receive 0.14864 shares of First Interstate Class A common stock and $1.91 in cash in exchange for each share of Cascade common stock held.
