Exhibit 99.4
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in the preliminary prospectus supplement dated November 24, 2024 (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”), except that, unless the context requires otherwise, the term “forward sale agreement” as used herein does not include any additional forward sale agreement that we may enter into in connection with the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares in the offering of shares of common stock contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement (the “Offering”).
Introduction
Old National is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data to aid shareholders in their analysis of the financial aspects of the Merger and the forward sale agreement. See “Summary — Recent Developments — Proposed Acquisition of Bremer Financial Corporation” for more information on the Merger and see “Underwriting (Conflicts of Interest) — Forward Sale Agreement” for a description of the forward sale agreement. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Old National as of September 30, 2024 with the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Bremer as of September 30, 2024, giving effect to the Merger and the forward sale agreement as if the Merger had been consummated and the forward sale agreement had been fully physically settled on September 30, 2024.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2023, combines the audited consolidated statement of income of Old National for the year ended December 31, 2023, with the audited consolidated statement of income of Bremer for the year ended December 31, 2023, giving effect to the Merger and the forward sale agreement as if the Merger had been consummated and the forward sale agreement had been fully physically settled on January 1, 2023.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, combines the unaudited consolidated statement of income of Old National for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, with the unaudited consolidated statement of income of Bremer for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, giving effect to the Merger and the forward sale agreement as if the Merger had been consummated and the forward sale agreement had been fully physically settled on January 1, 2023. Old National’s acquisition of CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc., which was completed on April 1, 2024, is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as presented here, as such acquisition (individually, and when considered together with all other individually insignificant transactions by Old National since December 31, 2023) was not considered significant under Regulation S-X.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data was derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the following historical financial statements and the accompanying notes, which are included or incorporated by reference into the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying base prospectus:
| · | The historical audited consolidated financial statements of Old National as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 (included in Old National’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023); |
| · | The historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Old National as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (included in Old National’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024); |
| · | The historical audited consolidated financial statements of Bremer as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 (included in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement); and |
| · | The historical unaudited consolidated financial statements of Bremer as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (included in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement); |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should also be read together with other financial data included elsewhere or incorporated by reference into the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
The foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data has been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data. The pro forma adjustments reflect transaction accounting adjustments related to the Merger and the forward sale agreement, all of which are discussed in further detail below. Amounts presented reflect the accounting for the acquisition of Bremer by Old National. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent the combined company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position that would actually have occurred had the Merger been consummated and the forward sale agreement been fully physically settled on the dates assumed or to project the combined company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position for any future date or period.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data appearing below also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions, certain asset dispositions (including the proposed sale of approximately $2.4 billion of commercial real estate loans at, or shortly after the completion of the Merger), cost savings, or revenue synergies, among other factors, and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is subject to adjustment and may vary significantly from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the Merger.
Accounting for the Merger
The acquisition of Bremer will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The total purchase price will be allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their respective fair values. The allocation of the purchase price reflected in the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is preliminary and is subject to adjustment upon receipt of, among other things, appraisals of some of the assets and liabilities of Bremer. Upon completion of the Merger, a final determination of the fair values of Bremer assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase price as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data may change the amount of the total purchase consideration allocated to goodwill, deferred taxes, and other assets and liabilities, and may impact the combined company’s statement of income.
Forward Sale Agreement
In connection with the forward sale agreement, the forward purchaser or its affiliate is expected to borrow from third parties an aggregate of shares of our common stock. Such borrowed shares of our common stock will be delivered by the forward seller for sale to the underwriters in this offering. In the event that (i) the forward purchaser (or its affiliate) is unable through commercially reasonable efforts to borrow and deliver for sale to the underwriters on the anticipated closing date the number of shares of our common stock to be sold to the underwriters or (ii) in the forward purchaser’s commercially reasonable judgment either it is impracticable to do so or the forward purchaser (or its affiliate) would incur a stock loan rate greater than a specified rate to borrow and deliver for sale to the underwriters on the anticipated closing date such number of shares of our common stock, or if certain other conditions to the forward seller’s obligations have not been satisfied, then we will issue and sell directly to the underwriters a number of shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares of our common stock that the forward purchaser or its affiliate does not borrow and deliver. Under such circumstances, the number of shares of our common stock underlying the forward sale agreement will be decreased by the number of shares of our common stock that we issue and sell to the underwriters. For purposes of this section “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data,” we have assumed a total offering size of $400.0 million in the offering contemplated by the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.
We will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock sold by the forward seller to the underwriter. We expect to physically settle the forward sale agreement at the assumed offering size of $400.0 million (by the delivery of shares of our common stock) and receive proceeds from the sale of those shares of our common stock upon one or more forward settlement dates within approximately 12 months from the date hereof. We may also elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreement. If we elect to cash settle or net share settle the forward sale agreement, then we may not receive any proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock in respect of the forward sale agreement, and we will instead receive or pay cash (in the case of cash settlement) or receive or deliver shares of our common stock (in the case of net share settlement).
Basis of Pro Forma Presentation
The historical financial data of Old National and Bremer has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to the transaction accounting required for the Merger and the forward sale agreement. The adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary to evaluate the financial overview of the combined company upon closing of the Merger and full physical settlement of the forward sale agreement at the assumed offering size of $400.0 million.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s balance sheet or statement of income would have been had the Merger been completed and the forward sale agreement been fully physically settled at the assumed offering size of $400.0 million as of the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or cost savings or synergies that may be achieved because of the Merger. Bremer and Old National have not had any historical material relationship before the Merger. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities among the companies.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The pro forma condensed combined financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the merger under the acquisition method of accounting with Old National as the acquirer. The pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the financial condition or results of operations of the combined company had the companies been combined at the beginning of each period presented, nor does it necessarily indicate the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined company. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of Bremer, as of the effective date of the Merger, will be recorded by Old National at their respective fair values and the excess of the Merger Consideration over the fair value of Bremer’s net assets will be allocated to goodwill.
In connection with the Merger, which is currently expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025 subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, each share of Bremer common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, other than shares of restricted Bremer common stock and certain shares held by Old National or Bremer, will be converted into the right to receive 4.182 shares of our common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares and $26.22 in cash, valuing the transaction at approximately $1.4 billion based on the closing share price of our common stock of $20.93 as of November 20, 2024.
The pro forma allocation of the purchase price reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded at the time of the Merger. Adjustments may include, but not be limited to, changes in (i) Bremer’s balance sheet through the effective time; (ii) the aggregate value of Merger Consideration paid if the price of shares of our common stock varies from the assumed $20.93 per share; (iii) total merger- related expenses if consummation and/or implementation costs vary from currently estimated amounts; and (iv) the underlying values of assets and liabilities if market and credit conditions differ from current assumptions.
