Item 2.02.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 27, 2009, German American Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "German American"), issued a press release announcing its results for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, and making other disclosures.  The press release (including the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, and other financial data) is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information incorporated by reference herein from Exhibit 99 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 5.03.  Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On July 27, 2009, German American Bancorp, Inc., amended and again restated its Restated Bylaws by action of its Board of Directors.

The principal change made by the Restated Bylaws, as further amended and restated effective July 27, 2009, was to elect not to be governed by certain changes to the Indiana Business Corporation Law ("IBCL") that were made effective July 1, 2009 (for those companies not electing to opt out of such changes) that had the effect of requiring publicly held corporations incorporated under the IBCL to classify their boards of directors into multiple groups, each elected in different years for multi-year terms. While the Company presently  has such a classified board structure and no change was made to that board structure by the Restated Bylaws, the Company's Board of Directors presently believes that maintaining corporate flexibility is advantageous.  Accordingly, by Section 2.2 of the Restated Bylaws, the Corporation has elected not to be governed by such provisions, subject to the Corporation's reserved right to rescind that bylaw provision and make the IBCL's requirements of a classified board applicable to it at a later date.

The Restated Bylaws reflect amendments from the prior Restated Bylaws in the following additional respects:

 
·
changing the methods of delivering notices of meetings of shareholders pursuant to Sections 1.3 to expressly authorize the Corporation to use a "householding" procedure to cut its costs when mailing to multiple shareholders who share a common address, subject to certain conditions;

 
·
reorganizing the substantive content found in prior Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of Article II (Directors) by subdividing those two sections into four sections, redesignated as Sections 2.1 through 2.4, for improved readability without any intended substantive change (other than the opt out of the statutory classified board requirement reflected by the last sentence of new Section 2.2 as described above);

 
 

 

 
·
changing the methods of delivering notices of annual, regular and special meetings of the Corporation's Board of Directors (if required) pursuant to Sections 2.5 and 2.6 of the Restated Bylaws (former Sections 2.3 and 2.4) in accordance with changes to the IBCL recognizing modern electronic communication methods and to reflect changes in the Board's practices in these regards;

 
·
changing the officer structure of the Corporation as defined by Article III, which changes define the separate roles of the Chairman of the Board and of the Chief Executive Officer in corporate governance (if those two offices should in the future cease to be held by the same individual), and making related conforming changes throughout the new Restated Bylaws to eliminate the former references to the former combined officer position of President and Chief Executive Officer; and

 
·
providing a new rule in Section 10.1 that states that words used in the Restated Bylaws that are not otherwise defined but that are defined by the IBCL shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings set forth in the IBCL.

The text of the Restated Bylaws of German American Bancorp, Inc., including the July 27, 2009, amendments, is set forth in Exhibit 3 to this report, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

As announced in the press release that is furnished as Exhibit 99 to this report, the Company's Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.14 per share which will be payable on August 20, 2009 to shareholders of record as of August 10, 2009.

Mark A. Schroeder has been appointed by the Board of Directors to the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.   Previously, Mr. Schroeder held the office of President and Chief Executive Officer.

RESTATED BYLAWS
OF GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC.
(as amended through July 27, 2009)

ARTICLE I

Meetings of Shareholders

Section 1.1.  Annual Meetings.  Annual meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation shall be held on such date and at such hour and such place within or without the State of Indiana as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

Section 1.2.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation may be called at any time by the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board and shall be called by the Board of Directors if the Secretary receives written, dated, and signed demands for a special meeting, describing in reasonable detail the purpose or purposes for which it is to be held, from the holders of shares representing at least 25 percent of all votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting.  If the Secretary receives one or more proper written demands for a special meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may set a record date for determining shareholders entitled to make such demand.  The Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board, as the case may be, calling a special meeting of shareholders shall set the date, time, and place of such meeting, which may be held within or without the State of Indiana.

Section 1.3.  Notices.  A written notice, stating the date, time and place of any meeting of the shareholders, and in the case of a special meeting the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called, shall be delivered by the Secretary of the Corporation to each shareholder of record of the Corporation entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting no fewer than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, or as otherwise provided by the Corporation Law.  In the event of a special meeting of shareholders required to be called as the result of a demand therefore made by shareholders, such notice shall be given no later than the sixtieth day after the Corporation's receipt of the demand requiring the meeting to be called.  Notice of shareholders' meetings, if mailed, shall be mailed, postage prepaid, to each shareholder at his or her address shown in the Corporation's current record of shareholders; provided, however, that notice to shareholders who share a common address may be delivered and shall be effective if delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Corporation Law applicable to notices to shareholders who share a common address.

A shareholder or his or her proxy may at any time waive notice of a meeting if the waiver is in writing and is delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the Corporation's records.  A shareholder's attendance at a meeting, whether in person or by proxy, (a) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholders or his or her proxy at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and (b) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder or his or her proxy objects to considering the matter when it is presented.  Each shareholder who has in the manner above provided waived notice or objection to notice of the shareholders' meeting shall be conclusively presumed to have been given due notice of such meeting, including the purpose or purposes thereof.

 
 

 

If an annual or special shareholders' meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment, unless a new record date is or must be established for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.4.  Voting.  Except as otherwise provided by the Corporation Law or the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation, each capital share of any class of the Corporation that is outstanding at the record date and represented in person or by proxy at the annual or special meeting shall entitle the record holder thereof, or his or her proxy, to one vote on each matter voted on at the meeting.

Section 1.5.  Quorum.  Unless the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or the Corporation Law provide otherwise, at all meetings of shareholders a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum for action on the matter.  Action may be taken at a shareholders' meeting only on matters with respect to which a quorum exists; provided, however, that any meeting of shareholders, including annual and special meetings and any adjournments thereof, may be adjourned to a later date although less than a quorum is present.  Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for any quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any meeting held pursuant to an adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.

Section 1.6.  Vote Required to Take Action.  If a quorum exists as to a matter to be considered at a meeting of shareholders, action on such matter (other than the election of Directors) is approved if the votes properly cast favoring the action exceed the votes properly cast opposing the action, unless the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or the Corporation Law requires a greater number of affirmative votes.  Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast.

Section 1.7.  Record Date.  Only such persons shall be entitled to notice of or to vote, in person or by proxy, at any shareholders' meeting as shall appear as shareholders upon the books of the Corporation as of such record date as the Board of Directors shall determine, which date may not be earlier than the date 70 days immediately preceding the meeting unless otherwise permitted by the Corporation Law.  In the absence of such determination, the record date shall be the fiftieth day immediately preceding the date of such meeting.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, shareholders shall be determined as of the close of business on the record date.

 
2

 

Section 1.8.  Proxies.  A shareholder may vote his or her shares either in person or by proxy.  A shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder (including authorizing the proxy to receive, or to waive, notice of any shareholders' meetings within the effective period of such proxy) by signing an appointment form, either personally or by the shareholder's attorney-in-fact.  An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes and is effective for 11 months unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form.  The proxy's authority may be limited to a particular meeting or may be general and authorize the proxy to represent the shareholder at any meeting of shareholders held within the time provided in the appointment form.  Subject to the Corporation Law and to any express limitation on the proxy's authority appearing on the face of the appointment form, the Corporation is entitled to accept the proxy's vote or other action as that of the shareholder making the appointment.

Section 1.9.  Director Nominees.  The only persons who shall be eligible for election to the Board of Directors at any meeting of shareholders at which one or more directors are to be elected are (a) those persons named in (or replacements thereof named in accordance with) a proxy or information statement prepared on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and distributed to shareholders in connection with such meeting, and (b) other persons nominated from the floor of such shareholders meeting by a shareholder but only if the shareholder who submits such nomination notifies the Secretary of the Corporation not later than ten business days prior to the shareholder meeting at which such nomination is to be considered of such shareholder's intent to nominate that particular person(s).

ARTICLE II

Directors

Section 2.1.  Number and Term.  The business of the Corporation shall be managed by a Board of Directors consisting of at least 9 Directors and no more than 14 Directors.  The Directors and each of them shall have no authority to bind the Corporation except when acting as a Board or as a committee established by the Board and granted authority to bind the Corporation.  The exact number of Directors of the Corporation shall be fixed by the Board of Directors within the range established by this Section 2.1, and may be changed within that range from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Section 2.2.  Classification of Board of Directors.  The Directors shall be divided into three equal (or as nearly equal as possible) classes.  Only one class of Directors shall be elected at any annual meeting, and the term of the class of Directors elected at each annual meeting shall extend from the date of such annual meeting until the time of the election of directors at the annual meeting in the third year after the year in which such class is elected.   A Director’s term, however, shall terminate upon his or her death, resignation, disqualification, or removal, and, despite the expiration of a Director's term, the Director shall continue to serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified.  Vacancies caused by an increase in the number of Directors shall be apportioned so as to make the classes as nearly equal as possible. The classes and terms of the Directors shall not be governed by the provisions of the Corporation Law codified at Indiana Code §23-1-33-6(c);  provided, however, the Corporation's election not to be governed by the provisions of this subsection of the Corporation Law that is evidenced by this sentence  may subsequently be rescinded by action of the Board of Directors in accordance with such subsection.

 
3

 

Section 2.3.  Age Qualification Requirement.  No Director shall be elected after reaching the age of 69 years.  The Board of Directors may in its discretion from time to time consider and grant waivers from the Director qualification requirement included in the immediately preceding sentence to permit a Director who otherwise would not be qualified under this Section 2.3 nevertheless to be elected and serve on the Board of Directors.

Section 2.4.  Quorum and Vote Required to Take Action.  A majority of the members of the Board of Directors (the size of which shall be determined in accordance with the latest action of the Board of Directors fixing the number of Directors) shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business, except the filling of vacancies.  If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Directors present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, unless the act of a greater number is required by the Corporation Law, the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

Section 2.5.  Annual and Regular Meetings.  The Board of Directors shall meet once following the election of Directors at each annual meeting, on such date and at such time and place as the Board of Directors may fix, for the purpose of taking annual organizational actions and considering such other matters as may properly come before the meeting.  Other regular meetings of the Board of Directors, in addition to said annual meeting, shall be held on such dates, at such times, and at such places as shall be fixed by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board may alter the date, time or place previously fixed for the annual meeting or any regular meeting of the Board of Directors.  Whenever (in accordance with this Section 2.5) the date, time or place of an annual or regular meeting shall be fixed by action of the Board of Directors, or shall be altered by action of the Board of Directors or by the Chairman of the Board, notice of this action fixing or altering such date, time or place shall be given to each Director not present when such action was taken upon not less than 24 hours' written or oral notice given to each Director in the same manner as for special meetings;  otherwise, no notice of the holding or of the date, time and place of an annual or regular meeting shall be required.

Section 2.6.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, or by a majority of the Board of Directors, upon not less than 24 hours' written or oral notice given to each Director of the date, time and place of the meeting, which notice need not specify the purpose or purposes of the special meeting.  The provisions of the Corporation Law codified at Indiana Code §23-1-20-29 shall apply to the methods of giving (and the rules for determining the effectiveness of) such notices.  Notice of any meeting of the Board may be waived in writing at any time if the waiver is signed by the Director entitled to the notice and is filed with the minutes of Corporate records.  A Director's attendance at or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to the Director of the meeting, unless the Director at the beginning of the meeting (or promptly upon the Director's arrival) objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting.

 
4

 

Section 2.7.  Written Consents.  Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all members of the Board.  The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by each Director, and included in the minutes or filed with the corporate records reflecting the action taken.  Action taken under this Section 2.7 is effective when the last Director signs the consent, unless the consent specifies a different prior or subsequent effective date, in which case the action is effective on or as of the specified date.  A consent signed under this Section 2.7 has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document.

Section 2.8.  Participation by Conference Telephone.  The Board of Directors may permit any or all Directors to participate in a regular or special meeting by, or through the use of, any means of communication, such as conference telephone, by which all Directors participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting.  A Director participating in a meeting by such means shall be deemed to be present in person at the meeting.

Section 2.9.  Committees.

(a)           The Board of Directors may create one or more committees and appoint members of the Board of Directors to serve on them, by resolution of the Board of Directors adopted by a majority of all the Directors in office when the resolution is adopted.  Each committee may have one or more members, and all the members of a committee shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.

(b)           To the extent specified by the Board of Directors in the resolutions creating a committee (including any charter of a committee that is adopted by resolutions of the Board of Directors), each committee may exercise all of the authority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that a committee may not:

(1)           authorize dividends or other distributions as defined by the Corporation Law, except a committee may authorize or approve a reacquisition of shares if done according to a formula or method prescribed by the Board of Directors;

(2)           approve or propose to shareholders action that is required to be approved by shareholders;

(3)           fill vacancies on the Board of Directors or on any of its committees;

(4)           amend the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation;

(5)           adopt, amend, repeal or waive any provision of these Bylaws; or

(6)           approve a plan of merger not requiring shareholder approval.

(c)           Except to the extent inconsistent with the resolutions creating a committee, Sections 2.4 through 2.8 of these Bylaws, which govern meetings, action without meetings, notice and waiver of notice, quorum and voting requirements, and telephone participation in meetings of the Board of Directors, apply to the committee and its members as well.

ARTICLE III

Officers

Section 3.1.  Designation, Selection and Terms.  The officers of the Corporation shall consist of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, one or more Presidents, one or more Vice Presidents, and the Secretary.  The Board of Directors may also elect one or more Assistant Secretaries and such other officers or assistant officers as it may from time to time determine by resolution creating the office and defining the duties thereof.  In defining the duties of officers, the Board of Directors may designate a chief operating officer, a chief administrative officer, a chief financial officer, a chief accounting officer or similar functional titles.  The officers of the Corporation shall be elected by the Board of Directors and need not be selected from among the members of the Board of Directors, except for the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, each of whom shall be a member of the Board of Directors.  Any two or more offices (including without limitation the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer) may be held by the same person.  All officers shall serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.  The election or appointment of an officer does not itself create contract rights.

Section 3.2.  Removal.  The Board of Directors may remove any officer at any time with or without cause, except that a two-thirds affirmative vote of all other members of said Board shall be required to remove the Chairman of the Board and/or the Chief Executive Officer.  Vacancies in such offices, however occurring, may be filled by the Board of Directors at any meeting of the Board of Directors, except that two-thirds affirmative vote of all remaining members of said Board shall be required to fill any vacancy created by the removal of the Chairman of the Board and/or the Chief Executive Officer.

Section 3.3.  Chairman of the Board.  The Chairman of the Board shall be selected from among the members of the Board of Directors.  The Chairman of the Board shall preside at all meetings of the shareholders and the Board of Directors at which he or she shall be present.   During any period when the Chairman of the Board is not also the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Board shall perform the duties and have the powers of the Chief Executive Officer in his or her absence or in the event of the inability or refusal of the Chief Executive Officer to act.  The Chairman of the Board shall serve the Corporation in such other capacities and perform such other duties as are incident to his or her office or may from time to time be delegated to him or her by the Board of Directors or defined in these Bylaws.  At any time in which neither the Chairman of the Board nor the Chief Executive Officer is able to perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Chairman of the Board, then the Board’s lead director (if one shall have been previously selected for purposes of compliance with stock exchange listing requirements) shall perform such duties and exercise such powers.

 
6

 

Section 3.4.  Chief Executive Officer.  The Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation shall, subject to the control of the Board of Directors, have general supervision over the management and direction of the business of the Corporation.   The Chief Executive Officer shall have and may exercise all of the powers and duties as are incident to his or her office or may from time to time be delegated to him or her by the Board of Directors or defined in these Bylaws.  In the event that no Chairman of the Board is in office, or in the event that a sitting Chairman of the Board is absent or unable or unwilling to act, the Chief Executive Officer shall perform the duties and have the powers of the Chairman of the Board.

Section 3.5.  Presidents and Vice Presidents.  Each President and each Vice President of the Corporation shall have such official titles and such powers as the Board of Directors may, from time to time, designate and authorize.  Each such officer shall perform such duties as the Board of Directors may prescribe or as the Chief Executive Officer may, from time to time, delegate to him or her.

Section 3.6.  Secretary.  The Secretary shall be the custodian of the books, papers and records of the Corporation and of its corporate seal, if any, and shall be responsible for seeing that the Corporation maintains the records required by the Corporation Law (other than accounting records) and that the Corporation files with the Indiana Secretary of State the annual report required by the Corporation Law.  The Secretary shall be responsible for preparing minutes of the meetings of the shareholders and of the Board of Directors and for authenticating records of the Corporation, and he or she shall perform all of the other duties usual in the office of the Secretary of a corporation.

ARTICLE IV

Indemnification of Officers,
Directors and Other Eligible Persons

Section 4.1.  General.  To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, every Eligible Person shall be indemnified by the Corporation against all Liability and reasonable Expense that may be incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any Claim:

(a)           if such Eligible Person is Wholly Successful with respect to the Claim, or

(b)           if not Wholly Successful, then if such Eligible Person is determined, as provided in either Section 4.3(a) or 4.3(b) of this Article IV, to have:

(1)           conducted himself in good faith; and

(2)           reasonably believed:

 
(i)
in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity with the Corporation, that his or her conduct was in its best interest; and

 
7

 

 
(ii)
all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to its best interest; and
(3)           in the case of any criminal proceeding, either.

 
(i)
had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful; or

 
(ii)
had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The termination of any Claim, by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction or upon a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that an Eligible Person did not meet the standards of conduct set forth in clause (b) of this Section 4.1.  The actions of an Eligible Person with respect to an employee benefit plan subject the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 shall be deemed to have been taken in what the Eligible Person reasonably believed to be the best interests of the Corporation or at least not opposed to its best interests if the Eligible Person reasonable believed he or she was acting in conformity with the requirements of such Act or he or she reasonable believed his or her actions to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.

Section 4.2.  Definitions.

(a)           The term "Claim" as used in this Article IV shall include every pending, threatened, or completed claim, action, suit, or proceeding and all appeals thereof (whether brought by or in the right of this Corporation or any other corporation or otherwise), civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, formal or informal, in which an Eligible Person may become involved, as a party or otherwise: (i) by reason of his or her being or having been an Eligible Person, or (ii) by reason of any action taken or not taken by him or her in his or her capacity as an Eligible Person, whether or not he or she continued in such capacity at the time such Liability or Expense shall have been incurred.

(b)           The term "Eligible Person" as used in this Article IV shall mean every person (and the estate, heirs and personal representatives of such person) who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation (or of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) as a director, divisional director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other organization or entity, whether for profit or not (“Other Organizations and Entities”).   Other Organizations and Entities include, but are not limited to, (i) subsidiaries of the Corporation and (ii) organizations or entities, and their affiliates, that are not subsidiaries of the Corporation but as to which the Corporation may from time to time be entitled to representation, participation, attendance or informational rights with respect to their boards of directors or committees or other governance structures or activities, as a result of the making by the Corporation of investments in such other organizations or entities and their affiliates or otherwise.  An Eligible Person shall also be considered to have been serving an employee benefit plan at the request of the Corporation if his or her duties to the Corporation also imposed duties on, or otherwise involved services by, him or her to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.

(c)           The terms "Liability" and "Expense" as used in this Article IV shall include, but shall not be limited to, counsel fees and disbursements and amounts of judgments, fines, or penalties against (including excise taxes assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan), and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of, and Eligible Person.

(d)           The term "Wholly Successful" as used in this Article IV shall mean (i) termination of any Claim against the Eligible Person in question without any finding of liability or guilt against him or her, (ii) approval by a court, with knowledge of the indemnity herein provided, of a settlement of any Claim, or (iii) the expiration of a reasonable period of time after making or threatened making of any Claim without the institution of the same, without any payment or promise made to induce a settlement.

Section 4.3.  Procedure.

(a)            Every Eligible Person claiming indemnification hereunder (other than one who has been Wholly Successful with respect to any Claim) shall be entitled to indemnification (i) if special independent legal counsel, which may be regular counsel of the Corporation or other disinterested person or persons, in either case selected by the Board of Directors, whether or not a disinterested quorum exists (such counsel or person or persons being hereinafter called the "Referee"), shall deliver to the Corporation a written finding that such Eligible Person has met the standards of conduct set forth in clause (b) of Section 4.1, and (ii) if the Board of Directors, acting upon such written finding, so determines.  The Board of Directors shall, if an Eligible Person is found to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the preceding sentence, also determine the reasonableness of the Eligible Person's Expenses.  The Eligible Person claiming indemnification shall, if requested, appear before the Referee, answer questions that the Referee deems relevant, and shall be given ample opportunity to present to the Referee evidence upon which he or she relies for indemnification.  The Corporation shall, at the request of the Referee, make available facts, opinions or other evidence in any way relevant to the Referee's finding that are within the possession or control of the Corporation.

(b)           If an Eligible Person claiming indemnification pursuant to Section 4.3(a) of this Article IV is found not to be entitled thereto, or if the Board of Directors fails to select a Referee under Section 4.3(a) within a reasonable amount of time following a written request of an Eligible Person for the selection of a Referee, or if the Referee or the Board of Directors fails to make a determination under Section 4.3(a) within a reasonable amount of time following the selection of a Referee, the Eligible Person may apply for indemnification with respect to a Claim to a court of competent jurisdiction, including a court in which the Claim is pending against the Eligible Person.  On receipt of an application, the Court, after giving notice to the Corporation and giving the Corporation ample opportunity to present to the court any information or evidence relating to the claim for indemnification that the Corporation deems appropriate, may order indemnification if it determines that the Eligible Person is entitled to indemnification with respect to the Claim because such Eligible Person met the standards of conduct set forth in clause (b) of Section 4.1 of this Article IV.  If the court determines that the Eligible Person is entitled to indemnification, the court shall also determine the reasonableness of the Eligible Person's Expenses.

Section 4.4.  Nonexclusive Rights.  The right of indemnification provided in this Article IV shall be in addition to any rights to which any Eligible Person may otherwise be entitled.  Irrespective of the provisions of this Article IV, the Board of Directors may, at any time and from time to time, (a) approve indemnification of any Eligible Person to the full extent permitted by the provisions of applicable law at the time in effect, whether on account of past or future transactions, and (b) authorize the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Eligible Person against any Liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.

Section 4.5.  Expenses.  Expenses incurred by an Eligible Person with respect to any Claim may be advanced by the Corporation (by action of the Board of Directors, whether or not a disinterested quorum exists) prior to the final disposition thereof upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount unless he or she is determined to be entitled to indemnification.

Section 4.6.  Contract.  The provisions of this Article IV shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Eligible Person, and an Eligible Person's rights hereunder with respect to a Claim shall not be diminished or otherwise adversely affected by any repeal, amendment, or modification of this Article IV that occurs subsequent to the date of any action taken or not taken by reason of which such Eligible Person becomes involved in a Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, whenever the Corporation files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that includes a promise or undertaking that in any way limits or conditions the Corporation's obligations under this Article IV to an Eligible Person with respect to a Claim arising under that registration statement, then such promise or undertaking shall be considered to be applicable law in respect of the Corporation's indemnification obligations hereunder, and  the  Corporation may comply with those limits or conditions to the extent required by its promise or undertaking without thereby being deemed to be in violation of its contract obligations to any Eligible Person  under this Article IV.

Section 4.7.  Effective Date.  The provisions of this Article IV shall be applicable to Claims made or commenced after the adoption hereof, whether arising from acts or omissions to act occurring before or after the adoption hereof.

July 27, 2009
GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC. (GABC) REPORTS STRONG QUARTERLY AND YEAR-TO-DATE EARNINGS

Summary

German American Bancorp, Inc. today reported yet another quarter of strong earnings.  During the 2nd quarter, the Company earned $2,764,000, or $0.25 per share with 2009 year-to-date reported earnings of $5,706,000, or $0.52 per share.  Although 2009 reported earnings were less than the record levels of net income earned in 2008, the earnings difference is directly attributable to an increased level of deposit insurance premiums during 2009.  Exclusive of the additional $860,000 ($519,000 after-tax cost) of deposit insurance premium expense in the 2nd quarter of 2009, and the additional $1,169,000 ($706,000 after-tax cost) of deposit insurance premium expense recorded during the first six months of 2009 (compared to that expensed during the same quarter and year-to-date period of 2008), 2009 2nd quarter non-GAAP earnings would have been $3,283,000, or $0.30 per share, approximately 6% greater than last year’s record 2nd quarter earnings of $3,111,000, or $0.28 per share, and 2009 year-to-date non-GAAP earnings would have been $6,412,000, or $0.58 per share, representing a 5% improvement from the 2008 year-to-date reported earnings of $6,131,000, or $0.55 per share.  For reconciliation of non-GAAP earnings and earnings per share, see “Regulation G Disclosure” below.

Mark A. Schroeder, Chief Executive Officer of German American, commenting on the 2nd quarter and year-to-date results stated, “We continue to be extremely pleased that in the face of continued elevated FDIC insurance premium costs, we were able to post very solid quarterly and year-to-date financial performance.  FDIC’s deposit insurance reserves are funded by industry assessments, meaning that in spite of German American’s strong risk profile, we, like all insured banking organizations, are facing significantly higher deposit premiums as the FDIC deals with the costs of resolving troubled banking institutions throughout the country.  While we anticipate the elevated level of FDIC deposit premium expense will continue in the coming months, our strong performance continues to set us apart within the financial services industry in terms of both earnings and credit quality.”

Schroeder continued, “As compared to both the prior quarter-end and prior year quarter-end data, our Company’s credit quality continues to compare very favorably with other banking organizations both in our state and in the nation.  As of June 30, 2009, our level of both non-performing loans and past-due loans were better than  the already strong levels recorded at March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008.  While many other banking companies are experiencing high and increasing levels of non-performing and past-due loans, German American’s disciplined credit culture continues to deliver solid asset quality numbers.  In the face of an ongoing weakened general economic environment, we are continuing to closely monitor the performance of our loan portfolio, as we are very cognizant that the longer the economy remains in a recession mode, our customers will be increasingly challenged in terms of sustaining their impressive level of compliance relative to their loan commitments.”

German American Bancorp, Inc. is a financial services holding company based in Jasper, Indiana. The Company’s Common Stock is traded on NASDAQ’s Global Select Market System under the symbol GABC.  The principal subsidiary of German American Bancorp, Inc. is its banking subsidiary, German American Bancorp which operates through six community banking affiliates with 28 retail banking offices in the ten contiguous Southern Indiana counties of Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Knox, Lawrence, Martin, Monroe, Perry, Pike, and Spencer.

Balance Sheet Highlights

End-of-period loans outstanding increased by 11% on an annualized basis during the second quarter of 2009.  The increase was driven largely by higher levels of commercial and industrial loans (including both real estate and non-real estate).  A majority of the growth in the commercial loan portfolio was attributable to the purchase of approximately $20 million of loans from another financial institution in an existing market of the Company.  This purchase was completed on June 30, 2009.  Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in the residential loan portfolio as market interest rates continued to trend lower during the second quarter of 2009.  The Company continues to actively originate residential mortgage loans, with the vast majority of production being sold into the secondary market.

Trust and investment product fees decreased 28% during the second quarter of 2009 compared with the same period of 2008.  This decline was primarily attributable to continued volatile economic and market conditions.  Deposit service charges and fees declined by 13% due in large part to less customer utilization of the Company’s overdraft protection program.  Other operating income declined 48% due in large part to write-downs on other real estate owned properties that totaled approximately $228,000 during the second quarter of 2009.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the net gain on sale of residential loans increased 14% over the gain recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2008.  The increase was attributable to higher levels of residential loan sales and a larger pipeline of residential mortgage loans in the second quarter of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, non-interest expense increased approximately 14% compared with the same period of 2008.

Salaries and benefits expense increased approximately 8% during the second quarter of 2009 compared with the second quarter of 2008.  The increase was largely related to an increase in costs associated with the Company’s self-insured health insurance plan.

The Company’s FDIC deposit insurance assessments increased $860,000 during the second quarter of 2009 compared with the second quarter of 2008.  This increase resulted from an industry-wide increase in assessments as the FDIC has begun to recapitalize the deposit insurance fund, in addition to an industry wide special assessment in the second quarter of 2009 of approximately $550,000 which represents 5 basis points of the Company’s subsidiary bank’s total assets less Tier 1 Capital.

Quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to quarter ended March 31, 2009

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 totaled $2,764,000, a decrease of $178,000 or 6% compared to first quarter 2009 net income of $2,942,000.

Trust and investment product fees increased 17% during the second quarter of 2009 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  Insurance revenues declined 13% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared with the first quarter of 2009. The decline was attributable to contingency revenues that were received in the normal course of business during first quarter of the year and the general cyclical nature of the Company’s property and casualty insurance business.

Other operating income declined 27% principally due to write-downs on other real estate owned properties that totaled approximately $228,000 during the second quarter of 2009.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the net gain on sale of residential loans declined 18% compared to the gain recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The decline resulted from a lower pricing margin on the loans originated and sold into the secondary market.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, non-interest expense increased approximately 2% compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

The Company’s FDIC deposit insurance assessments increased $550,000, or 164%, during the second quarter of 2009 compared with the first quarter of 2009.  This increase resulted from an industry wide special assessment in the second quarter of 2009 of approximately $550,000 which represented 5 basis points of the Company’s subsidiary bank’s total assets less Tier 1 Capital.

Professional fees declined 33% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared with the first quarter of 2009.  This decline was primarily attributable to a lower level of legal fees.
 
Regulation G Disclosure
 
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. However, we believe that non-GAAP reporting, giving effect to the adjustments shown in the reconciliations provided below, provides meaningful information and therefore we use it to supplement our GAAP information. We have chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analyses of operating results, to illustrate the results of operations giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations and to provide an additional measure of performance.
 
The Company recorded FDIC deposit insurance premium expenses during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 that substantially exceeded the levels of FDIC deposit insurance premium expense during the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to industry-wide increases assessed by the FDIC to insured banks. While the Company believes that the 2009 levels of FDIC deposit insurance expense incurred by the Company are likely to continue in future periods, the Company believes that excluding the after-tax effects of this increased level of premium expense will provide investors with a basis to compare the Company’s core operating results in 2009 as compared to 2008 without the material distortions caused by this external industry-wide factor.
