EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Horizon Bancorp (the “Company”) on July 15, 2016 (the “Original Report”), in order to report the shareholder election results in connection with the merger of LaPorte Bancorp, Inc. with and into the Company. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to correct a scrivener’s error reversing two numbers in the Original Report. No other changes have been made to the Original Report.

Item 8.01  Other Events

The third paragraph of Item 8.01 of the Original Report is amended in its entirety to read correctly as follows (which correction reverses the 49.6% and the 50.4% as presented in the Original Report):

Applying the allocation and proration procedures specified in the Merger Agreement to these election results:

·
LaPorte shareholders who made a valid election to receive the stock consideration for their shares of Horizon common stock will receive only the stock consideration;

·
LaPorte shareholders who made a valid election to receive the cash consideration for their shares of LaPorte common stock will receive a combination of cash and Horizon common stock.  For such shareholders, approximately 50.4% percent of their LaPorte shares will convert into the cash consideration and approximately 49.6% of their LaPorte shares will convert into the stock consideration; and

·
LaPorte shareholders who did not make a valid election will receive only the stock consideration for their LaPorte shares.
