Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Old National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old National Bancorp, entered into purchase agreements to acquire three bank properties that it currently leases for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $98.4 million. The purchase agreements are described below. Old National Bank entered into these agreements to purchase the subject bank properties in order to (i) provide greater control of these properties through ownership, (ii) report these properties as assets on its balance sheet which may be required under proposed GAAP changes, and (iii) further its initiative of becoming a more efficient bank. Old National Bancorp expects that these acquisitions will close in the third quarter of 2016.

On August 8, 2016, Old National Bank entered into a contract for the purchase and sale of real property with ONB One Main Landlord, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Old National Bank agreed to purchase its corporate office building which it had been leasing from ONB One Main Landlord, LLC. The purchase price for the property is $90.5 million and shall be paid at Closing (as defined in the agreement). The agreement is also subject to certain contingencies to Closing and as a condition to Closing, the parties have agreed to enter into a lease termination agreement, at Closing, to terminate the existing Lease Agreement dated December 20, 2006 between ONB One Main Landlord, LLC, as landlord, and Old National Bank, as tenant.

Also on August 8, 2016, Old National Bank entered into a contract for the purchase and sale of real property with Henderson Sid LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Old National Bank agreed to buy one bank property which it had been leasing from Henderson Sid LLC. The purchase price for the property is $4.6 million and shall be paid at Closing (as defined in the agreement). The agreement is also subject to certain contingencies to Closing and as a condition to Closing, the parties have agreed to enter into a lease termination agreement, at Closing, to terminate the existing Master Lease Agreement dated October 19, 2007, between Henderson Sid LLC, as landlord, and Old National Bank, as tenant.

Also on August 8, 2016, Old National Bank entered into a contract for the purchase and sale of real property with Boonville Sid LLC, a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Old National Bank agreed to buy one bank property which it had been leasing from Boonville Sid LLC. The purchase price for the property is $3.3 million and shall be paid at Closing (as defined in the agreement). The agreement is also subject to certain contingencies to Closing and as a condition to Closing, the parties have agreed to enter into a lease termination agreement, at Closing, to terminate the existing Master Lease Agreement dated December 27, 2007, between Boonville Sid LLC, as landlord, and Old National Bank, as tenant.

The foregoing description of the purchase agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase agreements, which are attached as exhibits hereto, and are incorporated into this report on Form 8-K by reference.
