INTRODUCTION

Northeast Indiana Bancorp, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the "Company") is
proposing that the Company's shareholders adopt amendments to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation that will result in a reverse/forward stock split
transaction. If the split transaction is completed our shareholders of record
who hold only fractional shares after giving effect to the 1-for-125 reverse
stock split will receive a payment of $23.50 per share for each pre-split share.
If the split transaction is completed, shareholders of record with fewer than
125 shares prior to the reverse stock split will have no interest in the Company
and will become entitled only to a cash payment for their shares. The Company
expects to pay approximately $332,000 to its shareholders in the aggregate in
the reverse stock split. After the Company completes the reverse stock split and
identifies those shareholders entitled to payment for their pre-split shares, it
will complete a forward stock split in which each share of common stock will be
converted into 125 shares of common stock prost-split. As a result, shareholders
of record who hold 125 or more shares prior to the split transaction will
ultimately hold the same number of shares following the split transaction. The
effect of the split transaction will be to reduce the number of shareholders of
record to less than 300, which will allow the Company to suspend its reporting
obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act").

This Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 is being filed by
the Company pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13e-3
thereunder.

This Schedule 13E-3 is being filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission concurrently with a preliminary proxy statement filed by the Company
pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, pursuant to which the holders of the common stock of the Company will
be given notice of the annual meeting at which they will be asked to approve the
reverse and forward stock splits, and to transact any other business properly
brought before the annual meeting.

The information contained in the proxy statement is hereby expressly
incorporated herein by reference and the responses to each item are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the information contained in the proxy statement.
As of the date hereof, the proxy statement is in preliminary form and is subject
to completion or amendment. This Schedule 13E-3 will be further amended to
reflect such completion or amendment of the proxy statement.

All parenthetical references under the various Items contained in this
Schedule 13E-3 are references to the corresponding Items contained in Regulation
