Excerpt From Old National's February 2, 2015 Earnings Report

“As we move into 2015, we will remain focused on achieving our strategic imperatives by executing on three key initiatives: growing organic revenue, improving the operating leverage of the franchise, and prudently utilizing capital,” noted Jones. “I'm confident that our steady focus on these initiatives, coupled with the work we have done to transform our franchise over the last few years, will continue to position Old National well for future growth and keep us on a path to becoming a true high performance organization.”

With the ultimate goal of being a high-performing financial institution, Old National announced on January 30, 2015, actions that should improve the operating leverage of the franchise. These actions include the sale of Old National's Southern Illinois franchise and Lawrenceville, Illinois location (12 branches), the sale of five branches in Eastern Indiana and Ohio, and the consolidation or closing of an additional 19 branches throughout the Old National franchise. In addition, an early retirement program will be implemented by the Company.
