SUMMARY

    This brief summary does not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire document and the other documents to which this document refers you to fully understand the merger. See "Where You Can Find More Information."

The Merger

    We propose a merger in which First Affiliated Bancorp, Inc. ("FAB") will be acquired by Indiana United Bancorp ("IUB"). In this merger, FAB will merge with a subsidiary of IUB and FAB shareholders will become shareholders of IUB. We expect to complete the merger by April 28, 2000.

    We have attached the merger agreement to this document as Appendix A. Please read the merger agreement. It is the legal document that governs the merger.

Each FAB Share will be Exchanged for IUB Shares (page   ).

    When we complete the merger, each of your shares of FAB will automatically become the right to receive common shares of IUB. As a FAB shareholder, each of your shares of FAB common stock will automatically become the right to receive a fixed exchange ratio of 4.4167 common shares of IUB.

    Because the number of IUB common shares that you will receive in the merger is fixed, subject to adjustments that will not alter the economic value of the exchange ratio, the value of the IUB common shares you will receive in the merger will fluctuate as the price of IUB common shares changes.

    You will have to surrender your FAB common stock certificates to receive new certificates representing common shares of IUB. This will not be necessary, however, until you receive written instructions after we complete the merger.

Transaction Generally Tax-Free for FAB Shareholders (page   ).

    IUB has received an opinion of their independent certified public accountants dated the date of this document regarding the tax consequences of the merger. The information below is based on that opinion.

    We expect that your exchange of shares of FAB common stock for common shares of IUB generally will not cause you to recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You will, however, have to recognize income or gain in connection with any cash received instead of fractional shares.

    This tax treatment may not apply to all FAB shareholders. Determining the actual tax consequences of the merger to you can be complicated. They will depend on your specific situation and on variables not within our control. You should consult your own tax advisor for a full understanding of the merger's tax consequences to you.

    We will not be obligated to complete the merger unless we receive additional opinions from our outside accountants, dated the closing date, that the merger will be treated as a transaction of a type that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In that case, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the merger should be as we have described it above. These opinions will not bind the Internal Revenue Service, however, which could take a different view.

Comparative Per Share Market Price Information (page   ).

    IUB common shares trade on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "IUBC." FAB common stock does not trade in any established market and trading is infrequent. Some examples of recent closing prices for IUB common shares are as follows:

November 4, 1999   $ 19
February 28, 2000   $ 17.34
March 21, 2000   $ 16.50

    Based on the 4.4167 exchange ratio in the merger and the market value of IUB shares on these dates, the market value of the consideration that FAB shareholders would receive in the merger for each share of FAB common share would be:

November 4, 1999   $ 83.91
February 28, 2000   $ 76.58
March 21, 2000   $ 72.87

    Of course, the market price of IUB common shares will fluctuate prior to the merger. You should obtain current stock price quotations for IUB common shares. You can get these quotations from a newspaper, on the Internet or by calling your broker.

    Since January 1, 1998, only approximately 12,135 shares of FAB, or approximately 5% of FAB's outstanding shares, have traded in 15 transactions of which management is aware. The FAB shares traded in the range of $38.07 to $58.43 per share. We may not know about other trades of FAB shares that may have occurred at different prices.

    In addition, recently declared per share dividend information for IUB common shares and FAB common stock is as follows:

 
  IUB
  FAB
3rd Quarter 1999   $ .16   $ 1.00
4th Quarter 1999   $ .16   $ .30
1st Quarter 2000   $ .16   $ .30
(through March 21)            

FAB Shareholders Have Appraisal Rights (page  ).

    You have dissenters' rights established by Illinois law that allow you to receive cash for your FAB shares. To exercise these rights, you must follow certain procedures, including filing certain notices and not voting your shares in favor of the merger. You will not receive any IUB shares if you dissent and follow the required procedures. Instead, you will only receive cash for your shares.

    The relevant sections of Illinois law governing this process are attached to this document as Appendix C. See "RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS." If holders of more than 8.6% of the FAB shares, by exercising dissenters' rights or otherwise, receive cash instead of IUB shares, the merger will not qualify for the method of accounting expected and the merger will not occur.

The Companies (page   ).

IUB

Indiana United Bancorp
201 N. Broadway
Greensburg, Indiana 47240
(812) 663-0157

    IUB is a community focused financial services holding company primarily engaged in consumer, small business and corporate banking in eastern and southeastern Indiana. IUB also acts as agent in the sale of numerous insurance products.

    IUB's principal banking subsidiaries are Union Bank and Trust Company of Indiana, Greensburg, Indiana, Peoples Trust Company, Brookville, Indiana, and Regional Federal Savings Bank, New Albany, Indiana. IUB's insurance agency subsidiary is The Insurance Group, Greensburg, Indiana.

    At September 30, 1999, IUB's total assets on a consolidated basis were $937.4 million, its total deposits were $803.4 million and its consolidated shareholders' equity was $59.8 million.

FAB

First Affiliated Bancorp, Inc.
216 S. Fourth Street
Watseka, Illinois 60970
(815) 432-3977

    FAB is a bank holding company engaged in consumer, small business and corporate banking in northeastern Illinois. FAB's only subsidiary is Capstone Bank, N.A., headquartered in Watseka, Illinois. Capstone Bank maintains five offices in Watseka, Crescent City, Kankakee and Bourbonnais, Illinois and Goodland, Indiana.

    At September 30, 1999, FAB's total assets on a consolidated basis were $131.1 million, its total deposits were $115.7 million and its consolidated total shareholders' equity was $9 million.

The FAB Shareholder's Meeting (page      ).

    The FAB special meeting will be held on April 28, 2000 at 10:30 a.m., local time, at FAB and Capstone Bank's main office at 216 S. Fourth Street, Watseka, Illinois. At the FAB special meeting, you will be asked:

1.
to approve the merger of FAB with a subsidiary of IUB; and

2.
to act on other matters that may properly be submitted to a vote at the FAB special meeting.

Record Date; Vote Required (page       ).

    You can vote at the FAB special meeting if you owned FAB common shares at the close of business on February 29, 2000. On that date, there were 226,662 shares of FAB common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. You can cast one vote for each share of FAB common stock you owned on that date. In order to approve the merger, the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of FAB common stock must vote in favor of doing so.

    As of the FAB record date, directors and executive officers of FAB and their families owned approximately 164,651 shares of FAB common stock, entitling them to exercise approximately 72.6% of the voting power of the FAB common stock entitled to vote at the FAB special meeting. On the basis of the unanimous approval of the merger agreement by the FAB Board and voting agreements that each FAB director and executive officer signed with IUB at the time the merger agreement was signed, we currently expect that each director and executive officer of FAB and his family members will vote the shares of FAB common stock owned by him for approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

We Recommend That Shareholders Approve the Merger (page   ).

    The FAB Board of Directors believes that the merger is fair to you and in your best interests, and unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the proposal to approve the merger.

Our Reasons for the Merger (page       ).

    The FAB Board believes that the merger presents the best opportunity for FAB shareholders to benefit from their historical investment in FAB. The merger provides the greatest value per share when compared against the other proposals submitted to acquire FAB. The merger also provides greater value than what FAB shareholders would likely receive in the foreseeable future if FAB remained independent and was not acquired.

Conditions to Completion of the Merger (page   ).

    The completion of the merger depends on a number of conditions being met, including approval of the merger agreement by FAB shareholders and receipt of regulatory approvals.

    Where the law permits, a party to the merger agreement could elect to waive a condition to its obligation to complete the merger although that condition has not been satisfied. We cannot be certain when (or if) the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived or that the merger will be completed.

We May Decide Not to Complete the Merger (page  ).

    We can agree at any time not to complete the merger and each of us may decide not to complete the merger in a number of other situations, including:


    FAB can decide not to complete the merger if the average price of IUB shares for the 5 trading days before the merger is below $16.

We May Amend the Terms of the Merger and Waive Some Conditions (page   ).

    We may jointly amend the terms of the merger, and each of us may waive our right to require the other party to adhere to those terms, to the extent legally permissible. However, after our shareholders approve the merger, they must approve any amendment or waiver that reduces or changes the consideration that will be received by them.

We Expect Pooling of Interests Accounting Treatment (page       ).

    We expect the merger to qualify as a pooling of interests. This means that, for accounting and financial reporting purposes, we will treat our companies as if they had always been one. We will not be required to complete the merger unless we receive a letter from our respective independent accountants telling us that the merger will qualify as a pooling of interests.

    We May Not Complete the Merger without Required Regulatory Approvals (page       ). We cannot complete the merger unless it is approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The U.S. Department of Justice has input into this approval process. Once the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System approves the merger, we have to wait for up to 30 days before we can complete the merger.

    IUB has filed the required application and notice with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

    As of the date of this document, IUB has not yet received the required approval. While IUB does not know of any reason why it would not be able to obtain the necessary approval in a timely manner, it cannot be certain when or if it will get it.

    Officers and Directors Have Some Interests in the Merger that Are Different From or in Addition to Their Interests as Shareholders (page   ).

    Some of the FAB directors and officers have interests in the merger that are different from, or in addition to, their interests as shareholders in FAB. These interests exist because of employment agreements that the officers will enter into with IUB and rights that the officers and directors have under applicable benefit and compensation plans maintained by FAB.

    Also, following the merger, IUB will indemnify, and provide directors' and officers' insurance for, the officers and directors of FAB for events occurring before the merger, including events that are related to the merger.

    The members of the FAB Board of Directors knew about these additional interests, and considered them, when they approved the merger.

Unaudited Comparative Per Share Data

    The following table shows historical information about our net income per share, cash dividends per share and book value per share, and similar information reflecting the merger, which we refer to as pro forma information. In presenting the comparative pro forma information for the time periods shown in the table, we assumed that FAB had been acquired by IUB and was a subsidiary of IUB throughout these periods. See "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information", for further discussion of the assumptions used in the pro forma information.

    We also assumed that we will treat our companies as if they had always been combined for accounting and financial reporting purposes, a method known as pooling of interests accounting. The information listed as equivalent pro forma was obtained by multiplying the pro forma amounts by the exchange ratio of 4.4167. We present equivalent pro forma information to reflect the fact that FAB shareholders will receive more than one share of IUB for each share of FAB exchanged in the merger.

    We expect that we will incur merger expenses as a result of combining our companies. Expected merger expenses of $575,000 are included in pro forma and equivalent pro forma book value per share amounts, but these nonrecurring expenses are excluded from pro forma and equivalent pro forma net income per share amounts. We also anticipate that the merger will provide IUB with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses and enhanced opportunities to earn more revenue. The pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of IUB under one set of assumptions after its acquisition of FAB, does not reflect these anticipated financial benefits and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

    The information in the following table is based on the historical financial information that is presented by FAB beginning on page F-1 and by IUB in prior Securities and Exchange Commission filings. IUB is incorporating this material into this document by reference. See "Where You Can Find More Information".

(1)
The IUB/FAB pro forma information reflects IUB's historical common shares outstanding and IUB's historical basic and diluted equivalent shares adjusted for the exchange of IUB common shares in connection with the merger at the exchange ratio of 4.4167 IUB common shares for each share of FAB common stock. IUB/FAB pro forma diluted net income per share and book value per share assume 17,911 shares issued to redeem FAB stock options outstanding in applicable periods, based on an assumed market price of $17 per share of IUB. See "The Merger—Treatment of Options."

(2)
The IUB/FAB pro forma dividends per share represent IUB's historical dividends per share, because the merger is not expected to have a significant effect on IUB's dividend policy.

(3)
The IUB/FAB equivalent proforma per share amounts are calculated by multiplying the IUB/FAB pro forma information described in note (1) by the 4.4167 exchange ratio.

IUB Recent Financial Developments

    IUB reported a 6.9% increase in net income for the fourth quarter of 1999 compared to the fourth quarter of 1998. Fourth quarter earnings totaled $1,930,000 versus $1,806,000 for the same period in 1998. Earnings per share increased $.02, or 5.3%. For the 1999 year, earnings were $7,082,000, an increase of 9.8% compared to $6,448,000 in 1998. Fully diluted earnings per share were $1.47 in 1999 compared to $1.35 in 1998, an increase of 8.9%.

    Total assets increased $151 million from December 31, 1998 to December 31, 1999. Gross loans increased $104 million, or 19.3%. These increases are primarily attributable to the purchase of branches and the opening of two new branches.

Selected Financial Data

    The following tables show selected historical financial data for each of us and also show similar pro forma information reflecting the merger. The pro forma information reflects the pooling of interests method of accounting.

    IUB expects that it will incur merger expenses as a result of acquiring FAB. Expected merger expenses of $575,000 are included in pro forma book value and balance sheet data, but these nonrecurring expenses are excluded from pro forma results of operations and earnings per share data. IUB also anticipates that the merger will provide IUB with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses at FAB and enhanced opportunities to earn more revenue. The pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of IUB following the merger under one set of assumptions, does not reflect these financial expenses or benefits and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results.

    The information about us in the following tables is based on FAB historical financial information presented by FAB beginning on page F-1 and IUB historical financial information that IUB has presented in prior Securities and Exchange Commission filings. You should read all of the summary financial information provided in the following tables together with this historical financial information and with the more detailed pro forma financial information we provide in this document, which you can find beginning at page   . The IUB historical financial information is incorporated into this document by reference. See "Where You Can Find More Information".

FAB SPECIAL MEETING

    This document is first being mailed by FAB to the holders of FAB common stock on or about March 29, 2000, and is accompanied by the notice of FAB for use at the FAB special meeting, to be held on Friday, April 28, 2000, at 10:30 A.M., local time, at FAB and Capstone Bank's main office at 216 S. Fourth Street, Watseka, Illinois, and at any adjournments or postponements of that meeting.

Matters to be Considered

    The purpose of the FAB special meeting is to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by that agreement, including the merger, and any other matters that may be properly submitted to a vote at the FAB special meeting. FAB shareholders may also be asked to vote upon a proposal to adjourn or postpone the FAB special meeting. FAB could use any adjournment or postponement of the FAB special meeting for the purpose, among others, of allowing additional time for soliciting additional votes to approve the merger agreement.

Proxies

    The accompanying form of proxy is for your use at the FAB special meeting if you are unable or do not wish to attend in person. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by submitting to the Secretary of FAB written notice of revocation, a properly executed proxy having a later date, or by attending the FAB special meeting and electing to vote in person. Written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to the revocation of FAB proxies should be addressed to First Affiliated Bancorp, Inc, 216 S. Fourth Street, Watseka, Illinois 60970 Attn: Luke W. Montgomery, Secretary. All shares represented by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation, and not revoked before they are exercised, will be voted in the manner specified in those proxies. If you make no specification, your proxy will be voted in favor of approval of the merger agreement.

    The FAB Board is unaware of any other matters that may be presented for action at the FAB special meeting. If other matters do properly come before the FAB special meeting, however, the shares represented by proxies in the accompanying form will be voted, or not voted, in the discretion of the persons named in the proxies. No proxy that is voted against approval of the merger agreement will be voted in favor of any adjournment or postponement of the FAB special meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies.

Solicitation of Proxies

    FAB will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies from FAB shareholders, except that each of IUB and FAB has agreed to pay one-half of the printing and mailing costs of this Proxy Statement-Prospectus and related proxy materials. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, FAB will request that banks, brokers and other record holders send proxies and proxy material to the beneficial owners of shares held by them and secure their voting instructions, if necessary. FAB will reimburse those record holders for their reasonable expenses in so doing. If necessary, FAB may also use regular employees of Capstone Bank, who will not be specially compensated, to solicit proxies from FAB shareholders, either personally or by telephone, telegram, facsimile or special delivery letter.

Record Date and Voting Rights

    In accordance with the provisions of the Illinois Business Corporation Act and the FAB bylaws, FAB has fixed February 29, 2000 as the record date for determining those FAB shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the FAB special meeting. Accordingly, only FAB shareholders of record at the close of business on the FAB record date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the FAB special meeting. At the close of business on the FAB record date, there were 226,662 shares of FAB common stock outstanding held by approximately 75 holders of record. The presence, in person or by proxy, of shares of FAB common stock representing a majority of those shares outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date is necessary to constitute a quorum at the FAB special meeting. Each share of FAB common stock outstanding on the FAB record date entitles its holder to one vote.

    Shares of FAB common stock held by persons attending the FAB special meeting but not voting, and shares of FAB common stock for which FAB has received proxies but with respect to which holders of those shares have abstained from voting, will be counted as present at the FAB special meeting for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the FAB special meeting. Brokers who hold shares of FAB common stock in nominee or street name for customers who are the beneficial owners of those shares are prohibited from giving a proxy to vote shares held for those customers on matters to be considered and voted upon at the FAB special meeting without specific instructions from those customers. These so-called "broker non-votes" will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

    Under the Illinois Business Corporation Act and the FAB articles of incorporation, approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of FAB common stock entitled to vote at the FAB special meeting.

    Because approval of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of FAB common stock entitled to vote at the FAB special meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against approval of the merger agreement. Accordingly, the FAB Board urges FAB shareholders to complete, date and sign the accompanying proxy and return it promptly in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope.

    As of the FAB record date, directors and executive officers of FAB and their families owned approximately 164,651 shares of FAB common stock, entitling them to exercise approximately 72.6% of the voting power of the FAB common stock entitled to vote at the FAB special meeting. On the basis of the unanimous approval of the merger agreement by the FAB Board and voting agreements that each FAB director and executive officer signed with IUB at the time the merger agreement was signed, we currently expect that each director and executive officer of FAB and his family members will vote the shares of FAB common stock owned by him for approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Recommendation of FAB Board

    The FAB Board has unanimously approved the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. The FAB Board believes that the merger agreement is in the best interests of FAB and FAB shareholders and recommends that the FAB shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the merger agreement. See "The Merger—Recommendation of the FAB Board and Reasons for the Merger."

THE MERGER

    The following summary of material terms and provisions of the merger agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the merger agreement, dated as of November 5, 1999, among IUB, a newly formed subsidiary of IUB named FAB Merger Corporation and FAB. The merger agreement is attached as Appendix A to this document.

General

    The FAB Board and the IUB Board each have unanimously approved the merger agreement, which provides for the merger. We expect to complete the merger on April 28, 2000. FAB will become a wholly owned subsidiary of IUB in the merger. With certain limited exceptions described below, each share of FAB common stock issued and outstanding at the effected time of the merger will be converted into the right to receive 4.4167 common shares of IUB. This section of this document describes the material terms of the merger agreement and matters leading up to its signing.

Background of the Merger

    FAB's Board of Directors has considered various strategic options under a planning process begun in 1996. The Board considered the possibility of acquiring other community banks, selling FAB and remaining independent. The Board viewed staying independent, without growth from an acquisition of another community bank, as difficult because of increasing competition and regulation of the financial services industry. During 1997, FAB considered the acquisition of other community banks in Illinois and Indiana. At that time, the reported prices being paid by other acquirers for community banks became, in the FAB Board's opinion, too high and more favorable to sellers than buyers. Consequently, the Board determined not to acquire another community bank and instead decided to explore the sale of FAB through a competitive bidding process.

    FAB retained Alex Sheshunoff & Co. Investment Banking LP ("Sheshunoff") in May,1998 to be its exclusive financial advisor in exploring the sale of FAB. Sheshunoff distributed a book of information about FAB to 30 potential acquirers that indicated interest in FAB. At this point, IUB had not been contacted by Sheshunoff. One potential acquirer submitted a bid in August, 1998 that the Board reviewed and declined to accept. The bid offered common shares in a publicly held regional bank holding company in Indiana that, based on then market values, involved consideration in an amount generally acceptable to the FAB Board. However, because the shares of this acquirer traded at a high multiple of price to earnings, the FAB Board regarded the value per share offered as too uncertain. The Board did not receive any other bids to acquire FAB.

    In May, 1999, the FAB Board again asked Sheshunoff to solicit additional bids. Sheshunoff distributed an updated book of information about FAB to over 150 potential acquirers, including IUB. IUB and two other potential acquirers submitted bids. IUB was the only potential acquirer to propose a tax-free exchange involving publicly traded shares. The other two bids were for cash. One of the cash bids offered $58.80 a share and was immediately deemed inadequate and rejected. The other cash bid offered $75.60 a share in a transaction taxable to FAB shareholders.

    The FAB Board evaluated with Sheshunoff the IUB bid and the remaining cash bid. The Board compared the suitability of each as a potential acquirer against the value of FAB to its shareholders if no transaction occurred. The Board considered the per share value of each bid, whether this value would be paid in cash or stock and, because IUB's bid offered stock, the market performance, liquidity and multiple of price to earnings of the IUB shares. The Board also considered each bidder's experience in rural, community markets like those served by FAB. The Board reviewed the banking products and services offered by each. The Board also considered each bidder's reputation for treating employees of other banks that the bidder had purchased previously.

    On November 5, 1999, IUB and FAB entered into a merger agreement which provided that the exchange ratio would be 4.4167 shares of IUB for each share of FAB if the average price of IUB shares for the 20 trading days before the merger were to be between $20 and $22.50. If the average price were to be below $20, the exchange ratio would be calculated so that FAB shareholders would receive IUB shares having an aggregate value of $20, 021,961, based on the average price for IUB shares for the 20-day period. If the average price were to be above $22.50, FAB shareholders would receive IUB shares having an aggregate value of $22,547,565, based on the average price for IUB shares. The merger agreement also provided that either IUB or FAB could walk away from the merger if the average price of IUB shares fell below $18.50 or went above $24 for the 20-day period before the merger.

    On January 26, 2000 the chief executive officers of FAB and IUB and advisors to IUB met to work on this document. Prior to then, on several occasions, the market price for an IUB share had fallen below $18.50. IUB informed FAB that it would probably not complete the merger and would exercise its right to terminate the merger agreement if the average price for the 20-day period were to be below $18.50. IUB and FAB held further discussions which lead to an amendment to the merger agreement on February 29, 2000. IUB and FAB agreed to fix the exchange ratio at 4.4167. They also agreed that FAB would have the right to walk away from the merger if the average price of IUB shares fell below $16 for the 5 trading days before the merger. The merger agreement was amended and restated on February 29, 2000 to reflect these changes.

    If the average price of a share of IUB is less than $16 for the 5-day period before the merger, the FAB Board will not complete the merger without bringing the matter to the FAB shareholders for a vote.

Recommendation of the FAB Board and Reasons for the Merger

    The FAB Board believes that the merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, FAB and FAB shareholders. Accordingly, the FAB Board has unanimously approved the merger agreement and unanimously recommends that FAB shareholders vote "FOR" approval of the merger agreement.

    The FAB Board believes that the merger presents the best opportunity for FAB shareholders to benefit from their historical investment in FAB. The FAB Board believes that FAB shareholders will be receiving greater economic value in the merger than what the other potential acquirers offered to pay and greater economic value than what FAB shareholders would likely receive in the foreseeable future if FAB were not acquired.

    In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, and later the merger agreement as amended and restated, the FAB Board consulted with management of FAB, Sheshunoff and its legal advisors, and considered a variety of factors, including the following:


    This discussion of the information and factors considered by the FAB Board is not intended to be exhaustive but includes all material factors considered by the FAB Board. In reaching its determination to approve and recommend the merger, the FAB Board did not assign any relative or specific weights to those factors, and individual directors may have given differing weights to different factors. The FAB Board is unanimous in its recommendation that FAB shareholders vote for approval of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

Opinion of FAB's Financial Advisor

    FAB retained Sheshunoff to provide its opinion of the fairness from a financial viewpoint of the merger consideration to be received by the shareholders of FAB in connection with the Merger with FAB Merger Corporation, a corporation effectively controlled by IUB. As part of its investment banking business, Sheshunoff is regularly engaged in the valuation of securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes. The Board of Directors of FAB retained Sheshunoff based upon its experience as a financial advisor in mergers and acquisitions of financial institutions and its knowledge of financial institutions.

    In mid-July, 1999, Sheshunoff rendered its oral opinion that the merger consideration was fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders of FAB. Sheshunoff rendered its written fairness opinion as of November 19, 1999. Sheshunoff updated its fairness opinion as of February 29, 2000 in connection with the execution of the amended and restated merger agreement.

    The full text of the fairness opinion dated February 29, 2000, which sets forth, among other things, assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and limitations on the review undertaken, is attached as Appendix B to this document. Shareholders of FAB are urged to read Sheshunoff's fairness opinion carefully and in its entirety. The fairness opinion is addressed to the Board of Directors of FAB and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder of FAB as to how such shareholder should vote at the FAB special meeting. In connection with the fairness opinion, Sheshunoff:


    In connection with its review, Sheshunoff relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all of the information provided it or made publicly available. Sheshunoff did not assume any responsibility for independent verification of such information. Sheshunoff assumed that internal confidential financial projections provided by FAB were reasonably prepared reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the future financial performance of FAB and did not independently verify the validity of such assumptions. Sheshunoff did not make any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of FAB nor was Sheshunoff furnished with any such appraisals. Sheshunoff did not examine any individual loan files of FAB. Sheshunoff is not an expert in the evaluation of loan portfolios for the purposes of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for losses with respect thereto and has assumed that such allowance is, in the aggregate, adequate to cover such losses.

    With respect to IUB, Sheshunoff did not conduct any independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets, liabilities or business prospects of IUB, was not furnished with any evaluations or appraisals, and did not review any individual loan files of IUB.

    The fairness opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Sheshunoff as of February 29, 2000.

    In rendering the fairness opinion, Sheshunoff performed a variety of financial analyses. The preparation of an opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Consequently, the fairness opinion is not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Moreover, the evaluation of fairness, from a financial point of view, of the merger consideration is to some extent subjective, based on the experience and judgment of Sheshunoff, and not merely the result of mathematical analysis of financial data. Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors summarized below, Sheshunoff believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. The ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis described below should not be taken to be Sheshunoff's view of the actual value of FAB.

    In performing its analyses, Sheshunoff made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business, and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of FAB. The analyses performed by Sheshunoff are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses, nor are they appraisals. In addition, Sheshunoff's analyses should not be viewed as determinative of the opinion of the Board of Directors or the management of FAB with respect to the value of FAB.

    The following is a summary of the analyses performed by Sheshunoff in connection with its opinion dated as of February 29, 2000. The following discussion contains financial information concerning FAB and IUB as of September 30, 1999 and market information as of February 29, 2000.

    Analysis of Selected Transactions.  Sheshunoff performed an analysis of premiums paid in selected pending or recently completed acquisitions of banking organizations in Illinois and in the Midwestern United States with comparable characteristics to the merger. Two sets of comparable transactions were analyzed to ensure a thorough comparison.

    The first set of comparable transactions consisted of a group of comparable transactions based upon the geographical market area of Illinois for which pricing data were available. These comparable transactions consisted of 21 mergers and acquisitions of banks located in Illinois with assets of less than $200 million which were announced or completed between January 1, 1998 and February 29, 2000. The analysis yielded multiples of the purchase price in these transactions relative to:

    The second set of comparable transactions consisted of a group of comparable transactions based upon the profitability, asset size and geographical market area of FAB for which pricing data were available. These comparable transactions specifically consisted of 144 mergers and acquisitions of banks in the Midwest with total assets of less than $200 million and which were announced or completed between January 1, 1998 and February 29, 2000. The analysis yielded multiples of the purchase price in these transactions relative to:

    Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.  Using discounted cash flow analysis, Sheshunoff estimated the present value of the future after-tax cash flow streams that FAB could produce through the year 2004, under various circumstances, assuming that it performed in accordance with the earnings/return projections provided by management.

    Sheshunoff estimated the terminal value for FAB at the end of 2004 by capitalizing the final period projected earnings by the quotient of (i) the assumed annual growth rate of the earnings of FAB plus one and (ii) the difference between a range of required rates of return and the assumed annual growth rate of earnings in (i) above. This produced a range of terminal values per share of $61 to $93. Sheshunoff then discounted the annual cash flow streams (defined as all earnings in excess of that required to maintain a tangible equity to asset ratio of 6.0%) and the terminal values using discount rates ranging from 12% to 16%. The discount range was chosen to reflect different assumptions regarding the required rates of return of FAB and the inherent risk surrounding the underlying projections. This discounted cash flow analysis indicated a range of values per share of $61 to $93, compared to the value per share of the merger consideration to FAB shareholders of $77.29 as of February 29, 2000.

    Comparable Company Analysis.  Sheshunoff compared selected stock market results of IUB to the publicly available corresponding data of other composites which Sheshunoff deemed to be relevant, including SNL Securities, L.P.'s (i) index of all publicly traded banks and (ii) the SNL index of banks with assets $1 Billion to $5 Billion and the S&P 500. Although IUB's common stock price has exhibited some recent weakness relative to the selected indices, this weakness in itself is not material to the fairness from a financial point of view of the merger consideration to be received by shareholders of FAB as of the date of the Fairness opinion.

    No company or transaction used in the comparable company and comparable transaction analyses is identical to FAB, IUB, or the merger. Accordingly, an analysis of the results of the foregoing necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of FAB and IUB and other factors that could affect the public trading value of the companies to which they are being compared. Mathematical analysis (such as determining the average or median) is not in itself a meaningful method of using comparable transaction data or comparable company data.

    Pursuant to an engagement letter dated May 6, 1998, between Capstone Bank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of FAB, and Sheshunoff, Capstone Bank agreed to pay Sheshunoff a retainer fee of $5,000 and a transaction fee calculated as follows:

Consideration Amount

  Transaction Fee
Less than $25 million   1.00% of merger consideration
Equal to or greater than $25 million, but   1.25% of merger consideration
less than $29 million    
Equal to or greater than $29 million, but   1.5% of merger consideration
less than $32 million    
Equal to or greater than $32 million   1.75% of merger consideration

    FAB also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Sheshunoff and its officers and employees against certain liabilities in connection with its services under the engagement letters, except for liabilities resulting from the negligence, violation of law or regulation or bad faith of Sheshunoff or any matter for which Sheshunoff may have strict liability.

    The fairness opinion is directed only to the question of whether the merger consideration is from a financial perspective and does not constitute a recommendation to any FAB shareholder to vote in favor of the merger. No limitations were imposed on Sheshunoff regarding the scope of its investigation or otherwise by FAB.

    Based on the results of the various analyses described above, Sheshunoff concluded that the merger consideration to be received by FAB shareholders pursuant to the merger is fair from a financial point of view.

Conversion of Stock

    At the effective time, each share of FAB common stock outstanding, other than the shares described in the following paragraph, will be converted into the right to receive 4.4167 common shares of IUB, subject to customary antidilution adjustments as provided in the merger agreement.

    Shares of FAB common stock held by FAB or IUB or any subsidiary of either company will not be converted into the right to receive IUB shares, except for shares held, directly or indirectly, in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like, or otherwise held in a fiduciary capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties ("trust account shares") or in respect of a debt previously contracted ("DPC"). Shares of FAB common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time, the holders of which delivered to FAB a written demand for the payment of the fair value of their shares in the manner provided in the Illinois Business Corporation Act, also will not be converted into the right to receive IUB Shares.

    Each outstanding share of FAB common stock owned by FAB or its subsidiary or IUB or its subsidiaries, other than trust account shares or DPC shares, or by FAB as treasury stock will be canceled at the effective time and will cease to exist. No IUB shares or other consideration will be delivered in exchange for these canceled shares.

Treatment of Options

    Each stock option to acquire FAB common stock outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time will be automatically converted at the effective time into the right to receive a "net" number of IUB common shares that is equal to the difference between the number of IUB shares that the holder of the option would have received in the merger had the option been exercised before the merger, and that number of IUB shares that have a value, based on the average price for IUB shares during the 5 trading days before the merger, equal to the option's exercise price.

Exchange of Certificates; Fractional Shares

    At or prior to the effective time, IUB will deposit with a bank or another entity reasonably acceptable to both IUB and FAB certificates representing the common shares of IUB and cash in lieu of any fractional shares to be issued pursuant to the merger agreement. That bank or entity will act as the exchange agent for the benefit of the holders of certificates of FAB common stock.

    As soon as practicable after the effective time, a form of transmittal letter will be mailed by the exchange agent to FAB shareholders. This transmittal letter will contain instructions with respect to the surrender of certificates representing FAB common stock.

    You should not return your FAB common stock certificates with the enclosed proxy and should not forward them to the exchange agent until you receive a letter of transmittal following the effective time.

    Until you surrender your FAB stock certificates for exchange after the effective time, you will accrue but will not be paid dividends or other distributions declared after the effective time with respect to IUB common shares into which your FAB shares have been converted. When you surrender your certificates, IUB will pay to you any unpaid dividends or other distributions, without interest. After the effective time, there will be no transfers on the stock transfer books of FAB of shares of FAB common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time. If certificates representing shares of FAB common stock are presented after the effective time, they will be canceled and exchanged for a certificate representing the applicable number of IUB common shares.

    No fractional shares of IUB will be issued to you upon consummation of the merger. The exchange agent will bundle together all fractional interests, collectively representing a whole number of shares, and sell them in the over-the-counter market through a market maker for IUB shares. The net proceeds will be distributed among the former holders of the fractional shares in proportion to their respective ownership of the fractional shares. No interest will be paid or accrued on cash payable to you in lieu of fractional shares.

    None of IUB, FAB or any other person will be liable to any former holder of FAB common stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

    If a certificate for FAB common stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed, the exchange agent will issue the consideration properly payable under the merger agreement upon receipt of appropriate evidence as to that loss, theft or destruction, appropriate evidence as to the ownership of that certificate by the claimant, and appropriate and customary indemnification.

    For a description of IUB common shares and a description of the differences between the rights of the holders of FAB common stock, on the one hand, and holders of IUB common shares, on the other hand, see "Description of IUB Capital Stock" and "Comparison of Shareholders' Rights."

Effective Time

    The effective time of the merger will be the time and date set forth in the articles of merger that will be filed with each of the Secretary of State of the State of Illinois and the Secretary of State of Indiana on the closing date of the merger. The closing date will occur on a date to be specified by the parties. Subject to applicable law, this date will be no later than five business days after the satisfaction or waiver of the latest to occur of the conditions precedent to the merger set forth in the merger agreement. IUB and FAB each anticipate that the merger will be consummated on April 28, 2000. However, consummation of the merger could be delayed if there is a delay in obtaining the required regulatory approvals or in satisfying other conditions to the merger. There can be no assurances as to whether, and on what date, IUB and FAB will obtain those approvals or that IUB and FAB will consummate the merger. If the merger is not completed on or before May 31, 2000, either IUB or FAB may terminate the agreement, unless the failure to effect the merger by that date is due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of that party set forth in the merger agreement. See "—Conditions to Consummation of the Merger" and "—Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger."

Representations and Warranties

    The merger agreement contains representations and warranties of FAB as to, among other things:


    The merger agreement contains representations and warranties of IUB as to, among other things:


Conduct of Business Pending the Merger

    Prior to the effective time, FAB has agreed to, and to cause Capstone Bank to:


    In addition, except as expressly contemplated by the merger agreement, FAB has agreed that, without the consent of IUB, it and Capstone Bank will not, among other things:

Indebtedness


Dividends and stock repurchases


Capital stock


Dispositions and acquisitions


Employees


Acquisition proposals


Adverse actions


Amendments to governing documents


Business products and policies


Accounting


Other agreements


Conditions to Consummation of the Merger

    Each party's obligation to effect the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, where permissible, of the following conditions at or prior to the effective time:


    No assurance can be provided as to if, or when, the required regulatory approvals necessary to consummate the merger will be obtained, or whether all of the other conditions precedent to the merger will be satisfied or waived by the party permitted to do so. If the merger is not effected on or before May 31, 2000, either IUB or FAB may terminate the merger agreement, unless the failure to effect the merger by that date is due to the failure of the party seeking to terminate the merger agreement to perform or observe covenants and agreements of that party set forth in the merger agreement.

Regulatory Approvals Required for the Merger

    IUB and FAB have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals required to consummate the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. IUB must receive approval from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). IUB has competed the filing of an application to obtain this required regulatory approval. The merger cannot proceed in the absence of this required regulatory approval. There can be no assurance that this required regulatory approvals will be obtained. However, neither IUB nor FAB know of any basis on which the Federal Reserve Board could deny approval of IUB's application.

    IUB and FAB are not aware of any other material governmental approvals or actions that are required prior to the parties' consummation of the merger other than those described below. If any additional governmental approvals or actions are required, the parties presently intend to seek those approvals or actions. There can be no assurance, however, that the parties will obtain these additional approvals or actions.

    Federal Reserve Board.  The merger is subject to approval by the Federal Reserve Board pursuant to Section 3 of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHCA"). Assuming Federal Reserve Board approval, the parties may not consummate the merger until 30 days after that approval. During that time, the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") may challenge the merger on antitrust grounds and seek the divestiture of certain assets and liabilities. IUB does not conduct business in any of the banking markets of FAB and neither IUB nor FAB expect the DOJ to challenge the merger on antitrust grounds. With the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the DOJ, the waiting period may be reduced to no fewer than 15 days. IUB and FAB anticipate this waiting period being reduced to 15 days.

    The Federal Reserve Board is prohibited from approving any transaction under the applicable statutes that (1) would result in a monopoly, (2) would be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States, or (3) may have the effect in any section of the United States of substantially lessening competition, tending to create a monopoly or resulting in a restraint of trade, unless the Federal Reserve Board finds that the anti-competitive effects of the transaction are clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities to be served.

    In addition, in reviewing a transaction under the applicable statutes, the Federal Reserve Board will consider the financial and managerial resources of the companies and their subsidiary banks and the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. As part of, or in addition to, consideration of these factors, the parties anticipate that the Federal Reserve Board will consider the regulatory status of IUB and FAB, current and projected economic conditions in the areas of the United States where IUB and FAB operate, and the overall capital and safety and soundness standards established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the "FDICIA") and the regulations promulgated under the FDICIA.

    Under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the "CRA"), the Federal Reserve Board must take into account the record of performance of each of IUB and FAB in meeting the credit needs of the entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, served by each company and their subsidiaries. Each of IUB's and FAB's subsidiary depository institutions has a satisfactory CRA rating with the appropriate federal regulator. None of these institutions received any negative comments from its respective federal regulator in its last CRA examination relating to those ratings that were material and remain unresolved.

    The Federal Reserve Board will furnish notice and a copy of the application for approval of the merger to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"). The OCC has 30 days to submit their view and recommendations to the Federal Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Board is required to hold a public hearing in the event it receives a written recommendation of disapproval of the application from the OCC within that 30-day period. Furthermore, the BHCA and Federal Reserve Board regulations require publication of notice of, and the opportunity for public comment on, the application submitted by IUB for approval of the merger, and authorize the Federal Reserve Board to hold a public meeting in connection with the application if the Federal Reserve Board determines that a meeting would be appropriate. Any meeting or comments provided by third parties could prolong the period during which the application is subject to review by the Federal Reserve Board.

Material Federal Income Tax Consequences

    The following is a summary of the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger to FAB shareholders who hold FAB common stock as a capital asset, that is, generally for investment. The summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), Treasury regulations issued under the Code, and administrative rulings and court decisions in effect as of the date of this document, all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion summarizes the opinion of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP, independent accountants to IUB and FAB. This summary is not a complete description of all of the consequences of the merger and, in particular, may not address U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to FAB shareholders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law. FAB shareholders subject to special treatment include, for example, foreign persons, financial institutions, dealers in securities, traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, holders who acquired their shares of FAB common shares pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or right or otherwise as compensation, and holders who hold FAB common shares as part of a "hedge," "straddle" or "conversion transaction." In addition, no information is provided in this document with respect to the tax consequences of the merger under applicable foreign, state or local laws.

    FAB shareholders are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the merger to them in their particular situations, including the effects of U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

    General.  In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP, has delivered to IUB its opinion, dated the date of the Registration Statement, addressing the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the merger described below. Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP has rendered its opinion on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in its opinion that are consistent with the state of facts expected to exist at the effective time. In rendering this opinion, Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP required and relied upon factual representations contained in certificates of officers of IUB and FAB. The opinion is that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the merger will be treated as a transaction of a type that is generally tax-free and, accordingly:


    The obligations of IUB and FAB to consummate the merger are conditioned upon the receipt of further opinions of their respective independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to IUB and FAB, as the case may be, dated the closing date, substantially that, on the basis of facts, factual representations and assumptions set forth in each opinion that are consistent with the state of facts existing at the effective time, the merger will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, that is, a transaction of a type that is generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In rendering those opinions, the independent accountants may require and rely upon representations contained in certificates of officers of IUB, FAB and others, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to them. None of the tax opinions to be delivered to the parties in connection with the merger as described in this document is binding on the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or the courts, and the parties do not intend to request a ruling from the IRS with respect to the merger. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the conclusions reflected in those opinions or that a court will not sustain such challenge.

    In the event that (a) either IUB or FAB fails to receive the opinion of its independent accountants described in the immediately preceding paragraph, (b) IUB and FAB decide to waive the condition to their obligations to consummate the merger relating to those opinions or (c) IUB and FAB determine that the tax consequences of the merger are materially different from those described above, IUB and FAB will circulate additional materials to the FAB shareholders and will resolicit their approval of the merger.

Accounting Treatment

    IUB and FAB anticipate that the merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests transaction under generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, FAB shareholders and IUB shareholders will be deemed to have combined their existing voting common stock interests by virtue of the exchange of shares of FAB common stock for IUB common shares. Accordingly, the book value of the assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity of each of IUB and FAB, as reported on their respective consolidated balance sheets, will be carried over to the consolidated balance sheet of IUB, and no goodwill will be created. IUB will be able to include in its consolidated income the consolidated income of both companies for the entire fiscal year in which the merger occurs. However, IUB must treat certain expenses incurred to effect the merger as current charges against income, rather than adjustments to its balance sheet.

    It is a condition to consummation of the merger that each of IUB and FAB receive an opinion from its respective independent accountants that the merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. See "—Conditions to Consummation of the Merger."

    IUB has prepared the unaudited pro forma financial information contained in this document using the pooling of interests accounting method to account for the merger. See "Summary—Unaudited Comparative Per Share Data" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

Termination of the Merger Agreement

    The merger agreement provides that the merger may be terminated at any time prior to the effective time, whether before or after approval by holders of FAB common stock:


    Whether or not the merger is consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the merger and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring these expenses, except that IUB and FAB will equally bear the costs and expenses of printing and mailing this document.

Extension, Waiver and Amendment of the Merger Agreement

    Extension and Waiver.  At any time prior to the effective time, IUB and FAB, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed:


    However, after the shareholders of FAB approve the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, IUB or FAB, as the case may be, may not, without further approval of the FAB shareholders, enter into any extension or waiver of the merger agreement that reduces the amount or changes the form of the consideration to be delivered to the holders of FAB common stock, other than as contemplated by the merger agreement.

    Amendment.  Subject to compliance with applicable law, IUB and FAB may amend the merger agreement by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors at any time before or after approval of the matters presented in connection with the merger by FAB shareholders. However, after any approval of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement by FAB shareholders, there may not be, without further approval of those shareholders, any amendment of the merger agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered to the FAB shareholders, other than as contemplated by the merger agreement.

Employee Benefits and Plans

    IUB will provide the officers and employees of FAB and Capstone Bank with the same employee benefits that IUB provides to its other officers and employees after the merger. IUB will credit the officers and employees of FAB and Capstone Bank with their years of service at FAB or Capstone Bank for purposes of eligibility to participate, vest and receive benefits under an IUB benefit plan.

Stock Exchange Listing

    IUB has agreed to cause the IUB common shares to be issued in the merger to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq National Market. It is a condition to the consummation of the merger that those shares be authorized for listing on the Nasdaq National Market, subject to official notice of issuance.

Expenses

    The merger agreement provides that each of IUB and FAB will pay its own expenses in connection with the merger and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. However, IUB and FAB will divide equally the payment of all printing and mailing costs relating to this document.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger

    Members of FAB's Board and FAB's management may have interests in the merger that are in addition to their interests as FAB shareholders generally. As described below, FAB executive officers and directors John R. Rodda and Luke W. Montgomery are expected to enter into agreements relating to their employment at Capstone Bank, N.A. following the merger. The FAB Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among many other matters, in approving the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement.

    The merger agreement provides that each of John R. Rodda, President and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Bank., and Luke W. Montgomery, a Senior Vice President of Capstone Bank, will enter into agreements relating to their employment with Capstone Bank after the effective time. The employment agreements for these executives will supersede existing employment, severance and deferred compensation agreements in effect between Capstone Bank and each of these executives. The employment agreements to be in effect after the merger do not extend the term of employment beyond the term presently provided in each executive's agreement. The new employment agreements provide for a compensation package for each executive that is less than the compensation payable under each executive's current agreement.

    The merger agreement provides that in the event of any threatened or actual claim or proceeding in which any person who is or has been a director, officer or employee of FAB or Capstone Bank is, or is threatened to be, made a party based in whole or in part on, or pertaining to, the fact that the person was a director, officer or employee of FAB or Capstone Bank, or the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, IUB will, subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, indemnify that person to the fullest extent permitted by law against any liability or expense incurred in connection with any of these claims or proceedings. The merger agreement further provides that IUB will, subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the persons serving as directors and officers of FAB immediately prior to the merger to be covered for a period of at least three years following the effective time by FAB's directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, or any equivalent substitute for that policy.

Restrictions on Resales by Affiliates

    Shares of IUB to be issued to FAB shareholders in the merger have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Shares of IUB issued in the merger may be traded freely and without restriction by those shareholders not deemed to be affiliates (as that term is defined under the Securities Act) of FAB. Any subsequent transfer of shares, however, by any person who is an affiliate of FAB at the time the merger is submitted for a vote of the holders of FAB common stock will, under existing law, require either:


    An "affiliate" of FAB is a person who directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, FAB. These restrictions are expected to apply to the directors and executive officers of FAB and the holders of 10% or more of the FAB common stock. The same restrictions apply to certain relatives or the spouse of those persons and any trusts, estates, corporations or other entities in which those persons have a 10% or greater beneficial or equity interest. IUB will give stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent with respect to the shares of FAB common stock to be received by persons subject to these restrictions, and the certificates for their shares will be appropriately legended.

    SEC guidelines regarding qualifying for the pooling of interests method of accounting also limit sales of shares of the acquiring and acquired company by affiliates of either company in a business combination. SEC guidelines indicate that the pooling of interests method of accounting will generally not be challenged on the basis of sales by affiliates of the acquiring or acquired company if those affiliates do not dispose of any of the shares of the corporation they own or shares of a corporation they receive in connection with a merger during the period beginning 30 days before the merger and ending when financial results covering at least 30 days of post-merger operations of the combined entity have been published.

    Each of FAB and IUB has agreed in the merger agreement to use all reasonable efforts to cause each person who is an affiliate of that party for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act, and for purposes of qualifying the merger for pooling of interests accounting treatment, to deliver to the other party a written agreement intended to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and preserve the ability to treat the merger as a pooling of interests.


MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS AFTER THE MERGER

FAB

    After the merger, FAB will be a wholly owned subsidiary of IUB and its directors and executive officers will be IUB's chief executive officer, James L. Saner, Sr., and IUB's chief financial officer, Donald A. Benziger. After the merger, the officers and employees of Capstone Bank generally are expected to hold the same positions under the same employment relationships held prior to the merger. See "Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger—Employment Agreements." The directors of Capstone Bank after the merger are expected to be the current directors of Capstone Bank and Mr. Saner, subject to such changes as IUB may later determine to make, if any.

    The merger is not expected to significantly alter the operations of Capstone Bank. Capstone Bank will retain its separate corporate existence, charter and name. After the merger, Capstone Bank will continue to serve its banking markets under a community banking philosophy mutually shared by the FAB Board and the IUB Board. Capstone Bank may offer additional banking and insurance products and services after the merger that IUB banks generally offer to customers.

IUB

    The directors and executive officers of IUB before the merger will continue to serve in such positions after the merger. Pursuant to the merger agreement the number of IUB directors will be increased by one at the effective time to create a position for an individual designated by the directors of FAB before the merger. The FAB board has designated Rick S. Hartman and Mr. Hartman is expected to become a director of IUB at the effective time of the merger.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto and other financial data appearing elsewhere in this document.

Financial Condition

Average Assets and Liabilities

    From December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1999, FAB experienced continued growth in deposits, earning assets, and total assets. Total average assets were $130.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of 7.7% from the prior year period. Average earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $117.3 million, an increase of $8.5 million, or 7.8%, from the same nine-month period in 1998. The average earning asset growth in 1999 is primarily due to an increase in the securities portfolio of 32.7% over the same period in 1998. During 1999, management moved funds from cash equivalents into the securities portfolio to reduce excess liquidity and realize higher yields. The growth in the securities portfolio consisted primarily of increased holdings of U.S. Government agency and mortgage-backed securities. Average loans for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were virtually the same, at $67.9 million and $67.6 million, respectively. Asset growth in 1999 was funded through average deposit growth of $9.3 million, or 8.8%, from the year ago period. Deposit growth in 1999 was in the interest-bearing categories.

    For the calendar year 1998, total average assets were $126.6 million, an increase of 14% over 1997. Asset growth was funded by average deposit growth of 13.6% in 1998. Average earning assets in 1998 were $113.5 million, an increase of $11.6 million, or 13.5%, from 1997. In 1998, growth in earning assets was primarily centered in the loan portfolio. Commercial and agricultural loans accounted for most of the loan growth in 1998. Higher loan volumes were obtained in 1998 by offering more competitive rates and winning new customers due to the Bourbonnais branch opening.

    Total deposits continued to grow in 1998 and the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as they have for several years in a row. Average deposits in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $115.6 million, an increase of $9.3 million, or 8.8%, from the same period in 1998. Interest-bearing deposit averages were $104.2 million and $92.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The $11.8 million, or 12.8%, increase in 1999 is primarily in NOW and money market accounts and time deposits in denominations of $100,000 or more.

    As shown in the consolidated Average Balance Sheets for 1998 and 1997, deposit growth in 1998 occurred in every category except savings accounts. FAB lowered its stated rate on savings accounts to 1.25% in 1998, resulting in some runoff. Deposit growth in 1998 was achieved through new accounts from the branch office in Bourbonnais, more competitive rate offerings, and the success of a new money market account designed for public fund customers.

    Average interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $108.1 million, an increase of 11.2% from the same period in 1998 and 6.1% from calendar 1998. In addition to deposits, FAB uses advances from the Federal Home Loan Banks to finance its earning assets. Average advances were $3.7 million during the first nine months of 1999, substantially unchanged from calendar 1998 average. During 1999, FAB paid off its debt at the parent level.

Average Balance Sheets

    The following table sets forth certain information relating to FAB's average balance sheets and reflects the yield on average earning assets and cost of average interest-bearing liabilities for the years indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing interest income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities. The average balance sheet amounts for loans include balances for non-performing loans.

Shareholders' Equity

    FAB's shareholders' equity increased $305,000, or 3.5%, from December 31, 1997 to September 30, 1999. Retained earnings has been the primary source of growth in shareholders' equity. However, this growth was offset by a change from a $391,000 net unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale at December 31, 1997 to a $460,000 net unrealized loss at September 30, 1999. Book value per share, excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities, increased to $41.79 at September 30, 1999 from $37.67 at December 31, 1997. Changes in FAB's shareholders' equity accounts are shown in the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity in the interim and annual financial statements included in this document.

Results of Operations

Overview

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, FAB earned $983,000, or $4.34 per share, compared to $875,000, or $3.91 per share, in the prior year period. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased by 12.3% over the same period in 1998. For the calendar year 1998, net income was $1.2 million or $5.30 per share, compared to $1.0 million, or $4.43 per share, in 1997. Net income in calendar year 1998 represents an increase of 15.5% over 1997. (All per share data discussed in this paragraph is basic earnings per share).

    The operating performance of bank holding companies is often measured, and comparisons made, based on net income to average assets and net income to average equity. FAB's return on average assets was 1.00% and .96% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and .93% and .92% for the calendar years 1998 and 1997. Return on average shareholders' equity was 13.88% and 12.73% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and 12.73% and 11.99% for the calendar years 1998 and 1997.

    Explanations for increased earnings, as well as other significant changes in income and expense, are summarized below.

Net Interest Income

    Net interest income, the difference between total interest earned on earning assets and total interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, is FAB's principal source of income. Net interest income is influenced by changes in the volume and yield on earning assets as well as changes in the volume and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. FAB attempts to favorably impact net interest income through investment decisions and monitoring interest rates offered to customers, particularly for time deposits and short-term borrowings.

    FAB's annualized net interest income expressed as a percentage of average interest earning assets (net interest margin) was 3.91% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 3.83% for the same period in 1998. The $309,000 increase in net interest income in the 1999 period resulted from favorable changes in interest-bearing asset/liability volumes and interest rates of $239,000 and $70,000, respectively. The yield on earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was 7.53% compared to 7.79% in the prior period, while the rate on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 48 basis points to 3.94% in 1999.

    The net interest margin was 3.68% and 3.96% for the calendar years 1998 and 1997, respectively. Net interest income increased by $135,000, or 3.3%, in 1998. As shown in the following "Interest Differential" table, a favorable change in volume of $466,000 more than offset a $331,000 unfavorable rate variance in 1998.

Interest Differential

    For the calendar years 1998 and 1997, the following table allocates changes in interest income and interest expense between amounts attributable to changes in rate and changes in volume for the various categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The changes in interest income and interest expense due to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionally.

    As the following table illustrates, FAB has maintained consistent levels of average interest- earning assets to total average assets and to average interest-bearing liabilities. The ratio of average time deposits to average interest-bearing liabilities has also been relatively stable during this thirty-three month period.

Provision for Loan Losses

    The provision for loan losses is determined by management through a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. This evaluation takes various factors into consideration. The provision is based on management's judgment of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level. In determining the provision for loan losses, management considers FAB's consistent loan growth and the amount of net charge-offs each year. Other factors, such as changes in the loan portfolio mix, delinquency trends, current economic conditions and trends, reviews of larger loans and known problem credits and the results of independent loan review and regulatory examinations are also considered by management in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

    One measurement used by management in assessing the risk inherent in the loan portfolio is the level of nonperforming loans. Nonperforming loans are comprised of those loans on which interest income is not being accrued and other loans which are past due ninety days or more but still in accrual status. Nonperforming assets, including other real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans, were as follows:


Nonperforming Assets

 
  September 30, 1999
  December 31, 1998
  December 31, 1997
 
Non-accrual loans   $ 1,024   $ 386   $ 607  
Other loans contractually past                    
due ninety days or more     298     305     1,001  
Other real estate     150     96     53  
   
 
 
 
    $ 1,472   $ 787   $ 1,661  
   
 
 
 
Nonperforming loans to total loans     1.93 %   1.01 %   2.45 %
Allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans     44.71     72.50     32.40  
Total nonperforming assets to total shareholders' equity     16.32     7.98     19.06  
Total nonperforming assets to total assets     1.12     .61     1.42  

    Impaired loans totaled $1,024,000 at September 30, 1999, $386,000 at December 31, 1998 and $606,000 at December 31, 1997, respectively. Management has allocated $261,000, $77,000, and $75,000 of the allowance for loan losses specifically to impaired loans as of September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, respectively.

    FAB's ratio of net loan recoveries to average loans was .14% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to .13% and .45% for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Due to the net recoveries in 1999 and the anticipation of an additional $185,000 recovery which was subsequently received in the fourth quarter of 1999, management did not record a provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

    Based on the historical loan loss experience, as well as the increase in recoveries in 1999, management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate.


    The following table details the component changes in FAB's allowance for loan losses for each of the past two years.

Noninterest Income

    Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges on customer deposit accounts, fees earned on trust services, increases in the cash surrender value of FAB-owned life insurance policies, and rental income on leased equipment. FAB has been successful in increasing noninterest income over the past several years.

    Total noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 increased 5.9% from the prior year period. In calendar 1998, noninterest income increased $125,000 or 9.3% over 1997. The ratio of noninterest income to income before taxes was 112.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 100.3% and 95.6% for the calendar years 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    Service charges on deposit accounts increased 18.8% in calendar year 1998 over 1997. The increase is generally reflective of greater overdraft and demand deposit service charges. Management reviews service charge and fee schedules at least annually and makes increases as deemed appropriate.

    Also included in noninterest income is the increase in cash surrender value of FAB-owned life insurance policies. The policies insure the lives of FAB's directors and certain senior officers and are used to informally fund nonqualified deferred compensation plans. If the life insurance policies are held by FAB until the death of the insured individuals, the periodic increase in cash surrender values and death benefits are exempt from regular federal and state income taxes under current law.

    Several years ago, FAB purchased equipment for operating leases. Rental income is a component of noninterest income, while depreciation of the leased equipment is part of noninterest expense. The leases are winding down and FAB has no plans to purchase additional equipment for this purpose.

Noninterest Expense

    Noninterest expense consists of compensation; occupancy and equipment expense; depreciation of leased equipment; and other costs such as advertising, office supplies and postage, and professional fees. FAB operates an in-house data processing system for its banking applications.

    Total noninterest expense increased 15.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. Salaries and employee benefits, which represent the largest component of noninterest expense, increased by 52.9% in 1999, primarily attributable to $650,000 of special compensation awarded by the Board of Directors to the President of Capstone Bank for various past services and success in leading FAB. Higher group insurance costs also contributed to increased compensation expense in 1999. At September 30, 1999, FAB's full-time equivalent employees totaled 54, compared to 56 and 53 at year-end 1998 and 1997.

    Noninterest expense in 1998 was negatively impacted by a $52,000 write-down of the estimated residual value of leased equipment. The write-down was recorded as additional depreciation expense in 1998.

Income Taxes

    FAB's income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes decreased to .7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 16.2% for the prior year period. The fluctuation is due to FAB's election to be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code, effective January 1, 1998. Income tax expense in 1998 is primarily due to eliminating the deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to temporary differences at January 1, 1998, as a result of the Subchapter S election. Income tax expense in 1997 is based on FAB's status as a C corporation for that year.

Quarterly Results

    Results for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 were affected by the factors described previously. FAB incurred a net loss of $147,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to net income of $401,000 in the same quarter of 1998. The primary reason for this fluctuation was $650,000 of special compensation discussed previously, which was recorded in the third quarter of 1999.

Asset/Liability Management

    The primary objectives of FAB's asset/liability management program are to achieve a stable net interest margin, to follow prudent investment strategies, and to maintain adequate liquidity to meet the withdrawal requirements of depositors and the financing needs of borrowers. Management continually monitors the liquidity requirements and rate sensitivity of its short-term sources of funds. The accompanying schedule illustrates repricing of FAB's rate sensitive assets and liabilities position at September 30, 1999.

Cumulative rate sensitivity ratio (interest-earning assets divided by interest-bearing liabilities)     .30     .37     .88     1.10

    Included in "90 Days or Less" rate sensitive liabilities are $7.3 million of savings deposits and $53.2 million of NOW and money market deposits which management considers more core deposit in nature than time deposits.

    While the negative GAP position represents a potential adverse impact on FAB's net interest income position in periods of rising interest rates, the same position generally results in a favorable impact when interest rates remain constant or decline.

    For purposes of the policy parameters, management does not consider savings, NOW, and money market account deposits to be repriceable within 90 days.

Liquidity

    FAB's primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, maturities of securities, federal funds sold, short-time investments, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.

    FAB's liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing, and financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities were greater than accrual basis net income by $439,000 and $390,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities exceeded net income by $962,000 and $547,000 in calendar 1998 and 1997, respectively. Management expects ongoing operating activities to continue to be a primary source of cash flows for FAB.

    A primary investing activity of FAB is the origination of loans. Principal collections exceeded loans made to customers by $137,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Loans made to customers, net of principal collections, were $3.0 million and $6.3 million in calendar 1998 and 1997, respectively. FAB also makes significant investments in securities. Investing activities related to securities resulted in net cash outflows of $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $3.7 million and $1.6 million in calendar years 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    Financing activities are centered primarily in deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and dividends paid. FAB has experienced growing deposit levels, which have helped maintain an adequate level of cash for FAB's activities. Deposits increased $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $12.0 million and $2.3 million in calendar years 1998 and 1997, respectively. The lower growth in deposits in 1999 is attributed to management's decision to lower the interest rates on certificates of deposit to the national average rates. As a result, FAB's certificate of deposit interest rates are generally lower than the competition in the area, which has resulted in some run-off. As competition for deposits is expected to remain strong, future deposit growth cannot be predicted with any certainty. Additional funding was provided by Federal Home Loan Bank advances, which increased by $891,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

    Dividends paid to shareholders as a percentage of net income were 78.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, 38.9% for the year ended December 31, 1998, and 46.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The higher dividend payout ratios after 1997 are reflective of FAB's Subchapter S status and the need to distribute cash to shareholders so they can pay income taxes on their pro rata share of FAB's taxable income. Excluding tax related distributions to shareholders, FAB's quarterly cash dividend was $.30 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $.25 per share in both calendar years 1998 and 1997.

    Financing activities also include long-term debt (notes payable). FAB's long-term debt was incurred to finance FAB's operations, including the purchase and retirement of FAB's stock. By September 30, 1999, FAB had paid off all notes payable at the parent company level. To help ensure the ability to meet its funding needs, including any unexpected strain on liquidity, FAB has a $5 million line of credit with a correspondent bank.

Capital Resources

    As discussed in Note 11 to FAB's annual financial statements, the consolidated Company and Capstone Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements. However, since FAB is a one-bank holding company with less than $150 million in consolidated assets, regulatory minimum capital tests are applied primarily at the subsidiary bank level.

    Tier 1 capital consists of shareholders' equity, excluding unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, less intangible assets. Total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses. At September 30, 1999, the Bank continued to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulatory criteria, as shown below.

 
  September 30, 1999 Capital Ratios
 
 
  Capstone Bank
  Regulatory Minimum to Be Well Capitalized
 
Tier 1 capital to average assets   7.66 % 5 %
Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets   11.70 % 6 %
Total capital to risk-weighted assets   12.40 % 10 %

    The Bank's Tier 1 capital and total capital were $10 million and $10.6 million, respectively, at September 30, 1999.

Effects of Inflation

    A financial institution's assets and liabilities are primarily monetary. The net monetary assets of a financial institution are affected more by the general level of interest rates than by the prices of other goods and services. High rates of inflation are generally accompanied by higher than normal interest rates. Conversely, with a low inflation rate, or the anticipation of lower rates of inflation, interest rates are usually lower. The Company generally is able to offset the higher cost of funds predominant in periods of higher inflation with increased yields on loans and securities. When inflation rates drop and interest rates follow that pattern, FAB's cost of funds and interest earned on assets are likely to decrease proportionately. An analysis of a financial institution's asset and liability structure provides useful information on how a financial institution is positioned to respond to changing interest rates and maintain profitability.

    Assets such as premises and equipment are considered non-monetary in nature and are not directly affected by inflation in the normal flow of business. These assets are directly affected by current rates of inflation only when purchased or sold.

New Accounting Pronouncements

    In 1999 and 2000, new accounting pronouncements have been issued or will take effect. These pronouncements and their expected effects on FAB, are summarized below.

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) 133 on derivatives will, effective January 1, 2001, require all derivatives to be recorded at fair value in the balance sheet, with changes in fair value charged or credited to income. If derivatives are documented and effective as hedges, the change in the derivative fair value will be offset by an equal change in the fair value of the hedged item. Under the new standard, securities held-to maturity can no longer be hedged, except for changes in the issuer's creditworthiness. Therefore, upon adoption of Statement 133, companies will have another one-time window of opportunity to reclassify securities held-to-maturity to either trading or available-for-sale, provided certain criteria are met. This Statement may be adopted early at the start of a calendar quarter. Since FAB has no significant derivative instruments or hedging activities, adoption of Statement 133 is not expected to have a material impact on FAB's financial statements. All of FAB's securities are already classified as available-for-sale. Management has not decided whether to adopt Statement 133 early.

    Statement 134 on mortgage banking, effective in 1999, allows mortgage loans that are securitized to be classified as trading; available-for-sale; or, in certain circumstances, held-to-maturity. Previously, these instruments had to be classified as trading. Since FAB has not securitized mortgage loans, Statement 134 is not expected to affect FAB.

Restrictions on Ownership

    The BHCA requires any "bank holding company" (as defined in the BHCA) to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board prior to the acquisition of 5% or more of the common shares of IUB. Any person, other than a bank holding company, is required to obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to acquire 10% or more of the common shares of IUB under the Change in Bank Control Act. Any holder of 25% or more of the common shares of IUB, or a holder of 5% or more if such holder otherwise exercises a "controlling influence" over IUB, is subject to regulation as a bank holding company under the BHCA.

Preferred Shares

    IUB may issue preferred shares in series, with those relative rights,preferences, and limitations of each series as may be fixed by the IUB Board.

Shares Available for Future Issuance

    After the merger, IUB will have over 4 million authorized common shares and all of its authorized preferred shares available for issuance as the need arises. The issuance of additional shares may occur without approval of IUB shareholders. The effect of the issuance of additional shares may be to dilute the present voting power and possibly the value of the shares outstanding before such issuance. The ability to issue additional shares could enable the IUB directors to make more difficult the replacement of incumbent directors or the accomplishment of takeover attempts opposed by the IUB board, even though any such takeover attempt may be supported by holders of a significant percentage of IUB outstanding shares.


COMPARISON OF SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS

General

    IUB and FAB are incorporated in Indiana and Illinois, respectively. FAB shareholders receiving IUB common shares in connection with the merger, whose rights as shareholders are currently governed by the Illinois Business Corporation Act, the FAB articles and the FAB bylaws, will, upon completion of the merger, automatically become IUB shareholders, and their rights will be governed by the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the IUB articles and the IUB bylaws. The following is a summary of the material differences between the rights of holders of IUB common shares and the rights of holders of FAB common stock. The following is not intended to be a complete description of these differences. These differences may be determined in full by reference to the Indiana Business Corporation Law, the Illinois Business Corporation Act, the IUB articles, the FAB articles, the IUB bylaws and the FAB bylaws.

Shareholder Approval

    Illinois law requires a merger or share exchange to be approved by holders of shares that represent at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast, unless the corporation's articles of incorporation permit a lesser percentage vote. The articles of incorporation of FAB do not contain a provision lowering the two-thirds voting requirement. Indiana law allows a merger or share exchange, and a sale of substantially all of the assets of a corporation, to be approved by shareholders voting shares that represent a majority of the votes entitled to be cast, unless the articles of incorporation require a higher percentage vote. The articles of incorporation of IUB do not contain a provision increasing the majority voting requirement.

    Illinois law requires that an amendment to articles of incorporation be approved by holders of shares that represent at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast. The articles of incorporation may require a greater voting requirement for approval. The FAB articles of incorporation do not contain a provision requiring a greater voting requirement for approval of an amendment to the articles of incorporation. Indiana law only requires that an amendment to articles of incorporation be approved by shareholders holding a majority of the shares present at the meeting.

State Anti-Takeover Statutes

    Under Indiana law, any person who crosses the ownership threshold of 20%, 33% and 50% of the common shares of IUB may not vote the shares that represent the ownership percentage that exceeds the threshold level unless the holders of a majority of the common shares of IUB, excluding the shares held by that person, confer voting rights on the additional shares at a special meeting. Illinois law has no provision comparable to this Indiana law.

    Indiana law also generally prohibits IUB from engaging in a merger and a variety of other transactions with a person that holds 10% or more of the voting power of IUB unless a period of five years has expired from the date that person acquired 10% or more of the voting power of IUB.  Illinois law generally prohibits FAB from engaging in a merger and a variety of other transactions with a person that holds 15% of the voting power of FAB unless a period of three years has expired from the date that person acquired 15% or more of the voting power of FAB.

Director and Officer Liability

    Under Illinois law, a director and an officer can be liable for his negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties to the corporation. Under Indiana law, a director and an officer can be liable only where the failure to perform is willful misconduct or reckless.

Nominations to the Board

    The IUB bylaws require that advance written notice be given to the IUB Board by any person wishing to nominate himself or another person at the annual meeting of shareholders. Only persons nominated by the IUB Board or by shareholders who have given the proper advance notice may be elected as directors. At least 60 days and no more than 90 days notice before the shareholder meeting is required to be given to the IUB Board. The notice must contain certain information, including the identity and address of the nominating shareholder, the number of IUB common shares owned, and all information regarding the proposed nominee that IUB would be required to include in the annual meeting proxy statement if that person were to be nominated. The provisions in the IUB bylaws requiring advance notice of nominations by shareholders afford the IUB Board sufficient time to consider the qualifications of proposed nominees and, to the extent it deems it necessary or desirable, to inform shareholders about these qualifications.

    Neither the FAB articles nor the FAB bylaws require any advance written notice to the FAB Board to nominate a person for election as a director of FAB.


RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS

    Under Illinois law, holders of FAB shares who do not vote in favor of the merger and who follow the procedures set forth under Illinois law may require the combined company to pay in cash the fair value of his or her shares as determined under Sections 11.65 and 11.70 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act. We have attached the text of Sections 11.65 and 11.70 of the Illinois Business Corporation Act to this document as Appendix C. In order to exercise those statutory rights, strict compliance with these statutory provisions is required. Each shareholder who may desire to exercise those rights should carefully review and adhere to those provisions.

    A dissenting shareholder of FAB who desires to pursue his or her rights to demand payment must:


    The initial written objection of a dissenting shareholder of FAB should be delivered to First Affiliated Bancorp, Inc., 216 S. Fourth Street, Watseka, Illinois 60970 Attn: Luke W. Montgomery, Secretary. It is recommended that this objection be sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

    A dissenting FAB shareholder that filed the required written objection with FAB prior to the shareholder vote need not vote against the merger, but a vote in favor of the merger will constitute a waiver of that shareholder's statutory dissenter's rights. FAB shareholders should note that returning a properly signed proxy card that does not indicate a vote or an abstention on approval of the merger will constitute a vote in favor of the merger. A vote against the merger does not, alone, constitute a written objection.

    If the merger is approved by the FAB shareholders, IUB will send to those shareholders satisfying the above conditions a statement of its estimate of the fair value of the FAB shares. Financial information about FAB required to be provided under Illinois law will accompany this statement. A shareholder who does not agree with this estimate of fair value must notify IUB in writing of the shareholder's estimate of the shares' fair value and demand payment for the difference within 30 days from the delivery of IUB's statement of its estimate of fair value. Shareholders who fail to notify IUB of their estimate of fair value within this period will lose their rights to demand payment.


LEGAL MATTERS

    The validity of the IUB common shares to be issued in connection with the merger will be passed upon for IUB by David W. Harper, Esq., 2450 Meidinger Tower, Louisville, Kentucky 40202.


EXPERTS

    The consolidated financial statements of FAB and its subsidiary included in this document for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 have been included in reliance on the report with respect to those financial statements of Crowe, Chizek and Company LLP, independent accountants, given upon the authority of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

    The consolidated financial statements of IUB and its subsidiaries incorporated into this document by reference as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and for the three years ended December 31, 1998 have been incorporated into this document in reliance on the report with respect to those financial statements of Olive LLP, independent accountants, given upon the authority of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing.


OTHER MATTERS

    As of the date of this document, we know of no matters that will be presented for consideration at the FAB special meeting other than voting on the merger. If any other matters do properly come before the FAB special meeting or any adjournments or postponements of that special meeting and are voted upon, the enclosed proxy will be deemed to confer discretionary authority on the individuals named as proxies to vote the shares represented by such proxy as to any of those other matters. The individuals named as proxies intend to vote or not to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the management of FAB.


WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

    IUB has filed with the SEC a Registration Statement under the Securities Act that registers the distribution to FAB shareholders of the common shares of IUB to be issued in connection with the merger. The Registration Statement, including the attached exhibits and schedules, contains additional relevant information about IUB and IUB common shares.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This document, including information included or incorporated by reference, contains certain forward-looking statements about the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of IUB and FAB, as well as certain information relating to the merger, including, without limitation, statements preceded or followed by or that include the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors:


UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

    The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1999 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1998 give effect to the pending merger, accounted for as a pooling of interests.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of IUB and FAB under the assumptions and adjustments set forth here and in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to any cost savings that may occur in connection with the merger. Estimated merger costs are reflected as a pro forma adjustment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. These nonrecurring expenses have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income.

    Under generally accepted accounting principles, the transaction will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and, as such, the assets and liabilities of FAB will be combined with those of IUB at book value. In addition, the statements of income of FAB will be combined with the statements of income of IUB as of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income give effect to the merger as if the merger occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet assumes the merger was consummated on September 30, 1999. Certain reclassifications have been included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income to conform presentation.

    The accounting policies of both companies are in the process of being reviewed for consistency. As a result of this review, certain conforming accounting adjustments may be necessary. The nature and extent of these adjustments have not been determined but are not expected to be significant.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated historical financial statements of IUB and FAB, including the respective notes to these statements. See "Where You Can Find More Information" and pages F-1 through F-30. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or the results of operations in the future or of the combined financial position or the results of operations that would have been realized had the merger been consummated during the periods or as of the dates for which the pro forma information is presented.

    Pro forma per share amounts for the combined IUB and FAB entity are based on the exchange ratio of 4.4167.

    Shares issued to redeem FAB stock options outstanding are based on an assumed price of $17 for a IUB share. See "The Merger—Treatment of Options."

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 1998 and 1997

(Table amounts in thousands of dollars, except per share data)

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    Consolidation and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation:  The consolidated financial statements of First Affiliated Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capstone Bank, N.A. (Capstone or the Bank) and WFNB Service Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Capstone. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Nature of Operations:  The Company is engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking and trust and investment services conducted through its subsidiary bank. Capstone's main office and three branch offices are located in Iroquois and Kankakee Counties in Illinois, and Newton County in Indiana. Customers in Iroquois, Kankakee, and Newton Counties are the primary source of the Company's deposit, loan, and trust activities. The majority of the Company's income is derived from commercial and retail lending, deposit activities, and investments.

    Use of Estimates in Preparation of the Financial Statements:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The collectibility of loans, fair values of financial instruments, and status of contingencies are particularly subject to change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    Securities:  Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Securities available-for-sale are those which the Company may decide to sell if needed for liquidity, asset/liability management, or other reasons. Unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred tax, are charged or credited to a valuation allowance included as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

    Gains and losses on disposition are based on the net proceeds and the amortized cost of the securities sold, using the specific identification method.

    Loans and Loan Income:  Loans are stated net of unearned discount and the allowance for loan losses. Interest is accrued over the term of the loan based on the amount of principal outstanding. Income on installment loans, as well as purchase discount on real estate loans, is recognized on the interest method. Where serious doubt exists as to the collectibility of a loan, the accrual of interest is discontinued.

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91 (SFAS No. 91) requires that loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs be capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield on the related loan. The Company complies with SFAS No. 91 in all material respects.

    Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost, net of deferred loan fees, or estimated fair value in the aggregate. No loans were held for sale at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

    Allowance for Loan Losses:  Because some loans may not be repaid in full, an allowance for loan losses is recorded. Increases to the allowance are recorded by a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The allowance is reduced by loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Estimating the risk of loss and the amount of loss on any loan is necessarily subjective. Accordingly, the allowance is maintained by management at a level considered adequate to cover losses that are currently anticipated based on past loss experience, general economic conditions, information about specific borrower situations including their financial position and collateral values, and other factors and estimates which are subject to change over time. A loan is charged off by management as a loss when deemed uncollectible, although collection efforts continue and future recoveries may occur.

    Loans considered to be impaired are reduced to the present value of expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral by allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require an increase, such increase is reported as part of the provision for loan losses. A loan is considered to be impaired if it is probable that the creditor will be unable to collect all principal and interest under the contractual terms of the loan.

    Leased Assets:  Leased assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Rental income is recognized as it accrues and the associated assets are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

    Premises and Equipment:  Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Premises and equipment are depreciated primarily on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while major improvements are capitalized.

    Intangible Assets:  The value of depositor relationships purchased from the Resolution Trust Corporation in September of 1990 is being amortized over ten years. The carrying value, which is included in other assets on the balance sheet, was $122,000 and $181,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Amortization charged to expense was $59,000 and $54,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    Other Real Estate:  Real estate owned, other than that used in the normal course of business, is carried at the lower of cost (fair value at the date of foreclosure) or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any reduction to fair value from the related loan basis at the time of acquisition/foreclosure is accounted for as a loan loss. Any subsequent reductions in fair value less estimated costs to sell are recorded by charges to expense.

    Income Taxes:  Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

    Effective January 1, 1998, the Company elected to be taxed under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Consequently, taxable income of the Company will be reported on the tax returns of the individual stockholders. Income tax expense in 1998 is primarily due to eliminating the deferred tax assets and liabilities relating to temporary differences at January 1, 1998. This charge to earnings is a result of the Subchapter S election. The Company will file Subchapter S federal and state returns for 1998.

    Earnings Per Share:  Basic earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share shows the dilutive effect of additional common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options.

    Comprehensive Income:  Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale which are also recognized as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The accounting standard that requires reporting comprehensive income first applies for 1998, with prior information restated to be comparable.

    Statement of Cash Flows:  For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, noninterest-bearing amounts due from banks, federal funds sold, and money market fund investments. Generally, federal funds are sold for one-day periods. The Company reports net cash flows for customer loan and deposit transactions.

    Reclassifications:  Certain reclassifications were made to make the prior year financial statements comparable with the 1998 presentation.

NOTE 3—LOANS

    The Company makes loans to customers primarily in Iroquois County, Illinois; Kankakee County, Illinois; Newton County, Indiana; and the respective surrounding areas. Most loans are secured by specific items of collateral, including commercial, agricultural, and residential real estate and other business and consumer assets.

    Loans at year-end consisted of the following:

 
  1998
  1997
 
Commercial   $ 21,816   $ 15,772  
Agricultural     8,670     7,698  
Residential real estate     19,489     21,045  
Commercial and agricultural real estate     9,482     12,246  
Installment     8,979     9,000  
   
 
 
Total loans     68,436     65,761  
Allowance for loan losses     (501 )   (521 )
   
 
 
    $ 67,935   $ 65,240  
   
 
 

    Certain officers and directors and companies with which they are affiliated have borrowed money from the Company. Loans to these related parties were approximately $1,210,000 and $1,366,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

    As discussed in Note 7, residential real estate loans were pledged to secure other borrowed funds at December 31, 1998 and 1997.

    The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include standby letters of credit and unused lines of credit. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to these financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. The Company uses the same credit policy to make such commitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet items.

    The contract amount of these financial instruments is summarized as follows at December 31:

 
  1998
  1997
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent
credit risk
           
Unused lines of credit   $ 13,215   $ 10,502
Letters of credit     383     1,343

    Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amounts above do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using management's credit evaluation of the borrower and may include commercial and residential real estate and other business and consumer assets.

    Activity in the allowance for loan losses is summarized below:

 
  1998
  1997
 
Balance at beginning of year   $ 521   $ 613  
Provision for loan losses     75     190  
Recoveries on loans previously charged off     138     128  
Loans charged off     (233 )   (410 )
   
 
 
Balance at end of year   $ 501   $ 521

2000     7,627
2001     3,085
2002     669
2003     1,263
   
    $ 48,036
   

NOTE 6—NOTES PAYABLE

    The Company has two notes payable to a correspondent bank. The notes bear interest at 60 basis points below the lender's prime rate (7.15% at December 31, 1998). Interest is payable quarterly and principal is due at maturity on April 1, 1999. The notes are secured by the stock of Capstone. The terms of the notes payable require Capstone to maintain the following ratios.

Total capital to assets—minimum   7 %
Nonperforming loans plus other real estate (ORE) to total loans plus ORE—maximum   3 %
Nonperforming loans plus ORE to capital—maximum   24 %
Net income to average assets—minimum   .75 %

    For purposes of the above ratios, capital is comprised of capital stock, capital surplus, retained earnings, and the allowance for loan losses, minus intangible assets. Capstone was in compliance with the above ratios as of December 31, 1998.

NOTE 7—ADVANCES FROM THE FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK

    Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) at year-end were:

 
  1998
  1997
Advance due August 6, 1999, 5.98%   $ 1,000   $ 1,000
Advance due August 8, 2002, 5.40%     2,000     2,000
Advance due November 5, 2002, 6.65%     280     350
Advance due March 15, 2006, 6.20%     430     473
   
 
    $ 3,710   $ 3,823
   
 

    At year-end 1998, scheduled principal reductions on long-term debt were:

1999   $ 1,126
2000     121
2001     116
2002     2,112
2003     38
Thereafter     197
   
    $ 3,710
   

    Capstone maintains a collateral pledge agreement with the FHLB of Chicago covering secured advances whereby Capstone has agreed to retain residential real estate loans with unpaid principal balances aggregating no less than 167% of the outstanding advances from the FHLB of Chicago. Capstone also maintains a collateral pledge agreement with the FHLB of Indianapolis covering secured advances whereby Capstone has agreed to retain home mortgage loans with unpaid principal balances and eligible securities aggregating no less than 160% of the outstanding advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis.

FIRST AFFILIATED BANCORP, INC.

NOTE 8—RETIREMENT PLAN

    Substantially all full-time employees are included in the 401(k) salary deferral plan maintained by the Company. Eligible employees may elect to contribute a percentage of their compensation, as defined, to the plan. The employer contributions to the plan are based upon matching a specific percentage of compensation as determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Annual contributions are charged to expense and were $66,000 and $63,000 in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE 9—INCOME TAXES

    Income tax expense consists of the following:

 
  1998
  1997
Currently payable tax   $ 135   $ 342
Deferred tax     144     38
   
 
Income tax expense   $ 279   $ 380
   
 

    Interest income on loans, leases, and securities totaling $459,000 in 1997 is exempt from federal income tax. Also, increases in the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies are exempt from federal income taxes while the premiums paid for the policies are not deductible. Primarily for these reasons, income tax expense in 1997 is less than the amount calculated by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes.

    Deferred tax assets (liabilities) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:

 
  1998
  1997
 
Gross deferred tax assets   $   $ 449  
Gross deferred tax liabilities         (507 )
   
 
 
Net deferred tax liabilities   $   $ (58 )
   
 
 

    At December 31, 1997, temporary differences resulting in deferred tax assets consisted primarily of the allowance for loan losses and deferred compensation.

    Temporary differences resulting in deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 1997 are primarily from depreciation, deferred loan fees, leased equipment, and market discount accretion on securities. Deferred tax liabilities also included $202,000 related to unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale at December 31, 1997.

    No deferred tax assets and liabilities exist at December 31, 1998 due to the Subchapter S election in 1998.

NOTE 10—STOCK OPTIONS

    In November 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of stock options for 10,842 shares of the Company's common stock. All of these options were issued to former shareholders of the Company who held their shares in individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and sold their Company stock to the Company at $47.00 per share. The purchase of these shares and issuance of options was part of the Company's plans to become a Subchapter S corporation for income tax purposes effective January 1, 1998. IRAs cannot be S corporation shareholders. Thus, the Company could not become an S corporation effective January 1, 1998 if any of its stock were held by IRAs as of December 31, 1997. The options will expire on November 15, 2007 if not exercised, and none of these options had been exercised as of December 31, 1998. The exercise price for each option is $47.00 per share. Since the options were issued to former shareholders in exchange for their stock, the pro forma disclosures of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 regarding stock-based compensation are not applicable.

NOTE 11—REGULATORY MATTERS

    The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Since the Company is a one-bank holding company and has consolidated assets of less than $150 million, regulatory minimum capital tests are applied primarily to the Bank subsidiary. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of the Company and the Bank.

    The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. The minimum requirements are:

 
  Capital to Risk-
Weighted Assets

   
 
 
  Tier 1
Capital to
Average Assets

 
 
  Total
  Tier 1
 
Well capitalized   10 % 6 % 5 %
Adequately capitalized   8 % 4 % 4 %
Under capitalized   6 % 3 % 3 %

    At December 31, 1998, the Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios, together with the minimum regulatory requirements, were:

 
  Actual
  Minimum Required
for Capital
Adequacy Purposes

  Minimum Required
to Be Well Capitalized

 
 
  Amount
  Ratio
  Amount
  Ratio
  Amount
  Ratio
 
Total capital (to risk-weighted assets)   $ 9,879   11.3 % $ 6,974   8 % $ 8,718   10 %
Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)   $ 9,378   10.8 % $ 3,487   4 % $ 5,231   6 %
Tier 1 capital (to average assets)   $ 9,378   7.4 % $ 5,052   4 % $ 6,315   5 %

    The Bank was categorized by its regulators as well capitalized in 1998. There are no conditions or events since the most recent notification that management believes would change the Bank's category.

    Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by banks without prior approval of their regulatory agency. The Bank's retained earnings against which dividends may be charged without prior approval were approximately $141,000 at December 31, 1998.

    The Bank is required to maintain vault cash and non-interest-bearing balances with the Federal Reserve Bank as reserves. The required reserves at December 31, 1998 were $2,054,000.

Diluted earnings per common share   $ 5.29   $ 4.43
   
 

    Stock options for 10,842 shares of common stock were not considered in computing diluted earnings per common share for 1997 because they were antidilutive.

NOTE 15—CONTINGENCIES

    From time to time, the Company and the Bank are involved in legal actions arising in the normal course of their business. Management believes that the ultimate liability from such actions, if any, will not have a material effect on the financial condition of the Company or the Bank.

NOTE 16—DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented below do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

    The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments.

    Short-Term Financial Instruments:  Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions are valued at their carrying amounts included in the balance sheets, which are reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

    Securities:  Fair value for these instruments equals quoted market prices or dealer quotes, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices of similar securities.

    Loans:  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.

    Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance Policies:  These instruments are valued at their carrying amounts included in the balance sheets, which are reasonable estimates of fair value.

    Deposits and Repurchase Agreements:  The fair value of demand deposits, NOW accounts, money market deposits, and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates for liabilities of similar remaining maturities.

    Notes Payable:  For these variable rate notes, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of the fair value.

    FHLB Advances:  FHLB advances are at fixed rates and the fair value is estimated using the current rates for advances of similar remaining maturities.

    Accrued Interest:  The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

    Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit:  The fair value of these instruments is not material.

    The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at year-end are as follows:

 
  1998
  1997

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 1999 and 1998

(Table amounts in thousands of dollars)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Affiliated Bancorp, Inc. ("the Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capstone Bank, N.A. ("the Bank"), and WFNB Service Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain disclosures and footnote information normally accompanying the annual financial statements have been omitted. These interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The December 31, 1998 condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

    Interim statements are subject to possible adjustment in connection with the annual audit of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1999. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations for the periods presented.

    The results of operations for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET CREDIT RISK

    The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include standby letters of credit and unused lines of credit. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to these financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. The Company uses the same credit policy to make such commitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet items.

    The contract amount of these financial instruments is summarized as follows at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998:

 
  September 30,
1999

  December 31,
1998

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk            
Unused lines of credit   $ 13,913   $ 13,215
Letters of credit     1,213     383

    Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used, the amounts above do not necessarily represent future cash commitments. Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined using management's credit evaluation of the borrower and may include commercial and residential real estate and other business and consumer assets.

NOTE 3—NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("Statement") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes "special accounting" for hedges. Statement 133 is effective for 2001. The Company presently believes that the adoption of Statement 133 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

    4.2  Acquisition Proposals.  

    (a) The Company shall not, and the Company shall direct and use its best efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (including without limitation any attorney, accountant, investment banker or other advisor retained by it) not to, initiate, solicit or encourage, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making or implementation of any proposal or offer (including, without limitation, any proposal or offer to its shareholders) with respect to a merger, acquisition, consolidation or similar transaction involving, or any purchase of all or any significant portion of the assets or any equity securities of, the Company (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an "Acquisition Proposal") or engage in any negotiations or discussions with, or furnish any information or data to, any third party relating to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives shall immediately cease any existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

    (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.2, the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company (A) may furnish information to, and participate in discussions or negotiations with any third party that after the date hereof submits an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal to the Company if the Company's Board of Directors determines in good faith, based upon the written advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to furnish such information or participate in such discussions or negotiations may reasonably constitute a breach of the Board's fiduciary duties under applicable law, and (B) shall be permitted to (y) take and disclose to the Company's shareholders a position with respect to the Merger or an Acquisition Proposal, or amend or withdraw such position, or (z) make disclosure to the Company's shareholders, in each case either with respect to or as a result of an Acquisition Proposal, if the Company's Board of Directors determines in good faith, based upon the written advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action may reasonably constitute a breach of the Board's fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, that the Company shall not enter into any acquisition agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal except concurrently with the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1(d) and shall not enter into any other agreements with respect to an Acquisition Proposal except concurrently with such termination unless, and only to the extent that, such other agreements would facilitate the process of providing information to, or conducting discussions or negotiations with, the parties submitting such an Acquisition Proposal, such as confidentiality and standstill agreements.

ARTICLE V
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

    5.1  Access to Information.  Upon reasonable notice, the Company and Parent shall each (and the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to) afford to the officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel and other authorized representatives of the other ("Representatives") reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its books and records, properties, officers, directors, employees, counsel, accountants and other representatives, and, during such period, shall (and Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to) make available to such Representatives (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws or federal or state banking laws (other than reports or documents that such party is not permitted to disclose under applicable law) and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel and all financial operating and other data as may reasonably be requested. The parties will hold any such information that is non-public in confidence and, without limitation on its obligations under the preceding clause, the parties will hold any such information in confidence until such time that such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party or any of its Representatives; provided, however, that this sentence shall not prohibit disclosure of such information to the extent required or reasonably contemplated by any subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process. No investigation by either Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company on the other hand, shall affect the representations and warranties of the other, except to the extent such representations and warranties are by their terms qualified by information set forth in the Parent Letter (in the case of Parent and Merger Sub) or the Company Letter (in the case of the Company) to the other party.

    5.2  Preparation of S-4 and the Proxy Statement.  Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC the S-4, in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. Parent shall use all reasonable efforts to have the S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing. Parent shall also take any action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is now not so qualified) required to be taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the issuance of Parent Common Stock in the Merger and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of Company Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

    5.3  Shareholder Meeting.  The Company shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders to be held for the purpose of voting upon the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Unless the Company has determined to recommend an Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 4.2(b), the Company will, through its Board of Directors, unanimously recommend to its shareholders approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall cooperate with Parent with respect to the timing of such meeting and shall use its best efforts to hold such meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the date on which the S-4 becomes effective.

    5.4  Reasonable Efforts.  Each of the Company and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements that may be imposed on such party or (in the case of Parent) its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the appropriate vote of shareholders of the Company described in Section 3.2(r), including using all reasonable efforts (i) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other party to obtain) any necessary or appropriate consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and/or any other public or private third party in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) to effect all necessary registrations, filings and submissions and (iii) to lift any injunction or other legal bar to the Merger (and, in such case, to proceed with the Merger as expeditiously as possible), subject, however, to the requisite vote of the shareholders of the Company.

    5.8  Additional Agreements.  In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either of the Company or Merger Sub, the proper officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub shall take all such necessary action.

    5.9  Indemnification; Directors' and Officers' Insurance  

    5.10  Pooling and Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment.  Neither Parent nor the Company shall intentionally cause to be taken any action, whether before or after the Effective Time, that would disqualify the Merger as a "pooling of interests" for accounting purposes or as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

    5.11  Employee Benefit Plans.  As soon as administratively feasible after the Effective Time, the officers and employees of the Company shall be provided with such employee benefits as Parent, directly or through its Subsidiaries, generally provides to officers and employees from time to time, including life, medical, hospitalization and disability insurance and sick pay, personal leave and retirement plan benefits, on a non-discriminatory and substantially similar basis. For purposes of providing such benefits to officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, Parent shall credit such officers and employees for years of service at the Company prior to the Effective Time for purposes of (i) eligibility to participate, vesting and eligibility to receive benefits under any Parent Benefit Plan and (ii) benefit accrual under any sickness, personal leave or vacation pay plan. At and after the Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be provided with such directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage as Parent from time to time determines to provide to its directors and officers.

    5.12  Board Seat.  Prior to the Closing Date the directors of Parent shall take such action as may be necessary to elect to the Board of Directors of Parent, effective at the Effective Time, that director of the Company designated by the Company in the Company Letter (the "Designated Director"). Parent, subject to the exercise by its Board of Directors of their fiduciary duties, will nominate the Designated Director for election at Parent's Annual Meeting of Shareholders for the year 2000 and will recommend to its shareholders the election of the Designated Director.

    5.13  Rodda Employment Agreement.  At the Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver an Employment Agreement with John R. Rodda in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5.13.

    5.14  Montgomery Employment Agreement.  At the Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver an Employment Agreement with Luke W. Montgomery in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5.14.

    5.15  Allowance.  The Company shall take such action as may be necessary to cause the Allowance (as defined in Section 3.1(g)) to be at least one percent (1%) of the Company's "gross" loan and lease portfolios and other extensions of credit on the Closing Date.

    5.16  Company Compensation Plans and Agreements.  The Company shall confer with the Oak Brook, Illinois office of Crowe Chizek and take such action to cause, with respect to all deferred compensation plans and executive employee salary continuation agreements of the Company or any Subsidiary, the accrual of all amounts that such office of Crowe Chizek may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to cause all liabilities under such plans or agreements to be fully and accurately accrued under generally accepted accounting principles at December 31, 1999.

ARTICLE VI

    8.10  Waivers.  Except as provided in this Agreement or in any waiver pursuant to Section 7.4, no action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.

Board of Directors
First Affiliated Bancorp, Inc.
216 South Fourth Street
Watseka, Illinois 60970

Members of the Board:

    You requested that we update our oral opinion given to you in July 1999 as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock of First Affiliated Bancorp, Inc. ("First Affiliated") of the Merger Consideration to be received in the proposed merger between First Affiliated and Indiana United Bancorp, Inc., Greensburg, Indiana, (the "Corporation"). In consideration of the Merger, the Corporation has offered to exchange a certain number of common stock shares (the "Merger Consideration") for the outstanding shares of First Affiliated common stock subject to an exchange ratio based upon the formula contained in the Merger Agreement. The shares will be exchanged pursuant to the Amended and Restated Plan of Merger effective as of November 5, 1999 and executed on February 29, 2000 (the "Merger Agreement"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Corporation shall cause First Affiliated to be merged with and into FAB Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation (the "Merger).

    Alex Sheshunoff & Co. Investment Banking LP ("Sheshunoff") is regularly engaged in the valuation of securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, private placements, and valuations for estate, corporate and other purposes.

    In connection with our opinion, we, among other things:


    We assumed and relied upon, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of the information provided to us by First Affiliated for the purposes of this opinion. In addition, where appropriate, we relied upon publicly available information that we believe to be reliable, accurate, and complete; however, we cannot guarantee the reliability, accuracy, or completeness of any such publicly available information.

    We did not made an independent evaluation of the assets or liabilities of First Affiliated or the Corporation, nor were we furnished with any such appraisals. We are not experts in the evaluation of loan portfolios for the purposes of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses and assumed that such allowances for each of the companies are, in the aggregate, adequate to cover such losses.

    We assumed that all required regulatory approvals will be received in a timely fashion and without any conditions or requirements that could adversely affect the Merger or the Corporation's operations following the Merger. Based upon management's representations, we assumed that the Corporation and First Affiliated are in compliance with all of the Y2K requirements of their respective regulatory authorities.

    Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, market, and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this opinion.

    Our opinion is limited to the fairness of the Merger Consideration, from a financial point of view, to the holders of First Affiliated common stock. Moreover, this letter and the opinion expressed herein do not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to any approval of the Merger or the Merger Agreement. It is understood that this letter is for the information of the Board of Directors of First Affiliated and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

    Based on the foregoing and such other matters we have deemed relevant, it is our opinion, as of the date hereof, that the Merger Consideration to be received by the First Affiliated stockholders pursuant to the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view.


APPENDIX C
ILLINOIS DISSENTERS' RIGHTS LAW
UNDER THE ILLINOIS BUSINESS CORPORATION ACT OF 1983

5/11.65. RIGHT TO DISSENT

    SECTION 11.65. Right to dissent. (a) A shareholder of a corporation is entitled to dissent from, and obtain payment for his or her shares in the event of any of the following corporate actions:

(1)
consummation of a plan of merger or consolidation or a plan of share exchange to which the corporation is a party if (i) shareholder authorization is required for the merger or consolidation or the share exchange by Section 11.20 or the articles of incorporation or (ii) the corporation is a subsidiary that is merged with its parent or another subsidiary under Section 11.30;

(2)
consummation of a sale, lease or exchange of all, or substantially all, of the property and assets of the corporation other than in the usual and regular course of business;

(3)
an amendment of the articles of incorporation that materially and adversely affects rights in respect of a dissenter's shares because it:

(i)
alters or abolishes a preferential right of such shares;

(ii)
alters or abolishes a right in respect of redemption, including a provision respecting a sinking fund for the redemption or repurchase, of such shares;

(iii)
in the case of a corporation incorporated prior to January 1, 1982, limits or eliminates cumulative voting rights with respect to such shares; or

    (4) any other corporate action taken pursuant to a shareholder vote if the articles of incorporation, by-laws, or a resolution of the board of directors provide that shareholders are entitled to dissent and obtain payment for their shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 11.70 or as may be otherwise provided in the articles, by-laws or resolution.

    (b) A shareholder entitled to dissent and obtain payment for his or her shares under this Section may not challenge the corporate action creating his or her entitlement unless the action is fraudulent with respect to the shareholder or the corporation or constitutes a breach of a fiduciary duty owed to the shareholder.

    (c) A record owner of shares may assert dissenters' rights as to fewer than all the shares recorded in such person's name only if such person dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by any one person and notifies the corporation in writing of the name and address of each person on whose behalf the record owner asserts dissenters' rights. The rights of a partial dissenter are determined as if the shares as to which dissent is made and the other shares were recorded in the names of different shareholders. A beneficial owner of shares who is not the record owner may assert dissenters' rights as to shares held on such person's behalf only if the beneficial owner submits to the corporation the record owner's written consent to the dissent before or at the same time the beneficial owner asserts dissenters' rights.

5.11.70. PROCEDURE TO DISSENT

    SECTION 11.70. Procedure to Dissent. (a) If the corporate action giving rise to the right to dissent is to be approved at a meeting of shareholders, the notice of meeting shall inform the shareholders of their right to dissent and the procedure to dissent. If, prior to the meeting, the corporation furnishes to the shareholders material information with respect to the transaction that will objectively enable a shareholder to vote on the transaction and to determine whether or not to exercise dissenters' rights, a shareholder may assert dissenters' rights only if the shareholder delivers to the corporation before the vote is taken a written demand for payment for his or her shares if the proposed action is consummated, and the shareholder does not vote in favor of the proposed action.

    (b) If the corporate action giving rise to the right to dissent is not to be approved at a meeting of shareholders, the notice to shareholders describing the action taken under Section 11.30 or Section 7.10 shall inform the shareholders of their right to dissent and the procedure to dissent. If, prior to or concurrently with the notice, the corporation furnishes to the shareholders material information with respect to the transaction that will objectively enable a shareholder to determine whether or not to exercise dissenters' rights, a shareholder may assert dissenter's rights only if he or she delivers to the corporation within 30 days from the date of mailing the notice a written demand for payment for his or her shares.

    (c) Within 10 days after the date on which the corporate action giving rise to the right to dissent is effective or 30 days after the shareholder delivers to the corporation the written demand for payment, whichever is later, the corporation shall send each shareholder who has delivered a written demand for payment a statement setting forth the opinion of the corporation as to the estimated fair value of the shares, the corporation's latest balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year ending not earlier than 16 months before the delivery of the statement, together with the statement of income for that year and the latest available interim financial statements, and either a commitment to pay for the shares of the dissenting shareholder at the estimated fair value thereof upon transmittal to the corporation of the certificate or certificates, or other evidence of ownership, with respect to the shares, or instructions to the dissenting shareholder to sell his or her shares within 10 days after delivery of the corporation's statement to the shareholder. The corporation may instruct the shareholder to sell only if there is a public market for the shares at which the shares may be readily sold. If the shareholder does not sell within that 10 day period after being so instructed by the corporation, for purposes of this Section the shareholder shall be deemed to have sold his or her shares at the average closing price of the shares, if listed on a national exchange, or the average of the bid and asked price with respect to the shares quoted by a principal market maker, if not listed on a national exchange, during that 10 day period.

    (d) A shareholder who makes written demand for payment under this Section retains all other rights of a shareholder until those rights are cancelled or modified by the consummation of the proposed corporate action. Upon consummation of that action, the corporation shall pay to each dissenter who transmits to the corporation the certificate or other evidence of ownership of the shares the amount the corporation estimates to be the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, accompanied by a written explanation of how the interest was calculated.

    (e) If the shareholder does not agree with the opinion of the corporation as to the estimated fair value of the shares or the amount of interest due, the shareholder, within 30 days from the delivery of the corporation's statement of value, shall notify the corporation in writing of the shareholder's estimated fair value and amount of interest due and demand payment for the difference between the shareholder's estimate of fair value and interest due and the amount of the payment by the corporation or the proceeds of sale by the shareholder, whichever is applicable because of the procedure for which the corporation opted pursuant to subsection (c).

     (f) If, within 60 days from delivery to the corporation of the shareholder notification of estimate of fair value of the shares and interest due, the corporation and the dissenting shareholder have not agreed in writing upon the fair value of the shares and interest due, the corporation shall either pay the difference in value demanded by the shareholder, with interest, or file a petition in the circuit court of the county in which either the registered office or the principal office of the corporation is located, requesting the court to determine the fair value of the shares and interest due. The corporation shall make all dissenters, whether or not residents of this State, whose demands remain unsettled parties to the proceeding as an action against their shares and all parties shall be served with a copy of the petition. Nonresidents may be served by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law. Failure of the corporation to commence an action pursuant to this Section shall not limit or affect the right of the dissenting shareholders to otherwise commence an action as permitted by law.

    (g) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (f) by a corporation is plenary and exclusive. The court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the power described in the order appointing them, or in any amendment to it.

    (h) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment for the amount, if any, by which the court finds that the fair value of his or her shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by the corporation or the proceeds of sale by the shareholder, whichever amount is applicable.

     (i) The court, in a proceeding commenced under subsection (f), shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of the appraisers, if any, appointed by the court under subsection (g), but shall exclude the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties. If the fair value of the shares as determined by the court materially exceeds the amount which the corporation estimated to be the fair value of the shares or if no estimate was made in accordance with subsection (c), then all or any part of the costs may be assessed against the corporation. If the amount which any dissenter estimated to be the fair value of the shares materially exceeds the fair value of the shares as determined by the court, then all or any part of the costs may be assessed against that dissenter. The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable, as follows:


    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 the corporation, the court may award to that counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who are benefited. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the practice, procedure, judgment and costs shall be governed by the Code of Civil Procedure.

     (j) As used in this Section:

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

    Under the Indiana Business Corporation Law, Registrant may indemnify directors and officers against liabilities asserted against or incurred by them while serving as such or while serving at its request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise if (i) the individual's conduct was in good faith, (ii) the individual believed: (A) in the case of conduct in the individual's official capacity, that the individual's conduct was in the corporation's best interests and (B) in all other cases, that the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation's best interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual either (A) had reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was lawful or (B) had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful. Because its articles of incorporation do not provide otherwise, Registrant is required under the Indiana Business Corporation Law to indemnify a director or officer who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding in which the director or officer was a party because the director or officer was serving the corporation in such capacity against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

    The articles of incorporation of Registrant require the indemnification of its directors and officers to the greatest extent permitted by the Indiana Business Corporation Law.

    The Indiana Business Corporation Law also permits Registrant to purchase and maintain on behalf of its directors and officers insurance against liabilities asserted against or incurred by an individual in such capacity, whether or not Registrant otherwise has the power to indemnify the individual against the same liability under the Indiana Business Corporation Law. Under a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, directors and officers of Registrant are insured against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

(a)
The Exhibit Index appearing on the page following the signature page of this Registration Statement is hereby incorporated by reference.

(b)
No financial statement schedules are required to be filed herewith pursuant to Item 21(b) or (c) of this Form.

Item 22. Undertakings

(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;

(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

(2)
That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.

    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.

(c)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
