<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On August 14, 2012, Cascade Bancorp (NASDAQ: CACB) (&ldquo;Bancorp&rdquo;)
issued a press release announcing it filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the naming of
Ryan R. Patrick as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the appointment of Charles &ldquo;Chip&rdquo; Reeves as Executive
Vice President, Chief Banking Officer of Bank of the Cascades (the &ldquo;Bank&rdquo;), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bancorp (Bancorp

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in">As previously disclosed in the Current Report
on Form 8-K that we filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on August 14, 2012, subsequent to the filing of the Company&rsquo;s
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, but prior to filing the Company&rsquo;s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2012, management discovered an error in the computation of the Bank&rsquo;s regulatory capital for purposes of the Bank&rsquo;s
FDIC Call Reports. This Call Report error affected the Bank&rsquo;s regulatory capital disclosures in certain of the Company&rsquo;s
prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission because those disclosures were taken from the Call Reports. The error
affected disclosures in the Company&rsquo;s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and the Forms 10-Q for the fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, and March 31, 2012 (collectively, the &ldquo;Prior Reports&rdquo;)
including disclosures about the Bank&rsquo;s compliance with a regulatory order applicable to the Bank.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0in">The correction of the error had no effect
on the Company&rsquo;s consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders&rsquo; equity, or the amounts or disclosure
of the regulatory capital or regulatory capital ratios of Bancorp as included in the Prior Reports. The correction does decrease
the regulatory capital and regulatory capital ratios of the Bank when compared with the previously reported regulatory capital
and regulatory capital ratios included in the Prior Reports. The Company believes the error will not affect the Bank status with
respect to its outstanding regulatory agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (&ldquo;FDIC&rdquo;) or the Oregon
Department of Consumer and Business Services, Division of Finance &amp; Corporate Securities (&ldquo;DFCS&rdquo;). Please see the
Company&rsquo;s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14,
2012 for additional information regarding correction of the error.</P>

FDIC and DFCS of an order to cease and desist (the &ldquo;Order&rdquo;). <FONT STYLE="color: black">Based upon the preliminary
results of a recent FDIC and DFCS examination, management believes that the Order will be lifted. Management also believes that
the error in the Bank&rsquo;s Call Reports did not contravene the Order and that the Bank is in substantial compliance with the
requirements of the Order currently and as to periods covered by the Prior Reports. &nbsp;Removal of the Order requires various
levels of review within the FDIC and DFCS, and removal is expected to require at least 60 days to be completed. &nbsp;Further,
management believes that if the Order is removed the Bank may remain subject to an informal supervisory directive or memorandum
of understanding, the terms of which would likely continue to impose certain limitations on the Bank&rsquo;s operations.</FONT></P>

Filing of Second Quarter Results
On August 14, 2012, Cascade Bancorp (NASDAQ: CACB) ("Bancorp")
issued a press release announcing it filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the naming of
Ryan R. Patrick as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the appointment of Charles "Chip" Reeves as Executive
Vice President, Chief Banking Officer of Bank of the Cascades (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bancorp (Bancorp
and the Bank collectively, the "Company"). A copy of the press release is included with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
Corrections to Previously
Reported Financial Information
As previously disclosed in the Current Report
on Form 8-K that we filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on August 14, 2012, subsequent to the filing of the Company's
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, but prior to filing the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2012, management discovered an error in the computation of the Bank's regulatory capital for purposes of the Bank's
FDIC Call Reports. This Call Report error affected the Bank's regulatory capital disclosures in certain of the Company's
prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission because those disclosures were taken from the Call Reports. The error
affected disclosures in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and the Forms 10-Q for the fiscal
quarters ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, September 30, 2011, and March 31, 2012 (collectively, the "Prior Reports")
including disclosures about the Bank's compliance with a regulatory order applicable to the Bank.
The correction of the error had no effect
on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, statements of operations, stockholders' equity, or the amounts or disclosure
of the regulatory capital or regulatory capital ratios of Bancorp as included in the Prior Reports. The correction does decrease
the regulatory capital and regulatory capital ratios of the Bank when compared with the previously reported regulatory capital
and regulatory capital ratios included in the Prior Reports. The Company believes the error will not affect the Bank status with
respect to its outstanding regulatory agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or the Oregon
Department of Consumer and Business Services, Division of Finance & Corporate Securities ("DFCS"). Please see the
Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14,
2012 for additional information regarding correction of the error.
Status of Regulatory Order
On August 27, 2009, the Bank stipulated to the issuance by the
FDIC and DFCS of an order to cease and desist (the "Order").
Based upon the preliminary
results of a recent FDIC and DFCS examination, management believes that the Order will be lifted. Management also believes that
the error in the Bank's Call Reports did not contravene the Order and that the Bank is in substantial compliance with the
requirements of the Order currently and as to periods covered by the Prior Reports.  Removal of the Order requires various
levels of review within the FDIC and DFCS, and removal is expected to require at least 60 days to be completed.  Further,
management believes that if the Order is removed the Bank may remain subject to an informal supervisory directive or memorandum
of understanding, the terms of which would likely continue to impose certain limitations on the Bank's operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve uncertainties and risks. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning
our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues, future results and performance, expectations, plans or
intentions relating to acquisitions and other matters, business trends and other information that is not historical, including
statements regarding estimates of our future financial results. When used in this press release, words such as "estimates,"
"expects," "anticipates," "projects," "plans," "intends," "believes,"
"forecasts" and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, expected actions with respect to the Order and estimates of our
future financial results, are based upon our expectations at the time we make them and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs
and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance
that management's expectations, beliefs and estimates will result or be achieved. The Company's actual results may differ from
our expectations, beliefs and estimates. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform such statements
to actual results or events and do not intend to do so.
