SEC Declares S-4 Registration Statement Effective in Connection With Old National Bancorp -- Indiana Community Bancorp Merger...
June 20 2012 - 11:26AM
Indiana Community Bancorp (Nasdaq:INCB) (the "Company"), the
Columbus-based holding company for Indiana Bank and Trust Company,
announced today that the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")
has declared effective the Form S-4 registration statement relating
to the Company's pending merger with Old National Bancorp (the
"Merger"). The registration statement contains the definitive Proxy
Statement of the Company and the Prospectus of Old National
Bancorp, which will be mailed to the Company's shareholders on or
about June 22, 2012. The Company has announced that its Annual
Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") will be held on July
24, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express in Edinburgh,
Indiana, at which, among other voting items, the Company's
shareholders will consider and vote upon the Merger. The
Company's shareholders of record as of the close of business on
June 15, 2012 will be permitted to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Today the Company also announced an update to the exchange ratio
calculation relating to the consideration to be paid by Old
National Bancorp in the Merger. As previously announced, under
the terms of the merger agreement with Old National Bancorp, the
Company's shareholders will receive 1.90 shares of Old National
Bancorp common stock for each share of Company common stock held by
them. As provided in the merger agreement, the exchange
ratio is subject to certain adjustments (calculated prior to
closing) under circumstances where the consolidated shareholders'
equity of the Company is below a specified amount, the loan
delinquencies of the Company exceed a specified amount, or the
credit mark for certain "Special Loans" of the Company (as defined
in the merger agreement) falls outside a specified range. The
Company had previously announced that if the exchange ratio
adjustments had been measured as of March 31, 2012, the exchange
ratio would have been 1.8241 shares of Old National common stock
for each share of Company common stock. If the exchange ratio
were measured as of May 31, 2012, including additional changes to
the credit mark for Special Loans (as defined in the merger
agreement) for information (such as appraisals, loan sales and
refinancings) through June 18, 2012, no adjustments to the 1.90
exchange ratio would be required as a result of the shareholders'
equity, delinquent loan, or credit mark levels and the exchange
ratio would be 1.9 shares of Old National Bancorp common stock for
each share of Indiana Community Bancorp common stock. It is
important to note, however, that the exchange ratio may be adjusted
based on changes in the Company's shareholders' equity, delinquent
loan, or credit mark levels prior to the closing of the Merger.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of
2012, subject to approval by federal and state regulatory
authorities and the Company's shareholders and the satisfaction of
the closing conditions provided in the merger agreement.
