ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.

     The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Irwin Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") has scheduled the Corporation's 2007 annual meeting of shareholders for May 9, 2007, which is more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Corporation's annual meeting held in 2006. Accordingly, pursuant to SEC rules, notice is hereby given to shareholders that notwithstanding the deadline for submission for shareholder proposals set forth in the Corporation's proxy statement for the 2006 annual meeting, any proper proposal that a Corporation shareholder wishes to have included in the Corporation's proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2007 annual meeting must be received by the Secretary of the Corporation by March 16, 2007. Any such proposal must meet the requirements set forth in the rules and regulations of the SEC in order to be eligible for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2007 annual meeting. In addition to the SEC rules concerning shareholder proposals that may be included in the Corporation's proxy statement, in order for any proposed business to be brought before the annual meeting of shareholders, other than by or at the direction of the Board, to be considered timely, any shareholder who wishes to submit a proposal to be acted upon at the 2007 annual meeting must deliver written notice of such shareholder's intent to the Secretary of the Corporation not later than March 16, 2007.
