"During the past year, I have found it increasingly difficult to balance my time commitments between personal and family interests and my duties as a director," stated Bill Vieth. "I have enjoyed my tenure with Integra and wish the entire organization continued success. Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of Integra."

"We really appreciate Bill's involvement and insight at Integra both as an executive and director. While we fully understand Bill's desire to spend more time with his family and with his passion for photography, we also know we will probably see him even more at the soccer fields," stated Mike Vea, Chairman, President and CEO.

Mr. Vieth joined Integra Bank in 2000, serving as chairman until 2001. He was appointed a director of Integra Bank Corporation in 2002.
