PARK NATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared for Park National Corporation (sometimes also referred to as the “Registrant”) and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Park", the "Corporation" or the "Company" and similar terms mean Park National Corporation and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed balance sheets, condensed statements of income, condensed statements of comprehensive income, condensed statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Park for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 from Park’s 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders (“2012 Annual Report”).
 
Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2012 Annual Report. For interim reporting purposes, Park follows the same basic accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, and considers each interim period an integral part of an annual period. Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date, determining no events require additional disclosure in these consolidated condensed financial statements.
 
Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:

No. 2012-02 Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment: In July 2012, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (ASU 2012-02). The ASU allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
 
No. 2013-02 Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income: In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The ASU requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. The new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the new guidance on January 1, 2013 impacted the other comprehensive income (loss) disclosures in Note 17.

Note 3 – Sale of Vision Bank Business
 
On February 16, 2012, Park and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vision Bank (“Vision”), a Florida state-chartered bank, completed their sale of substantially all of the performing loans, operating assets and liabilities associated with Vision to Centennial Bank (“Centennial”), an Arkansas state-chartered bank which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home BancShares, Inc. (“Home”), an Arkansas corporation, as contemplated by the previously announced Purchase and Assumption Agreement by and between Park, Vision, Home and Centennial, dated as of November 16, 2011, as amended by the First Amendment to Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2012, and the Second Amendment to Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2012 (collectively, the “Vision Agreement”) for a purchase price of $27.9 million.
 
Subsequent to the transactions contemplated by the Vision Agreement, Vision was left with approximately $22 million of performing loans (including mortgage loans held for sale) and non-performing loans with a fair value of $88 million. Park recorded a pre-tax gain, net of expenses directly related to the sale, of approximately $22.2 million, resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Vision Agreement. The pre-tax gain, net of expense is summarized in the table below:

Employment and severance agreements

)
Pre-tax gain
$
22,167

 
Promptly following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Vision Agreement, Vision surrendered its Florida banking charter to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and became a non-bank Florida corporation (the “Florida Corporation”). The Florida Corporation merged with and into a wholly-owned, non-bank subsidiary of Park, SE Property Holdings, LLC (“SEPH”), with SEPH being the surviving entity.

As part of the transaction between Vision and Centennial, Park agreed to allow Centennial to “put back” up to $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of loans, which were originally included within the loans sold in the transaction. The loan put option expired on August 16, 2012, 180 days after the closing of the transaction, which was February 16, 2012. Prior to August 16, 2012, Centennial notified Park of its intent to put back approximately $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of loans. During 2012, Centennial put back forty-four loans, totaling approximately $7.5 million. These forty-four loans were recorded on the books at a fair value of $4.2 million. The difference of $3.3 million was written off against the loan put liability that had previously been established in the first half of 2012.

The core deposit intangibles are being amortized to expense principally on the straight-line method, over a period of six years. Management expects that the core deposit intangibles amortization expense will be approximately $113,000 for the second and third quarters of 2013. Following the third quarter of 2013, there will be no remaining intangible asset subject to amortization.

Table of Contents

Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral. At both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $96.9 million of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment with no related allowance recorded and $6.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment that also had a specific reserve allocated.
 
The allowance for loan losses included specific reserves of $8.3 million related to loans individually evaluated for impairment at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. These loans with specific reserves had a recorded investment of $27.1 million and $28.8 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
 
Interest income on loans individually evaluated for impairment is recognized on a cash basis. The following table presents the average recorded investment and interest income recognized on loans individually evaluated for impairment as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012:

Credit Quality Indicators
 
Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. Past due information as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is included in the tables above. The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classes of loans: (1) mortgage loans and installment loans in the construction real estate segment; (2) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate segment; and (3) consumer loans. The primary credit indicator for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades all commercial loans from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the respective loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 4.5 (pass-rated) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that require management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are included within the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management determines the borrower's ability to perform in accordance with the contractual loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)
 
Management classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and Park has granted a concession to the borrower as part of a modification or in the loan renewal process. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of the borrower's debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Management’s policy is to modify loans by extending the term or by granting a temporary or permanent contractual interest rate below the market rate, not by forgiving debt. Certain loans which were modified during the period ended March 31, 2013 did not meet the definition of a TDR as the modification was a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant. Management considers a forbearance period of up to three months or a delay in payment of up to 30 days to be insignificant. TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.
 
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $84.3 million and $84.7 million, respectively, of TDRs included in nonaccrual loan totals. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $54.8 million and $52.6 million of these nonaccrual TDRs were performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $24.4 million and $29.9 million, respectively, of TDRs included in accruing loan totals. Management will continue to review the restructured loans and may determine it appropriate to move certain of the loans back to accrual status in the future.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Park had commitments to lend $4.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers whose terms had been modified in a TDR.
 
The specific reserve related to TDRs at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $5.6 million. Modifications made in 2012 and 2013 were largely the result of renewals, extending the maturity date of the loan, at terms consistent with the original note. These modifications were deemed to be TDRs primarily due to Park’s conclusion that the borrower would likely not have qualified for similar terms through another lender. Many of the modifications deemed to be TDRs were previously identified as impaired loans, and thus were also previously evaluated for impairment under ASC 310.  Additional specific reserves of $238,000 and $252,000 were recorded during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, as a result of TDRs identified in the respective year.
 
The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. Modified substandard commercial loans which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment as of March 31, 2013 of $0.8 million. The modification of these loans: (1) involved a modification of the terms of a loan to a borrower who was not experiencing financial difficulties, (2) resulted in a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant, or (3) resulted in Park obtaining additional collateral or guarantees that improved the likelihood of the ultimate collection of the loan such that the modification was deemed to be at market terms.  Modified consumer loans which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment as of March 31, 2013 of $6.6 million. Many of these loans were to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties but who were looking to reduce their cost of funds.

The following tables detail the number of contracts modified as TDRs during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, as well as the recorded investment of these contracts at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. The recorded investment pre- and post-modification is generally the same.

Of those loans listed in the tables above which were modified during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, $0.3 million were on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2012, but were not classified as TDRs. Of those loans which were modified during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, $6.2 million were on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2011, but were not classified as TDRs.
 
The following table presents the recorded investment in financing receivables which were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months and for which there was a payment default during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. For this table, a loan is considered to be in default when it becomes 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. The additional allowance for loan loss resulting from the defaults on TDR loans was immaterial.

Note 6 – Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses is that amount management believes is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors as discussed within Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2012 Annual Report.
 
The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 is summarized below.

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all performing loans at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as well as nonperforming loans internally classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are not typically individually evaluated for impairment, but receive a portion of the statistical allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all impaired loans internally classified as commercial loans at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which are evaluated for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2012 Annual Report).

As of March 31, 2012, options to purchase 66,625 common shares were outstanding under Park’s 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan. All options had expired as of March 31, 2013. A warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was outstanding at March 31, 2012 as a result of Park’s participation in the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). Park repurchased the CPP warrant on May 2, 2012.
 
The common shares represented by the options totaling a weighted average of 73,683 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012, because the exercise price exceeded the market value of the underlying common shares such that their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares issued under the CPP was included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as the dilutive effect of this warrant was 11,835 common shares for this period. The exercise price of the CPP warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was $65.97. There were no dilutive options or warrants included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The operating results of the Parent Company in the “All Other” column are used to reconcile the segment totals to the consolidated condensed statements of income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The reconciling amounts for consolidated total assets for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the elimination of intersegment borrowings and the assets of the Parent Company which were not eliminated.
 
Note 9 – Mortgage Loans Held For Sale
 
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, Park had approximately $10.2 million and $25.7 million in mortgage loans held for sale. These amounts are included in loans on the consolidated condensed balance sheets and in the residential real estate loan segments in Notes 5 and 6. The contractual balance was $10.1 million and $25.2 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The gain expected upon sale was $147,000 and $568,000 at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. None of these loans were 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
 
Note 10 – Investment Securities

Management does not believe any of the unrealized losses at March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012 represent an other-than-temporary impairment. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized within net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entities asset-backed securities consist primarily of 15-year residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

Note 12 – Pension Plan
 
Park has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan provides benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.
 
Park’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes using a different actuarial cost method and different assumptions from those used for financial reporting purposes. Pension plan contributions were $12.6 million and $15.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As a result of the February 16, 2012 acquisition of certain Vision assets and liabilities by Centennial Bank, during the first quarter of 2012, it was necessary to re-measure pension plan assets and liabilities resulting in a reduction to the unrecognized net loss account, within Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss), of $412,000 (net of tax of $222,000).
 
Note 13 – Derivative Instruments
 
FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company records all derivatives on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
 
For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, with any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.
 
As of March 31, 2013, no derivatives were designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
 
As of March 31, 2013, Park had mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments outstanding of approximately $19.6 million. Park has specific contracts to sell each of these loans to a third-party investor. These loan commitments represent derivative instruments, which are required to be carried at fair value. The derivative instruments used are not designated as hedges under U.S. GAAP. At March 31, 2013, the fair value of the derivative instruments was approximately $251,000. The fair value of the derivative instruments is included within loans held for sale and the corresponding income is included within non-yield loan fee income. Gains and losses resulting from expected sales of mortgage loans are recognized when the respective loan contract is entered into between the borrower, Park, and the third-party investor. The fair value of Park’s mortgage interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) is based on current secondary market pricing.

In connection with the sale of Park’s Class B Visa shares during 2009, Park entered into a swap agreement with the purchaser of the shares. The swap agreement adjusts for dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B Visa shares resulting from certain Visa litigation. At March 31, 2013, the fair value of the swap liability of $135,000 was an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses and consideration of the Visa settlement agreement announced on July 13, 2012 to resolve the Federal Multi-District Interchange Litigation.
 
Note 14 – Loan Servicing
 
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1.40 billion at March 31, 2013, compared to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2012 and $1.30 billion at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, $14.6 million of the sold mortgage loans were sold with recourse compared to $22.6 million at March 31, 2012. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold with recourse. At March 31, 2013, management had established a $268,000 reserve to account for future loan repurchases.
 
When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value. Park selected the “amortization method” as permissible within GAAP, whereby the servicing rights capitalized are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing income of the underlying loan. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is assessed for impairment with a comparison to fair value. MSRs are carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value.

Note 15 – Fair Value
 
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.
Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting and similar inputs.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Park must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third-party appraisals or internal estimates of collateral values.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2013 or 2012. Management’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there are more or fewer unobservable inputs as of the end of the reporting period.

Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining fair value of the financial assets and liabilities discussed above:
 
Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The Fair Value Measurements tables exclude Park’s Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock. These assets are carried at their respective redemption values, as it is not practicable to calculate their fair values. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, which include municipal securities, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows.
 
Fair value swap: The fair value of the swap agreement entered into with the purchaser of the Visa Class B shares represents an internally developed estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.
 
Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs): IRLCs are based on current secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.
 
Mortgage loans held for sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using security prices for similar product types and, therefore, are classified in Level 2.
 
The table below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:
 
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis described below:
 
Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value have been partially charged-off or receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is generally based on real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Collateral is then adjusted

or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. Additionally, updated valuations are obtained annually for all impaired loans in accordance with Company policy.
 
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): Assets acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on recent real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
 
Appraisals for both collateral dependent impaired loans and OREO are performed by licensed appraisers. Appraisals are generally obtained to support the fair value of collateral. In general, there are two types of appraisals, real estate appraisals and lot development loan appraisals, received by the Company. These are discussed below:
 
Real estate appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent sales prices for comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments to the sales prices of the comparable properties as deemed appropriate based on the age, condition or general characteristics of the subject property. Management generally applies a 15% discount to real estate appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs). This 15% discount is based on historical discounts to appraised values on sold OREO properties.

Lot development loan appraisals are typically performed using a discounted cash flow analysis. Appraisers determine an anticipated absorption period and a discount rate that takes into account an investor’s required rate of return based on recent comparable sales. Management generally applies a 6% discount to lot development appraised values, which is an additional discount above the net present value calculation included in the appraisal, to account for selling costs.

MSRs: MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. MSRs do not trade in active, open markets with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs do occur, but precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. As such, management, with the assistance of a third-party specialist, determines fair value based on the discounted value of the future cash flows estimated to be received. Significant inputs include the discount rate and assumed prepayment speeds utilized. The calculated fair value is then compared to market values where possible to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation to current market expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are classified as Level 2.
 
The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Collateral dependent impaired loans are carried at fair value if they have been charged down to fair value or if a specific valuation allowance has been established. A new cost basis is established at the time a property is initially recorded in OREO. OREO properties are carried at fair value if a devaluation has been taken to the property's value subsequent to the initial measurement.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating its fair value disclosures for assets and liabilities not discussed above:
 
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.
 
Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.
 

35

Table of Contents

Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for the Corporation’s loan commitments and standby letters of credit are based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The carrying amount and fair value are not material.
 
Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings, and money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time deposits.
 
Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
 
Long-term debt: Fair values for long-term debt are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on long-term debt to a schedule of monthly maturities.
 
Subordinated debentures and notes: Fair values for subordinated debentures and notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rate spreads currently being offered on similar debt structures to a schedule of monthly maturities.
 
The fair value of financial instruments at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was as follows:

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. We have tried, whenever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation: Park's ability to execute its business plan successfully and within the expected timeframe; general economic and financial market conditions, and weakening in the economy, specifically the real estate market and the credit market, either nationally or in the states in which Park and its subsidiaries do business, may be worse than expected which could decrease the demand for loan, deposit and other financial services and increase loan delinquencies and defaults; deterioration in the asset value of Park's loan portfolio may be worse than expected due to a number of factors, such as adverse changes in economic conditions that impair the ability of borrowers to repay their loans, the underlying value of the collateral could prove less valuable than assumed and cash flows may be worse than expected; Park's ability to sell OREO properties at prices as favorable as anticipated; changes in interest rates and prices may adversely impact the value of securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the interest rate sensitivity of our consolidated balance sheet; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; changes in unemployment; asset/liability repricing risks and liquidity risks; our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes to regulations governing bank capital and liquidity standards as well as by changes in our assets and liabilities; competitive factors among financial service organizations increase significantly, including product and pricing pressures and our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified bank professionals; the nature, timing and effect of changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the respective businesses of Park and its subsidiaries, including changes in laws and regulations concerning taxes, accounting, banking, securities and other aspects of the financial services industry, specifically the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), as well as future regulations which will be adopted by the relevant regulatory agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to implement the Dodd-Frank Act’s provisions, the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory agencies, and the accuracy of our assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements; the effect of fiscal and governmental policies of the United States federal government; the costs and effects of regulatory and legal developments, including the outcome of potential regulatory or other governmental inquiries and legal proceedings and results of regulatory examinations; the adequacy of our risk management program; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks; demand for loans in the respective market areas served by Park and its subsidiaries; and other risk factors relating to the banking industry as detailed from time to time in Park’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Park does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions that may be made to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.
 

Critical Accounting Policies
 
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders (“the 2012 Annual Report”) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of Park’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of Park conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Park believes the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and of

39

Table of Contents

current economic conditions. However, this evaluation has subjective components requiring material estimates, including expected default probabilities, the loss given default, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, and estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgage loans based on historical loss experience and current economic conditions. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent that actual results differ from management estimates, additional loan loss provisions may be required that would adversely impact earnings in future periods. (Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses” section within this MD&A for additional discussion.)
 
Other real estate owned (“OREO”), property acquired through foreclosure, is recorded at estimated fair value less anticipated selling costs (net realizable value). If the net realizable value is below the carrying value of the loan on the date of transfer, the difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in value, OREO devaluations, are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount of OREO and are expensed within other income. Gains or losses not previously recognized, resulting from the sale of OREO, are recognized in other income on the date of sale. At March 31, 2013, OREO totaled $36.3 million, representing a 1.7% increase, compared to $35.7 million at December 31, 2012.
 
U.S. GAAP requires management to establish a fair value hierarchy, which has the objective of maximizing the use of observable market inputs. U.S. GAAP also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the inputs used to calculate fair value. These are classified as Level 1, 2, and 3. Level 3 inputs are those with significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the market for a particular instrument. Some of these inputs could be based on internal models and cash flow analysis. The large majority of Park’s assets whose fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs consist of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities. The fair value of these AFS securities is obtained largely through the use of matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the financial services industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Please see Note 15- Fair Value of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on fair value.
 
Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies. U.S. GAAP establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the impairment assessment of goodwill. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Park’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Park’s Ohio-based banking subsidiary, The Park National Bank (“PNB”) to provide quality, cost-effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base, the inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods or significant credit problems can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods. U.S. GAAP requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Park’s most recent evaluation was completed during the second quarter of 2012 and resulted in no impairment of goodwill. The fair value of the goodwill, which resides on the books of PNB, is estimated by reviewing the past and projected operating results for PNB, deposit and loan totals for PNB and banking industry comparable information. Please see Note 4 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on intangible assets.

Comparison of Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012
 
Summary Discussion of Results
 
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $20.7 million, compared to $31.5 million for the first quarter of 2012. Net income available to common shareholders was $20.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $30.0 million (which is net of preferred stock dividends and accretion) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Preferred stock dividends and the related accretion of the discount on the preferred stock, pertaining to the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Shares, Series A, each without par value and with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) issued to the U.S. Treasury on December 23, 2008, was $1.48 million for the first quarter in 2012. On April 25, 2012, Park repurchased the $100 million in Series A Preferred Shares issued to the U.S. Treasury as part of the Capital Purchase Program.

Net income and net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012 included a gain of $22.2 million ($14.4 million after-tax) from the sale of substantially all of the performing loans, operating assets and the liabilities of Vision Bank ("Vision"). Excluding the gain on sale of the Vision business, net income and net income available to common shareholders was $17.1 million and $15.6 million, respectively, for the period ended March 31, 2012.

Diluted earnings per common share were $1.34 for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $1.95 for the first quarter of 2012. Excluding the gain on sale of the Vision business in the first quarter of 2012, diluted earnings per common share were $1.01. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 15,411,990 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 15,417,745 diluted common shares for the first quarter of 2012.

The decline in the current projections of pre-tax, pre-provision income (from management's original projection) results from the continued low interest rate environment, resulting in lower than previously projected net interest income. Conversely, management currently projects that the provision for loan losses will be lower than originally projected as a result of positive credit experience at both PNB and SEPH through the first quarter of 2013. See detailed segment information below.

The “Park Parent Company” above excludes the results for SEPH, an entity which is winding down commensurate with the disposition of its problem assets. Management considers the “Ongoing operations” results to be reflective of the business of Park and its subsidiaries on a going forward basis. The discussion below provides additional information regarding the segments that make up the “Ongoing operations”, followed by additional information on SEPH.

Vision merged with and into SEPH, a non-bank subsidiary of Park, following the sale of the Vision business to Centennial Bank (“Centennial”) on February 16, 2012. As previously discussed, the sale of the Vision business in the first quarter of 2012 resulted in a pre-tax gain of $22.2 million ($14.4 million after-tax), which is included in the SEPH Q1 2012 and the 2012 fiscal year results presented in the table above. SEPH holds the remaining assets and liabilities retained by Vision subsequent to the sale. SEPH assets consist primarily of performing and nonperforming loans and OREO. This segment represents a run-off portfolio of the legacy Vision assets.

The Park National Bank (PNB)

Loan balances were largely stable in the first quarter of 2013, declining $727,000, or 0.02%. Loans outstanding at March 31, 2013 of $4.37 billion represented an increase of $165 million, or 3.93%, compared to the loans outstanding of $4.20 billion at March 31, 2012. The $165 million increase in loans experienced at PNB over the last twelve months is primarily related to continued growth in the 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage loan portfolio of approximately $52 million, growth in the consumer loan portfolio of approximately $45 million and increases in the commercial loan portfolio of approximately $70 million. As noted above, PNB's allowance for loan losses has declined by $4.5 million, or 7.85%, to $52.9 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $57.4 million at March 31, 2012. The decline in PNB's allowance for loan losses is due to continued improvement in the credit metrics across the PNB loan portfolio. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses” section below for additional information regarding the improvement in the credit metrics of PNB's loan portfolio.

Net Interest Income Comparison for the First Quarter of 2013 and 2012
 
Park’s principal source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between total interest income and total interest expense. Net interest income results from average balances outstanding for interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in conjunction with the average rates earned and paid on them. Net interest income decreased by $6.2 million, or 10.0%, to $55.5 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $61.7 million for the first quarter of 2012. The $6.2 million decrease was primarily due to the sale of the Vision business during the first quarter of 2012, as well as the continued low interest rate environment. Net interest income (expense) for SEPH/Vision for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $(655,000) and $2.6 million, respectively.
 
The following table compares the average balance and tax equivalent yield on interest earning assets and the average balance and cost of interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2013 with the same quarter in 2012.

(1) For purposes of the computation, nonaccrual loans and Vision loans held for sale through February 16, 2012 are included in the average balance. Vision loans sold to Centennial on February 16, 2012 totaled approximately $356 million.
(2) For purposes of the computation, interest bearing deposits held by Vision through February 16, 2012 are included in the average balance. Vision deposits assumed by Centennial on February 16, 2012 totaled approximately $523 million.
 
Average interest earning assets for the first quarter of 2013 decreased by $173 million or 2.7% to $6,125 million, compared to $6,298 million for the first quarter of 2012. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased by 40 basis points to 4.41% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 4.81% for the first quarter of 2012.
 
Average interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2013 decreased by $175 million or 3.5% to $4,856 million, compared to $5,031 million for the first quarter of 2012. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 15 basis points to 0.90% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 1.05% for the first quarter of 2012.
 
Interest Rates
 
Short-term interest rates continue to be extremely low. The average federal funds rate was 0.14% for the first quarter of 2013, after being 0.11% for the first quarter of 2012. Additionally, the ten-year treasury rate averaged 1.95% for the first quarter of 2013, and 2.02% for the first quarter of 2012.
 
In December 2008, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve lowered the targeted federal funds rate to a range of 0% to 0.25% in response to a severe recession in the U.S. economy. Economic conditions began to improve in the second half of 2009 and continued to improve modestly throughout 2010 and 2011. The modest economic recovery had continued during 2012, but uncertainty regarding the U.S. "fiscal cliff", overseas sovereign debt crisis and financial industry regulations continue to hold back any kind of meaningful recovery. The Federal Reserve implemented a third round of

quantitative easing during the third quarter of 2012 to further reduce long term interest rates and help support a still significantly distressed U.S. housing market. The annual average federal funds rate was 0.16% for 2009, 0.18% for 2010, 0.10% for 2011, and 0.15% for 2012.
 
Loans, Investments, Deposits and Borrowings
 
Average loan balances decreased by $47 million or 1.0% to $4,438 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $4,485 million for the first quarter of 2012. The decline in average loan balances is due to the inclusion, in the first quarter of 2012, of the Vision loans sold to Centennial on February 16, 2012. Period end loan balances as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 were $4,444 million and $4,324 million, respectively. The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased by 39 basis points to 5.13% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to 5.52% for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in the average yield on the loan portfolio was primarily due to interest rate changes associated with the variable rate portion of the loan portfolio and management's decision to continue to retain 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage loans on the balance sheet.
 
Park's total loans outstanding at March 31, 2013 were $4,444 million compared to $4,450 million at December 31, 2012, a decrease of $6 million, or an annualized 0.6%. Loan balances at Park's Ohio-based subsidiary, PNB, have remained relatively stable, decreasing by $1 million to $4,368 million at March 31, 2013 from $4,369 million at December 31, 2012.

The average balance of taxable investment securities decreased by $214 million, or 13.0%, to $1,426 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $1,640 million for the first quarter of 2012. The average yield on taxable investment securities declined by 42 basis points to 2.91% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 3.33% for the first quarter of 2012.
 
The average balance of tax exempt investment securities decreased by $2.5 million, or 62.5%, to $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2012. The tax equivalent yield on tax exempt investment securities was 7.15% for the first quarter of 2013 and 7.05% for the first quarter of 2012. Park has not purchased any tax exempt investment securities for the past several quarters.
 
The average balance of money market instruments increased by $90.8 million to $259.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $168.9 million for the first quarter of 2012. The average yield on money market instruments was 0.25% for both periods.
 
The amortized cost of total investment securities was $1,341 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $1,567 million at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, the tax equivalent yield on Park’s investment portfolio was 2.62% and the remaining average life was estimated to be 3.8 years.
 
Average interest bearing deposit accounts decreased by $143 million or 3.7% to $3,748 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $3,891 million for the first quarter of 2012. The decline in deposit balances compared to prior year was due to the assumption of Vision deposits by Centennial on February 16, 2012 of approximately $523 million. The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased by 17 basis points to 0.39% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 0.56% for the first quarter last year.
 
Average total borrowings were $1,108 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1,139 million for the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of $31 million or 2.7%. The average interest rate paid on total borrowings was 2.62% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 2.73% for the first quarter of 2012.
 
Net interest spread (the difference between the tax equivalent yield on interest earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities) decreased by 25 basis points to 3.51% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 3.76% for the first quarter last year. Net interest margin (the annualized tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) declined by 27 basis points to 3.70% for the first quarter of 2013, compared to 3.97% for the first quarter of 2012.

A primary financial goal for Park is to increase the amount of quality loans on its balance sheet. Management emphasizes the importance of growing quality loans on an ongoing basis to its retail and commercial lenders. The average balance of loans for the first three months of 2013 was $4,438 million, compared to $4,411 million for all of 2012.
 
Management actively manages the investment portfolio. The average balance of investment securities may increase as a result of attractive investment opportunities. Likewise, the average balance of investment securities may decrease if management sells investment securities or chooses not to reinvest the cash flow from maturities or investment repayments.

The loan portfolio for Park provides a higher yield than the yield on investment securities. As stated previously, a primary financial objective of Park is to grow quality loans. Park’s net interest income and net interest margin would increase if Park were able to increase its loan portfolio with quality loans. Park has strong liquidity and would be able to easily fund a significant increase in its loan portfolio.

Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses
 
The provision for loan losses for Park was $329,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $8.3 million for the same period in 2012. Net loan charge-offs for Park were $551,000 for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $17.0 million for the first quarter of 2012. Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 2012 included the charge-off of $12.1 million related to the retained Vision loans to bring the retained Vision portfolio to fair value prior to the merger of Vision with and into SEPH on February 16, 2012. Park's annualized ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 0.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 1.53% for the same period in 2012.

The provision for loan losses for PNB and Guardian, Park’s two Ohio-based subsidiaries, was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $4.9 million for the same period in 2012. Net loan charge-offs for PNB and Guardian were $3.6 million for the first three months of 2013, compared to $2.9 million for the same period in 2012. The annualized ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans for PNB and Guardian was 0.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 0.28% for the same period in 2012.
 
The recovery of loan losses for SEPH was $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the provision of $3.4 million for the same period in 2012. Net loan recoveries for SEPH for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $3.0 million. Net loan charge-offs for SEPH during the period February 16, 2012 through March 31, 2012, were $2.1 million.
 
On February 16, 2012, when Vision merged with and into SEPH, the loans then held by Vision were transferred to SEPH by operation of law at their fair market value and no allowance for loan loss is carried at SEPH. As a result, the loans included in both the performing and nonperforming portfolios were charged down to their fair value. The table below provides additional information regarding cumulative charge-offs as a percentage of unpaid principal balance, as of March 31, 2013.

Park management obtains updated appraisal information for all nonperforming loans at least annually. As new appraisal information is received, management performs an evaluation of the appraisal and applies a discount for anticipated disposition costs to determine the net realizable value of the collateral, which is compared against the outstanding principal balance to determine if additional write-downs are necessary.

The decline in general reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans from 1.21% at March 31, 2012 to 1.09% at March 31, 2013 is primarily due to improving credit trends in the commercial loan portfolio for Park's Ohio operations (PNB and GFSC). The following table shows the trends in Park's Ohio - based operations commercial loan “Watch List”.

* Commercial loans include: (1) Commercial, financial and agricultural loans, (2) Commercial real estate loans, (3) Commercial related loans in the construction real estate portfolio and (4) Commercial related loans in the residential real estate portfolio.

The commercial loan table above demonstrates the improvement experienced over the last 12 months in Park's Ohio - based operations commercial portfolio. Pass rated commercial loans have grown $100.4 million, or 4.71% since March 31, 2012. Over this period, special mention loans have declined by $10.5 million, or 18.2%, and substandard loans have declined by $3.2 million, or 18.7%. These improved credit metrics in the special mention and substandard categories of the commercial loan portfolio have a significant impact on the general reserves that are established to cover incurred losses on performing commercial loans. As these credit metrics have improved over the past 12 months, general reserves have declined.

Delinquent and accruing loan trends (includes all outstanding loans, consumer and commercial) for Park's Ohio-based operations have remained at low levels. Delinquent and accruing loans were $28.9 million or 0.66% of total loans at March 31, 2013, compared to $39.6 million (0.90%) at December 31, 2012 and $28.2 million (0.67%) at March 31, 2012.

Impaired commercial loans for Park's Ohio-based operations were $86.4 million as of March 31, 2013, a decline from the balance of impaired loans of $89.4 million and $104.2 million at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The $86.4 million of impaired commercial loans at March 31, 2013 included $9.6 million of loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") which are currently on accrual status and performing in accordance with the restructured terms. Impaired commercial loans are individually evaluated for impairment and specific reserves are established to cover incurred losses.

Nonperforming Assets: Nonperforming loans include: 1) loans whose interest is accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; 2) TDRs on accrual status; and 3) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but whose interest continues to accrue.  Prior to Park’s adoption of ASU 2011-02, Park classified all TDRs as nonaccrual loans. With the adoption of ASU 2011-02, management determined it was appropriate to return certain TDRs to accrual status. Specifically, if the restructured note has been current for a period of at least six months, and management expects the borrower will remain current throughout the renegotiated contract, the loan may be returned to accrual status. OREO results from taking possession of property used as collateral for a defaulted loan.

Park management reviews all TDRs quarterly and may classify a TDR as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. At March 31, 2013, management deemed it appropriate to have $24.3 million of TDRs on accrual status, while the remaining $84.3 million of TDRs were on nonaccrual status. Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.

When determining the quarterly loan loss provision, Park reviews the grades of commercial loans. These loans are graded from 1 to 8. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 4.5 (pass-rated) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, represent higher credit risk than those rated special mention and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Generally, commercial loans that are graded a 6 are considered for partial charge-off. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonperforming and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off.
 
As of March 31, 2013, Park had taken partial charge-offs of approximately $102.9 million related to the $130.3 million of commercial loans considered to be impaired, compared to charge-offs of approximately $105.1 million related to the $137.2 million of impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2012. The table below provides additional information related to the Park impaired commercial loans at March 31, 2013, including those impaired commercial loans at PNB and those impaired Vision commercial loans retained at SEPH.

A significant portion of Park’s allowance for loan losses is allocated to commercial loans classified as “special mention” or “substandard.” “Special mention” loans are loans that have potential weaknesses that may result in loss exposure to Park. “Substandard” loans are those that exhibit a well defined weakness, jeopardizing repayment of the loan, resulting in a higher probability that Park will suffer a loss on the loan unless the weakness is corrected. Park’s annualized 48-month loss experience for the period ended December 31, 2012, defined as charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves, within the commercial loan portfolio was 0.66% of the principal balance of these loans. This annualized 48-month loss experience included only the performance of the PNB loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses related to performing commercial loans was $31.6 million or 1.38% of the outstanding principal balance of other accruing commercial loans at March 31, 2013.
 
The overall reserve of 1.38% for other accruing commercial loans breaks down as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved at 1.25%; special mention commercial loans are reserved at 4.62%; and substandard commercial loans are reserved at 11.21%. The reserve levels for pass-rated, special mention and substandard commercial loans in excess of the annualized 48-month loss experience of 0.66% are due to the following factors which management reviews on a quarterly or annual basis:

Loss Emergence Period Factor: Annually during the fourth quarter, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. This loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes a credit to move from pass-rated to nonaccrual. If the loss emergence period for any commercial loan

52

Table of Contents

segment is greater than one year, management applies additional general reserves to all performing loans within that segment of the commercial loan portfolio.
Loss Migration Factor: Park’s commercial loans are individually risk graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default increases, and accordingly, management allocates a higher percentage reserve to those accruing commercial loans graded special mention and substandard. Annually, management calculates a loss migration factor for each commercial loan segment for special mention and substandard credits based on a review of losses over the past three - year period, considering how each individual credit was rated at the beginning of the three - year period.
Environmental Loss Factor: Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and adjustments to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlates to changes in the macroeconomic environment.
Generally, consumer loans are not individually graded. Consumer loans include: (1) mortgage and installment loans included in the construction real estate segment of the loan portfolio; (2) mortgage, home equity lines of credit (HELOC), and installment loans included in the residential real estate segment of the loan portfolio; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment of the loan portfolio. The amount of loan loss reserve assigned to these loans is based on historical loss experience over the past 48 months. Management generally considers a one-year coverage period (the “Historical Loss Factor”) appropriate because the probable loss on any given loan in the consumer loan pool should ordinarily become apparent in that time frame. However, management may incorporate adjustments to the Historical Loss Factor as circumstances warrant additional reserves (e.g., increased loan delinquencies, improving or deteriorating economic conditions, changes in lending management and underwriting standards, etc.). At March 31, 2013, the coverage period within the consumer portfolio was approximately 1.58 years.
 
The judgmental increases discussed above incorporate management’s evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose additional risks and assignment of a component of the ALLL in consideration of these factors. Such environmental factors include: national and local economic trends and conditions; experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff; effects of any changes in lending policies and procedures; and levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies, impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries. The determination of this component of the ALLL requires considerable management judgment. Management continues to work to address weaknesses in those loans that may result in future loss. Actual loss experience may be more or less than the amount allocated.
 
Total Other Income
 
Total other income decreased by $20.8 million to $18.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $39.6 million for the first quarter of 2012. Excluding the gain on sale of the Vision business in 2012, total other income increased $1.4 million to $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Income from fiduciary activities, which represents revenue earned from Park’s trust activities, increased by $248,000, or 6.5%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in 2012. Fiduciary fees are generally charged based on the market value of customer accounts. The average market value for assets under management for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $3,675 million, an increase of approximately 4.3% compared to the average for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $3,522 million.
 
Service charges on deposits decreased by $249,000, or 7.3%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $4.1 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) charges during the first three months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.
 
Fee income earned from origination and sale into the secondary market of long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans is included within other non-yield related fees in the subcategory “Other service income”. Other service income increased by $1.3 million, or 48.1%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2012. This increase was primarily due to an increase in originations of mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market during the first three months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, OREO valuation adjustments, included devaluations of $253,000, which were offset by the reversal of $654,000 of the OREO valuation allowance previously established at December 31, 2012. OREO devaluations, net, thus resulted in other income of $401,000 in the first quarter of 2013, compared to expense of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2012.
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, gain on the sale of OREO, net, decreased by $821,000 to $224,000, compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease through the first three months of 2013 was largely due to fewer gains on the sale of OREO at PNB.

Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $190,000, or 0.8%, to $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $24.8 million for the same period in 2012. Salaries and benefits for SEPH were $0.4 million for the first three months of 2013, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2012, which included Vision through February 16, 2012. Salaries and benefits for the Ohio-based operations were $24.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a 6.4% increase from the $22.8 million for the same period in 2012.

Professional fees and services increased by $283,000, or 5.4% to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2012. Professional fees and services increased by $414,000 for the Ohio-based operations and consisted of higher legal expenses and higher title appraisal expenses largely due to the increase in mortgage loan originations during the first three months of 2013. Offsetting this increase was a decline of $131,000 at SEPH, largely due to lower legal expenses.
 
Amortization of intangibles decreased by $1.6 million, or 88.9% to $112,000 for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was a result of accelerated intangible amortization in the first quarter of 2012 due to the sale of the Vision business. Management expects amortization expense will be approximately $225,000 for the remainder of 2013.

 
The table below provides information related to other expense within each of Park's segments, which include PNB, GFSC, Vision, SEPH and "All Other" (which primarily consists of Park as the "Parent Company") for each quarter in 2012 and 2013 to date.

Income Tax
 
Federal income tax expense was $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $13.1 million for the first quarter of 2012. The effective federal income tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was 25.6%, compared to 29.3% for the same period in 2012. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% and Park’s effective tax rate is the permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, low income housing tax credits, bank owned life insurance income, and dividends paid on shares held within Park’s salary deferral plan. Park expects permanent tax differences for 2013 will be approximately $10 million.
 
Park and its Ohio-based affiliates do not pay state income taxes to the state of Ohio, but pay a franchise tax based on year end equity. The franchise tax expense is included in “state taxes” as part of other expense on Park’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Comparison of Financial Condition
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012
 
Changes in Financial Condition and Liquidity
 
Total assets increased by $104 million, or 1.6%, to $6,747 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $6,643 million at December 31, 2012.
 
Total investment securities decreased by $230 million, or 14.5%, to $1,352 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $1,582 million at December 31, 2012. Money market instruments, included in cash and cash equivalents, increased by $383 million to $420 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $37 million at December 31, 2012. Loan balances decreased by $6 million to $4,444 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $4,450 million at December 31, 2012.
 
Total liabilities increased by $101 million, or 1.7%, during the first three months of 2013 to $6,093 million at March 31, 2013, from $5,992 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in liabilities was due to an increase in deposits of $201 million offset by a decrease in short - term borrowings of $100 million.
 
Total deposits increased by $201 million, or 4.3%, to $4,917 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $4,716 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in deposits in the first three months of 2013 was largely related to an increase in interest bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts.
 
Short-term borrowings decreased by $100 million, or 29.1%, to $244 million at March 31, 2013, from $344 million at December 31, 2012. Long-term borrowings, including subordinated debentures and notes, increased by $1 million or 0.1% to $863 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $862 million at December 31, 2012.
 
Total stockholders’ equity increased by $3.8 million, or 0.6%, to $654.2 million at March 31, 2013, from $650.4 million at December 31, 2012. Retained earnings increased by $6.2 million during the period as a result of net income of $20.7 million, offset by common share dividends of $14.5 million. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $2.4 million to a loss of $19.9 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $17.5 million at December 31, 2012. This $2.4 million increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss was related to an unrealized net holding loss in the investment portfolio of $2.4 million, net of taxes, as a result of the mark-to-market adjustment at March 31, 2013.
 
Increases or decreases in the investment securities portfolio, short-term borrowings and long-term debt are greatly dependent upon the growth in loans and deposits. The primary objective of management is to grow loan and deposit totals. To the extent that management is unable to grow loan totals at a desired growth rate, additional investment securities may be acquired. Likewise, both short-term borrowings and long-term debt are utilized to fund the growth in earning assets if the growth in deposits and cash flow from operations are not sufficient to do so.
 
Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating cash needs of the Corporation, are met. Funds are available from a number of sources, including the securities portfolio, the core deposit base, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and the capability to securitize or package loans for sale. The Corporation’s loan to asset ratio was 65.86% at March 31, 2013, compared to 66.99% at December 31, 2012 and 63.81% at March 31, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents were $520.5 million at March 31, 2013, compared to $201.3 million at December 31, 2012 and $161.1 million at March 31, 2012. Management believes that the present funding sources provide more than adequate liquidity for the Corporation to meet its cash flow needs.
 
On a monthly basis, Park’s Treasury Department forecasts the financial statements for the next twelve months. The projected liquidity position for the Corporation is reviewed each month to ensure that adequate liquidity is maintained. Management targets that the Corporation would have a minimum of $900 million of funds available to handle liquidity needs on a daily basis. This $900 million liquidity “war chest” consists of currently available additional borrowing capacity from the Federal Home Loan Bank, federal funds sold and unpledged U.S. Government Agency securities.
 
Capital Resources
 
Total stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2013 was $654 million, or 9.7% of total assets, compared to $650 million, or 9.8% of total assets, at December 31, 2012 and $756 million, or 11.2% of total assets, at March 31, 2012. Common equity, which is stockholders’ equity excluding the preferred stock, was $654 million at March 31, 2013, or 9.7% of total assets, compared to $650.4 million, or 9.8% of total assets, at December 31, 2012 and $658 million, or 9.7% of total assets, at March 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios for banks, thrifts and bank holding companies. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is generally not included in computing regulatory capital. The minimum leverage capital ratio (defined as stockholders’ equity less intangible assets divided by tangible assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio (PNB only) is greater than or equal to 5%. Park’s leverage ratio was 9.26% at March 31, 2013 and 9.17% at December 31, 2012. The minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio (PNB only) is greater than or equal to 6%. Park’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.35% at March 31, 2013 and 13.12% at December 31, 2012. The minimum total risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital plus supplemental capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 8% and the well capitalized ratio (PNB only) is greater than or equal to 10%. Park’s total risk-based capital ratio was 16.01% at March 31, 2013 and 15.77% at December 31, 2012.
 
PNB met the well capitalized ratio guidelines at March 31, 2013. The following table indicates the capital ratios for PNB and Park at March 31, 2013.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
In the ordinary course of operations, Park enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as leases for premises. See page 42 of Park’s 2012 Annual Report (Table 31) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2012. There were no significant changes in contractual obligations and commitments during the first three months of 2013.
 
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
 
PNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
 
The exposure to credit loss (for PNB) in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Park and PNB use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.
 
The total amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk were as follows:

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a bi-monthly basis by modeling the consolidated financial statements under various interest rate scenarios. The primary reason for these efforts is to guard Park from adverse impacts of unforeseen changes in interest rates. Management continues to believe that further changes in interest rates will have a small impact on net income, consistent with the disclosure on pages 41 and 42 of Park’s 2012 Annual Report.
 
On page 41 (Table 30) of Park’s 2012 Annual Report, management reported that Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $1,144 million or 18.84% of interest earning assets at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $692 million or 11.15% of interest earning assets.
 
Management supplements the interest rate sensitivity gap analysis with periodic simulations of balance sheet sensitivity under various interest rate and what-if scenarios to better forecast and manage the net interest margin. Management uses a 50 basis point change in market interest rates per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year in evaluating the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and net income over a twelve month horizon.
 
On page 42 of Park’s 2012 Annual Report, management reported that at December 31, 2012, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 1.1% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 6.6% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At March 31, 2013, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 0.7% using a rising interest rate scenario and would decrease by 5.2% in a declining interest rate scenario. At March 31, 2013, management continues to believe that gradual changes in interest rates (50 basis points per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year) will have a small impact on net income.
 
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
With the participation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (the principal financial officer) of Park, Park’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of Park’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, Park’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Park’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that:
 
information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Park’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;
information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and
Park’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in Park’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Park’s fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Park’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.       Legal Proceedings
 
There are no pending legal proceedings to which Park or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject, except for routine legal proceedings which Park’s subsidiary bank, PNB, is a party to incidental to its banking business, as well as routine legal proceedings at SEPH which SEPH (and SEPH as the successor to Vision Bank) is a party to incidental to its business. Park considers none of those proceedings to be material.

Item 1A.     Risk Factors
 
There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”), we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There have been no material changes from these risk factors. Any of the risks described in the 2012 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The number shown represents, as of the end of each period, the maximum number of common shares that may yet be purchased as part of Park’s publicly announced stock repurchase authorization to fund the Park National Corporation 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”).

The 2005 Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors of Park on January 18, 2005 and was approved by the Park shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 18, 2005. Under the 2005 Plan, 1,500,000 common shares were authorized for delivery upon the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the 2005 Plan. All of the common shares delivered upon the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the 2005 Plan are to be treasury shares. As of March 31, 2013, there were no incentive stock options outstanding and 1,500,000 common shares were available for future grants.
 
With 738,989 common shares held as treasury shares at March 31, 2013 and no incentive stock options outstanding, 738,989 common shares held as treasury shares were available for purposes of funding the 2005 Plan at March 31, 2013, and an additional 761,011 common shares remained authorized for repurchase for purposes of funding the 2005 Plan.

At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 22, 2013, Park's shareholders approved the Park National Corporation 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”). The 2013 Incentive Plan replaces the 2005 Plan as well as Park's Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Park National Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Directors' Stock Plan”), each of which terminated following the approval of the 2013 Incentive Plan by Park's shareholders. From and after April 22, 2013, no further awards will be granted by Park under the 2005 Plan or the Directors' Stock Plan.

The aggregate number of common shares with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan will be 600,000. The common shares to be issued and delivered under the 2013 Incentive Plan may consist of either common shares currently held or common shares subsequently acquired by Park as treasury shares. No newly-issued common shares will be delivered under the 2013 Incentive Plan. On April 22, 2013, Park's Board of Directors authorized the purchase, from time to time, of up to 600,000 Park common shares to be held as treasury shares for subsequent issuance and delivery under the 2013 Incentive Plan.
