On February 28, 2018, Laurence A. Schiffer resigned from Midland States Bancorp, Inc.'s board of directors. Mr. Schiffer resigned because, as a result of the issuance of shares of Midland common stock in the Merger, the shares held by certain family members of Andrew S. Love, Jr. (the Love Family) now represent less than 4.0% of the total voting power of Midland common stock, resulting in the termination of the Love Family's right to designate a director for appointment to Midland's board of directors pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 7, 2014, among Midland, HB Acquisition LLC and Love Savings Holding Company.
