ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
BOK Financial Corporation ("BOK Financial") was incorporated under the laws of
the State of Oklahoma on October 24, 1990. Active operations as a bank holding
company commenced on June 7, 1991 with the acquisition of the preferred stock
("BOk Preferred Stock") of Bank of Oklahoma, National Association ("BOk") from
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the conversion of the BOk
Preferred Stock into 99.99% of the common stock of BOk. BOK Financial is
regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA").
BOK Financial operates primarily through BOk, BOk's subsidiaries and Citizens
Bank of Northwest Arkansas, National Association ("CBNWA"). The existing and
future activities of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries are limited by the BHCA,
which prohibits a bank holding company from engaging in any business other than
banking, managing or controlling banks, and furnishing and performing certain
bank-related services and activities.
Shares disclosed in the following transactions have not been restated for
subsequent stock dividends.
On June 7, 1991, BOK Financial paid $60.75 million to the FDIC for the BOk
Preferred Stock. To finance this acquisition, BOK Financial issued preferred
stock totaling $15.0 million at $6.00 per share and common stock ("Common
Stock") totaling $46.0 million at $5.75 per share to George B. Kaiser
("Kaiser"), BOK Financial's principal shareholder. Kaiser purchased an
additional $10.0 million of BOK Financial Common Stock at $5.75 per share, and
BOK Financial contributed the $10.0 million to BOk as additional capital. Per
share amounts reflect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split effective December 17,
1991 ("reverse stock split").
Following a bidding process conducted by the Resolution Trust Corporation
("RTC"), BOK Financial, through the mortgage banking subsidiary of BOk,
BancOklahoma Mortgage Corp. ("BOMC"), acquired on June 10, 1991 approximately
$1.0 billion of mortgage servicing rights and certain other assets of Maxim
Mortgage Corporation ("Maxim"). Maxim was formerly a subsidiary of Sooner
Federal Savings and Loan Association, which had failed and had been placed under
the control of the RTC.
Also following a bidding process by the RTC, BOK Financial acquired on August 9,
1991 certain assets and assumed certain liabilities, primarily deposits, of
eight branches of Continental Federal Savings and Loan Association of Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. BOK Financial assumed deposits of approximately $214.5 million
and paid the RTC a premium of $4.1 million. Kaiser acquired an additional $20.0
million of BOK Financial's Common Stock at $5.75 per share (after effect of the
reverse stock split), and BOK Financial contributed the $20.0 million to BOk to
facilitate the purchase.
On March 27, 1992, CBNWA acquired certain assets and assumed the deposits and
certain obligations of two branches of the failed Home Federal Savings & Loan
Association from the RTC for $1.1 million.
On July 16, 1992, Bank of Oklahoma, N.A., South, an unconsolidated banking
subsidiary, was merged into BOk.
On November 13, 1992, BOK Financial purchased Southwest Trustcorp, Inc. and its
subsidiary, The Trust Company of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, in exchange for
400,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $4.6 million.
On December 31, 1992, BOK Financial acquired certain assets and assumed $502.9
million of deposits and other liabilities of 19 branches of the Sooner Division
of First Gibraltar Bank, FSB of Irving, Texas for a purchase price of $16.5
million.
On May 7, 1993, BOK Financial issued 343,295 common shares valued at $6.9
million and paid $3.9 million to acquire Sand Springs Bancshares, Inc. and its
subsidiary, Sand Springs State Bank.
Also on May 7, 1993, BOK Financial issued 1,183,691 common shares to acquire
Brookside Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiary, Brookside State Bank, in a
pooling-of-interests transaction. Financial information of BOK Financial for
1992 and 1991 has been restated to reflect this acquisition.
On October 9, 1993, BOK Financial acquired certain assets and assumed the
deposits and certain obligations of two branches of the failed Heartland Federal
Savings & Loan Association from the FDIC for $5.1 million.
On May 2, 1994, BOK Financial acquired Plaza National Bank, Bartlesville,
Oklahoma for $11.7 million.
On June 13, 1994, BOK Financial acquired Texas Commerce Trust Company - Sherman,
National Association, Sherman, Texas, a national association limited to trust
powers only, for $6.1 million.
3
On October 7, 1994, BOK Financial acquired Northwest Bank of Enid, Enid,
Oklahoma for $8.2 million.
On November 14, 1994, BOK Financial issued 1,380,017 common shares to acquire
Citizens Holding Company and its subsidiaries, Citizens Bank of Muskogee and
Citizens Bank of Northwest Arkansas, in a pooling-of-interests. Financial
information of BOK Financial for 1993 and 1992 has been restated to reflect this
acquisition.
On February 12, 1997, BOK Financial acquired Park Cities Bancshares, Inc. and
its subsidiary, First National Bank of Park Cities, in Dallas, Texas for $50.0
million.
On March 4, 1997, BOK Financial acquired First TexCorp., Inc. and its
subsidiary, First Texas Bank, in Dallas, Texas for $39.3 million.
Developments relating to individual aspects of the business of BOK Financial are
described under "Narrative Description of Business" and "Services Offered" on
pages 3 and 4 of this report. Additional discussion of BOK Financial's
activities during the current year is incorporated by reference to "Management's
Assessment of Operations and Financial Condition" (pages 6 - 18) in BOK
Financial's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders. Additional information regarding
BOK Financial's acquisitions is incorporated by reference to Note 2 of "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" (page 28 ) in BOK Financial's 1996 Annual
Report to Shareholders.
NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BOK Financial is a bank holding company, and as such, its activities are limited
by the BHCA to banking, certain bank-related services and activities, and
managing or controlling banks. BOK Financial's banking and bank-related
activities are primarily performed through BOk and CBNWA; nonbank subsidiary
operations are not significant. As of December 31, 1996, BOK Financial and its
subsidiaries had 2,102 full-time equivalent employees. Following is a
description of the more significant services offered by BOK Financial and the
competitive and regulatory environments in which it operates.
SERVICES OFFERED
COMMERCIAL BANKING SERVICES
BOK Financial, through BOk and CBNWA, provides a wide range of financial
services to commercial and industrial customers, including depository, lending
and other financial services such as cash management, leasing and international
collections. The loan portfolio is comprised primarily of real estate and
commercial loans. The commercial loan portfolio is diversified and distributed
among various commercial and industrial customers, including energy-related,
manufacturing, trade and service industries.
CORRESPONDENT BANKING SERVICES
BOK Financial provides a broad range of financial services to banks, savings and
loans, credit unions and other financial institutions in Oklahoma and
surrounding states. BOK Financial works closely with community financial
institutions, assisting them in satisfying the demands of their customers and
trade areas by engaging in loan participations and providing other financial
services.
CONSUMER BANKING SERVICES
At December 31, 1996, BOk had 65 banking locations, with 45 locations in the
Tulsa and Oklahoma City areas. CBNWA had 4 locations in northwest Arkansas.
Services offered include deposit accounts, installment loans, student loans,
bank card accounts, personal lines of credit, debit cards, an automated 24-hour
telephone loan application service, a 24-hour telephone branch and telephone and
personal computer based bill paying services New services planned for 1997
include interactive video kiosks for consumer lending and other transactions.
The BancOklahoma Investment Center makes available, through representatives in
most BOk branches, a full range of mutual funds, annuities and securities.
TransFund, BOk's network of automated teller machines, consists of 635 locations
across Oklahoma, Arkansas, southwest Missouri, northern Texas and southern
Kansas.
INVESTMENT AND MONEY MARKET ACTIVITIES
BOk provides securities brokerage, and trading services for corporations,
governmental units, individual customers and correspondent banks. Securities
include money market instruments, U.S. Government and municipal bonds, corporate
stocks and bonds, and mutual funds. The public finance department provides
bank-elegible underwriting financial advisory, private placement and
term-financing services for governmental and corporate entities. BOK Financial
recently announced its entrance into merchant banking which will provide a broad
range of financial services outside those traditionally associated with banking,
including financial advisory
4
services to both public and corporate sectors, leasing and mezzanine financing,
and underwriting of municipal revenue bonds, mortgage backed debt, consumer
receivables, and commercial paper.
MORTGAGE BANKING
BOMC, through its own locations as well as BOk's branch network, offered a full
array of mortgage options from federally sponsored programs to "jumbo loans" on
higher priced houses. BOMC is the largest originator of mortgage loans in
Oklahoma and has a servicing portfolio of approximately $5.9 billion, including
$243 million serviced for BOk. Effective January 1, 1997, these mortgage banking
activities were transferred to BOk.
TRUST AND ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES
BOk's trust subsidiaries (BancOklahoma Trust Company ("BOTC") in Oklahoma and
Alliance Trust Company N.A. in Texas) offer a variety of services to both
corporate and individual customers in Oklahoma and Texas. Individual financial
trust services include personal trust management, administration of estates and
management of individual investment and custodial accounts. For corporate
clients, the services include management, administration and recordkeeping of
pension plans, thrift plans, 401(k) plans and master trust plans, including a
state-of-the-art system for employee benefit plan recordkeeping. BOk's trust
division also serves as transfer agent and registrar for corporate securities,
paying agent for municipalities and governmental agencies and indenture trustee
of bond issues. BOTC serves as an investment advisor to the American Performance
Funds, a family of proprietary mutual funds distributed by the Winsbury Company
of Columbus, Ohio. At December 31, 1996, trust subsidiaries were responsible for
approximately $7.5 billion in assets. Effective March 22, 1997, BOTC was merged
into BOk.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
BOK Financial does not engage in operations in foreign countries, nor does it
lend to foreign governments.
COMPETITION
The banking industry in Oklahoma is highly competitive. BOK Financial competes
with other banks in obtaining deposits, making loans and providing additional
services related to banking. There are approximately 332 banks located in
Oklahoma, of which approximately 38 are located in the Tulsa County and
surrounding metropolitan area and approximately 55 are located in the Oklahoma
County and surrounding metropolitan area. BOK Financial is also in competition
with other businesses engaged in extending credit or accepting deposits, such as
major retail establishments, major brokerage firms, savings and loan
associations, credit unions, finance companies, small loan companies, insurance
companies and loan production offices of major banks located within and outside
Oklahoma.
Limited branch banking as permitted in Oklahoma is increasing competition.
Generally, a bank may establish two new branch offices within the town or city
where the bank is located or in nearby areas not already served by a bank or
branch, and may acquire an unlimited number of existing banks and convert them
and their branches into branch offices. Within its primary markets, BOk has 23
locations in the Tulsa area and 22 locations in the Oklahoma City area, the
state's largest financial markets. Subject to regulatory approval, BOk is
considering various locations for additional facilities. Like BOk, other banks
are taking advantage of the bank branching laws to establish additional
facilities. These additional banking offices are further increasing competition.
Limited branch banking is, on the other hand, permitting banks to compete more
effectively with savings and loan associations, credit unions and other
financial institutions that may establish offices more freely than banks, some
of which are not subject to comparable regulatory restrictions on their
activities.
Oklahoma also permits the acquisition of an unlimited number of wholly-owned
bank subsidiaries so long as aggregate deposits at the time of acquisition in a
multibank holding company do not exceed 12.25% of all deposits in Oklahoma
financial institutions insured by the federal government, exclusive of credit
union deposits. Based on the latest statistical data available (as of June 30,
1996), BOK Financial could acquire additional bank subsidiaries so long as the
aggregate deposits of all Oklahoma subsidiaries do not exceed approximately $4.1
billion. Deposits of BOk were $3.1 billion and $3.2 billion at June 30, and
December 31, 1996, respectively.
Oklahoma also permits out-of-state bank holding companies to acquire banks and
bank holding companies located in the state and, subject to certain limitations,
make additional acquisitions within the state. During the last few years the
Oklahoma banking industry has been consolidated into fewer but larger banks. In
1996, two "super-regional" holding companies announced significant acquisitions
in Oklahoma. The consolidation over the past several years has brought about a
highly competitive environment, in which many customers have access to national
and regional financial institutions for many products and services.
5
On September 29, 1994, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 ("Riegle-Neal") was signed into law. In summary,
commencing one year after passage, qualifying bank holding companies will be
permitted to acquire banks in any state. As of June 1, 1997, qualifying banks
may be able to engage in interstate branching by merging banks in different
states. States " opt-out" of interstate branching by enacting specific
legislation prior to June 1, 1997, in which case out-of-state banks would
generally not be able to branch into that state, and banks headquartered in that
state would not be permitted to branch into other states. States may also opt
into interstate branching earlier than 1997 with specific legislation. The law
imposes a 10% nationwide deposit cap and a 30% state deposit cap; however, the
states' authority is preserved to impose a lower, nondiscriminatory deposit cap.
Oklahoma elected to "opt-in" to interstate branching effective May 1997 and
established a 12.25% deposit cap. It is anticipated that the total number of
Oklahoma banks may decrease and national and regional bank presence in the state
may increase. Over the near-term, these changes are expected to increase
competition with a greater number of products and services available to Oklahoma
customers. Over the long-term, the number of competitors could decrease,
depending on the extent of consolidations nationwide, but competition could
continue to increase as a result of the remaining institutions needing to be
stronger, more innovative and more aggressive to retain a significant presence
in a consolidated environment.
Additional legislation, judicial and administrative decisions also may affect
the ability of banks to compete with each other as well as with other
businesses. These statutes and decisions may tend to make the operations of
various financial institutions more similar and increase competition among banks
and other financial institutions or limit the ability of banks to compete with
other businesses. Management currently cannot predict whether and, if so, when
any such changes might occur or the impact any such changes would have upon the
income or operations of BOK Financial or its subsidiaries, or upon the Oklahoma
regional banking environment.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both federal
and state law. The following information, to the extent it describes statutory
or regulatory provisions, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
particular statutory and regulatory provisions. It is not possible to predict
the changes, if any, that may be made to existing banking laws and regulations
or whether such changes, if made, would have a materially adverse effect on the
business and prospects of BOK Financial, BOk and CBNWA.
BOK FINANCIAL
As a bank holding company, BOK Financial is subject to regulation under the BHCA
and to supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the
"Reserve Board"). Under the BHCA, BOK Financial is required to file with the
Reserve Board an annual report and such other additional information as the
Reserve Board may require. The Reserve Board may also make examinations of BOK
Financial and its subsidiaries.
The BHCA requires the prior approval of the Reserve Board in any case where a
bank holding company proposes to acquire control of more than five percent of
the voting shares of any bank, unless it already controls a majority of such
voting shares. Additionally, approval must also be obtained before a bank
holding company may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of another
bank or before it may merge or consolidate with another bank holding company.
The BHCA further provides that the Reserve Board shall not approve any such
acquisition, merger or consolidation that will substantially lessen competition,
tend to create a monopoly or be in restraint of trade, unless it finds the
anti-competitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed in
the public interest by the probable effect of the transaction in meeting the
convenience and needs of the community to be served.
The BHCA presently prohibits the Reserve Board from approving an application
from a bank holding company to acquire shares of a bank located outside the
state in which the operations of the holding company's banking subsidiaries are
principally conducted, unless such an acquisition is specifically authorized by
statute of the state in which the bank whose shares are to be acquired is
located, but Riegle-Neal permits interstate banking as of September 29, 1995, as
discussed above in "Competition".
The BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company, with certain exceptions, from
acquiring more than five percent of the voting shares of any company that is not
a bank and from engaging in any business other than banking or managing or
controlling banks. Under the BHCA, the Reserve Board is authorized to approve
the ownership of shares by a bank holding company in any company whose
activities the Reserve Board has determined to be so closely related to banking
or to managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In
making such determinations, the Reserve Board weighs the Community Reinvestment
Act activities of the bank holding company and the expected benefit to the
public, such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in
efficiency, against the possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of
resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound
banking practices. The Reserve Board has by regulation determined that certain
activities are closely related to banking within the meaning of the BHCA. These
activities include operating a mortgage company, finance company, credit card
company
6
or factoring company; performing certain data processing operations; servicing
loans and other extensions of credit; providing investment and financial advice;
acting as an insurance agent for certain types of credit-related insurance;
owning and operating savings and loan associations; and leasing personal
property on a full-payout, nonoperating basis.
A bank holding and its subsidiaries are further prohibited under the BHCA from
engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with the provision of any
credit, property or services. Thus, a subsidiary of a bank holding company may
not extend credit, lease or sell property, furnish any services or fix or vary
the consideration for these activities on the condition that (1) the customer
obtain or provide some additional credit, property or services from or to the
bank holding company or any subsidiary thereof or (2) the customer may not
obtain some other credit, property or services from a competitor, except to the
extent reasonable conditions are imposed to insure the soundness of credit
extended.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 established
five capital rating tiers ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically
undercapitalized". A financial institution is considered to be well capitalized
if its Leverage, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios are at 5%, 6% and 10%,
respectively. Any institution experiencing significant growth or acquiring other
institutions or branches is expected to maintain capital ratios above the well
capitalized level. At December 31, 1996, BOK Financial's Leverage, Tier 1 and
Total Capital ratios were 7.46%, 10.49% and 11.74%, respectively.
BOK AND CBNWA
BOk and CBNWA are national banking associations and are subject to the National
Banking Act and other federal statutes governing national banks. Under federal
law, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("Comptroller") charters,
regulates and serves as the primary regulator of national banks. In addition,
the Comptroller must approve certain corporate or structural changes, including
an increase or decrease in capitalization, payment of dividends, change of place
of business, establishment of a branch and establishment of an operating
subsidiary. The Comptroller performs its functions through national bank
examiners who provide the Comptroller with information concerning the soundness
of a national bank, the quality of management and directors, and compliance with
applicable laws, rules and regulations. The National Banking Act authorizes the
Comptroller to examine every national bank as often as necessary. Although the
Comptroller has primary supervisory responsibility for national banks, such
banks must also comply with Reserve Board rules and regulations as members of
the Federal Reserve System.
CBNWA is also subject to certain consumer-protection laws incorporated in the
Arkansas Constitution, which, among other restrictions, limit the maximum
interest rate on general loans to five percent above the Federal Reserve
Discount Rate. The rate on consumer loans is five percent above the discount
rate or seventeen percent, whichever is lower.
BOk and CBNWA are insured by the FDIC and are required to pay certain fees and
premiums to the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"). The BIF has implemented a
risk-related insurance system for determining premiums to be paid by a bank.
Each bank is placed in one of nine risk categories based on its level of capital
and supervisory rating with the well-capitalized banks with the highest
supervisory rating paying a premium of 0.00% of deposits and the critically
undercapitalized banks paying up to 0.27% of deposits. Also, approximately 21%
of BOK Financial's total deposits at December 31, 1996 were acquired through
Oakar transactions and are insured through the Savings Association Insurance
Fund ("SAIF"). The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 was enacted on September
30, 1996, which recapitalized the SAIF and implemented a risk-related insurance
system identical to the BIF system discussed above. In addition, the Deposit
Insurance Fund Act of 1996 implemented an additional assessment on BIF and SAIF
deposits, the Financing Corporation ("FICO") Quarterly Payment, which is not
tied to the BIF risk classification. The FICO BIF annual rate is 1.296 basis
points and the FICO SAIF annual rate is 6.48 basis points.
Applicable federal statutes and regulations require national banks to meet
certain leverage and risk-based capital requirements. At December 31, 1996,
BOk's and CBNWA's leverage and risk-based capital ratios were well above the
required minimum ratios.
7
GOVERNMENTAL POLICIES AND ECONOMIC FACTORS
The operations of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries are affected by legislative
changes and by the policies of various regulatory authorities and, in
particular, the credit policies of the Reserve Board. An important function of
the Reserve Board is to regulate the national supply of bank credit. Among the
instruments of monetary policy used by the Reserve Board to implement its
objectives are: open market operations in U.S. Government securities; changes in
the discount rate on bank borrowings; and changes in reserve requirements on
bank deposits. The effect of such policies in the future on the business and
earnings of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted with
certainty.
The Oklahoma economy, BOK Financial's primary market, continues to generate job
growth. Certain economic indicators show that employment growth within the state
has now exceeded U.S. employment growth for fifteen consecutive months, although
wage and salary growth in Oklahoma only slightly exceeded the growth rate
observed nationally. With Oklahoma's economy tied more closely with the national
economy than in the past, a downturn in the national economy could have an
adverse impact on BOK Financial's financial position and results of operations.
ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES
BOK Financial, through BOk, BOk's subsidiaries and CBNWA, owns improved real
estate that was carried at $31.0 million, net of depreciation and amortization,
as of December 31, 1996. BOK Financial conducts its operations through a total
of 65 banking and 4 nonbanking locations in Oklahoma, 4 banking locations in
Arkansas and 2 nonbanking locations in Texas as of December 31, 1996. BOk's
facilities are suitable for their respective uses and present needs.
