Item 8.01. Other Events

Wintrust Financial Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the retrospective adoption of a new accounting pronouncement with respect to the financial information contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2012) and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2012), during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which amends the presentation formats permitted for reporting other comprehensive income. This ASU no longer allows other comprehensive income to be presented as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Entities must present other comprehensive income and its components in a single statement along with net income or in a separate, consecutive statement of other comprehensive income. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05 in the first quarter of 2012.

The following presents the retrospective application of ASU 2011-05, as revised by FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05”, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and should be read in conjunction with the information in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011:
