SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus. Because this is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. Therefore, you should also read the more detailed information set forth in this prospectus, our financial statements and the other information that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this prospectus assumes that the underwriters will not exercise their option to purchase additional preferred securities and convertible preferred securities to cover over-allotments.

Irwin Financial Corporation

Irwin Financial Corporation, headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, is a diversified financial services company organized as an Indiana bank holding company in May of 1972. Our major subsidiaries are Irwin Union Bank and Trust Company, a commercial bank; Irwin Mortgage Corporation, a mortgage banking company; Irwin Home Equity Corporation, a consumer home equity lending company; Irwin Business Finance Corporation, an equipment leasing subsidiary; and Irwin Ventures Incorporated, a venture capital company. Our strategy encourages a diverse revenue stream and we focus on niches in financial services where we believe we can optimize the productivity of our capital and where our experience can provide a competitive advantage.

At June 30, 2000, Irwin had total assets of $2 billion and shareholders' equity of $173 million. While continuing to grow our franchise, over the five- and ten-year periods ending December 31, 1999, respectively:

. our return on average equity has averaged 21.47% and 21.31%;

. our earnings per share has compounded at an average annual growth rate of 14.45% and 24.48%;

. our book value per share has compounded at an average annual growth rate of 14.58% and 18.55%;

. our annual net charge offs to average loans and leases averaged 0.40% and
0.44%; and

. our ratio of year-end allowance for loan and lease losses to total average loans and leases averaged 1.46% and 1.44%.

We attribute the strong profitability reflected in these results primarily to the following:

. We pursue complementary consumer and commercial finance niches through our bank holding company structure;

. Our significant insider ownership, approximately 57% as of June 30, 2000, aligns management's interests with those of both creditors and shareholders. While this concentrated ownership enables management to control the outcome of all shareholder votes, we believe it also heightens management's emphasis on creditworthy, profitable growth;

. Our management teams, both at the parent company and in each line of business, have substantial tenure with Irwin and within the financial services industry. Our financial performance over the past 10 years reflects the success of strategies pursued by this core management team. Many of the strategies we initiate have been innovative and progressive in the financial services industry; and

. Our product and geographic market diversification has allowed us to be opportunistic in new ventures and has resulted in a relatively stable revenue and earnings stream throughout various economic environments and cycles.

The following table summarizes Irwin's financial performance over the past five and a half years:

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is to operate as an interrelated group of specialized financial services companies which focus on selected markets where competitive advantages are perceived and optimize the productivity of our capital base.

. Interrelated Group of Specialized Financial Services Companies. We are organized into five principal lines of business: commercial banking, mortgage banking, home equity lending, equipment leasing, and venture capital. Each line of business has a separate management team who operate their niche as a separate business unit responsible for performance goals specific to that particular line of business. Our structure allows the senior management team of each line of business to focus their efforts on understanding their customers and meeting the needs of the markets they serve. This structure also promotes accountability among managers of each enterprise. At the same time, Irwin at the parent level works actively to add value to our lines of business through interaction with the management teams, capitalizing on interrelationships and providing centralized services, and overall organizational decisions. In addition, diversification among business lines makes our consolidated earnings less susceptible to economic and interest rate fluctuations than more traditional commercial banks. The following table shows our net income by line of business for the past five and a half years.

. Focus on Selected Markets Where Competitive Advantages Are Perceived.
When selecting markets to enter, we choose ones where we believe we have or can establish a sustainable competitive advantage based upon a dedication to customer service, responsive decision making and product innovation. We seek to operate in businesses where our skills are compatible with requirements for success and where we believe the parent company can add value.

. Optimize the Productivity of Our Capital Base. We are highly regulated as to the amount of assets to equity we can have on a consolidated holding company basis and at Irwin Union Bank on a stand-alone basis. The amount of our regulatory capital affects the amount of assets that can be carried on our balance sheet. For this reason, our strategy is to balance growth between:

. businesses that require us to carry assets on our balance sheet (and are, therefore, capital-intensive such as Irwin Union Bank), and

. businesses that produce additional revenues and profits for us without adding proportionately to our asset size (less capital-intensive opportunities such as Irwin Mortgage).

We believe that, by optimizing the productivity of our capital, we can produce a larger stream of revenues and profits from our capital base than if we focused principally on asset growth.

The result of this strategy is that we derive a larger proportion of our revenue from fee income than from net interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, 71.12% of our total revenues were derived from non- interest income compared to 75.16% for the first six months of 1999, and 28.88% of our total revenues were derived from net interest income during the first half of 2000 compared to 24.84% during the first half of 1999. Historically, we have also optimized our capital and enhanced our net interest margin by using Irwin Union Bank's ability to generate funding through deposits to provide a lower cost of funding than we could otherwise obtain through borrowings.

Major Lines of Business

Irwin Financial Corporation is a regulated bank holding company. We conduct our commercial and consumer finance businesses through separate operating subsidiaries. Under this ownership structure, our separate businesses hold and fund the majority of their assets through the bank. This provides additional liquidity and results in regulatory oversight of each of our lines of business.

. Commercial Banking. Irwin Union Bank is a full service commercial bank offering a wide variety of services to individuals, businesses, and institutional and governmental customers in selected markets. The bank focuses on credit and credit-related products for small businesses and business owners. In recent years, the bank has grown by selectively opening new offices in markets outside of the bank's historical markets in south-central Indiana. Irwin Union Bank currently has 20 banking facilities in Indiana, located throughout nine counties, primarily in the central and south-central portion of the state. The bank also has four banking branches outside Indiana: three branches in Michigan--located in Kalamazoo, established in June 1999; Grandville (near Grand Rapids), established in October 1999; and Traverse City, established in May 2000-- and one branch in Carson City, Nevada, established in December 1999. Irwin Union Bank also has loan production offices in Brentwood, Missouri (near St. Louis), established in 1999, and Louisville, Kentucky and Salt Lake City, Utah established in 2000. Offices in Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona, are expected to open in the fourth quarter, 2000. Under its growth plan, Irwin Union Bank has targeted and expects to continue to target economically strong metropolitan markets where we believe customers have been negatively impacted by recent bank consolidation. In markets management identifies as attractive opportunities, the bank works to hire experienced bank officers who have strong local ties and who can focus on providing personalized lending services to small businesses in that market. The bank's strategy is to enter a new market only after recruiting a qualified leader. To facilitate our banking expansion plans, we have applied to the Office of Thrift Supervision to establish a federal savings bank subsidiary. The federal savings bank charter would enable us to expand into markets beyond where Irwin Union Bank is currently permitted to branch. The following table shows selected financial data of our commercial banking line of business.

. Mortgage Banking. Irwin Mortgage originates, purchases and services conventional and government agency backed (i.e., FHA and VA) residential mortgage loans nationwide. Irwin Mortgage utilizes a niche strategy, focusing on first-time homeowners. The majority of its mortgage originations are either insured by an agency of the federal government or, in the case of conventional mortgages, meet requirements for resale to the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. This niche has provided Irwin Mortgage with an acceptable return on investment while focusing on loans with low credit risk attributes. Irwin Mortgage sells mortgage loans to institutional and private investors but may retain servicing rights to the loans that it originates or purchases from correspondents. This balance between mortgage loan originations and mortgage loan servicing provides an economic hedge against interest rate changes. In rising interest rate environments, the value of our mortgage servicing portfolio generally increases as prepayment expectations decline, and in declining interest rate environments, the value of our mortgage production franchise generally increases.

In addition to the mortgage servicing portfolio shown on the balance sheet, Irwin Mortgage has servicing assets valued at $89.0 million as of June 30, 2000. These assets are not recorded on the balance sheet because of provisions in generally accepted accounting principles in effect at the time the assets were originated which have since changed.

As a complement to its primary niche, Irwin Mortgage also originates, to a limited degree, non-prime first mortgage loans. This market is comprised of borrowers who do not qualify for first mortgages that conform to secondary market standards. These loans are sold on a non-recourse, service-released basis to private investors.

Irwin Mortgage utilizes retail, wholesale, direct, and Internet channels to originate and purchase mortgage loans. At June 30, 2000, Irwin Mortgage operated 80 production and satellite offices in 28 states. Irwin Mortgage is currently our largest contributor to revenue, comprising 48.96% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The mortgage banking line of business accounted for 69.48% of total revenues for the same period in 1999. The following table shows selected financial data of our mortgage banking line of business.

. Home Equity Lending. Irwin Home Equity, in conjunction with the bank, originates and services home equity loans and lines of credit nationwide. We either hold the loans in portfolio at the bank or sell them through securitization transactions, and Irwin Home Equity continues to service them. We generally recognize gain when we sell our loans through securitization. The loans are marketed through direct mail and telemarketing in 25 states and through Internet-based solicitations. We target creditworthy, homeowning consumers who are active unsecured credit card debt users. Target customers are pre-selected using proprietary models based on several criteria including the customer's previous use of credit. In 1997 and 1998, we significantly redesigned our product offerings to better position Irwin Home Equity in the future. We introduced new products with origination and prepayment fees and home equity loans with 125% loan-to-value ratios. Over 60% of our current home equity lending portfolio is protected with prepayment penalties. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, home equity loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 100% made up 57.9% of our loan originations (including 37.5% from an acquired pool). We plan to continue in the near term to originate a high level of loans in this line of business that have high loan-to-value ratios. We also expect to continue to expand our home equity lending line of business through the development of new products, the extension of existing products to newly eligible customers, and by the addition of brokers, correspondents and Internet sites.

The following table shows selected financial data of our home equity line of business.

. Equipment Leasing. Irwin Business Finance originates and services small to medium-sized equipment leases and loans that to date have been held in portfolio at the bank. The leasing company began operations in January 2000. We source equipment leasing transactions from an established national network of brokers and vendors. We use a web-based e-commerce system that provides for automated credit scoring, documentation and portfolio management services. We recently acquired a 78% interest in Onset Capital Corporation, a Canadian small ticket leasing company. Onset's focus on vendor-based relationships should complement our existing U.S.-based leasing business.

. Venture Capital. Irwin Ventures makes investments in early stage companies in the financial services industry and related fields. In August 1999, Irwin Ventures established Irwin Ventures Incorporated-- SBIC, which has received a Small Business Investment Company license. We expect to provide Irwin Ventures' portfolio companies the benefit of our management experience in the developing strategies and plans in the financial services marketplace. In addition, contacts made through venture activities are expected to benefit management of our other lines of business through the sharing of technologies and market opportunities.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities involves a number of risks. We urge you to read all of the information contained in this prospectus. In addition, we urge you to consider carefully the following factors in evaluating an investment in Irwin and the trusts before you purchase any of the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities offered by this prospectus.

Because each trust will rely on the payments it receives on the debentures it owns to fund all payments on the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities, and because each trust may distribute the debentures it owns in exchange for the preferred securities that it issues, you are making an investment decision that relates to the debentures being issued by us as well as the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities. You should carefully review the information in this prospectus about the preferred securities, the convertible preferred securities, the debentures, the convertible debentures and the guarantees.

Because the convertible preferred securities are convertible into our common stock as described in this prospectus, prospective purchasers of convertible preferred securities are also making an investment decision with regard to our common stock. For this reason, you should also carefully review the information in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference about our business and our common stock.

Risks Related to an Investment in Irwin Financial Corporation

Our overall financial performance will likely depend more significantly on the results of our different specialized financial services businesses than on our commercial banking business.

We operate in diversified financial services businesses, and in recent years the performance of our mortgage banking and home equity lending businesses have had a larger effect on our consolidated results than our commercial banking line of business. Our future earnings will also be affected by the performance of our two newer businesses, Irwin Business Finance, which we started operating at the beginning of 2000 and recently expanded, and Irwin Ventures which we started in August 1999. We may reduce or exit current lines of business and pursue other lines of business if we believe other financial service niches offer us more attractive opportunities. We could be adversely affected by costs associated with implementing this strategy and uncertainties involved in new lines of business. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in evaluating the risk/reward attributes of the financial service or product niches we choose to pursue.

We may be adversely affected by interest rate changes.

We and our subsidiaries are subject to interest rate risk in all aspects of our finance business, although interest rate sensitivity impacts our various lines of business differently. Changes in interest rates will likely affect the pricing of loans and deposits and the value that we can recognize on the sale of mortgage and home equity loan originations or servicing portfolios. Interest rates tend to have opposite effects on the loan production aspect and the servicing aspect of these two lines of business. Changes in interest rates may also expose us to write-downs in the carrying value of servicing assets and to trading losses related to interest-only instruments that we often retain when selling or securitizing home equity loans.

Like other banks and financial institutions, Irwin Union Bank and Irwin Business Finance are principally dependent on earnings derived from net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and the interest expense paid on other borrowings, including deposits in the case of the bank. Our interest income and interest expense are affected by general economic conditions and by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve.

Although we have taken measures intended to manage the risks of operating in a changing interest rate environment, we may not be able to effectively mitigate interest rate sensitivity. In addition, there are costs associated with our risk management techniques, and these costs could be substantial. Our strategies include, but are not limited to, modeling interest rate scenarios, using financial hedging instruments, match-funding certain loan assets, selling selected servicing rights and maintaining a strong loan production operation to offset interest rate risk.

Our operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to secure adequate funding; our reliance on wholesale funding sources exposes us to potential liquidity risk.

Due to balance sheet growth and increased competition for deposits in Irwin Union Bank's markets, we have in recent months increased our reliance on wholesale funding, including short-term credit facilities, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and brokered deposits. Wholesale funding sources have in the past proven to be somewhat volatile in our industry depending on the varying levels of confidence these investors have in commercial and consumer finance businesses. For this reason, the continued availability to us of these funding sources is uncertain, and we could be adversely impacted if our specialized financial services niches fall out of favor with wholesale lenders. Our financial flexibility will be severely constrained if we are unable to renew our wholesale funding or if adequate financing is not available in the future at acceptable rates of interest. We may not have sufficient liquidity to continue to fund new loan or lease originations, and we could need to liquidate loans or other assets unexpectedly in order to repay obligations as they mature. We regularly resell the majority of our mortgage loan originations into the secondary market, and Irwin Home Equity and Irwin Business Finance also seek to sell loans into the secondary market in the regular course of business as a source of liquidity. At times, some of our financial assets, such as nontraditional, nonprime mortgage and high loan-to-value home equity loans, may not be readily marketable, and we may not be able to sell assets when required at favorable prices. This could adversely affect our earnings and our ability to pay interest on the debentures.

We have credit risk inherent in the asset portfolios that we own as well as in certain assets that we have sold but continue to service.

Some borrowers may not repay loans that we make to them. This risk is inherent in our finance businesses. Like all financial institutions, we maintain an allowance for loan and lease losses to absorb the level of losses that we think is probable in the portfolios that we own, but our allowance for loan and lease losses may not be sufficient to cover the loan and lease losses that we may actually incur. While we maintain a reserve at a level management believes is adequate, our charge-offs could exceed these reserves. In particular, at June 30, 2000, approximately 42.48% of our total managed home equity portfolio consisted of high loan-to-value loans that are not fully collateralized by interests in real estate. If we experience defaults in these loans to a greater extent than we anticipated, this could adversely affect our ability to pay interest on the debentures.

In our home equity lending line of business, some assets are reflected on our balance sheet at the net present value of the future revenue stream of the instruments measured at the time we sell the underlying portfolio of loans. These assets are interest-only instruments and generally represent residual interests in loans that we have sold or securitized. From time to time we may also purchase interest-only instruments that relate to portfolios of loans securitized by others. Payment defaults by borrowers on the related loans will cause deterioration in the value of these assets. If we do not collect the interest we expect, our future earnings will be adversely affected because we are required to record a trading loss equal to the amount the asset is impaired.

Our business may be adversely affected by the highly regulated environment in which we operate.

Irwin and our subsidiaries are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Recently enacted, proposed and future legislation and regulations have had, will continue to have or may have significant impact on the financial services industry. Recent and proposed state legislative action to limit the use of fees, points, and interest rates on consumer loans may adversely affect the market for some of our residential mortgage loan products. In addition, the principal banking regulators have recently issued a proposal to change the capital treatment of residual interests from loans securitized by the banking institution. The rules being proposed are intended to limit the use of residual interests including interest-only strips which are often retained by lenders like us when securitizing a pool of loans. If these rules are adopted, we are likely to reduce our use of securitization structures that create interest-only strips, principally in our home equity line of business, which, in turn, could change the revenue recognition pattern in that line of our business as well as others. These and other potential changes in regulation or government policies could increase our costs of doing business and could adversely affect our operations.

Ownership of our common stock is concentrated in persons affiliated with us.

Our chairman, William I. Miller, has voting control over more than 50% of our common stock. Together with Mr. Miller, directors and executive officers of Irwin beneficially own approximately 57% of our common stock. These persons have the ability to control the outcome of all shareholder votes and to direct our affairs and business. This voting power would enable them to cause actions to be taken that may prove to be inconsistent with the interests of non- affiliated shareholders.

Our future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in various highly competitive industries.

The financial services business, including commercial banking, mortgage banking, home equity lending and leasing, is highly competitive, and we and our operating subsidiaries encounter strong direct competition for deposits, loans and other financial services in all of our market areas in each of our lines of business. Our principal competitors include other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, mutual funds, money market funds, finance companies, trust companies, insurers, leasing companies, credit unions, mortgage companies, private issuers of debt obligations, venture capital firms, and suppliers of other investment alternatives, such as securities firms. Many of our non-bank competitors are not subject to the same degree of regulation as that imposed on bank holding companies, federally insured Indiana chartered banks or federal savings banks. As a result, such non-bank competitors have advantages over us in providing certain services. Many of these financial institutions, lending and leasing companies and other businesses are significantly larger than Irwin and have greater access to capital and other resources. In addition, our ability to compete effectively in our lines of business is also dependent on our ability to adapt successfully to technological changes within the banking and financial services industries generally.

Risks Related to an Investment in the Preferred Securities and the Convertible Preferred Securities

If we do not make interest payments under the debentures or the convertible debentures, the related trust will be unable to pay distributions and liquidation amounts. The guarantee would not apply because the guarantee covers payments only if the trust has funds available.

Each trust will depend solely on our payments on the debentures or the convertible debentures to pay amounts due to you on the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities, as the case may be. If we default on our obligation to pay the principal or interest on the debentures or the convertible debentures, the applicable trust will not have sufficient funds to pay distributions or the liquidation amount on the related preferred securities. In that case, you will not be able to rely on the applicable guarantee for payment of these amounts because the guarantee only applies if the applicable trust has sufficient funds to make distributions or to pay the liquidation amount. Instead, you or the applicable property trustee will have to institute a direct action against us to enforce the property trustee's rights under the indenture relating to the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be.

To the extent we must rely on dividends from our subsidiaries to make interest payments on the debentures or the convertible debentures to the applicable trust, our available cash flow may be restricted.

We are a holding company and substantially all of our assets are held by our subsidiaries, principally at Irwin Union Bank. Our ability to make payments on the debentures and the convertible debentures when due will depend primarily on available cash resources at the bank holding company and dividends from our subsidiaries. Dividend payments or extensions of credit from the bank are subject to regulatory limitations, generally based on capital levels and current and retained earnings, imposed by the various regulatory agencies with authority over our banking subsidiary. The ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends is also subject to their profitability, financial condition, capital expenditures and other cash flow requirements. Our subsidiaries may not be able to pay dividends in the future.

The debentures, the convertible debentures and the guarantees rank lower than most of our other indebtedness and our holding company structure effectively subordinates any claims against us to those of our subsidiaries' creditors.

Our obligations under the debentures, the convertible debentures and the guarantees are unsecured and will rank junior in priority of payment to our existing and future senior and subordinated indebtedness, which totaled $92.6 million of outstanding principal amount at June 30, 2000. The issuance of the debentures, the convertible debentures, the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities does not limit our ability or the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, guarantees or other liabilities.

Because we are a holding company, the creditors of our subsidiaries, including depositors, also will have priority over you in any distribution of our subsidiaries' assets in liquidation, reorganization or otherwise. Accordingly, the debentures, the convertible debentures and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries, and you should look only to our assets for payments on the preferred securities, the convertible preferred securities, the debentures and the convertible debentures.

We have the option to defer interest payments on the debentures and the convertible debentures for substantial periods.

We may, at one or more times, defer interest payments on the debentures and the convertible debentures for up to 20 consecutive quarters. If we defer interest payments on the debentures or the convertible debentures, the applicable trust will defer distributions on the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, during any deferral period. During a deferral period, you will be required to recognize as income for federal income tax purposes the amount approximately equal to the interest that accrues on your proportionate share of the debentures or the convertible debentures, held by the applicable trust in the tax year in which that interest accrues, even though you will not receive these amounts until a later date.

You will also not receive the cash related to any accrued and unpaid interest from the applicable trust if you sell the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, before the end of any deferral period. During a deferral period, accrued but unpaid distributions will increase your tax basis in the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities, as the case may be. If you sell the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities during a deferral period, your increased tax basis will decrease the amount of any capital gain or increase the amount of any capital loss that you may have otherwise realized on the sale. A capital loss, except in certain limited circumstances, cannot be applied to offset ordinary income. As a result, deferral of distributions could result in ordinary income, and a related tax liability for the holder, and a capital loss that may only be used to offset a capital gain.

We do not currently intend to exercise our rights to defer interest payments on the debentures or the convertible debentures. However, if we do defer interest payments, the market price of the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, would likely be adversely affected. The preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities may trade at a price that does not fully reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest on the debentures or the convertible debentures. If you sell the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities during a deferral period, you may not receive the same return on investment as someone who continues to hold the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities. Because of our right to defer interest payments, the market price of the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities may be more volatile than the market prices of other securities without the deferral feature.

We have made only limited covenants in the indenture and the trust agreement.

The indentures governing the debentures and the convertible debentures and the trust agreements governing the trusts do not require us to maintain any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity. The instruments do not protect holders of the debentures, the convertible debentures, the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities in the event we experience significant adverse changes in our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, neither the indentures nor the trust agreements limit our ability or the ability of any subsidiary to incur additional indebtedness. Therefore, you should not consider the provisions of these governing instruments as a significant factor in evaluating whether we will be able to comply with our obligations under the debentures, the convertible debentures, or the guarantees.

We may redeem the debentures and the convertible debentures before September 30, 2030.

Under the following circumstances, we may redeem the debentures or the convertible debentures or both before their stated maturity without payment of premium:

. We may redeem the debentures and the convertible debentures, in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 30, 2005.

. We may redeem the debentures and the convertible debentures in whole, but not in part, within 180 days after certain occurrences at any time during the life of the trust. These occurrences may include adverse tax, investment company or bank regulatory developments.

We have additional rights to redeem the convertible debentures early under certain conditions. See the discussion under "--Additional Risks Related to the Convertible Preferred Securities" on page 22.

You should assume that an early redemption may be attractive to us if we are able to obtain capital at a lower cost than we must pay on the debentures or the convertible debentures or if it is otherwise in our interest to redeem the debentures or the convertible debentures. If the debentures or the convertible debentures are redeemed, the applicable trust must redeem preferred securities or convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, having an aggregate liquidation amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of debentures or the convertible debentures redeemed, and you may be required to reinvest your principal at a time when you may not be able to earn a return that is as high as you were earning on the preferred securities or convertible preferred securities, as the case may be.

We can distribute the debentures and the convertible debentures to you, which may have adverse tax consequences for you; this right could also adversely affect the market price of the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities.

Each trust may be dissolved at any time before maturity of the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be. If this happens, the trustees may distribute the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be, to you under the terms of the related trust agreement.

We cannot predict the market prices for the debentures or the convertible debentures that may be distributed in exchange for preferred securities or convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, upon liquidation of the applicable trust. The preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities, or the debentures and the convertible debentures that you may receive if the applicable trust is liquidated, may trade at a discount to the price that you paid to purchase the preferred securities or convertible preferred securities, as the case may be. Because you may receive debentures or the convertible debentures, your investment decision with regard to the preferred securities or convertible preferred securities will also be an investment decision with regard to the debentures and the convertible debentures, as the case may be. You should carefully review all of the information contained in this prospectus regarding the debentures and the convertible debentures.

Under current interpretations of federal income tax laws supporting classification of each of the trusts as a grantor trust for tax purposes, a distribution of the debentures or the convertible debentures to you upon the dissolution of the applicable trust would not be a taxable event to you. Nevertheless, if the applicable trust is classified for federal income tax purposes as an association taxable as a corporation at the time it is dissolved, the distribution of the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be, would be a taxable event to you. In addition, if there is a change in law, a distribution of the debentures or the convertible debentures upon the dissolution of the applicable trust could be a taxable event to you.

There is no current public market for the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities and their market prices may be subject to significant fluctuations.

There is currently no public market for the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities. Although we have applied to have the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities included on the Nasdaq National Market, there is no guarantee that an active or liquid trading market will develop for the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities or that the quotation of the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities will continue on the Nasdaq National Market. If an active trading market does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, will be adversely affected. Even if an active public market does develop, there is no guarantee that the market price for the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities will equal or exceed the price you pay for the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities.

Future trading prices of the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to prevailing interest rates, our future operating results and financial condition, the market for similar securities and general economic and market conditions. The initial public offering price of the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities has been set at the applicable liquidation amount of the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, and may be greater than the market price of the applicable security following the offering.

The market price for the preferred securities or the convertible preferred securities and the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be, that you may receive in a distribution, is also likely to decline during any period that we are deferring interest payments on the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be.

You must rely on the applicable property trustee to enforce your rights if there is an event of default under either indenture.

You may not be able to directly enforce your rights against us if an event of default under the applicable indenture occurs. If an event of default under the applicable indenture occurs and is continuing, this event will also be an event of default under the applicable trust agreement. In that case, you must rely on the enforcement by the applicable property trustee of its rights as holder of the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be, against us. The holders of a majority in liquidation amount of the preferred securities or convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, will have the right to direct the applicable property trustee to enforce its rights. If the property trustee does not enforce its rights following an event of default and a request by the record holders to do so, any record holder may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, take action directly against us to enforce the applicable property trustee's rights. If an event of default occurs under the applicable trust agreement that is attributable to our failure to pay interest or principal on the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be, or if we default under the applicable guarantee, you may proceed directly against us. You will not be able to exercise directly any other remedies available to the holders of the debentures or the convertible debentures, as the case may be, unless the applicable property trustee fails to do so.

As a holder of preferred securities or convertible preferred securities you have limited voting rights.

Holders of preferred securities and convertible preferred securities have limited voting rights. Your voting rights pertain primarily to amendments to the applicable trust agreement. In general, only we can replace or remove any of the trustees. However, if an event of default under the applicable trust agreement occurs and is continuing, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the preferred securities or convertible preferred securities, as the case may be, may replace the applicable property trustee and the applicable Delaware trustee.

Additional Risks Related to the Convertible Preferred Securities

We may redeem the convertible debentures earlier than September 30, 2005 in certain circumstances.

As long as the fair market value of our common stock has been at least 125% of the conversion price of the convertible preferred securities for a period of 20 consecutive trading days ending within five business days of the date of notice of redemption, we have the option to redeem any or all of the outstanding convertible debentures prior to maturity in the following circumstances:

. on or after September 30, 2003 but before September 30, 2004, upon payment of a redemption premium equal to % of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the convertible debentures to the date of redemption; and

. on or after September 30, 2004 but before September 30, 2005, upon payment of a redemption premium equal to % of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the convertible debentures to the date of redemption.

The convertible debentures are more deeply subordinated and will rank lower than debentures issued in connection with our other trust preferred financings.

The convertible debentures will be unsecured and will rank junior to all of our senior and subordinated debt, including indebtedness we may incur in the future, and will be further subordinated to any debt issued in connection with trust preferred securities intended to qualify for "Tier 1" capital treatment unless those debt securities are also convertible into our common stock. Therefore, the $50 million of subordinated debentures we issued to IFC Capital Trust I and the debentures that we will be issuing to IFC Capital Trust II will rank senior to the convertible debentures that we will be issuing to IFC Capital Trust III.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Irwin intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. You can identify these statements from our use of the words "estimate," "project," "believe," "intend," "anticipate," "expect," "target" and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements may include, among other things:

. statements relating to projected growth; anticipated improvements in earnings, earnings per share, and other financial performance measures; and management's long term performance goals;

. statements relating to the anticipated effects on results of operations or financial condition from expected developments or events;

. statements relating to our business and growth strategies, including potential acquisitions; and

. any other statements which are not historical facts.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from our expectations of future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition, our past results of operations do not necessarily indicate our future results. We discuss these and other uncertainties in the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus beginning on page 16.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The trusts will invest all of the proceeds from the sale of the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities in the corresponding debentures and convertible debentures. We anticipate that the net proceeds to Irwin from the sale of the debentures and convertible debentures will be approximately $ million after deduction of offering expenses, estimated to be $550,000, and deduction of underwriting commissions.

The purpose of the offering is to provide capital to fund continued growth at our subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes. We expect to contribute the majority of the net proceeds to Irwin Union Bank to fund loans, including commercial loans, home equity loans and leases from our various lines of business, including but not limited to, a possible $87 million asset acquisition of seasoned home equity lines of credit and related interest-only strips resulting from a previous securitization of the underlying loans by the seller.

As of August 22, 2000, there were approximately 1,715 holders of record of our common stock. The last reported sales price of the common stock on Nasdaq on September 25, 2000, was $16.6875.

Holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive any cash dividends as may be declared by our board of directors. The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings and financial condition, the capital requirements of our subsidiaries, regulatory conditions and considerations and such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant.

As a holding company, Irwin is ultimately dependent upon its subsidiaries to provide funding for its operating expenses, debt service and dividends. Various banking laws applicable to our banking subsidiary limit the payment of dividends, management fees and other distributions by the bank to us and may therefore limit our ability to make dividend payments.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization at June 30, 2000, on a historical basis and as adjusted for the offering of the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities (assuming no exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment options) and the application of the estimated net proceeds from the corresponding sale of the debentures and the convertible debentures to the applicable trust as if such sale had been consummated on June 30, 2000. This data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference into this prospectus from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, and from our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2000.

(1) Long-term debt excludes $415,000 of capitalized issuance costs.

(2) Our outstanding preferred securities are shown on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2000 net of capitalized issuance costs of $1,893,000; as adjusted, the preferred securities and convertible preferred securities to be issued in this offering are shown net of issuance costs, estimated to be $3,925,000 in total.
(3) The capital ratios, as adjusted, are computed including the estimated net proceeds from the sale of the preferred securities, in a manner consistent with Federal Reserve regulations.
(4) The leverage ratio is core capital divided by average quarterly assets, after deducting intangible assets and net deferred tax assets in excess of regulatory maximum limits.

(5) The preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities have been structured to qualify as Tier 1 capital. However, in calculating the amount of Tier 1 qualifying capital, the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities, together with any other trust preferred securities or cumulative preferred stock of Irwin that may be outstanding in the future, can only be included up to the amount constituting 25% of total Tier 1 capital. As adjusted for this offering, Irwin's Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2000, would have been approximately $226 million, of which $8 million would have been attributable to the preferred securities and the convertible preferred securities offered by this prospectus.
