Often annual report letters begin with a collection of words
designed to divert the reader’s attention away from the most 
critical question any shareholder has: “How did my company 
do last year?” We’ve tried to avoid this detour in earlier letters 
and will not take it this year either.

How did we do?
We like numbers. We have an extended list that we track, but our
favorites are in the table below.

Favorite Number

Net Income (000’s)

Return on Equity (ROE)

Return on Assets (ROA)

Net Interest Margin (NIM)

Efficiency Ratio

2012

57.07%

Our Annual Report details other numbers which contribute to
those above. A determined reader can immerse themselves in 
these pools of data, and we encourage you to do so. If you want to
deepen your knowledge and impress your friends at parties, google
DuPont Model and you can learn how to deconstruct ROE into
ROA, leverage ratio, etc. It’s illuminating and can be done for 
any company. But if you want the Twitter length summary of 
our company’s performance, the numbers above tell the story.

We like to see the first four numbers increase every year. And 
the first three numbers—Net Income, ROE and ROA—have
increased over the past three years. NIM (larger number is better)
has decreased and the Efficiency Ratio (smaller number is better)
has increased. We talk below about how the numbers were
produced.

How did we do what we did?
We have three main operating segments in Park National
Corporation (Park): Park National Bank (PNB), Guardian Finance
(GFSC) and SE Property Holdings, LLC (SEPH). To understand how
we generated our favorite numbers above, let’s review how these
segments have performed over the past three years:

PNB supplies the most horsepower to our Park engine. Details on
how PNB, GFSC and the Parent Company produced the numbers
above are in our Annual Report. We want to highlight SEPH here,
for the reader can see that it turned a $12.2 million net loss in
2012 to $4.9 million in net income in 2014. SEPH is the entity 
that holds legacy assets following the sale of Vision Bank in 2012.
SEPH’s mission has been to maximize the value of these assets,
balancing urgency, persistence and resolve. The SEPH team—
Brett Baumeister, Bryan Campolo, Jennifer Corbitt, and Frank
Wagner—has done a marvelous job. The decline in Non-
Performing Assets (NPAs) described below is due in large 
measure to their fine work.

The smaller NPA number, the better. NPAs decline one of two
ways—they are charged off (not so good), or they are recovered
and turned into performing assets (our preferred method). 
Here’s what happened to our NPAs over the past five years:

$190,276

$224,024

$269,474

$334,567

Improvements of this magnitude don’t just happen. They are 
logical outcomes derived from sustained effort, persistence and 
an unrelenting focus on maximizing the value of these troubled
situations. We applaud all those who contributed to this
remarkable effort.

What are we doing to thrive in 2015 and beyond?
If you’ve read anything about banking in the last several years, 
you will be familiar with the following:
(cid:0) Regulatory/compliance burdens
(cid:0) Shrinking margins
(cid:0) Irrational competition
(cid:0) Cyber attacks
(cid:0) Teenage music

Perhaps the last one is a bit over the top...but assemble 
bankers (or those who advise them) in a room, and you’re 
likely to hear about one or more of these topics. Obstacles,
headwinds, potholes...all seemingly conspiring to end our 
way of life as we know it.

Focusing on this stuff reminds us of learning to snow ski through
tree-filled glades. When you start, you focus on the trees. Oddly
enough, you hit a lot of trees. This goes on until you’re too sore 
to continue or you figure out if you focus on the open spaces
between the trees, that’s where you will ski.

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

Focusing on all of our industry’s usual speed-bumps and the new 
ones that emerge annually drains our energy and isn’t much fun. 
It also guarantees we won’t focus on the open spaces of our 
world—specifically, serving our customers and communities.

Here’s a list of the things that will help us focus on open spaces 
this year:

Best and brightest: We have many associates who have worked
nowhere else. They could, as these dedicated women and men
operate at the top of their game and are in high demand. We also
have added new talent and we are humbled that they chose to join
us. They tell us they come here because they like our overwhelming
focus on what’s best for the customer. They say they want to serve
customers, not flog them with the product of the month. Whether
you speak to a seasoned veteran, or a new colleague, you will find
us interested in you first...and then your financial affairs.

Technology: In the past five years, we have invested $25 million 
to improve our technological infrastructure and meet customers
wherever they choose to connect with us...over the teller counter,
online or via mobile phone or tablet. We will continue to invest in
technology this year. Excellent technology, coupled with competent,
compassionate bankers, produces happy customers.

Process Improvement: We abhor waste of any kind. If we can 
do something with fewer steps, fewer clicks, fewer calls, we’re 
all for it. We have informally conducted process improvement for
years. We are now addressing the topic more systematically, adding
associates with specific expertise in process improvement to help
us operate as efficiently as possible. We expect simpler, more
scalable processes that will free us to serve our customers better.

Strategic Plan: Last fall, your Board of Directors approved a new
Strategic Plan. Here’s how we introduced it to our associates:

To Our Park colleagues...
In 1989, we crafted our first strategic plan. In it we articulated 
a mission and identified principles that we believed were
foundation pieces of a vibrant, successful organization...
then, and for years to come.

What you have before you is our 2014 Strategic Plan. It
reasserts our core mission, amplifies our principles and
defines our operating model and key strategies. While it is 
rich with timeless ideals, it is also a practical document, one 
to which we can and should turn for guidance in completing
our daily tasks.

We hope this Strategic Plan will fuel our long conversation
about how to achieve and maintain excellence in all we do. 
As the Plan states, at some point the conversation ends. Then
we must act to the best of our abilities and see where our
efforts take us. Then we will reassess, reflect and act again.
Repeating this pattern should yield the fine results we seek.

We know the goal—excellence, in service and
execution...and we have great faith that you will help 
us get there.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not 
an act, but a habit.  –Aristotle

Two things to point out: One, the only word that is emphasized 
(by underline) is “act”. Plans without action are merely wishes. 
We will act. Two, we are not above channeling Aristotle or any
other philosophers when their advice is timeless. The quest for
excellence is timeless too. 

Mergers/Acquisitions (M&A): Our first affiliate outside Licking
County joined us in 1985. Since then, we added nine banks in Ohio
and two specialty finance groups to our Park family. We told them
that if they joined us, they would find new colleagues dedicated to
the same core principles of excellence which guided them, a wider
array of products/services, and deeper pockets that allow them to
lend more to their top customers, give more to their communities
and invest in the technology required to keep pace in today’s
accelerating world. All would report that we did not disappoint. 
We look forward to finding new partners who wish the same.

Who are we going to miss and why?

Effective with the Annual Meeting of
shareholders in April 2014, Rev. Dr. 
Charles W. Noble, Sr. and John J. “Jack”
O’Neill completed their service as directors
of both Park and PNB. Rev. Noble served as
director of PNB for over 26 years and joined
the Park board in 2013. Mr. O’Neill served
the PNB board for over 50 years and was 
a charter member of the Park board when
Park was formed in 1987. Through our most
challenging times, Rev. Noble’s profound 
faith and Mr. O’Neill’s unwavering support
were great balms to management.

Effective directors advise, challenge 
and counsel management. Here, they also
supply community leadership. On all levels, 
Charles Noble, Sr. and Jack O’Neill were
among the best.

Sadly, Mr. O’Neill passed away on November 16, 2014. Jack 
was an icon in our Licking County community, in the industrial
development business in Ohio and nationally, and a vital supporter
of our community. A friend of many, he left an extraordinary legacy
in his children and their families, as well as the company he
founded—Southgate Corporation. He is missed.

Bill has been with Park more than 55 years. He joined PNB fresh
out of graduate school in 1960. Everett D. Reese and John W. Alford
singled Bill out as their best hire of all time, and his career is a
testament to their belief. Bill successfully led our state and national
bank trade associations, countless community organizations, and
served as Park’s chief executive officer for 17 years.

Another wave of sad news came when, 
on December 1, 2014, Harry Egger passed
forward (Harry’s minister provided an
eloquent message during the celebration of
life services for Harry, and is particularly fond
of the concept of passing “forward” rather
than “away”), after a courageous but
unsuccessful battle with cancer.

Harry Egger

Harry built a superb bank headquartered in Springfield, Ohio 
that joined the Park organization in 2001. We spent nearly 15 years
together, during which he served as vice chair of Park’s board of
directors in addition to maintaining his role as chairman of our
Security National Bank Division. 

Harry was a key mentor for us. He coupled keen intellect with
childlike curiosity to great effect. His observations on credit,
strategy, acquisitions and investments illuminated pitfalls others
missed and enhanced every internal debate we held. He was
deliberate, thoughtful and nearly always seemed to ask one or 
two questions that others had not considered when trying to 
make the best decision. We miss his wise counsel, diplomatic
candor and friendship.

Harry had a long and distinguished career as a banker in
Springfield, and those of us fortunate enough to have been able 
to work with him and know him, continue to feel the void created
by his loss. A true professional and dedicated friend, when Dan
DeLawder and Bill Fralick visited with Harry two weeks prior to 
his death, Harry asked, as always, “Anything I can do to help you?”
He was simply extraordinary. We wish his wife Linda and family 
the very best.

In January your board of directors appointed James R. DeRoberts 
to fill Mr. Egger’s unexpired term. Mr. DeRoberts was appointed to 
the PNB board as well. He is a partner in the firm of Gardiner Allen
DeRoberts Insurance and brings to Park extensive knowledge of
community banking in Ohio as well as the insurance industry. 
We welcome Jim as our newest director.

William T. McConnell
Our predecessor, Bill McConnell, informed our board that he does 
not wish to stand for re-election upon the expiration of his term at 
this year’s Annual Meeting. The board regretfully accepted his letter 
of resignation which reflects his retirement effective April 27, 2015.

Dan on Bill:
Bill’s leadership crafted the model that has come to be known as 
Park National. He led our first effort to cause a bank from outside 
of Licking County to join us, a unique approach in Ohio that today
includes a collection of 11 community banking divisions operating
under the umbrella we call PNB.

Bill assures us he will continue to support us in all ways 
possible, and we’ll hold him to it. He taught us countless 
lessons and while we’ve never measured up to his level, we 
have been the beneficiaries of his wisdom and enthusiasm for
community banking. It has been an honor and privilege for both 
of us to be so positively influenced by him and most important, to
be counted as friends of Bill McConnell. We wish Bill the very best.

David on Bill:
Bill McConnell offered me a job when no one else would. 
“We hope everyone else was wrong,” he said, with what I came 
to know as that impish twinkle in his eye that signaled he was
pulling my leg.

Bill was effortlessly brilliant. He was equally comfortable 
discussing asset/liability management, parenting, OSU football,
DuPont analyses or his favorite author, P.G. Wodehouse. Bill was
genuinely interested in all things and all people around him and
was a champion of diversity in leadership. There is not enough
space to describe how he influenced me, much less all those 
he’s touched in this organization and this community.

Unmatched, unparalleled, unequaled...Bill McConnell.

Things we think about
Throughout history, pundits have claimed that economic cycles are
dead. Whatever conditions are at the time...pre-depression, post-
depression, post-war, go-go years, etc., someone suggests that the
then-current conditions will persist. Today’s version comes in the 
form of the “new normal”. That is, new normal devotees suggest 
that interest rates will remain persistently low, the economy will 
tread water rather than leap forward and the governmental grid 
will remain locked. We think about this and remember that the 
first lesson of history is that few learn from history. At some point,
interest rates will increase, the economy will flourish again and
elected government officials will figure out they serve at the
pleasure of voters whose patience extends only so far. In short,
cycles are undefeated, but their duration and amplitude are rarely
predicted accurately.

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

We know about cycles. One benefit of having many colleagues with
decades of tenure is that we don’t have to explain cycles to each
other—we’ve lived and worked through several doozies. We have
found that combining top-notch employees with strong earnings
and strong capital insulates us during each cycle’s depths and
elevates us during peaks. You can see from the stock performance
graph below what the market thought of us through a cycle or two.

Whatever the environment, we like our chances.

Final Words
If you are currently a customer, we thank you and are grateful for 
your business. Please tell/text/tweet 10 of your good friends about
how much better their lives would be if they followed your example 
in choosing a bank. If you are not a customer, we ask that you
consider us an alternative to your current arrangements. You will 
find what our customers enjoy—eager, competent bankers who 
are devoted to serving their customers and their communities like 
no other.

Management’s discussion and analysis addresses the financial condition and
results of operations for Park National Corporation and our subsidiaries
(unless the context otherwise requires, collectively, “Park” or the “Corp -
oration”). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the  consolidated
financial statements and related notes and the five-year summary of selected
financial data. Management’s discussion and analysis contains forward-looking
statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future
financial performance. Forward-looking statements provide current  expec -
tations or  forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future
 per formance. 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 our business plan successfully and within the expected timeframe;
general economic and financial market conditions, and the uneven spread of
positive impacts of the recovery on the economy, specifically in the real estate
markets and the credit markets, either nationally or in the states in which Park
and our subsidiaries do business, may be worse or slower than expected which
could adversely impact the demand for loan, deposit and other financial serv-
ices as well as 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; changes in customers’, suppliers’ and other
 counterparties’ performance and creditworthiness; 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 could increase significantly, including product and
pricing pressures, changes to third-party relationships and our ability to attract,
develop and retain qualified bank professionals; clients could pursue alterna-
tives to bank deposits, causing us to lose a relatively inexpensive source of
funding; the nature, timing and effect of changes in banking regulations or
other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the respective businesses
of Park and our subsidiaries, including changes in laws and regulations con-
cerning taxes, accounting, banking, securities and other aspects of the financial
services industry, specifically the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), as well as future regulations
which will be adopted by the relevant regulatory agencies, including the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to implement the Dodd-Frank Act’s
 provisions, the Budget Control Act of 2011, the American Taxpayer Relief Act 
of 2012 and the Basel III regulatory capital reforms; the effect of changes 
in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory
agencies, and the accuracy of our assumptions and estimates used to prepare
our financial statements; the effect of trade, monetary, fiscal and other govern-
mental policies of the U.S. federal government, including interest rate policies
of the Federal Reserve; disruption in the liquidity and other functioning of U.S.
financial markets; the impact on financial markets and the economy of any
changes in the credit ratings of the U.S. Treasury obligations and other U.S.
 government-backed debt, as well as issues surrounding the levels of U.S. and
European government debt and concerns regarding the  credit worthiness of
certain sovereign governments, supranationals and financial  institutions in
Europe; unfavorable resolution of legal proceedings or other claims and  reg -
ulatory and other governmental examinations or other inquiries; the adequacy
of our risk management program; a failure in or breach of our operational or
security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors and other
service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks; demand for loans in the
respective market areas served by Park and our  subsidiaries; and other risk

factors relating to the banking industry as detailed from time to time in Park’s
reports filed with the SEC including those described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors”
of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2014. Park does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any
obligation, to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to
update any forward-looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances
after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made, or reflect the
occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.

The net interest income (expense) for Park’s parent company includes 
interest income on loans to SEPH and on subordinated debt investments in 
PNB, which are eliminated in the consolidated Park National Corporation totals.
Additionally, net interest income (expense) includes interest expense related to
the $35.25 million and $30.00 million of subordinated notes issued by Park to
accredited investors on December 23, 2009 and April 20, 2012, respectively.
Park paid in full the $35.25 million outstanding principal amount of the 10%
Subordinated Notes due December 23, 2019, plus accrued interest, on
December 24, 2014, the earliest redemption date allowable under the 
related note purchase agreement dated December 23, 2009.

SEPH

The table below reflects SEPH’s net income (loss) for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. SEPH holds the remaining assets and
 liabilities of those retained by Vision subsequent to the sale of the Vision
 business on February 16, 2012. Prior to holding the remaining Vision 
assets, SEPH held OREO assets that had been transferred from Vision to 
SEPH. This segment represents a run-off portfolio of the legacy Vision assets.

SEPH’s financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 included
net recoveries of $12.4 million. The net recoveries during 2014 consisted of
charge-offs of $1.1 million, offset by recoveries of $13.5 million. Other income
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 at SEPH of $6.0 million was
largely related to net gains on the sale of OREO of $3.3 million and non-yield
loan fee income of $1.3 million, offset by OREO devaluations of $831,000.
Additionally, other income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014
included a $2.2 million gain on the sale of SEPH loans held for sale in the
fourth quarter of 2014. SEPH sold $5.8 million of commercial loans which 
had been moved to held for sale as of September 30, 2014.

On February 16, 2012, when Vision merged with and into SEPH, the loans then
held by Vision were transferred to SEPH by operation of law at their fair value
and no allowance for loan loss is carried at SEPH. The loans included in both
the performing and nonperforming portfolios have been charged down to their
fair value. The table below provides additional information for SEPH regarding
charge-offs as a percentage of the unpaid principal balance, as of December 
31, 2014.

The table below provides an overview of SEPH loans and OREO, representing
the legacy Vision assets. This information is provided as of December 31, 2014,
2013, and 2012, showing the decline in legacy Vision assets at SEPH over the
last two years.

Table 9 – SEPH Legacy Assets

On April 25, 2012, Park repurchased the 100,000 Series A Preferred Shares for
total consideration of $101.0 million, including 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 repurchased the Warrant from the U.S. Treasury for
 consideration of $2.8 million, or $12.50 per Park common share.

The dividends and accretion on the Series A Preferred Shares totaled $3.4
million for 2012. The accretion of the discount was $1.9 million in 2012.
Income available to common shareholders is net income minus the preferred
share dividends and accretion. Income available to common shareholders was
$84.1 million for 2014, $77.2 million for 2013, and $75.2 million for 2012.

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.

On December 23, 2008, as part of Park’s participation in the CPP, Park
 completed the sale to the U.S. Treasury of (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. All of the proceeds from the sale of the Series 
A Preferred Shares and the Warrant by Park to the U.S. Treasury qualified as
Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation 
of Park’s consolidated financial statements are listed in Note 1 of the Notes 
to Consolidated Financial Statements. The accounting and reporting policies 
of Park conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”): The determination of the
ALLL involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than Park’s 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  determi -
nation 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 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 – (Recovery of) Provision for Loan Losses” section for additional
discussion.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”): 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 of the OREO, 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 recognized within other income on the date of 
sale. At December 31, 2014, OREO totaled $22.6 million, a decrease of 
34.7%, compared to $34.6 million at December 31, 2013.

Fair Value: 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/or cash flow

29

PNC_AR2014_final  2/18/15  7:55 AM  Page 11

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

 analyses. The large majority of Park’s financial assets valued using Level 2
inputs consists 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  math -
ematical 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 bench-
mark quoted securities.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: 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 PNB, Park’s bank 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 trans-
acted. 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. Under GAAP, goodwill is no longer amortized but is
subject to an annual evaluation 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 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 concluded that it is more likely than not that the
fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the perform-
ance of the second step of the impairment 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. At December 31, 2014, on 
a consolidated basis, Park had $72.3 million of goodwill.

Pension Plan: The determination of pension plan obligations and related
expenses requires the use of assumptions to estimate the amount of benefits
that employees earn while working, as well as the present value of those
 benefits. Annual pension expense is principally based on four components: 
(1) the value of benefits earned by employees for working during the year
(service cost), (2) the increase in the liability due to the passage of time
 (interest cost), and (3) other gains and losses, reduced by (4) the expected
return on plan assets for our pension plan.

Significant assumptions used to measure our annual pension expense include:

(cid:0) the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount

rate);

(cid:0) certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and

mortality;

(cid:0) the expected return on assets in our funded plans; and
(cid:0) for pension expense, the rate of salary increases for plans where benefits

are based on earnings.

Our assumptions reflect our historical experience and management’s best
 judgment regarding future expectations. Due to the significant management
judgment involved, our assumptions could have a material impact on the
 measurement of our pension plan expense and obligation.

ABOUT OUR BUSINESS
Through our 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 is 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 our customers for commercial, real estate
and consumer loans, and investment, fiduciary and deposit services.

Park’s subsidiaries compete for deposits and loans with other banks, 
savings associations, credit unions and other types of financial institutions. 
At December 31, 2014, Park operated 124 financial service offices (including
those of PNB, Scope Aircraft, Park Title Agency, GFSC and SEPH) and a network
of 141 automated teller machines in 28 Ohio counties.

A summary of financial data, average loans and average deposits, for Park’s
bank subsidiaries and their divisions for 2014, 2013 and 2012 is shown in
Table 11. See Note 25 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
 additional financial information for the Corporation’s operating segments.
Please note that the financial statements for the divisions of PNB are not
 prepared on a separate basis and, therefore, net income is not included 
in the summary financial data below.

The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits was 0.29% in 2014,
compared to 0.35% in 2013, and 0.49% in 2012. The average cost of interest
bearing deposits for each quarter of 2014 was 0.32% for the fourth quarter,
0.27% for the third quarter, 0.27% for the second quarter and 0.29% for the
first quarter. The increase to 0.32% in the fourth quarter was largely due to 
the addition of $200 million of brokered deposits which settled in September
2014 and have an effective rate of 1.77%.

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 0.20% in 2014, compared to 0.22% in 2013, and 0.26% in
2012. The year-end balance for short-term borrowings was $277 million at
December 31, 2014, compared to $242 million at December 31, 2013, and
$344 million at December 31, 2012.

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 include the subordinated notes discussed in the following section. In 2014,
average long-term debt was $868 million, compared to $871 million in 2013,
and $908 million in 2012. Average total debt (long-term and short-term) was
$1,131 million in 2014, compared to $1,124 million in 2013, and $1,166
million in 2012. Average total debt increased by $7 million or 0.6% in 2014
compared to 2013, and decreased by $42 million or 3.6% in 2013 compared
to 2012. Average long-term debt was 77% of average total debt in 2014 and
2013, compared to 78% in 2012.

On November 30, 2012, Park’s bank 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
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 3.29% for 2014,
 compared to 3.26% for 2013, and 3.45% for 2012.

Subordinated Notes: Park assumed, with the 2007 acquisition of Vision’s
parent holding company, $15.5 million of floating rate junior subordinated
notes. The $15.5 million of junior subordinated notes were purchased by Vision
Bancshares Trust I (“Trust I”) following the issuance of Trust I’s $15.0 million
of floating rate preferred securities. The interest rate on these junior subordi-
nated notes adjusts every quarter at 148 basis points above the three-month
LIBOR interest rate. The maturity date for the junior subordinated notes is
December 30, 2035 and the junior subordinated notes may be prepaid after
December 30, 2010. These junior subordinated notes qualify as Tier 1 capital
under current Federal Reserve Board guidelines.

On December 23, 2009, Park issued an aggregate principal amount of $35.25
million of subordinated notes to 38 purchasers. These subordinated notes 
had a fixed annual interest rate of 10% with quarterly interest payments. The
maturity date of these subordinated notes was December 23, 2019 and the
 subordinated notes were eligible to be prepaid after December 23, 2014. 
The subordinated notes qualified as Tier 2 capital under applicable Federal
Reserve Board guidelines. Each subordinated note was purchased at a purchase
price of 100% of the principal amount by an accredited investor. Park paid in
full the $35.25 million outstanding principal amount, plus accrued interest, on
December 24, 2014, the earliest redemption date allowable under the related
note purchase agreement.

On April 20, 2012, Park issued an aggregate principal amount of $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 and the subordinated notes are
eligible to be prepaid after April 20, 2017. The subordinated notes qualify as
Tier 2 capital under applicable Federal Reserve Board guidelines. Each  sub -
ordinated note was purchased at a purchase price of 100% of the principal
amount by an accredited investor.

See Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information about the subordinated notes.

Shareholders’ Equity: The ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity [ share -
holders’ equity ($698.6 million) less goodwill ($72.3 million)] to tangible
assets [total assets ($7,003 million) less goodwill ($72.3 million)] was 9.04%
at December 31, 2014, compared to 8.82% at December 31, 2013, and 8.79%
at December 31, 2012.

In accordance with GAAP, Park reflects any unrealized holding gain or loss on
AFS securities, change in the funded status of Park’s pension plan or unrealized
net holding gain/loss on cash flow hedge, net of income taxes, as accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) which is part of Park’s shareholders’
equity.

The unrealized net holding gain, net of income taxes, on AFS securities was 
$1.3 million at year-end 2014, compared to the unrealized net holding loss, net
of income taxes, of $29.8 million at year-end 2013, and unrealized net holding
gain, net of income taxes, of $9.6 million at year-end 2012. The unrealized net
holding gain at December 31, 2014 was the result of decreases 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 funding
status of Park’s pension plan. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for information on the accounting for Park’s pension plan.

Pertaining to the funding status of the pension plan, Park recognized a net
 comprehensive loss of $9.3 million in 2014, net comprehensive income 
of $21.5 million in 2013 and a net comprehensive loss of $6.2 million in
2012. The net comprehensive loss in 2014 was due to changes in actuarial
assumptions, primarily a decrease in the discount rate from 5.30% at
December 31, 2013 to 4.42% at December 31, 2014. The actuarial loss more
than offset the positive investment returns with respect to the pension plan’s
assets in 2014. The net comprehensive income in 2013 was due to positive
investment returns in 2013 and changes in actuarial assumptions, primarily an
increase in the discount rate from 4.47% at December 31, 2012 to 5.30% at
December 31, 2013. The net comprehensive loss in 2012 was due to changes
in actuarial assumptions, primarily a change in the discount rate. The actuarial
loss more than offset the positive investment returns with respect to the pension
plan’s assets in 2012. At year-end 2014, the balance in accumulated other com-
prehensive loss pertaining to the pension plan was $(14.9) million, compared
to $(5.6) million at December 31, 2013, and $(27.1) million at December 31,
2012.

Park also recognized net comprehensive income with respect to the unrealized
net holding gain of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, due to
the mark-to-market of the $25 million (notional amount) cash flow hedge that
expired on December 28, 2012.

INVESTMENT OF FUNDS
Loans: Average loans were $4,717 million in 2014, compared to $4,515
million in 2013, and $4,411 million in 2012. The average yield on loans was
4.84% in 2014, compared to 5.02% in 2013, and 5.35% in 2012. The average
prime lending rate was 3.25% in each of 2014, 2013 and 2012. Approximately
50% of Park’s loan balances mature or reprice within one year (see Table 34).
The yield on average loan balances for each quarter of 2014 was 4.83% for the
fourth quarter, 4.80% for the third quarter, 4.91% for the second quarter and
4.84% for the first quarter.

At December 31, 2014, loan balances were $4,830 million, compared to
$4,621 million at year-end 2013, an increase of $209 million or 4.5%. The 
loan growth of $209 million in 2014 was largely due to increases in loans 
of $222 million at PNB, offset by declines at GFSC and SEPH.

Year-end residential real estate loans were $1,851 million, $1,800 million, and
$1,713 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. Residential real estate
loans increased by $51 million or 2.8% in 2014, and $87 million or 5.1% in
2013. The increases in 2013 and 2014 were primarily due to management’s
decision to continue to retain certain of the 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage loans
originated during each year. The balance of 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage loans
was $471 million at December 31, 2012, and had a weighted-average interest
rate of 3.62%. At December 31, 2013, the 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage loan
portfolio increased by $141 million to $612 million and had a weighted-average
interest rate of 3.50%. At December 31, 2014, the 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage
loan portfolio increased by $27 million to $639 million and had a weighted-
average interest rate of 3.50%.

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. During 2010, Park began to retain on our balance sheet certain of
the 15-year, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that it originated. The balance
of sold fixed-rate residential mortgage loans, in which Park has maintained the
servicing rights, was $1,264 million at year-end 2014, compared to $1,326
million at year-end 2013 and $1,311 million at year-end 2012.

Year-end consumer loans were $893 million, $724 million, and $652 million in
2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Consumer loans increased by $169 million
or 23.3% in 2014 and increased by $72 million or 11.0% in 2013. The increase
in consumer loans in 2014 and 2013 was primarily due to an increase in auto-
mobile lending in Ohio.

On a combined basis, year-end commercial, financial and agricultural loans,
construction real estate loans and commercial real estate loans totaled $2,082
million, $2,094 million, and $2,082 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respec-
tively. These combined loan totals decreased by $12 million or 0.6% in 2014
and increased by $12 million or 0.6% in 2013. The decrease in 2014 was pri-
marily due to the fact that the increase in commercial, financial and agricultural
loans of $31.1 million was more than offset by decreases in construction real
estate and commercial real estate of $312,000 and $42.6 million, respectively.
The increase in 2013 was primarily due to increases in commercial real estate
loans of $20.2 million and commercial, financial and agricultural loans of $1.5
million, partially offset by a decline in construction real estate loans of $9.4
million.

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. Circum -
stances 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 our securities as AFS (see Note 6 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.

Park classifies certain types of U.S. Government sponsored entity collateralized
mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) that we purchase as held-to-maturity. A classifi-
cation of held-to-maturity means that Park has the positive intent and the ability
to hold these securities until maturity. These CMOs are classified as held-to-
maturity because they are generally not as liquid as the other U.S. Government
sponsored entities’ asset-backed securities that Park classifies as AFS. At year-
end 2014, Park’s held-to-maturity securities portfolio was $141 million,
compared to $182 million at year-end 2013, and $401 million at year-end
2012. 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 $1,433 million in 2014, compared
to $1,377 million in 2013 and $1,610 million in 2012. The average yield on
taxable investment securities was 2.58% in 2014, compared to 2.67% in 2013
and 3.14% in 2012. Average tax-exempt investment securities were $65,000 in
2014, compared to $1.0 million in 2013 and $3.1 million in 2012. The average
tax-equivalent yield on tax-exempt investment securities was 6.97% in 2014,
compared to 7.07% in 2013 and 7.03% in 2012.

Total investment securities (at amortized cost) were $1,499 million at
December 31, 2014, compared to $1,470 million and $1,567 million at
December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Management
 purchased investment securities totaling $352 million in 2014, $583 million 
in 2013 and $1,227 million in 2012. Proceeds from repayments and maturities
of investment securities were $140 million in 2014, $605 million in 2013 and
$1,348 million in 2012.

Proceeds from sales of investment securities were $173.1 million in 2014. 
Park sold investment securities with a book value of $187,000 for a gain of
$22,000. Additionally, investment securities with a book value of $174.1 million
were sold at a loss of $1.2 million. Proceeds from sales of investment securities
were $75 million in 2013. These securities were sold at book value; thus, there
was no gain or loss recognized. There were no sales of investment securities in
2012.

At year-end 2014, 2013 and 2012, the average tax-equivalent yield on the total
investment portfolio was 2.47%, 2.53%, and 2.76%, respectively. The weighted
average remaining maturity of the total investment portfolio was 5.2 years 
at December 31, 2014, 6.5 years at December 31, 2013, and 2.1 years at
December 31, 2012. Obligations of the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Govern -
ment sponsored entities and U.S. Government sponsored entities’ asset-backed
securities were approximately 96.0% of the total investment portfolio at year-
end 2014, approximately 95.2% of the total investment portfolio at year-end
2013, and approximately 95.7% of the total investment portfolio at year-end
2012.

The average maturity of the investment portfolio would lengthen if long-term
interest rates were to 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 2014,
management estimated that the average maturity of the investment portfolio
would lengthen to 5.7 years with a 100 basis point increase in long-term inter-
est rates and to 5.8 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 were to decrease as the principal repayments from
mortgage-backed securities and CMOs would increase as borrowers would
 refinance their mortgage loans and the callable U.S. Government sponsored
entity notes would shorten to their call dates. At year-end 2014, management
estimated that the average maturity of the investment portfolio would decrease
to 1.8 years with a 100 basis point decrease in long-term interest rates and to
1.5 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 16 for three years of history on the average balances
of the balance sheet categories as well as the average rates earned on interest
earning assets and the average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities.)

Net interest income increased by $4.0 million, or 1.8%, to $225.0 million for
2014, compared to a decrease of $14.3 million, or 6.1%, to $221.0 million 
for 2013. The tax equivalent net yield on interest earning assets (net interest
margin) was 3.55% for 2014, compared to 3.61% for 2013 and 3.83% for
2012. The net interest rate spread (the difference between rates received for
interest earning assets and the rates paid for interest bearing liabilities) was
3.38% for 2014, compared to 3.43% for 2013 and 3.62% for 2012. The
increase in net interest income in 2014 was primarily due to the increase in
average interest earning assets of $189 million, to $6,355 million, or 3.1%. 
The decrease in net interest income in 2013 was due to the decline in the net
interest spread to 3.43%, while total interest earning assets only declined by
approximately $25 million.

The average yield on interest earning assets was 4.19% in 2014, compared to
4.29% in 2013 and 4.64% in 2012. On a quarterly basis for 2014, the average
yield on interest earning assets was 4.11% for the fourth quarter, 4.17% for the
third quarter, 4.28% for the second quarter, and 4.20% for the first quarter.

The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 0.81% in 2014, com-
pared to 0.86% in 2013 and 1.02% in 2012. On a quarterly basis for 2014, 
the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities was 0.82% for the fourth
quarter, 0.79% for the third quarter, 0.81% for the second quarter, and 0.82%
for the first quarter.

Other Income: Other income was $75.5 million in 2014, compared to $73.3
million in 2013, and $92.4 million in 2012. Other income in 2012 included
$22.2 million related to the gain on sale of the Vision business. Excluding this
gain, other income was $70.2 million in 2012. The $2.2 million increase in
other income to $75.5 million in 2014, compared to $73.3 million in 2013 
was primarily due to a $2.0 million increase in income from fiduciary activities,

34

a $2.4 million increase in the gain on the sale of OREO, net, and $1.9 million 
of income from the gain on the sale of commercial loans held for sale, offset 
by a $2.5 million decrease in other service income, a $1.2 million loss on 
sale of investment securities, and an $893,000 decrease in service charges 
on deposits. The increase in other income to $73.3 million in 2013, compared
to $70.2 million excluding the gain on the sale of the Vision business in 2012
was primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in income from fiduciary activities
and a $3.7 million decline in OREO devaluations, offset by a $1.3 million
decline in the gain on the sale of OREO, net.

Income from fiduciary activities increased by $2.0 million, or 11.8%, to 
$19.2 million in 2014, compared to an increase of $1.2 million, or 7.4%, 
to $17.1 million in 2013. The increases in fiduciary fee income in 2014 and
2013 were primarily due to improvements in the equity markets and also due 
to an increase in the total account balances serviced by PNB’s Trust Department.
PNB charges fiduciary fees largely based on the market value of the assets being
managed. The average market value of the trust assets that PNB managed was
$4.26 billion at December 31, 2014, compared to $3.86 billion at December
31, 2013, and $3.52 billion at December 31, 2012.

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $893,000, or 5.5%, to 
$15.4 million in 2014, compared to a decrease of $388,000, or 2.3%, to 
$16.3 million in 2013. The declines in 2014 and 2013 were 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 2013 and 2014.

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
transaction, 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 Vision (as constituted after the sale) with and
into SEPH.

Fee income earned from origination and sale into the secondary market 
of long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans is included within other non-yield
related fees in the subcategory “Other service income”. Other service income
decreased $2.5 million, or 19%, to $10.5 million in 2014, and decreased
$718,000, or 5.3%, to $12.9 million in 2013. The decrease during 2014
 consisted of a $3.7 million decrease at PNB offset by a $1.2 million increase 
at SEPH due to the recovery of fees and expenses. The decrease in other service
income in 2014 and 2013 at PNB was primarily due to a corresponding
decrease in the amount of mortgage loans originated.

Checkcard fee income, which is generated from debit card transactions,
increased $615,000, or 4.7%, to $13.6 million in 2014, compared to 
$13.0 million in 2013, and $12.5 million in 2012. The increases in 2014 
and 2013 were attributable to continued increases in the volume of debit 
card transactions.

Gain on the sale of OREO, net, totaled $5.5 million in 2014, an increase of $2.4
million, compared to $3.1 million in 2013. The table below provides details on
the OREO sales at PNB and SEPH in 2014 and 2013.

OREO devaluations, which result from declines in the fair value (less
 anticipated selling costs) of property acquired through foreclosure, totaled 
$2.4 million in 2014, a decrease of $774,000, or 24.3%, compared to $3.2
million in 2013. Of the $2.4 million in OREO devaluations in 2014, $1.6 
million were related to devaluations at PNB.

Gain on sale of commercial loans held for sale was $1.9 million in 2014. 
PNB sold $12.7 million of commercial loans held for sale, which resulted 
in a $328,000 loss on sale. SEPH sold $6.4 million of commercial loans 
held for sale, which resulted in a $2.2 million gain on sale.

Other Expense: Other expense was $195.2 million in 2014, compared 
to $188.5 million in 2013, and $188.0 million in 2012. Other expense
increased by $6.7 million, or 3.6% in 2014, and increased by $561,000, 
or 0.3%, in 2013. The following table displays total other expense for

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased $1.7 million, or 1.7%, to
$102.0 million in 2014 and increased by $4.3 million, or 4.5%, to $100.3
million in 2013. The increase in 2014 was primarily due to increases of
$992,000 in salary expense, $3.4 million in group medical insurance, and 
$1.2 million in other employee benefits, offset by a $4.1 million decrease 
in retirement benefit expense. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to
increases of $2.6 million in salary expense, $1.5 million in group medical
insurance, and $831,000 in retirement benefit expense. Park had 1,801 
full-time equivalent employees at year-end 2014, compared to 1,836 full-time
equivalent employees at year-end 2013, and 1,826 at year-end 2012.

Professional fees and services increased $1.7 million, or 6.2%, to $29.6 
million in 2014, and increased by $3.6 million, or 14.8%, to $27.9 million in
2013. This subcategory of total other expense includes legal fees, management
consulting fees, director fees, audit fees, regulatory examination fees and mem-
berships in industry associations. The increase in professional fees and services
expense in each of 2013 and 2014 was primarily due to increases in legal and
consulting fees at both PNB and SEPH, although SEPH realized a modest decline
in 2013 from the level in 2012.

State taxes decreased by $1.4 million, or 38.1%, to $2.3 million in 2014,
 compared to $3.7 million in 2013. The decrease was due to the reversal of 
an accrual previously established for the 2012 and 2013 state tax years which
are now concluded.

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 44 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 44 loans  repurchased
from Centennial.

The subcategory “Miscellaneous” other expense includes expenses for 
supplies, travel, charitable contributions, and other miscellaneous expense. 
The subcategory miscellaneous other expense increased by $3.4 million, or
51.6%, to $10.0 million in 2014, and decreased by $1.7 million, or 20.2%, to
$6.6 million in 2013. The $3.4 million increase in 2014 was primarily due to a
charitable contribution and a contract termination fee. The $1.7 million decline
in 2013 was largely due to the reversal of a $1.5 million liability for potential
credit loss exposure related to certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the
Ohio-based operations, which had previously been established in 2012.

Income Taxes: Federal income tax expense was $28.6 million in 2014,
 compared to $25.1 million in 2013, and $25.7 million in 2012. Federal 
income tax expense as a percentage of income before taxes was 25.4% in 
2014, 24.6% in 2013, and 24.6% in 2012. The difference between the statutory
federal income tax rate of 35% and Park’s effective tax rate reflects the perma-
nent tax differences,  primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from
municipal investments and loans, low income housing tax credits, bank owned
life insurance income, and dividends paid on common shares held within
Park’s salary deferral plan. Park’s  permanent tax differences for 2014 were
approximately $10.6 million.

CREDIT EXPERIENCE
(Recovery of) Provision for Loan Losses: The (recovery of) 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 (recovery of) provision for loan losses is determined by management
after reviewing the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, historic and 
current loan loss experience and current economic conditions.

The (recovery of) provision for loan losses for Park was ($7.3) million in
2014, $3.4 million in 2013 and $35.4 million in 2012. Net loan (recoveries)
charge-offs were ($2.2) million in 2014, ($516,000) in 2013, and $48.3
million in 2012. 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
(recoveries) charge-offs to average loans was (0.05%) in 2014, (0.01%) 
in 2013, and 1.10% in 2012.

Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries, PNB and GFSC, are the only subsidiaries that
carry an ALLL balance. The table below provides additional information on the
provision for loan losses and the ALLL for Park’s Ohio-based subsidiaries for

SEPH, as a non-bank subsidiary of Park, does not carry an ALLL balance, but
recognizes a provision for loan losses when a charge-off is taken and recog-
nizes a recovery of loan losses when a recovery is received. The (recovery of)
provision for loan losses for SEPH was ($12.4) million for 2014 and ($11.8)
million for 2013. The provision for loan losses, 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 net recoveries in 2014 consisted 
of charge-offs of $1.1 million and recoveries of $13.5 million, and the net
recoveries in 2013 consisted of charge-offs of $2.2 million and recoveries 
of $14.0 million.

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 value and no allowance for loan loss has been or will be carried at
SEPH. The table below provides additional information regarding charge-offs

Generally, management obtains updated appraisal information for  non -
performing loans 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 to the outstanding principal 
balance to determine if additional write-downs are necessary.

At year-end 2014, the allowance for loan losses was $54.4 million, or 1.13% 
of total loans outstanding, compared to $59.5 million, or 1.29%, of total loans
outstanding at year-end 2013, and $55.5 million, or 1.25%, of total loans out-
standing at year-end 2012. 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, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

General reserves increased $1.7 million, or 3.4%, to $50.7 million at 
December 31, 2014, compared to $49.0 million at December 31, 2013. 
The increase in general reserves was primarily due to a $3.9 million increase 
in general reserves in the consumer loan portfolio, as this portfolio of loans
experienced significant growth in 2014. Offsetting the general reserve increase
in the consumer loan portfolio was a $2.2 million decline in general reserves 
in the commercial loan portfolio due to the improving credit trends for Park’s
Ohio-based operations (PNB and GFSC) commercial loan portfolio. The follow-
ing table shows the improving credit trends in Park’s Ohio-based operations
commercial loan portfolio.

*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.

Delinquent and accruing loan trends for Park’s Ohio-based operations have
also improved over the past 24 months. Delinquent and accruing loans were
$33.0 million, or 0.69% of total loans at December 31, 2014, compared to
$32.0 million, or 0.70% of total loans at December 31, 2013, and $39.6
million, or 0.90% of total loans at December 31, 2012.

Impaired commercial loans for Park’s Ohio-based operations were $51.3
million as of December 31, 2014, a reduction from the balances of impaired
commercial loans of $77.0 million and $89.4 million at December 31, 2013
and 2012, respectively. The $51.3 million of impaired commercial loans at
December 31, 2014 included $3.6 million of loans modified in a troubled debt
restructuring which are currently on accrual status and performing in accor-
dance with the restructured terms. Impaired commercial loans are individually
evaluated for impairment and specific reserves are established to cover any
probable, incurred losses for those loans that have not been charged down to
the net realizable value of the underlying collateral or to the net present value 
of expected cash flows.

Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at year-end 2014 
is  adequate to absorb probable, incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. 
See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the  dis cussion
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.

As of December 31, 2014, 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) troubled debt restructurings
(TDRs) on accrual status; and 3) loans which are contractually past due 90
days or more as to principal or interest payments, where interest continues 
to accrue. Prior to Park’s adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
2011-02, Park classified all TDRs as nonaccrual loans. With the adoption of
ASU 2011-02, management determined it was appropriate to return certain
TDRs to accrual status. Specifically, if the restructured note has been current 
for a period of at least six months and management expects the borrower will
remain current throughout the renegotiated contract, the loan may be returned
to accrual status. OREO results from taking possession of property that served
as collateral for a defaulted loan.

The following is a summary of Park’s nonaccrual loans, accruing TDRs, loans
past due 90 days or more and still accruing and OREO for the last five years:

Park had $19.5 million of commercial loans included on the watch list 
at December 31, 2014, compared to $29.0 million of commercial loans 
at year-end 2013 and $68.3 million of commercial loans at year-end 2012.
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 commercial loans, Park’s
watch list of potential problem commercial loans was 0.8% in 2014, 1.2% in
2013, and 2.8% in 2012. The existing conditions of these loans do not warrant
classification as nonaccrual. 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, 2014, loans considered 
to be impaired consisted substantially of commercial loans graded as  “sub -
standard” or “doubtful” and placed on non-accrual status. Specific reserves 
on impaired commercial loans are typically based on management’s best esti-
mate 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 that are 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 percent-
age is allocated to these loans. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), 
also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit
risk and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to 
these loans. Generally, commercial loans that are graded a 6 are considered 
for partial charge-off or have been charged down to the net realizable value 
of the underlying collateral. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful)
are shown as nonperforming and Park 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.

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

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 72 months.
Management generally considers a one-year coverage period (the “Historical
Loss Factor”) appropriate because the probable loss on any given loan in the
consumer loan pool should ordinarily become apparent in that time frame.
However, management may incorporate adjustments to the Historical Loss
Factor as circumstances warrant additional reserves (e.g., increased loan
 delinquencies, improving or deteriorating economic conditions, changes 
in lending management and underwriting standards, etc.). At December 31,
2014, the coverage level within the consumer portfolio was approximately 
1.98 years.

The judgmental increases discussed above incorporate management’s
 evaluation of the impact of environmental qualitative factors which pose
 additional risks and assignment of a component of the 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,
delinquencies, impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries. The  deter -
mination of this component of the allowance for loan losses requires
considerable management judgment. 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 our 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 $90.7 million during 2014 to $237.7
million at year-end. Cash provided by operating activities was $122.7 million 
in 2014, $145.8 million in 2013, and $138.8 million in 2012. Net income 
was the primary source of cash from operating activities during each year.

Cash used in investing activities was $280.6 million in 2014, $137.1 million 
in 2013 and $228.3 million in 2012. Investment security transactions are the
major use or source of cash in investing activities. Proceeds from the sale,
repayment or maturity of securities provide cash and purchases of securities
use cash. Net security transactions used cash of $29.7 million in 2014, provided
cash of $96.9 million in 2013, and provided cash of $122.3 million in 2012.
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 $234.0 million in 2014, $212.3 million in 2013, and $186.7
million in 2012.

As of December 31, 2014, management had taken partial charge-offs of
approximately $32.5 million related to the $73.7 million of commercial 
loans considered to be impaired, compared to charge-offs of approximately
$63.3 million related to the $112.3 million of impaired commercial loans at
December 31, 2013. The table below provides additional information related 
to Park’s impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2014, including those
impaired commercial loans at PNB, PNB participations in impaired Vision 
loans and those impaired Vision commercial loans retained at SEPH.

A significant portion of Park’s allowance for loan losses is allocated to
 commercial loans. “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 loans,
resulting in a higher probability that Park will suffer a loss on the loans unless
the weakness is corrected. Park’s annualized 72-month loss experience, defined
as charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves, within the commercial loan
portfolio has been 0.60% of the principal balance of these loans. This annual-
ized 72-month loss experience includes only the performance of the PNB loan
portfolio and excludes the impact of PNB participations in Vision loans. The
allowance for loan losses related to performing commercial loans was $29.3
million or 1.23% of the outstanding principal balance of other accruing
 commercial loans at December 31, 2014.

The overall reserve of 1.23% for other accruing commercial loans breaks down
as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved at 1.18%; special mention
commercial loans are reserved at 5.83%; and substandard commercial loans
are reserved at 10.60%. The reserve levels for pass-rated, special mention and
substandard commercial loans in excess of the annualized 72-month loss expe-
rience of 0.60% 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 period of time a loan takes to 
migrate from pass to nonaccrual.

(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.

Cash provided by financing activities was $248.5 million in 2014, cash used in
financing activities was $62.9 million in 2013, and cash provided by financing
activities was $133.4 million in 2012. A major source of cash for financing
activities is the net change in deposits. Deposits increased and provided $338.0
million of cash in 2014, $74.0 million of cash in 2013 and $250.9 million of
cash in 2012. Of the $338.0 million deposit increase in 2014, $200 million 
was related to the settlement of brokered deposits in September 2014. Another
major source of cash for financing activities is short-term borrowings and long-
term debt. In 2014, net short-term borrowings increased and provided $35.0
million in cash, and net long-term borrowings decreased and used $64.2
million in cash. In 2013, net short-term borrowings decreased and used 
$102.1 million in cash, and net long-term borrowings increased and provided
$24.0 million in cash. In 2012, net short-term borrowings increased and pro-
vided $80.6 million in cash, and net long-term borrowings decreased and used
$65.1 million in cash. 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 Warrant, both from the U.S. Treasury. Finally, cash declined
by $57.9 million in 2014 and 2013, and $60.2 million in 2012, from the
payment of cash dividends.

Funds are available from a number of sources, including the capital markets,
the investment securities portfolio, the core deposit base, Federal Home Loan
Bank borrowings 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 $100.4 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 30% of savings
 accounts are considered to re-price within one year. If all of the interest bearing transaction
 accounts and savings accounts were considered to re-price within one year, the one-year
 cumulative gap would change from a positive 8.46% to a negative 14.30%.

The interest rate sensitivity gap analysis provides an overall picture of Park’s
static interest rate risk position. At December 31, 2014, the cumulative interest
earning assets maturing or repricing within twelve months were $2,690 million
compared to the cumulative interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing
within twelve months of $2,146 million. For the twelve-month cumulative gap
position, rate sensitive assets exceeded rate sensitive liabilities by $544 million
or 8.46% 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 increase. 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
2013 was a positive $367 million or 6.05% of total interest earning assets. The
percentage of interest earning assets maturing or repricing within one year was
41.8% at year-end 2014, compared to 41.5% at year-end 2013. The percentage
of interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 43.2%
at year-end 2014, compared to 45.4% at year-end 2013.

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  man -
agement 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  incor -
porates 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

PNC_AR2014_final  2/18/15  7:55 AM  Page 22

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

cannot precisely measure net interest income and net income. Actual results
will differ from simulated results due to the 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, 2014, the earnings simulation model projected that
net income would increase by 1.3% using a rising interest rate scenario and
decrease by 7.1% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. 
At December 31, 2013, the earnings simulation model projected that net
income would decrease by 1.4% using a rising interest rate scenario and
decrease by 10.3% using a declining interest rate scenario over the following
year. 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 following
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 3.55% in
2014, 3.61% in 2013 and 3.83% in 2012. 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,
2014.

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 our customers, 
the Corporation issues loan commitments and standby letters of credit. At
December 31, 2014, the Corporation had $885.1 million of loan commitments
for commercial, commercial real estate, and residential real estate loans and
had $12.5 million of standby letters of credit. At December 31, 2013, the
Corporation had $821.8 million of loan commitments for commercial,
 commercial real estate, and residential real estate loans and had $20.6 
million of standby letters of credit.

Commitments to extend credit under loan commitments and standby letters 
of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. These
 commitments often expire without being drawn upon. However, all of the 
loan commitments and standby letters of credit were permitted to be drawn
upon in 2014. See Note 21 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, 2014.

Capital: Park’s primary means of maintaining capital adequacy is through
retained earnings. At December 31, 2014, the Corporation’s total shareholders’
equity was $698.6 million, compared to $651.7 million at December 31, 2013.
Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2014 was 9.98% of total assets,
compared to 9.82% of total assets at December 31, 2013.

Tangible shareholders’ equity [total shareholders’ equity ($698.6 million) 
less goodwill and other intangible assets ($72.3 million)] was $626.3 million 
at December 31, 2014 and was $579.4 million at December 31, 2013. At
December 31, 2014, tangible shareholders’ equity was 9.04% of total tangible
assets [total assets ($7,003 million) less goodwill and other intangible assets
($72.3 million)], compared to 8.82% at December 31, 2013.

Net income was $84.1 million in 2014, $77.2 million in 2013 and $78.6 million
in 2012.

Preferred share dividends paid as a result of Park’s participation in the CPP
were $1.6 million in 2012. Accretion of the discount on the Series A Preferred
Shares was $1,854,000 in 2012. 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 $84.1 million in 2014, $77.2
million in 2013, and $75.2 million in 2012.

Cash dividends declared for common shares were $57.9 million in each of
2014, 2013, and 2012. On a per share basis, the cash dividends declared were
$3.76 per share in each of 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Park repurchased 29,700 common shares for treasury in 2014, repurchased
10,550 common shares for treasury in 2013, and did not purchase any treasury
shares during 2012. Common shares held in treasury had a balance of $77.4
million at December 31, 2014, $76.1 million at December 31, 2013, and $76.4
million at December 31, 2012. During 2014, the value of common shares held
in treasury was reduced by $1.0 million as a result of the issuance of an aggre-
gate of 10,200 common shares to directors of Park and to the directors of
Park’s bank subsidiary PNB (and its divisions), and increased by $2.4 million
due to the repurchase of 29,700 common shares for treasury. During 2013, 
the value of common shares held in treasury was reduced by $1.1 million as 
a result of the issuance of an aggregate of 10,550 common shares to directors
of Park and to the directors of Park’s bank subsidiary PNB (and its divisions),
and increased by $0.8 million due to the repurchase of 10,550 common shares
held in treasury. During 2012, the value of common shares held in treasury 
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).

Park did not issue any new common shares (that it had not already held as
 treasury shares in any of 2014, 2013 or 2012). Common shares had a balance
of $303.1 million at December 31, 2014, and $302.7 million at each of
December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss (net) was $13.6 million at December
31, 2014, compared to $35.4 million at December 31, 2013, and $17.5 million
at December 31, 2012. During the 2012 year, the change in net unrealized
holding gain (loss) on securities available for sale, net of tax, was a loss of $3.1
million and Park did not realize any after-tax gains, resulting in an unrealized
gain on securities available for sale of $9.6 million at December 31, 2012.
During the 2013 year, the change in net unrealized holding gain (loss) on
 securities available for sale, net of tax, was a loss of $39.4 million and Park 
did not realize any after-tax gains, resulting in an unrealized loss on securities
available for sale of $29.8 million at December 31, 2013. During the 2014 year,
the change in net unrealized holding gain (loss) on securities available for 
sale, net of tax, was a gain of $31.1 million. In addition, Park recognized other
 compre hensive gain of $0.6 million in 2012 due to the mark-to-market of a
cash flow hedge at December 31, 2012. Finally, Park recognized other  com -
prehensive loss of $9.3 million, net of tax, related to the change in pension 
plan assets and benefit obligations in 2014, compared to a gain of $21.5
million, net of tax, in 2013, and a loss of $6.2 million, net of tax, in 2012.

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 intan-
gible assets divided by tangible assets) at December 31, 2014 was 4%. Park’s
leverage capital ratio was 9.25% at December 31, 2014 and exceeded the
minimum capital required by $371 million. The minimum Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio (defined as leverage capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) at
December 31, 2014 was 4%. Park’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.39%
at December 31, 2014 and exceeded the minimum capital required by $459
million. The minimum total risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage 
capital plus supplemental capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) at December
31, 2014 was 8%. Park’s total risk-based capital ratio was 15.14% at December
31, 2014 and exceeded the minimum capital required by $349 million.

PNB, the only financial institution subsidiary of Park, met the well capitalized
ratio guidelines at December 31, 2014. See Note 24 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for the capital ratios for Park and PNB.

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 our asset/liability management program to react 
to changes in interest rates.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
Table 39 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,
2009 to December 31, 2014. 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 Market to be within our 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 consolidated 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, our Chief Executive Officer and President and our Chief Financial
 Officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of
 December 31, 2014, 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’s (COSO) 1992 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, 2014.

The Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe Horwath LLP, has audited the Corporation’s 
2014 and 2013 consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report and the Corporation’s internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, 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, 2014 and 
2013 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, 2014. We also have audited Park National Corporation’s internal
 control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in the 1992 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 state-
ments 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 manage-
ment, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included
obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also
 included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits 
provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
 position of Park National Corporation as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows 
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, 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, 2014, based on criteria established in the 1992 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,
accounting for goodwill and accounting for pension plan and other post
 retirement benefits 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 national bank subsidiary is required to maintain average
reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average required reserve
balance was approximately $40.3 million at December 31, 2014 and $48.0
million at December 31, 2013. No other compensating balance arrangements
were in existence at December 31, 2014.

Investment Securities
Investment securities are classified upon acquisition into one of three
 categories: held-to-maturity (HTM), available-for-sale (AFS), or trading 
(see Note 6 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

HTM securities are those securities that the Corporation has the positive 
intent and ability to hold to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost. AFS
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. AFS 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.

AFS and HTM 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 perform-
ance and whether Park intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that Park will
be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of
its amortized cost basis. Declines in the value of equity securities that are con-
sidered to be other-than-temporary are recorded as a charge to earnings in the
Consolidated Statements of Income. Declines in the value of debt securities that
are considered to be other-than-temporary are separated into (1) the amount
of the total impairment related to credit loss and (2) the amount of the total
impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-
 temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. 
The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other
factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Interest income from investment securities 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.

54

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 national bank subsidiary, 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 Consolidated Balance Sheets. Both
cash and stock dividends are reported as income.

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

Loans Held for Sale
Generally, loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. 
Park has elected the fair value option for mortgage loans held for sale, which
are carried at their fair value.

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. The fair values 
of these mortgage derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage
 interest rates from the date the interest rate 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 resulting from its commitments to fund the loans. Changes in 
the fair values of these derivatives are included in net gains on sale 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 7 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
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, HELOCs, and consumer loans secured by residen-
tial real estate 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

PNC_AR2014_final  2/18/15  7:56 AM  Page 36

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

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 may be removed from nonaccrual
status when loan payments have been received to cure the delinquency status,
the borrower has demonstrated the ability to maintain current payment status in
accordance with the loan agreement and the loan is deemed to be well-secured
by management.

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

Commercial, financial and agricultural: Commercial, financial and
 agricultural loans are made for a wide variety of general corporate purposes,
including financing for 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 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.

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. 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 division
making the loan may be required to advance funds beyond the amount origi-
nally committed to permit completion of the project. If the estimate of value
proves inaccurate, the PNB division 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 that a default on a
 construction loan occurs and foreclosure follows, the PNB division must 
take control of the project and attempt to either arrange for completion of
 construction or 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. PNB and its divisions attempt to reduce such risks on loans to
developers by requiring personal guarantees and reviewing current personal
financial statements and tax returns as well as other projects undertaken by 
the developer.

Residential real estate: The Company defines residential real estate loans 
as first mortgages on individuals’ primary residences or second mortgages 
of individuals’ primary residences in the form of HELOCs or installment loans.
Credit approval for residential real estate loans requires demonstration of suffi-
cient income to repay the principal and interest and the real estate taxes and
insurance, stability of employment, an established credit record and an
appraised value of the real estate securing the loan.

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 histori-
cal 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  eval -
uation 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 appro-
priate 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, 2014, 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 com-
mercial loans, experienced during 2009 through 2014 within the individual
segments of the commercial and consumer loan categories. Management
believes the 72-month historical loss experience methodology is appropriate 
in the current economic environment, as it captures loss rates consistent with
current expectations based on current economic conditions. The loss factor
applied to Park’s consumer portfolio as of December 31, 2014 was based on
the historical loss experience over the past 72 months, plus an additional
 judgmental reserve, increasing the total allowance for loan loss coverage in 
the consumer portfolio to approximately 1.98 years of historical loss. The
 consumer loan portfolio loss coverage ratio was 1.68 years at December 
31, 2013. The loss factor applied to Park’s commercial portfolio as of
December 31, 2014 was based on the historical loss experience over the past
72 months, plus additional reserves for consideration of (1) a loss emergence
period factor, (2) a loss migration factor and (3) a judgmental or environmen-
tal loss factor. These additional reserves increased the total allowance for loan
loss coverage in the commercial portfolio to approximately 2.28 years of  his -
torical loss at December 31, 2014. The commercial loan portfolio loss coverage
ratio was 2.42 years at December 31, 2013. Park’s commercial loans are indi-
vidually risk graded. If loan downgrades occur, the probability of default
increases and accordingly management allocates a higher percentage reserve 
to those accruing commercial loans graded special mention and substandard.

The judgmental increases discussed above incorporate management’s  evalu -
ation 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 proce-
dures; and levels of, and trends in, consumer bankruptcies, delinquencies,
impaired loans and charge-offs and recoveries.

GAAP requires 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 credit scores; and (4) consideration of
global cash flows of financially sound guarantors that have previously supported
loan payments. 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
difficulty 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 bor-
rower’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. TDRs are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are meas-
ured 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
Land is carried at cost and is not subject to depreciation. Premises and
 equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line method over the esti-
mated 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

30 Years
3 to 12 Years
1 to 10 Years

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
OREO is initially recorded at fair value less anticipated selling costs (net
 realizable value), establishing a new cost basis, 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 differ-
ence is charged to the allowance for loan losses. These assets are subsequently
accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Subsequent
changes in the value of real estate are classified as OREO valuation adjustments,
are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount of OREO and are recorded
within “Other income”. In certain circumstances where management believes
the devaluation may not be permanent in nature, Park utilizes a valuation
allowance to record OREO devaluations, which is also expensed through “Other
income”. Costs relating to development and improvement of such properties
are capitalized (not in excess of fair value less estimated costs to sell) and costs
relating to holding the properties are charged to “Other expense”.

Mortgage Loan Servicing Rights (MSR)
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 “Other service income”. Capitalized servicing rights are
 amortized in proportion to and over the period of the 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 22
of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Fees received for servicing mortgage loans owned by investors are based on a
percentage of the outstanding monthly principal balance of such loans and are
included in income as loan payments are received. The cost of servicing loans 
is charged to expense as incurred.

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

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized to expense, 
but are subject to impairment tests annually, or more frequently if events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Intangible
assets with definitive useful lives (such as core deposit intangibles) are 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. At December 31, 2014, the goodwill remaining on Park’s
Consolidated Balance Sheet consisted entirely of goodwill at PNB. (See Note 
25 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for operating segment
results.)

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 carrying
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, 2014, the
Company determined that goodwill for Park’s national bank subsidiary (PNB)
was not impaired. There have been no subsequent circumstances or events
 triggering an additional evaluation.

Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and cash items, amounts due from
banks and money market instruments. Generally, money market instruments
are purchased and sold for one-day periods.

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 that matured on December 28, 2012, which
are also recognized as separate components of equity.

Share-Based Compensation
Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock units and stock awards
issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards 
at the date of grant. The market price of Park’s common shares at the date 
of grant is used to estimate the fair value of restricted stock units and stock
awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period,
 generally defined as the vesting period. (See Note 15 of these Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.)

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 the
derivative’s 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  desig -
nation (“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 Sheets 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 ter-
minates, 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  trans -
actions will affect earnings.

Fair Value Measurement
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market infor-
mation and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 23 of these Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties
and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepay-
ments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for
particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could signifi-
cantly 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 awards,
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
The Corporation is a financial holding company headquartered in Newark,
Ohio. The operating segments for the Corporation are its chartered national
bank subsidiary, The Park National Bank (“PNB”) (headquartered in Newark,
Ohio), SE Property Holdings, LLC (“SEPH”), and Guardian Financial Services
Company (“GFSC”).

2. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
ASU 2013-11 – Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an
Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, 
a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists: The ASU
requires that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax
benefit, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred 
tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit
carryforward. However, if a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss,
or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax
law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that
would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the appli-
cable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not
intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax
benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should
not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments are effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December
15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance effective January 1, 2014 did not have
an impact on Park’s consolidated statements.

ASU 2014-01 – Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures
(Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable
Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task
Force): In January 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-01,
Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments
in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging
Issues Task Force). The ASU permits reporting entities to make an accounting
policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing
projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are
met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial
cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits
received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income state-
ment as a component of income tax expense. Additionally, a reporting entity
should disclose information that enables users of its financial statement to
understand the nature of its investments in qualified affordable housing proj-
ects, and the effect of the measurement of its investments in qualified affordable
housing projects and the related tax credits on its financial position and results
of operations. The new guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim
reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15,
2014. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on Park’s
consolidated financial statements, but may impact the presentation of Park’s
investments in qualified affordable housing projects. Finally, the adoption of 
this guidance will require additional disclosures.

ASU 2014-04 – Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by
Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real
Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure 
(a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force): In January 2014,
FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-04, Receivables—Troubled
Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of
Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon
Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). The ASU
clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and a credi-
tor is considered to have received physical possession of real estate property
collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan. Specifically, the new ASU requires 
a creditor to reclassify a collateralized consumer mortgage loan to real estate
property upon obtaining legal title to the real estate collateral, or the borrower
voluntarily conveying all interest in the real estate property to the lender to
satisfy the loan through a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement.
Additional disclosures are required detailing the amount of foreclosed residen-
tial real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in
consumer mortgages collateralized by real estate property that are in the
process of foreclosure. The new guidance is effective for annual periods, 
and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after
December 15, 2014. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material
impact on Park’s consolidated financial statements, but will result in additional
disclosures.

ASU 2014-09 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):
In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The ASU creates a new topic,
Topic 606, to provide guidance on revenue recognition for entities that enter
into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enter into con-
tracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance
is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to
which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Additional disclosures are required to provide quantitative and qualitative infor-
mation regarding the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and
cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new guidance is effective
for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual
periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted.
Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance
on Park’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-11 – Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-
to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures: 
In June 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-11, Transfers
and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions,
Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU 
change the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked
repurchase financings to secured borrowing accounting, which is consistent
with the accounting for other repurchase agreements. The amendments also
require two new disclosures. The first disclosure requires an entity to disclose
information on transfers accounted for as sales in transactions that are eco-
nomically similar to repurchase agreements. The second disclosure provides
increased transparency about the types of collateral pledged in repurchase
agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. 
The accounting changes are effective for annual periods, and interim reporting
periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. 
The disclosure for certain transactions accounted for as a sale is required to 
be presented for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15,
2014, with all other disclosure requirements required to be presented for
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods
beginning after March 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance will not have 
a material impact on Park’s consolidated financial statements, but will result 
in additional disclosures.

3. ORGANIZATION
Park National Corporation is a financial holding company headquartered in
Newark, Ohio. Through its national bank 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 Bank Division
headquartered in Newark, Ohio, the Fairfield National Bank Division  head -
quartered in Lancaster, Ohio, The Park National Bank of Southwest Ohio &
Northern Kentucky Division headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, the First-Knox
National Bank Division headquartered in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the Farmers
Bank Division headquartered in Loudonville, Ohio, the Security National Bank
Division headquartered in Springfield, Ohio, the Unity National Bank Division
headquartered in Piqua, Ohio, the Richland Bank Division headquartered 
in Mansfield, Ohio, the Century National Bank Division headquartered in
Zanesville, Ohio, the United Bank, N.A. Division headquartered in Bucyrus, 
Ohio and the Second National Bank Division headquartered in Greenville, 
Ohio. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Park, Guardian Financial Services 
Company (“GFSC”) is a consumer finance company located in Central Ohio.

Through February 16, 2012, Park operated a second banking subsidiary, 
Vision Bank (“Vision”), which was engaged in a general commercial banking
business, primarily in Baldwin County, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida.
Vision 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  sub -
sequent to the sale. SEPH also holds OREO that had previously been transferred
to SEPH from Vision. SEPH’s assets consist primarily of performing and nonper-
forming loans and 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; trust services; cash management; safe deposit
operations; electronic funds transfers and a variety of additional banking-
related services. Vision, with its two banking divisions, through February 16,
2012, provided the services mentioned above. See Note 25 of these Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for financial information on the
Corporation’s operating segments.

4. SALE OF VISION BANK BUSINESS
On February 16, 2012, Park and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vision, 
completed their sale of substantially all of the performing loans, operating
assets and liabilities associated with Vision to Centennial Bank (“Centennial”),
an Arkansas state-chartered bank which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home
BancShares, Inc. (“Home”), an Arkansas corporation, as contemplated by the
previously announced Purchase and Assumption Agreement by and between
Park, Vision, Home and Centennial, dated as of November 16, 2011, as
amended by the First Amendment to Purchase and Assumption Agreement,
dated as of January 25, 2012, and the Second Amendment to Purchase and
Assumption Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2012 (collectively, the “Vision
Purchase Agreement”) for a purchase price of $27.9 million.

Subsequent to the transactions contemplated by the Vision Purchase Agreement,
Vision was left with approximately $22 million of performing loans (including
mortgage loans held for sale) and non-performing loans with a fair value of 
$88 million. Park recorded a pre-tax gain, net of expenses directly related 
to the sale, of approximately $22.2 million, resulting from the transactions
 contemplated by the Vision Purchase Agreement. The pre-tax gain, net of
expense is summarized in the table below:

$22,167

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 Centennial’s intent to put back approximately $7.5
million aggregate principal amount of loans. During 2012, Centennial put back
44 loans, totaling approximately $7.5 million. These 44 loans were recorded 
on the books at a fair value of $4.2 million. The difference of $3.3 million was
written off against the loan put liability that had previously been established in
the first half of 2012.

The core deposit intangibles were 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 
first quarter of 2012 due to the pending sale of the Vision Bank business to
Centennial Bank. Core deposit intangibles were fully amortized at December 31,
2013, and thus there was no amortization expense in 2014. Core deposit intan-
gible amortization expense was $337,000 in 2013 and $2.2 million in 2012.

6. 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 2014, there were
no investment securities deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During
2013 and 2012, Park recognized other-than-temporary impairment charges of
$17,000 and $54,000, respectively, related to an equity investment in a financial
institution.

Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of December 31,
2014 or 2013 represented an other-than-temporary impairment. The unrealized
losses on debt securities are primarily the result of interest rate changes. These
conditions will not prohibit Park from receiving its contractual principal and
interest payments on these debt securities. The fair value of these debt securities
is expected to recover as payments are received on these  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.

Other investment securities (as shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets)
consist of stock investments in the FHLB and the FRB. These restricted stock
investments are carried at their redemption value. Park owned $50.1 million
and $59.0 million of FHLB stock and $8.2 million and $6.9 million of FRB
stock at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

During 2014, the FHLB elected to redeem 89,460 shares of FHLB stock 
for $8.9 million. There was no gain or loss resulting from this transaction.
Additionally, during 2014, Park purchased 27,000 shares of FRB stock in 
order to maintain required stock levels. The FRB stock was purchased for 
a $1.4 million subscription price.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments in debt securities at
December 31, 2014, 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.

to be called and are shown in the table at their expected call date.

Investment securities having an amortized cost of $1,205 million and $1,321

alize government and trust department deposits in accordance with federal and
state requirements, to secure repurchase agreements sold and as collateral for
FHLB advance borrowings.

At December 31, 2014, $513 million was pledged for government and trust
department deposits, $664 million was pledged to secure repurchase agree-
ments and $28 million was pledged as collateral for FHLB advance borrowings.
At December 31, 2013, $639 million was pledged for government and trust
department deposits, $648 million was pledged to secure repurchase agree-
ments and $34 million was pledged as collateral for FHLB advance borrowings.

other than the U.S. Government and its agencies, in an amount greater than
10% of shareholders’ equity.

During 2014, Park sold investment securities with a book value of $187,000 
at a gain of $22,000. Additionally, Park sold investment securities with a book
value of $174.1 million at a loss of $1.2 million. During 2013, Park sold $75.0

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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 
$32.4 million and $58.1 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans
individually evaluated for impairment with no related allowance recorded 
and $45,000 and $5.2 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans
 individually evaluated for impairment that also had a specific reserve allocated.

The allowance for loan losses included specific reserves related to loans
 individually evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 
of $3.7 million and $10.5 million, respectively. These loans with specific
reserves had a recorded investment of $9.3 million and $21.4 million as 
of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators
Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across
the loan portfolio. Past due information as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 
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 on a
scale from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the responsible
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
that are 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 classi-
fied as special mention have potential weaknesses that require management’s
close attention. If left  uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in
deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s
credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard),
also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit
risk and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these
loans. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current
sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the value 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 Park will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual and
Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial
charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have 
all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added
characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the
basis of  currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and
 improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are included within 
the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management deter-
mines the borrower’s ability to perform in accordance with the contractual 
loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is
 completely charged off.

Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDRs)
Management classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing 
financial difficulties and Park has granted a concession to the borrower as 
part of a modification or in the loan renewal process. In order to determine
whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is per-
formed 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 in accordance with the Company’s internal   
under writing 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 years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 did not
meet the definition of a TDR as the modification was a delay in a payment that
was considered to be insignificant. Management considers a forbearance period
of up to three months or a delay in payment of up to 30 days to be insignificant.
TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a
period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management
expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accor-
dance with the terms of the restructured note. Management reviews all accruing
TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the
modified terms.

Management reviews renewals/modifications of loans previously identified 
as TDRs to consider if it is appropriate to remove the TDR classification. If 
the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty and the renewal/
modification does not contain a concessionary interest rate or other  con -
cessionary terms, management considers the potential removal of the TDR
classification. If deemed appropriate, the TDR classification is removed as the
borrower has complied with the terms of the loan at the date of the renewal/
modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower would
continue to comply with the terms of the loan subsequent to the date of the
renewal/modification. The majority of these TDRs were originally considered
restructurings in a prior year as a result of a renewal/modification with an
 interest rate that was not commensurate with the risk of the underlying loan 
at the time of the renewal/modification. During the years ended December 31,
2014 and 2013, Park removed the TDR classification on $2.5 million and $7.7
million, respectively, of loans that met the requirements discussed above.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were $47.5 million and $76.3 million,
respectively, of TDRs included in the nonaccrual loan totals. At December 31,
2014 and 2013, $15.7 million and $50.6 million of these nonaccrual TDRs
were performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. As 
of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were $16.3 million and $18.8 million,
respectively, of TDRs included in accruing loan totals. Management will con-
tinue to review the restructured loans and may determine it appropriate to
move certain nonaccrual TDRs to accrual status in the future. 

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Park had commitments to lend $1.4 
million and $4.0 million, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers 
whose outstanding loan terms had been modified in a TDR.

The specific reserve related to TDRs at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was 
$2.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively. Modifications made in 2013 and
2014 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 $0.7 million were recorded during the
year ended December 31, 2014, as a result of TDRs identified in the 2014 year.
Additional specific reserves of $1.1 million were recorded during the year
ended December 31, 2013 as a result of TDRs identified in the 2013 year.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the years ended
December 31, 2014 and 2013 that did not meet the definition of a TDR.
Modified/renewed substandard commercial loans which did not meet the
 definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment as of December 31, 2014
and 2013 of $987,000 and $878,000, respectively. The renewal/modification 
of these loans: (1) involved a renewal/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, 2014 and 2013 
of $19.9 million and $24.2 million, respectively. 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
years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as well as the recorded investment
of these contracts at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The recorded investment
pre- and post-modification is generally the same due to the fact that Park does
not typically provide for forgiveness of principal.

Of those loans which were modified and determined to be a TDR during the
year ended December 31, 2014, $0.7 million were on nonaccrual status as 
of December 31, 2013. Of those loans which were modified and determined 
to be a TDR during the year ended December 31, 2013, $5.5 million were 
on nonaccrual status as of December 31, 2012.

The following table presents the recorded investment in financing receivables
which were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months and for which
there was a payment default during the year ended December 31, 2014 
and December 31, 2013. 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 $2.0 million in modified TDRs which defaulted during the year ended
December 31, 2014, $314,000 were accruing loans and $1.7 million were
nonaccrual loans. Of the $7.4 million in modified TDRs which defaulted during
the year ended December 31, 2013, $397,000 were accruing loans and $7.0
million were nonaccrual loans.

Management transfers a loan to OREO at the time that Park takes deed/title of
the asset. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, Park had $22.6 million and $34.6
million, respectively, of OREO.

Certain of the Corporation’s executive officers, directors and related entities 
of directors are loan customers of PNB. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013,
credit exposure aggregating approximately $45.7 million and $49.7 million,
respectively, was outstanding to such parties. Of this total exposure, approxi-
mately $36.0 million and $37.7 million were outstanding at December 31,
2014 and 2013, respectively, with the remaining balance representing available
credit. During 2014, new loans and advances on existing loans were made to
these executive officers, directors and related entities totaling $6.0 million and
$6.4 million, respectively. These extensions of credit were offset by payments 
of $14.1 million. During 2013, new loans and advances on existing loans were
$547,000 and $11.9 million, respectively. These extensions of credit were offset
by payments of $10.0 million.

8. 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
operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other
 pertinent factors as discussed within Note 1 of these Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Management updates historical losses annually in the fourth quarter, or more
frequently as deemed appropriate.

With the inclusion of 2013 net charge-off information, management concluded
that it was no longer appropriate to calculate the historical loss average with an
even allocation across the five-year period. Rather than apply a 20% allocation
to each year in the calculation of the historical annualized loss factor, manage-
ment determined that it was appropriate to more heavily weight those years with
higher losses in the historical loss calculation, given the continued uncertainty

in the current economic environment. Specifically, rather than applying equal
percentages to each year in the historical loss calculation, management applied
more weight to the 2009 through 2011 period compared to the 2012 and 2013
periods. 

With the inclusion of 2014 net charge-off information in the fourth quarter of
2014, management extended the historical loss period to six years. Due to the
same factors that management considered in 2013, management applied more
weight to the 2009 through 2011 periods compared to the 2012 through 2014
periods.

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all
performing loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 eval-

uated for impairment include all impaired loans internally classified as
 commercial loans at December 31, 2014 and 2013, which are evaluated 
for impairment in accordance with GAAP (see Note 1 of these Notes to

On November 30, 2012, Park restructured $300 million in repurchase agree-
ments at a rate of 1.75%. As part of this restructuring, Park paid a prepayment
penalty of $25 million. The penalty is being amortized as an adjustment to inter-
est expense over the remaining term of the repurchase agreements using the
effective interest method, resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.55%. Of the
$25 million prepayment penalty, $14.8 million remained to be amortized as of
December 31, 2014. The remaining amortization will be $5.0 million in 2015,
$5.1 million in 2016 and $4.7 million in 2017.

On November 21, 2014, Park restructured $50 million in FHLB advances at 
a rate of 1.25%. As part of this restructuring, Park paid a prepayment penalty 
of $3.2 million. The penalty is being amortized as an adjustment to interest
expense over the remaining term of the advances using the effective interest
method, resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.52%. Of the $3.2 million
 prepayment penalty, $3.1 million remained to be amortized as of December 
31, 2014. The remaining amortization will be $1.0 million in 2015, $1.1
million in 2016, and $1.0 million in 2017.

Park had approximately $176.2 million of long-term debt at December 31,
2014 with a contractual maturity longer than five years. However, approximately
$150 million of this debt is callable by the issuer in 2015.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, FHLB advances were collateralized by invest-
ment securities owned by PNB’s banking divisions and by various loans pledged
under a blanket agreement by PNB’s banking divisions.

See Note 6 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the 
amount of investment securities that were pledged. See Note 12 of these Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for the amount of commercial real estate
and residential mortgage loans that were pledged to the FHLB at December 31,
2014 and December 31, 2013.

14. SUBORDINATED NOTES
As part of the acquisition of Vision’s parent bank holding company (“Vision
Parent”) on March 9, 2007, Park became the successor to Vision Parent 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 Parent formed a wholly-owned Delaware
 statutory business trust, Vision Bancshares Trust I (“Trust I”), which issued
$15.0 million of Trust I’s floating rate preferred securities (the “Trust Preferred
Securities”) to institutional investors. These Trust Preferred Securities qualify as
Tier I capital under FRB 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, Trust I is not consolidated
with Park’s financial statements, but rather the subordinated notes are reflected
as a liability.

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 were
intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital under applicable rules and regulations 
of the FRB. The 2009 Notes could not be prepaid in any amount prior to
December 23, 2014; however, subsequent to that date, Park could prepay,
without penalty, all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding. Of the
$35.25 million in 2009 Notes, $14.05 million were purchased by related
parties. The 2009 Notes were prepaid in full on December 24, 2014.

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 FRB. Each 2012 Note was purchased at 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 FRB regulations to obtain prior approval from the FRB before making
any prepayment.

15. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
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 Park’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders on April 18, 2005. Under the 2005 Plan, 1,500,000 common
shares were authorized for delivery upon the exercise of incentive stock
options. All of the common shares delivered upon the exercise of incentive
stock options granted under the 2005 Plan were to be treasury shares. The
2005 Plan was terminated on April 22, 2013 and no common shares were
delivered thereunder.

The Park National Corporation 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2013
Incentive Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors of Park on January 
28, 2013 and was approved by Park’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders on April 22, 2013. The 2013 Incentive Plan replaces the 2005
Plan and Park’s Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Park National
Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Directors’ Stock Plan”) which were termi-
nated immediately following the approval of the 2013 Incentive Plan. The 2013
Incentive Plan makes equity-based awards and cash-based awards available for
grant to participants in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock
options, stock appreciations rights, restricted common shares, restricted stock
awards that may be settled in common shares, cash or a combination of the
two, unrestricted common shares and cash-based awards. Under the 2013
Incentive Plan, 600,000 common shares are authorized to be granted. The
common shares to be issued and delivered under the 2013 Incentive Plan 
may consist of either common shares currently held or common shares  sub -
sequently acquired by Park as treasury shares, including common shares
purchased in the open market or in private transactions. No awards may be
made under the 2013 Incentive Plan after April 22, 2023. At December 31,
2014, 557,275 common shares were available for future grants under the 
2013 Incentive Plan. 

During 2014 and 2013, Park granted 10,200 and 10,550 common shares,
respectively, to directors under the 2013 Incentive Plan. The common shares
granted to directors were not subjected to a vesting period and resulted in
expense of $801,000 and $850,000 in 2014 and 2013, respectively, which 
is included in Professional fees and services on the Consolidated Income
Statement.

On January 24, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors 
of Park granted awards of 21,975 performance-based restricted stock units
(“PBRSUs”) to certain employees of Park, which grants were effective on
January 24, 2014. The number of PBRSUs earned or settled will depend on
certain performance conditions and are also subject to service-based vesting.
Share-based compensation expense of $458,000 was recognized in 2014
related to awards to employees. Park expects to recognize additional share-
based compensation expense of approximately $1.2 million through the first
quarter of 2018 related to these PBRSUs. No share-based compensation
expense was recognized in 2013 or 2012 as there were no outstanding 
awards held by employees.

16. 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 generally contributes 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 2013, management contributed $12.6 million, of which $11.0 million
was deductible on the 2012 tax return and $1.6 million was deductible on 
the 2013 tax return. See Note 17 of these Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. There was no pension contribution in 2014 and there is no
 contribution expected in 2015.

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 used to measure the
benefit obligation was 7.25% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. 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 $92.0 million 
and $75.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of the 115,800 common shares
held by the Pension Plan was $10.2 million, or $88.48 per share and $9.9
million, or $85.07 per share, respectively.

The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

The Pension Plan maintains cash in a PNB savings account. The Pension Plan
cash balance was $1.9 million at December 31, 2014.

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 fair value of Pension Plan assets at December 31, 2014 was
$160.6 million. At December 31, 2014, $141.1 million of equity investments
and cash in the Pension Plan were categorized as Level 1 inputs; $19.5 million
of plan investments in corporate (U.S. large cap) and U.S. Government spon-
sored entity bonds were categorized as Level 2 inputs, as fair value was based
on quoted market prices of comparable instruments; and no investments were
categorized as Level 3 inputs. The fair value of Pension Plan assets was $152.7
million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, $128.7 million of
 investments in the Pension Plan were categorized as Level 1 inputs; $24.0
million were categorized as Level 2; and no investments were categorized 
as Level 3.

The Corporation has a voluntary salary deferral plan covering substantially 
all of the employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Eligible employees
may contribute a portion of their compensation subject to a maximum statutory
limitation. The Corporation provides a matching contribution established
 annually by the Corporation. Contribution expense for the Corporation was 
$1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.0 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012,
 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 $7.6 million and $6.8 million for
2014 and 2013, respectively. The expense for the Corporation was $0.2 
million for 2014, $0.2 million for 2013 and $0.3 million for 2012.

17. 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. Management has
 determined that it is not required to establish a valuation allowance against 
the December 31, 2014 or 2013 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.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably
affect the effective income tax rate in the future periods at December 31, 2014,
2013 and 2012 was $$413,000, $403,000 and $404,000, 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 on unrecog-
nized tax benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended
December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $(500) and $4,500, respectively. There 
was no expense related to interest and penalties for the year ending 2014. 
The amount accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2014, 2013
and 2012 was $67,000, $67,000 and $67,500, respectively.

Park and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax and income 
tax in various state jurisdictions. The Corporation is subject to routine audits 
of tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and states in which we conduct
business. No material adjustments have been made on closed federal and 
state tax audits. All tax years ending prior to December 31, 2011 are closed 
to examination by the federal and state taxing authorities.

On January 24, 2014, Park awarded 21,975 performance-based restricted stock
units (“PBRSUs”) to certain employees. The PBRSUs vest based on service and
performance conditions. The dilutive effect of the PBRSUs was the addition of
18,861 common shares for the year ended December 31, 2014.

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. The warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares issued under the
CPP were included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share
for the year ended December 31, 2012 as the dilutive effect of this warrant was
1,063 common shares for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012.
The exercise price of the CPP warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares
was $65.97.

All options under Park’s 2005 Plan had expired by December 31, 2012. 
The common shares represented by the options for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2012, totaling 63,308, were not included in the computation of
diluted earnings per common share because the exercise price exceeded the
fair value of the underlying common shares such that their inclusion would
have had an anti-dilutive effect.

20. 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, 2014,
approximately $86.7 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.

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

The Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk 
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include loan commitments and standby letters of
credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and inter-
est rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial
statements.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments and standby letters
of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The
Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and condi-
tional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the
loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment
amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit
risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved 
in extending loan commitments to customers.

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

December 31 (In thousands)

Loan commitments

Standby letters of credit

2014

$885,052

12,473

2013

$821,795

20,590

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 eco-
nomic conditions in each borrower’s geographic location and industry.

22. LOAN SERVICING
Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1,265 million at December 31, 2014,
compared to $1,326 million at December 31, 2013 and $1,311 million at
December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2014, $7.0 million of the sold mortgage
loans were sold with recourse compared to $10.7 million at December 31,
2013. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage
loans sold with recourse. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, management 
had established a reserve of $379,000 and $1.0 million, respectively, 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
 amortized on an individual sold loan basis. When a sold mortgage loan 
is paid off, the related mortgage servicing rights are fully amortized.

The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $9.1 million and $9.5 million at
December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The fair value of mortgage servicing
rights at December 31, 2014 was established using a discount rate of 10% and
constant prepayment speeds ranging from 5.7% to 22.3%. The fair value of
mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 2013 was established using a dis-
count rate of 10% and constant prepayment speeds ranging from 6.6% to
22.5%.

Servicing fees included in other service income were $3.5 million, $3.6 million
and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012,
respectively.

23. FAIR VALUE
The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable
inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:
(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” 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 typically based on the fair value
of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third-party appraisals
or internal estimates of collateral values in accordance with Park’s valuation
requirements per its commercial and real estate loan policies.

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

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at 
the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value have been
partially charged-off or receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan
losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is generally based on real
estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach 
or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income
approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the 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.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2014 or 2013.
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 Company in
 determining fair value of the financial assets and liabilities discussed above:

Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on
quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not avail-
able, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
The Fair Value Measurements tables exclude Park’s FHLB stock and FRB stock.
These assets are carried at their respective redemption values, as it is not prac-
ticable to calculate their fair values. For securities where quoted prices or
market prices of similar securities are not available, which include municipal
securities, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows.

Fair value swap: The fair value of the swap agreement entered into with the
purchaser of the Visa Class B shares represents an internally developed estimate
of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Commitments (IRLCs): IRLCs are based on
current  secondary market pricing and are classified as Level 2.

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

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

(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% is based on historical discounts
to appraised values on sold OREO properties.

(cid:0) Income approach appraisals typically incorporate the annual net operat-
ing income of the business divided by an appropriate capitalization rate,
as determined by the appraiser. Management generally applies a 15%
 discount to income approach appraised values which management
expects will cover all disposition costs (including selling costs).
(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.

The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on 
a nonrecurring basis. Collateral dependent impaired loans are carried at fair
value if they have been charged down to fair value or if a specific valuation
allowance has been established. A new cost basis is established at the time a
property is initially recorded in OREO. OREO properties are carried at fair value
if a devaluation has been taken to the property’s value subsequent to the initial
measurement.

nonrecurring basis:

The expense of credit adjustments related to impaired loans carried at fair value
for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $3.0 million, $8.1
million, and $16.0 million, respectively.

MSRs totaled $8.6 million at December 31, 2014. Of this $8.6 million MSR
 carrying balance, $2.9 million was recorded at fair value and included a  val -
uation allowance of $0.8 million. The remaining $5.7 million was recorded 
at cost, as the fair value exceeded cost at December 31, 2014. At December 
31, 2013, MSRs totaled $9.0 million. Of this $9.0 million MSR carrying balance,
$2.3 million was recorded at fair value and included a valuation allowance of
$1.0 million. The remaining $6.7 million was recorded at cost, as the fair value
exceeded cost at December 31, 2013. Income (Expense) related to MSRs
carried at fair value for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
was $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $(1.3) million, respectively.

Total OREO held by Park at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $22.6 million
and $34.6 million, respectively. Approximately 46% and 53% of OREO held 
by Park at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was carried at fair 
value due to fair value adjustments made subsequent to the initial OREO
 measurement. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, OREO held at fair value, 
less estimated selling costs, amounted to $10.3 million and $18.5 million,
respectively. The net expense related to OREO fair value adjustments was 
$2.4 million, $3.2 million and $6.9 million for the years ended December 
31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 analy-
ses, based upon interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar
terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The methods utilized to estimate
fair value do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for the Corporation’s loan com-
mitments 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 notes: Fair values for subordinated  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.

Failure to meet the minimum requirements above could cause the FRB to take
action. PNB is also subject to the capital requirements of its primary regulator,
the OCC. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, Park and PNB were well-capital-
ized 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.

25. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Corporation is a financial holding company headquartered in Newark,
Ohio. The operating segments for the Corporation are its chartered national
bank subsidiary, PNB (headquartered in Newark, Ohio), SEPH and GFSC.

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: (i) discrete financial information is available
for each operating segment and (ii) the segments are aligned with internal
reporting to Park’s Chief Executive Officer and President, who is the chief
 operating decision maker.

26. PARENT COMPANY STATEMENTS
The Parent Company statements should be read in conjunction with the  con -
solidated 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 PNB. Net cash provided 
by operating activities reflects cash payments (received from subsidiaries) 
for income taxes of $5.81 million, $2.54 million and $4.54 million in 2014,
2013 and 2012, respectively.

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, shareholders’ equity reflected in the 
Parent Company balance sheet includes $197.9 million and $196.0 million,
respectively, of undistributed earnings of the Corporation’s subsidiaries which
are restricted from transfer as dividends to the Corporation.

27. PARTICIPATION IN THE U.S. TREASURY 
CAPITAL PURCHASE PROGRAM (CPP)

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”), associated with Park’s participa-
tion 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”).

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.
