Letter from Mark A. Schroeder

Chairman & CEO

Dear Shareholders:

At German American, we’ve always taken great 
pride in our mission of being a community-
focused financial institution dedicated to 
helping individuals, families and businesses 
achieve greater prosperity and quality of life.  
Our team of financial professionals builds 
lasting client relationships based on integrity, 
responsive service, innovation and shared 
values.  Additionally, we firmly believe we have 
an obligation to support the communities we 
serve.  At German American, we believe that 
when a community thrives, its people prosper.  
As a community banking organization, we clearly 
understand that when the communities we serve 
thrive, our business also prospers.

While we’ve held steadfast to that belief and 
commitment for over 110 years, 2020 was a year 
in which our mission-focused approach to doing 
business was necessarily taken to the next level.  

1

continued...

continued...

Faced with a multitude of pandemic-related challenges, 
I’m pleased to report to you, our shareholders, that the 
German American TEAM was up to those challenges.  
Staying true to who we are as an organization, we elevated 
our efforts to help our clients survive the economic impact 
of the pandemic, while continuing to support our local 
communities which were facing extremely difficult social 
challenges.  We built upon our ingrained mission-focused 
approach to doing business by adopting a mindset of being 
mission-driven!

The Mission-Driven theme of our 2020 Summary Annual 
Report honors and recognizes the accomplishments of 
our team of financial professionals in the most difficult 
of circumstances.  Detailed throughout this Report are 
facts and figures about all we have accomplished as an 
organization to care for our team, our customers and 
our communities during this historic period in which the 
pandemic thoroughly changed our way of life and tragically 
caused the loss of many lives.  Just as our Company faced 
challenges yet continued to serve customers through the 
1918 influenza pandemic, our team was there serving our 
customers and communities through the 2020 pandemic 
and once again proved the value of our business model. Our 
steadfast focus on doing well while doing good continued 
to deliver upon our promise of delivering exceptional 
performance for all our stakeholders, including our 
shareholders.

I’m pleased to share that 2020 brought a record level 
of organic growth, as evidenced by deposit growth of 
approximately $675 million, or 20%, driving our total asset 
level to nearly $5 billion, representing 13% annual growth. 
From the shareholders’ perspective, we are extremely proud 
of the fact that, despite the headwinds of the pandemic, 
2020 once again produced record financial results in 
terms of our 8th year of consecutive increased dividends, 
our 11th consecutive year of record earnings, and our 16th 

consecutive year of a double-digit return on shareholders’ 
equity.  Clearly, our model of doing well while doing good 
has stood the test of time over the past 110 years and has 
now withstood the test of the pandemic of 2020.

In my closing of the shareholders’ letter in last year’s 
Summary Annual Report, I noted that we were dealing 
with the unprecedented challenge of the initial phases of 
the COVID-19 pandemic and the unknown impact of the 
associated economic disruption throughout our nation 
and within our own market areas. I also shared that you, 
as shareholders, could take comfort in knowing that 
throughout our 110-year history, German American had 
weathered many difficult times. I also stated that, at that 
time, we remained humbly and quietly confident in our 
collective ability to work through whatever issues might 
arise due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

I’m very pleased to close this year’s letter by sharing we 
are currently very hopeful that the worst of the economic 
impact of the pandemic is largely behind us. While we’re still 
in the early phases of the economic recovery on a local and 
national level, all signs indicate the U.S. economy may be 
poised for dramatic growth in the coming years.  Please be 
assured that at German American, we are working hard to 
adapt to the changes in customer habits, which have been 
accelerated by the impact of the pandemic in terms of how 
they prefer to access our financial products and services.  
While the way we do business has likely forever changed, 
the one constant will be our mission-driven focus on doing 
well by doing good.  Just as we have always done, we are 
planning for how we can lead the way for our customers, 
communities and shareholders to achieve greater economic 
prosperity and quality of life in the coming years.

Thank you for your continued commitment to and 
investment in German American.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Schroeder
Chairman & CEO

Early in 2020, with the outbreak of the pandemic, our priorities 

quickly shifted to provide critical needs to our German American 

team, our customers, and our communities. Our team swiftly 

pivoted to new work environments, remote workspaces, and virtual 

meetings, while adapting to PPE and stringent sanitization and 

cleaning procedures. Following federal, state and local guidance, we 

modified our operations and supported each other as we remained 

open as an essential business to serve the financial needs of our 

customers and our communities. 

Our business customers relied on us to stay updated on the

ever-changing guidelines of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) 

loans and to help them process both their PPP loans and, thereafter, 

their forgiveness applications. From stimulus payments to guidance 

on market fluctuations, our banking, insurance, investments and 

wealth management teams fulfilled our promise to be a financial 

resource for our customers. 

The strong connections of our local leaders in their local 

communities helped guide our 2020 community giving to make 

the greatest impact to help meet the needs of the citizens. We 

supported schools, food banks, the medical community, charitable 

organizations and local businesses which are the life blood of local 

communities.

Our mission-driven approach to managing our Company through 

the 2020 year, along with our deep-seated business values of 

relationships, trust, people and performance, were key in achieving 

our 11th consecutive year of record performance. German American 
has experienced and outlasted the effects of wars, boom times, 
political changes, fluctuations in local, state and federal economics, 

the rise of a global economy, a plethora of changes in the banking 

landscape, and now we add on the 2020 pandemic. We firmly 

believe that our model of delivering financial services through local, 

financial professionals, who are also leaders in their communities 

and have a servant mindset to help communities thrive so their 

people can prosper, sets us apart from our competition. We live this 

belief and vision, setting our standards high to deliver it daily.

GABC Management Succession
Effective January 1, 2021, in conjunction with our Company’s ongoing executive management succession plan,
Clay W. Ewing assumed a senior advisory position as Executive Vice Chairman in anticipation of his retirement during 
the second quarter of 2021. At that time, D. Neil Dauby assumed the position of President & Chief Operating Officer.

Clay Ewing joined German American in 1994 when our Company recruited him to assist with the formation of a new 
bank in our family of community banks. He served as President & CEO of that banking subsidiary before joining 
the corporate team in 1999, where he served in an executive capacity with responsibility for various aspects of 
the Company’s banking operations, culminating in his appointment as President, as well as Corporate Secretary of 
German American Bancorp, Inc. 

During his tenure with German American, Clay held the primary responsibility for the integration of multiple acquired 
banking institutions, as well as for the expansion of our branch banking network throughout our footprint.  He 
has been an integral part of our growth and success for over twenty-five years during a time when our Company 
grew from approximately $500 million to now nearly $5 billion in total assets.  Clay has also been dedicated to 
the advancement of the banking industry as proven by his involvement with the Indiana Bankers Association, for 
which he served on the board of directors, rising through the organization’s chairs to the position of chairman.  In 
recognition of his contribution to the banking industry, Clay received the Sagamore of the Wabash award, Indiana’s 
highest honor, from Governor Eric Holcomb in September 2018.

Neil Dauby began his career at our Company in 2001 as President & CEO of the same banking subsidiary Clay helped form in 1994.  He is a 
licensed CPA, and prior to joining German American, he provided accounting, audit and finance services to business clients throughout our 
current Kentucky market footprint. Neil’s strong financial background, combined with his dedication to building meaningful relationships with 
local business and community leaders on a personal and professional basis, enabled him to rise through the ranks. He served as a Regional 
President and as Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Banking Officer prior to being promoted to his current role as President & 
Chief Operating Officer.

Neil has a passion for developing talent within the German American team and for onboarding the top local financial professionals within 
each of the markets we serve.  He also is an advocate for keeping German American at the leading edge of what is rapidly growing client 
demand for technologically advanced delivery channels for financial products and services.  Neil is our Company’s biggest proponent for 
combining the best of digitalization with German American’s long tradition of exceptional customer service.

“Our Company has been extremely fortunate to have had someone of Clay’s caliber and expertise to lead our banking operations for more 
than twenty years.  Without his amazing management and organizational abilities, our successes of the past quarter century would not have 
been possible.  As we take this initial step in our executive management succession plan, we’re extremely grateful to Clay for his many years 
of dedicated service to the Company and for his willingness to be in place to help us transition his responsibilities to our next generation of 
leadership,” states Mark Schroeder, Chairman & CEO. “We are also extremely grateful to Neil for stepping forward to assume senior executive 
management responsibilities within our Company in the coming years.  Neil’s unique set of skills within both banking and finance, as well as 
his strong business relationships throughout our footprint in both Southern Indiana and Kentucky, make Neil the ideal person to step into the 
role of President & Chief Operating Officer.”

Cautionary Note Regarding 
Forward-Looking Statements

This Summary Annual Report, including our CEO’s letter to our Shareholders beginning 

on Page 1, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private 

Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, relating to our expectations concerning 

our opportunities for future growth and prosperity, and other matters. Readers are 

cautioned that actual results and performance may differ materially from those 

expectations expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement due to the inherent 

uncertainties in predicting the future, and risks affecting German American and its stock, 

including those that are described in Item 1, “Business - Forward Looking Statements and 

Associated Risks” and in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our accompanying Annual Report on 

Form 10-K. You may review that document (and our other SEC filings) via the internet 

through the Investor Relations section of our website, www.germanamerican.com. This 

report speaks only as of February 26, 2021, and we do not promise anyone that it will be 

updated for changes or events after that date.
