Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D amends the amended and restated Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2018 (the “Restated Filing”) (the Restated Filing and this Amendment No. 6 are collectively referred to herein as the “Schedule 13D”).  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Restated Filing.
As a result of the transaction discussed below, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any of the Common Stock of the Company.  So, upon the filing of this amendment, the Reporting Persons will cease to be reporting persons with regard to the Common Stock.
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction

Northwest Bancshares, Inc. (“Northwest Bancshares”) received all regulatory approvals and non-objections required pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger with MutualFirst Financial, dated October 29, 2019, and, on April 24, 2020, MutualFirst Financial merged with and into Northwest Bancshares, with Northwest Bancshares as the surviving entity (the “Merger”).  Then on May 4, 2020, MutualFirst filed a Form 15 with the SEC terminating its registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and suspending its duty to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Company

As a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons do not own any shares of Common Stock.  The Reporting Persons made no transactions in the Common Stock within the past 60 days.
