shareholders of City National who

exchange for their shares of City
National Common Stock will not
recognize gain or loss as a result of
the exchange. Shareholders receiving

respects. Upon consummation of the

PROSPECTUS PROXY STATEMENT
OF OF
OLD NATIONAL BANCORP CITY NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.
-------------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
OF
CITY NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.
TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER 31, 1995
-------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Proxy Statement is furnished to the shareholders of City National in
connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies for use at
the Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 31, 1995, at the main
office of the Bank, located at 306 Lake Street, Fulton, Kentucky 42041. This
Proxy Statement is first being mailed to shareholders of City National on
October 2, 1995.
The purposes of the Special Meeting of Shareholders are to (1) consider and
vote upon the Agreement, under the terms of which City National will affiliate,
through a merger, with ONB and each outstanding share of the City National
Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive 11.5 shares of ONB
Common Stock, subject to adjustment, if any, in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement, and (2) transact such other business which may properly be presented
at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -
Exchange of City National Common Stock".
The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
shares of City National Common Stock is required for approval of the Agreement.
Only holders of City National Common Stock of record at the close of business on
September 26, 1995 ("Record Date") are entitled to notice of, and to vote at,
the Special Meeting. There were 47,965 shares of City National Common Stock
outstanding on the Record Date, which shares were held of record by
approximately 102 shareholders. For each matter to be voted on at the Special
Meeting, each share of City National Common Stock is entitled to one vote.
The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by City National. In addition to
use of the mails, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone or
telegraph by directors, officers and certain employees of City National, who
will not be specially compensated for such soliciting.
The shares represented by proxies properly signed and returned will be voted
at the Special Meeting as instructed by the shareholders of City National giving
the proxies. In the absence of specific instructions to the contrary, proxies
will be voted FOR approval of the Agreement described in this Proxy Statement
and in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors of City
National with respect to any other matter which may properly be presented at the
Special Meeting. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Rights of Dissenting Shareholders
of City National". Any shareholder giving a proxy has the right to revoke it
at any time before it is exercised. Therefore, execution of a proxy will not
affect a shareholder's right to vote
-1-
<PAGE>
in person if he or she attends the Special Meeting. Revocation may be made by a
later dated proxy delivered to City National, by written notice received by the
Secretary of City National prior to the Special Meeting, or by written notice
delivered to the Secretary of City National at the Special Meeting. To be
effective, any revocation must be received before the proxy is exercised.
PROPOSED AFFILIATION
At the Special Meeting, the shareholders of City National will consider and
vote upon the Agreement, certain features of which are summarized below. The
following summary of certain aspects of the Agreement does not purport to be a
complete description of the terms and conditions of the Agreement and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached to
this Proxy Statement as Appendix A and is incorporated herein by reference.
DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFILIATION
Under the terms of the Agreement, City National will affiliate with ONB
through a statutory merger of City National into ONB under the laws of the State
of Indiana. ONB will be the surviving corporation in the Merger and, at the
effective time of the Affiliation, the separate corporate existence of City
National will cease. At such time, the Bank will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ONB.
As of June 30, 1995, City National had consolidated assets of $103 million,
consolidated deposits of $88 million, consolidated shareholders' equity of $8.7
million and consolidated net income for the six months then ended of $500,092.
Based upon the pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this Proxy
Statement and assuming that the Affiliation had been consummated on June 30,
1995, City National represented as of such date 2.3% of the consolidated assets
of ONB, 2.4% of its consolidated deposits, 2.2% of its consolidated
shareholders' equity and, for the six month period then ended, 2.0% of its
consolidated net income. See "PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION".
BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE AFFILIATION
Until 1985, Indiana banking laws prohibited banks located in Indiana from
expanding outside of their home counties. The changes since that time have been
swift, first permitting in-state acquisitions by bank holding companies, then
permitting regional interstate acquisitions, and currently permitting virtual
nationwide expansion opportunities. These developments stimulated aggressive
acquisition activity among financial institutions located in Indiana and
neighboring states, resulting in the entry of large bank holding companies into
virtually every attractive market in the midwestern United States. Moreover,
developments and deregulation in the financial services industry generally have
led to further increases in competition for bank services. Compounded by the
significant increase in bank regulatory burdens over the past decade, these
competitive factors have created an environment in which it is increasingly
difficult for community banks such as the Bank to achieve the economies of scale
necessary to compete effectively.
In response to these competitive and regulatory factors and after evaluation
of financial, economic, legal and market considerations, the Board of Directors
of City National approved the Affiliation as being in the best interests of City
National and its shareholders. Discussions concerning whether to remain
independent or whether to pursue an affiliation with another financial
institution were a frequent topic among the directors of City National.
Discussions regarding a possible affiliation between ONB and City National
-2-
<PAGE>
began in January, 1995, and continued intermittently through the following
months. The Board of Directors of City National met on April 3, 1995, to
consider a merger proposal from ONB. At such time, the Board of Directors
authorized City National's management to negotiate the terms of a merger with
ONB. On April 13, 1995, the parties executed a non-binding written letter of
intent. After a business investigation by ONB and City National of each other,
the parties executed a definitive merger agreement on June 30, 1995. In
determining to pursue the Affiliation, the Board of Directors of City National
specifically considered financial, managerial and other information regarding
ONB and its affiliate banks. In particular, the Board of Directors of City
National evaluated ONB's and City National's respective businesses, financial
condition, reputations and future prospects. The earnings history and stock
performance of ONB were carefully reviewed and discussed with financial experts
with a view towards the investment potential for shareholders of City National.
Among other items considered in this evaluation were the prospects of City
National and ONB, as separate institutions and as combined; the compatibility of
ONB's affiliate banks' markets to that of the Bank's market; the anticipated
tax-free nature of the Affiliation to the shareholders of City National
receiving solely ONB Common Stock in exchange for their shares of City National
Common Stock; the possibility of increased liquidity through ownership of ONB
Common Stock as compared to City National Common Stock because ONB Common Stock
is traded in the over-the-counter market and share prices are reported on the
NASDAQ National Market System; the timeliness of a merger given the state of the
economy and the stock markets as well as anticipated trends in both; regulatory
requirements; relevant price information involving recent comparable bank
acquisitions which occurred in the midwest United States; and an analysis of
alternatives to affiliating with ONB, including other potential acquirors.
The Board of Directors of City National also considered the impact of the
Affiliation on the Bank's customers and employees and the communities served by
the Bank. ONB's historical practice of retaining employees of acquired
institutions with competitive salary and benefit programs was considered, as was
the opportunity for training, education, growth and advancement of the Bank's
employees within ONB or at one of its affiliates. The Board of Directors of
City National examined ONB's continuing commitment to the communities served by
institutions previously acquired by ONB. Further, from the standpoint of the
Bank's customers, it was anticipated that more financial products and services
would become available because of ONB's greater resources.
Based upon the foregoing factors, the Board of Directors of City National
concluded that it was advantageous to affiliate with ONB. The importance of the
various factors relative to one another cannot be precisely determined or
stated.
OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO CITY NATIONAL
Southard Financial ("Southard") has delivered its written opinion to the Board
of Directors of City National that as of June 30, 1995, the consideration
provided for in the Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
holders of City National Common Stock. Southard has provided the following
disclosures to City National for inclusion in this Proxy Statement:
City National retained Southard to act as City National's financial advisor
and to render its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of
the consideration to be paid in the Merger to the holders of City National
Common Stock. In connection with this engagement, Southard evaluated the
financial terms of the Merger, but was not asked to, and did not, recommend the
specific exchange ratio of City
-3-
<PAGE>
National Common Stock for ONB Common Stock. The Exchange Ratio was determined
by the ONB and City National Boards of Directors after arm's length
negotiations.
Southard was selected by City National as its financial advisor in conjunction
with the Merger because of its expertise in the evaluation and valuation of
community bank stocks in Kentucky and throughout the United States. Based in
Memphis, Tennessee, Southard is engaged in the valuation of businesses,
including banks and other financial institutions, and their securities in
connection with mergers and acquisitions, management buyouts, and employee stock
ownership plans. Southard specializes in valuing non-traded securities of
banks, thrifts and other companies for these and other purposes. For rendering
its opinion, City National has agreed to pay Southard a fee of $7,500, plus
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
Southard provided the Board of Directors of City National with a fairness
opinion letter and supporting documentation ("Opinion"). THE FULL TEXT OF THE
FAIRNESS OPINION LETTER OF SOUTHARD, DATED SEPTEMBER 19, 1995, WHICH SETS FORTH
CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS MADE, MATTERS CONSIDERED AND LIMITATIONS ON THE REVIEW
PERFORMED, IS ATTACHED HERETO AS APPENDIX C. THE SUMMARY OF THE OPINION OF
SOUTHARD SET FORTH IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY
REFERENCE TO THE FULL OPINION.
In arriving at its Opinion, Southard reviewed the documents indicated in its
Opinion. Southard did not independently verify the accuracy and/or the
completeness of the financial and other information reviewed in rendering its
Opinion. Southard did not, and was not requested to, solicit third party
indications of interest in acquiring any or all the assets of City National.
Further, Southard did not make an independent determination of the value of the
assets of City National or ONB, nor was it furnished with any such
determinations of value.
In connection with rendering its Opinion, Southard performed a variety of
financial analyses, which are summarized below. Southard believes that its
analyses must be considered as a whole and that considering only selected
factors could create an incomplete view of the analyses and the process
underlying Southard's Opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a
complex process involving subjective judgements and is not susceptible to
partial analyses. In its analyses, Southard made numerous assumptions, many of
which are beyond the control of City National and ONB. Any estimates contained
in the analyses prepared by Southard are not necessarily indicative of future
results or values, which may vary significantly from such estimates. Estimates
of value of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the
prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold. None of the
analyses performed by Southard was assigned a greater significance by Southard
than any other.
DIVIDEND YIELD ANALYSIS:
------------------------
In evaluating the impact of the proposed Merger on the shareholders of City
National, Southard reviewed the dividend paying histories of City National and
ONB. Based upon Southard's review, it is reasonable to expect that the
shareholders of City National, in total, will receive dividends at or above the
level currently paid by City National after the Merger is consummated (defined
as post Merger dividends per share times the Exchange Ratio). This is
predicated on the assumption that ONB will continue per share dividends at or
above current levels.
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS:
---------------------
-4-
<PAGE>
Southard reviewed the financial characteristics of ONB and City National with
respect to profitability, capital ratios, liquidity, asset quality and other
factors. Southard compared ONB and City National to a universe of publicly
traded banks/bank holding companies and to peer groups prepared by the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council. Southard found that the post-Merger
combined entity will have capital ratios and profitability ratios near those of
the public peer group and the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
peer group (predominantly non-publicly traded banks).
EARNINGS YIELD ANALYSIS:
------------------------
In evaluating the impact of the proposed Merger on the shareholders of City
National, Southard analyzed the proforma combined performance for the six month
period ended June 30, 1995. Based upon the proposed Exchange Ratio, the
shareholders of City National would have seen an increase in their share of
earnings (defined as post-Merger combined earnings per share times the Exchange
Ratio). The analysis also suggests expected higher earnings yields for City
National shareholders in subsequent years if the Merger is consummated.
ALTERNATIVES:
-------------
In evaluating the fairness of the proposed Merger to the shareholders of City
National, Southard reviewed with management another offer received for the
purchase/merger of City National. Further, Southard considered recent merger
pricing information.
The summary of the Opinion set forth herein does not purport to be a complete
description of the analyses performed by Southard. The analyses performed by
Southard are not necessarily indicative of actual values, which may differ
significantly from those suggested by such analyses.
THE FULL TEXT OF SOUTHARD'S WRITTEN FAIRNESS OPINION DATED SEPTEMBER 19, 1995,
WHICH SETS FOR THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE, MATTERS CONSIDERED AND LIMITS ON ITS
REVIEW, IS ATTACHED HERETO AS APPENDIX C. CITY NATIONAL SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED
TO AND SHOULD READ SUCH OPINION IN ITS ENTIRETY.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CITY NATIONAL HAS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED AND
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE AGREEMENT AND UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE
SHAREHOLDERS OF CITY NATIONAL APPROVE THE AGREEMENT.
EXCHANGE OF CITY NATIONAL COMMON STOCK
Under the terms of the Agreement, shareholders of City National of record upon
consummation of the Affiliation will be entitled to receive 11.5 shares of ONB
Common Stock ("Exchange Ratio"), subject to adjustment, if any, for stock
splits, stock dividends or any similar recapitalization of ONB, and subject
further to renegotiation in the event either ONB or City National so request
following a change in the 5 day average closing price of ONB Common Stock to
below $32.00 or above $37.00 per share prior to either the Proxy Statement
mailing date or the effective time. As of September 26, 1995, the closing
price of ONB Common Stock was $34.25 per share, as reported by the NASDAQ
National
-5-
<PAGE>
Market System. If the Affiliation had been consummated on that date, the number
of shares of ONB Common Stock exchanged in the Affiliation would have been
551,597, with an aggregate value of approximately $18,892,214.37. See "PROPOSED
AFFILIATION -- Termination".
No fractional shares of ONB Common Stock will be issued to shareholders of
City National in connection with the Affiliation. Each shareholder of City
National who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional interest in a share of
ONB Common Stock as a result of the Exchange Ratio will be paid a cash amount
equal to such fractional interest multiplied by the average of the per share
closing prices of ONB Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market
System for the first five (5) business days on which shares of ONB Common Stock
are traded within the ten (10) calendar days immediately preceding the effective
time of the Affiliation.
After the effective time of the Affiliation, stock certificates previously
representing City National Common Stock will represent only the right to receive
shares of ONB Common Stock and cash for any fractional shares. Following the
effective time of the Affiliation and prior to the surrender by shareholders of
City National of their stock certificates to ONB in exchange for ONB Common
Stock, such shareholders will not be entitled to receive payment of dividends or
other distributions declared on shares of ONB Common Stock. Upon the subsequent
exchange of such certificates, however, any accumulated dividends or other
distributions previously declared and withheld on the shares of ONB Common Stock
will be paid, without interest. At the effective time of the Affiliation, the
stock transfer books of City National will be closed and no transfers of shares
of City National Common Stock will thereafter be made. If, after the effective
time of the Affiliation, certificates representing shares of City National
Common Stock are presented for registration or transfer, they will be canceled
and exchanged for shares of ONB Common Stock, or cash with respect to fractional
share interests or pursuant to the exercise of dissenters' rights.
Distribution of stock certificates representing shares of ONB Common Stock
and any cash payment for fractional shares of ONB Common Stock (without
interest) will be made, after the effective time of the Affiliation, to each
former shareholder of City National within ten (10) business days following the
shareholder's delivery to ONB of his or her certificate(s) representing shares
of City National Common Stock. Instructions as to delivery of stock
certificates of City National to ONB will be sent to each shareholder of City
National within twenty (20) days following the effective time of the
Affiliation.
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
Kentucky law provides shareholders of merging corporations with certain
dissenters' rights. The dissenters' rights of City National shareholders are
set forth in Kentucky Revised Statutes ("KRS") Subtitle 271B.13, a copy of which
is attached to this Proxy Statement-Prospectus as Appendix B. Shareholders of
City National will be entitled to dissenters' rights only upon strict compliance
with the procedures of KRS Subtitle 271B.13.
KRS Subtitle 271B.13 provides that shareholders of City National have the
right to demand payment for the fair value of their shares of City National
Common Stock immediately before the Affiliation becomes effective, excluding any
appreciation or depreciation in value in anticipation of the Affiliation, unless
a court determines that such exclusion would be inequitable. To claim this
right, the shareholder must first:
(1) deliver to City National, before the vote is taken, written notice of the
shareholder's intent to demand payment in cash for the shareholder's
shares if the Affiliation is consummated, and
-6-
<PAGE>
(2) not vote in favor of the Affiliation in person or by proxy.
Statutory dissenter's rights are not available unless the requirements
described in (1) and (2) above are satisfied. It is recommended that any notice
to be delivered by mail be sent by registered or certified mail with return
receipt requested. Dissenting shareholders may send their written notice to
Kenneth E. Crews, President, City National Bancorp, Inc., 306 Lake Street,
Fulton, Kentucky 42041.
A SHAREHOLDER WHO DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE PRELIMINARY CONDITIONS DESCRIBED
ABOVE WILL BE CONSIDERED NOT TO BE ENTITLED TO DISSENTERS' RIGHTS UNDER KRS
SUBTITLE 271B.13. SHAREHOLDERS WHO EXECUTE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY BUT DO
NOT SPECIFY A CHOICE ON THE AFFILIATION PROPOSAL WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE VOTED IN
FAVOR OF THE AFFILIATION AND ACCORDINGLY TO HAVE WAIVED THEIR DISSENTERS'
RIGHTS, UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER REVOKES THE PROXY PRIOR TO ITS BEING VOTED.
If the Affiliation is approved by City National's shareholders, ONB will send
notice of dissenters' rights to those shareholders satisfying the above
conditions no later than ten (10) days after shareholder approval of the
Affiliation has occurred. The notice will state the procedures the dissenting
shareholder thereafter must follow to exercise dissenters' rights in accordance
with Kentucky law, and will (1) supply a form for demanding payment for the
dissenting shares, which form shall include the date of the first announcement
to news media or to shareholders of the terms of the Affiliation and require
that the holder of the dissenting shares certify whether or not beneficial
ownership of the dissenting shares was acquired before such date; (2) state
where the payment demand and certificates for shares of City National Common
Stock must be sent; and (3) set a date by which City National must receive the
payment demand and certificates representing the dissenting shares.
A shareholder of City National who is sent such a notice must then (1) demand
payment for the shareholder's shares of City National Common Stock, (2) certify
whether beneficial ownership of the shares of City National Common Stock was
acquired before the date set forth in such notice, and (3) deposit the
shareholder's certificates representing shares of City National Common Stock in
accordance with the terms of such notice. A City National shareholder who
demands payment and deposits his or her certificates in accordance with the
terms of the notice shall retain all other rights of a City National shareholder
until those rights are canceled or modified by consummation of the Affiliation.
City National shareholders who do not demand payment or deposit the
shareholder's certificates representing shares of City National Common Stock as
required and within the applicable time period are considered to have voted such
shares of City National Common Stock in favor of the Affiliation and are not
entitled to receive payment for such shares under KRS Subtitle 271B.13.
A shareholder of City National may assert dissenter's rights as to fewer than
all the shares of City National Common Stock registered in that shareholder's
name only if the shareholder dissents (in accordance with the provisions of KRS
Subtitle 271B.13) with respect to all of the shares of City National Common
Stock beneficially owned by any one person and notifies City National in writing
of the name and address of each person on whose behalf the shareholder is
asserting dissenters' rights.
A beneficial shareholder of City National Commons Stock may assert dissenters'
rights as to shares of City National Common Stock held on the shareholder's
behalf only if (1) the beneficial shareholder submits to City National the
record shareholder's written consent to the dissent no later than the time the
beneficial
-7-
<PAGE>
shareholder asserts dissenters' rights and (2) the beneficial shareholder
asserts dissenters' rights (in accordance with the provisions of KRS Subtitle
271B.13) with respect to all of the beneficial shareholders' shares of City
National Common Stock over which the beneficial shareholder has the power to
direct the vote.
Upon consummation of the Affiliation, ONB will pay each dissenting shareholder
who has fully complied with all statutory requirements and ONB's notice, and who
was the beneficial owner of City National Common Stock prior to April 24, 1995
(the date that the Affiliation was first publicly announced), ONB's estimate of
the fair value of each share of City National Common Stock as of the time
immediately prior to consummation of the Affiliation, excluding any appreciation
in value in anticipation of the Affiliation.
Dissenting shareholders who comply with the above procedures can object to the
fair value established by ONB by stating their estimate of the fair value of
their shares of City National Common Stock and demanding payment of the
additional amount claimed as fair value. ONB can elect to agree to the
dissenter's fair value demand or can commence an action in the Fulton County,
Kentucky Circuit or Superior Court ("Court") for a judicial determination of the
fair value. The Court may appoint appraisers to determine the fair value. The
Court may assess fees and expenses of counsel and experts against either ONB or
the dissenting shareholder if the Court finds that the party against whom the
fees and expenses are asserted acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good
faith. In addition, if the Court finds that the services of counsel for any
dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated and
that the fees for those services should not be assessed against ONB, the Court
may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded
the dissenters who benefitted from such services. Each dissenter made a party
to the action will be entitled to receive the amount, if any, by which the Court
finds the fair value of the dissenter's shares, plus interest, exceeds the
amount paid by ONB.
KRS Subtitle 271B.13 also provides that a shareholder who is entitled to
dissent to a particular corporate transaction, such as the Affiliation
contemplated by the Agreement, is not entitled to otherwise challenge that
transaction.
THE FOREGOING SUMMARY OF THE RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS ADDRESSES ALL
MATERIAL FEATURES OF THE APPLICABLE DISSENTERS' RIGHTS STATUTES UNDER THE LAWS
OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY BUT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE AND IS
QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE STATUTORY PROVISIONS ATTACHED HERETO AS
APPENDIX B.
A SHAREHOLDER'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXERCISING DISSENTERS' RIGHTS WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF SUCH RIGHTS, AND
SHAREHOLDERS WHO MAY WISH TO EXERCISE DISSENTERS' RIGHTS SHOULD CONSIDER SEEKING
LEGAL COUNSEL.
RESALE OF ONB COMMON STOCK BY AFFILIATES OF CITY NATIONAL
No restrictions on the sale or transfer of the shares of ONB Common Stock
issued pursuant to the Affiliation will be imposed solely as a result of the
Affiliation, other than restrictions on the transfer of such shares issued to
any shareholder of City National who may be deemed to be an "affiliate" of City
National
-8-
<PAGE>
for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act. Directors, executive
officers and 10% shareholders are generally deemed to be affiliates for
purposes of Rule 145.
The Agreement provides that City National will provide ONB with a list
identifying each affiliate of City National. The Agreement also requires that
each affiliate of City National deliver to ONB, prior to the effective time of
the Affiliation, a written agreement to the effect that such affiliate (1) has
not sold, pledged, transferred, disposed of or otherwise reduced the affiliate's
market risk with respect to the shares of City National Common Stock directly or
indirectly owned or held by such person during the thirty (30) day period prior
to the effective time of the Affiliation and (2) will not sell, pledge, transfer
or otherwise dispose of or reduce the affiliate's market risk with respect to
the shares of ONB Common Stock to be received by such person pursuant to the
Agreement (i) until such time as financial results covering at least thirty (30)
days of combined operations of City National and ONB have been published within
the meaning of Section 201.01 of the Commission's Codification of Financial
Reporting Policies and (ii) unless done pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule 145 or another exemption
from the registration requirements under the Securities Act. The certificates
representing ONB Common Stock issued to affiliates of City National in the
Affiliation may contain a legend indicating these resale restrictions.
This is only a general statement of certain restrictions regarding the sale or
transfer of the shares of ONB Common Stock to be issued in the Affiliation.
Therefore, those shareholders of City National who may be deemed to be
affiliates of City National should consult with their legal counsel regarding
the resale restrictions that may apply to them.
CONDITIONS TO CONSUMMATION
Consummation of the Affiliation is conditioned upon, among other items, (1)
approval of the Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a
majority of the outstanding shares of City National Common Stock, (2) receipt by
ONB and City National of all applicable regulatory approvals required for the
Affiliation, (3) receipt of an opinion of counsel with respect to certain
federal income tax matters, (4) receipt by ONB of certain undertakings from
affiliates of City National, (5) receipt by ONB and City National of certain
officers' certificates and other legal opinions, (6) the accuracy at the
effective time of the Affiliation of representations and warranties contained in
the Agreement, (7) the fulfillment of certain covenants set forth in the
Agreement, and (8) receipt by City National from Southard of an updated Opinion.
The conditions to consummation of the Affiliation, which are more fully
enumerated in the Agreement, are requirements subject to unilateral waiver by
the party entitled to the benefit of such conditions, as set forth in the
Agreement. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Resale of ONB Common Stock by City
National Affiliates", "-- Regulatory Approvals", "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES" and Appendix A.
TERMINATION
The Agreement may be terminated before consummation of the Affiliation by
either ONB or City National (as specified in the Agreement) if, among other
reasons, (1) there has been a misrepresentation or a breach of any warranty set
forth in the Agreement by ONB or City National which has had or could be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results
of operations, business, assets
-9-
<PAGE>
or capitalization of ONB or City National, (2) ONB or City National has breached
or failed to comply with any covenant set forth in the Agreement, (3)
consummation of the Affiliation has become inadvisable or impracticable due to
the commencement or threat of any claim, litigation or proceeding against ONB or
City National or any subsidiary of ONB relating to the Agreement or which is
likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of
operations, business, assets or capitalization of ONB or City National, (4)
there has been a material adverse change in the financial condition, results of
operations, business, assets or capitalization of ONB or City National as of the
effective time of the Affiliation as compared to that in existence as of March
31, 1995, (5) ONB cannot utilize the pooling-of-interests method of accounting
for the Affiliation, (6) noncompliance by City National with certain
environmental covenants contained in the Agreement, (7) consummation of the
Affiliation has not occurred by March 31, 1996, or (8) the 5 day average closing
price of ONB Common Stock during the 10 day period immediately preceding either
the Proxy Statement mailing date or the effective time is less than $32.00 or
greater then $37.00 per share and ONB and City National are unable to
renegotiate the Exchange Ratio pursuant to the request of either party. In the
event of renegotiation of the Exchange Ratio, City National would resolicit
proxies from the City National shareholders for use at the Special Meeting. Upon
termination for any of these reasons, the Agreement will be of no further force
or effect. See Appendix A.
RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING CITY NATIONAL
The Agreement contains a number of restrictions regarding the conduct of
business of City National pending consummation of the Affiliation. Among other
items, City National may not, without the prior written consent of ONB, (1)
change its capital stock accounts, (2) distribute or pay any dividends, except
that City National may pay a quarterly cash dividend to its shareholders until
consummation of the Affiliation in an amount per quarter not to exceed 25% of
City National's net income, (3) amend its Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws,
(4) carry on its business other than substantially in the manner as conducted as
of the date of the Agreement and in the ordinary course of business, or (5)
merge, combine or sell City National, except under certain limited
circumstances. See Appendix A.
REGULATORY APPROVALS
The Affiliation requires the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") under the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956, as amended ("BHC Act"), and the Kentucky Department of Financial
Institutions ("KDFI") under the Kentucky Business and Financial Institutions
Law, as amended. The Federal Reserve and the KDFI have granted their approval
of the Affiliation.
Approval of the Affiliation by the Federal Reserve and the KDFI is not to be
interpreted as the opinion of these regulatory authorities that the Affiliation
is favorable to the shareholders of City National from a financial point of view
or that those regulatory authorities have considered the adequacy of the terms
of the Affiliation. An approval by the Federal Reserve or the KDFI in no way
constitutes an endorsement or a recommendation of the Affiliation by such
regulatory authorities.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT FOR THE AFFILIATION
It is anticipated that the Affiliation will be accounted for as a "pooling-of-
interests" transaction. Under this method of accounting, shareholders of ONB and
City National will be deemed to have combined their
-10-
<PAGE>
existing voting common stock interests. See "SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINANCIAL
DATA" and "PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION".
In order for the Affiliation to qualify for pooling-of-interests accounting
treatment, among other items, 90% or more of the outstanding shares of City
National Common Stock must be exchanged for ONB Common Stock. In the event the
holders representing more than 10% of the outstanding shares of City National
Common Stock become entitled by the exercise of dissenters' rights or otherwise
to receive cash instead of ONB Common Stock, the Affiliation would not qualify
for pooling-of-interests method of accounting and ONB would have the right to
terminate the Agreement. See "PROPOSED AFFILIATION -- Rights of Dissenting
Shareholders" and "PROPOSED AFFILIATION --Termination".
EFFECTIVE TIME
The Affiliation will become effective at the close of business on the day
specified in the Articles of Merger of City National with and into ONB as filed
with both the Indiana Secretary of State and the Kentucky Secretary of State.
The effective time of the Affiliation will occur on the last business day of the
month following (1) the fulfillment of all conditions precedent to the
Affiliation set forth in the Agreement and (2) the expiration of all waiting
periods in connection with the bank regulatory applications filed for approval
of the Affiliation, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by ONB and City
National.
ONB and City National currently anticipate that Affiliation will be
consummated during the fourth quarter of 1995.
MANAGEMENT, PERSONNEL AND OPERATIONS AFTER THE AFFILIATION
ONB will be the surviving corporation in the Affiliation and, upon
consummation of the Affiliation, the separate corporate existence of City
National will cease. Consequently, the directors and officers of City National
will no longer serve in such capacities after the effective time of the
Affiliation.
Upon consummation of the Affiliation, the Bank will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ONB. The Board of Directors of the Bank serving at the effective
time of the Affiliation will continue as the Board of Directors of the Bank
after the effective time of the Affiliation. Following the effective time of
the Affiliation, ONB, as the sole shareholder of the Bank, will have the ability
to elect the Board of Directors of the Bank. The officers of the Bank serving
at the effective time of the Affiliation will continue in their respective
positions after the effective time, until the Board of Directors of the Bank
determines otherwise.
In general, employees of the Bank will receive benefits in accordance with the
policies and programs of ONB following the Affiliation. In particular, those
persons who are full-time officers or employees of the Bank as of the effective
date of the Affiliation, who continue as full-time officers or employees of the
Bank or any other subsidiary of ONB after such time, will receive
substantially the same employee benefits on substantially the same terms and
conditions that ONB may offer to similarly situated officers and employees of
its banking subsidiaries from time to time, including participation in the ONB
Employees' Retirement Plan ("ONB Pension Plan") and the ONB Employees' Savings
and Profit Sharing Plan ("ONB Profit Sharing Plan"). In addition, years of
service of an officer or employee of the Bank prior to the effective date of the
Affiliation will be credited to each such officer or employee for purposes of
eligibility under ONB's
-11-
<PAGE>
employee welfare benefit plans and for purposes of eligibility and vesting, but
not for benefit accrual or contributions, under the ONB Pension Plan and the ONB
Profit Sharing Plan. Until the employees and officers of the Bank become covered
by the welfare benefit plans sponsored by ONB, such employees and officers shall
remain covered by the welfare benefit plans sponsored by the Bank.
Those officers and employees of the Bank who otherwise meet the eligibility
requirements of the ONB Profit Sharing and Pension Plans, based upon their age
and years of service for the Bank, will become participants thereunder as of the
January 1st which coincides with or next follows the effective date of the
Affiliation. Those officers and employees who do not meet the eligibility
requirements of the ONB Pension Plan or ONB Profit Sharing Plan on such dates
will become participants thereunder on the first "plan entry date" (as defined
in the ONB Pension Plan or the ONB Profit Sharing Plan, as the case may be)
which coincides with or next follows the date on which such eligibility
requirements are satisfied.
In connection with effecting the changes from the benefit plans sponsored by
City National and the Bank to ONB plans, City National's Employee Stock
Ownership Plan will be terminated as of the last day of the month in which the
effective date of the Affiliation occurs. Benefits under the ESOP will be
distributed to participants in a lump sum or by direct rollover to the ONB
Profit Sharing Plan (without any separate or segregated account for the
transferred assets) or into individual retirement accounts. In addition, the
defined benefit and "401(k)" plans sponsored by the Bank will be merged with and
into the ONB Pension Plan and the ONB Profit Sharing Plan, respectively. The
mergers shall be effective as of the last day of the month in which the
effective date of the Affiliation occurs.
The Executive Supplemental Income Contracts between City National and certain
of its executive officers who constitute members of a select group of management
or are highly compensated employees will be maintained by ONB after the Merger.
INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE AFFILIATION
ONB has agreed to provide as of the effective time indemnification to the same
extent provided by City National to directors and officers of the Bank who were
directors and officers of City National or Bank at such time against any and all
losses in connection with or arising out of any claim which is based upon any
actual or alleged act or omission occurring at or prior to the effective time.
Indemnification of officers and directors follow the effective time will be
provided to the same extent it is provided to individuals working in similar
capacities for ONB or its subsidiaries. In addition, ONB has agreed for a period
of one year after the effective time to use all reasonable efforts to cause to
be maintained in effect the policies of directors' and officers' liability
insurance maintained by City National with respect to claims arising from facts
or events which occurred before the effective time of the Affiliation. Following
the effective time, ONB will provide City National or Bank employees who become
officers of ONB or any of its subsidiaries with the same directors' and
officers' liability insurance coverage that ONB provides to other similarly
situated directors and officers of ONB and its bank subsidiaries.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
-12-
<PAGE>
The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax aspects of the
Affiliation. This discussion does not purport to cover all federal income tax
consequences relating to the Affiliation and does not contain any information
with respect to state, local or other tax laws.
TAX OPINION
ONB and City National have requested the law firm of Krieg DeVault Alexander &
Capehart to render an opinion that the Affiliation constitutes a tax-free
reorganization and, with respect to certain federal income tax consequences of
the Affiliation, substantially to the effect that the Merger to be effected
pursuant to the Affiliation constitutes a tax-free reorganization under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code") to each party thereto and to
the shareholders of City National, except with respect to cash received by City
National's shareholders (i) for fractional share interests of ONB Common Stock
or (ii) pursuant to the exercise of dissenters' rights.
The opinion rendered by Krieg DeVault Alexander & Capehart will be based upon
the assumption of certain facts to be stated in the opinion. Under the
Agreement, the obligations of each of ONB and City National to consummate the
Affiliation is conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel
substantially to the effect as set forth above.
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ONB AND CITY NATIONAL
The merger of City National with and into ONB constitutes a statutory merger
under applicable law. Consequently, based upon the assumption of certain facts
to be stated in the opinion, the merger of City National with and into ONB
should constitute a tax-free reorganization. As a result, ONB and City
National will recognize neither gain nor loss as a result of the Affiliation for
federal income tax purposes.
TAX CONSEQUENCES TO CITY NATIONAL SHAREHOLDERS
A. City National Shareholders Receiving Solely ONB Common Stock
------------------------------------------------------------
A City National shareholder who receives solely ONB Common Stock in exchange
for all of the shares of City National Common Stock actually owned by the
shareholder will not recognize any gain or loss upon such exchange for federal
income tax purposes. See paragraph C. following for a discussion of the tax
consequences of the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional share interests of ONB
Common Stock.
B. Dissenting City National Shareholders Receiving Solely Cash
-----------------------------------------------------------
The transaction will result in income being recognized for federal income tax
purposes for City National shareholders who dissent to the Affiliation and
receive solely cash in exchange for their shares of City National Common Stock.
A shareholder who receives solely cash for the shareholder's shares of City
National Common Stock pursuant to the Affiliation through the exercise of
dissenters' rights and, as a result of the surrender of all of the shareholder's
shares of City National Common Stock, owns no City National Common Stock either
directly or through the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Code,
would recognize capital gain or loss (assuming that the City National Common
Stock is held by such shareholder as a capital asset) equal to the difference
between the amount of the cash received and the shareholder's tax basis of its
shares of City National Common Stock.
-13-
<PAGE>
C. Cash Received in Lieu of Fractional Shares
------------------------------------------
A City National shareholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share
interest of ONB Common Stock will be treated as having received such fraction of
a share of ONB Common Stock and then as having received cash in redemption of
the fractional share interest, subject to the provisions of Section 302 of the
Code.
THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED WITH
THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS
BASED UPON THE FEDERAL INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AS IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF THIS
PROXY STATEMENT WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF ANY STATE LAWS OR THE PARTICULAR FACTS
OR CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY SHAREHOLDER OF CITY NATIONAL. THE ABOVE DISCUSSION MAY
NOT BE APPLICABLE WITH RESPECT TO SHARES ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE EXERCISE OF
STOCK OPTIONS OR OTHERWISE RECEIVED AS COMPENSATION. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO
CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO ALL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
AFFILIATION TO THEM, INCLUDING THE EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAX LAWS
AND ANY OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES.
COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA
NATURE OF TRADING MARKET

On April 24, 1995, the business day immediately preceding the public
announcement of the Affiliation, the closing price of ONB Common Stock reported
by the NASDAQ National Market System was $34.25 per share. On September 26,

There is no established public trading market for shares of City National
Common Stock and shares of City National Common Stock are traded in limited
quantities in private transactions. Since there are no market makers for City
National Common Stock and no recognized exchanges on which shares of City
National Common Stock are traded, there is no published source of prices
relating to transactions in City National Common Stock. Most trades occur as a
result of private negotiations in isolated transactions, with the result that
management of City National Common Stock is not directly informed of the number
of trades or prices at which shares of City National Common Stock are traded.
Because of the limited market for shares of City National Common Stock, the
actual per share trade prices shown below may not necessarily be indicative of
the value of a share of City National Common Stock.
The table below sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low trade
prices for shares of City National Common Stock, the number of shares traded and
the number of trades of City National Common Stock, based upon information
received by management of City National. The last trade of City National Common
Stock, the terms of which management of City National is aware, occurred on or
about June 24, 1995 and involved the sale of ten (10) shares at a price of
approximately $390.00 per share. As of the Record Date, there were
approximately 102 holders of City National Common Stock.
Management of City National has not verified the accuracy of the following
share prices. Further, these prices may not be a reliable indicator of the
price at which more than a limited number of shares of City National Common
Stock would trade, and there may have been additional shares of City National
Common Stock traded at higher or lower prices of which the management of City
National is unaware.

(1) There can be no assurance as to the amount of future dividends that may be
declared or paid on shares of ONB Common Stock since dividend policies are

business conditions and dividends paid to ONB by its affiliate banks. For
certain restrictions on the payment of dividends on shares of ONB Common
Stock, see "COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK -- Dividend Rights".
(2) The Agreement provides City National may make a quarterly cash dividend to
its shareholders until consummation of the Affiliation in an amount per
dividend not to exceed 25% of City National's net income for such quarterly
period. City National may not pay a dividend to its shareholders during
-16-

the calendar quarter in which the Affiliation is consummated if City
National's shareholders will become entitled to receive a dividend on their
shares of ONB Common Stock received pursuant to the Agreement.

CITY NATIONAL MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993, AND 1992
The following discussion is intended to provide an insight into the
results of operations and financial condition of City National and the Bank on a
consolidated basis. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements of City National and accompanying notes
presented elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. See "INDEX TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS". For a presentation of financial information which gives effect to
the Merger, see "PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION".
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income was $1,055,000 in 1994, compared with $1,044,000 for 1993
and $1,008,000 in 1992. Net income in 1994 increased 1.0% from that in 1993 and
net income in 1993 increased 3.67% from that in 1992.
Return on average assets was 1.15% in 1994, compared to 1.20% in 1993
and 1.22% in 1992. Return on average shareholders' equity was 14.35% in 1994,
14.94% in 1993 and 16.92% in 1992.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income is the difference between interest income on
interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
Taxable equivalent net interest income for 1994 was $3,381,000 compared with
$3,320,000 in 1993 and $3,085,000 in 1992. The tax equivalent adjustment (which
is net of the effect of the non-deductible portion of interest expense)
reflected in the following table is based on a federal income tax rate of 34%.
The discussion of factors influencing net interest income that follows is based
on taxable equivalent data.

In 1994, tax equivalent net interest income increased $61,000 or 1.84%
over 1993. The increase in 1993 over 1992 was $235,000 or 7.62%. The
accompanying analysis of changes in net interest income in the following table
shows the relationships of the volume and rate portions of these increases for
1994 and 1993.
City National's tax equivalent net interest spread for the year ended
December 31, 1994 was 3.35% compared to 3.63% for the year 1993. This decrease
was caused by a 12 basis point decrease in the rate on interest-earning assets
and a 16 basis point increase in the rate on interest-bearing liabilities. City
National's net interest spread increased 15 basis points in 1993 from 3.48% in
1992. This increase was due to a 78 basis point decrease in the rate on
interest-earning assets which was offset by a 93 basis point decrease in the
rate on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest spread is the difference
between the average rate of interest earned on interest-earning assets and the
average rate of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities.
Average earnings assets increased $5.4 million or 6.62% for 1994
compared to 1993. Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $75.6 million for 1994,
an increase of $3.0 million or 4.11% over 1993. Average earning assets
increased $4.2 million or 5.48% for 1993 compared to 1992. Interest-bearing
liabilities averaged $72.7 million for 1993, an increase of 4.48% over 1992.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses for 1994 was $60,000 compared to
$100,000 for 1993, a decrease of $40,000. During 1994, net charge-offs were
$14,000 compared to net recoveries of $2,000 in 1993, an increase of $16,000.
The decrease in provision for loan losses in 1994 compared to 1993 is primarily
attributable to a continuing low loan loss experience and a low percentage of
nonperforming loans. Net charge-offs to average loans was .04% for year 1994,
compared to .-01% for 1993.
City National's allowance for loan losses totaled $491,000 at
December 31, 1994, representing an increase of $46,000 over the amount reported
December 31, 1993. The allowance for loan losses was 3.05 times the level of
nonperforming loans on December 31, 1994. Nonperforming and restructured loans
represented 0.42% of total outstanding loans on December 31, 1994 compared to
0.27% at December 31, 1993 and 1.04% at December 31, 1992.
The provision for loan losses for 1993 was $100,000 compared to
$60,000 for 1992. During 1993, net recoveries were $2,000 compared to net
recoveries of $16,000 in 1992, a decrease in recoveries of $14,000. The
increase in provision for loan losses in 1993 over 1992 is due primarily to an
increase in loans of $7.3 million or 25.8%.
In evaluating the allowance for loan losses, management considers the
composition of the loan portfolio, historical loan loss experience, the overall
quality of the loans, and an assessment of current economic conditions. At
December 31, 1994, City National's allowance for loan losses was 1.28% of loans
outstanding compared to 1.24% for 1993. Management believes the allowance for
loan losses at year end 1994 is adequate to cover inherent credit losses within
the portfolio.
NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE
Noninterest income was $283,000 in 1994, a decrease of $42,000 from
1993. The decrease resulted from security losses of $103,000 realized by City
National in 1994 due to a restructuring of its investment portfolio.
Noninterest expense increased $99,000 to $2,023,000 in 1994, or 5.15%.
The largest category of noninterest expense is salaries and employee benefits,
which represents approximately 50.4% of total noninterest expense in 1994.
Salaries and employee benefits were $1,020,000 in 1994, an increase of $32,000,
or 3.2%, compared to 1993. The increase was due to normal salary increases and
an increase in full time equivalent employees from 37 at December 31, 1993 to 40
at December 31, 1994. The increase in full time equivalent employees was due
primarily to the acquisition of the Security Trust Federal Savings and Loan
branch.
Occupancy expense remained stable in 1994 at $174,000, an increase of
only $1,000 over 1993.
Other noninterest expense, which is the second largest category of
noninterest expense, includes communication, supplies, taxes and insurance,
professional services, amortization and miscellaneous expenses.
Other noninterest expense increased $66,000 from $763,000 in 1993 to
$829,000 in 1994. The increases relate primarily to normal inflationary cost
increases, increases in FDIC insurance of $6,000,
-38-
<PAGE>
amortization of intangibles of $5,000, and other operating costs associated with
the Security Trust Federal Savings and Loan branch acquisition.
City National is committed to efforts to develop fees and other income
for services provided while holding operating expense to the minimum amount
necessary to provide quality service.
The following table is a summary of noninterest income and expense
for the three year period indicated.

INCOME TAXES
City National had an income tax expense of $255,000 in 1994, compared
to an income tax expense of $316,000 in 1993, a decrease of $61,000. The
decrease in 1994 is because of increased tax-exempt income and decreased net
income before taxes. Income tax expense in 1993 decreased $8,000 from $324,000
in 1992. This represents an effective income tax rate of 19.5% for 1994,
compared to 23.2% for 1993 and 24.3% for 1992. The difference between the
effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate of 34% is due to tax exempt
income on certain loans and investment securities.
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Assets at year-end 1994 totaled $103.6 million, compared to $87.9
million at December 31, 1993, and $83.9 million at the end of 1992. Average
total assets increased $5.4 million in 1994 to $92.3 million, and $4.5 million
in 1993 to $86.8 million. The increase in 1994 is related primarily to the
acquisition in October 1994 of approximately $13.1 million of deposits from a
branch of a federal savings and loan.

<PAGE>
LOANS
Total loans, net of unearned income, averaged $36.7 million in 1994,
compared with $31.9 million in 1993. At year-end 1994, loans net of unearned
income totaled $38.4 million, compared to $36.0 million at December 31, 1993,
and $28.6 million at December 31, 1992. Increases in 1994 and 1993 are
primarily the result of increased residential mortgage demand due to generally
low mortgage interest rates.
The following table represents a summary of City National's loan
portfolio by category for each of the last five years. Other than the
categories noted, there is no concentration of loans in any industry greater
than 5% in the portfolio. City National has no foreign loans or highly
leveraged transactions in its loan portfolio.

DEPOSITS
Total deposits averaged $77.8 million in 1994, compared to $74.4
million in 1993, a 4.6% increase. At December 31, 1994, deposits totaled $90.2
million compared to $73.7 million at December 31, 1993. The increase is
primarily attributable to the purchase of $13.1 million in deposits from the
savings and loan branch acquisition in October, 1994. Excluding this branch
acquisition, deposits increased $3.4 million or 4.6% from December 31, 1993 to
December 31, 1994.
Total deposits averaged $74.4 million in 1993, compared to $74.3
million for 1992. The lack of significant deposit growth in 1993 was due to the
increased use of Federal Home Loan Bank advances rather than deposits to fund
loan growth.
The table below provides information on the maturities of time
deposits of $100,000 or more at December 31, 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY
Liquidity risk is the possibility that City National may not be able
to meet its cash requirements. Management of liquidity risk includes
maintenance of adequate cash and sources of cash to fund operations and meet the
needs of borrowers, depositors and creditors. Liquidity must be maintained at a
level which is adequate but not excessive. Excess liquidity has a negative
impact on earnings resulting from the lower yields on short-term assets.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the securities portfolio
provides an important source of liquidity. The total of securities maturing
within one year and cash and cash equivalents was $25.4 million as of December
31, 1994. Additionally, securities available-for-sale with maturities greater
than one year totaled $29.5 million at December 31, 1994. These securities are
available to meet liquidity needs on a continuing basis.
City National maintains a relatively stable base of customer deposits
which has historically exhibited steady growth. This growth, when combined with
other sources, is expected to be adequate to meet its demand for funds. Due to
the nature of the markets served by City National, management believes that the
majority of certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more are no more volatile
than its core deposits. During a period of relatively low interest rates, these
balances have remained relatively stable for 1993 and 1994. Certificates of
deposits of $100,000 or more represented approximately 5% of total deposits for
both years.
-41-
<PAGE>
City National also relies on Federal Home Loan Bank advances for both
liquidity and asset/liability management purposes. These advances are used
primarily to fund long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans. FHLB
advances decreased from $6.0 million in 1993 to $5.8 million in 1994.
City National generally relies upon net cash inflows from financing
activities, supplemented by net cash inflows from operating activities, to
provide cash used in its investing activities. Significant financing activities
include deposit gathering and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. City
National's primary investing activities include purchases of investment
securities and loan originations. Management believes that City National has
sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor and creditor
needs in the present economic environment.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis at December 31, 1994, which
accompanies this discussion, illustrates in summary form the information which
is developed. Amounts are classified based on the earliest period in which they
can be normally be expected to be repriced.
As shown by the interest rate sensitivity analysis, the total amount
of maturities of City National's interest-bearing liabilities exceed the total
amount of maturities of its interest-earning assets during the first year. This
position, which is normally termed a negative interest sensitivity gap,
generally allows for enhanced net interest income during periods of decreasing
interest rates. However, because the negative interest-sensitivity gap, which
is within City National's internal policy guidelines, is not significant, City
National has the ability to manage its interest sensitivity during periods of
increasing interest rates. The following table provides an analysis of City
National's interest rate sensitivity.

This analysis shows that City National's loan to deposit ratios
increased in 1994 compared to 1993 and 1992 due to an increase in loan demand
that exceeded the increase in deposit activity. However, this increase does not
result in any substantial liquidity risk.
ASSET QUALITY
With respect to asset quality, management considers three categories of
assets to merit constant scrutiny. These categories include (1) loans that are
currently nonperforming, (2) other real estate, (3) loans that are currently
performing but which management believes require special attention.
City National discontinues the accrual of interest on loans that become 90
days past due as to principal or interest unless they are adequately secured and
in the process of collection. A loan remains in a nonaccrual status until
factors indicating doubtful collection no longer exist. A loan is classified as
a restructured loan when the interest rate is materially reduced or the term is
extended beyond the original maturity date because of the inability of the
borrower to service the interest payments at market rates. Other real estate is
recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. A
summary of the components of nonperforming assets, including several ratios
using period-end data, is shown below:

Nonperforming and restructured loans at December 31, 1994 were $161,000
compared to $98,000 at December 31, 1993 and $298,000 at December 31, 1992. At
December 31, 1994, loans currently performing but which management believes
require special attention were not significant. City National continues to
follow its long-standing policy of not engaging in international lending and not
concentrating lending activity in any one industry.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The following tables set forth an allocation for the allowance for loan
losses by category of loan and a percentage distribution of the allowance
allocation. In making the allocation, consideration was given to such factors as
management's evaluation of risk in each category, current economic conditions
and charge-off experience. An allocation for the allowance for loan losses is an
estimate of the portion of the allowance that will be used to cover future
charge-offs in each loan category, but it does not preclude any portion of the
allowance allocated to one type of loan being used to absorb losses of another
loan type.

CAPITAL
As displayed by the following table, City National's Tier 1 capital (as
defined by the Federal Reserve under its risk-based capital guidelines) at
December 31, 1994 increased $636,000 from the 1993 amount to $8.1 million. Total
capital was $8.6 million at December 31, 1994. City National's risk-based
capital and leverage ratios, also shown in the following table, exceed the 6%
Tier 1, 10% total capital and 5% leverage minimums that are required for each
ratio. The leverage ratio compares Tier 1 capital to total average assets less
disallowed amounts of goodwill.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
established five capital categories for insured depository institutions under
its Prompt Corrective Action Provisions. The bank regulatory agencies adopted
regulations, which became effective in 1992, defining these five capital
categories for banks they regulate. The categories vary from "well capitalized"
to "critically undercapitalized". A "well capitalized" bank is defined as one
with a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or above, a Tier I risk-based
capital of 6% or above, a leverage ratio of 5% or above and one not subject to
any order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt corrective action
directive to meet or maintain a specific capital level. On December 31, 1994,
City National's subsidiary had total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based
capital and leverage ratios that exceeded the minimum requirements established
for the "well-capitalized" category.
SECURITIES, FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD AND RESALE AGREEMENTS
Securities, including those classified as held to maturity and available
for sale, increased from $44.3 million at December 31, 1993 to $54.3 million at
year-end 1994. Securities increased from $44.0 million at December 31, 1992 to
$44.3 million in 1993. Federal funds sold totaled $4,850,000 at December 31,
1994 compared to $1,300,000 at December 31, 1993, and $5,500,000 at December 31,
1992. Federal funds sold averaged $3.1 million in 1994, $4.4 million in 1993 and
$5.6 million in 1992.
City National adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", on January
1, 1994. Adoption of the Statement resulted in an increase in stockholders'
equity of $346,000, which is net of deferred income taxes. The following tables

ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY MATTERS
In December 1990, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 ("SFAS No. 106"),
"Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions". This
Statement is effective for annual financial statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994. SFAS No. 106 establishes a standard of
financial accounting and reporting for an employer
-48-
<PAGE>
that offers post-retirement benefits other than pensions to its employees. City
National has no such post-retirement benefits and, accordingly, believes there
will be no effect on the financial condition or results of operations of City
National from the issuance of SFAS No. 106.
In November 1992, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 112 ("SFAS No. 112"), "Employers' Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits".
SFAS No. 112 requires recognition of the obligations to provide post-employment
benefits to former or inactive employees after employment, but before
retirement. The effective date for SFAS No. 112 is for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1993. City National has no such post-employment benefits and,
accordingly, believes there will be no effect on City National's financial
condition or results of operations from the issuance of SFAS No. 112.
In May 1993, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
114 ("SFAS No. 114"), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". The
Statement requires that impaired loans that are within the scope of SFAS No. 114
be measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price, with
a fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Adoption of
SFAS No. 114 is required in January 1995, with earlier adoption permitted.
Adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material effect on City National's
financial condition or results of operations.
Also, in May 1993, FASB issued SFAS No. 115 (discussed in "Securities,
Federal Funds Sold and Resale Agreements"). The adoption of SFAS No. 115 did not
have a material effect on City National's financial condition or results of
operations.
In May 1995, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights", which requires the allocation
of the total cost of mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the
loans based on their relative fair values if it is practicable to estimate those
fair values. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1995. City National plans to adopt this Statement, as required, on
January 1, 1996. The effect of adopting this new Statement is not expected to be
material to City National's financial condition or results of operations.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Legal proceedings involving City National and its subsidiary periodically
arise in the ordinary course of business, including claims by debtors and their
related interests against City National's subsidiary following initial
collection proceedings. These legal proceedings sometimes can involve claims
for substantial damages. Presently, neither City National nor its subsidiary is
subject to a legal proceeding that if decided in a manner adverse or unfavorable
to City National or its subsidiary would have a material adverse effect upon the
consolidated financial statements of City National.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
The majority of City National's assets and liabilities are monetary in
nature. Therefore, City National differs greatly from most commercial and
industrial companies that have significant investments in nonmonetary assets,
such as fixed assets and inventories. Inflation does have an important impact on
the growth of assets in the banking industry and the resulting need to increase
equity capital at higher than normal rates in order to maintain an appropriate
equity to assets ratio. Inflation also affects other expenses, which tend to
rise during periods of general inflation.
-49-
<PAGE>
Management believes the most significant impact on financial and operating
results is City National's ability to react to changes in interest rates.
Management seeks to maintain an essentially balanced position between interest
sensitive assets and liabilities in order to protect against the effects of wide
interest rate fluctuations.

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FOR THE SIX
MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net income was $501,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 1995,
compared to $568,000 for the comparable period in 1994.
Return on average assets (annualized) was 0.97% for the six month period
ended June 30, 1995, compared to 1.28% for the comparable period in 1994. Return
on average shareholders' equity (annualized) was 12.70% for the six month period
ended June 30, 1995, and 15.20% for the comparable period in 1994.
Taxable equivalent net interest income for the six month period ended June
30, 1995 was $1,763,000, compared to $1,663,000 for the comparable period in
1994.
The provision for loan losses was $30,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1994. During the six month period ended June 30, 1995, net charge-offs
were $16,000, compared to net recoveries of $1,000 for the comparable period in
1994.
Noninterest income for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 was
$221,000, compared to $226,000 for the comparable period in 1994. Service fees
increased $47,000 in 1995 due primarily to the acquisition of deposit accounts
of the Security Trust Federal Savings and Loan branch in October 1994. This
increase was offset by a $45,000 decrease in gains on the sale of securities.
Noninterest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 was
$1,188,000, compared to $986,000 for the comparable period in 1994. The
increase is partially due to increases in the number of full time equivalent
employees from 38 at June 30, 1994 to 42 at June 30, 1995, resulting in
increased salary and benefit costs. The increase in the number of employees is
primarily due to the Security Trust Federal Savings and Loan branch acquisition.
Other increases include increased legal expense of $47,000, FDIC insurance of
$10,000, occupancy of $12,000, and amortization of intangibles of $11,000.
These increases are primarily related to the costs associated with the Security
Trust Federal Savings and Loan branch acquisition. Management expects
noninterest expense to be lower in the second half of 1995 due to an anticipated
decrease in FDIC insurance assessments and realization of economies of scale
from the Security Trust Federal Savings and Loan branch acquisition.
Income tax expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 was
$129,000, compared to $170,000 for the comparable period in 1994.
Total loans, net of unearned income, averaged $39.6 million for the six
month period ended June 30, 1995, compared with $36.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994. At the end of the six month period ending June 30, loans net
of unearned income totaled $39.6 million for 1995, compared to $38.4 million at
December 31, 1994. The increase in 1995 is primarily the result of normal loan
growth and $308,000 in loans acquired in the Security Trust Federal Savings and
Loan branch acquisition.
At June 30, 1995, City National's interest-earning liabilities exceeded its
interest-bearing assets during the first year, which created a negative interest
sensitivity gap. The cumulative adjusted interest sensitivity gap as a percent
of total assets at June 30, 1995 was (2.57%) for assets and liabilities maturing
within 90 days, compared to (3.75%) for December 31, 1994 and (6.15%) for assets
and liabilities maturing between 91 and 365 days, compared to (8.18%) for
December 31, 1994.
-51-
<PAGE>
At June 30, 1995, City National's ratio of total loans to total deposits
was 44.24%, compared to 42.61% at December 31, 1994.
Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 1995 were $160,000, compared to
$161,000 at December 31, 1994.
At June 30, 1995, City National had total Tier I risk-based capital, total
capital and leverage ratios that exceeded the minimum requirements established
for the "well-capitalized" category under federal banking law. At June 30,
1995, City National's ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets was 15.94%
(compared to 14.74% at December 31, 1994), its total capital to risk-weighted
assets was 16.87% (compared to 15.63% at December 31, 1994), and its leverage
ratio was 8.35% (compared to 8.19% at December 31, 1994).

REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
REGULATION OF ONB, CITY NATIONAL AND AFFILIATES
ONB and City National Regulation. ONB and City National are registered as
bank holding companies and are subject to the regulations of the Federal Reserve
under the BHC Act. Bank holding companies are required to file periodic reports
with and are subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve. The
Federal Reserve has issued regulations under the BHC Act requiring a bank
holding company to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its
subsidiary banks. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve that, pursuant to
this requirement, a bank holding company should stand ready to use its resources
to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of
financial stress or adversity. Additionally, under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"), a bank holding company is
required to guarantee the compliance of any insured depository institution
subsidiary that may become "undercapitalized" (as defined in the statute) with
the terms of any capital restoration plan filed by such subsidiary with its
appropriate federal banking agency up to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to 5%
of the institution's total assets at the time the institution became
undercapitalized, or (ii) the amount that is necessary (or would have been
necessary) to bring the institution into compliance with all applicable capital
standards as of the time the institution fails to comply with such capital
restoration plan. Under the BHC Act, the Federal Reserve has the authority to
require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or relinquish control
of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the
Federal Reserve's determination that such activity or control constitutes a
serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of
the bank holding company.
ONB and its affiliate banks and City National are subject to the Federal
Reserve Act, which restricts financial transactions between banks and affiliated
companies. The statute limits credit transactions between a depository
institution and its executive officers and its affiliates, prescribes terms and
conditions for affiliate transactions deemed to be consistent with safe and
sound banking practice, and restricts the types of collateral security permitted
in connection with an institution's extension of credit to an affiliate.
Affiliate and Bank Regulation. The affiliate banks of ONB which are
national banks, and the Bank, are supervised, regulated and examined by the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). The affiliate banks of ONB
which are state banks chartered in Indiana are supervised, regulated and
examined by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. ONB's affiliate
banks chartered in Kentucky are supervised, regulated and examined by the KDFI
and those affiliate banks chartered in Illinois are supervised, regulated and
examined by the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies. In addition,
those ONB affiliate banks which are state banks and members of the Federal
Reserve are supervised and regulated by the Federal Reserve and those which are
not members of the Federal Reserve are supervised and regulated by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Each regulator has the authority to
issue cease-and-desist orders if it determines that activities of the bank
regularly represent an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of
law.
Both federal and state law extensively regulate various aspects of the
banking business such as reserve requirements, truth-in-lending and truth-in-
savings disclosure, community reinvestment, equal credit opportunity, fair
credit reporting, trading in securities and other aspects of banking operations.
Current federal law also requires banks, among other things, to make deposited
funds available within specified time periods.
-53-
<PAGE>
Each affiliate of ONB has the power to engage in the business of banking as
provided by the law of its incorporation. These laws differ from state to state
and from federal law to state law. However, insured state-chartered banks are
prohibited under FDICIA from engaging as principal in activities that are not
permitted for national banks under federal law, unless (i) the FDIC determines
that the activity would pose no significant risk to the appropriate deposit
insurance fund, and (ii) the bank is, and continues to be, in compliance with
all applicable capital standards.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY GUIDELINES
Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve's
risk-based capital guidelines which require a minimum ratio of total capital to
risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance sheet activities such as
standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of the total required capital
must be "Tier 1 capital," consisting principally of common shareholders' equity,
noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, a limited amount of cumulative
perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, less certain goodwill items. The remainder ("Tier 2
capital") may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt and intermediate-
term preferred stock, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt
securities, cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of the
general loan loss allowance. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines,
the Federal Reserve has adopted a Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio under which
the bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital to
average total consolidated assets of 3% in the case of bank holding companies
which have the highest regulatory examination ratings and are not contemplating
significant growth or expansion. All other bank holding companies are expected
to maintain a ratio of at least 1% to 2% above the stated minimum.
The following are ONB's and City National's regulatory capital ratios as of
June 30, 1995:

Total Capital: 15.79% 16.87%
Leverage Ratio: 8.60% 8.35%
</TABLE>
Depository institution affiliates of ONB and City National are required to
meet similar capital adequacy ratios. The FDIC, OCC and Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") have adopted risk-based capital ratio guidelines to which
depository institutions under their respective supervision are subject. The
guidelines establish a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory
capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among
banking organizations. Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating
assets and specified off-balance sheet commitments to four risk weighted
categories, with higher levels of capital being required for the categories
perceived as representing greater risk.
Like the capital guidelines established by the Federal Reserve, these
guidelines divide an institution's capital into two tiers. Depository
institutions are required to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%.
The banking agencies may, however, set higher capital requirements when an
institution's particular circumstances warrant. Depository institutions
experiencing or anticipating significant growth are expected to maintain capital
ratios, including tangible capital positions, well above the minimum levels.
-54-
<PAGE>
In addition, the agencies established guidelines prescribing a minimum Tier
1 leverage ratio of 3% for depository institutions that meet certain specified
criteria, including that they have the highest regulatory rating and are not
experiencing or anticipating significant growth. All other institutions are
required to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional 100 to 200
basis points.
All of ONB's affiliate banks, as well as the Bank, exceed the risk-based
capital guidelines as of June 30, 1995.
Effective September 1, 1995, the OCC, the Federal Reserve and the FDIC
amended their capital standards to specify that the banking agencies will
include in their evaluations of a bank's capital adequacy an assessment of its
exposure to declines in the economic value of the bank's capital due to changes
in interest rates. Concurrently, these banking agencies issued for comment a
joint policy statement describing the process the banking agencies will use to
measure and assess the exposure of a bank's net economic value to changes in
interest rates. The information and exposure estimates collected through this
new proposed supervisory measurement process will be one quantitative factor
used by examiners to determine the adequacy of an individual bank's capital for
interest rate risk. Other quantitative factors that examiners will consider
include the bank's historical financial performance and its earnings exposure to
interest rate movements. Examiners will also consider qualitative factors,
including the adequacy of the bank's internal interest rate risk management.
After the banking agencies and banking industry gain sufficient experience
with the proposed measurement process, the banking agencies intend, through a
subsequent rulemaking process, to issue a proposed rule that would establish an
explicit capital charge for interest rate risk that will be based upon the level
of a bank's measured interest rate risk exposure.
The proposed interagency supervisory policy statement requires certain
banks to submit new interest rate risk consolidated reports of condition and
income, or call report, schedules beginning in March 1996, indicating the
maturity, repricing or price sensitivity of their various on- and off-balance
sheet instruments. A bank would also have the option of reporting its internal
market estimates of the price sensitivity of its major portfolios and its net
economic value. Banks with assets under $300 million, composite CAMEL
supervisory ratings of 1 or 2, and moderate or low holdings of assets with
intermediate -and long-term maturity or repricing characteristics would be
exempt from expanded reporting requirements.
The supervisory model would apply a series of interest rate risk weights to
a bank's reported repricing and maturity balances. The risk weights estimate
price sensitivity of a bank's reported balances to a 200 basis-point change in
interest rates. The summation of these weighted balances, along with certain
price sensitivity information that a bank may be required to report, results in
a net risk-weighted exposure for the institution. That exposure represents the
estimated change in the bank's economic value to the specified change. Full
implementation of the proposed supervisory policy statement for assessing the
adequacy of bank capital for interest rate risk would occur on December 31,
1996.
It is too early to assess the impact, if any, these new rules and proposals
will have on ONB or its subsidiaries.
BRANCHING AND ACQUISITIONS
-55-
<PAGE>
Branching. Branching by ONB affiliate banks in Indiana, Kentucky and
Illinois is subject to the jurisdiction, and requires the prior approval, of the
bank's primary federal regulatory authority and, if the branching bank is a
state bank, of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions, KDFI or
Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies (depending upon the location
of the principal office of the bank). Under current law, branches may be
established by banks in Illinois and Indiana throughout the state; however, in
Kentucky, branches may only be established in the home county of the bank. As
discussed below, Congress recently authorized interstate branching, with certain
limitations, beginning in 1997.
Acquisitions. Bank holding companies, such as ONB and City National, are
prohibited by the BHC Act from acquiring direct or indirect control of more than
5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock or substantially all
of the assets of any bank or savings association or merging or consolidating
with another bank holding company without prior approval of the Federal Reserve.
The BHC Act also currently prohibits ONB from acquiring control of any bank
operating outside the State of Indiana unless such action is specifically
authorized by the statutes of the state where the bank to be acquired is
located. That prohibition will no longer be applicable as of September 29,
1995, as discussed below. Additionally, ONB and City National are prohibited by
the BHC Act from engaging in or from acquiring ownership or control of more than
5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting stock of any company engaged
in a nonbanking business unless such business is determined by the Federal
Reserve to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto.
The BHC Act does not place territorial restrictions on the activities of such
nonbanking-related activities.
The BHC Act specifically authorizes a bank holding company, upon receipt of
appropriate approvals from the Federal Reserve and the Director of the OTS, to
acquire control of any savings association or holding company thereof wherever
located. Similarly, a savings and loan holding company may acquire control of a
bank. A savings association acquired by a bank holding company cannot continue
any non-banking activities not authorized for bank holding companies. Savings
associations acquired by a bank holding company may, if located in a state where
the bank holding company is legally authorized to acquire a bank, be converted
to the status of a bank, but deposit insurance assessments and payments continue
to be paid by the association to the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF"). A savings association so converted to a bank becomes subject to the
branching restrictions applicable to banks. Also, any insured depository
institution may merge with, acquire the assets of, or assume the liabilities of
any other insured depository institution with the appropriate regulatory
approvals if (i) continued payments of deposit insurance premiums are made on
the acquired depository institution's deposits (including an assumed rate of
growth in such deposits) to SAIF (if the acquired institution was a SAIF member)
or to the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") (if the acquired institution was a BIF
member), (ii) the acquiring institution and any holding company in control
thereof meet all applicable capital requirements at the time of the transaction,
and (iii) if the acquiring institution is a BIF member, the transaction meets
any limitations on geographic expansion.
INTERSTATE BANKING
In 1994, Congress enacted sweeping changes to the interstate branching and
expansion powers of depository institutions and their holding companies in The
Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994, which
allows for interstate banking and interstate branching without regard to whether
such activity is permissible under state law. Beginning on September 29, 1995,
bank holding companies may acquire banks anywhere in the United States subject
to certain state restrictions. Beginning on June 1, 1997, an insured bank may
merge with an insured bank in another state without regard to whether such
merger is
-56-
<PAGE>
prohibited by state law. Additionally, an out-of-state bank may acquire the
branches of an insured bank in another state without acquiring the entire bank;
provided, however, that the law of the state where the branch is located permits
such an acquisition. States may permit interstate branching earlier than June 1,
1997, where both states involved with the bank merger expressly permit it by
statute. Further, bank holding companies may merge existing bank subsidiaries
located in different states into one bank.
Beginning on September 29, 1995, an insured bank subsidiary may act as an
agent for an affiliated bank or savings association in offering limited banking
services (receive deposits, renew time deposits, close loans, service loans and
receive payments on loans obligations) both within the same state and across
state lines.
FDICIA
FDICIA accomplished a number of sweeping changes in the regulation of
depository institutions. FDICIA requires, among other things, federal bank
regulatory authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to banks
which do not meet minimum capital requirements. For these purposes, FDICIA
establishes five capital tiers: well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically
undercapitalized.
The FDIC has adopted regulations to implement the prompt corrective action
provisions of FDICIA. Among other things, the regulations define the relevant
capital measures for the five capital categories. An institution is deemed to
be "well capitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or
greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or greater, and a leverage
ratio of 5% or greater, and is not subject to a regulatory order, agreement or
directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
An institution is deemed to be "adequately capitalized" if it has a total risk-
based capital ratio of 8% or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4% or
greater, and generally a leverage ratio 4% or greater. An institution is deemed
to be "undercapitalized" if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of less than
8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4%, or generally a leverage
ratio of less than 4%, and "significantly undercapitalized" if it has a total
risk-based capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
less than 3%, or a leverage ratio of less than 3%. An institution is deemed to
be "critically undercapitalized" if it has a ratio of tangible equity (as
defined in the regulations) to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.
"Undercapitalized" banks are subject to growth limitations and are required
to submit a capital restoration plan. A bank's compliance with such plan is
required to be guaranteed by any company that controls the undercapitalized
institution as described above. If an "undercapitalized" bank fails to submit an
acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.
"Significantly undercapitalized" banks are subject to one or more of a number of
requirements and restrictions, including an order by the FDIC to sell sufficient
voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total
assets and case receipt of deposits from correspondent banks, and restrictions
on compensation of executive officers. "Critically undercapitalized"
institutions may not, beginning 60 days after becoming "critically
undercapitalized," make any payment of principal or interest on certain
subordinated debt or extend credit for a highly leveraged transaction or enter
into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business. In addition,
"critically undercapitalized" institutions are subject to appointment of a
receiver or conservator.
FDICIA further directs that each federal banking agency prescribe standards
for depository institutions and depository institution holding companies
relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan
documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth,
management compensation, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital,
minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses,
-57-
<PAGE>
a minimum ratio of market value to book value of publicly traded shares and such
other standards as the agency deemed appropriate.
DEPOSIT INSURANCE
The deposits of ONB's affiliate banks and the Bank are insured up to
$100,000 per insured account, by the BIF, except for deposits acquired in
connection with affiliations with savings associations, which deposits are
insured by the SAIF. Accordingly, ONB pays deposit insurance premiums to both
BIF and SAIF and will continue to pay SAIF premiums with respect to all thrift
deposits of the Bank acquired in the Affiliation. If the FDIC believes that an
increase in the insurance rates is necessary, it may increase the insurance
premiums applicable to BIF or SAIF. Currently SAIF premiums are significantly
higher than BIF premiums; however, Congress is considering a number of
alternatives to address this issue and maintain relative equality among premium
payments, including a large one-time assessment on savings associations,
requiring banks to help finance the bonds issued to recapitalize the thrift
industry, and merging SAIF and BIF. Some Congressional proposals also require
savings associations to convert to bank charters. It is difficult at this time
to assess whether Congress will address the SAIF/BIF premium differential and,
if so, what impact its legislative solution to that problem will have on ONB and
its subsidiaries.
Effective January 1, 1993, the FDIC adopted a final rule that implements a
transitional risk-based assessment system whereby a base insurance premium will
be adjusted according to the capital category and subcategory of an institution
to one of three capital categories consisting of (1) well capitalized, (2)
adequately capitalized, or (3) undercapitalized, and one of three subcategories
consisting of (a) health, (b) supervisory concern, or (c) substantial
supervisory concern. An institution's assessment rate will depend upon the
capital category and supervisory category to which it is assigned. Assessment
rates for banks range from .04% for an institution in the highest category
(i.e., well capitalized) to 0.31% for an institution in the lowest category
(i.e. undercapitalized and substantial supervisory concern), and for savings
associations range from 0.23% for well capitalized institutions to 0.31% for
institutions in the lowest category. The supervisory subgroup to which an
institution is assigned by the FDIC is confidential and may not be disclosed.
Deposit insurance assessments may increase depending upon the category and
subcategory, if any, to which the bank is assigned by the FDIC. Any increase in
insurance assessments could have an adverse effect on the earnings of ONB's
affiliate banks.
RECENT LEGISLATION
Congress is currently considering two pieces of proposed legislation which
would impact financial institutions. The first such bill, the Financial
Services Competitiveness Act, seeks to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act which has
severely limited the ability of financial institutions to underwrite securities
since immediately after the Depression. Should this bill be enacted in its form
as of the date of this Proxy Statement, it would expand the securities powers of
bank holding companies, like ONB, permitting them to form a subsidiary to
underwrite and deal in securities and debt instruments. ONB currently may act
as a broker/dealer for securities (as it does through its affiliate ONB
Investment Services), but it may not generally underwrite corporate securities
or debt. The effect of the bill would also be to permit bank holding companies
to acquire, and be acquired by, securities firms.
The second bill, the Financial Institutions Relief Act, would scale back
certain laws which are deemed by Congress to impose regulatory burdens on banks
and would eliminate redundancies in the law. Included in
-58-
<PAGE>
the affected laws are the Truth-in-Savings Act, the Community Reinvestment Act
and certain laws with respect to disclosures in mortgage lending and the like.
The progress of both of these bills is currently suspended while Congress
determines what, if any, provisions regarding insurance powers should be
included. The extent of the ability of banks to sell insurance is highly
controversial, involving two powerful trade groups with a history of
intractability. The insurance issue could halt permanently the attempts to
obtain either Glass-Steagall relief or regulatory relief.
It cannot be predicted with certainty whether such legislation will be
enacted or the extent to which the banking industry in general, or ONB and its
affiliate banks in particular, would be affected.
ADDITIONAL MATTERS
In addition to the matters discussed above, ONB's affiliate banks and the
Bank are subject to additional regulation of their activities, including a
variety of consumer protection regulations affecting their lending, deposit and
collection activities and regulations affecting secondary mortgage market
activities.
The extensive regulation, supervision and examination of financial
institutions by the bank regulatory agencies is intended primarily for the
protection of the insurance fund and depositors. Moreover, such regulation
imposes substantial restrictions on the operations and activities of such
institutions, and grants to regulators broad discretion in connection with their
supervisory and enforcement activities and examination policies, including
policies with respect to classification of assets and establishment of adequate
loan loss reserves. Any changes in such regulations, whether by legislation or
regulatory action, could have a material impact on ONB affiliates and their
operations. ONB cannot predict what, if any, future actions may be taken by
legislative or regulatory authorities or what impact any such actions may have
on the operations of its affiliates.
The earnings of financial institutions are also affected by general
economic conditions and prevailing interest rates, both domestic and foreign and
by the monetary and fiscal policies of the United States Government and its
various agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve.
Additional legislation and administrative actions affecting the banking
industry may be considered by Congress, state legislatures and various
regulatory agencies, including those referred to above. It cannot be predicted
with certainty whether such legislation of administrative action will be enacted
or the extent to which the banking industry in general or ONB and its affiliate
banks in particular would be affected thereby.
COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK
The rights of holders of City National Common Stock who receive ONB Common
Stock in the Affiliation will be governed by the laws of the State of Indiana,
the state in which ONB is incorporated, and by ONB's Amended and Restated
Articles of Incorporation ("ONB's Articles of Incorporation") and ONB's By-Laws,
as amended ("ONB's By-Laws"). The rights of the shareholders of City National
are presently governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the state in
which City National is incorporated, and by City National's Articles of
Incorporation ("City National Articles") and By-Laws. The rights of the
shareholders of City National differ in certain respects from the rights they
would have as ONB shareholders, including for ONB anti-takeover measures and the
vote required for the amendment of significant provisions of the articles of
incorporation and for the approval of significant corporate transactions. The
following summary comparison
-59-
<PAGE>
of ONB Common Stock and City National Common Stock includes all material
features of such shares but does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to ONB's and City National's Articles and By-Laws.
AUTHORIZED BUT UNISSUED SHARES
ONB's Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 30,000,000 shares
of ONB Common Stock, of which 22,890,064 whole shares were outstanding as of
June 30, 1995. The remaining authorized but unissued shares of common stock may
be issued upon authorization of the Board of Directors of ONB without prior
shareholder approval. ONB has 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized.
These shares are available to be issued, without prior shareholder approval, in
classes with relative rights, privileges and preferences determined for each
class by the Board of Directors of ONB. No shares of preferred stock are
presently outstanding.
The Board of Directors of ONB has authorized a series of preferred stock
designated as Series A preferred stock. The Board of Directors of ONB has
designated 200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock in connection with the
shareholder rights plan of ONB. The ONB Series A preferred stock may not be
issued except upon exercise of certain rights ("Rights") pursuant to such
shareholder rights plan. No shares of Series A preferred stock have been issued
as of the date of this Proxy Statement. See "COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK --
Anti-Takeover Provisions -- ONB's Shareholder Rights Plan" below.
The shares of ONB Series A preferred stock are nonredeemable and, unless
otherwise provided in connection with the creation of a subsequent series of
preferred stock, are subordinate to all other series of preferred stock of ONB.
Each share of ONB Series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive, when, as
and if declared, a quarterly dividend in an amount equal to the greater of $1.00
per share or 100 times the quarterly cash dividend declared on ONB Common Stock.
In addition, the ONB Series A preferred stock is entitled to 100 times any non-
cash dividends (other than dividends payable in equity securities) declared on
the ONB Common Stock, in like kind. In the event of liquidation, the holders of
ONB Series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation payment
in an amount equal to the greater of $100.00 per share or 100 times the
liquidation payment made per share of ONB Common Stock. Each share of ONB
Series A preferred stock will have 100 votes, subject to adjustment, voting
together with the ONB Common Stock and not as a separate class unless otherwise
required by law or ONB's Articles of Incorporation. In the event of any merger,
consolidation or other transaction in which common shares are exchanged, each
share of ONB Series A preferred stock will be entitled to receive 100 times the
amount received per share of ONB Common Stock. The rights of the ONB Series A
preferred stock as to dividends, voting rights and liquidation are protected by
antidilution provisions. See "COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK -- Anti-Takeover
Provisions".
As of June 30, 1995, ONB had approximately 1,446,993 shares of ONB Common
Stock reserved for issuance under ONB's dividend reinvestment and stock purchase
plan and 1.5 million shares of its common stock reserved for issuance upon
conversion of its outstanding 8% convertible subordinated debentures. Such
debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity, unless previously
redeemed, into shares of ONB Common Stock at a conversion rate of 42.517 shares
per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (equivalent to a conversion price of
approximately $23.52 per share), subject to adjustment in certain events.
The issuance of additional shares of ONB Common Stock to persons who were
not holders of ONB Common Stock prior to such issuance or the issuance of ONB
preferred stock may adversely affect the interests of ONB shareholders.
-60-
<PAGE>
City National's Articles authorizes the issuance of 250,000 shares of City
National Common Stock, $10.00 par value per share, 47,965 of which were
outstanding as of June 30, 1995. Following the Affiliation, all of the
outstanding shares of City National Common Stock will be cancelled.
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
As permitted by Indiana law, ONB's Articles of Incorporation do not provide
for preemptive rights to subscribe for any new or additional ONB Common Stock or
other securities. Preemptive rights may be granted to ONB's shareholders if
ONB's Articles of Incorporation are amended accordingly. Under City National's
Articles, shareholders of City National have preemptive rights to subscribe for
any new or additional shares of City National Common Stock or other securities
or indebtedness.
DIVIDEND RIGHTS
The holders of common stock of ONB and City National are entitled to
dividends and other distributions when, as and if declared by their respective
Boards of Directors out of funds legally available therefor. With respect to
ONB, a dividend may not be paid if, after giving it effect, (1) ONB would not be
able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or (2)
ONB's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus,
unless ONB's Articles of Incorporation permitted otherwise, the amount that
would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of
shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the
dividend if ONB were to be dissolved at the time of the dividend. With respect
to City National, it may pay cash dividends on its shares of common stock only
out of adjusted retained net profits for the current year and the two (2)
preceding years.
The amount of dividends, if any, that may be declared by ONB in the future
will necessarily depend upon many factors, including, without limitation, future
earnings, capital requirements, business conditions and capital levels of
subsidiaries (since ONB is primarily dependent upon dividends paid by its
subsidiaries for its revenues), the discretion of ONB's Board of Directors and
other factors that may be appropriate in determining dividend policies.
Cash dividends paid to ONB by its Illinois-chartered affiliate banks are
limited by Illinois law to the bank's net profits then on hand, less losses and
statutorily-defined bad debts. Cash dividends paid to ONB by its Indiana-
chartered affiliate banks are limited by Indiana law to the balance of the
bank's undivided profits account adjusted for statutorily-defined bad debts.
Cash dividends paid to ONB by its Kentucky-chartered affiliate banks are limited
by Kentucky law to so much of the net profits of the banks, after deducting all
expenses, losses, bad or suspended debts and interest and taxes accrued or due
from the banks, as the boards of directors of the banks deem expedient. In
addition, the approval of the Kentucky Commissioner of Banks is required if the
total of all dividends declared by a Kentucky bank in any calendar year exceeds
the bank's net profit for that year and the net retained profits from the
preceding two years, less any transfers to surplus or a fund for retirement of
preferred stock or debt. ONB's national affiliate banks may pay cash dividends
on their common stock only out of adjusted retained net profits for the year in
which the dividend is paid and the two preceding years.
Dividends paid by ONB's affiliate banks will ordinarily be restricted to a
lesser amount than is legally permissible because of the need for the banks to
maintain adequate capital consistent with the capital adequacy guidelines
promulgated by the banks' principal federal regulatory authorities. See
"REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS". If a bank's capital levels are deemed inadequate
by the regulatory authorities, payment
-61-
<PAGE>
of dividends to its parent holding company may be prohibited without prior
regulatory approval. None of ONB's affiliate banks are currently subject to such
a restriction.
VOTING RIGHTS
The holders of the outstanding shares of ONB Common Stock and City National
Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters presented for
shareholder vote, except that shareholders of City National have cumulative
voting rights in the election of directors. Shareholders of ONB do not have
cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
Both Indiana and Kentucky law generally require that mergers,
consolidations, sales, leases, exchanges or other dispositions of all or
substantially all of the assets of a corporation be approved by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the
shareholders meeting, subject in each case to provisions in the corporation's
articles of incorporation requiring a higher percentage vote for certain
transactions. ONB's Articles of Incorporation provide that certain business
combinations may, under certain circumstances, require approval of more than a
simple majority of the issued and outstanding shares of ONB Common Stock. City
National's Articles do not contain any such provisions. See "COMPARISON OF
COMMON STOCK -- Anti-Takeover Provisions".
Both Indiana and Kentucky law require shareholder approval for most
amendments to a corporation's articles of incorporation -- under Indiana law, by
a majority of a quorum present at a shareholders' meeting (and, in certain
cases, a majority of all shares held by any voting group entitled to vote) and
under Kentucky law, by a majority of all shares entitled to vote. Both Indiana
and Kentucky law permit a corporation in its articles of incorporation to
prescribe a higher shareholder vote for certain amendments to the articles of
incorporation. ONB's Articles of Incorporation require a super-majority
shareholder vote of eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of ONB Common
Stock for the amendment of certain significant provisions.
DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
The holders of Indiana business corporations possess dissenters' rights in
connection with certain mergers and other significant corporate actions. Under
Indiana law, a shareholder is entitled to dissent from and obtain payment of the
fair value of the shareholder's shares in the event of (1) consummation of a
plan of merger, if shareholder approval is required and the shareholder is
entitled to vote thereon, (2) consummation of a plan of share exchange by which
the shareholder's shares will be acquired, if the shareholder is entitled to
vote thereon, (3) consummation of a sale or exchange of all, or substantially
all, the property of the corporation other than in the usual course of business,
if the shareholder is entitled to vote thereon, (4) approval of a control share
acquisition under Indiana law, and (5) any corporate action taken pursuant to a
shareholder vote to the extent the articles of incorporation, by-laws or a
resolution of the Board of Directors provides that voting or non-voting
shareholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.
The dissenters' rights provisions described above do not apply, however, to
the holders of shares of any class or series with respect to a merger, share
exchange or sale or exchange of property if the shares of that class or series
were registered on a United States securities exchange registered under the
Exchange Act or traded on the NASDAQ National Market System or a similar market.
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, shares of ONB Common Stock are traded on
the NASDAQ National Market System and, therefore, ONB shareholders presently are
not entitled to assert dissenters' rights under Indiana law with respect to any
of the transactions discussed above.
-62-
<PAGE>
With respect to dissenters' rights of the shareholders of City National in
connection with the Affiliation, see the discussion under the caption "PROPOSED
AFFILIATION -- Rights of Dissenting Shareholders" and Appendix B.
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
In the event of any liquidation or dissolution of ONB, the holders of
shares of ONB Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata with respect to the
number of shares held by them any assets distributable to shareholders, subject
to the payment of ONB's liabilities and any rights of creditors and holders of
shares of ONB preferred stock then outstanding. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of City National, the holders of shares of City
National Common Stock are entitled to receive pro rata with respect to the
number of shares held by them any assets distributable to shareholders, subject
to the payment of City National's liabilities and any rights of creditors.
ASSESSMENT AND REDEMPTION
Under Indiana law and Kentucky law, respectively, shares of ONB Common
Stock and City National Common Stock are not liable to further assessment.
Under Indiana law, ONB may redeem or acquire shares of ONB Common Stock
with funds legally available therefor, and shares so acquired constitute
authorized but unissued shares. ONB may not redeem or acquire shares of ONB
Common Stock if, after giving such redemption or acquisition effect, ONB would
not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business,
or ONB's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus,
unless ONB's Articles of Incorporation permitted otherwise, the amount that
would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of
shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those whose stock is
being redeemed or acquired if ONB were to be dissolved at the time of the
redemption or acquisition. City National has similar redemption rights under its
Articles.
In addition, ONB and City National must give prior notice to the Federal
Reserve if the consideration to be paid by them for any redemption or
acquisition of their respective shares, when aggregated with the consideration
paid for all redemptions or acquisitions for the preceding twelve (12) months,
equals or exceeds 10% of their respective consolidated net worth.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
The anti-takeover measures applicable to ONB and City National, as
described below, may have the effect of discouraging or rendering it more
difficult for a person or other entity to acquire control of ONB or City
National. These measures may have the effect of discouraging certain tender
offers for shares of ONB Common Stock or City National Common Stock which might
otherwise be made at premium prices or certain other acquisition transactions
which might be viewed favorably by a significant number of shareholders.
Indiana Law. Under the business combinations provision of Indiana law, any
10% shareholder of an Indiana corporation, with a class of voting shares
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or which has specifically
adopted this provision in the corporation's articles of incorporation, is
prohibited for a period of five (5) years from completing a business combination
with the corporation unless, prior to the acquisition of such 10% interest, the
board of directors of the corporation approved either the acquisition of such
interest or the proposed business combination. Further, the corporation and a
10% shareholder may not consummate a
-63-
<PAGE>
business combination unless all provisions of the articles of incorporation of
the corporation are complied with and a majority of disinterested shareholders
approve the transaction or all shareholders receive a price per share determined
in accordance with the business combinations provision of Indiana law.
An Indiana corporation may elect to remove itself from the protection
provided by the Indiana business combinations provision, but such an election
remains ineffective for eighteen (18) months and does not apply to a combination
with a shareholder who acquired a 10% ownership position prior to the effective
time of the election. ONB is covered by the business combinations provision of
Indiana law and City National is not covered. The constitutional validity of the
business combinations provision of Indiana law has in the past been challenged
and has been upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
In addition to the business combinations provision, Indiana law also
contains a "control share acquisition" provision which, although different in
structure from the business combinations provision, may have a similar effect of
discouraging or making more difficult a hostile takeover of an Indiana
corporation. This provision also may have the effect of discouraging premium
bids for outstanding shares. Indiana law provides that, unless otherwise
provided in an Indiana corporation's articles of incorporation or by-laws,
certain acquisitions of shares of the corporation's common stock will be
accorded voting rights only if a majority of the disinterested shareholders
approves a resolution granting the potential acquiror the ability to vote such
shares. Upon disapproval of the resolution, the shares held by the acquiror
shall be redeemed by the corporation at the fair value of the shares as
determined by the control share acquisition provision.
This provision does not apply to a plan of affiliation and merger, if the
corporation complies with the applicable merger provisions and is a party to the
agreement of merger or plan of share exchange. ONB is subject to the control
share acquisition provision.
ONB's Articles of Incorporation. In addition to the protections provided
by Indiana law, ONB's Articles of Incorporation require the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding
shares of capital stock for any business combination which is not recommended by
the vote of two-thirds or more of the members of the Board of Directors. For
purposes of ONB's Articles of Incorporation, "business combination" is defined
to include: (1) a merger or consolidation of ONB with or into any other
corporation, (2) any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any material
part of the assets of ONB, or (3) any liquidation or dissolution of ONB or any
material subsidiary of ONB. Further, this provision cannot be altered, amended
or repealed without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty
percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding shares of ONB Common Stock entitled
to vote thereon.
ONB's Articles of Incorporation also include provisions requiring (1) the
Board of Directors to consider non-financial factors in the evaluation of
business combinations and tender or exchange offers, and (2) any person
acquiring fifteen percent (15%) of the then issued and outstanding stock of ONB
to pay equal consideration in connection with the acquisition of any further
shares. These provisions require an eighty percent (80%) affirmative vote of the
issued and outstanding shares of ONB Common Stock entitled to vote thereon in
order to be altered, amended or repealed.
ONB's Shareholder Rights Plan. On January 25, 1990, the Board of Directors
of ONB declared a dividend of one (1) right for each issued and outstanding
share of ONB Common Stock ("Right"). See "COMPARISON OF COMMON STOCK --
Authorized But Unissued Shares". The dividend was payable on March 15, 1990 to
holders of record of ONB Common Stock at the close of business on March 1, 1990.
Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from ONB one-hundredth
(1/100) of a share of ONB Series A
-64-
<PAGE>
preferred stock at an initial Purchase Price of $60.00, subject to adjustment.
The terms and conditions of the Rights are contained in a Rights Agreement
between ONB and Old National Bank in Evansville, as Rights Agent.
The foregoing information concerning ONB's shareholder Rights Plan does not
purport to be complete. For additional information, see The Rights Agreement,
dated March 1, 1990, between ONB and Old National Bank in Evansville, as
Trustee, which is specifically incorporated herein by reference. See
"INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE."
Kentucky Law. Under the business combination provisions of Kentucky Law,
banks and bank holding companies (as defined in the BHC Act) are exempt from
such provisions unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise. City
National's Articles do not incorporate the Kentucky business combination
provisions or any other requirements for special voting requirements for
business combinations. The Kentucky business combination provisions prohibit any
10% shareholder of a Kentucky corporation with 500 or more shareholders or which
has specifically adopted this provision for a period of five years from
completing a business combination with such corporation unless prior to the
acquisition of such 10% interest, the independent members of the board of
directors of the corporation approved the business combination. Further, such
corporation and the 10% shareholder may not consummate a business combination
unless approved by the independent members of the board of directors, a two-
thirds vote of the disinterested shareholders, or if all shareholders receive a
price per share determined in accordance with the business combination
provisions of Kentucky law.
Since these provisions do not apply to City National, the affirmative vote
of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at the City
National Special Shareholders' Meeting is required for approval of the
Affiliation.
City National's Articles of Incorporation. City National's Articles do not
contain any anti-takeover provisions, except to the extent that the provisions
for preemptive rights and cumulative voting in the election of directors
provided in City National's Articles might have an anti-takeover effect.
DIRECTOR LIABILITY
Under Indiana law, a director of ONB will not be liable to shareholders for
any action taken as a director, or any failure to take any action, unless (1)
the director has breached or failed to perform his duties as a director in good
faith with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would
exercise under similar circumstances and in a manner the director reasonably
believes to be in the best interests of the corporation and (2) such breach or
failure to perform constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness.
Under Kentucky law, a director of City National may not be liable by reason
of serving as a director or for any action taken as a director if the director
acts in good faith and in a manner the director reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, as to any criminal
action, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
director may be liable for his negligence or misconduct in the performance of
his duty to the corporation.
DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS
-65-
<PAGE>
ONB's By-Laws require that all nominations for election as directors of ONB
shall be made by the Board of Directors of ONB in accordance with the By-Laws.
Under the By-Laws, the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of ONB
("Nominating Committee") is required to submit to the entire Board of Directors
its recommendation of nominees for election as directors of ONB prior to each
annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors will be elected.
The Nominating Committee is comprised of five (5) directors of ONB, none of
whom is an officer or employee of ONB. The Nominating Committee maintains the
responsibility to recruit potential director candidates, recommend changes to
the entire Board of Directors concerning the size, composition and
responsibilities of the Board of Directors, review proxy documents received from
shareholders relating to the Board of Directors and review suggestions of
shareholders regarding nominees for election as directors. All such suggestions
of shareholders with respect to director nominations must be submitted in
writing to the Nominating Committee not less than 120 days prior to the date of
the annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors will be
elected.
LEGAL OPINIONS
Certain legal matters in connection with the Agreement will be passed upon
for ONB by the law firm of Krieg DeVault Alexander & Capehart, One Indiana
Square, Suite 2800, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204, and for City National by the
law firm of Gerrish & McCreary, 700 Colonial Road, Suite 200, Memphis, Tennessee

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- ----------------------------
Board of Directors
City National Bancorp, Inc.
Fulton, Kentucky
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of City
National Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1994.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of City
National Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary at December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the
results of their operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three
year period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," in 1994.

CITY NATIONAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Basis of Presentation - City National Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and
its wholly-owned subsidiary, City National Bank of Fulton (the Bank), provide
banking services to the domestic market. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All material
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
B. Cash and Cash Equivalents - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal
funds sold. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
C. Investment Securities - On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted
Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities". The Statement requires the Bank to classify its
investment security portfolio into three categories; trading securities,
securities available for sale and securities held to maturity.
The Bank's policy is to classify all U. S. Treasury securities, U.S.
Government agency securities and asset-backed securities as available for sale.
All remaining securities are classified as held to maturity based on
management's positive intent and ability to hold such securities to maturity.
Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair value.
Adjustments from amortized cost to fair value are recorded in stockholders'
equity, net of related income tax, under unrealized gain (loss) on investment
securities. The adjustment is computed on the difference between fair value and
cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are
recorded as adjustments to interest income on a constant yield method.
Investment securities held to maturity are stated at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts which are recorded as
adjustments to interest income on a constant yield method.
Gains or losses on dispositions are based on the net proceeds and the
adjusted carrying amount of the securities sold, using the specific
identification method.
D. Loans - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by
unearned interest, unearned loan fees (net of related direct costs) and a
provision for loan losses. Unearned interest is recognized as income using a
method which approximates the interest method. Unearned loan fees are
recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan.
Interest income on other loans is recognized on the accrual basis except for
those loans in a nonaccrual income status. Loans are placed in a nonaccrual
income status when management believes, after consideration of economic and
business conditions and collection efforts, that the borrowers' financial
condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful.
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. The allowance is an amount that management believes
will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become
uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior
loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as
changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio
quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that
may affect the
F-8
<PAGE>
borrowers' ability to pay. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan
losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is
unlikely.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 114, "Accounting By Creditors For Impairment
of a Loan" which requires that allowances for loan losses on impaired loans be
determined using the present value of estimated future cash flows of the loan,
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. A loan is considered to be
impaired when it is probable that all principal and interest amounts will not be
collected according to the loan contract. The statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1994. The Company plans to adopt the
statement, as required, on January 1, 1995. The effect of adopting the new
guidance is not anticipated to be material to the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
E. Bank Premises and Equipment - Bank premises and equipment are stated
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded principally by
accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the Bank premises and
equipment.
F. Real Estate Acquired Through Foreclosure - Real estate acquired through
foreclosure is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the property
or its fair value. The value of the underlying loan is written down to the fair
value of the real estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan
losses, if necessary. Any subsequent write-downs are charged to operating
expenses. Operating expenses of such properties, net of related income, and
gains and losses on their disposition are included in other expenses.
G. Income Taxes - The Company and Bank file a consolidated federal income
tax return. The Bank is charged or credited an amount equal to the tax that
would have been applicable on a separate return basis.
Deferred income taxes are provided for using the liability method. Under
the liability method, deferred income taxes are based on the change from the
beginning of the year in the deferred tax liability or asset established for the
expected future tax consequences of differences in the financial reporting and
tax bases of assets and liabilities. The differences relate principally to
accounting methods, fixed assets, allowance for loan losses and pension and
benefit plans.
H. Per Share Information - Earnings per share are computed based on the
weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the year.
NOTE 2 - RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANK
The Bank is required by law to maintain reserves, in the form of vault cash
or non-interest bearing balances with the Federal Reserve Bank, against a
percentage of certain deposit liabilities. The average amount of those required
reserve balances for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $419,000.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES
On January 1, 1994, the Company changed its accounting for certain debt and
equity securities to conform with the adoption of FASB No. 115. The effect of
this change was to increase stockholders' equity by $346,334 which was net of
deferred income taxes of $178,414.
Amortized cost and fair value of investment securities, by category, at

NOTE 7 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES
The Bank owns 6,251 shares of stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of
Cincinnati, Ohio. This stock ownership allows the Bank to borrow long-term
advances from FHLB which the Bank uses to fund long-term fixed rate mortgages.
The stock is included in investment securities.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, $5,752,890 and $6,014,184, respectively,
represented the balance due on the advances from the FHLB. The advances are
repaid on a monthly basis over a term of ten to twenty years with interest
ranging from 5.70% to 7.60%. Advances are secured by the FHLB stock and all
single family first mortgage loans. Scheduled principal payments due on
advances during the five years subsequent to December 31, 1994 are as follows:
1995 - $279,830; 1996 - $297,368; 1997 -$316,009; 1998 - $335,821; 1999 -
$355,746; years thereafter - $4,168,116.
NOTE 8 - LIMITATION ON BANK DIVIDENDS
Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without
prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of
dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year's
net profits, as defined, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding
two years. During 1995 the Bank could, without prior approval, declare
dividends of approximately $990,000 plus any 1995 net profits retained to the
date of the dividend declaration.
NOTE 9 - CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
The Company declared a $2.00 per share dividend to shareholders of record
on December 31, 1994 and 1993. The total dividend amount for both years is
$95,930 and was paid in January 1995 and 1994, respectively.
During 1993 the Company declared a 10% stock dividend which resulted in the
issuance of 4,294 shares. All references to the number of common shares and per
share amounts have been adjusted to reflect this stock dividend.

NOTE 10 - RETIREMENT PLANS
Pension Plan - The Bank has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
covering substantially all of its employees. The Bank's funding policy is to
contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income
tax purposes. Benefits are based on one percent of employee average earnings
for the previous five years times years of credited service. Pension gain
amounted to $50,463, $54,017 and $49,224 for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts
recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets:

on plan assets is 8.5%. The assumed rate of salary increases is 5%.
Profit Sharing and Thrift Plan - The Bank has a qualified profit sharing
and thrift plan (4O1-k) which covers substantially all employees. Contributions
to the Profit Sharing Plan are at the discretion of the Bank's Board of
Directors. Employees may contribute up to 10% of earnings to the thrift plan and
the Bank will match
F-14
<PAGE>
25% of each dollar up to 4%. The contribution to the plan was $5,778, $5,400 and
$5,068 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Bank has a qualified Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (ESOP) covering substantially all of its employees.
Contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Bank's Board of
Directors. The contribution to the plan was $51,500, $80,209 and $47,816 in
1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Supplemental Income Plan - The Bank has a funded non-qualified "Executive
Supplemental Income (ESI)" Plan for key employees which provides for deferred
compensation at the employees retire ment. The Plan is funded with insurance
contracts whose current value at December 31, 1994 was $1,185,361 and is
included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The insurance company holding the plan's underlying policies and cash
surrender value is currently operating under an Order of Rehabilitation with
state insurance regulators. Certain restrictions have been placed on
distributions of surrender value, however, other benefits are being processed.
The Company is uncertain as to the ultimate effect, if any, on the consolidated
financial statements. However, in compliance with bank regulator memorandum
accrual of income will cease effective January 1, 1995, and will not resume
until the asset loses this classification. The income for this plan was $23,464
and $315 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Retirement Benefit Agreement - The Bank provides a deferred compensation
plan for an executive officer. The plan provides for monthly distributions over
a ten year period beginning in 1995. The Bank is funding the plan by
contributions to a trust account for five years beginning in 1990 at $29,500
annually.
NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include standby letters of credit and commitments to
extend credit in the form of unused lines of credit. The Bank uses the same
credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.
At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Bank had the following financial
instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
1994 1993
<S> <C> <C>
Standby letters of credit $ 67,500 $ 107,500
Commitments to extend credit $5,457,000 $4,721,000
</TABLE>
Standby letters of credit represent conditional commitments issued by the
Bank to guarantee the performance of a third party. The credit risk involved in
issuing these letters of credit is essentially the same as the risk involved in
extending loans to customers. These letters of credit are not secured by any
collateral.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any conditions established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit-
worthiness on a case-by-case basis. Since many of the commitments are expected
to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. Collateral held varies but
primarily includes real estate.

NOTE 12 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Bank grants residential, commercial and consumer related loans to
customers primarily located in Fulton and adjoining counties in Kentucky and
Tennessee. Although the Bank has a diverse loan portfolio, a substantial
portion of its debtors' ability to perform on their contracts is somewhat
dependent upon the agricultural and automotive industries which have a
significant impact on the local economy.
NOTE 13 - ASSET ACQUISITION
On October 17, 1994, the Bank acquired the assets and assumed the
liabilities of a savings and loan association located in Fulton, Kentucky. The
excess of liabilities assumed over the fair value of net assets received
(goodwill) of $328,164 is being amortized on a straight-line basis over fifteen
years.

SECTION 2
MANNER AND BASIS
OF EXCHANGE OF STOCK
--------------------
2.01. Exchange Ratio. (a) Upon and by virtue of the Merger becoming
effective at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of City
National Common Stock (as defined in Section 4.03 hereof) shall be converted
into the right to receive eleven and five-tenths (11.5) shares of ONB common
stock ("Exchange Ratio"), subject to adjustment, if any, pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.03 hereof. The total number of shares of ONB common
stock to be issued upon application of the Exchange Ratio, without any
adjustment pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 9.01(a)(iii) hereof, shall not be more
than 551,597. The Exchange Ratio is based upon a Market Value (as defined
below) of ONB common stock of $34.50, resulting in each share of City National
Common Stock being converted into such number of shares of ONB common stock
having an aggregate Market Value equal to $396.75 (prior to any applicable
adjustment hereunder).
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Market Value" of ONB common stock
shall be the average of the per share closing prices of ONB common stock, as
reported on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation

which shares of ONB common stock are traded within the ten (10) calendar days
immediately preceding the Effective Time.
2.02. No Fractional Shares. Certificates for fractional shares of ONB
common stock shall not be issued for fractional interests arising from
application of the Exchange Ratio. Each shareholder of City National who would
otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of ONB common stock shall
be paid in cash an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Market Value
of ONB common stock.
A-2
<PAGE>
2.03. Recapitalization. If, between the date of this Agreement and the
Effective Time, ONB distributes or issues a stock dividend with respect to its
shares of common stock, or combines, subdivides, reclassifies or splits up its
issued and outstanding shares of common stock, such that the number of issued
and outstanding shares of ONB common stock is increased or decreased, then the
Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted so that City National's shareholders shall
receive, in the aggregate, such number of shares of ONB common stock
representing the same percentage of outstanding shares of ONB common stock at
the Effective Time as would have been represented by the number of shares such
shareholders would have received if any of the foregoing actions had not
occurred.
2.04. Distribution of ONB Common Stock and Cash. (a) Following the
Effective Time and within twenty (20) days thereof, ONB shall mail to each City
National shareholder a letter of transmittal providing instructions as to the
transmittal to ONB of certificates representing shares of City National Common
Stock and the issuance of shares of ONB common stock in exchange therefor
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Following the Effective Time, distribution of stock certificates
representing shares of ONB common stock and any cash payment, without interest,
for fractional shares, if any, shall be made by ONB to each former shareholder
of City National within fifteen (15) business days following delivery to ONB of
the shareholder's certificate(s) representing its shares of City National Common
Stock accompanied by a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal,
all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ONB.
(c) Following the Effective Time, stock certificates representing shares of
City National Common Stock shall be deemed to evidence ownership of ONB common
stock for all corporate purposes other than the payment of dividends or other
distributions. No dividends or other distributions otherwise payable subsequent
to the Effective Time on shares of ONB common stock shall be paid to any City
National shareholder entitled to receive the same until such shareholder has
surrendered to ONB his or her certificate or certificates representing City
National Common Stock in exchange for a certificate or certificates representing
ONB common stock. Upon surrender, there shall be paid in cash to the record
holder of the new certificate or certificates evidencing shares of ONB common
stock the amount of all dividends and other distributions, without interest
thereon, withheld with respect to such shares of ONB common stock.
(d) ONB shall be entitled to rely upon the stock transfer books of City
National to establish the person entitled to receive shares of ONB common stock,
which books shall be conclusive with respect to the ownership of shares of City
National Common Stock.
(e) With respect to any certificate for shares of City National Common
Stock which has been lost, stolen or destroyed, ONB shall be authorized to issue
common stock (or to pay cash as to fractional shares) to the registered owner of
such certificate upon receipt by ONB of an agreement to indemnify ONB against
loss from such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate and an affidavit of lost,
stolen or destroyed stock certificate, both in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to ONB, and upon compliance by the City National shareholder with
all other reasonable requirements of ONB in connection with lost, stolen or

best knowledge of ONB after due inquiry, threatened in any court or before any
government agency or authority, arbitration panel or otherwise (nor does ONB
have any knowledge of a basis for any claim, action, suit, proceeding,
litigation, investigation or arbitration) against, by or affecting ONB or its
subsidiaries which could have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition, results of operations, business, assets or capitalization of ONB and
its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, or which would prevent the performance
of this Agreement, declare the same unlawful or cause the rescission hereof.
(b) ONB (i) is not subject to any outstanding judgment, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court, arbitration panel or governmental agency or
authority, (ii) is not presently charged with, or to the best
A-18
<PAGE>
knowledge of ONB, under governmental investigation with respect to any actual or
alleged violations of any law, statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, or (iii)
is not the subject of any pending or, to the best knowledge of ONB after due
inquiry, threatened proceeding by any government regulatory agency or authority
having jurisdiction over its business, assets, capital properties or operations.
5.08. Financial Statements and Reports. (a) ONB or its agents have
delivered to City National copies of the following financial statements and
reports of ONB and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "ONB Financial
Statements"):
(i) Consolidated Balance Sheets and related Consolidated Statements of
Income and Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity
of ONB as of and for the years ended December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994
and as of and for the interim periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1995;
and
(ii) Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of ONB for the years ended
December 31, 1992, 1993 and 1994.
(b) The ONB Financial Statements are true, accurate and complete in all
material respects and present fairly the consolidated financial positions of ONB
and its subsidiaries as of and at the dates shown and the consolidated results
of operations for the periods covered thereby. The ONB Financial Statements
described in clauses (i) and (ii) above which consist of fiscal year-end
information are audited financial statements and have been prepared in
conformance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis except as may otherwise be indicated in any accountants notes
or reports with respect to such financial statements. The ONB Financial
Statements described in clause (i) above as of and for the periods ended March
31, 1994 and 1995 are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis consistent
with past accounting practices and as required by applicable rules or
regulations and present fairly the consolidated financial condition and results
of operations at the dates and for the periods presented, subject to year-end
audit adjustments (which adjustments in the aggregate would not reasonably be
expected to be materially adverse to ONB on a consolidated basis). The ONB
Financial Statements do not include any assets, liabilities or obligations or
omit to state any assets, liabilities or obligations, absolute or contingent, or
any other facts, which inclusion or omission would render the ONB Financial
Statements false, misleading or inaccurate in any material respect.
5.09. Shares to be Issued in Merger. The shares of ONB common stock which
City National shareholders will be entitled to receive upon consummation of the
Merger pursuant to this Agreement will, at the Effective Time, be duly
authorized and will, when issued in accordance with this Agreement, be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act").
5.10. Shareholder Approval. The approval by ONB's shareholders of the
Merger contemplated by this Agreement is not required.
5.11. Title to Assets. ONB has good and marketable title in fee simple
absolute to all real property (including, without limitation, all real property
used as bank holding company or bank premises and all other real estate owned)
which is reflected in the ONB Financial Statements as of March 31, 1995; good
and marketable title to all personal property reflected in the ONB Financial
Statements as of March 31, 1995, other than personal property disposed of in the
ordinary course of business since March 31, 1995; good and marketable title to
all other properties and assets (whether real or personal, tangible or
intangible) which ONB
A-19
<PAGE>
purports to own; good and marketable title to or right to use by terms of a
valid and enforceable lease or contract all other property used in ONB's
business; and good and marketable title to all property and assets acquired and
not disposed of since March 31, 1995. All of such properties and assets are
owned by ONB free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, restrictions,
security interests, charges, claims or encumbrances of any nature except (i) as
specifically noted in reasonable detail in the ONB Financial Statements; (ii)
statutory liens for taxes not yet delinquent or being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings; (iii) pledges or liens required to be granted in
connection with the acceptance of government deposits or granted in connection
with repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements; and (iv) easements,
encumbrances and liens of record, minor imperfections of title and other
limitations which are not material in amounts to ONB on a consolidated basis, do
not materially detract from the value or materially interfere with the present
or contemplated use of any of the properties subject thereto or otherwise
materially impair the use thereof for the purposes for which they are held or
used. All real property owned by ONB is in material compliance with all
applicable zoning laws.
5.12. Loans and Investments. (a) The reserves, the allowance for
possible loan and lease losses and the carrying value for real estate owned
which are shown on the ONB Financial Statements are adequate in all respects
under the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis to provide for possible losses on items for which reserves were
made, on loans and leases outstanding and real estate owned as of the respective
dates. The aggregate loan balances outstanding as of March 31, 1995 in excess of
the reserve for loan losses as of such date are collectible in accordance with
their respective terms.
(b) All loans reflected in the ONB Financial Statements as of March 31,
1995 and which have been made, extended, renewed, restructured, approved,
amended or acquired since March 31, 1995 (i) have been made for good, valuable
and adequate consideration in the ordinary course of business and; to the best
knowledge of ONB solely with respect to the authenticity of the signatures of
borrowers, obligors and guarantors thereon (ii) constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the obligor and any guarantor named therein, except to the
extent limited by general principles of equity and public policy or by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium, readjustment of
debt or other laws of general application relative to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights; (iii) are evidenced by notes, instruments or
other evidences of indebtedness which are true, genuine and what they purport to
be; and (iv) are secured, to the extent that ONB or any subsidiary thereof has a
security interest in collateral or a mortgage securing such loans, by perfected
security interests or recorded mortgages naming ONB or any subsidiary thereof as
the secured party or mortgagee.

which ONB participates as a participating employer; to which ONB contributes;
with respect to which ONB acts as administrator, trustee or fiduciary; whether
written or oral; and including any such plans which have been terminated, merged
into another plan, frozen or discontinued (collectively, "ONB Plans"): (i) all
such ONB Plans have, on a continuous basis since their adoption, been maintained
in compliance with the requirements prescribed by all applicable statutes,
orders and governmental rules or regulations, including, without limitation,
ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"), and the
Department of Labor ("Department") and Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, the breach of which could have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition, results of operations, business, assets or capital of ONB
on a consolidated basis; (ii) all ONB Plans intended to constitute tax-qualified
plans under Section 401(a) of the Code have complied since their adoption in all
respects with all applicable requirements of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, and favorable determination
A-20
<PAGE>
letters have been timely received from the Internal Revenue Service ("Service")
with respect to each such ONB Plan stating that each, in its current form (or at
the time of its disposition if it has been terminated, merged or discontinued),
is qualified under and satisfies all applicable provisions of the Code and
Treasury Regulations; (iii) no ONB Plan (or its related trust) holds any stock
of ONB or any related or affiliated person or entity; (iv) ONB has no liability
to the Department or the Service with respect to any ONB Plan; (v) ONB has not
engaged in any transaction that may subject ONB, or any ONB Plan, to a civil

to be performed by ONB under any provision of a ONB Plan have been performed by
them and they are not in default under or in violation of any provision of a ONB
Plan; (x) no event has, to the best knowledge of ONB, occurred which would
constitute grounds for an enforcement action by any party under Part 5 of Title
I of ERISA under any ONB Plan; (xi) there are no actions, suits, proceedings or
claims pending (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the best
knowledge of ONB, threatened, against ONB, any ONB Plan or the assets of any ONB
Plan; and (xii) with respect to any ONB Plan sponsored, participated in or
contributed to by ONB or with respect to which ONB is responsible for complying
with the reporting and disclosure requirements of ERISA or the Code, there has
been, to the best knowledge of ONB, no violation of the reporting and disclosure
requirements imposed either under ERISA or the Code for which a penalty has been
or may be imposed.
(b) With regard to any ONB Plan intended to be qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code, no director, officer, employee or agent of ONB has engaged
in any action or failed to act in such a manner that, as a result of such action
or failure to act, (i) the Service could revoke or deny that plan's
qualification under Section 401(a) of the Code or the exemption under Section
501(a) of the Code for any trust related to such Plan or (ii) a participant or

disclose such changes to City National.

such third party with respect to an Acquisition Transaction only with the prior
written approval of ONB, which approval shall be provided to City National
promptly upon receipt by ONB of a letter from City National signed by at least a
majority of its Board of Directors then in office indicating that City National
has received an unsolicited offer regarding an Acquisition Transaction which the
Board of Directors of City National (i) considers, in the exercise of its
fiduciary duties as a Board, to be substantially superior to the then current
offer of ONB pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) concludes, after consultation
with its counsel, that its fiduciary duties as a Board require it to consider
and, in light of such duties, take such other actions with respect to such
unsolicited offer as may be necessary or appropriate. Such approval may, in all
other instances, be provided to City National when and if ONB shall, in its sole
discretion, determine.
(c) Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (as defined below) which

exclusive remedy under this Agreement. The term "Triggering Event" shall mean
any of the following events or transactions occurring after the date hereof:
(i) City National shall have entered into a binding letter of intent or
agreement to engage in an Acquisition Transaction (as defined herein)
with any person other than ONB or a subsidiary of ONB, or the Board of

approved, would result in any of the foregoing. The term 'person' for
purposes of this Section 6.06(c) shall mean a non-shareholder who is a

joint venture or other entity and also shall have the meaning assigned
thereto in Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder;
(ii) Any person who is not a shareholder of City National other than ONB, a
subsidiary of ONB, or any fiduciary acting under any employee benefit
plan for ONB or any of its subsidiaries, shall have acquired or agreed
to acquire beneficial ownership or the right to acquire beneficial
ownership of 20% or more of the presently outstanding shares of
capital stock of City National (the term 'beneficial ownership'shall

supplement, amend and update, upon the occurrence of any change prior to the
Effective Time, and as of the Effective Time, the Disclosure Schedule with
respect to any matters or events hereafter arising which, if in existence or
having occurred as of the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be
set forth or described in the Disclosure Schedule or this Agreement and
including, without limitation, any fact which, if existing or known as of the
date hereof, would have made any of the representations or warranties of City
National or Bank contained herein materially incorrect, untrue or misleading.

respective representatives and agents shall, at all times during normal business
hours prior to the Effective Time, have full and continuing access to the
properties, facilities, operations, books and records of City National and Bank.
ONB and its respective representatives and agents may, prior to the Effective
Time, make or cause to be made such reasonable investigation of the operations,
books, records and properties of City National and Bank and of their financial

however, that such access or investigation shall not interfere unnecessarily
with the normal operations of City National or Bank. Upon request, City National
and Bank shall furnish ONB or its respective representatives or agents, their
attorneys' responses to external auditors requests for information, management
letters received from their external auditors and such financial and operating
data and other information reasonably requested by ONB which has been or is
developed by City National or Bank, their auditors, accountants or attorneys
(provided with respect to attorneys, such disclosure would not result in the
waiver by City National or by Bank of any claim of attorney-client privilege),
and will permit ONB and its respective representatives or agents to discuss such
information directly with any individual or firm performing auditing or
accounting functions for City National or Bank, and such auditors and
accountants shall be directed to furnish copies of any reports or financial
information as developed to ONB or its respective representatives or agents. No
investigation by ONB shall affect the representations and warranties made by
City National or
A-27
<PAGE>
Bank herein. Any confidential information or trade secrets received by ONB or
its employees or agents in the course of such examination shall be treated
confidentially, and any correspondence, memoranda, records, copies, documents
and electronic or other media of any kind containing such confidential
information or trade secrets or both shall be destroyed by ONB or, at City
National's request, returned to City National in the event this Agreement is
terminated as provided in Section 9 hereof. This Section 6.09 shall not require
the disclosure of any information to ONB which would be prohibited by law.

after the date of this Agreement, City National shall deliver to ONB the monthly
unaudited consolidated balance sheets and profit and loss statements of City
National prepared for its internal use, Bank's Call Reports for each quarterly
period completed prior to the Effective Time and all other financial reports or
statements submitted to regulatory authorities after the date hereof, to the

Statements"). The Subsequent City National Financial Statements shall be
prepared on a basis consistent with past accounting practices and generally
accepted accounting principles and shall present fairly the financial condition
and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods presented. The
Subsequent City National Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, will
not include any material assets or omit to state any material liabilities,
absolute or contingent, or other facts, which inclusion or omission would render
such financial statements inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any respect.
6.11. Employee Benefits. The terms of Section 7.03 hereof or the
provision of any employee benefits by ONB or any of its subsidiaries to
employees of Bank shall not (i) create any employment contract, agreement or
understanding with or employment rights for, or constitute a commitment or
obligation of employment to, any of the officers or employees of City National
or Bank; or (ii) prohibit or restrict ONB or its subsidiaries, whether before or
after the Effective Time, from changing, amending or terminating any employee
benefits provided to its employees from time to time.

the date of this Agreement, an environmental investigation or audit of the
parcel of real estate located on Commercial Avenue and Main Street, Fulton,
Kentucky, popularly known as the Main Street Branch, and owned by City National
or Bank. City National shall cause to be issued promptly a Phase I environmental
audit report or site assessment ("Phase I") for this investigation satisfactory
in form and substance to ONB. The Phase I so prepared shall be provided to ONB
and included as an update to the City National Disclosure Schedule.
(b) City National and/or Bank shall take or cause to be taken, in
consultation with and upon approval of ONB and as soon as practicable after
receipt of any such Phase I, all remedial, corrective and additional action (i)
required by any Environmental Laws or (ii) recommended or suggested in the Phase
I.
(c) If in ONB's reasonable opinion made in good faith, the estimated cost
and expense of any legally required action as a result of or any suggested or
recommended action in the Phase I would have a material adverse effect on the
business, assets, capitalization, financial condition, or results of operations
of City National and Bank on a consolidated basis, or if City National or Bank
chooses not to take any such action as specified herein, then ONB may terminate
this Agreement.

SECTION 7
COVENANTS OF ONB
----------------
ONB covenants and agrees with City National as follows:
7.01. Approvals. ONB shall have primary responsibility for the
preparation, filing and cost of all bank holding company and bank regulatory
applications required for consummation of the Merger. ONB shall file all bank
holding company and bank regulatory applications as soon as practicable after
the execution of this Agreement. ONB shall provide to City National's counsel
copies of all applications filed and copies of all material written
communications with all state and federal bank regulatory agencies relating to
such applications. ONB shall proceed expeditiously, cooperate fully and use its
best efforts to procure, upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to ONB,
all consents, authorizations, approvals, registrations and certificates, to
complete all filings and applications and to satisfy all other requirements
prescribed by law which are necessary for consummation of the Merger on the
terms and conditions provided in this Agreement at the earliest possible
reasonable date.
7.02. SEC Registration. ONB shall file with the SEC as soon as
practicable after the execution of this Agreement a Registration Statement on an
appropriate form under the 1933 Act covering ONB common stock to be issued
pursuant to this Agreement and shall use its best efforts to cause the same to
become effective and thereafter, until the Effective Time or termination of this
Agreement, to keep the same effective and, if necessary, amend and supplement
the same. Such Registration Statement and any amendments and supplements thereto
are referred to in this Agreement as the "Registration Statement". The
Registration Statement shall include a proxy statement-prospectus reasonably
acceptable to ONB and City National, prepared for use in connection with the
meeting of shareholders of City National referred to in Section 6.01 of this
Agreement, all in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. ONB
shall, as soon as practicable after filing the Registration Statement, make all
filings required to obtain all Blue Sky exemptions, authorizations, consents or
approvals required for the issuance of ONB common stock. In advance of filing
the Registration Statement and all other filings described in Section 7.01
herein, ONB shall provide City National and its counsel with a copy of the
Registration Statement and each such other filing and provide an opportunity to
comment thereon.
7.03. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) At such time as ONB shall determine, in
its sole discretion, ONB will make available to the employees of Bank who
continue as employees of any subsidiary of ONB after the Effective Time and,
further, subject to Section 7.03(b), (c) and (d) hereof, substantially the same
employee benefits on substantially the same terms and conditions that ONB may
offer to similarly situated officers and employees of its banking subsidiaries
from time to time. Until such time as the employees of City National or Bank
become covered by the ONB welfare benefit plans, the employees of City National
or Bank shall remain covered by the welfare benefit plans sponsored by City
National or Bank, subject to the terms of such plans.
(b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) hereof, years of service
(as defined in the applicable ONB plan) of an officer or employee of Bank prior
to the Effective Time shall be credited, effective as of the date on which such
employees become covered by ONB's employee welfare benefit plans, to each such
officer or employee eligible for coverage under Section 7.03(a) hereof for
purposes of (i) eligibility under ONB's employee welfare benefit plans, and (ii)
eligibility and vesting, but not for purposes of benefit accrual or
contributions, under the ONB Employees' Retirement Plan ("ONB Pension Plan") and
under the ONB Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan ("ONB Profit Sharing
Plan"). Those officers and employees of
A-29
<PAGE>
Bank who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements of the ONB Pension Plan and
the ONB Profit Sharing Plan, based upon their age and years of Bank service,
shall become participants thereunder on the January 1st which coincides with or
next follows the Effective Time. Those officers or employees who do not meet the
eligibility requirements of the ONB Pension Plan or ONB Profit Sharing Plan on
such date shall become participants thereunder on the first plan entry date
under the ONB Pension Plan or the ONB Profit Sharing Plan, as the case may be,
which coincides with or next follows the date on which such eligibility
requirements are satisfied.
(c) Subject to the requirements and limitations of applicable law, ONB
shall take or cause to be taken the following actions regarding the disposition
of the following City National Plans:
(i) The City National defined benefit plan ("Pension Plan"), and all
assets and liabilities associated therewith, shall be merged with and
into the ONB Pension Plan. Such merger shall be effective as of the
December 31 which coincides with or immediately follows the Effective
Time. Until the effective date of such merger, participants in the
Pension Plan shall continue to accrue benefits under the Pension Plan
at which time the accrual of benefits thereunder shall cease. On the
Effective Date, all participants under the Pension Plan (and any Bank
employees who become participants under the Pension Plan after the
Effective Time but before the merger of such plan with and into the
ONB Pension Plan) who are actively employed by Bank on such date
shall become fully vested in their accrued benefits regardless of
their vested position under the Pension Plan. Bank shall make
contributions to the Pension Plan for the period from the Effective
Time through the effective date of the merger of such plan with and
into the ONB Pension Plan only to the extent required to maintain the
Pension Plan's tax-qualified status and avoid any federal income
taxes or penalties.
(ii) The City National defined contribution plan with the "401(k)" feature
("401(k) Plan"), and all assets and liabilities associated therewith,
shall be merged with and into the ONB Profit Sharing Plan. Such
merger shall be effective as of the December 31 which coincides with
or immediately follows the Effective Time. Until the effective date
of such merger, eligible participants under the 401(k) Plan may
continue to make salary deferral contributions thereunder, subject to
the terms of such plan; and, Bank may continue to make contributions
under such plan at substantially the same levels and at substantially
the same times as Bank has historically contributed to the 401(k)
Plan. On the Effective Date, all participants under the 401(k) Plan
(and any Bank employees who become participants under the 401(k) Plan
after the Effective Time but before the merger of such plan with and
into the ONB Profit Sharing Plan) shall become fully vested in their
account balances regardless of their vested position under the 401(k)
Plan.
(iii) The employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP") shall be terminated
effective as of the last day of the month in which the Effective Time
occurs. City National shall eliminate in connection with the
termination of the ESOP any optional form(s) of distribution under
the ESOP. In connection therewith, ONB shall file an application with
the Service for a determination letter to the effect that the
termination of the ESOP will not affect its tax qualified status.
City National may make contributions to the ESOP for the plan year
beginning January 1, 1995 and the period ended on the effective date
of the termination in accordance with the terms of the ESOP and not
exceeding Six Thousand Four Hundred
A-30
<PAGE>
Dollars ($6,400) per month for a maximum of ten (10) months or
$64,000 in the aggregate for the period commencing January 1, 1995
through the effective date of the termination. Effective as of the
Effective Time, all participants with an account balance under the
ESOP shall become fully vested in such accounts regardless of their
vested position under the ESOP. As soon as practicable following the
issuance of a favorable determination letter from the Service,
participants' benefits under the ESOP shall be distributed, in
connection with the ESOP termination, in a single lump sum or by
direct rollover to the ONB Profit Sharing Plan or an individual
retirement account. Such distributions (or the cash proceeds thereof)
shall be eligible to be rolled over directly to the rollover account
under the ONB Profit Sharing Plan; provided, however, that if any
participant in the ESOP directly rolls over any ONB common stock into
the ONB Profit Sharing Plan, such stock will be valued, for purposes
of establishing the participant's rollover account value, at the per
share closing price of ONB common stock as quoted on the NASDAQ
National Market System on the date of such stock's rollover into the
ONB Profit Sharing Plan and such stock will be commingled with other
assets in the ONB Profit Sharing Plan with no separate accounting
maintained for such stock with respect to any participant. Upon a
direct rollover of any ONB common stock into the ONB Profit Sharing
Plan, any participant who effects such a rollover will thereafter be
entitled only to an undivided interest in the assets of the ONB
Profit Sharing Plan and will not be entitled to maintain the rollover
proceeds as a segregated portion of the ONB Profit Sharing Plan
assets. ONB shall be responsible for the termination of the ESOP and
for making application to the Service for a determination letter to
the effect that the termination of the ESOP does not adversely affect
its tax-qualified status.
(iv) The Executive Supplemental Income contracts between City National
and certain executive officers who constitute members of a select
group of management or highly compensated employees (within the
meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of ERISA) shall
be maintained, in accordance with their respective terms, by ONB
after the Merger.
(v) All expenses and costs associated with the disposition of all City
National Plans in connection with the Merger shall be paid by City
National.
(d) No full-time officer or employee of Bank serving as of the Effective
Time shall be subject to any pre-existing condition exclusions under any of
ONB's welfare benefit plans if such officer, employee or individual was covered
by the corresponding Bank welfare benefit plan for more than two hundred seventy
(270) days immediately preceding the Effective Time.
(e) The terms of this Section 7.03 or the provision of any employee
benefits by ONB or any of its subsidiaries to employees of Bank shall not (i)
create any employment contract, agreement or understanding with or employment
rights for, or constitute a commitment or obligation of employment to, any of
the officers or employees of City National or Bank; or (ii) prohibit or restrict
ONB or its subsidiaries, whether before or after the Effective Time, from
changing, amending or terminating any employee benefits provided to its
employees from time to time.
7.04. Authorization of ONB Common Stock. The Board of Directors of ONB
shall, prior to the Effective Time, authorize the issuance of the required
number of shares of ONB common stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement and
take all other necessary corporate action to consummate the Merger contemplated
hereby.
A-31
<PAGE>
7.05. Press Releases. Except as required by law, ONB shall not issue any
press releases or make any other public announcements or disclosures relating
primarily to City National or Bank with respect to the Merger without the prior
consent of City National or Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
7.06. Information, Access Thereto, Confidentiality. City National and
Bank and its representatives and agents shall, at all times during normal
business hours prior to the Effective Time, have full and continuing access to
the material facilities, operations, books, records and properties of ONB. City
National and Bank and their respective representatives and agents may, prior to
the Effective Time, make or cause to be made such reasonable investigation of
the material operations, books, records and properties of ONB and of its
financial and legal condition as City National and Bank shall deem reasonable
necessary or advisable to familiarize itself with such books, records,
properties and other matters; provided, however, that such access or
investigation shall not interfere unnecessarily with the normal operations of
ONB. No investigation by City National or Bank shall affect the representations
and warranties made by ONB. Any confidential information or trade secrets
received by City National or Bank or their respective employees or agents in the
course of such examination shall be treated confidentially, and any
correspondence, memoranda, records, copies, documents and electronic or other
media of any kind containing such confidential information or trade secrets or
both shall be destroyed by City National or, at ONB's request, returned to ONB
in the event this Agreement is terminated as provided in Section 9 hereof. This
Section 7.06 shall not require the disclosure of any information to City
National and Bank the disclosure of which would be prohibited by law.
7.07. Employees. It is the intent of ONB as of the date of this
Agreement and will be its intent as of the Effective Time, that the employees of
Bank as of the Effective Time will continue to be employees of Bank following
the Effective Time with no termination in employment solely as a result of
consummation of the Merger contemplated herein. The terms of this Section 7.08
and of Section 7.02 hereof and the provision of any employee benefits by ONB or
any of its subsidiaries to employees of City National or Bank shall not (i)
create any employment contract, agreement or understanding with or employment
rights for, or constitute a commitment or obligation of employment to, any of
the officers or employees of City National or Bank; or (ii) prohibit or restrict
ONB or its subsidiaries, whether before or after the Effective Time, from
changing, amending or terminating any employee benefits provided to its
employees from time to time.
7.08. Indemnification and Insurance. (a) Indemnification. From and
after the Effective Time, ONB shall assume and honor any obligations as provided
for and permitted by applicable federal and state law which City National had
immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to the indemnification of
each person who is, on the date hereof, or has been at any time prior to the
date hereof, or who becomes, prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer
of City National, Bank or was serving at the request of City National as a
director or officer of any domestic or foreign corporation, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (collectively, the
"Indemnitees") arising out of City National's Articles of Incorporation or By-
Laws in effect at the Effective Time, against any and all losses in connection
with or arising out of any claim, which is based upon, arises out of or in any
way relates to any actual or alleged act or omission occurring at or prior to
the Effective Time in the Indemnitee's capacity as a director or officer
(whether elected or appointed), of City National or Bank. Indemnification of
employees and directors of City National or Bank following the Effective Time
will be provided to the same extent as provided to other persons serving in
similar capacities for ONB or its subsidiaries following the Effective Time.
(b) Insurance. For a period of one (1) year after the Effective Time, ONB
shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be maintained in effect, but at
Bank's cost, the current policies of directors' and officers' liability
insurance maintained by City National (provided that ONB may substitute therefor
policies of at least
A-32
<PAGE>
the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are
substantially no less advantageous) with respect to claims arising from facts or
events which occurred prior to or at the Effective Time. Following the Effective
Time, ONB will provide any City National or Bank employees who become officers
of ONB or any of its subsidiaries with the same directors' and officers'
liability insurance coverage that ONB provides to other similarly situated
officers of ONB and its bank subsidiaries.
7.09. Accounting Treatment. ONB shall not intentionally take or cause to
be taken any action which would prevent the Merger from qualifying for pooling
of interest accounting treatment solely as a means to terminate this Agreement.

Fulton, Kentucky
RE: FAIRNESS OPINION RELATIVE TO PENDING AGREEMENT OF CITY NATIONAL
BANCORP, INC., FULTON, KENTUCKY, TO MERGE WITH AND INTO OLD NATIONAL
BANCORP, EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
Gentlemen:
The Board of Directors of City National Bancorp, Inc. ("CNBI") retained Southard
Financial, in its capacity as a financial valuation and consulting firm, to
render its opinion of the fairness, from a financial viewpoint, of the
acquisition of CNBI by Old National Bancorp ("ONB"). Southard Financial and its
principals have no past, present, or future contemplated financial, equity, or
other interest in either CNBI or ONB. Southard Financial issued valuations of
the common stock of CNBI as of March 31, 1990 and December 31, 1990-94 for
purposes of the CNBI ESOP. This opinion is issued based upon financial data as
of June 30, 1995.
APPROACH TO ASSIGNMENT
The approach to this assignment was to consider the following factors:
. A review of the financial performance and position of CNBI and the value of
its common stock;
. A review of the financial performance and position of ONB and the value of
its common stock;
. A review of recent Bank merger transactions;
. A review of the current and historical market prices of bank holding
companies in Kentucky and surrounding states;
. A review of the investment characteristics of the common stock of CNBI and
ONB;
. A review of the Agreement and Plan of Merger between ONB and CNBI, dated
June 30, 1995;
. An evaluation of the impact of the merger on the expected return to the
current shareholders of CNBI; and,
C-2

Board of Directors
City National Bancorp, Inc.
Page 3
. An evaluation of other factors as were considered necessary to render this
opinion.
It is Southard Financial's understanding that the merger and resulting exchange
of the stock of ONB for the outstanding common stock of CNBI constitutes a non-
taxable exchange for federal income tax purposes.
DUE DILIGENCE REVIEW PROCESS
In performing this assignment, Southard Financial reviewed the documents
specifically outlined in Exhibit 1 pertaining to CNBI and in Exhibit 2
pertaining to ONB.
REVIEW OF CITY NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.
Southard Financial visited with the management of CNBI in Fulton, Kentucky.
Discussions included questions regarding the current and historical financial

and CNBI, dated June 30, 1995. Appropriate aspects of this agreement were
discussed with management and with legal counsel for CNBI. (See Exhibit 3, Terms
of the Agreement of Affiliation and Merger.)
Southard Financial did not independently verify the information reviewed, but

respects. Southard Financial did not make any independent evaluation of the
assets of ONB or CNBI, but reviewed data supplied by the management of both
institutions.

OVERVIEW OF FAIRNESS ANALYSIS
In connection with rendering its opinion, Southard Financial performed a variety
of financial analyses, which are summarized below. Southard Financial believes
that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that considering only
selected factors could create an incomplete view of the analyses and the process
underlying the opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex
process involving subjective judgments and is not susceptible to partial
analyses. In its analyses, Southard Financial made numerous assumptions, many
of which are beyond the control of CNBI and ONB. Any estimates contained in the
analyses prepared by Southard Financial are not necessarily indicative of future
results or values, which may vary significantly from such estimates. Estimates
of value of companies do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the
prices at which companies or their securities may actually be sold. None of the
analyses performed by Southard Financial was assigned a greater significance
than any other. (More details on the analyses prepared by Southard Financial
are contained in Exhibits 3-7.)
DIVIDEND YIELD ANALYSIS
In evaluating the impact of the proposed merger on the shareholders of CNBI,
Southard Financial reviewed the dividend paying histories of CNBI and ONB.
Based upon this review, it is reasonable to expect that the shareholders of
CNBI, in total, will receive dividends at or above the level currently paid by
CNBI, after the merger is completed (defined as post merger dividends per share
times the exchange ratio). This is predicated on the assumption that ONB will
continue per share dividends at or above current levels (see Exhibit 4).
EARNINGS YIELD ANALYSIS
In evaluating the impact of the proposed merger on the shareholders of CNBI,
Southard Financial determined that, based upon the proposed exchange ratio, the
shareholders of CNBI would have seen an increase in their share of earnings
(defined as post merger combined earnings per share times the exchange ratio),
had the merger been consummated by year-end 1994. The analysis also suggests
expected higher earnings yields for CNBI shareholders in subsequent years if the
merger is consummated (see Exhibit 4).
BOOK VALUE ANALYSIS
In evaluating the impact of the proposed merger on the shareholders of CNBI,
Southard Financial determined that the shareholders of CNBI would have seen an
increase in the book value of their investment had the merger been consummated
prior to December 31, 1994, or prior to June 30, 1995.
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
C-5
<PAGE>
Board of Directors
City National Bancorp, Inc.
Page 6
In evaluating the fairness of the proposed merger to the shareholders of CNBI,
Southard Financial reviewed another offer received for the purchase/merger of
CNBI. Further, Southard Financial considered recent public market merger
pricing information (see Exhibit 5).
ANALYSIS OF MARKET TRANSACTIONS
Based upon the merger terms, CNBI shareholders will receive 216% of June 30,
1995 book value per share, 18.0x reported 1994 earnings, and 20.2x budgeted 1995
earnings. Based upon the review conducted by Southard Financial, the pricing
for CNBI in the merger is above the range of multiples seen in recent bank
acquisitions (see Exhibit 5).
FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Southard Financial reviewed the financial characteristics of CNBI and ONB with
respect to profitability, capital ratios, liquidity, asset quality, and other
factors. Southard Financial compared CNBI and ONB to a universe of publicly
traded banks and bank holding companies and to peer groups prepared by the
Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). Southard Financial
found that the post-merger combined entity will have capital ratios and
profitability ratios near those of the public peer group and the FFIEC peer
group (predominantly non-publicly traded banks). (See Exhibits 6-7.)
LIQUIDITY
Unlike CNBI stock, ONB shares are traded on the NASDAQ market. Further, except
in the case of officers, directors, and certain principal shareholders of CNBI,
ONB shares received will be freely tradeable with no restrictions.
SUMMARY OF ANALYSES
The summary set forth does not purport to be a complete description of the
analyses performed by Southard Financial. The analyses performed by Southard
Financial are not necessarily indicative of actual values, which may differ
significantly from those suggested by such analyses. Southard Financial did not
appraise any individual assets or liabilities of CNBI or ONB.
Throughout the due diligence process, all information provided by CNBI, ONB, and
third party sources, was relied upon by Southard Financial without independent
verification.
Based upon the analyses discussed above, and other analyses performed by
Southard Financial, the impact of the merger on the shareholders of CNBI is
expected to be favorable.

Based upon the analyses of the foregoing and such matters as were considered
relevant, it is the opinion of Southard Financial that the terms of the offer
for the acquisition of City National Bancorp, Inc. by Old National Bancorp
pursuant to the Agreement of Affiliation and Merger are fair, from a financial
viewpoint, to the shareholders of City National Bancorp, Inc.

TERMS OF THE
AGREEMENT OF AFFILIATION AND MERGER
The Agreement of Affiliation and Merger, dated as of June 30, 1995, by and
between Old National Bancorp and City National Bancorp, Inc. (the "Agreement")
contains several provisions. The following are key provisions of the Agreement:
In exchange for each share of CNBI common stock outstanding, CNBI shareholders
will receive 11.5 newly issued shares of ONB common stock.
The parties intend for the merger to qualify as a "reorganization" under the
Internal Revenue Code. Thus, the exchange of CNBI stock for ONB stock is
expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange for Federal income tax purposes.
The exchange of cash for fractional shares may have tax consequences.
The exchange ratio will be based upon the market value of ONB common stock,
calculated as the average of the closing prices of ONB common stock on the
first five business (trading) days within the ten calendar days immediately
prior to the effective date of the transaction (the "market value").
No fractional shares will be issued by ONB. CNBI shareholders who would
otherwise have been entitled to fractional shares (after aggregating all
shares owned) will be paid in cash based upon the market value of ONB stock as
defined above.
The Agreement may be terminated by either party: upon the mutual consent of
the Board of Directors of each institution; if the market value of ONB stock
(as defined above and in the Agreement) is less than $32.00 per share or more
than $37.00 per share; or if the merger is not consummated by March 31, 1996.
Further, the respective parties may terminate the Agreement upon the happening
of certain material events, as described in the Agreement.
The exchange ratio will be adjusted to reflect any reclassification,
recapitalization, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, or stock
dividend which might occur at ONB subsequent to the date of the Agreement but
prior to the consummation of the merger.

EXHIBIT 4
EXPECTED IMPACT OF THE MERGER
ON THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CITY NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.
The following is a summary of the various analyses undertaken in conjunction
with this fairness opinion. This summary is not intended to represent all
analyses performed by Southard Financial, but is presented here for the
convenience of CNBI and its shareholders.
Assuming a price of $34.50 per share of ONB stock as the market value to be used
in the merger, CNBI shareholders would receive 11.5 equivalent shares of ONB
stock for each share of CNBI stock exchanged under the Agreement, or $396.75
($34.50 x 11.5).
EARNINGS CNBI earned $22.01 per share in 1994. ONB earned $2.01 per share in
1994 (fully diluted). Had the merger been consummated prior to
January 1, 1994, each former CNBI share would have earned $23.12 in
1994 (ONB 1994 earnings of $2.01 per share times 11.5 equivalent
shares). This represents an increase of 5% over what CNBI earned in
1994. Further, each former CNBI share would have earned about 12%
more in the first half of 1995 ($10.45 per share for CNBI versus
$1.02 per share for ONB times 11.5 equivalent shares).
Based upon the analysts surveyed, ONB is expected to earn $2.25 per
share in 1995. CNBI is budgeted to earn about $19.60 per share in
1995. Assuming that the merger was consummated prior to January 1,
1995, CNBI shareholders would see an increase of about 32% over
what CNBI management budgeted to earn in 1995, absent the merger.
DIVIDENDS Each share of CNBI stock received $2.00 per share in dividends in
1994. Had the merger been consummated prior to January 1, 1994,
each former share of CNBI stock would have received dividends of
$10.12 in 1994 (ONB 1994 dividends of $0.88 per share times 11.5
equivalent shares). This represents over five times the dividends
paid to CNBI shareholders in 1994. As of June 30, 1995, ONB's
annual dividend rate was $0.92 per share.
BOOK VALUE Reported book value of CNBI was $145.80 per share at December 31,
1994. Reported book value of ONB at December 31, 1994 was $16.71
per share. Had the merger been consummated prior to December 31,
1994, each former CNBI stock would have book value of $192.17 (ONB
book value of $16.71 per share times 11.5 equivalent shares). This
represents 132% of CNBI book value at December 31, 1994. As of June
30, 1995, CNBI shareholders would have seen an increase of about 7%
in their book value ($183.30 per share for CNBI versus $17.13 per
share for ONB times 11.5 equivalent shares).
LIQUIDITY Unlike CNBI stock, ONB shares are traded on the NASDAQ market.
Average daily trading volume was about 12-13,000 shares during the
first four months of 1995. Further, except in the case of officers,
directors, and certain principal shareholders of CNBI, ONB shares
received will be freely tradeable with no restrictions.

COMPARISON OF THE MERGER PRICING
TO PUBLIC MARKET TRANSACTIONS
Southard Financial compared the pricing terms of the Agreement to the pricing of
recent acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies across the United
States, and to the minority interest prices of publicly traded banks and bank
holding companies in the Southeast.
Pricing data for recent acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies
(nationwide and in Kentucky and in contiguous states) is summarized as follows:

CNBI 18.0 216.4 18.4 0.97 8.44 12.73
</TABLE>
/1/ Through June 30; only includes transactions for which sufficient data was
available
Based upon a purchase price of $19.03 million ($396.75 x 47,965 shares), the
merger of CNBI into ONB will take place at 18.0x 1994 CNBI earnings, 20.2x 1995
budgeted CNBI earnings, 272% of December 31, 1994 CNBI book value, and 216% of
June 30, 1995 CNBI book value. These multiples are all above recent market
multiples.
In determining the attractiveness of owning ONB stock, it is important to
examine ONB's recent pricing in comparison with recent pricing multiples for
publicly traded banks and bank holding companies. This pricing data is
presented below as of June 30, 1995.
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
/1/ As of June 30, 1995; subject to certain screens performed by
Southard Financial
Based upon an analysis of the data provided above, ONB's price/earnings
multiple, price/book value, and return on average equity are above those of
other publicly traded banks in its region, while the current dividend yield is
below the range.

OVERVIEW OF CITY NATIONAL BANCORP, INC.
City National Bancorp, Inc. is a one-bank holding company, incorporated in 1983,
whose primary asset is 100% of the common stock of The City National Bank of
Fulton in Fulton County, Kentucky ("CNB"). City National Bank was founded in
1897 as a state bank, and became a national bank in 1902. The Bank serves its
market area with two banking offices in Fulton, Kentucky: the main office, and a
depository branch (opened 1977). The Bank's mission is to be a full service
community bank providing quality financial services and products to a targeted
customer base, consistent with established profitability objectives and within
sound banking practices. The Bank's target deposit customers are those over 55.
City National Bank is located in Fulton, Kentucky, near the Kentucky/Tennessee
border. The market area encompasses portions of Fulton, Hickman, and Graves
counties in Kentucky, and Obion and Weakley counties in Tennessee. The Bank is
established in a very competitive marketplace. The competing institutions are:
Fulton Bank (total assets of about $50.2 million as of December 31, 1994); First
State Bank ($204.6 million); Security Trust (assets unknown); Citizens Bank in
Hickman ($40.1 million); and First National Bank in Clinton ($38.8 million).
The Fulton area economy is primarily dependent on the agricultural (corn,
soybeans, wheat) and manufacturing (automobile tires) industries. The largest
manufacturing employers in the area include Goodyear and General Tire, with each
having total employment of about 2,500. Other major local employers include
H.I.S. Sportswear, Excel Manufacturing, Uarco and Ligget Corporation. The
unemployment rate is 6.6% in Fulton County and 6.4% in the general trade area.
Per capita income of about $16,000. The population is 8,271 in Fulton and about
40,000 in the trade area.
CNB had total assets of $103.5 million at June 30, 1995, and equity of 8.44% of
assets, or slightly below peer averages. Total loans (net of unearned income)
were 38.23% of total assets at June 30, or well below peer averages. The
historical composition of CNB's balance sheet was fairly consistent.
CNB earned $1.065 million (1.30% of average assets) in 1992, $1.084 million
(1.25%) in 1993, $1.056 million (1.16%) in 1994, and $501 thousand (0.97%) in
the first half of 1995. Earnings are budgeted at $941 thousand in 1995, for an
ROAA of about 0.91%. CNB's loan loss provision was $60 thousand in 1994 (0.07%
of average assets), and is budgeted to be $60 thousand (0.06%) again in 1995.
Parent company assets, net of liabilities, are not significant ($63 thousand at
June 30, 1995). As of June 30, 1995, reported book value of the holding company
was $8.792 million, or $183.30 per share for the 47,965 shares outstanding.
Earnings were $22.01 per share in 1994, $21.78 per share in 1993, and $23.34 per
share in 1992. Earnings are budgeted to be about $19.60 per share in 1995.
Dividends of $2.00 per share were paid in 1993 and 1994, but no dividends had
been paid prior to 1993.
Senior management consists of L. M. McBride, 70, Chairman, and Kenneth E. Crews,
60, President and CEO. Both men have over 33 years of service with the Bank.
Further details on CNBI and CNB are documented in Southard Financial's files.

EXHIBIT 7
OVERVIEW OF OLD NATIONAL BANCORP
Old National Bancorp is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in
Evansville, Indiana. Its 21 affiliate banks conduct business in 106 office
locations throughout Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. The banks provide a wide
range of financial services, such as: making commercial and consumer loans;
originating, marketing and servicing mortgage loans; issuing and servicing
credit cards; leasing; offering a wide range of deposit products; issuing
letters of credit, issuing credit life, accident and health and property and
casualty insurance; providing trust services for personal and corporate
customers; providing safe deposit facilities; and providing alternative
investments and brokerage services. ONB also has six non-bank affiliates which
provide services incidental to ONB's operations including data processing,
investments, trust, and property ownership.
During 1993, ONB completed mergers with: Dubois County Bank, Jasper, Indiana;
and Bank South Federal Savings Bank, Harrisburg, Illinois. During 1994, ONB
consummated mergers with: Citizens Union Bank, Central City, Kentucky; Orange
County Bank, Paoli, Indiana; Indiana State Bank, Terre Haute, Indiana; and Bank
of Western Indiana, Covington, Indiana. During the first six months of 1995,
consummated mergers with: Oblong Bancshares, Inc., Oblong, Illinois; and
Citizens National Bank Corporation, Tell City, Indiana. Further, ONB has
pending merger agreements with First United Savings Bank, Greencastle, Indiana;
and Shawnee Bancorp, Harrisburg, Illinois, both of which are expected to close
in late 1995. All of these transactions were or will be accounted for as
pooling of interests.
ONB earned $2.06 per share in 1993 ($1.99 fully diluted), $2.08 per share in
1994 ($2.01 fully diluted), and $1.05 per share in the first half of 1995 ($1.02
fully diluted). The consensus earnings estimate for 1995 is about $2.25 per
share, or 8.2% above 1994 earnings. Earnings per share increased in each year
since 1989. Profitability has been very consistent in recent years. Return on
average assets was 1.11% in the first half of 1995, 1.14% in 1994, 1.16% in
1993, and 1.15% in 1992, while return on average equity was 12.44% in the first
half of 1995, 12.65% in 1994, 13.33% in 1993, and $13.34% in 1992. Dividends of
$0.88 per share in 1994 were 15.8% above 1993 dividends of $0.76 per share. ONB
paid dividends of $0.46 per share in the first half of 1995. Per share
dividends increased each year since 1989. At June 30, 1995, the dividend yield
was 2.68%. Further, a 5% stock dividend was distributed in January 1995.
ONB has outstanding $31.5 million of 8% convertible subordinated debentures
which are due September 15, 2012, unless previously converted or redeemed. The
debentures are convertible at 42.517 shares of ONB stock for each $1 thousand of
principal, and are redeemable at a premium to par at ONB's option.
Total shareholders' equity was 8.81% of total assets as of December 31, 1994 and
8.91% at June 30, 1995. Book value per share increased from $16.12 at year-end
1993 to $16.71 at year-end 1994 and to $17.13 at June 30, 1995. Loans
represented 61.68% of total assets at year-end and 63.46% at June 30, 1995. The
quality of the loan portfolio improved in recent years, as net charge-offs
decreased from a high of 0.55% of average loans in 1990 to 0.25% in 1994, and to
0.08% in the first half of 1995.
In all, ONB is in good financial condition. More details on ONB are contained
in Southard Financial's file.
