INDIANA COMMUNITY BANCORP ANNOUNCES DATE OF ANNUAL MEETING
 
June 11, 2012, Columbus, Indiana -- Indiana Community Bancorp (NASDAQ: INCB) (the “Company”), the Columbus-based holding company for Indiana Bank and Trust Company, announced today that its Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on July 24, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express in Edinburgh, Indiana.  The Company expects to mail its definitive proxy statement to all shareholders of record no later than June 25, 2012.  Obtaining the approval of shareholders for the previously announced and pending merger (the “Merger”) of the Company with Old National Bancorp is a condition to the closing of the Merger. The postponement of the Company’s Annual Meeting (normally held in April) permitted matters requiring the approval of the Company’s shareholders that are related to the Merger to be considered at the Annual Meeting, and thereby avoid the need to have two separate meetings.
 

Rule 14a-8 Shareholder Proposal Deadline
 
The date of the 2012 Annual Meeting will be more than 30 days after the anniversary of the 2011 Annual Meeting.  Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, shareholders may present proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2012 Annual Meeting by submitting their proposals to the Company a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials.  The Company’s Board of Directors has set June 18, 2012, as the deadline for receipt of shareholder proposals pursuant to Rule 14a-8.  In order for a proposal under Rule 14a-8 to be considered timely, it must be received by the Company on or prior to June 18, 2012, at the Company’s principal executive offices at 501 Washington Street, Columbus, Indiana 47201, and be directed to the attention of the Secretary of the Company.  All shareholder proposals must be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the Company’s bylaws in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2012 annual meeting.
