<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=1><B>DEAR SPRINGFIELD STOCKHOLDERS:</B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=1>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
board of directors of Springfield Bancshares,&nbsp;Inc. (which we refer to as "Springfield") and QCR Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. (which we refer to as "QCR") have each unanimously
approved a transaction that will result in the merger of Springfield with and into QCR (which we refer to as the "merger"). QCR will be the surviving bank holding company in the merger. If the merger
is completed, each issued and outstanding share of Springfield common stock will be converted into the right to receive (i)&nbsp;$1.50 in cash; and (ii)&nbsp;0.3060 shares of QCR common stock
(which we refer to as the "exchange ratio"), subject to possible adjustment, including a possible reduction to the cash portion of the merger consideration to the extent that Springfield's adjusted
tangible stockholders' equity at the month-end prior to the closing date is less than the applicable threshold described on page 62 of this proxy statement/prospectus, and with cash paid in lieu of
fractional shares. As of March&nbsp;31, 2018, Springfield's tangible stockholders' equity was approximately $44.4&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=1>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QCR's
common stock currently trades on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "QCRH." Springfield common stock is privately held and not traded in any public market. Based on the
closing price of QCR common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market of
$44.45 as of April&nbsp;17, 2018, the trading day immediately preceding the public announcement of the merger, the implied merger consideration that a Springfield stockholder would be entitled to
receive for each share of Springfield common stock owned would be $15.10 with an aggregate transaction value of approximately $83.5&nbsp;million. Based on the closing price of QCR common stock as
reported on the Nasdaq Global Market of $47.35 as of May&nbsp;15, 2018, the latest practicable date before the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the implied merger consideration that a
Springfield stockholder would be entitled to receive for each share of Springfield common stock owned would be $15.99 with an aggregate transaction value of approximately $88.4&nbsp;million. After
the merger is completed, we expect that current QCR stockholders will own approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, and current Springfield stockholders will
own approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=1>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Among
other termination rights described in this proxy statement/prospectus, Springfield is entitled to terminate the merger agreement if the weighted average daily closing sales price
of QCR common stock for the 20 trading days ending on the fifteenth day preceding the closing date of the merger (i)&nbsp;is less than $38.19 per share and (ii)&nbsp;represents a percentage
change, relative to a base value of $44.93 per share of QCR common stock, that is more than 15% below the percentage change in the Nasdaq Bank Index, measured by comparing the average daily closing
value of that index over that 20-day period to a base value of $4,079.11, unless QCR elects to cure either of these deficiencies by increasing the stock or cash portion of the merger consideration. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=1>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
cannot complete the merger unless we obtain the necessary governmental approvals and unless the stockholders of Springfield approve the merger agreement and the transactions
contemplated therein. </FONT><FONT SIZE=1><B>Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares that you own</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=1>. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting,
please take the time to vote by following the voting instructions included in the enclosed proxy card. Submitting a proxy now will not prevent you from being able to vote in person at the special
meeting. If you do not vote your shares as instructed in the enclosed proxy card, or if you do not instruct your broker how to vote any shares held for you in "street name," the effect will be a vote
against the merger and the transactions contemplated therein. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following questions and answers are intended to briefly address some commonly asked questions regarding the merger, the merger agreement and
the special meeting. We urge you to read carefully the remainder of this proxy statement/prospectus because the information in this section may not provide all the information that might be important
to you in determining how to vote. Additional important information is also contained in the appendices to, and the documents incorporated by reference in, this document. See "Where You Can Find More
Information." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Q:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What is the proposed transaction?  </B></FONT></P>

<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2><B>A:</B></FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>You are being asked to vote on the approval of a merger agreement that provides for the merger of Springfield
Bancshares,&nbsp;Inc. (which we refer to as "Springfield") with and into QCR Holdings,&nbsp;Inc. (which we refer to as "QCR"), with QCR as the surviving company (which we refer to as the "merger
proposal"). The merger is anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of 2018. After the completion of the merger, QCR intends to operate Springfield First Community Bank, the wholly owned
banking subsidiary of Springfield (which we refer to as "SFC Bank"), under SFC Bank's existing charter as a separate, wholly owned banking subsidiary of QCR. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Q:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What will Springfield stockholders be entitled to receive in the merger?  </B></FONT></P>

<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2><B>A:</B></FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>If the merger is completed, each share of Springfield common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Springfield or QCR and any dissenting shares), will be converted into the right to receive (i)&nbsp;$1.50 in cash, and (ii)&nbsp;0.3060
shares of QCR common stock (which we refer to as the "exchange ratio"), subject to possible adjustment, including a possible reduction to the cash portion of the merger consideration to the extent
that Springfield's adjusted tangible stockholders' equity at the month-end prior to the closing date is less than the applicable threshold described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and with cash
paid in lieu of fractional shares. As of March&nbsp;31, 2018, Springfield's tangible stockholders' equity was approximately $44.4&nbsp;million. Shares of Springfield common stock held by
Springfield stockholders who elect to exercise their dissenters' rights (which we refer to as "dissenting shares") will not be converted into merger consideration. See "Description of the Merger
Agreement&#151;Consideration to be received in the merger." </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Q:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Will the exchange ratio adjust based on the trading price of QCR common stock prior to closing?</B></FONT></P>

<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2><B>A:</B></FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>No, the exchange ratio is fixed and will not increase or decrease solely due to changes in the trading price of QCR
common stock prior to the closing of the merger. However, the merger agreement includes what is commonly referred to as a "double-trigger termination provision," which permits Springfield to terminate
the merger agreement if the weighted average daily closing sales price of QCR common stock for the 20 trading days ending on the fifteenth day preceding the closing date of the merger (which we refer
to as the "Determination Date") (i)&nbsp;is less than $38.19 per share and (ii)&nbsp;represents a percentage change, relative to a base value of $44.93 per share of QCR common stock, that is more
than 15% below the percentage change in the Nasdaq Bank Index, measured by comparing the average daily closing value of that index over that 20-day period to a base value of $4,079.11. If this occurs
and Springfield seeks to terminate the merger agreement, then QCR will have the option to cure either of these deficiencies by increasing the merger consideration accordingly. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><B>Q:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What is the value of the per share merger consideration?  </B></FONT></P>

<DL compact>
<DT style='font-family:times;margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2><B>A:</B></FONT></DT><DD style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>The value of the merger consideration to be received by Springfield stockholders will fluctuate as the market price of
QCR common stock fluctuates before the completion of the merger. This price will not be known at the time of the Springfield special meeting and may be more or less than the current price of common
stock or the price of QCR common stock at the time of the special meeting. Based on the closing stock price of QCR common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on April&nbsp;17, 2018, the trading day
immediately prior to the public announcement of the merger, of $44.45, the implied merger consideration that a Springfield stockholder would be entitled to receive for each share of Springfield common
stock owned would be $15.10 with an aggregate transaction value of approximately $83.5&nbsp;million. Based on the closing price of QCR common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market of $47.35
as of May&nbsp;15, 2018, the latest practicable date before the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the implied merger consideration that a Springfield stockholder would be entitled to receive
for each share of Springfield common stock owned would be $15.99 with an aggregate transaction value of approximately $88.4&nbsp;million. After the merger is completed, we expect that current QCR
stockholders will own approximately 89% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the combined company, and current Springfield stockholders will own approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of the combined company. We urge you to obtain current market quotations for shares of QCR common stock. </FONT></DD></DL>

<A NAME="h4"></A>Material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the
merger</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> (See page&nbsp;51) </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
merger is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and it is a condition to QCR's and
Springfield's obligations to complete the merger that each of Barack Ferrazzano Kirschbaum&nbsp;&amp; Nagelberg&nbsp;LLP (which we refer to as "Barack Ferrazzano") and Stinson Leonard
Street&nbsp;LLP (which we refer to as "Stinson") have delivered opinions, dated as of the closing date, to the effect that the merger qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The opinion will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, which could take a different view. Neither QCR nor Springfield has requested or received a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that the merger will qualify as a reorganization. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Provided
the merger qualifies as a reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes, Springfield stockholders may recognize gain, but will not recognize loss, upon the
exchange of their Springfield common stock for shares of QCR common stock and cash. If the sum of the fair market value of the QCR common stock and the amount of cash you receive in exchange for your
shares of Springfield common stock exceeds the adjusted basis of your shares of Springfield common stock, you will recognize taxable gain equal to the lesser of the amount of such excess or the amount
of cash you receive in the exchange. Generally, any gain recognized upon the exchange will be capital gain, and any such capital gain will be long-term capital gain if you have established a holding
period of more than one year for your shares of Springfield common stock. Depending on certain facts specific to you, any gain could instead be characterized as ordinary dividend income. </FONT></P>

you consider the Springfield board of directors' recommendation to vote in favor of approval of the merger agreement, you should be aware that some of

agreements with SFC Bank, the receipt of certain change in control benefits and rights to ongoing indemnification and insurance coverage by the surviving corporation for acts or omissions occurring
prior to the merger. These interests also include QCR's agreement to appoint Timothy O'Reilly to serve as a member of QCR's board of directors following the completion of the merger, subject to any
necessary regulatory approval and the satisfactory completion of QCR's director nominee due diligence. The Springfield board of
directors was aware of these interests and took them into account in reaching its decisions to approve and adopt the merger agreement and to recommend the approval of the merger agreement to
Springfield stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approval
by Springfield's stockholders at Springfield's special meeting of stockholders on June&nbsp;27, 2018 is required to complete the merger. The presence, in
person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares of Springfield common stock entitled to vote on the merger agreement is necessary to constitute a quorum at the meeting. Each share of Springfield
common stock outstanding on the record date entitles its holder to one vote on the merger agreement and any other proposal listed in the notice. Approval of the merger proposal requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Springfield common stock entitled to vote. Abstentions, shares not voted and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a
vote against the merger proposal. Approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Springfield common stock represented in person or by
proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote. Abstentions are deemed to be represented at the special meeting and thereby have the same effect as a vote against the adjournment proposal. Shares
not voted and broker non-votes will have no effect on the adjournment proposal, although they may prevent Springfield from obtaining a quorum and require Springfield to adjourn the special meeting to
solicit additional proxies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
merger cannot proceed without obtaining all requisite regulatory approvals. QCR and Springfield have agreed to take all appropriate actions necessary to obtain the
required approvals. The merger of QCR and Springfield is subject to prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (which we refer to as the "Federal Reserve"). QCR submitted
an application with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago on April&nbsp;23, 2018 seeking the necessary approval. The merger may not be completed until 15&nbsp;days after receipt of Federal Reserve
approval, during which time the United States Department of Justice may challenge the merger on antitrust grounds. The commencement of an antitrust action would stay the effectiveness of the Federal
Reserve's approval, unless a court specifically orders otherwise. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, the acquisition of control of Springfield requires the approval of the Missouri Division of Finance (which we refer to as the "MDOF"). QCR submitted an application with the
MDOF on April&nbsp;24, 2018 seeking its approval. The MDOF will, within 30&nbsp;days after receiving the application, issue an order declaring the acquisition to be lawful or unlawful under the
provisions of Missouri banking law. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After
the completion of the merger, QCR intends to operate SFC Bank under SFC Bank's existing charter as a separate banking subsidiary. As a Missouri state chartered non-member bank, SFC
Bank is regulated by the Missouri Division of Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (which we refer to as the "FDIC"). After the merger, QCR intends to apply for SFC Bank to become a
member of the Federal Reserve system. Upon approval, SFC Bank would switch its primary federal regulator to the Federal Reserve. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While
QCR knows of no reason why the approval of any regulatory application would be denied or unduly delayed, it cannot assure you that all regulatory approvals required to complete the
merger will be obtained or obtained in a timely manner. </FONT></P>

April&nbsp;17, 2018, the directors and certain officers of Springfield agreed to vote all of their shares of Springfield common stock in favor of the merger

The Value of the Merger Consideration that Consists of QCR Common Stock Will Fluctuate Based on the Trading
Price of QCR Common Stock.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The number of shares of QCR common stock to be issued in the merger will not automatically adjust based on the trading price of QCR common
stock, and the market value of those shares may vary from the closing price of QCR common stock on the date the merger was announced, on the date that this document was mailed to Springfield
stockholders, on the date of the special meeting of the Springfield stockholders and on the date the merger is completed and thereafter. Any change in the exchange ratio or the market price of QCR
common stock prior to completion of the merger will affect the amount of and the market value of the merger consideration that Springfield stockholders will receive upon completion of the merger.
Accordingly, at the time of the special meeting, Springfield stockholders will not know or be able to calculate with certainty the market value of the QCR common stock they would receive upon
completion of the merger. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors, including general market and economic conditions, changes in business, operations and prospects, and regulatory
considerations. Many of these factors are beyond QCR's or Springfield's control. You should obtain current market quotations for shares of QCR common stock before you vote. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon completion of the merger, holders of Springfield common stock will become holders of QCR common stock. QCR's business differs in important

QCR May Fail to Realize the Anticipated Benefits of the Merger.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QCR and Springfield have operated and, until the completion of the merger, will continue to operate, independently. The success of the merger,
including anticipated benefits and cost savings, will depend on, among other things, QCR's ability to combine the businesses of QCR and Springfield in a manner that permits growth opportunities,
including, among other things, enhanced revenues and revenue synergies, an expanded market reach and operating efficiencies, and does not materially disrupt the existing customer relationships of QCR
or Springfield nor result in decreased revenues due to any loss of customers. If QCR is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized
fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion
of management's time and energy and could have an adverse effect on the surviving corporation's business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain
employees may not be employed by QCR after the merger. In addition, employees that QCR wishes to retain may elect to terminate their employment as a result of the merger, which
could delay or disrupt the integration process. It is possible that the integration process could result in the disruption of QCR's or Springfield's ongoing businesses or cause inconsistencies in
standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the ability of QCR or Springfield to maintain relationships with customers and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits and
cost savings of the merger. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Among
the factors considered by the boards of directors of QCR and Springfield in connection with their respective approvals of the merger agreement were the benefits that could result
from the merger. There can be no assurance that these benefits will be realized within the time periods contemplated or at all. </FONT></P>

Regulatory Approvals May Not Be Received, May Take Longer than Expected or May Impose Conditions that Are Not
Presently Anticipated or Cannot Be Met.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Before the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement can be completed, various approvals must be obtained from the bank regulatory and
other governmental authorities. In deciding whether to grant regulatory clearances, the relevant governmental entities will consider a variety of factors, including the regulatory standing of each of
the parties. An adverse development in either party's regulatory standing or other factors could result in an inability to obtain one or more of the required regulatory approvals or delay their
receipt. The terms and conditions of the approvals that are granted may impose requirements, limitations or costs or place restrictions on the conduct of the combined company's business. QCR and
Springfield believe that the merger should not raise significant regulatory concerns and that QCR will be able to obtain all requisite regulatory approvals in a timely manner. Despite the parties'
commitments to use their reasonable best efforts to comply with conditions imposed by regulatory entities, under the terms of the merger agreement, QCR and Springfield will not be required to complete
the merger if any such approvals would reasonably be expected to materially restrict or burden QCR following the merger. There can be no assurance that regulators will not impose conditions, terms,
obligations or restrictions and that such conditions, terms, obligations or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying the completion of the merger, imposing additional material costs on or

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on Springfield and, consequently, on QCR. These
uncertainties may impair Springfield's ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is completed, and could cause customers and others that deal with Springfield to seek to
change existing business relationships with Springfield. Retention of certain employees may be challenging during the pendency of the merger, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about
their future roles. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with the business, QCR's business following the merger
could be negatively impacted. In addition, the merger agreement restricts Springfield from making certain transactions and taking other specified actions without the consent of QCR until the merger
occurs. These restrictions may prevent Springfield from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the merger. </FONT></P>

relating to the exercise of fiduciary duties by Springfield's board of directors, entering into discussions with any third party regarding any acquisition proposal or offers for competing
transactions. Springfield also has an unqualified obligation to submit the proposal to approve the merger to a vote by its stockholders, even if Springfield receives an alternative acquisition

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This proxy statement/prospectus (including information incorporated by reference) contains, and future oral and written statements of QCR and
Springfield and members of their management may contain, forward-looking statements, within the meaning of such term in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, with respect to the
financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of QCR and Springfield. Forward-looking statements, which may be based upon beliefs, expectations and
assumptions of QCR's and Springfield's management and on information currently available to management, are generally identifiable by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate,"
"bode," "predict," "suggest," "project," "appear," "plan," "intend," "estimate," "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "likely," or other similar expressions. Additionally, all statements in this
proxy statement/prospectus, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and neither QCR nor Springfield undertakes any obligation to update any statement in light of
new information or future events. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QCR's
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. The factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and
future prospects of QCR and its subsidiaries are detailed in the "Risk Factors" section included under Item&nbsp;1A. of Part&nbsp;I of QCR's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2017. In addition to the risk factors described in that section, there are other factors that could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects of QCR and
its subsidiaries. These additional factors include, but are not limited to, the following:</FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following tables present certain non-GAAP financial measures related to net interest margin tax equivalent yield and the efficiency ratio.
In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, all non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Net interest margin tax equivalent yield (non-GAAP) is reconciled to
net interest margin. The efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net
interest margin tax equivalent yield is a financial measure QCR's management utilizes to take into account the tax benefit associated with certain loans and securities. Interest
earned and yields on nontaxable securities and loans are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 35% tax rate for each period prior to March&nbsp;31, 2018 and 21% for the quarter ended
March&nbsp;31, 2018. The efficiency ratio is
utilized by QCR's management to compare QCR to peers. It is standard in the banking industry and widely utilized by investors. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-GAAP
financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by
investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. </FONT></P>

Record date, quorum and vote required    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The record date for the Springfield special meeting is May&nbsp;15, 2018. Springfield's stockholders of record as of the close of business on
that day will receive notice of and will be entitled to vote at the special meeting. As of the record date, there were 5,457,329 shares of Springfield common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at
the special meeting. The outstanding shares are held by approximately 163 holders of record. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the shares of Springfield common stock entitled to vote on the merger agreement is necessary to constitute a quorum at the special
meeting. Each share of Springfield common stock outstanding on the record date entitles its holder to one vote on the matters being brought before the special meeting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
determine the presence of a quorum at the special meeting, Springfield will also count as present the shares of Springfield common stock present in person but not voting, and the
shares of common stock for which Springfield has received proxies but with respect to which the holders of such shares have abstained or signed without providing instructions. Broker non-votes are not
counted as present for the purposes of determining quorum. Based on the number of shares of Springfield common stock outstanding as of the record date, at least 2,728,665 shares need to be present at
the special meeting, whether in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Approval
of the merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Springfield common stock entitled to vote. Abstentions, shares not

Springfield common stock represented in person or by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote. Abstentions are deemed to be represented at the special meeting and thereby have the same effect
as a vote against the adjournment proposal. Shares not voted and broker non-votes will have no effect on the adjournment proposal, although they may prevent Springfield from obtaining a quorum and
require Springfield to adjourn the special meeting to solicit additional proxies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of the record date for the special meeting, Springfield's directors and executive officers owned a total of 1,550,686 shares, or approximately 28.4% of the outstanding shares, of
Springfield common stock. These individuals have entered into a written agreement with QCR that they will vote their shares in favor of the merger agreement, except as may be limited by their

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you properly complete and timely submit your proxy, your shares will be voted as you have directed. You may vote for, against, or abstain
with respect to the matters brought before the special meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares and submit your proxy without specifying a voting instruction, your shares will be voted as
the Springfield board of directors recommends and will be voted "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>FOR</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>" approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated therein and
"</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>FOR</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>" the adjournment of the special meeting to permit further solicitation in the event that an insufficient number of votes are cast to approve the

you do not attend and cast your vote at the special meeting, the effect will be a vote against the merger agreement. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</FONT><FONT

Shares held in "street name"    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you hold shares in "street name" with a broker, bank or other fiduciary, you will receive voting instructions from the holder of record of
your shares. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, brokers, banks and other fiduciaries may generally vote your shares on routine matters, such as the ratification of
an independent registered public accounting firm, even if you provide no instructions, but may not vote on non-routine matters, such as the matters being brought before the special meeting, unless you
provide voting instructions. Shares for which a broker does not have the authority to vote are recorded as "broker non-votes" and are not counted in the vote by stockholders or for purposes of a
quorum. As a result, any broker non-votes will have the practical effect of a vote against the merger proposal but will not affect the adjournment proposal. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
therefore encourage you to provide directions to your broker, bank or other fiduciary as to how you want your shares voted on all matters to be brought before the special meeting. You
should do this by carefully following the instructions your broker gives you concerning its procedures. Your broker, bank or other fiduciary may allow you to deliver your voting
instructions&nbsp;via the telephone or the Internet. Please see the instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other fiduciary that accompanies this proxy statement. If you wish to change
your voting instructions after you have returned your voting instruction form to your broker, bank or other fiduciary, you must contact your broker, bank or other fiduciary. If you want to vote your
shares of Springfield common stock held in street name in person at the special meeting, you will need to obtain a written proxy in your name from your broker, bank or other fiduciary. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All

General    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Springfield board of directors is using this proxy statement/prospectus to solicit proxies from the holders of Springfield common stock for
use at the Springfield special meeting of stockholders, at which Springfield stockholders will be asked to approve the merger agreement and thereby approve the merger. When the merger is completed,
Springfield will merge with and into QCR and will cease to exist, which will result in SFC Bank being a wholly-owned subsidiary of QCR. The merger is anticipated to be completed in the third quarter
of 2018. After the completion of the merger, QCR intends to operate SFC Bank under SFC Bank's existing charter as a separate banking subsidiary of QCR. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
the merger is completed, each share of Springfield common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger (other than shares owned by Springfield or
QCR and any dissenting shares), will be converted into the right to receive, at the election of the stockholder, either (i)&nbsp;$1.50 in cash, and (ii)&nbsp;0.3060 shares of QCR common stock,
subject to possible adjustment, including a possible reduction to the cash portion of the merger consideration to the extent that Springfield's adjusted tangible stockholders' equity at the month-end
prior to the closing date is less than the applicable threshold described in this proxy statement/prospectus, and with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Shares of Springfield common stock held
by Springfield stockholders who elect to exercise their dissenters' rights will not be converted into merger consideration. </FONT></P>

Background of the merger    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From
time to time, Springfield's board of directors and management evaluate and discuss strategies to strengthen Springfield's business and to enhance profitable growth and value for its
stockholders while giving consideration to developments in the banking industry, including industry consolidation, the regulatory environment, conditions in the markets that Springfield serves,
competitive considerations and other factors. Springfield's board of directors also regularly reviews the company's performance, risks, opportunities, stock valuation, capital needs, technological
investments, infrastructure requirements and long-term objectives. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Similarly,
over the past several years, QCR's board of directors has actively and thoughtfully considered QCR's business and strategic direction, and has explored ways to take advantage
of the different opportunities to grow, both organically and through strategic transactions, particularly in new markets in the Midwestern United States, including the Springfield, Missouri market.
QCR has completed several acquisitions over the past five years and in connection with their continuing strategic planning, QCR's executive management and members of its board have met frequently with
investment banking firms, including representatives of Keefe, Bruyette&nbsp;&amp; Woods,&nbsp;Inc. (which we refer to as "KBW"), to discuss various trends in the industry, the sale and acquisition
market and particular financial institutions. The executive management team regularly reported this information to the full board of directors to keep the directors properly knowledgeable and informed
on QCR's strategic alternatives. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Springfield
has formulated its business plan with the intent of providing maximum value to its stockholders by enhancing Springfield's franchise value through strong financial
performance. The Springfield board of directors and its executive officers have continuously evaluated the cost of adding additional financial products, locations and alternative delivery methods in
an effort to remain competitive in the marketplace while implementing a growth strategy, continuing to deliver the current array of services to Springfield's customers and providing competitive
returns to Springfield's stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, as part of Springfield's ongoing effort to improve its community banking franchise and to enhance stockholder value, the Springfield board of directors and Springfield's
management have periodically reviewed various strategic opportunities available to Springfield, including, among other things, continued independence, acquisitions of smaller banking institutions in
or near the markets Springfield serves and strategic mergers with or acquisitions by other financial institutions. To assist with the evaluation and analysis of potential mergers, strategic
affiliations and acquisitions, in April 2016, the Springfield board of directors formed a committee comprised of certain members of Springfield's board of directors and executive officers from SFC
Bank (which we refer to as the "M&amp;A Committee"). </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When
considering strategic alternatives from time to time, Springfield's M&amp;A Committee examined the possibility of acquiring other institutions to gain additional profitability through
economies of scale. However, acquisition opportunities were limited due in large part to the absence of appropriately-sized targets available for potential acquisition at an attractive price and
located in attractive markets consistent with Springfield's strategies. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
M&amp;A Committee also considered the merits of maintaining Springfield's independence, versus the opportunity to pursue additional stockholder value through the potential sale of
Springfield. The independence strategy was maintained in recent years due to, among other things, the strong financial
performance of Springfield and its prospects for generating additional stockholder value through organic growth. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However,
over the past few years, Springfield management, the M&amp;A Committee and the Springfield board of directors assessed significant operating risk increases in the banking industry.
Specifically, the increasing costs and regulatory burdens associated with increasing compliance and safety and soundness obligations, necessary technology enhancements, required infrastructure
investment, cybersecurity risks and increasing competition were noted as challenges to a continued independence strategy. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, the M&amp;A Committee have viewed the general lack of liquidity in Springfield common stock as a weakness to the independence strategy as shares of Springfield common stock are
not traded in an established market and they are traded infrequently. Moreover, operating Springfield as an S-Corporation impacts the liquidity of its common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
M&amp;A Committee also began to recognize and discuss that as the financial performance, market share and reputation of Springfield continued to grow, so too did the prospects and
rationale for pursuing a potential combination with a larger company that would increase Springfield's scale, scope, strength and diversity of operations, product lines and delivery systems, enhancing
its ability to provide more comprehensive financial services, higher loan limits and the ability to take advantage of keeping a larger portion of Springfield's loan participations that have been or
may be sold to third parties. As the performance and profile of Springfield increased, the M&amp;A Committee anticipated that the interest of larger banking institutions with a presence in or desire to
access the Springfield, Missouri market would also increase. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All
of these factors combined led to Springfield's serious consideration of whether the present independence strategy should continue as is or be modified to seek a strategic merger.

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>among
other things, Springfield's internal strengths (solid financial performance and metrics, low levels of classified assets, experienced employees and projected growth rates) combined with optimism
in the political and economic climate (rising interest rates, presumed softening of the bank regulatory environment and potential corporate income tax cuts), the M&amp;A Committee unanimously determined
to preliminarily explore the possibility of merging Springfield in the relatively near-term. The M&amp;A Committee authorized management to consult with its corporate counsel, Stinson, to provide guidance
on the initial phases of a potential merger process and to explore the engagement of an investment banking firm to act as financial advisor to Springfield in connection with a potential sale of the
company. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
June&nbsp;15, 2016, a representative from Springfield executive management had an introductory meeting with a representative from D.A. Davidson (which we refer to as "Davidson") and
another investment bank to discuss each of their respective companies and the prospects of potentially working together. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the latter half of 2016 and into the early part of 2017, executives from Springfield met with representatives from other investment banking firms to receive their recommendations
regarding the strategic course for Springfield. In addition, during this time frame members of the M&amp;A Committee and executives from Springfield had introductory meetings with some potential merger
partners, but no specific pricing terms were discussed. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Two
follow-up meetings between Springfield executive management and Davidson occurred on August&nbsp;23, 2016 and on February&nbsp;6, 2017. During both of these meetings Davidson
addressed among other things: (i)&nbsp;Davidson's industry experience and qualifications in merger transactions; (ii)&nbsp;recent stock market performance, with an emphasis on the financial
institutions sector; (iii)&nbsp;the capital market alternatives for community banks; (iv)&nbsp;factors influencing the mergers and acquisitions market for community banks; (v)&nbsp;an analysis
of theoretical acquisition opportunities for Springfield; (vi)&nbsp;detailed modeling regarding a hypothetical acquisition opportunity; (vii)&nbsp;precedent merger transactions; (viii)&nbsp;a
select list of potential merger partners, including considerations for evaluation of each potential merger partner; (ix)&nbsp;an overview of the merger transaction process and timeline; and,
(x)&nbsp;analysis of stock versus cash as transaction consideration. Specifically, for each potential merger partner, Davidson provided publicly available general company information, financial
information, including select income statement and balance sheet information, financial performance ratios, deposit and loan composition, stock performance, stock liquidity, a summary of large
stockholders and a pro forma branch map. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
March&nbsp;3, 2017, Springfield engaged Davidson to provide financial advisory and investment banking services. In approving the engagement of Davidson, Springfield considered,
among other things, the type and amount of Davidson's fees, Davidson's expertise in advising financial institutions, including in merger transactions, and Davidson's professional reputation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Throughout
the spring of 2017, Springfield and Davidson discussed the parameters of Davidson's engagement. Executives from Springfield stressed the preference for a transaction that was
predominately stock consideration (although there was an openness to an all cash deal) and that was a financially attractive proposal and with a partner that could assist Springfield in providing a
broader and deeper product offering. The M&amp;A Committee believed that partnering with another bank holding company would be beneficial to Springfield's stockholders. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April 2017, representatives of Davidson worked with management of Springfield as well as representatives of Stinson to develop materials necessary for the process, including preparing
confidentiality agreements and a confidential information memorandum. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;From
May to September 2017, Davidson reached out to and had introductory discussions with a select group of potential merger partners that could potentially address Springfield's merger
partner requirements. Over that time period, potential partners, including QCR on May&nbsp;2, 2017, executed a </FONT></P>

partners, including QCR. On August&nbsp;31, 2017 and September&nbsp;1, 2017, Springfield had preliminary discussions with QCR. The parties spoke about developing discussions further and the
possibility of a combination over the ensuing months. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Throughout
the fall of 2017, Springfield, QCR and their respective advisors continued discussions and exchanged additional information on the companies and the prospects of forming a
mutual partnership. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
September&nbsp;18, 2017, Springfield received a verbal acquisition proposal from a potential merger partner at an indicated per share value of $13.00 to $13.25 with a transaction
consideration of 80% stock and 20% cash. Springfield rejected this initial proposal. On September&nbsp;20, 2017, the same merger partner increased the per share consideration to a range of $13.25 to
$13.50. Springfield rejected this revised verbal proposal as well. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
October&nbsp;13, 2017, Robert C. Fulp, Springfield's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Monte McNew, Springfield's President and a director, and Charlie O'Reilly, a director of
Springfield, along with other members of the M&amp;A Committee, met with Douglas M. Hultquist, QCR's President and Chief Executive Officer, Todd A. Gipple, QCR's Executive Vice President, Chief Operating
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, John&nbsp;H. Anderson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Quad City Bank and Trust Company, a subsidiary of QCR, Cathie&nbsp;S. Whiteside, then an
Executive Vice President of QCR, and Linda K. Neuman and George T. Ralph III, directors of QCR, regarding their respective businesses, cultures and operating philosophies, the general banking
environment and Springfield's general ongoing strategy. During November and December 2017, QCR continued its preliminary due diligence review of Springfield, including Springfield's loan portfolio,
participation loans and other financial matters. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
December&nbsp;18, 2017, a preliminary non-binding proposal from QCR was verbally communicated to Davidson by QCR's financial advisor, KBW. The details of the preliminary non-binding
proposal implied an approximately $80.5&nbsp;million transaction value or $14.27 per Springfield share. Specifically, a 90% stock and 10% cash deal, with the stock component fixed at 0.28944 shares
of QCR for each share of Springfield and $1.42 per share in cash. Springfield did not accept this verbal proposal and from mid-December 2017 to mid-January 2018 the parties worked through several of
the merger assumptions in greater detail. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
January&nbsp;24, 2018, Springfield received a written, non-binding letter of intent from QCR providing updated financial terms. Specifically, a 90% stock and 10% cash deal, with the
stock component fixed at 0.3060 shares of QCR for each share of Springfield and $1.50 per share in cash. The implied aggregate deal value was approximately $85.5&nbsp;million or $15.06 per
Springfield share. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
February&nbsp;7, 2018, Springfield's M&amp;A Committee, along with representatives from Stinson and Davidson discussed, reviewed and analyzed QCR's updated proposal. Stinson advised the
M&amp;A Committee of the fiduciary and legal obligations applicable when considering a merger or sale of Springfield and entering into a non-binding letter of intent. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
M&amp;A Committee engaged in an in-depth and detailed discussion on a range of topics, including, among other things: (i)&nbsp;the perceived relative advantages and disadvantages of
QCR as a merger partner; (ii)&nbsp;the business and prospects of QCR and how Springfield's business would align; (iii)&nbsp;the perceived relative merits of owning the common stock of QCR;
(iv)&nbsp;the perceived market reaction to a merger transaction between Springfield and QCR; and, (v)&nbsp;the value of the merger consideration proposed by QCR. After the discussion, the M&amp;A
Committee unanimously determined that QCR was an optimal merger partner for Springfield and that QCR's updated letter of intent was acceptable, subject to some questions and refinements including the
inclusion of a double-trigger walkaway right. Once the follow-up questions were answered and refinements addressed, Springfield executed a revised non-binding letter of intent with QCR on
February&nbsp;20, 2018. Promptly after the execution of the revised non-binding letter of intent, the parties began to exclusively negotiate a definitive agreement and complete due diligence on one
another. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
February and March 2018, QCR completed an extensive due diligence review of Springfield, including a detailed financial review, credit review and management interviews, among other
traditional merger-related review processes. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Representatives
for Barack Ferrazzano prepared the initial draft of a proposed merger agreement and, after multiple discussions with QCR's management team, delivered the initial draft of
a merger agreement, with terms that followed the final letter of intent, to Stinson on March&nbsp;9, 2018. During March and April 2018, Stinson and Barack Ferrazzano, with the participation of QCR
and Springfield management and Davidson and KBW, negotiated the definitive merger agreement. Multiple drafts of the merger agreement were exchanged between Stinson and Barack Ferrazzano and several
topics were discussed and negotiated, including with respect to Springfield's double-trigger walkaway right and a purchase price adjustment based on Springfield's closing total tangible stockholders'
equity. Also, during this time period, each party completed due diligence and prepared, circulated and finalized its disclosure schedules listing certain supplements and exceptions to the
representations and warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
April 2018, Springfield and Davidson completed a reverse due diligence review on QCR, including review of QCR financials, internal documents and discussions with QCR's management team
customary in this type of combination. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
a QCR board meeting on April&nbsp;11, 2018, the board met with representatives of management, KBW and Barack Ferrazzano to receive an update on the negotiations of the transaction
and the current negotiated terms. Representatives of KBW discussed the financial aspects of the proposed transaction. Representatives of Barack Ferrazzano led a discussion summarizing the merger
agreement, the scope of the representations and warranties, the nature of the parties' covenants prior to closing, the proposed closing conditions and the termination provisions. They also discussed
the directors' fiduciary duties with regard to such a transaction. The QCR board engaged in a lengthy discussion regarding the proposed transaction and the rationales for proceeding with the
transaction, which are discussed in more detail in the section entitled "The Merger&#151;QCR's reasons for the merger." Following that discussion, it was the consensus of the board to continue
moving forward with completing the documentation of the transaction with the goal of announcing the transaction by the middle of the following week. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Over

April&nbsp;16, 2018, the Springfield board of directors held a special meeting. A representative from Stinson and a representative from Davidson attended the meeting. Stinson
advised that a proposed merger agreement had been successfully negotiated and would be presented for adoption by the Springfield board of directors at the meeting. Stinson advised of the fiduciary and
legal obligations applicable to directors when considering a merger or sale of Springfield and provided its oral opinion that the merger would be in substantial compliance with all applicable laws.
Stinson provided a comprehensive review of the proposed merger agreement, including customary "fiduciary out" provisions in the event Springfield were to receive a superior proposal and the voting
agreements certain stockholders were being requested to execute. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Davidson
presented its fairness opinion analysis. This analysis included, among other things, an overview of the sales process, timeline and due diligence summary; a review of the
fairness opinion process; a summary of the terms of the proposed merger, including the merger consideration; transaction metrics, including implied valuation multiples; a price sensitivity analysis;
implied per share transaction value based on QCR's common stock performance for the last 12&nbsp;months; pro forma metrics, including the earn-back period for dilution to QCR's tangible book value;
a contribution analysis; peer analyses; precedent merger transactions; a net present value analysis; and financial and stock information about QCR. Davidson delivered its oral opinion that, as of
April&nbsp;16, 2018, and based upon and subject to the assumptions presented, the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the merger agreement) to be paid in the merger was fair, from a
financial point of view, to Springfield's stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
board of directors engaged in an in-depth and detailed discussion about the merger agreement and the fairness opinion analysis. Following the discussion, the board of directors
unanimously determined that the merger would be in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and in the best interests of Springfield and its stockholders, adopted the merger agreement, approved
and authorized the merger and related transactions, recommended that Springfield stockholders approve the merger agreement and authorized Springfield's executive management to negotiate any final

Opinion of D.A. Davidson&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;3, 2017, Springfield entered into an engagement agreement with Davidson to render financial advisory and investment banking
services to Springfield. As part of its engagement, Davidson agreed to assist Springfield in analyzing, structuring, negotiating and, if appropriate, effecting a transaction between Springfield and
another corporation or business entity. In a subsequent addendum to its engagement agreement, Davidson also agreed to provide Springfield's board of directors with an opinion as to the fairness, from
a financial point of view, to the holders of Springfield common stock of the consideration to be paid to the holders of Springfield common stock in the proposed merger. Springfield engaged Davidson
because Davidson is a nationally recognized investment banking firm with substantial experience in transactions similar to the merger and is familiar with Springfield and its business. As part of its
investment banking business, Davidson is continually engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate
transactions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
April&nbsp;16, 2018, the Springfield board of directors held a meeting to evaluate the proposed merger. At this meeting, Davidson reviewed the financial aspects of the proposed
merger and rendered an opinion to the Springfield board of directors that, as of such date and based upon and subject to assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on
the review undertaken, the consideration to be paid to the holders of Springfield's common stock in the proposed merger was fair, from a financial point of view, to Springfield. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
full text of Davidson's written opinion, dated April&nbsp;16, 2018, is attached as </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Appendix&nbsp;D</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> to this proxy
statement/prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the opinion set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. Springfield's
stockholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety. </FONT></P>

address, and Davidson expresses no view or opinion with respect to: (i)&nbsp;the underlying business decision of Springfield to engage in the merger, (ii)&nbsp;the relative merits or effect of the

as to the amount or nature of the compensation to any of Springfield's officers, directors or employees, or any class of such persons, relative to the merger consideration, or with respect to the

arriving at its opinion, Davidson assumed and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of all information supplied or otherwise made available to Davidson, discussed with or reviewed
by or for Davidson, or publicly available, and Davidson did not independently verify, and did not assume responsibility for independently verifying such information, did not undertake an independent
evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of Springfield or QCR, nor did Davidson make an independent appraisal or analysis of Springfield or QCR with
respect to the merger. In addition, Davidson did not assume any obligation to conduct, nor did Davidson conduct any physical inspection of the properties or facilities of Springfield, and has not been
provided with any reports of such physical inspections. Davidson did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of Springfield or QCR nor did
Davidson review any individual credit files relating to Springfield or QCR. Davidson assumed that the respective allowances for loan losses for both Springfield and QCR are adequate to cover such
losses and will be adequate on a pro forma basis for the combined entity. Davidson assumed that there has been no material change in Springfield's or QCR's assets, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows, business or prospects since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to Davidson and that neither Springfield nor QCR is party to any material pending
transaction, including without limitation any financing, recapitalization, acquisition or merger, divestiture or spin-off, other than the merger. Davidson assumed in all respects material to its
analysis that Springfield will remain as a going concern for all periods relevant to its analysis. Davidson also assumed in all respects material to its
analysis that all of the representations and warranties contained in the merger agreement and all related agreements are true and correct. Davidson has assumed that in the course of obtaining the
necessary regulatory or other consents or approvals (contractual or otherwise) for the merger, no restrictions, including any divestiture requirements or amendment or modifications, will be imposed
that will have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits of the merger. Davidson's opinion was necessarily based upon information available to Davidson and economic, market, financial and
other conditions as they exist and can be evaluated on the date the fairness opinion letter was delivered to Springfield's board of directors. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With
respect to the financial forecasts and other analyses (including information relating to certain pro forma financial effects of, and strategic implications and operational benefits
anticipated to result from, the merger) provided to or otherwise reviewed by or for or discussed with Davidson, Davidson has been advised by management of Springfield, and have assumed with
Springfield's consent, that such forecasts and other analyses were reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of management of Springfield
as to the future financial performance of Springfield and the other matters covered thereby, and that the financial results (including the potential strategic implications and operational benefits
anticipated to result from the merger) reflected in such forecasts and analyses will be realized in the amounts and at the times projected. Davidson assumes no responsibility for and expresses no
opinion as to these forecasts and analyses or the assumptions on which they were based. Davidson has relied on the assurances of management of Springfield that they are not aware of any facts or
circumstances that would make any of such information, forecasts or analyses inaccurate or misleading. </FONT></P>

$39.00 to $51.00
while also noting QCR's stock price as of April&nbsp;12, 2018, 52-week low, 52-week high, 30-day volume weighted average price ("VWAP"), 90-day VWAP, 30-day average, QCR's stock price as of
February&nbsp;7, 2018 and QCR's stock price as of January&nbsp;24, 2018. The analysis also sensitized the implied aggregate deal value along with the implied stock / cash mix and implied price /
tangible common equity ratio. Davidson also used QCR's historical stock price performance to create a graph showing how the implied per share deal value changed over the last twelve months. The
analysis resulted in an implied per share deal value range for Springfield of $14.00 to $16.52 over the last twelve months. </FONT></P>

60-day, 90-day, 180-day, last twelve months, and since the 2016 election. In addition, Davidson analyzed QCR's trading volume over similar time periods. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net Present Value Analysis for Springfield.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Davidson performed an analysis that estimated the net present value per share of
Springfield common stock
under various circumstances. The analysis assumed: (i)&nbsp;Springfield performed in accordance with Springfield management's financial forecasts for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2018;
December&nbsp;31, 2019; December&nbsp;31, 2020; December&nbsp;31, 2021; December&nbsp;31, 2022; and (ii)&nbsp;Springfield performed in accordance with Davidson Investment Banking assumptions
for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2023 as discussed with and confirmed by Springfield management. To approximate the terminal value of Springfield common stock at December&nbsp;31, 2023,
Davidson applied multiples of tangible book value ranging from 150.0% to 200.0% and price to earnings multiples of 15.0x to 19.0x. The income streams and terminal values were then discounted to
present values using different discount rates ranging from 10.00% to 12.00% chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding required rates of return of holders or prospective buyers of Springfield's
common stock. In evaluating the discount rate, Davidson used industry standard methods of adding the current risk-free rate, which is based on the 10-year Treasury yield, plus the published
Duff&nbsp;&amp; Phelps Industry Equity Risk Premium and plus the published Duff&nbsp;&amp; Phelps Size Premium. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At
the April&nbsp;16, 2018 Springfield board of directors meeting, Davidson noted that the net present value analysis is a widely used valuation methodology, but the results of such
methodology are highly dependent upon the numerous assumptions that must be made, and the results thereof are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
illustrated in the following tables, the analysis indicates an imputed range of aggregate values of Springfield common stock of $12.22 per share to $17.95 per share when applying the
multiples of tangible book value to the financial forecasts and $16.53 per share to $23.17 per share when applying the price to earnings multiples to the financial forecasts. </FONT></P>

 <P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Financial Impact Analysis.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Davidson performed pro forma merger analyses that combined projected income statement and balance sheet
information for
Springfield and QCR. Assumptions regarding the accounting treatment, acquisition adjustments and cost savings were used to calculate the financial impact that the merger would have on certain
projected financial results of QCR. In the course of this analysis, Davidson used (i)&nbsp;Springfield management's financial forecast for the years ending December&nbsp;31, 2018,
December&nbsp;31, 2019, December&nbsp;31, 2020, December&nbsp;31, 2021, and December&nbsp;31, 2022; (ii)&nbsp;publicly available consensus Street estimates for QCR for the years ending
December&nbsp;31, 2018 and December&nbsp;31, 2019; and (iii)&nbsp;Davidson Investment Banking net income assumptions for QCR for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2020, December&nbsp;31,
2021, and December&nbsp;31, 2022, as discussed with and confirmed by Springfield management. This analysis indicated that the merger is expected to be accretive to QCR's earnings per share, after
giving effect for the anticipated cost savings associated with the merger and excluding non-recurring transaction-related expenses. The analysis also indicated that the merger is expected to be
dilutive to tangible book value per share for QCR and that QCR would maintain capital ratios in line of those required for QCR to be considered well-capitalized under existing regulations. For all of
the above analyses, the actual results achieved by Springfield and QCR prior to and following the merger will vary from the projected results, and the variations may be material. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Davidson
prepared its analyses for purposes of providing its opinion to Springfield's board of directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of Springfield
common stock of the consideration to be paid to the holders of the Springfield common stock in the proposed merger and to assist Springfield's board of directors in analyzing the proposed merger. The
analyses do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily
indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based
upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties and their respective advisors, none of Springfield, QCR or Davidson or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are
materially different from those forecasted. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Davidson's
opinion was one of many factors considered by the Springfield's board of directors in its evaluation of the merger and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of
the board of directors of Springfield or management with respect to the merger or the merger consideration. </FONT></P>

the debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) of Springfield and QCR for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short
positions of such securities. Springfield selected Davidson as its financial advisor because it is a recognized investment banking firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the
merger. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated March&nbsp;3, 2017, Springfield engaged Davidson as its financial advisor in connection with the contemplated transaction. Pursuant to the terms of an
addendum to the engagement letter dated February&nbsp;12, 2018, Springfield agreed to pay Davidson a cash fee of $50,000 concurrently with the rendering of its opinion. Springfield will pay to
Davidson at the time of closing of the merger a contingent cash fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate consideration paid to Springfield stockholders in the merger with QCR. Springfield has also agreed to
reimburse Davidson for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including fees of counsel, and to indemnify Davidson and certain related persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities
under the federal securities laws, relating to or arising out of its engagement. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During
the two years preceding the date of this letter, Davidson has provided investment banking and other financial services to Springfield for which Davidson received customary
compensation. Such services during such period have included an annual valuation of the Springfield's common stock for the period ended December&nbsp;31, 2016. </FONT></P>

recorded as goodwill. Consolidated financial statements of QCR issued after the merger will reflect these fair values and will not be restated retroactively to reflect the historical consolidated
financial position or results of operations of Springfield. </FONT></P>

Material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders (as defined below) of
Springfield common stock. The summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial decisions and administrative rulings and practice, all as in effect as of the
date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not address any tax consequences of the merger under state, local or foreign laws, or any
federal laws other than those pertaining to income tax. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of this discussion, the term "U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner that is: an individual citizen or resident of the United States; a corporation (or other entity taxable
as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States or any of its political subdivisions; a trust that (i)&nbsp;is subject to the
supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons or (ii)&nbsp;has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a
U.S. person; or an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income taxation on its income regardless of its source. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
discussion addresses only those U.S. holders of Springfield common stock that hold their Springfield common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the
Internal Revenue Code and does not address all the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular holders of Springfield common stock in light of their individual
circumstances or to holders of Springfield common stock that are subject to special rules, such as non-U.S. holders (as defined below) (except to the extent discussed under the subheading "Tax

a partnership (or other entity that is taxed as a partnership for federal income tax purposes) holds Springfield common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in that partnership

of the merger to them. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
parties intend for the merger to be treated as a "reorganization" for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each of Barack Ferrazzano and Stinson have delivered opinions, dated
May&nbsp;3, 2018, and filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, to the effect that (i)&nbsp;the merger will constitute a "reorganization"
within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii)&nbsp;Springfield and QCR will each be a party to such reorganization within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code, and (iii)&nbsp;no gain or loss will be recognized to Springfield's stockholders upon receipt of QCR common stock in exchange for their shares of Springfield common stock,
except to the extent of any cash consideration received and any cash received in lieu of fractional shares. Additionally, it is a condition to Springfield's obligation to complete the merger that
Springfield receive an opinion from Stinson, dated the closing date of the merger, and it is a condition to QCR's obligation to complete the merger that QCR receive an opinion from Barack Ferrazzano,
dated the closing date of the merger, each to the same effect as the opinions described in the preceding sentence. These conditions are waivable, and QCR and Springfield undertake to recirculate and
resolicit if either of these conditions is waived and the change in tax consequences is material. These opinions are and will be based upon representation letters provided by QCR and Springfield and
upon customary factual assumptions. Neither QCR nor Springfield has sought, and neither of them will seek, any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding any matters relating to the merger,
and the opinions described above will not be binding on the Internal Revenue Service or any court. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service will not assert, or that a
court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the conclusions set forth below. In addition, if any of the representations or assumptions upon which the opinions are based are inconsistent
with the actual facts, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger could be adversely affected. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
actual tax consequences of the merger to you may be complex and will depend upon your specific situation and upon factors that are not within the control of QCR or Springfield. You
should consult with your own tax advisor as to the tax consequences of the merger in light of your particular circumstances, including the applicability and effect of the alternative minimum tax and
any state, local or foreign and other tax laws. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For
purposes of calculating the gain recognized by U.S. holders of Springfield common stock who receive shares of QCR common stock and cash in exchange for shares of Springfield common
stock pursuant to the merger, the fair market value of QCR common stock is based on the trading price of that stock on the date of the merger, rather than the methodology used in calculating the
number of shares of Springfield common stock to be issued to the stockholder. In the case of any U.S. holder who acquired different blocks of Springfield common stock at different times and at
different prices, any realized gain or loss will be determined separately for each identifiable block of shares exchanged in the merger. A loss realized on the exchange of one block of shares cannot
be used to offset a gain realized on the exchange of another block of shares, but a U.S. holder will generally be able to reduce its capital gains by capital losses in determining its income tax
liability. Such U.S. holder should consult its tax advisor prior to the exchange with regard to identifying the basis or holding periods of the particular shares of QCR common stock received in the
merger. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
capital gain generally will be long-term capital gain if the U.S. holder held the shares of Springfield common stock for more than one year at the effective time of the merger. The
deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. All or part of the gain that a particular U.S. holder of Springfield common stock recognizes could be treated as dividend income rather than
capital gain if (i)&nbsp;such U.S. holder is a significant stockholder of QCR or (ii)&nbsp;such U.S. holder's percentage ownership, taking into account constructive ownership rules, in QCR after
the merger is not meaningfully reduced from what its percentage ownership would have been if it had received solely shares of QCR common stock rather than a combination of cash and shares of QCR
common stock in the merger. This could happen, for example, because of ownership of additional shares of QCR common stock by such holder, ownership of shares of QCR common stock by a person related to
such holder or a share repurchase by QCR from other holders of Springfield common stock. These rules are complex and dependent upon the specific factual circumstances particular to each U.S. holder.
Consequently, each U.S. holder
that may be subject to those rules should consult its tax advisor as to the application of these rules to the particular facts relevant to such U.S. holder. </FONT></P>

circumstances, be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the holder provides proof of an applicable exemption satisfactory to QCR and the exchange agent or, in the case of
backup withholding, furnishes its taxpayer identification number and otherwise complies with all applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Any amounts withheld from payments to a U.S.

U.S. holder of Springfield common stock, as a result of having received QCR common stock in the merger, will be required to retain records pertaining to the merger. In addition, each
U.S. holder of Springfield common stock who is a "significant holder" will be required to file&nbsp;a statement with such holder's U.S. federal income tax return in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section&nbsp;1.368-3(b) setting forth such holder's basis in the Springfield common stock surrendered and the fair market value of the QCR common stock and cash received in the merger. A
"significant holder" is a holder of Springfield common stock who, immediately before the merger, owned at least 5% of the vote or value of the outstanding stock of Springfield or securities of
Springfield with a basis for federal income taxes of at least $1&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Tax Implications to Non-U.S. Stockholders.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For purposes of this discussion, the term "non-U.S. holder" means a beneficial owner of
Springfield common
stock (other than an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. holder. The rules governing the U.S. federal income taxation of non-U.S. holders are
complex, and no attempt will be made herein to provide more than a limited summary of those rules. Any gain a non-U.S. holder recognizes from the exchange of Springfield common stock for QCR common
stock and cash in the merger generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless (i)&nbsp;the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder
in the United States, or (ii)&nbsp;in the case of a non-U.S. holder who is an individual, such stockholder is present in the United States for 183&nbsp;days or more in the taxable year of the sale
and other conditions are met. Non-U.S. holders described in (i)&nbsp;above will be subject to tax on gain recognized at applicable U.S. federal income tax rates and, in addition, non-U.S. holders
that are corporations (or treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes) may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or a lesser rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on
their effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, which would include such gain. Non-U.S. holders described in (ii)&nbsp;above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on any gain
recognized, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
discussion does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent upon, individual circumstances. Moreover, it does not address any non-income tax or any foreign,
state or local tax consequences of the merger. Tax matters are very complicated, and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend upon the facts of your particular situation. </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><B>Accordingly, we strongly urge you to

after receipt of Federal Reserve approval, during which time the United States Department of Justice may challenge the merger on antitrust grounds. The commencement of an antitrust action would stay

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Severance Payments.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the merger agreement, QCR has agreed to cover any employee of Springfield or SFC Bank immediately prior to
the effective
time of the merger, who is not otherwise entitled to contractual severance or change of control benefits, under a severance policy. To the extent a covered employee incurs an involuntary termination
within one year following the merger, such employee will generally be entitled to a severance payment equal to one week of base salary for each whole year of service with Springfield or QCR (or their
respective subsidiaries), subject to a minimum payment equal to two&nbsp;weeks of base salary and a maximum payment equal to 26&nbsp;weeks of base salary. In the case of any part-time employee,
the amount of severance will be based on the particular employee's average weekly pay, subject to the same minimum and maximum amounts. The severance will be paid in accordance with QCR's normal
payroll practices and will be subject to all applicable withholding. All severance payments are contingent upon the employee's execution of a general release and waiver in favor of Springfield, QCR,

employment agreements
with SFC Bank. The new employment agreements are contingent upon the merger becoming effective and, thereafter, will continue in effect in accordance with their terms. The new employment agreements
were entered into in exchange for each executive's agreement to be bound by restrictive covenants that apply at all times during his employment and, in certain cases, for at least 24&nbsp;months
following any termination of employment with QCR or SFC Bank. Under the respective agreements, as of the effective time of the merger, Mr.&nbsp;Fulp will serve as Chief Executive Officer of SFC
Bank, Mr.&nbsp;McNew will serve as President of SFC Bank and Mr.&nbsp;Bossert will serve as Chief Financial Officer of SFC Bank. The agreements all have an initial term that will extend from the
effective time of the merger through December&nbsp;31, 2020, unless either party elects to terminate the agreement in accordance with its terms. Messrs.&nbsp;Fulp and McNew have automatic renewal
provisions in their agreements which will serve to extend the term of the agreements for additional one-year periods beginning on January&nbsp;1, 2020 and each January&nbsp;1 thereafter, unless
either party elects to provide a notice of nonrenewal. In the case of a change in control of QCR or SFC Bank, the agreements will automatically remain in effect for two years following the effective

will be $210,000 and Mr.&nbsp;Bossert's will be $220,000. Each will also be eligible to participate in QCR's deferred compensation plan pursuant to which they will be offered the opportunity to
elect to defer a portion of their annual compensation and receive a matching contribution from QCR or SFC Bank. The matching contribution has an annual maximum limit of $10,000. Further,
Messrs.&nbsp;Fulp, McNew and Bossert will be eligible to participate in the compensation and benefit plans, programs and arrangements sponsored and maintained by QCR and SFC Bank, subject to the
terms and conditions thereof as may be in effect from time to time, as may be applicable to similarly situated senior level employees of QCR and SFC Bank. </FONT></P>

their employment agreements, if any of the executives has his employment terminated by QCR without cause or if he resigns due to a constructive discharge, the executive will be
eligible to receive a severance payment in exchange for the executive's full release of any claims against QCR, SFC Bank and their affiliates. The severance amount will be equal to twice the sum of
the executive's annual base salary and the average of his three most recent annual cash bonuses paid immediately preceding the termination date. The severance will typically be paid in a series of
installments, but if the termination occurs within 24&nbsp;months following a change in control of QCR or SFC Bank, the severance payment will be made in a single lump sum. In addition to the cash
severance payment, each executive would be eligible to receive continued health insurance for a period of 18&nbsp;months at the same cost as would apply to an active employee of QCR or SFC Bank.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the agreements include a provision that will serve to reduce any severance payments or other benefits due to each executive at
the time of a termination of employment to an amount equal to one dollar less than the maximum amount QCR or SFC Bank could pay without loss of deduction under Section&nbsp;280G of the Internal
Revenue Code or the imposition of an excise tax under Section&nbsp;4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Springfield Equity Awards.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Springfield sponsors and maintains its 2008 Stock Option Plan (which we refer to as the "2008 Plan"). The
purpose of the
2008 Plan is to encourage employees of Springfield and its affiliates and subsidiaries to acquire a proprietary and vested interest in the growth and performance of Springfield. The 2008 Plan is also
designed to assist Springfield in attracting and retaining employees by providing them with the opportunity to participate in the success and profitability of Springfield. The 2008 Plan was approved
by Springfield's stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
2008 Plan provides Springfield with the ability to grant both incentive stock options, which are subject to the requirements of Section&nbsp;422 of the Internal Revenue Code, and
nonqualified stock options. Any stock option granted under the 2008 Plan, whether an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option, entitles the holder thereof to purchase a share of
Springfield's common stock at a pre-established option exercise price, provided that such option exercise price can never be less than the fair market value of the underlying share of common stock on
the date of grant of the stock option. Springfield generally granted stock options under the Plan subject to three year vesting periods with one-third of the grant vesting on each of the first, second
and third anniversaries of the date of grant of such award. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under
the merger agreement, immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, Springfield is required to fully vest any outstanding unvested stock options. Each outstanding stock
option will, on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the merger, be cancelled in exchange for a cash payment in an amount equal to the difference between the cash value of the merger
consideration to be paid to any other holder of a share of Springfield common stock and the exercise price of the stock option. Messrs.&nbsp;Fulp and Bossert have been fully vested in their
outstanding stock options since October 2015. As of May&nbsp;15, 2018, Mr.&nbsp;McNew holds 20,000 stock options that will become vested immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. As
of May&nbsp;15, 2018, Messrs.&nbsp;Fulp, McNew and Bossert each holds, in the aggregate, 62,000, 20,000 and 16,000, respectively, stock options over shares of Springfield common stock with a
weighted average exercise price equal to $7.52. </FONT></P>

has also previously awarded to Messrs.&nbsp;Fulp, McNew and Bossert restricted shares of Springfield common stock. The restricted stock units were incentives granted to the
executives as an incentive to further the growth, development, and financial success of Springfield and SFC Bank. From the date of their issuance, the restricted stock entitled the executives to the
same rights as any other holder of Springfield common stock, including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends. However, the restricted stock was subject to a risk of forfeiture if the
executive did not remain continuously employed with Springfield or SFC Bank through certain pre-established vesting dates. Under the award agreements, as amended, for Messrs.&nbsp;Fulp and Bossert,
their restricted stock units would vest as to two-thirds of the award on January&nbsp;1, 2019, or, if later, on December&nbsp;31 of the first </FONT></P>

"SFC Plan")
intended to provide supplemental retirement benefits to a select group of management and key employees as a way to attract and retain such individuals. Pursuant to the SFC Plan, an employee who has
been designated as a participant in the plan is eligible to receive a specified annual benefit for 15&nbsp;years following retirement from employment with SFC Bank. Messrs.&nbsp;Fulp, McNew and
Bossert each is entitled to an annual benefit in the amount of $175,000, $50,000 and $100,000, respectively. The SFC Plan provides that annual benefits due under the plan will vest based on a
participant's continued employment through normal retirement age. If a participant retires before attaining age 60, the participant would not have any vested interest in the annual benefit. If a
participant retires upon or after attaining age 65, the participant would be fully vested in the annual benefit. In addition, the SFC Plan provides for full vesting of a participant's right to an
annual benefit upon the occurrence of various specified events, including a change in control of Springfield or SFC Bank. Unless a participant has otherwise already commenced receipt of installments,
following a change in control of Springfield or SFC Bank, the SFC Plan provides that the series of 15 annual installments will be paid to the participant in a single lump sum. The SFC Plan provides,
generally, for payments to commence upon the earliest to occur of the participant's termination of employment, the participant's death or a change in control of Springfield or SFC Bank. The merger
transaction will constitute a change in control of Springfield for purposes of the SFC Plan. It is anticipated that, following payment of benefits in connection with the merger, the SFC Plan will be
terminated in its entirety. </FONT></P>

sale. If a six-year term of insurance coverage is not available, the term for the insurance will be such other maximum period of time for which coverage is available at a cost not to exceed 150% of
the premiums Springfield paid for its current policy term. Following the effective time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, QCR has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the current and former
directors, officers and employees of Springfield and its subsidiaries for all actions taken by them prior to the effective time of the sale. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;General.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dissenters' rights with respect to Springfield common stock are governed by Section&nbsp;351.455 R.S.Mo. Springfield
stockholders have the
right to dissent from the merger and to obtain payment of the fair value of their shares in the event the merger is consummated. Strict compliance with the dissent procedures is mandatory. Subject to
the terms of the merger agreement, the parties could elect to terminate the merger agreement even if it is approved by QCR and Springfield stockholders, thus terminating dissenters' rights available
to Springfield stockholders. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Springfield
urges any Springfield stockholder who contemplates exercising his, her or its right to dissent to read carefully the provisions of Section&nbsp;351.455 R.S.Mo., which is
attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Appendix&nbsp;B</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>. A more detailed discussion of the provisions of the statute is included below. This
discussion describes the steps that each Springfield stockholder must take to exercise his, her or its right to dissent. Each Springfield stockholder who wishes to dissent should read both the summary
and the full text of the law. Springfield cannot give any Springfield stockholder legal
advice. To completely understand this law, each Springfield stockholder may want, and Springfield encourages any Springfield stockholder seeking to dissent, to consult with his, her or its legal
counsel. Any Springfield stockholder who wishes to dissent should not send in a signed proxy unless he, she or it marks his, her or its proxy to vote against the merger, or marks his, her or its proxy
to abstain with respect to the merger, or such stockholder will lose the right to dissent. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
you desire to submit the written objection required by Section&nbsp;351.455 R.S.Mo. prior to the Springfield special meeting, send or deliver such objection to Springfield
Bancshares,&nbsp;Inc., Corporate Secretary, 2006 South Glenstone Avenue, Springfield, Missouri 65804. Springfield urges any stockholder who wishes to dissent to act carefully. Springfield cannot and
does not accept the risk of late or undelivered written objections. If a dissenting Springfield stockholder's written objection is not timely received by Springfield prior to or at the Springfield
special meeting, then he, she or it will not be entitled to exercise his, her or its dissenters' rights. Springfield's stockholders bear the risk of non-delivery and of untimely delivery. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Section&nbsp;351.455 R.S.Mo.&#151;Dissenters' Rights.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following is a summary of Section&nbsp;351.455 R.S.Mo. and the
procedures that a stockholder must follow to dissent from the proposed merger and to perfect his, her or its dissenters' rights and receive cash rather than shares of QCR common stock if the merger is
completed. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Section&nbsp;351.455 R.S.Mo., which is reprinted in full as </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Appendix&nbsp;B</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> to
this proxy statement/prospectus. </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>Appendix&nbsp;B</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> should be reviewed carefully by any stockholder who wishes to perfect his, her or its dissenters'
rights. Failure to strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Section&nbsp;351.455 R.S.Mo. will, by law, result in the loss of dissenters' rights. It may be prudent for a person considering
whether to dissent to obtain legal counsel. </FONT></P>

R.S.Mo. In addition, any stockholder who returns a signed proxy but fails to provide instructions as to the manner in which such shares are to be voted will be deemed to have voted in favor of

Springfield stockholder and QCR, then payment for such shares must be made by QCR within 90&nbsp;days after the effective time, upon the surrender of the dissenting Springfield stockholder's stock
certificates representing such stockholder's shares. Upon payment of the agreed value, the dissenting Springfield stockholder ceases to have any interest in the shares or in QCR. </FONT></P>

the expiration of the 30-day period, file&nbsp;a petition in any court of competent jurisdiction within the county in which the registered office of the surviving corporation is situated, asking for
a finding and determination of the fair value of such stockholder's shares. The dissenting Springfield stockholder will be entitled to judgment against QCR for an amount equal to the fair value of
such stockholder's shares measured as of the day prior to the Springfield special meeting, together with interest thereon to the date of the judgment. Investment banker opinions as to fairness from a
financial point of view of the consideration payable in a transaction are not opinions as to, and do not address, fair value under the General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
judgment will only be payable upon and simultaneously with the surrender to QCR of the stock certificates representing the shares of Springfield common stock owned by the dissenting
Springfield stockholder. Upon payment of the judgment, such stockholder will cease to have any interest in the shares or in QCR. Further, unless the dissenting stockholder files the petition with the
court within the 60-day time limit described above, such stockholder and all persons claiming under such stockholder shall be conclusively presumed to have approved or ratified the merger and shall be
bound by the terms thereof. The right of a dissenting stockholder to be paid the fair value of such stockholder's shares as provided above ceases if and when Springfield abandons the merger. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The merger agreement provides for the merger of Springfield with and into QCR, with QCR as the surviving company. The merger is anticipated to

Consideration to be received in the merger    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the merger is completed, each share of Springfield common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (other than
any shares owned by QCR or Springfield, and other than any dissenting shares) will be converted into the right to receive (i)&nbsp;$1.50 in cash; and (ii)&nbsp;0.3060 shares of QCR common stock,
subject to certain adjustments, as summarized below. Based on the closing price of QCR common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market of $44.45 as of April&nbsp;17, 2018, the trading day
immediately preceding the public announcement of the merger, the implied merger consideration that a Springfield stockholder would be entitled to receive for each share of Springfield common stock
owned would be $15.10 with an aggregate transaction value of approximately $83.5&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no fractional shares of QCR common stock will be issued in the merger. Instead, QCR will pay to each holder of Springfield common stock who would otherwise

month-end prior to the closing date of the merger, then the cash consideration that each Springfield stockholder would be entitled to receive shall be reduced by the amount of such shortfall divided
by the number of outstanding shares of Springfield common stock at the effective time. For purposes of this provision, Springfield's adjusted tangible stockholders' equity will equal Springfield's
adjusted tangible stockholders' equity reflected on the consolidated balance sheet of Springfield as of the close of business on the final day of the month that immediately precedes the month in which
the closing date occurs, provided, however, that Springfield's adjusted tangible stockholders' equity will be adjusted to reflect the following adjustments, specification and changes: (i)&nbsp;the
impact of the accumulated other comprehensive income will be included; (ii)&nbsp;the after-tax impact of certain transaction expenses will be excluded; (iii)&nbsp;the expenses associated with the
termination and liquidation of the Springfield First Community Bank Supplemental Retirement Plan will be excluded; and (iv)&nbsp;any remediation costs with respect to environmental matters will be
included. As of March&nbsp;31, 2018, Springfield's tangible stockholders' equity was approximately $44.4&nbsp;million. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the parties are not aware
of any existing facts or circumstances that would cause the adjusted tangible stockholders' equity to fall below the amounts set forth below. </FONT></DD></DL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QCR has engaged American Stock Transfer&nbsp;&amp; Trust,&nbsp;LLC to act as its exchange agent to handle the exchange of Springfield common
stock for the merger consideration and the payment of cash for any fractional share interests. Within five business days after the closing date, the exchange agent will send to each Springfield
certificated record holder a letter of transmittal for use in the exchange with instructions explaining how to surrender Springfield common stock certificates to the exchange agent. Springfield
stockholders who surrender their certificates to the exchange agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, will receive the merger consideration. Springfield stockholders that do
not exchange their Springfield common stock will not be entitled to receive the merger consideration or any dividends or other distributions by QCR until their certificates are surrendered. After
surrender of the certificates representing Springfield shares, any unpaid dividends or distributions with respect to the QCR common stock represented by the certificates will be paid without interest. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
no event will QCR, the exchange agent, or any other person be liable to any former holder of shares of Springfield common stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public

No solicitation of or discussions relating to an acquisition proposal    <BR>    </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The merger agreement contains provisions prohibiting Springfield from initiating, soliciting, encouraging or knowingly facilitating an
alternative proposal to the merger. Springfield agreed to immediately cease and terminate any activities, discussions or negotiations conducted before the date of the merger agreement with any persons
other than QCR with respect to any acquisition proposal. Moreover, Springfield has agreed that it will not, and will cause each of its subsidiaries its and its subsidiaries' officers, directors,
agents, advisors and affiliates not to, initiate, solicit, encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiry or proposal or enter into any negotiations or discussions with any person or entity concerning
any proposed acquisition of Springfield or its subsidiaries, or furnish any confidential or nonpublic information to any person or entity proposing or seeking such an acquisition. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However,
the merger agreement provides that Springfield may furnish such information pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement and engage in such negotiations or discussions in
response to an unsolicited acquisition proposal, if the board of directors of Springfield determines in good faith and after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor that such
proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a superior proposal, and the failure to take action with respect to such proposal is reasonably likely to result in a breach of the board of
directors' fiduciary duties. If the board of directors of Springfield determines that it is necessary to pursue a superior proposal in order to act in a manner consistent with its fiduciary duties,
the board may withhold, withdraw, qualify or adversely modify the board's recommendation to Springfield stockholders with respect to the approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the
transaction contemplated thereby, and/or terminate the merger agreement. However, the Springfield board of directors may not terminate the merger </FONT></P>

account the likelihood and timing of consummation of the proposed transaction on its terms, and (iii)&nbsp;taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal. If
QCR terminates the merger agreement because Springfield breaches its covenant not to solicit an acquisition proposal from a third party or if Springfield terminates the merger agreement in order to
enter into an agreement for a superior proposal, Springfield will pay to QCR a termination fee equal to $3.0&nbsp;million. See "Description of the Merger Agreement&#151;Termination fees." </FONT></P>

a registered bank holding company, Springfield files unaudited quarterly and annual reports called "Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies" on Form&nbsp;FR
Y-9C with the Federal Reserve, which we refer to as a Consolidated Financial Report. In addition, SFC Bank files unaudited quarterly and annual reports called "Consolidated Reports of Condition and

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Consolidated Financial Reports and Bank Call Reports are prepared in accordance with regulatory instructions issued by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council. The
financial statements and other information in the Consolidated Financial Reports and Bank Call Reports are not audited by independent auditors. Because of the special supervisory, regulatory and
economic policy needs served by the Consolidated Financial Reports and Bank Call Reports, those regulatory instructions do not in all cases follow generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States, including the opinions and statements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the Accounting Principles Board. Although Consolidated Financial Reports and Bank Call Reports are
primarily supervisory and regulatory documents, rather than financial accounting documents, and do not provide a complete range of financial disclosure, they nevertheless provide important information
concerning Springfield's financial condition and results of operations and the financial condition and results of operations of SFC Bank. </FONT></P>

its Subsidiaries of, or any predecessor thereof, to comply with any Environmental Law. No environmental clearances or other governmental approvals are required for the conduct of the business of
Acquiror or any of its Subsidiaries or the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. To the Knowledge of Acquiror, neither Acquiror nor any of its Subsidiaries is the owner of any interest in

property, would require notification to any Regulatory Authority, clean up, removal or some other remedial action under any Environmental Law at such property or any impacted adjacent or down gradient
property, except where such action would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Acquiror. Except for any matters that have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to

Company Bylaws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the "</FONT><FONT SIZE=2><B>Company Stockholders' Meeting</B></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>") for the purpose of
obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company and Company Board will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain from its stockholders the votes in favor of the adoption of this Agreement

the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, determines in good faith that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation is
reasonably likely to result in a violation of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, then the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
understand that Springfield Bancshares,&nbsp;Inc., a Missouri corporation (the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>"Company")</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> proposes to enter into an Agreement and

pursuant to which the Company will, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, merge with and into Acquiror (the "Merger"), with the Acquiror as the surviving entity in the
Merger. The parties intend that the Merger qualify as a "reorganization" under the provisions of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Code, and that this Agreement be and hereby is adopted as a "plan of
reorganization" within the meaning of Sections&nbsp;354 and 361 of the Code. At the Effective Time each outstanding share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>"Company Common Stock"),
</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> other than any Excluded Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive $1.50 per share in cash, subject to
Section&nbsp;7.10 of the Agreement (the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>"Per Share Cash Consideration")</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> and 0.3060 shares of Acquiror Common Stock (the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>"Per
Share Stock Consideration"</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> and together with the Per Share Cash Consideration, the </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>"Per Share Merger Consideration").</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> The terms

such persons, relative to the Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid to the holders of the Company Common Stock in the Merger, or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. Our opinion
