NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY

2014 Acquisitions

Tower Financial Corporation

On September 10, 2013, Old National announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Tower Financial Corporation (“Tower”) through a stock and cash merger. The acquisition contemplated by this agreement was completed effective April 25, 2014 (the “Closing Date”). Tower was an Indiana bank holding company with Tower Bank & Trust Company as its wholly-owned subsidiary. Headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Tower operated seven banking centers and had approximately $556 million in trust assets under management on the Closing Date. The merger strengthens Old National’s position as the third largest deposit holder in Indiana and Old National believes that it will be able to achieve cost savings by integrating the two companies and combining accounting, data processing, retail and lending support, and other administrative functions after the merger, which will enable Old National to achieve economies of scale in these areas.

The total purchase price for Tower was $110.4 million, consisting of $31.7 million of cash and the issuance of 5.6 million shares of Old National Common Stock valued at $78.7 million. This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while $5.7 million of transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred.

Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on assumptions that are subject to change, the purchase price for the Tower acquisition is allocated as follows (in thousands):

On January 8, 2014, Old National announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire United Bancorp, Inc. (“United”) through a stock and cash merger. The acquisition contemplated by this agreement was completed effective July 31, 2014 (the “Closing Date”).

Headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United operated eighteen banking centers and as of June 30, 2014, United had total loans of approximately $665 million, $770 milion of deposits and approximately $688 million in trust assets under management. The merger doubles Old National’s presence in Michigan to 36 total branches and Old National believes that it will be able to achieve cost savings by integrating the two companies and combining accounting, data processing, retail and lending support, and other administrative functions after the merger, which will enable Old National to achieve economies of scale in these areas.

The total purchase price for United was $157.8 million, consisting of $34.0 million of cash, the issuance of 9.1 million shares of Old National Common Stock valued at $122.0 million, and the assumption of United’s options and stock appreciation rights, valued at $1.8 million. This acquisition will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company is in the process of conducting assessments of net assets acquired and determining the fair values of these identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Transaction and integration costs of $2.7 million associated with the acquisition were expensed during the second quarter and remaining integration costs will be expensed in future quarters as incurred.
