locations in the Michigan area, all of which will remain part of First Merchants franchise. Since its founding in 2007, Level One Bank grew to one of the largest community banks in the state with total assets of $2.52&nbsp;billion, total loans of

reputation for a deep-rooted commitment to community banking, and we are excited they have chosen to become the newest member of the First Merchants family,&#148; said First Merchants CEO, Mark Hardwick. &#147;The LEVL franchise helps us to
contiguously extend our presence in Michigan, leveraging the vision of First Merchants to enhance the financial wellness of the diverse communities we serve.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Our merger into First Merchants provides tremendous benefits to customers, shareholders and communities as we look forward to continuing the exceptional
customer service, local responsiveness and strong community engagement that has defined Level One since its founding in 2007,&#148; said Level One CEO, Patrick J. Fehring. &#147;First Merchants is the perfect partner to continue our legacy of
service excellence.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">First Merchants will have assets of approximately $18&nbsp;billion and will remain the second largest financial holding company
headquartered in Indiana. The combined company, doing business as First Merchants Bank, will complete its integration during the third quarter of 2022. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company will have 126 banking offices across Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. </P>
