This change was prompted by Chairman Larry Dunigan’s decision not to stand for reelection at this annual meeting.

“My 34 years as a director of Old National has been an outstanding experience for me and one that I will treasure,” said Dunigan. “I have tremendous confidence that Becky Skillman and Bob Jones will provide the leadership that takes the company to even greater heights.”

Also on March 14, 2016, the Old National Board elected Old National CEO Bob Jones as Board Chairman, effective at the commencement of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Old National on May 12, 2016.
