BUSINESS General Developments relating to individual aspects of the business of BOK Financial Corporation ("BOK Financial" or "the Company") are described below. Additional discussion of the Company's activities during the current year is incorporated by reference to the "Management's Assessment of Operations and Financial Condition" section of BOK Financial's 2003 Annual Report to Shareholders (the "2003 Annual Report"). Information regarding BOK Financial's acquisitions is incorporated by reference to Note 2 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" within the 2003 Annual Report. Description of Business BOK Financial is a financial holding company whose activities are limited by the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 ("BHCA"), as amended by the Financial Services Modernization Act or Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. BOK Financial offers full service banking in Oklahoma, Dallas and Houston, Texas, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Northwest Arkansas, and Denver, Colorado. Principal subsidiaries are Bank of Oklahoma, N.A. ("BOk"), Bank of Texas, N.A., Bank of Albuquerque, N.A., Bank of Arkansas, N.A. and Colorado State Bank and Trust, N.A. (collectively, the "Banks"). Other subsidiaries include BOSC, Inc., a broker/dealer that engages in retail and institutional securities sales and municipal bond underwriting. Other non-bank subsidiary operations are not significant. BOK Financial's corporate headquarters is located at Bank of Oklahoma Tower, P.O. Box 2300, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74192. The Company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports are available on the Company's website at www.bokf.com as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such material with or furnishes it to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating Segments BOK Financial operates four principal lines of business under its BOk franchise: corporate banking, consumer banking, mortgage banking and wealth management. It also operates a fifth principal line of business, regional banks, which includes all banking functions for Bank of Texas, N.A., Bank of Albuquerque, N.A., Bank of Arkansas, N.A., and Colorado State Bank and Trust, N.A. These five principal lines of business combined account for approximately 94% of total revenue. Discussion of these principal lines of business is incorporated by reference to the Lines of Business section within "Management's Assessment of Operations and Financial Condition" within the 2003 Annual Report and to Note 17 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" within the 2003 Annual Report. Competition BOK Financial and its operating segments (corporate banking, consumer banking, mortgage banking, wealth management and regional banks) face competition from other banks, thrifts, credit unions and other non-bank financial institutions, such as investment banking firms, investment advisory firms, brokerage firms, investment companies, government agencies, mortgage brokers and insurance companies. The Company competes largely on the basis of customer services, interest rates on loans and deposits, lending limits and customer convenience. Some operating segments face competition from institutions that are not as closely regulated as banks, and therefore are not limited by the same capital requirements and other restrictions. All market share information presented below is based upon share of deposits in specified areas according to SNL DataSource. BOk is the largest banking subsidiary of BOK Financial and has the largest market share in Oklahoma with 13% of the state's total deposits. In the Tulsa and Oklahoma City areas, BOk has 32% and 10% of the market share, respectively. BOk competes with two banks that have operations nationwide and have greater access to funds at lower costs. BOk also competes with several regional and many locally owned banks in both the Tulsa and Oklahoma City areas, as well as in every other community in which we do business throughout the state. Through subsidiary banks, BOK Financial competes in the Dallas-Fort Worth combined metropolitan area and in the Houston area of Texas, in the Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Denver, Colorado, markets, and in Northwest Arkansas. Bank of Texas competes against numerous financial institutions, including some of the largest in the United States, and has a market share of approximately 2% and 1% in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas, respectively. Bank of Albuquerque has a number three market share position with 11% of deposits in the Albuquerque area and competes with two large national banks, some regional banks and several locally-owned smaller community banks. Colorado State Bank and Trust has a market share of approximately 1% in the Denver area. Bank of Arkansas operates as a community bank serving Benton and Washington counties in Arkansas. The Company's ability to expand into additional states remains subject to various federal and state laws. Employees As of December 31, 2003, BOK Financial and its subsidiaries employed 3,449 full-time equivalent employees. None of the Company's employees are represented by collective bargaining agreements. Management considers its employee relations to be good. 4 Supervision and Regulation BOK Financial and its subsidiaries are subject to extensive regulations under federal and state laws. These regulations are designed to protect depositors, the Bank Insurance Fund and the banking system as a whole and not necessarily to protect shareholders and creditors. As detailed below, these regulations may restrict the Company's ability to diversify, to acquire other institutions and to pay dividends on its capital stock. They also may require the Company to provide financial support to its subsidiaries, maintain certain capital balances and pay higher deposit insurance premiums. Proposals to change laws and regulations governing the banking industry are frequently introduced in Congress, in the state legislatures and before bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood and timing of any new proposals or legislation and the impact they might have on the Company and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted at this time. The following information, to the extent it describes statutory or regulatory provisions, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the statutes and regulations that are described. General As a financial holding company, BOK Financial is regulated under the BHCA and is subject to regular inspection, examination and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). Under the BHCA, BOK Financial files quarterly reports and other information with the Federal Reserve Board. The Banks are organized as national banking associations under the National Banking Act, and are subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), the Federal Reserve Board and other federal and state regulatory agencies. The OCC has primary supervisory responsibility for national banks and must approve certain corporate or structural changes, including changes in capitalization, payment of dividends, change of place of business, and establishment of a branch or operating subsidiary. The OCC performs its functions through national bank examiners who provide the OCC with information concerning the soundness of a national bank, the quality of management and directors, and compliance with applicable regulations. The National Banking Act authorizes the OCC to examine every national bank as often as necessary. A financial holding company, and the companies under its control, are permitted to engage in activities considered "financial in nature" as defined by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and Federal Reserve Board interpretations, and therefore may engage in a broader range of activities than permitted for bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Activities that are "financial in nature" include securities underwriting and dealing, insurance underwriting, operating a mortgage company, credit card company or factoring company, performing certain data processing operations, servicing loans and other extensions of credit, providing investment and financial advice, owning and operating savings and loan associations, and leasing personal property on a full pay-out, non-operating basis. In order for a financial holding company to commence any new activity permitted by the BHCA, each insured depository institution subsidiary of the financial holding company must have received a rating of at least satisfactory in its most recent examination under the Community Reinvestment Act. A financial holding company is required to notify the Federal Reserve Board within thirty days of engaging in new activities determined to be "financial in nature." BOK Financial is engaged in some of these activities and has notified the Federal Reserve Board. The BHCA requires the Federal Reserve Board's prior approval for the direct or indirect acquisition of more than five percent of any class of voting stock of any non-affiliated bank. Under the Federal Bank Merger Act, the prior approval of the OCC is required for a national bank to merge with another bank or purchase the assets or assume the deposits of another bank. In reviewing applications seeking approval of merger and acquisition transactions, the bank regulatory authorities consider, among other things, the competitive effect and public benefits of the transactions, the capital position of the combined organization, the applicant's performance record under the Community Reinvestment Act and fair housing laws and the effectiveness of the subject organizations in combating money laundering activities. A financial holding company and its subsidiaries are 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 financial 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 additional credit, property or services from or to the financial 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 Banks and other non-bank subsidiaries are also subject to other federal and state laws and regulations. For example, BOSC, Inc., the Company's broker/dealer subsidiary that engages in retail and institutional securities sales and municipal bond underwriting, is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Federal Reserve Board, the National Futures Association and state securities regulators. As another example, Bank of Arkansas is 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 and limit the rate on consumer loans to the lower of five percent above the discount rate or seventeen percent. 5 Capital Adequacy and Prompt Corrective Action The Federal Reserve Board, the OCC and the FDIC have issued substantially similar risk-based and leverage capital guidelines applicable to United States banking organizations to ensure capital adequacy based upon the risk levels of assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments. In addition, these regulatory agencies may from time to time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum levels, whether because of its financial condition or actual or anticipated growth. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators regarding components, risk weighting and other factors. The Federal Reserve Board risk-based guidelines define a three-tier capital framework. Core capital (Tier 1) includes common shareholders' equity and qualifying preferred stock, less goodwill, most intangible assets and other adjustments. Supplementary capital (Tier 2) consists of preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1 capital, qualifying mandatory convertible debt securities, limited amounts of subordinated debt, other qualifying term debt and allowances for credit losses, subject to limitations. Market risk capital (Tier 3) includes qualifying unsecured subordinated debt. Assets and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to one of four categories of risk-weights, based primarily upon relative credit risk. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1 and total capital by risk-weighted assets. For a depository institution to be considered well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the institution's Tier 1 and total capital ratios must be at least 6% and 10% on a risk-adjusted basis, respectively. As of December 31, 2003, BOK Financial's Tier 1 and total capital ratios under these guidelines were 9.15% and 11.31%, respectively. The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted average total assets. Banking organizations are required to maintain a ratio of at least 5% to be classified as well capitalized. BOK Financial's leverage ratio at December 31, 2003 was 7.17%. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the "FDICIA"), among other things, identifies five capital categories for insured depository institutions from well capitalized to critically undercapitalized and requires the respective federal regulatory agencies to implement systems for prompt corrective action for institutions failing to meet minimum capital requirements within such categories. FDICIA imposes progressively more restrictive covenants on operations, management and capital distributions, depending upon the category in which an institution is classified. The various regulatory agencies have adopted substantially similar regulations that define the five capital categories identified by FDICIA, using the total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and leverage capital ratios as the relevant capital measures. Such regulations establish various degrees of corrective action to be taken when an institution is considered undercapitalized. Under these guidelines, each of the Banks was considered well capitalized as of December 31, 2003. The federal regulatory authorities' risk-based capital guidelines are based upon the 1988 capital accord of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the "BCBS"). The BCBS is a committee of central banks and bank regulators from the major industrialized countries that develops broad policy guidelines for use by each country's supervisors in determining the supervisory policies they apply. In January 2001, the BCBS released a proposal to replace the 1988 capital accord with a new capital accord that would set capital requirements for operational risk and refine the existing capital requirements for credit risk and market risk exposures. The new capital framework would consist of minimum capital requirements, a supervisory review process and the effective use of market discipline. The BCBS set out options from which banks could choose depending upon the complexity of their business and the quality of their risk management. One approach is the standard approach which would refine the current measurement framework and introduce the use of external credit assessments to determine a bank's capital charge. Banks with more advanced risk management capabilities could make use of an internal risk-rating based approach. The BCBS has also proposed an explicit capital charge for operational risk to provide for losses resulting from failed internal processes, people, and systems. The supervisory review aspect of the new framework would seek to ensure that a bank's capital position is consistent with its overall risk profile and strategy. The third aspect of the new framework, market discipline, would call for detailed disclosure of a bank's capital adequacy in order to encourage high disclosure standards and to enhance the role of market participants in encouraging banks to hold adequate capital. The BCBS has stated that its objective is to finalize a new capital accord by mid-year 2004 and for member countries to implement the accord by the end of 2006. The ultimate timing for a new accord, and the specifics of capital assessments for addressing operational risk, are uncertain. However, it is possible that a new capital accord addressing operational risk will eventually be adopted by the BCBS and implemented by the United States federal bank regulatory authorities. The new capital requirements that may arise from a new BCBS capital accord could increase minimum capital requirements applicable to BOK Financial and its subsidiaries. Further discussion of regulatory capital, including regulatory capital amounts and ratios, is incorporated by reference to information set forth under the caption "Borrowings and Capital" within the Management's Assessment of Operations and Financial Condition section and Note 15 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of the 2003 Annual Report. 6 Dividends The primary source of liquidity for BOK Financial is dividends from the Banks, which are limited by various banking regulations to net profits, as defined, for the year plus retained profits for the preceding two years and further restricted by minimum capital requirements. Based on the most restrictive limitations, the Banks had excess regulatory capital and could declare up to $121 million of dividends without regulatory approval as of December 31, 2003. BOK Financial management has developed and the Board of Directors has approved an internal capital policy that is more restrictive than the regulatory standards. Under this policy, the Banks could declare dividends of up to $71 million as of December 31, 2003. These amounts are not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available to be paid in future periods. Source of Strength Doctrine According to Federal Reserve Board policy, bank holding companies are expected to act as a source of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support each such subsidiary. This support may be required at times when a bank holding company may not be able to provide such support. Similarly, under the cross-guarantee provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, in the event of a loss suffered by the FDIC as a result of default of a banking subsidiary or related to FDIC assistance provided to a subsidiary in danger of default, the other Banks may be assessed for the FDIC's loss, subject to certain exceptions. 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 Federal Reserve Board. An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national supply of bank credit to moderate recessions and curb inflation. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve Board to implement its objectives are: open-market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rate and federal funds rate on bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements on bank deposits. The effect of future changes in such policies on the business and earnings of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries is uncertain. In 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (the "Act") was signed into law to address many aspects of financial accounting, corporate governance and public company disclosure. Among other things, the Act establishes a comprehensive framework for the oversight of public company auditing and for strengthening the independence of auditors and audit committees. Under the Act, audit committees are responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the auditors. The non-audit services that can be provided to a company by its auditor are limited. Audit committee members are subject to specific rules addressing their independence. The Act also requires enhanced and accelerated financial disclosures, and it establishes various responsibility measures, such as requiring the chief executive officer and chief financial officer to certify to the quality of the company's financial reporting. The Act imposes restrictions on and accelerated reporting requirements for certain insider trading activities. It imposes a variety of penalties for fraud and other violations and creates a federal felony for securities fraud. Various sections of the Act are applicable to BOK Financial. Portions of the Act were effective immediately; others became effective or are in process of becoming effective through rulings by the SEC, based on timelines set forth in the law. Foreign Operations BOK Financial does not engage in operations in foreign countries, nor does it lend to foreign governments. ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES As of December 31, 2003, the Company's principal offices are located in the Bank of Oklahoma Tower in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. BOK Financial and its subsidiaries own and lease improved real estate that was carried at $122 million, net of depreciation and amortization, as of December 31, 2003. BOK Financial conducts its operations through 74 locations in Oklahoma, 36 locations in Texas, 21 locations in New Mexico, 5 locations in Arkansas and 4 locations in Colorado as of December 31, 2003. The Company's facilities are suitable for their respective uses and present needs.
