T O   O U R   S H A R E H O L D E R S

We began 2012 with high hopes (cautious optimism would be 
a safer description of our outlook one year ago) and an internal, 
page-long summary of what we intended to accomplish during the
year. In retrospect, there were only a couple of “lay ups” or “slam
dunks.” It would be easier to write a glowing letter to shareholders 
if we set easier objectives to accomplish. But neither you nor we 
wish to take the easy path...it’s typically crowded anyway.

Among our objectives, we did NOT earn our targeted net income 
for the year. 

Net Income and Park’s relative performance...
We targeted $83 million in net income for 2012, excluding the gain 
on the sale of the Vision Bank business. We did not achieve the target.
Net income was $78.6 million, or $4.88 per diluted common share.
For the 2011 year, Park National Corporation (Park) reported net
income of $82.1 million, or $4.95 per diluted common share, so 
2012 net income per diluted common share decreased 1.4% from
2011.

We did, however, earn net income sufficient to sustain our common
stock dividend to our shareholders. We completed the sale of the
Vision Bank business on substantially the terms announced on
November 16, 2011. We also repurchased the preferred shares and
common share warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Troubled
Asset Relief Program (TARP) and exited the Capital Purchase Program
without raising additional common equity during 2012. All of these 
are notable accomplishments.

We periodically reflect on Park’s total return for our shareholders.
Ownership of bank common stock has been out of favor over the past
five years, perhaps the most challenging as any five year period since
the Great Depression of the 1930s.

In spite of the challenges we have reported to you during this
timeframe, the previous performance graph and corresponding 
table reveal that Park National Corporation, in terms of total return,
has outperformed three other comparable bank indices over the
period. You will find the identical graph and table in “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis” in this Annual Report, accompanied with 
far more detail on our performance in 2012. 

Other topics addressed during 2012 are described below.

The sale of the Vision Bank business...
Plenty has been said and written about the challenges we experienced
as a result of the purchase of Vision Bank in early 2007. You may tire
of reading about our Vision Bank challenges and we think we can
safely say, the end seems to be in sight. Please stay with us as we 
offer additional information we think you may find helpful.

The initial thrill of buying Vision Bank was matched by the relief from
the sale of the business on February 16, 2012. We remember the day
as a giant step forward to accelerate the resolution of the problems
resulting from the 2007 purchase.

The sale helped position us to repay the TARP funds in April, 2012. As
a result, beginning in 2013 we save $5.0 million per year in preferred
share dividend payments and eliminated another layer of regulatory
oversight. Both are worthy reasons justifying the repayment.

The TARP funds provided meaningful capital that supported our ability
to continue lending money in our communities and to rest more easily
as we struggled to satisfactorily conclude the challenges associated
with Vision Bank. We were delighted to repurchase the preferred
shares and the related warrant as repaying the TARP funds signaled 
an answer to the seemingly open-ended question about our need for
capital to support our ongoing operations. We were very pleased to
exit the program, but grateful for the flexibility and security the TARP
funds provided.

We met some fine people associated with Vision Bank. We thank them
for their efforts to help us minimize the losses we experienced. And we
extend our gratitude to a number of key professionals outside the Park
family for their assistance over the past few years. 

We especially want to thank a long list of Park associates for their
leadership, focus and determination that allowed us to limit the
challenges at Vision Bank from overshadowing the successes within
the Park organization otherwise. We engaged associates from our
accounting area, internal audit, technology and information services,
human resources, trust, internal loan review, loan administration and
operations for assistance as we worked through the sale and continue
to reduce our exposure to troubled assets. It’s been a team effort.

At the top of our list of Park associates to thank is Tom Button, our
chief credit officer. Tom led the asset quality improvement charge 
and continues to navigate choppy waters as we resolve troubled 
assets, while simultaneously providing the strong and insightful
leadership we need in lending.

 
T O   O U R   S H A R E H O L D E R S

Our agenda for 2013 includes a continued focus on liquidating the 
pile of troubled assets we retained following the sale of the Vision
Bank business. We are happy to report the pile has been reduced
dramatically. Nonperforming assets associated with the former Vision
Bank, at October 31, 2011 (the month end immediately prior to the
announcement of the agreement to sell the Vision Bank business)
were $156.9 million and have been reduced to just under $90.4
million at year end 2012. We’ve made great progress. More work
clearly remains to be done. We assure you it will be done. 

The Vision Bank story is in its final chapter and we are moving
forward.

The Park National Bank (PNB) story...
Our favorite story continues with several more chapters of success.
Below is a comparison of Park and PNB over the previous three 
years. It is instructive to pay particular attention to “Security Gains” 
in previous years compared to 2012, and the “Gain on sale of the
Vision Bank business” in 2012:

Excluding the gain on sale of the Vision Bank business in 2012 and 
the security gains in the two previous years, 2012 net income for Park
compares favorably with 2011 and 2010.

PNB’s net income has declined in each of the three years ended
December 31, 2012. While no excuse, persistently low interest rates
have compressed all banks’ net interest margins...and we are no
exception. By the important measure of Return on Average Assets, 
PNB continues to outperform its peers as the following table discloses:

“Peers” is defined as all FDIC-insured banks in the United States with
assets greater than $3 billion. “%” refers to the percentile ranking of
PNB compared to these peers.

Our returns in 2011 and 2010 were favorably influenced by gains from
the sale of securities; our performance for 2012 relative to peers
excludes gains from the sale of securities. PNB Return on Average
Assets for 2012 was in the upper quartile compared to our peers,
slightly less than the upper quintile, our personal annual objective.

Gathering deposits...
Our Ohio-based community bank divisions continued a fine record 
of increasing deposits last year. Deposits at year end 2012 increased 
by just over $200 million, or 4.4% compared to year end 2011. Our
strategy continues to be “the bank of choice” in the primary markets
served by our community bank divisions. It seems to be working. 
Total deposits and repurchase agreements increased by $206 million
last year over December 31, 2011. We remain convinced that Service
Excellence, the program we announced last year, continues to play 
a meaningful role in our success in gaining and keeping customers
and clients.

Lending in our markets...
From year end 2011 to year end 2012 our Ohio-based bank divisions
increased outstanding loan balances by 4.7%. Our target for 2012 was
to increase loans by 1.0% to 3.0%. Loans increased by $197 million 
at year end 2012 compared to year end 2011, nearly keeping pace
with the increase in deposits and repurchase agreements identified
above. As we have stated time and again, we have plenty of funds to
lend.

By far the strongest growth category was in loans to individuals to
finance 1–4 family residences. We completed our second full year 
of originating and retaining on our bank divisions’ balance sheets 
a majority of loans with terms with final maturities of 15 years or 
less. We originated more refinance home loans and home purchase
mortgages in 2012 than any year but one in our history.

We are delighted to make home loans...they are the cornerstone of
our consumer banking relationships and the credit quality of home
loans is generally superior to other types of loans. Our bank divisions
do marvelous work helping customers and prospects with the right
combination of loan alternatives and a myriad of other banking
services.

Making a home loan may seem easy on the surface, but we assure 
you the reams of paper required to comply with federal regulations
(increasing every year, by the way), the application process, the
deliberation and dialogue between our lenders and customers, 
the underwriting process, the loan approval, processing and closing,
followed by the post-closing loan administration, takes a small army 
of professionals doing their work correctly. Every day. Every loan. It 
is difficult to exaggerate the individual and collective efforts required
to successfully manage the tedious and laborious process of making 
a home loan.

We are exceptionally proud of all of our associates and never more
proud than after witnessing the results of 2012. We take nothing for
granted and equally value the work of our loan processing/servicing
centers within our community bank divisions. We were pleased to 
be able to recruit Julie Leonard from our First-Knox National Bank
Division in Mt. Vernon to oversee the critical real estate lending
operations functions in the latter part of 2012.

T O   O U R   S H A R E H O L D E R S

As the modest economic recovery continued in 2012, we enjoyed a
5.8% increase in consumer loan balances. This category of lending
mirrored the increased level of auto sales in the markets we serve.
Some banks tend to be cyclical in their automobile finance programs
but consistency has been a hallmark of PNB for decades. While some
competitors exit this type of lending periodically, we continue offering
loans on automobiles, pick-up trucks, boats and recreational vehicles
(and even motorcycles on occasion!). Consistency and predictability
are rewarded as evidenced by the continued growth in loan balances
within our bank divisions.

Finally, our commercial real estate, other commercial, financial 
and agricultural loan balances increased year to year by 3.4%. As 
a community bank, we believe it is critical, and we very much desire,
to lend money to all segments of our communities. We were pleased
to take advantage of opportunities to increase our commercial lending
last year. We are further encouraged that in the early part of 2013, 
it appears business and commercial loan demand has increased. 

Commercial lending leads to other services we offer, including
corporate treasury, cash management, electronic deposit gathering
and employee benefit plan administration. Said another way, we have 
a competitive and comprehensive suite of business and commercial
services for the markets served by our banks, whether the focus is 
on deposits, lending or otherwise. This robust selection of services is
delivered by bankers who we believe are unparalleled in their fields.

Investing excess deposits...
We identified challenges with low interest rates earlier. With interest
rates throughout 2012 at or near record lows, it continues to be a
great time to borrow money! As attractive as borrowing has been
because of low costs, low interest rates put significant pressure on
Park’s investment portfolio revenue. Designed to first and fully meet
liquidity needs of our customers and our bank divisions, we also
expect to earn a reasonable rate of return on our investments.

It is ironic that when loan demand is slack, we tend to have surplus
funds to invest. Such periods also typically coincide with periods 
when interest rates are low, as we’ve experienced in the past few years.
During these times it is tempting to chase yield, assume unacceptable
credit risk and irrationally extend maturities of our investments. 
Doing any of the above entails risk we try to minimize.

We are fortunate to have Paul Turner managing our bank investment
portfolio. Paul is a senior vice president of PNB and is ably assisted 
by PNB vice president April Dusthimer. Paul and April are constantly
evaluating investment alternatives that will serve our two-fold purpose:
managing liquidity and generating income. We are fortunate to have
their talent. 

Our Trust and Investment Departments...
We are proud of the trust departments of our bank divisions. Total
assets under management or in safekeeping were, in the aggregate,
more than $3.5 billion at year end 2012, an all time high. Helping
clients manage wealth, settling and administering estates, managing
employee benefit and retirement plans for companies and individuals

and offering professional consultation and investment advice has
distinguished our bank divisions in each of the markets we serve. 
Our trust officers provide a level of distinction for our bank divisions
that is uncommon. Continued asset growth is the best example we 
can provide that the strategy is effective.

Park Technology...
We currently have just under $7 million in various technology 
related projects underway. These projects follow several others
initiated since 2010 that, in aggregate, represent a total investment 
of over $20 million. Projects to date have been completed under
budget and generally within the time frames expected.

We have updated all of our ATMs, installed our own Disaster 
Recovery site, and upgraded our main frame hardware, our 
operating systems and our work stations, among many other 
projects. As 2013 progresses, we anxiously await the successful
conclusion of the replacement (read that as modernization) of 
our voice and data communications systems as well as significantly
enhancing our Mobile Banking Solution by mid-year. We are excited
about having contemporary and highly competitive technology we 
can offer through each of our affiliates.

This work is being led by Tim Lehman. Late last year we asked Tim to
assume additional responsibilities and were pleased that he embraced
the challenge. Specifically, Tim has been named chief operating officer
in addition to being a senior vice president of PNB. He is a superb
community banker and is providing additional leadership we need.

Internal Audit and PNB Administration...
Jeff Wilson has headed up our internal audit team for nearly nine 
years. Last year we identified the need to add leadership talent to the
administrative area of our organization, and we tapped Jeff for the job.
We told him he could not advance until he and the audit committee of
the board identified a successor for his current position!

We are pleased that Adrienne Brokaw has joined Park as our 
next chief internal auditor. Adrienne brings a wealth of talent and
experience to the position, most recently serving as a partner for one
of the big four public accounting firms in Columbus, Ohio. She will
join a fine department of audit professionals within Park; we are eager
for her to apply her skills here. Her arrival will unleash Jeff to help our
leadership team with important administrative responsibilities. Jeff’s
formal title in the new position is chief administrative officer in
addition to being a senior vice president of PNB.

Our Accounting Function...
In December we announced that our former chief financial officer,
John Kozak, decided to accelerate his retirement by a few months. 
We wished John well and thanked him for more than three decades 
of service.

Brady Burt has been our chief accounting officer since he joined PNB
in April, 2007. Brady was previously identified as John’s successor. We
activated the plan and Brady quickly and professionally assumed his
new responsibilities as chief financial officer.

We also announced the elevation of Matt Miller to chief accounting
officer, Brady’s former position. This too had been planned in
connection with John’s retirement, and we appreciate even more
today, in hindsight, the need for succession planning. 

Brady and Matt brought considerable experience and talent to the
Park organization, and we enjoy working with them. They work 
hard, have fun, and are effective leaders.

They are fully engaged and along with their entire team, we have no
reservations about their ability to see that Park continues with its fine
record of timely, accurate accounting and critically, providing the very
best advice and counsel to management and our board. Both Brady
and Matt fit within the Park culture as if they have been with us their
entire careers.

Three new directors being proposed...
Corporate governance is an important responsibility for all boards 
of directors. During 2012 our Nominating and Corporate Governance
committee of our board of directors met on multiple occasions to
review, discuss and deliberate on the structure of our board that
would serve the interests of Park and our shareholders. They
concluded, and management quickly concurred, to ask three current
directors of The Park National Bank, Ms. Donna M. Alvarado, Rev. Dr.
Charles W. Noble, Sr. and Mr. Robert E. O’Neill to join the Park board,
subject to shareholder approval at the annual meeting in April 2013.
You will find biographical information on each individual in the proxy
statement for our annual meeting. We urge you to support these
recommendations.

In closing...
To bring this long letter to conclusion, we’ve previously identified 
how pleased we are with Guardian Financial Services Company
(GFSC), our consumer finance subsidiary. GFSC finished 2012 in

record style, reaching new highs in loan balances and net income. 
We want to especially salute Earl Osborne, who founded our GFSC
subsidiary from scratch in 1999. Earl completed his 14th full year 
of service with Park last year, and recommended that his president,
Matt Marsh, assume the role as the chief executive officer of GFSC,
allowing Earl to reduce his workload and responsibilities. We thank
Earl for his dedication and superior leadership, and we congratulate
Matt on his new responsibility!

We remain grateful as ever for the support of our shareholders. As 
we began this letter, the banking industry has been out of favor these
past several years, and we look forward to when our collection of
community bank divisions and GFSC are better recognized for our
consistent, superior performance over long periods of time. Cycles
come and go, and we’re ready for the recent one to end.

We remain highly optimistic. As Bill McConnell taught us years ago,
with talented associates, strong capital and generating superior net
income, future possibilities are endless! You can help us realize our
potential by referring prospects to us. We won’t let you down.

Management’s discussion and analysis presents 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 under-
standing 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; general economic and financial market conditions, and
weakening in the economy, specifically the real estate market and the credit
market, either nationally or in the states in which Park and its subsidiaries do
business, may be worse than expected which could decrease the demand for
loan, deposit and other financial services and increase loan delinquencies and
defaults; changes in interest rates and prices may adversely impact the value of
securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the interest rate
sensitivity of our consolidated balance sheet; changes in consumer spending,
borrowing and saving habits; changes in unemployment; asset/liability
 repricing risks and liquidity risks; our liquidity requirements could be 
adversely affected by changes to regulations governing bank capital and liquidity
standards as well as by changes in our assets and liabilities; competitive factors
among financial services organizations increase significantly, including product
and pricing pressures and our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified
bank professionals; the nature, timing and effect of changes in banking
 regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the
 respective businesses of Park and its subsidiaries, including changes in laws
and regulations concerning taxes, accounting, banking, securities and other
aspects of the financial services industry, specifically the Dodd-Frank Wall 
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), 
as well as future regulations which will be adopted by the relevant regulatory
agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to implement
the Dodd-Frank Act’s provisions, the Budget Control Act of 2012 and the
American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012; the effect of changes in accounting
 policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
and other regulatory agencies, and the accuracy of our assumptions and
 estimates used to prepare our financial statements; the effect of fiscal and
 governmental policies of the United States federal government; adequacy 
of our risk management program; a failure in or breach of our operational or
security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors and other
service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks; demand for loans in the
respective market areas served by Park and its subsidiaries; and other risk
factors relating to the banking industry as detailed from time to time in Park’s
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including those
described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. 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 state-
ment was made, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to 
the extent required by law.

SALE OF VISION BANK BUSINESS
On February 16, 2012, Park completed the purchase and assumption  trans -
action between Park, Home BancShares, Inc. (“Home”) and their respective
subsidiary banks. Home subsidiary, Centennial Bank (“Centennial”), purchased
certain assets and liabilities of Vision Bank (“Vision”) for a purchase price of
$27.9 million. Centennial purchased performing loans with an unpaid principal
balance of $355.8 million, assumed ownership or operation of all 17 Vision
office locations, and assumed deposit liabilities of $522.9 million. Certain 
other miscellaneous assets and liabilities were also purchased by Centennial.
The remaining assets and liabilities were retained by Vision. As a result of 
the transaction, Park recorded a pre-tax gain of $22.2 million (after actual
expenses directly related to the transaction) and agreed to allow Centennial 
to “put back” up to $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of loans, which
were originally included within the loans sold in the transaction. Refer to the
“Other expense” section for additional discussion of the loan put.

OVERVIEW
Net income for 2012 was $78.6 million, compared to $82.1 million in 2011 and
$58.1 million in 2010. Diluted earnings per common share were $4.88, $4.95
and $3.45 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net income for 2012 included the gain from the sale of the Vision business of
$22.2 million ($14.4 million after-tax). Results for 2011 and 2010 included
gains of $28.8 million ($18.7 million after-tax) and $11.9 million ($7.7 million  
after-tax), respectively, from the sale of investment securities. Excluding the 
gain from the sale of the Vision business and gains from the sale of  securities,
net income for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, would have been $64.2
million, $63.4 million, and $50.4 million.

The table below reflects the net income (loss) by segment for each of the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Park’s segments include The
Park National Bank (“PNB”), Guardian Financial Services Company (“GFSC”),
SE Property Holdings, LLC (“SEPH”) and “All Other” which primarily consists
of Park as the “Parent Company.” For 2011 and 2010, the table includes the 
net loss at Vision, also considered an operating segment until the sale of the
Vision business.

(1) The assets held for sale represent the loans and other assets at Vision that were sold in the

first quarter of 2012. 

(2) The liabilities held for sale represent the deposits and other liabilities at Vision that were sold 

in the first quarter of 2012.

SEPH’s assets primarily include performing and nonperforming loans, as well 
as OREO assets, that were not sold to Centennial as part of the sale of the Vision
business on February 16, 2012. Net loss for SEPH was $12.2 million for the
year ended December 31, 2012, compared to a net loss for the combined
SEPH/Vision of $29.2 million, excluding the after-tax impact of security 
gains, for fiscal year 2011. The primary drivers of income/loss for SEPH 
are (1) charge-offs on loans retained following the sale of the Vision business
which result in a dollar for dollar provision for loan loss, (2) recoveries on
loans  previously charged off, (3) gain/loss on the sale of OREO properties, 
(4) OREO devaluation adjustments based on appraisals received annually and
(5) the expense of working down the portfolio of loans and OREO, including
legal and third-party workout specialist costs.

Excluding the after-tax impact of security gains in 2011 and 2010, PNB’s net
income was $91.5 million and $95.2 million, respectively, compared to $87.1
million in 2012. The $4.4 million decrease in net income in 2012, compared 
to net income excluding the after-tax impact of security gains in 2011, was due
to a $14.5 million decline in net interest income and an increase in operating
expenses of $10.3 million, offset by a $13.5 million decline in the provision for
loan losses and an increase to fee income of $3.4 million. 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 in 2007 and 2008. The loan loss provision for those participation loans
was $3.4 million, $11.1 million and $7.1 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.

Net income for GFSC was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012,
an increase of $829,000 or 30.5% from $2.7 million for fiscal year 2011. This
improvement was the result of increased net interest income due to the 6.31%
increase in loans in 2012, as well as a lower provision for loan losses based 
on improving trends, including declines in net-charge-offs, in the GFSC loan
portfolio.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, Park’s Parent Company had net 
income of $195,000, compared to a net loss of $1.6 million in 2011. Net
 interest income for Park’s Parent Company included interest income on 
loans by Park to SEPH and on subordinated debt investments by Park with 
PNB, which were eliminated in the consolidated Park National Corporation
totals. Additionally, net interest income included interest expense related to 
the $35.25 million and $30 million of subordinated notes issued by Park 
in December 2009 and April 2012, respectively.

PROJECTION OF FISCAL 2013 RESULTS BY OPERATING SEGMENT
The information in the table below provides Park’s current projection of 
pre-tax, pre-provision income (loss) by operating segment for the 2013 fiscal
year. Pre-tax, pre-provision income (loss) is calculated using net interest
income, plus other income, less other expense. For comparison purposes,
management has also included the pre-tax, pre-provision results for the 
fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR PARK
A year ago, Park’s management projected that net interest income would be
$240 million to $250 million in 2012. The actual results in 2012 were $235.3
million, $4.7 million below the bottom of the projected range. Park’s manage-
ment projected that the average interest earning assets for 2012 would be
approximately $6,200 million. The actual average interest earning assets for 
the year were $6,190 million, $10 million or 0.2% lower than the projected
balance. Park’s forecast for the net interest margin in 2012 was a range of
3.88% to 3.98%. The actual results for the year were 3.83%, slightly below 
the bottom of the estimated range.

Park’s management also projected a year ago that the provision for loan losses
would be $20 million to $27 million in 2012. The actual provision for loan
losses in 2012 was $35.4 million, which exceeded the top of the estimated
range by $8.4 million.

Fee income for 2012 was $70.2 million, excluding the $22.2 million pre-tax
gain on the sale of the Vision business. A year ago, Park’s management pro-
jected that fee income would be in a range of $62 million to $66 million. 
The actual results were $4.2 million above the top of the range.

A year ago, Park’s management projected that operating expenses would be
approximately $170 million to $175 million. Operating expenses for 2012 
were $188.0 million, $13.0 million above the top of the estimated range.

ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED SHARES 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 had 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 qualified as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) required 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 required that Park 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 was below market
value; therefore, the fair value of the Series A Preferred Shares was 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 was accreted through retained earnings using the level
yield method over a 60-month period. GAAP requires Park to measure earnings

29

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   &   A N A L Y S I S

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 $3,425,000 for 2012, $5,856,000 for 2011 and $5,807,000 for 2010.
The accretion of the discount was $1,854,000 in 2012, $856,000 in 2011 and
$807,000 in 2010.

On April 25, 2012, Park entered into a Letter Agreement with the U.S. Treasury
pursuant to which Park repurchased the 100,000 Series A Preferred Shares for
a purchase price of $100 million plus pro rata accrued and unpaid dividends.
Total consideration of $101.0 million included accrued and unpaid dividends 
of $1.0 million. In addition to the accrued and unpaid dividends of $1.0
million, the charge to retained earnings, resulting from the repurchase 
of the Series A Preferred Shares, was $1.6 million on April 25, 2012.
On May 2, 2012, Park entered into a Letter Agreement pursuant to which Park
repurchased from the U.S. Treasury the Warrant to purchase 227,376 Park
common shares for consideration of $2.8 million, or $12.50 per Park 
common share.
Income available to common shareholders is net income minus the preferred
share dividends and accretion. Income available to common shareholders was
$75.2 million for 2012, $76.3 million for 2011, and $52.3 million for 2010.
See Note 1 and Note 25 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information on the Series A Preferred Shares.

DIVIDENDS ON COMMON SHARES
Cash dividends declared on common shares were $3.76 in 2012, 2011 and
2010 and the quarterly cash dividend on common shares was $0.94 per share
for each quarter of 2012, 2011 and 2010.

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 GAAP and general practices within the financial services
industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 management believes the determination of the allowance for loan and
lease losses (“ALLL”) involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity 
than its other significant accounting policies. The ALLL is calculated with the
objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient
to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s
determination of the adequacy of the ALLL is based on periodic evaluations of
the loan portfolio and of current economic conditions. However, this evaluation
is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates, including expected
default probabilities, the loss given default, the amounts and timing of expected
future cash flows on impaired loans, and estimated losses on consumer loans
and residential mortgage loans based on historical loss experience and current
economic conditions. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant
change. To the extent that actual results differ from management estimates,
additional loan loss provisions may be required that would adversely impact
earnings for future periods. Refer to the “CREDIT EXPERIENCE –Provision 
for Loan Losses” section 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 off against the ALLL. 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

30

 recognized in other income on the date of sale. At December 31, 2012, 
OREO totaled $35.7 million, a decrease of 15.6%, compared to $42.3 
million at December 31, 2011.
In accordance with GAAP, management utilizes the fair value hierarchy, 
which has the objective of maximizing the use of observable market inputs. 
The accounting guidance also requires 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, 2012, financial assets valued using Level 3 inputs for Park had an aggregate
fair value of approximately $74.6 million. This was 6.1% 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 $53.9 million (or 72.3%) of the total amount of Level
3 inputs. Additionally, there were $78.2 million of loans that were impaired 
and carried at cost, as fair value exceeded book value for each individual credit. 
The large majority of Park’s financial assets valued using Level 2 inputs consist
of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities. The fair value of these AFS securities is
obtained largely by the use of matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique
widely used in the financial services industry to value debt securities without
relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather
by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities.
Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible
assets also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant
accounting policies. GAAP establishes standards for the amortization of
acquired intangible assets and the impairment assessment of goodwill. 
Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable
to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Park’s goodwill
relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent
upon the ability of Park’s banking subsidiary 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 by assessing 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. If after assessing these events or circumstances, it is con-
cluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit 
is less than its carrying amount, then performing the second step of the impair-
ment test is required. If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the fair
value, an impairment charge must be recorded in an amount equal to the
excess. The fair value of the goodwill, which resides on the books of PNB, Park’s
 subsidiary bank, is estimated by reviewing the past and projected operating
results for PNB, deposit and loan totals for PNB and banking industry 
comparable information. At December 31, 2012, on a consolidated basis, Park
had core deposit intangibles of $337,000 subject to amortization and $72.3
million of goodwill, which was not subject to periodic amortization.

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. Management believes there are a significant number of
 consumers and businesses 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.

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   &   A N A L Y S I S

Park’s subsidiaries compete for deposits and loans with other banks,

SOURCE OF FUNDS
Deposits: Park’s major source of funds is deposits from individuals, busi-
nesses and local government entities. These deposits consist of non-interest
bearing and interest bearing deposits.

Average total deposits were $4,835 million in 2012, compared to $5,192
million in 2011 and $5,182 million in 2010.

Total deposits were $4,716 million at December 31, 2012, compared to 
$4,465 million at December 31, 2011. This represents an increase in total
deposits of $251 million or 5.6% in 2012. The increase in total deposits in
2012 was predominately in Park’s non-interest bearing checking accounts 
and interest bearing savings accounts.

A year ago, management projected that Park’s total deposits would 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, 2011 and 2012, as the U.S. economy has gradually
recovered from the severe recession. The average federal funds rate was 0.15%
for 2012, 0.10% for 2011 and 0.18% for 2010.

The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.49% in 2012,
compared to 0.66% in 2011 and 0.98% in 2010. The average cost of interest
bearing deposits for each quarter of 2012 was 0.42% for the fourth quarter,
0.46% for the third quarter, 0.53% for the second quarter and 0.56% for the
first quarter.

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 0.26% in 2012, compared to 0.28% in 2011 and 0.39% in
2010.

The year-end balance for short-term borrowings was $344 million at December
31, 2012, compared to $264 million at December 31, 2011 and $664 million
at December 31, 2010. The increase from 2011 to 2012 and the large decrease
from 2010 to 2011 were due to investment security purchases at year-end 
2012 and 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 and subordinated notes discussed 
in the following section.) In 2012, average long-term debt was $908 million,
compared to $882 million in 2011 and $725 million in 2010. Average total debt
(long-term and short-term) was $1,166 million in 2012, compared to $1,179
million in 2011 and $1,026 million in 2010. Average total debt decreased by
$13 million or 1.1% in 2012 compared to 2011 and increased by $153 million
or 14.9% in 2011 compared to 2010. 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 during 2011 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 78% of average 
total debt in 2012 compared to 75% in 2011 and 71% in 2010.

On November 30, 2012, Park’s banking subsidiary, PNB, restructured $300
million of fixed rate repurchase agreement borrowings with a third-party
 investment banking firm. The restructuring reduced the weighted average
 interest rate paid on the debt from 4.04% to 1.75% and extended the weighted
average maturity term from 4.4 years to 5.0 years. A $25 million prepayment
penalty was paid by PNB to the third-party investment banking firm as part of
the restructuring which will be amortized over the five-year remaining term of
the restructured borrowing. The effective rate on the restructured borrowing 
is 3.40%, including the impact of the prepayment penalty amortization.

The average interest rate paid on long-term debt was 3.45% for 2012,
 compared to 3.42% for 2011 and 3.91% for 2010.

Subordinated Debenture/Notes: Park assumed, with the 2007 Vision
 acquisition, $15 million of floating rate junior subordinated notes. The interest
rate on these junior subordinated notes adjusted 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 banking subsidiary, PNB, issued a $25 million subordinated debenture
on December 28, 2007. The interest rate on this subordinated debenture
adjusted every quarter at 200 basis points above the three-month LIBOR interest
rate. The maturity date for the subordinated debenture was December 29, 2017
and the subordinated debenture was eligible to 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 matu-
rity 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 related to this
subordinated debenture to a fixed interest rate of 6.01% through the use of the
interest rate swap. This subordinated debenture qualified 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. This subordinated debenture was paid off in full on December 31, 2012.

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 and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board.
Each subordinated note was purchased at a purchase price of 100% of the
 principal amount by an accredited investor.

On April 20, 2012, Park issued $30.0 million of subordinated notes to 56
 purchasers. These subordinated notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 
7% with quarterly interest payments. The maturity date of these subordinated
notes is April 20, 2022. The subordinated notes may be prepaid by Park any
time after April 20, 2017. The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 Capital 
under applicable rules and regulations 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 debenture and subordinated notes.

Sale of Common Shares: Park sold an aggregate of 509,184 common 
shares, out of treasury shares, during 2010. Of the 509,184 common shares
sold in 2010, 437,200 common shares were issued upon the exercise of
 warrants  associated with the capital raise that closed on October 30, 2009. 
As part of the capital raise that closed on December 10, 2010, Park sold 
71,984 common shares and issued warrants for the purchase of 71,984
common shares. In total for 2010, Park sold 509,184 common shares 
and issued 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.

There were no sales of common shares during the years ended December 31,
2012 or 2011.

Shareholders’ Equity: Tangible shareholders’ equity (shareholders’ equity
less goodwill and other intangible assets) to tangible assets (total assets less
goodwill and other intangible assets) was 8.79% at December 31, 2012,
 compared to 9.68% at December 31, 2011 and 9.04% at December 31, 2010.

The ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets for each of the 
fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 included the issuance of $100
million of Park Series A Preferred Shares to the U.S. Treasury on December 23,
2008. As previously discussed, Park repurchased the $100 million of Park

32

Series A Preferred Shares from the U.S. Treasury on April 25, 2012. Excluding
the balance of Series A Preferred Shares, the ratio of tangible common share-
holders’ equity to tangible assets was 8.25% at December 31, 2011 and 7.69%
at December 31, 2010.  As noted above, the ratio of tangible common share-
holders’ equity to tangible assets was 8.79% at December 31, 2012.

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 shareholders’ equity. The unrealized
holding gain on AFS securities, net of income taxes, was $9.6 million at 
year-end 2012, compared to an unrealized holding gains of $12.7 million at
year-end 2011 and $15.1 million at year-end 2010. The decrease in the amount
of unrealized holding gains on AFS securities, net of income taxes, at year-end
2011 was primarily due to the sale of AFS securities in 2011 for gains. Park 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 $6.2 million, $5.0 million and $2.4 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010,
 respectively. The comprehensive loss in each of 2012, 2011 and 2010 was 
due to changes in actuarial assumptions, primarily decreases in the discount
rate. This actuarial loss more than offset the positive investment returns to 
the Pension Plan in 2010, 2011 and 2012. At year-end 2012, the balance 
in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) pertaining to the 
Pension Plan was $(27.1) million, compared to $(20.9) million at 
December 31, 2011, and $(15.9) million at December 31, 2010.
Park also recognized net comprehensive income/(loss) of $0.6 million, 
$0.5 million and $(0.1) million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 
2011 and 2010, respectively, due to the mark-to-market of the $25 million 
(notional amount) cash flow hedge that expired on December 28, 2012. 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 $4,411 million in 2012, compared to $4,714
million in 2011 and $4,642 million in 2010. The average yield on loans was
5.35% in 2012, compared to 5.61% in 2011 and 5.80% in 2010. The average
prime lending rate was 3.25% in 2012, 2011 and 2010. Approximately 52% 
of Park’s loan balances mature or reprice within one year (see Table 30). 
The yield on average loan balances for each quarter of 2012 was 5.23% for the
fourth quarter, compared to 5.31% for the third quarter, 5.36% for the second
quarter and 5.52% for the first quarter. At December 31, 2012, loan balances
were $4,450 million, compared to $4,317 million at year-end 2011, an increase
of $133 million or 3.1%. The loan growth of $133 million in 2012 was due to
increases in loans of $197 million at PNB and $3 million at GFSC, offset by a
decline in legacy Vision loans held by SEPH of $67 million. The increase in
loans experienced at PNB in 2012 was primarily related to continued demand
for 1-4 family  mortgages, which increased by $123.5 million. Of the $123.5
million increase in the mortgage loan portfolio, approximately $91.1 million 
of the increase was associated with our decision to continue to retain a portion
of the 15-year, fixed-rate mortgages originated by PNB rather than selling these
loans in the secondary market. The balance of the increase in loans of $73.2
million was across all loan portfolio categories, with the exception of the real
estate  construction portfolio, which declined during the 2012 year.

In 2011, year-end loan balances were $4,317 million, a decrease of $416
million or 8.8% from the balance of $4,733 million at year-end 2010. The large
decrease in loan balances was primarily due to $369 million of loans at Vision
being shown on Park’s balance sheet as assets held for sale at December 31,
2011.

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   &   A N A L Y S I S

A year ago, management projected that year-end loan balances would increase
by 1% to 3% in 2012. The actual change in year-end loan balances was an
increase of 3.1%.
Year-end residential real estate loans were $1,713 million, $1,629 million and
$1,692 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Residential real estate
loans increased by $84 million or 5.2% in 2012, primarily due to manage-
ment’s decision to continue to retain certain of the 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage
loans originated during the year. Residential real estate loans decreased by
$63.6 million or 3.8% in 2011, due to the pending sale of the Vision  business.
The balance of loans for 15-year, fixed rate mortgage was $315 million at
December 31, 2011, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.79%. This 
15-year, fixed-rate product increased by $91 million to $406 million 
at December 31, 2012, and has a weighted average interest rate of 3.57%.

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 certain of the 15-year, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that 
it originated. The balance of sold fixed-rate residential mortgage loans was
$1,313 million at year-end 2012, compared to $1,347 million at year-end 2011
and $1,471 million at year-end 2010. The decrease in Park’s sold residential
mortgage loan portfolio of $158 million in the last two years was due to the
retention of the 15-year, fixed-rate residential mortgage loan product. The
retained 15-year fixed-rate residential mortgage loan product totaled $406
million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $231 million from the $175
million in this portfolio at December 31, 2010. This increase of $231 
million was $73 million more than the decrease in the long-term, fixed-rate
 residential mortgage sold servicing portfolio. Management is pleased with this
performance, 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 $652 million, $617 million and $667 million 
in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Consumer loans increased by $35 million
or 5.7% in 2012 and decreased by $50 million or 7.5% in 2011. The increase
in consumer loans in 2012 was primarily due to an increase in automobile
lending in Ohio. The decrease in consumer loans in 2011 was primarily due to
a decline in automobile loans originated in Ohio, as competition for automobile
loans increased in 2011. 
On a combined basis, year-end commercial, financial and agricultural loans,
real estate construction loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $2,082
million, $2,070 million and $2,371 million at year-end 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. These combined loan totals increased by $12 million or 0.6% in
2012 and decreased by $301 million or 12.7% in 2011. The increase in 2012
was primarily due to an increase in commercial, financial and agricultural
loans of $80.1 million, offset by a decline in real estate construction loans of
$52.0 million. The decrease in 2011 was primarily due to the pending sale 
of the Vision business as $211 million of these combined loan totals were
 classified as assets held for sale on Park’s balance sheet at December 31, 
2011.

Investment Securities: Park’s investment securities portfolio is structured 
to minimize credit risk, provide liquidity and contribute to earnings. As
 conditions change over time, Park’s overall interest rate risk, liquidity needs
and potential return on the investment portfolio 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). 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 most of the U.S. Government sponsored entity
 collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) that it purchases as held-to-
maturity. A classification of held-to-maturity means that Park has the positive
intent and the ability to hold these securities until maturity. Park classifies most
of its CMOs as held-to-maturity because these securities are generally not as
liquid as the other U.S. Government sponsored entity asset-backed securities
that Park classifies as AFS. At year-end 2012, Park’s held-to-maturity securities
portfolio was $401 million, compared to $820 million at year-end 2011 and
$674 million at year-end 2010. Park purchased $388 million of CMOs in 2012,
$628 million of CMOs in 2011 and $314 million of CMOs in 2010. All of the
CMOs, mortgage-backed securities, and callable notes in Park’s investment
portfolio were issued by a U.S. Government sponsored entity.
Average taxable investment securities were $1,610 million in 2012, compared
to $1,841 million in 2011 and $1,730 million in 2010. The average yield on
taxable securities was 3.14% in 2012, compared to 3.74% in 2011 and 4.44%
in 2010. Average tax-exempt investment securities were $3.1 million in 2012,
compared to $8 million in 2011 and $17 million in 2010. The average tax-
equivalent yield on tax-exempt investment securities was 7.03% in 2012,
compared to 7.17% in 2011 and 7.24% in 2010.
Year-end total investment securities (at amortized cost) were $1,567 million 
in 2012, compared to $1,689 million in 2011 and $2,017 million in 2010.
Management purchased investment securities totaling $1,227 million in 2012,
$1,268 million in 2011 and $3,033 million in 2010. The decrease in investment
purchases during 2011 was primarily due to the reduced interest rate environ-
ment 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
 purchases during 2010 included 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 $1,348 million in 2012, $1,013 million
in 2011 and $2,385 million in 2010. The increase in proceeds from repayments
and maturities in 2012 was primarily due to accelerated prepayments of U.S.
Government sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Government
sponsored entity CMOs and also from U.S. Government sponsored entity
callable notes being called. 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 proceeds

33

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   &   A N A L Y S I S

from repayments and maturities in 2010 included 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 2010.
Proceeds from sales of investment securities were $610 million in 2011 and
$460 million in 2010. Park realized net security gains on a pre-tax basis of
$28.8 million in 2011, and $11.9 million in 2010. There were no sales of
investment securities in 2012.

At year-end 2012, 2011 and 2010, the average tax-equivalent yield on the 
total investment portfolio was 2.76%, 3.31% and 4.01%, respectively. The
weighted average remaining maturity of the total investment portfolio was 
2.1 years at December 31, 2012, 1.7 years at December 31, 2011 and 3.6 
years at December 31, 2010. Obligations of the U.S. Treasury and other U.S.
Government sponsored entities, and U.S. Government sponsored entity asset-
backed securities were approximately 95.7% of the total investment portfolio 
at year-end 2012, approximately 95.7% of the total investment portfolio at 
year-end 2011 and approximately 95.9% of the total investment portfolio 
at year-end 2010.

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 2012,
management estimated that the average maturity of the investment portfolio
would lengthen to 5.4 years with a 100 basis point increase in long-term inter-
est rates and to 6.5 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

Table 14 – Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

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 2012, management
estimated that the average maturity of the investment portfolio would decrease
to 1.1 years with a 100 basis point decrease in long-term interest rates and to
0.9 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 14 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 by $37.9 million or 13.9% to $235.3 million for
2012 compared to a decrease of $810,000 or 0.3% to $273.2 million for 2011.
The tax equivalent net yield on interest earning assets (net interest margin) was
3.83% for 2012, compared to 4.14% for 2011 and 4.26% for 2010. The net
interest rate spread (the difference between rates received for interest earning
assets and the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities) was 3.62% for 2012,
compared to 3.94% for 2011 and 4.01% for 2010. The decrease in net interest
income in 2012 was due to the decrease in the net interest spread to 3.62%
from 3.94% and due to the sale of the Vision business on February 16,
2012. The average balance of interest earning assets decreased by $451 
million, or 6.8%, to $6,190 million in 2012 largely as a result of the sale 
of the Vision business.

The average yield on interest earning assets was 4.64% in 2012, compared to
5.03% in 2011 and 5.36% in 2010. The average federal funds rate for 2012 
was 0.15%, compared to an average rate of 0.10% in 2011 and 0.18% in 2010.
On a quarterly basis for 2012, the average yield on interest earning assets was
4.49% for the fourth quarter, 4.56% for the third quarter, 4.71% for the second
quarter and 4.81% for the first quarter.

The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 1.02% in 2012,
 compared to 1.09% in 2011 and 1.35% in 2010. On a quarterly basis for 
2012, the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 0.97% for the
fourth quarter, 1.00% for the third quarter, and 1.05% for both the second 
and first quarters.

The following table displays (for each quarter of 2012) the average balance of
interest earning assets, net interest income and the tax equivalent net interest
margin.

Other Income: Total other income was $92.4 million in 2012, compared to
$94.9 million in 2011 and $74.9 million in 2010. The decrease of $2.5 million
in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the fact that the increase of
$22.2 million from the gain recognized on the sale of the Vision business, the
increase of $3.0 million in other service income and the increase of approxi-
mately $1.0 million in income from fiduciary activities, were more than offset 
by there being no gains from the sale of investment securities in 2012, in
 contrast to $28.8 million of gains in 2011. 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.

Income from fiduciary activities increased by $1.0 million or 6.6% to $15.9
million in 2012 and increased by $1.1 million or 7.9% to $15.0 million in
2011. The increases in fiduciary fee income in 2012 and 2011 were 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
largely based on the market value of the assets being managed. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average stock index annual average was 10,669 for calendar year
2010, 11,958 for calendar year 2011 and 12,960 for calendar year 2012. 
The market value of the assets that Park manages was $3.55 billion at
December 31, 2012, compared to $3.3 billion at December 31, 2011 
and December 31, 2010. 
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $1.6 million or 8.8% to
$16.7 million in 2012 and decreased by $1.4 million or 7.2% to $18.3 million
in 2011. The decrease in 2012 was primarily due to the sale of the Vision
 business on February 16, 2012, which resulted in a $1.0 million decrease 
in services charges on deposits in 2012 compared to 2011. The balance of the
decline in 2012 of approximately $615,000 was related to declines in service
charges on deposits within Park’s Ohio-based operations, largely as a result of 
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 2012.
As previously discussed, on February 16, 2012, Park completed the sale of the
Vision business for a purchase price of $27.9 million. As a result of the  trans -
action, Park recorded a pre-tax gain of $22.2 million (after actual expenses
directly related to the transaction). This gain on sale was recognized at Vision
prior to the merger of the remaining Vision subsidiary with and into SEPH.
Park recognized net gains from the sale of investment securities of $28.8
million in 2011 and $11.9 million in 2010. There were no sales of investments
securities in 2012. 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.
Fee income earned from origination and sale into the secondary market of
long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans is included within other non-yield related
fees in the subcategory “Other service income.” Other service income increased
by $3.0 million, or 28.5%, to $13.6 million in 2012, compared to $10.6 million
in 2011. The increase in other service income was primarily due to an increase
in the amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans originated and sold in 2012 within
Park’s Ohio-based operations. Other service income for Park’s Ohio-based
operations increased $4.5 million in 2012. This increase was offset by a $1.5
million decline in other service income for the combined SEPH/VB as a result 
of the sale of the Vision business. The amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans orig-
inated and sold in 2012 was $409 million, compared to $190 million in 2011.
As previously discussed, Park began to originate and retain 15-year, fixed-rate
residential mortgages in August 2010, which results in fewer loans being sold 
in the secondary market. The balance of 15-year, fixed-rate  resi dential mort-
gage loans retained was $406 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of
$91 million compared to $315 million at December 31, 2011. In 2011, 
other service income decreased by $3.2 million, or 23.2%, to $10.6 million,
compared to $13.8 million in 2010. The decrease in other service income in
2011 was primarily due to a decline in the amount of fixed-rate mortgage loans
originated and sold. 
Checkcard fee income, which is generated from debit card transactions
increased $45,000 or 0.4 % to $12.5 million in 2012. During 2011, checkcard
fee income increased $1.3 million or 11.8% to $12.5 million. The increases 
in both 2012 and 2011 were attributable to continued increases in the volume
of debit card transactions. In 2012, increases in checkcard fee income of
$802,000 for Park’s Ohio-based operations were offset by a decline of
$757,000 for SEPH/VB following the sale of the Vision business. 
Gain/(loss) on the sale of OREO, net, totaled $4.4 million in 2012, an increase
of $3.1 million compared to $1.3 million in 2011. The gain/(loss) on sale of

36

OREO was primarily related to other real estate owned at SEPH. Of the $4.4
million net gain, $3.9 million was at SEPH.
OREO devaluations, which result from declines in the fair value (less
 anticipated selling costs) of property acquired through foreclosure, totaled 
$6.9 million in 2012, a decrease of $1.3 million or 16.4% compared to $8.2
million in 2011. The OREO devaluations in 2012 related primarily to other real
estate owned at SEPH. Of the $6.9 million in OREO devaluations in 2012, $5.6
million were related to devaluations recognized at SEPH. Of the $5.6 million at
SEPH, $1.7 million was recorded as a valuation allowance to mark to market
approximately $6.7 million of OREO ($5 million net of allowance) to a bulk
sale value for potential sale of a group of properties.
A year ago, Park’s management forecast that total other income, excluding the
gain from the sale of the Vision business, would be approximately $62 million
to $66 million for 2012. The actual performance for 2012 was higher than
management’s  original estimate, at $70.2 million. 
Other Expense: Total other expense was $188.0 million in 2012, compared 
to $188.3 million in 2011 and $187.1 million in 2010. Total other expense
decreased by $349,000, or 0.2%, in 2012. Total other expense increased by
$1.2 million or 0.6% in 2011. The  following table displays total other expense
for Park in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased by $6.1 million or 6.0% to
$96.0 million in 2012 and increased by $3.8 million or 3.8% to $102.1 million
in 2011. The decrease in 2012 was primarily related to a decrease of $9.0
million at SEPH/VB due to the sale of the Vision business on February 16, 2012,
offset by a $2.9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits for Park’s
Ohio-based operations. Park had 1,826 full-time equivalent employees at year-
end 2012, compared to 1,920 at year-end 2011 and 1,969 at year-end 2010.

Professional fees and services increased by $3.1 million or 14.9% to $24.3
million in 2012 and increased by $1.1 million or 5.7% to $21.1 million in
2011. 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 2011 and 2012 was primarily due to an increase in legal and
consulting fees at both PNB and SEPH. This additional expense was primarily
related to an increase in costs associated with the workout of problem loans 
at Park’s SEPH subsidiary.

Net occupancy expense decreased by $1.9 million or 16.4% to $9.4 million 
in 2012 and decreased by $215,000 or 1.9% to $11.3 million in 2011. The
reduction in 2012 was due largely to the sale of the Vision business.

Insurance expense decreased by $1.0 million or 15.3% to $5.8 million in 2012
and decreased by $2.2 million or 24.1% to $6.8 million in 2011. The decline in
2012 was primarily the result of lower insurance expense at SEPH/VB following
the sale of the Vision business, which eliminated the FDIC insurance expense
for the Vision subsidiary. The remaining decline in 2012 was the result of the
full year impact of the new FDIC assessment methodology utilizing total assets
less tangible equity, which went into effect in the third quarter of 2011. 

As previously discussed, as part of the transaction between Vision and
Centennial, Park agreed to allow Centennial to “put back” up to $7.5 million
aggregate principal amount of loans, which were originally included within the
loans sold in the transaction. The loan put option expired on August 16, 2012,
180 days after the closing of the transaction. In total, Centennial put back forty-
four loans, totaling approximately $7.5 million. Upon repurchase, Park was
required to charge each of the repurchased loans down to its then current fair
value. Park recognized $3.3 million of loan put provision expense in 2012 to
establish a liability account that was utilized to cover write downs on the forty-
four loans repurchased from Centennial.

The subcategory “other” expense includes expenses for supplies, travel,
 charitable contributions, amortization of low income housing tax investments
and other miscellaneous expense. The subcategory other expense increased 
by $1.2 million or 8.4% in 2012 and increased by $2.0 million or 16.8% in
2011. The $1.2 million increase in 2012 was largely due to the establishment 
of a $1.5 million liability for potential credit loss exposure related to certain 
off-balance sheet arrangements in the Ohio-based operations.

A year ago, Park’s management projected that total other expense would be
approximately $170 million to $175 million in 2012. The actual expense for 
the year of $188.0 million was $13.0 million higher than the upper end of
 management’s estimate. 

Income Taxes: Federal income tax expense was $25.7 million in 2012,
 compared to $28.3 million in 2011 and $17.8 million in 2010. Federal 
income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes, adjusted for 
the state income tax expense or benefit, was 24.6% in 2012, compared to
25.6% in 2011 and to 23.4% in 2010. The difference between the statutory
federal income tax rate of 35% and Park’s effective tax rate is the permanent tax
differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal
investments and loans, low income housing tax credits, bank owned life insur-
ance income, and dividends paid on shares held within Park’s salary deferral
plan. Park’s permanent tax differences for 2012 were approximately $11.4
million. 

State income tax expense (benefit) was zero in 2012, $6.1 million in 2011 and
$(1.2) million in 2010. All of the state income tax expense or benefit pertains
to Vision, 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 carry-forward asset and other state
deferred tax assets at Vision.

State income tax benefit was $1.2 million in 2010 as a result of losses at Vision.
Park performed an analysis in 2010 to determine if a valuation allowance
against deferred tax assets was required in accordance with GAAP. Vision was
subject to state income tax in Alabama and Florida. In 2010, a state tax benefit
of $1.16 million was recorded by Vision, 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 ensure the allowance is sufficient to
absorb probable, incurred credit losses. 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 for Park was $35.4 million in 2012, $63.3 million
in 2011 and $87.1 million in 2010. Net loan charge-offs were $48.3 million in
2012, $125.1 million in 2011 and $60.2 million in 2010. Net loan charge-offs
for the year ended December 31, 2012 included the charge-off of $12.1 million
related to the retained Vision loans to bring the retained Vision loan portfolio 
to fair value prior to the merger of Vision with and into SEPH on February 16,
2012. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 1.10% in 2012,
2.65% in 2011 and 1.30% in 2010.

Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries had a combined loan loss provision of $17.5
million in 2012, $32.2 million in 2011 and $25.7 million in 2010. Absent the
loan loss provision of $3.4 million, $11.1 million, and $7.1 million for 2012,
2011 and 2010, respectively, related to participation in Vision loans that PNB
purchased, the provision for loan losses for Ohio-based subsidiaries would
have been $14.1 million, $21.1 million, and $18.6 million, respectively. Net
loan charge-offs for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries were $19.7 million in 2012,
$49.2 million in 2011 and $23.6 million in 2010. The net loan charge-off ratio
for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries was 0.46% for 2012, 1.19% for 2011 and
0.60% for 2010. Of the $19.7 million and $49.2 million in net loan charge-offs
for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries in 2012 and 2011, respectively, $3.5 million 
and $18.1 million were related to participations in Vision loans that PNB had
purchased. Absent the charge-offs on these Vision loan participations, net
charge-offs for Park’s Ohio-based operations were $16.2 million and $31.1
million and the net loan charge-off ratio was 0.38% and 0.76% for 2012 
and 2011.

The provision for loan losses for SEPH, including those provisions recorded 
at Vision prior to the February 16, 2012 merger of Vision with and into SEPH,
was $17.9 million in 2012. The provision for loan losses for Vision was $31.1
million in 2011 and $61.4 million in 2010. Net loan charge-offs for SEPH,
including net charge-offs of $12.1 million recorded at Vision prior to the
merger of Vision with and into SEPH, were $28.6 million in 2012. Net charge-
offs for Vision were $75.9 million in 2011 and $36.6 million in 2010. SEPH’s
ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 21.5% in 2012 and Vision’s
ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 13.04% in 2011 and 5.48% 
in 2010.

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

The commercial loan table above demonstrates the improvement experienced
over the last 24 months in Park’s Ohio-based operations’ commercial portfolio.
Pass rated commercial loans have grown $179.7 million, or 8.8% since
December 31, 2010. Over this period, special mention loans have declined by
$36.0 million, or 42.2% and substandard loans have declined by $61.7 million,
or 78.5%. These improved credit metrics in the special mention and substan-
dard categories of the commercial loan portfolio have a significant impact on
the general reserves that are established to cover incurred losses on performing
commercial loans. As these metrics have improved over the past 24 months,
general reserves have declined.

Delinquent and accruing loan trends for Park’s Ohio-based operations have
also improved over the past 24 months. Delinquent and accruing loans were
$39.6 million or 0.90% of total loans at December 31, 2012, compared to
$40.1 million (0.96%) at December 31, 2011 and $45.8 million (1.12%) 
at December 31, 2010.  

Impaired commercial loans for Park’s Ohio-based operations were $89.4
million as of December 31, 2012, down slightly from the balances of impaired
loans of $95.1 million and $90.7 million at December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The $89.4 million of impaired commercial loans at December 31,
2012 included $16.7 million of loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring
which are currently on accrual status and performing in accordance with the
restructured terms.  Impaired commercial loans are individually evaluated for
impairment and specific reserves are established to cover incurred losses.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at year-end 2012 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 Management’s
Discussion and Analysis for additional information on management’s 
evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.

A year ago, management projected the provision for loan losses would be 
$20 million to $27 million in 2012. The actual performance was above the 
high end of our expectation by $8.4 million, at $35.4 million for the 2012 year.
The provision for loan losses was greater than management’s projection due to
$16.1 million in loan loss provision related to one loan relationship retained
from the Vision loan portfolio, most of which was recognized in the third
quarter of 2012.

On February 16, 2012, when Vision merged with and into SEPH, the loans
which had been retained by Vision were transferred by operation of law at their
fair market value and no allowance for loan loss has been or will be carried at
SEPH. The loans included in both the performing and nonperforming portfolios
of SEPH continue to be carried at their fair value. The table below provides
additional information regarding charge-offs as a percentage of unpaid
 principal balance, as of December 31, 2012:

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

At year-end 2012, the allowance for loan losses was $55.5 million or 1.25% 
of total loans outstanding, compared to $68.4 million or 1.59% of total loans
outstanding at year-end 2011 and $143.6 million or 3.03% of total loans out-
standing at year-end 2010.  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, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The decline in general reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans from
1.27% at December 31, 2011 to 1.10% at December 31, 2012 was primarily
due to the elimination of general reserves held against the retained Vision
 performing loans that are held at SEPH and improving credit trends in the
 commercial loan portfolio for Park’s Ohio-based operations (PNB and GFSC). 
At December 31, 2011, Vision had general reserves of approximately $1.85
million, which were established to cover incurred losses on the retained
 performing loans following the sale of the Vision business to Centennial. Upon
completion of the sale of the Vision business and prior to the merger of Vision
with and into SEPH on February 16, 2012, all retained loans (performing and
nonperforming) were charged down to their fair value, resulting in a $1.85
million decline in Park’s general reserves.

As of December 31, 2012, 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. 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,
accruing TDRs, 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 2012 was $236.2 million. Park
has forgone interest income of approximately $7.2 million from nonaccrual
loans as of December 31, 2012 that would have been earned during the year 
if all loans had performed in accordance with their original terms.

Economic conditions began deteriorating during the second half of 2007 
and continued throughout 2008 and 2009. While conditions across the U.S.
improved slightly in 2010, 2011 and 2012, 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 nonperform-
ing loans over the past five years. Financial institutions operating in Florida and
Alabama (including Vision) have been particularly hard hit by the severe reces-
sion as the demand for real estate and the price of real estate have sharply
decreased.

Park had $68.3 million of commercial loans included on the watch list 
of potential problem commercial loans at December 31, 2012 compared 
to $134.5 million at year-end 2011 and $238.7 million at year-end 2010.
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 1.5% in 2012, 3.1% in 2011 and 5.0% in 2010.
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, 2012, loans considered to
be impaired consisted substantially of commercial loans graded as “doubtful”
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 and annual loan loss provision, Park reviews
the grades of commercial loans. These loans are graded from 1 to 8. A grade 
of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss.
Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 4.5 (pass-rated) are considered to be 
of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are
considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage 
is allocated to these loans. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), also
considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk

40

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 com-
mercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged off.

As of December 31, 2012, management had taken partial charge-offs of
approximately $105.1 million related to the $137.2 million of commercial
loans considered to be impaired, compared to charge-offs of approximately
$103.8 million related to the $191.5 million of impaired commercial loans at
December 31, 2011. The table below provides additional information related 
to the Park impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2012, including those
impaired commercial loans at PNB, impaired PNB participations in Vision loans
and those impaired Vision commercial loans (commercial land and develop-
ment (“CL & D”) and other commercial) retained at SEPH.

A significant portion of Park’s allowance for loan losses is allocated to
 commercial loans classified as “special mention” or “substandard.” “Special
mention” loans are loans that have potential weaknesses that may result in loss
exposure to Park. “Substandard” loans are those that exhibit a well defined
weakness, jeopardizing repayment of the loan, resulting in a higher probability
that Park will suffer a loss on the loan unless the weakness is corrected. Park’s
annualized 48-month loss experience, defined as charge-offs plus changes in
specific reserves, within the commercial loan portfolio has been 0.66% of the
principal balance of these loans. This annualized 48-month loss experience
includes only the performance of the PNB loan portfolio.  The allowance for
loan losses related to performing commercial loans was $32.1 million or
1.40% of the outstanding principal balance of other accruing commercial 
loans at December 31, 2012. 

The overall reserve of 1.40% for other accruing commercial loans breaks down
as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved at 1.25%; special mention
commercial loans are reserved at 4.75%; and substandard commercial loans
are reserved at 11.12%. The reserve levels for pass-rated, special mention 
and substandard commercial loans in excess of the annualized 48-month 
loss  experience of 0.66% are due to the following factors which management
reviews on a quarterly or annual basis:

(cid:0) 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.

(cid:0) 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.

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   &   A N A L Y S I S

(cid:0) 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 the adjustments made to the environmental loss factor
impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio
 correlate to changes in the macroeconomic environment.

Generally, consumer loans are not individually graded. Consumer loans include:
(1) mortgage and installment loans included in the construction real estate
segment of the loan portfolio; (2) mortgage, home equity lines of credit
(HELOC), and installment loans included in the residential real estate segment
of the loan portfolio; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment of the
loan portfolio. The amount of loan loss reserve assigned to these loans is based
on historical loss experience over the past 48 months. Management generally
considers a one-year coverage period (the “Historical Loss Factor”)  appro -
priate because the probable loss on any given loan in the consumer loan pool
should ordinarily become apparent in that time frame. However, management
may incorporate adjustments to the Historical Loss Factor as circumstances
warrant additional reserves (e.g., increased loan delinquencies, improving 
or deteriorating economic conditions, changes in lending management and
underwriting standards, etc.). At December 31, 2012, the coverage level 
within the consumer portfolio was approximately 1.52 years.

The judgmental increases discussed above incorporate management’s
 evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose
 additional risks and assign a component of the allowance for loan losses in
consideration of these factors. Such environmental factors include: national 
and local economic trends and conditions; experience, ability and depth of
lending management and staff; effects of any changes in lending policies and
procedures; levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies,
impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries. The determination of this
 component of the allowance for loan losses requires considerable management
judgment. As always, management is working to address weaknesses in those
loans that may result in future loss. Actual loss experience may be more or less
than the amount allocated.

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

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $43.8 million during 2012 to $201.3
million at year-end. Cash provided by operating activities was $105.2 million 
in 2012, $123.5 million in 2011 and $127.3 million in 2010. Net income was
the primary source of cash for operating activities during each year.

Cash used in investing activities was $194.7 million in 2012. Cash provided 
by investing activities was $274.4 million in 2011 and cash used in investing
activities was $353.3 million in 2010. 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 $120.6 million in 2012,
provided cash of $354.8 million in 2011 and used cash of $187.7 million 
in 2010. 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 was $163.1 million in 2012, $71.9 million in 2011 and
$153.7 million in 2010.

Cash provided by financing activities was $133.4 million for 2012. Cash used 
in financing activities was $374.2 million in 2011. 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 increased and provided $250.9
million of cash in 2012, and decreased and used $97.7 million of cash in 2011,
and also decreased in 2010 and used cash of $92.6 million. Another major

source of cash for financing activities is short-term borrowings and long-term
debt. In 2012, net short-term borrowings increased and provided $80.6 million
in cash, and net long-term borrowings decreased and used $65.1 million in
cash.  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. Park’s management generated cash in 2010 from the sale of common
shares previously held as treasury shares. The sale of common shares provided
cash of $33.5 million in 2010. Additionally, in 2012, cash declined by $100.0
million from the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Shares and $2.8 million
from the repurchase of the common share warrant, both from the U.S. Treasury.
Finally, cash declined by $60.2 million in 2012, $62.9 million in 2011, and
$62.1 million in 2010, from cash dividends paid.

Funds are available from a number of sources, including the investment
 securities portfolio, the core deposit base, Federal Home Loan Bank borrow-
ings and the capability to securitize or package loans for sale. In the opinion 
of Park’s management the present funding sources provide more than adequate
liquidity for Park to meet its cash flow needs.

Investment securities and loans that are subject to prepayment are shown in the table by the
earlier of their re-pricing date or their expected repayment date and not by their contractual
maturity date. Nonaccrual loans of $185.3 million are included within the three to twelve
month maturity category. 

(2) Management considers interest bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts to be 
core deposits and, therefore, not as rate sensitive as other deposit accounts and borrowed
money. Accordingly, only 52% of interest bearing transaction accounts and 23% 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 18.84% to a negative 2.94%.

The interest rate sensitivity gap analysis provides a good overall picture of
Park’s static interest rate risk position. At December 31, 2012, the cumulative
interest earning assets maturing or repricing within twelve months were 
$3,314 million compared to the cumulative interest bearing liabilities maturing
or repricing within twelve months of $2,171 million. For the twelve-month
cumulative gap position, rate sensitive assets exceeded rate sensitive liabilities 
by $1,144 million or 18.84% of interest earning assets.
A positive twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap (assets exceed liabilities)
would suggest that Park’s net interest margin would increase if interest rates
were to increase. Conversely, a negative twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity
gap would suggest that Park’s net interest margin would decrease if interest
rates were to decrease. However, the usefulness of the interest rate 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.
The cumulative twelve-month interest rate sensitivity gap position at year-end
2011 was a positive $1,376 million or 21.5% of total interest earning assets.
The percentage of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within one 
year was 54.6% at year-end 2012, compared to 61.3% at year-end 2011. 
The percentage of interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within 
one year was 45.4% at year-end 2012, compared to 50.3% at year-end 2011.
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 non-interest 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, 2012, the earnings simulation model projected that
net income would increase by 1.1% using a rising interest rate scenario and
decrease by 6.6% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. 
At December 31, 2011, the earnings simulation model projected that net
income would increase by 2.1% using a rising interest rate scenario and
decrease by 3.5% 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.
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 was 3.83% in
2012, 4.14% in 2011, and 4.26% in 2010. 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. 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
In the ordinary course of operations, Park enters into certain contractual
 obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through 
debt issuances as well as leases for premises. The following table summarizes
Park’s significant and determinable obligations by payment date at December
31, 2012.

Further discussion of the nature of each specified obligation is included in 
the referenced Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, 2012, the Corporation had $815.6 million of loan commit-
ments for commercial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate 
loans and had $23.0 million of standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2011,
the Corporation had $809.1 million of loan commitments for commercial,
commercial real estate and residential real estate loans and had $18.8 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  com -
mitments often expire without being drawn upon. However, all of the loan
commitments and standby letters of credit are permitted to be drawn upon in
2013. At December 31, 2012, Park had established a $1.7 million liability for
potential credit loss exposure related to these off-balance sheet arrangements.
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, 2012.

Capital: Park’s primary means of maintaining capital adequacy is through 
net retained earnings. At December 31, 2012, the Corporation’s shareholders’
equity was $650.4 million, compared to $742.4 million at December 31, 
2011. Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2012 was 9.79% of total assets,
compared to 10.65% of total assets at December 31, 2011. The decline in
shareholders’ equity of $92.0 million was primarily due to Park’s April 25, 
2012 repurchase of the $100 million in Series A Preferred Shares issued 
to the U.S. Treasury as part of the CPP and the repurchase of the warrant to
 purchase 227,376 Park common shares for $2.8 million during 2012.

Tangible shareholders’ equity (shareholders’ equity less goodwill and other
intangible assets) was $577.7 million at December 31, 2012 and was $667.5
million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, tangible shareholders’
equity was 8.79% of total tangible assets (total assets less goodwill and other
intangible assets), compared to 9.68% at December 31, 2011.

M A N A G E M E N T ’ S   D I S C U S S I O N   &   A N A L Y S I S

Tangible common equity (tangible shareholders’ equity less the balance, if any,
of the Series A Preferred Shares) was $577.7 million at December 31, 2012,
 compared to $569.4 million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012,
tangible common equity was 8.79% of tangible assets, compared to 8.25% 
at December 31, 2011.

Net income for 2012 was $78.6 million, $82.1 million in 2011 and $58.1
million in 2010.

Preferred share dividends paid as a result of Park’s participation in the CPP
were $1.6 million in 2012 and $5.0 million in 2011, and 2010. Accretion of 
the discount on the Series A Preferred Shares was $1,854,000 in 2012,
$856,000 in 2011, and $807,000 in 2010.  As mentioned previously, Park
repurchased the Series A Preferred Shares on April 25, 2012. Income available
to common shareholders is net income less the preferred share dividends and
accretion. Income available to common shareholders was $75.2 million for
2012, $76.3 million in 2011, and $52.3 million in 2010.

Cash dividends declared for common shares were $57.9 million in 2012 and 
2011, and $57.1 million in 2010. On a per share basis, the cash dividends
declared were $3.76 per share in each of 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Park did not purchase any treasury shares during 2012, 2011 or 2010.
Treasury shares had a balance of $76.4 million at December 31, 2012, 
$77.0 million at December 31, 2011, and $77.7 million at December 31, 2010.
During 2012, the value of treasury shares was reduced by $632,000 as a result
of the issuance of an aggregate of 6,120 common shares to directors of Park
and to the directors of Park’s bank subsidiary, PNB (and its divisions). During
2011, the value of treasury shares was reduced by $726,000 as a result of the
issuance of an aggregate of 7,020 common shares to directors of Park and to
the directors of Park’s bank subsidiaries PNB and Vision (and their divisions).
During 2010, Park issued 437,200 common shares as a result of the exercise 
of warrants that were originally issued in 2009. Also during 2010, Park issued
71,984 common shares resulting in a total of 509,184 common shares issued
in 2010, which reduced the amount of treasury shares available. The issuance
of these shares out of treasury shares reduced the value of treasury shares by
the weighted average cost of $47.0 million in 2010. Additionally in 2010, the
value of treasury shares 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 PNB and Vision (and their divisions). 

Park did not issue any new common shares (that were not already held in
 treasury shares, as discussed above) in either 2012 or 2011. 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 canceled
during 2010. Common shares had a balance of $302.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2012, and $301.2 million at each of the years ended
December 31, 2011, and 2010.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $17.5 million at December 31,
2012, compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2011 and $1.9 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.
During the 2012 year, the change in net unrealized gains, net of tax, was a loss
of $3.1 million and Park did not realize any after-tax gains, resulting in an
 unrealized gain of $9.6 million at December 31, 2012. In addition, Park
 recognized other comprehensive loss of $6.2 million related to the change in
Pension Plan assets and benefit obligations in 2012 compared to a loss of $5.0
million in 2011. Finally, Park has recognized other comprehensive gain of $0.6
million in 2012 due to the mark-to-market of a cash flow hedge at December
31, 2012 compared to a $0.5 million gain in comprehensive income for the
year ended December 31, 2011.

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 shareholders’ equity less intangible assets divided by tangible assets) is 
4%. Park’s leverage ratio was 9.17% at December 31, 2012 and exceeded the
minimum capital required by $344 million. The minimum Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio (defined as leverage capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 4%.
Park’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.12% at December 31, 2012 and
exceeded the minimum capital required by $424 million. The minimum total
risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital plus supplemental capital
divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 8%. Park’s total risk-based capital ratio was
15.77% at December 31, 2012 and exceeded the minimum capital required 
by $361 million.

The Park National Bank, the only financial institution subsidiary of Park, 
met the well capitalized ratio guidelines at December 31, 2012. See Note 22 
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the capital ratios for Park
and its financial institution subsidiary.

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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Park’s management uses certain non-GAAP
(U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures to evaluate
Park’s performance. Specifically, management reviews (i) net income available
to common shareholders excluding impairment charge, (ii) net income avail-
able to common shareholders excluding impairment charge per common
share-diluted, (iii) return on average assets excluding impairment charge, 
(iv) return on average common equity excluding impairment charge, and 
(v) the ratio of non-interest 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. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP.

charges related to the Vision acquisition.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
Table 36 compares the total return performance for Park common shares with
the NYSE MKT Composite Index, the NASDAQ Bank Stocks Index and the SNL
Financial Bank and Thrift Index for the five-year period from December 31,
2007 to December 31, 2012. The NYSE MKT Composite Index is a market
 capitalization-weighted index of the stocks listed on NYSE MKT. 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 MKT 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.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
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, 2012, 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, 2012.

The Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, has audited the Corporation’s 
2012 and 2011 consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report and the Corporation’s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, 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, 2012 and 
2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. We also have audited Park National Corporation’s
 internal  control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, 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 disposi-
tions 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 expendi-
tures 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, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, 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, 2012, 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 (“GAAP”) 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”), fair value accounting 
and accounting for goodwill as significant estimates.

Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current
year presentation. Reclassifications had no effect on prior year net income or
shareholders’ equity.

Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks
The Corporation’s bank subsidiary is required to maintain average reserve
 balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average required reserve balance
was approximately $41.0 million at December 31, 2012 and $38.1 million at
December 31, 2011. No other compensating balance arrangements were in
existence at December 31, 2012.

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 comprehensive 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
 considered to be other-than-temporary are recorded as a charge to earnings 
in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Declines in debt securities that are
considered to be other-than-temporary are separated into (1) the amount of the
total impairment related to credit loss and (2) the amount of the total impair-
ment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary
impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount 
of the total impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other
 comprehensive income.

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

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

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Stock
Park’s subsidiary bank, The Park National Bank (PNB) is a member 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 stock and FRB stock are classified
as restricted securities and are carried at their redemption value within other
investment securities on the balance sheet. 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 $25.7 million and $11.5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively. These amounts are included in loans on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets and in the residential real estate loan segments in Notes 5 and 6. The
contractual balance was $25.2 million and $11.4 million at December 31, 
2012 and 2011, respectively. The gain expected upon sale was $568,000 and
$182,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. None of these loans
are 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 
2012 or 2011.

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 may be
recorded on a cash basis and be 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

55

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

that the borrower is troubled and there is, or likely will be, a collateral shortfall
related to the estimated value of the collateral securing the loan. The Company’s
charge-off policy for consumer loans is dependent on the class of the loan.
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,
the borrower has demonstrated the ability to pay 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 the 28 Ohio counties and one Kentucky county
where PNB operates. The primary industries represented by these customers
include manufacturing, retail trade, health care and other services.

Commercial real estate: Commercial real estate (“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. PNB and its divisions generally require that the CRE loan amount be
no more than 85% of the purchase price or the appraised value of the commer-
cial 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 PNB banking division making the loan may be required to advance funds
beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project. If
the estimate of value proves inaccurate, the subsidiary bank may be confronted,
at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value insufficient
to assure full repayment, should the borrower default. In the event a default on
a construction loan occurs and foreclosure follows, the subsidiary bank must
take control of the project and attempt either to arrange for completion of con-
struction 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

56

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 HELOCs 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 banking
division 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 banking division’s portfolio in
this lending category are adjustable rate, fully amortized mortgages or 15-year,
fixed rate 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 banking divisions. 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 
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
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 historical loss experience pertaining to pools of homogeneous loans, 
all of which may be susceptible to change. The allowance is increased through 
a provision for loan losses that is charged to earnings based on management’s
quarterly evaluation of the factors previously mentioned and is reduced by
charge-offs, net of recoveries.

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

In calculating the allowance for loan losses, management believes it is
 appropriate to utilize historical loss rates that are comparable to the current
period being analyzed, giving consideration to losses experienced over a full
cycle. For the historical loss factor at December 31, 2012, 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, 2011 and
2012 within the individual segments of the commercial and consumer loan
 categories. Management believes the 48-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 as of December 31, 2012
is based on the historical loss experience over the past 48 months, plus an
additional judgmental reserve, increasing the total allowance for loan loss

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

 coverage in the consumer portfolio to approximately 1.52 years of historical
loss. The loss coverage ratio was 1.38 years at December 31, 2011. The loss
factor applied to Park’s commercial portfolio as of December 31, 2012 is 
based on the historical loss experience over the past 48 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 increased the total allowance for loan loss coverage in the
commercial portfolio to approximately 2.59 years of historical loss. The loss
coverage ratio was 2.80 years at December 31, 2011. 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  com mercial loans graded special mention and substandard.

The judgmental increases discussed above incorporate management’s
 evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose
 additional risks and assign 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. GAAP require a specific allocation to be established as a component 
of the allowance for loan losses for certain loans when it is probable that 
all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loans will not be
 collected, and the recorded 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 accrued interest receivable,
both as of the end of the year. Impairment is measured using either the present
value of expected future cash flows based upon the initial effective interest rate
on the loan, the observable market price of the loan or the fair value of the
 collateral. If a loan is considered to be collateral dependent, the fair value 
of collateral, less estimated selling costs, is used to measure impairment.

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 are evaluated
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of a particular asset may not be recoverable.

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

Buildings
Equipment, furniture and fixtures
Leasehold improvements

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

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

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
OREO is recorded at fair value less anticipated selling costs (net realizable
value) and consists of property acquired through foreclosure and real estate
held for sale. If the net realizable value is below the carrying value of the loan 
at the date of transfer, the difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses.
Subsequent declines in the value of real estate are classified as OREO devalua-
tions, 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 valua-
tion 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 other 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 and is included within “other service income.” 

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 estimated
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
 property 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 amor-
tized 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 deposit and loan totals
of the Park segment and the economic conditions in the markets served by the
Park segment.

The following table reflects the activity in goodwill and other intangible assets
for the years 2012, 2011 and 2010.

U.S. 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 assessing 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 carry-
ing amount. If after assessing these events or circumstances, it is concluded that
it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its
carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary.
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 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, 2012, the
Company determined that goodwill for Park’s subsidiary bank, PNB, was not
impaired.

Goodwill and other intangible assets (as shown on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets) totaled $72.7 million at December 31, 2012, $74.8 million at
December 31, 2011 and $78.4 million at December 31, 2010.

The core deposit intangibles are being amortized to expense principally on 
the straight-line method, over a period of six years. The  amortization period 
for the core deposit intangibles related to Vision Bank was accelerated in the
4th quarter of 2011 and 1st quarter of 2012 due to the pending sale of the
Vision Bank business to Centennial Bank. (See Note 3 of these Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for details on the sale of the Vision Bank
business.) Core deposit intangible amortization expense was $2.2 million in
2012, $3.5 million in 2011 and $3.4 million in 2010.

The accumulated amortization of core deposit intangibles was $21.8 million as
of December 31, 2012 and $19.6 million at December 31, 2011. The expected
core deposit intangible amortization expense for each of the next five years is 
as follows:

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

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

Treasury Shares
The purchase of Park’s common shares is recorded at cost. At the date of
 retirement or subsequent reissuance, the treasury shares 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 shares 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 2012, 2011 or 2010. No stock options vested in 2012,
2011 or 2010. Park granted 6,120 common shares to its directors in 2012
and 7,020 in 2011 and 2010.

Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as
commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet
customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the
 exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay.
Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

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

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

Operating Segments
Prior to February 16, 2012, the operating segments for the Corporation were 
its two chartered bank subsidiaries, PNB (headquartered in Newark, Ohio) 
and Vision Bank (“Vision” or “VB”) (headquartered in Panama City, Florida).
On February 16, 2012, Vision sold certain assets and liabilities to Centennial
Bank (see Note 3 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Promptly following the closing of the transaction, Vision surrendered its 
Florida banking charter to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and
became a non-bank Florida corporation (the “Florida Corporation”). 
The Florida Corporation merged with and into a wholly-owned non-bank
 subsidiary of Park, SE Property Holdings, LLC (“SEPH”), with SEPH being the
surviving entity. The closing of this transaction prompted Park to add SEPH 
as a reportable segment. Additionally, due to the increased significance of 
the entity, Guardian Financial Services Company (“GFSC”) was added as 
a reportable segment in the first quarter of 2012.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
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 FASB’s 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 is 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 qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements. The new
guidance became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or 
after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the new guidance on January 1,
2012 impacted the fair value disclosures in Note 21.

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

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

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 became 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 impacted 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 became effective for
annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years begin-
ning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have an 
impact on the consolidated financial statements.

No. 2011-12 Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the
Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other
Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05:
In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-12,
Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of
Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). 
This ASU defers only those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the  pre -
sentation of reclassification adjustments. Entities are to continue to report
reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent
with the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. The other
requirements in ASU 2011-05 were not affected by this ASU. Further guidance
surrounding the reclassification of items out of accumulated other  compre -
hensive income was provided by FASB in ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts
Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

No. 2012-02 Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for
Impairment: In July 2012, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 
2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment
(ASU 2012-02). The ASU allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors 
to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicate that it 
is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The
new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for
fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance
is not expected to have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

No. 2013-02 Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income: In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The ASU
requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of
accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity
is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is
presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated
other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only
if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net
income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are
not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income,
an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under 
U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. The new guidance
is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2012. The adoption of this guidance is expected to impact financial statement
disclosures.

2. ORGANIZATION
Park National Corporation is a bank holding company headquartered 
in Newark, Ohio. Through its banking subsidiary, PNB, Park is engaged in 
a general commercial banking and trust business, primarily in Ohio. PNB
 operates through eleven banking divisions with the Park National Division
 headquartered in Newark, Ohio, the Fairfield National Division headquartered
in Lancaster, Ohio, The Park National Bank of Southwest Ohio & Northern
Kentucky Division headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, the First-Knox National
Division headquartered in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the Farmers and Savings
Division headquartered in Loudonville, Ohio, the Security National Division
headquartered in Springfield, Ohio, the Unity National Division headquartered
in Piqua, Ohio, the Richland Bank Division headquartered in Mansfield, Ohio,
the Century National Division headquartered in Zanesville, Ohio, the United
Bank Division headquartered in Bucyrus, Ohio and the Second National
Division headquartered in Greenville, Ohio. A wholly-owned subsidiary 
of Park, Guardian Financial Services Company (“GFSC”) began operating 
in May 1999. GFSC is a consumer finance company located in Central Ohio. 

Through February 16, 2012, Park operated a second banking subsidiary, Vision
Bank, which was engaged in a general commercial banking business, primarily
in Baldwin County, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida. VB operated through
two banking divisions with the Vision Bank Florida Division headquartered in
Panama City, Florida and the Vision Bank Alabama Division headquartered in
Gulf Shores, Alabama. Promptly following the sale of the Vision business to
Centennial, Vision surrendered its Florida banking charter to the Florida Office
of Financial Regulation and became a non-bank Florida corporation. The
Florida Corporation merged with and into a wholly-owned, non-bank subsidiary
of Park, SEPH, with SEPH being the surviving entity. SEPH holds the remaining
assets and liabilities retained by Vision subsequent to the sale. SEPH also holds
other real estate owned (“OREO”) that had previously been transferred to SEPH
from Vision. SEPH’s assets consist primarily of  performing and nonperforming
loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”). This segment represents a run off
portfolio of the legacy Vision assets.

All of the Ohio-based banking divisions provide the following principal services:
the acceptance of deposits for demand, savings and time accounts; commercial,
industrial, consumer and real estate lending, including installment loans, credit
cards, home equity lines of credit, commercial leasing; trust services; cash
management; safe deposit operations; electronic funds transfers and a variety of
additional banking-related services. VB, with its two banking divisions, 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 BUSINESS
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 to
Centennial Bank (“Centennial”), an Arkansas state-chartered bank which is 
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home BancShares, Inc. (“Home”), an Arkansas
corporation, as contemplated by the previously announced Purchase and
Assumption Agreement by and between Park, Vision, Home and Centennial,
dated as of November 16, 2011, as amended by the First Amendment to
Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated as of January 25, 2012, and 
the Second Amendment to Purchase and Assumption Agreement, dated as 
of April 30, 2012 (the “Agreement”) for a purchase price of $27.9 million.

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

As part of the transaction between Vision and Centennial, Park agreed to allow
Centennial to “put back” up to $7.5 million aggregate principal amount of
loans, which were originally included within the loans sold in the transaction.
The loan put option expired on August 16, 2012, 180 days after the closing 
of the transaction, which was February 16, 2012. Prior to August 16, 2012,
Centennial notified Park of its intent to put back approximately $7.5 million.
Through December 31, 2012, Centennial had put back forty-four loans, totaling
approximately $7.5 million. These forty-four loans were recorded on the books
at a fair value of $4.2 million. The difference of $3.3 million was written off
against the loan put liability that had previously been established in the first 
half of 2012.

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 2012, there were $54,000 in investment securities deemed to be 
other-than-temporarily impaired, related to an equity investment in a financial
institution. 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.

Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entity asset-backed securities consisted of
15-year mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations
(CMOs). At December 31, 2012, the amortized cost of Park’s available-for-
sale and held-to-maturity mortgage-backed securities was $277.8 million and
$0.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the amortized cost of Park’s
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity CMOs was $124.1 million and $400.7
million, respectively.

Other investment securities (as shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets)
consist of stock investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and the
Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”). These restricted stock investments are carried
at their redemption value. Park owned $59.0 million of FHLB stock and $6.9
million of FRB stock at December 31, 2012. Park owned $60.7 million of 
FHLB stock and $6.9 million of FRB stock at December 31, 2011.

Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 
31, 2012 or December 31, 2011, 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 amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments in debt securities at
December 31, 2012, are shown in the following table by contractual maturity or
the expected call date, except for asset-backed securities, which are shown as a
single total, due to the unpredictability of the timing in principal repayments.

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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $96.9 million and
$83.7 million, respectively, in partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated
for impairment with no related allowance recorded and $8.2 million and $20.1
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, 2012 and 2011, of 
$8.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively. These loans had a recorded
 investment as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 of $28.8 million and $52.7
million, respectively.

The average balance of loans individually evaluated for impairment was 
$164.2 million, $214.0 million, and $210.4 million for 2012, 2011, and 2010,
respectively.

Interest income on loans individually evaluated for impairment is recognized on
a cash basis. The following tables present the average recorded investment and
interest income recognized on loans individually evaluated for impairment for
the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Credit Quality Indicators
Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator 
across the loan portfolio. Past due information as of December 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011 is included in the tables above. The past due information 
is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classes of loans: 
(1) mortgage loans and installment loans in the construction real estate
segment; (2) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential
real estate segment; and (3) consumer loans. The primary credit indicator 
for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades all
commercial loans from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by 
the respective loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. 
A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered 
a loss. Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 4 (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  per -
centage 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 characterized by the distinct possibility that 
the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual 
and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a
partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful
have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the
added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full,
on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly question-
able and improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are included
within the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management
determines the borrower’s ability to perform in accordance with the contractual
loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is
 completely charged off.

The tables below present the recorded investment by loan grade at
December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 for all commercial loans:

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 the borrower’s debt in the foreseeable future without the modification.
This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy.
Management’s policy is to modify loans by extending the term or by granting a
temporary or permanent contractual interest rate below the market rate, not 
by forgiving debt. Certain loans which were modified during the period ended
December 31, 2012 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 bor-
rower 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 

65

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

to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note.
Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments 
continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.

At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were $84.7 million 
and $100.4 million, respectively, of TDRs included in nonaccrual loan totals. 
At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, $52.6 million and $79.9
million of these nonaccrual TDRs were performing in accordance with the
terms of the restructured note. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31,
2011, there were $29.9 million and $28.7 million, respectively, of TDRs
included in accruing loan totals. Management will continue to review the
restructured loans and may determine it appropriate to move certain  non -
accrual TDRs to accrual status in the future. At December 31, 2012 and
December 31, 2011, Park had commitments to lend $5.0 million and 
$4.0 million, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers whose terms 
had been modified in a TDR.

The specific reserve related to TDRs at December 31, 2012 and December 31,
2011 was $5.6 million and $9.1 million respectively. Modifications made in
2011 and 2012 were largely the result of renewals, extending the maturity date
of the loan, at terms consistent with the original note. These modifications were
deemed to be TDRs primarily due to Park’s conclusion that the borrower would
likely not have qualified for similar terms through another lender. Many of the
modifications deemed to be TDRs were previously identified as impaired 
loans, and thus were also previously evaluated for impairment under ASC 310.
Additional specific reserves of $2.3 million were recorded during the twelve
month period ending December 31, 2012, as a result of TDRs identified in 
the 2012 year.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the year ended
December 31, 2012 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. Modified
 substandard commercial loans which did not meet the definition of a TDR 
had a total recorded investment as of December 31, 2012 of $800,000. The
modification of these loans: (1) involved a modification of the terms of a loan
to a borrower who was not experiencing financial  difficulties, (2) resulted in 
a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant, or (3) resulted in
Park obtaining additional collateral or  guarantees that improved the likelihood
of the ultimate collection of the loan such that the modification was deemed to
be at market terms. Modified consumer loans which did not meet the definition
of a TDR had a total recorded investment as of December 31, 2012 of $26.5
million. Many of these loans were to borrowers who were not experiencing
financial  difficulties but who were looking to reduce their cost of funds.

The following tables detail the number of contracts modified as TDRs during 
the period ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 as well as the
recorded investment of these contracts at December 31, 2012 and December
31, 2011. The recorded investment pre- and post-modification is generally 
the same.

During 2012, as a result of general guidance issued by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), $12.5 million of consumer loans
(includes mortgage, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate
segment and those loans in the consumer loan segment) were identified as
troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) whereby the borrower’s obligation to
PNB has been discharged in bankruptcy and the borrower has not reaffirmed
the debt. These newly identified TDRs are included in the current year modified
loan totals above, within the residential real estate and consumer segments,
although certain of these modifications occurred prior to January 1, 2012.

Of those loans listed in the tables above which were modified during the twelve
month period ended December 31, 2012, $6.5 million were on nonaccrual
status as of December 31, 2011 but were not classified as TDRs. Of those loans
which were modified during the twelve month period ended December 31,
2011, $29.9 million were on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2010 
but were not classified as TDRs.

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, 2012 and 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.

Of the $8.9 million in modified TDRs which defaulted during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2012, $606,000 were accruing loans and $8.3 million
were nonaccrual loans. Of the $32.5 million in modified TDRs which defaulted
during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, $3.5 million were
 accruing loans and $29.0 million were nonaccrual loans.

$4.4 million was related to Vision Bank’s executive officers, directors and
related entities and is not included in the December 31, 2012 total. During
2012, $4.4 million of new loans were made to these executive officers and
directors and repayments totaled $13.6 million. New loans and repayments 
for 2011 were $4.9 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

Management transfers a loan to other real estate owned at the time that Park
takes constructive ownership of the asset. At December 31, 2012 and 2011,
Park had $35.7 million and $42.3 million, respectively, of other real estate
owned.

Certain of the Corporation’s executive officers, directors and related entities 
of directors are loan customers of PNB or were loan customers of Vision 
Bank in 2011. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, loans and lines of credit
aggregating approximately $39.4 million and $53.0 million, respectively, were
outstanding to such parties. Of the amount outstanding at December 31, 2011,

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 man-
agement’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 opera-
tions 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 years ended December 31, 2012, December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010 is summarized in the

(1) Transfer of allowance to held for sale was allocated on a pro-rata basis based on the outstanding balance of the loans held for sale. 

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all
performing loans at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as well as
nonperforming loans internally classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming
consumer loans are not typically individually evaluated for impairment, but
receive a portion of the statistical allocation of the allowance for loan losses.
Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all impaired loans inter-
nally classified as commercial loans at December 31, 2012 and 2011, which
are evaluated for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see Note 1 of 
these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

On November 30, 2012, Park restructured $300 million in repurchase
 agreements at a rate of 1.75%. As part of this restructure, Park paid a prepay-
ment penalty of $25 million. The penalty is being amortized as an adjustment 
to interest expense over the remaining term of the repurchase agreements using
the effective interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.4%. Of
the $25 million prepayment penalty, $24.6 million remained to be amortized 
as of December 31, 2012. The remaining amortization will be $4.8 million 
in 2013, $4.9 million in 2014, $5.0 million in 2015, $5.1 million in 2016 
and $4.8 million in 2017.

Other borrowings as of December 31, 2011 consisted 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 was assumed by Centennial Bank in connection
with their acquisition of Vision’s branches on February 16, 2012.

Park had approximately $252.3 million of long-term debt at December 31,
2012 with a contractual maturity longer than five years. However, approximately
$250 million of this debt is callable by the issuer in 2013.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, FHLB advances were collateralized by
 investment securities owned by the Corporation’s banking divisions and 
by various loans pledged under a blanket agreement by the Corporation’s
 banking divisions.

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

On December 28, 2007, 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 0.31% 
at December 31, 2012. On January 2, 2008, Park entered into an interest 
rate swap transaction, which was designated as a cash flow hedge against the
variability of cash flows related to the Subordinated Debenture of $25 million
(see Note 19 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). This
Subordinated Debenture was prepaid in full on December 31, 2012.

On December 23, 2009, Park entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated
December 23, 2009, with 38 purchasers (the “2009 Purchasers”). Under the
terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, the 2009 Purchasers purchased from
Park an aggregate principal amount of $35.25 million of 10% Subordinated
Notes due December 23, 2019 (the “2009 Notes”). The 2009 Notes are
intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under applicable rules and regulations 
of the Federal Reserve Board. The 2009 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 outstand-
ing. Of the $35.25 million in 2009 Notes, $14.05 million were purchased by
related parties.

On April 20, 2012, Park entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated
April 20, 2012 (the “2012 Purchase Agreement”), with 56 purchasers (the 
“2012 Purchasers”). Under the terms of the 2012 Purchase Agreement, the
2012 Purchasers purchased from Park an aggregate principal amount of $30
million of 7% Subordinated Notes Due April 20, 2022 (the “2012 Notes”). The
2012 Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 Capital under applicable rules and
 regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. Each 2012 Note was purchased at 

70

a purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The 2012 Notes may
not be prepaid by Park prior to April 20, 2017. From and after April 20, 2017,
Park may prepay all, or from time to time, any part of the 2012 Notes at 100%
of the principal amount (plus accrued interest) without penalty, subject to any
requirement under Federal Reserve Board regulations to obtain prior approval
from the Federal Reserve Board before making any prepayment.

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, 2012,
1,500,000 common shares were available for future grants under the 2005
Plan. Under the terms of the 2005 Plan, incentive stock options may be granted
at a price not less than the fair market value at the date of the grant, and for an
option term of up to five years. No additional incentive stock options may be
granted under the 2005 Plan after January 17, 2015.

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

The activity in the 2005 Plan is listed in the following table for 2012:

There were no options granted or exercised in 2012, 2011 or 2010.
Additionally, no expense was recognized for 2012, 2011 or 2010.

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. 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
will be deductible on the 2012 tax return. In January 2013, management con-
tributed $12.6 million, of which $11.0 million will be deductible on the 2012
tax return and $1.6 million will be deductible on the 2013 tax return. The
entire $11.0 million deductible on the 2012 tax return is reflected as part 
of the deferred taxes at December 31, 2012. See Note 14 of these Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements. Park does not expect to make any
 additional contributions to the Pension Plan in 2013.

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 7.5% in 2012 and
7.75% in 2011. 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 $85.1 million 
and $71.4 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of the 115,800 common 
shares held by the Pension Plan was $7.5 million, or $64.63 per share and 
$7.5 million, or $65.06 per share, respectively.

The estimated prior service costs for the Pension Plan that will be amortized
from accumulated other comprehensive loss 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 $(2.7) million.

The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost
for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are listed below:

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

2012

5.18%

7.75%

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 the performance of the S&P 500 Index over 
the most recent 10 years, 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 $1.3 million at December 31, 2012.

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received by Park for an asset
or paid by Park to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date, using the most  advan -
tageous market for the asset or liability. The fair values of equity securities,
consisting of mutual fund investments and common stock (U.S. large cap) 
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, 2012 was $117.8 million. At December 31, 2012, $98.8 
million of equity investments and cash in the Pension Plan were categorized 
as Level 1 inputs; $18.9 million of plan investments in corporate (U.S. large
cap) and U.S. Government sponsored entity bonds were  categorized as Level 
2 inputs, as fair value is based on quoted market prices of comparable instru-
ments; and no investments were categorized as Level 3 inputs. The market 
value of Pension Plan assets was $96.6 million at December 31, 2011. At
December 31, 2011, $83.2 million of investments in the Pension Plan were
 categorized as Level 1 inputs; $13.4 million were  categorized as Level 2; and 
no investments were categorized as Level 3.

The Corporation has a voluntary salary deferral plan covering substantially all 
of the employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Eligible employees
may contribute a portion of their compensation subject to a maximum statutory
limitation. The Corporation provides a matching contribution established
 annually by the Corporation. Contribution expense for the Corporation was 
$1.0 million, $1.1 million, and $1.0 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010,
 respectively.

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. The
accrued benefit cost for the SERP totaled $7.4 million and $7.2 million for 
2012 and 2011, respectively. The expense for the Corporation was $0.3 
million for 2012, $0.6 million for 2011 and $0.5 million for 2010.

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. Prior to the sale 
of substantially all of its assets in February 2012, Vision was subject to income
tax in Alabama and Florida. During 2011, Park recognized $6.1 million in state
tax expense which was the charge necessary to write off the previously reported
state operating loss carry-forward asset and other state deferred tax assets at
Vision. Prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement with Centennial, man-
agement 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 carry-forward asset recorded at Vision. The struc-
ture of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement did not allow
either the buyer or the seller to benefit from the previously recorded net operat-
ing loss carry-forward asset at Vision to offset future taxable income; therefore,
this asset was written off by Vision at December 31, 2011.

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.

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 did not record state income
tax expense (benefit) in 2012.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably
affect the effective income tax rate in the future periods at December 31, 2012,
2011 and 2010 was $404,000, $378,000 and $370,000, 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, 2012,
2011 and 2010 was $4,500, $2,500 and $(10,500), respectively. The amount
accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010

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 2008 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.

As of December 31, 2011, options to purchase 74,020 common shares were
outstanding under Park’s 2005 Plan. All options had expired as of December
31, 2012. A warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was outstanding 
at December 31, 2011 as a result of Park’s participation in the U.S. Treasury
Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). Park repurchased the CPP warrant on 
May 2, 2012. 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 shares and warrants to purchase common shares on
December 10, 2010 (the “December 2010 Warrants”). The December 2010
Warrants expired in 2011, with no warrants being exercised, but have been
considered in the 2011 diluted earnings per share calculation.

The common shares represented by the options and the December 2010
Warrants for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, totaling 
a weighted average of 63,308 and 126,292, 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 included in 
the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the year ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, as the dilutive effect of this warrant was 1,063
and 1,291 common shares for the twelve month periods ended December 31,
2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The exercise price of the CPP
warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was $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, 2012,
approximately $27.9 million of the total shareholders’ equity of PNB was avail-
able for the payment of dividends to the Corporation, without approval by the
applicable regulatory authorities.

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.

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.

73

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 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:

December 31 (In thousands)

Loan commitments

Standby letters of credit

2012

$815,585

22,961

2011

$809,140

18,772

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. The Corporation evaluates each cus-
tomer’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 con-
sidered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability
in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are
considered cash flow hedges.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes
in the fair value of the 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 was to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure 
to interest rate risk. Our interest rate swap involved 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 was designated as 
a cash flow hedge. This interest rate swap matured on December 28, 2012.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the interest rate swap’s fair value of $0
million and $(0.8) million, respectively, was included in other liabilities. 
No hedge ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedge was recognized during 
the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, 2011 or 2010.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the change in 
the fair value of the interest rate swap reported in other comprehensive income
was a gain of $550,000 (net of taxes of $296,000) and a gain of $512,000 
(net of taxes of $276,000), respectively. There was a zero balance related 
to the interest rate swap in accumulated other comprehensive income as 
of December 31, 2012.

74

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Park had mortgage loan
interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) outstanding of approximately $28.9
million and $17.2 million, respectively. Park has specific contracts to sell each
of these loans to a third-party investor. These loan commitments represent
derivative instruments, which are required to be carried at fair value. The
 derivative instruments used are not designed as hedges under GAAP. The 
fair value of the derivative instruments was approximately $372,000 at
December 31, 2012 and $251,000 at December 31, 2011. The fair value 
of the derivative instruments is included within loans held for sale and the
 corresponding income is included within non-yield loan fee income. Gains 
and losses resulting from expected sales of mortgage loans are recognized
when the respective loan contract is entered into between the borrower, Park,
and the third-party investor. The fair value of Park’s mortgage 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, 2012 and December 
31, 2011, the fair value of the swap liability of $135,000 and $700,000, respec-
tively, is an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential
Visa litigation losses.

20. LOAN SERVICING
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1,313 million at December 31, 2012
compared to $1,349 million at December 31, 2011, and $1,471 million at
December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2012, $16 million of the sold mortgage
loans were sold with recourse compared to $25 million at December 31, 2011.
Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans 
sold with recourse. As of December 31, 2012, management had established 
a $550,000 reserve to account for future loan repurchases.

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.

ranging from 6% to 25%.

Servicing fees included in other service income were $3.6 million, $3.9 million
and $4.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and
2010, respectively.

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:
(cid:0) 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.

(cid:0) 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.

(cid:0) 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.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2012 or 2011.
Management’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to 
another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there
are more or fewer unobservable inputs as of the end of the reporting period.

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.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
 determining the fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value 
on a nonrecurring basis described below:

Impaired loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at 
the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value have been
partially charged off or receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan
losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is generally based on real
estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach 
or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income
approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the inde-
pendent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and
income data available. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the
inputs for determining fair value. Collateral is then adjusted or discounted
based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions
from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of
the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification.
Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment
and adjusted accordingly. Additionally, updated valuations are obtained annually
for all impaired loans in accordance with Company policy.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): Assets acquired through or in lieu 
of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when
acquired. The carrying value of OREO is not re-measured to fair value on a
recurring basis, but is subject to fair value adjustments when the carrying value
exceeds the fair value, less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based on recent
real estate appraisals and is updated at least annually. These appraisals may
utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including
the comparable sales approach and the income approach. Adjustments are
 routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust
for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such
adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair
value.

Appraisals for both collateral dependent impaired loans and other real 
estate owned are performed by licensed appraisers. Appraisals are generally
obtained to support the fair value of collateral. In general, there are two types 
of appraisals, real estate appraisals and lot development loan appraisals,
received by the Company. These are discussed below:

76

(cid:0) Real estate appraisals typically incorporate measures such as recent 

sales prices for comparable properties. Appraisers may make adjustments
to the sales prices of the comparable properties as deemed appropriate
based on the age, condition or general characteristics of the subject
 property. Management generally applies a 15% discount to real estate
appraised values which management expects will cover all disposition
costs (including selling costs). This 15% discount is based on historical
discounts to appraised values on sold OREO properties.

(cid:0) Lot development loan appraisals are typically performed using a

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

MSRs: MSRs are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. MSRs do not trade in
active, open markets with readily observable prices. For example, sales of MSRs
do occur, but precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available. 
As such, management, with the assistance of a third-party specialist, determines
fair value based on the discounted value of the future cash flows estimated to be
received. Significant inputs include the discount rate and assumed prepayment
speeds utilized. The calculated fair value is then compared to market values
where possible to ascertain the reasonableness of the valuation in relation 
to current market expectations for similar products. Accordingly, MSRs are
classified as Level 2.

a nonrecurring basis:

Impaired loans had a book value of $137.2 million at December 31, 2012 
after partial charge-offs of $105.1 million. Additionally, these impaired loans
had a specific valuation allowance of $8.3 million. Of the $137.2 million
impaired loan portfolio, loans with a book value of $59.0 million were carried
at their fair value of $53.9 million, as a result of charge-offs of $91.6 million
and a specific valuation allowance of $5.1 million. The remaining $78.2 million
of impaired loans were carried at cost, as the fair value of the underlying  col -
lateral or present value of expected future cash flows on each of these loans
exceeded the book value for each individual credit. At December 31, 2011,
impaired loans had a book value of $187.1 million, after partial charge-offs 
of $103.8 million. Additionally, these impaired loans had a specific valuation
allowance of $15.9 million. Of these, loans with a book value of $78.0 million
were carried at their fair value of $67.9 million as a result of partial charge-offs
of $97.6 million and a specific valuation allowance for those loans carried at
fair value of $10.1 million. The remaining $109.1 million of impaired loans at
December 31, 2011 were carried at cost. The financial impact of credit adjust-
ments related to impaired loans carried at fair value during the twelve months
ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $16.0 million, $37.4 million
and $59.2 million, respectively. 

MSRs, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, were recorded at
$7.8 million at December 31, 2012. Of the $7.8 million MSR carrying balance
at December 31, 2012, $6.6 million was recorded at fair value and included a
valuation allowance of $2.3 million. The remaining $1.2 million was recorded
at cost, as the fair value exceeded cost at December 31, 2012. At December 31,
2011, MSRs were recorded at $9.3 million, including a valuation allowance 
of $1.0 million. Expense related to MSRs carried at fair value for the years
ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $1.3 million, $273,000 and
$174,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the estimated fair value 
of OREO, less estimated selling costs, amounted to $19.9 million and $23.7
million, respectively. The financial impact of OREO fair value adjustments 
for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $6.9 million, 
$8.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in
 estimating its fair value disclosures for assets and liabilities not discussed above:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate
those assets’ fair values.

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 are not material.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g.,
 interest and non-interest checking, savings, and money market accounts) 
are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date
(i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts for variable-rate, fixed-
term certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date.
Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted
cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on
 certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of time
deposits.

Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased,
borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings
approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt: Fair values for long-term debt are estimated using a
 discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being
offered on long-term debt to a schedule of monthly maturities.

Subordinated debentures and notes: Fair values for subordinated
 debentures and notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation
that applies interest rate spreads currently being offered on similar debt
 structures to a schedule of monthly maturities.

22. CAPITAL RATIOS
Prior to February 16, 2012, the Corporation operated two chartered bank
 subsidiaries, PNB and Vision. On February 16, 2012, Vision sold certain assets
and liabilities to Centennial Bank. Following the sale, Vision surrendered its
Florida banking charter to the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (See Note 
3 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). At December 31, 2012
and 2011, the Corporation and each of its then 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, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Failure to meet the minimum requirements above could cause the Federal
Reserve Board to take action. Each of Park’s bank subsidiaries is also subject 
to the capital requirements of their primary regulators. As of December 31,
2012 and 2011, Park and its then banking subsidiaries were well-capitalized
and met all capital requirements to which each was then subject. There are 
no conditions or events since PNB’s most recent regulatory report filings that
management believes have changed the risk categories for PNB.

23. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Corporation is a bank holding company headquartered in Newark, 
Ohio. Prior to February 16, 2012, the operating segments for the Corporation
were its two chartered bank subsidiaries, PNB (headquartered in Newark,
Ohio) and Vision (headquartered in Panama City, Florida). On February 16,
2012, Vision sold certain assets and liabilities to Centennial Bank (See Note 3 
of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Promptly following the
closing of the transaction, Vision surrendered its Florida banking charter to the
Florida Office of Financial Regulation and became a non-bank Florida corpora-
tion. The Florida Corporation merged with and into a wholly-owned non-bank
subsidiary of Park, SEPH, with SEPH being the surviving entity. The closing 
of this transaction prompted Park to add SEPH as a reportable segment.
Additionally, due to the increased significance of the entity, GFSC was 
added as a reportable segment in the first quarter of 2012. 

GAAP requires management to disclose information about the different types 
of business activities in which a company engages and also information on the
different economic environments in which a company operates, so that the
users of the financial statements can better understand a company’s perform-
ance, better understand the potential for future cash flows, and make more
informed judgments about the company as a whole. Park’s current operating
 segments are in line with GAAP as there are: (i) three 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 non-interest bearing deposits with a bank subsidiary.

Net cash provided by operating activities reflects cash payments (received 
from subsidiaries) for income taxes of $4.54 million, $4.21 million and 
$5.97 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, shareholders’ equity reflected in the 
Parent Company balance sheet includes $173.1 million and $146.6 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 Fixed-Rate Cumulative
Perpetual Preferred Shares, Series A, with a liquidation preference of $1,000
per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The Series A Preferred Shares
 constituted Tier 1 capital and ranked senior to Park’s common shares. The
Series A Preferred Shares were to pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% 
per annum through February 14, 2014 and reset to a rate of 9% per annum
thereafter. For the period ended December 31, 2012, Park recognized a charge
to retained earnings of $3.4 million representing the preferred share dividend
and accretion of the discount on the preferred shares, associated with Park’s
participation in the CPP.

As part of its participation in the CPP, Park also issued a warrant to the 
U.S. Treasury to purchase 227,376 common shares (the “Warrant”), which 
was equal to 15% of the aggregate amount of the Series A 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 U.S. Department of
the Treasury (calculated on a 20-day trailing average). The Warrant had a term
of 10 years.

As a participant in the CPP, the Company was required to adopt certain
 standards for compensation and corporate governance, established under 
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “ARRA”), 
which amended and replaced the executive compensation provisions of 
the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) in their entirety,
and the Interim Final Rule promulgated by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury
under 31 C.F.R. Part 30. In addition, Park’s ability to declare or pay dividends
on or repurchase its common shares was partially restricted until December
23, 2011 as a result of its participation in the CPP. 

On April 25, 2012, Park entered into a Letter Agreement with the U.S. Treasury
pursuant to which Park repurchased the 100,000 Series A Preferred Shares for
a purchase price of $100 million plus a pro rata accrued and unpaid dividend.
Total consideration of $101.0 million included accrued and unpaid dividends 
of $1.0 million. In addition to the accrued and unpaid dividends of $1.0
million, the charge to retained earnings, resulting from the repurchase of 
the Series A Preferred Shares, was $1.6 million on April 25, 2012.

On May 2, 2012, Park entered into a Letter Agreement pursuant to which 
Park repurchased from the U.S. Treasury the Warrant to purchase 227,376 
Park common shares in full for consideration of $2.8 million, or $12.50 
per Park common share.
