Forward-Looking Statements
 This presentation may contain forward-looking statements regarding the financial
 performance, business, and future operations of Horizon Bancorp and its affiliates
 (collectively, “Horizon”). For these statements, Horizon claims the protection of the safe
 harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation
 Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or
 forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future results or performance. As a
 result, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements, which
 speak only as of the date hereof.
 We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as
 “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar
 expressions, and although management believes that the expectations reflected in such
 forward-looking statements are accurate and reasonable, actual results may differ
 materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks and uncertainties
 that could cause our actual results to differ materially include those set forth in “Item 1A
 Risk Factors” of Part I of Horizon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
 ended December 31, 2011. Statements in this presentation should be considered in
 conjunction with such risk factors and the other information publicly available about
 Horizon, including the information in the filings we make with the Securities and
 Exchange Commission.
 Horizon does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release
 any updates to any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances
 occurring or arising after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made, or to
 reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.
