Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 1, 2011, Old National Bancorp ("Old National" or the "Company") acquired 100% of Monroe Bancorp ("Monroe") in an all stock transaction. As previously disclosed, the acquired assets and liabilities of Monroe will be marked to fair value. Upon receipt of final valuation reports and appraisals, it appears that the fair value marks on the loan portfolio and other real estate owned ("OREO") are larger than originally anticipated, contributing to greater goodwill associated with the transaction than originally expected. The reason for the larger fair value marks on the loan portfolio and OREO is due to larger impairment on non-performing loans and OREO than the Company estimated when its management team discussed the acquisition with investors on October 6, 2010 during its public conference call relating to the announcement of the Monroe transaction.

In the October 6, 2010 presentation to investors, the estimate of the loan fair value mark was $46.6 million and the OREO fair value mark was estimated at $1.1 million. Old National now expects a fair value mark on the loan portfolio acquired through the Monroe acquisition to be approximately $64.4 million and a fair value mark of approximately $8.1 million related to OREO. The impairment of the non-performing loans acquired was higher than that originally modeled primarily as a result of lower collateral liquidation values and a change in our disposition strategy impacting the underlying cash flow assumptions. We believe our valuation approach is conservative and appropriate. Strengthening of the real estate market or improvement in the economy in general might result in revised cash flow expectations. The financial impact of improved cash flow expectations would result in a higher yield recognized prospectively. Should our cash flow expectations deteriorate, the financial impact is recorded as provision expense in the current period. OREO values were lower due to continued weakening of the underlying cash flows of the properties and continued weakness in the underlying property values.

The Company anticipates recording goodwill associated with the Monroe transaction of approximately $68.4 million as a result of the fair value mark on all of the acquired assets and liabilities. In addition, the Company acquired core deposit intangibles and trust customer relationship intangibles of $8.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, which will be amortized on an accelerated method over 10 to 12 years.

Acquisition and integration costs are expected to be approximately $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2011 and we currently anticipate an additional $4 to $5 million in the second quarter of the year.





Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 11, 2011, Old National Bancorp’s wholly owned trust subsidiary, American National Trust and Investment Management Company d/b/a Old National Trust Company ("ONTC"), announced that it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with Integra Bank, National Association ("Integra") pursuant to which ONTC will acquire the trust business of Integra, which currently has approximately $386.8 million assets under management.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Integra will form an interim national bank subsidiary ("Integra Interim Subsidiary") that will become a party to the Agreement. Immediately prior to the closing, Integra shall cause its trust business to be transferred to the Integra Interim Subsidiary, free and clear of all liabilities. At closing, ONTC and Integra shall cause the Integra Interim Subsidiary to be merged into ONTC (the "Transaction"), with ONTC to be the surviving entity.

In consideration for all of the shares of the Integra Interim Subsidiary, ONTC will pay Integra $1.25 million in the all cash transaction. Old National anticipates one time charges from the Transaction to be approximately $450,000 to $550,000 and that the Transaction will be accretive by less than $0.01 per share, excluding one-time charges. Subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of closing conditions, the parties anticipate the Transaction to be complete by the end of the second quarter.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 is a press release issued by Old National announcing the planned purchase of Integra’s trust business, which is incorporated herein by reference pursuant to General Instruction F to Form 8-K.
