Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 28, 2005, the shareholders of Old National Bancorp (the "Company"), at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, voted to approve the Company's Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan effective as of January 1, 2005 (the "Plan").
For 2005, the incentive bonus paid under the Plan is based on the level of achievement of certain performance goals, which have been established by the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The performance criteria for 2005 include the Company's earnings per share, business unit operating income, where applicable, and total risk adjusted revenue.
The incentive bonus paid under the plan to the Company's officers required to report under Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Section 16 Officers") will be modified by up to 25% depending on the Company's performance as compared to its peer group in the following categories: (i) earnings per share growth; (ii) return on average equity; (iii) non-performing loans; (iv) and efficiency ratio.
A description of the Plan is provided in Item 3 of the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2005.
