Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 13, 2013, QCR Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("QCR Holdings"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger between QCR Holdings, QCR Acquisition, LLC, a Delaware limited liability corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of QCR Holdings, and Community National Bancorporation, an Iowa corporation ("Community National") (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, QCR Acquisition, LLC will be merged with and into Community National with QCR Acquisition, LLC as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013. The description of the Merger Agreement contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, QCR Holdings will acquire 100% of Community National's outstanding common stock for aggregate consideration of approximately 70% QCR Holdings common stock and 30% cash. Each share of Community National common stock will be entitled to receive 0.40 shares of QCR Holdings common stock and cash consideration of $3.00, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Based on the closing price of QCR Holdings common stock on February 13, 2013, the implied valuation of the acquisition is approximately $20.1 million.

The Merger has been unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of QCR Holdings and Community National, and is subject to certain regulatory approvals as well as the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of more than one-half of Community National's outstanding shares. QCR Holdings and Community National have made customary representations and warranties about their business and covenants pending the closing of the Merger, including covenants by each of QCR Holdings and Community National to conduct its business in the ordinary course and to cause a shareholder meeting to be held to vote upon the Merger Agreement. Community National has agreed not to
(i) solicit proposals related to alternative business combination transactions or (ii) subject to certain exceptions, enter into discussions or negotiations or provide confidential information in connection with any proposals for alternative business combination transactions. QCR Holdings will register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares to be issued in connection with the Merger.

Each party also has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances. Either QCR Holdings or Community National may, with certain exceptions, terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger is not consummated by end of the day on June 30, 2013.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon completion of the Merger, Michael L. Peterson, the current Chairman of the Board of Community National, will join QCR Holdings' board of directors. In addition, following the Merger Josef Vich, President and Chief Executive Officer of Community National Bank, will serve as the Vice Chairman at Community National Bank and Stacey Bentley will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of Community National Bank.

The Merger Agreement, which has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms, contains representations and warranties of each of QCR Holdings and Community National. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the Merger Agreement and are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed by the respective parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specific date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a shareholder might view as material, or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts. Interested parties should read the Merger Agreement, together with the other information concerning the parties, including the information that QCR Holdings publicly files in reports and statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
