FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus (including information contained in an accompanying

performance and business, followed by or that include the words "believes,"
"expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions. These
forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual

o competitive pressures among depository and other financial
institutions may increase significantly;
o changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins;
o general economic or business conditions, either nationally or in the
states in which we are doing business, may be less favorable than
expected resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit
quality or a reduced demand for credit;

in which we are engaged;
o technological changes may be more difficult or expensive than
anticipated; and
o changes may occur in the securities markets.
We caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees

OLD NATIONAL BANCORP
We are a bank holding company that operates 133 banking offices and 252 ATM
locations in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky through our bank subsidiaries. These
banks provide a wide range of financial services, including:
o commercial, consumer and real estate loans;
o deposit products;
o issuing and servicing credit cards;
o leasing;
o letters of credit; and
o safe deposit facilities.
We also own nonbank subsidiaries which provide additional financial
services incidental to its operations, including:
o securities brokerage services;
o fiduciary and trust services;
o investment services; and
o issuance and reinsurance of credit life, accident, health, life,
property and casualty insurance.
We were incorporated in 1982 in the State of Indiana as the holding company
of Old National Bank in Evansville, Indiana. Old National Bank has provided
banking services since 1834. We began an acquisition program in 1985 and have
acquired 38 financial institutions since that time. We continue to explore
opportunities to acquire banks, savings associations and non-bank companies and
are currently reviewing and analyzing potential acquisitions, as well as
engaging in discussions or negotiations concerning potential acquisitions. There
can be no
3
assurance that any of these discussions or negotiations will result in
definitive agreements or consummated acquisitions.
As a legal entity separate and distinct from its bank and non-bank
subsidiaries, our principal sources of revenues are dividends and fees from its
bank and non-bank subsidiaries. The subsidiaries that operate in the banking,
insurance and securities business can pay dividends only if they are in
compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements imposed on them by
federal and state regulatory authorities.
REGULATORY MATTERS
As a bank holding company, we are subject to regulation, supervision and
examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System under the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. For a discussion of certain
material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to bank holding
companies and their subsidiaries and certain specific information relevant to
us, see our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001 which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
This regulatory framework is intended primarily for the protection of
depositors and the federal deposit insurance funds and not for the protection of
security holders or creditors. The various government rules, regulations and
requirements that apply to us impact our business and activities. A change in
applicable statutes, rules, regulations and requirements that apply to us impact
business and activities may have a material effect on our business and earnings.
In addition, our business and earnings are affected by general economic
conditions, legislation and actions of regulatory authorities.
Under policy of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is expected to
act as a source of financial strength for its bank subsidiaries and to commit
resources to support such banks. As a result, the Federal Reserve may require us
to commit resources to our bank subsidiaries.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our
common stock offered hereby. All proceeds from the sale of such shares of our
common stock will be received by the selling shareholders, as described below.
See "Selling Shareholders" and "Plan of Distribution."
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the offer for sale or other distribution of
shares of our common stock by persons who will acquire shares of our common
stock in connection with our acquisition of businesses. Such selling
shareholders will be identified from time to time by supplements to this
prospectus.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling
shareholders to be named in a prospectus supplement, by their permitted donees
or transferees, or by their other successors in interest. The selling
shareholders may sell their shares at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices,
or at fixed prices, which may be changed. Each selling shareholder may reserve
the right to accept or reject,
4
in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of shares, whether the purchase is to
be made directly or through agents.
The selling shareholders may offer their shares at various times in one or
more of the following transactions:
o in ordinary brokers' transactions and transactions in which the broker
solicits purchasers;
o in transactions involving cross or block trades or otherwise on The
New York Stock Exchange;
o in transactions in which brokers, dealers or underwriters purchase the
shares as principal and resell the shares for their own accounts
pursuant to this prospectus;
o in transactions "at the market" to or through market makers in the
common stock or into an existing market for our common stock;
o in other ways not involving market makers or established trading
markets, including direct sales of the shares to purchasers or sales
of the shares effected through agents;
o through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives which may
or may not be listed on an exchange;
o in privately negotiated transactions; or
o in a combination of any of the foregoing transactions.
The selling shareholders also may sell their shares in accordance with Rule
144 under the Securities Act of 1933.
From time to time, one or more of the selling shareholders may pledge or
grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them. If the
selling shareholders default in performance of the secured obligations, the
pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time. The
selling shareholders also may transfer and donate shares in other permitted
circumstances. The number of shares beneficially owned by selling shareholders
who transfer, donate, pledge or grant a security interest in their shares will
decrease as and when the selling shareholders take these actions. The plan of
distribution for the shares offered and sold under this prospectus will
otherwise remain unchanged, except that the permitted transferees, donees or
other successors in interest will be selling shareholders for purposes of this
prospectus.
The selling shareholders may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents
to sell their shares. The persons acting as agents may receive compensation in
the form of commissions, discounts or concessions. This compensation may be paid
by the selling shareholders or the purchasers of the shares for whom such
persons may act as agent, or to whom they may sell as principal, or both. The
compensation as to a particular person may be less than or in excess of
customary commissions. The selling shareholders and any agents or broker-dealers
that participate with the selling shareholders in the offer and sale of the
shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities
Act. Any commissions they receive and any profit they realize on the resale of
the shares by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions
under the Securities Act. Neither we nor any selling shareholders can presently
estimate the amount of such compensation.
5
If a selling shareholder sells shares in an underwritten offering, the
underwriters may acquire the shares for their own account and resell the shares
from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined
at the time of sale. In such event, we will set forth in a supplement to this
prospectus the names of the underwriters and the terms of the transactions,
including any underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions and other items
constituting compensation of the underwriters and broker-dealers. The
underwriters from time to time may change any public offering price and any
discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid to
broker-dealers. Unless otherwise set forth in a supplement, the obligations of
the underwriters to purchase the shares will be subject to certain conditions,
and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the shares specified
in the supplement if they purchase any of the shares.
We intend to advise the selling shareholders that during such time as they
may be engaged in a distribution of the shares, they are required to comply with
Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act. With certain exceptions,
Regulation M prohibits any selling shareholder, any affiliated purchasers and
any broker-dealer or other person who participates in such distribution from
bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or
purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire
distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made
in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the
distribution of that security. The foregoing restrictions may affect the
marketability of the shares.
We may agree to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain
liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
It is possible that a significant number of shares could be sold at the
same time. Such sales, or the perception that such sales could occur, may
adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
We will bear all expenses (other than selling commissions, underwriting
discounts and fees and expenses of counsel to any selling shareholder) of the
selling shareholders in connection with the registration and sale of the shares
pursuant to this registration statement. To the extent required, we will file
during any period in which offers or sale are being made, one or more
supplements to this prospectus to set forth the name of selling stockholders and
any other material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters relating to the validity of shares of our common
stock offered pursuant to this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Krieg
DeVault LLP, Indianapolis, Indiana.

------------------------------------------------
Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Chapter 23-1-37 of the Indiana Business Corporation Law (the "IBCL") gives
corporations the power to indemnify officers and directors under certain
circumstances.
The Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide
that the Registrant will indemnify, under certain circumstances, any person
which is or was a director, officer or employee of the Registrant or of any
other corporation for which he is or was serving in any capacity at the request
of the Corporation against all liability and expense that may be incurred by him
in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding against them.
Additionally, under the IBCL, a director of the Registrant will not be
liable to shareholders for any action taken as a director, or any failure to
take any action, unless (1) the director has breached or failed to perform his
duties as a director in good faith with the care an ordinarily prudent person in
a like position would exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner the
director reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation; and
(2) such breach or failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or
recklessness.
The Registrant also has policies insuring its officers and directors
against certain liabilities for action taken in such capacities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
See "Item 17. Undertakings" for a description of the SEC's position
regarding the indemnification of directors and officers for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act.
Item 16. Exhibits.
The exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the attached
Exhibit Index.
Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
9
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) 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 thereto) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this 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% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
(iii) 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.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8
or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.
(2) 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
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) 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.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of a registrant's Annual
Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
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.
(c) 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 foregoing provisions, 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
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by each
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 whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
