Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses | NOTE 8 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Old National’s loans consist primarily of loans made to consumers and commercial clients in various industries including manufacturing, agribusiness, transportation, mining, wholesaling, and retailing. Most of Old National’s lending activity occurs within our principal geographic markets of Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Old National manages concentrations of credit exposure by industry, product, geography, customer relationship, and loan size. While loans to lessors of both residential and non-residential real estate exceed 10% of total loans, no individual sub-segment category within those broader categories reach the 10% threshold. The composition of loans by lending classification was as follows: March 31, December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2018 2017 Commercial (1) $ 2,811,629 $ 2,717,269 Commercial real estate: Construction 351,448 374,306 Other 4,098,532 3,980,246 Residential real estate 2,158,532 2,167,053 Consumer credit: Home equity 487,237 507,507 Auto 1,117,027 1,148,672 Other 214,277 223,068 Total loans 11,238,682 11,118,121 Allowance for loan losses (50,381 ) (50,381 ) Net loans $ 11,188,301 $ 11,067,740 (1) Includes direct finance leases of $27.4 million at March 31, 2018 and $29.5 million at December 31, 2017. The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows: Commercial Commercial loans are primarily based 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 customers. Commercial Real Estate These loans are viewed 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. The acquisition of Anchor (MN) on November 1, 2017 added $864.4 million of commercial real estate loans to our portfolio. At 208%, Old National Bank’s commercial real estate loans as a percentage of its risk-based capital remained well below the regulatory guideline limit of 300% at March 31, 2018. 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. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers. Consumer Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. We assumed student loans in the acquisition of Anchor (WI) in May 2016. Student loans are guaranteed by the government from 97% to 100% and totaled $66.0 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $68.2 million at December 31, 2017. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. 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 or other collateral values. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb probable losses incurred in the consolidated loan portfolio. Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is an estimate based on reviews of individual loans, pools of homogeneous loans, assessments of the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions on the portfolio, and historical loss experience. The allowance is increased through a provision charged to operating expense. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance. Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added to the allowance. We utilize a PD and LGD model as a tool to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses for performing commercial and commercial real estate loans. The PD is forecast using a transition matrix to determine the likelihood of a customer’s AQR migrating from its current AQR to any other status within the time horizon. Transition rates are measured using Old National’s own historical experience. The model assumes that recent historical transition rates will continue into the future. The LGD is defined as credit loss incurred when an obligor of the bank defaults. The sum of all net charge-offs for a particular portfolio segment are divided by all loans that have defaulted over a given period of time. The expected loss derived from the model considers the PD, LGD, and exposure at default. Additionally, qualitative factors, such as changes in lending policies or procedures, and economic business conditions are also considered. We use historic loss ratios adjusted for economic conditions to determine the appropriate level of allowance for residential real estate and consumer loans. No allowance was brought forward on any of the acquired loans as any credit deterioration evident in the loans was included in the determination of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date. An allowance for loan losses will be established for any subsequent credit deterioration or adverse changes in expected cash flows. Old National’s activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows: Commercial (dollars in thousands) Commercial Real Estate Residential Consumer Total Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 19,246 $ 21,436 $ 1,763 $ 7,936 $ 50,381 Charge-offs (245 ) (3 ) (362 ) (2,075 ) (2,685 ) Recoveries 511 484 148 1,162 2,305 Provision 79 (1,121 ) 214 1,208 380 Balance at end of period $ 19,591 $ 20,796 $ 1,763 $ 8,231 $ 50,381 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Balance at beginning of period $ 21,481 $ 18,173 $ 1,643 $ 8,511 $ 49,808 Charge-offs (470 ) (568 ) (414 ) (1,787 ) (3,239 ) Recoveries 603 1,225 79 1,011 2,918 Provision 494 (877 ) 428 302 347 Balance at end of period $ 22,108 $ 17,953 $ 1,736 $ 8,037 $ 49,834 The following table provides Old National’s recorded investment in loans by portfolio segment at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and other information regarding the allowance: Commercial (dollars in thousands) Commercial Real Estate Residential Consumer Total March 31, 2018 Allowance for loan losses: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 4,024 $ 6,054 $ — $ — $ 10,078 Collectively evaluated for impairment 15,557 14,742 1,763 8,069 40,131 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 10 — — 162 172 Total allowance for loan losses $ 19,591 $ 20,796 $ 1,763 $ 8,231 $ 50,381 Loans and leases outstanding: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 30,092 $ 64,693 $ — $ — $ 94,785 Collectively evaluated for impairment 2,776,738 4,364,309 2,147,693 1,813,910 11,102,650 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 4,799 20,978 10,839 4,631 41,247 Total loans and leases outstanding $ 2,811,629 $ 4,449,980 $ 2,158,532 $ 1,818,541 $ 11,238,682 December 31, 2017 Allowance for loan losses: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 3,424 $ 6,654 $ — $ — $ 10,078 Collectively evaluated for impairment 15,790 14,782 1,763 7,802 40,137 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 32 — — 134 166 Total allowance for loan losses $ 19,246 $ 21,436 $ 1,763 $ 7,936 $ 50,381 Loans and leases outstanding: Individually evaluated for impairment $ 26,270 $ 66,061 $ — $ — $ 92,331 Collectively evaluated for impairment 2,685,847 4,266,665 2,155,750 1,874,002 10,982,264 Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality 5,152 21,826 11,303 5,245 43,526 Total loans and leases outstanding $ 2,717,269 $ 4,354,552 $ 2,167,053 $ 1,879,247 $ 11,118,121 Credit Quality Old National’s management monitors the credit quality of its loans in an on-going manner. Internally, management assigns an AQR to each non-homogeneous commercial and commercial real estate loan in the portfolio, with the exception of certain FICO-scored small business loans. The primary determinants of the AQR are based upon 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: Criticized Classified – Substandard Classified – Nonaccrual Classified – Doubtful Pass rated loans are those loans that are other than criticized, classified – substandard, classified – nonaccrual, or classified – doubtful. The risk category of commercial and commercial real estate loans by class of loans at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was as follows: (dollars in thousands) Commercial Commercial Real Estate - Real Estate - Corporate Credit Exposure Commercial Construction Other Credit Risk Profile by March 31, December 31, March 31, December 31, March 31, December 31, Internally Assigned Grade 2018 2017 2018 2017 2018 2017 Grade: Pass $ 2,657,943 $ 2,577,824 $ 335,761 $ 357,438 $ 3,886,508 $ 3,762,896 Criticized 78,612 74,876 14,782 14,758 81,479 98,451 Classified - substandard 41,899 37,367 — — 71,047 58,584 Classified - nonaccrual 30,823 24,798 905 2,110 31,364 30,108 Classified - doubtful 2,352 2,404 — — 28,134 30,207 Total $ 2,811,629 $ 2,717,269 $ 351,448 $ 374,306 $ 4,098,532 $ 3,980,246 Old National considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For residential and consumer loan classes, Old National also evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan and by payment activity. The following table presents the recorded investment in residential and consumer loans based on payment activity at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017: Consumer (dollars in thousands) Residential Home Auto Other March 31, 2018 Performing $ 2,137,395 $ 482,214 $ 1,114,511 $ 209,235 Nonperforming 21,137 5,023 2,515 5,043 Total $ 2,158,532 $ 487,237 $ 1,117,026 $ 214,278 December 31, 2017 Performing $ 2,144,882 $ 502,322 $ 1,145,977 $ 217,819 Nonperforming 22,171 5,185 2,695 5,249 Total $ 2,167,053 $ 507,507 $ 1,148,672 $ 223,068 Impaired Loans Large commercial credits are subject to individual evaluation for impairment. Retail credits and other small balance credits that are part of a homogeneous group are not tested for individual impairment unless they are modified as a TDR. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that contractual interest and principal payments will not be collected either for the amounts or by the dates as scheduled in the loan agreement. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Old National’s policy, for all but PCI loans, is to recognize interest income on impaired loans unless the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. The following table shows Old National’s impaired loans at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Only purchased loans that have experienced subsequent impairment since the date acquired are included in the table below.

Interest income recognized on impaired loans during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was immaterial. 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 collectibility of principal or interest. Interest accrued during the current year on such loans is reversed against earnings. Interest accrued in the prior year, if any, is charged to the allowance for loan losses. 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. Loans accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 accrue interest, even though they may be contractually past due, as any nonpayment of contractual principal or interest is considered in the periodic re-estimation of expected cash flows and is included in the resulting recognition of current period loan loss provision or prospective yield adjustments. Old National’s past due financing receivables at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows: (dollars in thousands) 30-59 Days 60-89 Days Past Due Nonaccrual Total Current March 31, 2018 Commercial $ 1,068 $ 195 $ 10 $ 33,175 $ 34,448 $ 2,777,181 Commercial Real Estate: Construction — — — 905 905 350,543 Other 1,779 932 — 59,498 62,209 4,036,323 Residential 21,071 909 16 21,137 43,133 2,115,399 Consumer: Home equity 1,965 183 16 5,023 7,187 480,050 Auto 4,904 1,139 214 2,515 8,772 1,108,255 Other 2,121 1,014 71 5,043 8,249 206,028 Total loans $ 32,908 $ 4,372 $ 327 $ 127,296 $ 164,903 $ 11,073,779 December 31, 2017 Commercial $ 986 $ 360 $ 144 $ 27,202 $ 28,692 $ 2,688,577 Commercial Real Estate: Construction — — — 2,110 2,110 372,196 Other 2,247 89 — 60,315 62,651 3,917,595 Residential 18,948 3,416 — 22,171 44,535 2,122,518 Consumer: Home equity 1,467 230 68 5,185 6,950 500,557 Auto 6,487 1,402 532 2,695 11,116 1,137,556 Other 3,967 1,514 150 5,249 10,880 212,188 Total loans $ 34,102 $ 7,011 $ 894 $ 124,927 $ 166,934 $ 10,951,187 Loan Participations Old National has loan participations, which qualify as participating interests, with other financial institutions. At March 31, 2018, these loans totaled $580.2 million, of which $301.4 million had been sold to other financial institutions and $278.8 million 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 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. Troubled Debt Restructurings Old National may choose to restructure the contractual terms of certain loans. The decision to restructure a loan, versus aggressively enforcing the collection of the loan, may benefit Old National by increasing the ultimate probability of collection. Any loans that are modified are reviewed by Old National to identify if a TDR has occurred, which is when for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, Old National Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. 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 include one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate of new debt with similar risk, or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment of the loan. Loans modified in a TDR are typically placed on nonaccrual status until we determine the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms for six months. If we are unable to resolve a nonperforming loan issue, the credit will be charged off when it is apparent there will be a loss. For large commercial type loans, each relationship is individually analyzed for evidence of apparent loss based on quantitative benchmarks or subjectively based upon certain events or particular circumstances. Generally, Old National charges off small commercial loans scored through our small business credit center with contractual balances under $250,000 that are 90 days or more delinquent and do not have adequate collateral support. For residential and consumer loans, a charge off is recorded at the time foreclosure is initiated or when the loan becomes 120 to 180 days past due, whichever is earlier. For commercial TDRs, an allocated reserve is established within the allowance for loan losses for the difference between the carrying value of the loan and its computed value. To determine the value of the loan, one of the following methods is selected: (1) the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate, (2) the loan’s observable market price, or (3) the fair value of the collateral value, if the loan is collateral dependent. The allocated reserve is established as the difference between the carrying value of the loan and the collectable value. If there are significant changes in the amount or timing of the loan’s expected future cash flows, impairment is recalculated and the valuation allowance is adjusted accordingly. When a residential or consumer loan is identified as a TDR, the loan is typically written down to its collateral value less selling costs. The following table presents activity in TDRs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017: Commercial (dollars in thousands) Commercial Real Estate Residential Consumer Total Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Balance at beginning of period $ 12,088 $ 34,705 $ 3,315 $ 3,895 $ 54,003 (Charge-offs)/recoveries (129 ) (10 ) 23 298 182 Payments (476 ) (495 ) (276 ) (537 ) (1,784 ) Additions 539 566 — 432 1,537 Interest collected on nonaccrual loans (104 ) (278 ) (4 ) (68 ) (454 ) Balance at end of period $ 11,918 $ 34,488 $ 3,058 $ 4,020 $ 53,484 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 Balance at beginning of period $ 16,802 $ 18,327 $ 2,985 $ 2,602 $ 40,716 (Charge-offs)/recoveries 35 355 — (100 ) 290 Payments (3,827 ) (1,751 ) (142 ) (508 ) (6,228 ) Additions 9,442 — 564 1,924 11,930 Interest collected on nonaccrual loans 2,170 358 — 11 2,539 Balance at end of period $ 24,622 $ 17,289 $ 3,407 $ 3,929 $ 49,247 Approximately $36.9 million of the TDRs at March 31, 2018 were included with nonaccrual loans, compared to $34.0 million of the TDRs at December 31, 2017. Old National has allocated specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs totaling $5.9 million at March 31, 2018 and $5.7 million at December 31, 2017. At March 31, 2018, Old National had committed to lend an additional $4.6 million to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs. The pre-modification and post-modification outstanding recorded investments of loans modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 are the same except for when the loan modifications involve the forgiveness of principal. The following table presents loans by class modified as TDRs that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017: Pre-modification Post-modification Number Outstanding Recorded Outstanding Recorded (dollars in thousands) of Loans Investment Investment Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 TDR: Commercial 1 $ 539 $ 539 Commercial Real Estate - Other 1 566 566 Consumer 1 432 432 Total 3 $ 1,537 $ 1,537 Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 TDR: Commercial 6 $ 9,442 $ 9,442 Residential 3 564 564 Consumer 5 1,924 1,924 Total 14 $ 11,930 $ 11,930 The TDRs that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018 did not change the allowance for loan losses and resulted in no charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The TDRs that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased the allowance for loan losses by $0.1 million due to a change in collateral position on a large commercial loan and resulted in no charge-offs. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification were insignificant during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. It is our process to review all classified and criticized loans that, during the period, have been renewed, have entered into a forbearance agreement, have gone from principal and interest to interest only, or have extended the maturity date. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. The evaluation is performed under our internal underwriting policy. We also evaluate whether a concession has been granted or if we were adequately compensated through a market interest rate, additional collateral or a bona fide guarantee. We also consider whether the modification was insignificant relative to the other terms of the agreement or the delay in a payment. PCI loans are not considered impaired until after the point at which there has been a degradation of cash flows below our expected cash flows at acquisition. If a PCI loan is subsequently modified, and meets the definition of a TDR, it will be removed from PCI accounting and accounted for as a TDR only if the PCI loan was being accounted for individually. If the PCI loan is being accounted for as part of a pool, it will not be removed from the pool. As of March 31, 2018, it has not been necessary to remove any loans from PCI accounting. In general, once a modified loan is considered a TDR, the loan will always be considered a TDR, and therefore impaired, until it is paid in full, otherwise settled, sold or charged off. However, guidance also permits for loans to be removed from TDR status when subsequently restructured under these circumstances: (1) at the time of the subsequent restructuring, the borrower is not experiencing financial difficulties, and this is documented by a current credit evaluation at the time of the restructuring, (2) under the terms of the subsequent restructuring agreement, the institution has granted no concession to the borrower; and (3) the subsequent restructuring agreement includes market terms that are no less favorable than those that would be offered for a comparable new loan. For loans subsequently restructured that have cumulative principal forgiveness, the loan should continue to be measured in accordance with ASC 310-10, Receivables – Overall Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, Creditor Disclosure of Troubled Debt Restructurings Purchased Credit Impaired Loans Purchased loans acquired in a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value on their purchase date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan and lease losses. In determining the estimated fair value of purchased loans, management considers a number of factors including, among others, the remaining life of the acquired loans, estimated prepayments, estimated loss ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral, and net present value of cash flows expected to be received. Purchased loans are accounted for in accordance with guidance for certain loans acquired in a transfer (ASC 310-30), when the loans have evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the acquirer will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the non-accretable difference. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows will generally result in a provision for loan and lease losses. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows will result in a reversal of the provision for loan losses to the extent of prior charges and then an adjustment to accretable yield, which would have a positive impact on interest income. Old National has purchased loans for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. For these loans that meet the criteria of ASC 310-30 treatment, the carrying amount was as follows: March 31, December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2018 2017 Commercial $ 4,799 $ 5,152 Commercial real estate 20,978 21,826 Residential 10,839 11,303 Consumer 4,631 5,245 Carrying amount 41,247 43,526 Allowance for loan losses (172 ) (166 ) Carrying amount, net of allowance $ 41,075 $ 43,360 The outstanding balance of loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, including contractual principal, interest, fees and penalties, was $230.5 million at March 31, 2018 and $235.9 million at December 31, 2017. The accretable difference on PCI loans is the difference between the expected cash flows and the net present value of expected cash flows with such difference accreted into earnings using the effective yield method over the term of the loans. Accretion recorded as loan interest income totaled $4.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Improvement in cash flow expectations has resulted in a reclassification from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield as shown in the table below. Accretable yield of PCI loans, or income expected to be collected, is as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (dollars in thousands) 2018 2017 Balance at beginning of period $ 27,835 $ 33,603 Accretion of income (4,526 ) (4,685 ) Reclassifications from (to) nonaccretable difference 1,379 610 Disposals/other adjustments 4 6 Balance at end of period $ 24,692 $ 29,534 Included in Old National’s allowance for loan losses is $0.2 million related to the purchased loans disclosed above at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. PCI loans purchased during 2017 for which it was probable at acquisition that all contractually required payments would not be collected were as follows: (dollars in thousands) Anchor (MN) (1) Contractually required payments $ 16,898 Nonaccretable difference (4,787 ) Cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition 12,111 Accretable yield (1,556 ) Fair value of acquired loans at acquisition $ 10,555 (1) Old National acquired Anchor (MN) effective November 1, 2017. Income would not be recognized on certain purchased loans if Old National could not reasonably estimate cash flows to be collected. Old National had no purchased loans for which it could not reasonably estimate cash flows to be collected. |
