Item 8.01. Other Events.
On August 24, 2005, NorthWest Indiana Bancorp (the “Company”) issued a press release
announcing that it has terminated the study initiated in May 2005 to investigate the possibility of
ending the registration of its shares of common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The company had initiated the study as a result of escalating costs and allocation of management’s
time resulting from the pending implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by
reference.
