INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 1 to the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement (this “Schedule 13E-3”) is being filed by First Bancorp of Indiana, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with a proposed going private transaction, in which the Company will effect a 1-for-300 reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share. In the reverse stock split, the holders of record of the Company's common stock will receive one share of common stock for each 300 shares they hold immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split. Those shareholders who, immediately following the reverse stock split, would hold only a fraction of a share of Company common stock will, in lieu thereof, be paid an amount, in cash, equal to $14.00 times such fraction of a share and will no longer be shareholders of the Company. Completion of the reverse stock split will result in the Company having less than 300 shareholders of its common stock, enabling it to elect to terminate the registration of its common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Following the reverse stock split, the Company will conduct a 300-for-1 forward stock split for those shareholders who, following the reverse stock split, continue to hold at least one whole share of Company common stock. As a result, registered shareholders who hold 300 or more shares prior to the split transaction will ultimately hold the same number of shares following the split transaction.

Under Indiana law and the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company may amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation to conduct both the reverse stock split and the forward stock split without the approval of the shareholders. Therefore, the Company is not seeking shareholder approval for these actions and no vote is sought in connection with these actions. The reverse stock split and the forward stock split will be conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company's going private disclosure document (the “Disclosure Document”).

The Schedule 13E-3 was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2008. This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13E-3 is being filed to reflect revisions to the Disclosure Document initially filed on such date.

The information contained in the Disclosure Document, including all annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Disclosure Document. As of the date hereof, the Disclosure Document is in preliminary form and is subject to completion or amendment. This Schedule 13E-3 will be further amended to reflect such completion or amendment of the Disclosure Document.
