  1)   Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from IBT Bancorp, Inc. to Isabella Bank Corporation, which also included an amendment to change the purpose for which the Company is organized from “to engage in any activity within the purposes for which corporations may be organized under the Business Corporation Act of Michigan” to “to be registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act, being 12 U.S.C. Sections 1841 to 1850.”
 
  2)   Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized capital stock of the Company from ten million (10,000,000) shares of common stock with no par value, all of one class with voting rights, to fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of common stock with no par value, all of one class with voting rights.
The foregoing amendments to our Articles of Incorporation became effective upon the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the State of Michigan on May 14, 2008.
