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 subsidiaries (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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. 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, 2021.
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.
There have been no material changes from the significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2022
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. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASC 842 – In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments, to amend the lease classification requirements for lessors to align them with practice under ASC Topic 840. Lessors should classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met: (1) The lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease in accordance with the classification criteria in ASC paragraphs 842-10-25-2 through 25-3; and (2) The lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. When a lease is classified as operating, the lessor does not recognize a net investment in the lease, does not derecognize the underlying asset, and, therefore, does not recognize a selling profit or loss. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2022 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
10
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 March 31, 2022 through December 31, 2022 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Guidance Pending Adoption
FASB ASC 805 – In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities From Contracts With Customers, to address diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the accounting for revenue contracts with customers acquired in a business combination. The amendments require that the acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The ASU also provides certain practical expedients for acquirers when recognizing and measuring acquired contract assets and contract liabilities from revenue contracts in a business combination and applies to contract assets and contract liabilities from other contracts to which the provisions of Topic 606 apply. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, including in any interim period, for public business entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued, and for all other entities for periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The new guidance will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASC 815 – In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method, to expand the current single-layer method of electing hedge accounting to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio under the method. To reflect that expansion, the last-of-layer method is renamed the portfolio layer method. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of ASU No. 2022-01 for any entity that has adopted the amendments in ASU No.
11
2017-12 for the corresponding period. If an entity adopts the amendments in an interim period, the effect of adopting the amendments related to basis adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption (i.e., the initial application date). Old National is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
FASB ASC 326 – In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, to eliminate the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, require that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments also enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For public business entities, these amendments require that an entity disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Gross charge-off information must be included in the vintage disclosures required for public business entities in accordance with paragraph 326-20-50-6, which requires that an entity disclose the amortized cost basis of financing receivables by credit quality indicator and class of financing receivable by year of origination. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. These amendments should be applied prospectively, except for the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, which an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted if an entity has adopted ASU No. 2016-13, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity elects to early adopt ASU No. 2022-02 in an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. An entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. Old National is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
Merger
First Midwest Bancorp, Inc.
On February 15, 2022, Old National completed its previously announced merger of equals transaction with First Midwest pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 30, 2021, to combine in an all-stock transaction. Following the merger, the new organization is operating under the Old National Bancorp and Old National Bank names, with headquarters and the principal office located in Evansville, Indiana and commercial and consumer banking operations headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Old National believes that it will be able to achieve synergies and cost savings by integrating the operations of the companies. The combined organization has a presence in additional Midwestern markets, strong commercial banking capabilities, a robust retail footprint, and a significant wealth platform. The combined organization also creates the scale and profitability to accelerate digital and technology capabilities to drive future investments in consumer and commercial banking, as well as wealth management, services.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, each First Midwest common stockholder received 1.1336 shares of Old National common stock for each share of First Midwest common stock such stockholder owned, plus, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Old National common stock. Each outstanding share of 7.000% fixed-rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series A, no par value, and each outstanding share of 7.000% fixed-rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, Series C, no par value, of First Midwest was converted into the right to receive one share of an applicable newly created series of Old National preferred stock, no par value, having terms that are not materially less favorable than the applicable series of outstanding First Midwest preferred stock (respectively, “Old National Series A Preferred Stock” and “Old National Series C Preferred Stock,” and collectively, the “Old National Preferred Stock”). In this regard, Old National issued 108,000 shares of Old National Series A Preferred Stock and 122,500 shares of Old National Series C Preferred Stock. Old National entered into two deposit agreements, each dated as of February 15, 2022, by and among Old National, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as depository, and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts in connection with the issuance of the Old National Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the deposit agreements, Old National issued 4,320,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Old National Series A Preferred Stock, and 4,900,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Old National Series C Preferred Stock.

Other intangible assets acquired included core deposit intangibles and customer trust relationships. The estimated fair value of the core deposit intangible was $77.9 million and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years. The estimated fair value of customer trust relationships was $39.7 million and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 13 years.
The fair value of purchased financial assets with credit deterioration was $1,401 billion on the date of merger. The gross contractual amounts receivable relating to the purchased financial assets with credit deterioration was $1,488 billion. Old National estimates, on the date of the merger, that $78.5 million of the contractual cash flows specific to the purchased financial assets with credit deterioration will not be collected.
Transaction costs totaling $41.3 million associated with the merger have been expensed for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and additional transaction and integration costs will be expensed in future periods as incurred.
As a result of the merger, Old National assumed sponsorship of First Midwest’s defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) under which benefit accruals had been previously frozen. Subsequent to the close of the merger, Old National began taking the steps required to terminate the Pension Plan. At March 31, 2022, the accumulated benefit obligation was $60.2 million and the fair value of Pension Plan assets was $77.2 million. Pension costs were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

(1) Includes net interest income and total noninterest income.
Supplemental pro-forma earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were adjusted to exclude $41.3 million of merger-related costs, $11.0 million of provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, and $96.3 million of provision for credit losses to establish an allowance for credit losses on non-PCD loans acquired in the transaction. Supplemental pro-forma earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were adjusted to include these costs.
NOTE 4 – NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are calculated using the two-class method. Net income (loss) applicable to common shares 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 (loss) applicable to common shares is then divided by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents during the period.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:

(1) Basis adjustments represent the cumulative fair value adjustments included in the carrying amounts of fixed-rate investment securities assets in fair value hedging arrangements.
On March 1, 2022, U.S government-sponsored entities and agencies, agency mortgage-backed securities, and state and political subdivision securities with a fair value of $2.039 billion were transferred from the available-for-sale portfolio to the held-to-maturity portfolio. The $17.0 million unrealized holding loss, net of tax, at the date of transfer will continue to be reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and is being amortized over the remaining term of the securities as an adjustment to yield. The corresponding discount on these securities will offset this adjustment to yield as it is amortized.

The unrecognized losses on held-to-maturity investment securities presented in the table above include unrecognized losses on securities that were transferred from available-for-sale to held-for-maturity totaling $22.2 million at March 31, 2022.
Available-for-sale securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated at least quarterly to determine if a decline in fair value should be recorded through income or other comprehensive income. For available-for sale 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 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
17
value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. Any decline in fair value 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 securities was needed at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and totaled $38.6 million at March 31, 2022 and $35.5 million at December 31, 2021.
An allowance on held-to-maturity debt securities is maintained for certain municipal bonds to account for expected lifetime credit losses. Substantially all of 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. The allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities was $0.2 million at March 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2022, Old National’s securities portfolio consisted of 3,272 securities, 2,383 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 and temporary market movements. Old National’s pooled trust preferred securities are evaluated using collateral-specific assumptions to estimate the expected future interest and principal cash flows. At March 31, 2022, 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.
Old National’s 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. Old National did not recognize any losses on these securities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021.
Equity Securities
Old National’s equity securities with readily determinable fair values totaled $67.6 million at March 31, 2022 and $13.2 million at December 31, 2021. There were losses on equity securities of $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to gains of $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Alternative Investments
Old National has alternative investments without readily determinable fair values that are included in other assets totaling $240.5 million at March 31, 2022, consisting of $120.5 million of illiquid investments of partnerships, limited liability companies, and other ownership interests that support affordable housing and $120.0 million of economic development and community revitalization initiatives in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods. These alternative investments totaled $186.0 million at December 31, 2021. There have been no impairments or adjustments on equity securities without readily determinable fair values, except for amortization of tax credit investments in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. See Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for detail regarding these investments.
NOTE 6 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Loans
Old National’s loans consist primarily of loans made to consumers and commercial clients in many diverse industries, including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling, and retailing. Most of Old National’s lending activity occurs within our principal geographic markets of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Old National manages concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, client relationship, and loan size.
18
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 – commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer – 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 portfolio segment reclassifications follow:

19
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 clients.
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 236%, 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 March 31, 2022.
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
20
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 $96.2 million at March 31, 2022 and $47.6 million at December 31, 2021.
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.
21
The allowance for credit losses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to $78.5 million of allowance for credit losses on acquired PCD loans established through acquisition accounting adjustments on the merger date. In addition, $96.3 million of provision for credit losses to establish an allowance for credit losses on non-PCD loans acquired in the First Midwest merger contributed to the increase. The forecast scenario includes improved unemployment 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, supply chain issues, and inflation. The mitigating impact of the economy remaining open was also considered. Old National’s activity in the allowance for credit losses for loans by portfolio segment was as follows:

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 within accrued expenses and other liabilities, while the corresponding provision for these credit losses is recorded as a component of other expense. Old National’s activity in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was as follows:

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:

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.

At March 31, 2022, these loans totaled $2.520 billion, of which $1.328 billion had been sold to other financial institutions and $1.192 billion 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.
28
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 allocation 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 allocation 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, the allowance allocation is recalculated and 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.

TDRs included within nonaccrual loans totaled $23.8 million at March 31, 2022 and $11.7 million at December 31, 2021. Old National has established specific allowances for credit losses for clients whose loan terms have been modified as TDRs totaling $6.2 million at March 31, 2022 and $0.7 million at December 31, 2021. Old National had not committed to lend any additional funds to clients with outstanding loans that were classified as TDRs at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
The pre-modification and post-modification outstanding recorded investments of loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 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 three months ended March 31, 2021.
The TDRs that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased the allowance for credit losses by $5.5 million and resulted in no charge-offs. The TDRs that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021 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.
29
TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification were insignificant during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
The terms of certain other loans were modified during 2022 and 2021 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 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.

Finance Leases
Old National leases certain banking center buildings and equipment under finance leases that are included in premises and equipment. See Notes 8 and 14 to the consolidated financial statements for detail regarding these leases.
NOTE 8 – 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.

Senior Notes
In August 2014, Old National issued $175.0 million of senior unsecured notes with a 4.125% interest rate. These notes pay interest on February 15 and August 15 and mature on August 15, 2024.
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.
The following table summarizes the terms of our outstanding junior subordinated debentures at March 31, 2022:

Subordinated Debentures
On November 1, 2017, Old National assumed $12.0 million of subordinated fixed-to-floating notes related to the acquisition of Anchor (MN). The subordinated debentures had a 5.75% fixed rate of interest through October 29, 2020. From October 30, 2020 to the October 30, 2025 maturity date, the debentures have a floating rate of interest equal to the three-month LIBOR rate plus 4.356%.
37

NOTE 16 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
At March 31, 2022, Old National had 88,000 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 0.9 million time-based restricted stock awards to certain key employees during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Shares generally vest annually over a three year period, cliff vest in three years from the grant date, or vest 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date and 50% on the third anniversary of the grant date. At March 31, 2022, unvested shares totaled 2.1 million. Compensation expense is measured as the fair value of the award at grant date recognized over the service period of the award. Shares are subject to certain restrictions and risk of forfeiture by the participants. At March 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense for unvested restricted stock awards was $28.5 million.
Old National recorded share-based compensation expense, net of tax, related to restricted stock awards of $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to restricted stock awards granted to eligible former First Midwest employees who are now Old National employees.
Restricted Stock Units
Old National granted 1.2 million shares of performance based restricted stock units to certain key officers during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Shares vest at the end of a 24 or 36 month period based on the achievement of certain targets. If targets are achieved prior to the end of the 24 month performance period, vesting can be accelerated. At March 31, 2022, unvested shares totaled 2.1 million. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the performance period of the award. For certain awards, the level of performance could increase or decrease the number of shares earned. Shares are subject to certain restrictions and risk of forfeiture by
39
the participants. As of March 31, 2022, there was $26.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units.
Old National recorded share-based compensation expense, net of tax, related to restricted stock units of $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
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 its prior acquisitions. Old National recorded no incremental expense associated with the conversion of these options and stock appreciation rights. At March 31, 2022, 8 thousand stock appreciation rights remained outstanding.
NOTE 17 – 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 March 31, | |||||||||||
| (dollars in thousands) | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||
Provision at statutory rate of 21% | $ | (7,623) | $ | 21,934 | |||||||

| Income tax expense (benefit) | $ | (8,714) | $ | 17,630 | |||||||
| Effective tax rate | 24.0 | % | 16.9 | % | |||||||
The provision for income taxes was recorded at March 31, 2022 and 2021 based on the current estimate of the effective annual rate.
Based on the current estimate of the combined entity annual effective rate, the higher effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflected higher post-merger estimated state effective tax rates. An additional benefit of $1.2 million related to share-based payments and a one-time benefit of $0.9 million due to the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred taxes post-merger both increased the effective tax rate for the quarter since the Company reflected a pretax loss, but are expected to reduce the overall full-year tax rate once the Company is in a pretax income position.

The Company’s retained earnings at March 31, 2022 included an appropriation for acquired thrifts’ tax bad debt allowances totaling $58.6 million for which no provision for federal or state income taxes has been made. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings were distributed as a result of the liquidation of the Company or its subsidiaries, federal and state income taxes would be imposed at the then applicable rates.
No valuation allowance was recorded at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021 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 $153.3 million at March 31, 2022 and $36.7 million at December 31, 2021. This federal net operating loss was acquired from the acquisition of Anchor (WI) in 2016 and First Midwest in 2022. If not used, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2029 to 2039. Old National has recorded state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $169.5 million at March 31, 2022 and $116.1 million at December 31, 2021. If not used, the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2027 to 2052.
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 federal and recorded state net operating loss carryforwards will be used prior to expiration.
NOTE 18 – 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.
41
Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Old National’s exposure is limited to the termination 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 Designated as Hedges
Subsequent changes in fair value for a hedging instrument that has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship are 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 both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Interest rate collars and floors related to variable-rate commercial loan pools were designated as cash flow hedges totaling $500.0 million notional amount at March 31, 2022 and $600.0 million notional amount at December 31, 2021. 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 $377.5 million notional amount at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Interest rate swaps of certain available-for-sale investment securities were designated as fair value hedges totaling $910.0 million notional amount at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The hedges were determined to be effective during all periods presented and we expect them to remain effective during the remaining terms.

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 $3.2 million will be reclassified to interest income and $0.4 million will be reclassified to interest expense.
43
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
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 March 31, 2022, the notional amounts of the interest rate lock commitments were $114.8 million and forward commitments were $114.5 million. At December 31, 2021, the notional amounts of the interest rate lock commitments were $90.7 million and forward commitments were $126.1 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 clients. The notional amounts of these customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $4.802 billion at March 31, 2022. The notional amounts of these customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $2.433 billion at December 31, 2021. 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 clients 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 clients. Old National does not designate these foreign currency forward contracts for hedge accounting treatment.

NOTE 19 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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 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 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 $7.991 billion and standby letters of credit of $221.1 million at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, approximately 10% of the loan commitments had fixed rates, with the remainder having floating rates ranging from 0.174% to 21%. At December 31, 2021, loan commitments totaled $4.489 billion and standby letters of credit totaled $75.7 million. These commitments are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The allowance for unfunded loan commitments totaled $22.0 million at March 31, 2022 and $10.9 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022.
Old National had credit extensions with various unaffiliated banks related to letter of credit commitments issued on behalf of Old National’s clients totaling $6.7 million at March 31, 2022 and $21.8 million December 31, 2021. Old National provided collateral to the unaffiliated banks to secure credit extensions totaling $6.5 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. 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 March 31, 2022, the conversion ratio was 1.6181. 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 March 31, 2022 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 20 – 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
45
typically one year or less. At March 31, 2022, the notional amount of standby letters of credit was $221.1 million, which represented the maximum amount of future funding requirements, and the carrying value was $0.4 million. At December 31, 2021, the notional amount of standby letters of credit was $75.7 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 $230.2 million at March 31, 2022.
NOTE 21 – 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 and equity securities: The fair values for investment securities and equity 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).

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.

(1)Assuming no prepayments.
(2)Each currently performing pool asset is assigned a default probability based on the banking environment, which is adjusted for specific issuer evaluation, of 0%, 50%, or 100%.
(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

| Loan servicing rights | 21 | — | 21 | — | |||||||||||||||||||
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 $78.5 million, with a valuation allowance of $17.8 million at March 31, 2022. Old National recorded provision expense associated with these loans totaling $15.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Old National recorded provision recoveries associated with commercial and commercial real estate loans that were deemed collateral dependent totaling $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Other real estate owned and other repossessed property is measured at fair value less costs to sell on a non-recurring basis and had a net carrying amount of $1.8 million at March 31, 2022. There were $243 thousand write-downs of other real estate owned for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and of $23 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
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 March 31, 2022 totaled $0.3 thousand. Old National recorded recoveries associated with these loan servicing rights totaling $45 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2022. There were recoveries of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

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 $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
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:

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 months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and financial condition as of March 31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. As a supplement to GAAP, the Company provides non-GAAP performance results, which the Company believes are useful because they assist investors in assessing the Company’s operating performance. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the following table.
The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income and net interest margin recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets. Interest income and yields on tax-exempt securities and loans are presented using the current federal income tax rate of 21%. Management believes that it is standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis and that it may enhance comparability for peer comparison purposes.
In management’s view, tangible common equity measures are capital adequacy metrics that may be meaningful to the Company, as well as analysts and investors, in assessing the Company’s use of equity and in facilitating comparisons with peers. These non-GAAP measures are valuable indicators of a financial institution’s capital strength since they eliminate intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and retain the effect of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders’ equity.
Although intended to enhance investors' understanding of the Company’s business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other financial institutions to assess their business and performance. See the previously provided tables and the following reconciliations in the “Non-GAAP Reconciliations” section for details on the calculation of these measures to the extent presented herein.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Old National completed its merger of equals with First Midwest on February 15, 2022 to create the sixth largest commercial bank headquartered in the Midwest. With approximately $46 billion of assets and $31 billion of assets under management, Old National ranks among the top 35 banking companies based in the U.S. and has been recognized as a World’s Most Ethical Company by the Ethisphere Institute for eleven consecutive years. Since its founding in 1834, Old National Bank has focused on community banking by building long-term, highly valued partnerships with clients and in the communities it serves. In addition to providing extensive services in retail and commercial banking, Old National offers comprehensive wealth management, investment, and capital market services.
During the first quarter of 2022, net loss applicable to common shareholders was $(29.6) million, or $(0.13) per diluted common share. Net income applicable to common shareholders was $86.8 million, or $0.52 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2021.
During the first quarter of 2022, we recorded provision for credit losses of $97.6 million, which included $96.3 million of initial provision for credit losses related to the allowance for credit losses established on acquired non-PCD loans associated with the merger with First Midwest. In addition, we recorded $52.3 million of merger-related expenses, including $11.0 million attributable to the provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments.
We achieved strong fundamental results during the first quarter of 2022.
Loans: Our loan balances, excluding loans held for sale, increased $14.734 billion to $28.336 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to $13.602 billion at December 31, 2021. This was primarily driven by our merger with First Midwest in February of 2022 and strong commercial production. We reported total commercial loan production of $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 2022 and the commercial loan pipeline totaled $5.4 billion at March 31, 2022.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased $74.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, and $76.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 primarily due to higher average earning assets from the merger and loan growth, higher accretion income, and lower costs of average interest-bearing liabilities. Partially offsetting these increases were lower interest and fees related to PPP loans, as well as higher average interest-bearing liabilities.
Noninterest Income: Noninterest income increased $8.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, and $13.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The increases were primarily due to noninterest income attributable to the First Midwest merger, partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenues.
Expenses: Noninterest expenses increased $109.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, and $94.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. The increases were primarily due to operating expenses attributable to the First Midwest merger and also included $52.3 million of merger-related charges, including $11.0 million attributable to the provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments. Merger-related charges totaled $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Pandemic Update
As previously disclosed, the COVID-19 pandemic has created economic and financial disruptions that continue to adversely affect our operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Our historically careful underwriting practices, diverse and granular portfolios, and Midwest-based footprint have helped minimize any adverse impact to Old National. The pandemic appears to be slowly receding, and thus becoming less disruptive on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and its clients as of March 31, 2022.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the most significant component of our earnings, comprising 77% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Net interest income and net interest 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.
Interest rates increased significantly during the first quarter of 2022 with the rate on the 2-Year U.S. Treasury increasing 160 basis points from 0.73% to 2.34%. The Federal Reserve’s Federal Funds Rate increased 25 basis points to a target range of 0.25% to 0.50%, with the Effective Federal Funds Rate at 0.33% at March 31, 2022. The Federal Reserve is expected to continue to increase the Federal Funds Rate throughout 2022 and into 2023. If interest rates increase, our interest rate spread may improve, which may result in an increase in our net interest income. If interest rates decline, 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 our mix of assets and funding, net interest income, and net interest 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.

The increase in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to higher average earning assets from the merger and loan growth, higher accretion income, and lower costs of average interest-bearing liabilities. Partially offsetting these increases were lower interest and fees related to PPP loans, higher average interest-bearing liabilities, and lower yields on average earning assets. Accretion income associated with acquired loans and borrowings totaled $15.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $4.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net interest income included interest and net fees on PPP loans totaling $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Unamortized fees on remaining PPP loans totaled $3.0 million at March 31, 2022.
The 6 basis point decrease in the net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 was primarily due to lower yields on interest earning assets, partially offset by lower costs of interest-bearing liabilities. The yield on interest earning assets decreased 12 basis points and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 8 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. Accretion income represented 20 basis points of the net interest margin in the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 9 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Average earning assets were $31.484 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $20.602 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $10.882 billion, or 53%. The increase in average earning assets was primarily due to the merger with First Midwest in February 2022. In addition, loan growth contributed to the increase in average earning assets.
Average loans including loans held for sale increased $6.906 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the First Midwest merger in February 2022. In addition, organic loan growth, primarily within commercial loans, contributed to growth in average loans including loans held for sale.
60
Average investments increased $3.009 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflecting the First Midwest merger in February 2022 and excess liquidity.
Average noninterest-bearing and interest bearing deposits increased $3.539 billion and $6.025 billion, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. This growth was primarily driven by the First Midwest merger in February 2022.
Average borrowed funds increased $885.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, driven by the First Midwest merger in February 2022.
Provision for Credit Losses
Old National recorded provision for credit losses of $97.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $17.4 million provision for credit losses recapture for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Net charge-offs on loans totaled $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net recoveries of $5 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The provision for credit losses expense in the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $96.3 million of initial provision for credit losses on acquired non-PCD loans associated with the First Midwest merger. 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, provision expense may be 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 gains and losses from our core banking franchise and other related businesses, such as wealth management, investment consulting, and investment products.

Noninterest income increased $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the First Midwest merger in February 2022. The increase in noninterest income was partially offset by lower mortgage banking revenue which was impacted by the rate environment, normalizing gain on sale margins, and a higher mix of portfolio production.

Noninterest expense increased $109.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflecting the additional operating costs associated with the First Midwest merger, as well as $52.3 million of merger-related expenses, including $11.0 million of other expenses attributable to the provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments.
Amortization of tax credit investments increased $0.3 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. 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 11 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on our tax credit investments.
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 (loss), was 24.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 16.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In accordance with ASC 740-270, Accounting for Interim Reporting, the provision for income taxes was recorded at March 31, 2022 based on the current estimate of the effective annual rate. Based on the current estimate, the higher effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflected higher post-merger estimated state effective tax rates. An additional benefit of $1.2 million related to share-based payments and a one-time benefit of $0.9 million due to the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred taxes post-merger both increased the effective tax rate for the quarter since the Company reflected a pretax loss, but are expected to reduce the overall full-year tax rate once the Company is in a pretax income position. See Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
At March 31, 2022, our assets were $45.835 billion, a $21.381 billion increase compared to assets of $24.454 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase was driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022.
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. Our historically careful underwriting practices, diverse and granular portfolios, and Midwest-based footprint have helped minimize any adverse impact to
62
Old National. The pandemic appears to be slowly receding, and thus becoming less disruptive on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and its clients as of March 31, 2022.
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 $41.124 billion at March 31, 2022, a $19.273 billion increase compared to earning assets of $21.851 billion at December 31, 2021 driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022.
Investment Securities
We classify the majority 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. During the first quarter of 2022, we transferred $2.039 billion of securities available-for-sale to held-to-maturity in light of the rate environment.
Equity securities are recorded at fair value and totaled $67.6 million at March 31, 2022 compared to $13.2 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in equity securities was driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022.
At March 31, 2022, the investment securities portfolio, including equity securities, was $11.191 billion compared to $7.565 billion at December 31, 2021, an increase of $3.626 billion. Investment securities represented 27% of earning assets at March 31, 2022, compared to 35% at December 31, 2021. Stronger commercial loan demand in the future could result in management’s decision to reduce the securities portfolio. At March 31, 2022, 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 losses of $413.6 million at March 31, 2022, compared to net unrealized losses of $6.0 million at December 31, 2021. Net unrealized losses increased from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in rates impacting market values for mortgage-backed, U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, and tax exempt municipal securities.
The investment portfolio had an effective duration of 4.41 at March 31, 2022, compared to 4.26 at December 31, 2021. 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 2.14% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 2.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for immediate sale in the secondary market were $39.4 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $35.5 million at December 31, 2021. 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 of residential loans held for sale was approximately equal to the unpaid principal balance at March 31, 2022. The aggregate fair value of residential loans held for sale exceeded the unpaid principal balance by $1.3 million at December 31, 2021.
Commercial and Commercial Real Estate Loans
Commercial and commercial real estate loans are the largest classifications within earning assets, representing 49% of earning assets at March 31, 2022, compared to 45% at December 31, 2021. At March 31, 2022, commercial and commercial real estate loans were $19.962 billion, an increase of $10.190 billion compared to December 31, 2021 driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022.

Residential Real Estate Loans
At March 31, 2022, residential real estate loans held in our loan portfolio were $5.706 billion, an increase of $3.451 billion compared to December 31, 2021 driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022. 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, increased $1.094 billion to $2.668 billion at March 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets at March 31, 2022 totaled $2.145 billion, an increase of $1.073 billion from December 31, 2021. In February 2022, we recorded $1.078 billion of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with the merger of First Midwest.
Other Assets
Other assets at March 31, 2022 increased $366.3 million from December 31, 2021 primarily due to higher net deferred tax assets related to net unrealized losses on investment securities and allowance for credit losses on loans and higher miscellaneous investments associated with the First Midwest merger.
Funding
Total funding, comprised of deposits and wholesale borrowings, was $39.955 billion at March 31, 2022, an increase of $18.811 billion from $21.144 billion at December 31, 2021 driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022. Included in total funding were deposits of $35.607 billion at March 31, 2022, an increase of $17.038 billion from $18.569 billion at December 31, 2021. Compared to December 31, 2021, noninterest-bearing deposits increased $6.160 billion, interest-bearing checking and NOW deposits increased $2.958 billion, savings deposits increased $3.073 billion, money market deposits increased $3.263 billion, and time deposits increased $1.584 billion.
We use wholesale funding to augment deposit funding and to help maintain our desired interest rate risk position. At March 31, 2022, wholesale borrowings, including federal funds purchased and interbank borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, and other borrowings, totaled $4.348 billion, an increase of $1.772 billion from December 31, 2021. Wholesale funding as a percentage of total funding was 11% at March 31, 2022 and 12% at December 31, 2021. The increase in wholesale funding from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 was driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022.
65
Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other liabilities at March 31, 2022 increased $192.7 million from December 31, 2021 primarily due to higher derivative liabilities and accrued expenses and other liabilities associated with the First Midwest merger.
Capital
Shareholders’ equity totaled $5.232 billion at March 31, 2022, compared to $3.012 billion at December 31, 2021. In relation to the merger of equals transaction, Old National issued 108,000 shares of Old National Series A Preferred Stock and 122,500 shares of Old National Series C Preferred Stock. Old National entered into two deposit agreements, each dated as of February 15, 2022, by and among Old National, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as depository, and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts in connection with the issuance of the Old National Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the deposit agreements, Old National issued 4,320,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Old National Series A Preferred Stock, and 4,900,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest in a share of Old National Series C Preferred Stock.
Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2022 included $2.446 billion from the 129.4 million shares of Common Stock that were issued in conjunction with the merger with First Midwest. The change in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale investment securities decreased equity by $311.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Old National repurchased 3.5 million shares of Common Stock in the three months ended March 31, 2022 under a stock repurchase plan that was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, which reduced equity by $63.8 million. Old National also paid cash dividends of $0.14 per common share in the three months ended March 31, 2022, which reduced equity by $40.8 million.
Capital Adequacy
Old National and the banking industry are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. At March 31, 2022, 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.

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. Old National performs stress testing periodically throughout the year. 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 Team, and Senior Management to better assess, understand, monitor, and mitigate the risks of Old National. The Risk Appetite Statement addresses the following major risks: strategic, market, liquidity, credit, operational/technology/cybersecurity, talent management, regulatory/compliance/legal, and reputational. 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/cybersecurity, and regulatory/compliance/legal.
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 March 31, 2022, we had pooled trust preferred securities with a fair value of $9.7 million, or less than 1% of the available-for-sale securities portfolio. These securities remained classified as available-for-sale and the unrealized loss on our pooled trust
67
preferred securities was $4.1 million at March 31, 2022. 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 $1.452 billion at March 31, 2022.
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 clients 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: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, 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
68
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 management and overseen 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 provides oversight of loan policy changes as recommended by management to assure our policy remains appropriate for the current lending environment.
We lend to commercial and commercial real estate clients in many diverse industries including, among others, manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling, and retailing. Old National manages concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, client relationship, and loan size. At March 31, 2022, our average commercial loan size was approximately $540,000 and our average commercial real estate loan size was approximately $1,100,000. In addition, while loans to lessors of 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 March 31, 2022, 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 Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
On February 15, 2022, Old National closed on its merger with First Midwest. As of the closing date of the transaction, First Midwest loans totaled $14.308 billion. Old National reviewed the acquired loans and determined that as of March 31, 2022, $254.5 million met the definition of criticized and $456.9 million were considered classified (of which $124.1 million are reported with nonaccrual loans). These loans are included in our summary of under-performing, criticized, and classified assets table below.

Under-performing assets increased to $270.3 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $158.2 million at March 31, 2021 and $127.1 million at December 31, 2021 due to the First Midwest Merger. Under-performing assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate owned at March 31, 2022 were 0.95%, a 19 basis point decrease from 1.14% at March 31, 2021 and a 2 basis point increase from 0.93% at December 31, 2021.
Nonaccrual loans increased from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022 primarily due to nonaccrual loans related to the First Midwest merger totaling $124.1 million. As a percentage of nonaccrual loans, the allowance was 123.07% at March 31, 2022, compared to 80.23% at March 31, 2021 and 100.61% at December 31, 2021.
Total criticized and classified assets were $1.280 billion at March 31, 2022, an increase of $727.6 million from March 31, 2021, and an increase of $770.8 million from December 31, 2021. Criticized and classified assets related to the First Midwest merger totaled $711.4 million at March 31, 2022. Other classified assets include investment securities that fell below investment grade rating totaling $24.7 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $3.8 million at March 31, 2021 and $4.3 million at December 31, 2021.
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 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.
70
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 allocation 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 allocation 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, the allowance allocation is recalculated and 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.
At March 31, 2022, TDRs consisted of $7.0 million of commercial loans, $32.4 million of commercial real estate loans, $0.1 million of BBCC loans, $2.4 million of residential real estate loans, $2.7 million of direct consumer loans, and $0.2 million of home equity loans totaling $44.8 million. TDRs included within nonaccrual loans totaled $23.8 million at March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, TDRs consisted of $7.4 million of commercial loans, $17.2 million of commercial real estate loans, $0.1 million of BBCC loans, $2.4 million of residential real estate loans, $2.7 million of direct consumer loans, and $0.2 million of home equity loans, totaling $30.0 million. TDRs included within nonaccrual loans totaled $11.7 million at December 31, 2021.
Old National has established specific allowances for credit losses for clients whose loan terms have been modified as TDRs totaling $6.2 million at March 31, 2022 and $0.7 million of December 31, 2021. Old National had not committed to lend any additional funds to clients with outstanding loans that were classified as TDRs at March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021.
The terms of certain other loans were modified during 2022 and 2021 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 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.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments
Net charge-offs on loans totaled $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to net recoveries of $5 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Annualized, net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans were 0.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 0.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Management will continue its efforts to reduce the level of non-performing loans and may
71
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 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 for loans was $280.5 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $107.3 million at December 31, 2021. The increase reflects the initial allowance for credit losses established for acquired PCD loans totaling $78.5 million related to the First Midwest merger. In addition, the provision for credit losses expense in the three months ended March 31, 2022 included $96.3 million of initial provision for credit losses required on acquired non-PCD loans associated with the First Midwest merger. 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, provision expense may be 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 $22.0 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $10.9 million at December 31, 2021. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was driven by the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022.
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.
72
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, client 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 establish guidelines for asset and liability management, including measurement of short and long-term sensitivities to changes in interest rates, which is reviewed with the Enterprise Risk Committee of our Board of Directors. 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.
73

Our asset sensitivity increased year over year primarily due to deposit growth, higher mix of floating rate loans, and changes in our hedging strategies.
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 March 31, 2022, 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 liability position with a fair value loss of $16.8 million at March 31, 2022, compared to a net asset position with a fair value gain of $1.3 million at December 31, 2021. See Note 18 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. We establish liquidity risk guidelines that we review with the Enterprise Risk Committee of our Board of Directors and monitor through our Balance Sheet Management Committee. 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.

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 March 31, 2022, Old National Bancorp’s other borrowings outstanding were $488.5 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 2021 and is not currently required.
Operational/Technology/Cybersecurity Risk
Operational/technology/cybersecurity 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 cybersecurity risk including, but not limited to, cyber-attacks or other information security breaches that might allow unauthorized transactions or unauthorized access to client, team member, or company sensitive information. Metrics and measurements are used by our management team in the management of day-to-day operations to ensure effective client service, minimization of service disruptions, and oversight of cybersecurity risk. We continually monitor and report on operational, technology, and cybersecurity risks related to business disruptions and systems failures; cyber-attacks, information security or data breaches; clients, products, and business practices; damage to physical assets; employee and workplace safety; execution, delivery, and process management; and external and internal fraud.
The Enterprise Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight, guidance, and monitoring of risks, including operational/technology/cybersecurity 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 that 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.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our most significant 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, 2021. Certain of these 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 our critical accounting estimates. 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.
Business Combination and Goodwill
•Description. For acquisitions, we are required to record the assets acquired, including identified intangible assets such as core deposit and customer trust relationship intangibles, and the liabilities assumed at their fair value. The difference between consideration and the net fair value of assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Management uses significant estimates and assumptions to value such items, including projected cash flows, repayment rates, default rates and losses assuming default, discount rates, and realizable collateral values. The allowance for credit losses for PCD loans is recognized within acquisition accounting. The allowance for credit losses for non-PCD assets is recognized as provision for credit losses in the same reporting period as the acquisition. Fair value adjustments are amortized or accreted into the income statement over the estimated life of the acquired assets or assumed liabilities. The purchase date valuations and any subsequent adjustments determine the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition. The use of different assumptions could produce significantly different valuation results, which could have material positive or negative effects on our results of operations. 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. In addition, we engage third party specialists to assist in the development of fair values. Preliminary estimates of fair values may be adjusted for a period of time subsequent to the acquisition date if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Adjustments recorded during this period are recognized in the current reporting period. Management uses various valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of these assets and liabilities, and often involves a significant degree of judgment, particularly when liquid markets do not exist for the particular item being valued. Examples of such items include loans, deposits, identifiable intangible assets, and certain other assets and liabilities.
•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 assets, including goodwill and liabilities, which 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 pandemic, or any other epidemic that harms the global economy, U.S. economy, or the economies in which we operate could adversely affect our operations. Goodwill is especially susceptible to risk of impairment during prolonged periods of economic downturn.
For additional information regarding critical accounting estimates, see the section titled “Critical Accounting Estimates” included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes in the Company’s application of critical accounting estimates related to allowance for credit losses for loans, derivative financial instruments, or income taxes since December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. 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 our 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.
