Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 1, 2015, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 25, 2014 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and between Old National Bancorp ("ONB") and Founders Financial Corporation ("Founders"), Founders merged with and into ONB, with ONB as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). Immediately following the Merger, effective as of January 1, 2015, Founders Bank & Trust, a Michigan chartered commercial bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Founders, merged with and into Old National Bank, a national banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of ONB, with Old National Bank as the surviving bank.

At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Founders (other than shares owned by Founders, ONB and their respective subsidiaries, which shares were canceled, except shares held directly or indirectly in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of third parties or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, if any), converted into the right to receive (i) $38.00 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") and (ii) 3.25 (the "Exchange Ratio") fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of ONB, no par value per share. At the Effective Time, pursuant to elections made by each option holder as provided under the Merger Agreement, all outstanding Founders stock options converted into the right to receive an amount of cash for each share of Founders common stock subject to such stock options equal to (i) the sum of (a) the Exchange Ratio multiplied by $14.44 (which amount represents the average per share closing price of ONB common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Global Select Market for the 10 trading days ending on December 23, 2014) and (b) the Cash Consideration minus (ii) the amount of the exercise price per share of such stock options.

As a result of the Merger, ONB will deliver approximately $41 million in cash (including cash payable to Founders stock option holders in connection with the conversion of Founders stock options into a right to receive cash as described above) and 3,402,275 shares of ONB common stock to former holders of Founders common stock.
