Other Events .

On February 29, 2008, First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that the Company intends to undertake a 1-for-300 reverse stock split, followed immediately by a 300-for-1 forward stock split. The primary purpose and effect of the reverse and forward stock splits is to reduce the number of record holders of the Company’s common stock below 300 so that the Company may terminate the registration of its common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of the reverse stock split, shareholders of record owning fewer than 300 shares of common stock would have such shares converted into the right to receive $14.00 for each share of common stock held prior to the reverse stock split. The press release announcing the approval of the plan to terminate the registration of the Company’s common stock is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report and is furnished herewith.
