AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
     THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made October 21, 2006, by and among St. Xxxxxx Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“St. Xxxxxx”), OLD NATIONAL BANCORP, an Indiana corporation (“Old National”) and SMS SUBSIDIARY, INC., an Indiana corporation (“Merger Sub”).
Recitals
     A. St. Xxxxxx is a corporation duly organized and existing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) that is duly registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”) as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”). St. Xxxxxx owns all of the outstanding capital stock of St. Xxxxxx Capital Bank, which is duly organized and existing as a bank under the Indiana Financial Institutions Act (“IFIA”) which operates two banking offices in Indiana (“St. Xxxxxx Bank”).
     B. Old National is a corporation duly organized and existing under the Indiana Corporation Law (“IBCL”) that is duly registered with the FRB as a bank holding company under the BHC Act. Old National owns all of the outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub, which is duly organized and existing as a Indiana corporation under the IBCL.
     C. The parties desire to effect transactions whereby, in consideration for the payment of $40.00 per share to the stockholders of St. Xxxxxx in exchange for their shares of common stock, par value $0.01, of St. Xxxxxx (“St. Xxxxxx Common”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into St. Xxxxxx and St. Xxxxxx will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old National.
Agreements
     In consideration of the premises and the mutual terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
TERMS OF THE MERGER AND CLOSING
     Section 1.01. The Merger. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the DGCL, the IBCL, the Plan of Merger that is hereby adopted under the IBCL and that is attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Plan of Merger”), and the Certificate of Merger to be filed under the DGCL and attached hereto as Appendix B (the “Certificate of Merger”), Merger Sub shall merge with and into St. Xxxxxx (the “Merger”). Merger Sub shall be the “Merging Company” in the Merger and its corporate identity and existence, separate and apart from St. Xxxxxx, shall cease upon consummation of the Merger. St. Xxxxxx shall be the “Surviving Company” in the Merger, and its name shall not be changed pursuant to the Merger.
     Section 1.02. Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have all the effects provided by the IBCL.

- 1 -

 

     Section 1.03. The Merger – Conversion of Shares.
     (a) At the time of filing with the Indiana Secretary of State of appropriate Articles of Merger and of the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of the Certificate of Merger, or at such later time as shall be specified by such Indiana Articles of Merger and Delaware Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of the shares of St. Xxxxxx Common that immediately prior to the Effective Time are issued and outstanding (other than Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 1.03(d) that are covered by a proper demand for fair value) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive forty dollars and no cents ($40.00) per share, without interest. Such cash consideration per share is hereafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration.”
     (b) At the Effective Time, each of the outstanding shares of St. Xxxxxx Common, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of St. Xxxxxx Common (“Certificates”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except the right of such holders to receive, without interest, the Merger Consideration upon the surrender of such Certificate or Certificates in accordance with Section 1.07.
     (c) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Merging Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company (the “Survivor Shares”) which shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Surviving Company after the Effective Time.
     (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of St. Xxxxxx Common issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), and who complies in all respects with Section 262 (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.03(a), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value per share of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 262 shall cease, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be deemed Dissenting Shares and each such Dissenting Share shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, as provided in Section 1.03(a). St. Xxxxxx shall deliver prompt written notice to Old National of any demands for appraisal of any shares of St. Xxxxxx Common,

- 2 -

 

and Old National shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, St. Xxxxxx shall not, without the prior written consent of Old National, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.
     Section 1.04. Treatment of Stock Options.
     (a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all unvested rights under any stock option granted by St. Xxxxxx (“St. Xxxxxx Xxxxx Options”) pursuant to St. Joseph’s 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the “St. Xxxxxx Option Plan”), that remain outstanding and unexercised, other than the unvested St. Xxxxxx Xxxxx Options held by Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, shall (subject to consummation of the Merger) become fully vested.
     (b) At the Effective Time, all rights under any stock option granted by St. Xxxxxx pursuant to the St. Xxxxxx Option Plan that remain outstanding and unexercised, immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than the options referenced in Section 1.04(c) and 1.04(d) below (“Unexercised Options”), shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of St. Xxxxxx Common and shall be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount (less any applicable withholding taxes) equal to (i) the remaining number of shares of St. Xxxxxx Common subject to the original option, multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration minus the applicable exercise price of the original option (with such calculation used for each individual option).
     (c) At the Effective Time, all rights under the St. Xxxxxx Xxxxx Option granted as part of Grant No. 35 to Xxxx Xxxxxx (representing 900 shares of St. Xxxxxx Common Stock) and Xxx Xxxxx (representing 1,000 shares of St. Xxxxxx Common Stock) pursuant to the St. Xxxxxx Option Plan that become vested pursuant to Section 1.04(a) above, shall be cancelled effective as of the Effective Time and shall contemporaneously be replaced with a fully-vested option to purchase registered Old National Common Stock under the Old National stock option plan (“Old National Replacement Options”) in an amount and at an exercise price determined in this Section 1.04(c) and otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions of the agreements evidencing the original grants of such options. The adjustments provided in this Section 1.04(c) with respect to Old National Replacement Options shall be and is intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code, and the regulations issued thereunder. The duration and other terms of the Old National Replacement Options shall be the same as the original option except that all references to St. Xxxxxx shall be deemed to be references to Old National.
     (d) At the Effective Time, all rights under the St. Xxxxxx Xxxxx Option granted to Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx as part of Grant No. 42 (representing 20,440 shares of St. Xxxxxx Common Stock) pursuant to the St. Xxxxxx Option Plan that are not vested immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled effective as of the Effective Time and shall contemporaneously be replaced with an unvested option to purchase registered Old National Common Stock under the Old National stock option plan (“Unvested Old National Replacement Options”) in an amount and at an exercise price determined in Section 1.04(c) (i.e., in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code and the regulations issued thereunder) and otherwise subject to the same remaining vesting schedule, terms and conditions of the agreements evidencing the original grants of such options.

- 3 -

 

     Section 1.05. Restricted Stock Awards. All then-outstanding shares of St. Xxxxxx Common that have been issued by St. Xxxxxx as compensatory awards, subject to restrictions specified by the award grant documents (“Restricted Stock Awards”), shall (subject to consummation of the Merger) be deemed to be unrestricted, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of St. Xxxxxx Common as of the close of business on the day before the Closing Date, and the holders of such Restricted Stock Awards shall therefore be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration on the same terms and conditions as other holders of St. Xxxxxx Common.
     Section 1.06. The Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place on the Closing Date described in Section 1.08 of this Agreement, and at such time and at such place as the parties may determine.
     Section 1.07. Exchange Procedures; Surrender of Certificates.
     (a) Old National shall appoint an agent for accepting on behalf of Old National the surrender of Certificates formerly representing St. Xxxxxx Common in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”).
     (b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Old National shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of record of the Certificates (each a “Holder”; and collectively, “Holders”) upon the surrender of such Certificates in accordance with this Article I, the aggregate amount of cash payable hereunder as Merger Consideration (without any interest thereon) (the “Exchange Fund”).
     (c) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Old National shall send or cause to be sent to each Holder, transmittal materials for use in exchanging such Holder’s Certificates for the Merger Consideration per share (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent). Old National shall cause the Merger Consideration which such Holder shall be entitled to receive to be paid to such Holder upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, together with the transmittal materials, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto. No interest will accrue or be paid on any such cash to be paid upon such delivery. If any cash payment is to be made in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the making of such cash payment in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Old National and the Exchange Agent that any such taxes have been paid or are not applicable.
     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither of the Exchange Agent, any of the parties hereto nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be liable to any former Holder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. “Law” shall mean any code, law (including common law), ordinance, regulation, rule, or statute applicable to a Person or its assets, liabilities, or business, including those promulgated, interpreted, or enforced by any Governmental Authority.

     (e) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Old National or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Old National or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, Old National or the Exchange Agent shall, in exchange for the shares of St. Xxxxxx Common represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, pay or cause to be paid the amounts of Merger Consideration payable, if any, in respect of the shares of St. Xxxxxx Common formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement.
     (f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Holders of Certificates for six months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Old National (together with any earnings in respect thereof). Any Holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Section 1.07 shall thereafter be entitled to look only to Old National for payment of the consideration deliverable in respect of each share of St. Xxxxxx Common such Holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon.
     (g) The Exchange Agent and Old National shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Holder any cash amounts payable, pursuant to this Agreement, as the Exchange Agent or Old National, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent the amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent or Old National, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent or Old National, as the case may be.
     Section 1.08. The Closing Date. The Closing shall take place on the last business day of the month during which the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) is satisfied, or such other date mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto (the “Closing Date”). Unless the parties otherwise agree, the parties shall use their best reasonable efforts to cause the Effective Time of the Merger to be as of the opening of business on the first day of the calendar month that follows the month in which the Closing occurs.
     Section 1.09. Actions at Closing.
     (a) At the Closing, St. Xxxxxx shall deliver to Old National:

- 30 -

 

immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person that has made or indicated an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined), and request the prompt return or destruction of any information previously furnished to such Person. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, St. Xxxxxx shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any material provision of any confidentiality or standstill or similar agreement to which St. Xxxxxx or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (other than any involving Old National). Subject to the foregoing, during such period, St. Xxxxxx agrees to enforce to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such confidentiality or standstill agreements, including obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court or other tribunal having jurisdiction.
     (b) Except as permitted in this Section 4.12, St. Xxxxxx shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and any of their respective directors, officers and representatives (including Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, Inc.) not to, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or facilitate, or take any other action designed to, or that could reasonably be expected to facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, or (ii) initiate, participate in or knowingly encourage any discussions or negotiations or otherwise knowingly cooperate in any way with any Person regarding an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that, at any time prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval of the Merger by St. Joseph’s stockholders, if St. Xxxxxx receives a bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the St. Xxxxxx Board of Directors (the “St. Xxxxxx Board”) determines in good faith constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal that was not solicited after the date hereof and did not otherwise result from a breach of St. Joseph’s obligations under this Section 4.12, St. Xxxxxx may furnish, or cause to be furnished, non-public information with respect to St. Xxxxxx and its Subsidiaries to the Person who made such proposal (provided that all such information has been provided to Old National prior to or at the same time it is provided to such Person) and may participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such proposal if (A) the St. Xxxxxx Board determines in good faith, and consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to St. Joseph’s stockholders under applicable Law and (B) prior to taking such action, St. Xxxxxx has used its best efforts to enter into a confidentiality agreement with respect to such proposal that is not materially less restrictive than the Confidentiality Agreement and contains a standstill agreement on customary terms. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions contained in the first sentence of this Section 4.12 by any representative of St. Xxxxxx or its Subsidiaries, shall be a breach of this Section 4.12 by St. Xxxxxx.
     (c) Neither the St. Xxxxxx Board nor any committee thereof shall (or shall agree or resolve to) (i) fail to make, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Old National or propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Old National (or take any action inconsistent with) the recommendation by such St. Xxxxxx Board or any such committee of this Agreement or the Merger, or approve or recommend, or propose to recommend, the approval or recommendation of any Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) cause or permit St. Xxxxxx or St. Xxxxxx Bank to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement

- 31 -

 

or other agreement (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”) constituting or related to, or which is intended to or would be reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 4.12(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Stockholder Approval, the St. Xxxxxx Board may, in response to a Superior Proposal, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, provided, that the St. Xxxxxx Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of St. Xxxxxx under applicable Law, and provided, further, that the St. Xxxxxx Board may not effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change unless (A) the St. Xxxxxx Board shall have first provided prior written notice to Old National (an “Adverse Recommendation Change Notice”) that it is prepared to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall, in the case of a Superior Proposal, attach the most current version of any proposed written agreement or letter of intent relating to the transaction that constitutes such Superior Proposal (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new five Business Day period) and (ii) Old National does not make, within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, a proposal that would, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the St. Xxxxxx Board (after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel), cause the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal or that the Adverse Recommendation Change is no longer required to comply with the St. Xxxxxx Board’s fiduciary duties to the stockholders of St. Xxxxxx under applicable Law. St. Xxxxxx agrees that, during the five Business Day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, St. Xxxxxx and its officers, directors and representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Old National and its officers, directors, and representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Old National.
     (d) In addition to the obligations of St. Xxxxxx set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 4.12 St. Xxxxxx shall as promptly as possible, and in any event within two Business Days after St. Xxxxxx first obtains knowledge of the receipt thereof, advise Old National orally and in writing of (i) any Acquisition Proposal or any request for information that St. Xxxxxx reasonably believes could lead to or contemplates an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) any inquiry St. Xxxxxx reasonably believes could lead to any Acquisition Proposal, the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (including any subsequent amendment or other modification to such terms and conditions) and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal or request or inquiry. In connection with any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, if there occurs or is presented to St. Xxxxxx any offer, material change, modification or development to a previously made offer, letter of intent or any other material development St. Xxxxxx (or its outside counsel) shall (A) advise and confer with Old National (or its outside counsel) regarding the progress of negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal, the material resolved and unresolved issues related thereto and the material terms (including material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and (B) promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof provide Old National with true, correct and complete copies of any document or communication related thereto.

     (e) Nothing contained in this Section 4.12 shall prohibit St. Xxxxxx from at any time taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any other disclosure to its stockholders or in any other regulatory filing if, in the good faith judgment of the St. Xxxxxx board of directors, after consultation with their outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of their or St. Joseph’s obligations under applicable Law.
     Section 4.13. St. Xxxxxx Bank Merger. At the request of Old National, St. Xxxxxx shall cooperate with Old National, during the time period prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, in taking all actions that may be necessary (a) to cause its Subsidiary, St. Xxxxxx Bank, to merge with Old National’s subsidiary bank, Old National Bank, and (b) to cause St. Xxxxxx to merge with Old National, in each case promptly following the completion of the Merger.

- 43 -

 

of Old National’s actual and reasonably documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Old National and its affiliates on or prior to the termination of this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Old National Expenses”) as directed by Old National in writing; provided, however, that such Old National Expenses subject to payment by St. Joseph hereunder shall not be greater than Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000); and, provided, further, that the existence of circumstances which could require the Break-Up Fee to become subsequently payable by St. Joseph pursuant to Section 7.02(b)(ii) shall not relieve St. Joseph of its obligations to pay the Old National Expenses pursuant to this Section 7.02(d); and provided, further, that the payment by St. Joseph of Old National Expenses pursuant to this Section 7.02(d) shall not relieve St. Joseph of any subsequent obligation to pay the Break-Up Fee pursuant to Section 7.02(b) except to the extent indicated in Section 7.02(b)(ii).
     (e) In the event that St. Joseph owes the Break-up Fee and/or fees and expenses to Old National pursuant to a termination of this Agreement pursuant to subsections (b)(i), (b)(iii), (e), or (f) of Section 7.01, then the payment of such amounts (together with any costs, expenses, and interest recoverable by Old National as provided in this subsection (e)) pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for those termination events and shall constitute liquidated damages. St. Joseph acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Old National would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if St. Joseph fails promptly to pay the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.02, and, in order to obtain such payment, Old National commences a suit that results in a judgment against St. Joseph for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.02, St. Joseph shall pay to Old National its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit and any appeal relating thereto, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 7.02 at the national prime rate in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.
