Integra Bank Corporation Reports Charge-Off And Increase in Non-Performing Loans; Actions Will Not Affect 2006 Earnings Guidance

EVANSVILLE, INDIANA — January 9, 2007 — Integra Bank Corporation (Nasdaq Global Market: IBNK) reported today that it had taken several actions with respect to a commercial loan relationship.

The relationship consists of four loans aggregating an approximate outstanding principal balance of $18.0 million to a charter airline business and its majority owner. The borrowers failed to meet the repayment terms of their loans. Integra instituted actions to collect the loans on December 29, 2006. Integra management believes the loans are adequately secured; however, there can be no assurance of the likelihood or amounts of collectibility.

Integra will increase its net charge-offs and loan provision for the fourth quarter of 2006. Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter will be approximately $1.5 million, including the charge-offs related to this relationship. The total provision for the quarter will also be approximately $1.5 million. Integra management indicated that, not including this relationship, the remainder of the loan portfolio continues to perform in line with expectations.

Approximately $490,000 in interest on these loans for the fourth quarter 2006 will be reversed. The impact on earnings is not expected to affect the previous earnings guidance of $1.68 to $1.72 per diluted share for 2006. Net charge-offs for 2006 are expected to be 37 basis points and approximately three basis points above the previous guidance for the fourth quarter. The allowance to total loans as estimated in October 2006 will not be affected.

Management stated that during the fourth quarter, Integra continued to see improvements in its asset mix with growth in commercial loans and reductions in the residential mortgage and investment securities portfolios combined with good expense management. Integra expects to release its fourth quarter results after the close of business on January 22, 2007, and will host a conference call to review the financial results on Tuesday, January 23, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. (Central Standard Time).
