CHICAGO - January 23, 2013 - Associated Banc-Corp (NASDAQ: ASBC) today announced it will combine and relocate four office locations in Chicago to provide customers and colleagues with greater convenience.

More than 125 colleagues will move from Associated's offices in the Prudential Plaza, Aon Center, 190 LaSalle and 502 Lake Cook Road. All Associated staff will relocate from 190 LaSalle and 502 Lake Cook Road, while some staff will remain in the Prudential Plaza and AON Center.
"Our new space at West Monroe offers Associated the opportunity for continued growth," said Breck Hanson, executive vice president, head of commercial real estate for Associated Bank. "The building is ideally located between Union Station and Ogilvie Transportation Center allowing for optimized convenience for customers and colleagues. Additionally, being able to operate within Chicago's West Loop provides the bank with the ability to connect with key financial markets."
Within its new location, Associated will also have a full-service banking branch on the first floor creating additional employment opportunities.
The 525 West Monroe location is a Class A building and was awarded the LEED Gold Certificate by the U.S. Green Building Council in 2011.
