Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

A.   Trust Preferred Securities Offering

     On May 4, 2005,  QCR Holdings,  Inc. (the  "Company")  and its newly formed
     business  trust  subsidiary,  QCR Holdings  Statutory  Trust IV, a Delaware
     statutory  trust (the "Trust"),  consummated the issuance and sale of 5,000
     of the Trust's floating rate capital securities,  with a liquidation amount
     of $1,000 per capital  security  (the  "Capital  Securities"),  in a pooled
     trust preferred transaction. The entire proceeds from the sale by the Trust
     to the  holders of the Capital  Securities  were  combined  with the entire
     proceeds from the sale by the Trust to the Company of its common securities
     and were used by the Trust to purchase  $5,155,000  in principal  amount of
     the floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures of the
     Company.  No  underwriting  commissions  or  placement  fees  were  paid in
     connection  with the  issuances.  All of the  securities  were  issued in a
     private  placement  exempt  from  registration  under  Section  4(2) of the
     Securities  Act of  1933,  as  amended,  and/or  Regulation  D  promulgated
     thereunder.

     The terms of the debt  securities are governed by an Indenture dated May 4,
     2005 between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank,  as Indenture  Trustee.  The
     debt securities accrue interest at a variable rate based on the three-month
     LIBOR, reset and payable quarterly, plus 1.80%. The debt securities are not
     redeemable  by the  Company  during the first five  years,  absent  certain
     changes  in  tax,   investment  company  or  bank  regulatory  statutes  or
     regulations.

     The trust preferred securities were issued pursuant to a Purchase Agreement
     dated  May 3,  2005,  by and among the  Company,  the Trust and an  initial
     purchaser.  The terms of the trust preferred  securities are governed by an
     Amended and Restated  Declaration of Trust by and among the Company,  Wells
     Fargo Bank, as Trustee, and the trust  administrators.  The trust preferred
     securities entitle the holders thereof to quarterly  distributions at a per
     annum rate equal to the three-month  LIBOR plus 1.80%.  The trust preferred
     securities  are not  redeemable  by the Trust  during the first five years,
     absent certain changes in tax, investment company, bank regulatory statutes
     or regulations. Pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement dated May 4, 2005, by and
     between  the Company  and Wells  Fargo  Bank,  as Trustee,  the Company has
     agreed to  guarantee  the  payments  to be made to the holders of the trust
     securities, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

     On May  5,  2005,  the  Company  issued  a  press  release  announcing  the
     transaction. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

B.   Deferred Income Plan

     On January 26, 2005, the board of directors adopted and on May 4, 2005, the
     shareholders  approved the QCR Holdings 2005 Deferred Income Plan. The plan
     will permit  directors and certain  selected key officers to defer all or a
     portion of their fees and cash compensation. The aggregate number of shares
     that may be obtained by directors and selected key officers  under the plan
     is 100,000 shares. All shares distributed under the plan will come from the
     Company's treasury shares or from open market purchases. Upon completing an
     irrevocable  election once a year to defer all or a portion of the fees and
     cash  compensation  a participant  receives from the Company,  the deferred
     amounts will be invested in one of the available  investment  alternatives.
     Currently, only investments in Company common stock are permitted under the
     plan. On May 5, 2005,  the Company  issued a press release  announcing  the
     adoption of the plan. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
