Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 30, 2015, Old National Bancorp's wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Old National Bank ("ONB"), announced plans to sell, close or consolidate thirty-six (36) banking centers as part of its ongoing efficiency improvements. In connection with the efficiency improvements, ONB entered into branch purchase and assumption agreements with the following banks: (i) MainSource Bank to purchase the deposits and banking center facilities at five (5) banking centers in Batesville, Brownstown, Portland and Richmond, Indiana, and Union City, Ohio; and (ii) First Mid-Illinois Bank & Trust to purchase the deposits and banking center facilities at twelve (12) banking centers in Carmi, Mt. Carmel, Carbondale, Carterville, Desoto, Harrisburg, Lawrenceville, Murphysboro, Mt. Vernon and Marion, Illinois. The branch sales are subject to regulatory approval and other terms and conditions, and combined, include approximately $620 million in deposits and approximately $200 million in loans. ONB expects the transactions to close in the third quarter of 2015. Old National expects to offset the costs associated with the closed and consolidated branches with the gain realized on the sale of the Southern Illinois and Eastern Indiana branches.

Fishers Starbucks - Fishers, IN
Jasper Manor - Jasper, IN
Vincennes Plaza - Vincennes, IN
Washington Main - Washington, IN

Greenville Airport - Greenville, KY
