Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) Joseph D. Barnette, Jr. retired as a director of Old National Bancorp (the “Company”) effective at the conclusion of the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 10, 2012 (“Annual Meeting”) due to reaching the Company’s mandatory retirement age for directors as established in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. There were no disagreements between the Company and Mr. Barnette in connection with his retirement. Prior to his retirement, Mr. Barnette was a member of the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors and served as the Chair of the Board’s Risk and Credit Policy Committee.

(e) At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Old National Bancorp Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 26, 2012. The Amended Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on May 15, 2008. The Amended Plan became effective upon shareholder approval of the Plan on May 10, 2012. Outstanding awards under the Prior Plan will continue in effect in accordance with their terms.

The Amended Plan includes the following material changes to the Prior Plan: (i) the addition of service-based restricted stock units as an award type; (ii) the addition of additional performance measures to be used for awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) the inclusion of strengthened anti-repricing provisions for underwater stock options and stock appreciation rights which require shareholder approval except in connection with certain corporate events or transactions; (iv) the addition of prohibitions on liberal share counting and share recycling for purposes of determining the aggregate share limit under the Amended Plan; (v) the addition of provisions requiring minimum vesting periods for full-value awards, except for a “basket” equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares available under the Amended Plan that are not subject to the minimum vesting requirements; (vi) the addition of language that makes the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents for performance-based awards contingent upon the achievement of the applicable performance targets; and (vii) the removal of the automatic single-trigger acceleration upon a change in control.

The foregoing description of the material changes to the Amended Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
