the transaction between the Company and MainSource, which are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Words such as „„believes,‟‟
„„anticipates,‟‟ “likely,” “expected,” “estimated,” „„intends‟‟ and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the

operating or financial performance, including revenues, income or loss and earnings or loss per share, (ii) future common stock dividends, (iii) our capital
structure, including future capital levels, (iv) our plans, objectives and strategies, and (v) the assumptions that underlie our forward-looking statements.
As with any forecast or projection, forward-looking statements are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in
circumstances that may cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not
historical facts but instead express only management‟s beliefs regarding future results or events, many of which, by their na ture, are inherently uncertain and
outside of the management‟s control. It is possible that actual results and outcomes may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results or outcomes
indicated in these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements
include the following, without limitation: (i) economic, market, liquidity, credit, interest rate, operational and technological risks associated with the Company‟s
business; (ii) the effect of and changes in policies and laws or regulatory agencies, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
and other legislation and regulation relating to the banking industry; (iii) management‟s ability to effectively execute its business plans; (iv) mergers and
acquisitions, including costs or difficulties related to the integration of acquired companies; (v) the Company‟s ability to comply with the terms of loss sharing
agreements with the FDIC; (vi) the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices; (vii) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving and
changes in unemployment; (viii) changes in customers‟ performance and creditworthiness; and (ix) the costs and effects of litigation and of unexpected or
adverse outcomes in such litigation. Additional factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking
statements can be found in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as its other filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC
website at www.sec.gov.
Statements concerning the potential merger of the Company and MainSource may also be forward-looking statements. Please refer to each of the Company‟s
and MainSource‟s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as well as their other filings with the SEC, for a more detailed discussion
of risks, uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.
In addition to factors previously disclosed in reports filed by the Company and MainSource with the SEC, risks and uncertainties for the Company, MainSource
and the combined company include, but are not limited to: the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed Merger will not be realized or will not
be realized within the expected time period; the risk that integration of MainSource's operations with those of the Company will be materially delayed or will be
more costly or difficult than expected; the inability to close the Merger in a timely manner; diversion of management's attention from ongoing business operations
and opportunities; the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the , including receipt of required regulatory and other approvals; the failure of the
proposed Merger to close for any other reason; the challenges of integrating and retaining key employees; the effect of the announcement of the Merger on the
Company‟s, MainSource‟s or the combined company's respective customer relationships and operating results; the possibility that the Merger may be more
expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; and general competitive, economic, political and market conditions
and fluctuations. All forward-looking statements included in this filing are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available at the time of the
filing. Except as required by law, neither the Company nor MainSource assumes any obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

* Margins are calculated using net interest income annualized divided by average earning assets.
The earnings press release and accompanying presentation include certain non-GAAP ratios, such as net interest income-tax equivalent. The tax
equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a
35% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on
a fully tax equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer
comparisons. Management also uses these measures to make peer comparisons.
