OLD NATIONAL BANCORP

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Old National Bancorp and its wholly-owned affiliates (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Old National”) and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Such principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all the normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of Old National as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Interim results do not necessarily represent annual results. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Old National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on prior period net income or shareholders’ equity and were insignificant amounts.

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2021

FASB ASC 715 – In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update became effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

FASB ASC 740 – In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in GAAP. It eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation; (2) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and (3) exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. The ASU also improves financial statement preparers’ application of income tax-related guidance and simplifies GAAP for: (1) franchise taxes that are partially based on income; (2) transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill; (3) separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax; and (4) enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. The amendments in this update became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years and did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

FASB ASC 321, 323, and 815 – In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments – Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) – Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a Consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU clarifies the interaction between ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and the ASU on equity method investments. ASU 2016-01 provides companies with an alternative to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, minus impairment, if any, unless an observable transaction for an identical or similar security occurs. ASU 2020-01 clarifies that for purposes of applying the Topic 321 measurement alternative, an entity should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting under Topic 323, immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. In addition, the new ASU provides direction that a company should not consider whether the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or the fair value option when it is determining the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options, upon either settlement or exercise. The amendments in this update became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments are to be applied prospectively and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses and Related Pro Forma Information – In May 2020, the SEC issued a final rule that revises the circumstances that require financial statements and related pro forma information for acquisitions and dispositions of businesses. The intent of the rule is to allow for more meaningful conclusions on when an acquired or disposed business is significant as well as to improve the related disclosure requirements. The changes are intended to improve the financial information about acquired or disposed businesses, facilitate more timely access to capital, and reduce the complexity and costs to prepare the disclosure. The final rule was effective January 1, 2021.

FASB ASC 310 – In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-08, Codification Improvements to Subtopic 310-20, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs, to clarify that an entity should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of ASC paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. The ASU was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

FASB ASC 470 – In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-09, Debt (Topic 470) Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-10762, which amends and supersedes various SEC paragraphs to reflect SEC Release No. 33-10762. That release amends the financial disclosure requirements applicable to registered debt offerings that include credit enhancements, such as subsidiary guarantees. These changes are intended to both improve the quality of disclosure and increase the likelihood that issuers will conduct debt offerings on a registered basis. The final rules were effective on January 4, 2021. The amendments did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Codification Improvements – In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-10, Codification Improvements. The amendments improve codification by having all disclosure-related guidance available in the disclosure sections of the codification. Prior to this ASU, various disclosure requirements or options to present information on the face of the financial statements or as a note to the financial statements were not included in the appropriate disclosure sections of the codification. The codification improvements also contain various other minor amendments to codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice. The amendments became effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020.

FASB ASC 848 – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, the transition away from the LIBOR or other interbank offered rate on financial reporting. To help with the transition to new reference rates, the ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to affected contract modifications and hedge accounting relationships. The main provisions include:

•A change in a contract’s reference interest rate would be accounted for as a continuation of that contract rather than as the creation of a new one for contracts, including loans, debt, leases, and other arrangements, that meet specific criteria.

•When updating its hedging strategies in response to reference rate reform, an entity would be allowed to preserve its hedge accounting.

The guidance is applicable only to contracts or hedge accounting relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. Because the guidance is meant to help entities through the transition period, it will be in effect for a limited time and will not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, for which an entity has elected certain optional expedients that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments in this ASU are effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.

ASU 2020-04 permits relief solely for reference rate reform actions and permits different elections over the effective date for legacy and new activity. Accordingly, Old National is evaluating and reassessing the elections on a quarterly basis. For current elections in effect regarding the assertion of the probability of forecasted transactions, Old National elects the expedient to assert the probability of the hedged interest payments and receipts regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform.

In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which addresses questions about whether Topic 848 can be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference a rate that is expected to be discontinued but that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is expected to be modified as a result of reference rate reform, commonly referred to as the “discounting transition.”

The amendments clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 do apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 are effective immediately.

Old National believes the adoption of this guidance on activities subsequent to June 30, 2021 through December 31, 2022 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Guidance on Non-TDR Loan Modifications due to COVID-19 – The CAA, which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, extends certain provisions of the CARES Act. Section 4013 of the CARES Act provided temporary relief from TDR accounting and is amended by Division N, Section 540 of the CAA, by extending the end date from December 31, 2020, to the earlier of January 1, 2022, or 60 days after the date on which the COVID-19 national emergency terminates. In response, the OCC updated its two-page reference guide, “TDR Designation and COVID-19 Loan Modifications,” to conform to the extended TDR provisions. In accordance with such guidance, we are offering short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who are current and otherwise not past due. These include short-term (180 days or less) modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. See Note 6 for further information on non-TDR loan modifications.

Accounting Guidance Pending Adoption

FASB ASC 470 and 815 – In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to clarify the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The amendments in this update reduce the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the cash conversion model and the beneficial conversion feature model. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in-capital. In addition, this ASU improves disclosure requirements for convertible instruments and earnings-per-share guidance. The ASU also revises the derivative scope exception guidance to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions driven by remote contingent events. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be permitted, but no earlier than for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Old National is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

Pending Acquisition

First Midwest Bancorp, Inc.

On May 30, 2021, Old National entered into a definitive merger agreement with First Midwest to combine in an all-stock merger of equals transaction. Under the terms of the merger agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, First Midwest stockholders will receive 1.1336 shares of Old National common stock for each share of First Midwest common stock they own. Holders of First Midwest Common Stock will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. Each share of 7.000% fixed-rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series A, no par value, and each share of 7.000% fixed-rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series C, no par value, of First Midwest will be converted into the right to receive one share of a newly created series of preferred stock of Old National having terms that are not materially less favorable than the First Midwest preferred stock. Following completion of the transaction, former First Midwest stockholders are expected to collectively represent approximately 44% of the combined company. The new organization will operate under the Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank names, with headquarters and the main office located in Evansville, Indiana and commercial and consumer banking operations headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Based on Old National’s June 30, 2021 closing price of $17.61 per share, this represents a total transaction value of approximately $2.307 billion. The transaction value is likely to change until closing due to fluctuations in the price of Old National common stock and is also subject to adjustment under certain circumstances as provided in the merger agreement. The transaction is expected to close in late 2021 or early 2022 subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approvals.

Transaction costs totaling $6.5 million associated with the merger have been expensed through June 30, 2021 and additional transaction and integration costs will be expensed in future periods as incurred.

NOTE 4 – NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net income per share are calculated using the two-class method. Net income is divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Adjustments to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding are made only when such adjustments will dilute net income per common share. Net income is then divided by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents during the period.

The following table reconciles basic and diluted net income per share:

Available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated for impairment related to credit losses at least quarterly. For available-for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for sale debt securities that do not meet the criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security and the issuer, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, we compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. No allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities

was needed at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and totaled $33.9 million at June 30, 2021 and $27.0 million at December 31, 2020.

The U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies and mortgage-backed securities – agency are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. Therefore, for those securities, we do not record expected credit losses.

At June 30, 2021, Old National’s securities portfolio consisted of 1,891 securities, 213 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The unrealized losses attributable to our U.S. Treasury, U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, agency mortgage-backed securities, states and political subdivisions, and other securities are the result of fluctuations in interest rates. Our pooled trust preferred securities are discussed below. At June 30, 2021, we had no intent to sell any securities that were in an unrealized loss position nor is it expected that we would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery.

Pooled Trust Preferred Securities

At June 30, 2021, our securities portfolio contained two pooled trust preferred securities with a fair value of $9.4 million and unrealized losses of $4.4 million. These securities are evaluated using collateral-specific assumptions to estimate the expected future interest and principal cash flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we did not recognize any losses on these securities.

The table below summarizes the relevant characteristics of our pooled trust preferred securities as well as our single issuer trust preferred securities that are included in the “other securities” category in this footnote. Each of the pooled trust preferred securities support a more senior tranche of security holders. Both pooled trust preferred securities have experienced credit defaults. However, we believe that the value of the instruments lies in the full and timely interest payments that will be received through maturity, the steady amortization that will be experienced until maturity, and the full return of principal by the final maturity of the collateralized debt obligations.

Equity Securities

Old National’s equity securities with readily determinable fair values totaled $2.5 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. There were gains on equity securities of $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Old National also has equity securities without readily determinable fair values that are included in other assets that totaled $127.6 million at June 30, 2021 and $105.8 million at December 31, 2020. These equity securities without readily determinable fair values are illiquid investments that consist of partnerships, limited liability companies, and other ownership interests that support affordable housing, economic development, and community revitalization initiatives in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods. There have been no impairments or adjustments on equity securities without readily determinable fair values in the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Old National’s loans consist primarily of loans made to consumers and commercial clients in various industries, including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling, and retailing. Most of Old National’s lending activity occurs within our principal geographic markets of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Old National manages concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, customer relationship, and loan size. While loans to lessors of both residential and non-residential real estate exceed 10% of total loans, no individual sub-segment category within those broader categories reaches the 10% threshold.

The loan categories used to monitor and analyze interest income and yields are different than the portfolio segments used to determine the allowance for credit losses for loans. The allowance for credit losses was calculated by pooling loans of similar credit risk characteristics and credit monitoring procedures. The four loan portfolios are classified into seven segments of loans - commercial, commercial real estate, BBCC, residential real estate, indirect, direct, and home equity. The commercial and commercial real estate loan categories shown on the balance sheet include the same pool of loans as the commercial, commercial real estate, and BBCC portfolio segments. The consumer loan category shown on the balance sheet is comprised of the same loans in the indirect, direct, and home equity portfolio segments. The composition of loans by portfolio segment as of June 30, 2021 follows:

(1)Includes direct finance leases of $28.8 million at June 30, 2021 and $32.3 million at December 31, 2020.

(2)Includes PPP loans of $721.1 million at June 30, 2021 and $943.0 million at December 31, 2020.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial

Commercial loans are classified primarily on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the

availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

Section 1102 of the CARES Act created the PPP, a program administered by the SBA to provide loans to small businesses for payroll and other basic expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Old National has participated in the PPP as a lender. These loans are eligible to be forgiven if certain conditions are satisfied and are fully guaranteed by the SBA. Additionally, loan payments will also be deferred for the first six months of the loan term. The PPP commenced on April 3, 2020 and was available to qualified borrowers through August 8, 2020. No collateral or personal guarantees were required. Neither the government nor lenders are permitted to charge the recipients any fees. During 2020, Old National originated over 9,700 loans with balances in excess of $1.5 billion to new and existing customers through the PPP.

On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CAA. The CAA, among other things, extends the life of the PPP, effectively creating a second round of PPP loans for eligible businesses. Old National has participated in the CAA’s second round of PPP lending. In mid-January Old National opened its lending portal and began processing PPP loan applications. Old National initially focused on helping minority-owned business, women-owned business, not-for-profit entities, and existing first round PPP customers with the lending process. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Old National originated approximately 6,200 loans totaling $583.7 million through the second round of the PPP. Additionally, section 541 of the CAA extended the relief provided by the CARES Act for financial institutions to suspend the GAAP accounting treatment for troubled debt restructuring to January 1, 2022.

At June 30, 2021, remaining PPP loans totaled $721.1 million.

Commercial Real Estate

Commercial real estate loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing Old National’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.

Included with commercial real estate are construction loans, which are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, financial analysis of the developers and property owners, and feasibility studies, if available. Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders (including Old National), sales of developed property, or an interim loan commitment from Old National until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing.

At 231%, Old National Bank’s commercial real estate loans as a percentage of its risk-based capital remained well below the regulatory guideline limit of 300% at June 30, 2021.

BBCC

BBCC loans are typically granted to small businesses with gross revenues of less than $5 million and aggregate debt of less than $1 million. Old National has established minimum debt service coverage ratios, minimum FICO scores for owners and guarantors, and the ability to show relatively stable earnings as criteria to help mitigate risk. Repayment of these loans depends on the personal income of the borrowers and the cash flows of the business. These factors can be affected by changes in economic conditions such as unemployment levels.

Residential

With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, Old National typically establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and generally requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values. Portfolio risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Indirect

Indirect loans are secured by automobile collateral, generally new and used cars and trucks from auto dealers that operate within our footprint. Old National typically mitigates the risk of indirect loans by establishing minimum FICO scores, maximum loan-to-value ratios, and maximum debt-to-income ratios. Repayment of these loans depends largely on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be affected by changes in economic conditions such as unemployment levels. Portfolio risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller amounts spread over many borrowers, conservative credit policies, and ongoing reviews of dealer relationships.

Direct

Direct loans are typically secured by collateral such as auto or real estate or are unsecured. Old National has established conservative underwriting standards such as minimum FICO scores, maximum loan-to-value ratios, and maximum debt-to-income ratios. Repayment of these loans depends largely on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be affected by changes in economic conditions such as unemployment levels. Portfolio risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller amounts spread over many borrowers along with conservative credit policies.

Home Equity

Home equity loans are generally secured by 1-4 family residences that are owner occupied. Old National has established conservative underwriting standards such as minimum FICO scores, maximum loan-to-value ratios, and maximum debt-to-income ratios. Repayment of these loans depends largely on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be affected by changes in economic conditions such as unemployment levels. Portfolio risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller amounts spread over many borrowers, along with conservative credit policies as well as monitoring of updated borrower credit scores.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Loans

Credit quality within the loans held for investment portfolio is continuously monitored by management and is reflected within the allowance for credit losses for loans. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of expected losses inherent within the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio. Credit quality is assessed and monitored by evaluating various attributes and the results of those evaluations are utilized in underwriting new loans and in our process for estimating expected credit losses. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancelable off-balance-sheet credit exposures is accounted for as a separate liability included in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment is adjusted by a credit loss expense, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries. Old National has made a policy election to report accrued interest receivable as a separate line item on the balance sheet. Accrued interest receivable on loans is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and totaled $51.3 million at June 30, 2021 and $57.3 million at December 31, 2020.

The allowance for credit loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of its loan portfolio segments. These segments are further disaggregated into loan classes based on the level at which credit risk is monitored. When computing the level of expected credit losses, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history, delinquency status, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods evaluations of the overall

loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and credit loss expense in those future periods.

The allowance level is influenced by loan volumes, loan AQR migration or delinquency status, changes in historical loss experience, and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

The allowance for credit losses decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily due to changes in the economic forecast. The forecast scenario includes improved unemployment, gross domestic product, and house price index. In addition to the quantitative inputs, several qualitative factors were considered. These factors include the risk that unemployment and gross domestic product prove to be more severe and/or prolonged than our baseline forecast, the consumption of the vaccine is less than anticipated, the presence of communicable strains of the virus, and the slow return to full employment. The mitigating impacts of the reopening of the economy, ongoing increased unemployment benefits, as well as the various government sponsored loan programs, were also considered. Old National’s activity in the allowance for credit losses for loans by portfolio segment was as follows:

PPP loans were factored in the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021; however, due to the SBA guaranty and our borrowers’ adherence to the PPP terms, the provision impact was insignificant.

Unfunded Loan Commitments

Old National maintains an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commercial lending commitments and letters of credit to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for credit losses for loans, modified to take into account the probability of a drawdown on the commitment. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is classified as a liability account on the balance sheet. Old National’s activity in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was as follows:

Balance at end of period	$	10,429	$	11,026	$	10,429	$	11,026

Credit Quality

Old National’s management monitors the credit quality of its loans on an ongoing basis with the AQR for commercial loans reviewed annually or at renewal and the performance of its residential and consumer loans based upon the accrual status refreshed at least quarterly. Internally, management assigns an AQR to each non-homogeneous commercial, commercial real estate, and BBCC loan in the portfolio. The primary determinants of the AQR are the reliability of the primary source of repayment and the past, present, and projected financial condition of the borrower. The AQR will also consider current industry conditions. Major factors used in determining the AQR can vary based on the nature of the loan, but commonly include factors such as debt service coverage, internal cash flow, liquidity, leverage, operating performance, debt burden, FICO scores, occupancy, interest rate sensitivity, and expense burden. Old National uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Criticized. Special mention loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Classified – Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Classified – Nonaccrual. Loans classified as nonaccrual have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, in doubt.

Classified – Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as nonaccrual, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Pass rated loans are those loans that are other than criticized, classified – substandard, classified – nonaccrual, or classified – doubtful.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans

Old National does not record interest on nonaccrual loans until principal is recovered. For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against earnings. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and future payments are reasonably assured.

The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost basis in past due loans by class of loans:

Interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was insignificant during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant quarter over quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans by class of loan:

Loan Participations

Old National has loan participations, which qualify as participating interests, with other financial institutions. At June 30, 2021, these loans totaled $1.088 billion, of which $490.5 million had been sold to other financial institutions and $597.3 million was retained by Old National. The loan participations convey proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder; involve no recourse (other than ordinary representations and warranties) to, or subordination by, any participating interest holder; all cash flows are divided among the participating interest holders in proportion to each holder’s share of ownership; and no holder has the right to pledge the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Old National may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. The decision to restructure a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit Old National by increasing the ultimate probability of collection.

Any loans that are modified are reviewed by Old National to identify if a TDR has occurred, which is when for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, Old National Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status. The modification of the terms of such loans includes one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate of new debt with similar risk, or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment of the loan.

Loans modified in a TDR are typically placed on nonaccrual status until we determine the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms for six months.

If we are unable to resolve a nonperforming loan issue, the credit will be charged off when it is apparent there will be a loss. For large commercial type loans, each relationship is individually analyzed for evidence of apparent loss based on quantitative benchmarks or subjectively based upon certain events or particular circumstances. For residential and consumer loans, a charge off is recorded at the time foreclosure is initiated or when the loan becomes 120 to 180 days past due, whichever is earlier.

For commercial TDRs, an allocated reserve is established within the allowance for credit losses for the difference between the carrying value of the loan and its computed value. To determine the computed value of the loan, one of the following methods is selected: (1) the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, (2) the loan’s observable market price, or (3) the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. The allocated reserve is established as the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the collectable value. If there are significant changes in the amount or timing of the loan’s expected future cash flows, impairment is recalculated and the valuation allowance is adjusted accordingly.

When a residential or consumer loan is identified as a TDR, the loan is typically written down to its collateral value less selling costs.

The following table presents activity in TDRs:

TDRs included within nonaccrual loans totaled $13.6 million at June 30, 2021 and $14.9 million at December 31, 2020. Old National has allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified as TDRs totaling $1.0 million at June 30, 2021 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021, Old National had committed to lend an additional $0.9 million to customers with outstanding loans that were classified as TDRs. At December 31, 2020, Old National had not committed to lend any additional funds to customers with outstanding loans that were classified as TDRs.

The pre-modification and post-modification outstanding recorded investments of loans modified as TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are the same except for when the loan modifications involve the

forgiveness of principal. One loan met the qualifications to be removed from TDR status for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The TDRs that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 did not have a material impact on the allowance for credit losses and resulted in no charge-offs.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification were insignificant during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during 2021 and 2020 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. It is our process to review all classified and criticized loans that, during the period, have been renewed, have entered into a forbearance agreement, have gone from principal and interest to interest only, or have extended the maturity date. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The evaluation is performed under our internal underwriting policy. We also evaluate whether a concession has been granted or if we were adequately compensated through a market interest rate, additional collateral, or a bona fide guarantee. We also consider whether the modification was insignificant relative to the other terms of the agreement or the delay in a payment.

In general, once a modified loan is considered a TDR, the loan will always be considered a TDR, and therefore impaired, until it is paid in full, otherwise settled, sold, or charged off. However, guidance also permits for loans to be removed from TDR status when subsequently restructured under these circumstances: (1) at the time of the subsequent restructuring, the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulties, and this is documented by a current credit evaluation at the time of the restructuring, (2) under the terms of the subsequent restructuring agreement, the institution has granted no concession to the borrower; and (3) the subsequent restructuring agreement includes market terms that are no less favorable than those that would be offered for a comparable new loan. For loans subsequently restructured that have cumulative principal forgiveness, the loan should continue to be measured in accordance with ASC 310-10, Receivables – Overall. However, consistent with ASC 310-40-50-2, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, Creditor Disclosure of Troubled Debt Restructurings, the loan would not be required to be reported in the years following the restructuring if the subsequent restructuring meets both of these criteria: (1) has an interest rate at the time of the subsequent restructuring that is not less than a market interest rate; and (2) is performing in compliance with its modified terms after the subsequent restructuring.

Non-TDR Loan Modifications due to COVID-19

On March 22, 2020, the Interagency Statement was issued by our banking regulators that encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the President of the United States under the National Emergencies Act terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised in April 2020 to clarify the interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth the banking regulators’ views on consumer protection considerations. Additionally, section 541 of the CAA extends the relief provided by the CARES Act for financial institutions to suspend the GAAP accounting treatment for troubled debt restructuring to January 1, 2022. In accordance with such guidance, we are offering short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who are current and otherwise not past due. These include short-term (180 days or less) modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. The table below presents these loan deferrals by loan category:


	December 31, 2020		June 30, 2021
(dollars in thousands)	Deferrals Balance		Deferrals Balance (1)		Number of Deferrals

Residential real estate	1,855		264		4
Consumer	8,224		4,104		217
Total	$	63,902	$	21,681	261

(1) Includes second deferrals between 90 and 180 days totaling $2.5 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans, $0.1 million of residential real estate loans, and $0.6 million of consumer loans.

Finance Leases

Old National leases certain banking center buildings and equipment under finance leases that are included in premises and equipment. See Notes 9 and 15 to the consolidated financial statements for detail regarding these leases.

NOTE 9 – LEASES

Old National has operating and finance leases for land, office space, banking centers, and equipment. These leases are generally for periods of 5 to 20 years with various renewal options. We include certain renewal options in the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities if they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Variable lease payments that are not dependent on an index or a rate are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability and are recognized in profit and loss when incurred. Variable lease payments are defined as payments made for the right to use an asset that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time.

Old National has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For real estate leases, non-lease components and other non-components, such as common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes, and insurance are not included in the measurement of the lease liability since they are generally able to be segregated. For certain equipment leases, Old National accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component using the practical expedient available for that class of assets.

Old National does not have any material sub-lease agreements.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

Junior subordinated debentures related to trust preferred securities are classified in “other borrowings.” Junior subordinated debentures qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes, subject to certain limitations.

Through various acquisitions, Old National assumed junior subordinated debenture obligations related to various trusts that issued trust preferred securities. Old National guarantees the payment of distributions on the trust

preferred securities issued by the trusts. Proceeds from the issuance of each of these securities were used to purchase junior subordinated debentures with the same financial terms as the securities issued by the trusts.

Old National, at any time, may redeem the junior subordinated debentures at par and, thereby cause a redemption of the trust preferred securities in whole or in part.

At June 30, 2021, Old National had 2.4 million shares remaining available for issuance under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan. The granting of awards to key employees is typically in the form of restricted stock awards or units.

Restricted Stock Awards

Old National granted 0.2 million time-based restricted stock awards to certain key officers during the six months ended June 30, 2021, with shares vesting generally over a 36 month period.

Shares are subject to certain restrictions and risk of forfeiture by the participants. At June 30, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested restricted stock awards was $6.5 million. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

Old National recorded share-based compensation expense, net of tax, related to restricted stock awards of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Restricted Stock Units

Old National granted 0.2 million shares of performance based restricted stock units to certain key officers during the six months ended June 30, 2021, with shares vesting at the end of a 36 month period based on the achievement of certain targets. At June 30, 2021, nonvested shares totaled 0.9 million. For certain awards, the level of performance could increase or decrease the number of shares earned. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Shares are subject to certain restrictions and risk of forfeiture by the participants. At June 30, 2021, unrecognized compensation expense was $5.7 million. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Old National recorded share-based compensation expense, net of tax, related to restricted stock units of $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Stock Options and Appreciation Rights

Old National has not granted stock options since 2009. However, Old National did acquire stock options and stock appreciation rights through prior year acquisitions. Old National recorded no incremental expense associated with the conversion of these options and stock appreciation rights. At June 30, 2021, 28 thousand stock appreciation rights remained outstanding.

NOTE 18 – INCOME TAXES

Following is a summary of the major items comprising the differences in taxes from continuing operations computed at the federal statutory rate and as recorded in the consolidated statements of income:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)	2021			2020			2021			2020
Provision at statutory rate of 21%	$	16,117		$	12,908		$	38,051		$	18,279
Tax-exempt income:
Tax-exempt interest	(2,762)			(2,671)			(5,541)			(5,303)
Section 291/265 interest disallowance	30			44			63			116
Company-owned life insurance income	(556)			(623)			(1,099)			(1,270)
Tax-exempt income	(3,288)			(3,250)			(6,577)			(6,457)
State income taxes	2,200			1,718			5,173			1,711
Interim period effective rate adjustment	(662)			75			(2,437)			3,341
Tax credit investments - federal	(1,430)			(1,819)			(2,523)			(3,720)
Other, net	1,023			129			(97)			(454)
Income tax expense	$	13,960		$	9,761		$	31,590		$	12,700
Effective tax rate	18.2		%	15.9		%	17.4		%	14.6		%

The provision for income taxes was recorded at June 30, 2021 and 2020 based on the current estimate of the effective annual rate.

The higher effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily the result of increases in pre-tax book income.

Net Deferred Tax Assets

Net deferred tax assets are included in other assets on the balance sheet. Significant components of net deferred tax assets (liabilities) were as follows:


(dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Deferred Tax Assets
Allowance for credit losses, net of recapture	$	29,259	$	34,971
Benefit plan accruals	13,364		20,076

Net operating loss carryforwards	15,030		18,982

Deferred gain on securities	1,559		2,102
Acquired loans	9,720		11,989
Operating lease liabilities	23,937		24,245



Tax credit investments and other partnerships	1,339		1,054

Other, net	654		488
Total deferred tax assets	94,862		113,907
Deferred Tax Liabilities

Purchase accounting	(18,358)		(18,232)
Loan servicing rights	(7,092)		(6,582)
Premises and equipment	(13,898)		(14,008)
Prepaid expenses	(956)		(955)
Operating lease right-of-use assets	(21,543)		(21,569)
Unrealized gains on available-for-sale investment securities	(15,217)		(40,756)
Unrealized gains on hedges	(1,056)		(1,080)
Other, net	(1,581)		(1,555)
Total deferred tax liabilities	(79,701)		(104,737)
Net deferred tax assets	$	15,161	$	9,170

Through the acquisition of Anchor (WI) in the second quarter of 2016 and Lafayette Savings Bank in the fourth quarter of 2014, both former thrifts, Old National Bank’s retained earnings at June 30, 2021 include base-year bad debt reserves, created for tax purposes prior to 1988, totaling $52.8 million. Of this total, $50.9 million was acquired from Anchor (WI), and $1.9 million was acquired from Lafayette Savings Bank. Base-year reserves are subject to recapture in the unlikely event that Old National Bank (1) makes distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal income tax purposes, (2) redeems its stock, or (3) liquidates. Old National Bank has no intention of making such a nondividend distribution. Accordingly, under current accounting principles, a related deferred income tax liability of $13.0 million has not been recognized.

No valuation allowance was recorded at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020 because, based on current expectations, Old National believes it will generate sufficient income in future years to realize deferred tax assets. Old National has federal net operating loss carryforwards totaling $36.7 million at June 30, 2021 and $52.4 million at December 31, 2020. This federal net operating loss was acquired from the acquisition of Anchor (WI) in 2016. If not used, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2030 to 2033. Old National has recorded state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $119.4 million at June 30, 2021 and $132.2 million at December 31, 2020. If not used, the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2027 to 2033.

The federal and recorded state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code section 382. Old National believes that all of the recorded net operating loss carryforwards will be used prior to expiration.

NOTE 19 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

As part of our overall interest rate risk management, Old National uses derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, collars, caps, and floors. The notional amount does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The

amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual agreements. Derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value and are not reported on a net basis.

In accordance with ASC 815-20-35-1, subsequent changes in fair value for a hedging instrument that has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship should be accounted for in the following manner:

Cash flow hedges: changes in fair value are recognized as a component in other comprehensive income.

Fair value hedges: changes in fair value are recognized concurrently in earnings.

As long as a hedging instrument is designated and the results of the effectiveness testing support that the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, 100% of the periodic changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are accounted for as outlined above. This is the case whether or not economic mismatches exist in the hedging relationship. As a result, there is no periodic measurement or recognition of ineffectiveness. Rather, the full impact of hedge gains and losses is recognized in the period in which the hedged transactions impact earnings.

The change in fair value of the hedging instrument that is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is presented in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item.

Cash Flow Hedges

Interest rate swaps of certain borrowings were designated as cash flow hedges totaling $150.0 million notional amount at June 30, 2021 and $325.0 million notional amount at December 31, 2020. Interest rate collars and floors related to variable-rate commercial loan pools were designated as cash flow hedges totaling $400.0 million notional amount at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The hedges were determined to be effective during all periods presented and we expect them to remain effective during the remaining terms.

Old National has designated its interest rate collars as cash flow hedges. The structure of these instruments is such that Old National pays the counterparty an incremental amount if the collar index exceeds the cap rate. Conversely, Old National receives an incremental amount if the index falls below the floor rate. No payments are required if the collar index falls between the cap and floor rates.

Old National has designated its interest rate floor transactions as cash flow hedges. The structure of these instruments is such that Old National receives an incremental amount if the index falls below the floor strike rate. No payments are required if the index remains above the floor strike rate.

Fair Value Hedges

Interest rate swaps of certain borrowings were designated as fair value hedges totaling $379.0 million notional amount at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Interest rate swaps of certain available-for-sale investment securities were designated as fair value hedges totaling $910.0 million notional amount at June 30, 2021 and $347.5 million notional amount at December 31, 2020. The hedges were determined to be effective during all periods presented and we expect them to remain effective during the remaining terms.

The effect of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships on the consolidated statements of income were as follows:


		Three Months Ended June 30,				Three Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in thousands)		2021		2020		2021		2020
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Location of Gain or (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income on Derivative				Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income

Interest rate contracts	Interest income/(expense)	$	2,776	$	7,557	$	1,905	$	2,101

Amounts reported in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest income or interest expense as interest payments are received or paid on Old National’s derivative instruments. During the next 12 months, we estimate that $2.9 million will be reclassified to interest income and $0.6 million will be reclassified to interest expense.

Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (interest rate lock commitments) and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors are considered derivatives. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. At June 30, 2021, the notional amounts of the interest rate lock commitments were $157.6 million and forward commitments were $184.1 million. At December 31, 2020, the notional amounts of the interest rate lock commitments were $224.7 million and forward commitments were $261.0 million. It is our practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans to third party

investors when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from our commitment to fund the loans.

Old National also enters into derivative instruments for the benefit of its customers. The notional amounts of these customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $2.274 billion at June 30, 2021. The notional amounts of these customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $2.008 billion at December 31, 2020. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. These instruments include interest rate swaps, caps, and collars. Commonly, Old National will economically hedge significant exposures related to these derivative contracts entered into for the benefit of customers by entering into offsetting contracts with approved, reputable, independent counterparties with substantially matching terms.

Old National enters into derivative financial instruments as part of its foreign currency risk management strategies. These derivative instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts to accommodate the business needs of its customers. Old National does not designate these foreign currency forward contracts for hedge accounting treatment.

Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Old National’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional, principal, or contract amounts. There are provisions in our agreements with the counterparties that allow for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed thresholds are collateralized. In addition, we minimize credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

NOTE 20 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COVID-19

COVID-19 continues to unfold across the U.S. The COVID-19 pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected, and are likely to continue to adversely affect, the business, financial condition, and results of operations of the Company and its customers. The COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in the behavior of customers, businesses, and their employees, including illness, quarantines, social distancing practices, cancellation of events and travel, business and school shutdowns, reduction in commercial activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment, and overall economic and financial market instability. Future effects, including additional actions taken by federal, state, and local governments to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, are unknown. However, if these actions are sustained, it may adversely impact several industries within our geographic footprint and impair the ability of Old National’s customers to fulfill their contractual obligations to the Company. This could cause Old National to experience a material adverse effect on our business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on Old National’s intangible assets, investments, loans, loan servicing rights, deferred tax assets, or counter-party risk derivatives.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, Old National Bancorp and its subsidiaries have been named, from time to time, as defendants in various legal actions. Certain of the actual or threatened legal actions may include claims for substantial compensatory and/or punitive damages or claims for indeterminate amounts of damages.

Old National contests liability and/or the amount of damages as appropriate in each pending matter. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, Old National cannot predict with certainty the loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, Old National believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that the outcome of such pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of Old National, although the outcome of such matters could be material to Old National’s operating

results and cash flows for a particular future period, depending on, among other things, the level of Old National’s revenues or income for such period. Old National will accrue for a loss contingency if (1) it is probable that a future event will occur and confirm the loss and (2) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Old National is not currently involved in any material litigation.

Credit-Related Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, Old National’s banking affiliates have entered into various agreements to extend credit, including loan commitments of $4.151 billion and standby letters of credit of $72.0 million at June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, approximately $3.901 billion of the loan commitments had fixed rates and $250.4 million had floating rates, with the floating interest rates ranging from 0% to 14%. At December 31, 2020, loan commitments totaled $3.720 billion and standby letters of credit totaled $86.9 million. These commitments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for unfunded loan commitments totaled $10.4 million at June 30, 2021 and $11.7 million at December 31, 2020.

Old National had credit extensions with various unaffiliated banks related to letter of credit commitments issued on behalf of Old National’s clients totaling $7.9 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Old National provided collateral to the unaffiliated banks to secure credit extensions totaling $7.5 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Old National did not provide collateral for the remaining credit extensions.

Visa Class B Restricted Shares

In 2008, Old National received Visa Class B restricted shares as part of Visa’s initial public offering. These shares are transferable only under limited circumstances until they can be converted into the publicly traded Class A common shares. This conversion will not occur until the final settlement of certain litigation for which Visa is indemnified by the holders of Visa’s Class B shares, including Old National. Visa funded an escrow account from its initial public offering to settle these litigation claims. Increases in litigation claims requiring Visa to fund the escrow account due to insufficient funds will result in a reduction of the conversion ratio of each Visa Class B share to unrestricted Class A shares. As of June 30, 2021, the conversion ratio was 1.6228. Based on the existing transfer restriction and the uncertainty of the outcome of the Visa litigation, the 65,466 Class B shares that Old National owns at June 30, 2021 are carried at a zero cost basis and are included in other assets with our equity securities that have no readily determinable fair value.

NOTE 21 – FINANCIAL GUARANTEES

Old National holds instruments, in the normal course of business with clients, that are considered financial guarantees in accordance with FASB ASC 460-10 (FIN 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others), which requires Old National to record the instruments at fair value. Standby letters of credit guarantees are issued in connection with agreements made by clients to counterparties. Standby letters of credit are contingent upon failure of the client to perform the terms of the underlying contract. Credit risk associated with standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that associated with extending loans to clients and is subject to normal credit policies. The term of these standby letters of credit is typically one year or less. At June 30, 2021, the notional amount of standby letters of credit was $72.0 million, which represented the maximum amount of future funding requirements, and the carrying value was $0.4 million. At December 31, 2020, the notional amount of standby letters of credit was $86.9 million, which represented the maximum amount of future funding requirements, and the carrying value was $0.5 million.

Old National is a party in risk participation transactions of interest rate swaps, which had total notional amount of $74.8 million at June 30, 2021.

NOTE 22 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Old National Bank, Old National’s bank subsidiary, is the only significant subsidiary upon which management makes decisions regarding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Each of the banking centers of Old National Bank provide a group of similar community banking services, including such products and services as commercial, real estate and consumer loans, time deposits, checking and savings accounts, cash management, brokerage, trust, and investment advisory services. The individual banking centers located throughout

our Midwest footprint have similar operating and economic characteristics. While the chief decision maker monitors the revenue streams of the various products, services, and regional locations, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the community banking services and banking center locations are considered by management to be aggregated into one reportable operating segment, community banking.

NOTE 23 – FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

•Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Old National used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using swap and LIBOR curves plus spreads that adjust for loss severities, volatility, credit risk, and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations.

Residential loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2).

Derivative financial instruments: The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on derivative valuation models using market data inputs as of the valuation date (Level 2).

Recurring Basis

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option, are summarized below:

The accretion of discounts on securities in the table above is included in interest income. The increase or decrease in the fair value of securities in the table above is included in the unrealized holding gains (losses) for the period in the statement of other comprehensive income. An increase in fair value is reflected in the balance sheet as an increase in the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale, an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is included in shareholders’ equity, and a decrease in other assets related to the tax impact. A decrease in fair value is reflected in the balance sheet as a decrease in the fair value of investment securities available-for-sale, a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, which is included in shareholders’ equity, and an increase in other assets related to the tax impact.

(3)Each currently defaulted pool asset is assigned a recovery probability based on specific issuer evaluation of 0%, 25%, or 100%.

(4)Unobservable inputs are weighted by the estimated number of defaults and current performing collateral of the instruments.

Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement in isolation would have resulted in a significant change to the fair value measurement. The pooled trust preferred securities Old National owns are subordinate note classes that rely on an ongoing cash flow stream to support their values. The senior note classes receive the benefit of prepayments to the detriment of subordinate note classes since the ongoing interest cash flow stream is reduced by the early redemption. Generally, a change in prepayment rates or additional pool asset defaults would have an impact that is directionally opposite from a change in the expected recovery of a defaulted pool asset.

Non-Recurring Basis

Assets measured at fair value at June 30, 2021 on a non-recurring basis are summarized below:


			Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2021 Using
(dollars in thousands)	Carrying Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Collateral Dependent Loans:

Commercial real estate loans	23,825		—		—		23,825



Loan servicing rights	277		—		277		—

Commercial and commercial real estate loans that are deemed collateral dependent are valued using the discounted cash flows. The liquidation amounts are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral using the most recently available appraisals with certain adjustments made based on the type of property, age of appraisal, current status of the property, and other related factors to estimate the current value of the collateral. These commercial and commercial real estate loans had a principal amount of $40.6 million, with a valuation allowance of $4.3 million at June 30, 2021. Old National recorded provision expense associated with these loans totaling $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and provision recoveries totaling $38 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Old National recorded provision recoveries associated with commercial and commercial real estate loans that were deemed collateral dependent totaling $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and provision expense totaling $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Other real estate owned and other repossessed property is measured at fair value less costs to sell. Old National did not have any other real estate owned or repossessed property measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2021. There were no write-downs of other real estate owned for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $23 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. There were write-downs of other real estate owned of $87 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $98 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an individual tranche exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded on that tranche so that the servicing asset is carried at fair value. Fair value is determined at a tranche level, based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts when available, or alternatively based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes a discount rate, weighted average prepayment speed, and other economic factors that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data (Level 2). The valuation allowance for loan servicing rights with impairments at June 30, 2021 totaled $0.1 million. Old National recorded recoveries associated with these loan servicing rights totaling $41 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. There were impairments of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

(1)Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the instruments.

Fair Value Option

Old National may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in net income. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability, or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not be revoked once an election is made.

Residential Loans Held For Sale

Old National has elected the fair value option for residential loans held for sale. For these loans, interest income is recorded in the consolidated statements of income based on the contractual amount of interest income earned on the financial assets (except any that are on nonaccrual status). None of these loans are 90 days or more past due, nor are

any on nonaccrual status. Included in the income statement is interest income for loans held for sale totaling $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Old National has elected the fair value option for newly originated conforming fixed-rate and adjustable-rate first mortgage loans held for sale. These loans are intended for sale and are hedged with derivative instruments. Old National has elected the fair value option to mitigate accounting mismatches in cases where hedge accounting is complex and to achieve operational simplification. The fair value option was not elected for loans held for investment.

The difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate remaining principal balance for loans for which the fair value option has been elected was as follows:


(dollars in thousands)	Aggregate Fair Value		Difference		Contractual Principal
June 30, 2021
Residential loans held for sale	$	50,121	$	1,896	$	48,225
December 31, 2020
Residential loans held for sale	$	63,250	$	3,485	$	59,765

Accrued interest at period end is included in the fair value of the instruments.

The following table presents the amount of gains and losses from fair value changes included in income before income taxes for financial assets carried at fair value:

NOTE 24 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Old National’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of Topic 606 is recognized within noninterest income. The consolidated statements of income include all categories of noninterest income. The following table reflects only the categories of noninterest income that are within the scope of Topic 606:

Total	$	32,184	$	27,828	$	62,342	$	58,835

Wealth management fees: Old National earns wealth management fees based upon asset custody and investment management services provided to individual and institutional customers. Most of these customers receive monthly or quarterly billings for services rendered based upon the market value of assets in custody. Fees that are transaction based are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed.

Service charges on deposit accounts: Old National earns fees from deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees and overdraft fees are recognized at a point in time, since the customer generally has a right to cancel the depository arrangement at any time. The arrangement is considered a day-to-day contract with ongoing renewals and optional purchases, so the duration of the contract does not extend beyond the services already performed. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which Old National satisfies its performance obligation.

Debit card and ATM fees: Debit card and ATM fees include ATM usage fees and debit card interchange income. As with the transaction-based fees on deposit accounts, the ATM fees are recognized at the point in time that Old National fulfills the customer’s request. Old National earns interchange fees from cardholder transactions processed through card association networks. Interchange rates are generally set by the card associations based upon purchase volumes and other factors. Interchange fees represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

Investment product fees: Investment product fees are the commissions and fees received from a registered broker/dealer and investment adviser that provide those services to Old National customers. Old National acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider. These fees are recognized monthly from the third-party broker based upon services already performed, net of the processing fees charged to Old National by the broker.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion is an analysis of our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and financial condition as of June 30, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In this report, we have made various statements regarding current expectations or forecasts of future events, which speak only as of the date the statements are made. These statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are also made from time-to-time in press releases and in oral statements made by the officers of Old National Bancorp (“Old National” or the “Company”). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words “expect,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” or the negative of those terms, and other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements also include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimated cost savings, plans and objectives for future operations, the Company’s business and growth strategies, including future acquisitions of banks, regulatory developments, and expectations about performance as well as economic and market conditions and trends.

Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates, which although believed to be reasonable, may turn out to be incorrect. Therefore, undue reliance should not be placed upon these estimates and statements. We cannot assure that any of these statements, estimates, or beliefs will be realized and actual results may differ from those contemplated in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. You are advised to consult further disclosures we may make on related subjects in our filings with the SEC. In addition to other factors discussed in this report, some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include the following:

•the possibility that the merger between Old National and First Midwest will not close when expected or at all because required regulatory, shareholder, or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closing are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated (and the risk that required regulatory approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction);

•the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the definitive merger agreement between First Midwest and Old National;

•the risk that any announcements relating to the merger could have adverse effects on the market price of the common stock of either or both parties to the transaction;

•the possibility that the merger may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events;

•the length, severity, magnitude, and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the direct and indirect impact of such pandemic, including its impact on the Company’s financial conditions and business operations;

•changes in the economy, which could materially impact credit quality trends and the ability to generate loans and gather deposits, including the pace of recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic;

•market, economic, operational, liquidity, credit, and interest rate risks associated with our business;

•competition;

•government legislation and policies, including changes to address the impact of COVID-19 through the CARES Act and other legislative and regulatory responses to the COVID-19 pandemic;

•our ability to execute our business plan, including the anticipated impact from the ONB Way strategic plan that may differ from current estimates;

•unanticipated changes in our liquidity position, including but not limited to changes in our access to sources of liquidity and capital to address our liquidity needs;

•our ability to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance for credit losses;

•uncertainty about the discontinued use of LIBOR and the transition to an alternative rate;

•failure or circumvention of our internal controls;

•failure or disruption of our information systems;

•significant changes in accounting, tax, or regulatory practices or requirements, including the impact of the CECL standard;

•new legal obligations or liabilities or unfavorable resolutions of litigations;

•disruptive technologies in payment systems and other services traditionally provided by banks; and

•operational risks or risk management failures by us or critical third parties, including without limitation with respect to data processing, information systems, cyber-security, technological changes, vendor problems, business interruption, and fraud risks.

Investors should consider these risks, uncertainties, and other factors in addition to risk factors included in this filing and our other filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily comparable to similar measures that may be represented by other companies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Old National is devoted to the basic banking principles of organic loan growth, increases in non-interest income, prudent capital deployment, and expense management. We strive to continuously improve our operating leverage by growing our revenue faster than our expenses. In addition, we continue to actively seek new ways to serve our clients better by simplifying processes, offering superior products and services, and embracing new technologies.

During the second quarter of 2021, Old National and First Midwest entered into a merger agreement. Both financial institutions are relationship-focused, with compatible cultures and a commitment to helping our clients achieve financial success. We believe this merger will create powerful synergies, additional market coverage, and create financial strength that will drive long-term shareholder value.

During the second quarter of 2021, net income was $62.8 million, or $0.38 per diluted share. Net income was $51.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2020.

During the second quarter of 2021, we recorded a provision for credit losses recapture of $4.9 million. This provision recapture was derived from the Moody’s baseline forecast, which included improved unemployment, gross domestic product, and house price index when compared to the forecast used in the prior quarter.

Despite the challenging operating environment, we achieved strong fundamental results during the second quarter of 2021.

Loans: Our loan balances, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $140.6 million to $13.785 billion at June 30, 2021 compared to $13.925 billion at March 31, 2021. This was primarily driven by a decline in PPP loans of $403.0 million, partially offset by growth in other commercial and commercial real estate loans. We reported strong total commercial loan production of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2021 and the commercial loan pipeline totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2021.

Net Interest Income: For the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, our net interest income increased primarily due to higher average loans and investment securities, higher PPP related fees from forgiveness of loans, and lower costs of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by decreased loan and investment securities yields. Net interest income increased in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher average loans and investment securities, partially offset by decreased loan and investment securities yields.

Noninterest Income: Noninterest income decreased $7.7 million to $108.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower mortgage banking revenue, lower debt securities gains, and $1.5 million of swap termination fees. These decreases were partially offset by higher wealth management fees. The second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021 decreased $5.2 million primarily due to lower mortgage banking revenue.

Expenses: Noninterest expenses decreased $31.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to $36.1 million of charges related to the ONB Way in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The second quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2021 increased $11.9 million reflecting higher professional fees and salaries.

Old National’s robust commercial pipeline at June 30, 2021, coupled with excess liquidity from deposit growth along with the momentum build from our ONB Way revenue initiatives bode well for future quarters. However, we are cautious that a peak in new cases of COVID-19 could stall the economy and cause a setback in the progress made during the first half of 2021.

Pandemic Update

As previously disclosed, the COVID-19 pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that have adversely affected our operations during 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021. Our historically careful underwriting practices, diverse and granular portfolios, and Midwest-based footprint has helped mitigate any adverse impact to Old National. In addition, the combination of the vaccine rollout, government stimulus payments, and reduced spending during the pandemic are likely contributing factors mitigating the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and its customers as of June 30, 2021. However, there are some concerns that indicate a slower return to pre-pandemic routines. Examples of these concerns relate to more people than anticipated who refuse the vaccines and the emergence of resistant strains, which may cause

businesses in some parts of the country to be much slower to reopen. Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances surrounding the pandemic, it is difficult to predict the future adverse financial impact to Old National.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the most significant component of our earnings, comprising 73% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net interest income and margin are influenced by many factors, primarily the volume and mix of earning assets, funding sources, and interest rate fluctuations. Other factors include the level of accretion income on purchased loans, prepayment risk on mortgage and investment-related assets, and the composition and maturity of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We have observed signs of an economic recovery in the United States, with jobs, consumer spending, manufacturing, and other indicators rebounding from their weakest levels. However, there have been concerns about the emergence of communicable strains of the virus and whether enough people will agree to be vaccinated. Economic uncertainty remains and bouts of elevated volatility are expected to continue.

Interest rates remained at near historic lows during the second quarter of 2021 after declining dramatically in the first half of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Federal Reserve’s Federal Funds range is currently in a target range of 0.00% to 0.25%, with the Effective Fed Funds Rate in the 0.05% to 0.10% range. If interest rates decline further, our interest rate spread could decline, which may result in a decrease in our net interest income. However, management has taken balance sheet restructuring, derivative, and deposit pricing actions to help mitigate this risk.

Loans typically generate more interest income than investment securities with similar maturities. Funding from client deposits generally costs less than wholesale funding sources. Factors such as general economic activity, Federal Reserve monetary policy, and price volatility of competing alternative investments, can also exert significant influence on our ability to optimize the mix of assets and funding, net interest income, and margin.

Net interest income is the excess of interest received from interest-earning assets over interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. For analytical purposes, net interest income is presented in the table that follows, adjusted to a taxable equivalent basis to reflect what our tax-exempt assets would need to yield in order to achieve the same after-tax yield as a taxable asset. We used the federal statutory tax rate in effect of 21% for all periods. This analysis portrays the income tax benefits related to tax-exempt assets and helps to facilitate a comparison between taxable and tax-exempt assets. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin and net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis. Therefore, management believes these measures provide useful information for both management and investors by allowing them to make better peer comparisons.

Net interest margin - taxable equivalent basis	2.91		%	3.14		%	2.93		%	3.22		%

The increase in net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to higher average earning assets, lower costs of average interest-bearing liabilities, and higher interest and fees related to PPP loans. Partially offsetting these increases were lower yields on average earning assets and lower accretion income in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 included accretion income (interest income in excess of contractual interest income) associated with acquired loans. Accretion income totaled $5.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $5.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $12.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. We expect accretion income on loans to decrease over time, but this may be offset by future acquisitions. Net interest income included interest and net fees combined on PPP loans totaling $11.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $24.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

(1)The variance not solely due to rate or volume is allocated equally between the rate and volume variances.

(2)Interest on investment securities and loans includes the effect of taxable equivalent adjustments of $2.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2021; and $4.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 using the federal statutory rate in effect of 21%.

The decrease in the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to lower yields on interest earning assets and a change in the mix of average interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by higher average earning assets and lower costs of interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 37 basis points and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 18 basis points in the quarterly year-over-year comparison. The yield on interest earning assets is calculated by dividing annualized taxable equivalent net interest income by average interest earning assets while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities is calculated by dividing annualized interest expense by average interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 51 basis points and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 29 basis points in the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Accretion income represented 10 basis points of the net interest margin in both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 12 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 14 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The continued spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may offset the recent positive economic momentum and government stimulus programs, and could negatively impact net interest margin. Accordingly, there is still much uncertainty regarding the economic environment.

Average earning assets were $21.095 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $19.008 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $2.087 billion, or 11%. Average earning assets were $20.850 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $18.391 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $2.459 billion, or 13%. The increases in average earning assets were due to increases in average investment securities and average loans. The loan portfolio including loans held for sale, which generally has an average yield higher than the investment portfolio, was 67% of average interest earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 70% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Average loans including loans held for sale increased $545.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to higher average commercial real estate loans, partially offset by lower average commercial loans, residential real estate loans, and consumer loans. Average loans including

loans held for sale increased $1.093 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to higher average commercial loans and commercial real estate loans, partially offset by lower average residential real estate loans and consumer loans. The increase in average commercial loans for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflected strong PPP loan production, which began in April 2020. Average commercial loans included PPP loans totaling $1.016 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.012 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.125 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $562.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Average investments increased $1.395 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.137 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 reflecting excess liquidity.

Average noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.269 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.532 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $930.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.077 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020. This growth was primarily driven by the increased business and personal savings rates from various government stimulus actions.

Average borrowed funds decreased $307.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $323.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020.

Provision for Credit Losses

Old National recorded a provision for credit losses recapture of $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $22.5 million provision for credit losses expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net recoveries on loans totaled $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net charge-offs of $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The provision for credit losses was a recapture of $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to expense of $39.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net recoveries on loans totaled $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net charge-offs of $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The provision for credit losses recapture in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 reflected the improved economic forecast. PPP loans were factored in the provision for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021; however, due to the SBA guaranty and our borrowers’ adherence to the PPP terms, the provision impact was insignificant. Continued loan growth in future periods, a decline in our current level of recoveries, or an increase in charge-offs could result in an increase in provision expense. Additionally, with the adoption of CECL beginning on January 1, 2020, provision expense may become more volatile due to changes in CECL model assumptions of credit quality, macroeconomic factors and conditions, and loan composition, which drive the allowance for credit losses balance.

Noninterest Income

We generate revenues in the form of noninterest income through client fees, sales commissions, and other gains and losses from our core banking franchise and other related businesses, such as wealth management, investment consulting, and investment products. The following table details the components in noninterest income:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				%		Six Months Ended June 30,				%
(dollars in thousands)	2021		2020		Change		2021		2020		Change

Total noninterest income	$	51,508	$	58,461	(11.9)	%	$	108,220	$	115,963	(6.7)	%

Noninterest income decreased $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower mortgage banking revenue.

Noninterest income decreased $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower mortgage banking revenue, lower debt securities gains, and $1.5 million of swap termination fees in the six months ended June 30, 2021. These decreases were partially offset by higher wealth management fees.

Wealth management fees increased $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to higher personal and corporate trust fees and fiduciary account fees.

Service charges and overdraft fees increased $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflecting higher overdraft fees and service charges due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Mortgage banking revenue decreased $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 reflecting lower refinance transactions related to higher rates in 2021, which caused pipeline levels to drop and gain on sale margins to partially normalize.

Investment product fees increased $1.2 million in for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 reflecting higher investment and advisor fees in 2021.

Debt securities gains (losses), net had a favorable variance of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to higher realized gains on sales of available-for-sale securities in 2021. Debt securities gains (losses), net had an unfavorable variance of $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower realized gains on sales of available-for-sale securities in 2021, partially offset by lower realized losses on sales of available-for-sale securities in 2021.

Other income decreased $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower branded card incentives and unfavorable variances in net gains (losses) on sales of premises and other assets. Other income decreased $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to $1.5 million of swap termination fees in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and lower branded card incentives.

Noninterest Expense

Total noninterest expense	$	129,618	$	120,121	7.9	%	$	247,358	$	278,865	(11.3)	%

Noninterest expense increased $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 reflecting higher salaries and employee benefits, higher professional fees associated with the anticipated First Midwest merger, higher data processing, and higher amortization of tax credit investments. These increases were partially offset by $4.9 million of charges related to the ONB Way strategic initiative in the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Noninterest expense decreased $31.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflecting $36.1 million of charges in the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to the ONB Way strategic initiative.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to higher corporate incentives. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to personnel expenses related to the ONB Way totaling $7.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease was partially offset by higher corporate incentives.

Equipment expenses increased $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to higher accelerated depreciation and maintenance expenses of non-deployed assets related to the optimization of our branch network as part of the ONB Way strategic initiative.

Marketing expenses decreased $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to lower sales promotion expenses.

Data processing expenses increased $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 related to the modernization of our technology infrastructure.

Professional fees increased $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 reflecting $6.2 million of professional fees incurred in the second quarter of 2021 related to the First Midwest merger, partially offset by consulting fees incurred in 2020 related to the ONB Way.

FDIC assessment decreased $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 due to decreased rates.

Amortization of intangibles decreased $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to lower amortization of core deposit intangibles.

Amortization of tax credit investments increased $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Amortization of tax credit investments decreased $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The recognition of tax credit amortization expense is contingent upon the successful completion of the rehabilitation of a historic building or completion of a solar project within the reporting period. Many factors including weather, labor availability, building regulations, inspections, and other unexpected construction delays related to a rehabilitation project can cause a project to exceed its estimated completion date. See Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on our tax credit investments.

Other expense decreased $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $29.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 primarily due to lease termination charges and impairments on long-lived assets related to branch consolidations that were part of the ONB Way strategic initiative totaling $3.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $24.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 also reflected favorable variances in provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments totaling $2.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

We record a provision for income taxes currently payable and for income taxes payable or benefits to be received in the future, which arise due to timing differences in the recognition of certain items for financial statement and income tax purposes. The major difference between the effective tax rate applied to our financial statement income and the federal statutory tax rate is caused by a tax benefit from our tax credit investments and interest on tax-exempt securities and loans. The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 18.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 15.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 17.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 14.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. In accordance with ASC 740-270, Accounting for Interim Reporting, the provision for income taxes was recorded at June 30, 2021 based on the current estimate of the

effective annual rate. The higher effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily the result of increases in pre-tax book income. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Overview

At June 30, 2021, our assets were $23.676 billion, a $715.0 million increase compared to assets of $22.961 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher investment securities.

We have observed signs of an economic recovery in the United States, with jobs, consumer spending, manufacturing, and other indicators rebounding from their weakest levels. However, there have been concerns about the emergence of communicable strains of the virus and whether enough people will agree to be vaccinated. Economic uncertainty remains and bouts of elevated volatility are expected to continue.

Earning Assets

Our earning assets are comprised of investment securities, portfolio loans, loans held for sale, money market investments, interest earning accounts with the Federal Reserve, and equity securities. Earning assets were $21.085 billion at June 30, 2021, a $771.2 million increase compared to earning assets of $20.313 billion at December 31, 2020.

Investment Securities

We classify substantially all of our investment securities as available-for-sale to give management the flexibility to sell the securities prior to maturity if needed, based on fluctuating interest rates or changes in our funding requirements.

Equity securities are recorded at fair value and totaled $2.5 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

At June 30, 2021, the investment securities portfolio, including equity securities, was $6.947 billion compared to $6.142 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $804.9 million. Investment securities represented 33% of earning assets at June 30, 2021, compared to 30% at December 31, 2020. Stronger commercial loan demand in the future could result in management’s decision to reduce the securities portfolio. At June 30, 2021, we had no intent to sell any securities that were in an unrealized loss position nor is it expected that we would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery.

The investment securities available-for-sale portfolio had net unrealized gains of $74.3 million at June 30, 2021, compared to net unrealized gains of $186.3 million at December 31, 2020. Net unrealized gains decreased from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 reflecting lower net unrealized gains on mortgage-backed, U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, and tax exempt municipal securities due to an increase in long-term interest rates.

The investment portfolio had an effective duration of 4.26 at June 30, 2021, compared to 4.08 at December 31, 2020. Effective duration measures the percentage change in value of the portfolio in response to a change in interest rates. Generally, there is more uncertainty in interest rates over a longer average maturity, resulting in a higher duration percentage. The annualized average yields on investment securities, on a taxable equivalent basis, were 2.10% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 2.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans held for immediate sale in the secondary market were $50.1 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $63.3 million at December 31, 2020. Certain mortgage loans are committed for sale at or prior to origination at a contracted price to an outside investor. Other mortgage loans held for immediate sale are hedged with TBA forward agreements and committed for sale when they are ready for delivery and remain on the Company’s balance sheet for a short period of time (typically 30 to 60 days). These loans are sold without recourse, beyond customary representations and warranties, and Old National has not experienced material losses arising from these sales. Mortgage originations are subject to volatility due to interest rates and home sales, among other factors.

We have elected the fair value option prospectively for residential loans held for sale. The aggregate fair value exceeded the unpaid principal balance by $1.9 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $3.5 million at December 31, 2020.

Commercial and Commercial Real Estate Loans

Commercial and commercial real estate loans are the largest classification within earning assets, representing 47% of earning assets at June 30, 2021, compared to 49% at December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021, commercial and commercial real estate loans were $9.990 billion, an increase of $87.3 million compared to December 31, 2020 driven by strong production in the first half of 2021, partially offset by a decline in PPP loans. As of June 30, 2021, total PPP loans were $721.1 million, compared to $943.0 million at December 31, 2020.

The following table provides detail on commercial loans by industry classification (as defined by the North American Industry Classification System) and by loan size.

Residential Real Estate Loans

At June 30, 2021, residential real estate loans held in our loan portfolio were $2.215 billion, a decrease of $33.4 million compared to December 31, 2020. Future increases in interest rates could result in a decline in the level of refinancings and new originations of residential real estate loans.

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans, including automobile loans and personal and home equity loans and lines of credit, decreased $55.8 million at June 30, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020 due to decreases in consumer indirect loans, consumer direct loans, and home equity loans.

Funding

Total funding, comprised of deposits and wholesale borrowings, was $20.428 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $714.0 million from $19.714 billion at December 31, 2020. Included in total funding were deposits of $17.869 billion at June 30, 2021, an increase of $831.5 million from $17.037 billion at December 31, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $509.1 million from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021. Interest-bearing checking and NOW deposits decreased $55.6 million from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021, while savings deposits increased $280.0 million. Money market deposits increased $218.4 million from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021. Time deposits decreased $120.4 million from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021.

We use wholesale funding to augment deposit funding and to help maintain our desired interest rate risk position. At June 30, 2021, wholesale borrowings, including federal funds purchased and interbank borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, and other borrowings, totaled $2.559 billion, a decrease of $117.4 million from December 31, 2020. Wholesale funding as a percentage of total funding was 13% at June 30, 2021 and 14% at December 31, 2020. The decrease in wholesale funding from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021 was primarily due to decreases in securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances, partially offset by an increase in other borrowings.

Capital

Shareholders’ equity totaled $2.991 billion at June 30, 2021, compared to $2.973 billion at December 31, 2020. Old National paid cash dividends of $0.28 per share in the six months ended June 30, 2021, which reduced equity by $46.4 million. The change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment securities decreased equity by $86.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Capital Adequacy

Old National and the banking industry are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. At June 30, 2021, Old National and its bank subsidiary exceeded the regulatory minimums and Old National Bank met the regulatory definition of “well-capitalized” based on the most recent regulatory definition.

Old National’s consolidated capital position remains strong as evidenced by the following comparisons of key industry ratios.


	Regulatory Guidelines Minimum		June 30,				December 31,

In December 2018, the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC approved a final rule to address changes to credit loss accounting under GAAP, including banking organizations’ implementation of CECL. The final rule provides banking organizations the option to phase in over a three-year period the day-one adverse effects on regulatory capital that may result from the adoption of the new accounting standard. In March 2020, the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC published an interim final rule to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital stemming from the implementation of CECL. The interim final rule maintains the three-year transition option in the previous rule and provides banks the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). Old National is adopting the capital transition relief over the permissible five-year period.

Management views stress testing as an integral part of the Company’s risk management and strategic planning activities. The primary objective of the stress test is to ensure that Old National has a robust, forward-looking stress testing process and maintains sufficient capital to continue operations throughout times of economic and financial stress. Management also uses the stress testing framework to evaluate decisions relating to pricing, loan concentrations, capital deployment, and mergers and acquisitions to ensure that strategic decisions align with Old National’s risk appetite statement. Old National’s stress testing process incorporates key risks that include strategic, market, liquidity, credit, operational, regulatory, compliance, legal, and reputational risks. Old National’s stress testing policy outlines steps that will be taken if stress test results do not meet internal thresholds under severely adverse economic scenarios.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview

Old National has adopted a Risk Appetite Statement to enable the Board of Directors, Executive Leadership Group, and Senior Management to better assess, understand, and mitigate the risks of Old National. The Risk Appetite Statement addresses the following major risks: strategic, market, liquidity, credit, operational/technology/cyber, regulatory/compliance/legal, reputational, and human resources. Our Chief Risk Officer is independent of

management and reports directly to the Chair of the Board’s Enterprise Risk Management Committee. The following discussion addresses these major risks: credit, market, liquidity, operational/technology/cyber, and regulatory/compliance/legal.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are committed and focused on the health and safety of our team members, clients, and communities. We will continue to evaluate and adjust our banking center hours and lobby usage as necessary depending on the path of the virus across our footprint. Our banking centers are still open for business and we continue to lend to qualified businesses for working capital and general business purposes, while our online banking network is continuously available for digital banking transactions.

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the risk of loss arising from an obligor’s inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. Our primary credit risks result from our investment and lending activities.

Investment Activities

We carry a higher exposure to loss in our pooled trust preferred securities, which are collateralized debt obligations, due to illiquidity in that market and the performance of the underlying collateral. At June 30, 2021, we had pooled trust preferred securities with a fair value of $9.4 million, or less than 1% of the available-for-sale securities portfolio. These securities remained classified as available-for-sale and at June 30, 2021, the unrealized loss on our pooled trust preferred securities was $4.4 million. The fair value of these securities is expected to improve as we get closer to maturity, but may be adversely impacted by credit deterioration.

All of our mortgage-backed securities are backed by U.S. government-sponsored or federal agencies. Municipal bonds, corporate bonds, and other debt securities are evaluated by reviewing the credit-worthiness of the issuer and general market conditions. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details about our investment security portfolio.

Counterparty Exposure

Counterparty exposure is the risk that the other party in a financial transaction will not fulfill its obligation. We define counterparty exposure as nonperformance risk in transactions involving federal funds sold and purchased, repurchase agreements, correspondent bank relationships, and derivative contracts with companies in the financial services industry. Old National manages exposure to counterparty risk in connection with its derivatives transactions by generally engaging in transactions with counterparties having ratings of at least “A” by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service or “A2” by Moody’s Investors Service. Total credit exposure is monitored by counterparty and managed within limits that management believes to be prudent. Old National’s net counterparty exposure was an asset of $227.6 million at June 30, 2021.

Lending Activities

Commercial

Commercial and industrial loans are made primarily for the purpose of financing equipment acquisition, expansion, working capital, and other general business purposes. Lease financing consists of direct financing leases and is used by commercial customers to finance capital purchases ranging from computer equipment to transportation equipment. The credit decisions for these transactions are based upon an assessment of the overall financial capacity of the applicant. A determination is made as to the applicant’s ability to repay in accordance with the proposed terms as well as an overall assessment of the risks involved. In addition to an evaluation of the applicant’s financial condition, a determination is made of the probable adequacy of the primary and secondary sources of repayment, such as additional collateral or personal guarantees, to be relied upon in the transaction. Credit agency reports of the applicant’s credit history supplement the analysis of the applicant’s creditworthiness.

Commercial mortgages and construction loans are offered to real estate investors, developers, and builders primarily domiciled in the geographic market areas we serve: Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. These loans are secured by first mortgages on real estate at LTV margins deemed appropriate for the property type, quality, location, and sponsorship. Generally, these LTV ratios do not exceed 80%. The commercial properties are predominantly non-residential properties such as retail centers, industrial properties and, to a lesser extent, more specialized properties. Substantially all of our commercial real estate loans are secured by properties located in our primary market area.

In the underwriting of our commercial real estate loans, we obtain appraisals for the underlying properties. Decisions to lend are based on the economic viability of the property and the creditworthiness of the borrower. In evaluating a proposed commercial real estate loan, we primarily emphasize the ratio of the property’s projected net cash flows to the loan’s debt service requirement. The debt service coverage ratio normally is not less than 120% and it is computed after deduction for a vacancy factor and property expenses as appropriate. In addition, a personal guarantee of the loan or a portion thereof is often required from the principal(s) of the borrower. In most cases, we require title insurance insuring the priority of our lien, fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, and flood insurance, if appropriate, in order to protect our security interest in the underlying property. In addition, business interruption insurance or other insurance may be required.

Construction loans are underwritten against projected cash flows derived from rental income, business income from an owner-occupant, or the sale of the property to an end-user. We may mitigate the risks associated with these types of loans by requiring fixed-price construction contracts, performance and payment bonding, controlled disbursements, and pre-sale contracts or pre-lease agreements.

Consumer

We offer a variety of first mortgage and junior lien loans to consumers within our markets, with residential home mortgages comprising our largest consumer loan category. These loans are secured by a primary residence and are underwritten using traditional underwriting systems to assess the credit risks of the consumer. Decisions are primarily based on LTV ratios, DTI ratios, liquidity, and credit scores. A maximum LTV ratio of 80% is generally required, although higher levels are permitted with mortgage insurance or other mitigating factors. We offer fixed rate mortgages and variable rate mortgages with interest rates that are subject to change every year after the first, third, fifth, or seventh year, depending on the product and are based on indexed rates such as prime. We do not offer payment-option facilities, sub-prime loans, or any product with negative amortization.

Home equity loans are secured primarily by second mortgages on residential property of the borrower. The underwriting terms for the home equity product generally permit borrowing availability, in the aggregate, up to 90% of the appraised value of the collateral property at the time of origination. We offer fixed and variable rate home equity loans, with variable rate loans underwritten at fully-indexed rates. Decisions are primarily based on LTV ratios, DTI ratios, and credit scores. We do not offer home equity loan products with reduced documentation.

Automobile loans include loans and leases secured by new or used automobiles. We originate automobile loans and leases primarily on an indirect basis through selected dealerships. We require borrowers to maintain collision insurance on automobiles securing consumer loans, with us listed as loss payee. Our procedures for underwriting automobile loans include an assessment of an applicant’s overall financial capacity, including credit history and the ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although an applicant’s creditworthiness is the primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral security to the proposed loan amount.

Asset Quality

Community-based lending personnel, along with region-based independent underwriting and analytic support staff, extend credit under guidelines established and administered by our Enterprise Risk Committee. This committee, which meets quarterly, is made up of independent outside directors. The committee monitors credit quality through its review of information such as delinquencies, credit exposures, peer comparisons, problem loans, and charge-offs. In addition, the committee reviews and approves recommended loan policy changes to assure our policy remains appropriate for the current lending environment.

We lend to commercial and commercial real estate clients in various industries including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling, and retailing. Old National manages concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, customer relationship, and loan size. At June 30, 2021, our average commercial loan size was approximately $260,000 and our average commercial real estate loan size was approximately $890,000. In addition, while loans to lessors of both residential and non-residential real estate exceed 10% of total loans, no individual sub-segment category within those broader categories reaches the 10% threshold. At June 30, 2021, we had minimal exposure to foreign borrowers and no sovereign debt. Our policy is to concentrate our lending activity in the geographic market areas we serve, primarily Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. We have experienced an adverse impact from COVID-19 during 2020 and during the first half of 2021; however, the depth of this crisis is ongoing and its effect is very broad-based. Management believes that trends in under-performing, criticized, and classified loans will be highly dependent on the distribution

of vaccinations, as well as the length of time it will take consumers to return to their pre-pandemic spending routines.

The following table presents a summary of under-performing, criticized, and classified assets:

Under-performing assets totaled $143.0 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $144.7 million at June 30, 2020 and $166.6 million at December 31, 2020. Under-performing assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate owned at June 30, 2021 were 1.04%, a 2 basis point improvement from 1.06% at June 30, 2020 and a 17 basis point improvement from 1.21% at December 31, 2020.

Nonaccrual loans decreased from December 31, 2020 primarily due to decreases in commercial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate nonaccrual loans. As a percentage of nonaccrual loans, the allowance was 85.32% at June 30, 2021, compared to 102.27% at June 30, 2020 and 89.17% at December 31, 2020.

Total criticized and classified assets were $521.8 million at June 30, 2021, a decrease of $19.8 million from June 30, 2020, and a decrease of $73.8 million from December 31, 2020. Other classified assets include investment securities that fell below investment grade rating totaling $4.3 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2020 and $3.7 million at December 31, 2020.

Any loans that are modified are reviewed by Old National to identify if a TDR has occurred, which is when, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, Old National Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status. The modification of the terms of such loans includes one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate of new debt with similar risk, or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment of the loan.

Loans modified in a TDR are typically placed on nonaccrual status until we determine that the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms for six months.

When a residential or consumer loan is identified as a TDR, the loan is typically written down to its collateral value less selling costs.

At June 30, 2021, TDRs consisted of $8.3 million of commercial loans, $16.0 million of commercial real estate loans, $0.1 million of BBCC loans, $2.5 of residential real estate loans, $0.7 million of direct consumer loans, and $0.2 million of home equity loans totaling $27.8 million. TDRs included within nonaccrual loans totaled $13.6 million at June 30, 2021. At December 31, 2020, TDRs consisted of $11.1 million of commercial loans, $17.6 million of commercial real estate loans, $0.1 million of BBCC loans, $2.8 million of residential real estate loans, $0.8 million of direct consumer loans, and $0.3 million of home equity loans, totaling $32.7 million. TDRs included within nonaccrual loans totaled $14.9 million at December 31, 2020.

Old National has allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified as TDRs totaling $1.0 million at June 30, 2021 and $1.6 million of December 31, 2020. At June 30, 2021, Old National had committed to lend an additional $0.9 million to customers with outstanding loans that were classified as TDRs. At December 31, 2020, Old National had not committed to lend any additional funds to customers with outstanding loans that were classified as TDRs.

We have developed relief programs to assist borrowers in financial need due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Interagency Statement issued by our banking regulators encourages financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations due to the effects of COVID-19. Additionally, Section 4013 of the CARES Act further provides that a qualified loan modification is exempt by law from classification as a TDR as defined by GAAP, from the period beginning March 1, 2020 until the earlier of December 31, 2020 or the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the COVID-19 outbreak declared by the President of the United States under the National Emergencies Act terminates. The Interagency Statement was subsequently revised in April 2020 to clarify the interaction of the original guidance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as well as setting forth the banking regulators’ views on consumer protection considerations. Additionally, section 541 of the CAA extended the relief provided by the CARES Act for financial institutions to suspend the GAAP accounting treatment for troubled debt restructuring to January 1, 2022. In accordance with such guidance, we are offering short-term modifications made in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who are current and otherwise not past due. These include short-term (180 days or less) modifications in the form of payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. The table below presents these loan deferrals by loan category:


	December 31, 2020		June 30, 2021

U.S. Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program

Section 1102 of the CARES Act created the PPP, a program administered by the SBA to provide loans to small businesses for payroll and other basic expenses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Old National has participated in the PPP as a lender. These loans are eligible to be forgiven if certain conditions are satisfied and are fully guaranteed by the SBA. Additionally, loan payments will also be deferred for the first six months of the loan term. The PPP commenced on April 3, 2020 and was available to qualified borrowers through August 8, 2020. No collateral or personal guarantees are required. Neither the government nor lenders are permitted to charge the recipients any fees. During 2020, Old National originated over 9,700 loans with balances in excess of $1.5 billion to new and existing customers through the PPP. As of June 30, 2021, we have received payment from the SBA on 8,170, or 83%, of these loans totaling $1.3 billion.

On December 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CAA. The CAA, among other things, extends the life of the PPP, effectively creating a second round of PPP loans for eligible businesses. Old National has participated in the CAA’s second round of PPP lending. In mid-January we opened our lending portal and began processing PPP loan applications. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Old National originated approximately 6,200 loans totaling $583.7 million through the second round of the PPP. As of June 30, 2021, we have received payment from the SBA on 1,112, or 18%, of second round PPP loans totaling $64.1 million.

At June 30, 2021, remaining PPP loans totaled $721.1 million.

To the extent the PPP loans are forgiven, this represents outside equity contributions to our borrowers; and, especially with respect to vulnerable industries, we believe these capital injections are going to be instrumental in assisting our borrowers in navigating through the pandemic. This capital injection, along with the level of capital each borrower had just prior to COVID-19 impacting them, are critical factors in determining the staying power of our borrowers. Upon receipt of interim financial results from our borrowers, we will use that information to update our understanding of the underlying strengths or weaknesses in each individual relationship and take actions, as appropriate.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments

Net recoveries on loans totaled $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $0.5 million of net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Annualized, net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans were (0.01)% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 0.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net recoveries on loans totaled $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $7.1

million of net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Annualized, net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans were 0.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 0.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Management will continue its efforts to reduce the level of non-performing loans and may consider the possibility of sales of troubled and non-performing loans, which could result in additional charge-offs to the allowance for credit losses on loans.

Credit quality within the loans held for investment portfolio is continuously monitored by management and is reflected within the allowance for credit losses for loans. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of expected losses inherent within the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio. Credit quality is assessed and monitored by evaluating various attributes and the results of those evaluations are utilized in underwriting new loans and in our process for estimating expected credit losses. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancelable off-balance-sheet credit exposures is accounted for as a separate liability included in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment is adjusted by a credit loss expense, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

The allowance for credit loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of our loan portfolio segments. These segments are further disaggregated into loan classes based on the level at which credit risk of the loan is monitored. When computing the level of expected credit losses, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history, delinquency status, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and credit loss expense in those future periods.

The allowance for credit losses for loans was $109.4 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $131.4 million at December 31, 2020. Continued loan growth in future periods, a decline in our current level of recoveries, or an increase in charge-offs could result in an increase in provision expense. Additionally, with the adoption of CECL beginning on January 1, 2020, provision expense may become more volatile due to changes in CECL model assumptions of credit quality, macroeconomic factors and conditions, and loan composition, which drive the allowance for credit losses balance.

We maintain an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commercial lending commitments and letters of credit to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for credit losses for loans, modified to take into account the probability of a drawdown on the commitment. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is classified as a liability account on the balance sheet within accrued expenses and other liabilities, while the corresponding provision for these credit losses is recorded as a component of other expense. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments totaled $10.4 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $11.7 million at December 31, 2020.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the estimated fair value of our assets, liabilities, and derivative financial instruments will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility, or that our net income will be significantly reduced by interest rate changes.

The objective of our interest rate management process is to maximize net interest income while operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintaining adequate levels of funding and liquidity.

Potential cash flows, sales, or replacement value of many of our assets and liabilities, especially those that earn or pay interest, are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. This interest rate risk arises primarily from our normal business activities of gathering deposits and extending loans. Many factors affect our exposure to changes in interest rates, such as general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences, historical pricing relationships, and re-pricing characteristics of financial instruments. Our earnings can also be affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve.

In managing interest rate risk, we, through our Funds Management Committee, a committee of the Board of Directors, establish guidelines, for asset and liability management, including measurement of short and long-term sensitivities to changes in interest rates. Based on the results of our analysis, we may use different techniques to manage changing trends in interest rates including:

•adjusting balance sheet mix or altering interest rate characteristics of assets and liabilities;

•changing product pricing strategies;

•modifying characteristics of the investment securities portfolio; or

•using derivative financial instruments, to a limited degree.

A key element in our ongoing process is to measure and monitor interest rate risk using a model to quantify the likely impact of changing interest rates on Old National’s results of operations. The model quantifies the effects of various possible interest rate scenarios on projected net interest income. The model measures the impact on net interest income relative to a base case scenario. The base case scenario assumes that the balance sheet and interest rates are held at current levels. Interest rates are floored at 0.00% in the down 50 basis points scenario. The model shows our projected net interest income sensitivity based on interest rate changes only and does not consider other forecast assumptions.

The following table illustrates our projected net interest income sensitivity over a two year cumulative horizon based on the asset/liability model at June 30, 2021 and 2020:

% change from base	(2.54)		%			4.10		%	6.89		%	8.66		%

Our asset sensitivity increased year over year primarily due to deposit pricing actions and changes in our hedging strategies, balance sheet mix, investment duration, and prepayment speed behavior.

A key element in the measurement and modeling of interest rate risk is the re-pricing assumptions of our transaction deposit accounts, which have no contractual maturity dates. Because the models are driven by expected behavior in various interest rate scenarios and many factors besides market interest rates affect our net interest income, we recognize that model outputs are not guarantees of actual results. For this reason, we model many different combinations of interest rates and balance sheet assumptions to understand our overall sensitivity to market interest rate changes, including shocks, ramps, yield curve flattening, yield curve steepening, as well as forecasts of likely interest rate scenarios tested. At June 30, 2021, our projected net interest income sensitivity based on the asset/liability models we utilize was within the limits of our interest rate risk policy for the scenarios tested.

We use cash flow and fair value hedges, primarily interest rate swaps, collars, and floors, to mitigate interest rate risk. Derivatives designated as hedging instruments were in a net asset position with a fair value of $13.3 million at June 30, 2021, compared to a net asset position with a fair value of $15.2 million at December 31, 2020. See Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of derivative financial instruments.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that we may not be able to satisfy current or future financial commitments, or may become unduly reliant on alternative funding sources. The Funds Management Committee of the Board of

Directors establishes liquidity risk guidelines and, along with the Balance Sheet Management Committee, monitors liquidity risk. The objective of liquidity management is to ensure we have the ability to fund balance sheet growth and meet deposit and debt obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner. Management monitors liquidity through a regular review of asset and liability maturities, funding sources, and loan and deposit forecasts. We maintain strategic and contingency liquidity plans to ensure sufficient available funding to satisfy requirements for balance sheet growth, properly manage capital markets’ funding sources and to address unexpected liquidity requirements. On June 5, 2020, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC that permits us to issue an unspecified amount of debt or equity securities.

Loan repayments and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, deposit flows, calls of investment securities and prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, the housing market, general and local economic conditions, and competition in the marketplace. We continually monitor marketplace trends to identify patterns that might improve the predictability of the timing of deposit flows or asset prepayments.

A maturity schedule for Old National Bank’s time deposits is shown in the following table at June 30, 2021.

Our ability to acquire funding at competitive prices is influenced by rating agencies’ views of our credit quality, liquidity, capital, and earnings. Moody’s Investors Service places us in an investment grade that indicates a low risk of default. For both Old National and Old National Bank:

•Moody’s Investors Service affirmed the Long-Term Rating of “A3” for Old National’s senior unsecured/issuer rating on February 17, 2021.

•Moody’s Investors Service affirmed Old National Bank’s long-term deposit rating of “Aa3” on February 17, 2021. The bank’s short-term deposit rating was affirmed at “P-1” and the bank’s issuer rating was affirmed at “A3.”

Moody’s Investors Service concluded a rating review of Old National Bank on February 17, 2021. The rating outlook from Moody’s Investors Service was moved from “Stable” to “Ratings Under Review” on June 2, 2021 due to the merger announced June 1, 2021.

The credit ratings of Old National and Old National Bank at June 30, 2021 are shown in the following table.


	Moody's Investors Service

* Based on collateral pledged

Old National Bancorp has routine funding requirements consisting primarily of operating expenses, dividends to shareholders, debt service, net derivative cash flows, and funds used for acquisitions. Old National Bancorp can obtain funding to meet its obligations from dividends and management fees collected from its subsidiaries, operating line of credit, and through the issuance of debt securities. Additionally, Old National Bancorp has a shelf registration in place with the SEC permitting ready access to the public debt and equity markets. At June 30, 2021, Old National Bancorp’s other borrowings outstanding were $213.4 million. Management believes the Company has the ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of liquidity to meet its requirements in the short-term and the long-term.

Federal banking laws regulate the amount of dividends that may be paid by banking subsidiaries without prior approval. Prior regulatory approval is required if dividends to be declared in any year would exceed net earnings of the current year plus retained net profits for the preceding two years. Prior regulatory approval to pay dividends was not required in 2020 and is not currently required.

Operational/Technology/Cyber Risk

Operational/technology/cyber risk is the danger that inadequate information systems, operational problems, breaches in internal controls, information security breaches, fraud, or unforeseen catastrophes will result in unexpected losses and other adverse impacts to Old National, such as reputational harm. We maintain frameworks, programs, and internal controls to prevent or minimize financial loss from failure of systems, people, or processes. This includes specific programs and frameworks intended to prevent or limit the effects of cyber risks including cyber-attacks or other information security breaches that might allow unauthorized transactions or unauthorized access to customer, associate, or company sensitive information. Metrics and measurements are used by our management team in the management of day-to-day operations to ensure effective customer service, minimization of service disruptions, and oversight of operational and cyber risk. We continually monitor and report on operational, technology, and cyber risks related to clients, products, and business practices; external and internal fraud; business disruptions and systems failures; cyber-attacks, information security or data breaches; damage to physical assets; and execution, delivery, and process management.

The Enterprise Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight, guidance, and monitoring of risks, including operational/technology/cyber risks, being taken by the Company. The monitoring is accomplished through ongoing review of management reports, data on risks and policy limits, and consistent discussion on enterprise risk management strategies, policies, and risk assessments.

Regulatory/Compliance/Legal Risk

Regulatory/compliance/legal risk is the risk that the Company violated or was not in compliance with applicable laws, regulations or practices, industry standards, or ethical standards. The legal portion assesses the risk that unenforceable contracts, lawsuits, or adverse judgments can disrupt or otherwise negatively impact the Company. The Board of Directors expects we will perform business in a manner compliant with applicable laws and/or regulations and expects issues to be identified, analyzed, and remediated in a timely and complete manner.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Off-balance sheet arrangements include commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees. Commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees are used to meet the financial needs of our customers. Our banking affiliates have entered into various agreements to extend credit, including loan commitments of $4.151 billion and standby letters of credit of $72.0 million at June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, approximately $3.901 billion of the loan commitments had fixed rates and $250.4 million had floating rates, with the floating rates ranging from 0% to 14%. At December 31, 2020, loan commitments were $3.720 billion and standby letters of credit were $86.9 million. The term of these off-balance sheet arrangements is typically one year or less.

Old National is a party in risk participation transactions of interest rate swaps, which had total notional amount of $74.8 million at June 30, 2021.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

The following table presents our significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations at June 30, 2021:

(1)For the remaining six months of fiscal 2021.

(2)Our senior notes, subordinated notes, certain trust preferred securities, and certain FHLB advances have fixed rates ranging from 0.45% to 4.96%. All of our other long-term debt is at LIBOR based variable rates at June 30, 2021. The projected variable interest assumes no increase in LIBOR rates from June 30, 2021.

(3)Includes unfunded commitments on qualified affordable housing projects and other tax credit investments.

We rent certain premises and equipment under operating leases. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on long-term lease arrangements.

We are party to various derivative contracts as a means to manage the balance sheet and our related exposure to changes in interest rates, to manage our residential real estate loan origination and sale activity, and to provide derivative contracts to our clients. Since the derivative liabilities recorded on the balance sheet change frequently and do not represent the amounts that may ultimately be paid under these contracts, these liabilities are not included in the table of contractual obligations presented above. Further discussion of derivative instruments is included in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements.

In the normal course of business, various legal actions and proceedings are pending against us and our affiliates which are incidental to the business in which they are engaged. Further discussion of contingent liabilities is included in Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.

In addition, liabilities recorded under FASB ASC 740-10 (FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109) are not included in the table because the amount and timing of any cash payments cannot be reasonably estimated. Further discussion of income taxes and liabilities is included in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain accounting policies require management to use significant judgment and estimates, which can have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgment and assumptions made are based upon historical experience, future forecasts, or other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgment and assumptions, actual results could differ from estimates, which could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The following accounting policies materially affect our reported earnings and financial condition and require significant judgments and estimates. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with our Audit Committee.

Goodwill

•Description. For acquisitions, we are required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets such as goodwill, and the liabilities assumed at their fair value. These often involve estimates based on third party valuations, such as appraisals, or internal valuations based on discounted cash flow analyses or other valuation techniques that may include estimates of attrition, inflation, asset growth rates, or other relevant factors. The carrying value of goodwill recorded must be reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, as well as on an interim basis if events or changes indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss must be recognized for any excess of carrying value over fair value of the goodwill.

•Judgments and Uncertainties. The determination of fair values is based on valuations using management’s assumptions of future growth rates, future attrition, discount rates, multiples of earnings or other relevant factors.

•Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions. Changes in these factors, as well as downturns in economic or business conditions, could have a significant adverse impact on the carrying value of goodwill and could result in impairment losses affecting our financial statements as a whole and our banking subsidiary in which the goodwill resides.

•Pandemic. A prolonged COVID-19 outbreak, or any other epidemic that harms the global economy, U.S. economy, or the economies in which we operate could adversely affect our operations. Based on the required annual impairment test as of August 31, 2020, we have concluded that our goodwill was not impaired. On a quarterly basis, we will continue to evaluate our qualitative assessment assumptions, which are subject to risks and uncertainties, including: (1) forecasted revenues, expenses, and cash flows; (2) current discount rates; (3) our market capitalization; (4) observable market transactions and multiples; (5) changes to the regulatory environment; and (6) the nature and amount of government support that has been and is expected to be provided in the future. A prolonged economic downturn or deterioration in the economic outlook may lead management to conclude that an interim quantitative impairment test of our goodwill is required prior to the annual impairment test conducted on August 31.

Allowance for Credit Losses for Loans

•Description. The allowance for credit losses for loans represents management’s estimate of all expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of our loan portfolio. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then-existing loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods.

The allowance for credit losses for loans, as reported in our consolidated statements of financial condition, is adjusted by an expense for credit losses, which is recognized in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries.

•Judgments and Uncertainties. We utilize a discounted cashflow approach to determine the allowance for credit losses for performing loans and nonperforming loans. Expected cashflows are created for each loan and discounted using the effective yield. The discounted sum of expected cashflows is then compared to the amortized cost and any shortfall is recorded as reserve. Expected cashflows are created using a combination

of contractual payment schedules, calculated PDs, LGD and prepayment assumptions as well as qualitative factors. For the commercial and commercial real estate loans, the PD is forecast using a regression model to determine the likelihood of a loan moving into nonaccrual within the time horizon. For residential and consumer loans, the PD is forecast using a regression model to determine the likelihood of a loan being charged-off within the time horizon. The regression models use combinations of variables to assess systematic and unsystematic risk. Variables used for unsystematic risk are borrower specific and help to gauge the risk of default from an individual borrower. Variables for systematic risk, risk inherent to all borrowers, come from the use of forward-looking economic forecasts and include variables such as unemployment rate, gross domestic product, and house price index. The LGD is defined as credit loss incurred when an obligor of the bank defaults. Qualitative factors include items such as changes in lending policies or procedures and economic uncertainty in forward-looking forecasts.

•Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions. The allowance represents management’s best estimate, but significant downturns in circumstances relating to loan quality and economic conditions could result in a requirement for additional allowance. Likewise, an upturn in loan quality and improved economic conditions may allow a reduction in the required allowance. In either instance, unanticipated changes could have a significant impact on results of operations.

The expense for credit loss recorded through earnings is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the amount of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio. The amount of expense and the corresponding level of allowance for credit losses for loans are based on our evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other significant qualitative and quantitative factors.

Derivative Financial Instruments

•Description. As part of our overall interest rate risk management, we use derivative instruments to reduce exposure to changes in interest rates and market prices for financial instruments. The application of the hedge accounting policy requires judgment in the assessment of hedge effectiveness, identification of similar hedged item groupings and measurement of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments and hedged items. To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, changes in fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item or recorded to other comprehensive income. Management believes hedge effectiveness is evaluated properly in preparation of the financial statements. All of the derivative financial instruments we use have an active market and indications of fair value can be readily obtained. We are not using the “short-cut” method of accounting for any fair value derivatives.

•Judgments and Uncertainties. The application of the hedge accounting policy requires judgment in the assessment of hedge effectiveness, identification of similar hedged item groupings and measurement of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments and hedged items.

•Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions. To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, changes in fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item or recorded to other comprehensive income. However, if in the future the derivative financial instruments used by us no longer qualify for hedge accounting treatment, all changes in fair value of the derivative would flow through the consolidated statements of income in other noninterest income, resulting in greater volatility in our earnings.

Income Taxes

•Description. We are subject to the income tax laws of the U.S., its states, and the municipalities in which we operate. These tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant government taxing authorities. We review income tax expense and the carrying value of deferred tax assets quarterly; and as new information becomes available, the balances are adjusted as appropriate. FASB ASC 740-10 (FIN 48) prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not, and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. See Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for a further description of our provision and related income tax assets and liabilities.

•Judgments and Uncertainties. In establishing a provision for income tax expense, we must make judgments and interpretations about the application of these inherently complex tax laws. We must also make estimates about when in the future certain items will affect taxable income in the various tax jurisdictions. Disputes over interpretations of the tax laws may be subject to review/adjudication by the court systems of the various tax jurisdictions or may be settled with the taxing authority upon examination or audit.

•Effect if Actual Results Differ From Assumptions. Although management believes that the judgments and estimates used are reasonable, actual results could differ and we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material. To the extent we prevail in matters for which reserves have been established, or are required to pay amounts in excess of our reserves, our effective income tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would result in an increase in our effective income tax rate in the period of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would result in a reduction in our effective income tax rate in the period of resolution.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee and the Audit Committee has reviewed our disclosure relating to it in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Old National’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that Old National’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), based on their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, are effective at the reasonable assurance level as discussed below to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Old National in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Old National’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that Old National’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be only reasonable assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, the system of controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in Old National’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Old National’s internal control over financial reporting.
