<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B><I>Merger Closing Date</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">Old National Bancorp (&#147;Old National&#148;) and Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. (&#147;Anchor&#148;) anticipate
that the proposed merger of Anchor with and into Old National (the &#147;Merger&#148;) will occur on May&nbsp;2,
2016. The closing remains subject to the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
January&nbsp;11, 2016, by and between Old National and Anchor (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;) by the Anchor
stockholders at the Special Meeting of Anchor Stockholders on April&nbsp;29, 2016 and satisfaction of
all other conditions described in the Merger Agreement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B><I>Proposed Settlement of Litigation Related to the Merger</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 3%">On February&nbsp;25. 2016, a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, by an individual purporting to be a
stockholder of Anchor. The lawsuit is captioned <I>Parshall v. Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin, Inc., et al.</I>,
Case No.&nbsp;16-CV-120 (W.D. Wis.), and alleges state law breach of fiduciary duty claims against the
Anchor&#146;s board for, among other things, seeking to sell Anchor through an allegedly defective
process, for an unfair price and on unfair terms. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, to enjoin
the consummation of the Merger and damages. The complaint alleges that Old National aided and
abetted the Anchor directors&#146; breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint also includes federal law
claims alleging that the registration statement omitted certain material information.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 3%">On March&nbsp;31, 2016, the plaintiff and defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding
(the &#147;MOU&#148;) setting forth their agreement in principle to settle the litigation. While the
defendants deny the allegations in the complaint, they have agreed to enter into the MOU to avoid
the costs and disruptions of any further litigation and to permit the timely closing of the Merger.
The MOU describes the terms that the parties have agreed to include in the settlement agreement,
subject to confirmatory discovery by the plaintiff, and describes the actions that the parties will
take or refrain from taking between the date of the MOU and the date that the settlement agreement
is finally approved by the court.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">The MOU, among other things, requires supplemental disclosures that the defendants have
included in the proxy statement and prospectus dated March&nbsp;29, 2016. The MOU also provides that the
settlement agreement will include an injunction against proceedings in connection with the
complaint and any additional complaints concerning claims that will be covered by the settlement
agreement. In addition, the MOU provides that the settlement agreement will include a release on
behalf of the plaintiff, along with other members of the class of Anchor stockholders certified for
purposes of the settlement agreement, in favor of the defendants and their related parties from any
claims that arose from or are related to the Merger. The defendants have agreed to pay the
plaintiff&#146;s attorneys&#146; fees and expenses as awarded by the court, subject to court approval of the
settlement agreement and the consummation of the Merger. </FONT><FONT style="font-size: 8pt"> </FONT><FONT style="font-size: 10pt">There can be no assurance that
the parties will ultimately enter into the settlement agreement or that the court will approve the
settlement even if the parties were to enter into such settlement agreement. In such event, the MOU
may be rendered null and void and of no force and effect.

closing conditions; delay in closing the proposed merger; the reaction to the proposed merger of
the companies&#146; customers and employees; market, economic, operational, liquidity, credit and

ITEM 8.01 Other Events
Merger Closing Date
Old National Bancorp ("Old National") and Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. ("Anchor") anticipate
that the proposed merger of Anchor with and into Old National (the "Merger") will occur on May 2,
2016. The closing remains subject to the adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
January 11, 2016, by and between Old National and Anchor (the "Merger Agreement") by the Anchor
stockholders at the Special Meeting of Anchor Stockholders on April 29, 2016 and satisfaction of
all other conditions described in the Merger Agreement.
Proposed Settlement of Litigation Related to the Merger
On February 25. 2016, a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States
District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, by an individual purporting to be a
stockholder of Anchor. The lawsuit is captioned
Parshall v. Anchor Bancorp Wisconsin, Inc., et al.
,
Case No. 16-CV-120 (W.D. Wis.), and alleges state law breach of fiduciary duty claims against the
Anchor's board for, among other things, seeking to sell Anchor through an allegedly defective
process, for an unfair price and on unfair terms. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, to enjoin
the consummation of the Merger and damages. The complaint alleges that Old National aided and
abetted the Anchor directors' breaches of fiduciary duty. The complaint also includes federal law
claims alleging that the registration statement omitted certain material information.
On March 31, 2016, the plaintiff and defendants entered into a memorandum of understanding
(the "MOU") setting forth their agreement in principle to settle the litigation. While the
defendants deny the allegations in the complaint, they have agreed to enter into the MOU to avoid
the costs and disruptions of any further litigation and to permit the timely closing of the Merger.
The MOU describes the terms that the parties have agreed to include in the settlement agreement,
subject to confirmatory discovery by the plaintiff, and describes the actions that the parties will
take or refrain from taking between the date of the MOU and the date that the settlement agreement
is finally approved by the court.
The MOU, among other things, requires supplemental disclosures that the defendants have
included in the proxy statement and prospectus dated March 29, 2016. The MOU also provides that the
settlement agreement will include an injunction against proceedings in connection with the
complaint and any additional complaints concerning claims that will be covered by the settlement
agreement. In addition, the MOU provides that the settlement agreement will include a release on
behalf of the plaintiff, along with other members of the class of Anchor stockholders certified for
purposes of the settlement agreement, in favor of the defendants and their related parties from any
claims that arose from or are related to the Merger. The defendants have agreed to pay the
plaintiff's attorneys' fees and expenses as awarded by the court, subject to court approval of the
settlement agreement and the consummation of the Merger.
There can be no assurance that
the parties will ultimately enter into the settlement agreement or that the court will approve the
settlement even if the parties were to enter into such settlement agreement. In such event, the MOU
may be rendered null and void and of no force and effect.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited
to, statements about the expected timing of completion of the proposed merger between Old National
and Anchor. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of the words "anticipate,"
"believe," "expect," "intend," "could" and "should," and other words of similar meaning. These
forward-looking statements express management's current expectations or forecasts of future events
and, by their nature, are subject to risks and uncertainties and there are a number of factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such statements. Factors that might
cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: expected cost savings, synergies and other
financial benefits from the proposed merger might not be realized within the expected time frames
and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters might be greater than expected; the
requisite stockholder approval for the proposed merger might not be obtained; satisfaction of other
closing conditions; delay in closing the proposed merger; the reaction to the proposed merger of
the companies' customers and employees; market, economic, operational, liquidity, credit and
interest rate risks associated with Old National's and Anchor's businesses; competition; government
