TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) using a shelf registration process.

THE COMPANY

NewMarket is a holding company operating through its subsidiaries, including Afton Chemical Corporation (Afton), Ethyl Corporation (Ethyl) and American Pacific Corporation (AMPAC).

As a specialty chemicals company, Afton develops and manufactures highly formulated lubricant and fuel additive packages and markets and sells these products worldwide. Afton is one of the largest lubricant and fuel additives companies in the world. Lubricant and fuel additives are necessary products for efficient and reliable operation of vehicles and machinery. From custom-formulated additive packages to market-general additives, we believe Afton provides customers with products and solutions that make engines run smoother, machines last longer, and fuels burn cleaner.

Ethyl provides contracted manufacturing and related services to Afton and to third parties and is a marketer of antiknock compounds in North America.

AMPAC manufactures and sells critical performance additives used in solid rocket motors for space launch and military defense applications. AMPAC also manufactures and sells Halotron BrX, a fire extinguishing agent that replaces legacy high ozone-depleting fire extinguishing agents.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any prospectus supplement or other offering materials may contain or incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples include statements as to our expectations, beliefs, plans, goals, objectives and future financial or other performance. You can often identify forward-looking statements by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “will,” or other words of similar meaning.

Forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve estimates, projections, forecasts and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in such statements. Factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ from those in forward-looking statements may accompany the statements themselves. In addition, generally applicable factors that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ from those in forward-looking statements are, or will be, discussed under the headings “Risk Factors” or “Forward-Looking Statements,” or elsewhere, in the reports we file with the SEC, which are incorporated herein by reference, or in any prospectus supplement or other offering materials we provide.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation, except as may be required by law, to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances occurring or arising after the date on which it is made.

For the reasons noted above, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves certain risks. Our business is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict, involve uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and are often beyond our control. We have identified, or will identify, a number of these factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as in other information or reports included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. Before making a decision to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider these risks, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find More Information” above.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include repaying and refinancing debt, funding acquisitions, capital expenditures or other investments, satisfying working capital needs or repurchasing shares of our common stock. We will describe our intended use of the net proceeds from any particular offering in the related prospectus supplement. The net proceeds from any offering may be invested temporarily until they are used for their intended purpose.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

The debt securities will be our direct, unsecured senior obligations and will rank equally with all of our other senior indebtedness, except to the extent provided for in the applicable prospectus supplement. Because we are a holding company that conducts operations through our subsidiaries, our ability to meet our obligations under the debt securities is dependent on the earnings and cash flows of those subsidiaries and the ability of those subsidiaries to pay dividends or to advance or repay funds to us, which may be subject to statutory, contractual or other restrictions. Unless otherwise provided for in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of debt securities will generally have a junior position to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries.

The debt securities will be issued under the indenture, dated as of March 18, 2021, between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, as amended and supplemented from time to time. The indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Certain provisions of the indenture are described below. To the extent the description of debt securities in any prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the description contained in this prospectus, the description in the prospectus supplement will supersede the description in this prospectus. Capitalized terms used in the summary below have the meanings specified in the indenture.

The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities we may issue or the amount of other indebtedness we may incur. We may issue debt securities from time to time under the indenture in one or more series as approved by our board of directors, a duly authorized committee of our board of directors or certain authorized officers.

Provisions of a Particular Series

The debt securities of a series do not need to be issued at the same time. Unless otherwise provided in the terms of a series of debt securities, such series may be reopened, without notice to or consent of any holder of outstanding debt securities of such series, for issuances of additional debt securities of that series. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the indenture; provided, however, that if any such additional debt securities are not fungible with the outstanding debt securities of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional debt securities will be issued with a different CUSIP number (or other applicable identifying number).

The prospectus supplement or other offering materials relating to a particular series of debt securities will describe the terms of that series, including, if applicable, some or all of the following:

5

The prospectus supplement will also disclose material U.S. federal income tax considerations and any other special considerations with respect to the relevant series of debt securities.

Redemption

Debt securities will be subject to redemption only on the terms set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. In the case of any redemption at our election, we will deliver written notice of such redemption not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. If less than all debt securities of a series are to be redeemed, the particular debt securities of that series to be redeemed will be selected in the manner provided for in the indenture. Debt securities called for redemption will become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption and shall cease to accrue interest as of that date unless we default in the payment of the applicable redemption price and accrued interest, if any.

Certain Covenants

The indenture includes certain customary covenants requiring us, among other things, to:

6

Any additional covenants, including any restrictive covenants, applicable to a given series of debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

The indenture provides that we may not consolidate with or merge into any other Person, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets, unless:

Upon any consolidation, merger, transfer or lease that complies with the above, the successor company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of ours under the indenture with the same effect as if such successor company had been named in our place in the indenture. The predecessor Person will (except in the case of a lease) be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the indenture and any debt securities issued thereunder.

Events of Default

With respect to the debt securities of any series, the following will constitute “Events of Default” under the indenture, subject to any additional limitations and qualifications included in the indenture:

7

If there is a continuing Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of any series (other than an Event of Default regarding certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to us), either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series may declare the principal amount of all of the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to us, unless the principal and accrued and unpaid interest on such debt securities shall have become due and payable, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of such outstanding debt securities. At any time after the trustee or the holders, as the case may be, declare an acceleration with respect to the debt securities of any series, but before the a judgment or decree based on such acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may, under certain conditions, cancel such acceleration if we have cured all Events of Default (other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal) with respect to the debt securities of such series or all such Events of Default have been waived as provided in the indenture.

The indenture provides that, subject to the duties of the trustee to act with the required standard of care, if there is a continuing Event of Default, the trustee need not exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of debt securities, unless such holders have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee. Subject to such provisions for security or indemnification of the trustee and certain other conditions, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power the trustee holds with respect to the debt securities of that series.

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture unless:

The holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, and any premium or interest on, such debt security on or after the date or dates they are to be paid as expressed in such debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment.

We are required to furnish to the trustee annually a statement as to the absence of certain defaults under the indenture or the nature and status of any such defaults. The indenture provides that the trustee need not provide holders of debt securities notice of any default (other than the nonpayment of principal or any premium or interest) if it considers it in the interest of the holders of debt securities not to provide such notice.

8

Modification and Waiver

We and the trustee may amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the amendment. However, no such amendment may, without the consent of the holders of all then outstanding debt securities of the affected series:

The holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive, insofar as that series is concerned, future compliance by us with certain restrictive covenants of the indenture. Prior to any acceleration of maturity of the debt securities of a series, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may waive any past default or Event of Default under the indenture with respect to that series, except a failure by us to pay the principal of, or any premium or interest on, any debt securities of that series or a default with respect to a provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holders of all outstanding debt securities of the affected series.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The indenture will cease to be of further effect with respect to the debt securities of any series when:

9

Notwithstanding the above, certain provisions of the indenture will survive, including with respect to certain rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee.

Defeasance

The debt securities or any series of debt securities may be defeased at any time in accordance with the terms set forth in the indenture. Any defeasance may terminate all of our obligations (with limited exceptions) with respect to such debt securities and the indenture (“legal defeasance”), or it may terminate only our obligations under certain covenants that may be applicable to such debt securities (“covenant defeasance”).

We may exercise our legal defeasance option even though we have also exercised our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise our legal defeasance option, the debt securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. If we exercise the covenant defeasance option, the debt securities may not be accelerated by reference to any restrictive covenants which apply to the debt securities.

To exercise either defeasance option, we must:

If we exercise our option to effect a covenant defeasance as described above and the debt securities are thereafter declared due and payable because of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default caused by failing to comply with the covenants that are defeased), the amount of money and securities we have deposited with the trustee would be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities on their respective due dates but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities at the time of acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. However, we would remain liable for such payments.

Global Securities

We may issue some or all of the debt securities sold pursuant to this prospectus in global form represented by one or more global securities, each of which will represent beneficial interests in the applicable debt securities. We will deposit global securities with, or on behalf of, a depositary, and register them in the name of a nominee of the depositary. Each such global security will constitute a single debt security for purposes of the indenture.

10

So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a global security, the depository or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the owner of that global security. We will make payments of principal of, any premium, and interest on the global security to the depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of that global security. To exercise any of the rights of the registered owners of debt securities, each person holding a beneficial interest in a global security must, except as discussed below, rely on the procedures of the depository.

Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, owners of a beneficial interest in a global security will not be entitled to have any individual debt securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any debt securities and will not be considered the owners of debt securities, unless:

Governing Law

The indenture is, and the debt securities will be, governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The Trustee

U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is the trustee under the indenture. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association and its affiliates have engaged, currently are engaged, and may in the future engage in financial or other transactions with us and/or our affiliates in the ordinary course of their respective businesses.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and continues that is known to the trustee, the trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. The trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the indenture at the request or direction of any holder pursuant to the indenture, unless such holder has offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

11

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the debt securities being offered under this prospectus in any one or more of the following ways:

We may distribute the debt securities from time to time in one or more transactions at:

We may directly solicit offers to purchase debt securities, or we may designate agents to solicit such offers. We will, in the prospectus supplement or other offering materials relating to such offering, name any agent that could be viewed as an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and describe any commissions we must pay. Any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement or other offering materials, on a firm commitment basis. Agents, dealers and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

If any underwriters or agents are utilized in the sale of the debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will enter into an underwriting agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectus supplement or other offering materials relating to such offering their names and the terms of our agreement with them.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale.

In order to facilitate the offering of the debt securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the debt securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such debt securities. Specifically, any underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the debt securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the debt securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

Any underwriter, agent or dealer utilized in the initial offering of securities will not confirm sales to accounts over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of its customer.

12

LEGAL MATTERS

The legality of the debt securities in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered will be passed on for us by McGuireWoods LLP. Underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, who we will identify in a prospectus supplement or other offering materials, may have their counsel pass upon certain legal matters in connection with the debt securities offered by this prospectus.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “Act”) provides that, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a Virginia corporation must indemnify a director or officer who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

The Act also permits a Virginia corporation to indemnify any director or officer who is party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director or officer against any liability incurred if the director or officer (i) conducted himself or herself in good faith, (ii) believed, in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that such conduct was in the corporation’s best interests and, in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. However, under the Act, a Virginia corporation may not indemnify any director or officer (i) in connection with any proceeding in which he or she is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her, or (ii) in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for expenses incurred if it is determined that he or she has met the relevant standard of conduct.

The Act further permits a Virginia corporation to make any further indemnity, including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, and to make additional provision for advances and reimbursement of expenses, to any director or officer that may be authorized by the articles of incorporation or any bylaw made by the shareholders or any resolution adopted, before or after the event, by the shareholders, except an indemnity against his or her willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law.

The registrant’s articles of incorporation provide for mandatory indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the Act of any director or officer who is or was a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the registrant, or who is serving at the request of the registrant in a similar capacity with another enterprise or entity.

II-1

In addition, the registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that may provide indemnification to our officers and directors in certain circumstances.

Under the Act, in any proceeding brought by or in the right of a corporation or by or on behalf of the corporation’s shareholders, the damages assessed against a director or officer arising out of a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct cannot exceed the lesser of (i) the monetary amount, including the elimination of liability, specified in the articles of incorporation or, if approved by shareholders, the bylaws; or (ii) the greater of $100,000 or the amount of cash compensation received by the officer or director from the corporation during the twelve months immediately preceding the act or omission for which liability was imposed. The liability of a director or officer is not limited, however, if the officer or director engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law, including, without limitation, any claim of unlawful insider trading or market manipulation.

The registrant’s articles of incorporation provide for the limitation or elimination of liability of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Act.

Item 16. Exhibits.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

Registration Statement on Form S-3

2. Power and Authority. The Company has the corporate power and authority to issue the Debt Securities.

3

3. Debt Securities. With respect to any Debt Securities, when (i) Authorizing Resolutions with respect to such Debt Securities have been adopted, (ii) the terms of such Debt Securities for their issuance and sale have been established in conformity with such Authorizing Resolutions and the Indenture, (iii) such Debt Securities have been issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the applicable supplement to such Prospectus, (iv) the Company has received the consideration provided for in the applicable supplement to the Prospectus and any applicable definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement and (v) such Debt Securities have been authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, such Debt Securities will constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, under the laws of the State of New York.

Matters Excluded from Our Opinions

We express no opinion with respect to the following matters:

(a) Indemnification and Change of Control. The enforceability of any agreement of the Company as may be included in the terms of the Debt Securities or in the Indenture relating to (i) indemnification, contribution or exculpation from costs, expenses or other liabilities or (ii) changes in the organizational control or ownership of the Company, which agreement (in the case of clause (i) or clause (ii)) is contrary to public policy or applicable law.

(b) Jurisdiction, Venue, etc. The enforceability of any agreement of the Company in the Indenture to submit to the jurisdiction of any specific federal or state court (other than the enforceability in a court of the State of New York of any such agreement to submit to the jurisdiction of a court of the State of New York), to waive any objection to the laying of the venue, to waive the defense of forum non conveniens in any action or proceeding referred to therein, to waive trial by jury, to effect service of process in any particular manner or to establish evidentiary standards, and any agreement of the Company regarding the choice of law governing the Indenture (other than the enforceability in a court of the State of New York or in a federal court sitting in the State of New York and applying New York law to any such agreement that the laws of the State of New York shall govern).

(c) Remedies. The enforceability of any provision in the Indenture to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to any other right or remedy, that the election of some particular remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more others or that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy.

Qualifications and Limitations Applicable to Our Opinions

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and limitations:

(a) Applicable Law. Our opinions are limited to the Applicable Law, and we do not express any opinion concerning any other law.

(b) Bankruptcy. Our opinions are subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency (including laws relating to preferences, fraudulent transfers and equitable subordination), reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

(c) Equitable Principles. Our opinions are subject to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing. In applying such principles, a court, among other things, might limit the availability of specific equitable remedies (such as injunctive relief and the remedy of specific performance), might not allow a creditor to accelerate maturity of debt or exercise other remedies upon the occurrence of a default deemed immaterial or for non-credit reasons or might decline to order a debtor to perform covenants in the Indenture.

4

(d) Unenforceability of Certain Provisions. Provisions contained in the Debt Securities or the Indenture which require waivers or amendments to be made only in writing may be unenforceable or ineffective, in whole or in part. The inclusion of such provisions, however, does not render any Debt Security or the Indenture invalid as a whole.

(e) Choice of New York Law and Forum. To the extent that our opinions relate to the enforceability of the choice of New York law or any choice of New York forum provisions of the Indenture, our opinion is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§ 5-1401 and 5-1402 and N.Y. CPLR 327(b) and is subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be limited by principles of public policy, comity and constitutionality. We express no opinion as to whether a United States federal court would have subject-matter or personal jurisdiction over a controversy arising under the Indenture.

(f) Currency Conversion. We advise you that, as of the date of this opinion, a judgment for money in an action based on a Debt Security or the Indenture denominated in a currency other than United States dollars in a federal or state court in the United States ordinarily would be rendered or enforced in the United States only in United States dollars. The date and method used to determine the rate of conversion of the foreign currency into United States dollars will depend on various factors, including which court renders the judgment. We express no opinion as to whether a court would award a judgment in a currency other than United States dollars or the particular date or rate of exchange that would be used by such court in the entry of a judgment.

Miscellaneous

The foregoing opinions are being furnished only for the purpose referred to in the first paragraph of this opinion letter. Our opinions are based on statutes, regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations which are subject to change. We undertake no responsibility to update or supplement these opinions subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Headings in this opinion letter are intended for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its interpretation.

Exhibit 1

ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

OF

U. S. BANK TRUST COMPANY, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

For the purpose of organizing an association (the “Association”) to perform any lawful activities of national banks, the undersigned enter into the following Articles of Association:

FIRST. The title of this Association shall be U. S. Bank Trust Company, National Association.

SECOND. The main office of the Association shall be in the city of Portland, county of Multnomah, state of Oregon. The business of the Association will be limited to fiduciary powers and the support of activities incidental to the exercise of those powers. The Association may not expand or alter its business beyond that stated in this article without the prior approval of the Comptroller of the Currency.

THIRD. The board of directors of the Association shall consist of not less than five nor more than twenty-five persons, the exact number to be fixed and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full board of directors or by resolution of a majority of the shareholders at any annual or special meeting thereof. Each director shall own common or preferred stock of the Association or of a holding company owning the Association, with an aggregate par, fair market, or equity value of not less than $1,000, as of either (i) the date of purchase, (ii) the date the person became a director, or (iii) the date of that person’s most recent election to the board of directors, whichever is more recent. Any combination of common or preferred stock of the Association or holding company may be used.

Any vacancy in the board of directors may be filled by action of a majority of the remaining directors between meetings of shareholders. The board of directors may increase the number of directors up to the maximum permitted by law. Terms of directors, including directors selected to fill vacancies, shall expire at the next regular meeting of shareholders at which directors are elected, unless the directors resign or are removed from office. Despite the expiration of a director’s term, the director shall continue to serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until there is a decrease in the number of directors and his or her position is eliminated.

Honorary or advisory members of the board of directors, without voting power or power of final decision in matters concerning the business of the Association, may be appointed by resolution of a majority of the full board of directors, or by resolution of shareholders at any annual or special meeting. Honorary or advisory directors shall not be counted to determined the number of directors of the Association or the presence of a quorum in connection with any board action, and shall not be required to own qualifying shares.

- 1 -

FOURTH. There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders to elect directors and transact whatever other business may be brought before the meeting. It shall be held at the main office or any other convenient place the board of directors may designate, on the day of each year specified therefor in the Bylaws, or if that day falls on a legal holiday in the state in which the Association is located, on the next following banking day. If no election is held on the day fixed or in the event of a legal holiday on the following banking day, an election may be held on any subsequent day within 60 days of the day fixed, to be designated by the board of directors, or, if the directors fail to fix the day, by shareholders representing two-thirds of the shares issued and outstanding. In all cases, at least 10 days’ advance notice of the meeting shall be given to the shareholders by first-class mail.

In all elections of directors, the number of votes each common shareholder may cast will be determined by multiplying the number of shares he or she owns by the number of directors to be elected. Those votes may be cumulated and cast for a single candidate or may be distributed among two or more candidates in the manner selected by the shareholder. On all other questions, each common shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by him or her.

A director may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the board of directors, its chairperson, or to the Association, which resignation shall be effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice specifies a later effective date.

A director may be removed by the shareholders at a meeting called to remove him or her, when notice of the meeting stating that the purpose or one of the purposes is to remove him or her is provided, if there is a failure to fulfill one of the affirmative requirements for qualification, or for cause; provided, however, that a director may not be removed if the number of votes sufficient to elect him or her under cumulative voting is voted against his or her removal.

FIFTH. The authorized amount of capital stock of the Association shall be 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the par value of ten dollars ($10) each; but said capital stock may be increased or decreased from time to time, according to the provisions of the laws of the United States.

Transfers of the Association’s stock are subject to the prior written approval of a federal depository institution regulatory agency. If no other agency approval is required, the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency must be obtained prior to any such transfers.

Unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Association or required by law, (1) all matters requiring shareholder action, including amendments to the Articles of Association must be approved by shareholders owning a majority voting interest in the outstanding voting stock, and (2) each shareholder shall be entitled to one vote per share.

- 2 -

Unless otherwise specified in the Articles of Association or required by law, all shares of voting stock shall be voted together as a class, on any matters requiring shareholder approval.

Unless otherwise provided in the Bylaws, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting is the close of business on the day before the first notice is mailed or otherwise sent to the shareholders, provided that in no event may a record date be more than 70 days before the meeting.

The Association, at any time and from time to time, may authorize and issue debt obligations, whether subordinated, without the approval of the shareholders. Obligations classified as debt, whether subordinated, which may be issued by the Association without the approval of shareholders, do not carry voting rights on any issue, including an increase or decrease in the aggregate number of the securities, or the exchange or reclassification of all or part of securities into securities of another class or series.

SIXTH.

The board of directors shall have the power to:

SEVENTH. The board of directors shall have the power to change the location of the main office to any authorized branch within the limits of the city of Portland, Oregon, without the approval of the shareholders, or with a vote of shareholders owning two-thirds of the stock of the Association for a location outside such limits and upon receipt of a certificate of approval from the Comptroller of the Currency, to any other location within or outside the limits of the city of Portland, Oregon, but not more than thirty miles beyond such limits. The board of directors shall have the power to establish or change the location of any office or offices of the Association to any other location permitted under applicable law, without approval of shareholders, subject to approval by the Comptroller of the Currency.

EIGHTH. The corporate existence of this Association shall continue until termination according to the laws of the United States.

NINTH. The board of directors of the Association, or any shareholder owning, in the aggregate, not less than 25 percent of the stock of the Association, may call a special meeting of shareholders at any time. Unless otherwise provided by the Bylaws or the laws of the United States, or waived by shareholders, a notice of the time, place, and purpose of every annual and special meeting of the shareholders shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed at least 10, and no more than 60, days prior to the date of the meeting to each shareholder of record at his/her address as shown upon the books of the Association. Unless otherwise provided by the Bylaws, any action requiring approval of shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting.

TENTH. These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular or special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock of the Association, unless the vote of the holders of a greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the holders of such greater amount; provided, that the scope of the Association’s activities and services may not be expanded without the prior written approval of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Association’s board of directors may propose one or more amendments to the Articles of Association for submission to the shareholders.
