ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

Merger

First Midwest Bancorp, Inc.

On February 15, 2022, Old National completed its previously announced merger of equals transaction with First Midwest pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 30, 2021, to combine in an all-stock transaction. Following the merger, the new organization is operating under the Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank names, with headquarters and the principal office located in Evansville, Indiana and commercial and consumer banking operations headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Old National believes that it will be able to achieve synergies and cost savings by integrating the operations of the companies. The combined organization has a presence in additional Midwestern markets, strong commercial banking capabilities, a robust retail footprint, and a significant wealth platform. The combined organization also creates the scale and profitability to accelerate digital and technology capabilities to drive future investments in consumer and commercial banking, as well as wealth management, services.

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, each First Midwest common stockholder received 1.1336 shares of Old National common stock for each share of First Midwest common stock such stockholder owned, plus, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Old National common stock. Each outstanding share of 7.000% fixed-rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series A, no par value, and each outstanding share of 7.000% fixed-rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series C, no par value, of First Midwest was converted into the right to receive one share of an applicable newly created series of Old National preferred stock, no par value, having terms that are not materially less favorable than the applicable series of outstanding First Midwest preferred stock (respectively, “Old National Series A Preferred Stock” and “Old National Series C Preferred Stock,” and collectively, the “Old National Preferred Stock”). In this regard, Old National issued 108,000 shares of Old National Series A Preferred Stock and 122,500 shares of Old National Series C Preferred Stock. Old National entered into two deposit agreements, each dated as of February 15, 2022, by and among Old National, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as depository, and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts in connection with the issuance of the Old National Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the deposit agreements, Old National issued 4,320,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Old National Series A Preferred Stock, and 4,900,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Old National Series C Preferred Stock.
