ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Old National Bancorp ("ONB") on November 24, 2008, ONB, the wholly-owned subsidiary of ONB, Old National Bank ("Old National Bank"), and RBS Citizens, National Association ("RBS Citizens"), entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") on November 24, 2008 pursuant to which Old National Bank will purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities (the "Purchase") of 65 branch offices of RBS Citizens located in the state of Indiana (collectively, the "Branches"). On March 20, 2009, ONB, Old National Bank and RBS Citizens entered into a First Amendment to the Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the "Amendment").

The foregoing description of the Amendment contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated into this report by reference.
