(NASDAQ:QCRH) today announced that on February 11, 2016 the Company&#8217;s board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.04 per share payable on April 6, 2016, to stockholders of record on March 18, 2016.&#160; As previously announced in November, starting with this first quarter dividend, the board of directors has resolved to evaluate paying dividends on a quarterly basis, as opposed to the Company&#8217;s prior practice of semi-annual dividends.&#160; This first quarterly dividend payment of $0.04 is the same amount as each of the Company&#8217;s prior semi-annual dividends in 2015.<br></p>  <p>QCR Holdings, Inc., headquartered in Moline, Illinois, is a relationship-driven $2.6 billion asset, multi-bank holding company, which serves the Quad City, Cedar Rapids, and Rockford communities through its wholly owned subsidiary banks.&#160; Quad City Bank &amp; Trust Company, which is based in Bettendorf, Iowa, and commenced operations in 1994, Cedar Rapids Bank &amp; Trust Company, which is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and commenced operations in 2001, and Rockford Bank &amp; Trust Company, which is based in Rockford, Illinois, and commenced operations in 2005, provide full-service commercial and consumer banking and trust and wealth management services.&#160; Quad City Bank &amp; Trust Company also provides correspondent banking services and engages in commercial leasing through its wholly owned subsidiary, m2 Lease Funds, LLC, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.&#160; With the acquisition of Community National Bancorporation in 2013, the Company now serves the Waterloo/Cedar Falls, Iowa community through Community Bank &amp; Trust, a division of Cedar Rapids Bank &amp; Trust Company.&#160;</p>  <p><strong><em>Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.&#160; </em></strong><em>This document contains, and future oral and written statements of the Company and its management may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company.&#160; Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and assumptions of the Company&#8217;s management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as &#8220;believe,&#8221; &#8220;expect,&#8221; &#8220;anticipate,&#8221; &#8220;predict,&#8221; &#8220;suggest,&#8221; &#8220;appear,&#8221; &#8220;plan,&#8221; &#8220;intend,&#8221; &#8220;estimate,&#8221; &#8221;annualize,&#8221;

</em><br><em>A number of factors, many of which are beyond the ability of the Company to control or predict, could cause actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements.&#160; These factors include, among others, the following: (i)&#160;the strength of the local and national economy; (ii)&#160;the economic impact of any future terrorist threats and attacks, and the response of the United States to any such threats and attacks; (iii)&#160;changes in state and federal laws, regulations and governmental policies concerning the Company&#8217;s general business, including the Basel III regulatory capital reforms, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations issued thereunder; (iv) changes in interest rates and prepayment rates of the Company&#8217;s assets; (v)&#160;increased competition in the financial services sector and the inability to attract new customers; (vi)&#160;changes in technology and the ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic systems; (vii) the integration of acquired entities; (viii)&#160;the loss of key executives or employees; (ix)&#160;changes in consumer spending; (x)&#160; unexpected outcomes of existing or new litigation involving the Company; and (xi)&#160;changes in accounting policies and practices.&#160; These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.&#160; Additional information concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect the Company&#8217;s financial results, is included in the Company&#8217;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.</em></p></p><p>Contact:<br>Todd&#160;A.&#160;Gipple<br>Executive&#160;Vice&#160;President<br>Chief&#160;Operating&#160;Officer<br>Chief&#160;Financial&#160;Officer<br>(309)&#160;743-7745<br></p></body></html>
