	In a surprise announcement on February 25, 2022, Lynn B. Fuller, executive operating chairman of HTLF, announced his intention to retire from the company although he would retain his place on the company's board of directors until 2024. In a meeting with representatives of the Telegraphy Herald on the previous day he expressed his 'extraordinary disappointment' in recent moves by the financial services company and its intention to move its headquarters to Colorado. In his letter to the company, Fuller had expressed disappointment with the apparent inability of management to articulate and follow a strategy to improve total return to stockholders. He claimed that some directors seemed focused on collapsing the charters of the company's subsidiary banks rather than on profitably expanding the loan portfolio and growing through acquisitions. Fuller stated that while administrative operations would remain in Dubuque for a time, he was concerned that those operations might be relocated to Colorado too.

The announcement came one week after 13 shareholders controlling 6.1% of the common stock sent a letter to the board expressing concerns that Fuller had previously raised. The group included Fuller, a member of the HTLF's board o directors, and board chairs from some of the HTLF's banks. Replacing Fuller was John Schmidt, a member of the board since 2001, who was given the title of independent chairman. Fuller remained on the board until his term expired. (3)
