Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated January 7, 2014, by and between United Bancorp, Inc. ("United") and Old National Bancorp ("ONB"), on July 31, 2014, United merged with and into ONB (the "Merger"), with ONB surviving the Merger. Immediately following the consummation of the Merger, effective as of July 31, 2014, United's subsidiary, United Bank & Trust, consolidated with and into ONB's subsidiary, Old National Bank, with Old National Bank surviving the consolidation.

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each issued and outstanding share of United common stock (other than shares owned by United, ONB and their respective subsidiaries, which shares were canceled) converted into the right to receive (i) $2.66 in cash and (ii) 0.7 (the "Exchange Ratio") fully paid and nonassessable shares of ONB common stock, no par value. At the Effective Time, each outstanding award (each, an "Award") under United's 1999 Stock Option Plan, 2005 Stock Option Plan and Stock Incentive Plan of 2010, respectively (collectively, the "United Stock Plans"), became fully vested (if unvested) and converted into an award (as converted, a "Converted Stock-Based Award") with respect to a number of shares of ONB common stock equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of United common stock subject to such Award, multiplied by (ii) 0.89 (the "Converted Stock-Based Award Ratio"), which is the sum of (y) the Exchange Ratio and (z) $2.66 divided by $13.90 (the average per share closing price of ONB common stock as quoted on The NASDAQ Global Select Market during the 10 trading days ending on July 25, 2014). All Converted Stock-Based Awards otherwise continue to have, and are subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable United Stock Plan (or other agreement to which such Converted Stock-Based Award was subject immediately prior to the Effective Time). The exercise or strike price (if any) per share of ONB common stock applicable to any Converted Stock-Based Award shall be equal to (i) the per share exercise price of such Award immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Converted Stock-Based Award Ratio. At the Effective Time, United's Amended and Restated Director Retainer Stock Plan and Senior Management Bonus Deferral Stock Plan, respectively, terminated and each phantom share credited to a participant's account under each of these plans converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Old National common stock equal to the Converted Stock-Based Award Ratio. Accrued benefits under such plans will be distributed following the Effective Time.
