Item 8.01 Other Events.

On August 7, 2017, Old National Bancorp ("ONB") and Anchor Bancorp, Inc. ("Anchor") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Anchor will merge with and into ONB whereupon the separate corporate existence of Anchor will cease and ONB will survive (the "Merger"). In connection with the Merger, Anchor Bank, National Association, a wholly owned subsidiary of Anchor, will be 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 (the "Bank Merger"). The Merger Agreement is described in more detail in ONB’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2017.

As of October 13, 2017, ONB has received regulatory approval for the Bank Merger from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and a waiver for the regulatory approval of the Merger by the Federal Reserve. The Merger is expected to be effective November 1, 2017, subject to Anchor shareholder approval and customary closing conditions.

ONB incurred $0.4 million in merger and integration charges in the 3rd quarter of 2017. It expects to incur merger and integration charges of approximately $16 million in the 4th quarter of 2017 and $9 million in 2018. ONB expects to complete the systems conversion in the 2nd quarter of 2018.
