Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 30, 2016, Old National Bancorp (“ONB”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Prime Risk Partners Inc. (“Prime Risk”), pursuant to which Prime Risk will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of ONB Insurance Group, Inc. (“Insurance Group”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ONB (the “Sale”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Prime Risk will pay ONB $93,000,000 in cash, subject to adjustment for working capital and reduction for pre-closing indebtedness and transaction expenses and change of control payments not paid prior to closing. In addition, certain employees of Insurance Group shall receive a cash award and grant of membership interests in an affiliate of Prime Risk, subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.

Subject to customary closing conditions, the parties anticipate completing the Sale in the second quarter of 2016.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary covenants of each party, including filing notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, arrangements for post-closing employee benefits for employees of Insurance Group, and entering into an employment agreement with the CEO and Chairman of Insurance Group. In addition, ONB covenants that for a period of five years after the effective date of the Sale, it will not engage in the insurance business in the United States.

Under a transition services agreement, ONB will continue to provide Insurance Group with information technology, human resources, and facilities related transition services for a period of up to 180 days, for which ONB will receive payments approximate to its costs associated with providing such services. Further, the parties will also enter into an exclusivity agreement by which Insurance Group will act as ONB’s exclusive broker and procure insurance for ONB’s customers, and a branch referral agreement by which ONB will receive compensation for certain referrals to Insurance Group.

The Purchase Agreement provides certain termination rights for both ONB and Prime Risk. ONB and Prime Risk have agreed to mutual indemnification obligations, including to indemnify each other for breaches of representations and warranties up to an agreed upon cap subject to a deductible for claims which are made within 18 months of the date of the Purchase Agreement, with the exception of breaches of Fundamental Representations (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and certain other representations and warranties, for which each party shall indemnify the other party up to the purchase price.

The Purchase Agreement also contains representations and warranties that the parties have made to each other as of specific dates. Except for its status as a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties with respect to the Sale, the Purchase Agreement is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the parties. The representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the Sale and as of specific dates, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what a shareholder might view as material, may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts, may have been qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the Purchase Agreement that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the Purchase Agreement and generally were solely for the benefit of ONB, Insurance Group, and Prime Risk, as parties thereto. ONB will file the Purchase Agreement as an exhibit to its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2016. Shareholders should read the Purchase Agreement once it has been made available, together with the other information concerning ONB that it publicly files in reports and statements with the SEC.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 1, 2016, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 11, 2016, by and between ONB and Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (“Anchor”), Anchor merged with and into ONB, with ONB as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Immediately following the Merger, effective as of May 1, 2016, AnchorBank, fsb, a federal savings bank and wholly owned subsidiary of Anchor, 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 Anchor, $.01 par value per share (other than (1) shares held as treasury stock of Anchor and (2) shares held directly or indirectly by ONB, except shares held in a fiduciary capacity or in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted, if any), converted into the right to receive (a) $48.50 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) or (b) 3.5505 shares of common stock of ONB (the “Stock Consideration”), no par value per share, subject to proration and certain adjustments described in the Merger Agreement.

At the Effective Time, each award of restricted Anchor common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any such award held by an Anchor executive officer) that was (a) granted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement, became fully vested and was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of the award, the Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration, treating such award in the same manner as all other outstanding shares of Anchor common stock for such purposes, or (b) granted after the date of the Merger Agreement, was converted into the number of shares of restricted ONB common stock equal to the Stock Consideration, subject to the same terms and conditions (including, if applicable, any continuing vesting requirements) of the applicable award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 2.1.

As a result of the Merger, ONB will deliver approximately $186.2 million in cash and 20.6 million shares of ONB common stock to former holders of Anchor common stock.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 2, 2016, ONB issued a press release (“Press Release”) reporting its financial results for the first quarter of 2016. The Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. In connection therewith, a slide presentation outlining first-quarter earnings, recent strategic developments and ONB’s financial outlook will be available on ONB’s website to complement the conference call to be held on May 2, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. CDT and will be accessible at http://www.oldnational.com before the conference call begins.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

ONB also announced in the Press Release that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share. The dividend is payable on June 15, 2016, to shareholders of record on June 1, 2016. For purposes of broker trading, the ex-date of the cash dividend is May 27, 2016.
