Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

1st Source Corporation, the holding company of 1st Source Bank (“1st Source”, NASDAQ: SRCE), and FINA Bancorp, Inc. (“FINA”) jointly announced on February 19, 2007 the execution of a definitive agreement of merger (“Merger Agreement”) in which 1st Source, headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, will acquire FINA in an exchange of cash and stock (“Merger”). FINA, headquartered in Valparaiso, Indiana, operates First National Bank, Valparaiso, a national banking association with 26 offices in Northwest Indiana.

The Merger, approved by the directors of both companies, is valued at approximately $135 million, or $3,206.57 per FINA share. The price represents approximately 196% of book value and 41.5 times 2006 earnings before securities losses. 1st Source will pay a minimum of 40% and a maximum of 42% of the purchase price in shares of 1st Source common stock, and the remainder of the purchase price will be paid in cash. The precise exchange ratio will be established at closing based on 1st Source’s stock price prior to completion of the Merger. FINA shareholders will be able to choose whether to receive 1st Source common stock or cash pursuant to election procedures described in the definitive agreement, subject to 1st Source’s ability to reallocate elections on a proportionate basis. The Merger is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2007.

The Merger is intended to constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference, contains various representations, warranties and covenants of 1st Source and FINA and certain conditions precedent to the merger. Those conditions include (i) the approval of the merger by the shareholders of FINA, (ii) the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and (iii) the satisfaction or waiver of certain other customary closing conditions. 1st Source has obtained the voting agreement of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares to vote in favor of the Merger.

The foregoing description of the merger and the agreement is a summary and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but should be read in conjunction with other information regarding 1st Source and FINA, including any proxy statement or prospectus that may be filed in connection with the Merger, as well as the Forms 10-K, 10-Q and other filings of 1st Source with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Additional Information About This Transaction

1st Source intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-4, which will contain the prospectus of 1st Source relating to the shares to be issued in the merger and the proxy statement of FINA relating to a Special Meeting of Shareholders, at which the Merger Agreement will be considered and voted upon by FINA’s shareholders, as well as other relevant information concerning the Merger. Investors are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus when it becomes available and any other relevant documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission because they will contain important




information. Investors will also be able to obtain the Form S-4 Registration Statement, including the exhibits filed therewith, free of charge at the website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.
