(1)
This amount is based upon the maximum number of shares of Registrant that Registrant may be required to issue at closing of the proposed merger (determined pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 19, 2007, among the Registrant, Hickory Acquisition, Inc., FINA Bancorp, Inc., and Wayne B. Welter, as shareholders’ agent, described in the proxy statement/prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, assuming the price adjustment provisions require a price increase of not more than $1.5 million). Pursuant to Rule 416, this registration statement also covers an indeterminate number of shares of common stock as may become issuable as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
 
(2)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee required by Section 6(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and computed pursuant to Rule 457(f)(2) and (f)(3) of the Securities Act. The proposed maximum offering price is equal to (1) the aggregate book value of the outstanding common stock of FINA Bancorp, Inc. to be acquired by Registrant in the merger of $69,900,000, as of December 31, 2006; less (2) the minimum cash portion of the merger consideration to be paid by the Registrant in the transaction (assuming the price adjustment provisions require a price decrease of $1.5 million), which will be $77,430,000. As this is a negative number, no fee is required to be paid.
 

 
The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED March 9, 2007

 
FINA Bancorp, Inc.
 
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of shareholders of FINA Bancorp, Inc. to be held at our corporate offices at 14 Indiana Avenue, Valparaiso, Indiana, at _:00 p.m. local time on [·], 2007.
 
At the special meeting, you will be asked to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among 1st Source Corporation, Hickory Acquisition, Inc., FINA Bancorp, Inc. and Wayne B. Welter, as shareholders’ agent, pursuant to which FINA Bancorp will merge with and into Hickory Acquisition, Inc. and the separate existence of FINA Bancorp will cease and First National Bank, Valparaiso, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of 1st Source Corporation.
 
The aggregate value of the merger consideration to be paid by 1st Source to FINA Bancorp shareholders is approximately $135,000,000, which shall consist of up to approximately $56,700,000 in 1st Source common stock and the remainder will be paid in cash. Based on 42,101 shares of FINA Bancorp common stock issued and outstanding, upon completion of the merger, FINA Bancorp shareholders are expected to receive merger consideration equal to approximately $3,206.57 per share of FINA Bancorp common stock. FINA Bancorp shareholders will be entitled to elect whether to receive cash or 1st Source common stock or a combination thereof, in exchange for their FINA Bancorp shares; provided that no more 42% or less than 40% of the aggregate consideration will be paid in the form of stock. To the extent FINA Bancorp shareholders’ elections in aggregate would call for the payment of less than 58% of the aggregate consideration in cash, the available 1st Source common stock will be allocated among shareholders electing to receive common stock on a pro rata basis, based on the amount of 1st Source common stock they initially elect to receive. Similarly, and subject to the obligation of 1st Source under certain conditions to pay all of the aggregate consideration in cash, to the extent FINA Bancorp shareholders’ elections in aggregate would call for the payment of more than 60% of the aggregate consideration in cash, the available cash will be allocated among shareholders electing to receive cash on a pro rata basis, based on the amount of cash they initially elect to receive.
 
If you elect or become entitled to receive 1st Source common stock in the merger, the number of shares you receive will depend in part on the average closing price of 1st Source common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten full trading days ending on the third full trading day before the anticipated completion of the merger. The average closing price of 1st Source common stock for the ten trading days ending on _____, 2007 was $_____.
 
Because the amount of cash and shares of 1st Source common stock you will receive in the merger is subject to adjustment based on the elections of all FINA Bancorp shareholders, and the number of shares of 1st Source common stock to be issued in the merger will be based in part on the average closing price of 1st Source common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten full trading days ending on the third full trading day before the anticipated completion date of the merger, you will not know the exact number of shares of 1st Source common stock you will receive, or the value of those shares, when you vote on the agreement and plan of merger.
 
1st Source common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “SRCE.”
 
After careful consideration, FINA Bancorp’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” approval of the agreement and plan of merger.
 

 
To complete the merger, holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of FINA Bancorp common stock must approve the agreement and plan of merger.
 
This document provides you with detailed information about the merger. In addition to being a proxy statement of FINA Bancorp, this document is also the prospectus of 1st Source for shares of 1st Source common stock that will be issued in connection with the merger. We encourage you to read the entire document carefully. Please pay particular attention to “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 for a discussion of the risks related to the merger and owning 1st Source common stock after the merger. 
 
I hope to see you on [·], 2007 at our offices in Valparaiso, Indiana.
 
 
Sincerely,
   
 
 /s/ Wayne B. Welter
 
Wayne B. Welter
 
President

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER AND THE SPECIAL MEETING
 
About the Merger
 
Q:
What am I voting on? 
 
A:
1st Source, Hickory Acquisition, Inc., FINA Bancorp and Wayne B. Welter, as shareholders’ agent, have entered into an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which 1st Source has agreed to acquire FINA Bancorp. You are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the agreement and plan of merger through which FINA Bancorp will merge with and into Hickory Acquisition, Inc. As a result of the merger, FINA Bancorp will cease to exist and FINA Bancorp shareholders will exchange their FINA Bancorp common stock for shares of 1st Source common stock and/or cash, based on the election procedures described below.
 
Q:
What will I receive in exchange for my shares of FINA Bancorp common stock? 
 
A:
Based on 42,101 shares of FINA Bancorp common stock issued and outstanding, upon completion of the merger, FINA Bancorp shareholders are expected to receive merger consideration equal to approximately $3,206.57 per share of FINA Bancorp common stock in the form of cash and (if you elect to receive shares and/or shares are allocated to you pursuant to the merger agreement) shares of 1st Source common stock. The cash portion of the merger consideration will be between 58% and 60% of the aggregate purchase consideration. After setting aside between $4 million and $5.5 million in escrow for purposes of adjusting the purchase price and providing indemnity to 1st Source, the balance of the purchase price will be allocated among the FINA Bancorp shareholders based on their written elections whether to take cash and 1st Source common stock or all cash as consideration for their shares. The amount in the escrow account will be paid out after satisfaction of all escrow conditions. Depending on the elections by all of the FINA Bancorp shareholders, the cash and stock consideration may be reallocated among the FINA Bancorp shareholders to ensure that the total mix of cash and stock consideration is within the parameters required by the merger agreement. If you receive 1st Source common stock in exchange for your shares of FINA Bancorp, the actual number of shares that you receive will depend in part on the average closing price of 1st Source common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten full trading days ending on the third full trading day before the completion of the merger.
 
Q:
Will I be able to trade the 1st Source common stock that I receive in the merger? 
 
A:
Yes. The 1st Source common stock issued in the merger will be quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “SRCE.” You may sell the shares of 1st Source common stock you receive in the merger without restriction unless, under United States securities laws, you are considered an “affiliate” of FINA Bancorp at the time of the special meeting or become an “affiliate” of 1st Source as a result of the merger. Affiliates will need to comply with the restrictions described in the section titled “The Merger—Restrictions on Resale by Affiliates” beginning on page 42.
 
Q:
What is the required vote to approve the agreement and plan of merger? 
 
A:
The holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of FINA Bancorp common stock as of [·], 2007, the record date for the special meeting, must vote to approve the agreement and plan of merger in order for the merger to be completed. Abstentions from voting and “broker non-votes” are not considered affirmative votes and, therefore, will have the same effect as a vote “against” the merger.
 
As of the record date, FINA Bancorp’s executive officers and directors and their affiliates, as a group, beneficially owned or had the power to direct the voting of approximately 82.9% of the common stock of FINA Bancorp. Individuals who are beneficial owners of and have the power to direct the voting of shares equal in the aggregate to approximately 72.3% of the common stock of FINA Bancorp have agreed to vote in favor of the agreement and plan of merger by means of a Shareholder Voting agreement, the form of which is attached as Appendix C to this proxy statement/prospectus. Included in these shares are 9,396 shares, or approximately 22.3% of the common stock of FINA Bancorp, held by the William J. Welter Irrevocable Trust. The provisions of this trust are currently the subject of a pending lawsuit which may impact the method of voting of these shares. Neither FINA Bancorp nor 1st Source is a party to this lawsuit and we offer no assurance as to how or when such lawsuit may be resolved.
 
 
1

 
Q:
Are 1st Source shareholders voting on the merger? 
 
A:
No vote of 1st Source shareholders is required under applicable law to complete the merger.
 
Q:
What does the FINA Bancorp board of directors recommend? 
 
A:
The board of directors of FINA Bancorp recommends by a majority vote that FINA Bancorp’s shareholders vote “FOR” the agreement and plan of merger.
 
Q:
Do I have dissenters’ or appraisal rights with respect to the merger? 
 
A:
Yes. Under Indiana law, you have the right to dissent from the merger. To exercise dissenters’ rights of appraisal, or appraisal rights, you must strictly follow the procedures prescribed by the Indiana Business Corporation Law, or IBCL. To review these procedures in more detail, see “Rights of Dissenting Shareholders” beginning on page 43 of this proxy statement/prospectus and Appendix D.
 
Q:
When do you expect the merger to occur? 
 
A:
We expect to complete the merger promptly after FINA Bancorp’s shareholders approve the agreement and plan of merger at the special meeting and after the receipt of all requisite governmental and regulatory approvals, the expiration of applicable waiting periods and the satisfaction or waiver of all other conditions to the merger. We currently expect this to occur in the second quarter of 2007, although delays may occur.
 
Q:
Are there any risks I should consider in deciding whether I vote for the agreement and plan of merger and the merger? 
 
A:
Yes. Set out under the heading of “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 14 of this document, a number of risk factors are discussed that you should consider carefully.

A:
Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. You may change your vote by submitting a new proxy with a later date or by voting in person at the special meeting.

May I vote in person? 
 
A:
Yes. You may attend the special meeting and vote your shares in person rather than completing, signing and mailing a proxy card.
 
Q:
Why is it important for me to vote? 
 
A:
We cannot complete the merger without the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of FINA Bancorp common stock as of the record date voting in favor of the agreement and plan of merger. If you do not vote or fail to give instructions to your broker or bank to vote on your behalf, it will have the same effect as a vote against the merger. 
 
Q:
Should I send in my stock certificates with my proxy card? 
 
A:
Yes. If you wish to make an election regarding whether you will become entitled to receive a combination of stock and cash, or only cash, in the merger, you must complete the enclosed Letter of Transmittal and Election and return it with your original FINA Bancorp stock certificates to which it applies, to the exchange agent, on or before _____________, 2007.

FINA Bancorp’s Board Recommends that You Vote “For” the Agreement and Plan of Merger; FINA Bancorp’s Reasons for Merger (page 26)

of the circumstances surrounding the merger and the factors considered by FINA Bancorp’s board of directors in approving the agreement and plan of merger, see page 25.
 
1st Source’s Reasons for Merger (page 26)
 
1st Source is a locally controlled, regional bank holding company serving communities in Northern Indiana and Southwestern Michigan. Acquisition of FINA Bancorp, and its subsidiary, First National Bank, Valparaiso, provides 1st Source with an important opportunity to acquire another locally controlled financial institution with a complementary geographic footprint and valuable depositary relationships.
 
FINA Bancorp’s Financial Advisor Has Provided an Opinion as to the Fairness of the Merger Consideration, from a Financial Point of View, to FINA Bancorp’s Shareholders (page 27)
 
ASFI, LLC (d/b/a Austin Financial Services) delivered its oral opinion to FINA Bancorp’s board of directors that, as of February 17, 2007 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in the opinion, the aggregate merger consideration to be received by holders of the outstanding shares of common stock of FINA Bancorp under the agreement and plan of merger was fair from a financial point of view to such holders.
 
The full text of the written opinion of AFSI, dated [·], 2007, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement/prospectus. FINA Bancorp’s shareholders should read the opinion in its entirety. AFSI provided its opinion for the information and assistance of FINA Bancorp’s board of directors in connection with its consideration of the transaction. The AFSI opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of FINA Bancorp common stock should vote or make any election with respect to the transaction.
 
FINA Bancorp’s Shareholders Will Receive Cash and Shares of 1st Source Common Stock in the Merger Allocated Based on Their Elections and the Provisions of the Merger Agreement (page 31)
 
Based on 42,101 shares of FINA Bancorp common stock issued and outstanding, upon completion of the merger, FINA Bancorp shareholders are expected to receive merger consideration equal to approximately $3,206.57 per share of FINA Bancorp common stock in the form of cash and (if you elect to receive shares and/or shares are allocated to you pursuant to the merger agreement) shares of 1st Source common stock. The cash portion of the merger consideration will be between 58% and 60% of the aggregate purchase consideration. The aggregate purchase price to be paid by 1st Source will be approximately $135 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the merger agreement. After setting aside between $4 million and $5.5 million in cash in the escrow for purposes of adjusting the purchase price and providing indemnity to 1st Source, the balance of the purchase price will be allocated among the FINA Bancorp shareholders based on their written elections whether to take cash or 1st Source common stock as consideration for their shares. Depending on the elections by all of the FINA Bancorp shareholders, the cash and stock consideration may be reallocated among the FINA Bancorp shareholders to ensure that the total mix of cash and stock consideration is within the parameters required by the merger agreement. If you receive 1st Source common stock in exchange for your shares of FINA Bancorp, the actual number of shares that you receive will depend in part on the average closing price of 1st Source common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten full trading days ending on the third full trading day before the completion of the merger.
 
Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger (page 36)
 
The merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), generally referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the Code. It is a condition to the closing of the merger that FINA Bancorp receive an opinion of counsel, dated as of the closing date of the merger, to the effect that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.
 
 
5

 
Assuming the merger qualifies as a reorganization, in general, you will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes on the exchange of your FINA Bancorp shares for 1st Source shares in the merger. Taxable gain will result, however, to the extent that you receive cash instead of 1st Source common stock (including cash received in lieu of fractional shares of 1st Source common stock) and the cash received exceeds your adjusted basis in the surrendered stock.
 
In the event that you and all of the other FINA Bancorp shareholders receive solely cash in exchange for your FINA Bancorp shares, the merger will not be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, taxable gain will result to the extent that you receive cash and the cash received exceeds your adjusted basis in the surrendered shares of FINA Bancorp stock.
 
You should read “The Merger—Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” beginning on page 36 for a more complete discussion of the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. We urge you to consult with your tax advisor for a full understanding of the tax consequences of the merger to you.
 
FINA Bancorp Shareholder Vote Required to Approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger (page 22)
 
Approval of the agreement and plan of merger requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of FINA Bancorp common stock outstanding as of the close of business on [·], 2007, the record date for the special meeting of FINA Bancorp shareholders. At the close of business on the record date, there were 42,101 shares of FINA Bancorp common stock outstanding held by 80 holders of record. Each holder of record of FINA Bancorp common stock on the record date is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the special meeting.

As of the record date, FINA Bancorp’s executive officers and directors and their affiliates, as a group, beneficially owned approximately 82.9% of the common stock of FINA Bancorp. Individuals who are beneficial owners of and have the power to direct the voting of shares equal in the aggregate to approximately 72.3% of the common stock of FINA Bancorp have agreed to vote in favor of the agreement and plan of merger by means of a Shareholder Voting agreement, the form of which is attached as Appendix C to this proxy statement/prospectus. Included in these shares are 9,396 shares, or approximately 22.3% of the common stock of FINA Bancorp, held by the William J. Welter Irrevocable Trust. The provisions of this trust are currently the subject of a pending lawsuit which may impact the method of voting of these shares. Neither FINA Bancorp nor 1st Source is a party to this lawsuit and we offer no assurance as to how or when such lawsuit may be resolved.
 
Dissenters’ or Appraisal Rights (Page 43)
 
The Indiana Business Corporation Law grants dissenters’ rights in the merger to holders of FINA Bancorp common stock. Under the Indiana Business Corporation Law, FINA Bancorp shareholders may dissent from the share exchange and demand in writing that FINA Bancorp pay the fair value of their shares. Fair value excludes any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the share exchange unless the exclusion would be inequitable.
 
Chapter 44 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law sets forth the required procedures a shareholder requesting dissenters’ rights must follow. A copy of Chapter 44 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law is attached as Appendix D to this proxy statement/prospectus. Shareholders who elect to exercise dissenters’ rights must strictly comply with all of the procedures to preserve those rights.
 
Certain FINA Bancorp Directors and Executive Officers May Have Interests in the Merger that are Different from, or in Addition to, Their Interests as Shareholders (page 30)
 
You should be aware that certain of FINA Bancorp’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, their interests as shareholders of FINA Bancorp. FINA Bancorp’s board of directors was aware of these interests and took them into account at the time they approved the agreement and plan of merger. These interests include provisions in the merger agreement relating to indemnification of directors and officers and insurance for directors and officers of
 
 
6

 
FINA Bancorp for events occurring before the merger. These interests are more fully described in this proxy statement/prospectus under the heading “The Merger—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” beginning on page 30.
 
FINA Bancorp Has Agreed When and How FINA Bancorp and its Subsidiaries Can Consider Third-Party Acquisition Proposals (page 50)
 
The agreement and plan of merger contains detailed provisions prohibiting FINA Bancorp, either directly or indirectly, from seeking or encouraging an alternative acquisition proposal. The “no solicitation” provisions prohibit FINA Bancorp and its subsidiaries, as well as their officers, directors, employees and representatives, from taking any action to solicit an acquisition proposal as described on page 50. However, the agreement and plan of merger does not prohibit FINA Bancorp and its subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors, employees and representatives from providing confidential information to third parties, engaging in negotiations with, and potentially recommending an alternative acquisition proposal as described on page 50 if FINA Bancorp’s board of directors concludes in good faith, on the basis of written advice from outside counsel, that failure to take such actions would be a breach of fiduciary duties by the board of directors under applicable law.
 
Even if the FINA Bancorp board of directors resolves to change its recommendation in favor of the agreement and plan of merger, FINA Bancorp must hold the special meeting of shareholders unless the agreement has been terminated by FINA Bancorp because it has accepted a third-party acquisition proposal, as discussed above, or because 1st Source has accepted a third-party acquisition proposal. At any shareholders’ meeting of FINA Bancorp at which the agreement is considered, the FINA Bancorp shareholders who are parties to the voting agreement with 1st Source will be required to honor the voting agreement, under which they have agreed to vote the shares of FINA Bancorp common stock beneficially owned by them or over which they have power to direct the vote (aggregating approximately 72.3% of FINA Bancorp’s outstanding shares) in favor of the agreement and plan of merger.
 
Accounting Treatment (page 36)
 
The combination of the two companies will be accounted for as an acquisition of FINA Bancorp by 1st Source using the purchase method of accounting.
 
The Completion of the Merger is Subject to Certain Conditions (page 50)
 
Completion of the merger is subject to various conditions, including the approval of the agreement and plan of merger by FINA Bancorp’s shareholders, as well as receipt of all required banking and other regulatory approvals. However, 1st Source will not be required to consummate the merger if any such regulatory approval contains any condition which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of 1st Source, adversely impacts the ability of 1st Source to conclude the merger or operate any business of 1st Source or FINA Bancorp as currently operated. Other conditions include the accuracy of the other parties’ representations and performance of their respective obligations, and receipt by FINA Bancorp of an opinion of counsel as to the tax treatment of the merger, unless the aggregate merger consideration is all cash. There can be no assurance as to whether or when all of the conditions will be satisfied or, where permissible, waived.
 
We Have Not Yet Obtained All Regulatory Approvals (page 42)
 
We cannot complete the merger unless we receive the prior written approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (sometimes called the “Federal Reserve”) and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (sometimes called “IDFI”). 1st Source and FINA Bancorp and their relevant subsidiaries have either filed or intend to complete the filing promptly after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus of all required applications and notices with applicable regulatory authorities in connection with the merger. There can be no assurance that all requisite approvals will be obtained or that such approvals will be received on a timely basis.

Termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (page 51)
 
The agreement and plan of merger may be terminated at any time prior to the completion of the merger, whether before or after approval of the agreement and plan of merger by FINA Bancorp shareholders:
 
 
 
by mutual consent of FINA Bancorp and 1st Source;
 
 
 
by either FINA Bancorp or 1st Source, if the merger has not become effective by August 31, 2007; provided, that the date will be extended for any period during which the merger is enjoined;
 
 
 
by either FINA Bancorp or 1st Source, if the Federal Reserve or the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions has denied approval of the merger and such denial has become final and nonappealable;

 
 
by either FINA Bancorp or 1st Source, upon 60 days notice to the other upon a breach or failure of a representation, warranty or covenant by the other that causes a failure of the conditions to the closing of the merger, which breach or failure has not been cured within the 60-day period after written notice of such breach is given, so long as the terminating party is not in material breach of any of its obligations under the agreement and plan of merger; or
 
  
 
by the board of directors of FINA Bancorp:
 
 
 
if 1st Source accepts a proposal from a third party to acquire 51% or more of its common stock; or
 
 
 
if prior to the effective time of the merger, FINA Bancorp shall have received an acquisition proposal and the board of directors of FINA Bancorp determines, in good faith judgment based on the written opinion of its legal counsel and after consultation with its investment banking firm, that failure to terminate the agreement and plan of merger and accept such alternative acquisition proposal would violate the fiduciary duties of FINA Bancorp’s board of directors (subject to payment of a termination fee to 1st Source).

Termination Fee

If FINA Bancorp determines it is required to terminate the merger agreement in order to accept an alternative acquisition proposal, as described in the foregoing paragraph, FINA Bancorp may only exercise such right of termination if it pays a termination fee of $4.5 million to 1st Source.

Voting Agreement
 
In connection with the execution of the agreement and plan of merger, and as a condition to 1st Source’s willingness to enter into the agreement and plan of merger, Donna D. Welter, Wendy N. Meyers, Wayne B. Welter and Cyril J. Welter, who are the beneficial owners of and have the power to direct the voting of shares equal in the aggregate to approximately 72.3% of FINA Bancorp’s outstanding common stock, entered into a Shareholders Voting Agreement with 1st Source. Included in these shares are 9,396 shares, or approximately 22.3% of the common stock of FINA Bancorp, held by the William J. Welter Irrevocable Trust. The provisions of this trust are currently the subject of a pending lawsuit which may impact the method of voting of these shares. FINA Bancorp is not a party to this lawsuit and is offering no assurance as to how or when such lawsuit may be resolved. The voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix C. Under the voting agreement, each such shareholder has agreed (with respect to all shares of FINA Bancorp common stock beneficially owned by that shareholder, and any shares held of record by a fiduciary in respect of which such shareholder has power to direct the vote) that at any meeting of the FINA Bancorp shareholders or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of FINA Bancorp with respect to the merger, the agreement and plan of merger or any other acquisition proposal, such shareholder will:
 
 
 
vote (or direct the voting of) his or her shares in favor of the agreement and plan of merger, the merger and any transactions contemplated thereby; and
 
 
 
vote (or direct the voting of) his or her shares against approval of any other acquisition proposal.
 
 
8

 
The voting agreement also contains restrictions on:
 
 
 
the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of the shareholder’s shares;
 
 
 
the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization relating to the agreement and plan of merger; and
 
 
 
depositing of the shareholder’s shares into a voting trust or entrance into a voting agreement.
 
In the voting agreement, each signing shareholder agrees not to solicit or respond to any other acquisition proposal, and to promptly inform 1st Source of any other acquisition proposal. The voting agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the completion date of the merger, (ii) the termination of the agreement and plan of merger, or (iii) notification by 1st Source to the Shareholders’ Agent.
 
Shareholders’ Agent
 
Prior to the effective time of the merger, the Board of Directors and the officers of FINA Bancorp will continue to take action on behalf of FINA Bancorp under the agreement and plan of merger. However, after the effective time of the merger, since FINA Bancorp will have been merged out of existence and First National Bank will become a wholly owned subsidiary of 1st Source, Wayne B. Welter has been designated under the agreement and plan of merger to act as the “Shareholders’ Agent” from and after the effective time of the merger for the then former shareholders of FINA Bancorp.

Comparative Historical and Pro Forma Per Share Data
 
The following table sets forth for 1st Source and FINA Bancorp certain historical and pro forma per share financial information. The pro forma per share information gives effect to the merger as if the merger had been effective on the dates presented in the case of the book value data, and as if the merger had been effective as of January 1 of the fiscal year presented in the case of the earnings per share and the cash dividends data. The pro forma and pro forma equivalent data in the tables assume that the merger is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and represents a current estimate based on available information of the combined company’s historical results of operations. The pro forma financial adjustments are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The information in the following table is based on, and should be read together with, the historical financial information presented in 1st Source’s prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the impact of possible revenue enhancements, expense efficiencies and other factors, that may result as a consequence of the merger and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect the historical results of the combined company that actually would have occurred had the merger been in effect for the periods indicated. Upon completion of the merger, the operating results of FINA Bancorp and its subsidiaries will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements of 1st Source on a prospective basis.

The foregoing data are presented on the basis of the following:
 
(1) The historical net book value per 1st Source and FINA Bancorp share is computed by dividing shareholders’ equity at the end of the period by the number of shares of 1st Source and FINA Bancorp common stock outstanding at the same date. The pro forma combined net book value per share is computed by dividing the pro forma combined shareholders’ equity at the end of the period by the pro forma number of shares of 1st Source common stock that would have been outstanding, assuming the merger had occurred as of that date. For purposes of this illustration, management assumed (i) a purchase price of $134,228,000 and (ii) that 1,853,866 shares of 1st Source common stock valued at $29.16 per share will be issued for 40% of the merger consideration paid for the shares of FINA Bancorp common stock. The remainder of the merger consideration is assumed to be paid in cash.
 
(2) The pro forma combined amounts for the year ended December 31, 2006 were derived from (a) the audited consolidated financial statements of 1st Source contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is incorporated by reference in this document and (b) the unaudited financial statements of FINA Bancorp for the year ended December 31, 2006 after giving effect to pro forma adjustments for the estimated impact of purchase accounting relating to the merger. Pro forma adjustments made to net income per share for purposes of this illustration include estimated amortization expense, net of taxes, totaling $1,323,000 for the year. Pro forma adjustments for the acquisition related expenses of $1,328,000 after taxes were included in book value per share, but not net income per share, for purposes of this illustration. This illustration does not include adjustment for any efficiencies associated with the combined operation or changes which may be made after completion of the merger.
 
12

 
(3) Shares used to calculate pro forma combined income per share (basic and diluted) were computed by adding the 1,853,866 shares assumed to be issued in the merger to 1st Source’s weighted average shares (basic and diluted) for the respective periods.
 
(4) The pro forma combined equivalent data is calculated by multiplying the pro forma combined data amounts by an exchange ratio averaging in aggregate 104.845 shares of 1st Source common stock for each outstanding share of FINA Bancorp common stock.
 
(5) The pro forma combined dividend information incorporates historical dividends of 1st Source because 1st Source currently has no intention of changing its dividend policy as a result of the merger.

RISK FACTORS
 
In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, you should carefully read and consider the following factors in evaluating the proposals to be voted on at the special meeting and in deciding whether to elect to receive cash or shares of 1st Source common stock in the merger. Please also refer to the additional risk factors identified in the periodic reports and other documents of 1st Source incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus and listed under “Where You Can Find More Information - Incorporation of Documents by Reference” on page 65.
 
Risks Factors Relating to the Merger
 
The proportions of cash or 1st Source common stock you will receive as consideration in the merger is uncertain and will not be known until the merger is effective.
 
Even if you elect to receive cash consideration in exchange for your FINA Bancorp shares instead of shares of 1st Source common stock, depending on the elections of other FINA Bancorp shareholders and other factors described in the merger agreement, shares of 1st Source common stock may nevertheless be allocated to you in the merger. Similarly, even if you elect to receive stock consideration in exchange for your FINA Bancorp shares instead of cash, depending on the elections of other FINA Bancorp shareholders and other factors described in the merger agreement, incremental cash may nevertheless be allocated to you in the merger instead of shares of 1st Source common stock. Accordingly, you will not know the exact proportions of cash or stock consideration you will become entitled to receive until the merger is effective.
 
If you receive shares of 1st Source common stock in the merger, you will not be certain of the number of shares you will receive until the effective time of the merger.
 
The number of shares of 1st Source common stock received by a FINA Bancorp shareholder who receives 1st Source stock will depend in part on the average closing price of 1st Source common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten full trading days ending on the third full trading day before the anticipated completion of the merger. In addition, if the value of 1st Source common stock at closing falls below $25.663, the 1st Source common stock received by FINA Bancorp shareholders will be initially determined on the basis of a value of $25.663, but 1st Source will be required to compensate FINA Bancorp shareholders receiving 1st Source stock for the deficiency in the closing value of 1st Source common stock below $25.663, in the form of cash or stock or both, as 1st Source determines. Accordingly, FINA Bancorp shareholders will not know the exact number of shares of 1st Source common stock they will receive in the merger until the effective time of the merger.
 
FINA Bancorp will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the merger is pending.
 
Uncertainty about the effect of the merger on employees and customers may have an adverse effect on FINA Bancorp and consequently on 1st Source. These uncertainties may impair FINA Bancorp’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel until the merger is consummated, and could cause customers and others that deal with FINA Bancorp to seek to change existing business relationships with FINA Bancorp. Retention of certain employees may be challenging while the merger is pending, as certain employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with 1st Source. If key employees depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with 1st Source, 1st Source’s business after the merger could be harmed. In addition, the agreement and plan of merger restricts FINA Bancorp from making acquisitions and taking other specified actions until the merger occurs. These restrictions may prevent FINA Bancorp from pursuing attractive business opportunities that may arise before the completion of the merger. Please see the section entitled “The Agreement and Plan of Merger—Conduct of FINA Bancorp Business Pending the Merger” beginning on page 48 of this proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants to which FINA Bancorp is subject.
 
14

 
1st Source may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.
 
To realize the anticipated benefits from the merger, 1st Source must successfully combine the businesses of 1st Source and FINA Bancorp. The anticipated benefits of the merger also depend on the continued operating performance of FINA Bancorp’s businesses after the merger. If 1st Source is not able to successfully combine the businesses of 1st Source and FINA Bancorp, or if FINA Bancorp’s businesses do not perform as anticipated after the merger, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.
 
It is possible that the introduction of new ownership, or arrangements to coordinate the operations of FINA Bancorp with 1st Source’s operations could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of each company’s ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger.
 
The opinion obtained by FINA Bancorp from its financial advisor will not reflect subsequent changes.
 
AFSI, the financial advisor to FINA Bancorp, has delivered a “fairness opinion” to the board of directors of FINA Bancorp. The opinion which is dated [·], 2007, states that, based upon and subject to the assumptions and limitations on review set forth in the opinion, the merger consideration to be paid to FINA Bancorp shareholders is fair, from a financial point of view, to those shareholders. The opinion does not reflect changes that may occur or may have occurred after the date of this opinion, including changes to the operations and prospects of 1st Source or FINA Bancorp, changes in general market and economic conditions or regulatory or other factors. Any such changes, or other factors on which the opinion is based, may alter the relative value of 1st Source and FINA Bancorp.
 
Some of the directors and executive officers of FINA Bancorp may have interests and arrangements that may have influenced their decisions to support or recommend that you approve the merger.
 
The interests of some of the directors and executive officers of FINA Bancorp may be different from those of FINA Bancorp’s shareholders, and directors and officers of FINA Bancorp may be participants in arrangements that are different from, or in addition to, those of FINA Bancorp’s shareholders. These interests are described in more detail in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “The Merger—Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger” beginning on page 30.
 
The agreement and plan of merger limits FINA Bancorp’s ability to pursue alternatives to the merger.
 
The agreement and plan of merger contains provisions that limit FINA Bancorp’s ability to consider competing third-party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of FINA Bancorp. It also would required FINA Bancorp to pay 1st Source a significant termination fee if it determined it was obligated to terminate the merger agreement in order to accept an alternative proposal. See “The Agreement and Plan of Merger—No Solicitation or Other Acquisition Proposals” beginning on page 50 of this proxy statement/prospectus. These provisions might discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of FINA Bancorp from considering or proposing an acquisition even if it were prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share market price than that proposed in the merger, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share price to acquire FINA Bancorp than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.
 
If the merger is not completed by August 31, 2007, either 1st Source or FINA Bancorp may choose not to proceed with the merger.
 
Either 1st Source or FINA Bancorp may terminate the agreement and plan of merger if the merger has not been completed by August 31, 2007, unless the failure of the merger to have been completed has resulted from the failure of the party seeking to terminate the agreement and plan of merger to have performed its obligations. See “The Agreement and Plan of Merger—Termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger,” beginning at page 51 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
 
 
15

 
Regulatory approvals may not be received, may take longer than expected or may impose conditions which are not presently anticipated.
 
The merger must be approved by the Federal Reserve (or that approval must be waived), and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. The Federal Reserve will consider, among other factors, the competitive impact of the merger, the financial and managerial resources of our companies and their subsidiary banks and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. As part of that consideration, we expect that the Federal Reserve will review capital position, safety and soundness, and legal and regulatory compliance, including compliance with anti-money laundering laws.
 
There can be no assurance as to whether this and other regulatory approvals will be received, the timing of those approvals, or whether any conditions will be imposed. Moreover, if conditions imposed by regulatory agencies are unduly burdensome, 1st Source may choose to terminate the merger agreement.
 
FINA Bancorp’s shareholders will have less influence as shareholders of 1st Source than as shareholders of FINA Bancorp.
 
You currently have the right to vote in the election of the board of directors of FINA Bancorp and on other matters affecting FINA Bancorp. The merger will transfer control of FINA Bancorp to 1st Source. If the merger occurs and you receive shares of 1st Source common stock in the merger, you will become a shareholder of 1st Source with a percentage ownership of 1st Source that is much smaller than your percentage ownership of FINA Bancorp. Because of this, you will no longer be able to influence the management policies of FINA Bancorp’s operations (to the extent you were able to do so before the merger), and as a shareholder of 1st Source with a small ownership percentage you will not be able to influence the management policies of 1st Source.
 
Unanticipated costs relating to the merger could reduce 1st Source’s future earnings per share.
 
1st Source believes it has reasonably estimated the likely costs of integrating the operations of FINA Bancorp into 1st Source and the incremental costs of operating as a combined company. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses such as increased personnel costs or increased taxes, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of 1st Source after the merger. If unexpected costs are incurred, the merger could have a significant dilutive effect on 1st Source’s earnings per share. In other words, if the merger is completed and 1st Source incurs unexpected costs and expenses as a result of the merger, 1st Source believes that the earnings per share of 1st Source common stock could be less than they would have been if the merger had not been completed.
 
It is uncertain when you will receive all of the consideration to which you are entitled in the merger.
 
Because of the funds that will be deposited into the escrow account, shareholders of FINA Bancorp may not receive $3,206.57 per share in consideration for their shares in the merger. Furthermore, even if the amount is received, the total price may not be paid to the shareholders for six years following the merger. The escrow account is described in more detail in the section of the proxy statement / prospectus entitled “The Merger - Merger Consideration - Escrow Arrangements” beginning at page 31.
 
Risk Factors Relating to 1st Source
 
Fluctuations in interest rates could reduce 1st Source’s profitability and affect the value of its assets.
 
Like other financial institutions, 1st Source is subject to interest rate risk. Its primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and leases and investments, and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. 1st Source expects to periodically experience imbalances in the interest rate sensitivities of its assets and liabilities and the relationships of various interest rates to each other. Over any defined period of time, its interest-earning assets may be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than its interest-bearing liabilities, or vice-versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying its loan and lease and deposit products may not change to the
 
16

 
same degree over a given time period. In any event, if market interest rates should move contrary to 1st Source’s position, earnings may be negatively affected. In addition, loan and lease volume and quality and deposit volume and mix can be affected by market interest rates as can the businesses of 1st Source’s clients. Changes in levels of market interest rates could have a material adverse affect on 1st Source’s net interest spread, asset quality, origination volume, and overall profitability.
 
Over the last two years, the Federal Reserve increased its target for Federal funds rate 400 basis points. While these short-term market interest rates (which are used as a guide for pricing deposits) have increased, longer-term market interest rates (which are used as a guide for pricing longer-term loans and leases) have not increased at the same rate. If short-term interest rates continue to rise, and if rates on 1st Source deposits and borrowings continue to reprice upwards faster than the rates on long-term loans and leases and investments, 1st Source could experience continued compression of 1st Source’s interest rate spread and net interest margin, which could have a negative effect on its profitability.
 
1st Source principally manages interest rate risk by managing the volume and mix of its earning assets and funding liabilities. In a changing interest rate environment, 1st Source may not be able to manage this risk effectively. If 1st Source is unable to manage interest rate risk effectively, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially harmed.
 
Changes in the level of interest rates also may negatively affect 1st Source’s ability to originate loans and leases, the value of its assets and its ability to realize gains from the sale of assets, all of which ultimately could affect its earnings.
 
 
Future expansion involves risks.
 
In the future, 1st Source may acquire all or part of other financial institutions and may establish de novo branch offices. There could be considerable costs involved in executing 1st Source’s growth strategy. For instance, new branches generally require a period of time to generate sufficient revenues to offset their costs, especially in areas in which 1st Source does not have an established presence. Accordingly, any new branch expansion could be expected to negatively impact earnings for some period of time until the branch reaches certain economies of scale. Acquisitions and mergers involve a number of risks, including the risk that:
 
·  1st Source may incur substantial costs identifying and evaluating potential acquisitions and merger partners, or in evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local managers, and opening new offices;
 
·  1st Source’s estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management, and market risks relating to target institutions may not be accurate;
 
·  There may be substantial lag-time between completing an acquisition or opening a new office and generating sufficient assets and deposits to support costs of the expansion;
 
·  1st Source may not be able to finance an acquisition, or the financing obtained may have an adverse effect on its operating results or cause dilution of existing shareholders;
 
·  The attention of 1st Source management in negotiating a transaction and integrating the operations and personnel of the combining businesses may be diverted from existing business;
 
·  Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market values and; therefore, some dilution of tangible book value and net income per common share may occur in connection with any future transaction;
 
·  1st Source may enter new markets where it lacks local experience;
 
·  1st Source may incur goodwill in connection with an acquisition, or the goodwill it incurs may become impaired, which results in adverse short-term effects on its operating results; or
 
·  1st Source may lose key employees and clients.

17

 
Competition from other financial services providers could adversely impact 1st Source’s results of operations.
 
The banking and financial services business is highly competitive. 1st Source faces competition in making loans and leases, attracting deposits and providing insurance, investment, trust, and other financial services. Increased competition in the banking and financial services businesses may reduce 1st Source’s market share, impair 1st Source’s growth or cause the prices it charges for services to decline. 1st Source’s results of operations may be adversely impacted in future periods depending upon the level and nature of competition it encounters in its various market areas.
 
1st Source is dependent upon the services of its management team.
 
1st Source’s future success and profitability is substantially dependent upon its management and the banking abilities of its senior executives. 1st Source believes that its future results will also depend in part upon its ability to attract and retain highly skilled and qualified management. 1st Source is especially dependent on a limited number of key management personnel, many of whom do not have employment agreements with 1st Source. The loss of the chief executive officer and other senior management and key personnel could have a material adverse impact on 1st Source’s operations because other officers may not have the experience and expertise to readily replace these individuals. Many of these senior officers have primary contact with 1st Source’s clients and are extremely important in maintaining personalized relationships with 1st Source’s client base. The unexpected loss of services of one or more of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on 1st Source’s operations and possibly result in reduced revenues if 1st Source were unable to find suitable replacements promptly. Competition for senior personnel is intense, and 1st Source may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. Changes in key personnel and their responsibilities may be disruptive to 1st Source’s businesses and could have a material adverse effect on its businesses, financial condition, and results of operations.
 
Technology security breaches could expose 1st Source to possible liability and damage its reputation.
 
Any compromise of 1st Source’s security also could deter clients from using 1st Source’s internet banking services that involve the transmission of confidential information. 1st Source relies on standard internet security systems to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmission of data. These precautions may not protect its systems from compromises or breaches of its security measures that could result in damage to 1st Source’s reputation and business.
 
Planned conversion of core data processing systems may involve difficulties or delays that could disrupt 1st Source’s business.
 
Failure to successfully implement a pending project 1st Source has undertaken to replace the majority of its core and ancillary data processing systems, would negatively impact its business. During 2006, 1st Source continued to work toward the implementation of a new core system. Complete conversion is slated for 2007. The replacement of the core systems has wide-reaching impacts on 1st Source’s internal operations and business. 1st Source can provide no assurance that the amount of this investment will not exceed its expectations and result in materially increased levels of expense or asset impairment charges. There is no assurance that this initiative will achieve the expected cost savings or result in a positive return on investment. Additionally, if the new core system does not operate as intended, or is not implemented as planned, there could be disruptions in 1st Source’s business which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.
 
1st Source is subject to credit risks relating to its loan and lease portfolios. If 1st Source’s allowance for credit losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, 1st Source’s earnings could decrease.
 
In the financial services industry, there is always a risk that certain borrowers may not repay borrowings. 1st Source’s reserve for loan and lease losses may not be sufficient to cover the loan and lease losses that it may actually incur. If 1st Source experiences defaults by borrowers in any of its businesses, its earnings could be negatively affected. Changes in local economic conditions could adversely affect credit
 
18

 
quality, particularly in 1st Source’s local business loan and lease portfolio. Changes in national economic conditions could also adversely affect the quality of 1st Source’s loan and lease portfolio and negate, to some extent, the benefits of national diversification through its Specialty Finance Group’s portfolio.
 
Commercial and commercial real estate loans generally involve higher credit risks than residential real estate and consumer loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate or equipment are often dependent upon the successful operation and management of the underlying assets, repayment of such loans may be influenced to a great extent by conditions in the market or the economy.
 
1st Source offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate consumer mortgage loans secured by properties, substantially all of which are located in its primary market area. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans help reduce exposure to changes in interest rates; however, during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase as a result of repricing and the increased payments required from the borrower.
 
Consumer loans can entail risk, particularly in the case of loans that are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets. In these cases, any repossessed collateral may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. The remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower beyond obtaining a deficiency judgment. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy.
 
1st Source’s construction and transportation related lending businesses could be adversely affected by slow downs in the economy. Clients who rely on the use of assets financed through 1st Source’s Specialty Finance Group to produce income could be negatively affected, and 1st Source could experience substantial loan and lease losses. By the nature of the businesses these clients operate in, 1st Source could be adversely affected by continued rapid increases of fuel costs. Since some of the relationships in these industries are large (up to $15 million), a slow down could have a significant adverse impact on 1st Source’s performance.
 
1st Source’s construction and transportation related businesses could be adversely impacted by the negative effects caused by high fuel costs, actual or threatened terrorist attacks, and other destabilizing events. These factors could contribute to the deterioration of the quality of 1st Source’s loan and lease portfolio, as they could have a negative impact on the travel sensitive businesses for which its specialty finance businesses provide financing.
 
In addition, 1st Source’s leasing and equipment financing activity is subject to the risk of cyclical downturns, industry concentration and clumping, and other adverse economic developments affecting these industries and markets. This area of lending, with transportation in particular, is dependent upon general economic conditions and the strength of the travel, construction, and transportation industries.
 
1st Source operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal and local laws and regulations.
 
1st Source is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking authorities. Any change in applicable regulations or federal or state legislation could have a substantial impact on 1st Source and its operations. Additional legislation and regulations may be enacted or adopted in the future that could significantly affect 1st Source’s powers, authority and operations, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations. Further, regulators have significant discretion and power to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws by banks and bank holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. The exercise of this regulatory discretion and power may have a negative impact on 1st Source.

Background of the Merger
Members of the Board of Directors of FINA Bancorp who beneficially own approximately 72.3% of the outstanding shares of FINA Bancorp became interested in liquidating their investment in FINA Bancorp in a manner which would allow the participation of all shareholders of FINA Bancorp. On May 15, 2006 the Board of Directors authorized FINA Bancorp to engage Renninger & Associates as its financial advisor in connection with its efforts to assess its strategic alternatives and to pursue a possible strategic affiliation with other entities, while balancing the needs of its shareholders with the potential impact on FINA Bancorp’s employees, customers and communities.

Renninger & Associates conducted an internal review of FINA Bancorp and, working with FINA Bancorp, prepared a confidential information memorandum containing financial and operating information about FINA Bancorp. In early September 2006, Renninger & Associates, on behalf of FINA Bancorp, began a confidential inquiry by contacting thirty-seven parties about their interest in pursuing a merger. Renninger & Associates developed the list of potential merger partners based on its assessment of each party’s expected financial ability, regulatory acceptability, geographic interest and, with the input of FINA Bancorp, cultural suitability. Twenty of those potential merger partners executed confidentiality agreements, including 1st Source, and received the confidential information memorandum. Seven of those twenty potential merger partners submitted preliminary non-binding indications of interest to acquire FINA Bancorp.

In early October 2006, Renninger & Associates reviewed with the FINA Bancorp board of directors the pricing and terms of each of the seven non-binding indications of interest. After discussion about the merits of the proposals, the FINA Bancorp board chose to provide four potential merger partners (including 1st Source) with access to additional information and management of FINA Bancorp and to answer questions about the operations of FINA Bancorp. Three potential merger partners ultimately completed due diligence procedures during the month of November 2006.

In early December 2006, two potential merger partners, including 1st Source, elected to significantly improve and refine their respective proposals. On December 16, 2006 the board of directors of FINA Bancorp met with Renninger & Associates and its legal counsel to discuss and analyze financial and non-financial aspects of the two superior proposals. In addition to engaging AFSI to provide a fairness opinion, the board of directors directed Renninger & Associates to have further discussions with and seek clarifications from the two potential merger partners and to arrange oral presentations. Oral presentations were conducted in late December 2006.

On January 6, 2007 the board of directors of FINA Bancorp met again with Renninger & Associates for further discussion and analysis of the two proposals. FINA Bancorp’s board of directors determined that 1st Source’s proposal was acceptable and further discussions commenced on more complete terms. Negotiation of the merger agreement commenced between the parties and their counsel in mid-January 2007.

During January 2007, Renninger & Associates, AFSI, and legal counsel conducted a review of certain information regarding 1st Source at 1st Source’s headquarters. FINA Bancorp (represented by Renninger & Associates), 1st Source and their respective counsel negotiated the terms of the merger agreement and related documents and FINA Bancorp and 1st Source prepared their disclosure schedules to the merger agreement.

On February 17, 2007, FINA Bancorp’s board of directors met with Renninger & Associates, AFSI, and legal counsel to review the terms of the merger agreement in detail. AFSI provided an oral opinion as to the fairness of the proposed transaction to FINA Bancorp shareholders from a financial point of view.

On February 19, 2007, FINA Bancorp’s board of directors met again with Renninger & Associates and legal counsel to discuss the proposed acquisition terms and voted to approve the agreement and plan of
 
25

 
merger. They authorized Wayne B. Welter, as president of FINA Bancorp, to execute the agreement in the form presented to the board. All but one of the directors voted for the merger. The parties executed and publicly announced the agreement and plan of merger later that day.

FINA Bancorp’s Reasons for the Merger and Recommendation of the Board of Directors 
 
FINA Bancorp’s board of directors determined that the merger agreement and the merger consideration were in the best interests of FINA Bancorp and its shareholders and recommends that FINA Bancorp shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. One director of FINA Bancorp voted against the merger agreement and recommendation.

In its deliberations and in making its determination, FINA Bancorp’s board of directors considered many factors including, without limitation, the following:

·  
the business, earnings, operations, financial condition, management, prospects, capital levels and asset quality of both FINA Bancorp and 1st Source;

·  
1st Source’s access to capital and managerial resources relative to that of FINA Bancorp;

·  
the premium represented by the value of the merger consideration over the current book value of FINA Bancorp common stock and the trading prices of the 1st Source Common Stock prior to the announcement of the merger;

·  
its desire to provide shareholders with the prospects for greater future appreciation on their investments in FINA Bancorp common stock than the amount the board of directors believes that FINA Bancorp could achieve independently;

·  
the greater liquidity of 1st Source common stock, which is traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market;

·  
the oral opinion delivered by AFSI that the merger consideration is fair, from a financial standpoint, to the shareholders of FINA Bancorp;

·  
FINA Bancorp’s potential to better serve its customers and enhance its competitive position in the communities in which it operates due to 1st Source’s more diverse financial products and services;

·  
the effect of the merger on FINA Bancorp’s employees, customers and community; and

·  
1st Source’s long-term growth strategy.

The above discussion of the information and factors considered by FINA Bancorp’s board of directors is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes all material factors considered by the board in arriving at its determination to approve, and to recommend that the FINA Bancorp shareholders vote to approve the merger agreement and related transactions. The FINA Bancorp board of directors did not assign any relative or specific weights to the above factors, and individual directors may have given differing weights to different factors.

The FINA Bancorp board of directors recommends that FINA Bancorp’s shareholders approve the merger agreement and the related transactions.
 
1st Source’s Reasons for the Merger
 
1st Source is a locally controlled, regional bank holding company serving communities in Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. Acquisition of FINA Bancorp, and its subsidiary, First National Bank,
 
26

 
Valparaiso, provides 1st Source with an important opportunity to acquire another locally controlled financial institution with a complementary geographic footprint and valuable depositary relationships. 1st Source believes that its culture, as a business organization, is consistent with the existing culture of FINA Bancorp and First National Bank, Valparaiso as a business organization.

Opinion of FINA Bancorp’s Financial Advisor
 
FINA Bancorp retained AFSI, LLC, d/b/a Austin Financial Services (“AFSI”) to act as its financial advisor for purposes of rendering a fairness opinion. AFSI is a nationally recognized investment banking firm specializing in the banking and financial services industry. In the ordinary course of its investment banking business, AFSI is regularly engaged in the valuation of financial institutions and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and other corporate transactions. FINA Bancorp selected AFSI as its financial advisor based upon AFSI’s qualifications, expertise and reputation in such capacity. Neither AFSI nor any of its affiliates has a material relationship with FINA Bancorp or 1st Source or any material financial interest in FINA Bancorp or 1st Source.
 
In connection with AFSI’s engagement, FINA Bancorp asked AFSI to evaluate the fairness of the merger consideration to FINA Bancorp shareholders from a financial point of view. At the February 17, 2007 meeting of the board to evaluate the merger, AFSI delivered to the FINA Bancorp board its oral opinion that the merger consideration was fair to FINA Bancorp shareholders from a financial point of view. Subsequently, the FINA Bancorp board voted to approve the merger and executed the agreement and plan of merger on February 19, 2006. AFSI provided its written opinion on [·], 2007.
 
You should consider the following when reading the discussion of AFSI’s opinion in this document:
 
 
 
The summary of the opinion of AFSI set forth in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion that is attached as Appendix B to this document. You should read the opinion in its entirety for a full discussion to the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered and qualification and limitation on the review undertaken by AFSI in connection with its opinion.
 
 
 
AFSI’s opinion does not address the merits of the merger relative to other business strategies, whether or not considered by FINA Bancorp’s board, nor does it address the decision by FINA Bancorp’s board to proceed with the merger.
 
 
 
AFSI’s opinion to FINA Bancorp’s board of directors rendered in connection with the merger does not constitute a recommendation to any FINA Bancorp shareholder as to how he or she should vote at the special meeting.
 
The preparation of a financial fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. It is therefore not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. In connection with rendering its opinion, AFSI performed a variety of financial analyses. AFSI believes that its analyses must be considered together as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and the facts considered in its analyses, without considering all other factors and analyses, could create an incomplete or inaccurate view of the analyses and the process underlying the rendering of AFSI’s opinion.
 
In performing its analyses, AFSI made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions, and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of FINA Bancorp and may not be realized. Any estimates contained in AFSI’s analyses are not necessarily predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than the estimates. Estimates of values of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the prices at which the companies or their securities may actually be sold. Except as described below, none of the analyses performed by AFSI was assigned a greater significance by AFSI than any other. The relative importance or weight given to these analyses by AFSI is not necessarily reflected by the order of presentation of the analyses herein (and the corresponding results). The summaries of financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables should be read together with the text of those summaries.
 
27

 
AFSI has relied, without independent verification, upon the accuracy and completeness of the information it reviewed for the purpose of rendering its opinion. AFSI did not undertake any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of FINA Bancorp or 1st Source nor was it furnished with any appraisals.
 
AFSI is not an expert in the evaluation of loan portfolios, including under-performing or non-performing assets, charge-offs or the allowance for loan losses; it has not reviewed any individual credit files of FINA Bancorp or 1st Source; and it has assumed that the allowances of FINA Bancorp and 1st Source are in the aggregate adequate to cover potential losses. AFSI’s opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions existing on the date of its opinion and on information as of various earlier dates made available to it which is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.
 
In rendering its opinion, AFSI made the following assumptions:
 
 
 
that the merger will be accounted for as a purchase in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
 
 
 
that all material governmental, regulatory and other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the merger would be obtained without any adverse effect on FINA Bancorp, 1st Source or on the anticipated benefits of the merger;
 
 
 
that FINA Bancorp had provided it with all of the information prepared by FINA Bancorp or its other representatives that might be material to AFSI in its review; and
 
 
 
that the financial projections it reviewed were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgment of the management of FINA Bancorp as to the future operating and financial performance of FINA Bancorp.
 
In connection with its opinion dated ________, 2007, AFSI reviewed:
 
 
 
the agreement and plan of merger;
 
 
 
the audited financial statements of 1st Source for the five years ended December 31, 2006;
 
 
 
Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income of First National Bank, Valparaiso for the five years ended December 31, 2006;
 
 
 
Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income of 1st Source Bank for the year ended December 31, 2006;
 
 
 
the audited financial statements of FINA Bancorp for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005; and
 
 
 
financial and operating information with respect to the business, operations and prospects of FINA Bancorp and 1st Source.
 
In addition, AFSI:
 
 
 
held discussions with members of management of FINA Bancorp and 1st Source regarding the historical and current business operations, financial condition and future prospects of their respective companies;
 
 
 
reviewed the historical market prices and trading activity for the common stock of FINA Bancorp and 1st Source;
 
 
 
compared the results of operations of FINA Bancorp and 1st Source with those of certain financial institutions which it deemed to be relevant;
 
 
 
compared the financial terms of the merger with the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain other recent business combinations of financial institutions; and
 
 
 
conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and examinations as AFSI deemed appropriate.
 
As part of preparing its fairness opinion, AFSI performed due diligence investigations in January, 2007 including a visitation to 1st Source on January 25, 2007. As part of the due diligence, AFSI requested
 
28

 
information regarding the financial condition and performance of the 1st Source Corporation including budgets, an allowance for loan losses reconciliation and delinquent loans; information regarding pending or potential environmental, shareholder, regulatory and general litigation or claims; information regarding any outstanding stock options or planned programs; board and committee minutes; director meeting information packages; information regarding regulatory administrative orders or other actions imposed on 1st Source Corporation or its affiliates; regulatory exams; and other items.

In conjunction with the on-site review of these materials, AFSI met with 1st Source Corporation officers Richard Q. Stifel, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer; Larry E. Lentych, Senior Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer; and John B. Griffith, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. In addition, AFSI addressed a series of questions regarding any current, known or suspected and undisclosed issues or matters that would have a materially adverse impact on the current or future financial condition or performance of 1st Source Bank to 1st Source Corporation officers Lentych and Griffith.

Valuation Methodology
 
The following is a summary of all material analyses performed by AFSI in connection with its written opinion provided to the FINA Bancorp board of directors dated [·], 2007. The summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by AFSI.

The principal step in determining the fair market value of FINA Bancorp is to evaluate its wholly owned subsidiary, First National Bank, Valparaiso. First National Bank, Valparaiso represented 96.26% of the total assets (excluding cash) of FINA Bancorp at December 31, 2006. In evaluating FINA Bancorp, AFSI considered numerous appraisal methods and eventually determined that two methods were proper in calculating FINA Bancorp’s fair market value. The two selected methods were the discounted cash flow and the adjusted book value.

Discounted Cash Flow. Using a discounted future cash flow analysis, AFSI projected cash flows of FINA Bancorp’s wholly owned subsidiary bank, First National Bank, five years into the future. The principal behind the discounted future cash flow analysis is that the worth of a business is equal to the present value of the future expected cash flows of the business. Besides determining five years of future cash flows, AFSI also estimated First National Bank’s residual value. The residual value represents the value of the institution beyond the explicit forecast period. This value is based on the cash flow during the year following the final projected year. The steps involved in determining First National Bank’s value utilizing the discounted future cash flow analysis included the following: (1) the projected earnings in excess of the amount necessary to maintain a 6.00% equity capital to asset ratio were added to book charges such as depreciation less any projected capital expenditures in order to determine future cash flow; (2) the future cash flows were then converted to a present value equivalent using a discount rate of 15.68%, which was determined from the use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”); (3) the residual value was then calculated by dividing the projected cash flows for the 6th year by the capitalization rate. The capitalization rate not only includes all aspects of the CAPM but also reflects the long-term income growth prospects of First National Bank, as well as specific company risk factors; (4) the present value equivalent of the projected residual value was calculated using the 15.68% discount rate; and (5) the present value of the cash flows and the residual value were added together. The value per share of First National Bank’s common stock resulting from this analysis was $58.4 million.

Adjusted Book Value. AFSI also determined the fair market value of First National Bank’s utilizing the adjusted book method as an alternative valuation method. The adjusted book value approach requires a three-step process. First, the book value is determined. This figure, representing the summary measure of stockholders’ claims against the assets on a historical cost basis, is derived from the December 31, 2006 balance sheet. Second, assets and liabilities are restated to their fair market values. The adjusted book value calculation considers each major asset and liability account classification. Finally, additional “off-balance sheet” adjustments are calculated, if necessary. The value per share of First National Bank’s common stock resulting from this analysis was $95.5 million.
 
29


AFSI accorded an equal weight to each of the values derived from its analysis in order to arrive at an aggregate value of First National Bank. The weightings were based on AFSI’s review of the financial position, history and recent performance of First National Bank. The sum of the weighted values or $76.9 million equates to the fair market value of First National Bank as of December 31, 2006. The sum of the weighted values equates to the fair market value of First National Bank as a going concern. Subsequently, AFSI replaced the book value of First National Bank as represented in FINA Bancorp’s December 31, 2006, parent company only balance sheet with the fair market value of Fist National Bank. This substitution results in a fair market value of FINA Bancorp as a going concern of $80.3 million.

Comparable Transactions. AFSI also analyzed certain other merger/acquisition transactions that have consummated over the past two years in the Midwest (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin) which involved target financial institutions with assets between $250 million to $1 billion. AFSI compared the median transaction multiples of book value and earnings for these comparable transactions to FINA Bancorp’s book value and last 12 months earnings. These multiples, when applied to FINA Bancorp’s book value and last 12 months earnings as of and for the twelve months ending December 31, 2006, suggest the purchase consideration received by FINA Bancorp would be slightly below comparable transaction values on a book value basis adjusted for the higher ratio of equity to assets maintained at FINA Bancorp and well in excess of transaction values on an earnings basis even after adjusting for “normalized” earnings. The results produced in this analysis do not purport to be indicative of actual value or expected value of FINA Bancorp shares of common stock.
 
Summary of Proposed Merger. The aggregate purchase price to be paid by 1st Source in the merger will be approximately $135 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the merger agreement. The cash portion of the merger consideration will be between 58% and 60% of the aggregate purchase consideration. After setting aside between $4 million and $5.5 million in escrow for purposes of adjusting the purchase price and providing indemnity to 1st Source, the balance of the purchase price will be allocated among the FINA Bancorp shareholders based on their written elections whether to take cash or 1st Source common stock as consideration for their shares. Depending on the elections by all of the FINA Bancorp shareholders, the cash and stock consideration may be reallocated among the FINA Bancorp shareholders to ensure that the total mix of cash and stock consideration is within the parameters required by the merger agreement. The actual number of shares to be issued by 1st Source in the merger will depend in part on the average closing price of 1st Source common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the ten full trading days ending on the third full trading day before the completion of the merger.
 
Based on the results of the various analyses described above, AFSI concluded that the consideration to be received by FINA Bancorp shareholders under the agreement and plan of merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of FINA Bancorp.
 
The opinion expressed by AFSI was based upon market, economic and other relevant considerations as they existed and could be evaluated as of the date of the opinion. Events occurring after the date of issuance of the opinion, including but not limited to, changes affecting the securities markets, the results of operations or material changes in the assets or liabilities of FINA Bancorp or 1st Source could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing the opinion.
 
AFSI will receive a fee equal to $50,000.00 plus out-of-pocket expenses incurred for all services performed in connection with the rendering of the fairness opinion. In addition, FINA Bancorp has agreed to indemnify AFSI and its directors, officers and employees, from liability in connection with the transaction, and to hold AFSI harmless from any losses, actions, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities related to any of AFSI’s acts or decisions made in good faith and in the best interest of FINA Bancorp.
 
Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger
 
Certain of FINA Bancorp’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, their interests as shareholders of FINA Bancorp. FINA Bancorp’s board of directors was aware of these interests and took them into account at the time they approved the agreement
 
30

 
and plan of merger. These interests are the continued director and officer liability coverage discussed below under “The Merger - Indemnification and Insurance.”
 
Indemnification and Insurance
 
For a period of six years following the merger, 1st Source will be obligated to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of FINA Bancorp and its subsidiaries, against expenses, claims, or liabilities as incurred, in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or before the merger (including the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement), to the same extent as such persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses pursuant to the articles of incorporation or by-laws or FINA Bancorp and its subsidiaries and any indemnification agreements with FINA Bancorp or its subsidiaries in effect on the date of the merger agreement. Certain potential claims identified by FINA Bancorp to 1st Source, if a claim for indemnification is made with respect to such matters, will reduce the indemnity escrow amount. See the “The Merger - Merger Consideration - Escrow Arrangements”, below. FINA Bancorp has undertaken to obtain tail coverage, prior to the merger, in addition to its existing director and officer liability insurance coverage, to provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance through the sixth anniversary of the merger providing for reimbursement of such officers and directors with respect to such expenses and claims
 
Completion and Effectiveness of the Merger
 
The merger will be completed when all of the conditions to the completion of the merger are satisfied or waived, including adoption of the agreement and plan of merger by the shareholders of FINA Bancorp. The merger will become effective upon the filing of appropriate articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana.
 
We intend to complete the merger as quickly as possible after FINA Bancorp’s special meeting and plan to complete the merger during the second quarter of 2007, although delays may occur.
 
Merger Consideration
 
The aggregate purchase price provided for in the merger agreement is approximately $135 million, subject to adjustment (up or down), on a dollar for dollar basis, to the extent that the shareholders' equity of FINA Bancorp is greater than or less than a targeted figure of $69,051,000. For purposes of the agreement, shareholders' equity is defined as shareholders' equity as recorded on the balance sheet of FINA Bancorp in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; provided that such figure will be (i) adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on securities, (ii) reduced by any loss in fair market value of FINA Bancorp's nonoperating real estate if 1st Source's appraisal of such real estate is less than 95% of the value of such real estate on FINA Bancorp's books, and (iii) reduced by any unrecorded liability for obligations arising upon a change of control. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, FINA Bancorp does not expect the adjustment for shareholders' equity to be material. Therefore the aggregate purchase price is expected to be approximately $135 million. There are 42,101 shares of common stock of FINA Bancorp outstanding on the date hereof, so if the aggregate purchase price after adjustment were $135 million, and there is no change in the number of outstanding shares before the effective date of the merger, FINA Bancorp shareholders would receive $3,206.57 per share in consideration for their shares in the merger.
 
Escrow Arrangements
 
Of the total purchase price, 1st Source will first set aside cash in an escrow account for two purposes. First, $4 million will be set aside as an indemnity escrow to protect 1st Source against certain post-closing contingencies, discussed below. Second, up to $1.5 million (with the specific amount to be specifically determined shortly prior to closing depending on FINA Bancorp's estimation of its closing date shareholders’ equity) will be set aside for potential remittance to 1st Source in the event that FINA Bancorp's shareholders equity as of closing is less than an estimated amount to be determined prior to closing of the merger. Such amount is called the purchase price adjustment escrow. So if the full $1.5 million is placed in escrow for the purchase price adjustment (along with the $4 million indemnity escrow),
 
31

 
a total of $5.5 million in cash will be placed in escrow. The balance of the purchase price (sometimes called the "initial purchase consideration", which would amount to $129.5 million, in this example) will become payable to shareholders of FINA Bancorp in the form of 1st Source common stock, or cash, or both, based on the allocation procedures and provisions of the merger agreement, summarized below.
 
You will be given the opportunity to elect whether you wish to receive shares of 1st Source common stock for some or all of your FINA Bancorp shares, or cash for some or all of your FINA Bancorp shares, as further described below. Each share of FINA Bancorp stock for which the purchase consideration is paid in cash will become entitled to receive an amount equal to the initial purchase consideration divided by the number of outstanding shares of FINA Bancorp stock as of the closing. If there continue to be 42,101 shares of FINA Bancorp stock outstanding, and the initial purchase consideration, as indicated in the foregoing example, were $129.5 million, then FINA Bancorp shareholders receiving cash would become entitled to receive $3,075.94 for each share of FINA Bancorp stock surrendered in the merger.
 
Each share of FINA Bancorp stock for which the purchase consideration is paid in the form of 1st Source common stock will become entitled to receive the number of shares of 1st Source common stock determined by dividing the amount of cash that would be paid in respect of FINA Bancorp shares receiving cash (or $3,075.94 in the foregoing example) by the value per share of 1st Source common stock at closing, subject to an upper and lower threshold. The value of 1st Source common stock as of closing will be equal to the average of the closing prices of 1st Source common stock for a period of 10 full trading days ending three full trading days before the date of the closing. The lower threshold is $25.663, so if the value of 1st Source common stock at closing is in fact less than $25.663, it will nevertheless be deemed to be $25.663 for purposes of determining the amount of 1st Source common stock to be issued to holders of FINA Bancorp common stock receiving 1st Source common stock (subject to 1st Source’s obligation to provide supplemental consideration as described below). Similarly, the upper threshold is $32.663, so if the value of 1st Source common stock at closing is in fact greater than $32.663, it will nevertheless be deemed to be $32.663 for purposes of determining the amount of 1st Source common stock to be issued to holders of FINA Bancorp common stock receiving 1st Source common stock. The value of 1st Source common stock, determined based on the foregoing formula, as of the date of the merger agreement was $29.163. If the value of 1st Source common stock at closing were $29.163, then each share of FINA Bancorp common stock surrendered in exchange for 1st Source common stock would be exchanged for 105.474 shares of 1st Source common stock. Only a whole number of shares of 1st Source common stock will be issued to any holder of FINA Bancorp shares and 1st Source will pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares.
 
Electing to Receive Cash or 1st Source Stock in the Merger
 
A form of Letter of Transmittal and Election is included with this proxy statement/prospectus. If you wish to make an election whether to receive cash or 1st Source common stock for your shares of FINA Bancorp common stock, you must: (i) complete your Letter of Transmittal and Election form in accordance with the accompanying instructions, and (ii) return your completed, signed, Letter of Transmittal and Election, together with your original certificates for shares of FINA Bancorp common stock covered by the Letter of Transmittal and Election, to the exchange agent. You must do so no later than __________, 2007. If you do not submit your Letter of Transmittal and Election before such deadline, your FINA Bancorp shares will be deemed “no election” shares and cash and stock consideration will be allocated to your shares based on the allocation procedures described below.
 
Allocation Procedures
 
The allocation of cash and 1st Source common stock as consideration for shares of FINA Bancorp will be made generally with a view to assuring that no less than 40% and no more than 42% of the aggregate purchase consideration (including the amounts set aside in escrow) will be paid in the form of 1st Source common stock and the balance will be paid in cash. 1st Source Bank, acting as the exchange agent, will make allocations of cash and stock consideration consistent with the following rules.
 
32

 
If FINA Bancorp shareholders electing to receive cash for their shares would be entitled to receive cash exceeding 60% of the total purchase consideration, then all FINA Bancorp shareholders electing to receive 1st Source Common Stock, and all FINA Bancorp shareholders holding shares for which no valid election was made, will receive shares of 1st Source common stock in exchange for their shares. The exchange agent will then select a portion of the shares for which holders elected to receive cash, on a pro rata basis, to instead receive 1st Source common stock, so that no more than 60% of the total purchase consideration is paid in cash.
 
If FINA Bancorp shareholders electing to receive cash for their shares would be entitled to receive cash amounting to less than 58% of the total purchase consideration, then all FINA Bancorp shareholders electing to receive cash will receive cash. Next, the exchange agent will allocate cash to those shares of FINA Bancorp for which no valid election was made to the extent necessary to ensure that 58% of the total consideration will be paid in cash. If less than all "no election" shares would need to be allocated cash consideration to ensure the percentage of cash purchase consideration is not less than 58%, then the exchange agent will select among the "no election" shares randomly to determine the "no election" shares for which cash will be paid. If the exchange agent allocates cash to all of the "no election" shares and the percentage of cash purchase consideration is still less than 58%, then the exchange agent will select a portion of the shares for which holders elected to receive 1st Source common stock, on a pro rata basis, to instead receive cash, so that no less than 58% of the total purchase consideration is paid in cash.
 
If FINA Bancorp shareholders electing to receive cash for their shares would be entitled to receive cash amounting to between 58% and 60% of the total purchase consideration, then all shares of FINA Bancorp common stock the holders of which elected to receive 1st Source common stock, and all shares for which no valid election was made, will receive shares of 1st Source common stock; and all FINA Bancorp common stock the holders of which elected to receive cash, will receive cash.
 
1st Source and the FINA Bancorp shareholders who executed the voting agreement with 1st Source as described herein may agree, in advance of the allocation of cash or stock consideration described above, that, in lieu of pro rata allocation by the exchange agent of consideration to FINA Bancorp shareholders (in cash or stock) in a form different from what such shareholders elected as contemplated above, such reallocations will first be made in respect of shares held by holders who are party to such voting agreement.
 
Supplemental Consideration in the Event of a Decline in the Value of 1st Source Common Stock
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing allocation rules, if the value of 1st Source common stock at closing, determined in accordance with the merger agreement, is less than $25.663, 1st Source will be required to remit additional consideration to FINA Bancorp shareholders receiving 1st Source common stock, to cover the deficiency between the value of 1st Source common stock at closing and $25.663. 1st Source will decide whether to pay such differential in the form of common stock, cash, or both. If, however, 1st Source's election to allocate this portion of the consideration under this provision would cause the merger to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization with respect to the 1st Source common stock being issued in the merger, then all holders of FINA Bancorp common stock will receive cash consideration and will not receive any 1st Source common stock.
 
Exchange Process
 
If the exchange agent has not received your Letter of Transmittal and Election prior to the effective time of the merger, it will mail an additional letter of transmittal to you at that time. To become eligible to receive your merger consideration from 1st Source you will be required to complete and execute a Letter of Transmittal and return it to the exchange agent, together with your original certificates for FINA Bancorp shares you are submitting for exchange.
 
The exchange agent will cause the consideration allocated to your FINA Bancorp shares to be paid or issued to you approximately 10 business days following the effective time (if you submitted a properly
 
33

 
completed Letter of Transmittal and Election, together with your original FINA Bancorp share certificates prior to the effective time); or within 10 business days following its receipt, after the effective time, of your properly completed Letter of Transmittal together with your original FINA Bancorp share certificates.
 
Price Adjustment
 
The merger agreement provides for a mechanism to adjust the purchase price based on the amount by which FINA Bancorp's shareholders equity, as described above, at the closing, is more or less than $69,051,000. Following closing, 1st Source will make an initial determination of the total purchase price, based on its assessment of FINA Bancorp's shareholders' equity at closing. It will provide this statement to the FINA Bancorp shareholder’s agent for review. If the shareholder’s agent disagrees with this statement, the agreement provides for a process to resolve any disagreement through negotiations or, if necessary, referral to an independent accountant for a neutral, binding determination. Once the final purchase price is determined, if a decrease in the price is required, the escrow agent will release the amount of the deficit to 1st Source from the purchase price adjustment escrow amount (described above as an amount up to $1.5 million set aside for such purpose in connection with the closing) plus 5% interest from the closing date. If an increase in the purchase price is required, 1st Source will remit the amount of the increase to the escrow agent, plus 5% interest from the closing date. The escrow agent will then distribute any remaining portion of the purchase price adjustment escrow amount (and any payment made by 1st Source representing a purchase price increase) among the former holders of FINA Bancorp common stock, ratably according to their interests.
 
Indemnity Escrow
 
The escrow agent will retain the escrow indemnity amount of $4 million in the escrow account in accordance with the escrow agreement. If 1st Source, its subsidiaries (including the surviving corporation) or certain affiliates suffer damages or costs of litigation or investigation due to any of the following claims, 1st Source will be entitled to compensation for such claims or damages from the escrow indemnity amount, so long as it provides notice of its claim for indemnity on or before September 18, 2012. Claims for which 1st Source will be entitled to be indemnified are (i) any claim or action (whether pending or threatened) disclosed by FINA Bancorp in connection with the merger agreement; or (ii) any claim or action related to dissenting shares. Indemnity of 1st Source for claims in respect of dissenting shares will be limited to the amount (if any) the holder of any dissenting shares recovers pursuant to the exercise of dissenters’ rights in excess of the amount of consideration to which such holder is otherwise entitled under the merger agreement. 1st Source will also be entitled to indemnity in respect of any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of FINA Bancorp under the merger agreement; provided that 1st Source gives notice of such claim before the completion of the purchase price adjustment procedures under the merger agreement. Any portion of the escrow indemnity amount remaining in the custody of the escrow agent at September 18, 2012, not required to compensate 1st Source in respect of claims or breaches for which it has previously provided notice (and as to which it has not been released) will be distributed to the former holders of FINA Bancorp common stock, ratably in accordance with their interests, as promptly as practicable in accordance with the escrow agreement.

your original stock certificates for FINA Bancorp common stock being exchanged in the merger to the exchange agent, and such materials must be received by the exchange agent by _____________, 2007. The exchange agent is:

1st Source Bank
P.O. Box 1602
South Bend, Indiana 46601
Attention: Larry Lentych
 
If you desire to change your election, you may do so by submitting a replacement Letter of Transmittal and Election form, properly completed, to the exchange agent in advance of the deadline. If you wish to revoke an earlier election, and not to make a different election, you may do so by providing written notice to the exchange agent, and your certificates for FINA Bancorp stock submitted with your original Letter of Transmittal and Election will be returned to you upon request.
 
If you submit your Letter of Transmittal and Election form, properly completed, with your original stock certificates for FINA Bancorp common stock being exchanged in the merger, on or before ___________, 2007, when the merger is completed, you will need to take no further action and your FINA Bancorp stock certificates will be cancelled and you will receive the merger consideration to which you are entitled under the merger agreement. If, for any reason, the merger is not completed and the merger agreement is terminated, your certificates for FINA Bancorp common stock will be promptly returned to you.
 
You are not required to submit your Letter of Transmittal and Election in advance of the above date unless you wish to make an election regarding the form of consideration you wish to receive for your shares of FINA Bancorp common stock in the merger. If you do not submit your Letter of Transmittal and Election by such date, then, after the merger is completed, the exchange agent will mail to you a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in surrendering your FINA Bancorp stock certificates in exchange for the merger consideration. When you deliver your FINA Bancorp stock certificates to the exchange agent along with a properly executed letter of transmittal and any other required documents, your FINA Bancorp stock certificates will be cancelled and you will receive the merger consideration to which you are entitled under the agreement and plan of merger.
 
Dividends and Distributions
 
FINA Bancorp shareholders are not entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions on 1st Source common stock until the merger is completed and the FINA Bancorp shareholder has surrendered its FINA Bancorp stock certificates in exchange for 1st Source stock certificates. If there is any dividend or other distribution on 1st Source common stock with a record date after the merger and a payment date prior to the date of surrender of the FINA Bancorp stock certificates in exchange for 1st Source stock certificates, the FINA Bancorp shareholder will receive it with respect to the whole shares of 1st Source common stock issued to such shareholder promptly after they are issued. If there is any dividend or other distribution on 1st Source common stock with a record date after the merger and a payment date after the date of surrender of FINA Bancorp stock certificates in exchange for 1st Source stock certificates, the FINA Bancorp shareholder will receive it with respect to the whole shares of 1st Source common stock issued to the shareholder promptly after the payment date.

Withholding
 
The exchange agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the merger consideration payable to any FINA Bancorp shareholder the amounts it is required to deduct and withhold under any federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If the exchange agent withholds any amounts, these amounts will be treated for all purposes of the merger as having been paid to the shareholders from whom they were withheld.
 
35

 
No Fractional Shares Will Be Issued
 
1st Source will not issue fractional shares of 1st Source common stock in the merger. There will be no dividends or voting rights with respect to any fractional common shares. For each fractional share of common stock that would otherwise be issued, 1st Source will pay cash in an amount equal to the fraction of a whole share that would otherwise have been issued, multiplied by the average closing sale prices of one share of 1st Source common stock for the ten consecutive trading days on the Nasdaq Global Select Market immediately proceeding the third trading day before the completion date of the merger. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash paid for fractional shares.
 
Lost, Stolen or Destroyed FINA Bancorp Stock Certificates
 
If you have lost a certificate representing FINA Bancorp common stock, or it has been stolen or destroyed, 1st Source will issue to you the common stock or cash payable under the agreement and plan of merger if you submit an affidavit of that fact and post a bond in such reasonable amount as 1st Source or the exchange agent may direct to protect against any claim that may be made against 1st Source or the exchange agent about ownership of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate.
 
Accounting Treatment
 
1st Source will account for the merger as a purchase. 1st Source will make a determination of the fair value of FINA Bancorp’s assets and assumed liabilities in order to allocate the purchase price of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. To the extent that the total purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, 1st Source may record goodwill. After the merger, 1st Source will include the results of FINA Bancorp’s operations in its consolidated results of operations.
 
Management After the Merger
 
Neither the board of directors nor the executive officers of 1st Source will change as a result of the merger. Information about 1st Source’s directors and executive officers, including biographical information, executive compensation and relationships and related transactions between management and the company, can be found in 1st Source’s proxy statement for the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders and annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. For more details about how you can obtain copies of 1st Source’s annual meeting proxy statement and Form 10-K, see “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 65.
 
Material Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger
 
The following is a summary of the material anticipated United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to a U.S. holder of FINA Bancorp’s common stock that surrenders shares of FINA Bancorp common stock for shares of 1st Source common stock or cash in the merger. This summary does not address any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. The summary represents general information only and is based on the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed United States Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions in effect as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect) and any change could affect the continuing validity of this discussion.
 
For purposes of this summary, the term “U.S. holder” means:
 
 
 
a citizen or resident of the United States;
 
 
 
a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, created or organized under the laws of the United States or of any state or the District of Columbia;
 
 
 
a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) was in existence on August 20, 1996 and has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to continue to be treated as a United States person; or
 
 
 
an estate that is subject to United States federal income tax on its income regardless of its source.
 
36

 
If a partnership (including for this purpose any other entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds FINA Bancorp common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partners and the activities of the partnership. If a U.S. holder is a partner in a partnership holding FINA Bancorp common stock, such holder should consult its tax advisor.
 
This discussion only addresses FINA Bancorp’s shareholders that hold their shares of FINA Bancorp common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. Further, this summary does not address all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a FINA Bancorp shareholder in light of such holder’s particular circumstances or that may be applicable to holders subject to special treatment under United States federal income tax laws (including, for example, tax-exempt organizations, mutual funds, a trader in securities who elects to apply a mark to market method of accounting, brokers or dealers in securities or foreign currencies, banks, insurance companies, financial institutions or persons that hold their FINA Bancorp common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction, an S corporation, partnership or other pass through entity (or an investor in an S corporation, partnership or other pass through entity), holders subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, holders that exercise appraisal rights, or holders who acquired their FINA Bancorp common stock through the exercise of an employee stock option, through a tax qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation). In addition, no information is provided in this proxy statement/prospectus with respect to the tax consequences of the merger under applicable state, local or non-United States laws. No ruling has been or will be requested by FINA Bancorp or 1st Source from the IRS regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below.
 
HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER TO THEM, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND OF CHANGES IN THOSE LAWS.
 
The merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code for United States federal income tax purposes, but the merger will not qualify as a reorganization if the merger consideration consists solely of cash (as described below). It is a condition to FINA Bancorp’s obligation to consummate the merger as a reorganization that it receive an opinion from tax counsel, dated as of the closing date of the merger, to the effect that the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In addition, the opinion must state that FINA Bancorp and 1st Source are parties to such reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and that no gain or loss shall be recognized by the shareholders of FINA Bancorp who receive shares of 1st Source in exchange for shares of FINA Bancorp common stock except to the extent of any cash received for such shares of FINA Bancorp common stock. These opinions will be based on representation letters provided by FINA Bancorp and 1st Source and on customary factual assumptions. If any of the representations or assumptions upon which the opinions are based are inconsistent with the actual facts existing at the effective time of the merger, the tax consequences of the merger as a reorganization could be adversely affected.
 
The determination by tax advisors as to whether the proposed merger will be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code will depend upon the facts and law existing at the effective time of the proposed merger unless tax counsel determines that such determination may be made as of the last business day before the Merger Agreement becomes a binding contract in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 1.368-1(e). The opinions are not binding on the IRS or any court and do not preclude the IRS from asserting, or a court from sustaining, a contrary conclusion.
 
The United States federal income tax consequences of the merger depend upon whether the merger consideration includes shares of 1st Source common stock. (See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “Merger Consideration - Allocation Procedures” beginning on page 32.) If the merger consideration consists solely of cash and no 1st Source common stock (an “all-cash transaction”), the merger will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes as discussed below under the heading “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences - Taxable Transaction.” If
 
37

 
the merger consideration consists of the requisite combination of 1st Source common stock and cash, the merger will qualify as a reorganization for United States federal income tax purposes, with the result that the receipt of 1st Source common stock in the merger will be tax free to the FINA Bancorp shareholders as discussed below under the heading “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences - Code Section 368(a) Reorganization.”
 
In deciding whether to approve and adopt the merger agreement, the merger and the related transactions, FINA Bancorp shareholders should consider the possibility that the merger consideration may consist only of cash, in which case the merger will be a taxable transaction. FINA Bancorp shareholders will not be entitled to change their votes in the event the merger is a taxable transaction.
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences -Taxable Transaction
 
If the merger is an all-cash transaction and if 1st Source does not exercise its right in Section 9.09 of the merger agreement to revise the structure or method of effecting the merger, the merger will be a taxable forward merger rather than a reorganization, and FINA Bancorp and its shareholders will recognize taxable gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the merger. If the merger is a taxable forward merger, FINA Bancorp will be deemed for United States federal income tax purposes to have (1) sold all of its assets and (2) distributed the sale proceeds to its shareholders in exchange for their shares of FINA Bancorp common stock in complete liquidation of FINA Bancorp. As a result, FINA Bancorp will recognize gain or loss on such deemed asset sale in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the merger and the FINA Bancorp’s adjusted tax basis in the assets sold. Gain or loss recognized by FINA Bancorp will be capital gain or ordinary income depending on the character of the assets sold and FINA Bancorp’s holding period with respect thereto. Also, each FINA Bancorp shareholder who receives cash proceeds of the deemed asset sale in exchange for all of its shares of FINA Bancorp common stock will recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes in the manner discussed below under the heading “Exchange of FINA Bancorp Common Stock Solely for Cash.”
 
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences - Code Section 368(a) Reorganization
 
Assuming the merger qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, FINA Bancorp and 1st Source will not recognize any gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the merger, except as described below. Assuming the merger is treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, the material United States federal income tax consequences of the merger to U.S. holders of FINA Bancorp common stock are, in general, as follows:
 
Exchange of FINA Bancorp Common Stock Solely for Cash
 
A FINA Bancorp shareholder who exchanges all of its shares of FINA Bancorp common stock solely for cash in the merger will recognize gain or loss on the exchange in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the FINA Bancorp shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares surrendered in exchange therefor. Gain or loss recognized by such a FINA Bancorp shareholder will be capital gain or loss (unless treated as a dividend under Section 302(b) of the Code as discussed below).
 
   
Exchange of FINA Bancorp Common Stock for a Combination of 1st Source Common Stock and Cash
 
A FINA Bancorp shareholder who receives a combination of 1st Source common stock and cash in exchange for all of its shares of FINA Bancorp common stock will recognize gain, if any, (but not loss) in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of cash received in the merger (plus the value of the shareholder’s right to receive escrowed cash if the installment sale rules, open transaction doctrine or any other applicable gain recognition deferral technique do not apply as described below); and (ii) the excess, if any, of (a) the sum of the amount of cash (plus the value of the shareholder’s right to receive escrowed cash if the installment sale rules do not apply as described below) and the fair market value of the 1st Source common stock received in the merger over (b) the FINA Bancorp shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in its FINA Bancorp common stock surrendered in exchange therefor. Such FINA Bancorp shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in the 1st Source common stock received (including any fractional shares deemed
 
38

 
received and exchanged for cash as described below) will be equal to the shareholder’s aggregate tax basis in its FINA Bancorp common stock surrendered, decreased by the amount of any cash received (other than cash received instead of fractional shares of 1st Source common stock) and increased by the amount of any gain recognized (other than gain recognized with respect to cash received instead of fractional shares of 1st Source common stock). Such FINA Bancorp shareholder’s holding period for 1st Source common stock received (including any fractional shares deemed received and exchanged for cash) will include the holding period of the FINA Bancorp common stock surrendered in the merger.
 
Possible Treatment of Exchange of FINA Bancorp Common Stock for Cash as a Dividend
 
Any gain recognized by a FINA Bancorp shareholder will be capital gain unless the FINA Bancorp shareholder’s receipt of cash has the effect of a distribution of a dividend, in which case the gain will be treated as dividends to the extent of the shareholder’s ratable share of accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for United States federal income tax purposes. For purposes of determining whether a FINA Bancorp shareholder’s receipt of cash has the effect of a distribution of a dividend, the FINA Bancorp shareholder will be treated as if it first exchanged all of its FINA Bancorp common stock solely in exchange for 1st Source common stock and then 1st Source immediately redeemed a portion or all of that stock for the cash that the holder actually received in the merger (referred to herein as the “deemed redemption”). Receipt of cash will generally not have the effect of a distribution of a dividend of the FINA Bancorp shareholder if such receipt is, with respect to the FINA Bancorp shareholder, “not essentially equivalent to a dividend,” “substantially disproportionate” or a “complete redemption,” each within the meaning of Section 302(b) of the Code.
 
The deemed redemption will not be “essentially equivalent to a dividend” and, therefore, will not have the effect of a distribution of a dividend with respect to a FINA Bancorp shareholder if it results in a “meaningful reduction” in the holder’s proportionate interest in 1st Source. If a holder that has a relatively minimal stock interest in 1st Source and no right to exercise control over corporate affairs suffers a reduction in the holder’s proportionate interest in 1st Source, the holder should be regarded as having suffered a meaningful reduction in the holder’s proportionate interest in 1st Source. For example, the IRS has held in a published ruling that, in the case of a less than 1% stockholder who does not have management control over the corporation, any reduction in the stockholder’s proportionate interest will constitute a “meaningful reduction.” The IRS has also indicated in rulings that any reduction in the interest of a minority shareholder that owns a small number of shares in a publicly and widely held corporation and that exercises no control over corporate affairs would result in capital gain (as opposed to dividend) treatment.
 
The deemed redemption will be “substantially disproportionate,” and, therefore, will not have the effect of a distribution of a dividend with respect to a FINA Bancorp shareholder who owns less than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding 1st Source common stock if the percentage of the outstanding 1st Source common stock that is actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately after the deemed redemption is less than 80% of the percentage of the outstanding 1st Source common stock that is considered to be actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately before the deemed redemption.
 
The deemed redemption will be a “complete redemption,” and, therefore, will not have the effect of a distribution of a dividend with respect to a FINA Bancorp shareholder, if it results in a complete termination of a shareholder’s interest in the outstanding 1st Source common stock that is considered to be actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately before the deemed redemption.
 
For purposes of applying the foregoing tests, a shareholder will be deemed to own the stock it actually owns and the stock it constructively owns under the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code. Under Section 318 of the Code, a shareholder will be deemed to own the shares of stock owned by certain family members, by certain estates and trusts of which the shareholder is a beneficiary and by certain affiliated entities, as well as shares of stock subject to an option actually or constructively owned by the shareholder or such other persons. In the event of a “complete redemption” within the meaning of Section 302(b) of the Code, a shareholder is may elect to waive the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code pursuant to Section 302(c) of the Code.
 
39

 
If, after applying these tests, the deemed redemption results in a capital gain, the capital gain will be long-term if the FINA Bancorp shareholder’s holding period for its FINA Bancorp common stock is more than one year as of the date of the merger. Long-term capital gains recognized by an individual are generally subject to tax at reduced rates.
 
If, after applying these tests, the deemed redemption results in the gain recognized by a FINA Bancorp shareholder being classified as a dividend, such dividend will be treated as either ordinary income or qualified dividend income. Any gain treated as qualified dividend income will be taxable to individual FINA Bancorp shareholders at the long-term capital gains rate, provided that the shareholder held the shares giving rise to such income for more than 61 days during the 121 day period beginning 60 days before the closing date. Any gain treated as ordinary income will be taxable at ordinary income rates.
 
The determination as to whether a FINA Bancorp shareholder will recognize a capital gain or dividend income as a result of its exchange of FINA Bancorp common stock for cash in the merger is complex and is determined on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis. Accordingly, each FINA Bancorp shareholder is urged to consult its own tax advisor with respect to this determination.
 
Cash Received Due to Exercise of Dissenters’ Rights
 
A holder of FINA Bancorp common stock who receives cash for its FINA Bancorp common stock because such shareholder exercised dissenters’ rights pursuant to Chapter 44 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law will be treated for United States federal income tax purposes as if the 1st Source common stock had been received and then redeemed for cash by 1st Source. Such FINA Bancorp shareholder will recognize a capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the cash received and the tax basis in the 1st Source common stock, unless such payment, under each such holder’s particular facts and circumstances, is deemed to have the effect of a dividend distribution and not a redemption treated as an exchange under the principles of Section 302 of the Code, as discussed above.
 
Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares
 
A holder of FINA Bancorp common stock who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share of 1st Source common stock generally will be treated as having received such fractional share in the merger and then as having received cash in exchange for such fractional share. As a result, assuming that the redemption of a fractional share of FINA Bancorp common stock is treated as a sale or exchange and not as a dividend, gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of the fractional share and the tax basis allocated to such fractional share of 1st Source common stock and such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, as of the effective date of the merger, the holding period for such shares is greater than one year.
 
Treatment of Escrowed Cash
 
Although the law is uncertain with respect to the United States federal income tax treatment of cash placed in escrow, unless a U.S. holder of FINA Bancorp common stock elects out of or is otherwise ineligible for the installment method of reporting gain, a shareholder may take the position that cash placed in escrow is not taxable to a FINA Bancorp shareholder at the time of the merger. Instead, the recognition of any gain is deferred until the cash is actually received. Under the installment method, the amount of the gain recognized will be the lesser of the cash received (minus the portion of the cash treated as interest, as discussed below) and the proportionate amount of the total gain realized in the merger that was not previously recognized as a result of the cash received at the effective time of the merger. For this purpose, the total gain realized in the merger will be the excess of (i) the sum of the fair market value of 1st Source common stock and the amount of cash that is received or expected to be received in the merger (including the holder’s portion of the full amount of cash placed in escrow) over (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in the FINA Bancorp common stock surrendered in the merger. The proportion of the total gain realized and not previously recognized allocable to any cash received from the escrow in a particular tax year will be equal to the proportion of the escrowed cash received in that year. If less than the full amount of a FINA Bancorp shareholder’s portion of the escrowed cash is ultimately received by such holder, the holder will have to make subsequent adjustments to its income tax returns to reflect such fact. Gain recognized will be capital gain (unless treated as a dividend under Section 302(b) of the Code as discussed above), which will
 
40

 
be long-term capital gain if the holding period for the shares of FINA Bancorp common stock exchanged in the merger was more than one year as of the effective time of the merger. As discussed above, long-term capital gains recognized by an individual are generally subject to tax at reduced rates.
 
The installment method does not apply to FINA Bancorp shareholders who affirmatively elect out of the installment method. FINA Bancorp shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to whether they should elect out of the installment method and the impact of the installment method or such election out of the installment method on their particular tax posture. Certain other rules, including special interest and pledge rules applicable to an installment obligation arising from the disposition of property with a sales price in excess of $150,000, may also apply.
 
If the installment method does not apply or in the alternative, a U.S. holder of FINA Bancorp common stock may take the position that cash placed in escrow is not taxable to a FINA Bancorp shareholder at the time of the merger based upon application of the so-called “open transaction” doctrine. Temporary United States Treasury regulations, however, are intended to limit the use of the open transaction doctrine and open-transaction treatment to “rare and extraordinary cases.”
 
It is possible that the IRS could take the position that the installment method, open-transaction doctrine or any other applicable gain recognition deferral technique are unavailable to FINA Bancorp shareholders with respect to the escrowed cash and, therefore, seek to require the FINA Bancorp shareholders to recognize gain immediately on the escrowed cash at the time of the merger. Such a position, if sustained, would result in a FINA Bancorp shareholder being taxed on its share of the escrowed cash at the time of the merger without actually receiving such share of cash until the potential distribution of the escrowed cash at a later date.
 
The FINA Bancorp shareholders should be considered the owners of the escrowed funds and should be taxed on their pro rata share of the periodic earnings (including, but not limited to, interest income) on the escrowed funds on an annual basis. A portion of any escrowed cash and/or earnings thereon may be characterized as ordinary interest income for United States federal income tax purposes under the imputed interest rules of the Code. As a result, a portion of any payments made to the FINA Bancorp shareholders from the escrow at a date later than the merger may be recharacterized as interest income; applicable tax law may allocate payments between interest and sales proceeds, whether or not the parties have done so, and, in some cases, in derogation of the parties’ negotiated allocation. Generally, the amount of imputed interest income, if any, on the escrowed cash should be determined by a comparison of the actual interest earned by the FINA Bancorp shareholders with respect to the escrowed cash compared to the applicable federal rate in effect for the month in which the effective time of the merger occurs.
 
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
 
In general, a non-corporate FINA Bancorp shareholder receiving cash in the merger may be subject to information reporting to the IRS. In addition, backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 28%) may apply to cash payments received unless the exchanging FINA Bancorp shareholder either provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding (generally on a substitute IRS Form W-9) or otherwise establishes an exemption to the satisfaction of 1st Source and the exchange agent. Any amount withheld as backup withholding from payments to an exchanging FINA Bancorp shareholder will be allowed by the IRS as a refund or credit against the FINA Bancorp shareholder’s federal income tax liability if the shareholder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS. FINA Bancorp shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to their qualifications for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for establishing an exemption.
 
Reporting Requirements
 
A FINA Bancorp shareholder who receives 1st Source common stock as a result of the merger will generally be required to retain records pertaining to the merger and will be required to file with such shareholder’s United States federal income tax return for the year in which the merger takes place a statement setting forth certain facts relating to the merger.
 
The preceding summary does not address tax consequences that may vary with, or are contingent on, individual circumstances. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisers as to the specific tax
 
41

 
consequences to them of the merger, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and effect of federal, state, local, foreign and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.
 
Governmental and Regulatory Approvals
 
Completion of the merger is subject to prior receipt of all required approvals and consents by all applicable federal and state regulatory authorities. 1st Source and FINA Bancorp have agreed to use all reasonable best efforts to obtain consents of governmental and regulatory authorities necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger.
 
Section 3(a)(3) of the Bank Holding Company Act (“BHC Act”) requires the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) before a bank holding company may acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5 percent of the voting shares of any bank. The BHC Act requires the FRB to take into consideration the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding companies and the banks involved in the transaction, their compliance with laws intended to detect and combat money laundering, and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. In considering financial resources and future prospects, the FRB will, among other things, evaluate the adequacy of the capital levels of 1st Source Bank and First National Bank. In determining whether the transaction meets the convenience and needs of the communities to be served, the FRB must take into account 1st Source Bank’s record of performance under the Community Reinvestment Act in meeting the credit needs of the communities it serves, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
 
The BHC Act prohibits the FRB from approving any proposed merger transaction that would result in a monopoly, or which would be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States, or whose effect in any section of the country may be substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly, or which in any other manner would be in restraint of trade, unless the FRB finds that the anticompetitive effects of the proposed merger transaction are clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities to be served.
 
The merger may not be consummated before the 30th calendar day, or, with the consent of the relevant agencies, the 15th calendar day, after the date of FRB approval, during which period the United States Department of Justice may comment adversely on the merger or challenge the merger on antitrust grounds. The commencement of an antitrust action would stay the effectiveness of the FRB’s approval unless a court specifically orders otherwise.
 
1st Source must also obtain the prior written approval of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions with regard to the proposed merger pursuant to Indiana Code section 28-2-14-12. In considering an application for approval of the transaction, the Department of Financial Institutions will consider factors similar to those considered by the FRB in its review of the transaction.
 
Status of Applications and Notices 
 
1st Source intends to complete the filing promptly after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus of all required applications and notices with the applicable regulatory authorities in connection with the merger. There can be no assurance that all required approvals will be obtained, that such approvals will be received on a timely basis or that such approvals will not impose conditions or restrictions on the operations of 1st Source, 1st Source Bank or First National Bank. 1st Source shall not be required to consummate the merger if, any such regulatory approval contains any condition which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of 1st Source, adversely impacts the ability of 1st Source to conclude the merger or operate any business of 1st Source or FINA Bancorp as currently operated. See “The Agreement and Plan of Merger-Conditions to the Completion of the Merger” beginning on page 51.
 
Restrictions on Resales by Affiliates
 
All shares of 1st Source common stock received by FINA Bancorp’s shareholders in the merger will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, and will be freely transferable, except for shares issued to any FINA Bancorp shareholder who, is deemed to be an “affiliate” of FINA Bancorp for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act, or may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of 1st Source for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Affiliates will include persons (generally
 
42

 
executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders) who control, are controlled by or are under common control with (1) 1st Source or FINA Bancorp at the time of the special meeting or (2) 1st Source at or after the completion of the merger. The agreement and plan of merger requires that FINA Bancorp cause its affiliates to sign a written agreement to the effect that they will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of 1st Source common stock issued to them in the merger in violation of the Securities Act.
 
Rule 145 will restrict the sale of 1st Source common stock received in the merger by affiliates of FINA Bancorp and certain of their family members and related interests. Generally speaking, during the one-year period after the effective time of the merger, those persons who are affiliates of FINA Bancorp at the time of the special meeting, provided they do not become affiliates of 1st Source at or after the completion of the merger, may publicly resell any 1st Source common stock received by them in the merger, subject to certain limitations as to, among other things, the amount of 1st Source common stock sold by them in any three-month period and as to the manner of sale. After the one-year period, such affiliates generally may resell their shares without such restrictions. Persons who are affiliates of 1st Source after the completion of the merger may publicly resell the 1st Source common stock received by them in the merger subject to similar limitations (except that the restrictions do not lapse after the one-year period) and subject to certain filing requirements specified in Rule 144.
 
The ability of affiliates to resell shares of 1st Source common stock received in the merger under Rules 144 or 145 as summarized in this proxy statement/prospectus generally will be subject to 1st Source’ having satisfied its reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for specified periods before the time of sale. Pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger, 1st Source has agreed to use its best efforts to satisfy its reporting requirements under the Exchange Act in order to satisfy the public information provisions required to be met in order for affiliates to resell shares of 1st Source common stock under Rules 145 and 144 for a period of not less than three years. Affiliates also would be permitted to resell 1st Source common stock received in the merger in accordance with an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another available exemption from the Securities Act registration requirements.
 
This proxy statement/prospectus does not cover resales of 1st Source common stock received by any person who may be deemed to be an affiliate of FINA Bancorp and/or 1st Source.
 
Listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market of 1st Source Common Stock to be Issued in the Merger
 
1st Source has agreed to use all reasonable best efforts to have the shares of 1st Source common stock issuable in the merger included for quotation on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to official notice of issuance before the completion of the merger.
 
 
RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS 
 
The Indiana Business Corporation Law grants dissenters’ rights in the merger to the holders of FINA Bancorp common stock. Under the Indiana Business Corporation Law, FINA Bancorp shareholders may dissent from the merger and demand in writing that FINA Bancorp pay the fair value of their shares. Fair value excludes any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger unless exclusion would be inequitable.
 
Chapter 44 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law sets forth the required procedures a shareholder requesting dissenters’ rights must follow. Shareholders who elect to exercise dissenters’ rights must strictly comply with all of the procedures to preserve those rights. Failure to strictly comply with the procedures may cause a termination of your dissenter’s rights. A copy of Chapter 44 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law is attached as Appendix D this proxy statement/prospectus. The following information is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Chapter 44. Please review Chapter 44 for the complete procedures.

43

 
Dissenters’ Rights Procedures
 
If you are a FINA Bancorp shareholder and you wish to exercise your dissenters’ rights, you must satisfy the provisions of Chapter 44 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law. The following describes some of the requirements of Chapter 44.
 
1.  
You must deliver a written notice to FINA Bancorp.
 
Before the shareholder vote is taken, you must deliver to FINA Bancorp a written notice of your intent to demand payment for your shares pursuant to Chapter 44 if the merger is completed. Dissenters’ rights are not available to you unless you fulfill this notice requirement. The written notice must:
 
·  
be sent before the vote on the merger agreement is taken at the special meeting of FINA Bancorp shareholders; and
·  
be sent to:
 
FINA Bancorp, Inc.
Attention: Wayne B. Welter
President
14 Indiana Avenue
Valparaiso, Indiana
46383

2.  
Record owners may assert dissenters’ rights on behalf of beneficial owners.
 
If you are a record owner, such as a broker, who holds FINA Bancorp common stock as a nominee for others, you may assert dissenters’ rights with respect to the shares held for one or more beneficial owners, while not exercising such right for other beneficial owners. You may assert dissenters’ rights as to fewer than all shares registered in your name only if you dissent (in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44) with respect to all of the shares beneficially owned by any one person, and you notify FINA Bancorp in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf you, as record owner, are asserting dissenters’ rights.
 
3.  
Beneficial owners may assert dissenters’ rights only with the record owner’s consent.
 
If you are the beneficial owner of FINA Bancorp shares but you are not the record owner of those shares, you may assert dissenters’ rights as to the shares held on your behalf only if:
 
·  
you submit to FINA Bancorp the record owner’s written consent to the dissent no later than the time you assert dissenters’ rights; and
·  
you assert dissenters’ rights with respect to all of your shares or all of those shares over which you have the power to direct the vote.
 
4.  
You must refrain from voting “FOR” approval of the merger agreement.
 
You must not vote “FOR” approval of the merger agreement. If you vote in favor of the merger agreement, your dissenters’ rights will terminate, even if you previously filed a written notice of your intent to demand payment for your shares.
 
5.  
FINA Bancorp must notify dissenting shareholders if the merger is approved.
 
If the merger is approved, FINA Bancorp must send a written notice to each dissenting shareholder within ten days of the approval. The dissenters’ notice must:
 
44

 
·  
supply a form that includes the date of the first announcement to news media or to shareholders of the terms of the merger and require that you certify whether you were the beneficial owner of your shares before that date;
·  
state where you must send the payment demand and certificates for your shares;
·  
set a date by which FINA Bancorp must receive your payment demand and certificates representing your shares (the date may not be fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days after the date FINA Bancorp delivers the dissenters’ notice to you); and
·  
include a copy of Chapter 44.
 
6.  
FINA Bancorp must return your shares if the merger is not completed by a certain date.
 
If FINA Bancorp and 1st Source do not complete the merger within 60 days after the date set forth in the dissenters’ notice for demanding payment and depositing shares, FINA Bancorp must return your shares to you. If FINA Bancorp and 1st Source complete the merger after returning your shares to you, FINA Bancorp must send you a new dissenters’ notice and repeat the payment demand procedure.
 
7.  
You must demand payment for your shares.
 
To preserve statutory dissenters’ rights, you must send FINA Bancorp a payment demand, certify whether you were the beneficial owner of your shares prior to the date set forth in the dissenters’ notice and deposit the certificates formerly representing your shares, all in accordance with the terms of the dissenters’ notice. If you demand payment and deposit stock certificates in accordance with the terms of the dissenters’ notice, you will retain all other rights as a shareholder until the rights are cancelled or modified by the completion of the merger. If you fail to demand payment or deposit stock certificates as required by the dissenters’ notice by the date set forth in the notice, you will not be entitled to payment for your shares and will be considered to have voted in favor of the merger.
 
8.  
1st Source, on behalf of FINA Bancorp, will pay you the estimated fair value of your shares.
 
Upon the completion of the merger, if you have met all statutory conditions for dissenting shareholders, 1st Source, on behalf of FINA Bancorp, will send you a payment of the amount FINA Bancorp estimates to be the fair value of your shares, accompanied by certain information specified in Chapter 44. However, FINA Bancorp may elect to withhold payment if you acquired beneficial ownership of your shares after the date set forth in the dissenters’ notice as the date of the first announcement to news media or shareholders of the terms of the merger. If FINA Bancorp elects to withhold payment from you and other post-announcement shareholders, 1st Source, on behalf of FINA Bancorp, will offer to pay you FINA Bancorp’s estimate of the fair value of your shares upon your agreement to accept the payment offered in full satisfaction of your dissenters’ demands.
 
9.  
You may make an optional second payment demand.
 
Within 30 days after 1st Source, on behalf of FINA Bancorp, pays FINA Bancorp’s estimate of the fair value of your shares (or, if you are a post-announcement shareholder, after 1st Source, on behalf of FINA Bancorp, offers to pay you FINA Bancorp’s estimate of the fair value of your shares), you may notify FINA Bancorp of your estimate of the value of your shares and demand payment of your estimate of the fair value of the shares less any payment received on behalf of FINA Bancorp (or, if you are a post-announcement shareholder, reject the offer and demand payment of your estimate of the fair value of the shares). You may exercise this right if:
 
·  
you believe the amount paid or offered on behalf of FINA Bancorp is less than the fair value of your shares;
·  
1st Source and FINA Bancorp fail to make payment within 60 days after the date set for demanding payment; or
 
45

 
·  
1st Source and FINA Bancorp have failed to complete the merger and has not returned your deposited certificates within 60 days after the date set for demanding payment.
 
10.  
FINA Bancorp will commence an appraisal proceeding.
 
If a demand for payment by any dissenting shareholder remains unsettled, FINA Bancorp or, if the merger has occurred, Hickory Acquisition, Inc., as the surviving corporation, will commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court or the Superior Court of Porter County, Indiana to appraise the value of the dissenting shares. This appraisal proceeding must be commenced within 60 days after the receipt by FINA Bancorp of the unsettled demand. All dissenting shareholders whose claims remain unsettled at that time will be made parties to those proceedings. If FINA Bancorp does not commence the proceeding within the 60-day period, FINA Bancorp (or 1st Source, on behalf of FINA Bancorp) must pay each dissenter whose demand for payment is unsettled the amount demanded by the dissenter.
 
11.  
The court will determine the fair value of your shares.
 
If you have an unsettled claim, you will be entitled to judgment for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of your shares, plus interest, exceeds any amount paid to you on behalf of FINA Bancorp. In determining the fair value, in accordance with Chapter 44, the court will not consider any appreciation or depreciation due to the anticipation or accomplishment of the merger, unless such exclusion is inequitable. The court could determine that the fair value of your shares of FINA Bancorp common stock is more than, the same as, or less than the consideration paid in the merger. In other words, if you demand appraisal rights, you could receive less consideration for your shares than you would have received under the merger agreement.
 
12.  
The court may assess the costs of the appraisal proceeding against you, other dissenting shareholders and/or FINA Bancorp.
 
The court in an appraisal proceeding will determine and assess costs against all parties in such amounts as the court finds equitable. The court may assess fees and expenses of counsel and experts against FINA Bancorp if the court finds that FINA Bancorp did not substantially comply with the requirements of Chapter 44 or against either FINA Bancorp or a dissenting shareholder if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith. In addition, if the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenting shareholders similarly situated and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against FINA Bancorp, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenting shareholders who were benefited.
 
13.  
You will retain your rights as a shareholder until the merger is completed.
 
You will retain the rights, if any, to vote and receive dividends until the merger is completed. Upon the completion of the merger, if you have given proper notice and made a valid demand, you will cease to be a shareholder and will have no rights with respect to your shares except the right to receive payment of the fair value.
 
If you fail to comply with these procedures, you will lose your dissenters’ rights. Consequently, if you wish to exercise your dissenters’ rights, you should consult a legal advisor before attempting to exercise your dissenters’ rights.

1st Source must perform or comply in all material respects with all of its obligations required to be performed by it under the agreement and plan of merger.
 
 
Termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger
 
The agreement and plan of merger may be terminated at any time prior to the completion of the merger, whether before or after approval of the agreement and plan of merger by FINA Bancorp shareholders:
 
 
 
by mutual consent of FINA Bancorp and 1st Source;
 
 
 
by either FINA Bancorp or 1st Source, if the merger has not become effective by August 31, 2007; provided, that the date will be extended for any period during which the merger is enjoined:
 
51

 
 
 
by either FINA Bancorp or 1st Source, if the Federal Reserve or the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions has denied approval of the merger and such denial has become final and nonappealable;

 
 
by either FINA Bancorp or 1st Source, upon 60 days notice to the other upon a breach or failure of a representation, warranty or covenant by the other that causes a failure of the conditions to the closing of the merger, which breach or failure has not been cured within the 60-day period after written notice of such breach is given, so long as the terminating party is not in material breach of any of its obligations under the agreement and plan of merger; or
 
 
 
by the board of directors of FINA Bancorp:

if prior to the effective time of the merger, FINA Bancorp shall have received an acquisition proposal and the board of directors of FINA Bancorp determines, in good faith judgment based on the written opinion of its independent legal counsel and after consultation with its investment banking firm, that failure to terminate the agreement and plan of merger and accept such alternative acquisition proposal would violate the fiduciary duties of FINA Bancorp’s board of directors. FINA Bancorp may only terminate the Agreement and Plan of Merger under these conditions if it pays a termination fee of $4.5 million to 1st Source.
 
Voting Agreement
 
The following describes the material provisions of the voting agreement. We urge you to read carefully the Shareholder Voting Agreement, the form of which is attached as Appendix C and is incorporated by reference into this proxy statement/prospectus, in its entirety.
 
In connection with the execution of the agreement and plan of merger, and as a condition to 1st Source’s willingness to enter into the agreement and plan of merger, Donna D. Welter, Wendy N. Meyers, Wayne B. Welter and Cyril J. Welter who are the beneficial owners of, or have power to direct the voting of, an aggregate of approximately 72.3% of FINA Bancorp’s outstanding common stock, entered into a Shareholder Voting Agreement with 1st Source. Included in these shares are 9,396 shares, or approximately 22.3% of the common stock of FINA Bancorp, held by the William J. Welter Irrevocable Trust. The provisions of this trust are currently the subject of a pending lawsuit which may impact the method of voting of these shares. Neither FINA Bancorp nor 1st Source is a party to this lawsuit and we offer no assurance as to how or when such lawsuit may be resolved.
 
Under the voting agreement, each such shareholder has agreed, with respect to the shares of FINA Bancorp common stock beneficially owned by that shareholder (and any shares held of record by a fiduciary in respect of which such shareholder has power to direct the vote), that at any meeting of the FINA Bancorp shareholders or in connection with any written consent of the shareholders of FINA Bancorp with respect to the merger, the agreement and plan of merger or any other acquisition proposal, such shareholder will:
 
 
 
vote (or direct the voting of) his or her shares in favor of the agreement and plan of merger, the merger and any transactions contemplated thereby; and
 
 
 
vote (or direct the voting of) his or her shares against approval of any other acquisition proposal.
 
The voting agreement also contains restrictions on
 
 
 
the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of the shareholder’s shares;
 
 
 
the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization relating to the agreement and plan of merger; and
 
 
 
depositing of the shareholder’s shares into a voting trust or entrance into a voting agreement.
 
52

 
In the voting agreement, each signing shareholder agrees not to solicit or respond to any other acquisition proposal, and to promptly inform 1st Source of any other acquisition proposal. The voting agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the completion date of the merger, (ii) the termination of the agreement and plan of merger, or (iii) notification by 1st Source to the Shareholders’ Agent.
 
Shareholders’ Agent
 
Prior to the effective time of the merger, the Board of Directors and the officers of FINA Bancorp will continue to take action on behalf of FINA Bancorp under the agreement and plan of merger. However, after the effective time of the merger, since FINA Bancorp would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of 1st Source, Wayne B. Welter has been designated under the agreement and plan of merger to act as the “Shareholders’ Agent” from and after the effective time of the merger for the then former shareholders of FINA Bancorp.
 
Your vote to Approve the Merger will be a vote authorizing the Shareholders’ Agent to act as the attorney-in-fact for matters related to the agreement and plan of merger. The Shareholders’ Agent would act as attorney-in-fact for all former shareholders of FINA Bancorp in such matters as executing the Escrow Agreement, receiving notice of and resolving claims regarding the escrowed funds, the final purchase price adjustment and all other matters related to the merger and payment of the merger consideration.
 
Under the agreement and plan of merger, the Shareholder’s Agent may seek direction on any matter from a committee composed of Donna D. Welter, Wendy N. Meyers, and Cyril J. Welter. This Committee would also select a successor to the Shareholders’ Agent in the event of his death, disability or resignation. Successors to members of the Committee would be selected by a vote of a majority of the voting power of the FINA Bancorp shares that were held by the shareholders of FINA Bancorp at the effective time of the merger. Any expenses of the Shareholders’ Agent or the Committee will be reimbursed from the escrowed funds.
 
Amendment of Agreement and Plan of Merger
 
The parties may amend the Agreement and Plan of Merger before completion of the merger. However, after the Agreement and Plan of Merger has been adopted by the FINA Bancorp shareholders, the provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger relating to the amount of the merger consideration may not be amended without approval of the Shareholders’ Agent.

FINA Bancorp and First National Bank, Valparaiso are from time to time involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business.

Provisions with Potential Anti-takeover Effect 
 
Several provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law, could affect the acquisition of shares of 1st Source Common Stock, or otherwise affect the control of 1st Source. The IBCL contains provisions designed to assure that minority shareholders have some say in their future relationship with Indiana corporations in the event that a person makes a tender offer for, or otherwise acquires, shares giving that person more than 20%, 33 1/3%, and 50% of the outstanding voting securities of corporations having 100 or more shareholders (the “Control Share Acquisition Statute”). Under the Control Share Acquisition Statute, if an acquirer purchases those shares at a time when the corporation is subject to the Control Share Acquisition Statute, then until each class or series of shares entitled to vote separately on the proposal, by a majority of all votes entitled to be cast by that group (excluding shares held by officers of the corporation, by employees of the corporation who are directors thereof, and by the acquirer), approves in a special or annual meeting the rights of the acquirer to vote the shares that take the acquirer over each level of ownership as stated in the statute, the acquirer has no right to vote those shares.
 
In addition, Chapter 43 of the IBCL prohibits certain business combinations, including mergers, sales of assets, recapitalizations, and reverse stock splits, between corporations such as 1st Source (assuming it has over 100 shareholders) and an interested shareholder (defined as the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares) for five (5) years following the date on which the shareholder obtained 10% ownership, unless the acquisition was approved in advance of that date by the Board of Directors of the respective companies. If prior approval is not obtained, several price and procedural requirements must be met before the business combination can be completed.
 
1st Source’s articles of incorporation also contain a provision requiring he affirmative vote of not less than 80% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of 1st Source to approve a business combination with a “Related Person" unless 2/3 of the entire Board of Directors not associated with the Related Person has first approved the transaction. A “Related Person” is generally defined as a beneficial owner of 5% or more of 1st Source common stock. This provision may only be amended by an 80% vote of 1st Source’s shareholders.

FINA BANCORP COMMON STOCK AND 1ST SOURCE COMMON STOCK
 
Both 1st Source and FINA Bancorp are incorporated in the State of Indiana. If the merger is completed, holders of FINA Bancorp common stock receiving stock as consideration in the merger will become holders of 1st Source common stock and the rights of former FINA Bancorp shareholders will be governed by Indiana law and 1st Source’s restated articles of incorporation and amended by-laws. The rights of FINA Bancorp shareholders under FINA Bancorp’s amended articles of incorporation and by-laws differ in limited respects from the rights of 1st Source shareholders under 1st Source’s restated articles of incorporation and amended by-laws. The material differences are summarized in the table below.

(1) An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as Parent and Company shall mutually agree (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed on the date on which proxy materials relating to the Merger are mailed to holders of shares of Company Common Stock or such other date as Parent and Company shall mutually agree (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Company Common Stock as of the close of business on the same date as the record date for eligibility to vote on the Merger (the “Election Form Record Date”).
 
(2) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to specify (A) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Initial Per Share Stock Consideration (“Stock Election Shares”), (B) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Initial Per Share Cash Consideration (“Cash Election Shares”) or (C) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s Company Common Stock (“No Election Shares”). Any Company Common Stock with respect to
 

11


which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time, on the first business day subsequent to the Company Meeting (or such other time and date as Parent and Company may mutually agree) (the “Election Deadline”) shall also be deemed to be No Election Shares.
 
(3) Parent shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by any person who becomes a holder (or beneficial owner) of Company Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the business day prior to the Election Deadline, and Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.
 
(4) Any such election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by one or more Old Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such certificates) representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the person submitting such Election Form only by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and signed revised Election Form. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, unless a subsequent properly completed Election Form is submitted and actually received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline, the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become No Election Shares and Parent shall cause the Old Certificates to be promptly returned without charge to the person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Election Form. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of Parent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. Neither Parent nor the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in an Election Form.
 
(5) Within five business days after the later to occur of the Election Deadline or the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among the holders of Company Common Stock of rights to receive Parent Common Stock or cash in the Merger in accordance with the Election Forms as follows:
 
(A) Cash Oversubscribed. If the aggregate cash amount that would otherwise be paid upon the conversion in the Merger of the Cash Election Shares is greater than the Maximum Cash Consideration, then:
 
(I) all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Initial Per Share Stock Consideration,
 
(II) the Exchange Agent shall then select from among the Cash Election Shares, by a pro rata selection process, a sufficient number of shares to receive the Initial Per Share Stock Consideration (“Stock Designated Shares”) such that the aggregate of cash that will be paid in the
 

12


Merger equals an amount as close as practicable but in no event greater than the Maximum Cash Consideration, and all Stock Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Initial Per Share Stock Consideration, and
 
(III) the Cash Election Shares that are not Stock Designated Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Initial Per Share Cash Consideration.
 
(B) Cash Undersubscribed. If the aggregate cash amount that would be paid upon conversion in the Merger of the Cash Election Shares is less than the Minimum Cash Consideration, then:
 
(I) all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Initial Per Share Cash Consideration,
 
(II) the Exchange Agent shall then select first from among the No Election Shares, by a random selection process, and then (if necessary) from among the Stock Election Shares, by a pro rata selection process, a sufficient number of shares to receive the Initial Per Share Cash Consideration (“Cash Designated Shares”) such that the aggregate cash amount that will be paid in the Merger equals as closely as practicable but in no event less than the Minimum Cash Consideration, and all Cash Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Initial Per Share Cash Consideration, and
 
(III) the Stock Election Shares and the No Election shares that are not Cash Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Initial Per Share Stock Consideration.
 
(C) Cash Subscriptions Sufficient. If the aggregate cash amount that would be paid upon conversion in the Merger of the Cash Election Shares is equal to or exceeds the Minimum Cash Consideration and does not exceed the Maximum Cash Consideration (as determined by the Exchange Agent), then subparagraphs (A) and (B) above shall not apply and all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Initial Per Share Cash Consideration and all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Initial Per Share Stock Consideration.
 
The pro rata selection process to be used by the Exchange Agent shall consist of such equitable pro ration processes as shall be mutually determined by Parent and Company. In addition, the Parent and the shareholders of the Company who have executed the Voting Agreements may agree that a specified number of Stock Designated Shares or Cash Designated Shares, as applicable, may be selected from among the shares subject to the Voting Agreements prior to the pro rata selection process, after which the pro rata selection process will occur, if necessary.
 
For purposes of the calculations in this Section 3.01(c), but not for any pro rata selection process, Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to be Cash Election Shares.
 
(d) Exception Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any shareholder, each Exception Share shall cease to be outstanding,
 

13


shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
 
(e) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder at the Effective Time) by the Closing Parent Share Price. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.
 
3.02 Exchange of Old Certificates; Payment of the Consideration.
 
(a) Appointment of Exchange Agent. Until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall make available on a timely basis or cause to be made available to an exchange agent agreed upon by Parent and Company (the “Exchange Agent”) (1) cash in an amount sufficient to allow the Exchange Agent to make all payments that may be required pursuant to this Article III and (2) certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock (“New Certificates”), each to be given to the holders of Company Common Stock in exchange for Old Certificates pursuant to this Article III. Upon such anniversary, any such cash or New Certificates remaining in the possession of the Exchange Agent (together with any earnings in respect thereof) shall be delivered to Parent. Any holder of Old Certificates who has not theretofore exchanged his or her Old Certificates pursuant to this Article III shall thereafter be entitled to look exclusively to Parent, and only as a general creditor thereof, for the consideration to which he or she may be entitled upon exchange of such Old Certificates pursuant to this Article III. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Exchange Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of Old Certificates for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.
 
(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event later than five business days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or deliver to each person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company Common Stock and who theretofore has not submitted such holder’s Old Certificates with an Election Form, a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent) containing instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Old Certificates in exchange for the consideration to which such person may be entitled pursuant to this Article III. After completion of the allocation procedure set forth in Section 3.01(c) and upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of an Old Certificate for cancellation together with such letter of transmittal or Election Form, as the case may be, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Old Certificate shall promptly be provided in exchange therefor, but in no event later than ten business days after due surrender, a New Certificate and/or a check in the amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article III, and the Old Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger consideration such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Company shareholders in respect to which such deduction and withholding
 

14


was made by Parent. No interest will accrue or be paid with respect to any property to be delivered upon surrender of Old Certificates.
 
(c) Transfer to Holder other than Existing Holder. If any cash payment is to be made in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the making of such payment of the Initial Per Share Cash Consideration in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting person, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable. If any New Certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in the name of other than the registered holder of the Old Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting person, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
 
(d) Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article III. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article III, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock represented by the New Certificate.
 
(e) Transfers. At or after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Parent of Old Shares.
 
(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, Parent or the Exchange Agent shall, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate, pay or cause to be paid the consideration deliverable in respect of the Old Shares formerly represented by such Old Certificate pursuant to this Article III.
 
3.03 Adjustments to Parent Common Stock. If Parent changes (or Parent’s Board of Directors sets a related record date that will occur before the Effective Time for a change in) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, or similar recapitalization with respect to such stock, the Initial Per Share Stock Consideration (and if appropriate the Upper Threshold and the Lower Threshold) shall be adjusted appropriately to provide the holders of the Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
 

15


3.04 Dissenting Shareholders.
 
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, each Dissenting Share shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Initial Per Share Purchase Consideration hereunder, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 23-1-44-8 of the IBCL. Company shall give Parent prompt notice upon receipt by Company of any demand for payment pursuant to Sections 23-1-44-8 and 23-1-44-9 of the IBCL and of withdrawals of such notice and any other instruments provided pursuant to applicable law (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”), and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, settle, offer to settle or otherwise negotiate any such demands. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by Parent.
 
(b) If any Dissenting Shareholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his or her right to dissent under Section 23-1-44-8 of the IBCL at or prior to the Effective Time, each of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall be converted into a right to receive the Initial Per Share Purchase Consideration in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.
 
3.05 Effect on Parent and Merger Sub Stock.
 
(a) Each share of Parent Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding.
 
(b) Each share of Merger Sub common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding.
 
3.06 Escrow. On the Closing Date, Parent, the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders’ Agent shall execute the Escrow Agreement. By 9:00 a.m. Eastern Standard time on the day immediately following the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Escrow Agent, for the benefit and on behalf of the shareholders of Company an amount of cash equal to the Escrow Amount (the “Escrow Fund”) for disbursement in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Fund constitutes part of the consideration to be paid to the holders of Company Common Stock, receipt of which is subject to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement
 
3.07 Determination of Final Purchase Price Adjustment. The Initial Purchase Consideration shall be subject to adjustment following the Closing Date as follows:
 
(a) As soon as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare (or cause to be prepared) and deliver to the Shareholders’ Agent a balance sheet of Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date, a statement setting forth the actual Stockholders’ Equity as of such date and a statement setting forth a detailed calculation of the Purchase Price and Final Purchase Price Adjustment (taken together the “Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement”). The Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement will be prepared applying GAAP, as modified by the definition of Stockholders’ Equity contained herein, and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, on the basis of the same accounting principles and practices used by Company in the preparation of Company Financial Statements delivered prior to the date of this Agreement.
 

16


(b) The Shareholders’ Agent shall have 15 days from receipt of the Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement to give Parent written notice of his or her objection to any item or calculation contained in the Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement, specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items and the basis therefore (a “Purchase Price Dispute Notice”). If the Shareholders’ Agent concurs with the Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement or otherwise does not give Parent a Purchase Price Dispute Notice within such 15-day period, such Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement shall be deemed final and conclusive with respect to the determination of the Final Purchase Price Adjustment and shall be binding on the parties for all purposes under this Agreement. If, however, the Shareholders’ Agent delivers a Purchase Price Dispute Notice objecting to any items or calculations contained in the Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement within such 15-day period, Parent and the Shareholders’ Agent shall meet within 15 days following the date of the Purchase Price Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”) and shall attempt in good faith to resolve such objections and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amount shall be deemed final and conclusive with respect to the determination of the Final Purchase Price Adjustment and shall be binding on the parties for all purposes under this Agreement. Any amounts that were not timely disputed pursuant to a Purchase Price Dispute Notice (or if so disputed, subsequently resolved) may not be disputed. In all events the Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement shall be final and binding, except to the extent of those amounts timely identified in a Purchase Price Dispute Notice in accordance with this paragraph.
 
(c) If Parent and the Shareholders’ Agent are unable to resolve the Shareholders’ Agent’s objections within the Resolution Period, then Parent shall designate and retain the Independent Accountant, subject to the written approval of Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Following such approval by Company, Parent and the Shareholders’ Agent shall submit for review by the Independent Accountant all amounts and issues remaining in dispute and Parent’s and the Shareholders’ Agent responses thereto. All parties agree to execute, if requested by the Independent Accountant, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant will determine only those issues still in dispute at the end of the Resolution Period and the Independent Accountant’s determination will be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The determination by the Independent Accountant will be based solely on the information contained in the presentations with respect to such disputed items by Parent and the Shareholders’ Agent to the Independent Accountant and not on the Independent Accountant’s independent review. Each of Parent and the Shareholders’ Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to provide its presentations and related information as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Accountant of the disputed items, and each such party will be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other party and any questions and requests of the Independent Accountant. Discovery shall be limited to documents designated by the Independent Accountant as necessary for it to assess the proper calculation of the Final Purchase Price Adjustment consistent with this Agreement. The Independent Accountant’s determination will be made within 30 days after its engagement (which engagement will be made no later than five business days after the end of the Resolution Period), or as soon thereafter as possible, and will be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Shareholders’ Agent and Parent. The Final Purchase Price Adjustment Statement as finalized by the Independent Accountant shall be deemed final and conclusive with respect to the Final Purchase Price Adjustment and shall be binding on Parent and the shareholders of Company for all purposes under this Agreement. In deciding any matter, the Independent Accountant (A) will be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and (B) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Parent or the Shareholders’ Agent or less than the smallest value for such
 

17


item claimed by Parent or the Shareholders’ Agent. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant in resolving all such objections shall be borne by (1) Parent in an amount equal to the proportion of the total disputed amount that the Independent Accountant finds in favor of the Shareholders’ Agent and (2) the Shareholders’ Agent in an amount equal to the proportion of the total disputed amount that the Independent Accountant finds in favor of Parent. The amount of the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant to be paid by the Shareholders’ Agent will be assessed first against the Escrow Fund. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Independent Accountant will be borne by the party incurring such cost and expense. The term “Final Purchase Price Adjustment Statement” will mean the definitive Proposed Purchase Price Adjustment Statement agreed to by the Shareholders’ Agent and Parent or resulting from the determination made by the Independent Accountant in accordance with this Section 3.07(c).
 
(d) In the event that the Purchase Price set forth on the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Statement exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Statement (such excess, together with interest thereon at an annual rate of five percent (5.00%) from the Closing Date to the date of payment, the “Purchase Price Increase”), then Parent shall promptly deliver to the Escrow Agent an amount in cash so that the sum of such cash and the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be equal to the Purchase Price Increase. The Escrow Agent will promptly distribute an amount equal to the Purchase Price Increase from the Escrow Account to the former holders of Company Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. In the event that the Estimated Purchase Price set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Statement exceeds the Purchase Price set forth on the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Statement (such excess, together with interest thereon at an annual rate of five percent (5.00%) from the Closing Date to the date of payment, the “Purchase Price Decrease”), then the Escrow Agent shall promptly disburse to Parent from the Escrow Account an amount equal to such Purchase Price Decrease, but in no event an amount greater than the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Amount. Any remaining Escrow Funds in excess of the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be distributed to the former holders of Company Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement. 
 
3.08 Payment Options
 
(a) In the event that the Closing Parent Share Price without regard to the Lower Threshold is less than $25.663, Parent shall elect to pay to the holders of Stock Election Shares and Stock Designated Shares (if applicable), for each Stock Election Share and Stock Designated Share (if applicable), either (i) in addition to the Initial Per Share Stock Consideration cash in an amount equal to the difference between $25.663 and the Closing Parent Share Price without regard to the Lower Threshold, (ii) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to a quotient, rounded to the nearest thousandth, obtained by dividing the Initial Per Share Purchase Consideration by the Closing Parent Share Price without regard to the Lower Threshold, or (iii) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to a quotient, rounded to the nearest thousandth, obtained by dividing the Initial Per Share Purchase Consideration by a figure between the Closing Parent Share Price without regard to the Lower Threshold and $25.663 (the “Assumed Closing Parent Share Price”), plus cash equal to the difference between $25.663 and the Assumed Closing Parent Share Price; provided, that if any such election by Parent other than pursuant to 3.08(a)(ii) would cause the condition of Section 7.01(f) to not be satisfied, then Parent shall offer the consideration set forth in Section 3.08(b).
 

18


(b) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Closing Parent Share Price is less than the Lower Threshold and Parent pursuant to Section 3.08(a) must offer the consideration set forth in this Section 3.08(b), then Parent shall pay to all holders of Old Certificates in cash in an amount for each Old Certificate equal to the Initial Per Share Cash consideration, regardless of any elections made pursuant to Article III (“All Cash Payment Option”).
 
(c) If the All Cash Payment Option is utilized, then Parent shall cause payment to be made to all holders of Old Certificates within the later to occur of (i) thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, which payment shall include interest thereon at an annual rate of five percent (5.00%) from the Closing Date to the date of payment, or (ii) within ten business days after satisfaction of the conditions of Section 3.02(b) with respect to the surrender by the holder of the Old Certificate to the Exchange Agent the Old Certificate for cancellation together with such letter of transmittal or Election Form, as the case may be, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, which payment shall include interest thereon at an annual rate of five percent (5.00%) from the Closing Date to the date thirty (30) days subsequent to the Closing Date.

Nothing contained in this Section 6.07 will prohibit Company from engaging in discussions with respect to any unsolicited Acquisition Proposals if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors based upon the written advice of counsel to Company, failure to engage in such discussions would be a breach of its fiduciary duties or any other obligations under applicable law.

Parent and Company will, upon request, furnish the other party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its Subsidiaries with or to any third party or Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
6.12 Indemnification.
 
(a) Following the Effective Time and for a period of six years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former directors and officers of Company and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities as incurred, in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of actions or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated hereby), to the same extent as such persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses pursuant to the Constituent Documents and indemnification agreements, if any, in effect on the date of this Agreement with Company and its Subsidiaries.
 
(b) Prior to the Effective Date, Company will obtain tail coverage, in addition to its existing director and officer liability insurance coverage, to provide director’s and officer’s liability insurance through the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors of Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (determined as of the Effective Time) (as opposed to Company or such Subsidiary) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated hereby), which insurance will contain at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Party as that coverage currently provided by Company; provided, that officers and directors of Company or any Subsidiary may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to Company’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining such insurance. 
 
(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.12(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify Parent; provided, that failure so to notify will not affect the obligations of Parent under Section 6.12(a) unless and to the extent that Parent is actually prejudiced as a consequence.
 

36


(d) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, Parent will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.12.
 
(e) The provisions of this Section 6.12 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and Representatives.

               (f) Parent shall be entitled to recover from, and be reimbursed out of, the Escrow Account in an amount up to the Indemnity Escrow Amount for any and all losses, liabilities (including any liabilities under Section 6.12(a) which are not otherwise covered by insurance), claims, expenses (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses), or damages of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether or not involving a third party claim (collectively, the “Damages”) imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Parent or any of its subsidiaries (including but not limited to the Surviving Corporation), directors, officers, employees, or other agents or representatives, or any of their respective successors or assigns (collectively “Parent Indemnitees”), resulting from, arising out of or based upon (X) any claim or action (whether pending or threatened) of a type Previously Disclosed against the Company, or (Y) any claim or action relating to Dissenting Shares (D&O Claims, (X) and (Y) collectively, the “Claims”) or (Z) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Company (collectively, a “Breach”); provided, however, that any claim by Parent for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.12(f) relating to any Claims must be made by providing notice thereof to the Shareholders Agent and the Escrow Agent on or before September 18, 2012, and any claim by Parent for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.12(f) relating to any Breach must be made on or before the date the Escrow Agent releases the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow in accordance with Section 3.07(d) above. The amount of any Claim with respect to the Dissenting Shares shall be equal to the difference between the amount per Dissenting Share paid pursuant to Section 3.04 of this Agreement and the Initial Per Share Cash Consideration, as adjusted for any Purchase Price Increase or Purchase Price Decrease. If at any time prior to September 18, 2012 Company or Parent receives a full release of all Parent Indemnitees in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, with regard to any Claims made or threatened prior to that date, the Escrow Agent shall release to the former shareholders of the Company entitled to receive payments from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(2) any amount remaining in the Escrow Account attributable to the Indemnity Escrow Amount after full payment to Parent of any amounts to which it is entitled under this Section 6.12(f). If Company or Parent does not receive such a release, then the Escrow Agent may not release any amount until the date which is thirty (30) days from the date on which any Claim is dismissed with prejudice, or determined by judge or jury and such dismissal or determination has become a final and non-appealable judgment. If Parent has not notified the Escrow Agent and the Shareholders Agent of any Claim prior to September 18, 2012, the Escrow Agent shall release to the former shareholders of the Company entitled to receive payments from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(2) any amount remaining in the Escrow Account attributable to the Indemnity Escrow Amount after full payment to Parent of any amounts to which it is entitled under this Section 6.12(f). The amounts to be released pursuant to this Section 6.12(f) shall be set forth in a spreadsheet, or other form of written notice, provided jointly by Parent and the Shareholders’ Agent to the Escrow Agent and authorizing the payment of such specified amounts to Shareholders.

37

Upon receipt of such joint written direction, the Escrow Agent shall make the distributions to such accounts as Parent and Shareholders shall have designated to the Escrow Agent in writing.
 
(h) Pursuant to Section 3.07(d) of this Agreement, in the event that the Purchase Price set forth on the Final Purchase Price Adjustment Statement exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Statement, then Parent and the Shareholders’ Agent shall execute and deliver a joint written direction to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to (i) accept from Parent the deposit of an amount of cash equal to the Purchase Price Increase, and (ii) distribute to the Shareholders all Escrow Funds other than the amount of the Escrow Indemnity Amount, including such additional deposited cash. Upon receipt of such joint written direction, the Escrow Agent shall make the distributions to such accounts as Shareholders shall have designated to the Escrow Agent in writing.

In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of Schedule A hereto, after the Effective Date, a Covered Employee whose employment is terminated due to Merger-related elimination of the Covered Employee’s position and who executes a valid waiver and release in a form acceptable to Parent (and who does not revoke such waiver and release during any applicable revocation period), shall be entitled to receive severance payments and benefits in accordance with Schedule A.
 
(b) Parent shall (1) provide all Covered Employees with service credit for purposes of eligibility (including eligibility for retirement), participation, vesting, levels of benefits and benefit accruals, under any employee benefit or compensation plan, program or arrangement adopted, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in which Covered Employees are eligible to participate, for all periods of employment with Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or their predecessor entities) prior to the Effective Time to the extent credited by Company for purposes of a comparable plan (provided that there will be no duplication of benefits) and (2) cause any pre-existing conditions, limitations, eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations under any welfare benefit plans of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to be waived with respect to the Covered Employees and their eligible dependents, to the extent waived under the corresponding plan (for a comparable level of coverage) in which the applicable Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company Board shall adopt resolutions (which may include appropriate amendments to the 401(k) Plan, including the full vesting of all 401(k) Plan participants upon termination) that terminate the 401(k) Plan effective immediately prior to the Closing. If any of the individual fiduciaries responsible for administering the 401(k) Plan resign from that position upon or after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall appoint another individual to that position (in the manner provided in the 401(k) Plan). Promptly after the Closing, Parent shall or shall cause Surviving Corporation to notify the 401(k) Plan participants and beneficiaries of the name, address and telephone number of each of the fiduciaries of the 401(k) Plan to whom questions about benefits due under the 401(k) Plan may be directed after the Closing. Parent also shall, or cause Surviving Corporation to, file or cause to be filed an application with the IRS for a favorable determination letter to the 401(k) Plan. Following receipt of such letter and the final liquidation of assets under the 401(k) Plan, such assets (net of any liabilities) shall be (i) distributed to each participant in accordance with the applicable distribution provisions of the 401(k) Plan, (ii) if directed by a participant, directly rolled over to an individual retirement arrangement or to a qualified plan of another employer that accepts direct rollovers, or (iii) if directed by any such participant, transferred in a direct

Parent and Company will give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (a) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it, (b) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VII or (c) could reasonably be expected to result in a change to the investment securities portfolio policies, procedures, practices, characteristics or composition of Company or its Subsidiaries.
 
6.15 Certain Modifications; Restructuring Charges. Company and Parent shall consult with respect to their loan, litigation and real estate valuation policies and practices (including loan classifications and levels of reserves) and Company shall make such modifications or changes to its policies and practices, if any, and at such date prior to the Effective Time, as may be mutually agreed upon. Company and Parent shall also consult with respect to the character, amount and timing of restructuring charges to be taken by each of them in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and Company shall take such charges in accordance with GAAP, as may be mutually agreed upon.

6.18 Shareholders’ Agent.
 
(a) Company has designated Wayne B. Welter as the initial “Shareholders’ Agent” hereunder, and approval of this Agreement (including the plan of merger contained herein) by the requisite vote of the holders of Company Common Stock shall constitute ratification and approval of the designation of the Shareholders’ Agent as their true and lawful attorney-in-fact, for them in their name and on their behalf, (i) to give and accept notice in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time, (ii) to execute the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement or document entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, whether prior to, on or after the Effective Time, (iii) to waive any provisions of any such agreements, (iv) to authorize delivery to Parent of any funds from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, (v) to settle disputes between the parties and (vi) to perform the other duties required of the Shareholders’ Agent under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement or document to which
 

40


the Shareholders’ Agent is a party. This power of attorney shall not be terminated or otherwise affected by the disability of any holder of Company Common Stock. This power of attorney shall terminate only when the duties of the Shareholders’ Agent have been fully performed or upon resignation as provided below. From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to conclusively rely as to any obligation they may have hereunder to the former holders of Company Common Stock upon any written instruction, waiver, notice, request, demand or other communication delivered by or on behalf of the shareholders of Company by the Shareholders’ Agent. 
 
(b) In the event of the resignation, death or incapacity of any Shareholders’ Agent, a new Shareholders’ Agent shall be appointed by a three (3) person committee consisting of Donna D. Welter, Wendy N. Meyers, and Cyril J. Welter (the “Shareholders’ Committee”). In the event that any individual authorized hereunder as a Shareholders’ Committee member shall die, become incapacitated, resign or otherwise fail to act on behalf of the Shareholders for any reason, a new individual shall be appointed to the committee by action or written consent of persons who held immediately prior to the Effective Time no less than a majority of the outstanding Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) (the “Majority Holders”), and if none is so selected within thirty (30) days, then the Shareholders’ Committee shall be reduced by one member. The vote of the majority of the members of the Shareholders’ Committee members shall constitute the act of the Shareholders’ Committee. Upon formation, the Shareholders’ Committee shall designate one member as the notice recipient and furnish such member’s contact information to Parent. Thereafter, in each case under this Agreement whereby Parent is required to notify, contact or otherwise provide information or documents to the Shareholders’ Agent, if there is no person currently serving as a Shareholders’ Agent, such requirement shall be satisfied by Parent’s notification, contact or provision of information or documents to the designated Shareholders’ Committee member. Notwithstanding the formation of the Shareholders’ Committee, nothing in this Section 6.18(b) shall allow any extension or delay in the period of time that the Shareholders’ Agent is required to respond or otherwise act as set forth in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.
 
(c) The Shareholders’ Agent shall have such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the functions assigned to it under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Shareholders’ Agent will have no obligation to act on behalf of the holders of Company Common Stock, except as expressly provided herein. The Shareholders’ Agent will have no liability to Parent, Merger Sub, Company, the Surviving Corporation or the holders of Company Common Stock with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as Shareholders’ Agent, except with respect to the Shareholders’ Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Parent shall not be liable in any way to the shareholders of Company or Company based on any act or omission of the Shareholders’ Agent relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The Shareholders’ Agent will at all times be entitled to rely on any directions received from the Majority Holders; provided, however, that the Shareholders’ Agent shall not be required to seek or follow any such direction, and shall be under no obligation to take any action in its capacity as Shareholders’ Agent, unless the Shareholders’ Agent is holding funds delivered to it under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement and/or has been provided with other funds, security or indemnities which, in the sole determination of the Shareholders’ Agent, are sufficient to protect the Shareholders’ Agent against the losses which may be incurred by the Shareholders’ Agent in responding to such direction or taking such action. The Shareholders’ Agent shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Shareholders’ Agent) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such persons. Any expenses
 

41

This Agreement and any related documents will be appropriately amended in order to reflect any such revised structure or method.

SHAREHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT
 
SHAREHOLDER VOTING AGREEMENT, dated as of February 19, 2007 (this “Agreement”), among 1st Source Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Parent”), and the persons listed on the signature pages hereof under the heading “Shareholders” (each, a “Shareholder” and, collectively, the “Shareholders”). Parent and the Shareholders are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “parties”.
 
W I T N E S S E T H :
 
WHEREAS, FINA Bancorp, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Indiana (“Company”). Each Shareholder owns, or has the power to direct a fiduciary to vote any shares in which they have a beneficial interest, the number of shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Company that have been Previously Disclosed by the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) (such shares being collectively referred to as the “Subject Shares”);
 
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Company, Parent and Hickory Acquisition, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Indiana and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may from time to time be modified, amended, supplemented or restated, the “Merger Agreement”) providing for the merger of the Company with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement); and
 
WHEREAS, as a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that the Shareholders enter into this Agreement, and the Shareholders desire to enter into this Agreement to induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
 
1. Covenants of Each Shareholder. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7, each Shareholder, severally and not jointly, agrees as follows:
 
(a) At any meeting of shareholders of Company called to vote upon the Merger and the Merger Agreement or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent) with respect to the Merger and the Merger Agreement is sought, such Shareholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) or direct any fiduciary to vote any shares in which such Shareholder has a beneficial interest, the Subject Shares in favor of the adoption by Company of the Merger and the approval of the Merger Agreement and each of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
 
(b) To the extent Shareholder has the power to elect (or cause an election to be made with respect to) the form of consideration into which any of the Subject Shares will be converted in the Merger, the Shareholder agrees to make an irrevocable election (or to cause an irrevocable election to be made) to receive cash in respect of 60 percent of such Subject Shares and shares of Parent Common Stock in respect of 40 percent of such Subject Shares.
 
(c) At any meeting of shareholders of Company or at any adjournment thereof or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval of all or some of the shareholders
 



of Company is sought, such Shareholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) its Subject Shares against (i) any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement and the Merger), consolidation, combination, sale or transfer of a material amount of assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by Company or any Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) any amendment of the Company’s articles of incorporation or by-laws or other proposal or transaction involving Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal or transaction would in any manner delay, impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Merger, the Merger Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of the Company Common Stock.
 
(d) Except as provided in the following sentence of this Section 1(d), such Shareholder agrees not to, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, assign, grant a participation interest in, option pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose or encumber (each, a “Transfer”) or enter into any agreement, option or other arrangement (including any profit sharing arrangement) with respect to the Transfer of any Subject Shares to any person, other than in accordance with the Merger Agreement and other than pursuant to pledge and similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) grant any proxies or deposit any Subject Shares into any voting trust or enter into any voting arrangement, whether by proxy, voting agreement or otherwise, with respect to any Subject Shares, other than pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Shareholder shall have the right to Transfer its Subject Shares to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in this Section 1(d)) of such Shareholder if and only if such Permitted Transferee shall have agreed in writing, in a manner acceptable in form and substance to Parent, (i) to accept such Subject Shares subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) to be bound by this Agreement and to agree and acknowledge that such person shall constitute a Shareholder for all purposes of this Agreement. “Permitted Transferee” means, with respect to any Shareholder, (A) any other person who becomes a Shareholder hereunder, (B) any charitable organization described in Section 170(c) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (C) any trust, the trustees of which include only the persons named in clause (A) or (B) and the beneficiaries of which include only the persons named in clause (A) or (B), (D) any corporation, limited liability company or partnership, the stockholders, members or general or limited partners of which include only the persons named in clause (A) or (B), or (E) if such Shareholder is a trust, the beneficiary or beneficiaries authorized or entitled to receive distributions from such trust.
 
(e) Subject to the terms of Section 2, such Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit (including by way of furnishing information), encourage or respond to or take any other action knowingly to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal by any person (other than Parent or any Affiliate of Parent) with respect to Company that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal, or enter into or maintain or continue discussions or negotiate with any person in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain any Acquisition Proposal, or agree to or endorse any Acquisition Proposal, or authorize or permit any person acting on behalf of such Shareholder to do any of the foregoing, and such Shareholder shall not, alone or together with any other person, make an Acquisition Proposal. If such Shareholder receives any inquiry or proposal regarding any Acquisition Proposal, such Shareholder shall promptly inform Parent of such inquiry or proposal and the details thereof.
 
(f) In the event that the Company’s board of directors or management does not call a special meeting of the shareholders upon which a vote, consent or other approval of all or some of the shareholders for the Merger by May 1, 2007, unless the Company has terminated the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) of the Agreement, the Shareholders shall themselves call a special meeting of the shareholders to approve the Merger pursuant to Article 1, Section 2 of the Company By-laws.
 
(g) Subject to the terms of Section 2, such Shareholder further agrees not to commit or agrees to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

2. Shareholder Capacity. No person executing this Agreement who is or becomes during the term hereof a director or officer of Company shall be deemed to make any agreement or under-stand-ing in this Agreement in such person’s capacity as a director or officer and nothing herein shall affect the ability of any person to take action on behalf of Company or any Subsidiary in its capacity as either a director or officer of Company or any Subsidiary thereof that is permissible under applicable law and not otherwise prohibited under the Merger Agreement or as such director in its capacity as such may reasonably determine to be otherwise necessary to comply with its fiduciary duties as a director of Company or any Subsidiary thereof, whether or not such actions are consistent with the obligations of such person under this Agreement. Each Shareholder is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record holder or beneficial owner of such Shareholder’s Subject Shares.
 
3. Representations and Warranties of Each Shareholder. Each Shareholder, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to Parent as follows:
 
(a) Such Shareholder has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Shareholder and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Shareholder enforceable in accordance with its terms.
 
(b) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms hereof will violate, conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to such Shareholder or to such Shareholder’s property or assets, which would adversely affect such Shareholder’s ability to perform any of its obligations hereunder.
 
(c) Such Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Subject Shares set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on the list Previously Disclosed to Parent and at the time of any vote or consent pursuant to Section 1(a) or (c) or any election pursuant to Section 1(b), the Subject Shares will be free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, encumbrance, security interest or other adverse claim. Such Shareholder has the sole right to vote, or to dispose, of such Subject Shares, and none of such Subject Shares is subject to any agreement, arrangement or restriction with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Except for this Agreement and other than pledge and similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, (i) there are no agreements or arrangements of any kind, contingent or otherwise, obligating such Shareholder to Transfer, or cause to be Transferred, any of the Subject Shares, and (ii) no person (as defined in the Merger Agreement) has any contractual or other right or obligation to purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Subject Shares.
 
(d) Such Shareholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into, and causing the Merger Sub to enter into, the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Shareholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.
 
4. Representations and Warranties of Parent. Parent hereby represents and warrants to each Shareholder that Parent has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Parent. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent enforceable in accordance
 

3


with its terms. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms hereof will violate, conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) under any provision of, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of Parent or any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license, judgment, order, notice, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Parent or to Parent’s property or assets, which would adversely affect Parent’s ability to perform any of its obligations hereunder.
 
5. Shareholder Representative.
 
(a) Each Shareholder hereby designates and appoints (and each permitted Transferee of each such Shareholder is hereby deemed to have so designated and appointed) Wayne B. Welter (the “Shareholder Representative”), as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, to serve as the representative of such Shareholder to perform all such acts as are required, authorized or contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by such Shareholder (including the voting of the Subject Shares in accordance with Sections 1(a) and 1(c) and the making of elections with respect to the Subject Shares in accordance with Section 1(b)), and hereby acknowledges that the Shareholder Representative shall be authorized to take any action so required, authorized or contemplated by this Agreement. Each such Shareholder further acknowledges that the foregoing appointment and designation shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Each such Shareholder hereby authorizes (and each such Permitted Transferee of such Shareholder shall be deemed to have authorized) the other parties hereto to disregard any notices or other action taken by such Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, except for notices and actions taken by the Shareholder Representative. Parent is and will be entitled to rely on any action so taken or any notice given by the Shareholder Representative and is and will be entitled and authorized to give notices only to the Shareholder Representative for any notice contemplated by this Agreement to be given to any such Shareholder. A successor to the Shareholder Representative may be chosen by a majority in interest of the Shareholders; provided, that notice thereof is given by the new Shareholder Representative to Parent.
 
(b) Notwithstanding the generality of Section 5(a), each Shareholder hereby constitutes and appoints the Shareholder Representative, with full power of substitution, as the proxy pursuant to the provisions of the IBCL and attorney of such Shareholder, and hereby authorizes and empowers the Shareholder Representative to represent, vote and otherwise act (by voting at any meeting of the shareholders of Company, by written consent in lieu thereof or otherwise) with respect to the Subject Shares owned or held by such Shareholder regarding the matters referred to in Sections 1(a), 1(b), 1(c) and 1(d) until the termination of this Agreement, to the same extent and with the same effect as such Shareholder might or could do under applicable law, rules and regulations. The proxy granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable. Each Shareholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies or powers of attorney granted with respect to any of the Subject Shares owned or held by such Shareholder regarding the matters referred to in Sections 1(a), 1(b) or 1(c).
 
6. Specific Performance. Each Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that (i) the covenants, obligations and agreements of such Shareholder contained in this Agreement relate to special, unique and extraordinary matters, (ii) Parent is and will be relying on such covenants in connection with entering into the Merger Agreement and the performance of its obligations under the Merger Agreement, and (iii) a violation of any of the terms of such covenants, obligations or agreements will cause Parent irreparable injury for which adequate remedies are not available at law. Therefore, each Shareholder agrees that Parent shall be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or such other equitable relief (without the requirement to post bond) as a court of competent jurisdiction may deem necessary or appropriate to
 

4


restrain such Shareholder from committing any violation of such covenants, obligations or agreements. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies Parent may have.
 
7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (A) the Effective Time, (B) the date of the termination of the Merger Agreement or (C) at any time upon notice by Parent to the Shareholder Representative. No party hereto shall be relieved from any liability for breach of this Agreement by reason of any such termination.

(1) the dissenter believes that the amount paid under section 15 of this chapter or offered under section 17 of this chapter is less than the fair value of the dissenter’s shares;
 
 
(2) the corporation fails to make payment under section 15 of this chapter within sixty (60) days after the date set for demanding payment; or

If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the sixty (60) day period, it shall pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded.
 
(b) The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the circuit or superior court of the county where a corporation’s principal office (or, if none in Indiana, its registered office) is located.

(c) The corporation shall make all dissenters (whether or not residents of this state) whose demands remain unsettled parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares and all parties must be served with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.
 
(d) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (b) is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one (1) or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them or in any amendment to it. The dissenters are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.
 
(e) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment:
 
 
(1) for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of the dissenter’s shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation; or
 
 
(2) for the fair value, plus accrued interest, of the dissenter’s after-acquired shares for which the corporation elected to withhold payment under section 17 of this chapter.
 
23-1-44-20 Costs; fees; attorney fees
 
Sec. 20. (a) The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under section 19 of this chapter shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court.

(b) The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:
 
 
(1) against the corporation and in favor of any or all dissenters if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of sections 10 through 18 of this chapter; or
 
 
(2) against either the corporation or a dissenter, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.
 
(c) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to these counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the dissenters who were benefited.


 

 

 
PART II
 
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
 
Item 20. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Indiana Business Corporation Law provides in regard to indemnification of directors and officers as follows:
     23-1-37-8 Indemnification of director against liability 
     Sec. 8.(a) A corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if;
 
(1)
 
the individual’s conduct was in good faith; and
 
     
 
(2)
 
the individual reasonably believed;
 
(A)
 
in the case of conduct in the individual’s official capacity with the corporation, that the individual’s conduct was in its best interest; and
 
     
 
(B)
 
in all other cases, that the individual’s conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and

 
(3)
 
in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual either;
 
(A)
 
had reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was lawful; or
 
     
 
(B)
 
had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful.
     (b) A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement of subsection (a)(2)(B).
     (c) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in this section.
     23-1-37-9 Mandatory indemnification of director against expense 
     Sec. 9. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because the director is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.
     23-1-37-13 Officers, employees or agents; indemnification and advance of expense 
     Sec. 13. Unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise:
     (1) an officer of the corporation, whether or not a director, is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 9 of this chapter, and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under section 11 of this chapter, in each case to the same extent as a director;
     (2) the corporation may indemnify and advance expenses under this chapter to an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, whether or not a director, to the same extent as to a director; and
     (3) a corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent whether or not a director, to the extent, consistent with public policy, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors, or contract.
     23-1-37-15 Indemnification rights under articles of incorporation, by-laws or resolutions 
     Sec. 15. (a) The indemnification and advance for expenses provided for or authorized by this chapter does not exclude any other rights to indemnification and advance for expenses that a person may have under:
     (1) a corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws;
     (2) a resolution of the board of directors or of the shareholders; or
     (3) any other authorization, whenever adopted, after notice, by a majority vote of all the voting shares then issued and outstanding.
     (b) If the articles of incorporation, by-laws, resolutions of the board of directors or of the shareholders, or other duly adopted authorization of indemnification or advance for expenses limit indemnification or advance for expenses, indemnification and advance for expenses are valid only to the extent consistent with the articles, by-laws, resolutions of the board of directors or of the shareholders, or other duly adopted authorization of indemnification or advance for expenses.
 
II-1

 
     (c) This chapter does not limit a corporation’s power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee, or agent in connection with the person’s appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when the person has not been made a named defendant or respondent to the proceeding.
     The Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant provides:
“The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted in and in the manner provided by Chapter 37 of the Act, indemnify every person who is or was a Director of the Corporation. The Corporation may advance expenses to every person who is or was a Director of the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted in and in the manner provided by Chapter 37 of the Act. The Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to every person who is or was an Officer of the Corporation to the same extent as if such person were a Director of the Corporation. The foregoing indemnification and advance of expenses for Directors and Officers of the Corporation shall apply when such persons are serving in their official capacity with the Corporation, when serving at the Corporation’s request while a Director or Officer of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, and when serving as a director or officer of any corporation at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting capital stock of which is owned of record by the Corporation. All references in this paragraph to Chapter 37 of the Act shall be deemed to include any amendment or successor thereto. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall limit or preclude the exercise of any right relating to indemnification or advance of expenses to any person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation or the ability of the Corporation to otherwise indemnify or advance expenses to any such person. The foregoing provisions shall be binding upon any successor to the Corporation so that each person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation shall be in the same position with respect to any resulting, surviving, or succeeding entity as he or she would have been had the separate legal existence of the Corporation continued; provided, that unless expressly provided or agreed otherwise, this sentence shall be applicable only to Directors and Officers acting in such capacity prior to termination of the separate legal existence of the Corporation. If any word, clause, or sentence of the foregoing provisions regarding indemnification or advancement of expenses shall be held invalid as contrary to law or public policy, it shall be severable and the provisions remaining shall not be otherwise affected. This paragraph shall be interpreted and enforced so as to give maximum rights to indemnification and advance of expenses to each person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation. If any Court holds any word, clause, or sentence of this paragraph invalid, the Court is authorized and empowered to rewrite these provisions to achieve such purpose.”

Article VIII of the Code of By-Laws of the Registrant provides as follows:

Section 8.01 Indemnification:

A. Every person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation shall be indemnified by the Corporation against all liability, including any obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, excise tax, or fine, and against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, actually incurred by such person in his or her Official Capacity, provided that such person is determined in the manner specified in D below to have met the standard of conduct specified in E below. Upon demand for such indemnification, the Corporation shall proceed as provided in D below to determine whether such person is so entitled to indemnification.

B. Every person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation shall be indemnified by the Corporation against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, actually incurred by such person in connection with any Proceeding to which such person was a party because of such person serving in his or her Official Capacity if such person was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of such Proceeding.

C. The Corporation may, upon authorization of those entitled to select counsel under D.(3) below, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses, including counsel fees, incurred by any person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation in connection with any Proceeding to which such person is a Party because of such person serving in his or her Official Capacity in advance of final disposition of the Proceeding if:
 
II-2


(1) The person furnishes the Corporation a written affirmation of the person's good faith belief that the person has met the standard of conduct specified in E below;

(2) The person furnishes the Corporation an unlimited general written undertaking, executed personally or on the person's behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that the person did not meet such standard of conduct; and

(3) A determination is made in the manner specified in D below that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under A above.

D. The determination shall be made by any one of the following procedures, as selected by the Board of Directors by majority vote of the entire Board of Directors:

(1) By the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors not at the time parties to the proceeding as to which indemnification or advancement of expenses is at issue.

(2) If a quorum cannot be obtained under Subdivision (1), by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation Directors who are Parties may participate), consisting solely of two or more Directors not at the time Parties to the Proceeding.

(3) By special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed in Subdivision (1) or (2); or, if a quorum of the Board of Directors cannot be obtained under Subdivision (1) and a committee cannot be designated under Subdivision (2), by special legal counsel selected by majority vote of the full Board of Directors (in which selection Directors who are Parties may participate).

(4) By a majority vote of shareholders excluding shares owned or controlled by Directors or Officers who at the time of the vote are Parties to the Proceeding.

E. The standard of conduct for any act or omission is as follows:

(1) In the case of any criminal Proceeding, the person either had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was lawful, or, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.

(2) In all other cases, either (a)(i) the person's conduct was in good faith, and (ii) the person reasonably believed that the person's conduct was in the Corporation's best interest, or, in the situation described in F.(3)(c) below, the person reasonably believed that the person's conduct was not opposed to the Corporation's best interests; or (b) the person's breach of or failure to act in accordance with the standard set forth in E.(2)(a) above did not constitute willful misconduct or recklessness. A person's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose which the person reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirements of E.(2)(b).

(3) The termination of a Proceeding by judgment, order, agreement, or settlement, or upon conviction or a plea of nolo contendere, or the equivalent of any of the foregoing, is not, of itself, determinative that the person did not meet the standard of conduct.

F. As used hereinabove with respect to indemnification, the following terms have the following meanings:
 
II-3


(1) DIRECTOR means an individual who is or was a director of the Corporation. "Director" includes the heirs, estate, executors, administrators, and personal representatives of a Director.

(2) OFFICER means an individual who is or was an officer of the Corporation. "Officer" includes the heirs, estate, executors, administrators, and personal representatives of an Officer.

(3) OFFICIAL CAPACITY means: (a) when used with respect to a Director, the position of Director of the Corporation; (b) when used with respect to an Officer, the office in the Corporation held by an Officer, and (c) when used with respect to a Director or Officer, any service by a person while a Director or Officer of the Corporation at the Corporation's specific request, as a Director, Officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of the Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not. For these purposes, a person is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the Corporation's specific request of the person's duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, such person to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.

(4) PARTIES means persons who were, are, or are threatened to be named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding.

(5) PROCEEDING means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, proceeding, or appeal therefrom, whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory, or investigative, and whether formal or informal.

G. The Corporation reserves the right to purchase and maintain insurance for the matters covered by these provisions and to the extent of such insurance payments these provisions shall not be effective.

 
Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
 
An index to Exhibits appears at pages II-8 hereof.
 
Item 22. Undertakings.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(1) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933.
 
(2) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
 
(3) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
 
II-4

 
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(d) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(e) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.
 
(f) That every prospectus (1) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (e) immediately preceding, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
(g) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 20 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
(h) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
 
(i) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
