WEST BANCORPORATION INC Files SEC form 8-K, Change in Directors or Principal Officers

Item 5.02(e) Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. West Bancorporation, Inc. (the "Company") and its former Chief Executive Officer Thomas E. Stanberry entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the "Agreement") on September 18, 2009. The Agreement provides that if at any time before July 15, 2012, the controlling law for the Treasury's TARP program is interpreted or changed so the Company may in the future pay Mr. Stanberry all or any part of a Severance Payment as defined in his May 23, 2008, Employment Agreement ("Employment Agreement"), then the Company shall make the payment.
