2021 Annual Report

Where you mean more.

Park National Bank is a family of successful community 

banking teams that take a hands-on, personalized approach to 

service and strong local leadership. For more than 100 years, 

we have been invested in the success of our customers and 

communities.

Seeing you as the unique person or business you are, our goal 

is to deliver more than you expect from a bank. Our size and 

strength allow us to deliver flexible, secure banking options 

and convenience with extensive branch and ATM coverage.

At the same time, we retain the local leadership, decision- 

making, and face-to-face relationships we were built upon. 

Each banking division is led by local professionals committed 

to providing extraordinary service, community support and 

excellent financial performance.

Fellow Shareholders:

One thing we’ve learned during the pandemic is that in uncertain 

times, people value predictability. To that end, we start our annual letter 

to you as we typically do, with our FAV O R I T E   N U M B E R S:

Readers will recall we like the first four numbers to increase and the last one to 

decrease. We were four for five last year, or in baseball parlance, we batted .800. If we 

were baseball players, this would guarantee us Mariano Rivera status: a unanimous, 

first-ballot hall-of-fame vote (the only one so far). In banking, hitting four of our five 

FAV O R I T E   N U M B E R S  guarantees that we want to continue our good work with 

the four and do better on the fifth.

It seems every year we must explain “what really happened” behind our financial 

results. The “what really happened” stuff typically consists of unusual items, 

unexpected events, et cetera. We will resist turning this entire report into an 

apologia, but our sense is we may not be alone in feeling the urge to unpack our 

performance in the face of another strange year. Kelly Herreman (Chief Accounting 

Officer) and Brady Burt (Chief Financial Officer) have prepared a succinct 2020-2021 

comparison, clearly identifying unusual items so the reader may better understand 

our core performance year over year. You will find it in Table 27 — Items impacting 
comparability in our Form 10-K.

In late 2019 and throughout 2020, we announced as part of our brand unification 

that we would coalesce around the idea of S E R V I N G   M O R E. It was a way to 

capture and articulate what has always been in our DNA. We live and love to serve, 

and serving more is a natural answer to the question, “How do we help everyone with 

whom we come in contact flourish on their journey?”

In light of our desire to serve more, we offer the following: 

•

    What we expected to happen in 2021
•    

What we didn’t see coming

•

•

    What went well

    What we can improve upon

Background

Writer and editor Clifton Fadiman, once observed, “When you reread a classic you 

do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you (our emphasis) 

than there was before.”

We would not get any votes for calling the COVID-19 pandemic a “classic”; there is 

simply too much pain and division for that. But, having read the COVID-19 book in 

2020, we were different people when rereading it in 2021. Park Bankers saw more in 

themselves. Pivots became sidesteps, strategic shifts became course corrections 

and setbacks became stepping stones for more personal and professional growth.

Simply put, things that rocked us in 2020 did not rock us as much in 2021.

The description above suggests that 2021 was a cakewalk. Far from it. Absent our 

colleagues’ innate desire to serve more — animated by their imagination, energy and 

brilliance, 2021 could have been a debacle. But it wasn’t. Here’s what it was.

What we expected  
to happen in 2021

Our C O M M U N I T Y   S U P P O R T did not waver. We supported 1,431 organizations, 

making contributions totaling $4.5 million. We also supplied countless volunteer 

hours to our community friends when and how we could. It was a breathtaking 

example of serving more. 

In 2020, we introduced our PA R K D I R E C T   A P P. It proved a valuable connection 

point for customers and their Park Bankers when in-person possibilities were severely 

restricted in COVID’s early days. We expected it to grow in popularity in 2021 and it 

did. It has become a portal through which people obtain loans, open accounts, renew 

CDs and share important life milestones (one of our Park Bankers, Barb Schopp Miller, 

helped two customers to such a degree that she was invited to their wedding!). Talk 

about a full-service banker and bank...

We expected to start seeing some R E T U R N S   O N   O U R   T E C H N O LO G Y 

I N V E S T M E N T S. These typically come in the form of efficiency gains, a better 

customer/user experience or some combination of the two. We have spent a lot of 

money in the past two years on technology; here are some specific wins:

ATMs
We replaced 103 of our 116 ATMs. This required a great deal of planning across 

multiple functions. The new machines are much more intuitive and include large 

color touch-screens. Users can set-up their preferences so any ATM they use in

the Park family will recognize how they wish to be served 

(language, specific amount of money, and more).

Mortgage Software
We partnered with Blend to improve our mortgage application and approval 

process. Here’s what Chris Hiner, Director of Home Lending, reports:

“Implementing the Blend software has been transformative 
in many ways. It has improved the customer experience by 
automating the retrieval of information required for the loan 
process such as income, asset and insurance documentation.  
It allows lenders to focus more time on relationship development 
and finding solutions for our borrowers and prospects.”

In addition, Blend has helped shave 25% off the time between application and 

closing.

It was clear Kyle cared about me as a new customer. 
I loved that.”

“Implementing the Blend© software has been transformative

In addition, Blend© has helped shave 25% off the time between application and

Electronic document signatures 
We began using electronic methods to execute documents in 2020 with the 

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). We expanded this capability in 2021, and are 

looking for more ways to simplify loan closings, deposit account openings, and 

trust document execution in 2022. It is more convenient for customers and saves 

steps for all involved.

Electronic contracts 
Our indirect loan colleagues work with over 500 automobile, boat and RV dealers. 

We began introducing electronic contracts, which will greatly improve the speed 

and accuracy of making and administering indirect loans.

Anyone who bought gasoline, milk, hamburger, 2x4s, steel, diapers, etc. throughout 

2021 knew prices were going up. Thus, we expected I N F L AT I O N  to show up at 

some point; we did not expect it to show up as late as it did. Anyone who has taken 

an intro economics course remembers that over time, the law of supply and demand 

is undefeated. Short supplies, coupled with similar or increasing demand = higher 

prices. Add to this the unprecedented tsunami of liquidity flooding individuals, 

businesses and municipalities…well, inflation would show up at some point.

Normally when inflation arrives, it brings with it higher interest rates and a steeper 

yield curve. This also comes from intro economics. However, most intro economics 

courses with which we are familiar do not contemplate extraordinary pandemic-

inflamed liquidity measures and/or a federal deficit that is roughly the size of a small 

moon. It is anyone’s guess as to when rates will move, by how much and in what

manner (i.e., a parallel yield curve shift or a steepening). So we 

won’t try; but be assured your bank is positioned to deal with 

whatever happens to rates and when.

Park Bankers — again —  S H O W E D   E Q U A N I M I T Y  in the face of 

distractions, fears and loss. Park National Bank has been around for more than 100 

years (some of us nearly half of that). We have seen a lot, and our colleagues have 

seen much as well. This cumulative life experience, coupled with our unifying desire 

to serve more, builds a strong foundation of perspective, perseverance and patience. 

These qualities augmented our colleagues’ innate courage and resilience. We know 

people are stressed; we are too. But the Park family said in one voice, “Come in from 

the dark and rain. Sit by the fire. Let us serve you. We will get through this together.” 

We comforted people who were looking for a glimpse of humanity and empathy 

in an increasingly discordant world. We opened accounts, we originated loans, we 

untangled financial hairballs…sometimes in person, more often through some form of 

digital connection ennobled by a Park Banker.

We are humbled and honored to work with our Park colleagues — they combine 

technical skill with human compassion to great effect for those we serve. 

What we didn’t  
see coming

We thought we would suffer some C R E D I T   LO S S E S in 2021. We were not 

alone; nearly the entire industry was expecting the same. Turns out, we had net loan 

R E C O V E R I E S.

We did not expect D E P O S I T S   T O   C O N T I N U E   I N C R E A S I N G. We thought 

they would decline as consumers and businesses spent what they’d saved during the 

lockdowns. Yet deposits kept flowing in (and we’re not complaining).

We did not see E X T E N D E D   S U P P LY- C H A I N  I N T E R R U P T I O N S. Early on, 

experts dismissed these as short-term anomalies. Plenty of our business customers 

told us otherwise, as their order lead times kept extending through the year. We won’t 

opine as to who or what is to blame; the world has enough finger-pointers. We believe 

manufacturers, distributors, retailers and individuals will respond to interruptions and 

our economy will find a new sense of balance…but it may take a while.

We expected most of our Park family colleagues who were able to work remotely 

beginning in March 2020 to be B AC K   I N   O U R   O F F I C E S. This has not happened 

yet. It is a bit strange to witness and/or attend sporting and community events 

that host hundreds or thousands of people, yet folks still find themselves working 

remotely. Fortunately, our colleagues are focused on serving each other and our

customers; their location (in office or remotely) does not hold 

them back.

What went well

Indirect loans
We have told you before that we have a talented indirect lending team. They turned 

in another excellent year, originating 30,655 indirect loans for $685 million. We now 

have over 100,000 indirect loans on our books.

Collection efforts
If one begins with the premise that a borrower wants to make his/her payment, but 

can’t, it changes the entire conversation. No longer is one a “delinquent.” Each person 

has a story unique to him/her. Our specialists view each person who hasn’t paid by 

the due date as just that…someone who has not made a payment by the agreed 

upon due date. The great majority of folks want to pay on time and we work with 

them to reestablish a reasonable way for them to get back to doing just that. Last 

year’s results reflect our collection team’s success. Throughout the year, the average 

monthly delinquency rate dropped from 1.35% to 0.73% on mortgages and from 

0.24% to 0.18% for installment loans in 2021 compared to 2020.

Retail flexibility
We have followed the CDC protocols throughout the pandemic. Consequently, when 

some of our branch colleagues fell ill, or were in contact with someone who was, 

they had to quarantine. Sometimes this left some branches thinly staffed. Our retail 

colleagues were relentless about keeping offices open, recalibrating branch teams 

around quarantines and illness. The great majority of the time, they succeeded. But 

customers and other guests to those offices may have seen new faces and wondered 

what was going on. 

Associate survey
The Park family is a wonderful collection of unique people, doing their best to serve 

more. We are a better organization when we get everyone’s ideas on how to improve 

everything we do. Thus, we have regularly surveyed our colleagues to find out what 

they’re thinking. Here are some facts about our most recent survey:

•
    85% participation
•
    Over 3,000 comments
•
    People care enough to tell us the truth about what’s working and what’s not.  

Here is a partial list of what we changed as a result of what we learned:

─   We raised our minimum wage.

Park has

$5.1 million in

─   We paid bonuses to all associates.

─   We implemented flexible work arrangements.

─   We conducted an additional survey, specifically on benefits.

─   We opened new lines of communication through “open office” hours during 

which any associate could hear various leaders discuss a wide range of 

topics.

─   We created and have sustained a diversity, equity and inclusion task force.

•

    We asked because we want to know how our colleagues perceive their role(s) in 

the Park family. Two primary components of operating with an outward mindset 

are A) question your own virtue (i.e., I’m not right all the time), and B) I have blind 

spots that others can illuminate…if I would only ask. And we asked…

PPP loan forgiveness process

•

•

    Submitted 6,854 repayment requests to the SBA or 89% of the 7,701 total PPP 

loans originated.

    Repayments totaled $693.1 million or 91% of the $764.7 million PPP loans 

funded under the SBA program.

Associate care
We continued to help colleagues with WHOL E  LIF E IS SUES. For a number of 

years, Park has matched our colleagues’ contributions to our Dependent Care 

Assistance Program (DCAP) and our Employees Stock Ownership Program (ESOP). 

Since 2006, Park has matched $5.1 million in the DCAP and $31.9 million in the ESOP. 

Also since 2006, dividends on PRK common shares owned by Park colleagues in the 

ESOP have totaled $52 million.

What we can 
improve upon

We have written and spoken a lot about how we try to operate with an outward 

mindset — to see others as people rather than as objects. Individually and 

collectively, Park Bankers have made great progress towards operating with an 

outward mindset. Our work will continue, as maximizing the time we operate with an 

outward mindset will reduce self-deception and blind spots to serving colleagues and 

customers more.

    Deposit account opening (simplify and make it more intuitive)

Tools for our colleagues 
Readers know how much we value our colleagues. Great colleagues deserve the best 

tools. Here’s a partial list of what we’re working on to better equip our colleagues in

2022:
•

    Consumer and commercial loan origination systems (improve process for 

gathering required information to originate and administer consumer and 

commercial loans.)

    Bank Secrecy Act verification, analytics, and reporting (more sophisticated 

analytical tools to spot fraud, money laundering, elder financial abuse, etc.)

    Enterprise data warehouse (capture data from many sources into one place, 

saving untold steps, emails, calls and special reports.)

    Business intelligence/data science (help us spot trends and themes in our data.)

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)

“Seeing an equal person as an inferior object is an act of violence.” 

— The Anatomy of Peace, The Arbinger Institute

Various investors and regulators have sharpened their focus on ESG matters 

recently and we think this is good. Years ago, Park’s leaders identified a number of 

O N L I N E   B A N K I N G

stakeholders we serve: customers, colleagues, communities, partners, shareholders, 

boards and regulators. Serve one to the exclusion of the others and the result will be 

an unsustainable imbalance. 

We think of all our stakeholders as part of the Park family. We are all part of a web 

of connectivity, like a spider’s web. If you touch one part of the web, the impact of 

that touch ripples through the entire web. So it is with Park family members. We are 

C U S T O M E R   C A R E

inescapably and wonderfully intertwined. We must balance our service to all family 

10

members to prolong our existence so we may continue to 

serve more.

How do we do this? We attempt to operate — individually and collectively 

— with an outward mindset as much as possible. Quoting from prior letters:

“…people should see others as people — each with hopes, 
dreams and challenges — not as objects (stepping stones, 
obstacles or irrelevancies). When we see each other as people 
(an “outward” mindset), we do things for them. When we see 
others as objects (an “inward” mindset), we do things to them.”

We exist to help (our) stakeholders thrive. This is our “Why we 
do what we do.” We believe if we help these groups achieve 
their goals, we will maximize our potential for service to all.

©The Outward Mindset  
by The Arbinger Institute

Our mindset informs which behaviors we choose and the effectiveness of those 

behaviors. Behaviors drive results.

Taking care of the environment, honoring social issues and practicing good 

governance are all behaviors. We have done these things for years, because our 

mindset begins with seeing others as people, not as objects. Does this mean we can’t 

improve? Of course not. One of the benefits of operating with an outward mindset is 

that it strips away layers of prejudice, justification and rationalization so issues and 

situations can be seen more clearly. We examine our world, the impact of our mindset 

and behaviors on our stakeholders and when we see areas where we can improve, we 
act. This is an ongoing process of action ▶ result ▶ reflection ▶ recalibration ▶ repeat. 
Our goal is to help everyone with whom we come in contact flourish to the extent 

their talent, energy and ambition permit.

Welcome to  
new neighbors

On January 21, 2022, Intel announced it was going to build a new chip manufacturing 

facility in western Licking County, Ohio. The press release stated that Intel anticipates 

spending $20 billion and the plant will employ 3,000. It goes on to say a facility of 

this size requires an ecosystem of suppliers and related businesses, the total of 

which might run into the hundreds. Intel’s decision will transform Ohio, as much or 

more than Honda’s Marysville, Ohio facility did in 1979. It will positively impact the 

trajectory of countless people for generations.

The new plant will be less than 20 miles from our headquarters in Newark, Ohio.  

11

We will do all we can — as we do for all new neighbors — to welcome Intel associates 

to the community. As we write this, Intel folks (and everyone else) can download our 

ParkDirect app, choose a Park Banker (no account relationship required) and ask for 

help with everything from schools, to doctors, to babysitters. All inquiries receive a 

warm welcome, an eager attitude and an empathetic ear!

50 years (plus!)

On June 30, 2021, C. Daniel DeLawder retired from active service. He began his 

career at Park on March 21, 1971. At the time, the bank had seven offices and  

$90 million in assets. 

Over 50 years, Dan was instrumental in leading Park through multiple expansions, 

acquisitions and organic growth. This is interesting, as Dan had no aspirations to 

be a banker. He studied to be a teacher. A chance meeting with Jerry S. Nethers led 

Dan to work at Park. He approached his unexpected journey as he has everything 

— exhaustive planning, unbounded energy and a sense of duty born in his days as 

an Eagle Scout. These qualities, amplified by a passion to serve, have put Dan in 

leadership positions wherever he’s been. A partial list includes: United Way chair, 

Rotary president, Ohio University board of trustees chair, Ohio Bankers League chair, 

and Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland board member. Although Dan’s professional 

resume is impressive enough, our sense is that he would cite his marriage to Diane, 

their children Sara (Tom), and Matt (Sarah), and their three grandchildren as his best 

achievements. Dan and Diane have modeled affection, love and service to us and 

countless others over their 44+ years together (they are also wicked-good dancers).

Fortunately, Dan is still with us, serving as the Chair of our Executive Committee and 

Chair of Park National Bank’s Trust Committee. And he continues his community 

leadership, adding energy and vision to local development projects that simply would 

not happen without his unique ability to paint a picture of possibility, assemble a 

group to work on the picture and raise the funds to make it a reality. Now he has a bit 

more time to hike and walk with Diane, visit their grandchildren and ride his beloved 

Harley.

New voices 
on the board

For some time, our board’s Nominating/Corporate Governance committee 

(led by its gifted chair, Donna M. Alvarado) has been reviewing potential board 

candidates. Last year, it found two — Dr. Frederic Bertley and D. Byrd Miller III — who 

will widen our view of the world and enrich our deliberations on how we may serve 

more. If you read the press releases that announced their selections by the board, 

you know we have added two people who have accomplished much, and done so in 

ways that honor service to fellow human beings. We welcome both and look forward 

to learning from them as the years pass.

Gone too soon

In the span of five weeks — near the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022 — we lost 

four devoted colleagues. Throughout the year, other colleagues and a number of 

customers lost loved ones and/or endured the pain and anxiety of illness. The two 

observations below have helped us navigate the fog of loss. They may not help you…

but they might. We recite them here on the chance that if one person finds them 

useful, it is worth everyone else questioning why we included them. Importantly, you 

should grieve in a way that suits you; there is no right or wrong way.

•

•

    After a particularly painful personal loss years ago, a wise friend said, “Don’t ask 

why? Or why now?...rather, ask, “What does this permit me to do, see or think 

that I could not have done, seen or thought before?” 

    Another wise person, Jim Steen (retired Kenyon College swimming coach), in a 

eulogy said the following: “It would be as wrong to go on without remembering 

as it would be to remember without going on.”

13

So in the midst of pain and loss, we will remember, and we will go on. We will keep 

those who are gone and their families in our thoughts and prayers. 

Final Thoughts

We have covered a lot of ground in this letter. We applaud your endurance and 

appreciate your patience if you’ve made it this far. We close by thanking our Park 

colleagues who have moved on to their next chapter and by welcoming our new 

colleagues to the Park family. All of us are united in our desire to serve more.  

Please let us know where, when and how we may serve you and/or your family.
