Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On September 15, 2009, Irwin Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”) and its principal depository institution subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company (“IUBT”), entered into a Cease and Desist Order (the “Order”) with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”). The Order includes requirements that the Corporation and IUBT achieve certain designated capital levels and reduce reliance on certain types of deposits by September 30, 2009. The Corporation and IUBT believe that there is no realistic prospect of achieving the required capital levels by the date required in the Order and, in the absence of certain loan sales, which the Corporation and IUBT believe would not be approved by appropriate regulatory bodies, they cannot achieve the requisite reduction in reliance on the designated deposits by the required date.
     The full text of the Order attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
     IUBT is a separate legal entity from the Corporation’s other depository institution subsidiary, Irwin Union Bank, F.S.B., which is a party to a Stipulation and Consent to the issuance of an Order to Cease and Desist with the Office of Thrift Supervision, dated July 24, 2009.
Item 8.01 Other Events
     The Corporation has also been advised by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (“Chicago Reserve Bank”) and the DFI that they disagree with the Corporation’s view of the timing of the recognition of certain loan losses. As a result, IUBT has been required to submit to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) amended Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (referred to herein as the “Amended Call Report”) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 consistent with the Chicago Reserve Bank’s view of the timing of these losses. The Bank is undercapitalized for purposes of section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Regulation H and is subject to the restrictions imposed on an undercapitalized state member bank.
     Once we file the Amended Call Report, or if the Indiana Board of Public Depositories revokes our eligibility sooner, IUBT will no longer be eligible to receive deposits from Indiana public entities unless they are insured by the FDIC. These municipal deposits have represented an important source of liquidity for IUBT.
