This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to each of the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”) is being filed by First Midwest Bancorp, Inc. (the “Registrant” or “First Midwest”) to terminate all offerings under the Prior Registration Statements and to deregister any and all shares of First Midwest common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), and all unsecured obligations of the Registrant to pay deferred compensation (“Deferred Compensation Obligations”), together with any and all plan interests and other securities registered but unsold as of the date hereof thereunder (note that the Share numbers listed below do not take into account any applicable corporate actions, such as stock splits, that may have been taken in the interim):

On May 30, 2021, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Old National Bancorp (“ONB”), pursuant to which, on February 15, 2022, First Midwest and ONB merged, with ONB continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

In connection with the Merger, First Midwest has terminated all offerings of First Midwest’s securities pursuant to the Prior Registration Statements. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Prior Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 hereby removes from registration all of such securities registered under the Prior Registration Statements that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
