Item 8.01. Other Events
 
On Friday, April 23, 2010 First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (“FMBI”) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary First Midwest Bank (“First Midwest”) acquired certain deposits and assets of Peotone, Illinois-based Peotone Bank and Trust Company (“Peotone Bank”) in a transaction facilitated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  Through this transaction, First Midwest assumed approximately $84 million in deposits and purchased approximately $91 million in assets based on financial data as of March 31, 2010. First Midwest entered into a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC which will cover approximately $56 million of the acquired assets and protect First Midwest from 80% of the net losses on the covered assets.   First Midwest expects to realize an after-tax gain of approximately $2 million on the transaction.
 
The former Peotone Bank had two locations in the western suburbs of Chicago (200 West Corning Avenue, Peotone, Illinois and 5601 Monee Manhattan Road, #111, Monee, Illinois), both of which will operate as branches of First Midwest.  These branches will enhance First Midwest’s footprint in Will County and strengthen the company’s suburban Chicago franchise.
 
A copy of the press release issued by First Midwest regarding the transactions is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.
