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

Most readers of this letter have seen our world become increasingly
complex and unpredictable over the past four years. While it may be
illuminating to put into context all that has transpired since March,
2007 when Vision Bank (Vision) joined Park, we wish to simplify
our approach this year. Revisiting details about great recessions,
real estate devaluations, oil spills, etc. is tempting but it is tedious
and wears on our nerves. We are looking through the windshield,
not at the rearview mirror, and we invite you to join us. To that end,
we offer this table summarizing net income for the previous three
years:

Park National Bank (PNB)
Guardian Financial Services
Vision Bank
Parent Company/Other

2011

$106,851
2,721

What you see on the table is our history. Our future will be the 
rows titled PNB, Guardian and Parent Company/Other, summarized
in the row “PRK without Vision”. You see that in the past three years,
these entities together have produced an average $104.2 million in
net income. Subtracting the after-tax impact of security gains still
yields an average net income of $94.9 million per year.

In short, if one wants to know how we may fare in the future 
(we certainly do, and suspect you might as well), look to PNB 
and Guardian Financial Services Company (GFSC). They have hit 
the proverbial cover off the ball ...and we have every reason to
expect they will continue this excellent performance.

We cannot overemphasize the success of our 11 banking affiliates 
of PNB and GFSC. Their sustained performance is the reason we
have been able to maintain our dividend during challenging times.
We are in the distinct minority of bank holding companies able 
to remain profitable and sustain our dividend at historic levels. 
The Ohio-based affiliates are not and never were broken; in fact, 
they continue to perform at remarkable levels compared to 
virtually any measure.

On March 9, 2007, we completed the purchase of the Alabama 
and Florida operations of Vision. On November 16, 2011 we
announced the sale of substantially all of the performing assets 
of Vision to Home Bancshares, Inc. and their affiliate, Centennial
Bank. The sale was concluded on February 16, 2012. There are
ample public filings of events surrounding our ownership of 
Vision if a reader is interested in learning more of the history 
of that chapter of our company.

As stated earlier, we prefer to look forward.

We thank four Park commercial lenders stationed in Alabama and
Florida: Brett Baumeister and Frank Wagner in Alabama and Scott
Robertson and Bryan Campolo in Florida. Steve Klein, from Park’s
accounting department in Newark, also worked nearly full time at
Vision over most of 2011. Their presence in Alabama and Florida
saved us countless dollars and headaches. We intend to return all
five back to Ohio this year as soon as practical.

We also thank Brady Burt, Park’s Chief Accounting Officer, for
leading our efforts over the 90-day period that culminated in the
Vision sale. Brady did a terrific job working through a myriad of
details to allow the sale to occur on a very timely basis.

2010 and 2011 results
The restatement of net income for 2010 and the first three quarters
of 2011 was, from our perspective, a timing difference. The net
income for 2010 and each of the first three quarters of 2011
changed due to the restatement, but the cumulative net income 
for the two years was unchanged.

The result of the restatement was a reduction to 2010 net income of
$16.1 million, or $1.06 per diluted common share, all affecting the
fourth quarter of 2010. The reduction of 2010 net income is fully
offset by an identical increase to net income during 2011.

We previously announced net income for the year ended December
31, 2010 of $74.2 million, or $4.51 per diluted common share.
The restated net income for 2010 was $58.1 million.

Park’s net income was $82.1 million for the year ended December
31, 2011, including the $16.1 million added to 2011 as a result of
the restatement. Net income per diluted common share for 2011
was $4.95, compared to $3.45 per diluted common share for the
restated year 2010.

Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)
We plan to repay the funds received under TARP as soon as
practical in 2012. The sooner, the better. We know shareholders
agree.

Service quality and measuring results
We have a relentless focus on delivering superior customer service
to meet current customer needs and attract new customers.

Last year, we implemented an organization-wide program 
we labeled “Service Excellence”. Service Excellence is our 
way of helping each of our associates understand better service
techniques, attitudes, behaviors and the value of providing 
superior customer service.

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

We developed and now embrace 15 service standards. Every 
day, our associates convene for an exercise, called “Service 360”,
to discuss one of the standards. For 6 minutes each morning we
discuss the identical standard company-wide. Each associate in
every office and in every department participates in the same 
6-minute session to help us improve how we serve our customers,
our communities and each other.

Last year we completed our Disaster Recovery Site and upgraded
our Newark data center. We began a complete overhaul to our
Automated Teller Machine fleet, replacing or upgrading 143 ATMs
throughout our network. And we conducted a comprehensive
review of our core technology system to determine the most
appropriate platform to serve our customer and associate needs 
in the future.

Service Excellence is working. For a number of years we’ve asked 
a simple survey question ...“Would you recommend this company
to a friend or colleague?” We measure the results following the
formula developed by Fred Reichheld in his book The Ultimate
Question. Answers to the simple question produce a metric 
known as the “Net Promoter Score”.

All affiliates used this survey method last year. We are pleased with
the results. Each affiliate improved its Net Promoter Scores during
2011. Moreover, their scores compare very favorably with the best
companies identified by Mr. Reichheld.

We choose to grow our Ohio-based affiliates the old fashioned
way...by hard work and quality service that cultivates customer
loyalty. Even in stagnant markets, we gain quality relationships 
from our competition. 

Guardian Finance
Previously we mentioned Guardian Financial Services Company.
Begun with a single office in 1999 and an initial capital investment
of $300,000, GFSC has grown to include 6 offices and over $47
million in loans. GFSC generated $2.7 million of net income in
2011, an incredible return on our investment.

We attribute the extraordinary results to understanding this
specialty finance niche but more importantly, to the leadership 
and associates of GFSC.

Earl Osborne, Chairman and CEO of GFSC, joined Park in 1999, 
not long after he and his family sold the former Modern Finance
Company. Earl impressed us early on with his knowledge, integrity
and moral compass. He has fit into the Park organization over 
the past 13 years as if he had been here forever. He brought Matt
Marsh, the president of GFSC, into Guardian at an early stage and
both of them have done terrific work building a team of associates
who extend unique financial services to sectors within our
economy not typically served by the banking industry. We are
grateful for their consistent and outstanding performance.

Technology
Our long-term success requires a sustained and thoughtful
investment in technology.

Our technology agenda in 2012 includes:

(cid:129) Undertake electronic delivery enhancements that benefit 

our customers

(cid:129) Implement enhancements to our core operating system
(cid:129) Upgrade the data network connecting our 135 offices in 

Ohio and northern Kentucky

(cid:129) Complete the ATM replacements and upgrades

We are especially pleased to have a full suite of technology 
options available for our customers who prefer to use electronic
methods to conduct banking rather than rely exclusively on our
conventional office facilities.

2010 and 2011 marked significant milestones as we dramatically
increased our investment in technology to better prepare us for 
the future. We continue to reap the benefits of size and scale which,
coupled with better technology at more affordable pricing, allows
us to compete effectively with the largest financial institutions.

Leadership changes
We have more leadership changes to report than has been typical
over the years.

Jim Cullers, a director of our affiliate First-Knox National Bank in
Mt. Vernon, concluded it is time to step down as a director of Park.
Jim served as a holding company board member since 1997 when
First-Knox joined our family of community banks. 

Bill Phillips, with nearly five decades of service with our Century
National Bank affiliate headquartered in Zanesville, Ohio, stepped
down as Chairman of the Century Board, retaining the title as
Chairman of Century’s Executive Committee. Bill served as director
of Park since Century joined us in 1990. He concluded, very
recently, like Jim Cullers, that it is time to step down as a Park
director.

We will miss Jim and Bill’s counsel and support. They are icons 
in their respective communities and have added immeasurable
value to Park during their time on our board. We wish them the
very best.

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

Another retirement we want to recognize affected our small corner
of the Park world. Brenda Kutan, Assistant Vice President of PNB,
stepped down in December after more than 44 years of service to
PNB. She first joined PNB in our Hebron office and filled a number
of roles prior to being recruited by Bill McConnell to become his
assistant some 35 years ago. When Bill handed over the reins to
Dan in 1999, Brenda watched closely to be sure Dan kept the 
bank out of trouble. She did what she could!

Brenda was the epitome of an executive assistant. She did a 
superb job helping both of us, in ways too countless to list. She 
also served as the secretary to the boards of directors for both PNB
and Park National Corporation. Each time we’ve seen Brenda since
retirement, she is smiling! We add this is the first year in a few
decades Brenda has not proofread this letter prior to publication.
We miss her, but enjoy working with Brenda’s successors in
executive administration, Leda Rutledge and Renae Buchanan.
Thanks for the decades of service and great memories, Brenda!

Conclusion
For those who have had the patience to read this, we are grateful.
We are thankful for the support we received from shareholders 
and customers alike as we have tried to work through some
difficult and unprecedented challenges during the past few years.
We remain highly optimistic about the future. We will succeed
because we have focused associates delivering the best financial
services to be found, anywhere.

We invite your input, value your loyalty, and are eager to serve
prospects that you direct our way. We promise, as always, to do 
all we can to make you proud of your ownership of Park.

C. Daniel DeLawder
Chairman

David L. Trautman
President

Tom Lyall assumed Bill’s former position as Chairman of the
Century board and Tom continues as Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
of Century. Pat Nash was named the new President of Century. We
appreciate Bill and Tom’s effective leadership of Century over the
past several decades, and welcome Pat to the top leadership rank.

Gordy Yance, formerly the Chairman, President and CEO of affiliate
First-Knox National Bank, retired in mid-2011. Gordy continues 
as Chairman of the First-Knox board, in a non-executive role, and
Vickie Sant was named Gordy’s successor as the President and CEO
of First-Knox. We congratulate Gordy on a long and distinguished
career, and welcome Vickie into her new leadership role.

We note with sadness the passing of Bill Stroud, former CEO of
First-Knox. Bill was an outstanding community banker and a friend
to all who knew him. He took great pride in the development of
both Gordy and Vickie.

Jim Lingenfelter completed 2011 as President and CEO of our
affiliate in Ashland County, Farmers & Savings Bank. Ken Gosche
was named the President and CEO effective January 1, 2012. We
congratulate Ken formally, and wish Jim and his wife Elise the 
very best. Jim has our heartfelt appreciation for his leadership 
and dedication to the Loudonville community over many years.

We physically moved two presidents in 2011 to similar positions
within our Ohio affiliate system.

Dave Gooch moved from the President of our Richland Bank in
Mansfield to assume the identical role with Park National Bank of
Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky (PSW), headquartered in
Milford, Ohio. He made an immediate impact with his leadership 
at PSW and we look forward to growth and success under Dave’s
direction.

Dave was replaced in Mansfield by John Brown, formerly the
President of our Unity National Division in Piqua, Ohio. John
enjoyed a very successful tenure as the president of Unity. Richland
Bank is another excellent example of local community banking at
its best, and we are confident that John will effectively lead the
continued success at Richland.

As this is written, we’re seeking a leader for Unity National Bank.
We are fortunate that Jeff Darding, Executive Vice President of
Security Bank & Trust Company in Springfield, Ohio stepped up 
to assume interim leadership of Unity until we name a permanent
replacement.

These several changes are unusual for Park. We believe the key 
to our long-term success is attracting and retaining the best and
brightest we can find. We are delighted with the leadership in place
at our affiliate banks, and continue to be impressed by and grateful
for their untiring efforts.

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; Park’s ability to sell OREO properties 
at anticipated prices; 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; 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  pro -
fessionals; 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 concern-
ing 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 changes in accounting policies and prac-
tices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
“FASB”), the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory agencies, and the
accuracy of our assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial state-
ments; the effect of fiscal and governmental policies of the United States federal
government; the adequacy of our risk management program; a failure in or
breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our
third-party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber
attacks; demand for loans in the respective market areas served by Park and 
its subsidiaries; and other risk factors relating to our industry as detailed from
time to time in Park’s reports filed with the 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, 2011. 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.

RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 31, 2012 (the “January 31,
2012 Form 8-K”), Park announced that on January 27, 2012, management
determined that (i) Park’s previously issued audited consolidated financial
statements incorporated by reference in Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K 

for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed on February 28, 2011, and 
(ii) Park’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included 
in Park’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended
March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2011 should be restated. 

The accounting treatment giving rise to the restatement was the inclusion of
estimated future cash flows supporting the allowance for loan losses related 
to certain impaired commercial loans. For the year ended December 31, 2010,
as part of Park’s process to measure impairment on certain impaired commer-
cial loans at Vision Bank, management had relied on expected future cash 
flows from guarantors, with some of whom we were in litigation. Management
 determined that reliance on expected future cash flows, which may require
 protracted  litigation to actually be received, is inappropriate given the difficulty
in obtaining objective verifiable evidence supporting a conclusion as to the
amount and timing of the expected cash flows. GAAP requires that our assump-
tions be “reasonable and supportable” and the facts and circumstances around
the existence of protracted litigation make this assumption more difficult to
support. 

The restatement also reflected certain OREO devaluations and additional 
loan loss provisions that were not related to guarantor support. These expense
items were related to valuation issues identified at December 31, 2010, where
management utilized (i) the work of a third-party contractor, which was not 
a licensed appraiser, when calculating the fair value of collateral for certain
impaired loans and the fair value of certain OREO held by Vision Bank, and
management did not have sufficient documentation to support the estimates 
of this third-party contractor, and (ii) internal estimates of collateral value 
when calculating specific reserves for certain impaired loans when, at times,
such internal  estimates were outdated. The impact was to reverse provisions for
loan losses and OREO devaluations originally recorded in 2011 and recognize
these  provisions for loan losses and OREO devaluations in the restated audited
 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Please see the following tables for a summary of the impact on Park’s income
statement and balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the
nine months ended September 30, 2011 from the restatement.

On February 28, 2012, Park amended its previously filed 2010 Annual Report
on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011 to report the changes
set forth above. The following discussion and impact is included again to assist
in understanding those changes.

OVERVIEW
Net income for 2011 was $82.1 million compared to $58.1 million in 2010 
and $74.2 million in 2009. As previously discussed, net income for 2010 was
restated and decreased by $16.1 million as a result of an additional loan loss
provision of $22.2 million and an increase in OREO devaluations of $2.6
million at Vision Bank for 2010. The improvement in net income in 2011 
was primarily due to a reduction in the net loss at Vision Bank. The net loss 
at Vision Bank was $22.5 million in 2011, compared to a net loss of $45.4
million in 2010 and a net loss of $30.1 million in 2009.

Diluted earnings per common share were $4.95, $3.45 and $4.82 for 2011,
2010 and 2009, respectively. Diluted earnings per common share for 2010 
was originally reported as $4.51.

The following tables show the components of net income for 2011, 2010 
and 2009 for Park National Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 
The subsidiaries that will be reviewed in the tables are The Park National 
Bank (“PNB”), Vision Bank, Guardian Financial Services Company (“GFSC”) 
and the Parent Company for Park. We have also included some summary
 information on the balance sheet.

Net income for PNB exceeded $100 million for each of the past three 
years. Excluding the after-tax impact of security gains, net income was 
$91.5 million in 2011, compared to $95.2 million in 2010 and $96.7 million 
in 2009. The decrease in net income excluding the after-tax impact of security
gains in 2011, compared to 2010, was primarily due to an increase in the
 provision for loan losses of $6.7 million or 28.7%. This increase was largely
due to an increase in the provision for loan losses pertaining to participation
loans that PNB had purchased from Vision Bank in 2007 and 2008. The 
loan loss provision for those participation loans was $11.1 million in 2011.
Management expects a  significant reduction in the provision for loan losses 
at PNB in 2012 as the old participation loans with Vision Bank have largely 
been written down to current appraised values, less anticipated selling costs.
Management estimates that net income excluding the after-tax impact of 
security gains will be approximately $93 million for PNB in 2012. The 
projected reduction in the provision for loan losses of about $14 million 
is expected to be partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of 
$5 million and an increase in operating expenses of about $5 million.

SALE OF VISION BANK
On November 16, 2011, Park and Vision Bank (“Vision”) entered into a
Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Home
BancShares, Inc. (“Home”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Centennial Bank,
an Arkansas state-chartered bank (“Centennial”), to sell substantially all of 
the performing loans, operating assets and liabilities associated with Vision 
to Centennial for a purchase price of $27.9 million.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Centennial will purchase the real
estate and other assets described in the Purchase Agreement which are used in
the banking business conducted by Vision at its eight offices in Baldwin County,
Alabama and its nine offices in the Florida panhandle counties of Bay, Gulf,
Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton. Centennial will assume Vision’s obligations
relating to all of Vision’s deposit accounts, which had a balance of approxi-
mately $533 million at December 31, 2011.

Centennial will purchase performing loans, which had an unpaid principal
balance of about $369 million at December 31, 2011. These loans are shown
on Park’s balance sheet as assets held for sale. Vision will retain all of the 
non-performing loans and certain performing loans under the terms of the
Purchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2011, the nonperforming loans
totaled approximately $101 million and the performing loans totaled
 approximately $23 million. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, 
the loans being acquired by Centennial will be sold by Vision at a discount 
of $13.1 million. Prior to the transfer to assets held for sale, Vision Bank’s
allowance for loan losses totaled $23.8 million at December 31, 2011. Upon
the transfer, $13.1 million was transferred out of the allowance for loan losses
with the related loans that moved to assets held for sale. Management expects
that the remaining loans at Vision Bank will be charged down by the remaining
balance of the allowance for loan losses of $10.7 million prior to transfer to 
SE Property Holdings, LLC (“SE, LLC”). Vision Bank will be merged into SE,
LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Park, following the closing of the transaction
and the Florida banking charter will be surrendered to the state of Florida’s
Office of Financial Regulation.

On February 16, 2012, Park completed the sale of Vision Bank as contemplated
in the Purchase Agreement. Park recognized a pre-tax gain, net of expenses
directly related to the sale, of approximately $22 million.

The financial results for Vision Bank were very poor for each of the past 
three years. Real estate values in the markets in which Vision Bank operates 
in Alabama and Florida experienced sharp declines in value in 2007 and 2008.
A very high percentage of the Vision Bank loan portfolio was collateralized by
real estate. Due to the sudden and sharp decline in real estate values, these 
real estate loans became under-collateralized and the borrowers began
 experiencing financial difficulties. As a result, Vision Bank has had to record 
an extraordinarily high provision for loan losses in each of the past three years.
Additionally, devaluations and losses on the sale of other real estate owned are
included in fee income. Fee income was negative in 2010 and 2009.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, management recorded state income tax
expense of $6.1 million at Vision Bank to write off the state tax net operating
loss carryforward. With the pending sale of Vision Bank in the first quarter 
of 2012, this tax asset would not be able to be realized and needed to be 
written off.

As previously discussed, Vision Bank is being sold during the first quarter 
of 2012. We expect that the operation of Vision Bank during the first quarter 
of 2012 will result in a small loss of about $3 million in 2012, prior to the
expected pre-tax gain resulting from the sale to Centennial.

The above table shows the summary results for Park’s Parent Company, which
includes SE, LLC, the non-banking subsidiary of Park’s Parent Company, which
holds other real estate owned (“OREO”)  purchased from Vision Bank since
March 2011.

The loss at the Parent Company increased by $3.5 million in 2011 to $4.9
million, compared to a $1.4 million loss in 2010. The increase in the loss was
primarily due to devaluations and losses from the sale of OREO acquired from
Vision Bank. These charges caused other fee income to be a loss of $2.7 million
in 2011. 

After the sale of Vision Bank was completed on February 16, 2012, Vision Bank
merged into SE, LLC and became part of Park’s Parent Company. Beginning in
the first quarter of 2012, SE, LLC will become a separate segment for financial
reporting purposes. Approximately $110 million of loans became part of SE,
LLC, after the sale of Vision Bank. The servicing and collection of these loans
will add additional expenses to the Parent Company. Management estimates 
that the loss at the Parent Company will increase by approximately $5 million 
in 2012 and be about $10 million, excluding the gain from the sale of Vision
Bank. The pre-tax gain from the sale of Vision Bank is estimated to be
 approximately $22 million, net of anticipated expenses directly related to 
the sale, which results in an after-tax gain of approximately $14.3 million. 
This gain will be recognized at Vision Bank immediately prior to its merger 
into SE, LLC. Overall, including the gain from the sale of Vision Bank, we 
expect the Parent Company to earn about $4 million in 2012.

Management expects a significant improvement in net income in future 
years, because of the sale of Vision Bank in the first quarter of 2012. Over 
the past three years, Vision Bank had aggregate net losses of $98.0 million.
Management is forecasting that Park’s net income in 2012 will be approximately
$97 million. This estimate is based on projected earnings of $93 million for
PNB, $3 million for GFSC, $4 million for the Parent Company and a loss of 
$3 million at Vision Bank, before Vision Bank is merged with and into SE, LLC.
Forecasted net income for 2012 certainly benefits from the projected after-tax
gain from the sale of Vision Bank of approximately $14.3 million. However,
Park’s earnings will benefit in future years as the remaining loans from Vision
Bank are collected. Specifically, management expects Park’s Parent Company
will return to break-even net income when all of the old Vision Bank assets 
have been disposed.

SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR PARK
A year ago, Park’s management projected that net interest income would 
be $268 million to $278 million in 2011. The actual results in 2011 were
$273.2 million, right in the middle of the estimated range. Park’s management
projected that the average interest earning assets for 2011 would be approxi-
mately $6,550 million. The actual average interest earning assets for the year
were $6,641 million, 1.4% higher than the projected balance. Park’s forecast
for the net interest margin in 2011 was a range of 4.10% to 4.20%. The actual
results for the year were 4.14%, slightly below the middle of the  estimated
range.

Park’s management also projected a year ago that the provision for loan losses
would be $47 million to $57 million in 2011. The actual provision for loan
losses in 2011 was $63.3 million, which exceeded the top of the estimated
range by $6.3 million.

Fee income for 2011 was $66.1 million. A year ago, Park’s management
 projected that fee income would be in a range of $63 million to $67 million.
The actual results were $3.1 million above the bottom of the range.

Gains from the sale of securities were $28.8 million in 2011. Management had
not forecast selling securities for gains in 2011, but decided to take advantage
of market opportunities during the year.

A year ago, Park’s management projected that operating expenses would be
approximately $183 million to $187 million. Operating expenses for 2011 
were $188.3 million; $1.3 million above the top of 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
shareholders”. The dividends and accretion on the Series A Preferred Shares
totaled $5,856,000 for 2011, $5,807,000 for 2010 and $5,762,000 for 2009.
The accretion of the discount was $856,000 in 2011, $807,000 in 2010 and
$762,000 in 2009. Management expects the accretion of the discount in 2012
will be $907,000.

Income available to common shareholders is net income minus the preferred
stock dividends and accretion. Income available to common shareholders was
$76.3 million for 2011, $52.3 million for 2010, and $68.4 million for 2009.

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 2011 that totaled
$3.76 per share. The quarterly cash dividend on common shares was $0.94 per
share for each quarter of 2011.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement with the U.S. Treasury
under the CPP, prior to December 23, 2011, 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. This restriction 
lapsed on December 23, 2011.

Cash dividends declared on common shares were $3.76 in 2011, 2010 
and 2009. Park’s management expects to pay a quarterly cash dividend on 
its common shares of $0.94 per share in 2012. 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 account-
ing policies. The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of
maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb

32

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

probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s  determi -
nation 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, includ-
ing 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, 2011, 
OREO totaled $42.3 million, representing a 1.4% increase compared 
to $41.7 million at December 31, 2010.
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, 2011, financial assets valued using Level 3 inputs for Park 
had an aggregate fair value of approximately $130.8 million. This was 13.5% 
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 $87.8 million (or 67.1%) 
of the total amount of Level 3 inputs. Additionally, there were $83.4 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 remaining goodwill balance
 pertaining to Vision Bank. At December 31, 2011, on a consolidated basis, 
Park had core deposit intangibles of $2.5 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
$893,000 and the core deposit intangibles at Vision Bank were $1.6 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. 

Park’s subsidiaries compete for deposits and loans with other banks, 
savings associations, credit unions and other types of financial institutions. 
At December 31, 2011, Park and its Ohio-based banking divisions operated 
123 banking offices and a network of 143 automated teller machines in 28 
Ohio counties and one county in northern Kentucky. Vision Bank operated 
17 banking offices and a network of 15 automated teller machines in Baldwin
County, Alabama and in five counties in the panhandle of Florida.

A summary of financial data for Park’s banking subsidiaries and their divisions 
for 2011, 2010 and 2009 is shown in Table 10. 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 entities. These deposits consist of 
noninterest bearing and interest bearing deposits.
Average total deposits were $5,192 million in 2011, compared to $5,182
million in 2010 and $5,051 million in 2009.
On Park’s balance sheet, total deposits were $4,465 million at December 31,
2011, compared to $5,095 million at December 31, 2010. This represents a
decrease in total deposits of $630 million or 12.4% in 2011. The reason for 
the balance sheet showing a large decrease in deposits is due to the pending
sale of Vision Bank. The deposits for Vision Bank of $533 million at year-end
2011 are included on Park’s balance sheet in the category of liabilities held for
sale. At December 31, 2010, total deposits for Vision Bank were $633 million.
The deposits for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries increased by $3 million 
in 2011. Additionally, the brokered time deposits of $110 million on Park’s
balance sheet at December 31, 2010, matured in 2011 and were not renewed.
The brokered time deposits were with PNB at year-end 2010.

Total year-end deposits decreased by $93 million or 1.8% in 2010. Excluding
brokered deposits in 2010, certificates of deposit decreased by $359 million 
or 16.1% in 2010. Vision Bank’s year-end deposits decreased by $56 million 
or 8.0% in 2010 and deposits for Park’s Ohio based subsidiaries decreased 
by $37 million or 0.8% in 2010.

A year ago, management projected that total deposits (exclusive of brokered
deposits) would increase by 1% in 2011. The actual increase in deposits for
Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries (exclusive of brokered deposits) was about
$113 million or 2.6%. Management expects total deposits (exclusive of
 brokered deposits) to increase by 1% to 2% in 2012.

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 has maintained the targeted federal funds rate in the 0% to 0.25% range
for all of 2009, 2010 and 2011 as the U.S. economy has gradually recovered
from the severe recession. The average federal funds rate was 0.10% for 2011,
0.18% for 2010 and 0.16% for 2009. Management expects that the FOMC will
maintain the targeted federal funds rate in a range of 0% to 0.25% throughout
2012.

The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.66% in 2011,
compared to 0.98% in 2010 and 1.53% in 2009. The average cost of interest
bearing deposits for each quarter of 2011 was 0.60% for the fourth quarter,
0.63% for the third quarter, 0.67% for the second quarter and 0.74% for the
first quarter. Management expects a small decrease in the average interest rate
paid on interest bearing deposits in 2012.

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 0.28% in 2011 compared to 0.39% in 2010 and 0.76% in
2009.

34

Management expects that the average interest rate paid on short-term borrow-
ings in 2012 will be approximately the same as the average rate paid in 2011.

The year-end balance for short-term borrowings was $264 million at December
31, 2011, compared to $664 million at December 31, 2010 and $324 million
at December 31, 2009. The increase at December 31, 2010 compared to 2009
of $340 million was due to investment security purchases at year-end 2010 that
were temporarily funded through the use of 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.)
In 2011, average long-term debt was $882 million compared to $725 million in
2010 and $780 million in 2009. Average total debt (long-term and short-term)
was $1,179 million in 2011 compared to $1,026 million in 2010 and $1,200
million in 2009. Average total debt increased by $153 million or 14.9% in 2011
compared to 2010 and decreased by $174 million or 14.5% in 2010 compared
to 2009. The increase in average total debt in 2011 compared to 2010 was
 primarily due to the increase in average loans combined with an increase in
average taxable investments. Management increased the amount of long-term
debt to partially offset the interest rate risk from maintaining 15-year, fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans on Park’s balance sheet. Average long-term debt was
75% of average total debt in 2011 compared to 71% in 2010 and 65% in 2009. 

The average rate paid on long-term debt was 3.42% for 2011, compared to
3.91% for 2010 and 3.38% for 2009. Management expects that the average
interest rate paid on long-term debt in 2012 will be about the same as the
average interest rate paid on long-term debt 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 Board 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 Board.

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 Board. 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

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

 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 had
an exercise price of $76.41 per share. Warrants covering the purchase of an
aggregate of 35,992 common shares expired on June 10, 2011 and warrants
covering the purchase of the other 35,992 common shares expired on
December 10, 2011.
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 9.68% at December 31, 2011 com-
pared to 9.04% at December 31, 2010 and 9.13% at December 31, 2009.
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. Excluding the balance of
Series A Preferred Shares, the ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity 
to tangible assets was 8.25% at December 31, 2011, 7.69% at December 31,
2010 and 7.75% at December 31, 2009.
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 $12.7 million at year-
end 2011, compared to $15.1 million at year-end 2010 and $30.1 million at
year-end 2009. The decrease in the amount of unrealized holding gains on 
AFS securities, net of income taxes, at year-end 2010 and year-end 2011 was
primarily due to the sale of AFS securities in 2010 and 2011 for gains. Park 
sold AFS securities with an amortized cost value of $373 million in 2010 for 
a gain of $11.9 million and sold AFS securities with an amortized cost value 
of $557 million in 2011 for a gain of $27.7 million. The large gain from the 
sale of securities in 2011 was possible due to the sharp decline in long-term
interest rates during the year.
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
$5.0 million in 2011, a net comprehensive loss of $2.4 million in 2010 and 
a net comprehensive gain of $6.3 million in 2009. The comprehensive loss 
in 2011 and 2010 was due to changes in actuarial assumptions, specifically 
a decrease in the discount rate. This actuarial loss more than offset the positive
investment returns and contributions to the Pension Plan in 2010 and 2011.
The comprehensive gain in 2009 was due to positive investment returns and
contributions to the Pension Plan. At year-end 2011, the balance in accumu-
lated other comprehensive income/(loss) pertaining to the Pension Plan was
$(20.9) million, compared to $(15.9) million at December 31, 2010 and
$(13.5) million at December 31, 2009.
Park also recognized net comprehensive income/(loss) of $0.5 million, 
$(0.1) million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 
2010 and 2009, 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.

INVESTMENT OF FUNDS
Loans: Average loans were $4,714 million in 2011, compared to $4,642
million in 2010 and $4,594 million in 2009. The average yield on loans was
5.61% in 2011, compared to 5.80% in 2010 and 6.03% in 2009. The average
prime lending rate was 3.25% in 2011, 2010 and 2009. Approximately 59% 
of Park’s loan balances mature or reprice within one year (see Table 30). 
The yield on average loan balances for each quarter of 2011 was 5.59% for
both the fourth and third quarters, compared to 5.61% for the second quarter
and 5.63% for the first quarter. Management expects that the yield on the loan
portfolio will decrease modestly in 2012 compared to the average yield of
5.61% for 2011. At December 31, 2011, loan balances were $4,317 million
compared to $4,733 million at year-end 2010, a decrease of $416 million 
or 8.8%. The large decrease in loan balances shown on Park’s balance sheet
during 2011 was primarily due to $369 million of loans at Vision Bank being
shown on Park’s balance sheet as assets held for sale at December 31, 2011.
These loan balances will be included in the sale of Vision Bank during the first
quarter of 2012. Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries increased loans by $101
million or 2.5% to $4,193 million at year-end 2011. The remaining balance 
of Vision Bank loans at year-end 2011 of $110 million will become assets of SE,
LLC as a result of the merge of Vision Bank into SE, LLC during the first quarter
of 2012, when the sale is completed. At December 31, 2010, Vision Bank had
$641 million of loans.

In 2010, year-end loan balances increased by $92 million or 2.0%. 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% in 2010.

In 2009, year-end loan balances increased by $149 million or 3.3%. At Vision
Bank, year-end loan balances decreased by $13 million or 1.9% during 2009.
Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries increased loans by $162 million or 4.3% 
during 2009.
A year ago, management projected that year-end loan balances would 
increase by 1% to 3% in 2011. The actual change in year-end loan balances 
was a decrease of 8.8% due to the pending sale of Vision Bank. As discussed
previously, year-end loan balances for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries increased
by 2.5% in 2011. Management expects that loan growth in 2012 will be in the
1% to 3% range.
Year-end residential real estate loans were $1,629 million, $1,692 million 
and $1,555 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Residential real estate
loans decreased by $63.6 million or 3.8% in 2011, due to the pending sale of
Vision Bank. The residential real estate loans that will be included in the sale 
of Vision Bank in the first quarter of 2012 totaled $153.6 million at December
31, 2011, and were included in assets held for sale. Without the pending sale 
of Vision Bank, residential real estate loans would have increased by $90
million or 7.3% in 2011. Residential real estate loans increased by $137 million
or 8.8% in 2010 and decreased by $5 million or 0.3% in 2009. 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%. This 15-
year, fixed-rate product increased by $153 million to $329 million at December
31, 2011, and has a weighted average interest rate of 3.79%. Management
expects an increase in residential real estate loans in 2012 of 3% to 5%.
The long-term fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that Park originates are
generally sold in the secondary market and Park typically retains servicing 
on these loans. As mentioned above, during 2010, Park began to retain on its
balance sheet 15-year fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. The balance of 
sold fixed-rate residential mortgage loans was $1,347 million at year-end 2011,
compared to $1,471 million at year-end 2010 and $1,518 million at year-end
2009. The decrease in Park’s sold residential mortgage loan portfolio of $171
million in the last two years was due to the retention of the 15-year fixed-rate
 residential mortgage loan product. The increase in the 15-year fixed-rate resi-
dential mortgage loan product during 2010 and 2011, of $329 million, was
$158 million more than the decrease in the long-term fixed-rate residential

35

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

mortgage sold servicing portfolio. Management is pleased with this perform-
ance as the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage loans retained on the balance sheet
would have been sold prior to 2010 and included in the servicing portfolio.
Year-end consumer loans were $617 million, $667 million and $704 million in
2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Consumer loans decreased by $50 million
or 7.6% in 2011 and decreased by $37 million or 5.3% in 2010. The consumer
loans that will be included in the pending sale of Vision Bank were only $4
million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in consumer loans in both 2011
and 2010 was primarily due to a decline in automobile loans originated in
Ohio, as competition for automobile loans increased in 2010 and 2011.
Consumer loans increased by $61 million or 9.5% in 2009. The increase 
in consumer loans in 2009 was primarily due to an increase in automobile
loans originated through automobile dealers in Ohio. Management expects 
that consumer loans will decrease by 1% to 2% in 2012.
On a combined basis, year-end commercial, financial and agricultural loans,
real estate construction loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $2,070
million, $2,371 million and $2,377 million at year-end 2011, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. These combined loan totals decreased by $301 million or 12.7% 
in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to the pending sale of Vision Bank 
as $211 million of these combined loan totals are classified as assets held for
sale on Park’s balance sheet at December 31, 2011. These combined loan totals
declined by $6 million or 0.3% in 2010 and increased by $93 million or 4.1%
in 2009. Management expects that commercial, financial and agricultural loans,
real estate construction loans and commercial real estate loans will grow by 1%
to 3% in 2012.

Year-end lease balances were $2 million in 2011 and $3 million in both 2010
and 2009. Management continues to de-emphasize leasing and expects the
balance to further decline in 2012.

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
port folio 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 the majority 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 sponsored entity collateralized
 mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) that it purchases as held-to-maturity. A classifi-
cation 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
sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government sponsored
entity notes that Park classifies as AFS. At year-end 2011, Park’s held-to-maturity
securities portfolio was $820 million, compared to $674 million at year-end
2010 and $507 million at year-end 2009. Park purchased $628 million of
CMOs in 2011, $314 million of CMOs in 2010 and $119 million of CMOs in
2009. All of the mortgage-backed securities and CMOs in Park’s investment
portfolio were issued by a U.S. Government sponsored entity.

Average taxable investment securities were $1,841 million in 2011, compared
to $1,730 million in 2010 and $1,848 million in 2009. The average yield on
taxable securities was 3.74% in 2011, compared to 4.44% in 2010 and 4.90%
in 2009. Average tax-exempt investment securities were $8 million in 2011,
compared to $17 million in 2010 and $30 million in 2009. The average tax-
equivalent yield on tax-exempt investment securities was 7.17% in 2011,
compared to 7.24% in 2010 and 7.45% in 2009. 

Year-end total investment securities (at amortized cost) were $1,689 million 
in 2011, $2,017 million in 2010 and $1,817 million in 2009. Management
 purchased investment securities totaling $1,268 million in 2011, $3,033 
million in 2010 and $469 million in 2009. The decrease in purchases during
2011 was primarily due to the reduced interest rate environment during the
year and partially due to management’s decision to retain 15-year, fixed-rate
residential mortgage loans on Park’s balance sheet. The significant increase 
in purchases during 2010 was largely due to the purchase of $1,319 million 
of 28-day U.S. Government sponsored entity discount notes and $823 million 
of U.S. Government sponsored entity callable notes. Proceeds from repayments
and maturities of investment securities were $1,013 million in 2011, $2,385
million in 2010 and $467 million in 2009. The decrease in proceeds from
repayments and maturities in 2011 was primarily due to relative fewer holdings
of 28-day U.S. Government sponsored entity discount notes during the year. 
The increase in proceeds from repayments and maturities in 2010 was
 primarily due to the 28-day U.S. Government sponsored entity discount notes
and U.S. Government sponsored entity callable notes, which had repayments 
or maturities of $1,319 million and $710 million, respectively, during the year.
Proceeds from sales of securities were $610 million in 2011, $460 million in
2010 and $204 million in 2009. Park realized net security gains on a pre-tax
basis of $28.8 million in 2011, $11.9 million in 2010 and $7.3 million in 2009. 

During 2011, Park sold investment securities during the first, second, third and
fourth quarters. In total, these sales resulted in proceeds of $610.0 million and
a pre-tax gain of $28.8 million. 

During the first quarter of 2011, Park sold $105.4 million of U.S. Government
sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities for a pre-tax gain of $6.6 million.
These mortgage-backed securities had a weighted average remaining life 
of approximately 2 years, a weighted average book yield of 5.02% and were
sold at an average price of 106.2% of the principal balance with an estimated
yield to the buyer of 2.10%. Additionally, Park sold $1.0 million of municipal
securities held by Vision Bank for no gain or loss in the first quarter to 
reduce credit risk in the investment securities portfolio. These securities 
had a weighted average tax-equivalent yield of 5.75% and a weighted average
remaining life of approximately 4 years.

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

During the second quarter of 2011, Park sold $191.0 million of U.S.
Government sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities for a pre-tax 
gain of $15.4 million. These mortgage-backed securities had a weighted
average remaining life of approximately 3 years, a weighted average book 
yield of 5.25% and were sold at an average price of 107.4% of the principal
balance with an estimated yield to the buyer of 1.92%.

During the third quarter of 2011, Park sold $212.8 million of U.S. Government
sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities for a pre-tax gain of $3.5 million.
These mortgage-backed securities had a weighted average book yield of 2.60%
and a weighted average remaining life of approximately 3 years and were sold 
at an average price of 104.5% of the principal balance with an estimated yield
to the buyer of 2.03%.

Late in the fourth quarter of 2011, Park liquidated Vision Bank’s securities
 portfolio. These securities were sold in preparation of the sale of Vision Bank
during the first quarter of 2012. Park sold $45.7 million of U.S. Government
sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities (available-for-sale securities) 
and $24.3 million of U.S. Government sponsored entity CMOs (held-to-maturity
securities) held by Vision Bank for a pre-tax gain of $3.4 million. While man-
agement would not normally sell held-to-maturity investment securities, the
CMO’s held by Vision Bank were sold late in 2011 as management liquidated
the entire Vision Bank securities portfolio in anticipation of the sale. These
securities had a weighted average book yield of 4.37% and a weighted average
remaining life of approximately 3 years. These securities were sold at an
average price of approximately 104.9% of the principal balance with an
 estimated yield to the buyer of 2.12%. Park also sold $896,000 of municipal
securities held by Vision Bank for a pre-tax gain of $15,000. The weighted
average tax-equivalent yield on these municipal securities was 5.96% with 
a weighted average remaining life of approximately 2 years. The proceeds 
from the sale of the Vision Bank securities were used to purchase U.S. Agency
discount notes that mature during the first quarter of 2012.

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
sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities for a pre-tax gain of $8.3 million.
These mortgage-backed securities had a weighted average remaining life of
approximately 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
sponsored entity 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
sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities for a pre-tax gain of $3.5 million.
These mortgage-backed securities had a weighted average remaining life of
approximately 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
sponsored entity 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.

At year-end 2011 and 2010, the average tax-equivalent yield on the total
 investment portfolio was 3.31% and 4.01%, respectively. The weighted 
average remaining maturity was 1.7 years at December 31, 2011 and 3.6 
years at December 31, 2010. U.S. Government sponsored entity asset-backed
securities were approximately 74% of the total investment portfolio at year-end
2011 and were approximately 82% of the total investment portfolio at year-end
2010. This segment of the investment portfolio consists predominantly 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
sponsored entity notes would extend to their maturity dates. At year-end 2011,
management estimated that the average maturity of the investment portfolio
would lengthen to 5.3 years with a 100 basis point increase in long-term
 interest rates and to 7.0 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
 sponsored entity notes would shorten to their call dates. At year-end 2011,
 management estimated that the average maturity of the investment portfolio
would decrease to 1.0 years with a 100 basis point decrease in long-term
 interest rates and to 0.8 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 15 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.)

Net interest income decreased slightly by $810,000 or 0.3% to $273.2 million
for 2011 compared to an increase of $553,000 or 0.2% to $274.0 million for
2010. The tax equivalent net yield on interest earning assets was 4.14% for
2011 compared to 4.26% for 2010 and 4.22% for 2009. The net interest rate
spread (the difference between rates received for interest earning assets and 
the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities) was 3.94% for 2011, compared to
4.01% for 2010 and 3.94% for 2009. The small decrease in net interest income
in 2011 was due to the decrease in the net interest spread to 3.94% from
4.01%. The average balance of interest earning assets increased by $159
million or 2.5% to $6,641 million in 2011.

(1) Loan income includes loan related fee income of $2,381 in 2011, $238 in 2010 and $1,669 in 2009. Loan income also includes the effects of taxable equivalent adjustments using a 35% tax rate in 2011,

2010 and 2009. The taxable equivalent adjustment was $1,734 in 2011, $1,614 in 2010 and $1,294 in 2009.

(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 2011, 2010 and 2009. The taxable equivalent adjustments were $204 in
2011, $434 in 2010 and $788 in 2009.

(4)

Includes subordinated debenture and subordinated notes.

The average yield on interest earning assets was 5.03% in 2011 compared to
5.36% in 2010 and 5.67% in 2009. The average federal funds rate for 2011 
was 0.10%, compared to an average rate of 0.18% in 2010 and 0.16% in 2009.
On a quarterly basis for 2011, the average yield on interest earning assets was
4.93% for the fourth quarter, 4.95% for the third quarter, 5.08% for the second
quarter and 5.14% for the first quarter. Management expects that the average
yield on interest earning assets will slightly decrease in 2012.

The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 1.09% in 2011,
 compared to 1.35% in 2010 and 1.73% in 2009. On a quarterly basis for 
2011, the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 1.07% for both
the fourth and third quarters, 1.09% for the second quarter and 1.14% for the
first quarter. Management expects that the average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities will modestly decrease in 2012.

Management expects that average interest earning assets will decrease signifi-
cantly in 2012, due to the sale of Vision Bank during the first quarter of 2012.
Management projects that average interest earning assets will be approximately
$6,200 million for 2012. Management expects that net interest income will be
in a range of $240 million to $250 million in 2012 and that the tax equivalent
net interest margin will be in a range of 3.88% to 3.98% in 2012. (Please 
see the “Summary Discussion of Operating Results for Park” section of 
this Financial Review for a comparison of 2011 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.

Other Income: Total other income was $94.9 million in 2011, compared 
to $74.9 million in 2010 and $81.2 million in 2009. The large increase in total
other income of $20.0 million in 2011 compared to 2010, was primarily due 
to the large increase in net gains from the sale of investment securities. The 
net gain from the sale of investment securities was $28.8 million in 2011,
 compared to a net gain of $11.9 million in 2010. 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 $1.1 million or 7.9% to $15.0
million in 2011 and increased by $1.4 million or 11.3% to $13.9 million in
2010. The increase in fiduciary fee income in 2011 and 2010 was primarily due
to improvements in the equity markets 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 8,885 for calendar year 2009, 10,669
for calendar year 2010 and 11,958 for calendar year 2011. The market value 
of the assets that Park manages was $3.3 billion at December 31, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, compared to $3.1 billion at December 31, 2009.
Management expects an increase of approximately 2% to 4% in fee income
from fiduciary activities in 2012.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $1.4 million or 7.2% to
$18.3 million in 2011 and decreased by $2.3 million or 10.3% to $19.7 million
in 2010. The decrease in service charge income in 2011 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 2011 and, as a result, this fee income decreased by $1.3 million
or 8.7% in 2011 compared to 2010. Management expects that revenue from
service charges on deposits in 2012 will be within a range of $16 million to 
$18 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 $3.2 million, or 23.2%, to $10.6 million in 2011, compared to
$13.8 million in 2010. The decrease in other service income was primarily due
to a decline in the amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans originated and sold in
2011. The amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans originated and sold in 2011 
was $190 million, compared to $358 million in 2010 and $615 million in
2009. As previously discussed, Park began to originate and retain 15-year,
fixed-rate residential mortgages in 2010, which contributed to the decline in
loans sold in the secondary market. The balance of loans for this product was
$329 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $153 million compared 
to $176 million at December 31, 2010. Management expects an increase 
in  residential real estate loans in 2012 of 3% to 5%. In 2010, other service 
income decreased by $5.0 million or 26.4% to $13.8 million, which 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 compared to 2009.
Park’s management expects that the volume of sold fixed-rate residential
 mortgage loans will continue to decline in 2012 and as a result expects that
other service income will decrease by approximately 12% to 14% in 2012.

Checkcard fee income, which is generated from debit card transactions
increased $1.3 million or 11.8% to $12.5 million in 2011. During 2010,
 checkcard fee income increased $1.8 million or 19.7% to $11.2 million. 
The increases in both 2011 and 2010 were attributable to continued increases
in the volume of debit card transactions. Park’s management expects checkcard
fee income will decline by approximately 4% to 6% in 2012, largely due to 
the full year impact of the Durbin Amendment that became a part of the 
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and became
effective on October 1, 2011.

OREO devaluations, which result from declines in the fair value (less
 anticipated selling costs) of property acquired through foreclosure, totaled 
$8.2 million in 2011, a decrease of $5.0 million or 37.8% compared to $13.2
million in 2010. The OREO devaluations in 2011 related primarily to other real
estate owned at Vision Bank. As previously discussed, throughout the 2011 year,
Vision Bank’s OREO property was transferred to SE, LLC. Of the $8.2 million 
in OREO devaluations in 2011, $3.0 million and $4.2 million were related 
to devaluations recognized at Vision Bank and SE, LLC, respectively. Park’s
 management expects that OREO devaluations will be less significant in 2012 
as property values throughout Park’s footprint continue to stabilize.

The subcategory of “Other” income includes fees earned from the sale 
of  official checks and printed checks, rental fee income from safe deposit
boxes, gains and losses from the sale of OREO and other miscellaneous income.
Total other income increased by $425,000 or 4.4% to $10.1 million in 2011
and decreased by $268,000 or 2.7% to $9.7 million in 2010. Park’s manage-
ment expects 2012 revenue within the  sub category of other income, prior to the
impact of the Vision Bank sale, will be consistent with the results experienced 
in 2011. On February 16, 2012, the sale of Vision Bank closed and a pre-tax
gain of $22 million, net of anticipated expenses directly related to the sale, 
was recognized by Park’s Parent Company.

Park recognized net gains from the sale of investment securities of $28.8
million in 2011, $11.9 million in 2010 and $7.3 million in 2009. The majority
of the investment securities sold in 2011, with an amortized cost of $579.2
million, were U.S. Government sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities.
The remaining investment securities sold in 2011 were municipal securities.
The following table provides a summary of the gains realized from the sale of
investment securities in 2011. Park’s management does not expect to recognize
any gains from the sale of investment securities in 2012.

A year ago, Park’s management forecast that total other income, excluding gains
from the sale of securities, would be approximately $63 million to $67 million
for 2011. The actual performance for 2011 was in line with management’s
 original estimate, at $66.1 million. For 2012, Park’s management expects 
that total other income, excluding gains from the sale of Vision Bank, will 
be approximately $62 million to $66 million.

Other Expense: Total other expense was $188.3 million in 2011, compared 
to $187.1 million in 2010 and $188.7 million in 2009. Total other expense
increased by $1.2 million, or 0.6%, to $188.3 million in 2011. Total other
expense decreased by $1.6 million or 0.9% to $187.1 million in 2010. The
 following table displays total other expense for Park in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased by $3.8 million or 3.8% to
$102.1 million in 2011 and decreased by $2.9 million or 2.9% to $98.3 million
in 2010. The increase in 2011 was primarily related to an increase in employee
benefit costs, due to an increase in medical claims of $2.6 million. Full-time
equivalent employees at year-end 2011 were 1,920, compared to 1,969 at 
year-end 2010 and 2,024 at year-end 2009. A year ago, Park’s management
 projected that salaries and benefit expense would be $102 million for 2011.
The actual performance for the year was consistent with this estimate. For 2012,
management is projecting a decline in salaries and employee benefits expense
to $95 million to $97 million, primarily due to the sale of Vision Bank.

Fees and service charges increased by $1.1 million or 5.7% to $21.1 million 
in 2011 and increased by $4.0 million or 25.3% to $20.0 million in 2010. 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 increase in fees and service charges expense in both
2010 and 2011 was primarily due to an increase in legal fees and consulting
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 $18 million in 2012.

Insurance expense decreased by $2.2 million or 24.1% to $6.8 million in 2011
and decreased by $3.1 million or 25.6% to $9.0 million in 2010. During the
third quarter of 2011, Park began recognizing insurance expense for premiums
paid to the FDIC based on a new assessment methodology utilizing total assets
less tangible equity. The new methodology resulted in a decline in insurance
expense in the second half of 2011 and will impact the full 2012 year. Park’s
management expects that insurance expense will be between $5 million to 
$6 million in 2012.

40

The subcategory “other” expense includes expenses for supplies, travel,
 charitable contributions, amortization of low income housing tax investments,
state taxes, expenses pertaining to other real estate owned and other miscella-
neous expenses. The subcategory other expense increased by $276,000 or
1.5% to $18.7 million in 2011 and increased by $329,000 or 1.8% to $18.4
million in 2010. 
A year ago, Park’s management projected that total other expense would be
approximately $183 million to $187 million in 2011. The actual expense for the
year of $188.3 million was $1.3 million or 0.7% higher than the upper end of
management’s estimate. Management expects that total other expense for 2012
will be approximately $170 million to $175 million.
Income Taxes: Federal income tax expense was $28.3 million in 2011,
 compared to $17.8 million in 2010 and $25.4 million in 2009. Federal 
income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes, adjusted for 
the state income tax expense or benefit, was 25.6% in 2011, compared to
23.4% in 2010 and to 25.5% in 2009. 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. For the year ending December 
31, 2012, management expects the effective federal income tax rate will be
between 26% and 28%.
State income tax expense was $6.1 million in 2011, compared to state income
tax benefits of $1.2 million in 2010 and $2.5 million in 2009. All of the state
income tax expense or benefit pertains to Vision Bank, as Park and its Ohio-
based subsidiaries do not pay state income tax to the state of Ohio, but pay
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. 
Park recognized $6.1 million in state tax expense during 2011, which was 
the charge necessary to write-off the previously reported state operating loss
carryforward asset and other state deferred tax assets at Vision Bank. Prior 
to the execution of the Purchase Agreement with Centennial, management of
Park believed that a merger of Vision Bank into The Park National Bank (the
national bank subsidiary of Park) would enable Park to fully utilize the state 
net operating loss carryforward asset recorded at Vision Bank. The structure 
of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement will not allow
either the buyer or the seller to benefit from the  previously recorded net
 operating loss carryforward asset at Vision Bank to offset future taxable income;
therefore, this asset was written-off by Vision Bank at December 31, 2011. 
State income tax expense was a credit in 2010 and 2009 as a result of losses 
at Vision Bank in those years. Park performed an analysis in those years to
determine if a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was 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 $3.46 million and a valuation allowance 
of $2.30 million ($1.5 million net of the federal income tax benefit). 

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 $63.3 million in 2011, $87.1 million in 2010
and $68.8 million in 2009. Net loan charge-offs were $125.1 million in 2011,
$60.2 million in 2010 and $52.2 million in 2009. The ratio of net loan charge-
offs to average loans was 2.65% in 2011, 1.30% in 2010 and 1.14% in 2009.

The loan loss provision for Vision Bank was $31.1 million in 2011, $61.4
million in 2010 and $44.4 million in 2009. Net loan charge-offs for Vision Bank
were $75.9 million in 2011, $36.6 million in 2010 and $28.9 million in 2009.
Vision Bank’s ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 13.04% in
2011, 5.48% in 2010 and 4.18% in 2009.

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

Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries had a combined loan loss provision of $32.2
million in 2011, $25.7 million in 2010 and $24.4 million in 2009. Net loan
charge-offs for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries were $49.2 million in 2011,
$23.6 million in 2010 and $23.3 million in 2009. The net loan charge-off ratio
for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries was 1.19% for 2011 and 0.60% for both
2010 and 2009. Of the $49.2 million in net loan charge-offs for Park’s Ohio-
based subsidiaries in 2011, $18.1 million related to participations in Vision
Bank loans that PNB had purchased. Absent the charge-offs on these Vision
Bank loan participations, net charge-offs for Park’s Ohio-based operations 
were $31.1 million and the net loan charge-off ratio was 0.75% for 2011.

At year-end 2011, the allowance for loan losses was $68.4 million or 1.59% 
of total loans outstanding, compared to $143.6 million or 3.03% of total loans
outstanding at year-end 2010 and $116.7 million or 2.52% of total loans out-
standing at year-end 2009. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans outstanding in 2011 is primarily due to the significant
decrease in specific reserves established for impaired commercial loans. 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

As disclosed in Table 21 above, Park’s general reserves were $52.5 million 
at December 31, 2011, a decline of approximately $24.2 million in 2011 
from $76.7 million at December 31, 2010. A significant portion of the decline
in general reserves is due to the impact of the sale of Vision Bank, as $13.1
million of general reserves were transferred to assets held for sale at December
31, 2011. As such, the Vision Bank sale results in a significant decline in 
non-impaired loans and the general reserves associated with those loans. 
The retained Vision Bank loan portfolio, as noted in Table 22 above, had 
a general reserve balance of $1.85 million at December 31, 2011, a decline 
of $13.2 million from the general reserve balance of $15.0 million at December
31, 2010. The remaining decline in general reserves of $11.0 million is a result
of declines in new nonaccrual loans and delinquent loans throughout Park’s
loan portfolio. Management expects new nonaccrual loans in 2012 will con-
tinue to be well below levels experienced in 2009 and 2010, and as a result 
of the Vision Bank sale, will also decline from the levels experienced in 2011.
The following table shows new nonaccrual loans for 2011 and the two previous
years.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at year-end 2011 
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 2012 will be approximately 
$20 million to $27 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 2012; (2) new  non -
performing loans will continue to decline in 2012; and (3) loan delinquencies
continue to remain at or near their current low levels. This estimated range
could change significantly as circumstances for individual loans and economic
conditions change.

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

A year ago, management projected the provision for loan losses would be $47
million to $57 million in 2011. The actual performance was above the high 
end of our expectation by $6.3 million, at $63.3 million for the 2011 year. As
previously discussed, Park restated its financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2010 and for each of the quarterly periods in 2011. This restate-
ment resulted in a $22.2 million increase to the provision for loan losses for the
year ended December 31, 2010 and a decrease to the provision for loan losses
of $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As discussed
throughout the remainder of this “Credit Experience” section, the primary
reasons that the provision for loan losses was greater than management’s pro-
jection were declines in collateral values for those loans that are collateral
dependent. The table below provides a summary of the loan loss experience

As of December 31, 2011, 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 on
accrual status; and 3) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or 
more as to principal or interest payments but whose interest continues to
accrue. Prior to Park’s adoption of ASU 2011-02, Park classified all troubled
debt restructurings (TDRs) as nonaccrual loans. With the adoption of ASU
2011-02, management determined it was appropriate to return certain TDRs 
to accrual status. Specifically, if the restructured note has been current for 
a period of at least six months, and management expects the borrower will
remain current throughout the renegotiated contract, the loan may be returned
to accrual status. At December 31, 2011, management deemed it appropriate to
return $28.6 million TDRs to accrual status, while the remaining $92.1 million
of TDRs are on nonaccrual status. At December 31, 2010, there were $80.7
million of troubled debt restructurings included in nonaccrual loan totals.
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 2011 was $264.2 million. Park
has forgone interest income of approximately $12.8 million from nonaccrual
loans as of December 31, 2011 that would have been earned during the year 
if all loans had performed in accordance with their original terms.

During the first quarter of 2011, Park formed SE, LLC, a limited liability
company under the laws of the state of Ohio as a direct subsidiary of Park. 
The purpose of SE, LLC is to purchase OREO from Vision Bank and continue 
to market such property for sale. As of December 31, 2011, approximately
$29.0 million of OREO was held by SE, LLC and purchased from Vision Bank 
(at the then current fair market value) during 2011. Management plans to
 continue marketing the properties held by SE, LLC and sell such properties 
in an efficient manner.

Vision Bank nonperforming assets for the last five years were as follows:

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 and 2011, 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 five 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 $134.5 million of commercial loans included on the watch list 
of potential problem commercial loans at December 31, 2011 compared 
to $238.7 million at year-end 2010 and $277.7 million at year-end 2009.
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 3.1% in 2011, 5.0% in 2010 and 6.0% in 2009.
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, 2011, loans considered 
to be impaired consisted substantially of commercial loans graded as “doubt-
ful” and placed on non-accrual status. These specific reserves are typically
based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing
these loans. The amount ultimately charged-off for these loans may be different
from the specific reserve as the ultimate liquidation of the collateral may be for
amounts different from management’s estimates.

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, 2011, management had taken partial charge-offs of
approximately $103.8 million related to the $191.5 million of commercial
loans considered to be impaired, compared to charge-offs of approximately
$53.6 million related to the $250.9 million of impaired commercial loans 
at December 31, 2010. 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 in Vision Bank’s Florida and Alabama
markets due to the illiquid nature of the collateral, and thus management 
had significant specific reserves recorded at Vision Bank of $53.9 million 
at December 31, 2010. During 2011, Park determined it was appropriate 
to charge-off the majority of the specific reserves at Vision Bank, and total
 specific reserves were down to $8.9 million at December 31, 2011.

A significant portion of Park’s allowance for loan losses is allocated to commer-
cial loans classified as “special mention” or “substandard.” “Special mention”
loans are loans that have potential weaknesses that may result in loss exposure
to Park. “Substandard” loans are those that exhibit a well defined weakness,
jeopardizing repayment of the loan, resulting in a higher probability that Park
will suffer a loss on the loan unless the weakness is corrected. Park’s annual-
ized 36-month loss experience, defined as charge-offs plus changes in specific
reserves, within the commercial loan portfolio has been 0.71% of the principal
balance of these loans. This annualized 36-month loss experience excludes
Vision Bank loans, as the majority of the Vision Bank performing loan portfolio
will be acquired by Centennial Bank. The allowance for loan losses related to
performing commercial loans was $37.9 million or 1.69% of the outstanding
principal balance of other accruing commercial loans at December 31, 2011.

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 increased by $23.7 million during 2011 to $157.5
million at year-end. Cash provided by operating activities was $126.7 million 
in 2011, $126.1 million in 2010 and $72.3 million in 2009. Net income was 
the primary source of cash for operating activities during each year. 

Cash provided by investing activities was $271.2 million in 2011. Cash used 
in investing activities was $352.1 million in 2010 and $5.3 million in 2009.
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
provided cash of $354.8 million in 2011, used cash of $187.7 million in 2010
and provided cash of $202.7 million in 2009. 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 $75.1 million in 2011, $152.5 million in 2010 and $199.9
million in 2009. 

Cash used in financing activities was $374.2 million in 2011 and $79.2 million
in 2009. Cash provided by financing activities was $200.6 million in 2010. 
A major source of cash for financing activities is the net change in deposits.
Deposits decreased and used $97.7 million of cash in 2011, and also decreased
in 2010 and used cash of $92.6 million. In 2009, deposits increased and
 provided cash of $426.3 million. Another major source of cash for financing
activities is short-term borrowings and long-term debt. In 2011, net short-
term borrowings declined, using $400.1 million in cash and net long-term
 borrowings increased, providing $186.4 million in cash. In 2010, net short-
term borrowings increased, providing $339.5 million in cash and net long-
term borrowings declined, using $17.6 million in cash. In 2009, net short-term
 borrowings declined, using $335.0 million in cash and net long-term borrow-
ings declined, using $201.2 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 provided cash of $33.5 million 
in 2010 and $53.5 million in 2009. The issuance of subordinated notes in 2009
provided cash of $35.3 million. Additionally, cash declined by $62.9 million in
2011, $62.1 million in 2010 and $58.0 million in 2009, from cash dividends
paid.

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.

The overall reserve of 1.69% for other accruing commercial loans breaks down
as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved at 1.36%; special mention
commercial loans are reserved at 5.20%; and substandard commercial loans
are reserved at 14.90%. The reserve levels for pass-rated, special mention 
and substandard commercial loans in excess of the annualized 36-month 
loss  experience of 0.71% are due to the following factors which management
reviews on a quarterly or annual basis:

■ Loss Emergence Period Factor: Annually during the fourth quarter,
management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial
loan segment. This loss emergence period is calculated based upon the
average period of time it takes a credit to move from pass-rated to  non -
accrual. If the loss emergence period for any commercial loan segment is
greater than one year, management applies additional general reserves to
all performing loans within that segment of the commercial loan portfolio.

■ Loss Migration Factor: Park’s commercial loans are individually risk
graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default increases, 
and accordingly, management allocates a higher percentage reserve to
those accruing commercial loans graded special mention and substan-
dard. Annually, management calculates a loss migration factor for each
commercial loan segment for special mention and substandard credits
based on a review of losses over the past three year period, considering
how each individual credit was rated at the beginning of the three year
period.

■ Environmental Loss Factor: Management has identified certain

 macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s
commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed
quarterly and adjustments to the environmental loss factor impacting 
each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlates 
to changes in the macroeconomic environment.

Generally, consumer loans are not individually graded. Consumer loans include:
(1) mortgage and installment loans included in the construction real estate
segment of the loan portfolio; (2) mortgage, home equity lines of credit
(HELOC), and installment loans included in the residential real estate segment
of the loan portfolio; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment of the
loan portfolio. The amount of loan loss reserve assigned to these loans is based
on historical loss experience over the past 36 months. Management generally
considers a one-year coverage period (the “Historical Loss Factor”) appropri-
ate because the probable loss on any given loan in the consumer loan pool
should ordinarily become apparent in that time frame. However, management
may incorporate adjustments to the Historical Loss Factor as circumstances
warrant additional reserves (e.g., increased loan delinquencies, improving or
deteriorating economic conditions, changes in lending management and under-
writing standards, etc.). At December 31, 2011, the coverage level within the
consumer portfolio was approximately 1.38 years.

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.

Investment securities and loans that are subject to prepayment are shown in the table by the
earlier of their re-pricing date or their expected repayment date and not by their contractual
 maturity date. Nonaccrual loans of $195.1 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 55% of interest bearing transaction accounts and 22% of savings accounts 
are  considered to re-price within one year. If all of the interest bearing checking accounts and
savings  accounts were considered to re-price within one year, the one year cumulative gap
would change from a positive 21.46% to a positive 2.80%.

The interest rate sensitivity gap analysis provides a good overall picture of
Park’s static interest rate risk position. At December 31, 2011, the cumulative
interest earning assets maturing or repricing within twelve months were 
$3,934 million compared to the cumulative interest bearing liabilities maturing
or repricing within twelve months of $2,558 million. For the twelve-month
cumulative gap position, rate sensitive assets exceed rate sensitive liabilities 
by $1,376 million or 21.46% of interest earning assets. 

At December 31, 2011, Park had $369 million in loans held for sale which
 represents loans to be sold by Vision Bank to Centennial. Also, at December 31,
2011, Park had $453 million of interest bearing deposits held for sale which
represents the interest bearing deposits to be sold by Vision Bank to Centennial.
These interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities are included in the
0-3 months portion of Table 30.

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 2010 was a positive $648 million or 9.53% of interest earning
assets. The percentage of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within
one year was 61.3% at year-end 2011 compared to 53.7% at year-end 2010.
The percentage of interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within 
one year was 50.3% at year-end 2011 compared to 54.2% at year-end 2010.

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
incorporates 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 instruments 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, 2011, the earnings simulation model projected that
net income would increase by 2.14% using a rising interest rate scenario and
decrease by 3.52% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. 
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 
and 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.
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
relatively stable over the past three years at 4.14% in 2011, 4.26% in 2010, and
4.22% in 2009. 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 3.88%
to 3.98% in 2012. The expected decline in the net interest margin in 2012 is
primarily due to the decrease in long-term interest rates during the second half
of 2011. This decline in interest rates will negatively impact the yield on our
investment portfolio in 2012.

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, 2011, the Corporation had $809.1 million of loan commit-
ments for commercial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate 
loans and had $18.8 million of standby letters of credit. At December 31, 
2010, the Corporation had $716.6 million of loan commitments for  com -
mercial, commercial real estate and residential real estate loans and had 
$24.5 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 2012. 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, 2011.

Capital: Park’s primary means of maintaining capital adequacy is through 
net retained earnings. At December 31, 2011, the Corporation’s stockholders’
equity was $742.4 million, compared to $729.7 million at December 31, 2010.
Stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 was 10.65% of total assets com-
pared to 10.02% of total assets at December 31, 2010. 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 $667.5 million at December 31, 2011 and was $651.3
million at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011, tangible stockholders’
equity was 9.68% of total tangible assets (total assets less goodwill and other
intangible assets), compared to 9.04% at December 31, 2010.

46

Tangible common equity (tangible stockholders’ equity less the balance of 
the Series A Preferred Shares) was $569.4 million at December 31, 2011
 compared to $554.0 million at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011,
tangible common equity was 8.25% of tangible assets, compared to 7.69% 
at December 31, 2010.

Net income for 2011 was $82.1 million, $58.1 million in 2010 and $74.2
million in 2009. 

Preferred stock dividends paid as a result of Park’s participation in the CPP
were $5.0 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009. Accretion of the discount on 
the Series A Preferred Shares was $856,000 in 2011, $807,000 in 2010 and
$762,000 in 2009. Income available to common shareholders is net income
less the preferred stock dividends and accretion. Income available to common
shareholders was $76.3 million for 2011, $52.3 million in 2010, and $68.4
million in 2009.

Cash dividends declared for common shares were $57.9 million in 2011, 
$57.1 million in 2010, and $53.6 million in 2009. On a per share basis, the
cash dividends declared were $3.76 per share in 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Park did not purchase any treasury stock during 2011, 2010 or 2009. Treasury
stock had a balance in stockholders’ equity of $77.0 million at December 31,
2011, $77.7 million at December 31, 2010, and $125.3 million at December
31, 2009. During 2011, the value of treasury stock was reduced by $726,000 
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 divi-
sions). 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 2011 or 2010. 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 dis-
cussed above (see Note 1 and Note 26 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, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $(8.8) million at
December 31, 2011 compared to $(1.9) million at December 31, 2010 and
$15.7 million at December 31, 2009. 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.

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

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. During the 2011 year,
the change in net unrealized gains, net of tax, was a gain of $16.3 million and
Park realized after-tax gains of $18.7 million, resulting in an unrealized gain 
of $12.7 million at December 31, 2011. In addition, Park recognized other
comprehensive loss of $5.0 million related to the change in Pension Plan 
assets and benefit obligations in 2011 compared to a loss of $2.4 million in
2010. Finally, Park has recognized other comprehensive gain of $0.5 million 
in 2011 due to the mark-to-market of a cash flow hedge at December 31, 2011
compared to a $0.1 million loss in comprehensive income for the year ended
December 31, 2010.

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 intan-
gible assets divided by tangible assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio is
greater than or equal to 5%. Park’s leverage ratio was 9.81% at December 
31, 2011 and exceeded the minimum capital required by $409 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 14.15% at December 
31, 2011 and exceeded the minimum capital required by $495 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
16.65% at December 31, 2011 and exceeded the minimum capital required 
by $422 million.

At December 31, 2011, Park exceeded the well capitalized regulatory guidelines
for bank holding companies. Park exceeded the well capitalized leverage capital
ratio of 5% by $339 million, exceeded the well capitalized Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 6% by $398 million and exceeded the well capitalized total 
risk-based capital ratio of 10% by $324 million.

The two financial institution subsidiaries of Park each met the well 
capitalized ratio guidelines at December 31, 2011. 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 36 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,
2006 to December 31, 2011. 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 institutions, 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 36, 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
2.6%. 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 5.5%, negative 11.7% and
 negative 17.8%, 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, 2011, 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, 2011.

The Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, has audited the Corporation’s 
2011 and 2010 consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report and the Corporation’s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, 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, 2011 and 2010
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, 2011. We also have audited Park National Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting
as of December 31, 2011, 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, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, 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, 2011, 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
 significant 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 through February 29, 2012, determining no events require additional
 disclosure in these consolidated financial statements, with the exception of 
the subsequent event discussed in Note 27 of these Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

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 $38.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $37.8
million at December 31, 2010. No other compensating balance arrangements
were in existence at December 31, 2011.

Investment Securities
Investment securities are classified upon acquisition into one of three
 categories: 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 compre-
hensive 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 whether Park intends to sell, or it is more likely
than not to be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before
recovery of its amortized cost basis. Declines in equity securities that are con-
sidered to be other-than-temporary are recorded as a charge to earnings in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. Declines in debt securities that are consid-
ered 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.

58

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, The Park National Bank (PNB) and
Vision Bank (“VB” or “Vision”), are members of the FHLB. Additionally, PNB 
is a member of the 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 $11.5 million and $8.3 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010,
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. Accrued 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 cash is actually received.
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. 

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 Company’s charge-off policy for consumer loans is dependent on the class
of the loan. Residential 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.

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
 characteristics 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 commercial and industrial businesses, 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  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 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 con-
struction loan occurs and foreclosure follows, the subsidiary bank must take
control of the project and attempt either to arrange for completion of construc-
tion 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
 significant estimates, including the timing and amounts of expected cash flows
on impaired loans, consideration of current economic conditions, and  his -
torical 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, 2011, 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 2009, 2010 and
2011 within the individual segments of 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 judgmental reserve,
increasing the total allowance for loan loss coverage in the consumer portfolio
to approximately 1.38 years of historical loss. The loss factor applied to Park’s
commercial portfolio is based on the historical loss experience over the past 

59

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

36 months, plus additional reserves for consideration of (1) a loss emergence
period factor, (2) a loss migration factor and (3) a judgmental or  environ -
mental loss factor. These additional reserves increase the total allowance for
loan loss coverage in the commercial portfolio to approximately 2.8 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 commer-
cial loans graded special mention and substandard. 

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; and levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquen-
cies, 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 con-
tractual terms of the loans will not be collected, and the recorded investment 
in the loans exceeds their measure of impairment. Management considers the
following related to commercial loans when determining if a loan should be
considered impaired: (1) current debt service coverage levels of the borrowing
entity; (2) payment history over the most recent 12-month period; (3) other
signs of deterioration in the borrower’s financial situation, such as changes 
in beacon scores; and (4) consideration of the current collateral supporting 
the loan. The recorded investment is the carrying balance of the loan, plus the
accrued interest receivable, both as of the end of the year. Impairment is meas-
ured 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.

Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDRs)
Management classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing financial
difficulties and Park has granted a concession. In order to determine whether 
a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the
probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the
foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under
the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Management’s policy is to modify
loans by extending the term or by granting a temporary or permanent  con -
tractual interest rate below the market rate, not by forgiving debt. TDRs are
separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the
present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at
inception. If a TDR is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan 
is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral.

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.

60

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 the value of real estate are classified as OREO
devaluations, are 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 an amount not to exceed fair value, with the income statement
effect recorded in gains on sale of loans. Capitalized servicing rights are amor-
tized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing income
of the underlying loan.

Mortgage servicing rights are assessed for impairment periodically, based 
on fair value, with any impairment recognized through a valuation allowance.
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 homogeneous pools of like categories. 
(See Note 20 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

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 impairment tests annually, 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.

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,
2011, the Company determined that goodwill for Park’s Ohio-based bank 
(The Park National Bank) was not impaired.

Goodwill and other intangible assets (as shown on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets) totaled $74.8 million at December 31, 2011, $78.4 million at
December 31, 2010 and $81.8 million at December 31, 2009.

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 Vision 
Bank was accelerated due to the pending acquisition of Vision Bank branches
by Centennial Bank. (See Note 3 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for details on the Vision Bank branch sale.) Core deposit intangible
amortization expense was $3.5 million in 2011, $3.4 million in 2010 and $3.7
million in 2009.

The accumulated amortization of core deposit intangibles was $19.6 million as
of December 31, 2011 and $16.1 million at December 31, 2010. The expected
core deposit intangible amortization expense for each of the next five years is

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 quar-
terly 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 deter-
mined 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 2011, 2010 or 2009. No stock options vested in 2011,
2010 or 2009. Park granted 7,020 shares of common stock to its directors 
in each of 2011, 2010 and 2009, 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 earn-
ings. 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 in which the hedged
 transactions will affect earnings.

Fair Value Measurement
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market
 information 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.

62

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.

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
 stockholders 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
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 disclosures about the valuation
 techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and  non -
recurring fair value measurements for Level 2 and 3. The new disclosures 
and clarifications of existing disclosures for Accounting Standard Codification
(ASC) 820 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements. Those disclosures were effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The
adoption of ASC 820 on January 1, 2011 did not have a material effect on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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,
 specifically 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 were required 
for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2010, although the
 disclosures of reporting period activity were required for interim and annual
periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the new guidance
on January 1, 2011 impacted interim and annual disclosures included in 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.

No. 2011-02 – Receivables (Topic 310) A Creditor’s Determination 
of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring:
In April 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-02, A Creditor’s
Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring
(ASU 2011-02). The ASU provides additional guidance to creditors for  eval -
uating whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is a troubled 
debt restructuring (“TDR”). The new guidance requires creditors to evaluate
 modifications and restructurings of receivables using a more principles-based
approach, which may result in more modifications and restructurings being
considered TDRs. Additionally, creditors will be required to provide additional
disclosures about their TDR activities in accordance with the requirements of ASU
2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and
the Allowance for Credit Losses, which was deferred by ASU 2011-01 Deferral 
of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings 
in Update No. 2010-20 (ASU 2011-01). The new guidance was effective 
for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, 
with  retrospective application required to the beginning of the annual period of
adoption. Disclosure requirements were effective for the first interim and annual
period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance
effective July 1, 2011 resulted in an increase in the number of modifications and
restructuring deemed to be TDRs and impacted interim and annual disclosures
included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

No. 2011-04 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Amendments 
to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure
Requirement in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs: In May 2011, FASB issued
Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common 
Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirement in U.S. GAAP and
IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). The new guidance in this ASU results in common fair
value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.
Certain amendments clarify the FASBs intent about the application of existing
fair value measurement requirements. Other amendments change a particular
principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information
about fair value measurements. These amendments also enhance disclosure
requirements surrounding fair value measurement. Most significantly, an entity
will be required to disclose additional information regarding Level 3 fair value
measurements including quantitative information about unobservable inputs
used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualita-
tive discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements. The new guidance is
effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15,
2011. Management is currently working through the guidance to determine 
the impact, if any, to the consolidated financial statements.

No. 2011-05 – Presentation of Comprehensive Income: In June 
2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Presentation of
Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). The ASU eliminates the option to
report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of
changes in equity. An entity can elect to present the components of net income
and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continu-
ous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive
statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in other

comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must 
be reclassified to net income, or how earnings per share is calculated or
 presented. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods
within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be applied
 retrospectively. The adoption of the new guidance will impact the presentation
of the consolidated financial statements.

No. 2011-08 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other: In September 2011,
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill
and Other (ASU 2011-08). The ASU allows an entity to first assess qualitative
factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to 
a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount. The new guidance is effective for annual
and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2011. Management does not expect the adoption of this
guidance will have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. ORGANIZATION

electronic funds transfers and a variety of additional banking-related services.
VB, with its two banking divisions, through February 16, 2012, provided 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.

3. SALE OF VISION BANK
On November 16, 2011, Park and Vision entered into a Purchase and
Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Home BancShares,
Inc. (“Home”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Centennial Bank, an Arkansas
state-chartered bank (“Centennial”), to sell substantially all of the performing
loans, operating assets and liabilities associated with Vision to Centennial for 
a purchase price of $27.9 million.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Centennial will purchase the real
estate and other assets described in the Purchase Agreement which are used in
the banking business conducted by Vision at its eight offices in Baldwin County,
Alabama and its nine offices in the Florida panhandle counties of Bay, Gulf,
Okaloosa, Santa Rosa and Walton. Centennial will assume Vision’s obligations
relating to all of Vision’s deposit accounts and will purchase substantially all 

63

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

of Vision’s performing loans. The assets purchased and liabilities assumed by
Centennial, classified on Park’s consolidated balance sheet as held for sale at
December 31, 2011, include the following:

The assets and liabilities held for sale were evaluated for impairment as 
of December 31, 2011. Park determined there was no impairment and,
 accordingly, the assets and liabilities held for sale were carried at their
 historical cost, net of any previously established valuation allowance.
Vision will retain all of the non-performing loans and certain performing 
loans under the terms of the Purchase Agreement. As of December 31, 2011,
the carrying balance of nonperforming loans totaled approximately $101
million and the carrying balance of performing loans totaled approximately 
$23 million. Prior to the transfer to assets held for sale, Vision Bank’s 
allowance for loan losses totaled $23.8 million at December 31, 2011. Upon
the transfer, $13.1 million was transferred out of the allowance for loan losses
with the related loans that moved to assets held for sale. Management expects
that the remaining loans at Vision Bank will be charged down by the remaining
balance of the allowance for loan losses of $10.7 million prior to transfer to 
SE Property Holdings, LLC (“SE, LLC”). Vision Bank will be merged with and
into SE, LLC, the non-banking  subsidiary of Park’s Parent Company, promptly
following the closing of the transaction with Centennial.

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 2011, there were no investment securities deemed to be other-than-
temporarily impaired. 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. Since this was an equity security, no amounts were
 recognized in other comprehensive income at the time of the impairment
recognition.

(CMOs). At December 31, 2011, the amortized cost of Park’s available-for-sale
(AFS) and held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities was $427.3 million and
$0.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the amortized cost of Park’s
held-to-maturity CMOs was $818.2 million. There were no AFS CMOs at
December 31, 2011.

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. These restricted stock investments are carried at their redemp-
tion value. Park owned $60.7 million of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and
$6.9 million of Federal Reserve Bank stock at December 31, 2011. Park owned
$61.8 million of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and $6.9 million of Federal
Reserve Bank stock at December 31, 2010. 

Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 
31, 2011 or December 31, 2010, represents 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
securities 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 recognized 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, 2011:

 category are U.S. Government sponsored entities discount notes that mature
within 60 days.

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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were 
$83.7 million and $12.0 million, respectively, in partial charge-offs on loans
individually evaluated for impairment with no related allowance recorded and
$20.1 million and $41.6 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans
individually evaluated for impairment that also had a specific reserve allocated.

The allowance for loan losses included specific reserves related to loans
 individually evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2011 and 2010, 
of $15.9 million and $66.9 million, respectively, related to loans with 
a recorded investment of $52.7 million and $162.3 million.

The average balance of loans individually evaluated for impairment was 
$214.0 million, $210.4 million, and $184.7 million for 2011, 2010, and 
2009, 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.

The following table presents the average recorded investment and interest
income recognized on loans individually evaluated for impairment for the 
year ended December 31, 2011.

Credit Quality Indicators
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)

Specifically, if the restructured note has been current for a period of at 
least six months and  management expects the borrower will remain current
throughout the  renegotiated contract, the loan may be returned to accrual
status. At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $79.9 million and
$50.3 million of the nonaccrual TDRs were current. Management will continue
to review the renegotiated loans and may determine it appropriate to move
certain of the loans back to accrual status in the future. At December 31, 2011
and December 31, 2010, Park had commitments to lend $4.0 million and
$434,000, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers whose terms had 
been modified in a TDR.

The specific reserve related to TDRs at December 31, 2011 and December 
31, 2010 was $9.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Modifications made 
in 2011 were largely the result of renewals, extending the maturity date of the
loan, at terms consistent with the original note. These modifications were
deemed to be TDRs primarily due to Park’s conclusion that the borrower 
would likely not have qualified for similar terms through another lender. 
Many of the modifications deemed to be TDRs were previously identified 
as impaired loans, and thus were evaluated for impairment under ASC 310. 
An immaterial amount of additional specific reserves were recorded during 
the period ending December 31, 2011 as a result of TDRs identified in the 
2011 year.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the period ended
December 31, 2011 that did not meet the definition of a troubled debt
 restructuring. Modified substandard commercial loans which did not meet 
the definition of a TDR have a total recorded investment as of December 
31, 2011 of $13.6 million. The modification of these loans involved either 
a modification of the terms of a loan to borrowers who were not experiencing
financial difficulties or resulted in a delay in a payment that was considered to
be insignificant. Modified consumer loans which did not meet the definition 
of a TDR have a total recorded investment as of December 31, 2011 of $19.6
million. Many of these loans were modified as a lower cost option than a full
refinancing to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties.

The following table details the number of contracts modified as TDRs 
during the 12 months ended December 31, 2011 as well as the period end
recorded investment of these contracts. The recorded investment pre- and post-
 modification is generally the same, as historically Park has not forgiven debt.

are shown as nonaccrual and Park generally charges these loans down to their
fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans
classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as
substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection
or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and
values, highly questionable and improbable. Any commercial loan graded 
an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off.

Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDRs)
Management classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing financial
difficulties and Park has granted a concession. In order to determine whether 
a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the
probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the
foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under
the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Management’s policy is to modify
loans by extending the term or by granting a temporary or permanent contrac-
tual interest rate below the market rate, not by forgiving debt. Certain loans
which were modified during the period ending December 31, 2011 did not
meet the definition of a TDR as the modification was a delay in a payment that
was considered to be insignificant. Management considers a forbearance period
of up to three months or a delay in payment of up to 30 days to be insignificant.
TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a
period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management
expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accor-
dance with the terms of the restructured note. Management reviews all accruing
TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the
modified terms.

At December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were $100.4 million 
and $80.7 million, respectively, of TDRs included in nonaccrual loan totals. 
As of December 31, 2011, there were $28.7 million of TDRs included in
 accruing loan totals. None of the TDRs as of December 31, 2010 were 
accruing. Prior to management’s adoption of ASU 2011-02, Park classified 
all TDRs as nonaccrual loans. With the adoption of ASU 2011-02, management
determined it was appropriate to return certain TDRs to accrual status.

The following table presents the recorded investment in financing receivables
which were modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12
months and for which there was a payment default during the 12 month period
ended December 31, 2011. For this table, a loan is considered to be in default
when it becomes 30 days contractually past due under modified terms. The
additional allowance for loan loss resulting from the defaults on TDR loans 
was immaterial.

Management transfers a loan to other real estate owned at the time that Park
takes title of the asset. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, Park had $42.3 million
and $41.7 million, respectively, of other real estate owned. 

Certain of the Corporation’s executive officers, directors and related entities 
of directors are loan customers of the Corporation’s two banking subsidiaries.
As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, loans and lines of credit aggregating
approximately $53.0 million and $53.6 million, respectively, were outstanding
to such parties. During 2011, $4.9 million of new loans were made to these
executive officers and directors and repayments totaled $5.5 million. New loans
and repayments for 2010 were $2.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively. 

6. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses is that amount management believes is 
adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio 
based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth
in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss
experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is
charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and
other pertinent factors as discussed within Note 1 of these Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements. 

The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the 12 months ended December
31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is summarized in the

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment above include all performing loans
at December 31, 2011 and 2010, as well as nonperforming loans internally
classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are not typically
evaluated for impairment, but receive a portion of the statistical allocation of
the allowance for loan losses. Loans individually evaluated for impairment
above include all impaired loans internally classified as commercial loans 
at December 31, 2011 and 2010, which are evaluated for impairment in
 accordance with GAAP (see Note 1 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial

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. This capital
lease is scheduled to be assumed by Centennial Bank, in connection with 
their acquisition of Vision’s branches, in the first quarter of 2012.

Park had approximately $529.3 million of long-term debt at December 31,
2011 with a contractual maturity longer than five years. However, approximately
$525 million of this debt is callable by the issuer in 2012.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 regulations 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 0.58% 
at December 31, 2011. On January 2, 2008, Park entered into an interest rate
swap  trans action, which was designated as a cash flow hedge against the vari-
ability 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 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, 2011,
1,425,980 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.

72

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 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 2011:

There were no options granted or exercised in 2011, 2010 or 2009.
Additionally, no expense was recognized for 2011, 2010 or 2009. 

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 contributed $2 million in September 2010, which was
deductible on the 2010 tax return and was reflected in deferred tax liabilities 
at December 31, 2010. In January 2011, management contributed $14 million,
of which $12.4 million was deductible on the 2010 tax return and $1.6 million
on the 2011 tax return. In January 2012, management contributed $15.9
million, of which $14.3 million was deductible on the 2011 tax return and 
$1.6 million on the 2012 tax return. The entire $14.3 million deductible 
on the 2011 tax return is reflected as part of deferred taxes at December 31,
2011. See Note 14 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Park
does not expect to make any additional contributions to the Pension Plan 
in 2012.

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 2011 
and 2010. 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 $71.4 million 
and $63.5 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of the 115,800 common 
shares held by the Pension Plan was $7.5 million, or $65.06 per share 
and $8.4 million, or $72.67 per share, respectively.

The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations

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 $20,000. The estimated net actuarial (loss) expected
to be recognized in the next fiscal year is $(2.0) million.

The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost
for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are listed below:

Discount rate
Rate of compensation increase
Expected long-term return on plan assets

2011

5.50%
3.00%
7.75%

2010

6.00%
3.00%
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. 
The Pension Plan cash balance was $2.1 million at December 31, 2011.

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  trans -
action between market participants on the measurement date, using the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. The fair values of equity securi-
ties, 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, 2011 was
$96.6 million. At December 31, 2011, $83.2 million of equity investments in 
the Pension Plan were categorized as Level 1 inputs; $13.4 million of plan
investments in corporate and U.S. Government sponsored entity bonds were
 categorized as Level 2 inputs, as fair value is based on quoted market prices 
of comparable instruments; and no investments were categorized as Level 3
inputs. The market value of Pension Plan assets was $85.5 million at December
31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, $73.5 million of investments in the Pension
Plan were categorized as Level 1 inputs; $12.0 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 
$1.1 million, $1.0 million, and $1.5 million for 2011, 2010 and 2009,
 respectively.

74

The Corporation has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP)
 covering 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, 2011 and 2010, the accrued benefit cost for the SERP totaled
$7.2 million. The expense for the Corporation was $0.6 million for 2011 
and $0.5 million for both 2010 and 2009.

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 against
deferred tax assets is required in accordance with GAAP. Vision Bank is subject
to state income tax in Alabama and Florida. During 2011, Park recognized
$6.10 million in state tax expense which was the charge necessary to write-off
the previously reported state operating loss carryforward asset and other state
deferred tax assets at Vision Bank. Prior to the execution of the Purchase
Agreement with Centennial, management of Park believed that a merger of
Vision Bank into The Park National Bank (the national bank subsidiary of Park)
would enable Park to fully utilize the state net operating loss carryforward asset
recorded at Vision Bank. The structure of the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement will not allow either the buyer or the seller to benefit from
the previously recorded net operating loss carryforward asset at Vision Bank 
to offset future taxable income; therefore, this asset was written-off by Vision
Bank at December 31, 2011. In 2010, a state tax benefit of $1.16 million was
recorded by Vision Bank, consisting of a gross benefit of $3.45 million and 
a valuation allowance of $2.29 million. In the schedule of deferred taxes, the
valuation allowance is shown net of the federal tax benefit of $803,000.

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.

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 expense/
(benefit) for Vision Bank is included in “income taxes” on Park’s Consolidated
Statements of Income. Vision Bank’s 2011 state income tax expense was $6.10
million.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably
affect the effective income tax rate in the future periods at December 31, 2011,
2010 and 2009 was $378,000, $370,000 and $504,000, respectively. Park does
not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase
or decrease during the next year.

The (income)/expense related to interest and penalties recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2011,
2010 and 2009 was $2,500, $(10,500) and $(18,000), respectively. The
amount accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2011, 2010 
and 2009 was $63,000, $60,500 and $71,000, respectively.

Park and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax. Some of Park’s
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 2007 and the years prior.

The 2007 and 2008 federal income tax returns of Park National Corporation
were recently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Additionally,
the 2009 State of Ohio franchise tax return was recently under examination. 
The IRS examination closed in the first quarter of 2012 with no adjustments.
The Ohio examination closed in 2011 with no material adjustments.

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.

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

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 
many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. 
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as 
that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.

The total amounts of off-balance sheet financial instruments with credit risk
were as follows:

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, options to purchase 74,020 and 
78,075 common shares, respectively, were outstanding under Park’s 2005 
Plan. A warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was outstanding at 
both December 31, 2011 and 2010 as a result of Park’s participation in the 
CPP. In addition, 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 (the “December 2010
Warrants”). The December 2010 Warrants expired in 2011, with no warrants
being exercised. 

The common shares represented by the options and the warrants for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, totaling a weighted average of
126,292 and 382,445, 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 issued under the CPP was not included in the twelve
month weighted average of 126,292 for 2011 or 382,445 for 2010, as the
 dilutive effect of this warrant was 1,291 and 3,043 shares of common stock 
for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 
31, 2010, respectively. The exercise price of the CPP warrant to purchase
227,376 common shares 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, 2011,
approximately $51.3 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 interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated
financial statements.

76

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. 

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

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the interest rate swap’s fair value of $(0.8)
million and $(1.6) million, respectively, was included in other liabilities. No
hedge ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedge was recognized during the twelve
months ended December 31, 2011 or 2010. At December 31, 2011, the vari-
able rate on the $25 million subordinated note was 2.58% (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, 2011 and 2010, the change in the
fair value of the interest rate swap reported in other comprehensive income 
was a gain of $512,000 (net of taxes of $276,000) and a loss of $98,000 
(net of taxes of $53,000), respectively. Amounts reported in accumulated 
other 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, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Park had mortgage loan
interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) outstanding of approximately $17.2
million and $14.5 million, respectively. Park has specific forward contracts to
sell each of these loans to a third party investor. These loan commitments rep-
resent derivative 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 $251,000 at
December 31, 2011 and $166,000 at December 31, 2010. The fair value of 
the derivative instruments is included within loans held for sale and the corre-
sponding 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 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, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the fair value of the swap liability of $700,000 and
$60,000, respectively, is an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-
weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

20. LOAN SERVICING
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1,349 million at December 31, 2011
compared to $1,471 million at December 31, 2010, and $1,518 million at
December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2011, $25 million of the sold mortgage
loans were sold with recourse compared to $36 million at December 31, 2010.
Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold
with recourse. At December 31, 2011, management determined that no liability
was deemed necessary for these loans.

Park capitalized $1.7 million in mortgage servicing rights in 2011, $3.1 million
in 2010 and $5.5 million in 2009. Park’s amortization of mortgage servicing
rights was $2.6 million in 2011, $3.2 million in 2010 and $4.0 million in 2009.
The amortization of mortgage loan servicing rights is included within “Other
service income”. Generally, mortgage servicing rights are capitalized and amor-
tized on an individual sold loan basis. When a sold mortgage loan is paid off,
the related mortgage servicing rights are fully amortized.

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.

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.

Interest rate swap
Fair value swap

$ —

$

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
 secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at
their fair value. Mortgage loans held for sale are estimated using security prices
for similar product types and, therefore, are classified in Level 2.

Impaired loans, which are usually measured for impairment using the 
fair value of collateral, had a book value of $187.1 million at December 31,
2011, after partial charge-offs of $103.8 million. In addition, these loans had 
a  specific valuation allowance of $15.9 million. Of the $187.1 million impaired
loan portfolio, loans with a book value of $103.7 million were carried at their
fair value of $87.8 million, as a result of the aforementioned charge-offs and
specific valuation allowance. The remaining $83.4 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, 2010, impaired loans had a book
value of $250.9 million. Of these, loans with a book value of $176.5 million
were carried at their fair value of $109.6 million, as a result of partial charge-
offs of $53.6 million and a specific valuation allowance of $66.9 million. The
remaining $74.4 million of impaired loans at December 31, 2010 were carried
at cost.

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), which are carried at the lower of cost or fair
value, were recorded at $9.3 million at December 31, 2011. Of the $9.3 million
MSR carrying balance at December 31, 2011, $5.8 million was recorded at fair
value and included a valuation allowance of $1.0 million. The remaining $3.5
million was recorded at cost, as the fair value exceeded the cost at December
31, 2011. 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, 2010, of the $10.5 million MSR carrying balance, $3.8 million were
recorded at fair value and included a valuation allowance of $748,000.

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, 2011 and 2010, the estimated 
fair value of OREO, less estimated selling costs amounted to $42.3 million and
$41.7 million, respectively. The financial impact of OREO valuation adjustments
for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $8.2 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 money market instruments: The carrying amounts reported 
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and short-term instruments
 approximate those assets’ fair values.

Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with 
no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
The fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential)
are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with

securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The
fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses,
using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to
 borrowers of similar credit quality. 

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.

The fair value of financial instruments at December 31, 2011 and December 31,

22. CAPITAL RATIOS
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

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,
2011 and 2010, 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) and
Vision Bank (headquartered in Panama City, Florida). Guardian Financial
Services Company 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. GAAP requires manage-
ment 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 performance, better understand
the potential for future cash flows, and make more informed judgments about
the company as a whole. Park’s two operating segments are 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 $4.21 million, $5.97 million and 
$5.22 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, stockholders’ equity reflected in the Parent
Company balance sheet includes $146.6 million and $143 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, 2011, Park recognized a charge to retained earnings 
of $5.9 million representing the preferred stock dividend and accretion of the
discount on the preferred stock, associated with its participation in the CPP.

82

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 com-
pensation 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

There were no sales of common shares or issuance of common stock warrants
during 2011. Outstanding as of December 31, 2010 were 35,992 Series A
Common Share Warrants and 35,992 Series B Common Share Warrants which
were issued as part of the registered direct public offering completed on
December 10, 2010. The Series A and Series B Common Share Warrants had 
an exercise price of $76.41. The Series A Common Share Warrants issued in
December 2010 were not exercised and expired on June 10, 2011. The Series
B Common Share Warrants issued in December 2010 were not exercised and
expired on December 10, 2011.

27. SUBSEQUENT EVENT – VISION BANK CLOSING
On February 16, 2012, Park and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vision Bank, 
a Florida state-chartered bank, completed their sale of substantially all of the
performing loans, operating assets and liabilities associated with Vision Bank 
to Centennial Bank (“Centennial”), an Arkansas state-chartered bank which is 
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home BancShares, Inc., an Arkansas Corporation
(“Home”), as contemplated by the previously announced Purchase and
Assumption Agreement by and between Park, Vision, Home and Centennial,
dated as of November 16, 2011, as amended by the First Amendment to
Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2012 (the
“Agreement”).

In accordance with the Agreement, on the closing date, Vision sold approxi-
mately $354 million in performing loans, approximately $520 million of
deposits, fixed assets of approximately $12.5 million and other miscellaneous
assets and liabilities for a purchase price of $27.9 million. Subsequent to the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement, Vision was left with approximately
$22 million of performing loans (including mortgage loans held for sale) 
and non-performing loans with a fair value of $88 million. Park will record 
a pre-tax gain, net of expenses directly related to the sale, of approximately 
$22 million, resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

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