On October 23, 2008, the Board of Directors ("Board") of Old National Bancorp (the "Company") adopted a new Code of Conduct that applies to the Company's directors, officers and employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

In addition, a table of contents and an introductory message from the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company supporting the Code and its principles was added to the new Code of Conduct.
The Board's adoption of the new Code of Conduct effectively amends the Company's previous Code of Conduct and does not result in any waiver, explicit or implicit, of any provision of the Company's previous Code of Conduct.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the new Code of Conduct filed herewith as Exhibit 14.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The new Code of Conduct is also available on the Company's website at www.oldnational.com.
