Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of Old National Bancorp (the "Company"), upon recommendation of the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") took several actions with respect to incentive compensation for the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive officers named in the compensation discussion included in the Company's proxy statement for its annual meeting held in 2006 (collectively, the "Named Executive Officers") and other executive officers. The actions taken include the establishment of performance goals and potential awards for fiscal year 2007 under the Company's Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, and the grant of long-term incentive awards under the Company's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, in the form of performance-based restricted stock, service-based restricted stock and non-qualified stock options. The actions also included the approval of discretionary bonuses for the Named Executive Officers, with the exception of Robert G. Jones, in connection with their services to the Company for the 2006 fiscal year that are payable on February 23, 2007. Because the grants and awards made under the Company's Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and the Equity Incentive Plan were materially consistent with the previously disclosed terms of such Plans, the Company believes that such grants and awards do not require disclosure on Form 8-K in reliance upon Instruction 2 to paragraph (e) of Item 5.02(e) but the Company is nevertheless voluntarily providing a brief description of such grants and awards in order to provide a more complete description of the compensatory actions taken on January 25, 2007.

Short-term Incentive Compensation Plan

On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, established the performance goals and potential awards for the Named Executive Officers with respect to fiscal year 2007 under the Company's Short-Term Incentive Compensation Plan ("STIP"). For 2007, the incentive bonus paid under the STIP will be based on the level of achievement of the Company's earnings per share. Target awards for executive officers range from 40% to 75% of base salary, and maximum awards range from 80% to 150% of base salary.

Long-Term Incentive Awards

On January 25, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved the grant of performance-based and service-based restricted stock awards and non-qualified stock options to each of the Named Executive Officers pursuant to the Company's 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.

The performance-based restricted stock awards will be earned by the Named Executive Officers based on the achievement of certain financial factors at the end of the three-year period ending December 31, 2009. The financial factors include earnings per share growth, net charge-off ratio and revenue growth. The value of the shares of restricted stock subject to these performance-based awards that is presented in the table below is the value that will be earned if the Company achieves the targeted levels; if the Company performs in relation to the financial factors at levels that exceed the targeted levels, the value of the shares of restricted stock presented in the table below could be greater than that presented, but not more than 200% of such amounts.

The service-based restricted stock awards will vest annually in three approximately equal installments (33.3%, 33.3%, 33.4%) over a three-year period ending February 1, 2010, subject to the continued employment of the Named Executive Officer.

The non-qualified stock options were granted at an exercise price of $18.43 (the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant) and will vest annually in three approximately equal installments (33.3%, 33.3%, 34.4%) over a three-year period ending February 1, 2010.

The following table sets forth information regarding the individual grants of restricted stock and stock options and the discretionary bonus approved for each of the Named Executive Officers:
