ITEM 1. Financial Statements Continued:

ASSOCIATED BANC-CORP

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted or abbreviated. The information contained in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes in Associated Banc-Corp’s 2013 annual report on Form 10-K, should be referred to in connection with the reading of these unaudited interim financial statements.

NOTE 1: Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows of Associated Banc-Corp (individually referred to herein as the “Parent Company,” and together with all of its subsidiaries and affiliates, collectively referred to herein as the “Corporation”) for the periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation. The consolidated statements of income were modified from prior periods’ presentation to conform with the current period presentation, which shows a new provision for credit losses line item comprised of the provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded commitments. In prior periods’ presentation, the provision for unfunded commitments was reported as a component of losses other than loans in the consolidated statements of income. The presentation of the consolidated balance sheets remains unchanged with the allowance for loan losses presented as a valuation allowance with the related loan asset, while the allowance for unfunded commitments is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, goodwill impairment assessment, mortgage servicing rights valuation, and income taxes. Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure.

NOTE 2: New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In July 2013, the FASB issued an amendment to clarify the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied prospectively. The Corporation adopted the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2014, as required, with no material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

NOTE 3: Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per share are calculated utilizing the two-class method. Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares

Options to purchase approximately 3 million and 2 million shares were outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, but excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 4: Stock-Based Compensation

At March 31,June 30, 2014, the Corporation had one stock-based compensation plan, the 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan. The plan provides that restricted stock awards and stock options will immediately become fully vested upon retirement from the Corporation of those colleagues whose retirements meet the early retirement or normal retirement definitions under the plan (“retirement eligible colleagues”). All stock awardsoptions granted under this plan have an exercise price that is equal to the closing price of the Corporation’s stock on the grant date.

The Corporation may issue restricted common stock and restricted common stock units to certain key employees (collectively referred to as “restricted stock awards”). The shares of restricted stock are restricted as to transfer, but are not restricted as to dividend payment or voting rights. Restricted stock units receive dividend equivalents but do not have voting rights. The transfer restrictions primarily lapse over three or four years, depending upon whether the awards are service-based or performance-based. Service-based awards are contingent upon continued employment or meeting the requirements for retirement, and performance-based awards are based on earnings per share performance goals, total shareholder return, and continued employment or meeting the requirements for retirement.

The fair value of stock options granted is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, while the fair value of restricted stock awards is their fair market value on the date of grant. The fair values of stock options and restricted stock awards are amortized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the grants. Compensation expense recognized is included in personnel expense in the consolidated statements of income.

Assumptions are used in estimating the fair value of stock options granted. The weighted average expected life of the stock option represents the period of time that stock options are expected to be outstanding and is estimated using historical data of stock option exercises and forfeitures. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility is based on the implied volatility of the Corporation’s stock. The following assumptions were used in estimating the fair value for options granted in the first threesix months of 2014 and full year 2013.

 

   2014  2013 

Dividend yield

   2.00  2.00

Risk-free interest rate

   2.00  0.99

Weighted average expected volatility

   20.00  34.35

Weighted average expected life

   6 years    6 years  

Weighted average per share fair value of options

  $3.00  $3.80 

The Corporation is required to estimate potential forfeitures of stock grants and adjust compensation expense recorded accordingly. The estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized in the period of change and will also impact the amount of stock compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. The plan provides that restricted common stock and stock options will immediately become fully vested upon retirement from the Corporation of those colleagues whose retirements meet the early retirement or normal retirement definitions under the plan (“retirement eligible colleagues”).

The Corporation reviews the investment securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to monitor its exposure to other-than-temporary impairment. A determination as to whether a security’s decline in fair value is other-than-temporary takes into consideration numerous factors and the relative significance of any single factor can vary by security. Some factors the Corporation may consider in the other-than-temporary impairment analysis include, the length of time and extent to which the security has been in an unrealized loss position, changes in security ratings, financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, as well as security and industry specific economic conditions. In addition, with regards to its debt securities, the Corporation may also evaluate payment structure, whether there are defaulted payments or expected defaults, prepayment speeds, and the value of any underlying collateral. For certain debt securities in unrealized loss positions, the Corporation prepares cash flow analyses to compare the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security.

Based on the Corporation’s evaluation, management does not believe any unrealized loss at March 31,June 30, 2014 represents an other-than-temporary impairment as these unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the current market conditions, and not credit deterioration. The unrealized losses reported for residential mortgage-related securities relate to private-label residential mortgage-related securities as well as residential mortgage-related securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises such as the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). The unrealized losses reported for commercial mortgage-related securities relate to government agencysecurities issued securities, Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”).by GNMA. The Corporation currently does not intend to sell nor does it believe that it will be required to sell the securities contained in the above unrealized losses table before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The improvement in the unrealized loss position of the investment securities portfolio was due to a reduction in the overall level of interest rates from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014, as well as spread compression on mortgage-related and municipal securities, which increased the fair value of investment securities.

The following is a summary of the credit loss portion of other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings on debt securities for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank Stocks: The Corporation is required to maintain Federal Reserve stock and FHLB stock as a member of both the Federal Reserve System and the FHLB, and in amounts as required by these institutions. These equity securities are “restricted” in that they can only be sold back to the respective institutions or another member institution at par. Therefore, they are less liquid than other marketable equity securities and their fair value is equal to amortized cost. The Corporation had FHLB stock of $115 million at June 30, 2014 and $110 million at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and Federal Reserve Bank stock of $71 million at both March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Corporation reviewed these securities for impairment, including but not limited to, consideration of operating performance, the severity and duration of market value declines, as well as its liquidity and funding position. After evaluating all of these considerations, the Corporation believes the cost of these investments will be recovered and no impairment has been recorded on these securities during 2013 or the first threesix months of 2014.

The level of the allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount appropriate to provide for probable credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. In general, the change in the allowance for loan losses is a function of a number of factors, including but not limited to changes in the loan portfolio, net charge offs, trends in past due and impaired loans, and the level of potential problem loans. Management considers the allowance for loan losses a critical accounting policy, as assessing these numerous factors involves significant judgment.

The allowance for unfunded commitments is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable losses related to unfunded credit facilities (including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit) and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance is based upon an evaluation of the unfunded credit facilities, including an assessment of historical commitment utilization experience and credit risk grading of the loan. Net adjustments to the allowance for unfunded commitments are included in provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 12 for additional information on the allowance for unfunded commitments.

A summary of the changes in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, was as follows.

The allocation methodology used by the Corporation includes allocations for specifically identified impaired loans and loss factor allocations (used for both criticized and non-criticized loan categories), with a component primarily based on historical loss rates and a component primarily based on other qualitative factors. Management allocates the allowance for loan losses by pools of risk within each loan portfolio. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan portfolio is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the trend of future loan losses in any particular category. The total allowance for loan losses is available to absorb losses from any segment of the loan portfolio.

For comparison purposes, a summary of the changes in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the year ended December 31, 2013, was as follows.

Factors that are important to managing overall credit quality are sound loan underwriting and administration, systematic monitoring of existing loans and commitments, effective loan review on an ongoing basis, early identification of potential problems, and appropriate allowance for loancredit losses, nonaccrual and charge off policies.

For commercial loans, management has determined the pass credit quality indicator to include credits that exhibit acceptable financial statements, cash flow, and leverage. If any risk exists, it is mitigated by the loan structure, collateral, monitoring, or control. For consumer loans, performing loans include credits that are performing in accordance with the original contractual terms. Loans are

19


considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Special mention credits have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit. Potential problem loans are considered inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged. These loans generally have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses that may jeopardize liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Lastly, management considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the note agreement, including both principal and interest. Management has determined that commercial and consumer loan relationships that have nonaccrual status or have had their terms restructured in a troubled debt restructuring meet this impaired loan definition. Commercial loans classified as special mention, potential problem, and impaired are reviewed at a minimum on a quarterly basis, while pass and performing rated credits are reviewed on an annual basis or more frequently if the loan renewal is less than one year or if otherwise warranted.

*(a)Interest income recognized included $6 million of interest income recognized on accruing restructured loans for the year ended December 31, 2013.
(b)The fair value mark on impaired loans at December 31, 2013, was 71%. The fair value mark is calculated as the recorded investment, net of the related allowance, divided by the unpaid principal balance.

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Additionally, whenever management becomes aware of

24


facts or circumstances that may adversely impact the collectability of principal or interest on loans, it is management’s practice to place such loans on nonaccrual status immediately, rather than delaying such action until the loans become 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed, amortization of related deferred loan fees or costs is suspended, and income is recorded only to the extent that interest payments are subsequently received in cash and a determination has been made that the principal and interest of the loan is collectible. If collectability of the principal and interest is in doubt, payments received are applied to loan principal.

While an asset is in nonaccrual status, some or all of the cash interest payments received may be treated as interest income on a cash basis as long as the remaining recorded investment in the asset (i.e., after charge off of identified losses, if any) is deemed to be fully collectible. The determination as to the ultimate collectability of the asset’s remaining recorded investment must be supported by a current, well documented credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment, including consideration of the borrower’s sustained historical repayment performance and other relevant factors. A nonaccrual loan is returned to accrual status when all delinquent principal and interest payments become current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement, the borrower has demonstrated a period of sustained performance, and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt. A sustained period of repayment performance generally would be a minimum of six months.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“Restructured Loans”):

Loans are considered restructured loans if concessions have been granted to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. The concessions granted generally involve the modification of terms of the loan, such as changes in payment schedule or interest rate, which generally would not otherwise be considered. Restructured loans can involve loans remaining on nonaccrual, moving to nonaccrual, or continuing on accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. Nonaccrual restructured loans are included and treated with all other nonaccrual loans. In addition, all accruing restructured loans are reported as troubled debt restructurings, which are considered and accounted for as impaired loans. Generally, restructured loans remain on nonaccrual until the customer has attained a sustained period of repayment performance under the modified loan terms (generally a minimum of six months). However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and whether the loan should be returned or maintained on accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan remains on nonaccrual status. The Corporation had a $14$17 million recorded investment in loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, of which $2 million were in accrual status and $12$15 million were in nonaccrual pending a sustained period of repayment.

As of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were $74$72 million and $60 million, respectively, of nonaccrual restructured loans, and $117$114 million and $124 million, respectively, of performing restructured loans, included within impaired loans. All restructured loans are considered impaired in the calendar year of restructuring. In subsequent years, a restructured loan may cease being classified as impaired if the loan was modified at a market rate and has performed according to the modified terms for at least six months. A loan that has been modified at a below market rate will return to performing status if it satisfies the six month performance requirement; however, it will remain classified as a restructured loan. The following table presents nonaccrual and performing restructured loans by loan portfolio.

All loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring are evaluated for impairment. The nature and extent of the impairment of restructured loans, including those which have experienced a subsequent payment default, is considered in the determination of an appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.

NOTE 7: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis, and more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The impairment testing process is conducted by assigning net assets and goodwill to each reporting unit. An initial qualitative evaluation is made to assess the likelihood of impairment and determine whether further quantitative testing to calculate the fair value is necessary. When the qualitative evaluation indicates that impairment is more likely than not, quantitative testing is required whereby the fair value of each reporting unit is calculated and compared to the recorded book value, “step one.” If the calculated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and “step two” is not considered necessary. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its calculated fair value, the impairment test continues (“step two”) by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value is computed by adjusting all assets and liabilities of the reporting unit to current fair value with the offset adjustment to goodwill. The adjusted goodwill balance is the implied fair value of the goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill.

The Corporation conducted its annual impairment testing in May 2013,2014, utilizing a qualitative assessment. Factors that management considered in this assessment included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the Corporation and each reporting unit (both current and projected), changes in management strategy, and changes in the composition or carrying amount of net assets. In addition, management considered the significant increases in both the Corporation’s common stock price and in the overall bank common stock index (based on the Nasdaq bank index), as well as the Corporation’s improving earnings per common share trend over the past year. Based on these assessments, management concluded that the 20132014 annual qualitative impairment assessment indicated that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value (including goodwill) for each reporting unit. Therefore, a step one quantitative analysis was not required. There were no impairment charges recorded in 2013 or through March 31,June 30, 2014. It is possible that a future conclusion could be reached that all or a portion of the Corporation’s goodwill may be impaired, in which case a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded in earnings. Such a charge, if any, would have no impact on tangible capital and would not affect the Corporation’s “well-capitalized” designation.

At March 31,June 30, 2014, the Corporation had goodwill of $929 million, including goodwill of $428 million assigned to the Corporate and Commercial Banking reporting unit and goodwill of $501 million assigned to the Community and Consumer Banking reporting unit. There was no change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, and the year ended December 31, 2013.

Other Intangible Assets: The Corporation has other intangible assets that are amortized, consisting of core deposit intangibles, other intangibles (primarily related to customer relationships acquired in connection with the Corporation’s insurance agency acquisitions), and mortgage servicing rights. For core deposit intangibles and other intangibles, changes in the gross carrying amount, accumulated amortization, and net book value were as follows.

The Corporation sells residential mortgage loans in the secondary market and typically retains the right to service the loans sold. Upon sale, a mortgage servicing rights asset is capitalized, which represents the then current fair value of future net cash flows

expected to be realized for performing servicing activities. Mortgage servicing rights, when purchased, are initially recorded at fair

value. As the Corporation has not elected to subsequently measure any class of servicing assets under the fair value measurement method, the Corporation follows the amortization method. Mortgage servicing rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income, and assessed for impairment at each reporting date. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of the initial capitalized amount, net of accumulated amortization, or estimated fair value, and are included in other intangible assets, net, in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Corporation periodically evaluates its mortgage servicing rights asset for impairment. Impairment is assessed based on fair value at each reporting date using estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgage loans serviced and stratifications based on the risk characteristics of the underlying loans (predominantly loan type and note interest rate). As mortgage interest rates fall, prepayment speeds are usually faster and the value of the mortgage servicing rights asset generally decreases, requiring additional valuation reserve. Conversely, as mortgage interest rates rise, prepayment speeds are usually slower and the value of the mortgage servicing rights asset generally increases, requiring less valuation reserve. A valuation allowance is established, through a charge to earnings, to the extent the amortized cost of the mortgage servicing rights exceeds the estimated fair value by stratification. If it is later determined that all or a portion of the temporary impairment no longer exists for a stratification, the valuation is reduced through a recovery to earnings. An other-than-temporary impairment (i.e., recoverability is considered remote when considering interest rates and loan pay off activity) is recognized as a write-down of the mortgage servicing rights asset and the related valuation allowance (to the extent a valuation allowance is available) and then against earnings. A direct write-down permanently reduces the carrying value of the mortgage servicing rights asset and valuation allowance, precluding subsequent recoveries. See Note 12 for a discussion of the recourse provisions on servicedsold residential mortgage loans. See Note 13 which further discusses fair value measurement relative to the mortgage servicing rights asset.

A summary of changes in the balance of the mortgage servicing rights asset and the mortgage servicing rights valuation allowance was as follows.

Short-term funding:

The FHLB advances included in short-term funding are those with original contractual maturities of one year or less. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase represent short-term funding which is collateralized by securities of the U.S. Government or its agencies and mature daily.agencies.

Long-term funding:

FHLB advances: At March 31,June 30, 2014, the long-term FHLB advances had a weighted-average interest rate of 0.11%0.12%, compared to 0.10% at December 31, 2013. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Corporation executed $2.5 billion of five year, variable rate FHLB advances that are putable, at our option, without penalty after six months. The FHLB advances are indexed to the FHLB

29


discount note plus 6 basis points and reprice at varying intervals, including $1.0 billion repricing at four week intervals, $750 million repricing at 13 week intervals, and $750 million repricing daily. The advances offer flexible, low cost, long-term funding that improves the Corporation’s liquidity profile.

Senior notes: In March 2011, the Corporation issued $300 million of senior notes at a discount. In September 2011, the Corporation issued an additional $130 million of senior notes at a premium. The 2011 senior note issuances mature on March 28, 2016 and have a fixed coupon interest rate of 5.125%. In September 2012, the Corporation issued $155 million of senior notes at a discount. The Corporation redeemed the 2012 senior notes during February 2014.

NOTE 9: Income Taxes

The Corporation recognized income tax expense of $21$42 million for both the first quarterhalf of 2014, andcompared to income tax expense of $44 million for the first quarterhalf of 2013. The effective tax rate was 31.35%31.60% for the first quarterhalf of 2014, compared to an effective tax rate of 31.06%31.57% for the first quarterhalf of 2013.

NOTE 10: Derivative and Hedging Activities

The Corporation facilitates customer borrowing activity by providing various interest rate risk management solutions through its capital markets area. To date, all of the notional amounts of customer transactions have been matched with a mirror swap with another counterparty. The Corporation may also use derivative instruments to hedge the variability in interest payments or protect the value of certain assets and liabilities recorded on its consolidated balance sheet from changes in interest rates. The predominant derivative and hedging activities include interest rate-related instruments (swaps and caps), foreign currency exchange forwards, written options, purchased options, and certain mortgage banking activities. The contract or notional amount of a derivative is used to determine, along with the other terms of the derivative, the amounts to be exchanged between the counterparties. The Corporation is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments. To mitigate the counterparty risk, interest rate-related instruments generally contain language outlining collateral pledging requirements for each counterparty. Collateral must be posted when the market value exceeds certain threshold limits which are determined from the credit ratings of each counterparty. The Corporation was required to pledge $39$26 million of investment securities as collateral at March 31,June 30, 2014, and pledged $42 million of investment securities as collateral at December 31, 2013. Under the Dodd-Frank legislation,Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as of June 10, 2013, the Corporation must clear all LIBOR interest rate swaps through a clearing house. As such, the Corporation is required to pledge cash collateral for the margin. At March 31,June 30, 2014, the Corporation posted cash collateral for the margin of $9$12 million, compared to $6 million at December 31, 2013.

The Corporation’s derivative and hedging instruments are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Corporation’s interest rate-related instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative and also includes a nonperformance / credit risk component (credit valuation adjustment). See Note 13 for additional fair value information and disclosures.

Free standing derivatives

The Corporation enters into various derivative contracts which are designated as free standing derivative contracts. These derivative contracts are not designated against specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or forecasted transactions and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Such derivative contracts are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in the fair value recorded as a component of Capital market fees, net, and typically include interest rate-related instruments (swaps and caps).

Free standing derivatives are entered into primarily for the benefit of commercial customers through providing derivative products which enables the customer to manage their exposures to interest rate risk. The Corporation’s market risk from unfavorable movements in interest rates related to these derivative contracts is generally economically hedged by concurrently entering into offsetting derivative contracts. The offsetting derivative contracts have identical notional values, terms and indices.

31


Mortgage derivatives

Interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans are considered derivative instruments, and the fair value of these commitments is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets with the changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking, net.

Foreign currency derivatives

The Corporation provides foreign exchange services to customers. The Corporation may enter into a foreign currency forward to mitigate the exchange rate risk attached to the cash flows of a loan or as an offsetting contract to a forward entered into as a service to our customer.

Written and purchased option derivatives (time deposit)

The Corporation has periodically entered into written and purchased option derivative instruments to facilitate an equity linked time deposit product (the “Power CD”). During September 2013, the Corporation terminated its Power CD product. The Power CD was a time deposit that provided the purchaser a guaranteed return of principal at maturity plus a potential equity return (a written option), while the Corporation received a known stream of funds based on the equity return (a purchased option). The written and purchased options are mirror derivative instruments which are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.

32


NOTE 11: Balance Sheet Offsetting

Interest Rate-Related Instruments (“Interest Agreements”)

The Corporation enters into interest rate-related instruments to facilitate the interest rate risk management strategies of commercial customers. The Corporation mitigates this risk by entering into equal and offsetting interest rate-related instruments with highly rated third party financial institutions. The interest agreements are free-standing derivatives and are recorded at fair value in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet. The Corporation is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Corporation does not offset assets and liabilities under these arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. The master netting arrangements provide for a single net settlement of all interest agreements, as well as collateral, in the event of default on, or termination of, any one contract. Collateral, usually in the form of investment securities and cash, is posted by the counterparty with net liability positions in accordance with contract thresholds. See Note 10 for additional information on the Corporation’s derivative and hedging activities.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (“Repurchase Agreements”)

The Corporation enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Corporation may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Corporation to repurchase the assets. As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheet, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities asset accounts (i.e., there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities). The right of setoff for a repurchase agreement resembles a secured borrowing, whereby the collateral would be used to settle the fair value of the repurchase agreement should the Corporation be in default (e.g., fails to make an interest payment to the counterparty). In addition, the Corporation does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements; therefore, there is no such offsetting to be done with the repurchase agreements.

33


The following table presents the assets and liabilities subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The swap agreements we have with our commercial customers are not subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, and therefore, are excluded from this table.

NOTE 12: Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Contingent Liabilities

The Corporation utilizes a variety of financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include lending-related and other commitments (see below) and derivative instruments (see Note 10). During the second quarter of 2014, the Corporation reclassified certain letters of credit from commercial letters of credit to standby letters of credit. The letters of credit balances for December 31, 2013, have also been adjusted to reflect this change in classification. The following is a summary of lending-related commitments.

Lending-related Commitments

As a financial services provider, the Corporation routinely enters into commitments to extend credit. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans made by the Corporation, with each customer’s creditworthiness evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee. The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to these financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Since a significant portion of commitments to extend credit are subject to specific restrictive loan covenants or may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements. An allowance for unfunded

commitments is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable losses related to unfunded commitments (including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit). For both March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Corporation had an allowance for unfunded commitments totaling $20 million and $22 million, respectively, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 for additional information on the allowance for unfunded commitments.

Lending-related commitments include commitments to extend credit, commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to customers at predetermined interest rates, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contracts. Interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans are considered derivative instruments, and the fair value of these commitments is recorded on the consolidated balance sheets. The Corporation’s derivative and hedging activity is further described in Note 10. Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and the third party, while standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party.

Other Commitments

The Corporation has principal investment commitments to provide capital-based financing to private and public companies through either direct investments in specific companies or through investment funds and partnerships. The timing of future cash requirements to fund such commitments is generally dependent on the investment cycle, whereby privately held companies are funded by private equity investors and ultimately sold, merged, or taken public through an initial offering, which can vary based on overall market conditions, as well as the nature and type of industry in which the companies operate. The Corporation also invests in low-income housing, small-business commercial real estate, new market tax credit projects, and historic tax credit projects to promote the revitalization of low-to-moderate-income neighborhoods throughout the local communities of its bank subsidiary. As a limited partner in these unconsolidated projects, the Corporation is allocated tax credits and deductions associated with the underlying projects. The aggregate carrying value of these investments at March 31,June 30, 2014 was $32$31 million, included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, compared to $33 million at December 31, 2013. Related to these investments, the Corporation had remaining commitments to fund of $14 million at March 31, 2014 and $16 million at both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.2013.

Contingent Liabilities

The Corporation is party to various pending and threatened claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business activities, some of which involve claims for substantial amounts. Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcomes, the Corporation believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding matters, including the matters described below, and with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously. The Corporation will consider settlement of cases when, in management’s judgment, it is in the best interests of both the Corporation and its shareholders.

On at least a quarterly basis, the Corporation assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with all pending or threatened claims and litigation, utilizing the most recent information available. On a matter by matter basis, an accrual for loss is established for those matters which the Corporation believes it is probable that a loss may be incurred and that the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, each accrual is adjusted as appropriate to reflect any subsequent developments. Accordingly, management’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more or less than the current estimate. For matters where a loss is not probable, or the amount of the loss cannot be estimated, no accrual is established.

Resolution of legal claims is inherently unpredictable, and in many legal proceedings various factors exacerbate this inherent unpredictability, including where the damages sought are unsubstantiated or indeterminate, it is unclear whether a case brought as a class action will be allowed to proceed on that basis, discovery is not complete, the proceeding is not yet in its final stages, the matters present legal uncertainties, there are significant facts in dispute, there are a large number of parties (including where it is uncertain how liability, if any, will be shared among multiple defendants), or there is a wide range of potential results.

A lawsuit,R.J. ZAYED v. Associated Bank, N.A.,was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on January 29, 2013. The lawsuit relates to a Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Oxford Global Partners and related entities (“Oxford”) and individuals and was brought by the receiver for Oxford. Oxford was a depository customer of the Bank.Associated Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The lawsuit claims that the Bank is liable for failing to uncover the Oxford Ponzi scheme, and specifically alleges the Bank aided and abetted (1) the fraudulent scheme; (2) a breach of fiduciary duty; (3) conversion; and (4) false representations and omissions. The lawsuit seeks unspecified

consequential and punitive damages. The District Court granted the Bank’s motion to dismiss the complaint on September 30, 2013, and the plaintiff has appealed such dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. It is not possible for management to assess the probability of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss at this time. A lawsuit by investors in the same Ponzi scheme,Herman Grad, et al v. Associated Bank, N.A.,brought in Brown County, Wisconsin in October 2009 was dismissed by the circuit court, and the dismissal was affirmed by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals in June 2011 in an unpublished opinion.

A purported class action lawsuit,Wanda Boone v. Associated Banc-Corp,was filed on April 10, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The lawsuit claims that loan coordinators employed by the Bank were not compensated for all hours worked, including the payment of overtime, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and Wisconsin wage laws. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. The Corporation intendsfiled a motion to vigorously defenddismiss on June 5, 2014. On July 29, 2014, the lawsuit.

The Corporation sells residential mortgage loans to investors in the normal course of business. Residential mortgage loans sold to others are predominantly conventional residential first lien mortgages originated under our usual underwriting procedures, and are most often sold on a nonrecourse basis, primarily to the government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”). The Corporation’s agreements to sell residential mortgage loans in the normal course of business usually require certain representations and warranties on the underlying loans sold, related to credit information, loan documentation, collateral, and insurability. Subsequent to being sold, if a material underwriting deficiency or documentation defect is discovered, the Corporation may be obligated to repurchase the loan or reimburse the GSEs for losses incurred (collectively, “make whole requests”). The make whole requests and any related risk of loss under the representations and warranties are largely driven by borrower performance.

As a result of make whole requests, the Corporation has repurchased loans with principal balances of $1$2 million and $3 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, and paid loss reimbursement claims of $274 thousand$424,000 and $3 million during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. The Corporation had a mortgage repurchase reserve for potential claims on loans previously sold of $5$3 million at March 31,June 30, 2014, compared to $6 million at December 31, 2013. Make whole requests during 2013 and the first threesix months of 2014 generally arose from loans sold during the period January 1, 2006 to March 31,June 30, 2014, which totaled $17.9$18.1 billion at the time of sale, and consisted primarily of loans sold to GSEs. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, approximately $7.6 billion of these sold loans remain outstanding.

The balance in the mortgage repurchase reserve at the balance sheet date reflects the estimated amount of potential loss the corporation could incur from repurchasing a loan, as well as loss reimbursements, indemnifications, and other settlement resolutions. The following summarizes the changes in the mortgage repurchase reserve.

The Corporation may also sell residential mortgage loans with limited recourse (limited in that the recourse period ends prior to the loan’s maturity, usually after certain time and / or loan paydown criteria have been met), whereby repurchase could be required if the loan had defined delinquency issues during the limited recourse periods. At March 31,June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, there were approximately $43$38 million and $56 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans sold with such recourse risk. There have been limited instances and immaterial historical losses on repurchases for recourse under the limited recourse criteria.

The Corporation has a subordinate position to the FHLB in the credit risk on residential mortgage loans it sold to the FHLB in exchange for a monthly credit enhancement fee. The Corporation has not sold loans to the FHLB with such credit risk retention since February 2005. At March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were $219$206 million and $233 million, respectively, of such residential mortgage loans with credit risk recourse, upon which there have been negligible historical losses to the Corporation.

Regulatory Matters

In July 2013,The Bank entered into a Stipulation and Consent Order for a Civil Money Penalty with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) notifieddated June 26, 2014, which provides for the payment by the Bank that it was considering imposingof a civil money penalty relatedof $500,000. The civil money penalty, which was paid in June 2014, relates to the Bank’s past Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”)BSA/AML deficiencies which were the subject of a Consent Order.Order dated February 23, 2012. The

36


Consent Order was subsequently terminated in March, 2014. The Bank has responded to such notice, and after considering the Bank’s response, the OCC may impose a civil money penalty related to such deficiencies. The Corporation has also been informed by the OCC that the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is also considering imposing a civil money penalty related to the same past BSA deficiencies. It is not possible for management to estimate a reasonable range of exposure relating to these potential civil money penalties at this time.

NOTE 13: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value represents the estimated price at which an orderly transaction to sell an asset or to transfer a liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price concept). As there is no active market for many of the Corporation’s financial instruments, estimates are made using discounted cash flow or other valuation techniques. Inputs into the valuation methods are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties, and require significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Accordingly, the derived fair value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could realize in a current market exchange. Assets and liabilities are categorized into three levels based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy in which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Corporation’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Below is a brief description of each fair value level.

 

Level 1 inputs  Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Corporation has the ability to access.
Level 2 inputs  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Corporation’s more significant instruments measured on a recurring basis at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Investment securities available for sale: Where quoted prices are available in an active market, investment securities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 investment securities primarily include U.S. Treasury, certain Federal agency, and exchange-traded debt and equity securities. If quoted market prices are not available for the specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows, with consideration given to the nature of the quote and the relationship of recently evidenced market activity to the fair value estimate, and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Examples of these investment securities include certain Federal agency securities, obligations of state and political subdivisions (municipal securities), mortgage-related securities, asset-backed securities, and other debt securities. Lastly, in certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the estimated fair value, securities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 securities primarily include pooled trust preferred debt securities. To validate the fair value estimates, assumptions, and controls, the Corporation looks to transactions for similar instruments and utilizes independent pricing provided by third party vendors or brokers and relevant market indices. While none of these sources are solely indicative of fair value, they serve as directional indicators for the appropriateness of the Corporation’s fair value estimates. The Corporation has determined that the fair value measures of its investment securities are classified predominantly within Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 5 for additional disclosure regarding the Corporation’s investment securities.

Derivative financial instruments (interest rate-related instruments): The Corporation uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. In addition, the Corporation offers customer interest rate-related instruments (swaps and caps) to service our customers’ needs, for which the Corporation simultaneously enters into offsetting derivative financial instruments (i.e., mirror interest rate-related instruments) with third parties to manage its interest rate risk associated with these financial instruments. The valuation of the Corporation’s derivative financial instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative and, also includes a nonperformance / credit risk component (credit valuation adjustment). See Note 10 for additional disclosure regarding the Corporation’s derivative financial instruments.

37


The discounted cash flow analysis component in the fair value measurements reflects the contractual terms of the derivative financial instruments, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. More specifically, the fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments), with the variable cash payments (or receipts) based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. Likewise, the fair values of interest rate options (i.e., interest rate caps) are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates fall below (or rise above) the strike rate of the floors (or caps), with the variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the floor (or cap) based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.

The Corporation also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative financial instruments for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Corporation has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, the Corporation made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

While the Corporation has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative financial instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. The Corporation has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions as of March 31,June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative financial instruments. Therefore, the Corporation has determined that the fair value measures of its derivative financial instruments in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative financial instruments (foreign currency exchange forwards): The Corporation provides foreign currency exchange services to customers. In addition, the Corporation may enter into a foreign currency exchange forward to mitigate the exchange rate risk attached to the cash flows of a loan or as an offsetting contract to a forward entered into as a service to our customer. The valuation of the Corporation’s foreign currency exchange forwards is determined using quoted prices of foreign currency exchange forwards with similar characteristics, with consideration given to the nature of the quote and the relationship of recently evidenced market activity to the fair value estimate, and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 10 for additional disclosures regarding the corporation’s foreign currency exchange forwards.

Derivative financial instruments (mortgage derivatives): Mortgage derivatives include interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale to individual customers and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to various investors. The Corporation relies on an internal valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, which includes grouping the interest rate lock commitments by interest rate and terms, applying an estimated pull-through rate based on historical experience, and then multiplying by quoted investor prices determined to be reasonably applicable to the loan commitment groups based on interest rate, terms, and rate lock expiration dates of the loan commitment groups.

The Corporation also relies on an internal valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans (i.e., an estimate of what the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the forward delivery contract based on market prices for similar financial instruments), which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing available. While there are Level 2 and 3 inputs used in the valuation models, the Corporation has determined that the majority of the inputs significant in the valuation of both of the mortgage derivatives fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 10 for additional disclosure regarding the Corporation’s mortgage derivatives.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Corporation’s more significant instruments measured on a nonrecurring basis at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Loans Held for Sale: Loans held for sale, which consist generally of current production of certain fixed-rate, first-lien residential mortgage loans, are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of the residential mortgage loans held for sale was based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics, which the Corporation classifies as a Level 2 nonrecurring fair value measurement.

38


Impaired Loans: The Corporation considers a loan impaired when it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the original contractual terms of the note agreement, including both principal and interest. Management has determined that commercial and consumer loan relationships that have nonaccrual status or have had their terms restructured in a troubled debt restructuring meet this impaired loan definition. For individually evaluated impaired loans, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, or the estimated liquidity of the note. See Note 6 for additional information regarding the Corporation’s impaired loans.

Mortgage servicing rights: Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of mortgage servicing rights do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available to allow for a “quoted price for similar assets” comparison. Accordingly, the Corporation utilizes an independent valuation from a third party which uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights. The valuation model incorporates prepayment assumptions to project mortgage servicing rights cash flows based on the current interest rate scenario, which is then discounted to estimate an expected fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. The valuation model considers portfolio characteristics of the underlying mortgages, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, discount rate assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges, other ancillary revenue, costs to service, and other economic factors. The Corporation periodically reviews and assesses the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model. In addition, the Corporation compares its fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data for mortgage servicing rights, where available, and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Corporation uses the amortization method (i.e., lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value measured on a nonrecurring basis), not fair value measurement accounting, for its mortgage servicing rights assets. See Note 7 for additional disclosure regarding the Corporation’s mortgage servicing rights.

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis as of March 31,June 30, 2014, the Corporation utilized the following valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs.

Investment securities available for sale other securities (debt and equity): In valuing the investment securities available for sale classified within Level 3, the Corporation utilized a discounted cash flow model and incorporated its own assumptions about future cash flows and discount rates adjusting for credit and liquidity factors. The Corporation also reviewed the underlying collateral and other relevant data in developing the assumptions for these investment securities.

40


Derivative financial instruments (mortgage derivative interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale): The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s mortgage derivative interest rate lock commitments (“IRLC”) is the closing ratio, which represents the percentage of loans currently in a lock position which management estimates will ultimately close. Typically the higher the closing ratio on the IRLC’s will result in an increase in the fair

value if in a gain position or a decrease in fair value if in a loss position. The closing ratio calculation takes into consideration historical data and loan-level data, (particularly the change in the current interest rates from the time of initial rate lock). The closing ratio is periodically reviewed for reasonableness and reported to the Mortgage Risk Management Committee. At March 31,June 30, 2014, the closing ratio was 90%86%.

Impaired loans: For individually evaluated impaired loans, the amount of impairment is based upon the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans, or the estimated liquidity of the note, resulting in average discounts of 20% to 25%30%.

Mortgage servicing rights: The discounted cash flow analyses that generate expected market prices utilize the observable characteristics of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio, as well as certain unobservable valuation parameters. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s mortgage servicing rights are the weighted average constant prepayment rate and weighted average discount rate, which were 12.9%14.5% and 10.1% at March 31,June 30, 2014, respectively. Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Although the prepayment rate and discount rate are not directly interrelated, they will generally move in opposite directions.

These parameter assumptions fall within a range that the Corporation, in consultation with an independent third party, believes purchasers of servicing would apply to such portfolios sold into the current secondary servicing market. Discussions are held with members from Treasury and Consumer Banking to reconcile the fair value estimates and the key assumptions used by the respective parties in arriving at those estimates. The Associated Mortgage Group Risk Committee is responsible for providing control over the valuation methodology and key assumptions. To assess the reasonableness of the fair value measurement, the Corporation also compares the fair value and constant prepayment rate to a value calculated by an independent third party on an annual basis.

The table below presents the Corporation’s loans held for sale, impaired loans, and mortgage servicing rights measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

(1)Represents individually evaluated impaired loans, net of the related allowance for loan losses.

Certain nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include other real estate owned (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

41


During the first three monthshalf of 2014 and the full year 2013, certain other real estate owned, upon initial recognition, was re-measured and reported at fair value through a charge off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the estimated fair value of the other real estate owned, less estimated selling costs. The fair value of other real estate owned, upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment, was estimated using appraised values, which the Corporation classifies as a Level 2 nonrecurring fair value measurement. Other real estate owned measured at fair value upon initial recognition totaled approximately $6$13 million for the first three monthshalf of 2014 and $29 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. In addition to other real estate owned measured at fair value upon initial recognition, the Corporation also recorded write-downs to the balance of other real estate owned for subsequent impairment of $1 million and $4 million to asset losses, net for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

Cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell, and accrued interest receivable —receivable—For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment securities (held to maturity and available for sale)—The fair value of investment securities is based on quoted prices in active markets, or if quoted prices are not available for a specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.

FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stocks The carrying amount is a reasonable fair value estimate for the Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stocks given their “restricted” nature (i.e., the stock can only be sold back to the respective institutions (Federal Home Loan Bank or Federal Reserve Bank) or another member institution at par).

Loans held for sale The fair value estimation process for the loans held for sale portfolio is segregated by loan type. The estimated fair value of the residential mortgage loans held for sale was based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics.

43


Loans, net —net—The fair value estimation process for the loan portfolio uses an exit price concept and reflects discounts the Corporation believes are consistent with liquidity discounts in the market place. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial and industrial, real estate construction, commercial real estate (owner occupied and investor), lease financing, residential mortgage, home equity, other installment, and other installment.credit cards. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for similar maturities. The fair value analysis also included other assumptions to estimate fair value, intended to approximate those a market participant would use in an orderly transaction, with adjustments for discount rates, interest rates, liquidity, and credit spreads, as appropriate.

Bank owned life insurance The fair value of bank owned life insurance approximates the carrying amount, because upon liquidation of these investments, the Corporation would receive the cash surrender value which equals the carrying amount.

Deposits —Deposits—The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, interest-bearing demand deposits, and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of Brokered CDs and other time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. However, if the estimated fair value of Brokered CDs and other time deposits is less than the carrying value, the carrying value is reported as the fair value.

Accrued interest payable and short-term funding —funding—For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Long-term funding —funding—Rates currently available to the Corporation for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing long-term funding.

Interest rate-related instruments —instruments—The fair value of interest rate-related instruments is determined using discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. The Corporation also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

Foreign currency exchange forwards The fair value of the Corporation’s foreign currency exchange forwards is determined using quoted prices of foreign currency exchange forwards with similar characteristics, with consideration given to the nature of the quote and the relationship of recently evidenced market activity to the fair value estimate.

Standby letters of credit —credit—The fair value of standby letters of credit represent deferred fees arising from the related off-balance sheet financial instruments. These deferred fees approximate the fair value of these instruments and are based on several factors, including the remaining terms of the agreement and the credit standing of the customer.

Interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale —sale—The Corporation relies on an internal valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, which includes grouping the interest rate lock commitments by interest rate and terms, applying an estimated pull-through rate based on historical experience, and then multiplying by quoted investor prices determined to be reasonably applicable to the loan commitment groups based on interest rate, terms, and rate lock expiration dates of the loan commitment groups.

Forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans —loans—The Corporation relies on an internal valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans (i.e., an estimate of what the Corporation would receive or pay to terminate the forward delivery contract based on market prices for similar financial instruments), which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing available.

Purchased and written options —options—The fair value of the Corporation’s purchased and written options is determined using quoted prices of the underlying stocks.

Limitations —Limitations—Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Corporation’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current

44


economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

NOTE 14: Retirement Plans

The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan (the Retirement Account Plan (“RAP”)) covering substantially all full-time employees. The benefits are based primarily on years of service and the employee’s compensation paid. Employees of acquired entities generally participate in the RAP after consummation of the business combinations. Any retirement plans of acquired entities are typically merged into the RAP after completion of the mergers, and credit is usually given to employees for years of service at the acquired institution for vesting and eligibility purposes. In connection with the First Federal acquisition in October 2004, the Corporation assumed the First Federal pension plan (the “First Federal Plan”). The First Federal Plan was frozen on December 31, 2004 and qualified participants in the First Federal Plan became eligible to participate in the RAP as of January 1, 2005. Additional discussion and information on the RAP and the First Federal Plan are collectively referred to below as the “Pension Plan”.

The Corporation also provides healthcare access for eligible retired employees in its Postretirement Plan (the “Postretirement Plan”). Retirees who are at least 55 years of age with 5 years of service are eligible to participate in the Postretirement Plan. The Corporation has no plan assets attributable to the Postretirement Plan. The Corporation reserves the right to terminate or make changes to the Postretirement Plan at any time.

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the Pension and Postretirement Plans for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013, and for the full year 2013 were as follows.

NOTE 15: Segment Reporting

The Corporation utilizes a risk-based internal profitability measurement system to provide strategic business unit reporting. The profitability measurement system is based on internal management methodologies designed to produce consistent results and reflect the underlying economics of the units. Certain strategic business units have been combined for segment information reporting purposes where the nature of the products and services, the type of customer and the distribution of those products and services are similar. The three reportable segments are Corporate and Commercial Banking, Community and Consumer Banking, and Risk Management and Shared Services, with no segment representing more than half of the assets, liabilities or Tier 1 common equity of the Corporation as a whole.

45


The financial information of the Corporation’s segments has been compiled utilizing the accounting policies described in the Corporation’s 2013 annual report on Form 10-K with certain exceptions. The more significant of these exceptions are described herein. The Corporation allocates interest income or interest expense using a funds transfer pricing methodology that charges users of funds (assets) interest expense and credits providers of funds (liabilities, primarily deposits) with income based on the maturity, prepayment and / or repricing characteristics of the assets and liabilities. The net effect of this allocation is recorded in the Risk Management and Shared Services segment. A credit provision is allocated to segments based on the expected long-term annual net charge off rates attributable to the credit risk of loans managed by the segment during the period. In contrast, the level of the consolidated provision for credit losses is determined using the methodologies described in the Corporation’s 2013 annual report on Form 10-K to assess the overall appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses. The net effect of the credit provision is recorded in Risk Management and Shared Services. Indirect expenses incurred by certain centralized support areas are allocated to segments based on actual usage (for example, volume measurements) and other criteria. Certain types of administrative expense and bank-wide expense accruals (including amortization of core deposit and other intangible assets associated with acquisitions) are generally not allocated to segments. Income taxes are allocated to segments based on the Corporation’s estimated effective tax rate, with certain segments adjusted for any tax-exempt income or non-deductible expenses. Equity is allocated to the segments based on regulatory capital requirements and in proportion to an assessment of the inherent risks associated with the business of the segment (including interest, credit and operating risk).

The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, reported segments and the financial information of the reported segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in changes in previously reported segment financial data. During 2013,2014, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, 2013 results have been restated and presented on a comparable basis.

A description of each business segment is presented below.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist in the understanding and evaluation of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for credit losses, goodwill impairment assessment, mortgage servicing rights valuation, and income taxes.

The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and follow general practices within the industries in which it operates. This preparation requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates, assumptions, and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, actual results could differ from the estimates, assumptions, and judgments reflected in the financial statements. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Management believes the following policies are both important to the portrayal of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations and require subjective or complex judgments and, therefore, management considers the following to be critical accounting policies. The critical accounting policies are discussed directly with the Audit Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

Allowance for Credit Losses: Management’s evaluation process used to determine the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses (which includes the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded commitments) is subject to the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments. The evaluation process combines many factors: management’s ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio, consideration of historical loan loss and delinquency experience, trends in past due and nonaccrual loans, risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect probable credit losses. Because current economic conditions can change and future events are inherently difficult to predict, the anticipated amount of estimated loan losses, and therefore the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses, could change significantly. As an integral part of their examination process, various regulatory agencies also review the allowance for credit losses. Such agencies may require additions to the allowances for credit losses or may require that certain loan balances be charged off or downgraded into criticized loan categories

49


when their credit evaluations differ from those of management, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. The Corporation believes the level of the allowance for credit losses is appropriate as recorded in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 6, “Loans, Allowance for Credit Losses, and Credit Quality,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements and section “Allowance for Credit Losses.”

Goodwill Impairment Assessment: Goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is subject to impairment tests on at least an annual basis, and more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The impairment testing process is conducted by assigning net assets and goodwill to each reporting unit. An initial qualitative evaluation is made to assess the likelihood of impairment and determine whether further quantitative testing to calculate the fair value is necessary. When the qualitative evaluation indicates that impairment is more likely than not, quantitative testing is required whereby the fair value of each reporting unit is calculated and compared to the recorded book value, “step one”. If the calculated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and “step two” is not considered necessary. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its calculated fair value, the impairment test continues (“step two”) by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value is computed by adjusting all assets and liabilities of the reporting unit to current fair value with the offset adjustment to goodwill. The adjusted goodwill balance is the implied fair value of the goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized if the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill.

The Corporation conducted its annual impairment testing in May 2013,2014, utilizing the qualitative assessment. Factors that management considered in this assessment included macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance of the Corporation and each reporting unit (both current and projected), changes in management strategy, and changes in the composition or carrying amount of net assets. In addition, management considered the significant increases in both the Corporation’s common stock price and in the overall bank common stock index (based on the NASDAQ bank index), as well as the Corporation’s improving earnings per common share trend over the past year. Based on these assessments, management concluded that the 20132014 annual qualitative impairment assessment indicated that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value (including goodwill) for each reporting unit. Therefore, a step one quantitative analysis was not required. There were no impairment charges recorded in 2013 or through March 31,June 30, 2014. See also Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Mortgage Servicing Rights Valuation: The fair value of the Corporation’s mortgage servicing rights asset is important to the presentation of the consolidated financial statements since the mortgage servicing rights are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active open market with readily observable prices. As such, like other participants in the mortgage banking business, the Corporation relies on an independent valuation from a third party which uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights. The use of a discounted cash flow model involves judgment, particularly of estimated prepayment speeds of underlying mortgages serviced and the overall level of interest rates. Loan type and note interest rate are the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans used to stratify capitalized mortgage servicing rights for purposes of measuring impairment. The Corporation periodically reviews the assumptions underlying the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. While the Corporation believes that the values produced by the discounted cash flow model are indicative of the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights portfolio, these values can change significantly depending upon key factors, such as the then current interest rate environment, estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgages serviced, and other economic conditions. The proceeds that might be received should the Corporation actually consider a sale of some or all of the mortgage servicing rights portfolio could differ from the amounts reported at any point in time.

Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value and are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. Impairment is assessed based on the fair value at each reporting date using estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgage loans serviced and stratifications based on the risk characteristics of the underlying loans (predominantly loan type and note interest rate). As mortgage interest rates fall, prepayment speeds are usually faster and the value of the mortgage servicing rights asset generally decreases, requiring additional valuation reserve. Conversely, as mortgage interest rates rise, prepayment speeds are usually slower and the value of the mortgage servicing rights asset generally increases, requiring less valuation reserve. However, the extent to which interest rates impact the value of the mortgage servicing rights asset depends, in part, on the magnitude of the changes in market interest rates and the differential between the then current market interest rates for mortgage loans and the mortgage interest rates included in the mortgage servicing portfolio. Management recognizes that the volatility in the valuation of the mortgage servicing rights asset will continue. To better understand the sensitivity of the impact of prepayment speeds and refinance rates on the value of the mortgage servicing rights asset at March 31,June 30, 2014 (holding all other factors unchanged), if refinance interest rates were to decrease 50 bp, the estimated value of the mortgage servicing rights asset would have been

approximately $11$9 million (or 15%14%) lower. Conversely, if refinance interest rates were to increase 50 bp, the estimated value of the

50


mortgage servicing rights asset would have been approximately $5$8 million (or 8%12%) higher. However, the Corporation’s potential recovery recognition due to valuation improvement is limited to the balance of the mortgage servicing rights valuation reserve, which was $1 million at March 31,June 30, 2014. The Corporation believes the mortgage servicing rights asset is properly recorded in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 7, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements and section “Noninterest Income.”

Income Taxes: The assessment of tax assets and liabilities involves the use of estimates, assumptions, interpretations, and judgment concerning certain accounting pronouncements and federal and state tax codes. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions or positions of federal and state taxing authorities, will not differ from management’s current assessment, the impact of which could be significant to the consolidated results of operations and reported earnings. Quarterly assessments are performed to determine if valuation allowances are necessary. Assessing the need for, or sufficiency of, a valuation allowance requires management to evaluate all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the recent trend of quarterly earnings. Positive evidence necessary to overcome the negative evidence includes whether future taxable income in sufficient amounts and character within the carryback and carryforward periods is available under the tax law, including the use of tax planning strategies. When negative evidence (e.g., cumulative losses in recent years, history of operating loss or tax credit carryforwards expiring unused) exists, more positive evidence than negative evidence will be necessary. The Corporation has concluded that based on the level of positive evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. However, there is no guarantee that the tax benefits associated with the deferred tax assets will be fully realized. The Corporation believes the tax assets and liabilities are properly recorded in the consolidated financial statements. See also Note 9, “Income Taxes,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements and section “Income Taxes.”

Segment Review

As discussed in Note 15, “Segment Reporting,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements, the Corporation’s reportable segments have been determined based upon its internal profitability measurement system, which is organized by strategic business unit. Certain strategic business units have been combined for segment information reporting purposes where the nature of the products and services, the type of customer, and the distribution of those products and services are similar. The reportable segments are Corporate and Commercial Banking, Community and Consumer Banking and Risk Management and Shared Services.

The financial information of the Corporation’s segments was compiled utilizing the accounting policies described in Note 15, “Segment Reporting,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements. The management accounting policies and processes utilized in compiling segment financial information are highly subjective and, unlike financial accounting, are not based on authoritative guidance similar to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, reported segments and the financial information of the reported segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Furthermore, changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in changes in previously reported segment financial data. During 2013,2014, certain organization and methodology changes were made and, accordingly, 2013 results have been restated and presented on a comparable basis.

Comparable QuarterYear to Date Segment Review

The Corporate and Commercial Banking segment consists of lending and deposit solutions to businesses, developers, non-profits, municipalities, and financial institutions, and the support to deliver, fund, and manage such banking solutions. The Corporate and Commercial Banking segment had net income of $24$48 million for the first quarterhalf of 2014, down $3$7 million compared to $27$55 million for the comparable quarterperiod in 2013. Segment revenue decreased $2$7 million to $98$197 million duringfor the first quarterhalf of 2014 compared to $100$204 million for the first quarterhalf of 2013 primarily due to lower spreads on loan and deposit products. The credit provision increaseddecreased $1 million to $13$26 million during the first quarterhalf of 2014 due to the growthimprovement in the segment’s loan balances.credit quality. Average loan balances were $8.8$9.0 billion for the first quarterhalf of 2014, up $697$684 million from an average balance of $8.1 billion for the first quarterhalf of 2013, while average deposit balances were $5.2$5.1 billion for the first quarterhalf of 2014, down $134$143 million from average deposits of $5.4 billion in the first quarterhalf of 2013. Average allocated capital increased $33$31 million to $787$797 million for the first quarterhalf of 2014 reflecting the increase in the segment’s loan balances.

The Community and Consumer Banking segment consists of lending and deposit solutions to individuals and small businesses and also provides a variety of investment and fiduciary products and services. The Community and Consumer Banking segment had net income of $7$15 million for the first half of 2014, down $16 million compared to $31 million in the first half of 2013. Earnings decreased as segment revenue declined $36 million to $233 million for the first half of 2014, primarily due to lower mortgage banking income as refinancing activity has drastically slowed and lower net interest income due to lower deposit spreads. The credit provision

was level at $10 million for the first half of 2014 and 2013. Total noninterest expense decreased $11 million to $199 million for the first half of 2014, primarily due to a reduction in full time equivalent employees. Average loan balances were level at $7.3 billion for both the first half of 2014 and 2013. Average deposits were level at $9.6 billion for both the first half of 2014 and 2013. Average allocated capital decreased $52 million to $492 million for the first half of 2014.

The Risk Management and Shared Services segment had net income of $29 million in the first half of 2014, up $20 million compared to $9 million for the comparable period in 2013. The increase was due to a $37 million increase in total revenue primarily due to changes in the long-term funding rates utilized in the funds transfer pricing methodology for allocating interest credits to the Commercial and Consumer segments. Average earning asset balances were $5.9 billion for the first half of 2014, up $665 million from an average balance of $5.2 billion for the comparable period in 2013.

Comparable Quarter Segment Review

The Corporate and Commercial Banking segment had net income of $23 million for the second quarter of 2014, down $10$5 million compared to $17$28 million for the firstcomparable quarter in 2013. Segment revenue decreased $3 million to $100 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to $103 million for the second quarter of 2013 primarily due to lower spreads on loan and deposit products. The credit provision decreased $2 million to $13 million for the second quarter of 2014 due to improvement in the loan credit quality. Average loan balances were $9.2 billion for the second quarter of 2014, up $671 million compared to the second quarter of 2013, while average deposit balances were $5.1 billion for the second quarter of 2014, down $151 million from the second quarter of 2013. Average allocated capital increased $29 million to $806 million for the second quarter of 2014 reflecting the increase in the segment’s loan balances.

The Community and Consumer Banking segment had net income of $8 million for the second quarter of 2014, down $6 million compared to $14 million for the second quarter of 2013. Segment revenue decreased $18 million to $115$117 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2014, primarily due to lower mortgage banking income as refinancing activity has drastically slowed and lower net interest income due to lower deposit spreads. The credit provision increaseddecreased $1 million to $5 million duringfor the first

51


second quarter of 2014. Total noninterest expense was down $3$8 million to $100 million for the second quarter, primarily due to a reduction in full time equivalent employees. Average loan balances decreased $68increased $168 million to $7.2$7.4 billion for firstsecond quarter of 2014 compared to $7.3$7.2 billion for the firstsecond quarter of 2013. Average deposits were $9.5$9.7 billion for the firstsecond quarter of 2014, down $58up $60 million from $9.6 billion in the firstsecond quarter of 2013. Average allocated capital decreased $55$50 million to $488$495 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2014.

The Risk Management and Shared Services segment had net income of $14$15 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2014, up $11$9 million compared to $3$6 million for the comparable quarter in 2013. The primary component of the increase was a $19an $18 million increase in total revenue primarily due to changes in the long-term funding rates utilized in the funds transfer pricing methodology for allocating net interest income credits to the Commercial and Consumer segments. Average earning asset balances were $5.8$6.0 billion for the firstsecond quarter of 2014, up $585$743 million from an average balance of $5.2 billion for the comparable quarter in 2013.

(a)Efficiency ratio is defined by the Federal Reserve guidance as noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net.
(b)Efficiency ratio, fully taxable equivalent, is noninterest expense, excluding other intangible amortization, divided by the sum of taxable equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, excluding investment securities gains / losses, net and asset gains / losses, net. This efficiency ratio is presented on a taxable equivalent basis, which adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and investment securities. Management believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources and it excludes certain specific revenue items (such as investment securities gains / losses, net and asset gains / losses, net).

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis for the quartersix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, was $170$343 million, an increase of $7$15 million (4%(5%) versus the comparable quarter last year.first six months of 2013. The increase in taxable equivalent net interest income was attributable to favorable volume variance (as balance sheet changes in both volume and mix increased taxable equivalent net interest income by $6$14 million), and favorable rate variances (as the impact of changes in the interest rate environment and product pricing increased taxable equivalent net interest income by $1 million).

The net interest margin for the first quarterhalf of 2014 was 3.12%3.10%, 57 bp lower than 3.17% for the same quarterperiod in 2013. This comparable period decrease was comprised of a 35 bp lower contribution from net free funds and a 2 bp decrease in interest rate spread (the net of a 1615 bp decrease in yield on earning assets and a 1413 bp decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities).

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses (which includes the provision for loan losses and the provision for unfunded commitments) for the first threesix months of 2014 was $5$10 million, compared to $3$9 million for the first threesix months of 2013 and $10 million for the full year of 2013. Net charge offs were $5$8 million for the first threesix months of 2014, compared to $14$28 million for the first threesix months of 2013 and $39 million for the full year of 2013. Annualized net charge offs as a percent of average loans for the first threesix months of 2014 were 0.14%0.10%, compared to 0.38%0.36% for the first threesix months of 2013 and 0.25% for the full year of 2013. At March 31,June 30, 2014, the allowance for credit losses (which includes the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded commitments) was $292 million, compared to $300 million at June 30, 2013 and $290 million down from $308 million at March 31, 2013 and relatively unchanged compared to December 31, 2013. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at March 31,June 30, 2014, was 1.63%1.59%, compared to 1.84%1.76% at March 31,June 30, 2013 and 1.69% at December 31, 2013. Nonaccrual loans at March 31,June 30, 2014 were $178$179 million, compared to $225$217 million at March 31,June 30, 2013, and $185 million at December 31, 2013. See Tables 7 and 8.

The provision for credit losses is predominantly a function of the Corporation’s reserving methodology and judgments as to other qualitative and quantitative factors used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses (which includes the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded commitments). This reserving methodology focuses on changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, changes in levels of impaired and other nonaccrual loans, historical losses and delinquencies on each portfolio category, the level of loans sold or transferred to held for sale, the risk inherent in specific loans, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other factors which could affect potential credit losses. See additional discussion under sections “Allowance for Credit Losses,” and “Nonaccrual Loans, Potential Problem Loans, and Other Real Estate Owned.”

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarterhalf of 2014 was $74$146 million, down $8$21 million (10%(12%) from the first quarterhalf of 2013, primarily due to declines in net mortgage banking income as refinancing activity has drastically slowed. For the second half of 2014, the Corporation expects noninterest income to be down slightlyin line with declines in net mortgage banking offset by growth in other fee categories.the first half of 2014.

Core fee-based revenue was $57$117 million, an increase of $2$7 million (4%(7%) versus the first quarterhalf of 2013. Trust service fees were $12$24 million for the first quarterhalf of 2014, up $1 million (7%(6%) from the first quarter inhalf of 2013. The market value of assets under management at March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $7.5$7.7 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively. Insurance commissions were $26 million, up $5 million (21%) from the first half of 2013, primarily due to a $3 million reserve established in 2013 related to third party insurance products sold in prior years. Brokerage and annuity commissions were up $1 million (19%) between the comparable six month periods of 2014 and 2013, primarily due to increased brokerage sales. All remaining core-fee based revenue categories on a combined basis were up $1 million (3%).relatively unchanged.

Net mortgage banking income was $6$12 million for the first quarterhalf of 2014 and $18$37 million for the first quarterhalf of 2013. Net mortgage banking consists of gross mortgage banking income less mortgage servicing rights expense. Gross mortgage banking income (which includes servicing fees, and the gain or loss on sales of mortgage loans to the secondary market, related feeschanges to the mortgage loan repurchase reserve, and the fair value marksadjustments on derivatives (collectively “gains on sales and related income”)) was $9 million for the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of $9mortgage derivatives. Gross mortgage banking income decreased $16 million compared to the first quarterhalf of 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable2013, due to lower gains on sales (down $13 million) and related income (down $12 million)a $9 million reduction in the fair value of the mortgage derivatives, partially offset by a $4$6 million reductionfavorable change in the mortgage loan repurchase reserve provision (seeprovision. See Note 12 “Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contingent Liabilities,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning thisthe mortgage loan repurchase reserve).reserve. Secondary mortgage production was $204 million and $681$479 million for the first quartershalf of 2014 and 2013, respectively.$1.5 billion for the first half of 2013.

Mortgage servicing rights expense includes both the amortization of the mortgage servicing rights asset and changes to the valuation allowance associated with the mortgage servicing rights asset. Mortgage servicing rights expense is affected by the size of the servicing portfolio, as well as the changes in the estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights asset. Mortgage servicing rights expense was $3$10 million higher than the first quartercomparable six-month period in 2013, with a $5$13 million lower recovery of the valuation reserve, partially offset by a $2$3 million reduction in amortization due to slower prepayments. Mortgage servicing rights are considered a critical accounting policy given that estimating their fair value involves a discounted cash flow model and assumptions that involve judgment, particularly of estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgages serviced and the overall level of interest rates. See section “Critical Accounting Policies,” as well as Note 7 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure.

Net capital market fees decreased $3 million primarily due to the change in the credit risk of interest-rate related derivative instruments. Bank owned life insurance income was $4$7 million, up $1 million from the first quarterhalf of 2013 primarily due to death benefits received during the first quarterhalf of 2014. All remaining noninterest income categories on a combined basis were $6$5 million, down 7%9% from the comparable quartersix month period last year.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense was $168$336 million for the first quarterhalf of 2014, relatively unchanged (down 0.2%) from the comparable period in 2013. For 2014, the Corporation expects flat year over year noninterest expense with continued focus on efficiency initiatives.

Income Taxes

The Corporation recognized income tax expense of $21$42 million for both the first quarterhalf of 2014, andcompared to income tax expense of $44 million for the first quarterhalf of 2013.

Income tax expense recorded in the consolidated statements of income involves the interpretation and application of certain accounting pronouncements and federal and state tax codes, and is, therefore, considered a critical accounting policy. Examination by taxing authorities may impact the amount of tax expense and / or reserve for uncertain tax positions if their interpretations differ from those of management, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. See Note 9, “Income Taxes,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements and section “Critical Accounting Policies.”

Credit Risk

Total loans were $16.4$17.0 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014, an increase of $545 million$1.1 billion or 3%7% from December 31, 2013. Commercial and business loans were $6.3$6.7 billion, up $380$746 million (6%(12%) from December 31, 2013, to represent 39%40% of total loans at March 31,June 30, 2014. Commercial real estate totaled $4.0 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014 and represented 24%23% of total loans, an increase of $135$155 million (4%) from December 31, 2013. Consumer loans were $6.1$6.3 billion, up $30$248 million (1%(4%) from December 31, 2013, and represented 37% of total loans at March 31,June 30, 2014.

The Corporation has long-term guidelines relative to the proportion of Commercial and Business, Commercial Real Estate, and Consumer loans within the overall loan portfolio, with each targeted to represent 30-40% of the overall loan portfolio. The targeted long-term guidelines were unchanged during 2013 and the first threesix months of 2014. Furthermore, certain sub-asset classes within the respective portfolios were further defined and dollar limitations were placed on these sub-portfolios. These guidelines and limits are reviewed quarterly and approved annually by the Enterprise Risk Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors. These guidelines and limits are designed to create balance and diversification within the loan portfolios.

The commercial and business lending portfolio, which consists of commercial and business loans and owner occupied commercial real estate loans, was $6.3$6.7 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014, up $380$746 million (6%(12%) since year-end 2013. The commercial and business lending classification primarily includes commercial loans to large corporations, middle market companies and small businesses. At March 31,June 30, 2014, the largest industry groups within the commercial and business loan category included the manufacturing sector which represented 9% of total loans and 23%22% of the total commercial and business loan portfolio. The next largest industry group within the commercial and business loan category was the wholesale trade sector, which represented 5%4% of total loans and 12%11% of the total commercial and business loan portfolio at March 31,June 30, 2014. The remaining portfolio is spread over a diverse range of industries, none of which exceeds 5% of total loans. The credit risk related to commercial loans is largely influenced by general economic conditions and the resulting impact on a borrower’s operations or on the value of underlying collateral, if any.

59


The commercial real estate lending portfolio, which consists of investor commercial real estate and construction loans, totaled $4.0 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014, up $135$155 million (4%) from December 31, 2013. Within the commercial real estate lending portfolio, commercial real estate lending to investors totaled $3.0 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014, an increase of $62$51 million (2%) from December 31, 2013. Commercial real estate primarily includes commercial-based loans to investors that are secured by commercial income properties or multi-family projects. Commercial real estate loans are typically intermediate to long-term financings. Loans of this type are mainly secured by commercial income properties or multi-family projects. Credit risk is managed in a similar manner to commercial and business loans by employing sound underwriting guidelines, lending primarily to borrowers in local markets and businesses, periodically evaluating the underlying collateral, and formally reviewing the borrower’s financial soundness and relationship on an ongoing basis. Real estate construction loans were $970 million,$1.0 billion, an increase of $73$104 million (8%(12%) compared to December 31, 2013. Loans in this classification are primarily short-term or interim loans that provide financing for the acquisition or development of commercial income properties, multi-family projects or residential development, both single family and condominium. Real estate construction loans are made to developers and project managers who are generally well known to the Corporation, and have prior successful project experience. The credit risk associated with real estate construction loans is generally confined to specific geographic areas but is also influenced by general economic conditions. The Corporation controls the credit risk on these types of loans by making loans in familiar markets to developers, reviewing the merits of individual projects, controlling loan structure, and monitoring project progress and construction advances.

The Corporation’s current lending standards for commercial real estate and real estate construction lending are determined by property type and specifically address many criteria, including: maximum loan amounts, maximum loan-to-value (“LTV”), requirements for pre-leasing and / or presales, minimum borrower equity, and maximum loan to cost. Currently, the maximum standard for LTV is 80%, with lower limits established for certain higher risk types, such as raw land which has a 50% LTV maximum. The Corporation’s LTV guidelines are in compliance with regulatory supervisory limits. In most cases, for real estate construction loans, the loan amounts include interest reserves, which are built into the loans and sized to fund loan payments through construction and lease up and / or sell out.

Consumer loans totaled $6.1$6.3 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014, up $30$248 million (1%(4%) compared to December 31, 2013. Loans in this classification include residential mortgage, home equity, installment loans and installment loans.credit cards. Residential mortgage loans totaled $3.9$4.1 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014, up $107$297 million (3%(8%) from December 31, 2013. Residential mortgage loans include conventional first lien home mortgages and the Corporation generally limits the maximum loan to 80% of collateral value without credit enhancement (e.g. private mortgage insurance). As part of management’s historical practice of originating and servicing residential mortgage loans,

generally the Corporation’s 30-year, fixed-rate residential real estate mortgage loans are sold in the secondary market with servicing rights retained. The Corporation also retains a portion of its 15-year and under, fixed-rate residential real estate mortgages in its loan portfolio. At March 31,June 30, 2014, the residential mortgage portfolio was comprised of $1.4 billion of fixed-rate residential real estate mortgages and $2.5$2.7 billion of adjustable-rate residential real estate mortgages.

The Corporation’s underwriting and risk-based pricing guidelines for residential mortgage loans include minimum borrower FICO and maximum LTV of the property securing the loan. Residential mortgage products generally are underwritten using FHLMC and FNMA secondary marketing guidelines.

Home equity totaled $1.8$1.7 billion at March 31,June 30, 2014, down $63$111 million (4%(6%) compared to December 31, 2013, and consists of home equity lines, as well as home equity loans, approximately half of which are first lien positions. Home equity balances declined as customers continued to deleverage and refinance into lower-priced, first lien residential mortgage loans. Loans and lines in a junior position at March 31,June 30, 2014 included approximately 35%34% for which the Corporation also owned or serviced the related first lien loan and approximately 65%66% where the Corporation did not service the related first lien loan.

The Corporation’s credit risk monitoring guidelines for home equity is based on an ongoing review of loan delinquency status, as well as a semi-annual review of FICO score deterioration and property devaluation. The Corporation does not routinely obtain appraisals on performing loans to update LTV ratios after origination; however, the Corporation monitors the local housing markets by reviewing the various home price indices and incorporates the impact of the changing market conditions in its ongoing credit monitoring process. For second lien home equity loans, the Corporation is unable to track the performance of the first lien loan if it does not own or service the first lien loan. However, the Corporation obtains a refreshed FICO score on a semi-annual basis and monitors this as part of its assessment of the home equity portfolio.

60


The Corporation’s underwriting and risk-based pricing guidelines for home equity lines and loans consist of a combination of both borrower FICO and the original LTV of the property securing the loan. Currently, for home equity products, the maximum acceptable LTV is 90% for customers with FICO scores exceeding 700.670. Home equity loans generally have a 20 year term and are fixed rate with principal and interest payments required. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, approximately 40%39% of the home equity loan first liens have a remaining maturity of more than 10 years. Home equity lines are variable rate, interest only lines of credit which do not require the payment of principal during the initial revolving period, after which principal payments are required. Based upon outstanding balances at March 31,June 30, 2014, the following table presents the periods when home equity lines of credit revolving periods are scheduled to end.

Installment loansand credit cards totaled $393$469 million at March 31,June 30, 2014 down $14up $62 million (3%(15%) compared to December 31, 2013, and consist of student loans, as well as short-term and other personal installment loans.loans and credit cards. The Corporation had $319$309 million and $330 million of student loans at March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the majority of which are government guaranteed. Credit risk for non-government guaranteed student, short-term and personal installment loans is generally influenced by general economic conditions, the characteristics of individual borrowers, and the nature of the loan collateral. Risks of loss are generally on smaller average balances per loan spread over many borrowers. Once charged off, there is usually less opportunity for recovery on these smaller retail loans. Credit risk is primarily controlled by reviewing the creditworthiness of the borrowers, monitoring payment histories, and taking appropriate collateral and guaranty positions.

Factors that are important to managing overall credit quality are sound loan underwriting and administration, systematic monitoring of existing loans and commitments, effective loan review on an ongoing basis, early identification of potential problems, and appropriate allowance for credit losses, nonaccrual and charge off policies.

An active credit risk management process is used for commercial loans to further ensure that sound and consistent credit decisions are made. Credit risk is controlled by detailed underwriting procedures, comprehensive loan administration, and periodic review of borrowers’ outstanding loans and commitments. Borrower relationships are formally reviewed and graded on an ongoing basis for early identification of potential problems. Further analyses by customer, industry, and geographic location are performed to monitor trends, financial performance, and concentrations.

The loan portfolio is widely diversified by types of borrowers, industry groups, and market areas within our core footprint. Significant loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to numerous borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At March 31,June 30, 2014, no significant concentrations existed in the Corporation’s portfolio in excess of 10% of total loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Credit risks within the loan portfolio are inherently different for each loan type. Credit risk is controlled and monitored through the use of lending standards, a thorough review of potential borrowers, and ongoing review of loan payment performance. Active asset quality administration, including early problem loan identification and timely resolution of problems, aids in the management of credit risk and minimization of loan losses. Credit risk management for each loan type is discussed briefly in the section entitled “Credit Risk.”

The allowance for credit losses is comprised of the allowance for loan losses and the allowance for unfunded commitments. The level of the allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of an amount appropriate to provide for probable credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for unfunded commitments is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable losses related to unfunded credit facilities (including unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit) and is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

The level of the allowance for credit losses represents management’s estimate of an amount appropriate to provide for probable credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. In general, the change in the allowance for credit losses is a function of a number of factors, including but not limited to changes in the loan portfolio (see Table 5), net charge offs (see Table 7) and nonperforming

assets (see Table 8). The Corporation’s process, designed to assess the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses, focuses on an evaluation of facts and issues related to specific loans, management’s ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio, consideration of historical loan loss and delinquency experience on each portfolio category, trends in past due and nonaccrual loans, the level of potential problem loans, the risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans, changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio, concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries, existing economic conditions, the fair value of underlying collateral, and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses. While management uses currently available information to recognize losses on loans, future adjustments to the allowance for credit losses may be necessary based on newly received appraisals, updated commercial customer financial statements, rapidly deteriorating customer cash flow, and changes in economic conditions that affect our customers. Management considers the allowance for credit losses a critical accounting policy (see section “Critical Accounting Policies”), as assessing these numerous factors involves significant judgment.

62


The methodology used for the allowance for loan losses at March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was generally comparable, whereby the Corporation segregated its loss factors (used for both criticized and non-criticized loan categories) into a component primarily based on historical loss rates and a component primarily based on other qualitative factors that may affect loan collectability. Management allocates the allowance for loan losses by pools of risk within each loan portfolio. The allocation methodology consists of the following components: First, a valuation allowance estimate is established for specifically identified commercial and consumer loans determined by the Corporation to be impaired, using discounted cash flows, estimated fair value of underlying collateral, and / or other data available. Second, management allocates the allowance for loan losses with loss factors, for criticized loan pools by loan type as well as for non-criticized loan pools by loan type, primarily based on historical loss rates after considering loan type, historical loss and delinquency experience, and industry statistics. Loans that have been criticized are considered to have a higher risk of default than non-criticized loans, as circumstances were present to support the lower loan grade, warranting higher loss factors. The loss factors applied in the methodology are periodically re-evaluated and adjusted to reflect changes in historical loss levels or other risks. Lastly, management allocates the allowance for loan losses to absorb unrecognized losses that may not be provided for by the other components due to other factors evaluated by management, such as limitations within the credit risk grading process, known current economic or business conditions that may not yet show in trends, industry or other concentrations with current issues that impose higher inherent risks than are reflected in the loss factors, and other relevant considerations. Because each of the criteria used is subject to change, the allocation of the allowance for loan losses is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the trend of future loan losses in any particular category. The total allowance for loan losses is available to absorb losses from any segment of the loan portfolio.

The methodology used for the allowance for unfunded commitments at March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was also generally comparable. Management evaluated the unfunded credit facilities, including an assessment of historical commitment utilization experience and credit risk grading of the loan.

At March 31,June 30, 2014, the allowance for credit losses was $290$292 million compared to $308$300 million at March 31,June 30, 2013, and relatively unchanged from $290 million at December 31, 2013. At March 31,June 30, 2014, the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.63%1.59% and covered 151%152% of nonaccrual loans, compared to 1.84%1.76% and 127%, respectively, at March 31,June 30, 2013, and 1.69% and 145%, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The ratio of net charge offs to average loans on an annualized basis was 0.14%0.10%, 0.38%0.36%, and 0.25% for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, and 2013, and the full year 2013, respectively. Tables 7 and 8 provide additional information regarding activity in the allowance for loan losses, impaired loans, and nonperforming assets. See Note 6, “Loans, Allowance for Credit Losses, and Credit Quality,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional allowance for loan losses disclosures.

Management believes the level of allowance for credit losses to be appropriate at March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. For the remainder of 2014, the Corporation expects the provision for credit losses will grow based on expected loan growth.growth and other factors.

Nonaccrual Loans, Potential Problem Loans, and Other Real Estate Owned

Management is committed to a proactive nonaccrual and problem loan identification philosophy. This philosophy is implemented through the ongoing monitoring and review of all pools of risk in the loan portfolio to ensure that problem loans are identified quickly and the risk of loss is minimized. Table 8 provides detailed information regarding nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned.

Nonaccrual Loans: Nonaccrual loans are considered one indicator of potential future loan losses. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when contractually past due 90 days or more as to interest or principal payments, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. Additionally, whenever management becomes aware of facts or circumstances that may adversely impact the collectability of principal or interest on loans, it is management’s practice to place such loans on nonaccrual status immediately, rather than delaying such action until the loans become 90 days past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed, amortization of related deferred loan fees or costs is suspended, and income is recorded only to the extent that interest payments are subsequently received in cash and a determination has been made that the principal and interest balance of the loan is collectible. If collectability of the principal and interest is in doubt, payments received are applied to loan principal.

Nonaccrual loans were $178$179 million at March 31,June 30, 2014, compared to $225$217 million at March 31,June 30, 2013 and $185 million at December 31, 2013. Total nonaccrual loans were down $47$38 million (21%(18%) since March 31,June 30, 2013, and decreased $7$6 million (4%(3%) from December 31, 2013. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans was 1.08%1.05% at March 31,June 30, 2014, compared to 1.45%1.38% at March 31,June 30, 2013 and 1.17% at December 31, 2013. The Corporation’s allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans was 151%152% at March 31,June 30, 2014, up from 127% at March 31,June 30, 2013 and 145% at December 31, 2013, respectively.

Accruing Loans Past Due 90 Days or More: Loans past due 90 days or more but still accruing interest are classified as such where the underlying loans are both well secured (the collateral value is sufficient to cover principal and accrued interest) and are in the process of collection. At March 31,June 30, 2014, accruing loans 90 days or more past due totaled $1 million down from $6 million at March 31, 2013 and $2 million, atrelatively unchanged from both June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“Restructured Loans”):: Loans are considered restructured loans if concessions have been granted to borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulty. The concessions granted generally involve the modification of terms of the loan, such as changes in payment structure or interest rate, which generally would not otherwise be considered. Restructured loans can involve loans remaining on nonaccrual, moving to nonaccrual, or continuing on accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. Nonaccrual restructured loans are included and treated with all other nonaccrual loans. In addition, all accruing restructured loans are reported as troubled debt restructurings, which are considered and accounted for as impaired loans. Generally, restructured loans remain on nonaccrual until the customer has attained a sustained period of repayment performance under the modified loan terms (generally a minimum of six months). However, performance prior to the restructuring, or significant events that coincide with the restructuring, are considered in assessing whether the borrower can meet the new terms and whether the loan should be returned to or maintained on accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan remains on nonaccrual status.

Potential Problem Loans: The level of potential problem loans is another predominant factor in determining the relative level of risk in the loan portfolio and in determining the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses. Potential problem loans are generally defined by management to include loans rated as substandard by management but that are not considered impaired (i.e., nonaccrual loans and accruing troubled debt restructurings); however, there are circumstances present to create doubt as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present repayment terms. The decision of management to include performing loans in potential problem loans does not necessarily mean that the Corporation expects losses to occur, but that management recognizes a higher degree of risk associated with these loans. The loans that have been reported as potential problem loans are predominantly commercial loans covering a diverse range of businesses and real estate property types. At March 31,June 30, 2014, potential problem loans totaled $220$288 million, compared to $344$310 million at March 31,June 30, 2013 and $235 million at December 31, 2013, respectively. The increase in potential problem loans from December 31, 2013 was primarily due to the downgrade of several shared national credits in second quarter of 2014.

Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned was $19$18 million at March 31,June 30, 2014, compared to $35$27 million at March 31,June 30, 2013 and $18 million at December 31, 2013, respectively. Write-downs on other real estate owned were relatively unchanged at $1 million and $2 million for the first threesix months of 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $4 million for the full year 2013. Management actively seeks to ensure properties held are monitored to minimize the Corporation’s risk of loss.

Liquidity

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that the Corporation has the ability to generate sufficient cash or cash equivalents in a timely and cost-effective manner to satisfy the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers and to meet its other commitments as they fall due, including the ability to pay dividends to shareholders, service debt, invest in subsidiaries or acquisitions, and satisfy other operating requirements. In addition to satisfying cash flow requirements in the ordinary course of business, the Corporation actively monitors and manages its liquidity position to ensure sufficient resources are available to meet cash flow requirements in adverse situations.

The Corporation’s internal liquidity management framework includes measurement of several key elements, such as deposit funding as a percent of total assets and liquid asset levels. Strong capital ratios, credit quality, and core earnings are essential to maintaining cost-effective access to wholesale funding markets. A downgrade or loss in credit ratings could have an impact on the Corporation’s ability to access wholesale funding at favorable interest rates. In addition to static liquidity measures, the Corporation performs dynamic scenario analysis in accordance with industry best practices. Measures have been established to ensure the Corporation has sufficient high quality short-term liquidity to meet cash flow requirements under stressed scenarios. At March 31,June 30, 2014, the Corporation was in compliance with its internal liquidity objectives.policies.

While core deposits and loan and investment securities repayments are principal sources of liquidity, funding diversification is another key element of liquidity management. Diversity is achieved by strategically varying depositor type, term, funding market, and instrument. The Parent Company and its subsidiary bank are rated by Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”), and Dominion Bond Rating Service (“DBRS”). Credit ratings by these nationally recognized statistical rating agencies are an important component of the Corporation’s liquidity profile. Credit ratings relate to the Corporation’s ability to issue debt securities and the cost to borrow money, and should not be viewed as an indication of future stock performance or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities. Among other factors, the credit ratings are based on financial strength, credit quality and concentrations in the loan portfolio, the level and volatility of earnings, capital adequacy, the quality of management, the liquidity of the balance sheet, the availability of a significant base of core deposits, and the Corporation’s ability to access a broad array of wholesale funding sources. Adverse changes in these factors could result in a negative change in credit ratings and impact not only the ability to raise funds in the capital markets but also the cost of these funds. Ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time and each rating should be evaluated independently. The senior credit ratings of the Parent Company and its subsidiary bank are displayed below.

The Corporation also has multiple funding sources that could be used to increase liquidity and provide additional financial flexibility. On April 4, 2014, theThe Parent Company has filed a shelf registration with the SEC. Pending effectiveness,SEC under which the Parent Company may, from time to time, offer shares of the Corporation’s common stock under the shelf registration statement at the time of our acquisitionin connection with acquisitions of businesses, assets or securities of other companies. The Parent Company has also filed a universal shelf registration statements,statement, under which the Parent Company may offer securities, either separately or in units: debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, and warrants. The Parent Company also has a $200 million commercial paper program, of which, $84$78 million was outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2014.

While dividends and service fees from subsidiaries and proceeds from issuance of capital are primary funding sources for the Parent Company, these sources could be limited or costly (such as by regulation or subject to the capital needs of its subsidiaries or by market appetite for bank holding company stock). The Parent Company received dividends of $23$127 million during the first threesix months of 2014 from subsidiaries.

The Bank has established federal funds lines with counterparty banks and has the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank ($2.73.8 billion of Federal Home Loan Bank advances were outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2014). The Bank also has significant excess loan

and investment securities collateral which could be pledged to secure additional deposits or to counterparty banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank or other parties as necessary. Associated Bank may also issue institutional certificates of deposit, network transaction deposits, and brokered certificates of deposit.

Investment securities are an important tool to the Corporation’s liquidity objective. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the majority of investment securities are classified as available for sale, with a only a portion of municipal securities (less than 25%)$250 million) classified as held to maturity. Of the $5.5$5.8 billion investment securities portfolio at March 31,June 30, 2014, a portion of these securities were pledged to secure collateralized deposits and repurchase agreements and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. The majority of the remaining investment securities of $1.9$2.8 billion could be pledged or sold to enhance liquidity, if necessary.

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities and financing activities was $73$117 million and $536$1.4 billion, respectively, while net cash used in investing activities was $1.5 billion, for a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $44 million since year-end 2013. During the first six months of 2014, loans increased $1.1 billion and investment securities increased $327 million. On the funding side, deposits increased $49 million and short-term funding increased $1.6 billion, while long-term funding decreased $155 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities and financing activities was $193 million and $137 million, respectively, while net cash used in investing activities was $588$513 million, for a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $21 million since year-end 2013. During the first three months of 2014, loans increased $545 million and investment securities increased $46 million. On the funding side, deposits increased $243 million and short-term funding increased $507 million, while long-term funding decreased $155 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $134 million while net cash used in investing and financing activities was $220 million and $224 million, respectively, for a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $310$183 million since year-end 2012.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk and interest rate risk are managed centrally. Market risk is the potential for loss arising from adverse changes in the fair value of fixed income securities, equity securities, other earning assets and derivative financial instruments as a result of changes in interest rates or other factors. Interest rate risk is the potential for reduced net interest income resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. As a financial institution that engages in transactions involving an array of financial products, the Corporation is exposed to both market risk and interest rate risk. In addition to market risk, interest rate risk is measured and managed through a number of methods. The Corporation uses financial modeling simulation techniques that measure the sensitivity of future earnings due to changing rate environments to measure interest rate risk.

Policies established by the Corporation’s Asset / Liability Committee (“ALCO”) and approved by the Board of Directors are intended to limit these risks. The Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for managing market and interest rate risk to ALCO. The primary objectives of market risk management is to minimize any adverse effect that changes in market risk factors may have on net interest income and to offset the risk of price changes for certain assets recorded at fair value.

Interest Rate Risk

In order to measure earnings sensitivity to changing market interest rates, the Corporation uses a simulation model to measure the impact of various interest rate shocks and other yield curve scenarios on earnings and the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of the Corporation. The Corporation compares earnings between a static balance sheet scenario and balance sheets with projected growth scenarios to quantify the potential impact on such earnings of various balance sheet management and business strategies.

Simulation of earnings: Determining the sensitivity of short-term future earnings is accomplished through the use of simulation modeling. Assumptions involving projected balance sheet growth, market spreads, prepayments of rate-sensitive instruments, and the cash flows from maturing assets and liabilities are incorporated in these simulation analyses. These analyses are designed to project net interest income based on various interest rate scenarios, compared to a baseline scenario. The Corporation runs numerous scenarios including instantaneous and gradual changes to market interest rates as well as yield curve slope changes. It then compares such scenarios to the baseline scenario to quantify its earnings sensitivity.

70


The resulting simulations for March 31,June 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013 projected that net interest income would increase by approximately 1.3%1.1% and 0.4%, respectively, if rates rose instantaneously by a 100 bp shock and projected that net interest income would increase by approximately 2.8%2.5% and 0.9%, respectively, if rates rose instantaneously by a 200 bp shock. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the simulations of earnings results were within the limits of the Corporation’s interest rate risk policy.

Market value of equity: The Corporation uses the market value of equity as a measure to quantify market risk from the impact of interest rates. The market value of equity is the fair value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet financial instruments derived from the present value of the future cash flows. While the net interest income simulation model highlights exposures over a short time horizon, the market value of equity incorporates all cash flows over all of the balance sheet and derivative positions.

These results are based on multiple path simulations using an interest rate simulation model calibrated to market traded instruments. Sensitivities are measured assuming several factors including immediate and sustained parallel and non-parallel changes in market rates, yield curves and rate indexes. These factors quantify yield curve risk, basis risk, options risk, repricing mismatch risk, and market spread risk. The results are considered to be conservative estimates due to the fact that no management action to mitigate potential income variances is included within the simulation assumption set. These potentially mitigating factors include future balance sheet growth, changes in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the projected changes for the market value of equity were within the limits of the Corporation’s interest rate risk policy.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Contingent Liabilities

The Corporation utilizes a variety of financial instruments in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers and to manage its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include lending-related commitments and derivative instruments. A discussion of the Corporation’s derivative instruments at March 31,June 30, 2014, is included in Note 10, “Derivative and Hedging Activities,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements. A discussion of the Corporation’s lending-related commitments is included in Note 12, “Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Contingent Liabilities,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements. See also Note 8, “Short and Long-Term Funding,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information on the Corporation’s short-term and long-term funding.

Capital

Stockholders’ equity at March 31,June 30, 2014 was $2.9 billion, up slightly ($1039 million) from December 31, 2013. At March 31,June 30, 2014, stockholders’ equity included $12$10 million of accumulated other comprehensive lossincome compared to $24 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2013. Cash dividends of $0.09$0.18 per share were paid in the first quarterhalf of 2014 and $0.08$0.16 per share were paid in the first quarterhalf of 2013. The ratio of total stockholders’ equity to assets was 11.69%11.39% and 11.93% at March 31,June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

On July 23, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the Corporation to repurchase up to an aggregate amount of $120 million of common stock, of which, $56 million remained available to repurchase as of March 31, 2014. On March 18, 2014, the Board of Directors also authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $120 million of common stock, which is in addition to the $56 million remaining under the July 2013 common stock repurchase authorization. During the first quarterhalf of 2014, 2.34.0 million shares were repurchased for $39$69 million (or an average cost per common share of $17.20)$17.27), while during the full year 2013, 7.7 million shares were repurchased for $120 million (or an average cost per common share of $15.57). The Corporation also repurchased shares for minimum tax withholding settlements on equity compensation totaling approximately $3$4 million (182,331(215,900 shares at an average cost per common

71


share of $17.05)$16.44) during the first quarterhalf of 2014, relatively unchanged from thecompared to repurchases of shares for minimum tax withholding settlements on equity compensation totaling approximately $3 million (239,215 shares at an

average cost per common share of $14.00) for the full year 2013. At June 30, 2014, the Corporation had $146 million remaining under repurchase authorizations previously approved by the Board of Directors. See section “Recent Developments” for additional information on the July 2014 common stock repurchases. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds,” for additional information on the shares repurchased during the firstsecond quarter of 2014. The repurchase of shares will be based on market and investment opportunities, capital levels, growth prospects, and regulatory constraints. Such repurchases may occur from time to time in open market purchases, block transactions, private transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or similar facilities.

Management actively reviews capital strategies for the Corporation and each of its subsidiaries in light of perceived business risks, future growth opportunities, industry standards, and compliance with regulatory requirements. The assessment of overall capital adequacy depends on a variety of factors, including asset quality, liquidity, stability of earnings, changing competitive forces, economic condition in markets served, and strength of management. The capital ratios of the Corporation and its banking affiliate were in excess of regulatory minimum requirements. The Corporation’s capital ratios are summarized in Table 10.

(1)Tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible common equity, and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures. Additionally, any ratios utilizing these financial measures are non-GAAP measures. These financial measures have been included as they are considered to be critical metrics with which to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength. Tangible stockholders’ equity is defined as stockholders’ equity excluding goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible common equity is defined as common stockholders’ equity excluding goodwill and other intangible assets. Tangible assets is defined as total assets excluding goodwill and other intangible assets.
(2)The FRB establishes capital adequacy requirements, including well-capitalized standards for the Corporation. The OCC establishes similar capital adequacy requirements and standards for the Bank. Regulatory capital primarily consists of Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 2 risk-based capital. The sum of Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 2 risk-based capital equals our total risk-based capital. Risk-based capital guidelines require a minimum level of capital as a percentage of risk-weighted assets. Risk-weighted assets consist of total assets plus certain off-balance sheet and market items, subject to adjustment for predefined credit risk factors.
(3)Tier 1 common equity, a non-GAAP financial measure, is used by banking regulators, investors and analysts to assess and compare the quality and composition of our capital with the capital of other financial services companies. Management uses Tier 1 common equity, along with other capital measures, to assess and monitor our capital position. Tier 1 common equity is defined as Tier 1 capital excluding qualifying perpetual preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities.

Comparable Second Quarter Results

73The Corporation recorded net income of $46 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $48 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Net income available to common equity was $45 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, or net income of $0.28 for both basic and diluted earnings per common share. Comparatively, net income available to common equity for the three months ended June 30, 2013, was $47 million, or net income of $0.28 for both basic and diluted earnings per common share (see Table 1).


Taxable equivalent net interest income for the second quarter of 2014 was $173 million, $8 million higher than the second quarter of 2013 (see Table 2). Changes in the balance sheet volume and mix increased taxable equivalent net interest income by $8 million, while changes in the rate environment remained relatively level. The Federal funds target rate was unchanged for both the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013. The net interest margin between the comparable quarters was down 8 bp, to 3.08% in the second quarter of 2014. Average earning assets increased $1.6 billion to $22.5 billion in the second quarter of 2014, with average loans up $919 million (predominantly in commercial loans) and investments and other short-term investments up $668 million (predominantly in mortgage related securities). On the funding side, average interest-bearing deposits were up $186 million and average demand deposits decreased $118 million, while average short and long-term funding was up $1.5 billion (mainly due to FHLB advances).

Credit quality continued to improve with nonaccrual loans declining to $179 million (1.05% of total loans) at June 30, 2014, compared to $217 million (1.38% of total loans) at June 30, 2013 (see Table 8). Compared to the second quarter of 2013, potential problem loans were down 7% to $288 million. The provision for credit losses was $5 million for the second quarter of 2014, flat compared to the second quarter of 2013 (see Table 7). Annualized net charge offs represented 0.06% of average loans for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 0.35% for the second quarter of 2013. The allowance for loan losses to loans at June 30, 2014 was 1.59%, compared to 1.76% at June 30, 2013. See discussion under sections, “Provision for Credit Losses,” “Allowance for Credit Losses,” and “Nonaccrual Loans, Potential Problem Loans, and Other Real Estate Owned.”

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2014 decreased $12 million (14%) to $72 million versus the second quarter of 2013. Core fee-based revenue increased $5 million primarily in insurance commissions due to a $3 million reserve established in the second quarter of 2013 related to third party insurance products sold in prior years. Net mortgage banking income was $5 million, down $14 million from the second of 2013, predominantly due to a decline in the gain on sales of mortgage loans and changes in the mortgage servicing rights valuation reserve (from an $8 million recovery in the second quarter of 2013 versus none in the second quarter of 2014). Net capital market fees decreased $3 million primarily due to the change in the credit risk of interest related derivative instruments. Other income decreased $1million from the second quarter of 2013 due to one-time charges related to customer reimbursements paid in the second quarter of 2014.

On a comparable quarter basis, noninterest expense decreased $1 million (1%) to $168 million in the second quarter of 2014. Personnel expense decreased $2 million (2%) from the second quarter of 2013, primarily due to lower health insurance expenses (reflecting changes in employee health decisions) and lower pension expense. Legal and professional fees decreased $1 million due to a decrease in consultant costs. Technology increased $2 million as we continue to invest in solutions that will drive operational efficiency.

For the second quarter of 2014, the Corporation recognized income tax expense of $22 million, compared to income tax expense of $23 million for the second quarter of 2013. The effective tax rate was 31.84% and 32.07% for the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013, respectively.

Future Accounting Pronouncements

New accounting policies adopted by the Corporation are discussed in Note 2, “New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted,” of the notes to consolidated financial statements. The expected impact of accounting pronouncements recently issued or proposed but not yet required to be adopted are discussed below. To the extent the adoption of new accounting standards materially affects the Corporation’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity, the impacts are discussed in the applicable sections of this financial review and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to the stock compensation accounting guidance to clarify that a performance target that affects vesting of a share-based payment and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Corporation intends to adopt the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2016, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact on its results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to clarify the current accounting and disclosures for certain repurchase agreements. The amendments in this Update require two accounting changes: (1) change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting and (2) require separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. The amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures for certain transactions on the transfer of financial assets, as well as new disclosures for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions that are accounted for as secured borrowings. This amendment is effective for public business entities for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014. Early application is prohibited. The Corporation intends to adopt the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2015, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact on its results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” In applying the revenue model to contracts within its scope, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) Determine the transaction price, (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Codification. The standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (including interim reporting periods within those periods). Early application is not permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2017, as required, and is currently evaluating the impact on its results of operations, financial position, and liquidity.

In January 2014, the FASB issued an amendment to clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar agreement. In addition, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure in accordance with local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments using either a modified retrospective method or a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation intends to adopt the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2015, as required, with no expected material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

In January 2014, the FASB issued an amendment which permits reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). For those investments in qualified affordable housing projects not accounted for using the proportional method, the investment should be accounted for as an equity method investment or a cost method investment. The decision to apply the proportional amortization method of accounting is an accounting policy decision that should be applied consistently to all qualifying affordable housing project investments rather than a decision to be applied to individual investments. This amendment should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Corporation intends to adopt the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2015, as required, with no expected material impact on its results of operations, financial position, or liquidity.

Information required by this item is set forth in Item 2 under the captions “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and “Interest Rate Risk.”

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

The Corporation maintains disclosure controls and procedures as required under Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of March 31,June 30, 2014, the Corporation’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31,June 30, 2014. No changes were made to the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act of 1934) during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The following is a description of the Corporation’s material pending legal proceedings.

A lawsuit,R.J. ZAYED v. Associated Bank, N.A.,was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on January 29, 2013. The lawsuit relates to a Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Oxford Global Partners and related entities (“Oxford”) and individuals and was brought by the receiver for Oxford. Oxford was a depository customer of the Bank. The lawsuit claims that the Bank is liable for failing to uncover the Oxford Ponzi scheme, and specifically alleges the Bank aided and abetted (1) the fraudulent scheme; (2) a breach of fiduciary duty; (3) conversion; and (4) false representations and omissions. The lawsuit seeks unspecified consequential and punitive damages. The District Court granted the Bank’s motion to dismiss the complaint on September 30, 2013, and the plaintiff has appealed such dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. It is not possible for management to assess the probability of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimate the amount of any potential loss at this time. A lawsuit by investors in the same Ponzi scheme,Herman Grad, et al v. Associated Bank, N.A.,brought in Brown County, Wisconsin in October 2009 was dismissed by the circuit court, and the dismissal was affirmed by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals in June 2011 in an unpublished opinion.

In July 2013, the OCC notified the Bank that it was considering imposing a civil money penalty related to the Bank’s past BSA deficiencies which were the subject of a Consent Order. The Consent Order was subsequently terminated in March, 2014. The Bank has responded to such notice, and after considering the Bank’s response, the OCC may impose a civil money penalty related to such deficiencies. The Corporation has also been informed by the OCC that the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is also considering imposing a civil money penalty related to the same past BSA deficiencies. It is not possible for management to estimate a reasonable range of exposure relating to these potential civil money penalties at this time.

A purported class action lawsuit,Wanda Boone v. Associated Banc-Corp,was filed on April 10, 2014 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The lawsuit claims that loan coordinators employed by the Bank were not compensated for all hours worked, including the payment of overtime, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and Wisconsin wage laws. The lawsuit seeks monetary damages and attorneys’ fees. The Corporation intendsfiled a motion to vigorously defenddismiss on June 5, 2014. On July 29, 2014, the lawsuit. It is not possibleparties entered into a Joint Stipulation to Dismiss Case which provided for managementthe dismissal of the case with prejudice. As part of the resolution of this matter, the Corporation made an immaterial payment to assess the probabilityplaintiff.

The Bank entered into a Stipulation and Consent Order for a Civil Money Penalty with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) dated June 26, 2014, which provides for the payment by the Bank of a material adverse outcome or reasonably estimatecivil money penalty of $500,000. The civil money penalty, which was paid in June 2014, relates to BSA/AML deficiencies which were the amountsubject of any potential loss at this time.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

a Consent Order dated February 23, 2012. The following risk factor is added to those set forthConsent Order was subsequently terminated in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Except as described below, the material risks and uncertainties that management believes effect the Corporation have not changed materially from those described in the Form 10-K.March, 2014.

Acquisitions may be delayed, impeded, or prohibited by regulatory authorities due to regulatory issues. Acquisitions by the Corporation, particularly those of financial institutions, are subject to approval by a variety of federal and state regulatory agencies (collectively, “regulatory approvals”). These regulatory approvals could be delayed, impeded, or denied due to existing or new regulatory issues the Corporation has, or may have, with regulatory agencies, including, without limitation, issues related to AML/BSA compliance, fair lending laws, consumer protection laws, unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices regulations, Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) issues, and other similar laws and regulations. Problems with acquisitions due to such issues could have a material adverse impact on our business, and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.
