Segment Information 135 71 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and related financial information appearing in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements and notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include some amounts which are estimates based upon currently available information and management’s judgment of current conditions and circumstances. Financial information throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K is consistent with that in the financial statements. Management maintains a system of internal accounting controls, which is believed to provide, in all material respects, reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, transactions are properly authorized and recorded, and the financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. In addition, Old National has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a Senior Financial and Executive Officer Code of Ethics, and Corporate Governance Guidelines that outline high levels of ethical business standards. In order to monitor compliance with this system of controls, Old National maintains an extensive internal audit program. Internal audit reports are issued to appropriate officers and significant audit exceptions, if any, are reviewed with management and the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors, through an Audit Committee comprised solely of independent directors, oversees management’s discharge of its financial reporting responsibilities. The Audit Committee meets regularly with Old National’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and managers responsible for financial reporting. During these meetings, the committee meets privately with the independent registered public accounting firm as well as with financial reporting and internal audit personnel to review accounting, auditing, and financial reporting matters. The appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is made by the Audit Committee. Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report appears in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 have been audited by Crowe LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report also appears in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING The management of Old National is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Old National’s management assessed the effectiveness of Old National’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework . Based on that assessment, Old National has concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, Old National’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. Old National’s independent registered public accounting firm has audited the effectiveness of Old National’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024 as stated in their report, which is included in Part II, Item 9A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 72 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Old National Bancorp Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Old National Bancorp and subsidiaries (“Old National") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Old National as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), Old National’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 19, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on Old National's internal control over financial reporting. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of Old National’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Old National’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to Old National in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans (“ACL”) — Qualitative Factors — Refer to Note 1 and Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Critical Audit Matter Description Old National maintains the ACL as an estimate of expected credit losses over the expected contractual life of their loan portfolio. The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics. 73 Old National utilizes a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) approach with a probability of default (“PD”) methodology for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. The PD regression models use combinations of variables to assess systematic and unsystematic risk. Variables used for unsystematic risk are borrower specific and help to gauge the risk of default from an individual borrower. Variables for systematic risk, risk inherent to all borrowers, come from the use of forward-looking economic forecasts. The loss given default (“LGD”) is defined as credit loss incurred when an obligor of the bank defaults. Expected cash flows are created for each loan using reasonable and supportable forecasts and discounted using the loan’s effective yield. The discounted sum of expected cash flows is then compared to the amortized cost and any shortfall is recorded as a component of the ACL. The quantitative allowance is adjusted by qualitative factors. Qualitative factors include items such as changes in lending policies or procedures and economic uncertainty in forward-looking forecasts. At December 31, 2024, the key qualitative adjustments to the expected credit losses are associated with risks in the forecasted economic environment. These factors include the risk that macroeconomic forecasts of unemployment, gross domestic product, and the BBB ratio (BBB spread to the 10-Year U.S. Treasury rate) may prove to be more severe and/or prolonged than the baseline forecast due to a variety of considerations. Considering the estimation and judgment in determining adjustments for such qualitative factors, our audit of the ACL and the related disclosures involved subjective judgment about the qualitative adjustments to the ACL. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the qualitative adjustments to the ACL included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of Old National’s controls over the qualitative adjustments to the ACL • We assessed the reasonableness of, and evaluated support for, key qualitative adjustments • We tested the completeness and accuracy and evaluated the relevance of the key data used as inputs to the qualitative adjustment estimation process, including: ◦ Portfolio segment loan balances and other borrower-specific data ◦ Relevant macroeconomic indicators and data • With the assistance of our credit specialists, we tested the mathematical accuracy of the ACL models used as the method for developing the qualitative adjustments /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Chicago, Illinois February 19, 2025 We have served as Old National’s auditor since 2023. 74 Crowe LLP Independent Member Crowe Global REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Old National Bancorp Evansville, Indiana Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022 of Old National Bancorp (the “Company”) and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

holding company of Old National Bank, our wholly owned banking subsidiary, is headquartered in Evansville, Indiana with commercial and consumer banking operations headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Through Old National Bank and non-bank affiliates, Old National Bancorp provides a wide range of services to its clients throughout the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States and elsewhere, including commercial and consumer loan and depository services, private banking, capital markets, brokerage, wealth management, trust, investment advisory, and other traditional banking services. NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Old National Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Old National”) and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Such principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity and were insignificant amounts. Equity Securities Equity securities consist of mutual funds for Community Reinvestment Act qualified investments and diversified investment securities held in a grantor trust for participants in the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Equity securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in other income. Investment Securities Old National classifies debt investment securities as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity on the date of purchase. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Realized gains and losses affect income and the prior fair value adjustments are reclassified within shareholders’ equity. Debt securities classified as held-to-maturity, which management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, are reported at amortized cost. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums or discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized on the level-yield method. Anticipated prepayments are considered when amortizing premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale debt securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Available-for-sale securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated at least quarterly to determine if a decline in fair value should be recorded through income or other comprehensive income (loss). For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether we intend to sell, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security, before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the criteria, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security and the issuer, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, we compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis for the security, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded, limited to the amount that the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. Any decline in fair value that has not been recorded 81 through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes. Accrued interest receivable on the securities portfolio is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Federal Home Loan Bank/Federal Reserve Bank Stock Old National is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system and its regional Federal Reserve Bank. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors. FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock are carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income. Loans Held-for-Sale Loans that Old National has originated with an intent to sell are classified as loans held-for-sale and are recorded at fair value, determined individually, as of the balance sheet date. The loan’s fair value includes the servicing value of the loans as well as any accrued interest. Conventional mortgage production is sold with servicing rights retained. Certain loans, such as government guaranteed mortgage loans are sold on servicing released basis. Loans Loans that Old National intends to hold are classified as held for investment. Loans held for investment are carried at the principal balance outstanding, net of earned interest, purchase premiums or discounts, deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the principal balances of loans outstanding. For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against earnings. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and future payments are reasonably assured. Old National has purchased loans, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. Evidence of credit deterioration was evaluated using various indicators, such as past due and nonaccrual status, as well as asset quality rating (“AQR”). Purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans are recorded at the amount paid. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. The initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and initial allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is accreted or amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through provision for credit losses. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by Old National to identify if a financial difficulty modification has occurred, which is when Old National modifies a loan related to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Terms may be modified to fit the ability of the borrower to repay in line with its current financial status. The modification of the terms of such loans includes one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date, a permanent reduction of the recorded investment of the loan, or an other-than-insignificant payment delay. The adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02 on January 1, 2023 eliminated the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and enhanced disclosures for modifications to loans related to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans Credit quality within the loans held for investment portfolio is continuously monitored by management and is reflected within the allowance for credit losses on loans. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of expected losses inherent within the Company’s loans held for investment portfolio. Credit quality is assessed and monitored by evaluating various attributes and the results of those evaluations are utilized in underwriting new loans and in our process for estimating expected credit losses. Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancelable off-balance-sheet credit exposures (unfunded loan commitments) is accounted for as a separate liability included in other liabilities on the balance sheet. The allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment and unfunded loan commitments is 82 adjusted by a credit loss expense, which is reported in earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The allowance for credit loss estimation process involves procedures to consider the unique characteristics of our loan portfolio segments. These segments are further disaggregated into loan classes based on the level at which credit risk of the loan is monitored. When computing the level of expected credit losses, credit loss assumptions are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history, delinquency status, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and credit loss expense in those future periods. The allowance level is influenced by loan volumes, loan AQR migration or delinquency status, changes in historical loss experience, and other conditions influencing loss expectations, such as reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses on loans has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics. We utilize a discounted cashflow approach to determine the allowance for credit losses for performing loans and nonperforming loans. Expected cashflows are created for each loan and discounted using the effective yield method. The discounted sum of expected cashflows is then compared to the amortized cost and any shortfall is recorded as an allowance. Expected cashflows are created using a combination of contractual payment schedules, calculated probability of default (“PD”), loss given default (“LGD”), and prepayment assumptions as well as qualitative factors. For commercial and commercial real estate loans, the PD is forecasted using a regression model to determine the likelihood of a loan moving into nonaccrual within the time horizon. For residential and consumer loans, the PD is forecasted using a regression model to determine the likelihood of a loan being charged-off within the time horizon. The regression models use combinations of variables to assess systematic and unsystematic risk. Variables used for unsystematic risk are borrower specific and help to gauge the risk of default from an individual borrower. Variables for systematic risk, risk inherent to all borrowers, come from the use of forward-looking economic forecasts and include variables such as unemployment rate, gross domestic product, and home price index. The LGD is defined as credit loss incurred when an obligor of the bank defaults. Qualitative factors include items such as changes in lending policies or procedures and economic uncertainty in forward-looking forecasts. Further information regarding Old National’s policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on loans is presented in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Land is stated at cost. Depreciation is charged to operating expense over the useful lives of the assets, principally on the straight-line method. Useful lives for premises and equipment are as follows: buildings and building improvements – 10 to 39 years; and furniture and equipment – 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of their useful lives or the term of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. Interest costs on construction of qualifying assets are capitalized. Premises and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are adjusted to fair value. Such impairments are included in other expense. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill arises from business combinations and is determined as the excess of the cost of acquired entities over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed as of the merger or acquisition date. Amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived assets is not recorded. However, the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. Other intangible assets, including core deposits and customer 83 business relationships, are amortized primarily on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful lives, generally over a period of 5 to 15 years. Company-Owned Life Insurance Old National has purchased, as well as obtained through mergers and acquisitions, life insurance policies on certain key executives. Old National records company-owned life insurance at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Loan Servicing Rights When loans are sold with servicing retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value with the income statement effect recorded in gain on sales of loans. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. All classes of servicing assets are subsequently measured using the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying loans. Loan servicing rights are included in other assets on the balance sheet. Loan servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to carrying amount. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type, term, and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual grouping, to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. If Old National later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular grouping, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances are reported with mortgage banking revenue on the income statement. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Servicing fee income, which is reported on the income statement as mortgage banking revenue, is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal, or a fixed amount per loan, and are recorded as income when earned. Derivative Financial Instruments As part of Old National’s overall interest rate risk management, Old National uses derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, collars, and floors. All derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. At the inception of the derivative contract, Old National designates the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair value hedge”), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”), or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone derivative”). For a fair value hedge, the change in value of the derivative, as well as the offsetting change in value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings during the period of the change in fair values. For a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported currently in earnings, in noninterest income. Net cash settlements on derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in interest income or interest expense, based on the item being hedged. Net cash settlements on derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are reported in noninterest income. Cash flows on hedges are classified in the cash flow statement the same as the cash flows of the items being hedged. Old National formally documents all relationships between derivatives and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This documentation includes linking fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. Old National also formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged items. Old National discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it is determined that (1) the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item; (2) the derivative expires, is sold, or terminated; (3) the derivative instrument is de- 84 designated as a hedge because the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring; (4) a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or (5) management otherwise determines that designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative are recorded as noninterest income. When a fair value hedge is discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transaction is still expected to occur, changes in value that were accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) are amortized or accreted into earnings over the same periods which the hedged transactions will affect earnings. Old National enters into various stand-alone mortgage-banking derivatives in order to hedge the risk associated with the fluctuation of interest rates. Changes in fair value are recorded as mortgage banking revenue. Old National also enters into various stand-alone derivative contracts to provide derivative products to clients, which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as other noninterest income. Old National is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which Old National is in the net receiving position. Old National anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the agreements. In addition, Old National obtains collateral above certain thresholds of the fair value of its hedges for each counterparty based upon their credit standing. All of the contracts to which Old National is a party settle monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. Further, Old National has netting agreements with the dealers with which it does business. Credit-Related Financial Instruments In the ordinary course of business, Old National’s bank subsidiary has entered into credit-related financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. The notional amount of these commitments is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements until they are funded. Old National maintains an allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for credit losses on loans, modified to take into account the probability of a drawdown on the commitment. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is classified as a liability account on the balance sheet and is adjusted as a provision for unfunded loan commitments included in the provision for credit losses. Repossessed Collateral Other real estate owned and repossessed personal property are initially recorded at the fair value of the property less estimated cost to sell and are included in other assets on the balance sheet. Physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan occurs when legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure or when the borrower conveys all interest in the property to satisfy the loan through the completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Any excess recorded investment over the fair value of the property received is charged to the allowance for credit losses. Any subsequent write-downs are recorded in noninterest expense, as are the costs of operating the properties. Gains or losses resulting from the sale of collateral are recognized in noninterest expense at the date of sale. Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell and Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase We purchase certain securities, generally U.S. government-sponsored entity and agency securities, under agreements to resell. The amounts advanced under these agreements represent short-term secured loans and are reflected as assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We also sell certain securities under agreements to repurchase. These agreements are treated as collateralized financing transactions. These secured borrowings are reflected as liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are recorded at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. Short-term securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. Securities, generally U.S. government and federal agency securities, pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements can be repledged by the secured party. Additional collateral may be required based on the fair value of the underlying securities. 85 Share-Based Compensation Compensation cost is recognized for stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock awards and units issued to employees based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options and appreciation rights, while the market price of our Common Stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. The market price of our Common Stock at the date of grant less the present value of dividends expected to be paid during the performance period is used for restricted stock units where the performance measure is based on an internal performance measure. A third-party provider is used to value certain restricted stock units where the performance measure is based on total shareholder return. Compensation expense is recognized over the required service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. FDIC Special Assessment On November 16, 2023, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) finalized a rule that imposes special assessments to recover the losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) resulting from the FDIC’s use, in March 2023, of the systemic risk exception to the least-cost resolution test under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act in connection with the receiverships of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The FDIC estimated in approving the rule that those assessed losses total approximately $16.3 billion. The rule provides that this loss estimate will be periodically adjusted, which will affect the amount of the special assessment. Under the rule, the assessment base is the estimated uninsured deposits that an insured depository institution (“IDI”) reported in its December 31, 2022 Call Report, excluding the first $5 billion in estimated uninsured deposits. The special assessments will be collected at an annual rate of approximately 13.4 basis points per year (3.36 basis points per quarter) over eight quarters in 2024 and 2025, with the first assessment period beginning January 1, 2024. Because the estimated loss pursuant to the systemic risk determination will be periodically adjusted, the FDIC retains the ability to cease collection early, extend the special assessment collection period and impose a final shortfall special assessment on a one-time basis. In its December 31, 2022 Call Report, Old National Bank reported estimated uninsured deposits of approximately $ 12.0 billion. The Company expects the special assessments to be tax deductible. The total of the special assessments for Old National Bank was estimated at $ 19.1 million, and such amount was recorded within FDIC assessment expense in the year ended December 31, 2023. Old National recorded an additional $ 3.0 million within FDIC assessment expense for this special assessment in the year ended December 31, 2024. Income Taxes Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We recognize a tax position as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. We recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. Old National is a limited partner in several tax-advantaged limited partnerships whose purpose is to invest in approved qualified affordable housing, renewable energy, or other renovation or community revitalization projects. These investments are included in other assets on the balance sheet, with any unfunded commitments included with other liabilities. Certain of these assets qualify for the proportional amortization method and are amortized over the period that Old National expects to receive the tax credits, with the expense included within income tax expense on the consolidated statements of income. The other investments are accounted for under the equity or consolidation method, with the expense included within noninterest expense on the consolidated statements of income. All of our tax credit investments are evaluated for impairment at the end of each reporting period. Loss Contingencies Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. See Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for further disclosure. 86 Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows For the purpose of presentation in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash, due from banks, federal funds sold and resell agreements, and money market investments, which have maturities less than 90 days. Cash flows from loans, either originated or acquired, are classified at that time according to management’s intent to either sell or hold the loan for the foreseeable future. When management’s intent is to sell the loan, the cash flows of that loan are presented as operating cash flows. When management’s intent is to hold the loan for the foreseeable future, the cash flows of that loan are presented as investing cash flows. The following table summarizes supplemental cash flow information: Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Cash payments: Interest $ 1,066,609 $ 666,121 $ 118,165 Income taxes, net of refunds 100,576 190,303 66,109 Noncash Investing and Financing Activities: Securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity — — 2,986,736 Transfer of premises and equipment to assets held-for-sale — — 7,905 Operating lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations 22,494 20,260 28,265 Finance lease right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations 10,073 10,019 ( 966 ) There were 24.0 million shares of Common Stock issued in conjunction with the acquisition of CapStar in April of 2024 totaling $ 417.6 million in shareholders’ equity . There were 129.4 million shares of Common Stock issued in conjunction with the merger with First Midwest in February of 2022 totaling $ 2.4 billion in shareholders’ equity . In addition, Old National issued 108,000 shares of Old National Series A Preferred Stock and 122,500 shares of Old National Series C Preferred Stock totaling $ 243.7 million in shareholders’ equity. Business Combinations Old National accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. The accounts of an acquired entity are included as of the date of merger or acquisition, and any excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is capitalized as goodwill. Alternatively, a gain is recorded if the fair value of the net assets acquired exceeds the purchase price. Old National typically issues Common Stock and/or pays cash for a merger or acquisition, depending on the terms of the agreement. The value of Common Stock issued is determined based on the market price of the stock as of the closing of the merger or acquisition. Merger and acquisition costs are expensed when incurred. Revenue From Contracts With Customers Old National’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 is recognized within noninterest income. A description of the Company’s significant revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows: Wealth and investment services fees : Old National earns wealth management fees based upon asset custody and investment management services provided to individual and institutional customers. Most of these customers receive monthly or quarterly billings for services rendered based upon the market value of assets in custody. Fees that are transaction based are recognized at the point in time that the transaction is executed. Investment product fees are the commissions and fees received from third-party registered broker/dealers and investment advisers that provide those services to Old National customers. Old National acts as an agent in arranging the relationship between the customer and the third-party service provider. These fees are recognized monthly from the third-party broker based upon services already performed, net of the processing fees charged to Old National by the broker. Service charges on deposit accounts : Old National earns fees from deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees and overdraft fees are recognized at a point in time, 87 since the customer generally has a right to cancel the depository arrangement at any time. The arrangement is considered a day-to-day contract with ongoing renewals and optional purchases, so the duration of the contract does not extend beyond the services already performed. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which Old National satisfies its performance obligation. Debit card and automated teller machine (“ATM”) fees : Debit card and ATM fees include ATM usage fees and debit card interchange income. As with the transaction-based fees on deposit accounts, the ATM fees are recognized at the point in time that Old National fulfills the customer’s request. Old National earns interchange fees from cardholder transactions processed through card association networks. Interchange rates are generally set by the card associations based upon purchase volumes and other factors. Interchange fees represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. Impact of Accounting Changes Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2024 Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 820 – In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions , to clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2024 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC 323 – In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method , which allows reporting entities to elect to account for qualifying tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method, regardless of the program giving rise to the related income tax credits. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance on a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2024 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC 848 – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for, or recognizing the effects of, the transition away from London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other interbank offered rate on financial reporting. The guidance is applicable only to contracts or hedge accounting relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 , which defers the sunset date of relief provisions within Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide relief during the transition period. The amendments in this ASU are effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, all of the Company’s LIBOR exposure was remediated. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC 280 – In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable investors to better understand an entity’s overall performance and assess potential future cash flows. A public entity should apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 88 Accounting Guidance Pending Adoption FASB ASC 740 – In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . Among other things, these amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis disclose additional information in specified categories with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). In addition, the ASU requires information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be disaggregated for federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts are equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Old National does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC 220 – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses . This ASU requires public companies to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements at each interim and annual reporting period. Specifically, public companies will be required to disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory; (b) employee compensation; (c) depreciation; (d) intangible asset amortization; and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. Within the same tabular disclosure, an entity must disclose certain expense, gain, or loss amounts that are already required under current U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Further, an entity must disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. In addition, an entity must disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. Old National is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements. FASB ASC 470 – In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments . This ASU clarifies requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments, including convertible debt instruments with cash conversion features or convertible debt instruments that are not currently convertible, should be accounted for as an induced conversion. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Old National is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2 – MERGER, ACQUISITION, AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY Mergers CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. On April 1, 2024, Old National completed its acquisition of CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. (“CapStar”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, CapStar Bank, in an all-stock transaction. This partnership strengthens Old National’s Nashville, Tennessee presence and adds several new high-growth markets. 89 The assets acquired and liabilities assumed, both intangible and tangible, were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the merger date and have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. The following table presents the preliminary valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the fair value of consideration as of the merger date: (dollars and shares in thousands) April 1, 2024 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 177,791 Investment securities 342,490 FHLB/Federal Reserve Bank stock 14,426 Loans held-for-sale 21,159 Loans, net of allowance for credit losses 2,120,627 Premises and equipment 22,481 Goodwill 176,535 Other intangible assets 46,125 Company-owned life insurance 91,475 Other assets 95,922 Total assets $ 3,109,031 Liabilities Deposits $ 2,560,124 FHLB advances 75,000 Other borrowings 30,000 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 26,309 Total liabilities $ 2,691,433 Fair value of consideration Common stock ( 24,014 shares issued at $ 17.41 per share) $ 417,598 Total consideration $ 417,598 Goodwill related to this merger will not be deductible for tax purposes. Other intangible assets acquired included core deposit intangibles. The estimated fair value of the core deposit intangible was $ 46.1 million and is being amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years. The fair value of PCD assets was $ 610.7 million on the date of merger. The gross contractual amounts receivable relating to the PCD assets was $ 679.3 million. Old National estimates, on the date of the merger, that $ 26.7 million of the contractual cash flows specific to the PCD assets will not be collected. Transaction and integration costs associated with the CapStar merger have been expensed in 2024 totaling $ 26.3 million and additional transaction and integration costs will be expensed in future periods as incurred. First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. On February 15, 2022, Old National completed its merger of equals transaction with First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (“First Midwest”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of May 30, 2021, to combine in an all-stock transaction. The combined organization has a presence in additional Midwestern markets, strong commercial banking capabilities, a robust retail footprint, a significant wealth management platform, and an enhanced ability to attract talent. The combined organization also creates the scale and profitability to accelerate digital and technology capabilities to drive future investments in consumer and commercial banking, as well as wealth management services. 90 As of December 31, 2022, Old National finalized its valuation of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The following table presents a summary of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, net of the fair value adjustments and the fair value of consideration as of the merger date: (dollars and shares in thousands) February 15, 2022 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,912,629 Investment securities 3,526,278 FHLB/Federal Reserve Bank stock 106,097 Loans held-for-sale 13,809 Loans, net of allowance for credit losses 14,298,873 Premises and equipment 111,867 Operating lease right-of-use assets 129,698 Accrued interest receivable 53,502 Goodwill 961,722 Other intangible assets 117,584 Company-owned life insurance 301,025 Other assets 317,258 Total assets $ 21,850,342 Liabilities Deposits $ 17,249,404 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase 135,194 FHLB advances 1,158,623 Other borrowings 274,569 Accrued expenses and other liabilities 342,369 Total liabilities $ 19,160,159 Fair value of consideration Preferred stock $ 243,870 Common stock ( 129,365 shares issued at $ 18.92 per share) 2,446,312 Total consideration $ 2,690,182 Transaction and integrations costs totaling $ 8.5 million primarily associated with the merger have been expensed in 2024, compared to $ 28.7 million in 2023, and $ 120.9 million in 2022. As a result of the merger, Old National assumed sponsorship of First Midwest’s defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) under which both plan participation and benefit accruals had been previously frozen. The Pension Plan was terminated in November 2022, which included the settlement of benefit obligations associated with the Pension Plan. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no remaining Pension Plan assets. Pension costs were not material in 2024 or 2023. Pending Acquisition Bremer Financial Corporation On November 25, 2024, Old National entered into a definitive agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which Old National will acquire Bremer Financial Corporation (“Bremer”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bremer Bank, National Association. As of December 31, 2024, Bremer had $ 16.5 billion in total assets, $ 11.8 billion in total loans, and $ 13.2 billion in deposits. Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, each outstanding share of Bremer common stock will be converted into the right to receive 4.182 shares of Old National common stock plus $ 26.22 in cash, valuing the transaction at approximately $ 1.4 billion, or $ 116.76 per share, based on Old National’s closing stock price on November 22, 2024. The transaction value is likely to change until closing due to fluctuations in the price of Old National common stock. The definitive merger agreement has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of Bremer and Old National. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including the approval of Bremer shareholders. The transaction is anticipated to close in the middle of 2025. 91 In addition, on November 25, 2024, Old National announced that it entered into a forward sale agreement with Citibank, N.A. (the “Forward Purchaser”) to issue 19,047,619 shares of Old National common stock for an aggregate offering amount of $ 400.0 million and entered into an underwriting agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as representative for the underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), the Forward Purchaser, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as forward seller (the “Forward Seller”). The Underwriters were also granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,857,143 shares of Old National common stock. On November 25, 2024, the Underwriters exercised this option in full, upon which Old National entered into an additional forward sale agreement to issue 2,857,143 shares of Old National common stock. The Company did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock sold by the Forward Seller to the Underwriters. Old National expects to physically settle the forward sale agreements (by the delivery of shares of Old National common stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares of Old National common stock upon one or more forward settlement dates within approximately 12 months from the date of the forward sale agreements at the then applicable forward sale price. The forward sale agreements are classified as equity instruments under ASC 815-40 Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. Transaction costs totaling $ 2.5 million associated with the merger have been expensed in 2024 and additional transaction and integration costs will be expensed in future periods as incurred. Divestitures On November 18, 2022, Old National sold its business of acting as a qualified custodian for, and administering, health savings accounts. Old National served as custodian for health savings accounts comprised of both investment accounts and deposit accounts. At closing, the health savings accounts held in deposit accounts that were transferred totaled approximately $ 382 million and resulted in a $ 90.7 million pre-tax gain. During the fourth quarter of 2022, Old National initiated certain property optimization actions that included the closure and consolidation of certain branches as well as other real estate repositioning across our footprint. These actions resulted in pre-tax charges associated with valuation adjustments related to these locations totaling $ 26.8 million and $ 1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively, and were recorded in noninterest expense. 92 NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT SECURITIES The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of the available-for-sale portfolio and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains, unrealized losses, and basis adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”).

Excluding securities issued or backed by the U.S. government and its agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, there were no investments in securities from one issuer that exceeded 10% of stockholder’s equity as of December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2023, the only aggregate market value of the Company’s investment securities greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity were issued by Indiana and its political subdivisions totaling $ 600.9 million, which represented 10.8 % of shareholders’ equity. Of the bonds issued by Indiana, 99.6 % were rated “BBB+” or better, and the remaining 0.4 % generally represented pre-refunded positions. The table below shows the amortized cost and fair value of the investment securities portfolio by contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities if borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

These unrecognized losses are included as a separate component of shareholders’ equity and are being amortized over the remaining term of the securities. No allowance for credit losses for available-for-sale debt securities was needed at December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. 95 An allowance on held-to-maturity debt securities is maintained for certain municipal bonds to account for expected lifetime credit losses. Substantially all of the U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies and agency mortgage-backed securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major credit rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. Therefore, for those securities, we do not record expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities was $ 0.2 million at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Accrued interest receivable on securities portfolio is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and totaled $ 55.3 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 50.3 million at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, Old National’s securities portfolio consisted of 3,006 securities, 2,639 of which were in an unrealized loss position. The unrealized losses attributable to our U.S. Treasury, U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, agency mortgage-backed securities, states and political subdivisions, and other securities are the result of fluctuations in interest rates and market movements. Old National’s pooled trust preferred securities are evaluated using collateral-specific assumptions to estimate the expected future interest and principal cash flows. At December 31, 2024, we had no intent to sell any securities that were in an unrealized loss position nor is it expected that we would be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery. Old National’s pooled trust preferred securities have experienced credit defaults. However, we believe that the value of the instruments lies in the full and timely interest payments that will be received through maturity, the steady amortization that will be experienced until maturity, and the full return of principal by the final maturity of the collateralized debt obligations. Old National did not recognize any losses on these securities for the years ended December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Equity Securities Equity securities consist of mutual funds for Community Reinvestment Act qualified investments and diversified investment securities held in a grantor trust for participants in the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Old National’s equity securities with readily determinable fair values totaled $ 92.0 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 80.4 million at December 31, 2023. There were gains on equity securities of $ 0.9 million during 2024, gains on equity securities of $ 21.5 million during 2023, and losses on equity securities of $ 4.9 million during 2022 recorded in noninterest income. Alternative Investments Old National has alternative investments without readily determinable fair values that are included in other assets totaling $ 609.2 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 449.3 million at December 31, 2023. These investments consisted of $ 318.5 million of illiquid investments of partnerships, limited liability companies, and other ownership interests that support affordable housing and $ 290.7 million of economic development and community revitalization initiatives in low-to-moderate income neighborhoods, compared to $ 252.2 million and $ 197.1 million for the same investment types, respectively, at December 31, 2023. There were no impairments or adjustments on equity securities without readily determinable fair values, except for amortization of tax credit investments during 2024, 2023, and 2022. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for detail regarding these investments. NOTE 4 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Loans Old National’s loans consist primarily of loans made to consumers and commercial clients in many diverse industries, including real estate rental and leasing, manufacturing, healthcare, wholesale trade, construction, and agriculture, among others. Most of Old National’s lending activity occurs within our principal geographic markets in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States. Old National manages concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, client relationship, and loan size. In the ordinary course of business, Old National grants loans to certain executive officers and directors (collectively referred to as “related parties”). The aggregate amount of loans to related parties was not greater than 5 % of the Company’s shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2024 or 2023. Old National has loan participations, which qualify as participating interests, with other financial institutions. At December 31, 2024, these loans totaled $ 3.3 billion, of which $ 1.5 billion had been sold to other financial institutions and $ 1.8 billion was retained by Old National. The loan participations convey proportionate ownership rights with equal priority to each participating interest holder; involve no recourse (other than ordinary 96 representations and warranties) to, or subordination by, any participating interest holder; all cash flows are divided among the participating interest holders in proportion to each holder’s share of ownership; and no holder has the right to pledge the entire financial asset unless all participating interest holders agree. The loan categories used to monitor and analyze interest income and yields are different than the portfolio segments used to determine the allowance for credit losses on loans. The allowance for credit losses was calculated by pooling loans of similar credit risk characteristics and credit monitoring procedures. The four loan portfolios used to monitor and analyze interest income and yields – commercial, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer – are reclassified into seven segments of loans – commercial, commercial real estate, business banking credit center (“BBCC”), residential real estate, indirect, direct, and home equity for purposes of determining the allowance for credit losses on loans. The commercial and commercial real estate loan categories shown on the balance sheet include the same pool of loans as the commercial, commercial real estate, and BBCC portfolio segments. The consumer loan category shown on the balance sheet is comprised of the same loans in the indirect, direct, and home equity portfolio segments. The portfolio segment reclassifications follow: Balance Sheet Line Item Portfolio Segment Reclassifications Portfolio Segment After Reclassifications (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2024 Commercial (1) $ 10,288,560 $ ( 232,301 ) $ 10,056,259 Commercial real estate 16,307,486 ( 174,438 ) 16,133,048 BBCC N/A 406,739 406,739 Residential real estate 6,797,586 — 6,797,586 Consumer 2,892,255 ( 2,892,255 ) N/A Indirect N/A 1,096,778 1,096,778 Direct N/A 514,144 514,144 Home equity N/A 1,281,333 1,281,333 Total loans (2) 36,285,887 — 36,285,887 Allowance for credit losses on loans ( 392,522 ) — ( 392,522 ) Net loans $ 35,893,365 $ — $ 35,893,365 December 31, 2023 Commercial (1) $ 9,512,230 $ ( 232,764 ) $ 9,279,466 Commercial real estate 14,140,629 ( 169,058 ) 13,971,571 BBCC N/A 401,822 401,822 Residential real estate 6,699,443 — 6,699,443 Consumer 2,639,625 ( 2,639,625 ) N/A Indirect N/A 1,050,982 1,050,982 Direct N/A 523,172 523,172 Home equity N/A 1,065,471 1,065,471 Total loans (2) 32,991,927 — 32,991,927 Allowance for credit losses on loans ( 307,610 ) — ( 307,610 ) Net loans $ 32,684,317 $ — $ 32,684,317 (1) Includes direct finance leases of $ 120.6 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 169.7 million at December 31, 2023. (2) Includes unearned income of $ 163.3 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 93.7 million at December 31, 2023. The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial Commercial loans are classified primarily on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its clients. 97 Commercial Real Estate Commercial real estate loans are classified primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts, and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing Old National’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography, and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner-occupied loans. Included with commercial real estate are construction loans, which are underwritten utilizing independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, financial analysis of the developers and property owners, and feasibility studies, if available. Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders (including Old National), sales of developed property, or an interim loan commitment from Old National until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions, and the availability of long-term financing. At 237 %, Old National Bank’s applicable investor commercial real estate loans as a percentage of its Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for credit losses attributable to loans and leases remained below the regulatory guideline limit of 300 % at December 31, 2024. BBCC BBCC loans are typically granted to small businesses with gross revenues of less than $5 million and aggregate debt of less than $1 million. Old National has established minimum debt service coverage ratios, minimum Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) scores for owners and guarantors, and the ability to show relatively stable earnings as criteria to help mitigate risk. Repayment of these loans depends on the personal income of the borrowers and the cash flows of the business. These factors can be affected by such changes as economic conditions and unemployment levels. Residential With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1 - 4 family residences and are generally owner occupied, Old National typically establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and generally requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in residential property values. Portfolio risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers. Indirect Indirect loans are secured by automobile collateral, generally new and used cars and trucks from auto dealers that operate within our footprint. Old National typically mitigates the risk of indirect loans by establishing minimum FICO scores, maximum loan-to-value ratios, and maximum debt-to-income ratios. Repayment of these loans depends largely on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be affected by changes in economic conditions such as unemployment levels. Portfolio risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller amounts spread over many borrowers and ongoing reviews of dealer relationships. Direct Direct loans are typically secured by collateral such as auto or real estate or are unsecured. Old National has established underwriting standards such as minimum FICO scores, maximum loan-to-value ratios, and maximum debt-to-income ratios. Repayment of these loans depends largely on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be affected by changes in economic conditions such as unemployment levels. Portfolio risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller amounts spread over many borrowers. 98 Home Equity Home equity loans are generally secured by 1-4 family residences that are owner-occupied. Old National has established underwriting standards such as minimum FICO scores, maximum loan-to-value ratios, and maximum debt-to-income ratios. Repayment of these loans depends largely on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be affected by changes in economic conditions such as unemployment levels. Portfolio risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller amounts spread over many borrowers, along with monitoring of updated borrower credit scores. Allowance for Credit Losses Loans Credit loss assumptions used when computing the level of expected credit losses are estimated using a model that categorizes loan pools based on loss history, delinquency status, and other credit trends and risk characteristics, including current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. The base forecast scenario considers unemployment, gross domestic product, and the BBB ratio (BBB spread to the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate). In addition to the quantitative inputs, several qualitative factors are considered. These factors include the risk that macroeconomic forecasts of unemployment, gross domestic product, home price index, and the BBB ratio may prove to be more severe and/or prolonged than our baseline forecast due to a variety of considerations.

In addition, the provision for credit losses on loans in the year ended December 31, 2024 included $ 15.3 million to establish an allowance for credit losses on non-PCD loans acquired in the CapStar transaction. Accrued interest receivable on loans is excluded from the estimate of credit losses and totaled $ 171.6 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 169.8 million at December 31, 2023. Unfunded Loan Commitments Old National maintains an allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments to provide for the risk of loss inherent in these arrangements. The allowance is computed using a methodology similar to that used to determine the allowance for credit losses on loans, modified to take into account the probability of a drawdown on the commitment. The allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments is classified as a liability account on the balance sheet within accrued expenses and other liabilities, while the corresponding provision for unfunded loan commitments is included in the provision for credit losses. Old National’s activity in the allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments was as follows: Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of period $ 31,226 $ 32,188 $ 10,879 Provision for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments acquired during the period 1,763 — 11,013 Provision (release) for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments ( 11,335 ) ( 962 ) 10,296 Balance at end of period $ 21,654 $ 31,226 $ 32,188 Credit Quality Old National’s management monitors the credit quality of its loans on an ongoing basis with the AQR for commercial, commercial real estate, and BBCC loans reviewed annually or at renewal and the performance of its residential and consumer loans based upon the accrual status refreshed at least quarterly. Internally, management assigns an AQR to each non-homogeneous commercial, commercial real estate, and BBCC loan in the portfolio. The primary determinants of the AQR are the reliability of the primary source of repayment and the past, present, and projected financial condition of the borrower. The AQR will also consider current industry conditions. Major factors used in determining the AQR can vary based on the nature of the loan, but commonly include factors such as debt service coverage, internal cash flow, liquidity, leverage, operating performance, debt burden, FICO scores, occupancy, interest rate sensitivity, and expense burden. Old National uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention . Loans categorized as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Classified – Substandard . Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Classified – Nonaccrual . Loans classified as nonaccrual have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, in doubt. Classified – Doubtful . Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as nonaccrual, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

For all loan classes, a loan is generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest becomes 90 days past due unless it is well secured and in the process of collection, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collectability of principal or interest. Interest accrued but not received is reversed against earnings. Cash interest received on these loans is applied to the principal balance until the principal is recovered or until the loan returns to accrual status. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, remain current for a prescribed period, and future payments are reasonably assured. 104 The following table presents the aging of the amortized cost basis in past due loans by class of loans: (dollars in thousands) 30-59 Days Past Due 60-89 Days Past Due Past Due 90 Days or More Total Past Due Current Total Loans December 31, 2024 Commercial $ 5,970 $ 12,021 $ 47,257 $ 65,248 $ 9,991,011 $ 10,056,259 Commercial real estate 19,240 12,728 60,145 92,113 16,040,935 16,133,048 BBCC 1,227 861 1,430 3,518 403,221 406,739 Residential 49,331 12,085 26,698 88,114 6,709,472 6,797,586 Indirect 9,700 2,675 1,463 13,838 1,082,940 1,096,778 Direct 2,004 970 1,470 4,444 509,700 514,144 Home equity 4,765 3,399 7,567 15,731 1,265,602 1,281,333 Total $ 92,237 $ 44,739 $ 146,030 $ 283,006 $ 36,002,881 $ 36,285,887 December 31, 2023 Commercial $ 16,128 $ 1,332 $ 4,861 $ 22,321 $ 9,257,145 $ 9,279,466 Commercial real estate 9,081 5,254 30,660 44,995 13,926,576 13,971,571 BBCC 1,368 134 977 2,479 399,343 401,822 Residential 12,358 367 15,249 27,974 6,671,469 6,699,443 Indirect 7,025 1,854 1,342 10,221 1,040,761 1,050,982 Direct 5,436 1,455 1,787 8,678 514,494 523,172 Home equity 7,791 2,347 6,659 16,797 1,048,674 1,065,471 Total $ 59,187 $ 12,743 $ 61,535 $ 133,465 $ 32,858,462 $ 32,991,927 The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans on nonaccrual status and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing by class of loan: December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands) Nonaccrual Amortized Cost Nonaccrual With No Related Allowance Past Due 90 Days or More and Accruing Nonaccrual Amortized Cost Nonaccrual With No Related Allowance Past Due 90 Days or More and Accruing Commercial $ 119,507 $ 30,551 $ 861 $ 43,775 $ 13,143 $ 242 Commercial real estate 233,856 64,453 3,126 158,222 24,507 585 BBCC 4,672 — — 4,706 — 95 Residential 60,454 — — 41,771 — — Indirect 5,372 — — 4,207 — 8 Direct 3,407 — — 5,892 — 31 Home equity 20,711 — 73 16,248 — — Total $ 447,979 $ 95,004 $ 4,060 $ 274,821 $ 37,650 $ 961 Interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans was insignificant during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. 105 When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. A loan is considered collateral dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and the loan is expected to be repaid substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. The class of loan represents the primary collateral type associated with the loan. Significant quarter-over-quarter changes are reflective of changes in nonaccrual status and not necessarily associated with credit quality indicators like appraisal value.

There were no material payment defaults on these loans subsequent to their modifications during the year ended December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, Old National had no t committed to lend any material additional funds to the borrowers whose loans were modified due to financial difficulties.

Finance Leases Old National leases certain banking center buildings and equipment under finance leases that are included in premises and equipment. See Notes 6 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements for detail regarding these leases. NOTE 6 – LEASES Old National determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. Operating leases are included in other assets and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in premises and equipment and other borrowings in our consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, we use the implicit lease rate when readily determinable. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term in an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Old National has operating and finance leases for land, office space, banking centers, and equipment. These leases are generally for periods of 5 to 30 years with various renewal options. We include certain renewal options in the measurement of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities if they are reasonably certain to be exercised. Variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. Variable lease payments that are not dependent on an index or a rate are excluded from the measurement of the lease liability and are recognized in profit and loss when incurred. Variable lease payments are defined as payments made for the right to use an asset that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. Old National has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. For real estate leases, non-lease components and other non-components, such as common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes, and insurance are not included in the measurement of the lease liability since they are generally able to be segregated. For certain equipment leases, Old National accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component using the practical expedient available for that class of assets. Old National does not have any material sub-lease agreements. 108 The components of lease expense were as follows: Affected Line Item in the Statement of Income Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Operating lease cost Occupancy/Equipment expense $ 32,603 $ 31,175 $ 29,368 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets Occupancy expense 6,688 2,921 2,672 Interest on lease liabilities Interest expense 1,039 722 415 Sub-lease income Occupancy expense ( 446 ) ( 387 ) ( 448 ) Total $ 39,884 $ 34,431 $ 32,007 Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows: December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Operating Leases Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 181,920 $ 185,506 Operating lease liabilities 200,068 204,960 Finance Leases Premises and equipment, net 23,205 19,820 Other borrowings 24,822 20,955 Weighted-Average Remaining Lease Term (in Years) Operating leases 7.8 8.5 Finance leases 7.8 10.5 Weighted-Average Discount Rate Operating leases 3.14 % 3.04 % Finance leases 3.96 % 3.90 % Supplemental cash flow information related to leases was as follows: Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 33,281 $ 31,720 $ 30,340 Operating cash flows from finance leases 1,039 722 415 Financing cash flows from finance leases 6,206 2,533 2,475 The following table presents a maturity analysis of the Company’s lease liability by lease classification at December 31, 2024: (dollars in thousands) Operating Leases Finance Leases 2025 $ 34,463 $ 9,215 2026 33,770 2,579 2027 32,025 2,581 2028 27,999 2,264 2029 25,712 1,421 Thereafter 72,906 11,030 Total undiscounted lease payments 226,875 29,090 Amounts representing interest ( 26,807 ) ( 4,268 ) Lease liability $ 200,068 $ 24,822 109 NOTE 7 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill: Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of period $ 1,998,716 $ 1,998,716 $ 1,036,994 Acquisitions and adjustments 176,535 — 961,722 Balance at end of period $ 2,175,251 $ 1,998,716 $ 1,998,716 During 2024, Old National recorded $ 176.5 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition of CapStar.

No valuation allowance was required on the Company’s deferred tax assets at December 31, 2024 or 2023. Old National has federal net operating loss carryforwards totaling $ 60.2 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 63.6 million at December 31, 2023. This federal net operating loss was acquired from the acquisition of Anchor BanCorp Wisconsin Inc. in 2016, First Midwest in 2022, and CapStar in 2024. If not used, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin expiring in 2032 and later. Old National has recorded state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $ 106.0 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 116.9 million at December 31, 2023. If not used, the state net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2028 to 2036. The federal and recorded state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code section 382. Old National believes that all of the federal and recorded state net operating loss carryforwards will be used prior to expiration. 118 Unrecognized Tax Benefits Old National has unrecognized tax benefits due to the merger with First Midwest. The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of unrecognized tax benefits: Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Balance at beginning of period $ 9,955 $ 11,007 $ — Additions for acquired uncertain tax positions — — 14,897 Additions based on tax positions related to prior years — 60 — Reductions for tax positions relating to prior years — — ( 2,751 ) Reductions due to statute of limitations expiring ( 2,961 ) ( 1,112 ) ( 1,139 ) Balance at end of period $ 6,994 $ 9,955 $ 11,007 If recognized, approximately $ 5.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, net of interest, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. Old National expects the $ 5.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits to be reduced to $ 5.0 million in the next twelve months. It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued relative to unrecognized tax benefits in their respective federal or state income tax accounts. Interest and penalties recorded and accrued in 2024 and 2023 were immaterial. Old National and its subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as filing various state returns. The 2021 through 2024 tax years are open and subject to examination. NOTE 16 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Our Amended and Restated 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “ICP”), which was approved by shareholders, permits the grant of share-based awards to our employees. At December 31, 2024, 4.9 million shares were available for issuance. The granting of awards to key employees is typically in the form of restricted stock or performance share awards or units. We believe that such awards better align the interests of our employees with those of our shareholders. Total compensation cost included in salaries and employee benefits for the ICP was $ 32.3 million in 2024, $ 27.9 million in 2023, and $ 28.7 million in 2022. The total income tax benefit was $ 7.9 million in 2024, $ 6.9 million in 2023, and $ 7.1 million in 2022. Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock awards require certain continued service requirements to be met and shares generally vest, depending on the award terms, annually over a three-year period, at the end of a one-year period, cliff vest in three years from the grant date, or vest 50 % on the second anniversary of the grant date and 50 % on the third anniversary of the grant date. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Shares are subject to certain restrictions and risk of forfeiture by the participants. A summary of changes in our unvested shares follows: Years Ended December 31, 2024 2023 (shares in thousands) Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested balance at beginning of period 1,932 $ 16.51 1,869 $ 17.76 Granted during the year 2,392 16.64 1,042 15.43 Vested during the year ( 955 ) 17.36 ( 924 ) 17.80 Forfeited during the year ( 80 ) 16.38 ( 55 ) 16.84 Unvested balance at end of period 3,289 $ 16.47 1,932 $ 16.51 As of December 31, 2024, there was $ 31.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. The total fair value of the shares vested was $ 16.6 million in 2024, $ 15.1 million in 2023, and $ 7.9 million in 2022. 119 Performance Shares or Units Performance shares or units require certain performance goals to be achieved and shares are earned and vest at the end of a 36 month period based on the achievement of certain targets. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the award. For certain awards, the level of performance could increase or decrease the number of shares earned. Shares are subject to certain restrictions and risk of forfeiture by the participants. A summary of changes in our unvested shares follows: Years Ended December 31, 2024 2023 (shares in thousands) Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested balance at beginning of period 1,177 $ 17.50 2,081 $ 17.23 Granted during the year 415 18.88 355 18.01 Vested during the year ( 472 ) 17.01 ( 1,286 ) 16.29 Forfeited during the year ( 32 ) 18.50 ( 8 ) 17.82 Dividend equivalents adjustment 33 18.22 35 17.21 Unvested balance at end of period 1,121 $ 18.21 1,177 $ 17.50 As of December 31, 2024, there was $ 6.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. Stock Options and Appreciation Rights Old National has not granted stock options since 2009. However, Old National did acquire stock options and stock appreciation rights through its prior acquisitions. Old National recorded no incremental expense associated with the conversion of these options and stock appreciation rights. As of December 31, 2024, all options were fully vested, and all compensation costs had been expensed. At December 31, 2024, no stock appreciation rights were outstanding as the remaining awards were exercised during 2023. Information related to stock option and appreciation rights follows: Year Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Intrinsic value of options/appreciation rights exercised $ — $ 70 $ 331 Tax benefit realized from options/appreciation rights exercises — 28 132 Non-employee Director Stock Compensation Compensation paid to Old National’s non-employee directors includes a stock component. Shares issued as part of director compensation are granted annually. Any shares awarded to directors are anticipated to be issued from the ICP. In 2024, 26 thousand shares were issued to directors, compared to 41 thousand shares in 2023, and 19 thousand shares in 2022. Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Employee Stock Ownership and Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) allows employees to make pre-tax and Roth 401(k) contributions. Subject to the conditions and limitations of the 401(k) Plan, new employees are automatically enrolled in the 401(k) Plan with an automatic deferral of 5 % of eligible compensation, unless participation is changed or declined. All active participants receive a Company match of 100 % of the first 5 % contributed into the 401(k) Plan. In addition to matching contributions, Old National may make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan in the form of Old National stock or cash. In 2024, Old National made a discretionary employer cash contribution of 4 % of participants’ eligible 2023 compensation. There were no designated discretionary 120 contributions in 2023 or 2022. All contributions vest immediately, and plan participants may elect to redirect funds among any of the investment options provided under the 401( k) Plan. The number of Old National shares in the 401(k) Plan were 0.9 million at December 31, 2024 and 1.1 million at December 31, 2023. All shares owned through the 401(k) Plan are included in the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating diluted and basic earnings per share. Contribution expense under the 401(k) Plan was $ 34.8 million in 2024, $ 20.3 million in 2023, and $ 17.9 million in 2022. NOTE 17 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan Old National has a stock purchase and dividend reinvestment plan under which common shares issued may be either repurchased shares or authorized and previously unissued shares. A new plan became effective on August 13, 2024, with total authorized and unissued shares of common stock reserved for issuance of 3.0 million. At December 31, 2024, 3.0 million authorized and unissued shares of common stock were available for issuance under the plan. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Old National has an employee stock purchase plan under which eligible employees can purchase common shares at a discount to the market price. Currently, the discount under the plan is set at 5 % of the fair value of the common shares on the purchase date (i.e., at a purchase price of 95 %). No participant may purchase common shares with a fair value in excess of $ 25,000 in any calendar year. In 2024, 62,000 shares were issued related to this plan with proceeds of approximately $ 1.0 million. In 2023, 75,000 shares were issued related to this plan with proceeds of approximately $ 1.1 million. Share Repurchase Program In the first quarter of 2024, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorized the Company to repurchase up to $ 200 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, as conditions warrant, through February 28, 2025. During 2024, no common shares were repurchased under the plan. On February 19, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program, under which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $ 200 million of its outstanding common stock through February 28, 2026. This new stock repurchase program replaces the prior $ 200 million program, which was scheduled to expire February 28, 2025. Net Income per Common Share Basic and diluted net income per common share are calculated using the two-class method. Net income applicable to common shares is divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Adjustments to the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding are made only when such adjustments will dilute net income per common share. Net income applicable to common shares is then divided by the weighted-average number of common shares and common share equivalents during the period. 121 The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income per common share: (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data) Years Ended December 31, 2024 2023 2022 Net income $ 539,188 $ 581,992 $ 428,287 Preferred dividends ( 16,135 ) ( 16,135 ) ( 14,118 ) Net income applicable to common shares $ 523,053 $ 565,857 $ 414,169 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Weighted average common shares outstanding (basic) 309,499 290,748 275,179 Effect of dilutive securities (1) : Restricted stock 1,502 1,107 1,502 Stock appreciation rights — — 7 Weighted average diluted shares outstanding 311,001 291,855 276,688 Basic Net Income Per Common Share $ 1.69 $ 1.95 $ 1.51 Diluted Net Income Per Common Share $ 1.68 $ 1.94 $ 1.50 (1) Old National had potentially dilutive shares from forward sale contracts for the year ended December 31, 2024 that were determined to be antidilutive and have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share. NOTE 18 – FAIR VALUE Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values: • Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. • Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Old National used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument: Investment securities and equity securities : The fair values for investment securities and equity securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Discounted cash flows are calculated using swap and SOFR curves plus spreads that adjust for loss severities, volatility, credit risk, and optionality. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on individual securities are reviewed and incorporated into the calculations. Loans held-for-sale : The fair value of loans held-for-sale is determined using quoted prices for a similar asset, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan (Level 2). Derivative financial instruments : The fair values of derivative financial instruments are based on market quotes developed using observable inputs as of the valuation date (Level 2). 122 Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which we have elected the fair value option, are summarized below: Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2024 Using (dollars in thousands) Carrying Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Financial Assets Equity securities $ 91,996 $ 91,996 $ — $ — Investment securities available-for-sale: U.S. Treasury 199,013 199,013 — — U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies 1,257,906 — 1,257,906 — Mortgage-backed securities - Agency 5,204,891 — 5,204,891 — States and political subdivisions 485,544 — 485,544 — Pooled trust preferred securities 11,322 — 11,322 — Other securities 299,783 — 299,783 — Loans held-for-sale 34,483 — 34,483 — Derivative assets 146,478 — 146,478 — Financial Liabilities Derivative liabilities 244,313 — 244,313 — Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2023 Using (dollars in thousands) Carrying Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Financial Assets Equity securities $ 80,372 $ 80,372 $ — $ — Investment securities available-for-sale: U.S. Treasury 396,733 396,733 — — U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies 1,231,264 — 1,231,264 — Mortgage-backed securities - Agency 4,216,560 — 4,216,560 — States and political subdivisions 535,260 — 535,260 — Pooled trust preferred securities 11,337 — 11,337 — Other securities 321,901 — 321,901 — Loans held-for-sale 32,006 — 32,006 — Derivative assets 166,302 — 166,302 — Financial Liabilities Derivative liabilities 268,916 — 268,916 — Non-Recurring Basis Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2024 are summarized below: Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2024 Using (dollars in thousands) Carrying Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Collateral Dependent Loans: Commercial loans $ 33,658 $ — $ — $ 33,658 Commercial real estate loans 121,393 — — 121,393 Foreclosed Assets: Commercial real estate 975 — — 975 Residential 244 — — 244 123 Commercial and commercial real estate loans that are deemed collateral dependent are valued using the discounted cash flows. The liquidation amounts are based on the fair value of the underlying collateral using the most recently available appraisals with certain adjustments made based on the type of property, age of appraisal, current status of the property, and other related factors to estimate the current value of the collateral. These commercial and commercial real estate loans had a principal amount of $ 213.8 million, with a valuation allowance of $ 58.7 million at December 31, 2024. Old National recorded provision expense associated with commercial and commercial real estate loans that were deemed collateral dependent totaling $ 49.0 million in 2024. Other real estate owned and other repossessed property is measured at fair value less costs to sell on a non-recurring basis and had a net carrying amount of $ 1.2 million at December 31, 2024. There were write-downs of other real estate owned of $ 0.5 million in 2024. Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2023 are summarized below: Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2023 Using (dollars in thousands) Carrying Value Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Collateral Dependent Loans: Commercial loans $ 11,017 $ — $ — $ 11,017 Commercial real estate loans 95,457 — — 95,457 Foreclosed Assets: Commercial real estate 1,669 — — 1,669 At December 31, 2023, commercial and commercial real estate loans that were deemed collateral dependent had a principal amount of $ 134.3 million, with a valuation allowance of $ 27.9 million. Old National recorded provision expense associated with these loans totaling $ 20.5 million in 2023. The net carrying amount of other real estate owned and other repossessed property totaled $ 1.7 million at December 31, 2023. There were write-downs of other real estate owned of $ 0.1 million in 2023.

(2) There was only one foreclosed commercial real estate property and one foreclosed residential real estate property at December 31, 2024 with write-downs during 2024, so no range or weighted average is reported. 124 Fair Value Option Old National may elect to report most financial instruments and certain other items at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in net income. After the initial adoption, the election is made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability, or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not be revoked once an election is made. Loans Held-For-Sale Old National has elected the fair value option for loans held-for-sale. For these loans, interest income is recorded in the consolidated statements of income based on the contractual amount of interest income earned on the financial assets (except any that are on nonaccrual status). None of these loans are 90 days or more past due, nor are any on nonaccrual status. Included in the income statement is interest income for loans held-for-sale totaling $ 2.3 million in 2024, $ 1.2 million in 2023, and $ 1.8 million in 2022. Newly originated conforming fixed-rate and adjustable-rate first mortgage loans are intended for sale and are hedged with derivative instruments. Old National has only elected the fair value option for other instruments in order to mitigate accounting mismatches in cases where hedge accounting is complex and to achieve operational simplification. The fair value option was not elected for loans held for investment. The difference between the aggregate fair value and the aggregate remaining principal balance for loans for which the fair value option has been elected was as follows: (dollars in thousands) Aggregate Fair Value Difference Contractual Principal December 31, 2024 Loans held-for-sale $ 34,483 $ 271 $ 34,212 December 31, 2023 Loans held-for-sale $ 32,006 $ 621 $ 31,385 Accrued interest at period end is included in the fair value of the instruments.

NOTE 19 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS As part of our overall interest rate risk management, Old National uses derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, collars, and floors. The notional amount does not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual agreements. Derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value and are not reported on a net basis. Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. Old National’s exposure is limited to the termination value of the contracts rather than the notional, principal, or contract amounts. There are provisions in our agreements with the counterparties that allow for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed thresholds are collateralized. In addition, we minimize credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures. Derivatives Designated as Hedges Subsequent changes in fair value for a hedging instrument that has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship are accounted for in the following manner: Cash flow hedges : changes in fair value are recognized as a component in other comprehensive income (loss). Fair value hedges : changes in fair value are recognized concurrently in earnings. As long as a hedging instrument is designated, and the results of the effectiveness testing support that the instrument qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, 100 % of the periodic changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are accounted for as outlined above. This is the case whether or not economic mismatches exist in the hedging 127 relationship. As a result, there is no periodic measurement or recognition of ineffectiveness. Rather, the full impact of hedge gains and losses is recognized in the period in which the hedged transactions impact earnings. The change in fair value of the hedging instrument that is included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is presented in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item. Cash Flow Hedges Interest rate swaps of certain borrowings were designated as cash flow hedges totaling $ 150.0 million notional amount at both December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Interest rate swaps, collars, and floors related to variable-rate commercial loan pools were designated as cash flow hedges totaling $ 1.9 billion notional amount at December 31, 2024 and $ 1.6 billion notional amount at December 31, 2023. The hedges were determined to be effective during all periods presented and we expect them to remain effective during the remaining terms. Old National has designated its interest rate collars as cash flow hedges. The structure of these instruments is such that Old National pays the counterparty an incremental amount if the collar index exceeds the cap rate. Conversely, Old National receives an incremental amount if the index falls below the floor rate. No payments are required if the collar index falls between the cap and floor rates. Old National has designated its interest rate floor transactions as cash flow hedges. The structure of these instruments is such that Old National receives an incremental amount if the index falls below the floor strike rate. No payments are required if the index remains above the floor strike rate. Fair Value Hedges Interest rate swaps of certain borrowings were designated as fair value hedges totaling $ 1.1 billion notional amount at December 31, 2024 and $ 900.0 million notional amount at December 31, 2023. Interest rate swaps of certain available-for-sale investment securities were designated as fair value hedges totaling $ 927.4 million notional amount at December 31, 2024 and $ 998.1 million notional amount at December 31, 2023. The hedges were determined to be effective during all periods presented and we expect them to remain effective during the remaining terms.

During the next 12 months, we estimate that $ 4.2 million will be reclassified to interest income and $ 17.6 million will be reclassified to interest expense. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges Commitments to fund certain mortgage loans (“interest rate lock commitments”) and forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans to third party investors (“forward mortgage loan contracts”) are considered derivatives. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting. At December 31, 2024, the notional amounts of the interest rate lock commitments were $ 57.4 million and forward mortgage loan contracts were $ 88.8 million. At December 31, 2023, the notional amounts of the interest rate lock commitments were $ 25.2 million and forward commitments were $ 39.5 million. It is our practice to enter into forward mortgage loan contracts for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans to third-party investors when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates resulting from our commitment to fund the loans. Old National also enters into derivative instruments for the benefit of its clients. The notional amounts of these customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $ 6.3 billion at December 31, 2024 and $ 6.0 billion at December 31, 2023. These derivative contracts do not qualify for hedge 129 accounting. These instruments include interest rate swaps and collars. Commonly, Old National will economically hedge significant exposures related to these derivative contracts entered into for the benefit of clients by entering into offsetting contracts with approved, reputable, independent counterparties with substantially matching terms. Old National enters into derivative financial instruments as part of its foreign currency risk management strategies. These derivative instruments consist of foreign currency forward contracts to accommodate the business needs of its clients. Old National does not designate these foreign currency forward contracts for hedge accounting treatment.

Fair Value of Offsetting Derivatives Certain derivative instruments are subject to master netting agreements with counterparties that provide rights of setoff. The Company records these transactions at their gross fair values and does not offset derivative assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s derivatives and offsetting positions: December 31, 2024 2023 (dollars in thousands) Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Gross amounts recognized $ 146,478 $ 244,313 $ 166,302 $ 268,916 Less: amounts offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet — — — — Net amount presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet 146,478 244,313 166,302 268,916 Gross amounts not offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Offsetting derivative positions ( 24,098 ) ( 24,098 ) ( 39,360 ) ( 39,360 ) Cash collateral pledged — ( 112,499 ) — ( 97,840 ) Net credit exposure $ 122,380 $ 107,716 $ 126,942 $ 131,716 130 NOTE 20 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND FINANCIAL GUARANTEES Litigation At December 31, 2024, there were certain legal proceedings pending against the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of any legal proceeding is inherently uncertain, based on information currently available, the Company’s management does not expect that any potential liabilities arising from pending litigation will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, or results of operations. Credit-Related Financial Instruments Old National holds instruments, in the normal course of business with clients, that are considered financial guarantees and are recorded at fair value. Standby letters of credit guarantees are issued in connection with agreements made by clients to counterparties. Standby letters of credit are contingent upon failure of the client to perform the terms of the underlying contract. Credit risk associated with standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that associated with extending loans to clients and is subject to normal credit policies. The term of these standby letters of credit is typically one year or less. These commitments are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes Old National Bank’s unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit: December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Unfunded loan commitments (1) $ 8,533,433 $ 8,912,587 Standby letters of credit (2) 194,323 192,237 (1) Excludes cancellable loan commitments of $ 2.5 billion at December 31, 2024 and $ 2.3 billion at December 31, 2023. (2) Notional amount, which represents the maximum amount of future funding requirements. The carrying value was $ 1.7 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 1.3 million at December 31, 2023. At December 31, 2024, approximately 4 % of the unfunded loan commitments had fixed rates, with the remainder having floating rates ranging from 0.00 % to 21.49 %. The allowance for unfunded loan commitments totaled $ 21.7 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 31.2 million at December 31, 2023. Old National is a party in risk participation transactions of interest rate swaps, which had total notional amounts of $ 730.5 million at December 31, 2024 and $ 557.8 million at December 31, 2023. Visa Class B Restricted Shares In 2008, Old National received Visa Class B restricted shares as part of Visa’s initial public offering. During the fourth quarter of 2023, Old National sold the 65,466 Class B shares and recognized a $ 21.6 million pre-tax gain. Prior to the sale, the shares were carried at a zero cost basis due to uncertainty surrounding the ability of the Company to transfer or otherwise liquidate the shares. After the sale, the Company did not hold any remaining Visa Class B restricted shares. NOTE 21 – REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks Old National did no t have cash and due from banks which was held as collateral for collateralized swap positions at December 31, 2024, compared to $ 0.3 million at December 31, 2023. Restrictions on Transfers from Bank Subsidiary Regulations limit the amount of dividends a bank subsidiary can declare in any calendar year without obtaining prior regulatory approval. Prior regulatory approval is required if dividends to be declared in any calendar year would exceed the total of net income of the current year combined with retained net income for the preceding two years . Prior regulatory approval to pay dividends was not required in 2022, 2023, or 2024 and is not currently required. A bank subsidiary is prohibited from paying a dividend, if, after making the dividend, the bank would be considered “undercapitalized” (as defined by reference to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (“OCC’s”) capital 131 regulations). At December 31, 2024, Old National Bank could pay dividends of $ 889.2 million without prior regulatory approval and while maintaining capital levels above regulatory minimum and well-capitalized guidelines. Restrictions on the Payment of Dividends Old National has traditionally paid a quarterly dividend on its outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock. The payment of dividends is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions, as well as approval by our Board of Directors. Any payment of dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on Old National’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors. Capital Adequacy Old National and Old National Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can elicit certain mandatory actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Old National’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Old National and Old National Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Old National and Old National Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as set forth in the following tables. At December 31, 2024, Old National and Old National Bank each exceeded the capital ratios required to be considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulations. 132 The following table summarizes capital ratios for Old National and Old National Bank: Actual Regulatory Minimum (1) Prompt Corrective Action “Well Capitalized” Guidelines (2) (dollars in thousands) Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio December 31, 2024 Total capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp $ 5,388,882 13.37 % $ 4,233,054 10.50 % $ 4,031,480 10.00 % Old National Bank 5,103,487 12.72 4,214,255 10.50 4,013,577 10.00 Common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp 4,587,674 11.38 2,822,036 7.00 N/A N/A Old National Bank 4,742,641 11.82 2,809,504 7.00 2,608,825 6.50 Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp 4,831,393 11.98 3,426,758 8.50 2,418,888 6.00 Old National Bank 4,742,641 11.82 3,411,540 8.50 3,210,861 8.00 Tier 1 capital to average assets Old National Bancorp 4,831,393 9.21 2,097,820 4.00 N/A N/A Old National Bank 4,742,641 9.07 2,090,427 4.00 2,613,033 5.00 December 31, 2023 Total capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp $ 4,727,216 12.64 % $ 3,927,771 10.50 % $ 3,740,735 10.00 % Old National Bank 4,591,734 12.33 3,911,089 10.50 3,724,847 10.00 Common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp 4,003,694 10.70 2,618,514 7.00 N/A N/A Old National Bank 4,308,574 11.57 2,607,393 7.00 2,421,150 6.50 Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets Old National Bancorp 4,247,413 11.35 3,179,625 8.50 2,244,441 6.00 Old National Bank 4,308,574 11.57 3,166,120 8.50 2,979,878 8.00 Tier 1 capital to average assets Old National Bancorp 4,247,413 8.83 1,923,360 4.00 N/A N/A Old National Bank 4,308,574 8.99 1,916,002 4.00 2,395,003 5.00 (1) “Regulatory Minimum” capital ratios include the 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” required under the Basel III Capital Rules. (2) “Well-capitalized” minimum common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 capital to average assets ratios are not formally defined under applicable banking regulations for bank holding companies. During 2020, the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the FDIC issued final rules to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital stemming from the implementation of current expected credit loss (“CECL”) guidance. The final rules provide banking organizations the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period (five-year transition option). Old National adopted the capital transition relief over the permissible five-year period. 133 NOTE 22 – PARENT COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following are the condensed parent company only financial statements of Old National: OLD NATIONAL BANCORP (PARENT COMPANY ONLY) CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 Assets Deposits in affiliate bank $ 299,179 $ 284,294 Equity securities 63,067 51,241 Investment securities - available-for-sale 17,363 15,886 Investment in affiliates: Banking subsidiaries 6,159,143 5,530,637 Non-banks 39,412 44,395 Goodwill 59,627 59,506 Other assets 136,218 127,540 Total assets $ 6,774,009 $ 6,113,499 Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity Other liabilities $ 103,967 $ 70,840 Other borrowings 329,692 479,759 Shareholders’ equity 6,340,350 5,562,900 Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity $ 6,774,009 $ 6,113,499 OLD NATIONAL BANCORP (PARENT COMPANY ONLY) CONDENSED STATEMENTS OF INCOME Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Income Dividends from affiliates $ 385,000 $ 150,000 $ — Other income 9,004 2,919 1,733 Other income from affiliates 5 5 5 Total income 394,009 152,924 1,738 Expense Interest on borrowings 19,445 20,700 16,662 Other expenses 41,231 43,185 37,629 Total expense 60,676 63,885 54,291 Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in undistributed earnings of affiliates 333,333 89,039 ( 52,553 ) Income tax expense (benefit) ( 6,642 ) ( 11,325 ) ( 9,901 ) Income (loss) before equity in undistributed earnings of affiliates 339,975 100,364 ( 42,652 ) Equity in undistributed earnings of affiliates 199,213 481,628 470,939 Net income 539,188 581,992 428,287 Preferred dividends ( 16,135 ) ( 16,135 ) ( 14,118 ) Net income applicable to common shareholders $ 523,053 $ 565,857 $ 414,169 134 OLD NATIONAL BANCORP (PARENT COMPANY ONLY) CONDENSED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS Years Ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2022 Cash Flows From Operating Activities Net income $ 539,188 $ 581,992 $ 428,287 Adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities: Depreciation 26 18 26 Share-based compensation expense 32,283 27,910 28,656 (Increase) decrease in other assets 12,149 ( 19,353 ) ( 40,620 ) Increase (decrease) in other liabilities 11,772 ( 2,561 ) 10,455 Equity in undistributed earnings of affiliates ( 199,213 ) ( 481,628 ) ( 470,939 ) Net cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities 396,205 106,378 ( 44,135 ) Cash Flows From Investing Activities Net cash and cash equivalents of acquisitions — — 573,099 Proceeds from sales of equity securities — — 44,038 Purchase of equity securities ( 7,244 ) ( 17,773 ) — Purchases of investment securities — — ( 9,000 ) Purchases of premises and equipment ( 76 ) ( 8 ) — Net cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities ( 7,320 ) ( 17,781 ) 608,137 Cash Flows From Financing Activities Payments for maturities/redemptions of other borrowings ( 174,987 ) — — Cash dividends paid ( 191,163 ) ( 180,030 ) ( 177,623 ) Common stock repurchased ( 8,884 ) ( 44,308 ) ( 71,182 ) Common stock issued 1,034 1,076 809 Net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities ( 374,000 ) ( 223,262 ) ( 247,996 ) Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 14,885 ( 134,665 ) 316,006 Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period 284,294 418,959 102,953 Cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 299,179 $ 284,294 $ 418,959 NOTE 23 – SEGMENT INFORMATION Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in assessing performance and in deciding how to allocate resources. Old National’s CODM is the Chairman and CEO of the Company. Through our wholly owned banking subsidiary and non-bank affiliates, we provide a wide range of services primarily throughout the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States and elsewhere, including commercial and consumer loan and depository services, private banking, capital markets, brokerage, wealth management, trust, investment advisory, and other traditional banking services. The Company’s business activities are predominantly similar in their nature, operations, and economic characteristics, largely serving commercial and specialty banking clients with products and services that are offered through overall similar processes and platforms. The accounting policies for the services discussed here are the same as those described in Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies. We earn interest income on loans as well as fee income from the origination of loans and from fees charged on deposit accounts. Lending activities include loans to individuals, which primarily consist of home equity lines of credit, residential real estate loans, and consumer loans, and loans to commercial clients, which include commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, agricultural loans, letters of credit, and lease financing. Residential real estate loans are either kept in our loan portfolio or sold to secondary investors, with gains or losses from the sales being recognized. The CODM uses consolidated net income to monitor results, evaluate budget-to-actual variances, perform competitive analyses that benchmark the Company to competitors, and determine whether to reinvest earnings in the Company or to deploy capital in other ways to maximize shareholder value. The CODM is regularly provided with 135 the consolidated income and expenses, as well as assets, as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources on a Company-wide basis. The CODM also uses such information to monitor the level of expenses incurred associated with the various aspects of the Company’s business that support our clients, generate revenues, and are associated with the overall administration of the Company’s operations. In addition, certain internal financial information is also used by the CODM to monitor credit quality and credit loss expense. As a result, the Company has determined that it has only one reportable segment. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE Not applicable.
