Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 4, 2009, Old National Bancorp (the "Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K ("Form 8-K") with respect to incentive compensation for the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers named in the compensation discussion and analysis included in the Company's proxy statement for its annual meeting held in 2008 (collectively, the "Named Executive Officers") and other executive officers. At that time, the forms of agreements for the performance shares, service-based restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers had not been finalized. In addition, the values of the performance shares granted to each of the Named Executive Officers, with the exception of the value of performance shares granted to the Chief Executive Officer, contained typographical errors. This Amendment to the Form 8-K is being filed to include the forms of agreements, to correct the values of the performance shares and to clarify the definition of one performance factor with respect to one of the categories of performance shares awarded. No other change in the Form 8-K is being effected hereby.
There were two categories of performance shares granted to the Named Executive Officers based on different performance measures, internal performance measures and relative performance measures. As noted in the Form 8-K, one category of performance measures, the internal performance measures, are Earnings Per Share Growth, Total Revenue Growth and Net Charge Off Ratio. For the performance shares that are based on internal performance measures, Total Revenue Growth is defined as the sum of fully taxable-equivalent net interest income and total non-interest income recognized in a period after the quarter ending December 31, 2008. For the performance shares that are based on relative performance measures, Total Revenue Growth is defined as the compound annual growth rate of increase of the sum of net interest income and non-interest income (as reflected in year-end financial statements), disregarding, however, extraordinary items, as determined by GAAP, from December 31, 2008, through December 31, 2011. Information with respect to each performance measure is included in Appendix A to the Form of 2009 Performance Share Award Agreement - Internal Performance Measures and the Form of 2009 Performance Share Award Agreement - Relative Performance Measures, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
The following table sets forth the correct value of performance shares granted to each of the Named Executive Officers:
Named Executive Officer |
Value of Performance-Shares(1)(2) |
Robert G. Jones |
$409,948 |
Barbara A. Murphy |
$62,557 |
Christopher A. Wolking |
$62,557 |
Annette W. Hudgions |
$29,282 |
Daryl D. Moore |
$38,599 |
(1) Based on the closing market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant $13.31.
(2) As discussed in the Form 8-K, the values of performance shares are presented assuming the Company achieves targeted levels of financial performance established by the awards; if the Company performs better than established by the targeted measures, then additional shares could be issued under such awards, but not more than 200% of the values set forth above.

APPENDIX A TO 2009 PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT
(Internal Performance Factors)
Grant Date: January 29, 2009
Performance Shares Awarded: See Section 3 of the Agreement
Performance Period: January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2011
Internal Factors for Determining Amount Payable Pursuant to Performance Award
The number of Shares payable on account of a Performance Share (before any Dividend Adjustment or tax withholding) will be based on the collective results of the following three performance factors ("Performance Factors") during the Performance Period:
Definitions Related to Internal Performance Factors
Earnings Per Share (EPS) . Earnings Per Share is defined as GAAP EPS, disregarding, however, extraordinary items and non-recurring charges, both as determined under GAAP, recognized in a period after the quarter ending December 31, 2008.
Total Revenue . The sum of fully tax-equivalent net interest income and total non-interest income, as reported in the Company's Form 10-K, recognized in a period after the quarter ending December 31, 2008.
Net Charge Off Ratio . Net Charge Off Ratio is defined as the three year average ratio of Net Charge Offs to Average Loans, as reported in the Company's Form 10-K, for the periods ending 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Performance Weighting Fraction
"Performance Weighting Fraction" means the relative importance of each performance measure in evaluating performance and determining the number of Shares to be distributed (before any Dividend Adjustment or tax withholding) with respect to each Performance Share. The following weight has been assigned to each performance factor:
EPS Growth |
Revenue Growth |
Net Charge Off Ratio |
50% |
25% |
25% |
Calculation of Performance
For each Performance Factor, the performance level will be determined at the end of the Performance Period. The performance level will then be multiplied by the Performance Weighting Fraction for each Performance Factor, resulting in the Company's Weighted Average Performance Level. The table below shows the percentage of Shares to be issued with respect to each Performance Share (before any Dividend Adjustment or tax withholding) at various performance levels:

APPENDIX A TO 2009 PERFORMANCE AWARD AGREEMENT
(Relative Performance Measures)
Grant Date: January 29, 2009
Performance Shares Awarded: See Section 3 of the Agreement
Performance Period: January 1, 2009, through December 31, 2011
Relative Factors for Determining Amount Payable Pursuant to Performance Award
The number of Shares payable on account of a Performance Share (before any Dividend Adjustment or tax withholding) will be based on the collective results of the following four relative performance factors ("Performance Factors") during the Performance Period, as measured against the comparator "Peer" group:
Definitions Related to Relative Performance Factors
Earnings Per Share . EPS Growth means rate of change in EPS Diluted - Excluding Extraordinary Items from December 31, 2008, through December 31, 2011, for the Peer Group compared to the change in the Company's EPS Diluted - Excluding Extraordinary Items from $0.95 EPS through December 31, 2011. "EPS Diluted - Excluding Extraordinary Items" means earnings per share after allowing for the conversion of convertible senior stock and debt and the exercise of warrants, options outstanding, and agreements for issuance of common shares upon satisfaction of certain conditions. It is calculated in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15 and excludes extraordinary items and discontinued operations.
Total Revenue Growth . Total Revenue Growth means the compound annual growth rate of increase of the sum of net interest income and non-interest income (as reflected in year-end financial statements), disregarding, however, extraordinary items, as determined by GAAP, after December 31, 2008, through December 31, 2011.
Net Charge Off Ratio . Net Charge Off Ratio means the three year average ratio of Net Charge Offs to Average Loans, as reported in the Company's Form 10-K, for the periods ending 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Total Shareholder Return (TSR) . Total Shareholder Return means the three-month average stock price for the period ending December 31, 2008 ("Calculation Period") compared to the three-month average stock price for the period ending December 31, 2011 ("Calculation Period") for the Company and the Peer Group. The three-month average stock price will be determined by averaging the closing stock price of each day during the three months ending on the applicable December 31, including adjustments for cash and stock dividends.

A Peer Group member shall be removed if it is acquired during the Performance Period.
Calculation of Performance
For each relative Performance Factor, the performance for the Company and the Peer Group members will be determined and then the percentile raking of the Company shall be determined as compared to the Peer Group. The Company's Average Percentile Rank will be the average of the Company's percentile rankings for each of the Performance Factors. The Company's Average Percentile Rank will be used to determine the percentage, if any, of the Shares earned under the Performance Share award.
The table below shows the percentage of Shares to be issued with respect to each Performance Share (before any Dividend Adjustment or tax withholding) at various performance levels:

The average percentile rank will be reduced to the next lowest level if the final average percentile rank does not equal one of the levels listed in the above schedule. For example, if the Company's Average Percentile Rank is 48%,.75% of one Shares will be issued with respect to each Performance Share.
Timing of Award Determination and Distribution
Once performance results for the Company are known and approved by the auditors, the Compensation Committee will review and approve the final performance results for the each Performance Factor. Except as provided in Section 5 of the Agreement, distribution of Shares with respect to the Performance Shares will be made after the final determination and on or before March 31, 2012.

The Company has no obligation to obtain the fulfillment of the conditions specified in the preceding sentence. As a further condition to the issuance of certificates for the Shares, the Company may require the making of any representation or warranty which the Company deems necessary or advisable under any applicable law or regulation. Under no circumstances shall the Company delay the issuance of shares pursuant to this Section to a date that is later than 2-1/2 months after the end of the calendar year in which the Period of Restriction lapses, unless issuance of the shares would violate federal securities law or other applicable law, in which case the Company shall issue such shares as soon as administratively feasible (and not more than 30 days) after such issuance would no longer violate such laws.
11. Mitigation of Excise Tax
Except to the extent otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Company and the Participant, the Restricted Stock issued hereunder is subject to reduction by the Committee for the reasons specified in Section 13.01 of the Plan.

14. Indemnity
The Participant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates (and their respective directors, officers and employees), and the Committee, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses based upon or arising out of the incorrectness or alleged incorrectness of any representation made by Participant to the Company or any failure on the part of the Participant to perform any agreements contained herein. The Participant hereby further agrees to release and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates (and their respective directors, officers and employees) from and against any tax liability, including without limitation, interest and penalties, incurred by the Participant in connection with his or her participation in the Plan.
15. Financial Information
The Company hereby undertakes to deliver to the Participant, at such time as they become available and so long as the Period of Restriction has not lapsed and the Restricted Stock has not been forfeited, a balance sheet and income statement of the Company with respect to any fiscal year of the Company ending on or after the date of this Agreement.
16. Changes in Shares
In the event of any change in the Shares, as described in Section 4.04 of the Plan, the Committee will make appropriate adjustment or substitution in the Shares of Restricted Stock, all as provided in the Plan. The Committee's determination in this respect will be final and binding upon all parties.

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Old National Bancorp 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), to further the growth and financial success of the Company and its Affiliates by aligning the interests of Participants, through the ownership of Shares, with the interests of the Company's shareholders; to provide Participants with an incentive for excellence in individual performance; and to promote teamwork among Participants; and
WHEREAS, it is the view of the Company that this goal may be achieved by granting stock options to eligible officers and other key employees; and
WHEREAS, the Participant has been designated by the Committee as an individual to whom stock options should be granted under the Plan as determined from the duties performed, the initiative and industry of the Participant, the extraordinary nature of his/her service, and his/her potential contribution to the future development, growth and prosperity of the Company;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the Company and the Participant agree as follows:
1. Grant of Option .

(b) Issuance of Certificates . Certificates evidencing the Shares purchased under the Option will not be delivered to the Participant until full payment has been made for them and the Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares until those Shares are recorded on the Company's official shareholder records (or the records of its transfer agents or registrars) as having been issued and transferred to the Participant. The Company will not be required to issue or deliver any certificates for Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option prior to (i) completing any registration or other qualification of the Shares, which the Company deems necessary or advisable under any federal or state law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body; and (ii) obtaining any approval or other clearance from any federal or state governmental agency or body, which the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company has no obligation to obtain the fulfillment of the conditions specified in the preceding sentence.
3. Income and Employment Tax Withholding .
(a) Participant's Sole Responsibility . The Participant will be solely responsible for paying to the Company all required federal, state, city and local taxes applicable to his/her (i) exercise of an NSO, and (ii) disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO is a disqualifying disposition as described in Section 422(a)(1) of the Code. The Participant agrees to notify the Company within ten (10) days of making such a disqualifying disposition.
(b) Payment by Withholding Shares . Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), with respect to Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an NSO, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to elect to satisfy, in whole or in part, any withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the exercise of the NSO by having the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares or accept delivery from the Participant of Shares then owned by the Participant which have a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of the delivery of such Shares, equal to the amount of the minimum withholding tax to be satisfied by that retention or delivery.
4. Nontransferability . The Option cannot be assigned or transferred by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Option cannot be pledged or hypothecated in any way, nor can it be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the Option in violation of this provision or the levy of execution, attachment or similar process upon the Option will be null and void and without effect and will cause the Option to be terminated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and as more fully outlined in the Plan, the Participant may transfer NSO's to: (a) the Participant's spouse, any children or lineal descendants of the Participant or the Participant's spouse, or the spouse(s) of any such children or lineal descendants ("Immediate Family Members"); (b) a trust or trusts for the exclusive benefit of Immediate Family Members; or (c) a partnership or limited liability company in which the Participant and/or Immediate Family Members are the only equity owners (collectively, "Eligible Transferees").
5. Exercise of Option .
(a) Maximum Term and Vesting . The Option may not be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of this agreement, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Plan or this agreement.

(b) Limitations on Exercise . Except as otherwise provided in Section 4, the Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or his/her guardian or attorney-in-fact in the event the Participant incurs a Disability. In the case of the Participant's death, the Option may be exercised by the Participant's personal representative.
(c) Legal Requirements . Notwithstanding any other provision of this agreement, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part if the issuance of the Shares would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities law or other applicable laws, rules or regulations. As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company may require the person exercising the Option to make any representation or warranty to the Company as may be required by any applicable law or regulation.
6. Method of Exercise of Options .
