1st Source Enters Strategic Partnership with Wasatch Advisors

South Bend, IN – 1st Source Bank, an affiliate of 1st Source Corporation, announced on Monday, August 25, 2008 that its subsidiary, 1st Source Corporation Investment Advisors, Inc., had entered into an agreement to form a long-term strategic partnership with Wasatch Advisors, Inc., a Salt Lake City, Utah registered investment advisory firm. Under the partnership, 1st Source Monogram Mutual Funds - the Income Equity Fund, the Long/Short Fund and the Income Fund will be re-branded as the Wasatch-1st Source Income Equity Fund, the Wasatch-1st Source Long/Short Fund, and the Wasatch-1st Source Income Fund.

The Wasatch-1st Source Funds will continue to be managed by current portfolio managers, Ralph C. Shive, CFA; Michael L. Shinnick; and Paul D. Gifford, CFA. The portfolio managers will follow the same innovative process in leading the Funds that they have used to build their highly regarded long-term track records. The partnership with Wasatch will provide the managers with more research resources and more time to focus on managing their respective funds.

Wasatch will acquire the assets of 1st Source Corporation Investment Advisors, Inc. related to the management of the 1st Source Monogram Mutual Funds and add the three new funds to its Wasatch Funds no-load family. As part of the strategic partnership, $11.7 million will be paid to 1st Source at the closing. 1st Source will also receive performance payments over the next ten years based on the net growth and the investment performance returns of the Funds. The agreement is subject to the approval of regulators, fund shareholders and others, and is expected to close by the end of the year subject to customary closing conditions.

Under terms of the agreement, Ralph Shive and Mike Shinnick will join Wasatch Advisors as employees and eventually move to a new Wasatch office in the South Bend area. They will join with former 1st Source Monogram Special Equity Fund Manager, Brian Bythrow, CFA, who has been with Wasatch since 2003 managing the Wasatch MicroCap Value Fund. Paul Gifford will remain employed and housed with 1st Source
 
 

 
 and become the Chief Investment Officer of 1st Source Corporation Investment Advisors, Inc.

Through this partnership, 1st Source Bank expects to expand and strengthen its investment services for clients.  The additional investment options available through Wasatch will allow for increasing and deepening the personalized investment opportunities and product mix available to 1st Source Trust, Investment and Retirement Plan clients. 1st Source clients will also continue to benefit from the top fund management practices of Ralph Shive, Mike Shinnick, and Paul Gifford.

Christopher J. Murphy, III, Chairman of 1st Source Corporation, commented, “1st Source is pleased to have a partner who assures a strong backup to our investment management team, as well as a partner who has distinguished itself as investment managers working together to achieve superior results for their clients. We believe Wasatch is the perfect fit. This arrangement allows us to offer the investment management expertise we have had for so long, yet gives greater career opportunities to staff, and provides back up for our equity managers.”

According to Samuel S. Stewart, Jr., Ph.D., CFA and Chairman of the Board at Wasatch, “Wasatch is very excited about a strategic partnership with the 1st Source Monogram Mutual Funds. Ralph Shive and Mike Shinnick are a great fit with our collaborative multiple eyes™ process, and bring proven investment expertise that will strengthen the Wasatch team. The 1st Source managers also share Wasatch’s commitment to disciplined long-term investing. We think this is a great partnership for our shareholders through what it brings to our research team, and also because it broadens our range of quality products into three asset classes of particular interest to our clients.”

 “The Wasatch partnership will allow 1st Source direct access to a broader array of well-managed investment options for our clients by partnering with a company that shares a similar vision and goals,” said Steven J. Wessell, Senior Vice President, head of the Personal Asset Management Group at 1st Source Bank. “This will expand and strengthen the services we are able provide to our clients, while allowing the portfolio managers the concentration necessary to continue the much respected performance of their Funds.”
