Old National currently has 183 locations across Indiana, Western Kentucky, and Southern Illinois. As part of an ongoing efficiency initiative, Old National took a close look at its locations, examining such items as market dynamics, deposits per branch, proximity to other offices and client traffic. Half of the consolidations are Indianapolis in-store branches with an approaching expiring lease. These locations will be consolidated into a nearby Old National, many of which are within a one -- two mile radius.

Old National does not anticipate job eliminations as a result of these activities. Associates at consolidated locations will be offered comparable positions at nearby branches.

Clients of the sold or consolidated branches will be notified through the mail, online and through branch postings. The closures and conversions are anticipated to take place late fourth quarter of 2012 or early first quarter of 2013.
