T O   O U R   S T O C K H O L D E R S

Park National Corporation (Park or PRK) 2010 net income was
$74.2 million, the same amount we reported one year ago. Net
income available to common shareholders, after deduction of
preferred stock dividends and the related accretion, was $68.4
million in both 2010 and 2009.

We maintained dividends on Park common stock last year during 
a time when most large banking companies previously reduced,
substantially in many cases, dividends paid to their stockholders.
Park’s board of directors declared the first quarter dividend of
$0.94 per common share payable on March 10, 2011 for
shareholders of record on February 25, 2011, continuing 
a pattern we expect to follow in 2011.

Diluted earnings per common share were $4.51 for 2010 and
$4.82 for 2009, a decrease of 6.4%. Common shares outstanding
were 15,398,934 at December 31, 2010 compared to 14,882,780
at December 31, 2009, an increase of 3.5%.

We raised more capital last year, after successfully doing the same 
in 2009. In 2010 we added $33.5 million in Tier 1 capital from the
sale of 509,184 shares of common stock.

The sales price of the shares sold in 2010, net of all expenses, 
was $65.79 per share, or approximately 1.6 times the Park
common stock value of $41.71 at December 31, 2009. It was
uncommon for banking companies to sell common stock at a 
price significantly above common book value during 2009 and
2010, so we are very pleased with the results.

As stockholders, our preference is to refrain from raising capital 
by selling common stock. Being masters of the obvious, issuing
more common stock causes ownership dilution and typically
reduces earnings per share, neither being attractive alternatives. 
But general economic conditions, the state of the banking industry
and our desire to fortify our capital position, caused us, for the
second consecutive year, to conclude we should raise additional
capital, if it could be done at a reasonable price. And the net price
we received was very reasonable compared to industry peers.

The additional common equity (approximately $87 million in 
total for 2009 and 2010) provides Park with a critically important
level of additional safety. Below is a brief summary of common
shareholders’ equity since December 31, 2008, including the
additional capital:

The additional capital discussed above increased our capital 
ratios to be well beyond regulatory standards considered to be 
well capitalized. We continue to monitor banking conditions
carefully as we move into 2011.

While we don’t have current plans to raise additional capital, 
we think it’s important to be able to react in an efficient and timely
manner should the occasion arise. For that reason, our board is
recommending that stockholders approve a change to our bylaws
that eliminates preemptive rights. You will find more detail of this
request in the proxy statement for this year’s annual meeting.

We believe preemptive rights made great sense for our
stockholders several years ago when we were more closely 
held and our stock traded infrequently. Daily trading activity in 
PRK has improved from years ago, although our volume remains
modest compared to many publicly traded companies. Yet it is very
clear that should your board of directors approve a new issue of
common stock, and if we as stockholders wish to maintain our
relative ownership position, we can simply call a broker and the
necessary additional PRK stock can be purchased, leaving our
relative ownership in PRK intact. Preemptive rights for our
stockholders in the current environment has outlived its usefulness.

Eliminating preemptive rights will provide your board of directors
with greater flexibility to manage capital. Importantly though,
eliminating preemptive rights does not alter the approval process
that requires formal action by your board of directors. We
encourage your support of this recommendation and as always, 
are available to answer questions on this topic as well as other
matters of importance.

An ongoing challenge for us since mid-2007 has been addressing
conditions within markets served by our Vision Bank subsidiary,
operating in Baldwin County, Alabama and the panhandle of
Florida.

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in April, 2010 significantly
delayed an economic recovery in these markets. The oil spill
exacerbated an already poor economy in the Gulf area. The
Horizon deep water well was successfully capped late in the
summer last year, but unfortunately, not until after the most
significant part of the tourism season concluded. Tourism
expenditures within the Gulf coast areas were greatly curtailed 
last year.

Businesses dependent upon tourism suffered considerably. While
many businesses were aided in part by BP relief funds, the simple
fact is that markets served by Vision Bank remain significantly
challenged and recovery is not expected to occur until 2011,

2012 or even longer. We continue to explore a number of
alternatives to lower our exposure to inordinately high levels of
troubled assets, the majority of which are held within the Vision
Bank portfolios.

We continue to experience high levels of net charge-offs and
provisions for loan losses, primarily related to the exposure at our
Vision Bank subsidiary, where property values have experienced
significant devaluations as a result of the recent recession and the
oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. That said, provisions for loan losses
experienced a moderate decline in 2010, a trend that we expect
will continue in 2011. Here is a useful historical comparison:

We remain committed to doing all within our power to reduce 
the level of troubled assets on our balance sheet. Do we expect 
a return to 2006 when we had minimal losses? No. But we know
improvements in asset quality are possible, necessary and
ultimately inevitable.

We are extremely pleased with the efforts of our associates 
coupled with the exceptional work being done by Southeast
Property Solutions, LLC. (SPS), a firm we engaged to bolster our
collection efforts at Vision Bank. Troubled assets increased for the
third consecutive year at Vision Bank but still we made progress 
by getting many problems resolved in both Florida and Alabama.
Unfortunately, more problem assets came on the books than went
off last year, a trend that will reverse itself in the future.

The operating results of our Ohio-based subsidiaries continue 
to be superb.

Our collective Ohio banking divisions of The Park National 
Bank (PNB) generated over $100 million in net income last 
year, producing ratios that continue to compare very favorably 
to our peers. The Uniform Bank Performance Report, produced 
by the federal government, compares key operating ratios of PNB,
including all of our 11 community bank divisions in Ohio and
northern Kentucky, against median performance results for all
other commercial banks in the country having assets greater than
$3 billion. Below is a key ratio from the report that demonstrates
superior performance over the past 3 years:

PNB finished in the 92nd, 91st and 95th percentile ranking
compared to peers in the previous 3 years respectively, beginning
with 2010. Performing in the top 10% in the country is very special.

Our other Ohio-based subsidiary is Guardian Financial Services
Company, headquartered in Hilliard, Ohio. Last year Guardian’s net
income exceeded $2 million for the first time. Earl Osborne, Matt
Marsh and all the associates at Guardian are clearly contributing to
Park’s success.

On a larger scale, an economic recovery, while modest, continues
at the national level. But stubbornly high unemployment continues.
In many markets served by our affiliates, unemployment is at
double-digit levels with little promise of relief in the near term.

The national economy is awash in liquidity, but there is only 
modest loan demand, largely due to reduced levels of consumer
spending which in turn, causes business and industry to maintain 
a conservative posture. New commercial construction, additions 
to manufacturing facilities and improvements to existing facilities
(including equipment replacement) is occurring at a very slow
pace. The single family housing inventory in each of the markets we
serve has significant excess supply causing new home construction
to remain at historically low levels.

A positive note is that long term interest rates remain very 
attractive for borrowers. There were periods during 2010 where
we experienced interest rates for single family home loans that
were the lowest in over 50 years. Accordingly, our single family
home loan refinance volume was the 3rd highest in the past 
10 years.

We are proud of our associates who were able to originate, 
process and service such a high volume of loans for customers in
2010. A nice story within this robust activity was that 1 in 5 of our
new mortgage loans paid off other lenders. Thus, we were pleased
to welcome many new customers to the Park affiliate family last
year. Since our associates were able to maintain pace with the
exceptionally strong refinance demand, our affiliate banks typically
led mortgage production levels in their headquarter counties. 

On another front, we took advantage of three very unusual
conditions that existed last year, and already once in the first
quarter of 2011, resulting in the sale of securities at significant
gains. The pre-tax gains were approximately $11.9 million last year
and $6.6 million in February of this year.

It is rare for us to take gains in the investment portfolio. Gains are
typically little more than accelerating the recognition of income and
corresponding income taxes. But certain events, such as Federal
Reserve actions regarding monetary policy implementation, created
opportunities with certain securities. Rather than risk the chance

T O   O U R   S T O C K H O L D E R S

that the gains would vanish, we decided to take the gains and
reinvest the proceeds into other investments that fit within our
policies dealing with sound asset and liability management.

standards, sharing stories of great and not-so-great service. 
We learn from each other and we begin each day with great 
service in mind. We hope you notice...

In our view, 2010 may be remembered as the “year of technology”
for Park. We prefer that label instead of the “year of problem
assets.”

As a result of a revised technology strategic plan adopted in late
2008, we embarked on a program to significantly improve our
core operating systems, to dramatically improve our disaster
recovery capability and to change the way we process and handle
paper items at the teller counter and with our commercial
customers in their place of business.

The result was a highly successful upgrade in our teller operations
while offering commercial customers ways to gain credit for their
paper check deposits without making a trip to the bank. Electronic
imaging is here to stay, and we now offer commercial and
consumer electronic banking services that are competitive 
within our markets. 

Further improvements in our technology related services will 
occur this year. Web sites at each of our banking divisions will 
see “makeovers”, the end result of which will be a cleaner, more
logical and user-friendly online experience. We soon will have a
new fully integrated disaster recovery site that is redundant to our
main frame and operating system. We are far more comfortable
knowing that, in the event of equipment failure, a natural disaster
or for some other reason we lose use of the main frame at our
operations center, our customers will continue to be served in 
a near seamless fashion on new main frame equipment. 

All the technology in the world is a poor substitute for high 
quality service delivery that distinguishes Park from our
competition. As we frequently remind our associates, the color 
of money is green for everyone. It’s the way we handle the money
that allows a customer or prospective customer to appreciate 
and value our service.

We think about service a lot...how we deliver service, how we can
improve and what lessons we can learn from our experiences and
from others. Last year we embarked on a systematic analysis of 
our service culture. We enlisted the help of an expert who has
world-class experience helping other companies standardize 
and markedly improve their service quality.

The result is what we call “Service Excellence” and it is our 
attempt to elevate service to higher levels. We will implement a
standardized set of best practices throughout our organization 
by mid-2011. Each day, you will find us reviewing our service

We are fortunate to have a dedicated board of directors providing
counsel and support during challenging economic times. We were
pleased last year when Steve Kambeitz assumed leadership of the
Audit Committee and equally pleased in early 2011 when Sarah
Reese Wallace agreed to assume leadership of the Nominating
Committee. Sarah’s father, of course, is J. Gilbert Reese, the son 
of Everett D. Reese, and Sarah provides family continuity and
judgment to Park dating back to 1921 when Everett first joined the
Park bank. Since becoming an emeritus board member in 2009,
Gib attends board meetings occasionally making sure we do not
stray too much.

As we close this letter, we want to recognize Bill McConnell. 
The Ohio Bankers League (OBL) recognized Bill as a “Pioneer 
in Banking” last October at their annual meeting in Columbus. 
In the OBL’s decades-long history, he is only the second banker 
so honored. Bill has brought recognition and honor once again 
to Park. Only Ev Reese and Bill McConnell served, from the same
bank in the state of Ohio, as the chairman of the American Bankers
Association in the 20th Century. Bill’s dedication to the profession,
to the industry, and to leadership within our bank and to our
communities is legendary. We were so proud when Bill was
recognized by the OBL.

As always, we close with a commitment to do all we can to improve
the performance of Park. We cannot control outside events like the
economy, the weather and political winds. But we can control our
effort, our dedication and our perseverance. Our customers, our
communities, our colleagues and our stockholders deserve the
best efforts on all fronts—and they’ll get them. You can help by
sending folks our way. We will provide them with service that will
make you look good for the referral.

This financial review presents management’s discussion and analysis of the
financial condition and results of operations for Park National Corporation and
its subsidiaries (“Park” or the “Corporation”). This discussion should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and
the five-year summary of selected financial data. Management’s discussion and
analysis  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. The forward-looking statements are
based on management’s 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; deterioration in the asset value of our 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 collateral could prove less valuable than assumed and cash flows
may be worse than expected; changes in general economic and financial
market conditions, and weakening in the economy, specifically the real estate
market and credit markets, 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; the effects of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill; 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; our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes
in our assets and liabilities; competitive factors among financial institutions may
increase significantly, including product and pricing  pressures and Park’s 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 effect of fiscal and governmental policies of the United States
federal government; and other risk factors relating to our 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, 2010. Undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-
looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report. 
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 was made, or reflect the occurrence 
of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.

ACQUISITION OF VISION BANCSHARES, INC. 
AND GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT CHARGES 
On March 9, 2007, Park acquired all of the stock and outstanding stock options
of Vision Bancshares, Inc. (“Vision”) for $87.8 million in cash and 792,937
shares of Park common stock valued at $83.3 million or $105.00 per share.
The goodwill recognized was $109.0 million. The fair value of the acquired
assets of Vision was $686.5 million and the fair value of the liabilities assumed
was $624.4 million as of March 9, 2007.

At the time of the acquisition, Vision operated two bank subsidiaries (both
named Vision Bank) which became bank subsidiaries of Park on March 9,
2007. On July 20, 2007, the bank operations of the two Vision Banks were con-
solidated under a single charter through the merger of the Vision Bank
headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama with and into the Vision Bank
 headquartered in Panama City, Florida. Vision Bank operates under a Florida
banking charter and has 18 branch locations in Baldwin County, Alabama and
in the panhandle of Florida. The acquisition of Vision had a significant negative
impact on Park’s net income in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. 

Vision Bank began experiencing credit problems during the second half of
2007 as nonperforming loans increased from $6.5 million at June 30, 2007 to
$63.5 million or 9.9% of loan balances at December 31, 2007. As a result of
these credit problems at Vision Bank, Park’s management concluded that the
goodwill of $109.0 million recorded at the time of acquisition was possibly
impaired. A goodwill impairment analysis was completed during the fourth
quarter of 2007 and the conclusion was reached that a goodwill impairment
charge of $54.0 million be recorded at Vision Bank at year-end 2007 to reduce
the goodwill balance to $55.0 million.

Credit problems continued to plague Vision Bank in 2008. Net loan charge-offs
for Vision Bank were $5.5 million during the first quarter or an annualized
3.37% of average loans and increased to $10.8 million during the second
quarter or an annualized 6.41% of average loans. Based primarily on the
increased level of net loan charge-offs at Vision Bank during 2008, management
determined that it would be prudent to test for additional goodwill impairment.
A goodwill impairment analysis was completed during the third quarter of 
2008 and the conclusion was reached that a goodwill impairment charge of
$55.0 million be recorded at Vision Bank during the third quarter of 2008 to
 eliminate the goodwill balance pertaining to Vision Bank. Refer to “Overview”
section below for 2008, 2009 and 2010 impact of Vision Bank results on Park.

OVERVIEW
Net income was $74.2 million for both 2010 and 2009, compared to net
income of $13.7 million in 2008. The primary reason for the large change in
net income between 2009 and 2008 was the change in the net loss at Vision
Bank. The net loss at Vision Bank was $29.3 million in 2010, $30.1 million 
in 2009 and $81.2 million in 2008. As previously discussed, Vision Bank
 recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $55.0 million in 2008 to 
write-off the remaining goodwill asset.

Diluted earnings per common share were $4.51, $4.82 and $0.97 for 2010,
2009 and 2008, respectively. Diluted earnings per common share decreased by
$0.31 or 6.4% in 2010 compared to 2009 and increased by $3.85 or 396.9%
in 2009 compared to 2008. While net income and net income available to
common shareholders was effectively unchanged in 2010 from 2009, the
issuance of common shares during 2010 resulted in a decline in diluted
 earnings per common share compared to last year.

The following tables show the components of net income for 2010, 2009 and
2008. This information is provided for Park, Vision Bank and Park excluding
Vision Bank.

Net income for Park excluding Vision Bank decreased by $788,000 or .8% to

9.9% to $104.3 million in 2009 compared to 2008.

SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR PARK
A year ago, Park’s management projected that net interest income would 
be $265 million to $275 million in 2010. The actual results in 2010 were
$274.0 million, which were very close to the top of the estimated range. Park’s
management projected that the average interest earning assets for 2010 would
be approximately $6,550 million. The actual average interest earning assets for
the year were $6,482 million, 1.0% lower than the projected balance. However,
Park’s net interest margin for 2010 of 4.26% exceeded management’s estimated
range of 4.15% to 4.20%. This positive variance was largely due to an improve-
ment in the net interest rate spread (the difference between rates received for
interest earning assets and the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities.) The net
interest rate spread improved by 7 basis points to 4.01% for 2010 from 3.94%
for 2009. Management had not projected an improvement in the net interest
rate spread for 2010.

Park’s management also projected a year ago that the provision for loan losses
would be $45 million to $55 million in 2010. The actual provision for loan
losses in 2010 of $64.9 million exceeded the top of the estimated range by $9.9
million. The primary reason that the actual provision for loan losses exceeded
management’s estimated range in 2010 was due to the large number of new
nonaccrual loans during the year, as well as continued devaluations of property
values (primarily related to impaired loans at Vision Bank that are considered
to be collateral dependent). New nonperforming loans were $175.2 million 
in 2010, compared to $184.2 million in 2009 and $141.8 million in 2008.
Park’s management had projected a significant decrease in the amount of 
new nonperforming loans in 2010 and accordingly had forecast a significant
decrease in the loan loss provision for 2010.

Other income for 2010 was $77.5 million, which includes gains from the sale 
of investment securities of $11.9 million. A year ago, Park’s management
 projected that total other income would be $75.3 million, which included
 estimated gains from the sale of investment securities of $7.3 million.
Management sold more investment securities in 2010 than anticipated which
resulted in total other income being $2.2 million larger than projected.

A year ago, Park’s management projected that total other expense would be
approximately $191 million in 2010. Total other expense for 2010 was $187.1
million and was below management’s estimate by $3.9 million or 2.0%.

A year ago, Park’s management projected that income before income taxes for
2010 would be approximately $104.3 million (using the midpoint of ranges
where applicable) based on the forecast for net interest income, provision for
loan losses, other income and other expense. The actual income before income
taxes for 2010 was $99.5 million, $4.8 million or 4.6% below the estimate. In
summary, the actual results for net interest income, other income and other
expense were a little better than the forecast for 2010, but the provision for
loan losses was $9.9 million higher than the estimated range.

ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK AND 
EMERGENCY ECONOMIC STABILIZATION ACT
On October 3, 2008, Congress passed the Emergency Economic Stabilization
Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which created the Troubled Asset Relief Program
(“TARP”) and provided the Secretary of the Treasury with broad authority 
to implement certain actions to help restore stability and liquidity to U.S.
markets. The Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) was announced by the 
U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “U.S. Treasury”) on October 14, 2008 
as part of TARP. The CPP is voluntary and requires a participating institution to
comply with a number of restrictions and provisions, including standards for
executive compensation and corporate governance and limitations on share
repurchases and the declaration and payment of dividends on common shares. 

Park elected to apply for $100 million of funds through the CPP. On December
23, 2008, Park completed the sale to the U.S. Treasury of $100 million of
newly-issued Park non-voting preferred shares as part of the CPP. Park entered
into a Securities Purchase Agreement and a Letter Agreement with the U.S.
Treasury on December 23, 2008. Pursuant to these agreements, Park issued
and sold to the U.S. Treasury (i) 100,000 of Park’s Fixed Rate Cumulative
Perpetual Preferred Shares, Series A, each without par value and having a
 liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”),
and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 227,376 Park common shares
at an exercise price of $65.97 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of
$100 million. The Warrant has a ten-year term. All of the proceeds from the
sale of the Series A Preferred Shares and the Warrant by Park to the U.S.
Treasury under the CPP qualify as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) require management 
to allocate the proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares
between the Series A Preferred Shares and related Warrant. The terms of the
Series A Preferred Shares require Park to pay a cumulative dividend at the rate
of 5 percent per annum until February 14, 2014, and 9 percent thereafter.
Management determined that the 5 percent dividend rate is below market value;
therefore, the fair value of the Series A Preferred Shares would be less than the
$100 million in proceeds. Management determined that a reasonable market
discount rate was 12 percent for the fair value of the Series A Preferred Shares
and used the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the Warrant
(and related common shares). The allocation between the Series A Preferred
Shares and the Warrant at December 23, 2008, the date of issuance, was $95.7
million and $4.3 million, respectively. The discount on the Series A Preferred
Shares of $4.3 million is being accreted through retained earnings using the
level yield method over a 60-month period. GAAP requires Park to measure
earnings per share with earnings available to common shareholders. Therefore,
the Consolidated Statements of Income reflect a line item for “Preferred stock
dividends and accretion” and a line item for “Income available to common

31

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

shareholders”. The dividends and accretion on the Series A Preferred Shares
totaled $5,807,000 for 2010, $5,762,000 for 2009 and $142,000 for 2008. 
The accretion of the discount was $807,000 in 2010, $762,000 in 2009 and
$18,000 in 2008. Management expects the accretion of the discount in 2011
will be $856,000.

Income available to common shareholders is net income minus the preferred
stock dividends and accretion. Income available to common shareholders was
$68.4 million for both 2010 and 2009, and $13.6 million for 2008.

See Note 1 and Note 25 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information on the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares.

DIVIDENDS ON COMMON SHARES
Park declared quarterly cash dividends on common shares in 2010 that totaled
$3.76 per share. The quarterly cash dividend on common shares was $0.94 per
share for each quarter of 2010.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Treasury
under the CPP, Park is not permitted to increase the quarterly cash dividend on
its common shares above $0.94 per share without seeking prior approval from
the U.S. Treasury.

Cash dividends declared on common shares were $3.76 in both 2010 and 
2009 and $3.77 in 2008. Park’s management expects to pay a quarterly cash
dividend on its common shares of $0.94 per share in 2011. This expectation 
is based on management’s current forecast that earnings will be sufficient to
maintain historic dividend levels.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation 
of Park’s consolidated financial statements are listed in Note 1 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounting and reporting policies of
Park conform with U.S. 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 current economic conditions.
However, this evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires 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 for future periods. (Refer to the “Credit
Experience-Provision for Loan Losses” section within this Financial Review 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 December 31, 2010, OREO
totaled $44.3 million, representing a 7.5% increase compared to $41.2 million
at December 31, 2009.

32

Effective January 1, 2008, management implemented the fair value hierarchy,
which has the objective of maximizing the use of observable market inputs. 
The related accounting guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding
the inputs used to calculate fair value. These inputs 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 the inputs could be based on internal models and cash flow analysis. 
At December 31, 2010, financial assets valued using Level 3 inputs for Park had
an aggregate fair value of approximately $158.9 million. This was 10.8% of the
total amount of assets measured at fair value as of the end of the year. The fair
value of impaired loans was approximately $111.3 million (or 70.0%) of the
total amount of Level 3 inputs. Additionally, there were $96.2 million of loans 
that were impaired and carried at cost, as fair value exceeded book value for
each individual credit. The large majority of Park’s financial assets valued using
Level 2 inputs consist of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities. The fair value of
these AFS securities is obtained largely by 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.

Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible
assets also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant
accounting policies. 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 banking subsidiaries 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. 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. The fair value of the goodwill, which resides
on the books of Park’s subsidiary banks, is estimated by reviewing the past 
and projected operating results for the Park subsidiary banks, deposit and 
loan totals for the Park subsidiary banks and banking industry comparable
information. Park recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $55.0 million 
in the third quarter of 2008 to eliminate the goodwill balance pertaining to
Vision Bank. At December 31, 2010, on a consolidated basis, Park had core
deposit  intangibles of $6.0 million subject to amortization and $72.3 million 
of  goodwill, which was not subject to periodic amortization. The core deposit
intangibles recorded on the balance sheet of PNB totaled $1.4 million and 
the core deposit intangibles at Vision Bank were $4.6 million. The goodwill
asset of $72.3 million is carried on the balance sheet of PNB.

ABOUT OUR BUSINESS
Through its Ohio-based banking divisions, Park is engaged in the commercial
banking and trust business, generally in small to medium population Ohio
 communities. Vision Bank is primarily engaged in the commercial banking
business throughout the panhandle of Florida and in Baldwin County, Alabama.
Management believes there are a significant number of consumers and busi-
nesses which seek long-term relationships with community-based financial
institutions of quality and strength. While not engaging in activities such as
foreign lending, nationally syndicated loans or investment banking, Park
attempts to meet the needs of its customers for commercial, real estate and
consumer loans, consumer and commercial leases, and investment, fiduciary
and deposit services. 

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

Park’s subsidiaries compete for deposits and loans with other banks, 
savings associations, credit unions and other types of financial institutions. 
At December 31, 2010, Park and its Ohio-based banking divisions operated 
124 banking offices and a network of 151 automatic teller machines in 28 
Ohio counties and one county in northern Kentucky. Vision Bank operated 
17 banking offices and a network of 20 automatic teller machines in Baldwin
County, Alabama and in five counties in the panhandle of Florida.

A table of financial data for Park’s banking subsidiaries and their divisions 
for 2010, 2009 and 2008 is shown in Table 4. See Note 23 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional financial information for the
Corporation’s subsidiaries. Please note that the financial statements for various
divisions of PNB are not maintained on a separate basis and, therefore, net
income is only an estimate by management.

SOURCE OF FUNDS
Deposits: Park’s major source of funds is deposits from individuals,
 businesses and local government units. These deposits consist of noninterest
bearing and interest bearing deposits.

Total year-end deposits decreased by $92.6 million or 1.8% to $5,095 million 
at December 31, 2010. Certificates of deposits, excluding brokered deposits,
declined by $358.7 million or 16% in 2010. Brokered time deposits were $110
million at December 31, 2010. All other deposits increased by $156 million or
5% in 2010. The following table provides information on the change in deposits
in 2010.

In 2010, total year-end deposits at Vision Bank decreased by $55.5 million 
or 8.0% and decreased by $37.1 million or 0.8% for Park’s Ohio-based
 operations.

Total year-end deposits increased by $426 million or 9.0% in 2009. Excluding 
a $236 million decline in brokered deposits in 2009, deposits increased by
$662 million or 14.6% in 2009. In 2009, Vision Bank’s year-end total deposits
increased by $52 million or 8.2% and Park’s Ohio-based operations increased
deposits by $374 million or 9.1%.

Average total deposits were $5,182 million in 2010, compared to $5,051
million in 2009 and $4,603 million in 2008. Average noninterest bearing
deposits were $908 million in 2010, compared to $818 million in 2009 
and $740 million in 2008.

Management expects that total deposits (exclusive of brokered deposits) will
modestly increase in 2011 by 1%. Excluding brokered deposits, total year-end
deposits decreased by 3.9% in 2010, which was in line with the guidance of a
3% to 5% decline that was provided a year ago by Park’s management.

The Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve Board
decreased the federal funds rate from 4.25% at December 31, 2007 to a range
of 0% to 0.25% at year-end 2008. The FOMC aggressively lowered the federal
funds rate during 2008 as the severity of the economic recession increased. The
FOMC maintained the targeted federal funds rate in the 0% to 0.25% range for
all of 2009 and 2010, as the U.S. economy gradually recovered from the severe
recession. The average federal funds rate was 0.18% for 2010, compared to an
average rate of 0.16% for 2009 and 1.93% in 2008.

The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.98% in 2010,
compared to 1.53% in 2009 and 2.33% in 2008. The average cost of interest
bearing deposits for each quarter of 2010 was 0.82% for the fourth quarter,
0.91% for the third quarter, 1.04% for the second quarter and 1.15% for the
first quarter.

Park’s management expects that due to the uncertainty of future economic
growth following the economic recession, the FOMC will maintain the federal
funds interest rate at approximately 0.25% for most of 2011. As a result, Park’s
management expects a slight decline in the average interest rate paid on interest
bearing deposits in 2011. 

Short-Term Borrowings: Short-term borrowings consist of securities sold 
under agreements to repurchase, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, federal
funds purchased and other borrowings. These funds are used to manage the
Corporation’s liquidity needs and interest rate sensitivity risk. The average rate
paid on short-term borrowings generally moves closely with changes in market
interest rates for short-term investments. The average rate paid on short-term
borrowings was 0.39% in 2010 compared to 0.76% in 2009 and 2.38% in
2008.

The average cost of short-term borrowings for each quarter of 2010 was 
0.32% for the fourth quarter, 0.37% for the third quarter, 0.43% for the 
second quarter and 0.46% for the first quarter. Management expects the
average rate paid on short-term borrowings in 2011 will be down slightly
 compared to 2010.

Average short-term borrowings were $301 million in 2010 compared to $420
million in 2009 and $609 million in 2008. The decrease in average short-term
borrowings in 2010 compared to 2009, as well as 2009 compared to 2008, 
was primarily due to the increase in average deposit balances in both 2010 
and 2009. While average short-term borrowings declined in 2010 compared 
to 2009, the short-term borrowing balance at December 31, 2010 was $663.7
million compared to $324.2 million at December 31, 2009, as Park increased
its investment portfolio at year-end 2010 and temporarily funded the increase 
in assets through short-term borrowings.

Long-Term Debt: Long-term debt primarily consists of borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank and repurchase agreements with investment banking
firms. (The average balance of long-term debt and the average cost of long-term
debt includes the subordinated debentures discussed in the following section.)

33

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

In 2010, average long-term debt was $725 million compared to $780 million in
2009 and $836 million in 2008. Average total debt (long-term and short-term)
was $1,026 million in 2010 compared to $1,200 million in 2009 and $1,445
million in 2008. Average total debt decreased by $174 million or 14.5% in
2010 compared to 2009 and decreased by $245 million or 16.9% in 2009
compared to 2008. The decrease in average total debt in 2010 compared to
2009, as well as compared to 2008, was primarily due to the increase in
average deposits. Average long-term debt was 71% of average total debt in 
2010 compared to 65% in 2009 and 58% in 2008.

The average rate paid on long-term debt was 3.91% for 2010, compared to
3.38% for 2009 and 3.72% for 2008. In 2010, the average cost of long-term
debt for each quarter was 3.87% for the fourth quarter, 3.91% for the third
quarter, 3.92% for the second quarter and 3.92% for the first quarter. 

Management expects the average long-term debt balance will be approximately
$850 million in 2011, as management increased long-term borrowings in
January 2011 by $150 million and used the proceeds to repay short-term
 borrowings. Additionally, management expects that the average rate paid 
on long-term debt will be approximately 3.50% in 2011. 

Subordinated Debentures/Notes: Park assumed with the Vision acquisition,
$15 million of floating rate junior subordinated notes. The interest rate on these
subordinated notes adjusts every quarter at 148 basis points above the three-
month LIBOR interest rate. The maturity date for the junior subordinated notes
is December 30, 2035 and the junior subordinated notes may be prepaid after
December 30, 2010. These junior subordinated notes qualify as Tier 1 capital
under current Federal Reserve System guidelines.

Park’s Ohio-based banking subsidiary, PNB, issued a $25 million subordinated
debenture on December 28, 2007. The interest rate on this subordinated
debenture adjusts every quarter at 200 basis points above the three-month
LIBOR interest rate. The maturity date for the subordinated debenture is
December 29, 2017 and the subordinated debenture may be prepaid after
December 28, 2012. On January 2, 2008, Park entered into a “pay fixed-receive
floating” interest rate swap agreement for a notional amount of $25 million with
a maturity date of December 28, 2012. This interest rate swap agreement was
designed to hedge the cash flows pertaining to the $25 million subordinated
debenture until December 28, 2012. Management converted the cash flows to 
a fixed interest rate of 6.01% through the use of the interest rate swap. This
subordinated debenture qualifies as Tier 2 capital under the applicable
 regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United 
States of America (the “OCC”) and the Federal Reserve System.

On December 23, 2009, Park issued $35.25 million of subordinated notes 
to 38 purchasers. These subordinated notes have a fixed annual interest rate of
10% with quarterly interest payments. The maturity date of these subordinated
notes is December 23, 2019. These subordinated notes may be prepaid by Park
any time after December 23, 2014. The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2
capital under applicable rules of the Federal Reserve System. Each subordinated
note was purchased at a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount by an
accredited investor.

See Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information on the subordinated debentures and subordinated notes.

Sale of Common Stock: Park sold an aggregate of 509,184 common shares,
out of treasury shares, during 2010. Of the 509,184 common shares sold in
2010, 437,200 common shares were issued upon the exercise of warrants
 associated with the capital raise that closed on October 30, 2009. As part of 
the capital raise that closed on December 10, 2010, Park sold 71,984 common
shares and issued warrants for the purchase of 71,984 shares of common
stock. The warrants issued as part of the December 10, 2010 transaction have
an exercise price of $76.41 per share. Warrants  covering the purchase of an
aggregate of 35,992 common shares expire on June 10, 2011 and warrants
covering the purchase of the other 35,992 common shares expire on December
10, 2011.

34

In total for 2010, Park sold 509,184 common shares and warrants covering
71,984 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $67.99 for
gross proceeds of $34.6 million. Net of selling expenses and professional fees,
Park raised $33.5 million of common equity from capital raising activities in
2010.

During 2009, Park sold 904,072 common shares and warrants covering
500,000 common shares at a weighted average price per share of $61.20 for
gross proceeds of $55.3 million. Net of selling expenses and professional fees,
Park raised $53.5 million of common equity from capital raising activities in
2009.

Stockholders’ Equity: Tangible stockholders’ equity (stockholders’ equity
less goodwill and other intangible assets) to tangible assets (total assets less
goodwill and other intangible assets) was 9.24% at December 31, 2010
 compared to 9.13% at December 31, 2009 and 7.98% at December 31, 2008.

The ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets for each of the past
three years includes the issuance of $100 million of Park Series A Preferred
Shares to the U.S. Treasury on December 23, 2008. In 2009, Park’s tangible
stockholders’ equity to tangible assets ratio increased largely as a result of the
sale of common stock which increased equity by $53.5 million. In 2010, Park’s
tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets further increased largely as a
result of the sale of common stock which increased equity by $33.5 million.
Excluding the $100.0 million of Series A Preferred Shares, the ratio of tangible
stockholders’ equity to tangible assets was 7.86% at December 31, 2010, 7.69%
at December 31, 2009 and 6.54% at December 31, 2008.

In accordance with GAAP, Park reflects any unrealized holding gain or loss 
on AFS securities, net of income taxes, as accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) which is part of Park’s stockholders’ equity. The unrealized
holding gain on AFS securities, net of income taxes, was $15.1 million at year-
end 2010, compared to $30.1 million at year-end 2009 and $31.6 million at
year-end 2008. Long-term and short-term interest rates decreased sharply
during the fourth quarter of 2008 which caused the market value of Park’s
investment securities to increase and produced the large unrealized holding
gain on AFS securities, net of income taxes, at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
The net unrealized holding gains on AFS securities, net of taxes, decreased by
$18.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 as interest rates increased in
November and December.

In accordance with GAAP, Park adjusts accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) to recognize the net actuarial gain or loss reflected in the
accounting for Park’s Pension Plan. See Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for information on the accounting for Park’s Pension Plan.

Pertaining to the Pension Plan, Park recognized a net comprehensive loss of
$2.4 million in 2010, a net comprehensive gain of $6.3 million in 2009 and a
net comprehensive loss of $16.2 million in 2008. The comprehensive loss in
2010 was primarily due to a change in actuarial assumptions, specifically the
discount rate. This actuarial loss more than offset the positive investment
returns and contributions to the Pension Plan in 2010. The comprehensive gain
in 2009 was due to positive investment returns and contributions to the Pension
Plan. The large comprehensive loss in 2008 was primarily due to the negative
investment return on Pension Plan assets in 2008, as a result of the poor
 performance of stock investments in 2008. At year-end 2010, the balance in
accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) pertaining to the Pension
Plan was ($15.9) million, compared to ($13.5) million at December 31, 2009
and ($19.8) million at December 31, 2008.

Park also recognized net comprehensive income/(loss) of ($0.1) million, 
$0.3 million and ($1.3) million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009
and 2008, respectively, due to the mark-to-market of the $25 million cash 
flow hedge. See Note 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
for information on the accounting for Park’s derivative instruments.

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

INVESTMENT OF FUNDS
Loans: Average loans were $4,642 million in 2010 compared to $4,594 
million in 2009 and $4,355 million in 2008. The average yield on loans was
5.80% in 2010 compared to 6.03% in 2009 and 6.93% in 2008. The average
prime lending rate in 2010 and 2009 was 3.25% compared to 5.09% in 2008.
Approximately 62% of Park’s loan balances mature or reprice within one year
(see Table 23). The yield on average loan balances for each quarter of 2010
was 5.73% for the fourth quarter, compared to 5.76% for the third quarter,
5.84% for the second quarter and 5.87% for the first quarter. Management
expects that the yield on the loan portfolio will decrease modestly in 2011
 compared to the average yield of 5.80% for 2010. Year-end loan balances
increased by $92 million or 2.0% in 2010 compared to 2009. Park’s Ohio-
based subsidiaries increased loans by $129 million or 3.2% during 2010.
Vision Bank had a decline in loans of $37 million or 5.4% during 2010.

In 2009, year-end loan balances increased by $149 million or 3.3%. Park’s
Ohio-based subsidiaries increased loans by $162 million or 4.3% during 2009.
Vision Bank had a small decline in loans of $13 million or 1.9% in 2009.

In 2008, year-end loan balances increased by $267 million or 6.3%. During the
fourth quarter of 2008, Park’s Ohio-based banking divisions sold $31 million 
of unsecured credit card balances. Exclusive of the sale of the credit card
 balances, year-end loan balances grew by $298 million or 7.0%. At Vision Bank,
year-end loan balances increased by $51 million or 8.0% during 2008 to $690
million. Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries increased loans by $216 million or
6.0% during 2008. Excluding the sale of the credit card balances, Park’s 
Ohio-based subsidiaries increased loans by $247 million or 6.9% in 2008.

A year ago, management projected that year-end loan balances would grow
approximately 1% to 3% in 2010. The actual loan growth of 2.0% was consis-
tent with this guidance. Management expects that loan growth for 2011 will
continue to be in the 1% to 3% range as the demand for loans continues to 
be moderate as the economy recovers slowly from the recent recession.

Year-end residential real estate loans were $1,692 million, $1,555 million and
$1,560 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Residential real estate
loans increased by $137 million or 8.8% in 2010, decreased by $5 million or
0.3% in 2009 and increased by $79 million or 5.3% during 2008. The increase
of $137 million in 2010 was primarily due to management’s decision to retain
15-year, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that were previously sold in the
secondary market. The balance of loans for this new product was $176 million
at December 31, 2010, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.82%.
Management expects these loans will be held to maturity. Management does not
expect any growth in residential real estate loans in 2011, as Park’s customers
will continue to favor 30-year, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans.

The long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loans that Park originates are
sold in the secondary market and Park typically retains the servicing on these
loans. As mentioned above, during 2010, Park began to retain 15-year, fixed-
rate mortgage loans. The balance of sold fixed-rate residential mortgage loans
decreased by $47 million or 3.1% to $1,471 million at year-end 2010, com-
pared to $1,518 million at year-end 2009 and $1,369 million at year-end 2008.
Due to low long-term interest rates in 2009 and 2010, the demand for fixed-
rate residential mortgage loans was extraordinary. Park originated and sold
$358 million of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in 2010 compared to
$615 million in 2009, and $161 million in 2008. Additionally, as previously
 discussed, Park originated and retained $176 million of 15-year, fixed-rate
 residential mortgages in 2010. During 2009, Park originated and retained $8
million of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. Management expects that the
loan origination volume of fixed-rate mortgage loans could decrease by 50% 
or more in 2011. The balance of sold fixed-rate residential mortgage loans 
is expected to increase by 1% to 3% in 2011.

Year-end consumer loans were $667 million, $704 million and $643 million in
2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Consumer loans decreased by $37 million
or 5.3% in 2010, primarily due to a decline in automobile loans originated in
Ohio, as competition for automobile loans increased throughout the year.

Consumer loans increased by $61 million or 9.5% in 2009 and increased by
$50 million or 8.4% in 2008. The increases in consumer loans for 2009 and
2008 were primarily due to an increase in automobile loans originated through
automobile dealers in Ohio. Management expects that consumer loans will
decrease by 1% to 3% in 2011.

On a combined basis, year-end commercial, financial and agricultural loans,
real estate construction loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $2,371
million, $2,377 million and $2,284 million at year-end 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. These combined loan totals declined by $6 million or 0.3% in
2010, increased by $93 million or 4.1% in 2009 and increased by $141 
million or 6.6% in 2008. Management expects that commercial, financial 
and agricultural loans, real estate construction loans and commercial real
estate loans will grow by 1% to 3% in 2010.

Year-end lease balances were $3 million in both 2010 and 2009 and $4 
million in 2008. Management continues to de-emphasize leasing and expects
the balance to further decline in 2011.

Investment Securities: Park’s investment securities portfolio is structured 
to minimize credit risk, provide liquidity and contribute to earnings. Park’s
investment strategy is dynamic. As conditions change over time, Park’s overall
interest rate risk,  liquidity needs and potential return on the investment portfo-
lio will change. Management regularly evaluates the securities in the investment
portfolio as  circumstances evolve. Circumstances that could result in the sale of
a security include: to better manage interest rate risk; to meet liquidity needs;
or to improve the overall yield in the investment portfolio.

Park classifies most of its securities as AFS (see Note 4 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). These securities are carried on the books
at their estimated fair value with the unrealized holding gain or loss, net of
federal taxes, accounted for as accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) which is part of the Corporation’s equity. The securities that are classified
as AFS are free to be sold in future periods in carrying out Park’s investment
strategies.

Generally, Park classifies U.S. Government Agency collateralized mortgage
 obligations (“CMOs”) that it purchases as held-to-maturity. A classification of
held-to-maturity means that Park has the positive intent and the ability to hold
these securities until maturity. Park classifies CMOs as held-to-maturity because
these securities are generally not as liquid as the U.S. Government Agency

 mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government Agency notes that Park
 classifies as AFS. At year-end 2010, Park’s held-to-maturity securities portfolio
was $674 million, compared to $507 million at year-end 2009 and $428
million at year-end 2008. Park purchased $314 million of CMOs in 2010, 
$119 million of CMOs in 2009 and $270 million of CMOs in 2008. All of the
mortgage-backed securities and CMOs in Park’s investment portfolio were
issued by a U.S. Government Agency.

Average taxable investment securities were $1,730 million in 2010, compared
to $1,848 million in 2009 and $1,756 million in 2008. The average yield on
taxable securities was 4.44% in 2010, compared to 4.90% in 2009 and 5.00%
in 2008. Average tax-exempt investment securities were $17 million in 2010,
compared to $30 million in 2009 and $45 million in 2008. The average tax-
equivalent yield on tax-exempt investment securities was 7.24% in 2010,
compared to 7.45% in 2009 and 6.90% in 2008. 

Year-end total investment securities (at amortized cost) were $2,017 million 
in 2010, $1,817 million in 2009 and $2,010 million in 2008. Management
 purchased investment securities totaling $3,033 million in 2010, $469 million
in 2009 and $693 million in 2008. The significant increase in purchases 
during 2010 was largely due to the purchase of $1,319 million of 28-day 
U.S. Government Agency discount notes and $823 million of U.S. Government
Agency callable notes. Proceeds from repayments and maturities of investment
securities were $2,385 million in 2010, $467 million in 2009 and $310 million
in 2008. The increase in proceeds from repayments and maturities in 2010 
was primarily due to the 28-day U.S. Government Agency discount notes and 
U.S. Government Agency callable notes, which had repayments or maturities of
$1,319 million and $710 million, respectively during the year. Proceeds from
sales of AFS securities were $460 million in 2010, $204 million in 2009 and
$81 million in 2008. Park realized net security gains on a pre-tax basis of 
$11.9 million in 2010, $7.3 million in 2009 and $1.1 million in 2008. 

During 2010, Park sold investment securities during the first, second and 
fourth quarters. In total, these sales resulted in proceeds of $460.2 million 
and a pre-tax gain of $11.9 million. 

During the first quarter of 2010, Park sold $200.7 million of U.S. Government
Agency mortgage-backed securities for a pre-tax gain of $8.3 million. These
mortgage-backed securities had a weighted average remaining life of approxi-
mately 3 years, a weighted average book yield of 4.75% and were sold at an
average price of 103.7% of the principal balance with an estimated yield to the
buyer of 2.99%. Additionally, Park sold $75 million of U.S. Government Agency
callable notes for no gain or loss in the first quarter to reduce the extension
risk in the investment securities portfolio in the case of interest rate increases 
in the future. These securities had a book yield of 4.25% and a final maturity 
in approximately 9 years.

During the second quarter of 2010, Park sold $57 million of U.S. Government
Agency mortgage-backed securities for a pre-tax gain of $3.5 million. These
mortgage-backed securities had a weighted average remaining life of approxi-
mately 3 years, a weighted average book yield of 4.64% and were sold at an
average price of 105.8% of the principal balance with an estimated yield to 
the buyer of 2.08%.

During the fourth quarter of 2010, Park sold $115.8 million of U.S. Government
Agency callable notes for a small gain of $45,000. These securities had a book
yield of 3.37% and a final maturity in approximately 10 years.

During the second quarter of 2009, Park sold U.S. Government Agency
 mortgage-backed securities with a book value of $197 million, for proceeds 
of $204.3 million and a pre-tax gain of $7.3 million. These securities had a
book yield of 4.70% and a weighted average remaining life of about 3 years.
These mortgage-backed securities were sold at a price of approximately
103.2% of par with an estimated yield to the buyer of 3.33%.

During the first quarter of 2011, Park sold approximately $105 million of 
U.S. Government Agency mortgage-backed securities for a pre-tax gain of $6.6
million. These securities were sold at a price of approximately 106.2% of par
with an estimated yield to the buyer of 2.10%. The book yield on these mort-
gage-backed securities is approximately 5.02%. Management expects to reinvest
the proceeds from the sale of the mortgage-backed securities late in the first
quarter of 2011.

At year-end 2010 and 2009, the average tax-equivalent yield on the total invest-
ment portfolio was 4.01% and 4.87%, respectively. The weighted average
remaining maturity was 3.6 years at December 31, 2010 and 3.5 years at
December 31, 2009. U.S. Government Agency asset-backed securities were
approximately 82% of the total investment portfolio at year-end 2010 and were
approximately 76% of the total investment portfolio at year-end 2009. This
segment of the investment portfolio consists of 15-year mortgage-backed
 securities and CMOs.

The average maturity of the investment portfolio would lengthen if long-term
interest rates would increase as the principal repayments from mortgage-
backed securities and CMOs would be reduced and callable U.S. Government
Agency notes would extend to their maturity dates. At year-end 2010, manage-
ment estimated that the average maturity of the investment portfolio would
lengthen to 6.0 years with a 100 basis point increase in long-term interest rates
and to 6.6 years with a 200 basis point increase in long-term interest rates.
Likewise, the average maturity of the investment portfolio would shorten 
if long-term interest rates would decrease as the principal repayments from
mortgage-backed securities and CMOs would increase as borrowers would
 refinance their mortgage loans and the callable U.S. Government Agency notes
would shorten to their call dates. At year-end 2010, management estimated that
the average maturity of the investment portfolio would decrease to 2.2 years
with a 100 basis point decrease in long-term interest rates and to 1.6 years 
with a 200 basis point decrease in long-term interest rates.

ANALYSIS OF EARNINGS
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. (See Table 9 for three years of history on the average balances 
of the balance sheet categories and the average rates earned on interest earning
assets and the average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.)

(1) Loan income includes loan related fee income of $9 in 2010, $1,372 in 2009 and $4,650 in 2008. Loan income also includes the effects of taxable equivalent adjustments using a 35% tax rate in 2010,

2009 and 2008. The taxable equivalent adjustment was $1,614 in 2010, $1,294 in 2009 and $763 in 2008.

(2) For the purpose of the computation, nonaccrual loans are included in the daily average loans  outstanding.

(3)

Interest income on tax-exempt investment securities includes the effects of taxable equivalent adjustments using a 35% tax rate in 2010, 2009 and 2008. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $434 in
2010, $788 in 2009 and $964 in 2008.

(4)

Includes subordinated debenture and subordinated notes.

Net interest income increased slightly by $553,000 or 0.2% to $274.0 million
for 2010 compared to an increase of $17.6 million or 6.9% to $273.5 million
for 2009. The tax equivalent net yield on interest earning assets was 4.26% for
2010 compared to 4.22% for 2009 and 4.16% for 2008. The net interest rate
spread (the difference between rates received for interest earning assets and 
the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities) was 4.01% for 2010, compared to
3.94% for 2009 and 3.82% for 2008. The small increase in net interest income
in 2010 was due to the increase in the net interest spread to 4.01% from
3.94%. The average balance of interest earning assets decreased slightly by $42
million or 0.7% to $6,482 million in 2010. In 2009, the increase in net interest
income was primarily due to the increase in average interest earning assets of
$353 million or 5.7% to $6,524 million and to an increase in the net interest
spread to 3.94% from 3.82% in 2008. 

The average yield on interest earning assets was 5.36% in 2010 compared to
5.67% in 2009 and 6.37% in 2008. The average federal funds rate for 2010 
was 0.18%, compared to an average rate of 0.16% in 2009 and 1.93% in 2008.
On a quarterly basis for 2010, the average yield on interest earning assets was
5.23% for the fourth quarter, 5.34% for the third quarter, 5.44% for the second
quarter and 5.45% for the first quarter. Management expects that the average
yield on interest earning assets will also slightly decrease in 2011, similar to 
the decrease in 2010.

The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 1.35% in 2010,
 compared to 1.73% in 2009 and 2.55% in 2008. On a quarterly basis for 
2010, the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 1.21% for the
fourth quarter, 1.29% for the third quarter, 1.40% for the second quarter 
and 1.49% for the first quarter. Management expects that the average rate 
paid on interest bearing liabilities will modestly decrease in 2011, similar 
to the decrease in 2010.

Management expects that average interest earnings assets will be approximately
$6,550 million for 2011. Management expects that net interest income will be
$268 to $278 million in 2011 and that the tax equivalent net interest margin
will be approximately 4.10% to 4.20% in 2011. (Please see the “Summary
Discussion of Operating Results for Park” section of this Financial Review for 
a comparison of 2010 results to management’s projections from a year ago.)

The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to
volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute 
dollar amounts of the change in each.

$77.5 million in 2010 compared to a decrease of $3.6 million or 4.3% to 
$81.2 million in 2009. Park’s total other income in 2008 was positively
impacted by two “one-time” items totaling $14.9 million. The “one-time”
 positive items in 2008 were $3.1 million of revenue recognized as a result 
of the initial public offering of Visa, Inc. and an aggregate of $11.8 million of
revenue which resulted from the sale of the unsecured credit card balances 
and the sale of the merchant processing business. In 2009, Park’s total other
income included a “one-time” positive item of $3.0 million from the sale of all
the Class B shares of stock that Park received from the initial public offering of
Visa, Inc.

Income from fiduciary activities increased by $1.4 million or 11.3% to $13.9

2009. The increase in fiduciary fee income in 2010 was primarily due to the
improvement in the equity markets during the year compared to 2009 and also
due to an increase in the total accounts served by Park’s Trust department. Park
charges fiduciary fees based on the market value of the assets being managed.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average stock index annual average was 11,244 for
calendar 2008, 8,885 for calendar year 2009, and 10,669 for calendar year
2010. The market value of the assets that Park manages was $3.3 billion 
at December 31, 2010 compared to $3.1 billion at December 31, 2009 
and $2.7 billion at December 31, 2008. Management expects an increase 
of approximately 5% in fee income from fiduciary activities in 2011.
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $2.3 million or 10.3% to
$19.7 million in 2010 and decreased by $2.3 million or 9.5% to $22.0 million
in 2009. The decrease in service charge income in 2010 was primarily due to 
a decrease in fee income from overdraft charges and other non-sufficient funds
(NSF) charges. Park’s customers did not use our courtesy overdraft program as
frequently in 2010 and, as a result, this fee income decreased by $2.0 million
or 11.6% in 2010 compared to 2009. Management expects that revenue from
service charges on deposits in 2011 will be within a range of $18 million to 
$20 million.
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
decreased by $5.0 million, or 26.4%, to $13.8 million in 2010. This large
decrease was due to a decline in the volume of fixed-rate residential mortgage
loans that Park originated and sold into the secondary market in 2010 com-
pared to 2009. The amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans originated and sold in
2010 was $358 million, compared to $615 million in 2009 and $161 million 
in 2008. Additionally, as previously discussed, Park originated and retained
$176 million of 15-year, fixed-rate residential mortgages in 2010. During 2009,
Park originated and retained $8 million of fixed-rate residential mortgage
loans. In 2009, other service income increased by $9.9 million or 111.3% 
to $18.8 million, which was related to the aforementioned increase in fixed-rate
mortgage loans originated and sold in 2009. Park’s management expects that
the volume of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans will continue to decline 
in 2011 and as a result expects that other service income will decrease by
approximately $2 million or 14% in 2011.
Checkcard fee income, which is generated from debit card transactions
increased $1.8 million or 19.7% to $11.2 million in 2010. During 2009, 
checkcard fee income increased $644,000 or 7.4% to $9.3 million. The
increases in both 2010 and 2009 were attributable to continued increases in
the volume of debit card transactions. Park’s management expects checkcard
fee income will decline by approximately $2 million or 18% in 2011, as all
banks are likely to experience some impact related to the Durbin Amendment
that became a part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act.

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

OREO devaluations, which result from declines in the fair value (less
 anticipated selling costs) of property acquired through foreclosure, increased
$3.8 million or 55.3% to $10.6 million in 2010. The increase in OREO
 devaluations was primarily due to devaluations of other real estate owned at
Vision Bank. These devaluations were $8.8 million in 2010 compared to $6.1
million in 2009. Park’s management expects that OREO devaluations will be 
less significant in 2011 as property values throughout Park’s footprint are
expected to stabilize throughout the 2011 year.

The subcategory of “Other” income includes fees earned from the sale of
 official checks and printed checks, rental fee income from safe deposit boxes
and other miscellaneous income. Total other income decreased by $268,000 
or 2.7% to $9.7 million in 2010 and decreased by $12.7 million or 56.0% to
$10.0 million in 2009. The large decrease in 2009 was primarily due to the 
two “one-time” revenue items in 2008 which totaled $14.9 million. Park also
had a $3.0 million positive “one-time” revenue item in 2009. Park’s manage-
ment expects 2011 revenue within the subcategory of other income will be
consistent with the results experienced in 2010.

Park recognized net gains from the sale of investment securities of $11.9
million in 2010, $7.3 million in 2009 and $1.1 million in 2008. As previously
discussed, Park expects to recognize a gain of approximately $6.6 million from
the sale of securities in the first quarter of 2011.

A year ago, Park’s management forecast that total other income, excluding gains
from the sale of securities, would be approximately $68 million for 2010. The
actual performance was below our estimate by $2.4 million or 3.5% at $65.6
million. For 2011, Park’s management expects that total other income, exclud-
ing gains from the sale of securities, will be approximately $63 million to $67
million.

Other Expense: Total other expense was $187.1 million in 2010, compared to
$188.7 million in 2009 and $234.5 million in 2008. Total other expense
included a goodwill impairment charge of $55.0 million in 2008. Total other
expense decreased by $1.6 million, or 0.9%, to $187.1 million in 2010.
Excluding the goodwill impairment charge in 2008, total other expense
increased by $9.2 million or 5.1% to $188.7 million in 2009.

The following table displays total other expense for Park in 2010, 2009 and
2008.

Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased by $2.9 million or 2.9% to
$98.3 million in 2010 and increased by $2.2 million or 2.2% to $101.2 million
in 2009. The decrease in 2010 was primarily related to lower employee benefit
costs, as pension plan expense decreased approximately $2.4 million. Full-time
equivalent employees at year-end 2010 were 1,969, compared to 2,024 at 
year-end 2009 and 2,051 at year-end 2008. A year ago, Park’s management
 projected that salaries and benefit expense would be $102 million for 2010.

The actual performance for the year was $3.7 million or 3.6% lower than the
estimate. For 2011, management is projecting salaries and employee benefits
expense to increase by $3.7 million or 3.7% to $102 million for the year.

Vision Bank recorded goodwill impairment charges of $55.0 million in 2008.
See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion 
of the goodwill impairment charges. Vision Bank did not have any remaining
goodwill at year-end 2008.

Fees and service charges increased by $4.0 million or 25.3% to $20.0 million
in 2010 and increased by $3.1 million or 24.5% to $15.9 million in 2009. This
subcategory of total other expense includes legal fees, management consulting
fees, director fees, audit fees, regulatory examination fees and memberships in
industry associations. The large increase in fees and service charges expense in
both 2009 and 2010 was primarily due to an increase in legal fees and consult-
ing fees. This additional expense was primarily related to an increase in costs
associated with the workout of problem loans at Park’s Vision Bank subsidiary.
Park’s management expects that fees and service charges will be approximately
$17 million to $19 million in 2011.

Insurance expense decreased by $3.1 million or 25.6% to $9.0 million in 
2010 and increased by $9.8 million or 419% to $12.1 million in 2009. The
decrease in 2010 and the increase in insurance expense in 2009 were primarily
due to changes in FDIC insurance expense. In 2010, FDIC insurance expense
decreased by $3.0 million to $8.0 million and in 2009, FDIC insurance expense
increased by $9.5 million to $11.0 million. Park’s management expects that
insurance expense will be between $6 million to $8 million in 2011.

The subcategory “other” expense includes expenses for supplies, travel,
 charitable contributions, amortization of low income housing tax investments,
expenses pertaining to other real estate owned and other miscellaneous
expenses. The subcategory other expense increased by $364,000 or 2.4% to
$15.3 million in 2010 and decreased by $3.4 million or 18.4% to $14.9 million
in 2009. The decrease in the subcategory other expense in 2009 was primarily
due to a $1.9 million decrease to $2.2 million in other real estate owned
expense. 

A year ago, Park’s management projected that total other expense would be
approximately $191 million in 2010. The actual expense for the year of $187.1
million was $3.9 million or 2.0% lower than the estimate. This variance was
primarily due to lower than anticipated employee benefit costs. Management
expects that total other expense for 2011 will be approximately $183 million 
to $187 million.

Income Taxes: Federal income tax expense was $26.5 million in 2010,
 compared to $25.4 million in 2009 and $24.3 million in 2008. State income 
tax expense was a credit for each of the past three years of $(1.2) million in
2010, $(2.5) million in 2009 and $(2.3) million in 2008. State income tax
expense was a credit in 2010, 2009 and 2008, because Vision Bank had 
losses in all three years. Park performs an analysis to determine if a valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets is required in accordance with GAAP.
Vision Bank is subject to state income tax in Alabama and Florida. In 2010, 
a state tax benefit of $1.16 million was recorded by Vision Bank, consisting 
of a gross benefit of $2.26 million and a valuation allowance of $1.10 million
($712,000 net of the federal income tax benefit). Management has determined
that the likelihood of realizing the full deferred tax asset on state net operating
loss  carryforwards fails to meet the “more likely than not” level. The net
 operating loss carryforward period for the states of Alabama and Florida are 
8 years and 20 years, respectively. A merger of Vision Bank into Park National
Bank would ensure the future utilization of the state net operating loss  carry -
forward at Vision Bank. However, management is not certain when a merger 
of Vision Bank into Park National Bank can take place and as a result has
decided not to record the additional state tax benefit of losses at Vision Bank
until management has a better understanding of the timing and likelihood of 
a merger of Vision Bank into Park National Bank. Park and its Ohio-based

39

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

 subsidiaries do not pay state income tax 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 total other expense on Park’s Consolidated Statements of
Income.

Federal income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes was 
26.6% in 2010, compared to 26.2% in 2009 and 68.1% in 2008. The goodwill
impairment charge of $55.0 million in 2008 reduced income tax expense by
approximately $1 million. For 2008, the percentage of federal income tax
expense to income before taxes (adjusted for the goodwill impairment charges)
was 26.8%.

A lower federal effective tax rate than the statutory rate of 35% is primarily due
to tax-exempt interest income from state and municipal investments and loans,
low income housing tax credits and income from bank owned life insurance.
Park’s management expects that the federal effective income tax rate for 2011
will be approximately 26% to 28%. 

CREDIT EXPERIENCE
Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses is the amount
added to the allowance for loan losses to absorb future loan charge-offs. The
amount of the loan loss provision is determined by management after reviewing
the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, historic and current loan loss
experience and current economic conditions. 

The provision for loan losses was $64.9 million in 2010, $68.8 million in 2009
and $70.5 million in 2008. Net loan charge-offs were $60.2 million in 2010,
$52.2 million in 2009 and $57.5 million in 2008. The ratio of net loan charge-
offs to average loans was 1.30% in 2010, 1.14% in 2009 and 1.32% in 2008.

The loan loss provision for Vision Bank was $39.2 million in 2010, $44.4
million in 2009 and $47.0 million in 2008. Net loan charge-offs for Vision Bank
were $36.6 million in 2010, $28.9 million in 2009 and $38.5 million in 2008.
Vision Bank’s ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 5.48% in 2010,
4.18% in 2009 and 5.69% in 2008.

Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries had a combined loan loss provision of $25.7
million in 2010, $24.4 million in 2009 and $23.5 million in 2008. Net loan
charge-offs for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries were $23.6 million in 2010,
$23.3 million in 2009 and $19.0 million in 2008. The net loan charge-off ratio
for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries was 0.60% for both 2010 and 2009 and
0.52% for 2008.

At year-end 2010, the allowance for loan losses was $121.4 million or 2.57% 
of total loans outstanding, compared to $116.7 million or 2.52% of total loans
outstanding at year-end 2009 and $100.1 million or 2.23% of total loans out-
standing at year-end 2008. The increase in the allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans outstanding over the past three years is primarily due
to an increase in specific reserves established for impaired commercial loans.
As these impaired loans are resolved, management expects the allowance for
loan losses as a percentage of total loans will return to historic levels. The table
below provides additional information related to specific reserves on impaired
commercial loans and general reserves for all other loans in Park’s portfolio 
at December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at year-end 2010 is
 adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. See
Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the discussion
under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” earlier in this Financial Review
for additional information on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses.

Management expects the loan loss provision for 2011 will be approximately 
$47 million to $57 million. This estimate reflects management’s expectation
that: (1) future declines in collateral values will be moderate as the economy
continues to improve and pricing stabilizes throughout 2011 and (2) new 
nonperforming loans, specifically new nonperforming commercial land and
development (“CL&D”) loans at Vision Bank, will continue to decline in 2011.
As discussed within the remainder of the credit experience section, Vision
Bank’s performing CL&D loan portfolio has declined significantly over the past
three years. This estimated range could change significantly as circumstances
for individual loans and economic conditions change.

A year ago, management projected the provision for loan losses would be $45
million to $55 million in 2010. As discussed throughout the remainder of this
“Credit Experience” section, the primary reasons that the provision for loan
losses was greater than management’s projection were declines in collateral
values for those loans that are collateral dependent and higher than anticipated
new nonperforming loans. The table below provides a summary of the loan loss
experience over the past five years:

As of December 31, 2010, Park had no significant concentrations of loans to
borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries nor did Park have any
loans to foreign governments.

Nonperforming Assets: Nonperforming loans include: 1) loans whose
 interest is accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; 2) renegotiated loans not
 currently on nonaccrual; and 3) loans which are contractually past due 90 
days or more as to principal or interest payments but whose interest continues
to accrue. Management’s policy is to place all renegotiated loans (troubled 
debt restructurings) on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2010, there were
$80.7 million of troubled debt restructurings included in nonaccrual loan
totals. Many of these troubled debt restructurings are performing under the
renegotiated terms. Management will continue to review the renegotiated 
loans and may determine it appropriate to move certain of these loans back 
to accrual status in the second half of 2011 if the loans perform in accordance
with their restructured terms. Other real estate owned results from taking
 possession of property used as collateral for a defaulted loan.

The following is a summary of Park National Corporation’s nonaccrual loans,
renegotiated loans not currently on nonaccrual, loans past due 90 days or more
and still accruing and other real estate owned for the last five years:

Tax equivalent interest income from loans for 2010 was $269.3 million. 
Park has forgone interest income of approximately $19.5 million from  non -
accrual loans as of December 31, 2010 that would have been earned during 
the year if all loans had performed in accordance with their original terms.

Economic conditions began deteriorating during the second half of 2007 
and continued throughout 2008 and 2009. While conditions across the U.S.
improved slightly in 2010, the economic recovery continues to be a slow
process. Park and many other financial institutions throughout the country
experienced a sharp increase in net loan charge-offs and nonperforming 
loans over the past three years. Financial institutions operating in Florida and
Alabama (including Vision Bank) have been particularly hard hit by the severe
recession as the demand for real estate and the price of real estate have sharply
decreased.

Park had $238.7 million of commercial loans included on the watch list of
potential problem commercial loans at December 31, 2010 compared to
$277.7 million at year-end 2009 and $243.2 million at year-end 2008.
Commercial loans include: (1) commercial, financial and agricultural loans;
(2) commercial real estate loans; (3) certain real estate construction loans;
and (4) certain residential real estate loans. Park’s watch list includes all
 criticized and classified commercial loans, defined by Park as loans rated
special mention or worse, less those commercial loans currently considered 
to be impaired. As a percentage of year-end total loans, Park’s watch list of
potential problem loans was 5.0% in 2010, 6.0% in 2009 and 5.4% in 2008.
The existing conditions of these loans do not warrant classification as  non -
accrual. However, these loans have shown some weakness and management
performs additional analyses regarding a borrower’s ability to comply with
payment terms for watch list loans.

Park’s allowance for loan losses includes an allocation for loans specifically
identified as impaired under GAAP. At December 31, 2010, loans considered to
be impaired consisted substantially of commercial loans graded as “doubtful”
and placed on non-accrual status. During 2009, management made a change 
in accounting estimate (as defined under GAAP) for the estimation of allowance
for loan losses. Based on escalating losses within the Vision Bank CL&D loan
portfolio, management determined that it was necessary to segregate this
portion of the portfolio for both impaired CL&D credits, as well as performing
CL&D loans. Management continued to utilize this methodology throughout
2010. From the date Park acquired Vision (March 9, 2007) through December
31, 2010, Vision had cumulative charge-offs within the CL&D loan portfolio of
$71.0 million. Additionally, at December 31, 2010, management had estab-
lished a specific reserve of $23.6 million related to those CL&D loans at Vision
Bank that are deemed to be impaired. The aggregate of charge-offs in the CL&D
loan portfolio since acquisition, along with the specific reserves on impaired
CL&D loans at December 31, 2010, totaled $94.6 million, compared to $73.0
million at December 31, 2009. Total provision expense for Vision Bank since
the date of acquisition through December 31, 2010 has been $150.0 million,
compared to $110.8 million through December 31, 2009. The magnitude of the
losses coming from the CL&D loan portfolio at Vision, along with the continued
run-off of performing CL&D loans, led to the change in accounting estimate
made by management during 2009. The following table summarizes the CL&D
loan portfolio at Vision Bank:

At December 31, 2010, loans considered to be impaired under GAAP totaled
$250.9 million, after charge-offs of $53.6 million. At December 31, 2009,
impaired loans totaled $201.1 million, after charge-offs of $43.9 million. 
The specific allowance for loan losses related to these impaired loans was
$43.5 million at December 31, 2010 and $36.7 million at December 31, 2009.
At December 31, 2010, the impaired loans and related specific reserves are

The specific reserves discussed above are typically based on management’s 
best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing these loans or based on
projected future cash flows from the sale of the underlying collateral and
 payments from borrowers and guarantors. The amount ultimately charged-
off for these loans may be different from the specific reserve as the ultimate
 liquidation of the collateral and/or projected cash flows may be for amounts
different from management’s estimates.

We have listed in the table below the year-end 2009 and the quarterly and 
year-end 2010 information pertaining to the provision for loan losses, net 
loan charge-offs, nonperforming loans and the allowance for loan losses:

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 (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, are considered to represent higher credit risk 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 December 31, 2010, management had taken partial charge-offs of
approximately $53.6 million ($37.3 million for Vision Bank) related to the
$250.9 million of commercial loans considered to be impaired, compared 
to charge-offs of approximately $43.9 million ($30.2 million for Vision Bank)
related to the $201.1 million of impaired commercial loans at December 31,
2009. Historically, Park’s management has been quick to recognize charge-offs
on problem loans. However, there is a higher level of uncertainty when valuing
collateral or projecting cash flows in Vision Bank’s Florida and Alabama
markets due to the illiquid nature of the collateral. In April 2009, Park 
engaged a third-party specialist to assist in the resolution of impaired loans at
Vision Bank. Management is pleased with the success this third-party specialist
experienced in the second half of 2009 and throughout 2010, as they have
helped maximize the value of the impaired loans at Vision Bank. We expect to
continue utilizing this third-party specialist through 2011 and thereafter, until
such point in time that Vision Bank’s impaired loan portfolio shows sustained
improvement.

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. As
 previously discussed, during 2009, management segregated the Vision Bank
CL&D loans from other commercial loans that are still accruing. The Vision
CL&D loans that are still accruing at December 31, 2010 totaled $84.5 million
compared to $132.4 million at December 31, 2009. Park’s loss experience,
defined as charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves, on CL&D loans for 
the last 36 months was an annual rate of 12.16%. Management has allocated an
allowance for loan losses to the $84.5 million of accruing CL&D loans based on
this historical loss experience, judgmentally increased to cover approximately
1.25 years of probable incurred losses, for a total reserve of $12.6 million or

42

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

14.92%. Further, we have allocated 14.92% to the $84.5 million of CL&D loans,
regardless of the current loan grade, as this portion of the loan portfolio has
experienced significant declines in collateral values, and thus if management
determines that borrowers are unable to pay in accordance with the contractual
terms of the loan agreement, significant specific reserves have typically been
necessary. Park’s 36-month loss experience, defined as charge-offs plus
changes in specific reserves, within the remaining commercial loan portfolio
(excluding Vision Bank’s CL&D loans) has been 1.13% of the principal balance
of these loans. Park’s management believes it is appropriate to cover approxi-
mately 1.5 years worth of probable incurred losses within the other commercial
loan portfolio, thus the total reserve for loan losses is $43.6 million or 1.77% 
of the outstanding principal balance of other accruing commercial loans at
December 31, 2010. The overall reserve of 1.77% for other accruing commer-
cial loans breaks down as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved 
at 1.18%; special mention commercial loans are reserved at 4.16%; and sub-
standard commercial loans are reserved at 12.48%.

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 36 months, judgmentally increased
to cover approximately 1.5 years of probable incurred losses. 

The judgmental increases discussed above incorporates management’s
 evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose
 additional risks and assigns a component of the allowance for loan losses 
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; levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies,
impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries. The determination of this
 component of the allowance for loan losses requires considerable management
judgment. As always, management is working to address weaknesses in those
loans that may result in future loss. Actual loss experience may be more or less
than the amount allocated.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management: Park’s objective in
managing its liquidity is to maintain the ability to continuously meet the cash
flow needs of customers, such as borrowings or deposit withdrawals, while at
the same time seeking higher yields from longer-term lending and investing
activities.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $25.3 million during 2010 to $133.8
million at year-end. Cash provided by operating activities was $126.1 million in
2010, $72.3 million in 2009 and $91.1 million in 2008. Net income (adjusted
for the goodwill impairment charge in 2008) was the primary source of cash
for operating activities during each year. The goodwill impairment charge 
of $55 million in 2008 did not impact cash or cash provided by operating
 activities.

Cash used in investing activities was $352.1 million in 2010, $5.3 million in
2009 and $635.0 million in 2008. Investment security transactions are the
major use or source of cash in investing activities. Proceeds from the sale,
repayment or maturity of securities provide cash and purchases of securities
use cash. Net security transactions used cash of $187.7 million in 2010, pro-
vided cash of $202.6 million in 2009 and used cash of $304.8 million in 2008.
Another major use or source of cash in investing activities is the net increase 
or decrease in the loan portfolio. Cash used by the net increase in the loan
 portfolio, including proceeds from the sale of loans, was $152.5 million in
2010, $199.9 million in 2009 and $351.3 million in 2008. 

Cash provided by financing activities was $200.6 million in 2010 and $521.8
million in 2008. For 2009, financing activities used cash of $79.2 million. 
A major source of cash for financing activities is the net change in deposits. 
In 2010, deposits decreased and used $92.6 million of cash. In 2009 and 2008,
deposits increased and provided cash of $426.3 million and $322.5 million,
respectively. Another major source of cash for financing activities is short-term
borrowings and long-term debt. In 2010, net short-term borrowings provided
$339.5 million in cash and net long-term borrowings used $17.6 million in
cash. In 2009, net short-term borrowings used $335.0 million in cash and net
long-term borrowings used $201.2 million in cash. In 2008, net short-term
borrowings used $100.1 million in cash and net long-term borrowings pro-
vided $265.1 million in cash. Park’s management generated cash in both 2010
and 2009 from the sale of common stock previously held as treasury shares.
The sale of common stock in 2010 provided cash of $33.5 million in 2010 and
$53.5 million in 2009. Additionally, $35.3 million of cash was provided in 2009
from the issuance of subordinated notes and in 2008, cash of $100 million was
provided from the issuance of Series A Preferred Shares.

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 present funding sources
provide more than adequate liquidity for Park to meet its cash flow needs.

Investment securities and loans that are subject to prepayment are shown in the table by the
earlier of their repricing date or their expected repayment dates and not by their contractual
 maturity. Nonaccrual loans of $289.3 million are included within the three to twelve month
 maturity.

(2) Management considers interest bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts to be core 

deposits and, therefore, not as rate sensitive as other deposit accounts and borrowed money.
 Accordingly, only 52% of interest bearing transaction accounts and 24% of savings accounts 
are  considered to reprice within one year. If all of the interest bearing checking accounts and
savings  accounts were considered to reprice within one year, the one year cumulative gap
would change from a positive 9.53% to a negative 9.63%.

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

The interest rate sensitivity gap analysis provides a good overall picture of
Park’s static interest rate risk position. Park’s policy is that the twelve month
cumulative gap position should not exceed fifteen percent of interest earning
assets for three consecutive quarters. At December 31, 2010, the cumulative
interest earning assets maturing or repricing within twelve months were 
$3,649 million compared to the cumulative interest bearing liabilities maturing
or repricing within twelve months of $3,001 million. For the twelve-month
cumulative gap position, rate sensitive assets exceed rate sensitive liabilities 
by $648 million or 9.5% of interest earning assets. 

A positive twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap (assets exceed liabilities)
would suggest that Park’s net interest margin would increase if interest rates
were to increase. Conversely, a negative twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity
gap would suggest that Park’s net interest margin would decrease if interest
rates were to decrease. However, the usefulness of the interest sensitivity gap
analysis as a forecasting tool in projecting net interest income is limited. The
gap analysis does not consider the magnitude, timing or frequency by which
assets or liabilities will reprice during a period and also contains assumptions
as to the repricing of transaction and savings accounts that may not prove to 
be correct.

A year ago, the cumulative twelve month interest rate sensitivity gap position at
year-end 2009 was a positive $525 million or 8.0% of interest earning assets.
The percentage of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within one 
year was 53.7% at year-end 2010 compared to 51.7% at year-end 2009. The
percentage of interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year
was 54.2% at year-end 2010 compared to 53.4% at year-end 2009.

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. Park’s
 management uses an earnings simulation model to analyze net interest income
sensitivity to movements in interest rates. This model is based on actual cash
flows and repricing characteristics for balance sheet instruments and incorpo-
rates market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates
on the prepayment rate of certain assets and liabilities. This model also includes
management’s projections for activity levels of various balance sheet instru-
ments and noninterest fee income and operating expense. Assumptions based
on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes
in interest rates are also incorporated into this earnings simulation model.
These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot
precisely measure net interest income and net income. Actual results will differ
from simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate
changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

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. At December 31, 2010, the earnings simulation model projected that
net income would increase by 2.4% using a rising interest rate scenario and
decrease by 1.4% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. 
At December 31, 2009, the earnings simulation model projected that net
income would increase by 2.2% using a rising interest rate scenario and
decrease by 0.1% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year 
and at December 31, 2008, the earnings simulation model projected that net
income would increase by 0.6% using a rising interest rate scenario and
decrease by 3.3% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year.
Consistently, over the past several years, Park’s earnings simulation model has
projected that changes in interest rates would have only a small impact on net
income and the net interest margin. Park’s net interest margin has been rela-
tively stable over the past three years at 4.26% in 2010, 4.22% in 2009, and
4.16% in 2008. A major goal of Park’s asset/liability committee is to maintain 
a relatively stable net interest margin regardless of the level of interest rates.
Management expects that the net interest margin will be approximately 4.10%
to 4.20% in 2011.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
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. The following table summarizes Park’s
significant and determinable obligations by payment date at December 31,

The Corporation’s operating lease obligations represent short-term and 
long-term lease and rental payments for facilities and equipment. Purchase
obligations represent obligations under agreements to purchase goods or
 services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Corporation. 

Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-Balance Sheet
Arrangements: In order to meet the financing needs of its customers, 
the Corporation issues loan commitments and standby letters of credit. 
At December 31, 2010, the Corporation had $716.6 million of loan commit-
ments for commercial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate loans
and had $24.5 million of standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2009, the
Corporation had $955.3 million of loan commitments for commercial, com-
mercial real estate and residential real estate loans and had $36.3 million of
standby letters of credit.

Commitments to extend credit under loan commitments and standby letters 
of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These
 commitments often expire without being drawn upon. However, all of the 
loan commitments and standby letters of credit are permitted to be drawn 
upon in 2011. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
for additional information on loan commitments and standby letters of credit.

The Corporation did not have any unrecorded significant contingent liabilities 
at December 31, 2010.

Capital: Park’s primary means of maintaining capital adequacy is through  
net retained earnings. At December 31, 2010, the Corporation’s stockholders’
equity was $745.8 million, compared to $717.3 million at December 31, 2009.
Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2010 was 10.22% of total assets com-
pared to 10.19% of total assets at December 31, 2009. During 2010, Park
issued an aggregate of 509,184 common shares previously held as treasury
shares, at a weighted average purchase price per share of $67.99, for net
 proceeds of $33.5 million. 

Tangible stockholders’ equity (stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other
intangible assets) was $667.4 million at December 31, 2010 and was $635.5
million at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2010, tangible stockholders’
equity was 9.24% of total tangible assets (total assets less goodwill and other
intangible assets), compared to 9.13% at December 31, 2009.

F I N A N C I A L   R E V I E W

Tangible common equity (tangible stockholders’ equity less $100 million
related to the Series A Preferred Shares and warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury)
was $567.4 million at December 31, 2010 compared to $535.5 million at
December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2010, tangible common equity was
7.86% of tangible assets, compared to 7.69% at December 31, 2009.

Net income for 2010 and 2009 was $74.2 million and was $13.7 million in
2008. The net income for 2008 includes a goodwill impairment charge at
Vision Bank of $55.0 million. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge at
Vision Bank, net income for 2008 would have been $68.7 million.

Preferred stock dividends paid as a result of Park’s participation in the CPP
were $5.0 million in both 2010 and 2009, and $124,000 in 2008. Accretion of
the discount on the Series A Preferred Shares was $807,000 in 2010, $762,000
in 2009 and $18,000 in 2008. Income available to common shareholders is net
income less the preferred stock dividends and accretion. Income available to
common shareholders was $68.4 million for both 2010 and 2009, and $13.6
million in 2008 ($68.6 million excluding the goodwill impairment charge).

Cash dividends declared for common shares were $57.1 million in 2010, 
$53.6 million in 2009, and $52.6 million in 2008. On a per share basis, the
cash dividends declared were $3.76 per share in both 2010 and 2009, and
$3.77 per share in 2008.

Park did not purchase any treasury stock during 2010, 2009 or 2008. Treasury
stock had a balance in stockholders’ equity of $77.7 million at December 31,
2010, $125.3 million at December 31, 2009, and $207.7 million at December
31, 2008. During 2010, Park issued 437,200 shares of common stock as a
result of the exercise of warrants that were originally issued in 2009. Also
during 2010, Park issued 71,984 shares of common stock resulting in a total 
of 509,184 shares of common stock issued in 2010, which reduced the amount
of treasury stock available. The issuance of these shares out of treasury stock
reduced the value of treasury stock by the weighted average cost of $47.0
million. Additionally, the value of treasury stock was reduced by $634,000 
as a result of the issuance of an aggregate of 7,020 common shares to the
Board of Directors of Park and Park’s bank subsidiaries (and their divisions).
During 2009, Park issued 904,072 shares of common stock out of treasury
stock. The issuance of these shares out of treasury stock during 2009 resulted
in a reduction in treasury stock by the weighted average cost of $81.7 million.
Additionally, the value of treasury stock was reduced by $634,000 as a result of
the issuance of an aggregate of 7,020 common shares to directors of the Board
of Directors of Park and Park’s bank subsidiaries (and their divisions).

Park did not issue any new common shares (that were not already held in
 treasury stock, as discussed above) in either 2010 or 2009. However, in 2010,
Park recorded $0.2 million for the warrants that were issued as part of the
issuance of the 71,984 common shares discussed above and also recorded a
reduction of $1.1 million as warrants were either exercised or cancelled during
2010. In 2009, Park recorded $1.1 million for the common stock warrants that
were issued as part of the issuance of the 904,072 shares discussed above. In
2008, Park recorded $4.3 million for the common stock warrant as part of 
the issuance of $100 million of Series A Preferred Shares (see Note 1 and Note
25 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Common stock had a
balance in stockholders’ equity of $301.2 million at each of the years ended
December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was ($1.9) million at
December 31, 2010 compared to $15.7 million at December 31, 2009 and
$10.6 million at December 31, 2008. Long-term interest rates declined signifi-
cantly in the fourth quarter of 2007, continued declining in 2008 and remained
low throughout 2009. In 2010, long-term interest rates remained low through
the first three quarters, but then increased fairly significantly during the fourth
quarter. The net unrealized gain from investment securities was $31.6 million at
December 31, 2008. During the 2009 year, the change in net unrealized gains,
net of tax, was an increase of $3.3 million and Park realized after-tax gains of
$4.8 million, resulting in an unrealized gain of $30.1 million at December 31,
2009. During the 2010 year, the change in net unrealized gains, net of tax, was
a loss of $7.3 million and Park realized after-tax gains of $7.7 million, resulting
in an unrealized gain of $15.1 million at December 31, 2010. In addition, Park
recognized other comprehensive loss of $2.4 million related to the change in
Pension Plan assets and benefit obligations in 2010 compared to income of
$6.3 million in 2009 and a loss of $16.2 million in 2008. Finally, Park has
 recognized other comprehensive loss of $0.1 million in 2010 due to the  mark-
to-market of a cash flow hedge at December 31, 2010 compared to a $0.3
million increase in comprehensive income for the year ended December 31,
2009 and a $1.3 million comprehensive loss for 2008.

Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital
ratios for banks, thrifts, and bank holding companies. Park’s accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) is 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
is greater than or equal to 5%. Park’s leverage ratio was 9.77% at December
31, 2010 and exceeded the minimum capital required by $401 million. The
minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital divided 
by risk-adjusted assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is greater than or
equal to 6%. Park’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.52% at December 
31, 2010 and exceeded the minimum capital required by $478 million. The
minimum total risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital plus supple-
mental capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 8% and the well capitalized
ratio is greater than or equal to 10%. Park’s total risk-based capital ratio was
15.98% at December 31, 2010 and exceeded the minimum capital required 
by $401 million.

At December 31, 2010, Park exceeded the well capitalized regulatory guidelines
for bank holding companies. Park exceeded the well capitalized leverage capital
ratio of 5% by $331 million, exceeded the well capitalized Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 6% by $377 million and exceeded the well capitalized total 
risk-based capital ratio of 10% by $300 million.

The two financial institution subsidiaries of Park each met the well 
capitalized ratio guidelines at December 31, 2010. See Note 22 of the Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements for the capital ratios for Park and its 
two financial institution subsidiaries.

Effects of Inflation: Balance sheets of financial institutions typically contain
assets and liabilities that are monetary in nature and, therefore, differ greatly
from most commercial and industrial companies which have significant
 investments in premises, equipment and inventory. During periods of inflation,
financial institutions that are in a net positive monetary position will experience
a decline in purchasing power, which does have an impact on growth. Another
significant effect on internal equity growth is other expenses, which tend to rise
during periods of inflation.

Management believes the most significant impact on financial results is the
Corporation’s ability to align its asset/liability management program to react 
to changes in interest rates.

(x) Reported measure uses net income available to common shareholders.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Park’s management uses certain non-GAAP
(generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate
Park’s performance. Specifically, management reviews (i) net income available
to common shareholders before impairment charge, (ii) net income available
to common shareholders before impairment charge per common share-
diluted, (iii) return on average assets before impairment charge, (iv) return 
on average common equity before impairment charge, and (v) the ratio of
 noninterest expense excluding impairment charge to net revenue (collectively,
the “adjusted performance metrics”) and has included in this annual report
 information relating to the adjusted performance metrics for the twelve-month
period ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Management believes the adjusted
performance metrics present a more reasonable view of Park’s operating
 performance and ensures comparability of operating performance from 
period to period while eliminating the one-time non-recurring impairment
charges. Park has provided reconciliations of the GAAP measures to the
adjusted performance metrics solely for the purpose of complying with SEC
Regulation G and not as an indication that the adjusted performance metrics 
are a substitute for other measures determined by GAAP.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
Table 29 compares the total return performance for Park common 
shares with the NYSE Amex Composite Index, the NASDAQ Bank Stocks 
Index and the SNL Financial Bank and Thrift Index for the five-year period 
from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2010. The NYSE Amex Composite
Index is a market  capitalization-weighted index of the stocks listed on NYSE
Amex. The NASDAQ Bank Stocks Index is comprised of all depository institu-
tions, holding com panies and other investment companies that are traded on
The NASDAQ Global Select and Global Markets. Park considers a number of
bank holding  companies traded on The NASDAQ Global Select to be within 
its peer group. The SNL Financial Bank and Thrift Index is comprised of all
publicly traded bank and thrift stocks researched by SNL Financial. 

The NYSE Amex Financial Stocks Index includes the stocks of banks, 
thrifts, finance companies and securities broker-dealers. Park believes that 
the NASDAQ Bank Stocks Index and the SNL Financial Bank and Thrift Index 
are more appropriate industry indices for Park to use for the five-year total
return performance comparison.

The total return for Park’s common shares has underperformed the total return
of the NYSE Amex Composite Index in the five-year comparison as indicated in
Table 29, but outperformed both the NASDAQ Bank Stocks Index and the SNL
Bank and Thrift Index for the same five-year period. The annual compound
total return on Park’s common shares for the past five years was a negative
1.7%. By comparison, the annual compound total returns for the past five years
on the NYSE Amex Composite Index, the NASDAQ Bank Stocks Index and the
SNL Bank and Thrift Index were positive 8.1%, negative 7.3% and negative
10.8%, respectively.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Park National Corporation

The management of Park National Corporation (the “Corporation”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining
 adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. The Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
 assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Corporation’s internal control over financial
 reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

a.) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and

dispositions of the assets of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries;

b.) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial

statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures
of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the Corporation; and

c.) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or

 disposition of the assets of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries that could have a material effect 
on the financial statements.

The Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for
 effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to 
correct potential deficiencies as they are identified.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also, projections of any evaluations of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
 inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
 deteriorate. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting will provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

With the participation of our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, our President and our Chief Financial
 Officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of
 December 31, 2010, the end of the Corporation’s fiscal year. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set
forth for effective internal control over financial reporting by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. 

Based on our assessment under the criteria described in the preceding paragraph, management concluded that the
 Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.

The Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, has audited the Corporation’s 
2010 and 2009 consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report and the Corporation’s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, and has issued their Report of Independent Registered Public
 Accounting Firm, which appears in this Annual Report.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Park National Corporation
Newark, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Park National Corporation as of December 31, 2010 and 2009
and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2010. We also have audited Park National Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee 
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Park National Corporation’s management is responsible 
for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the
 effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal 
Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and an opinion 
on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial 
reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis,
 evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
 significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal
 control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the
risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
 reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
 accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
 projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
 because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
 position of Park National Corporation as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Park National Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective
 internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control –
 Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Park 
National Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Park”, the “Company” or the
“Corporation”). Material intercompany accounts and transactions have 
been  eliminated.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
 statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
 estimates. Management has identified the allowance for loan losses, accounting
for Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) and accounting for goodwill as signifi-
cant estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation. 

Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet
date, determining no events require additional disclosure in these consolidated
financial statements.

Investment Securities
Investment securities are classified upon acquisition into one of three cate-
gories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading (see Note 4 of these 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that the Corporation has the
positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are recorded at amortized
cost. Available-for-sale securities are those securities that would be available 
to be sold in the future in response to the Corporation’s liquidity needs, changes
in market interest rates, and asset-liability management strategies, among other
reasons. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized
holding gains and losses excluded from earnings but included in other  com -
prehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The Corporation did not hold any
trading  securities during any period presented.

Available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are evaluated quarterly for
potential other-than-temporary impairment. Management considers the facts 
related to each security including the nature of the security, the amount and
duration of the loss, the credit quality of the issuer, the expectations for that
security’s performance and Park’s intent and ability to hold the security until
recovery. Declines in equity securities that are considered to be other-than-
temporary are recorded as a charge to earnings in the Consolidated Statements
of Income. Declines in debt securities that are considered to be other-than-
temporary are separated into (1) the amount of the total impairment related 
to credit loss and (2) the amount of the total impairment related to all other
factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to 
the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total impairment
related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount.
Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method
without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where
prepayments are anticipated.

Gains and losses realized on the sale of investment securities are recorded on
the trade date and determined using the specific identification basis.

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Stock
Park’s two separately chartered banks are members of the FHLB and FRB.
Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on their level 
of borrowings and other factors and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB
and FRB stock are carried at cost, classified as restricted securities, and are
carried at their redemption value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported
as income.

Bank Owned Life Insurance
Park has purchased life insurance policies on directors and certain key officers.
Bank owned life insurance is recorded at its cash surrender value (or the
amount that can be realized).

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. Mortgage loans held
for sale were $8.3 million and $9.6 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. These amounts are included in loans on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. 

Mortgage Banking Derivatives 
Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the
secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these
mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. Fair values of
these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest
rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. The Company enters into
forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest
rate locks are entered into, in order to hedge the change in interest rates result-
ing from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in the fair values of these
derivatives are included in net gains on sales of loans.

Loans
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or payoff, are reported at their outstanding principal
balances adjusted for any charge-offs, any deferred fees or costs on originated
loans, and any unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.
Interest income is reported on the interest method and includes amortization 
of net deferred loan origination fees and costs over the loan term. Commercial
loans include: (1) commercial, financial and agricultural loans; (2) commer-
cial real estate loans; (3) those commercial loans in the real estate construction
loan segment; and (4) those commercial loans in the residential real estate
loan segment. Consumer loans include: (1) mortgage and installment loans
included in the real estate construction segment; (2) mortgage, home equity
lines of credit (HELOC), and installment loans included in the residential real
estate segment; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment. Generally,
commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status at 90 days past due and
 consumer and residential mortgage loans are placed on nonaccrual status at
120 days past due. Interest on these loans is considered a loss, unless the loan
is well-secured and in the process of collection. Commercial loans placed 
on nonaccrual status are considered impaired (See Note 5 of these Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements). For loans which are on nonaccrual status,
it is Park’s policy to reverse interest previously accrued on the loans against
interest income. Interest on such loans is thereafter recorded on a cash basis
and is included in earnings only when actually received in cash. Park’s charge-
off policy for commercial loans requires management to establish a specific
reserve or record a charge-off as soon as it is apparent that the borrower is
troubled and there is, or likely will be, a collateral shortfall related to the
 estimated value of the collateral securing the loan. The Company’s charge-off
policy for consumer loans is dependent on the class of the loan. Mortgage 
loans and HELOC are typically charged down to the value of the collateral, 
less estimated selling costs at 180 days past due. The charge-off policy for 
other consumer loans, primarily installment loans, requires a monthly review 
of delinquent loans and a complete charge-off for any account that reaches 
120 days past due.

56

N O T E S   T O   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

The delinquency status of a loan is based on contractual terms and not on how
recently payments have been received. Loans are removed from nonaccrual
status when loan payments have been received to cure the delinquency status
and the loan is deemed to be well-secured by management.

A description of each segment of the loan portfolio, along with the risk charac-
teristics of each segment, is included below:

Commercial, financial and agricultural: Commercial, financial and
 agricultural loans are made for a wide variety of general corporate purposes,
including financing for industrial and commercial properties, financing for
equipment, inventories and accounts receivable, acquisition financing and
 commercial leasing. The term of each commercial loan varies by its purpose.
Repayment terms are structured such that commercial loans will be repaid
within the economic useful life of the underlying asset. The commercial loan
portfolio includes loans to a wide variety of corporations and businesses across
many industrial classifications in (i) the 28 Ohio counties and one Kentucky
county where Park National Bank operates and (ii) the five Florida counties 
and one Alabama county where Vision Bank operates. The primary industries
represented by these customers include commercial real estate leasing,
 manufacturing, retail trade, health care and other services.

Commercial real estate: Commercial real estate loans (“CRE loans”) 
include mortgage loans to developers and owners of commercial real estate.
The lending policy for CRE loans is designed to address the unique risk
 attributes of CRE lending. The collateral for these CRE loans is the underlying
commercial real estate. Each subsidiary bank generally requires that the CRE
loan amount be no more than 85% of the purchase price or the appraised 
value of the commercial real estate securing the CRE loan, whichever is less.
CRE loans made for each subsidiary bank’s portfolio generally have a variable
interest rate. A CRE loan may be made with a fixed interest rate for a term
 generally not exceeding five years.

Construction real estate: The Company defines construction loans as both
commercial construction loans and residential construction loans where the
loan proceeds are used exclusively for the improvement of real estate as to
which the Company holds a mortgage. Construction loans may be in the form 
of a  permanent loan or a short-term construction loan, depending on the needs 
of the individual borrower. Generally, the permanent construction loans have a
variable interest rate although a permanent construction loan may be made with
a fixed interest rate for a term generally not exceeding five years. Short-term
construction loans are made with variable interest rates. Construction financing
is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk of loss than long-term
financing on improved, occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan
depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value
at completion of construction and the estimated cost (including interest) of
construction. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the
subsidiary bank making the loan may be required to advance funds beyond 
the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project. If the
 estimate of value proves inaccurate, the subsidiary bank may be confronted, 
at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value insufficient
to assure full repayment, should the borrower default. In the event a default on
a construction loan occurs and foreclosure follows, the subsidiary bank must
take control of the project and attempt either to arrange for completion of
 construction or to dispose of the unfinished project. Additional risk exists with
respect to loans made to developers who do not have a buyer for the property,
as the developer may lack funds to pay the loan if the property is not sold upon
completion. Park’s subsidiary banks attempt to reduce such risks on loans to
developers by requiring personal guarantees and reviewing current personal
financial statements and tax returns as well as other projects undertaken by 
the developer. 

Residential real estate: The Company defines residential real estate loans 
as first mortgages on individuals’ primary residence or second mortgages of
individuals’ primary residence in the form of home equity lines of credit or
installment loans. Credit approval for residential real estate loans requires

demonstration of sufficient income to repay the principal and interest and the
real estate taxes and insurance, stability of employment, an established credit
record and an appropriately appraised value of the real estate securing the
loan. Each subsidiary bank generally requires that the residential real estate
loan amount be no more than 80% of the purchase price or the appraised value 
of the real estate securing the loan, whichever is less, unless private mortgage
insurance is obtained by the borrower. Loans made for each subsidiary bank’s
portfolio in this lending category are generally adjustable rate, fully amortized
mortgages. The rates used are generally fully-indexed rates. Park generally does
not price residential loans using low introductory “teaser” rates. Home equity
lines of credit are generally made as second mortgages by Park’s subsidiary
banks. The maximum amount of a home equity line of credit is generally 
limited to 85% of the appraised value of the property less the balance of the 
first mortgage.

Consumer: The Company originates direct and indirect consumer loans,
 primarily automobile loans and home equity based credit cards to customers
and prospective customers in its primary market areas. Credit approval for
 consumer loans requires income sufficient to repay principal and interest due,
stability of employment, an established credit record and sufficient collateral for
secured loans. Consumer loans typically have shorter terms and lower balances
with higher yields as compared to real estate mortgage loans, but generally
carry higher risks of default. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the
borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected
by adverse personal circumstances.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is that amount believed adequate to absorb
 probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s
evaluation of various factors. The determination of the allowance requires sig-
nificant estimates, including the timing and amounts of expected cash flows on
impaired loans, consideration of current economic conditions, and historical
loss experience pertaining to pools of homogeneous loans, all of which may be
susceptible to change. The allowance is increased through a provision for loan
losses that is charged to earnings based on management’s quarterly evaluation
of the factors previously mentioned and is reduced by charge-offs, net of
 recoveries.

The allowance for loan losses includes both (1) an estimate of loss based 
on historical loss experience within both commercial and consumer loan
 categories with similar characteristics (“statistical allocation”) and (2) an
 estimate of loss based on an impairment analysis of each commercial loan 
that is considered to be impaired (“specific allocation”). 

In calculating the allowance for loan losses, management believes it is
 appropriate to utilize historical loss rates that are comparable to the current
period being analyzed. For the historical loss factor at December 31, 2010, the
Company utilized an annual loss rate (“historical loss experience”), calculated
based on an average of the net charge-offs and the annual change in specific
reserves for impaired commercial loans, experienced during 2008, 2009 
and 2010 within the commercial and consumer loan categories. Management
believes the 36-month historical loss experience methodology is appropriate 
in the current economic environment, as it captures loss rates that are
 comparable to the current period being analyzed. The loss factor applied 
to Park’s consumer portfolio is based on the historical loss experience over 
the past 36 months, plus an additional  judg mental reserve, increasing the total
allowance for loan loss coverage in the consumer portfolio to approximately
1.5 years of historical loss. The loss factor applied to Park’s commercial  port -
folio is based on the historical loss experience over the past 36 months, plus 
an additional judgmental reserve, increasing the total allowance for loan loss
coverage in the commercial  port folio to approximately 1.5 years of historical
loss. 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. 

57

The judgmental increases discussed above incorporates management’s
 evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose
 additional risks and assigns a component of the allowance for loan losses 
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; levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies,
impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries.

U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) require a specific
 allocation to be established as a component of the allowance for loan losses 
for certain loans when it is probable that all amounts due pursuant to the
 contractual terms of the loans will not be collected, and the recorded invest-
ment in the loans exceeds fair value. Fair value is measured using either the
present value of expected future cash flows based upon the initial effective
 interest rate on the loan, the observable market price of the loan or the fair
value of the  collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent.

Income Recognition
Income earned by the Corporation and its subsidiaries is recognized on 
the accrual basis of accounting, except for nonaccrual loans as previously
 discussed, and late charges on loans which are recognized as income when 
they are collected.

Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over the shorter of the remaining lease period or the estimated
useful lives of the improvements. Upon the sale or other disposal of an asset,
the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and the resulting gain or loss is recognized. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred while renewals and improvements that extend
the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Premises and equipment is evaluated
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

The range of depreciable lives over which premises and equipment are being
depreciated are:

Buildings
Equipment, furniture and fixtures
Leasehold improvements

5 to 50 Years
3 to 20 Years
1 to 10 Years

Buildings that are currently placed in service are depreciated over 30 years.
Equipment, furniture and fixtures that are currently placed in service are
 depreciated over 3 to 12 years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated 
over the lives of the related leases which range from 1 to 10 years.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
OREO is recorded at fair value less anticipated selling costs (net realizable value) 
and consists of property acquired through foreclosure and real estate held for 
sale. If the net realizable value is below the carrying value of the loan at the date 
of transfer, the difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
Subsequent declines in value, OREO devaluations, are typically reported as
adjustments to the carrying amount of OREO and are expensed within “other
income”. In certain circumstances where management believes the devaluation
may not be permanent in nature, Park utilizes a valuation allowance to record
OREO devaluations, which is also expensed through “other income”. Costs 
relating to development and improvement of such  properties are capitalized 
(not in excess of fair value less estimated costs to sell) and costs relating to
holding the properties are charged to expense.

Mortgage Loan Servicing Rights
When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, servicing rights
are recorded at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value, with the income
statement effect recorded in gains on sale of loans. Capitalized servicing rights
are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing
income of the underlying loan. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaled
$10.5 million at December 31, 2010 and $10.8 million at December 31, 2009.
The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined by discounting esti-
mated future cash flows from the servicing assets, using market discount rates
and expected future prepayment rates. In order to calculate fair value, the sold
loan portfolio is stratified into homogenous pools of like categories. (See Note
20 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Mortgage servicing rights are assessed for impairment periodically, based 
on fair value, with any impairment recognized through a valuation allowance.
Fees received for servicing mortgage loans owned by investors are based on a
percentage of the outstanding monthly principal balance of such loans and are
included in income as loan payments are received. The cost of servicing loans 
is charged to expense as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over net identifiable
 tangible and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination.
Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that have no physical prop-
erty but represent some future economic benefit to their owner and are capable
of being sold or exchanged on their own or in combination with a related asset
or liability.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized to expense, but
are subject to annual impairment tests, or more frequently if events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Intangible assets
with definitive useful lives (such as core deposit intangibles) are amortized to
expense over their estimated useful lives.

Management considers several factors when performing the annual impairment
tests on goodwill. The factors considered include the operating results for the
particular Park segment for the past year and the operating results budgeted for
the current year (including multi-year projections), the purchase prices being
paid for financial institutions in the markets served by the Park segment, the
deposit and loan totals of the Park segment and the economic conditions in 
the markets served by the Park segment.

The following table reflects the activity in goodwill and other intangible assets
for the years 2010, 2009 and 2008. (See Note 2 of these Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for details on the acquisition of Vision Bancshares, Inc.
(“Vision”), and the recognition of impairment charges in 2008 to Vision 
Bank’s goodwill.)

GAAP requires a company to perform an impairment test on goodwill annually,
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset
might be impaired, by comparing the fair value of such goodwill to its recorded
or carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair
value, an impairment charge must be recorded in an amount equal to the
excess.

Park typically evaluates goodwill for impairment on April 1 of each year, with
financial data as of March 31. Based on the analysis performed as of April 1,
2010, the Company determined that goodwill for Park’s Ohio-based bank 
(The Park National Bank) was not impaired.
The balance of goodwill was $127.3 million at December 31, 2007 and was
located at four subsidiary banks of Park. The subsidiary banks were Vision
Bank ($55.0 million), The Park National Bank ($39.0 million), Century
National Bank ($25.8 million) and The Security National Bank and Trust 
Co. ($7.5 million). During 2008, Park completed the consolidation of the 
eight banking charters of Park’s Ohio-based subsidiary banks into one national
bank charter. With this consolidation, the goodwill at The Park National Bank
was $72.3 million.
Based primarily on the increased level of net loan charge-offs at Vision 
Bank, management determined that it was appropriate to test for goodwill
impairment during the third quarter of 2008. Park continued to experience
credit deterioration in Vision Bank’s market place during the third quarter 
of 2008. The fair value of Vision was estimated by using the average of three
measurement methods. These included: (1) application of various metrics 
from bank sale transactions for institutions comparable to Vision Bank; 
(2) application of a market-derived multiple of tangible book value; and 
(3) estimations of the present value of future cash flows. Park’s management
reviewed the valuation of Vision Bank with Park’s Board of Directors and
 concluded that Vision Bank should recognize an impairment charge and 
write down the remaining goodwill ($55.0 million), resulting in a goodwill
balance of zero with respect to the Vision Bank reporting unit.
Goodwill and other intangible assets (as shown on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets) totaled $78.4 million at December 31, 2010, $81.8 million at
December 31, 2009 and $85.5 million at December 31, 2008.
The core deposit intangibles are being amortized to expense principally 
on the straight-line method, over periods ranging from six to ten years. The
 amortization period for the core deposit intangibles related to the Vision
 acquisition is six years. Core deposit  intangible amortization expense was 
$3.4 million in 2010, $3.7 million in 2009 and $4.0 million in 2008.
The accumulated amortization of core deposit intangibles was $16.1 million as
of December 31, 2010 and $12.7 million at December 31, 2009. The expected
core deposit intangible amortization expense for each of the next five years is 
as follows:

Loss Contingencies and Guarantees
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary
course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is
probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. 

Income Taxes
The Corporation accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
approach. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
 liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the differences are expected to reverse. To the extent that Park does
not consider it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, 
a valuation allowance is recorded. All positive and negative evidence is reviewed
when determining how much of a valuation allowance is recognized on a
 quarterly basis. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets 
to the amount expected to be realized.

An uncertain tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more-likely-
than-not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination being
presumed to occur. The benefit recognized for a tax position that meets the
“more-likely-than-not” criteria is measured based on the largest benefit that 
is more than 50 percent likely to be realized, taking into consideration the
amounts and probabilities of the outcome upon settlement. For tax positions
not meeting the “more-likely-than-not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. Park
recognizes any interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income
tax expense.

Preferred Stock
On December 23, 2008, Park issued $100 million of Senior Preferred Shares 
to the U.S. Department of Treasury (the “Treasury”) under the Capital Purchase
Program (CPP), consisting of 100,000 shares, each with a liquidation prefer-
ence of $1,000 per share. In addition, on December 23, 2008, Park issued a
warrant to the Treasury to purchase 227,376 common shares. These preferred
shares and related warrant are considered permanent equity for accounting
purposes. GAAP requires management to allocate the proceeds from the
issuance of the preferred stock between the preferred stock and related
warrant. The terms of the preferred shares require management to pay a
 cumulative dividend at the rate of 5 percent per annum until February 14, 
2014 and 9 percent thereafter. Management determined that the 5 percent
 dividend rate is below market value; therefore, the fair value of the preferred
shares would be less than the $100 million in proceeds. Management
 determined that a reasonable market discount rate is 12 percent for the fair
value of preferred shares. Management used the Black-Scholes model for
 calculating the fair value of the warrant (and related common shares). The
 allocation between the  preferred shares and warrant at December 23, 2008, 
the date of issuance, was $95.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The
 discount on the preferred shares of $4.3 million is being accreted through
retained earnings over a 60 month period.

Treasury Stock
The purchase of Park’s common stock is recorded at cost. At the date of
 retirement or subsequent reissuance, the treasury stock account is reduced 
by the weighted average cost of the common shares retired or reissued.

Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive
income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains
and losses on securities available for sale, changes in the funded status of the
Company’s Defined Benefit Pension Plan, and the unrealized net holding gains
and losses on the cash flow hedge, which are also recognized as separate
 components of equity.

Stock Based Compensation
Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and stock awards issued to
employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date 
of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock
options, while the market price of Park’s common stock at the date of grant 
is used for stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required
service period, generally defined as the vesting period. Park did not grant any

stock options during 2010, 2009 or 2008. No stock options vested in 2010,
2009 or 2008. Park granted 7,020, 7,020 and 7,200 shares of common stock
to its directors in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Derivative Instruments
At the inception of a derivative contract, the Company designates the derivative
as one of three types based on the Company’s intentions and belief as to likely
effectiveness as a hedge. These three types are: (1) a hedge of the fair value of 
a recognized asset or liability or of an unrecognized firm commitment (“fair
value hedge”); (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash
flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash 
flow hedge”); or (3) an instrument with no hedging designation (“stand-alone
derivative”). For a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well 
as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item, are recognized in current
earnings as fair values change. For a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the
derivative is reported in other comprehensive income and is reclassified into
earnings in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects
 earnings. For both types of hedges, changes in the fair value of derivatives that
are not highly effective in hedging the changes in fair value or expected cash
flows of the hedged item are recognized immediately in current earnings.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
are reported currently in earnings, as noninterest income.

The Company formally documents the relationship between derivatives and
hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and the strategy for
undertaking hedge transactions at the inception of the hedging relationship.
This documentation includes linking fair value or cash flow hedges to specific
assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet or to specific firm
 commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses,
both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivative
instruments that are used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values
or cash flows of the hedged items. The Company discontinues hedge accounting
when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes
in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, the derivative is settled or
 terminates, a hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable, a hedged
firm commitment is no longer firm, or treatment of the derivative as a hedge 
is no longer appropriate or intended. 

When hedge accounting is discontinued, subsequent changes in fair value of 
the derivative are recorded as noninterest income. When a fair value hedge is
discontinued, the hedged asset or liability is no longer adjusted for changes in
fair value and the existing basis adjustment is amortized or accreted over the
remaining life of the asset or liability. When a cash flow hedge is discontinued
but the hedged cash flows or forecasted transactions are still expected to occur,
gains or losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are
amortized into earnings over the same periods which the hedged transactions
will affect earnings.

Fair Value Measurement
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market infor-
mation and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 21 of these 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value estimates involve
 uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, 
credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad
markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions
could significantly affect the estimates.

Transfers of Financial Assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over 
the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed 
to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Company, the
transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking
advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the
Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through
an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

60

Retirement Plans
Pension expense is the net of service and interest cost, return on plan assets
and amortization of gains and losses not immediately recognized. Employee
401(k) plan expense is the amount of matching contributions. Deferred
 compensation and supplemental retirement plan expense allocates the 
benefits over years of service.

Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is net income available to common stock-
holders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive
effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options,
 warrants and convertible securities. Earnings and dividends per common 
share are restated for any stock splits and stock dividends through the date 
of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets: In June 2009, FASB issued
SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amend-
ment of FASB Statement No. 140.” This removes the concept of a qualifying
special-purpose entity from existing GAAP and removes the exception from
applying FASB ASC 810-10, Consolidation (FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised
December 2003) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities) to qualifying
special purpose entities. The objective of this new guidance is to improve the
relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information
that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets (which includes loan participations); the effects of a transfer on
its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s
continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. The Company’s adoption
of this new guidance on January 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on
Park’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R): In June 2009, FASB
issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (ASC
810). The objective of this new guidance is to amend certain requirements of
FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities, to improve financial reporting by enterprises
involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and 
reliable information to users of financial statements. The Company’s adoption 
of this new guidance on January 1, 2010 had no impact on Park’s consolidated
financial statements.

Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements: In January
2010, the FASB issued an amendment to Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures, Topic 820, Improving Disclosures About Fair Value
Measurements. This amendment requires new disclosures regarding 
significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements 
and the reasons for the transfers. This amendment also requires that a
 reporting entity present separately information about purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements, on a gross basis rather than a net basis for activity 
in Level 3 fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs. This
amendment also clarifies existing disclosures on the level of disaggregation, in
that the reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate
classes of assets and liabilities, and that a reporting entity should provide  dis -
closures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value
for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and 3.
The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures for ASC 820 are
effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settle-
ments in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those
disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010,
and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASC 820 did
not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

N O T E S   T O   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and 
the Allowance for Credit Losses: In July 2010, FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing
Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (ASU 2010-20), to address
concerns about the sufficiency, transparency, and robustness of credit risk
 disclosures for finance receivables and the related allowance for credit losses.
This ASU requires new and enhanced disclosures at disaggregated levels, specif-
ically defined as “portfolio segments” and “classes”. Among other things, the
expanded disclosures include roll-forward schedules of the allowance for credit
losses and information regarding the credit quality of receivables as of the end
of a reporting period. New and enhanced disclosures are required for interim
and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010, although the disclosures
of reporting period activity are required for interim and annual periods begin-
ning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance impacts
annual disclosures within the Annual Report for the period ended December
31, 2010 and will impact disclosures within interim financial statements in
future periods, but will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.

No. 2011-01 | Receivables (Topic 310) Deferral of the Effective Date
of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No.
2010-20: In January 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 
2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt
Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20 (ASU 2011-01). ASU 2011-01 was
issued as a result of concerns raised from stakeholders that the introduction of
new disclosure requirements (paragraphs 310-10-50-31 through 50-34 of the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification) about troubled debt restructurings in
one reporting period followed by a change in what constitutes a troubled debt
restructuring shortly thereafter would be burdensome for preparers and may
not provide financial statement users with useful information. 

2. ORGANIZATION AND ACQUISITIONS
Park National Corporation is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in
Newark, Ohio. Through its banking subsidiaries, The Park National Bank (PNB)
and Vision Bank (VB), Park is engaged in a general commercial banking and
trust business, primarily in Ohio, Baldwin County, Alabama and the panhandle
of Florida. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Park, Guardian Financial Services
Company (GFSC) began operating in May 1999. GFSC is a consumer finance
company located in Central Ohio. PNB operates through eleven banking
 divisions with the Park National Division headquartered in Newark, Ohio, 
the Fairfield National Division headquartered in Lancaster, Ohio, The Park
National Bank of Southwest Ohio & Northern Kentucky Division headquartered
in Milford, Ohio, the First-Knox National Division headquartered in Mount
Vernon, Ohio, the Farmers and Savings Division headquartered in Loudonville,
Ohio, the Security National Division headquartered in Springfield, Ohio, the
Unity National Division headquartered in Piqua, Ohio, the Richland Bank
Division headquartered in Mansfield, Ohio, the Century National Division
 headquartered in Zanesville, Ohio, the United Bank Division headquartered in
Bucyrus, Ohio and the Second National Division headquartered in Greenville,
Ohio. VB operates through two banking divisions with the Vision Bank Florida
Division headquartered in Panama City, Florida and the Vision Bank Alabama
Division headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama. All of the Ohio-based banking
divisions provide the following principal services: the acceptance of deposits 
for demand, savings and time accounts; commercial, industrial, consumer and
real estate lending, including installment loans, credit cards, home equity lines
of credit,  commercial leasing; trust services; cash management; safe deposit
operations; electronic funds transfers and a variety of additional banking-
related services. VB, with its two banking divisions, provides the services
mentioned above, with the exception of commercial leasing. See Note 23 
of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information 
on the Corporation’s operating segments.

On March 9, 2007, Park acquired all of the stock and outstanding stock 
options of Vision Bancshares, Inc. for $87.8 million in cash and 792,937 
shares of Park common stock valued at $83.3 million or $105.00 per share.

The goodwill recognized as a result of this acquisition was $109.0 million. 
The fair value of the acquired assets of Vision was $686.5 million and the fair
value of the liabilities assumed was $624.4 million at March 9, 2007. During
the fourth quarter of 2007, Park recognized a $54.0 million impairment charge
to the Vision goodwill. In addition, Park recognized an additional impairment
charge to the remaining Vision goodwill of $55.0 million during the third
quarter of 2008. The goodwill impairment charge of $55.0 million in 2008
reduced income tax expense by approximately $1 million. The goodwill impair-
ment charge of $54.0 million in 2007 had no impact on income tax expense. 

At the time of the acquisition, Vision operated two bank subsidiaries (both
named Vision Bank) which became bank subsidiaries of Park on March 9,
2007. On July 20, 2007, the bank operations of the two Vision Banks were
 consolidated under a single charter through the merger of the Vision Bank
headquartered in Gulf Shores, Alabama with and into the Vision Bank  head -
quartered in Panama City, Florida. Vision Bank operates under a Florida
banking charter and has 17 branch locations in Baldwin County, Alabama 
and in the Florida panhandle. 

3. RESTRICTIONS ON CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Corporation’s two bank subsidiaries are required to maintain average
reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average required reserve
balance was approximately $37.8 million at December 31, 2010 and $31.9
million at December 31, 2009. No other compensating balance arrangements
were in existence at December 31, 2010.

4. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The amortized cost and fair value of investment securities are shown in the
 following table. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of investment
securities for any other-than-temporary impairment. 

During 2010, Park recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge 
of $23,000, related to an equity investment in a financial institution, which is
recorded in “other expenses” within the Consolidated Statements of Income.
During 2009, Park recognized impairment losses of $0.6 million related to
equity investments in several financial institutions. Since these are equity
 securities, no amounts were recognized in other comprehensive income 
at the time of the impairment recognition.

Investment securities at December 31, 2010 were as follows:

Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entity asset-backed securities consisted of 
15-year r  esidential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage 
obligations(CMOs). At December 31, 2010, the amortized cost of Park’s AFS 
and held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities was $988.5 million and 
$0.1 million,respectively. At December 31, 2010, the amortized cost of   
 Park’s AFS and held-to-maturity CMOs was $1.7 million and $670.3    
million, respectively.

Other investment securities (as shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets)
consist of stock investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal
Reserve Bank. Park owned $61.8 million of Federal Home Loan Bank stock 
and $6.9 million of Federal Reserve stock at December 31, 2010. Park owned
$62.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and $6.9 million of Federal
Reserve Bank stock at December 31, 2009. 

Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31,
2010 or December 31, 2009, represents an other-than-temporary impairment.
The unrealized losses on debt securities are primarily the result of interest rate
changes. These conditions will not prohibit Park from receiving its contractual
principal and interest payments on these debt securities. The fair value of these
debt securities is expected to recover as payments are received on these securi-
ties and they approach maturity.

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 recog-
nized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is
identified.

The following table provides detail on investment securities with unrealized
losses aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual
 securities had been in a continuous loss position at December 31, 2010:

Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down loans individually
evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral. At
December 31, 2010, there were $12.5 million in partial charge-offs on loans
individually evaluated for impairment with no related allowance recorded and
an additional $41.1 million 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 related to loans
 individually evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2010 and 2009, of
$43.5 million and $36.7 million, respectively, related to loans with a recorded
investment of $140.5 million and $123.7 million.

The average balance of loans individually evaluated for impairment was 
$210.4 million, $184.7 million and $130.6 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.

Interest income on loans individually evaluated for impairment is recognized 
on a cash basis after all past due and current principal payments have been
made. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Corporation recognized 
a net reversal to interest income of $1.3 million, consisting of $948,000 in
interest recognized at PNB and $2.2 million in interest reversed at Vision, 
on loans that were individually evaluated for impairment as of the end of the
year. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Corporation recognized a net
 reversal to interest income of $1.3 million, consisting of $1.8 million in interest
recognized at PNB and $3.1 million in interest reversed at Vision, on loans that
were  individually evaluated for impairment as of the end of the year. For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Corporation recognized $0.9 million in 
interest income, consisting of $2.8 million in interest recognized at PNB 
and $1.9 million in interest reversed at Vision.

Management’s policy is to initially place all renegotiated loans (troubled 
debt restructurings) on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2010, there were
$80.7 million of troubled debt restructurings included in nonaccrual loan
totals. Many of these troubled debt restructurings are performing under the
renegotiated terms. At December 31, 2010, of the $80.7 million in troubled
debt restructurings, $50.3 million were included within current loans presented
above. Management will continue to review the renegotiated loans and may
determine it appropriate to move certain of these loans back to accrual status 
in the future. At December 31, 2010, Park had commitments to lend $434,000
of additional funds to borrowers whose terms had been modified in a troubled
debt restructuring.

Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator 
across the loan portfolio. 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 (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 deserve
 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 loans 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 character-
ized 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  non performing and Park generally charges these loans down to
their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. 

64

N O T E S   T O   C O N S O L I D A T E D   F I N A N C I A L   S T A T E M E N T S

Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified
as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collec-
tion or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions,
and values, highly questionable and improbable. Any commercial loan graded
an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off. The table below presents the recorded
investment by loan grade at December 31, 2010 for all commercial loans:

Management transfers a loan to other real estate owned at the time that Park
takes possession of the asset. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, Park had $44.3
million and $41.2 million, respectively, of other real estate owned. Other real
estate owned at Vision Bank has increased from $35.2 million at December 31,
2009 to $35.9 million at December 31, 2010.

Certain of the Corporation’s executive officers and directors are loan customers
of the Corporation’s two banking subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2010 and
2009, loans and lines of credit aggregating approximately $53.6 million and
$56.8 million, respectively, were outstanding to such parties. During 2010, 
$2.1 million of new loans were made to these executive officers and directors

and repayments totaled $5.3 million. New loans and repayments for 2009 were
$27.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively. Additionally, during 2009, $20.8
million in loans were removed from the aggregate amount reported 
due to the resignation of certain directors.

Other borrowings consist of a capital lease obligation of $1.4 million,
 pertaining to an arrangement that was part of the acquisition of Vision 
on March 9, 2007 and its associated minimum lease payments.

Park had approximately $603.4 million of long-term debt at December 31,
2010 with a contractual maturity longer than five years. However, approximately
$600 million of this debt is callable by the issuer in 2011.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances
were collateralized by investment securities owned by the Corporation’s sub-
sidiary banks and by various loans pledged under a blanket agreement by the
Corporation’s subsidiary banks.

See Note 4 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the 
amount of investment securities that are pledged. See Note 9 of these Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements for the amount of commercial real 
estate and residential mortgage loans that are pledged to the FHLB.

11. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES/NOTES
As part of the acquisition of Vision on March 9, 2007, Park became the
 successor to Vision under (i) the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement 
of Vision Bancshares Trust I (the “Trust”), dated as of December 5, 2005, 
(ii) the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of December 5, 2005, and 
(iii) the Guarantee Agreement, also dated as of December 5, 2005.

On December 1, 2005, Vision formed a wholly-owned Delaware statutory
 business trust, Vision Bancshares Trust I (“Trust I”), which issued $15.0
million of the Trust’s floating rate preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred
Securities”) to institutional investors. These Trust Preferred Securities qualify 
as Tier I capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines. All of the common
securities of Trust I are owned by Park. The proceeds from the issuance of the
common securities and the Trust Preferred Securities were used by Trust I to
purchase $15.5 million of junior subordinated notes, which carry a floating rate
based on a three-month LIBOR plus 148 basis points. The debentures represent
the sole asset of Trust I. The Trust Preferred Securities accrue and pay distribu-
tions at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 148 basis points per annum.
The Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the
notes in December 2035, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the notes.
Park has the right to redeem the notes purchased by Trust I in whole or in part,
on or after December 30, 2010. As specified in the indenture, if the notes are
redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be the principal amount,
plus any unpaid accrued interest.

In accordance with GAAP, Trust I is not consolidated with Park’s financial
 statements, but rather the subordinated notes are reflected as a liability.

On December 28, 2007, one of Park’s wholly-owned subsidiary banks, 
The Park National Bank (“PNB”), entered into a Subordinated Debenture
Purchase Agreement with USB Capital Funding Corp. Under the terms of the
Purchase Agreement, USB Capital Funding Corp. purchased from PNB a
Subordinated Debenture dated December 28, 2007, in the principal amount 
of $25 million, which matures on December 29, 2017. The Subordinated
Debenture is intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under the applicable regula-
tions of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States of
America (the “OCC”). The Subordinated Debenture accrues and pays interest 
at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. The Subordinated
Debenture may not be prepaid in any amount prior to December 28, 2012;
however, subsequent to that date, PNB may prepay, without penalty, all or 
a portion of the principal amount outstanding in a minimum amount of $5
million or any larger multiple of $5 million. The three-month LIBOR rate 
was 0.30% at December 31, 2010. On January 2, 2008, Park entered into 
an interest rate swap transaction, which was designated as a cash flow hedge
against the variability of cash flows related to the Subordinated Debenture of
$25 million (see Note 19 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

On December 23, 2009, Park entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, 
dated December 23, 2009, with 38 purchasers (the “Purchasers”). Under the
terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers purchased from Park an
aggregate principal amount of $35.25 million of 10% Subordinated Notes due
December 23, 2019 (the “Notes”). The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2
Capital under applicable rules and regulations of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”). The Notes may not be
prepaid in any amount prior to December 23, 2014; however, subsequent to
that date, Park may prepay, without penalty, all or a portion of the principal
amount outstanding. Of the $35.25 million in Notes, $14.05 million were
 purchased by related parties.

12. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Park National Corporation 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2005
Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors of Park on January 18, 2005, 
and was approved by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders
on April 18, 2005. Under the 2005 Plan, 1,500,000 common shares are
 authorized for delivery upon the exercise of incentive stock options. All of 
the common shares delivered upon the exercise of incentive stock options
granted under the 2005 Plan are to be treasury shares. At December 31, 2010,
1,421,925 common shares were available for future grants under the 2005
Plan. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, incentive stock options may be granted
at a price not less than the fair market value at the date of the grant, and for an
option term of up to five years. No additional incentive stock options may be
granted under the 2005 Plan after January 17, 2015.

The fair value of each incentive stock option granted is estimated on the date 
of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model. Expected
volatilities are based on historical volatilities of Park’s common stock. The
Corporation uses historical data to estimate option exercise behavior. The
expected term of incentive stock options granted is based on historical data 
and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be
 outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. 
The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the incentive stock options 
is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. 

The activity in the 2005 Plan is listed in the following table for 2010:

There were no options granted or exercised in 2010, 2009 or 2008.
Additionally, no expense was recognized for 2010, 2009 or 2008. 

13. BENEFIT PLANS
The Corporation has a noncontributory Defined Benefit Pension Plan (the
“Pension Plan”) covering substantially all of the employees of the Corporation
and its subsidiaries. The Pension Plan provides benefits based on an employee’s
years of service and compensation. 

The Corporation’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. Management made a $20 million contribution in January 2009,
which was deductible on the 2008 tax return and as such was reflected as part
of the deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2008. In addition, management
made a $10 million contribution in November 2009, which was deductible on
the 2009 tax return and as such is reflected as part of deferred tax liabilities at
December 31, 2009. Management contributed $2 million in September 2010,
which will be deductible on the 2010 tax return and is reflected in deferred tax
liabilities at December 31, 2010. In January 2011, management contributed
$14 million, of which $12.4 million will be deductible on the 2010 tax return
and $1.6 million on the 2011 tax return. The entire $12.4 million deductible 
on the 2010 tax return is reflected as part of the deferred tax liabilities at
December 31, 2010. See Note 14 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. Park does not expect to make any additional contributions to the
Pension Plan in 2011.

The investment policy, as established by the Retirement Plan Committee, is 
to invest assets according to the target allocation stated above. Assets will be
reallocated periodically based on the investment strategy of the Retirement 
Plan Committee. The investment policy is reviewed periodically.

The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 7.75% in 2010 
and 2009. This return was based on the expected return of each of the asset
categories, weighted based on the median of the target allocation for each class. 

The accumulated benefit obligation for the Pension Plan was $63.5 million 
and $52.6 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

On November 17, 2009, the Park Pension Plan completed the purchase of
115,800 common shares of Park for $7.0 million or $60.45 per share. At
December 31, 2010 and 2009, the fair value of the 115,800 common shares
held by the Pension Plan was $8.4 million, or $72.67 per share and $6.8
million, or $58.88 per share, respectively.

The estimated prior service costs for the Pension Plan that will be amortized
from accumulated other comprehensive income into net periodic benefit cost
over the next fiscal year is $20 thousand. The estimated net actuarial (loss)
expected to be recognized in the next fiscal year is ($1.4) million.

The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost
for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, are listed below:

Discount rate

2010

6.00%
3.00%
7.75%

2009

6.00%

7.75%

Management believes the 7.75% expected long-term rate of return is an
appropriate assumption given historical performance of the S&P 500 Index,
which management believes is a good indicator of future performance of
Pension Plan assets.

The Pension Plan maintains cash in a Park National Bank savings account, 
with a balance of $0.7 million at December 31, 2010.

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received by Park for an asset
or paid by Park to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date, using the most  advan -
tageous market for the asset or liability. The fair values of equity securities,
consisting of mutual fund investments and common stock held by the Pension
Plan and the fixed income and cash equivalents, are determined by obtaining
quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs).
The market value of Pension Plan assets at December 31, 2010 was $85.5
million. At December 31, 2010, $73.5 million of equity investments in the
Pension Plan were categorized as Level 1 inputs; $12.0 million of plan invest-
ments in  corporate and U.S. government agency bonds are categorized as Level
2 inputs, as fair value is based on quoted market prices of comparable instru-
ments; and no investments are categorized as Level 3 inputs. The market value
of Pension Plan assets was $75.8 million at December 31, 2009. At December
31, 2009, $63.0 million of investments in the Pension Plan were categorized as
Level 1 inputs; $12.8 million were categorized as Level 2; and no investments
were  categorized as Level 3.

The Corporation has a voluntary salary deferral plan covering substantially all 
of the employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Eligible employees
may contribute a portion of their compensation subject to a maximum statutory
limitation. The Corporation provides a matching contribution established
annually by the Corporation. Contribution expense for the Corporation was $1.0
million, $1.5 million, and $2.0 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Corporation has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) cover-
ing certain key officers of the Corporation and its subsidiaries with defined
pension benefits in excess of limits imposed by federal tax law. At December 31,
2010 and 2009, the accrued benefit cost for the SERP totaled $7.2 million and
$7.4 million, respectively. The expense for the Corporation was $0.5 million for
both 2010 and 2009 and $0.6 million for 2008.

14. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant compo-
nents of the Corporation’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Park performs an analysis to determine if a valuation allowance againstdeferred 
tax assets is required in accordance with GAAP. Vision Bank is subjectto state 
income tax in Alabama and Florida. A state tax benefit of $1.16 millionwas 
recorded by Vision Bank, consisting of a gross benefit of $2.26 million and a 
valuation allowance of $1.10 million. In the schedule of deferred taxes,the 
valuation allowance is shown net of the federal tax benefit of $384,000.
Management has determined that the likelihood of realizing the full deferred tax
asset on state net operating loss  carryforwards fails to meet the more likely than
not level. The net operating loss carryforward period for the state of Alabama
and Florida are 8 years and 20 years, respectively. A merger of Vision Bank into
Park National Bank would ensure the future utilization of the state net operating
loss carryforward at Vision Bank. However, management is not certain when a
merger of Vision Bank into Park National Bank can take place and as a result
has decided to record a valuation allowance against new state tax benefit of 
losses at Vision Bank until management has a better understanding of the timing 
and likelihood of a merger of Vision Bank into Park National Bank. 

Management has determined that it is not required to establish a valuation
allowance against remaining deferred tax assets in accordance with GAAP 
since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be fully utilized 
in future periods.

subsidiaries are subject to state income tax in the following states: Alabama,
Florida, California and Kentucky. Park is no longer subject to examination by
federal or state taxing authorities for the tax year 2006 and the years prior.

The 2007 and 2008 federal income tax returns of Park National Corporation
are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Additionally,
the 2009 State of Ohio franchise tax return is currently under examination. 
Park does not expect material adjustments from the examinations.

Park and its Ohio-based subsidiaries do not pay state income tax to the state 
of Ohio, but pay a franchise tax based on their year-end equity. The franchise 
tax expense is included in the state tax expense and is shown in “state taxes” 
on Park’s Consolidated Statements of Income. Vision Bank is subject to state
income tax, in the states of Alabama and Florida. State income tax benefit for
Vision Bank is included in “income taxes” on Park’s Consolidated Statements 
of Income. Vision Bank’s 2010 state income tax benefit was $1.16 million, net
of the recorded valuation allowance.

affect the effective income tax rate in the future periods at December 31, 2010,
2009 and 2008 was $370,000, $504,000 and $704,000, respectively. Park does
not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase
or decrease during the next year.

16. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
GAAP requires the reporting of basic and diluted earnings per common share.
Basic earnings per common share excludes any dilutive effects of options,
 warrants and convertible securities.

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 following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings 
per common share:

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, options to purchase 78,075 and 
254,892 common shares, respectively, were outstanding under Park’s 2005
Plan. A warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was outstanding at both
December 31, 2010 and 2009 as a result of Park’s participation in the CPP.
Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 71,984 common shares were outstanding
at December 31, 2010 as a result of the issuance of common stock and
 warrants which closed on December 10, 2010. In addition, warrants to
 purchase an aggregate of 500,000 common shares were outstanding at
December 31, 2009 as a result of the issuance of common stock and 
warrants which closed on October 30, 2009. All warrants issued on 
October 30, 2009 had been exercised or expired as of December 31, 2010. 

The common shares represented by the options and the warrants at December
31, 2010 and 2009, totaling a weighted average of 382,445 and 642,405,
respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
common share because the respective exercise prices 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 is
not included in the 382,445 at December 31, 2010, as the dilutive effect of this
warrant pertaining to the CPP was 3,043 shares of common stock at December
31, 2010. The exercise price of this warrant is $65.97.

17. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
Bank regulators limit the amount of dividends a subsidiary bank can declare 
in any calendar year without obtaining prior approval. At December 31, 2010,
approximately $52.8 million of the total stockholders’ equity of PNB was avail-
able for the payment of dividends to the Corporation, without approval by the
applicable regulatory authorities. Vision Bank is  currently not permitted to pay
dividends to the Corporation.

18. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CONCENTRATIONS OF
CREDIT RISK

The Corporation is 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 inter-
est rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial
statements.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss 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.
The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since

The loan commitments are generally for variable rates of interest. 

The Corporation grants retail, commercial and commercial real estate loans 
to customers primarily located in Ohio, Baldwin County, Alabama and the pan-
handle of Florida. The Corporation evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness
on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary
by the Corporation upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit
evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing
commercial properties.

Although the Corporation has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial 
portion of the borrowers’ ability to honor their contracts is dependent upon 
the economic conditions in each borrower’s geographic location and industry. 

19. 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 GAAP,
the Company records all derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair
value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on 
the intended use of the derivatives 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  trans -
actions, are considered cash flow hedges.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes
in the fair value of the derivatives 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. 

During the first quarter of 2008, the Company executed an interest rate swap to
hedge a $25 million floating-rate subordinated note that was entered into by
PNB during the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company’s objective in using this
derivative is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to
interest rate risk. Our interest rate swap involves the receipt of variable-rate
amounts in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement
without exchange of the underlying principal amount, and has been designated
as a cash flow hedge. 

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the interest rate swap’s fair value of ($1.6)
million and ($1.5) million, respectively, was included in other liabilities. No
hedge ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedge was recognized during the twelve
months ended December 31, 2010 or 2009. At December 31, 2010, the vari-
able rate on the $25 million subordinated note was 2.30% (3-month LIBOR
plus 200 basis points) and Park was paying 6.01% (4.01% fixed rate on the
interest rate swap plus 200 basis points).

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the change in the
fair value of the interest rate swap reported in other comprehensive income 
was a loss of $98,000 (net of taxes of $53,000) and income of $295,000 (net

21. FAIR VALUES 
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” used 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 based on the fair value of the
underlying collateral, which is estimated through third party appraisals or
 internal estimates of collateral values.

comprehensive income related to the interest rate swap will be reclassified 
to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-
rate debt.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, no derivatives were designated as 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 December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, Park had mortgage loan
interest rate lock commitments outstanding of approximately $14.5 million and
$17.5 million, respectively. Park has specific forward contracts to sell each of
these loans to a third party investor. These loan commitments represent deriva-
tive instruments, which are required to be carried at fair value. The derivative
instruments used are not designed as hedges under GAAP. The fair value of the
derivative instruments was approximately $166,000 at December 31, 2010 and
$214,000 at December 31, 2009. 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 the 2009 year,
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 December 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009, the fair value of the swap liability of $60,000 and $500,000, respectively,
is an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa
litigation losses.

20. LOAN SERVICING
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1,471 million at December 31, 2010
compared to $1,518 million at December 31, 2009, and $1,369 million at
December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2010, $36.0 million of the sold mortgage
loans were sold with recourse compared to $53 million at December 31, 2009.
Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold
with recourse. At December 31, 2010, management determined that no liability
was deemed necessary for these loans.

Park capitalized $3.1 million in mortgage servicing rights in 2010, $5.5 million
in 2009 and $1.5 million in 2008. Park’s amortization of mortgage servicing
rights was $3.2 million in 2010, $4.0 million in 2009 and $1.7 million in 2008.
The amortization of mortgage loan servicing rights is included within “Other
service income”. Generally, mortgage servicing rights are capitalized and
 amortized on an individual sold loan basis. When a sold mortgage loan is 
paid off, the related mortgage servicing rights are fully amortized.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation 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 avail-
able, 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 respec-
tive 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.

Interest Rate Swap: The fair value of the interest rate swap represents the
estimated amount Park would pay or receive to terminate the agreement,
 considering current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the
 counterparty.

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.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs): IRLCs are based on current sec-
ondary 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 fair value for several equity securities with a fair value of $745,000 as of
December 31, 2010 was transferred out of Level 1 and into Level 3 because of 
a lack of observable market data for these investments. The Company’s policy is
to recognize transfers as of the end of the reporting period. As a result, the fair
value for these equity securities was transferred on December 31, 2010.

Impaired loans, which are usually measured for impairment using the fair value
of collateral or present value of expected future cash flows, had a book value of
$250.9 million at December 31, 2010, after partial charge-offs of $53.6 million.
In addition, these loans had a specific valuation allowance of $43.5 million. 
Of the $250.9 million impaired loan portfolio, loans with a book value of
$154.7 million were carried at their fair value of $111.3 million, as a result of
the aforementioned charge-offs and specific valuation allowance. The remaining
$96.2 million of impaired loans were carried at cost, as the fair value of the
underlying collateral or present value of expected future cash flows on these
loans exceeded the book value for each individual credit. At December 31,
2009, impaired loans had a book value of $201.1 million. Of these, $109.8
million were carried at fair value, as a result of partial charge-offs of $43.4

or fair value, were recorded at $10.5 million at December 31, 2010. Of the 
$10.5 million MSR carrying balance at December 31, 2010, $3.8 million was
recorded at fair value and included a valuation allowance of $748,000. The
remaining $6.7 million was recorded at cost, as the fair value exceeded the 
cost at December 31, 2010. 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, determined 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 was then compared to market vales where possible 
to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation to current market
expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are classified in Level 2. 
At December 31, 2009, MSRs were recorded at a fair value of $10.8 million,
including a valuation allowance of $574,000.

Other real estate owned (OREO) is recorded at fair value based on property
appraisals, less estimated selling costs, at the date of transfer. 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. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the estimated 
fair value of OREO, less estimated selling costs amounted to $44.3 million and
$41.2 million, respectively. The financial impact of OREO valuation adjustments
for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $10.6 million.

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 Balance Sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate
those assets’ fair values.

Interest bearing deposits with other banks: The carrying amounts
reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for interest bearing deposits with
other banks 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. 

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 were 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/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.

22. CAPITAL RATIOS
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Corporation and each of its two separately
chartered banks had Tier 1, total risk-based capital and leverage ratios which
were well above both the required minimum levels of 4.00%, 8.00% and
4.00%, respectively, and the well-capitalized levels of 6.00%, 10.00% and
5.00%, respectively.

The following table indicates the capital ratios for Park and each subsidiary at
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

Failure to meet the minimum requirements above could cause the Federal
Reserve Board to take action. Park’s bank subsidiaries are also subject to these
capital requirements by their primary regulators. As of December 31, 2010 
and 2009, Park and its banking subsidiaries were well-capitalized and met all
capital requirements to which each was subject. There are no conditions or
events since the most recent regulatory report filings, by PNB or Vision Bank
(“VB”), that management believes have changed the risk categories for either 
of the two banks.

23. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Corporation is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Newark,
Ohio. The operating segments for the Corporation are its two chartered bank
subsidiaries, The Park National Bank (headquartered in Newark, Ohio)
(“PNB”) and Vision Bank (headquartered in Panama City, Florida) (“VB”).
Guardian Financial Services Company (“GFSC”) is a consumer finance company
and is excluded from PNB for segment reporting purposes. GFSC is included
within the presentation of “All Other” in the segment reporting tables that
follow. During the third quarter of 2008, Park combined the eight separately
chartered Ohio-based bank subsidiaries into one national bank charter, that of
The Park National Bank. Prior to the charter mergers that were consummated
in the third quarter of 2008, Park considered each of its nine chartered bank
subsidiaries as a separate segment for financial reporting purposes. GAAP
requires management to disclose information about the different types of
 business activities in which a company engages and also information on the
 different economic environments in which a company operates, so that the
users of the financial statements can better understand a company’s perform-
ance, better understand the potential for future cash flows, and make more
informed judgments about the company as a whole. The change to two operat-
ing segments is in line with GAAP as there are: (i) two separate and distinct
geographic markets in which Park operates; (ii) discrete financial information
is available for each operating segment; and (iii) the segments are aligned with
internal reporting to Park’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating
decision maker.

24. PARENT COMPANY STATEMENTS
The Parent Company statements should be read in conjunction with the
 consolidated financial statements and the information set forth below.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.

The effective tax rate for the Parent Company is substantially less than the
 statutory rate due principally to tax-exempt dividends from subsidiaries. 

Cash represents noninterest bearing deposits with a bank subsidiary.

Net cash provided by operating activities reflects cash payments (received 
from subsidiaries) for income taxes of $5.97 million, $5.22 million and 
$8.23 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

At December 31, 2010 and 2009, stockholders’ equity reflected in the Parent
Company balance sheet includes $143 million and $125 million, respectively, 
of undistributed earnings of the Corporation’s subsidiaries which are restricted
from transfer as dividends to the Corporation.

25. PARTICIPATION IN THE U.S. TREASURY 

CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM

On December 23, 2008, Park issued $100 million of cumulative perpetual
 preferred shares, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the
“Senior Preferred Shares”). The Senior Preferred Shares constitute Tier 1
capital and rank senior to Park’s common shares. The Senior Preferred Shares
pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum through February 14, 
2014 and will reset to a rate of 9% per annum thereafter. For the year ended
December 31, 2010, Park recognized a charge to retained earnings of $5.8
million representing the preferred stock dividend and accretion of the 
discount on the preferred stock, associated with its participation in the CPP.

As part of its participation in the CPP, Park also issued a warrant to the U.S.
Treasury to purchase 227,376 common shares, which is equal to 15% of 
the aggregate amount of the Senior Preferred Shares purchased by the U.S.
Treasury, having an exercise price of $65.97. The initial exercise price for the
warrant and the market price for determining the number of common shares
subject to the warrant were determined by reference to the market price of the
common shares on the date the Company’s application for participation in the
CPP was approved by the United States Department of the Treasury (calculated
on a 20-day trailing average). The warrant has a term of 10 years.

A company that participates in the CPP must adopt certain standards for
 compensation and corporate governance, established under the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”), which amended and
replaced the executive compensation provisions of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) in their entirety, and the Interim Final Rule
promulgated by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury under 31 C.F.R. Part 30
 (collectively, the “Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Compensation
Standards”). In addition, Park’s ability to declare or pay dividends on 
or  repurchase its common shares is partially restricted as a result of its
 participation in the CPP. 

26. SALE OF COMMON SHARES AND ISSUANCE 

OF COMMON STOCK WARRANTS

During 2009, Park sold a total of 904,072 common shares, out of treasury
shares, and issued, in conjunction with the October 30, 2009 registered public
offering, 500,000 Series A/Series B Common Share Warrants. The common
shares were issued at a weighted average sales price of $61.20 with net pro-
ceeds of $53.6 million. Through December 31, 2009, there were no exercises
of the Series A/Series B Common Share Warrants. 

During the year ended December 31, 2010, 437,200 common shares were
issued upon the exercise of the Series A and Series B Common Share Warrants
at a price of $67.75 per common share. Park raised $28.7 million, net of all
selling costs, from the sale of the 437,200 common shares. The remaining
portion of the Series B Common Share Warrants Park issued in October 2009
(covering 62,800 common shares) expired on October 30, 2010.

In addition, on December 10, 2010, Park sold, in a registered direct public
offering, 71,984 common shares, out of treasury shares, for gross proceeds 
of $5.0 million. In addition to the common shares, Park also issued:

■ Series A Common Share Warrants, which are exercisable within six

months of the closing date, to purchase up to an aggregate of 35,992
common shares at an exercise price of $76.41.

■ Series B Common Share Warrants, which are exercisable within twelve
months of the closing date, to purchase up to an aggregate of 35,922
common shares at an exercise price of $76.41.

Net proceeds (net of all selling and legal expenses) from the December 10,
2010 sale of 71,984 Common Shares and Series A/Series B Common Share
Warrants was $4.8 million. Through December 31, 2010, there were no
 exercises of the Series A/Series B Common Share Warrants issued in this
 registered direct public offering.
