SCOPE OF EVALUATION

General Information

This evaluation covers the period from the prior evaluation dated March 2, 2015, to the current

evaluation dated June 5, 2018. Examiners used the Interagency Large Institution Examination

Procedures to evaluate First Merchants Bank’s (FMB) Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)

performance. These procedures include three tests: the Lending, Investment, and Service Tests.

The Lending Test considered the institution’s performance according to the following criteria.

• Lending activity

• AA concentration

• Geographic distribution

• Borrower profile

• Responsiveness to credit needs of highly economically disadvantaged geographies, low-

income persons, and small businesses

• Community development lending activities

• Product Innovation

The Investment Test considered the following factors.

• Investment and grant activity

• Responsiveness to credit and community development needs

• Community development initiatives

The Service Test considered the following factors.

• Accessibility of delivery systems

• Changes in branch locations

• Reasonableness of business hours and services in meeting the AAs’ needs

• Community development services

Loan Products Reviewed

Home mortgage loans and small business loans were the major loan products used to assess CRA

performance, since those products compose the largest volume of the portfolio and originations.

Based on the March 31, 2018, Report of Condition and Income, commercial lending represented

50.8 percent of total loans, while home mortgage lending equaled 28.7 percent (includes multi-

family). Please refer to the Glossary for definitions of those loan products.

Loan products reviewed for this evaluation are as follows: 2016 and 2017 home mortgage loans

reported under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data collection requirements; and

2016 and 2017 small business and small farm loans reported under the CRA data collection

requirements. The 2016 and 2017 HMDA and CRA loan data is presented in tables in this

evaluation. Community development activities for loans, investments, and services were

reviewed for the period from March 2, 2015, through June 5, 2018. Community development

activities for the acquired banks were reviewed back to the acquisition date of those institutions.

If there are prior period investments with a balance as of the 2018 evaluation date, those

investments would be qualified under the Investment Test. Bank management provided data for

the community development loans, community development investments, and community

development services since the March 2, 2015, CRA Performance Evaluation.

The following table depicts the number and dollar volume of loan products considered in this

evaluation. This table represents all home mortgage, small business, and small farm loans

originated by the bank in 2016 and 2017.

Sources: 2016 and 2017 HMDA, CRA Small Business, and Small Farm Data

Home mortgage lending received the greatest weight in this evaluation, as this lending composed

the majority of originations by number and dollar volume. Separate loan tables are provided for

home mortgage loans by loan purpose including home purchase, refinancings, home

improvement, and multi-family housing. However, home improvement analysis will be

streamlined, consistent with the reduced volume in that product segment. Further, multi-family

housing loans will not be commented upon, as those loans represent a nominal level of the total

activity and analysis would not be meaningful. Small business lending was second in weight

based on the number and dollar volume of originations. Small farm lending received very little

weight, as it had the lowest volume of originations by number and dollar. Small farm lending is

not a major product based upon the number and dollar volume of originations and will only be

discussed in the assessment areas where volume is sufficient to conduct meaningful analysis,

such as the non-metropolitan areas of Indiana.

The loan data presented in this evaluation is representative of the bank’s lending activity over the

entire timeframe under review. Loan data by dollar volume was reviewed for all loan products

but will not be discussed unless there is a difference in the performance that is found by number

volume. Examiners emphasized performance by number of loans because the number of loans is

a better indicator of the number of individuals and businesses served.

The 2010 U.S. Census data collected through a five-year average of the American Community

Survey (ACS) is the demographic data used in this evaluation for the 2016 loan data, while the

2015 ACS data (based on data collected from 2011 through 2015) is used for the 2017 loan data.

If different demographic data was used, the data source has been noted.

Eight separate AAs exist in Indiana (IN), Illinois (IL), and Ohio (OH). There are five AAs in

Indiana, one multi-state (MS) Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) AA with bank offices in both

Indiana and Illinois, one AA in an Ohio MSA, and one MS MSA AA with bank offices in both

Ohio and Indiana. The AAs are as follows: Indianapolis-Carmel-Anderson, IN MSA

(Indianapolis MSA AA); Indiana Non-MSA; Muncie, IN MSA (Muncie MSA AA); Lafayette-

West Lafayette, IN MSA (Lafayette MSA AA); Fort Wayne, IN MSA (Fort Wayne MSA AA)

The rated areas and AAs are listed below with the number of offices; percentage of total deposits

as of June 30, 20171; and percentage of 2017 HMDA and CRA data lending combined. Rated

areas are listed from greatest to least weight assigned to performance. Percentages may not add

to 100.0 due to rounding.

State of Indiana

o Indianapolis MSA AA: 34 offices, 27.0 percent of total deposits, 26.4 percent of

HMDA and CRA lending.

o IN Non-MSA AA: 24 offices, 14.8 percent of total deposits, 19.7 percent of HMDA

and CRA lending.

o Muncie MSA AA: 10 offices, 17.7 percent of total deposits, 7.6 percent of HMDA

and CRA lending.

o Lafayette MSA AA: 8 offices, 8.9 percent of total deposits, 9.9 percent of HMDA

and CRA lending.

o Fort Wayne MSA AA: 10 offices, 0.0 percent of total deposits (these offices acquired

after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending.

Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2 percent of HMDA

and CRA lending.

State of Ohio - Columbus MSA AA: 9 offices, 10.1 percent of total deposits, 12.3

percent of HMDA and CRA lending.

Cincinnati MS MSA AA: 2 offices, 1.0 percent of total deposits, 1.0 percent of HMDA

and CRA lending.

The rated areas were ranked in weight based upon office number, deposit market share, and loan

volume. The State of Indiana receives the most weight, as it contains five of the eight AAs.

Within Indiana, the Indianapolis MSA AA and Indiana Non-MSA AA received full-scope

reviews; while the Muncie MSA AA, Lafayette MSA AA, and Fort Wayne MSA AA received

limited-scope reviews. The two Indiana AAs possessing a combination of a larger number of

offices, deposit market share, and loan volume were chosen for full-scope reviews. Those two

full-scope AAs receive the greatest weight among the Indiana AAs. The Muncie MSA AA is

third in weight in the State of Indiana, followed by the Lafayette MSA AA. The Fort Wayne

MSA AA received the least weight in Indiana due to it being a new AA since the last evaluation

consistent with the July 2017 bank acquisition. FMB had no offices in the Fort Wayne MSA

prior to that acquisition. Abbreviated write-ups are presented for the limited-scope review AAs.

The Chicago MS MSA AA, Columbus MSA AA, and Cincinnati MSA AA received full-scope

reviews, as each of these AAs represents a separate rating area.

DESCRIPTION OF INSTITUTION

Background

FMB is headquartered in Muncie, Indiana, approximately 40 miles from Indianapolis in the

northeastern portion of the state. FMB converted from a national bank to a state nonmember

bank charter on April 15, 2016. Prior to that date, the bank’s primary federal banking regulator

was the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

serves as the federal banking regulator for state nonmember banks.

The bank is owned by First Merchants Corporation, a one-bank holding company located in

Muncie. The bank has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: FMB Portfolio Management,

Inc.; FMB Tax Credit Holdings I, LLC; WHCC, LLC; and FMB-GW87, LLC. Additional

subsidiaries of First Merchants Corporation are as follows: First Merchants Capital Trust II;

FMB Risk Management, Inc.; Grabill Capital Trust; Ameriana Capital Trust; and IAB Risk

Management, Inc. None of the bank subsidiaries or other affiliates originate lending products.

The institution received a Satisfactory rating at its previous CRA Performance Evaluation, dated

March 2, 2015, based on the Large Institution CRA Examination Procedures. That evaluation

was completed by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

Operations

FMB operates 118 banking offices in its AAs. All offices are located in Indiana, Ohio, and

Illinois and are described in each AA section. Forty offices were opened since the previous

evaluation, and 29 offices were closed. Office changes are discussed in the Service Test sections

for each of the individual AAs.

Four bank acquisitions were completed during this evaluation period as detailed below:

Cooper State Bank (C Financial) merger was completed on April 17, 2015. This bank was in

the Columbus MSA.

Ameriana Bank merger was completed on December 31, 2015. This bank’s main office was

in the IN Non-MSA area.

The Arlington Bank merger was completed on May 19, 2017. This bank was in the

Columbus MSA.

IAB Financial Bank merger was completed on July 14, 2017. This bank was in the Fort

Wayne MSA.

The bank offers loan products including commercial, home mortgage, agricultural, and consumer

loans, primarily focusing on home mortgage and commercial loans. Mortgage loan products that

are sold on the secondary market are available. The bank also provides a variety of deposit

services including checking, savings, money market deposit, certificates of deposit, and health

savings accounts. Additionally, the bank offers trust services and investment advisory services.

Alternative banking services are mobile and internet banking, including electronic bill-pay,

automated teller machines (ATMs), telephone banking, and drive-up facilities. The bank

maintains a web site at https://www.firstmerchants.com.

Ability and Capacity

According to the Consolidated Report of Condition dated March 31, 2018, the bank had total assets

of $9,464,323,000; net loans totaling $6,829,745,000; total deposits of $7,363,031,000; and total

equity capital of $1,414,109,000. As of the same date, the net loans-to-total deposits ratio was 92.8

percent, and the net loans-to-total assets ratio was 72.2 percent. The makeup of FMB’s loan portfolio

as of March 31, 2018, is shown in the following table. The major categories of loans as percentages

of the loan portfolio balance are home mortgage at 28.7 percent (includes 1-4 family and multi-

family) and commercial at 50.8 percent. The bank’s loan portfolio mix is representative of its

business strategy and focus. Examiners did not identify any financial, legal, or other impediments

that affect the bank’s ability to meet AA credit needs.

DESCRIPTION OF ASSESSMENT AREAS

The CRA requires each financial institution to define one or more AAs within which its CRA

performance will be evaluated. FMB has designated eight AAs within the States of Indiana, Illinois,

and Ohio. These AAs do not arbitrarily exclude any low- or moderate-income census tracts, do not

reflect illegal discrimination, and otherwise meet the requirements of the CRA regulations.

The following table presents a brief description of each AA, showing the counties, number of census

tracts, and number of offices in each AA. A more detailed discussion of each AA, including

economic and demographic data, competition, and community contacts, can be found in the separate

AA sections of this evaluation. The Kokomo, IN MSA AA ceased to exist when FMB closed its

only office in that MSA in 2015. This AA is not discussed in this evaluation, but other AA changes

are discussed in the individual AA sections.

CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

LENDING TEST

The bank’s performance under the Lending Test is Low Satisfactory.

Lending Activity

Lending levels reflect adequate responsiveness to AA credit needs. The number and dollar

volume of lending by loan product in all AAs are detailed in Tables 1a and 1b in Appendix D.

An adequate volume of lending occurred for each product reviewed. The lending level in each

of the AAs reflected adequate responsiveness to AA credit needs. Please refer to each AA

section for a discussion of the performance for this criterion. For 2016 and 2017 combined,

home mortgage loans equaled 6,077 loans totaling $1,095,159,000, small business loans equaled

3,450 loans totaling $821,179,000, and small farm loans equaled 985 loans totaling

$158,734,000 within all of the AAs.

Assessment Area Concentration

A high percentage of loans are made in the institution’s AAs. The following table details the

lending within the collective AAs for the loan products reviewed. Overall, 85.0 percent by

number and 78.2 percent by dollar volume of the reviewed loan products were within the AAs.

Performance is relatively consistent among the products reviewed.

Geographic Distribution of Loans

The geographic distribution of loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the AAs. This

conclusion is supported by consistent performance in all of the rated areas reviewed with

exception of the Columbus, OH MSA, where performance lagged the overall conclusion. A

complete discussion of the performance for this criterion is in the eight AA sections of this

evaluation.

Borrower Profile

The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the product lines offered by the institution, adequate

penetration among retail customers of different income levels and business customers of

different sizes. This conclusion is supported by consistent performance in all four rated areas

reviewed. A complete discussion of the performance for this criterion is in the eight AA sections

of this evaluation.

Community Development Lending

The institution has made an adequate level of community development loans. Twenty-eight

qualifying community development loans totaling $101,949,000 were funded in the AAs during

this evaluation period. One additional loan totaling $12,000,000 was funded outside the AAs for

community development purposes. The out-of-area loan qualified, as the bank had been found to

be responsive to the community development needs in its AAs. Total community development

loans of $113,949,000 represented 2.2 percent of the bank’s average net loans and 1.6 percent of

average total assets (for the timeframe since the previous evaluation). This level of lending

represents a 256.3 percent increase, by dollar volume, from the $31,984,000 in community

development loans identified at the last evaluation, which represented 1.1 percent of the bank’s

average net loans and 0.7 percent of average total assets.

The bank originated community development loans in six of the eight AAs (Indianapolis MSA,

IN Non-MSA, Muncie MSA, Lafayette MSA, Chicago MS MSA, and Columbus MSA). The

community development loans consist of loans for affordable housing for low- and moderate-

income persons, community services targeted to low- and moderate-income persons, economic

development targeted to low- and moderate-income geographies, and revitalization and

stabilization targeted to low- and moderate-income geographies. The largest volume of

community development loans by number and dollar amount was originated in the Indianapolis

MSA. Each AA’s community development lending is addressed in that area’s section of this

evaluation. No community development loans were originated in the Fort Wayne MSA and the

Cincinnati MS MSA.

The CRA Performance Evaluations were reviewed for 11 other similarly situated financial

institutions which have offices in the various AAs. These 11 institutions had total assets ranging

from $1.6 billion to $5.6 billion. The community development loans-to-average net loans ratios

ranged from a low of 1.2 percent to a high of 16.7 percent for the similarly situated banks.

Product Innovation

The institution uses innovative and flexible lending practices in order to serve AA credit needs.

Flexible home mortgage loan programs offered by the bank include loans insured by the Federal

Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Administration (VA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage

Corporation (Freddie Mac) Home Possible Program, and United States Department of

Agriculture (USDA) Rural Housing Program. The bank also offers home mortgage loans

through the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) and the Ohio

Housing Finance Agency (OHFA). These programs allow for more flexible debt service ratios

and lower down payments than conventional loans, which help low- and moderate-income

individuals attain home ownership. During this evaluation period, the bank originated 1,042

12

loans totaling $128,473,000 through these government-sponsored flexible loan programs in the

AAs.

Other flexible home mortgage loan programs are FMB’s First Home Mortgage Program and

Unsecured Home Improvement Campaign. The First Home Mortgage Program provides 100

percent financing for home purchases with no requirement of private mortgage insurance in all

AAs. The Unsecured Home Improvement Campaign loans have loan amounts up to $5,000 for

properties in low- and moderate-income tracts in all AAs at a discount below the bank’s normal

rates. During this evaluation period, the bank originated 134 First Home Mortgage Program

loans totaling $10,130,000 and 153 Unsecured Home Improvement Campaign loans totaling

$680,000 in the AAs.

Other flexible home mortgage practices include the following grant funding programs: Federal

Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Homeownership Opportunities Program (HOP), FHLB Neighborhood

Impact Program (NIP), and City Down Payment Assistance programs. These grant funding

programs provide low- and moderate-income individuals with grant funds to assist with down

payments and closing costs for first mortgages. These programs allow FMB to originate more

mortgages to low- and moderate-income individuals because the programs provide grants.

During this evaluation period, the bank originated 162 loans assisted by these flexible grant

funding programs totaling $1,214,000 in the AAs.

FMB partners with local developers and community organizations applying for FHLB

Affordable Housing Program (AHP) grants that assist in the purchase, construction, or

rehabilitation of affordable housing units. The primary benefactors of the affordable housing

projects are homeless families, first-time homeowners, and other individuals with limited

financial resources. During this evaluation period, FMB was a partner for the funding of five

grants totaling $2,500,000 to developers and community organizations in the AAs.

Small Business Administration (SBA) lending is the bank’s most significant flexible small

business loan program offered by the bank. SBA borrowers must meet requirements relating to

business size, type of business, use of proceeds, and availability of other capital. In return, the

bank receives a guaranty from the SBA for a portion of the loan. During this evaluation period,

the bank originated 188 SBA loans totaling $53,272,000 in the AAs.

Other flexible loan programs are FMB’s Credit Creator and a Secured Credit Card. The Credit

Creator is a deposit-secured installment loan up to $2,500 that allows individuals to build credit,

because they do not qualify for a traditional loan. While the Credit Creator loan is only available

in the Chicago MS MSA AA, it will be available in all AAs later in 2018. During this evaluation

period, the bank originated 38 Credit Creator loans totaling $43,200. The Secured Credit Card is

a deposit-secured revolving line with a loan amount of at least $300 that allows individuals to

build credit, because they do not qualify for a traditional loan. FMB refers these credit card

applications to a third party; therefore, they are not reflected in the table below or in the AA

tables. During this evaluation period, FMB referred 1,020 Secured Credit Card originated loan

applications to the third party.

13

FMB also offers programs to restructure loan terms for borrowers to avoid foreclosure or

repossession. During this evaluation period, the bank restructured 87 secured loans totaling

$6,300,000 in the AAs.

INVESTMENT TEST

The bank’s performance under the Investment Test is Low Satisfactory.

Investment and Grant Activity

FMB has an adequate level of qualified community development investments and grants,

although rarely in a leadership position. Investments totaled $78,477,000 (excluding donations)

of which $69,930,000 are new investments since the prior evaluation. FMB has purchased

qualifying investments in all eight AAs with the majority being located in the Indianapolis MSA

AA. Donations totaled $856,000 of which $77,000 was outside of the AAs.

Of the $78,477,000 investment figure, $6,000,000 consists of investments benefiting the bank’s

AAs and a broader regional area ($2,000,000 is targeted to Indiana, while the remaining

$4,000,000 is for multiple states in the AAs). Further, three investments totaling $3,040,000

(new in this evaluation period) were made outside of the bank’s AAs. Those out-of-area

investments were qualified, as the bank was responsive to the community development needs

within the AAs. Qualified donations and investments funded since the previous evaluation were

considered under this test, as were qualifying investments purchased prior to this evaluation that

are still outstanding.

The dollar amount of qualified investments represented 1.1 percent of the bank’s average total

assets and 5.9 percent of the bank’s average total securities since the prior evaluation. As a point

of comparison, at the previous evaluation, qualified investments totaled $18,871,000 and

represented 0.4 percent of the bank’s average total assets and 2.0 percent of average total

securities.

14

The bank’s level of investment and grant activity is comparable to other similarly situated banks.

Specifically, 11 similarly situated banks were identified with total assets ranging from $1.6

billion to $5.6 billion and evaluated under the CRA during the current review period. These

similarly situated banks had total qualified investments to average total average asset ratios

ranging from a low of 0.2 percent to a high of 2.1 percent. FMB’s ratio of 1.1 percent was near

the middle of those institutions and was consistent with those having an adequate level of

qualified investment activity.

The Muncie MSA AA and the Lafayette MSA AA were reviewed using limited-scope

procedures, and it was noted that the performance for those two AAs was below that of the full-

scope review areas in the State of Indiana. However, the deficiencies in these areas were not

sufficient to negatively impact the overall CRA performance for the Investment Test.

Responsiveness to Credit and Community Development Needs

The institution exhibits adequate responsiveness to credit and community economic development

needs. The types of qualified investments held by the bank directly respond to the AAs’

community development needs. As discussed more specifically in the Credit and Community

Development Areas Needs and Opportunities sections later in this document, affordable housing,

economic development, and community services for low- and moderate-income persons were

cited as primary needs within the AAs. FMB’s qualified investment activities are focused in

these three areas.

Community Development Initiatives

The institution does not use innovative or complex investments to support community

development initiatives. None of the investments had innovative or complex characteristics.

The investments were of the type typically supported by other similarly situated banks in the

AAs.

15

SERVICE TEST

A “Low Satisfactory” rating is assigned under the Service Test. The Service Test evaluates an

institution's record of helping to meet the credit needs of its AAs by analyzing both the

availability and effectiveness of the institution's systems for delivering retail banking services

and the extent and innovativeness of its community development services. The Fort Wayne

MSA AA was reviewed using limited-scope procedures, and the performance in this AA was

below that of the full-scope AAs in the State of Indiana. However, deficiencies in this area were

not sufficient to impact the overall CRA performance of the Service Test. FMB entered the Fort

Wayne MSA AA in July 2017 due to bank acquisition.

Accessibility of Delivery Systems

Delivery systems are reasonably accessible to essentially all portions of the institution’s AAs. In

addition to the main office, FMB currently maintains 117 branches.

Low-income tracts contain 9.7 percent of the total population located within the combined AAs,

3.4 percent of the bank’s offices, and 3.6 percent of the bank’s ATMs. Moderate-income tracts

contain 23.5 percent of the total population located within the combined AAs, 18.6 percent of

FMB’s offices, and 17.4 percent of the bank’s ATMs. This overall distribution is reasonable.

The distribution for each AA is discussed within each specific AA section.

FMB’s alternative delivery systems include 138 proprietary ATM locations within its AAs.

FMB has a total of 49 deposit-taking ATMs. Two of the deposit-taking ATMs are located in

low-income tracts and ten are located in moderate-income tracts. FMB also has four non-deposit

taking ATMs located outside of the AAs. None of the four ATMs outside of the AAs are in a

low- or moderate-income census tract.

As mentioned previously, a Kokomo MSA AA was maintained at the prior evaluation, but has

since been removed as a result of FMB closing the only branch within that MSA in 2015. This

closed branch was located in a moderate-income tract and is not reflected in the table above.

16

This branch was open for a small portion of the evaluation period. The scope of the evaluation

does not include performance in the Kokomo MSA.

In addition to branches and proprietary ATM locations, FMB offers a variety of alternative

methods for customers to access banking products and services, which are detailed as follows.

Internet banking – Through the bank’s website (www.firstmerchants.com), customers can

access various internet-banking services. These services allow customers 24-hour access to

transaction and account information. The bank’s customers can view loan and deposit

account information, make payments, review account transactions and histories, transfer

funds between FMB accounts, request stop payments, verify deposits, set text alerts for

various account activity, access eStatements and personal finance tools, and e-mail questions

to the bank employees.

Mobile Banking – FMB offers a free FMB Mobile app for smart phones and tablets.

Customers can deposit checks, find FMB branches and ATMs, view balances, transfer funds,

and pay bills. This app can be used with all FMB checking account types and may benefit

underbanked consumers. Based on an FDIC Survey (2014), underbanked consumers are

more likely than fully banked or unbanked consumers to have smart phones and underbanked

consumers are more likely to engage in mobile banking than the fully banked (31 percent

versus 24 percent of these populations, respectively, have used mobile banking).

Remote deposit service – This service allows businesses the ability to make deposits any

time, save time preparing deposits, consolidate funds from remote locations into the bank,

and cut courier costs or trips to the bank.

Social Media – FMB maintains a social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and

YouTube. FMB uses social media to distribute information relating to fundraising initiatives,

community events, giveaways, and financial education.

Text banking – This service allows bank customers 24-hour access to information on

checking accounts, savings accounts, and transaction assistance.

Workplace Banking – This is an FMB program in which bank employees visit local

employers to educate the employees on deposit accounts and other financial literacy topics.

The bank also offers direct deposit, wire transfer services, safe deposit boxes, night depository,

notary, lock box, courier services, and merchant services. In addition, full brokerage, trust, and

agri-business services are offered at the bank.

Changes in Branch Locations

To the extent changes have been made, the institution’s opening and closing of branches has

generally not adversely affected the accessibility of its delivery systems, particularly in low- or

moderate-income geographies or to low- or moderate-income individuals. FMB has acquired or

opened 40 and closed 29 branches in its AAs during the current evaluation period. The new

offices by census tract income category are as follows: 5 branches in moderate-income tracts, 18

branches in middle-income tracts, 16 branches in upper-income tracts, and 1 in a tract with no

income designation. Branch closures by census tract income category are as follows: 2 in

moderate-income tracts, 19 in middle-income tracts, 7 in upper-income tracts, and 1 in a tract

with no income designation.

17

Reasonableness of Business Hours and Services

Services, (including, where appropriate, business hours) do not vary in a way that

inconveniences portions of the AA, particularly low- or moderate-income geographies or

individuals. Products and services are offered consistently throughout the branch network, and

while retail hours vary to some degree by branch, the variances do not adversely impact low- and

moderate-income geographies.

FMB offers a deposit account directed to low- and moderate-income people titled the Simple

Access Checking. The Simple Access Checking account is designed to help customers with a

poor deposit account history rebuild their financial health. FMB opened 531 of these accounts

during the evaluation period.

Community Development Services

The institution provides an adequate level of community development services. Bank personnel

work with organizations that provide community development services. Examples of

community development services include serving on boards of and providing financial expertise

to qualifying community organizations, providing banking and financial education services, and

counseling.

When bank personnel serve on boards and committees involving ongoing participation in

meetings and activities, this is reflected as one service. The following table details the

community development services that FMB has engaged in since the previous evaluation in its

AAs. A summary of the community development services since the previous evaluation is

presented in each AA.

SCOPE OF EVALUATION

Five AAs exist in the State of Indiana. Full-scope evaluations were completed for the

Indianapolis MSA AA and the Indiana Non-MSA AA. Limited-scope evaluations were

completed for the Muncie MSA, Lafayette MSA, and Fort Wayne MSA AAs. The Indianapolis

MSA AA and the Indiana Non-MSA AA contain the majority of branches, deposits, and loans

within the Indiana AAs; thus, those two AAs received the most weight in the overall evaluation

of performance in the State of Indiana.

CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA IN INDIANA

LENDING TEST

Lending Activity

Lending levels reflect adequate responsiveness to AA credit needs. Lending activity was adequate

within all five AAs in the State of Indiana.

Page 25: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

20

Geographic Distribution

The geographic distribution of loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the AAs. This

conclusion was consistent with performance in all five AAs within the State of Indiana.

Borrower Profile

The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the product lines offered by the institution, adequate

penetration among retail customers of different income levels and business customers of different

sizes. This conclusion was consistent with performance in all five AAs within the State of Indiana.

Community Development Loans

FMB made an adequate level of community development loans in the Indiana AAs. This

conclusion is consistent with the performance exhibited in all five AAs.

Product Innovation

The institution uses innovative and flexible lending practices in order to serve the Indiana AA’s

credit needs. During the evaluation period, the bank originated 472 FHA loans totaling

$55,469,000; 207 USDA Rural Housing Program totaling $20,359,000; 142 SBA loans totaling

$43,373,000; and 109 VA loans totaling $19,006,000. These are the most notable examples of

the bank’s use of flexible lending programs in the Indiana AAs. Additionally, FMB originated

loans using the First Home Mortgage Program, IHCDA, Unsecured Home Improvement

Campaign, and Freddie Mac Home Possible programs. FMB also partnered with FHLB HOP,

FHLB AHP, FHLB NIP, and Cities Down Payment Assistance grant programs. The following

table summarizes the bank’s flexible and innovative lending activities in the Indiana AAs during

the evaluation period.

INVESTMENT TEST

Investment and Grant Activity

The institution has an adequate level of qualified community development investments and grants,

although rarely in a leadership position. The State of Indiana contains 63.3 percent of all qualified

Page 26: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

21

investments and donations inside the bank’s AAs, which is relatively consistent with the

concentration of deposits in this rated area. Total investments of $47,747,000 (includes the

$2,000,000 statewide investment previously mentioned) and donations of $553,000 are within the

State of Indiana. This conclusion is consistent with the bank’s performance in the Indiana Non-

MSA AA. While performance in the Indianapolis MSA AA was stronger, this was mitigated by

weaker performance in the Muncie and Lafayette MSA AAs.

Responsiveness to Credit and Community Development Needs

The institution exhibits adequate responsiveness to the credit and community economic development

needs. Investments were made primarily to support affordable housing, economic development, and

community services for low- and moderate-income persons. All three purposes were noted as

significant needs in all five Indiana AAs.

Community Development Initiatives

The institution does not use innovative or complex investments to support community development

initiatives. All investments are of the varieties that are typically supported by similarly situated

banks.

SERVICE TEST

Accessibility of Delivery Systems

Delivery systems are reasonably accessible to essentially all portions of the institution’s Indiana

AAs. In addition to the main office, FMB currently maintains 85 branches in the AAs within the

State of Indiana. Except for the Fort Wayne MSA AA, the bank has a reasonable penetration for

its offices throughout the remaining Indiana AAs. FMB has 2 branches located in low-income

tracts and 17 branches in moderate-income tracts. In addition to the 19 branches located within

low- or moderate-income tracts, there are 28 branches located within tracts of other income

categories that are contiguous to a low- or moderate-income tract. This further provides

individuals in low- and moderate-income tracts with reasonable accessibility to FMB’s delivery

systems. In addition to 101 ATMs, the bank offers other alternative delivery systems which

make banking services accessible through the customer call center, telephone banking, and

online banking.

Changes in Branch Locations

To the extent changes have been made, the institution’s opening and closing of branches has

generally not adversely affected the accessibility of its delivery systems, particularly in low- and

moderate-income census tracts or to low- and moderate-income individuals. Thirty-one branches

were opened or acquired in the Indiana AAs as follows: 11 in the Indianapolis MSA, 8 in Non-

MSA Indiana, and 12 in the Fort Wayne MSA (numbers are prior to any closing of acquired

offices). Of those acquired branches, two are located in moderate-income census tracts.

Twenty-five offices were closed during this evaluation period with two closures occurring in

moderate-income tracts. One of the acquired branches in an Indianapolis MSA moderate-income

tract was closed shortly after the acquisition due to the existence of an FMB location within the

same census tract. One branch located in a moderate-income tract was closed in the Lafayette

MSA. FMB has a branch location less than 1.5 air miles from that closed branch in another

moderate-income tract. Both of these branch closures in moderate-income tracts have a limited

impact on the accessibility of delivery systems to individuals in the area.

Services, (including, where appropriate, business hours) do not vary in a way that

inconveniences portions of the Indiana AAs, particularly low- or moderate-income geographies

and/or individuals. The same services and products are available at branches throughout the

AAs. Most branches have drive-up services, 24-hour ATMs, and Saturday hours. Branch hours

are convenient and comparable to other local financial institutions.

Community Development Services

The institution provides an adequate level of community development services. This conclusion

is based on available opportunities, the number of bank employees in the five AAs, the

involvement in community development service activities, and the bank’s presence in the AAs.

The qualified services in the State of Indiana represent 58.8 percent of the bank’s total. A

STATISTICAL AREA

Full-Scope Review

DESCRIPTION OF INSTITUTION’S OPERATIONS IN INDIANAPOLIS-

CARMEL-ANDERSON, INDIANA MSA #26900

FMB operates 34 branches in the Indianapolis MSA AA and provides the full range of products

and services offered by the bank. Refer to the Service Test discussion for details regarding the

bank’s operations and any changes over the review period.

The Indianapolis MSA AA consists of the following counties: Brown, Hamilton, Hancock,

Hendricks, Johnson, Madison, Marion, Morgan, and Shelby. These counties are a portion of the

Indianapolis MSA, which is located in central Indiana. This AA consists of whole geographies,

does not arbitrarily exclude low- and moderate-income areas, and includes all of the geographies

where the bank’s offices and deposit-taking ATMs are located. Hancock and Marion Counties

were added to the AA at the beginning of 2016 due a branch opening and a bank acquisition.

Economic and Demographic Data

This AA includes all 380 census tracts in the aforementioned counties. These tracts reflect the

following income designations according to the 2015 ACS:

67 low-income tracts,

103 moderate-income tracts,

120 middle-income tracts,

88 upper-income tracts, and

2 tracts no income category assigned.

The 2010 U.S. Census data is the data used as a comparison for loan data prior to 2017. The

census tract income designations according to the 2010 U.S. Census are as follows:

Page 29: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

24

51 low-income tracts,

106 moderate-income tracts,

139 middle-income tracts,

83 upper-income tracts, and

1 census tract with no income designation.

Changes in the census tract income category designations occurred between the 2010 U.S.

Census and the 2015 ACS. The total number of census tracts remained the same; however, the

low-income census tracts increased by 16, moderate-income tracts decreased by 3, and no-

income-category tracts increased by 1.

The vast majority of the low- and moderate-income census tracts are in Marion County. The

following table provides a summary of the demographics, housing, and business information

within the AA.

According to June 2017 economic information from Moody’s Analytics, the Indianapolis MSA

economy is well diversified and offers a low-cost business environment. The housing market is

affordable even with increasing home values. Single-family housing permits have risen each year

and were 67 percent greater in 2017 as compared to 2011. Indianapolis is becoming a regional tech

hub with a talented employee base, attracting new tech employers and enjoying the expansion of

existing ones. Location is a plus for the logistics industry due to the MSA’s central U.S. location,

and transportation and warehousing industrial expansion continues. The largest employment sectors

in the MSA are education and health services (14.5 percent), retail trade (10.5 percent), government

(12.5 percent), leisure and hospitality services (10.3 percent), and professional and business services

(16.1 percent).

The April 2018 unemployment rates2 for the counties in the AA are as follows: Brown – 2.6

percent, Hamilton – 2.3 percent, Hancock – 2.6 percent, Hendricks – 2.4 percent, Johnson – 2.5

percent, Madison – 3.4 percent, Marion – 3.0 percent, Morgan – 3.0 percent, and Shelby – 2.6

percent. All of the counties’ unemployment rates were comparable to the 3.2 percent Indiana

statewide rate. Unemployment rates remained stable during this evaluation period for all of the

counties in the AA.

The AA’s economy relies heavily upon small businesses. According to 2017 D&B data, 118,028

non-farm businesses are located in the AA. In addition, 67.4 percent of the businesses have 4 or

fewer employees, and 87.5 percent operate from a single location. Gross annual Revenues (GARs)

for these businesses are reflected below.

82.1 percent have $1 million and less.

6.5 percent have more than $1 million.

11.5 percent have unknown revenues.

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC)-updated median family income is

used to analyze home mortgage loans under the Borrower Profile criterion. The low-, moderate-,

Competition

The AA is moderately competitive for financial services. According to the FDIC Deposit

Market Share data as of June 30, 2017, 44 financial institutions operated 515 full-service offices

within the AA. FMB ranked eleventh in market share in the AA, holding 3.4 percent of all

deposits.

26

Furthermore, there is a high level of competition for home mortgage loans and small business

loans within the AA. In 2016, 574 lenders subject to HMDA data collection reported 73,463

home mortgage loans originated or purchased. FMB was ranked 21st in this group of lenders

with a 1.1 percent market share. In 2016, 129 lenders subject to large bank CRA data collection

reported 32,274 small business loans originated or purchased, with FMB ranked twelfth and a

1.8 percent market share.

Community Contact

As part of the evaluation process, examiners contact third parties active in the AA to assist in

identifying the credit and community development needs. This information helps determine

whether local financial institutions are responsive to these needs. It also shows what credit and

community development opportunities are available.

One new contact with an economic development group was conducted for the AA. This contact

emphasized the continued need for small business lending and financial education for business

owners. There are entities in the Indianapolis MSA that offer support to existing business

owners and start-ups for education and business plans. Banks can partner with these entities to

ensure that the small business community is strengthened through those programs. Working

with several entities that develop affordable housing, the contact confirmed the need for

additional affordable housing in the Indianapolis area.

Credit and Community Development Needs and Opportunities

Considering information from the community contact, bank management, and demographic and

economic data, examiners determined that small business lending and home mortgage lending

represent primary credit needs in the AA. While economic performance in the AA is generally

strong and no major unmet credit needs were identified, the large number of small businesses in

the area reflects a continued demand to originate small business loans.

Furthermore, examiners reviewed recent CRA Performance Evaluations for four other financial

institutions that operate in the Indianapolis MSA. From these CRA Performance Evaluations

and demographic information, examiners also determined that affordable housing, community

services, economic development, revitalization and stabilization, and job creation remain as

community development needs in the AA.

CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA IN INDIANAPOLIS

MSA

LENDING TEST

Lending Activity

Lending levels reflect adequate responsiveness to AA credit needs. The number and dollar

volume of lending by loan product in this AA are detailed in Tables 1a and 1b in Appendix D.

An adequate volume of lending occurred for each product reviewed. The home mortgage

lending allowed the AA residents to purchase homes and refinance existing mortgages to achieve

Page 32: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

27

lower interest rates and to obtain funds to fulfill housing-related needs. Small business lending

was supported by FMB and assisted those entities in providing jobs and services for AA

residents. Loans reported on FMB’s HMDA and small business loan data, respectively, equaled

1,421 loans totaling $262,050,000 in 2016 and 1,221 loans totaling $237,068,000 in 2017.

Geographic Distribution

The geographic distribution of loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the AA. The

reasonable performance exhibited by the home mortgage and small business loans supports this

conclusion.

Home Mortgage Loans

The geographic distribution of home mortgage loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the aggregate data and the owner-occupied housing

level. Tables 2a through 4b in Appendix D detail home purchase, home improvement, and

refinance loans by census tract income level.

Purchase lending in 2016 in the low-income census tracts exceeded the aggregate by 1.1

percentage points and was 2.2 percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In

2017, lending was 2.6 percentage points below the aggregate and was 5.2 percentage points less

than the owner-occupied housing level in that tract income category. Purchase lending in 2016

in the moderate-income census tracts exceeded the aggregate by 3.0 percentage points and was

1.8 percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017, lending exceeded the

aggregate by 2.0 percentage points and was 0.2 percentage points less than the owner-occupied

housing level in that tract income category.

Refinancings in 2016 in the low-income census tracts were 0.9 percentage points below the

aggregate and were 4.4 percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017,

lending was 2.4 percentage points below the aggregate and 5.8 percentage points less than the

owner-occupied housing level in that tract income category. In the moderate-income tracts,

refinancings in 2016 were 1.2 percentage points and 9.3 percentage points less than the aggregate

and the owner-occupied housing level, respectively. In 2017, lending was 1.6 percentage points

above the aggregate and 1.3 percentage points less than the owner-occupied housing level in that

tract income category.

While activity was significantly smaller relative to the other home mortgage categories,

performance in the home improvement product was consistent with the home purchase and

refinance product lines. More specifically, weaker performance in the low-income geographies

relative to demographic and aggregate comparisons was mitigated by stronger performance in

the moderate-income tract segment, yielding adequate performance.

Small Business Loans

The geographic distribution of small business loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the business population and the aggregate data. The

Page 33: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

28

lending activity is shown in Tables 6a and 6b in Appendix D. Lending in 2016 in the low-

income census tracts exceeded the aggregate by 0.3 percentage points. The bank’s lending was

comparable to the business population in the low-income tracts for both 2016 and 2017. In the

moderate-income census tracts, lending was 3.7 percentage points above the 2016 aggregate.

The 2016 lending slightly exceeded the business population in the moderate-income census

tracts, but declined to 3.8 percentage points below it in 2017. However, the bank’s lending in the

moderate-income census tracts was reasonable, as it compared favorably to the aggregate results

in 2016 (2017 aggregate was not available). Not all of the businesses will seek loans each year;

therefore, the aggregate activity is a better reflection of loan demand for the corresponding year.

The comparison to the aggregate data supports reasonable performance for small business loans.

Borrower Profile

The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the product lines offered by the institution, adequate

penetration among retail customers of different income levels and business customers of

different sizes. The conclusion was supported by consistent performance in both product lines.

Home Mortgage Loans

The distribution of home mortgage loans is adequate to borrowers of different income levels.

This is based upon a comparison to the family population by income level and the aggregate

data. Tables 8a through 10a in Appendix D detail home purchase, home improvement, and

refinance loans by borrower income level.

Home purchase lending in 2016 to low-income borrowers exceeded the aggregate by 3.3

percentage points and was 8.4 percentage points below the low-income family population. In

2017, lending exceeded the aggregate by 3.7 percentage points and was 8.0 percentage points

less than the low-income family population. The lending for both years was lower than the low-

income family population. However, this disparity can be largely attributed to the families that

live below the poverty level (9.5 percent in 2010 U.S. Census and 11.0 percent in 2015 ACS

data). Due to their limited financial resources, families with incomes below the poverty level

generally do not have the capacity to support a home mortgage, limiting the demand and

opportunity for lending to low-income borrowers. Purchase lending in 2016 to moderate-income

borrowers was 2.1 percentage points below the aggregate and was 5.2 percentage points above

the moderate-income family population. In 2017, lending exceeded the aggregate by 0.8

percentage points and was 7.1 percentage points greater than the moderate-income family

population.

Refinancings in 2016 to low-income borrowers were 2.2 percentage points above the aggregate

and were 12.4 percentage points below the low-income family population. In 2017, lending was

0.3 percentage points below the aggregate and 12.6 percentage points less than the low-income

family population. As previously mentioned, the disparity between the bank’s lending and the

low-income family population is largely attributed to the families that live below the poverty

level. To moderate-income borrowers, refinancings in 2016 were 0.9 percentage points and 1.9

percentage points less than the aggregate and the moderate-income family population,

Page 34: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

29

respectively. In 2017, lending was 0.1 percentage points below aggregate and 3.3 percentage

points above the moderate-income family population.

While activity was significantly smaller relative to the other home mortgage categories,

performance in the home improvement product was stronger that that exhibited in the home

purchase and refinance product lines. More specifically, the 2016 performance among low-

income borrowers and 2017 performance among moderate-income borrowers significantly

exceeded the aggregate market results. However, the limited volume in this product was not

sufficient to drive the overall home mortgage conclusion beyond adequate performance.

Small Business Loans

The distribution of small business loans is adequate among businesses of different sizes based

upon a comparison to the aggregate data. Tables 11a and 11b in Appendix D detail the

distribution of small business loans by gross annual revenue category. Lending to entities with

gross annual revenues of $1 million and less was 5.9 percentage points above the aggregate in

2016. The bank’s lending for both years was below the business population with gross annual

revenues of $1 million and less; however, the business population only reflects the businesses in

that revenue category, not necessarily the percentage seeking loans. Not all businesses will seek

loans on an annual basis, and some will not borrow at all. The bank’s performance is reasonable,

as the bank’s lending exceeds the aggregate data in 2016 (2017 aggregate not available).

Further, the aggregate lending is a better indicator of loan demand in that revenue category.

Importantly, the bank’s lending percentage to the $1 million and less revenue category remained

stable between 2016 and 2017.

Community Development Lending

The bank originated an adequate level of community development loans. Nine community

development loans totaling $35,813,000 were originated during this evaluation period,

representing 35.1 percent of the total qualified lending originated in the AAs during the

evaluation period. In 2018, the bank originated a $14,120,000 loan for the purchase and

rehabilitation of an apartment complex that has designated all 252 units for Section 42 low-

income housing. Economic development loans were originated in the amounts of $1,300,000

and $3,012,000 for manufacturing facilities which resulted in many new jobs for low- and

moderate-income residents. A community contact noted that the Indianapolis MSA was in need

of affordable housing funding, economic development, and revitalization and stabilization.

These large loans directly address the needs identified by the community contact. The following

table depicts the community development loans for this evaluation period.

Product Innovation

The institution uses innovative and flexible lending practices in order to serve AA credit needs.

During the evaluation period, the bank originated 208 FHA loans totaling $28,630,000; 102 SBA

loans totaling $33,873,000; and 54 VA loans totaling $11,687,000. These are the most notable

examples of the bank’s use of flexible lending programs in this AA. Additionally, FMB

originated loans using the First Home Mortgage Program, IHCDA, Unsecured Home

Improvement Campaign, USDA Rural Housing Program, and Freddie Mac Home Possible

programs. FMB also partnered with FHLB HOP, FHLB AHP, FHLB NIP, and City of Anderson

Down Payment Assistance grant programs. The following table summarizes the bank’s flexible

and innovative lending activities in this AA during the evaluation period.

INVESTMENT TEST

Investment and Grant Activity

The institution has a significant level of qualified community development investments and

grants, occasionally in a leadership position. As shown in the table below, investments totaled

$33,380,000 in this AA, of which $31,304,000 are new investments since the prior evaluation.

This level of investments is an increase of over 465 percent from the prior evaluation and

represents 43.8 percent of the total qualified investments in the bank’s AAs. Donations of

$100,000 were made to different groups that provide services to low- or moderate-income

Responsiveness to Credit and Community Development Needs

The institution exhibits adequate responsiveness to credit and community economic development

needs. The bank financed 22 investments that support affordable housing, which is a salient

need in this AA. More specifically, FMB purchased 14 new mortgage-backed securities totaling

$16,193,000 that support affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. FMB also

purchased three tax revenue bonds totaling $5,336,000 that support local schools that primarily

serve low- and moderate-income student populations. These investments promoted affordable

housing and community services. Affordable housing, job creation, community services, and

economic development were needs identified by examiners in a review of economic and

demographic information. The bank’s investments addressed some of those needs.

Community Development Initiatives

The institution does not use innovative or complex investments to support community

development initiatives. None of the investments had innovative or complex characteristics.

The investments were of the type typically supported by other similarly situated banks in the AA.

SERVICE TEST

Accessibility of Delivery Systems

Delivery systems are reasonably accessible to essentially all portions of the AA. The percentage

of the bank’s offices within the low- and moderate-income census tracts is reasonable when

compared to distribution for other lenders and to the population percentages in those tract income

categories. In addition to the nine branches located within low- or moderate-income tracts, there

are nine branches located within middle- or upper-income tracts contiguous to a low- or

Page 37: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

moderate-income tract. This further provides individuals in low- and moderate-income tracts

with reasonable accessibility to FMB’s delivery systems. In addition to 37 ATMs, the bank

offers other alternative delivery systems such as the customer call center, telephone banking,

mobile banking, and online banking.

Changes in Branch Locations

To the extent changes have been made, the institution’s opening and closing of branches has

generally not adversely affected the accessibility of its delivery systems, particularly in low- and

moderate-income geographies or to low- and moderate-income individuals. FMB acquired ten

AA branches due to a merger in 2015. Four of the acquired branches were closed soon after the

acquisition, including the lone closure in a moderate-income tract. This branch was closed due

to an existing FMB location within the same census tract. This closure did not have a material

impact on the accessibility of its delivery systems to individuals in the area. In addition to the

four acquired branches that were closed, FMB closed ten additional branch locations in the AA.

All ten of these locations were in middle- or upper-income tracts. In 2016, FMB opened a

branch in Marion County located in an upper-income tract.

Reasonableness of Business Hours and Services

Services (including, where appropriate, business hours) do not vary in a way that inconveniences

portions of the AA, particularly low- or moderate-income geographies or individuals. The same

services and products are available at branches throughout the AA. Most branches have drive-up

services, 24-hour ATMs, and Saturday hours. Branch hours are convenient and comparable to

other local financial institutions.

Community Development Services

The institution provides an adequate level of community development services. A total of 90

qualified service activities were made in the AA, representing 24.0 percent of the bank’s total

service activity. Bank personnel work with organizations that provide qualifying community

The following are examples of community development services provided by the bank in this

AA:

FMB partners with local developers and community organizations applying for FHLB AHP

grants that assist in the purchase, construction, or rehabilitation of affordable housing units.

The primary benefactors of the affordable housing projects are homeless families, first-time

homeowners, and other individuals with limited financial resources. Several FMB

employees are administrators for these FHLB AHP grants. The role of the FMB employees

as administrator is to develop annual reports for the FHLB that are required in order to

maintain the continuation of grant funds.

A banking center manager served as a director for a health care provider that offers services

primarily for low- and moderate-income individuals. The health care provider accepts all

individuals regardless of their ability to pay and operates five health care centers in the AA.

Two FMB employees conducted weekly financial literacy presentations to inmates at a

county jail in the AA. The goal of the presentations was for the inmates to gain meaningful

skills to obtain quality employment and maintain financial responsibility after release from

incarceration.

A commercial banking manager serves as a director of a coalition that performs research to

determine the most effective methods to lower homelessness in the AA.

INDIANA NON-MSA AREA Full-scope Review

DESCRIPTION OF INSTITUTION’S OPERATIONS IN THE INDIANA

NON-MSA

FMB operates 24 branches in the IN Non-MSA AA and provides a full range of products and

services. Refer to the Service Test discussion for details regarding the bank’s operations and any

changes over the review period.

The Non-MSA AA consists of the following whole counties: Adams, Clinton, Fayette, Henry,

Huntington, Jay, Marshall, Miami, Montgomery, Randolph, Wabash, Wayne, and White. This

AA consists of whole geographies, does not arbitrarily exclude low- and moderate-income areas,

and includes all of the geographies where the bank’s offices and deposit-taking ATMs are

located. In July 2017, Huntington and Marshall Counties were added to the AA due to a bank

acquisition.

Economic and Demographic Data

This AA includes 123 census tracts. These tracts reflect the following income designations

according to the 2015 ACS:

1 low-income tract,

25 moderate-income tracts,

86 middle-income tracts, and

11 upper-income tracts.

The 2010 U.S. Census data is the data used as a comparison for loan data prior to 2017. The

census tract income designations according to the 2010 U.S. Census are as follows:

0 low-income tracts,

22 moderate-income tracts,

84 middle-income tracts, and

17 upper-income tracts.

Changes in the census tract income category designations occurred between the 2010 U.S.

Census and the 2015 ACS. The total number of census tracts remained the same; however, the

low-income census tracts increased by one, and moderate-income tracts increased by three.

The low-income tract is in Wayne County and the moderate-income tracts are dispersed among

11 of the AA counties. The following table provides a summary of the demographics, housing,

and business information within the AA.

The economy in this assessment area has remained stable since the previous evaluation. The largest

employment sectors in the Non-MSA AA are services (38.7 percent), retail trade (14.0 percent),

construction (7.2 percent), and manufacturing (5 percent). The April 2018 unemployment rates for

AA counties are the following: Adams – 2.2 percent, Clinton – 2.5 percent, Fayette – 4.1 percent,

Henry – 3.1 percent, Huntington – 3.1 percent, Jay – 2.9 percent, Marshall – 2.7 percent, Miami –

3.6 percent, Montgomery – 2.5 percent, Randolph – 3.5 percent, Wabash – 2.9 percent, Wayne – 3.2

percent, and White – 2.7 percent. The unemployment level in all of the counties was comparable to

or less than the 3.2 percent IN statewide rate, except Fayette County’s rate was 0.9 percentage points

above it.

The AA’s economy relies heavily upon small businesses. According to 2017 D&B data, 23,673

non-farm businesses are located in the AA. In addition, 70.2 percent of the businesses have 4 or

fewer employees, and 85.9 percent operate from a single location. GARs for these businesses are as

follows.

79.2 percent have $1 million and less.

5.7 percent have more than $1 million.

15.1 percent have unknown revenues.

Competition

The assessment area is moderately competitive for financial services. According to the FDIC

Deposit Market Share data as of June 30, 2017, 45 financial institutions operated 181 full-service

offices within the AA. FMB ranked second in market share, holding 11.4 percent of all deposits.

Furthermore, there is a high level of competition for home mortgage loans and small business

loans within the AA. In 2016, 342 lenders reported 11,195 home mortgage loans originated or

purchased. FMB ranked second in this group of lenders, with a 4.9 percent market share. In

2016, 90 lenders subject to large bank CRA data collection reported 5,268 small business loans

originated or purchased, with FMB ranked eighth and a 3.4 percent market share.

Community Contact

As part of the evaluation process, examiners contact third parties active in the assessment area to

assist in identifying the credit and community development needs. This information helps

determine whether local financial institutions are responsive to these needs. It also shows what

credit and community development opportunities are available.

Examiners completed one community contact for this assessment area with a government-

sponsored housing program. The contact spoke favorably of area banks and noted that they have

worked with the contact’s programs and originated loans in each of the 23 counties served by the

program (eight of which overlapped with the AA). Affordable housing is a need in this area, and

the local banks are meeting that loan demand.

Credit and Community Development Needs and Opportunities

Considering information from the community contact, bank management, and demographic and

economic data, examiners determined that small business lending and home mortgage lending

represent primary credit needs in the assessment area. While economic performance in the

assessment area is generally strong and no major unmet credit needs were identified, the large

number of small businesses in the area reflects a continued demand for small business loans.

Furthermore, examiners reviewed recent CRA Performance Evaluations for five other financial

institutions that operate in the AA. Through these CRA Performance Evaluations, examiners

also determined that affordable housing, economic development, and community services remain

as community development needs in the assessment area.

CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA IN INDIANA NON-

MSA

LENDING TEST

Lending Activity

Lending levels reflect adequate responsiveness to AA credit needs. The number and dollar

volume of lending by loan product in this AA is detailed in Tables 1a and 1b in Appendix D. An

adequate volume of lending occurred for each product reviewed. The home mortgage lending

allowed the AA residents to purchase homes and refinance existing mortgages to achieve lower

interest rates and to obtain funds to fulfill housing-related needs. Small business lending was

supported by FMB and assisted those entities in providing jobs and services for AA residents.

Loans reported on FMB’s HMDA and small business loan data, respectively, equaled 723 loans

totaling $84,989,000 in 2016 and 738 loans totaling $85,242,000 in 2017. This AA maintained

the largest concentration of small farm loans (140 and 205 loans in 2016 and 2017, respectively);

therefore, performance in this product segment was evaluated.

Geographic Distribution of Loans

The geographic distribution of loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the AA. While the

small farm lending was weak, the reasonable performance exhibited by the more heavily

weighted home mortgage and small business loans supports this conclusion. Home mortgage

loans are the major loan product in this AA, and greater weight is placed upon that performance.

Small business lending receives less weight, as it has fewer originations by number and dollar.

While representing the largest concentration of small farm loans among all of the AAs, these

loans received the least amount of weight, as the volume was the lowest among the three product

types.

Home Mortgage Loans

The geographic distribution of home mortgage loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the aggregate data and the owner-occupied housing

level. Tables 2a through 4b in Appendix D detail the home purchase, refinance, and home

improvement loans by census tract income level.

Changes occurred in the census tract income category in 2017 due to the use of the ACS data.

No low-income census tracts had existed prior to 2017, but one was created beginning in 2017

(based upon the ACS data). The number of moderate-income census tracts increased by three in

2017 accompanied by an 11.4 percent increase in owner-occupied housing units.

Purchase lending in 2017 was 0.5 percent in the low-income tract, which was 0.3 percentage

points above the aggregate and 0.2 percentage points above the owner-occupied housing level.

Purchase lending in 2016 in the moderate-income census tracts was 1.8 percentage points below

the aggregate and was 2.6 percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017,

Page 43: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

38

lending was 4.7 percentage points below the aggregate and 4.3 percentage points less than the

owner-occupied housing level in that tract income category. The actual percentage of lending in

the moderate-income tracts remained stable between the two years at 10.2 percent in 2016 and

10.8 percent in 2017. The owner-occupied housing level increased to 15.0 percent in 2017 due

to the use of the ACS data (was 12.9 percent in 2010 U.S. Census).

Refinancings were 0.4 percent in the low-income tract in 2017, which was 0.2 percentage points

above aggregate and 0.1 percentage points above the owner-occupied housing level. In the

moderate-income tracts, refinancings in 2016 were 0.2 percentage points above the aggregate

and 3.5 percentage points less than the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017, lending was 5.7

percentage points below aggregate and 9.4 percentage points less than the owner-occupied

housing level in that tract income category. The percentage of lending declined to 5.7 percent in

2017 from 9.4 percent in 2016.

The bank’s lending was reasonable in comparison to the 2016 aggregate in moderate-income

census tracts for both products and to the 2017 aggregate for purchase loans. Lending

performance was also reasonable in comparison to the 2017 aggregate in the low-income tract

for both products. As discussed previously, the aggregate activity is a better reflection of loan

demand. Performance is adequate based upon consistent performance to the aggregate data. In

addition, the bank’s lending compares reasonably to the owner-occupied housing level for both

products with the exception of 2017 refinancings in moderate-income tracts. However, the

refinancing performance overall is reasonable.

While activity was smaller relative to the other home mortgage categories, performance in the

home improvement product was stronger that that exhibited in the home purchase and refinance

product lines. More specifically, the 2016 performance in moderate-income tracts significantly

exceeded the aggregate market results, while 2017 performance slightly outpaced the

corresponding aggregate data. While no home improvement lending was originated in low-

income tracts, as discussed previously, opportunities were nominal. While results were good in

this loan category, the limited volume in this product was not sufficient to drive the overall home

mortgage conclusion beyond adequate performance.

Small Business Loans

The geographic distribution of small business loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the business population and the aggregate data. The

lending activity is shown in Tables 6a and 6b in Appendix D. As previously stated, no AA low-

income census tracts existed in 2016. In 2017, lending was 1.0 percent in low-income tracts,

which was 0.8 percentage points below the business population. In the moderate-income census

tracts, lending in 2016 was 4.3 percentage points below the aggregate. Lending for both years

was less than the business population in the moderate-income census tracts. However, the

bank’s lending in the moderate-income census tracts was within a reasonable range of the

aggregate results in 2016 (2017 not available). Not all of the businesses will seek loans each

year; therefore, the aggregate activity is a better reflection of loan demand for the corresponding

year.

39

FMB’s overall small business market share is similar to its market share in the moderate-income

tracts. In the moderate-income tracts, FMB was ranked tenth with a 2.5 percent market share in

2016. The bank’s figures in the moderate-income census tracts were similar to its overall

ranking of eighth with a 3.4 percent market share. Only performance in the moderate-income

AA tracts in 2016 could be analyzed in this manner due to the absence of low-income tracts in

2016 and no aggregate data in 2017.

Small Farm Loans

The geographic distribution of small farm loans reflects poor penetration throughout the AA.

This is based upon a comparison to the farm population and the aggregate data. The lending

activity is shown in Tables 7a and 7b in Appendix D. As stated, no AA low-income census

tracts existed in 2016. In 2017, no small farm lending was originated in low-income tracts;

however, the farm population was nominal at 0.03 percent. In the moderate-income census

tracts, lending in 2016 trailed both aggregate results and the percentage of farms, by 1.4 and 2.2

percentage points, respectively. In 2017, the bank’s small farm lending in moderate-income

tracts remained below 1.0 percent and continued to trail the comparable demographic.

Borrower Profile

The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the product lines offered by the institution, adequate

penetration among retail customers of different income levels and business customers of

different sizes. While performance was good in the small farm and business lending segments,

this conclusion is supported by performance in the more heavily weighted home mortgage

segment.

Home Mortgage Loans

The distribution of home mortgage loans is adequate to borrowers of different income levels.

This is based upon a comparison to the family population by income level and the aggregate

data. Tables 8a through 10b in Appendix D detail home mortgage loans by borrower income

level.

Purchase lending in 2016 to low-income borrowers exceeded the aggregate by 4.1 percentage

points and was 3.3 percentage points below the low-income family population. In 2017, lending

was 0.7 percentage points higher than aggregate and 7.7 percentage points less than the low-

income family population. The lending for both years was lower than the low-income family

population. However, this disparity can be largely attributed to the families that live below the

poverty level (10.2 percent in 2010 U.S. Census and 11.6 percent in 2015 ACS data). Due to

their limited financial resources, families with incomes below the poverty level generally do not

have the capacity to support a home mortgage, limiting the demand and opportunity for lending

to low-income borrowers. Purchase lending in 2016 to moderate-income borrowers was 2.9

percentage points below the aggregate and was 10.5 percentage points above the moderate-

income family population. In 2017, lending was 0.3 percentage points below the aggregate and

12.4 percentage points above the moderate-income family population.

Page 45: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

40

Refinancings in 2016 to low-income borrowers was 0.8 percentage points above the aggregate

and was 7.8 percentage points below the low-income family population. In 2017, lending was

0.4 percentage points below the aggregate and 8.8 percentage points less than the low-income

family population. As previously mentioned, the disparity between the bank’s lending and the

low-income family population is largely attributed to the families that live below the poverty

level. To moderate-income borrowers, refinancings in 2016 were 1.0 percentage points and 3.0

percentage points above the aggregate and the moderate-income family population, respectively.

In 2017, lending was 8.2 percentage points above aggregate and 12.2 percentage points above

the moderate-income family population. Performance for this criterion is adequate based upon

reasonable comparisons to the aggregate data and the family population by income level for the

home purchase and refinance products.

While activity was significantly smaller relative to the other home mortgage categories,

performance in the home improvement product was stronger that that exhibited in the home

purchase and refinance product lines. More specifically, while moderate-income results were

relatively consistent with comparative demographic and aggregate market data, the 2016 and

2017 performance among low-income borrowers significantly exceeded the aggregate market

results. However, the limited volume in this product was not sufficient to drive the overall home

mortgage conclusion beyond adequate performance.

Small Business Loans

The distribution of small business loans is good among businesses of different sizes based upon a

comparison to the aggregate data. Tables 11a and 11b in Appendix D detail the distribution of

small business loans by gross annual revenue category. Lending to entities with gross annual

revenues of $1 million and less was 10.6 percentage points above the aggregate in 2016 (2017

not available). The bank’s lending for both years was below the business population with gross

annual revenues of $1 million and less; however, the business population only reflects the

businesses in that revenue category, not necessarily the percentage seeking loans. Not all

businesses will seek loans on an annual basis, and some will not borrow at all. Coverage of the

lower revenue segment remained fairly steady between to two years, declining slightly in 2017.

Also, the bank originated a majority of its loans in amounts $100,000 or less (56.4 and 60.1

percent in 2016 and 2017, respectively), which provides additional support of the institution’s

focus on small businesses. The bank’s performance is good, as the bank’s lending is much

higher than the aggregate data, which is a reliable indicator of loan demand in that revenue

category.

Small Farm Loans

The distribution of small farm loans is good among farms of different sizes based upon a

comparison to the aggregate data. Tables 12a and 12b in Appendix D detail the distribution of

small farm loans by gross annual revenue category. Lending to entities with gross annual

revenues of $1 million and less was 20.7 percentage points above the aggregate in 2016 (2017 is

not available). Further, the bank’s 2017 performance improved incrementally. The bank’s

lending for both years was below the farm population with gross annual revenues of $1 million

Page 46: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

41

and less; however, the aggregate is a better indicator for the demand for lending, as not all farms

will seek loans on an annual basis and some will not borrow at all.

Community Development Lending

The bank has made an adequate level of community development loans. Three community

development loans totaling $12,178,000 were originated during this evaluation period,

representing 11.9 percent of the total CD lending originated within all of the bank’s AAs. In

2016, the bank originated a $6,430,000 loan for the construction of a 52-unit building that was

fully dedicated to Section 42 affordable housing. This project was located in a moderate-income

tract. In 2015, the bank originated a $4,500,000 loan for the construction of a 40-unit building

that provided affordable housing to senior citizens. This project was also located in a moderate-

income tract. A community contact noted that the IN Non-MSA AA was in need of more

affordable housing, as well as revitalization and stabilization through attracting new businesses.

These large loans directly address the needs identified by the community contact. The table

Product Innovation

The institution uses innovative and flexible lending practices in order to serve AA credit needs.

During the evaluation period, the bank originated 139 USDA loans totaling $13,099,000; 70

FHA loans totaling $7,861,000; and 23 VA loans totaling $2,532,000. These are the most

notable examples of the bank’s use of flexible lending programs in this AA. Additionally, FMB

originated loans using the Unsecured Home Improvement Campaign, SBA, First Home

Mortgage Program, IHCDA, and Freddie Mac Home Possible programs. FMB also partnered

with the FHLB HOP, FHLB AHP, and FHLB NIP grant programs. The following table

summarizes the bank’s flexible and innovative lending activities in this AA during the evaluation

period.

INVESTMENT TEST

Investment and Grant Activity

The institution has an adequate level of qualified community development investments and

grants, although rarely in a leadership position. Investments totaled $3,151,000 in this AA, all of

which were funded during this evaluation period. This level of investments is an increase of

over 324 percent from the prior evaluation and represents 4.1 percent of the total community

development investments made by the bank within its AAs. The rural nature of this AA results

in fewer opportunities for investments. The increase in community development investments

corresponds to the bank’s increased presence in this AA. Donations of $26,000 were made to

different groups that provide services to low- or moderate-income persons and areas, as well as

to promote affordable housing. The following table details the investments in this AA.

Responsiveness to Credit and Community Development Needs

The institution exhibits an adequate responsiveness to credit and community economic

development needs. The bank maintains three investments with an affordable housing purpose

pertinent to the needs of its AA. More specifically, FMB purchased three mortgage-backed

securities totaling $482,000. FMB also invested $1,858,000 in a school bond that supported

community services for low- and moderate-income students. Both affordable housing and

community services were identified as community development needs with a review of

demographic and economic information. The bank’s investments addressed those needs.

Community Development Initiatives

The institution does not use innovative or complex investments to support community

development initiatives. None of the investments had innovative or complex characteristics.

The investments were of the type typically supported by other similarly-situated banks in the

AA.

SERVICE TEST

Accessibility of Delivery Systems

Delivery systems are reasonably accessible to essentially all portions of the AA. FMB has no

branches located in the low-income tract and four branches in moderate-income tracts. The

bank’s percentage of bank offices by tract income category is reasonable in comparison to the

population percentages and offices of other lenders in the low- and moderate-income census

tracts. FMB has seven branches located within middle- or upper-income tracts contiguous to a

moderate-income tract. This provides individuals in the moderate-income tracts with reasonable

accessibility to FMB’s delivery systems. In addition to 27 ATMs, the bank offers other

alternative delivery systems such as the customer call center, telephone banking, mobile banking,

and online banking.

Changes in Branch Locations

To the extent changes have been made, the institution’s opening and closing of branches has

improved the accessibility of its delivery systems, particularly in low- and moderate-income

geographies or to low- and moderate-income individuals. Due to acquiring two institutions with

Page 49: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

44

offices in the AA since the prior evaluation, FMB acquired three branches in 2015 and five

branches in 2017. One of the eight acquired branches is located in a moderate-income tract.

One of the branches acquired in 2015 was closed soon after the acquisition because there was

already an existing FMB branch located within the same census tract. This branch closure was

in a middle-income tract. One of the branches acquired in 2017 was also closed soon after the

acquisition. This branch was a limited-service drive up in a middle-income tract. The limited-

service drive up was located in close proximity to a full-service branch within the same census

tract. In addition to the two acquired branches that have been closed, FMB has also closed five

additional branches since the prior evaluation. All five branches were located in middle-income

tracts.

Reasonableness of Business Hours and Services

Services, (including, where appropriate, business hours) do not vary in a way that

inconveniences portions of the AA, particularly low- or moderate-income geographies or

individuals. The same services and products are available at branches throughout the AA. Most

branches have drive-up services, 24-hour ATMs, and Saturday hours. Branch hours are

convenient and comparable to other local financial institutions.

Community Development Services

The institution provides an adequate level of community development services. Overall, the 45

services in this AA represent 12.0 percent of the bank’s qualified activity. Bank personnel work

with organizations that provide qualifying community development services. A summary of the

community development services since the previous evaluation is illustrated in the following

table.

CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA IN FORT WAYNE MSA

LENDING TEST

The institution’s Lending Test performance in the entire Fort Wayne MSA AA is consistent with

the performance in the full-scope AAs in the State of Indiana. Please refer to the tables in

Appendix D which provide quantitative details for Lending Activity, Geographic Distribution of

Loans, and Borrower Profile. The institution has made no community development loans in this

AA. Data for the Product Innovation criterion are shown in the following tables.

INVESTMENT TEST

Investment Test performance in the Fort Wayne MSA AA is consistent with FMB’s performance

in the full-scope AAs. Investments totaled $6,318,000 in this AA ($6,284,000 in investments

and $34,000 in donations) and all of it was funded during this evaluation period. The percentage

of investments in this area was similar to the percentage of offices and deposits in this area.

SERVICE TEST

FMB’s Service Test performance in the Fort Wayne MSA AA is weaker than its service

performance in the AAs within the State of Indiana that were reviewed using full-scope

evaluation procedures; however, it does not change the Service Test conclusion for the State of

Indiana. The bank’s branch distribution in low- and moderate-income areas trails the

demographics, and it has performed a limited number of community development services in this

AA. There was only one community development service (in 2018 within community services

category) since FMB designated this AA in July 2017. Information regarding the branch

distribution in this AA is detailed in the following table.

FMB operates 21 branches in the Chicago MS MSA AA and provides the full range of products

and services offered by the bank. Refer to the Service Test discussion for details regarding the

bank’s operations and any changes over the review period.

The entire AA is part of the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN-WI MS MSA. The AA consists of

the following: all of Jasper, Lake, and Porter Counties in Indiana and a portion of Cook and

DuPage Counties in Illinois. The Illinois Counties are part of the Chicago-Naperville-Arlington

Heights, IL Metropolitan District (MD), and the Indiana Counties are part of the Gary, IN MD.

This AA consists of whole geographies, does not arbitrarily exclude low- and moderate-income

areas, and includes all of the geographies where the bank’s offices and deposit-taking ATMs are

located. This AA has existed for the entire evaluation period.

Economic and Demographic Data

This AA includes 448 census tracts. These tracts reflect the following income designations

according to the 2015 ACS:

59 low-income tracts,

121 moderate-income tracts,

153 middle-income tracts,

113 upper-income tracts, and

2 tracts with no income category assigned.

The 2010 U.S. Census data is the data used as a comparison for loan data prior to 2017. The

census tract income designations according to the 2010 U.S. Census are as follows:

46 low-income tracts,

129 moderate-income tracts,

165 middle-income tracts,

106 upper-income tracts, and

2 census tracts with no income category assigned.

Changes in the census tract income category designations occurred between the 2010 U.S.

Census and the 2015 ACS. The total number of census tracts remained the same; however, the

low-income census tracts increased by 13, and moderate-income tracts decreased by 8.

According to June 2017 economic information from Moody’s Analytics, the Gary MD economy

offers a lower-cost environment as compared to Chicago. The housing market has experienced

increasing home prices and sales, and single-family housing permits have risen each year since 2011.

Positive attributes include federal spending on infrastructure supporting the domestic steel industry

in Gary MD, and infrastructure improvements and location increase Gary MD’s importance as a

regional distribution hub. The largest employment sectors in the Gary MD are education and health

services (18.3 percent), retail trade (12.4 percent), government (12.5 percent), leisure and hospitality

services (11.7 percent), and manufacturing (13.0 percent).

The Chicago MD remains a major location for industry including the financial sector, transportation,

and distribution. High quality universities help to create a large and well-trained work force for

employers. Financial strain of the Illinois state and local governments has put some stress on the

area. The approval of a state budget for the first time in two years is a positive step for the state

financial situation, and it will help to address financial liabilities. The largest employment sectors in

the Chicago MD are professional and business services (18.6 percent), education and health services

(15.8 percent), government (11.3 percent), and leisure and hospitality services (10.0 percent).

The April 2018 unemployment rates9 in the AA are as follows: Indiana counties – 4.4 percent in

Lake, 3.4 percent in Jasper, and 3.4 percent in Porter; and Illinois counties – 3.7 percent in Cook

and 2.8 percent in DuPage. Jasper and Porter Counties had rates comparable to the 3.2 percent

Indiana statewide rate, while Lake County exceeded it by over 1 percentage point. The Illinois

statewide rate of 4.4 percent exceeded the rates for both Illinois counties. Unemployment rates

remained stable during this evaluation period for all of the counties in the AA.

The AA’s economy relies heavily upon small businesses. According to 2017 D&B data, 95,194

non-farm businesses are located in the AA. In addition, 68.1 percent of the businesses have 4 or

fewer employees, and 87.7 percent operate from a single location. GARs for these businesses are

shown below.

83.1 percent have $1 million and less.

5.9 percent have more than $1 million.

11.1 percent have unknown revenues.

The FFIEC-updated median family income is used to analyze home mortgage loans under the

Borrower Profile criterion. The low-, moderate-, middle-, and upper-income categories are

Competition

The AA is highly competitive for financial services. According to the FDIC Deposit Market

Share data as of June 30, 2017, 141 financial institutions operated 1,973 full-service offices

within the whole counties in the AA. This five-county area differs from the bank’s AA, as the

AA includes only parts of Cook and DuPage Counties. FMB was ranked 27th in market share in

the five-county area, holding 0.4 percent of all deposits.

Furthermore, there is a high level of competition for home mortgage loans and small business

loans within the AA. In 2016, 630 lenders subject to HMDA data collection reported 58,347

home mortgage loans originated or purchased. FMB was ranked 45th in this group of lenders

with a 0.6 percent market share. In 2016, 200 lenders subject to large bank CRA data collection

reported 170,709 small business loans originated or purchased, with FMB ranked 46th and a 0.1

percent market share.

Community Contact

As part of the evaluation process, examiners contact third parties active in the AA to assist in

identifying the credit and community development needs. This information helps determine

whether local financial institutions are responsive to these needs. It also shows what credit and

community development opportunities are available.

One recent contact with a community development group was reviewed for the AA. This contact

emphasized the continued need for small business lending and affordable housing. This area has

a large number of customers that want to rent rather than buy, and the level of affordable rentals

is low.

Credit and Community Development Needs and Opportunities

Considering information from the community contact, bank management, and demographic and

economic data, examiners determined that small business lending and home mortgage lending

represent primary credit needs in the AA. While economic performance in the AA is generally

strong and no major unmet credit needs were identified, the large number of small businesses in

the area reflects a continued demand for small business loans.

Furthermore, examiners reviewed recent CRA Performance Evaluations for five other financial

institutions that operate in the Chicago MS MSA. From these CRA Performance Evaluations

and demographic information, examiners also determined that affordable housing, community

services, economic development and job creation remain as community development needs in

the AA.

LENDING TEST

Lending Activity

Lending levels reflect adequate responsiveness to AA credit needs. The number and dollar

volume of lending by loan product in this AA are detailed in Tables 1a and 1b in Appendix D.

An adequate volume of lending occurred for each product reviewed. The home mortgage

lending allowed the AA residents to purchase homes and refinance existing mortgages to achieve

lower interest rates and to obtain funds to fulfill housing-related needs. Small business lending

was supported by FMB and assisted those entities in providing jobs and services for AA

residents. Loans reported on FMB’s HMDA and small business loan data, respectively, were

522 loans totaling $109,526,000 in 2016 and 454 loans totaling $95,268,000 in 2017. Given the

demographics and opportunities in the area, small farm lending was relatively limited in this AA

and is not specifically analyzed.

Geographic Distribution of Loans

The geographic distribution of loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the AA. This

conclusion is based upon the adequate performance in both home mortgage and small business

lending products.

Home Mortgage Loans

The geographic distribution of home mortgage loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the aggregate data and the owner-occupied housing

level. Tables 2a through 4b in Appendix D detail home purchase, home improvement, and

refinance loans by census tract income level.

Changes occurred in the census tract income category in 2017 due to the use of the ACS data.

The number of low-income census tracts increased by 13 in 2017 with a 22.3 percent increase in

owner-occupied housing units. The number of moderate-income census tracts decreased by

eight in 2017 accompanied by an 8.0 percent decrease in owner-occupied housing units.

Purchase lending in 2016 in the low-income tracts was 0.1 percentage points above the aggregate

and 2.5 percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017, lending was 0.2

percentage points below the aggregate and 2.8 percentage points below the owner-occupied

housing level. Purchase lending in 2016 in the moderate-income census tracts was 3.1

percentage points above the aggregate and was 5.9 percentage points below the owner-occupied

housing level. In 2017, lending was 7.6 percentage points below the aggregate and 14.5

percentage points less than the owner-occupied housing level in that tract income category. The

actual percentage of lending in the moderate-income tracts declined from 16.4 percent in 2016 to

6.8 percent in 2017. The owner-occupied housing level decreased to 21.4 percent in 2017 due to

the use of the ACS data (was 22.3 percent in 2010 U.S. Census). The percentage decline in

lending activity helped to create the 14.5 percentage point difference between lending and the

owner-occupied housing level in 2017.

Refinancings in 2016 in the low-income tracts were 0.2 percentage points below the aggregate

and 2.8 percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017, refinancings were

0.9 percentage points above aggregate and 1.6 percentage points below the owner-occupied

housing level. In the moderate-income tracts, refinancings in 2016 were 2.3 percentage points

below the aggregate and 13.2 percentage points less than the owner-occupied housing level. In

2017, lending was 9.5 percentage points below aggregate and 16.5 percentage points less than

the owner-occupied housing level in that tract income category. The percentage of lending

declined to 4.9 percent in 2017 from 9.1 percent in 2016. As previously mentioned, the owner-

occupied housing level percentage decreased in the moderate-income tracts. This percentage

decline in lending activity helped to create the 16.5 percentage point difference between lending

and the owner-occupied housing level in 2017.

While activity was smaller relative to the other home mortgage categories, performance in the

home improvement product was stronger that that exhibited in the home purchase and refinance

product lines. More specifically, the 2016 and 2017 performance in both low- and moderate-

Page 66: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

61

income tracts significantly exceeded the aggregate market results, particularly in 2016 when 62.3

percent of the bank’s home improvement lending was extended in the two lowest income

segments. While the volume was limited relative to the two other categories, excellent results in

the home improvement lending category helped mitigate more modest home purchase and

refinance results in the moderate-income tracts for 2017.

Small Business Loans

The geographic distribution of small business loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the business population and the aggregate data. The

lending activity is shown in Tables 6a and 6b in Appendix D. Lending in 2016 in the low-

income census tracts was 1.1 percentage points less than the aggregate. The bank’s lending was

slightly below the business population in the low-income tracts for both 2016 and 2017. In the

moderate-income census tracts, lending in 2016 was 1.0 percentage points above the aggregate.

The 2016 lending was slightly less than the business population in the moderate-income census

tracts and declined to 7.6 percent below it in 2017. However, the bank’s lending in the

moderate-income census tracts was reasonable, as it compared favorably to the aggregate results

in the only year available where market data was available. Not all of the businesses will seek

loans each year; therefore, the aggregate activity is a better reflection of loan demand for the

corresponding year. The comparison to the aggregate data (only 2016 data available) supports

reasonable performance for small business loans.

FMB’s overall market share was similar to its market share in low- and moderate-income census

tracts. FMB was ranked 44th

in the low-income census tracts in 2016 with a 0.1 percent market

share. In the moderate-income tracts, FMB was ranked 49th

with a 0.1 percent market share in

2016. The bank’s figures in the low- and moderate-income census tracts were similar to its

overall ranking of 46th

with a 0.1 percent market share.

Borrower Profile

The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the product lines offered by the institution, adequate

penetration among retail customers of different income levels and business customers of

different sizes. This conclusion is supported by consistent performance in home mortgage and

small business lending product lines.

Home Mortgage Loans

The distribution of home mortgage loans is adequate to borrowers of different income levels.

This is based upon a comparison to the family population by income level and the aggregate

data. Tables 8a through 10b in Appendix D detail home mortgage lending by borrower income

level.

Purchase lending in 2016 to low-income borrowers was 2.6 percentage points above the

aggregate and was 10.1 percentage points below the low-income family population. In 2017,

purchase lending was 0.2 percentage points above aggregate and 14.5 percentage points less than

the low-income family population. The lending for both years was lower than the low-income

Page 67: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

62

family population. However, this disparity can be largely attributed to the families that live

below the poverty level (10.1 percent in 2010 U.S. Census and 12.0 percent in 2015 ACS data).

Due to their limited financial resources, families with incomes below the poverty level generally

do not have the capacity to support a home mortgage, limiting the demand and opportunity for

lending to low-income borrowers. Purchase lending in 2016 to moderate-income borrowers was

3.8 percentage points below the aggregate and was 4.9 percentage points above the moderate-

income family population. In 2017, lending was 2.9 percentage points below aggregate and 5.5

percentage points above the moderate-income family population.

Refinancings in 2016 to low-income borrowers were 0.2 percentage points below the aggregate

and were 15.6 percentage points below the low-income family population. In 2017, lending was

3.0 percentage points above aggregate and 12.3 percentage points less than the low-income

family population. As previously mentioned, the disparity between the bank’s lending and the

low-income family population is largely attributed to the families that live below the poverty

level. To moderate-income borrowers, refinancings in 2016 were 6.4 percentage points and 3.6

percentage points above the aggregate and the moderate-income family population, respectively.

In 2017, lending was 4.4 percentage points below aggregate and 3.1 percentage points below the

moderate-income family population. Performance is adequate for both products based upon an

adequate comparison to the aggregate and the family population by income level.

While activity was significantly smaller relative to the other home mortgage categories,

performance in the home improvement product was much stronger that that exhibited in the

home purchase and refinance product lines. The performance in both income segments (low-

and moderate-income borrowers) exceeded the aggregate and demographic comparisons for both

years – in most cases by a significant margin. However, the limited volume in this product was

not sufficient to drive the overall home mortgage conclusion beyond adequate performance.

Small Business Loans

The distribution of small business loans is adequate among businesses of different sizes based

upon a comparison to the aggregate data. Tables 11a and 11b in Appendix D detail the

distribution of small business loans by gross annual revenue category. Lending to entities with

gross annual revenues of $1 million and less was 5.0 percentage points above the aggregate in

2016 (2017 not available). The bank’s lending for both years was below the business population

with gross annual revenues of $1 million and less; however, the business population only reflects

the businesses in that revenue category, not necessarily the percentage seeking loans. Not all

businesses will seek loans on an annual basis and some will not borrow at all. The bank’s

performance is reasonable, as the bank’s lending exceeds the aggregate data. Further, the

aggregate lending is a better indicator of loan demand in that revenue category and the ratios of

loans to lower revenue businesses were steady for the two years reviewed.

Community Development Lending

The bank has made an adequate level of community development loans. Eight community

development loans totaling $18,554,000 were originated during this evaluation period. This

volume represents 18.2 percent of the bank’s total qualified lending activity originated within the

Page 68: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

63

bank’s AAs. In 2016, the bank originated a $7,500,000 term loan which provided community

development services in the form of an innovative network of neighborhood primary health care

centers. Three of the five centers are located in low- or moderate-income tracts, and the other

two are located in tracts that are adjacent to low- or moderate-income tracts, making them

accessible to low- or moderate-income persons. Also, in 2017, the bank originated two loans

totaling $2,547,000 for the purchase and rehabilitation of a 26-unit multi-family housing project.

This project is located in a low-income census tract, and 20 of the units are reserved for Section

8 housing. A community contact noted that the Chicago MS MSA AA was in need of

community development, as well as affordable housing. These large loans directly address the

needs identified by the community contact. The table below depicts the community development

loans for this evaluation period.

Product Innovation

The institution uses innovative and flexible lending practices in order to serve AA credit needs.

During the evaluation period, the bank originated 45 FHA loans totaling $6,291,000; 28 SBA

loans totaling $5,119,000; and 38 Credit Creator loans. These are the most notable examples of

the bank’s use of flexible lending programs in this AA. Additionally, FMB originated loans

using the Unsecured Home Improvement Campaign, First Home Mortgage Program, VA loans,

USDA Rural Housing, and Freddie Mac Home Possible programs. FMB also partnered with the

FHLB HOP, FHLB AHP, FHLB NIP, City of East Chicago Down Payment Assistance, and City

of Hammond Down Payment Assistance grant programs. The following table summarizes the

bank’s flexible lending activities in the AA during the evaluation period.

INVESTMENT TEST

Investment and Grant Activity

The institution has an adequate level of qualified community development investments and

grants, although rarely in a leadership position. As shown in the table below, investments totaled

$12,936,000 in this AA, of which $12,028,000 are new investments since the prior evaluation.

This level of investments reflects a significant increase over the prior evaluation and represents

16.3 percent of the bank’s total qualified investment activity. Donations of $75,000 were made

to different groups that provide services to low- or moderate-income persons and areas, support

affordable housing, and promote job growth and economic development.

Responsiveness to Credit and Community Development Needs

The institution exhibits an adequate responsiveness to credit and community economic

development needs. FMB purchased nine new mortgage-backed securities totaling $11,953,000

that support affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. Affordable housing

and community services were needs identified by examiners in a review of economic,

demographic, and community contact information. The bank’s investments addressed those

needs.

Community Development Initiatives

The institution does not use innovative or complex investments to support community

development initiatives. None of the investments had innovative or complex characteristics.

The investments were the type typically supported by other similarly-situated banks in the AA.

SERVICE TEST

Accessibility of Delivery Systems

Delivery systems are reasonably accessible to essentially all portions of the AA. The percentage

of the bank’s offices in low-income tracts is comparable to the population percentage. However,

the percentage of offices in moderate-income tracts is below the population percentage.

Nevertheless, the percentage of FMB’s offices in the low- and moderate-income tracts is roughly

equal to the ratio for other lenders. In addition to the branches located within low- and

moderate-income tracts, there are five FMB branches located within middle- or upper-income

tracts contiguous to a low- or moderate-income tract. This further provides individuals in the

low- and moderate-income tracts with reasonable accessibility to FMB’s delivery systems. In

addition to 27 ATMs, the bank offers other alternative delivery systems, which make banking

services accessible. Mobile banking, online banking, the customer call center, and telephone

banking support service accessibility beyond office locations.

Changes in Branch Locations

To the extent changes have been made, the institution’s opening and closing of branches has

generally not adversely affected the accessibility of its delivery systems, particularly in low- and

moderate-income geographies or to low- and moderate-income individuals. FMB has closed

three branches in the AA since the prior evaluation. All three locations were in middle- or

upper-income tracts. No office openings occurred.

Reasonableness of Business Hours and Services

Services (including, where appropriate, business hours) do not vary in a way that inconveniences

portions of the AA, particularly low- or moderate-income geographies or individuals. The same

services and products are available at branches throughout the AA. Most branches have drive-up

services, 24-hour ATMs, and Saturday hours. Branch hours are convenient and comparable to

other local financial institutions.

Community Development Services

The institution provides a relatively high level of community development services. Overall, the

120 service activities represent 32.1 percent of the bank’s qualified activities, which materially

outpaces the bank’s deposit and lending concentrations in this AA. Bank personnel work with

organizations that provide qualifying community development services. A summary of the

community development services since the previous evaluation is illustrated in the following

The following are examples of community development services provided by the bank in this

AA:

A community market director was a member of a Money Smart Week regional committee in

the AA. Money Smart Week is a financial education campaign designed to help consumers

better manage their personal finances through classes and activities. This program focuses

on unbanked and underbanked consumers.

Another bank employee served as committee chairman of a CRA Council that has worked to

develop a “Bank On” program in the AA. The Bank On program is a joint effort between

banks and non-profit organizations to reach out and educate the unbanked and underserved.

Various employees teach financial literacy classes to low- and moderate-income individuals.

The community service is for students from various schools in which the majority of the

students qualify for free or reduced-price meals.

A relationship manager serves as a director and on the finance committee of a non-profit

organization that provides education, job training, and employment to people with physical

and mental disabilities. The non-profit organization is in partnership with local businesses

that primarily employ low- and moderate-income job positions.

SCOPE OF EVALUATION

The bank’s only AA in Ohio is Franklin County, which is part of the Columbus MSA.

Therefore, the Columbus MSA AA’s performance test conclusions represent the performance for

the State of Ohio. The performance under the three tests is discussed in the Columbus MSA AA

section below.

COLUMBUS, OHIO METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREA Full-scope Review

DESCRIPTION OF INSTITUTION’S OPERATIONS IN COLUMBUS MSA

#18140

FMB operates nine branches in the Columbus MSA AA and provides the full range of products

and services offered by the bank. Refer to the Service Test discussion for details regarding the

bank’s operations and any changes over the review period.

As stated above, the Columbus MSA AA consists of Franklin County, which is a portion of the

MSA. This AA consists of whole geographies, does not arbitrarily exclude low- and moderate-

income areas, and includes all of the geographies where the bank’s offices and deposit-taking

ATMs are located. Two bank acquisitions occurred in the AA during the evaluation period. One

in April 2015 added six offices, and the second in May 2017 added three offices.

Economic and Demographic Data

This AA includes all 284 census tracts in the county. These tracts reflect the following income

designations according to the 2015 ACS:

61 low-income tracts,

76 moderate-income tracts,

69 middle-income tracts,

75 upper-income tracts, and

3 tracts with no income category assigned

The 2010 U.S. Census data is used as a comparison for loan data prior to 2017. The census tract

income designations according to the 2010 U.S. Census are as follows:

60 low-income tracts,

75 moderate-income tracts,

74 middle-income tracts,

73 upper-income tracts, and

2 census tracts with no income category assigned.

Changes in the census tract income category designations occurred between the 2010 U.S.

Census and the 2015 ACS. The total number of census tracts remained the same; however, the

low-income census tracts increased by one, moderate-income tracts increased by one, and tracts

with no-income-category increased by one.

According to June 2017 economic information from Moody’s Analytics, the Columbus MSA

economy is well diversified and offers a low-cost living and business environment. Ohio State

University serves as the MSA’s largest employer and provides a large pool of graduates in science,

technology, and engineering. The MSA offers a highly educated work force and out-of-area

companies have located here as a result. The largest employment sectors in the MSA are

professional and business services (17.0 percent), government (16.1 percent), education and health

services (14.7 percent), and leisure and hospitality services (9.9 percent).

The April 2018 unemployment rate10

was 3.3 percent for Franklin County, which was below the

4.3 percent rate for the state of Ohio. Unemployment rates remained stable during this

evaluation period for Franklin County.

The AA’s economy relies heavily upon small businesses. According to 2017 D&B data, 83,124

non-farm businesses are located in the AA. In addition, 67.0 percent of the businesses have 4 or

fewer employees, and 86.7 percent operate from a single location. GARs for these businesses are as

follows.

81.7 percent have $1 million and less.

6.5 percent have more than $1 million.

11.8 percent have unknown revenues.

Competition

The AA is highly competitive for financial services. According to the FDIC Deposit Market

Share data as of June 30, 2017, 30 financial institutions operated 330 full-service offices within

the AA. FMB ranked ninth in market share in the AA, holding 1.1 percent of all deposits.

Furthermore, there is a high level of competition for home mortgage loans and small business

loans within the AA. In 2016, 461 lenders subject to HMDA data collection reported 42,532

home mortgage loans originated or purchased. FMB was ranked 76th in this group of lenders

with a 0.3 percent market share. In 2016, 109 lenders subject to large bank CRA data collection

reported 22,323 small business loans originated or purchased, with FMB ranked 20th and a 0.5

percent market share.

Community Contact

As part of the evaluation process, examiners contact third parties active in the AA to assist in

identifying the credit and community development needs. This information helps determine

70

whether local financial institutions are responsive to these needs. It also shows what credit and

community development opportunities are available.

One new contact was conducted with an economic development group. This contact emphasized

the need for more housing stock for residents who cannot afford to purchase a home.

Redevelopment needs were identified in lower-income neighborhoods. The contact emphasized

the importance of stabilizing the small businesses in the blighted neighborhoods that provide

services to low- and moderate-income persons.

Credit and Community Development Needs and Opportunities

Considering information from the community contact, bank management, and demographic and

economic data, examiners determined that small business lending and home mortgage lending

represent primary credit needs in the AA. While economic performance in the AA is generally

strong and no major unmet credit needs were identified, the large number of small businesses in

the area reflects a continued demand for small business loans.

Furthermore, examiners reviewed a recent CRA Performance Evaluation for one other financial

institution that operates in the Columbus MSA. From the CRA Performance Evaluation and

demographic information, examiners also determined that affordable housing, community

services, economic development, and job creation remain community development needs in the

AA.

CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA IN COLUMBUS MSA

LENDING TEST

Lending Activity

Lending levels reflect adequate responsiveness to AA credit needs. The number and dollar

volume of lending by loan product in this AA are detailed in Tables 1a and 1b in Appendix D.

An adequate volume of lending occurred for each product reviewed. The home mortgage

lending allowed the AA residents to purchase homes and refinance existing mortgages to achieve

lower interest rates and to obtain funds to fulfill housing-related needs. Small business lending

was supported by FMB and assisted those entities in providing jobs and services for AA

residents. Loans reported on FMB’s HMDA and small business loan data, respectively, equaled

215 loans totaling $72,239,000 in 2016 and 589 loans totaling $146,765,000 in 2017.

Geographic Distribution of Loans

The geographic distribution of loans reflects poor penetration throughout the AA. While the

bank’s small business lending performance was reasonable, this conclusion is supported by

weaker results in the more heavily weighted home mortgage area.

Page 76: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

71

Home Mortgage Loans

The geographic distribution of home mortgage loans reflects poor penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the aggregate data and the owner-occupied housing

level. Tables 2a through 4b in Appendix D detail home purchase, home improvement, and

refinance loans by census tract income level.

Purchase lending is the major home loan product (63 loans in 2016 and 390 in 2017) with

refinancings totaling 32 in 2016 and 79 in 2017. Therefore, purchase lending receives more

weight in the performance for this criterion. The merger in May 2017 caused an increase in

home mortgage loans, as home mortgage loans were a primary product for that institution.

Purchase lending in 2016 in the low-income census tracts was 0.2 percentage points below the

aggregate and was 3.3 percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017,

lending was 0.5 percentage points below aggregate and 2.6 percentage points less than the

owner-occupied housing level in that tract income category. Purchase lending in 2016 in the

moderate-income census tracts was 4.3 percentage points below the aggregate and was 7.7

percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017, lending was 8.3 percentage

points below aggregate and 9.1 percentage points less than the owner-occupied housing level in

that tract income category. The bank’s lending remained stable and slightly increased from 12.7

percent in 2016 to 13.6 percent in 2017 in moderate-income tracts.

Refinancings in 2016 in the low-income census tracts were 2.6 percentage points above the

aggregate and were 1.8 percentage points below the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017,

lending was 3.0 percentage points below aggregate and 5.2 percentage points less than the

owner-occupied housing level in that tract income category. In the moderate-income tracts,

refinancings in 2016 were 7.0 percentage points and 14.2 percentage points less than the

aggregate and the owner-occupied housing level, respectively. In 2017, lending was 14.4

percentage points below aggregate and 16.3 percentage points less than the owner-occupied

housing level in that tract income category.

While activity was smaller relative to the other home mortgage categories, performance in the

home improvement product was stronger that that exhibited in the home purchase and refinance

product lines. More specifically, the 2016 and 2017 performance in both low- and moderate-

income tracts significantly exceeded the aggregate market results, particularly in 2016 when 62.3

percent of the bank’s home improvement lending was extended in the two lowest income

segments. While the volume was limited relative to the two other categories, excellent results in

the home improvement lending category helped mitigate more modest home purchase and

refinance results in the moderate-income tracts for 2017.

Small Business Loans

The geographic distribution of small business loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the business population and the aggregate data. The

lending activity is shown in Tables 6a and 6b in Appendix D. Lending in the low-income census

tracts exceeded the 2016 aggregate by a healthy margin of 5.9 percentage points. The bank’s

lending was higher than the business population in 2016 and comparable to the business

Page 77: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

72

population in 2017. Although the lending percentage declined in the low-income tracts in 2017,

performance was adequate as it was comparable to the business population in 2017. In the

moderate-income census tracts, 2016 lending was 16.7 percentage points below the aggregate

and was also much less than the business population. The 2017 lending increased to 17.8 percent

in the moderate-income tracts and was slightly less than the business population. Lending in the

moderate income census tracts was adequate due to the improvement occurring in 2017.

Borrower Profile

The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the product lines offered by the institution, adequate

penetration among retail customers of different income levels and poor to business customers of

different sizes. Performance is adequate overall, as home mortgage loans received the greater

weight.

Home Mortgage Loans

The distribution of home mortgage loans is adequate to borrowers of different income levels.

This is based upon a comparison to the family population by income level and the aggregate

data. Tables 8a through 10b in Appendix D detail home purchase, home improvement, and

refinance loans by borrower income level.

Purchase lending in 2016 to low-income borrowers was 1.1 percentage points below the

aggregate and was 15.5 percentage points below the low-income family population. In 2017,

lending was 6.9 percentage points below aggregate and 21.4 percentage points less than the low-

income family population. The lending for both years was lower than the low-income family

population. However, this disparity can be largely attributed to the families that live below the

poverty level (12.1 percent in 2010 US Census and 12.8 percent in 2015 ACS data). Due to their

limited financial resources, families with incomes below the poverty level generally do not have

the capacity to support a home mortgage, limiting the demand and opportunity for lending to

low-income borrowers. Purchase lending in 2016 to moderate-income borrowers was 5.2

percentage points below the aggregate and was 2.6 percentage points above the moderate-income

family population. In 2017, lending was 7.0 percentage points below aggregate, but only 1.7

percentage points above the moderate-income family population.

No refinancings were originated to low-income borrowers in 2016. In 2017, lending was 5.3

percentage points below aggregate and 20.4 percentage points less than the low-income family

population. As previously mentioned, the disparity between the bank’s lending and the low-

income family population is largely attributed to the families that live below the poverty level.

To moderate-income borrowers, refinancings in 2016 were 32.2 percentage points and 30.4

percentage points above the aggregate and the moderate-income family population, respectively.

In 2017, lending was 6.1 percentage points below aggregate and 2.6 percentage points below the

moderate-income family population. Moderate-income performance is excellent in 2016 and

adequate in 2017, particularly when considering the comparisons to the family population by

income level.

73

Small Business Loans

The distribution of small business loans is poor among businesses of different sizes based upon a

comparison to the aggregate data. Tables 11a and 11b in Appendix D detail the distribution of

small business loans by gross annual revenue category. In 2016, the 22.2 percent ratio of lending

to entities with gross annual revenues of $1 million and less was 13.9 percentage points below

the aggregate. In 2017, lending increased to 27.7 percent in the $1 million and less revenue

category, but remained low. The bank’s lending for both years was significantly below the

business population with gross annual revenues of $1 million and less. The business population

only reflects the businesses in that revenue category, not necessarily the percentage seeking

loans. However, the bank’s performance is poor, as the bank’s lending is much less than the

aggregate data in 2016 and increased only slightly in 2017. Further, aggregate lending is a better

indicator of loan demand in that revenue category.

Community Development Lending

The bank has made a relatively high level of community development loans. Three community

development loans totaling $23,112,000 were originated during this evaluation period,

representing 22.7 percent of the bank’s qualified lending activity within the AAs. In 2017, the

bank originated a $17,000,000 construction-permanent loan for a multi-purpose building that

includes residential units, office space, and retail units. This project was located in a low-income

tract and helped revitalize and stabilize an area targeted for redevelopment. Also in 2017, the

bank originated a $2,500,000 loan for an organization that provides affordable housing. A

community contact noted that the Columbus MSA AA was in need of revitalization and

stabilization, as well as affordable housing. These large loans directly address the needs

identified by the community contact. The table below depicts the community development loans

for this evaluation period.

During the evaluation period, the bank originated 56 FHA loans totaling $9,906,000; 17 SBA

loans totaling $4,738,000; and 13 VA loans totaling $2,850,000. These are the most notable

examples of the bank’s use of flexible lending programs in this AA. Additionally, FMB

INVESTMENT TEST

Investment and Grant Activity

The institution has a significant level of qualified community development investments and

grants, although rarely in a leadership position. As shown in the following table, investments

totaled $9,779,000 in this AA, of which $6,624,000 are new investments since the prior

evaluation. This level of investments is an increase of over 68 percent from the prior evaluation

and represents 12.8 percent of the bank’s total qualified investment activity extended in the

bank’s AAs. Donations of $149,000 were made to different groups that provide services to low-

or moderate-income persons and areas, to support affordable housing, and to promote job growth

and economic development.

Responsiveness to Credit and Community Development Needs

The institution exhibits an adequate responsiveness to credit and community economic

development needs. FMB purchased 7 new mortgage-backed securities totaling $5,327,000 that

support affordable housing for low- and moderate-income residents. FMB also purchased a

school corporation bond totaling $1,148,000 that qualified as a community service investment

(served a significant low- and moderate-income student population). Affordable housing and

community services were needs identified by examiners in a review of economic and

demographic information. The bank’s investments addressed those needs.

Community Development Initiatives

The institution does not use innovative or complex investments to support community

development initiatives. None of the investments had innovative or complex characteristics.

The investments were of the type typically supported by other similarly-situated banks in the

AA.

SERVICE TEST

Accessibility of Delivery Systems

Delivery systems are reasonably accessible to essentially all portions of the AA. While no

offices are in low-income tracts, the bank’s percentage of offices in the moderate-income tracts

compares favorably to the moderate-income tract population percentage. In addition to the three

branches located within moderate-income tracts, there are five branches located within middle-

or upper-income tracts contiguous to a low- or moderate-income tract. This provides individuals

in the low- and moderate-income tracts with reasonable accessibility to FMB’s delivery systems.

In addition to eight ATMs, the bank offers other alternative delivery systems, which make

banking services accessible. Mobile banking, online banking, the customer call center, and

telephone banking support service accessibility beyond office locations.

Changes in Branch Locations

To the extent changes have been made, the institution’s record of opening and closing branches

has improved the accessibility of its delivery systems, particularly in moderate-income

geographies and to low- and moderate-income individuals. With two bank acquisitions in the

AA since the prior evaluation, FMB acquired six branches in 2015 and three branches in 2017.

Three of the acquired branches are located in moderate-income tracts. One of the branches

acquired in 2015 was closed soon after the 2017 acquisition. This one branch closure was in a

middle-income tract.

Reasonableness of Business Hours and Services

Services (including, where appropriate, business hours) do not vary in a way that inconveniences

portions of the AA, particularly low- or moderate-income geographies or individuals. The same

services and products are available at branches throughout the AA. Most branches have drive-up

services, 24-hour ATMs, and Saturday hours. Branch hours are convenient and comparable to

other local financial institutions.

Community Development Services

The institution provides an adequate level of community development services. Overall, the

bank provided 32 qualified service activities to the AA, which represents 8.6 percent of the

bank’s total. Bank personnel work with organizations that provide qualifying community

development services. A summary of the community development services since the previous

evaluation is illustrated in the following table.

SCOPE OF EVALUATION

A full-scope review was completed of the Cincinnati MS MSA AA. FMB’s performance under

the Lending Test, Investment Test, and Service Test is discussed in the following comments.

DESCRIPTION OF INSTITUTION’S OPERATIONS IN CINCINNATI

MULTISTATE MSA

FMB operates two branches in the Cincinnati MS MSA AA and provides the full range of

products and services offered by the bank. Refer to the Service Test discussion for details

regarding the bank’s operations and any changes over the review period.

The Cincinnati MS MSA AA consists of Union County in Indiana and Butler County in Ohio.

These two counties are a portion of the MS MSA. This AA consists of whole geographies, does

not arbitrarily exclude low- and moderate-income areas, and includes all of the geographies

where the bank’s offices and deposit-taking ATMs are located.

Economic and Demographic Data

This AA includes all 82 census tracts in the counties. These tracts reflect the following income

designations according to the 2015 ACS:

11 low-income tracts,

17 moderate-income tracts,

31 middle-income tracts,

20 upper-income tracts, and

3 tracts with no income category assigned.

The 2010 U.S. Census data is the data used as a comparison for loan data prior to 2017. The

census tract income designations according to the 2010 U.S. Census are as follows:

Page 83: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

78

7 low-income tracts,

24 moderate-income tracts,

30 middle-income tracts,

19 upper-income tracts, and

2 census tracts with no income category assigned.

Changes in the census tract income category designations occurred between the 2010 U.S.

Census and the 2015 ACS. The total number of census tracts remained the same; however, the

low-income census tracts increased by four, moderate-income tracts decreased by seven, and no-

income-category tracts increased by one.

According to June 2017 economic information from Moody’s Analytics, the Cincinnati MS MSA

economy is well diversified and offers an educated and skilled workforce. A sound transportation

network supports logistics, such as the new Amazon shipping hub at the region’s airport. The

housing market is affordable. The aerospace industry is sound due to the increasing demand for

aircraft and aircraft parts. The largest employment sectors in the MSA are professional and business

services (15.6 percent), leisure and hospitality services (11.0 percent), manufacturing (10.6 percent),

and retail trade (10.1 percent).

The April 2018 unemployment rates11

for the counties in the AA were 3.6 percent for Butler

County in Ohio and 2.7 percent for Union County in Indiana. Each county’s unemployment rate

is lower than the applicable statewide rate (3.2 percent for the Indiana statewide rate and 4.3

percent for the Ohio statewide rate). Unemployment rates remained stable during this evaluation

period for all of the counties in the AA.

The AA’s economy relies heavily upon small businesses. According to 2017 D&B data, 18,812

non-farm businesses are located in the AA. In addition, 67.7 percent of the businesses have 4 or

fewer employees, and 86.1 percent operate from a single location. GARs for these businesses are as

follows.

80.5 percent have $1 million and less.

6.7 percent have more than $1 million.

12.9 percent have unknown revenues.

Competition

The AA is highly competitive for financial services. According to the FDIC Deposit Market

Share data as of June 30, 2017, 22 financial institutions operated 102 full-service offices within

the whole counties in the AA. FMB was ranked 12th in market share in the AA, holding 1.2

percent of all deposits.

Furthermore, there is a high level of competition for home mortgage loans and small business

loans within the AA. In 2016, 335 lenders subject to HMDA data collection reported 12,663

home mortgage loans originated or purchased. FMB was ranked 83rd in this group of lenders

with a 0.2 percent market share. In 2016, 75 lenders subject to large bank CRA data collection

reported 6,145 small business loans originated or purchased, with FMB ranked 28th and a 0.2

percent market share.

Community Contact

As part of the evaluation process, examiners contact third parties active in the AA to assist in

identifying the credit and community development needs. This information helps determine

whether local financial institutions are responsive to these needs. It also shows what credit and

community development opportunities are available.

A new community contact was conducted with an economic development group. This contact

emphasized the continued need for small business lending and financial education for business

owners. A lack of affordable housing was also noted. New construction of higher priced

housing is strong at this time, but lower cost affordable housing is very limited.

Credit and Community Development Needs and Opportunities

Considering information from the community contact, bank management, and demographic and

economic data, examiners determined that small business lending and home mortgage lending

represent primary credit needs in the AA. While economic performance in the AA is generally

strong and no major unmet credit needs were identified, the large number of small businesses in

the area reflects a continued demand to originate small business loans.

Furthermore, examiners reviewed recent CRA Performance Evaluations for two other financial

institutions that operate in the Cincinnati MSA. From these CRA Performance Evaluations and

demographic information, examiners also determined that affordable housing, community

services, economic development, and job creation remain as community development needs in

the AA.

CONCLUSIONS ON PERFORMANCE CRITERIA IN CINCINNATI

MULTISTATE MSA

LENDING TEST

Lending Activity

Lending levels reflect adequate responsiveness to AA credit needs. The number and dollar

volume of lending by loan product in this AA are detailed in Tables 1a and 1b in Appendix D.

An adequate volume of lending occurred for each product reviewed. The home mortgage

lending allowed the AA residents to purchase homes and refinance existing mortgages to achieve

lower interest rates and to obtain funds to fulfill housing-related needs. Small business lending

was supported by FMB and assisted those entities in providing jobs and services for AA

residents. Loans reported on FMB’s HMDA and small business loan data, respectively, equaled

37 loans totaling $6,132,000 in 2016 and 31 loans totaling $3,246,000 in 2017.

Geographic Distribution of Loans

The geographic distribution of loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the AA. The

reasonable performance exhibited by the home mortgage and small business loans supports this

conclusion.

Page 86: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

81

Home Mortgage Loans

The geographic distribution of home mortgage loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the aggregate data and the owner-occupied housing

level. Tables 2a through 4b in Appendix D detail home purchase and refinance loans by census

tract income level. Given the limited volume of home improvement loans in this AA, a separate

discussion of this product type was not included.

No purchase loans were originated in the AA’s low-income census tracts in 2016 or 2017. In

2016, the bank originated 10 of its 11 purchase loans in the AA’s moderate-income tracts. This

resulted in the bank’s purchase lending in these census tracts to be 73.3 percentage points above

the aggregate and 70.3 percentage points above the owner-occupied housing level. In 2017,

none of the bank’s four total purchase loans were originated in the moderate-income tracts.

Performance for purchase loan coverage of the AA’s low- and moderate-income census tracts is

reasonable considering that the bank’s AA offices are not near these tracts (a distance of at least

15 miles). This is described in greater detail under the Service Test for this AA. In addition, a

high level of competition is present in these areas. Roughly half of the AA’s competitor banks

(13 banks operating 39 offices) are located in the AA towns that encompass the low- and

moderate-income census tracts. These factors help explain FMB’s absence of lending in these

tracts. Further, the strong 2016 performance in moderate-income geographies mitigates the other

weaknesses.

No refinancings occurred in the low-income tracts in 2016 or 2017; however, this is reasonable

given the aforementioned distance of FMB’s AA offices from such tracts. In the moderate-

income tracts, refinancings in 2016 were 30.6 percentage points and 21.0 percentage points

above the aggregate and the owner-occupied housing level, respectively. In 2017, lending was

2.5 percentage points less than aggregate and 7.5 percentage points less than the owner-occupied

housing level in that tract income category. FMB originated only 12 refinance loans in each of

the two years. Therefore, each loan represents a relatively large percentage. These factors

explain the reasonableness of the FMB’s performance for refinance loans. Performance is

adequate for both product types under this criterion given the distance of the two banking offices

from the low- and moderate-income tracts, as well as the stronger moderate-income performance

in 2016.

Small Business Loans

The geographic distribution of small business loans reflects adequate penetration throughout the

AA. This is based upon a comparison to the business population and the aggregate data. The

lending activity is shown in Tables 6a and 6b in Appendix D.

FMB did not originate any of its 10 small business loans in the low-income census tracts in 2016.

However, concerns over this activity are mitigated to a large extent, as these tracts contained

only small percentages of the aggregate loans (3.3 percent) and the area businesses (4.3 percent)

in 2016. In 2017, the bank’s percentage in the low-income tracts improved to 12.5 percent (1 of

8 loans), which was comparable to the business population. For the moderate-income census

tracts in 2016, FMB’s lending was 5.6 percentage points above aggregate (2017 aggregate is not

Page 87: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

82

available). FMB’s lending concentration exceeded the business population in the moderate-

income census tracts in both 2016 and 2017. Performance was adequate, as lending compared

consistently to the business population and the aggregate in the moderate-income tracts. For

low-income tracts, lending increased in 2017 and was comparable to the business population.

These factors, combined with the aforementioned distance of bank offices from the low- and

moderate-income census tracts, reflect reasonable performance.

Borrower Profile

The distribution of borrowers reflects, given the product lines offered by the institution, adequate

penetration among retail customers of different income levels and business customers of

different sizes. While performance in the small business lending segment was stronger, the

conclusion is supported by performance in the more heavily weighted home mortgage lending

area.

Home Mortgage Loans

The distribution of home mortgage loans is adequate to borrowers of different income levels.

This is based upon a comparison to the family population by income level and the aggregate

data. Tables 8a through 10b in Appendix D detail home purchase and refinance loans by

borrower income level. Again, home improvement loans were not reviewed due to their nominal

volume.

Only eleven purchase loans were originated in 2016 and four in 2017. Purchase lending in 2016

to low-income borrowers was 9.1 percentage points above the 2016 aggregate and only 0.1

percentage points below the low-income family population. In 2017, no purchase loans were

made to low-income borrowers; however, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions due to

the small volume of loans. In 2016, purchase lending to moderate-income borrowers was 15.7

percentage points above the aggregate and 22.5 percentage points above the moderate-income

family population. In 2017, lending was 1.6 percentage points below aggregate and 7.1

percentage points above the moderate-income family population. These ratios reflect adequate

performance for home purchase loans.

As stated above, FMB originated 12 refinance loans each in 2016 and 2017. No refinancings

were originated to low-income borrowers in 2016. In 2017, lending was 7.3 percentage points

above the aggregate and only 2.7 percentage points below the low-income family population.

This reflects reasonable performance. For moderate-income borrowers in 2016, refinancings

were 4.4 percentage points and 2.5 percentage points above the aggregate and the moderate-

income family population, respectively. In 2017, lending was 8.3 percentage points above

aggregate and 9.4 percentage points above the moderate-income family population. Performance

is adequate in both years based upon a comparison to the family population by income level and

the aggregate market data.

83

Small Business Loans

The distribution of small business loans is good among businesses of different sizes based upon a

comparison to the aggregate data. Tables 11a and 11b in Appendix D detail the distribution of

small business loans by gross annual revenue category. Lending to entities with gross annual

revenues of $1 million and less was 15.0 percentage points above the aggregate in 2016 (2017

aggregate was not available). The bank’s lending for both years was slightly below the business

population with gross annual revenues of $1 million and less; however, the business population

only reflects the businesses in that revenue category - not necessarily the percentage seeking

loans. Not all businesses will seek loans on an annual basis and some will not borrow at all. The

bank’s performance is good, as the bank’s lending is much higher than the aggregate data.

Further, the aggregate lending is a better indicator of loan demand in that revenue category.

Community Development Loans

FMB did not fund any community development loans during the evaluation period.

Product Innovation

The institution uses innovative and flexible lending practices in order to serve AA credit needs.

During the evaluation period, the bank originated 5 USDA Rural Housing loans totaling

$551,000. These USDA Rural Housing loans are the most notable examples of the bank’s use of

flexible lending programs in this AA. Additionally, FMB originated loans using the Unsecured

Home Improvement Campaign and First Home Mortgage Program. FMB also partnered with the

FHLB HOP grant program. The following table summarizes the bank’s flexible and innovative

lending activities in this AA during the evaluation period.

Responsiveness to Credit and Community Development Needs

The institution exhibits an adequate responsiveness to credit and community economic

development needs. As mentioned, FMB purchased six new affordable housing investments,

which are pertinent to the needs of this AA. Affordable housing and community services were

needs identified by examiners in a review of economic and demographic information. The

bank’s investments addressed those needs.

Community Development Initiatives

The institution does not use innovative or complex investments to support community

development initiatives. None of the investments had innovative or complex characteristics.

The investments were of the type typically supported by other similarly-situated banks in the

AA.

SERVICE TEST

Accessibility of Delivery Systems

Delivery systems are accessible to a limited portion of the AA. FMB has two branches in this

AA. As stated earlier, there are 11 low-income and 17 moderate-income tracts in this AA. FMB

has no branches located in or contiguous to a low- or moderate-income tract. One of the AA

branches is in Union County Indiana, which contains only two middle-income census tracts and

was a Non-MSA county until 2014. The other AA branch is relatively small at $20 million in

deposits. It is in the town of Oxford, Ohio, which is home to Miami University. This branch is

in the northwest corner of Butler County Ohio approximately 15 miles away from the closest

low- and moderate-income census tracts. All of the AA’s low- and moderate-income census

85

tracts are in the eastern and southeastern portions of Butler County in the towns of Hamilton,

New Miami, Trenton, and Middletown. The AA branches were acquired during a merger in

April 2007. FMB has two ATMs and other alternative delivery systems, which make banking

services accessible through the customer call center, telephone banking, mobile banking, and

online banking.

Changes in Branch Locations

The institution’s opening and closing of branches has generally not adversely affected the

accessibility of its delivery systems, particularly in low- and moderate-income geographies or to

low- and moderate-income individuals. FMB has not opened or closed any branches in the AA

since the prior evaluation.

Reasonableness of Business Hours and Services

Services, (including, where appropriate, business hours) do not vary in a way that

inconveniences portions of the AA, particularly low- or moderate-income geographies or

individuals. The same services and products are available at branches throughout the AA. Most

branches have drive-up services, 24-hour ATMs, and Saturday hours. Branch hours are

convenient and comparable to other local financial institutions.

Community Development Services

The institution provides a limited level of community development services. There were only

two instances of community development services performed during the evaluation period.

These were related to an employee serving as the Board President of an emergency fund for low-

and moderate-income individuals in 2015 and 2016. The emergency fund assists income-

qualified residents in the AA to pay bills for critical health and human services.

APPENDIX C

GLOSSARY

Aggregate Lending: The number of loans originated and purchased by all reporting lenders in

specified income categories as a percentage of the aggregate number of loans originated and

purchased by all reporting lenders in the metropolitan area/assessment area.

Area Median Income: The median family income for the MSA, if a person or geography is

located in an MSA; or the statewide nonmetropolitan median family income, if a person or

geography is located outside an MSA.

Assessment Area: A geographic area delineated by the bank under the requirements of the

Community Reinvestment Act.

Census Tract: A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county or equivalent

entity. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the

presentation of statistical data. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and

8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. Census tract boundaries generally follow

visible and identifiable features, but they may follow nonvisible legal boundaries in some

instances. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries.

Combined Statistical Area (CSA): A combination of several adjacent metropolitan statistical

areas or micropolitan statistical areas or a mix of the two, which are linked by economic ties.

Community Development: For loans, investments, and services to qualify as community

development activities, their primary purpose must:

1) Support affordable housing for low- and moderate-income individuals;

2) Target community services toward low- and moderate-income individuals;

3) Promote economic development by financing small businesses or farms;

4) Provide activities that revitalize or stabilize low- and moderate-income geographies,

designated disaster areas, or distressed or underserved nonmetropolitan middle-income

geographies; or

5) Enable or facilitate projects or activities that address needs regarding foreclosed or

abandoned residential properties in designated target areas.

Community Development Corporation (CDC): A CDC allows banks and holding companies

to make equity type of investments in community development projects. Bank CDCs can

develop innovative debt instruments or provide near-equity investments tailored to the

development needs of the community. Bank CDCs are also tailored to their financial and

marketing needs. A CDC may purchase, own, rehabilitate, construct, manage, and sell real

property. Also, it may make equity or debt investments in development projects and in local

businesses. The CDC activities are expected to directly benefit low- and moderate-income

groups, and the investment dollars should not represent an undue risk on the banking

organization.

90

Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs): CDFIs are private intermediaries

(either for profit or nonprofit) with community development as their primary mission. A CDFI

facilitates the flow of lending and investment capital into distressed communities and to

individuals who have been unable to take advantage of the services offered by traditional

financial institutions. Some basic types of CDFIs include community development banks,

community development loan funds, community development credit unions, micro enterprise

funds, and community development venture capital funds.

A certified CDFI must meet eligibility requirements. These requirements include the following:

Having a primary mission of promoting community development;

Serving an investment area or target population;

Providing development services;

Maintaining accountability to residents of its investment area or targeted population through

representation on its governing board of directors, or by other means;

Not constituting an agency or instrumentality of the United States, of any state or political

subdivision of a state.

Community Development Loan: A loan that

(1) Has as its primary purpose community development; and

(2) Except in the case of a wholesale or limited purpose bank:

(i) Has not been reported or collected by the bank or an affiliate for consideration in

the bank’s assessment area as a home mortgage, small business, small farm, or

consumer loan, unless it is a multifamily dwelling loan (as described in Appendix

A to Part 203 of this title); and

(ii) Benefits the bank’s assessment area(s) or a broader statewide or regional area

including the bank’s assessment area(s).

Community Development Service: A service that

(1) Has as its primary purpose community development;

(2) Is related to the provision of financial services; and

(3) Has not been considered in the evaluation of the bank’s retail banking services under §

345.24(d).

Consumer Loan(s): A loan(s) to one or more individuals for household, family, or other

personal expenditures. A consumer loan does not include a home mortgage, small business, or

small farm loan. This definition includes the following categories: motor vehicle loans, credit

card loans, home equity loans, other secured consumer loans, and other unsecured consumer

loans.

Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA): The county or counties or equivalent entities associated

with at least one core (urbanized area or urban cluster) of at least 10,000 population, plus

adjacent counties having a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as

measured through commuting ties with the counties associated with the core. Metropolitan and

Micropolitan Statistical Areas are the two categories of CBSAs.

91

Distressed Middle-Income Nonmetropolitan Geographies: A nonmetropolitan middle-

income geography will be designated as distressed if it is in a county that meets one or more of

the following triggers:

(1) An unemployment rate of at least 1.5 times the national average;

(2) A poverty rate of 20 percent or more; or

(3) A population loss of 10 percent or more between the previous and most recent decennial

census or a net migration loss of 5 percent or more over the 5-year period preceding the most

recent census.

Family: Includes a householder and one or more other persons living in the same household

who are related to the householder by birth, marriage, or adoption. The number of family

households always equals the number of families; however, a family household may also include

non-relatives living with the family. Families are classified by type as either a married-couple

family or other family. Other family is further classified into “male householder” (a family with

a male householder and no wife present) or “female householder” (a family with a female

householder and no husband present).

Family Income: Includes the income of all members of a family that are age 15 and older.

FFIEC-Estimated Income Data: The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council

(FFIEC) issues annual estimates which update median family income from the metropolitan and

nonmetropolitan areas. The FFIEC uses American Community Survey data and factors in

information from other sources to arrive at an annual estimate that more closely reflects current

economic conditions.

Full-Scope Review: A full-scope review is accomplished when examiners complete all

applicable interagency examination procedures for an assessment area. Performance under

applicable tests is analyzed considering performance context, quantitative factors (for example,

geographic distribution, borrower profile, and total number and dollar amount of investments),

and qualitative factors (for example, innovativeness, complexity, and responsiveness).

Geography: A census tract delineated by the United States Bureau of the Census in the most

recent decennial census.

Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA): The statute that requires certain mortgage lenders

that do business or have banking offices in a metropolitan statistical area to file annual summary

reports of their mortgage lending activity. The reports include such data as the race, gender, and

the income of applicants; the amount of loan requested; and the disposition of the application

(approved, denied, and withdrawn).

Home Mortgage Disclosure Loan Application Register (HMDA LAR): The HMDA LARs

record all applications received for residential purchase, refinance, home improvement, and

temporary-to-permanent construction loans.

92

Home Mortgage Loans: Includes home purchase and home improvement loans as defined in

the HMDA regulation. This definition also includes multi-family (five or more families)

dwelling loans, loans to purchase manufactured homes, and refinancings of home improvement

and home purchase loans.

Household: Includes all persons occupying a housing unit. Persons not living in households are

classified as living in group quarters. In 100 percent tabulations, the count of households always

equals the count of occupied housing units.

Household Income: Includes the income of the householder and all other persons that are age

15 and older in the household, whether related to the householder or not. Because many

households are only one person, median household income is usually less than median family

income.

Housing Unit: Includes a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of rooms, or a single

room that is occupied as separate living quarters.

Limited-Scope Review: A limited scope review is accomplished when examiners do not

complete all applicable interagency examination procedures for an assessment area.

Performance under applicable tests is often analyzed using only quantitative factors (for

example, geographic distribution, borrower profile, total number and dollar amount of

investments, and branch distribution).

Low-Income: Individual income that is less than 50 percent of the area median income, or a

median family income that is less than 50 percent in the case of a geography.

Low Income Housing Tax Credit: The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program is a housing

program contained within the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. It is administered by

the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service. The U.S. Treasury

Department distributes low-income housing tax credits to housing credit agencies through the

Internal Revenue Service. The housing agencies allocate tax credits on a competitive basis.

Developers who acquire, rehabilitate, or construct low-income rental housing may keep their tax

credits. Or, they may sell them to corporations or investor groups, who, as owners of these

properties, will be able to reduce their own federal tax payments. The credit can be claimed

annually for ten consecutive years. For a project to be eligible, the developer must set aside a

specific percentage of units for occupancy by low-income residents. The set-aside requirement

remains throughout the compliance period, usually 30 years.

Market Share: The number of loans originated and purchased by the institution as a percentage

of the aggregate number of loans originated and purchased by all reporting lenders in the

metropolitan area/assessment area.

Median Income: The median income divides the income distribution into two equal parts, one

having incomes above the median and other having incomes below the median.

93

Metropolitan Division (MD): A county or group of counties within a CBSA that contain(s) an

urbanized area with a population of at least 2.5 million. A MD is one or more main/secondary

counties representing an employment center or centers, plus adjacent counties associated with

the main/secondary county or counties through commuting ties.

Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA): CBSA associated with at least one urbanized area

having a population of at least 50,000. The MSA comprises the central county or counties or

equivalent entities containing the core, plus adjacent outlying counties having a high degree of

social and economic integration with the central county or counties as measured through

commuting.

Micropolitan Statistical Area: CBSA associated with at least one urbanized area having a

population of at least 10,000, but less than 50,000.

Middle-Income: Individual income that is at least 80 percent and less than 120 percent of the

area median income, or a median family income that is at least 80 and less than 120 percent in

the case of a geography.

Moderate-Income: Individual income that is at least 50 percent and less than 80 percent of the

area median income, or a median family income that is at least 50 and less than 80 percent in the

case of a geography.

Multi-family: Refers to a residential structure that contains five or more units.

Nonmetropolitan Area: All areas outside of metropolitan areas. The definition of

nonmetropolitan area is not consistent with the definition of rural areas. Urban and rural

classifications cut across the other hierarchies. For example, there is generally urban and rural

territory within metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.

Owner-Occupied Units: Includes units occupied by the owner or co-owner, even if the unit has

not been fully paid for or is mortgaged.

Qualified Investment: A lawful investment, deposit, membership share, or grant that has as its

primary purpose community development.

Rated Area: A rated area is a state or multistate metropolitan area. For an institution with

domestic branches in only one state, the institution’s CRA rating would be the state rating. If an

institution maintains domestic branches in more than one state, the institution will receive a

rating for each state in which those branches are located. If an institution maintains domestic

branches in two or more states within a multistate metropolitan area, the institution will receive a

rating for the multistate metropolitan area.

Rural Area: Territories, populations, and housing units that are not classified as urban.

Page 99: PUBLIC DISCLOSURE - First Merchants Corporation · after June 30, 2017), 13.0 percent of HMDA and CRA lending. Chicago MS MSA AA: 21 offices, 20.5 percent of total deposits, 10.2

94

Small Business Investment Company (SBIC): SBICs are privately-owned investment

companies which are licensed and regulated by the Small Business Administration

(SBA). SBICs provide long-term loans and/or venture capital to small firms. Because money

for venture or risk investments is difficult for small firms to obtain, SBA provides assistance to

SBICs to stimulate and supplement the flow of private equity and long-term loan funds to small

companies. Venture capitalists participate in the SBIC program to supplement their own private

capital with funds borrowed at favorable rates through SBA’s guarantee of SBIC debentures.

These SBIC debentures are then sold to private investors. An SBIC’s success is linked to the

growth and profitability of the companies that it finances. Therefore, some SBICs primarily

assist businesses with significant growth potential, such as new firms in innovative

industries. SBICs finance small firms by providing straight loans and/or equity-type

investments. This kind of financing gives them partial ownership of those businesses and the

possibility of sharing in the companies’ profits as they grow and prosper.

Small Business Loan: A loan included in “loans to small businesses” as defined in the

Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (Call Report). These loans have original amounts

of $1 million or less and are either secured by nonfarm nonresidential properties or are classified

as commercial and industrial loans.

Small Farm Loan: A loan included in “loans to small farms” as defined in the instructions for

preparation of the Consolidated Report of Condition and Income (Call Report). These loans

have original amounts of $500,000 or less and are either secured by farmland, including farm

residential and other improvements, or are classified as loans to finance agricultural production

and other loans to farmers.

Underserved Middle-Income Nonmetropolitan Geographies: A nonmetropolitan middle-

income geography will be designated as underserved if it meets criteria for population size,

density, and dispersion indicating the area’s population is sufficiently small, thin, and distant

from a population center that the tract is likely to have difficulty financing the fixed costs of

meeting essential community needs.

Upper-Income: Individual income that is 120 percent or more of the area median income, or a

median family income that is 120 percent or more in the case of a geography.

Urban Area: All territories, populations, and housing units in urbanized areas and in places of

2,500 or more persons outside urbanized areas. More specifically, “urban” consists of territory,

persons, and housing units in places of 2,500 or more persons incorporated as cities, villages,

boroughs (except in Alaska and New York), and towns (except in the New England states, New

York, and Wisconsin).

“Urban” excludes the rural portions of “extended cities”; census designated place of 2,500 or

more persons; and other territory, incorporated or unincorporated, including in urbanized areas.
