Item 8.01. Other Events.

Effective as of the close of business on December 31, 2015, the Company’s subsidiary, NBH Bank, N.A., converted from a national association to a Colorado state-chartered bank and changed its name to NBH Bank.  Each of NBH Bank’s brand names (Bank Midwest, Community Banks of Colorado and Hillcrest Bank) stayed the same. NBH Bank is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System through the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The conversion is not expected to affect the bank’s clients in any way, and they continue to receive the same protection on deposits through the FDIC.

 

The press release issued by the Company in connection with the charter conversion is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
