On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law "H.R.1", formerly known as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act", which among other items reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. As a result, Old National Bancorp (the "Company") has concluded that this will cause the Company&#x2019;s deferred tax assets to be revalued.  The Company&#x2019;s deferred tax assets represent a decrease in corporate taxes expected to be paid in the future. The Company performed an analysis to determine the impact of the revaluation of the deferred tax asset using its September 30, 2017 balance of $138.0 million and included an estimate of the impact from the recently acquired Anchor Bancorp, Inc.&#x2019;s ("Anchor") deferred tax position. It is estimated that the value of the deferred tax asset will be reduced by approximately $41 million (including the impact of Anchor), less the amount of tax deferral utilized in the fourth quarter. Under this methodology, the estimated fourth quarter earnings impact would be approximately ($0.28) per share and the estimated tangible book value impact would be approximately ($0.27) per share based on estimated fourth quarter weighted average diluted shares of approximately 147 million and total shares outstanding of approximately 152 million at year end.<br><br>The Company&#x2019;s revaluation of its deferred tax asset is subject to further clarifications of the new law that cannot be estimated at this time. As such, the Company is unable to make a final determination of the impact on the quarterly and year to date earnings for the period ending December 31, 2017 at this time. The Company does not anticipate future cash expenditures as a result of the reduction to the deferred tax asset.<br><br>To the extent required, the Company may file one or more amendments to this Current Report.<br>

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 22, 2017, President Donald Trump signed into law "H.R.1", formerly known as the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act", which among other items reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018. As a result, Old National Bancorp (the "Company") has concluded that this will cause the Company's deferred tax assets to be revalued.  The Company's deferred tax assets represent a decrease in corporate taxes expected to be paid in the future. The Company performed an analysis to determine the impact of the revaluation of the deferred tax asset using its September 30, 2017 balance of $138.0 million and included an estimate of the impact from the recently acquired Anchor Bancorp, Inc.'s ("Anchor") deferred tax position. It is estimated that the value of the deferred tax asset will be reduced by approximately $41 million (including the impact of Anchor), less the amount of tax deferral utilized in the fourth quarter. Under this methodology, the estimated fourth quarter earnings impact would be approximately ($0.28) per share and the estimated tangible book value impact would be approximately ($0.27) per share based on estimated fourth quarter weighted average diluted shares of approximately 147 million and total shares outstanding of approximately 152 million at year end.
The Company's revaluation of its deferred tax asset is subject to further clarifications of the new law that cannot be estimated at this time. As such, the Company is unable to make a final determination of the impact on the quarterly and year to date earnings for the period ending December 31, 2017 at this time. The Company does not anticipate future cash expenditures as a result of the reduction to the deferred tax asset.
To the extent required, the Company may file one or more amendments to this Current Report.
