ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
PART I
Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.®, a Texas corporation (the “Company”), was formed in 1983 as a vehicle to acquire the former
Allied Bank in Edna, Texas which was chartered in 1949 as The First National Bank of Edna and is now known as Prosperity Bank.
The Company is a registered financial holding company that derives substantially all of its revenues and income from the operation of
its bank subsidiary, Prosperity Bank® (“Prosperity Bank®” or the “Bank”). The Bank provides a broad line of financial products and
services to small and medium-sized businesses and consumers. As of December 31, 2012, the Bank operated two hundred thirteen
(213) full service banking locations; fifty-nine (59) in the Houston area; twenty (20) in the South Texas area including Corpus Christi
and Victoria; thirty-five (35) in the Dallas/Fort Worth area; twenty-one (21) in the East Texas area; thirty-four (34) in the Central
Texas area including Austin and San Antonio; thirty-four (34) in the West Texas area including Lubbock, Midland-Odessa and
Abilene; and ten (10) in the Bryan/College Station area. The Company added a net of two (2) banking centers in Tyler, TX in
connection with its acquisition of East Texas Financial Services (“East Texas”) on January 1, 2013, after consolidations. The
Company’s headquarters are located at Prosperity Bank Plaza, 4295 San Felipe in Houston, Texas and its telephone number is
(713) 693-9300. The Company’s website address is www.prosperitybanktx.com.
The Company’s market consists of the communities served by its banking centers. The diverse nature of the economies in each
local market served by the Company provides the Company with a varied customer base and allows the Company to spread its lending
risk throughout a number of different industries including professional service firms and their principals, manufacturing, tourism,
recreation, petrochemicals, farming and ranching. The Company’s market areas outside of Houston, Dallas, Corpus Christi, San
Antonio and Austin are dominated by either small community banks or branches of large regional banks. Management believes that
the Company, as one of the few mid-sized financial institutions that combines responsive community banking with the sophistication
of a regional bank holding company, has a competitive advantage in its market areas and excellent growth opportunities through
acquisitions, including acquisitions of failed financial institutions, new banking center locations and additional business development.
Operating under a community banking philosophy, the Company seeks to develop broad customer relationships based on
service and convenience while maintaining its conservative approach to lending and sound asset quality. The Company has grown
through a combination of internal growth, the acquisition of community banks and branches of banks and the opening of new banking
centers. Utilizing a low cost of funds and employing stringent cost controls, the Company has been profitable in every year of its
existence, including the periods of adverse economic conditions in Texas in the late 1980s and more recently in 2009 and 2010. From
1988 to 1992 as a sound and profitable institution, the Company took advantage of this economic downturn and acquired the deposits
and certain assets of failed banks in West Columbia, El Campo and Cuero, Texas and two failed banks in Houston, which diversified
the Company’s franchise and increased its core deposits. The Company opened a full-service banking center in Victoria, Texas in
1993 and the following year established a banking center in Bay City, Texas. The Company expanded its Bay City presence in 1996
with the acquisition of an additional branch location from Norwest Bank Texas (now Wells Fargo), and in 1997, the Company
acquired the Angleton, Texas branch of Wells Fargo Bank. In 1998, the Company enhanced its West Columbia Banking Center with
the purchase of a commercial bank branch located in West Columbia and acquired Union State Bank in East Bernard, Texas. In 2008,
the Company again took advantage of the economic downturn and acquired approximately $3.6 billion in deposits and certain assets
of Franklin Bank headquartered in Houston, Texas from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as receiver. In 2010,
the Company further expanded its presence with the acquisition of twenty-two (22) banking centers through two separate branch
acquisition transactions. These transactions significantly increased the Company’s presence in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

Officers and Associates
The Company’s directors and officers are important to the Company’s success and play a key role in the Company’s business
development efforts by actively participating in civic and public service activities in the communities served by the Company.
The Company has invested heavily in its officers and associates by recruiting talented officers in its market areas and providing
them with economic incentives in the form of stock-based compensation and bonuses based on cross-selling performance. The senior
management team has substantial experience in the Houston, Dallas, Austin, Bryan/College Station, East Texas, Corpus Christi, San
Antonio and West Texas markets and the surrounding communities in which the Company has a presence. Each banking center
location is administered by a local president or manager with knowledge of the community and lending expertise in the specific
industries found in the community. The Company entrusts its banking center presidents and managers with authority and flexibility
within general parameters with respect to product pricing and decision making in order to avoid the bureaucratic structure of larger
banks. The Company operates each banking center as a separate profit center, maintaining separate data with respect to each banking
center’s net interest income, efficiency ratio, deposit growth, loan growth and overall profitability. Banking center presidents and
managers are accountable for performance in these areas and compensated accordingly. The Company’s local banking centers have no
1-800 telephone numbers. Each banking center has its own listed local business telephone number. Customers are served by a local
banker with decision making authority.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company and the Bank had 2,266 full-time equivalent associates, 817 of whom were officers of
the Bank. The Company provides medical and hospitalization insurance to its full-time associates. The Company considers its
relations with associates to be good. Neither the Company nor the Bank is a party to any collective bargaining agreement.
Banking Activities
The Company, through the Bank, offers a variety of traditional loan and deposit products to its customers, which consist
primarily of consumers and small and medium-sized businesses. The Bank tailors its products to the specific needs of customers in a
given market. At December 31, 2012, the Bank maintained approximately 489,000 separate deposit accounts including certificates of
deposit, 45,000 separate loan accounts and 25.9% of the Bank’s total deposits were noninterest-bearing demand deposits. For the year
ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s average cost of funds was 0.37% and the Company’s average cost of deposits (excluding
all borrowings) was 0.35%.
The Company has been an active real estate lender, with commercial real estate and 1-4 family residential loans comprising
35.9% and 24.2% of the Company’s total loans as of December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company also offers commercial loans,
loans for automobiles and other consumer durables, home equity loans, debit cards, internet banking and other cash management
services, mobile banking, trust and wealth management, retail brokerage services and automated telephone banking. By offering
certificates of deposit, interest checking accounts, savings accounts and overdraft protection at competitive rates, the Company gives
its depositors a full range of traditional deposit products.
The businesses targeted by the Company in its lending efforts are primarily those that require loans in the $100 thousand to $8.0
million range. The Company offers these businesses a broad array of loan products including term loans, lines of credit and loans for
working capital, business expansion and the purchase of equipment and machinery, interim construction loans for builders and owner-
occupied commercial real estate loans.
The Company also maintains a trust department with $896 million in assets under management as of December 31, 2012,
acquired in connection with the ASB acquisition. The trust department provides personal trust services and presently operates in the
Company’s West Texas area.
Business Strategies
The Company’s main objective is to increase deposits and loans internally, as well as through additional expansion opportunities
and acquisitions, while maintaining efficiency and individualized customer service and maximizing profitability. To achieve this
objective, the Company has employed the following strategic goals:
Continue Community Banking Emphasis. The Company intends to continue operating as a community banking organization
focused on meeting the specific needs of consumers and small and medium-sized businesses in its market areas. The Company
provides a high degree of responsiveness combined with a wide variety of banking products and services. The Company staffs its
banking centers with experienced bankers with lending expertise in the specific industries found in the given community, and gives
them authority to make certain pricing and credit decisions, avoiding the bureaucratic structure of larger banks.
4
Expand Market Share Through Internal Growth and a Disciplined Acquisition Strategy. The Company intends to continue
seeking opportunities, both inside and outside its existing markets, to expand either by acquiring existing banks or branches of banks,
including FDIC assisted purchases, or by establishing new banking centers. All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accretive to
earnings within 12 months after acquisition date and generally have supplied the Company with relatively low-cost deposits which
have been used to fund the Company’s lending and investing activities. However, the Company makes no guarantee that future
acquisitions, if any, will be accretive to earnings within any particular time period. Factors used by the Company to evaluate
expansion opportunities include (i) the similarity in management and operating philosophies, (ii) whether the acquisition will be
accretive to earnings and enhance shareholder value, (iii) the ability to improve the efficiency ratio through economies of scale,
(iv) whether the acquisition will strategically expand the Company’s geographic footprint, and (v) the opportunity to enhance the
Company’s market presence in existing market areas.
Increase Loan Volume and Diversify Loan Portfolio. While maintaining its conservative approach to lending, the Company has
emphasized both new and existing loan products, focusing on managing its commercial real estate and commercial loan portfolios.
The Company’s loan portfolio increased $1.41 billion during 2012 of which approximately $1.27 billion was the result of four
acquisitions completed during the year. During the one year period from December 31, 2011 to December 31, 2012, the Company’s
commercial and industrial loans increased from $406.4 million to $771.1 million, or 89.7%, and represented 10.8% and 14.9% of the
total portfolio, respectively for the same period. Commercial real estate increased from $1.35 billion to $1.85 billion, or 37.1%, and
represented 35.9% of the total portfolio, for both periods. In addition, the Company targets professional service firms, including legal
and medical practices, for both loans secured by owner-occupied premises and personal loans to their principals.
Maintain Sound Asset Quality. The Company continues to maintain the sound asset quality that has been representative of its
historical loan portfolio. As the Company continues to diversify and increase its lending activities and acquire loans in acquisitions, it
may face higher risks of nonpayment and increased risks in the event of continued economic downturns. The Company intends to
continue to employ the strict underwriting guidelines and comprehensive loan review process that have contributed to its low
incidence of nonperforming assets and its minimal charge-offs in relation to its size.
Continue Focus on Efficiency. The Company plans to maintain its stringent cost control practices and policies. The Company
has invested significantly in the infrastructure required to centralize many of its critical operations, such as data processing and loan
processing. For its banking centers, which the Company operates as independent profit centers, the Company supplies complete
support in the areas of loan review, internal audit, compliance and training. Management believes that this centralized infrastructure
can accommodate additional growth while enabling the Company to minimize operational costs through economies of scale.
Enhance Cross-Selling. The Company recognizes that its customer base provides significant opportunities to cross-sell various
products and it seeks to develop broader customer relationships by identifying cross-selling opportunities. The Company uses
incentives and friendly competition to encourage cross-selling efforts and increase cross-selling results among its associates. Officers
and associates have access to each customer’s existing and related account relationships and are better able to inform customers of
additional products when customers visit or call the various banking centers or use their drive-in facilities. In addition, the Company
includes product information in monthly statements and other mailings.
Competition
The banking business is highly competitive, and the profitability of the Company depends principally on its ability to compete in
its market areas. The Company competes with other commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions,
finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage and investment banking firms, asset-based nonbank lenders and
certain other nonfinancial entities, including retail stores which may maintain their own credit programs and certain governmental
organizations which may offer more favorable financing than the Company. The Company believes it has been able to compete
effectively with other financial institutions by emphasizing customer service, technology and responsive decision-making with respect
to loans, by establishing long-term customer relationships and building customer loyalty and by providing products and services
designed to address the specific needs of its customers.
Supervision and Regulation
The supervision and regulation of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries is intended primarily for the protection of
depositors, the Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC and the banking system as a whole, and not for the protection of the bank
holding company’s shareholders or creditors. The banking agencies have broad enforcement power over bank holding companies and
banks including the power to impose substantial fines and other penalties for violations of laws and regulations.
The following description summarizes some of the laws to which the Company and the Bank are subject. References in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K to applicable statutes and regulations are brief summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete, and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations.
The Company
5
The Company is a financial holding company pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and a bank holding company registered
under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”). Accordingly, the Company is subject to supervision,
regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”). The Gramm-Leach-
Bliley Act, the BHCA and other federal laws subject financial and bank holding companies to particular restrictions on the types of
activities in which they may engage, and to a range of supervisory requirements and activities, including regulatory enforcement
actions for violations of laws and regulations.
Regulatory Restrictions on Dividends. The Company is regarded as a legal entity separate and distinct from the Bank. The
principal source of the Company’s revenues is dividends received from the Bank. As described in more detail below, federal law
places limitations on the amount that state banks may pay in dividends, which the Bank must adhere to when paying dividends to the
Company. It is the policy of the Federal Reserve Board that bank holding companies should pay cash dividends on common stock
only out of income available over the past year and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention is consistent with the
organization’s expected capital needs and financial condition. The Federal Reserve Board’s policy provides that bank holding
companies should not maintain a level of cash dividends that undermines the bank holding company’s ability to serve as a source of
strength to its banking subsidiaries. The Federal Reserve Board is authorized to limit or prohibit the payment of dividends if, in the
Federal Reserve Board’s opinion, the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice in light of a bank holding
company’s financial condition. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that each bank holding company should carefully
review its dividend policy, and has discouraged payment ratios that are at maximum allowable levels, which is the maximum dividend
amount that may be issued and allow the company to still maintain its target Tier 1 capital ratio, unless both asset quality and capital
are very strong.
Stress Testing. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), in
October 2012 the Federal Reserve Board published its final rules regarding company-run stress testing. The rules will require
institutions with average total consolidated assets greater than $10 billion, such as the Company and the Bank, to conduct an annual
company-run stress test of capital and consolidated earnings and losses under one base and at least two stress scenarios provided by
bank regulatory agencies. Pursuant to the rules, institutions with total consolidated assets between $10 billion and $50 billion are to
use data as of September 30, 2013 to conduct the stress test, using scenarios that are to be released by the agencies in November 2013.
The results of stress tests must be reported to the agencies in March 2014. Public disclosure of summary stress test results under the
severely adverse scenario will begin in June 2015 for stress tests commencing in 2014. It is anticipated that the Company’s capital
ratios reflected in the stress test calculations will be an important factor considered by the Federal Reserve Board in evaluating
whether proposed payments of dividends or stock repurchases may be an unsafe or unsound practice.
Source of Strength. Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company has historically been required to act as a
source of financial strength to each of its banking subsidiaries. The Dodd-Frank Act codified this policy as a statutory requirement.
Under this requirement, the Company is expected to commit resources to support the Bank, including support at times when the
Company may not be in a financial position to provide such resources. Any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its
subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary banks. As
discussed below, a bank holding company, in certain circumstances, could be required to guarantee the capital plan of an
undercapitalized banking subsidiary.
In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the trustee will be deemed
to have assumed and is required to cure immediately any deficit under any commitment by the debtor holding company to any of the
federal banking agencies to maintain the capital of an insured depository institution. Any claim for breach of such obligation will
generally have priority over most other unsecured claims.
Scope of Permissible Activities. Under the BHCA, bank holding companies generally may not acquire a direct or indirect
interest in or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or bank holding company or from
engaging in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to or performing services for
its subsidiaries, except that it may engage in, directly or indirectly, certain activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to
be so closely related to banking or managing and controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. In approving acquisitions or the
addition of activities, the Federal Reserve Board considers, among other things, whether the acquisition or the additional activities can
reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as greater convenience, increased competition, or gains in efficiency,
that outweigh such possible adverse effects as undue concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest
or unsound banking practices.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, effective March 11, 2000, eliminated the barriers to affiliations
among banks, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial service providers and permits bank holding companies to
become financial holding companies and thereby affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities
that are financial in nature. The Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act defines “financial in nature” to include securities underwriting, dealing and
market making; sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies; insurance underwriting and agency; merchant banking activities;
and activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be closely related to banking. No regulatory approval will be required
6
for a financial holding company, such as the Company, to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in
activities that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve Board.
The Company’s financial holding company status depends upon it maintaining its status as “well capitalized” and “well
managed” under applicable Federal Reserve Board regulations. If a financial holding company ceases to meet these requirements, the
Federal Reserve Board may impose corrective capital and/or managerial requirements on the financial holding company and place
limitations on its ability to conduct the broader financial activities permissible for financial holding companies. Until the financial
holding company returns to compliance, the company may not acquire a company engaged in such financial activities without prior
approval of the Federal Reserve Board. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board may require divestiture of the holding company’s
depository institutions and/or its non-bank subsidiaries if the deficiencies persist.
While the Federal Reserve Board is the “umbrella” regulator for financial holding companies and has the power to examine
banking organizations engaged in new activities, regulation and supervision of activities which are financial in nature or determined to
be incidental to such financial activities will be handled along functional lines. Accordingly, activities of subsidiaries of a financial
holding company will be regulated by the agency or authorities with the most experience regulating that activity as it is conducted in a
financial holding company.
The Dodd-Frank Act amends the BHCA to require the federal financial regulatory agencies to adopt rules that prohibit banks
and their affiliates from engaging in proprietary trading and investing in and sponsoring certain unregistered investment companies.
This statutory provision, commonly known as the “Volcker Rule,” defines unregistered investment companies as hedge funds and
private equity funds. In November 2011, federal regulators proposed rules to implement the Volcker Rule after a comment period,
no later than July 2012. As proposed, financial institutions would have a two year period, until July 21, 2014, following
implementation of the final rules to bring affected activities into conformance with the Volcker Rule, subject to extension for up to
three additional years. In early 2012, following the comment period, regulators announced that they would not be able to meet the
July 2012 deadline. At present, lawmakers continue to work on drafting the final rules. The proposed rules are highly complex, and
many aspects of their application remain uncertain. Based on the proposed rules, the Company does not currently anticipate that the
Volcker Rule will have a material effect on the operations of the Company and the Bank, as the Company does not engage in the
businesses prohibited by the Volcker Rule. The Company may incur costs if it is required to adopt additional policies and systems to
ensure compliance with the Volcker Rule, but any such costs are not expected to be material. Until a final rule is adopted, the precise
financial impact of the rule on the Company, its customers or the financial industry more generally, cannot be determined.
Safe and Sound Banking Practices. Bank holding companies are not permitted to engage in unsafe and unsound banking
practices. The Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation Y, for example, generally requires a holding company to give the Federal Reserve
Board prior notice of any redemption or repurchase of its own equity securities, if the consideration to be paid, together with the
consideration paid for any repurchases or redemptions in the preceding year, is equal to 10% or more of the company’s consolidated
net worth. The Federal Reserve Board may oppose the transaction if it believes that the transaction would constitute an unsafe or
unsound practice or would violate any law or regulation. Depending upon the circumstances, the Federal Reserve Board could take the
position that paying a dividend would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice.
The Federal Reserve Board has broad authority to prohibit activities of bank holding companies and their nonbanking
subsidiaries which represent unsafe and unsound banking practices or which constitute violations of laws or regulations, and can
assess civil money penalties for certain activities conducted on a knowing and reckless basis, if those activities caused a substantial
loss to a depository institution. The penalties can be as high as $1.0 million for each day the activity continues.
Anti-Tying Restrictions. Bank holding companies and their affiliates are prohibited from tying the provision of certain services,
such as extensions of credit, to other services offered by a holding company or its affiliates.
Capital Adequacy Requirements. The Federal Reserve Board has adopted a system using risk-based capital guidelines under a
two-tier capital framework to evaluate the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. Tier 1 capital generally consists of common
stockholders’ equity, retained earnings, a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock, qualifying trust preferred securities
and noncontrolling interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain intangibles. Tier 2 capital
generally consists of certain hybrid capital instruments and perpetual debt, mandatory convertible debt securities and a limited amount
of subordinated debt, qualifying preferred stock, loan loss allowance, and unrealized holding gains on certain equity securities.
Under the guidelines, specific categories of assets are assigned different risk weights, based generally on the perceived credit
risk of the asset. These risk weights are multiplied by corresponding asset balances to determine a “risk-weighted” asset base. The
guidelines require a minimum ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% is required to consist
of Tier 1 capital elements). Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s ratio of Tier
1 capital to total risk-weighted assets was 14.40% and its ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets was 15.22%. Risk-weighted
assets exclude intangible assets such as goodwill and core deposit intangibles.
7
In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve Board uses a leverage ratio as an additional tool to evaluate
the capital adequacy of bank holding companies. The leverage ratio is a company’s Tier 1 capital divided by its average total
consolidated assets. Certain highly rated bank holding companies may maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%, but other bank
holding companies are required to maintain a leverage ratio of 4.0%. As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s leverage ratio was
7.10%.
The federal banking agencies’ risk-based and leverage capital ratios are minimum supervisory ratios generally applicable to
banking organizations that meet certain specified criteria. Banking organizations not meeting these criteria are expected to operate
with capital positions well above the minimum ratios. The federal bank regulatory agencies may set capital requirements for a
particular banking organization that are higher than the minimum ratios when circumstances warrant. Federal Reserve Board
guidelines also provide that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain
strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant reliance on intangible assets.
Proposed Capital Adequacy Requirements. In June 2012, the Company’s primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve Board,
published two notices of proposed rulemaking (the “2012 Capital Proposals”) that would substantially revise the risk-based capital
requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions, including the Company and the Bank. One of the
2012 Capital Proposals (the “Basel III Proposal”) addresses the components of capital and other issues affecting the numerator in
banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios and would implement the Basel Committee’s December 2010 framework for
strengthening international capital standards, commonly known as “Basel III.” The other proposal (the “Standardized Approach
Proposal”) addresses risk weights and other issues affecting the denominator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios and
would replace the existing Basel I-derived risk-weighting approach with a more risk-sensitive approach based, in part, on the
standardized approach in the Basel Committee’s 2004 capital accords. The 2012 Capital Proposals would also implement the
requirements of Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act to remove references to credit ratings from the federal banking agencies’ rules.
As proposed, the Basel III Proposal and the Standardized Approach Proposal would come into effect on January 1, 2013 (subject to a
phase-in period) and January 1, 2015 (with an option for early adoption), respectively. Final rules, however, have not yet been
adopted, and the Basel III framework is therefore not yet applicable to the Company or the Bank.
The Basel III Proposal, among other things, (i) introduces a new capital measure: “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”),
(ii) specifies that Tier 1 capital consists of CET1 and “Additional Tier 1 capital” instruments meeting specified requirements,
(iii) defines CET1 narrowly by requiring that most deductions and adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and
not to the other components of capital and (iv) expands the scope of the deductions and adjustments as compared to existing
regulations.
In addition, the Basel III Proposal provides for two distinct buffers of capital designed to protect the banking system as a whole
during periods of systemic risk. One of the proposed buffers, a “capital conservation buffer,” is designed to absorb losses during
periods of economic stress. The other, a “countercyclical capital buffer,” may be imposed by bank regulatory agencies where there is
excess aggregate credit growth coupled with increasing systemic risk. The “countercyclical capital buffer” is applicable to only certain
covered institutions and is not expected to have any current applicability to the Company or the Bank. Banking institutions with a
ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer (or below the combined capital
conservation buffer and countercyclical capital buffer, when the latter is applied) will face constraints on dividends, equity
repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.
Under the Basel III Proposal, the initial minimum capital ratios were to be the following: (i) 3.5% CET1 to risk-weighted
assets, (ii) 4.5% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and (iii) 8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets.
When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel III Proposal will require the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of CET1
to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% CET1 ratio as that
buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7% upon full implementation),
(ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (which is added to
the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full
implementation), (iii) a minimum ratio of total (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the
capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a
minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation) and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4%, calculated as the ratio of
Tier 1 capital to average assets.
The Basel III Proposal provides for a number of deductions from and adjustments to CET1. These include, for example, the
requirement that mortgage servicing rights, deferred tax assets dependent upon future taxable income and significant investments in
non-consolidated financial entities be deducted from CET1 to the extent that any one such category exceeds 10% of CET1 or all such
categories in the aggregate exceed 15% of CET1. Under current capital standards, the effects of accumulated other comprehensive
income items included in capital are excluded for the purposes of determining regulatory capital ratios. Under the Basel III Proposal,
the effects of certain accumulated other comprehensive items are not excluded, which could result in significant variations in the level
8
of capital depending upon the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the fair value of the Company’s securities portfolio. The Basel III
Proposal also requires the phase-out of certain hybrid securities, such as trust preferred securities, as Tier 1 capital of bank holding
companies in equal installments between 2013 and 2016. Trust preferred securities no longer included in Tier 1 capital may
nonetheless be included as a component of Tier 2 capital.
Implementation of the deductions and other adjustments to CET1 will begin on January 1, 2014 and will be phased-in over a
five-year period (20% per year). The implementation of the capital conservation buffer will begin on January 1, 2016 at the 0.625%
level and be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on
January 1, 2019).
With respect to the Bank, the Basel III Proposal would also revise the “prompt corrective action” regulations pursuant to Section
38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, by (i) introducing a CET1 ratio requirement at each level (other than critically
undercapitalized), with the required CET1 ratio being 6.5% for well-capitalized status; (ii) increasing the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio
requirement for each category, with the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio for well-capitalized status being 8% (as compared with the
current 6%); and (iii) eliminating the current provision that provides that a bank with a composite supervisory rating of 1 may have a
3% leverage ratio and still be adequately capitalized. The Basel III Proposal does not change the total risk-based capital requirement
for any category.
Proposed Liquidity Requirements. Historically, regulation and monitoring of bank and bank holding company liquidity has
been addressed as a supervisory matter, without required formulaic measures. The Basel III liquidity framework requires banks and
bank holding companies to measure their liquidity against specific liquidity tests that, although similar in some respects to liquidity
measures historically applied by banks and regulators for management and supervisory purposes, will be required by regulation going
forward. However, the federal banking agencies have not proposed rules implementing the Basel III liquidity framework and have not
determined to what extent they will apply to banks that are not large, internationally active banks.
One test, referred to as the liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”), is designed to ensure that a banking entity maintains an adequate
level of unencumbered high-quality liquid assets equal to the entity’s expected net cash outflow for a 30-day time horizon (or, if
greater, 25% of its expected total cash outflow) under an acute liquidity stress scenario. The other test, referred to as the net stable
funding ratio (“NSFR”), is designed to promote more medium- and long-term funding of the assets and activities of banking entities
over a one-year time horizon. These requirements will provide banking entities with incentives to increase their holdings of U.S.
Treasury securities and other sovereign debt as a component of assets and increase the use of long-term debt as a funding source. The
Basel III liquidity framework contemplates that the LCR will be subject to an observation period continuing through mid-2013 and
subject to any revisions resulting from the analyses conducted and data collected during the observation period, will be implemented
as minimum standards on January 1, 2015, with a phase-in period ending January 1, 2019. Similarly, the Basel III liquidity
framework contemplates that the NSFR will be subject to an observation period through mid-2016 and, subject to any revisions
resulting from the analyses conducted and data collected during the observation period, implemented as a minimum standard by
January 1, 2018. These new standards are subject to further rulemaking and their terms could change before implementation.
Imposition of Liability for Undercapitalized Subsidiaries. Bank regulators are required to take “prompt corrective action” to
resolve problems associated with insured depository institutions whose capital declines below certain levels. In the event an institution
becomes “undercapitalized,” it must submit a capital restoration plan. The capital restoration plan will not be accepted by the
regulators unless each company having control of the undercapitalized institution guarantees the subsidiary’s compliance with the
capital restoration plan up to a certain specified amount. Any such guarantee from a depository institution’s holding company is
entitled to a priority of payment in bankruptcy.
The aggregate liability of the holding company of an undercapitalized bank is limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution’s
assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the amount necessary to cause the institution to be “adequately capitalized.” The bank
regulators have greater power in situations where an institution becomes “significantly” or “critically” undercapitalized or fails to
submit a capital restoration plan. For example, a bank holding company controlling such an institution can be required to obtain prior
Federal Reserve Board approval of proposed dividends, or might be required to consent to a consolidation or to divest the troubled
institution or other affiliates.
Acquisitions by Bank Holding Companies. The BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the
Federal Reserve Board before it may acquire all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, or ownership or control of any voting
shares of any bank, if after such acquisition it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such
bank. In approving bank acquisitions by bank holding companies, the Federal Reserve Board is required to consider, among other
things, the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the bank holding company and the banks concerned, the
convenience and needs of the communities to be served and various competitive factors.
Control Acquisitions. The Change in Bank Control Act (“CBCA”) prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring
“control” of a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve Board has been notified and has not objected to the transaction.
9
Under a rebuttable presumption established by the Federal Reserve Board, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock of
a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, such as the Company, would,
under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute acquisition of control of the Company.
In addition, the CBCA prohibits any entity from acquiring 25% (5% in the case of an acquiror that is a bank holding company)
or more of a bank holding company’s or bank’s voting securities, or otherwise obtaining control or a controlling influence over a bank
holding company or bank without the approval of the Federal Reserve Board. In most circumstances, an entity that owns 25% or more
of the voting securities of a banking organization owns enough of the capital resources to have a controlling influence over such
banking organization for purposes of the CBCA. On September 22, 2008, the Federal Reserve Board issued a policy statement on
equity investments in bank holding companies and banks, which allows the Federal Reserve Board to generally be able to conclude
that an entity’s investment is not “controlling” if the entity does not own in excess of 15% of the voting power and 33% of the total
equity of the bank holding company or bank. Depending on the nature of the overall investment and the capital structure of the
banking organization, the Federal Reserve Board will permit, based on the policy statement, noncontrolling investments in the form of
voting and nonvoting shares that represent in the aggregate (i) less than one-third of the total equity of the banking organization (and
less than one-third of any class of voting securities, assuming conversion of all convertible nonvoting securities held by the entity) and
(ii) less than 15% of any class of voting securities of the banking organization.
The Bank
The Bank is a Texas-chartered banking association, the deposits of which are insured by the DIF of the FDIC. The Bank is not a
member of the Federal Reserve System; therefore, the Bank is subject to supervision and regulation by the FDIC and the Texas
Department of Banking. Such supervision and regulation subject the Bank to special restrictions, requirements, potential enforcement
actions and periodic examination by the FDIC and the Texas Department of Banking. Because the Federal Reserve Board regulates
the Company, the Federal Reserve Board also has supervisory authority which directly affects the Bank. Further, because the Bank
had total assets of over $10 billion as of December 31, 2012, the Bank will be subject to supervision and regulation by the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). The CFPB is responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with federal
consumer protection laws..
Equivalence to National Bank Powers. The Texas Constitution, as amended in 1986, provides that a Texas-chartered bank has
the same rights and privileges that are or may be granted to national banks domiciled in Texas. To the extent that the Texas laws and
regulations may have allowed state-chartered banks to engage in a broader range of activities than national banks, the FDICIA has
operated to limit this authority. FDICIA provides that no state bank or subsidiary thereof may engage as principal in any activity not
permitted for national banks, unless the institution complies with applicable capital requirements and the FDIC determines that the
activity poses no significant risk to the DIF. In general, statutory restrictions on the activities of banks are aimed at protecting the
safety and soundness of depository institutions.
Financial Modernization. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, a national bank may establish a financial subsidiary and engage,
subject to limitations on investment, in activities that are financial in nature, other than insurance underwriting as principal, insurance
company portfolio investment, real estate development, real estate investment, annuity issuance and merchant banking activities. To
do so, a bank must be well capitalized, well managed and have a CRA rating of satisfactory or better. Subsidiary banks of a financial
holding company or national banks with financial subsidiaries must remain well capitalized and well managed in order to continue to
engage in activities that are financial in nature without regulatory actions or restrictions, which could include divestiture of the
financial in nature subsidiary or subsidiaries. In addition, a financial holding company or a bank may not acquire a company that is
engaged in activities that are financial in nature unless each of the subsidiary banks of the financial holding company or the bank has a
CRA rating of satisfactory or better.
Although the powers of state chartered banks are not specifically addressed in the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Texas-chartered
banks such as the Bank, will have the same if not greater powers as national banks through the parity provision contained in the Texas
Constitution.
Branching. Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, banks are permitted to engage in de novo interstate branching if the laws of the
state where the new branch is to be established would permit the establishment of the branch if it were chartered by such state, subject
to applicable regulatory review and approval requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act also created certain regulatory requirements for
interstate mergers and acquisitions, including that the acquiring bank must be well capitalized and well managed. Texas law provides
that a Texas-chartered bank can establish a branch anywhere in Texas provided that the branch is approved in advance by the Texas
Department of Banking. The branch must also be approved by the FDIC, which considers a number of factors, including financial
history, capital adequacy, earnings prospects, character of management, needs of the community and consistency with corporate
powers.
Restrictions on Transactions with Affiliates and Insiders. Transactions between the Bank and its nonbanking affiliates, including
the Company, are subject to Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. In general, Section 23A imposes limits on the amount of such
10
transactions to 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus and requires that such transactions be secured by designated amounts of
specified collateral. It also limits the amount of advances to third parties which are collateralized by the securities or obligations of the
Company or its subsidiaries. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly expanded the coverage and scope of the limitations on affiliate
transactions within a banking organization.
Affiliate transactions are also subject to Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act which generally requires that certain
transactions between the Bank and its affiliates be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the Bank, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with or involving other nonaffiliated persons. The Federal Reserve Board has also
issued Regulation W which codifies prior regulations under Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and interpretive
guidance with respect to affiliate transactions.
The restrictions on loans to directors, executive officers, principal shareholders and their related interests (collectively referred
to herein as “insiders”) contained in the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O apply to all insured institutions and their subsidiaries
and holding companies. Insiders are subject to enforcement actions for knowingly accepting loans in violation of applicable
restrictions.
Restrictions on Distribution of Subsidiary Bank Dividends and Assets. Dividends paid by the Bank have provided a substantial
part of the Company’s operating funds and for the foreseeable future it is anticipated that dividends paid by the Bank to the Company
will continue to be the Company’s principal source of operating funds. Capital adequacy requirements serve to limit the amount of
dividends that may be paid by the Bank. Under federal law, the Bank cannot pay a dividend if, after paying the dividend, the Bank will
be “undercapitalized.” The FDIC may declare a dividend payment to be unsafe and unsound even though the Bank would continue to
meet its capital requirements after the dividend. Because the Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from its subsidiaries, its
right to participate in the distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary’s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to
the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors. In the event of a liquidation or other resolution of an insured depository institution, the
claims of depositors and other general or subordinated creditors are entitled to a priority of payment over the claims of holders of any
obligation of the institution to its shareholders, including any depository institution holding company (such as the Company) or any
shareholder or creditor thereof.
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Dodd-Frank Act established the CFPB, which has supervisory authority over
depository institutions with total assets of $10 billion or greater. The CFPB will focus its supervision and regulatory efforts on (i) risks
to consumers and compliance with the federal consumer financial laws, when it evaluates the policies and practices of a financial
institution; (ii) the markets in which firms operate and risks to consumers posed by activities in those markets; (iii) depository
institutions that offer a wide variety of consumer financial products and services; depository institutions with a more specialized focus;
and (iv) non-depository companies that offer one or more consumer financial products or services.
Examinations. The FDIC periodically examines and evaluates state non-member banks.. The Texas Department of Banking also
conducts examinations of state banks, but may accept the results of a federal examination in lieu of conducting an independent
examination. In addition, the FDIC and Texas Department of Banking may elect to conduct a joint examination. Further, because the
Bank has total assets of over $10 billion as of December 31, 2012, the CFPB has examination authority with respect to the Bank’s
compliance with federal consumer protection laws. Compliance with consumer protection laws will be considered when banking
regulators are asked to approve a proposed transaction.
Capital Adequacy Requirements. The FDIC has adopted regulations establishing minimum requirements for the capital
adequacy of insured institutions. The FDIC may establish higher minimum requirements if, for example, a bank has previously
received special attention or has a high susceptibility to interest rate risk. When final rules for the Basel III framework are adopted,
the current capital adequacy requirements are expected to change as described above in “Proposed Capital Adequacy Requirements.”
The FDIC’s risk-based capital guidelines generally require state banks to have a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-
weighted assets of 4.0% and a ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8.0%. The capital categories have the same
definitions for the Bank as for the Company. As of December 31, 2012, the Bank’s ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets
was 14.19% and its ratio of total capital to total risk-weighted assets was 15.01%.
The FDIC’s leverage guidelines require state banks to maintain Tier 1 capital of no less than 4.0% of average total assets, except
in the case of certain highly rated banks for which the requirement is 3.0% of average total assets. The Texas Department of Banking
has issued a policy which generally requires state chartered banks to maintain a leverage ratio (defined in accordance with federal
capital guidelines) of 5.0%. As of December 31, 2012, the Bank’s ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets (leverage ratio) was
6.99%.
Corrective Measures for Capital Deficiencies. The federal banking regulators are required to take “prompt corrective action”
with respect to capital-deficient institutions. Agency regulations define, for each capital category, the levels at which institutions are
“well-capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “under capitalized,” “significantly under capitalized” and “critically under capitalized.”
11
A “well-capitalized” bank has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or higher; a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or higher; a
leverage ratio of 5.0% or higher; and is not subject to any written agreement, order or directive requiring it to maintain a specific
capital level for any capital measure. An “adequately capitalized” bank has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or higher; a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or higher; a leverage ratio of 4.0% or higher (3.0% or higher if the bank was rated a composite 1 in its
most recent examination report and is not experiencing significant growth); and does not meet the criteria for a well capitalized bank.
A bank is “under capitalized” if it fails to meet any one of the ratios required to be adequately capitalized. At December 31, 2012, the
Bank was classified as “well-capitalized” for purposes of the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations.
In addition to requiring undercapitalized institutions to submit a capital restoration plan, agency regulations contain broad
restrictions on certain activities of undercapitalized institutions including asset growth, acquisitions, branch establishment and
expansion into new lines of business. With certain exceptions, an insured depository institution is prohibited from making capital
distributions, including dividends, and is prohibited from paying management fees to control persons if the institution would be
undercapitalized after any such distribution or payment.
As an institution’s capital decreases, the FDIC’s enforcement powers become more severe. A significantly undercapitalized
institution is subject to mandated capital raising activities, restrictions on interest rates paid and transactions with affiliates, removal of
management and other restrictions. The FDIC has only very limited discretion in dealing with a critically undercapitalized institution
and is virtually required to appoint a receiver or conservator.
Banks with risk-based capital and leverage ratios below the required minimums may also be subject to certain administrative
actions, including the termination of deposit insurance upon notice and hearing, or a temporary suspension of insurance without a
hearing in the event the institution has no tangible capital.
Deposit Insurance Assessments. Substantially all of the deposits of the Bank are insured up to applicable limits (currently
$250,000) by the DIF of the FDIC and the Bank must pay deposit insurance assessments to the FDIC for such deposit insurance
protection. The FDIC maintains the DIF by designating a required reserve ratio. If the reserve ratio falls below the designated level,
the FDIC must adopt a restoration plan that provides that the DIF will return to an acceptable level generally within five years. The
designated reserve ratio is currently set at 2.00%. The FDIC has the discretion to price deposit insurance according to the risk for all
insured institutions regardless of the level of the reserve ratio.
The DIF reserve ratio is maintained by assessing depository institutions an insurance premium based upon certain statutory
factors. Under its current regulations, the FDIC imposes assessments for deposit insurance according to a depository institution’s
ranking in one of four risk categories based upon supervisory and capital evaluations. The assessment rate for an individual institution
is determined according to a formula based on a combination of weighted average CAMELS component ratings, financial ratios and,
for institutions that have long-term debt ratings, the average ratings of its long-term debt. On February 7, 2011, the FDIC approved a
final rule that amended the then-existing DIF restoration plan and implemented certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. As of
April 1, 2011 the assessment base is determined using average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity rather than the
current assessment base of adjusted domestic deposits. Since the change resulted in a much larger assessment base, the final rule also
lowered the assessment rates in order to keep the total amount collected from financial institutions relatively unchanged from the
amounts previously collected.
For large institutions (generally those with total assets of $10 billion or more), such as the Bank, the initial base assessment rate
ranges from 5 to 35 basis points on an annualized basis. After the effect of potential base-rate adjustments, the total base assessment
rate could range from 2.5 to 45 basis points on an annualized basis. Assessment rates for large institutions are calculated using a
scorecard that combines CAMELS ratings and certain forward-looking financial measures to assess the risk a large institution poses to
the DIF.
In November 2009, the FDIC adopted a rule that required all insured institutions, with limited exceptions, to prepay their
estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. As of December 31,
2012, $16.7 million in pre-paid deposit insurance was included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Concentrated Commercial Real Estate Lending Regulations. The federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, have
promulgated guidance governing financial institutions with concentrations in commercial real estate lending. The guidance provides
that a bank has a concentration in commercial real estate lending if (i) total reported loans for construction, land development, and
other land represent 100% or more of total capital or (ii) total reported loans secured by multifamily and non-farm residential
properties and loans for construction, land development, and other land represent 300% or more of total capital and the bank’s
commercial real estate loan portfolio has increased 50% or more during the prior 36 months. Owner occupied loans are excluded from
this second category. If a concentration is present, management must employ heightened risk management practices that address the
following key elements: including board and management oversight and strategic planning, portfolio management, development of
underwriting standards, risk assessment and monitoring through market analysis and stress testing, and maintenance of increased
capital levels as needed to support the level of commercial real estate lending.
12
Community Reinvestment Act. The CRA and the regulations issued thereunder are intended to encourage banks to help meet the
credit needs of their service area, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operations of
the banks. These regulations also provide for regulatory assessment of a bank’s record in meeting the needs of its service area when
considering applications to establish branches, merger applications and applications to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of
another bank. FIRREA requires federal banking agencies to make public a rating of a bank’s performance under the CRA. In the case
of a bank holding company, the CRA performance record of the banks involved in the transaction are reviewed in connection with the
filing of an application to acquire ownership or control of shares or assets of a bank or to merge with any other bank holding company.
An unsatisfactory record can substantially delay or block the transaction.
Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Legislation. A major focus of governmental policy on financial institutions in
recent years has been aimed at combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “USA
Patriot Act”) substantially broadened the scope of United States anti-money laundering laws and regulations by imposing significant
new compliance and due diligence obligations, creating new crimes and penalties and expanding the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the
United States. The United States Treasury Department has issued and, in some cases, proposed a number of regulations that apply
various requirements of the USA Patriot Act to financial institutions. These regulations impose obligations on financial institutions to
maintain appropriate policies, procedures and controls to detect, prevent and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to
verify the identity of their customers. Certain of those regulations impose specific due diligence requirements on financial institutions
that maintain correspondent or private banking relationships with non-U.S. financial institutions or persons. Failure of a financial
institution to maintain and implement adequate programs to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, or to comply with all of
the relevant laws or regulations, could have serious legal and reputational consequences for the institution.
Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulation. The United States has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with
designated foreign countries, nationals and others. These are typically known as the “OFAC” rules based on their administration by
the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). The OFAC-administered sanctions targeting countries take
many different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (i) restrictions on trade with or
investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country
and prohibitions on “U.S. persons” engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-
related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (ii) a blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated
nationals of the sanctioned country have an interest, by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including
property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (e.g., property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out,
withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have
serious legal and reputational consequences.
Privacy. In addition to expanding the activities in which banks and bank holding companies may engage, the Gramm-Leach-
Bliley Act also imposed new requirements on financial institutions with respect to customer privacy. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
generally prohibits disclosure of customer information to non-affiliated third parties unless the customer has been given the
opportunity to object and has not objected to such disclosure. Financial institutions are further required to disclose their privacy
policies to customers annually. Financial institutions, however, will be required to comply with state law if it is more protective of
customer privacy than the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
Incentive Compensation. In June 2010, the Federal Reserve Board, OCC and FDIC issued comprehensive final guidance on
incentive compensation policies intended to ensure that the incentive compensation policies of banking organizations do not
undermine the safety and soundness of such organizations by encouraging excessive risk-taking. The guidance, which covers all
employees that have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of an organization, either individually or as part of a group, is based
upon the key principles that a banking organization’s incentive compensation arrangements should (i) provide incentives that do not
encourage risk-taking beyond the organization’s ability to effectively identify and manage risks, (ii) be compatible with effective
internal controls and risk management, and (iii) be supported by strong corporate governance, including active and effective oversight
by the organization’s board of directors
The Federal Reserve Board will review, as part of the regular, risk-focused examination process, the incentive compensation
arrangements of banking organizations, such as the Company, that are not “large, complex banking organizations.” These reviews will
be tailored to each organization based on the scope and complexity of the organization’s activities and the prevalence of incentive
compensation arrangements. The findings of the supervisory initiatives will be included in reports of examination. Deficiencies will be
incorporated into the organization’s supervisory ratings, which can affect the organization’s ability to make acquisitions and take other
actions. Enforcement actions may be taken against a banking organization if its incentive compensation arrangements, or related risk-
management control or governance processes, pose a risk to the organization’s safety and soundness and the organization is not taking
prompt and effective measures to correct the deficiencies.
Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives
13
From time to time, various legislative and regulatory initiatives are introduced in Congress and state legislatures, as well as by
regulatory agencies. Such initiatives may include proposals to expand or contract the powers of bank holding companies and
depository institutions or proposals to substantially change the financial institution regulatory system. Such legislation could change
banking statutes and the operating environment of the Company in substantial and unpredictable ways. If enacted, such legislation
could increase or decrease the cost of doing business, limit or expand permissible activities or affect the competitive balance among
banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other financial institutions. The Company cannot predict whether any such legislation
will be enacted, and, if enacted, the effect that it, or any implementing regulations, would have on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company. A change in statutes, regulations or regulatory policies applicable to the Company or the Bank could have
a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Dodd-Frank Act
The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted in July 2010, significantly restructured the financial regulatory landscape in the United States. It
contains numerous provisions that affect all bank holding companies and banks. Many of the Dodd-Frank Act’s provisions are still
subject to the final rulemaking by federal banking agencies, and the implication of the Dodd-Frank Act for the Company’s business
will depend to a large extent on how such rules are adopted and implemented. The Company’s management continues to review
actively the provisions of the Dodd–Frank Act and assess its probable impact on its business, financial condition, and results of
operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the Federal Reserve Board to adopt enhanced supervision and prudential standards for, among
others, bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more (often referred to as “systemically important
financial institutions” or “SIFI”), and authorized the Federal Reserve Board to establish such standards either on its own or upon the
recommendations of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, a new systemic risk oversight body created by the Dodd-Frank Act.
Most of the Proposed SIFI Rules will not apply to the Company as its total consolidated assets remain below $50 billion. However,
two aspects of the Proposed SIFI Rules apply to bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $10 billion or more: (a)
requirements for annual stress testing of capital under one base and two stress scenarios and (b) certain corporate governance
provisions requiring, among other things, that each bank holding company establish a risk committee of its board of directors and that
that committee include a “risk expert.”
Effect on Economic Environment
The policies of regulatory authorities, including the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve Board, have a significant effect on
the operating results of bank holding companies and their subsidiaries. Among the means available to the Federal Reserve Board to
affect the money supply are open market operations in U.S. government securities, changes in the discount rate on member bank
borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against member bank deposits. These means are used in varying combinations to
influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, and their use may affect interest rates charged on
loans or paid for deposits.
Federal Reserve Board monetary policies have materially affected the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are
expected to continue to do so in the future. The nature of future monetary policies and the effect of such policies on the business and
earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Company’s common stock involves risks. The following is a description of the material risks and
uncertainties that the Company believes affect its business and an investment in the common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties
that the Company is unaware of, or that it currently deems immaterial, also may become important factors that affect the Company
and its business. If any of the risks described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were to occur, the Company’s financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the value of the common stock
could decline significantly and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Associated with the Company’s Business
If the Company is not able to continue its historical levels of growth, it may not be able to maintain its historical earnings trends.
To achieve its past levels of growth, the Company has focused on both internal growth and acquisitions. The Company may not
be able to sustain its historical rate of growth or may not be able to grow at all. More specifically, the Company may not be able to
obtain the financing necessary to fund additional growth and may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates. Various factors,
such as economic conditions and competition, may impede or prohibit the opening of new banking centers and the completion of
acquisitions. Further, the Company may be unable to attract and retain experienced bankers, which could adversely affect its internal
14
growth. If the Company is not able to continue its historical levels of growth, it may not be able to maintain its historical earnings
trends.
If the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively, its operations could be negatively affected.
Companies that experience rapid growth face various risks and difficulties, including:
•
•
finding suitable markets for expansion;
finding suitable candidates for acquisition;
attracting funding to support additional growth;
•
• maintaining asset quality;
•
• maintaining adequate regulatory capital.
attracting and retaining qualified management; and
In addition, in order to manage its growth and maintain adequate information and reporting systems within its organization, the
Company must identify, hire and retain additional qualified associates, particularly in the accounting and operational areas of its
business.
If the Company does not manage its growth effectively, its business, financial condition, results of operations and future
prospects could be negatively affected, and the Company may not be able to continue to implement its business strategy and
successfully conduct its operations.
Difficult market conditions and economic trends have adversely affected the banking industry and could adversely affect the
Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company is operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment, including generally uncertain conditions
nationally and locally in its markets. Although economic conditions have improved in the last year, financial institutions continue to
be affected by declines in the real estate market and uncertain conditions.
•
The Company’s ability to assess the creditworthiness of customers and to estimate the losses inherent in its loan portfolio is
made more complex by these uncertain market and economic conditions. A prolonged national economic recession or further
deterioration of these conditions in the Company’s markets could drive losses beyond that which is provided for in its allowance for
credit losses and result in the following consequences:
increases in loan delinquencies;
increases in nonperforming assets and foreclosures;
decreases in demand for the Company’s products and services, which could adversely affect its liquidity position; and
decreases in the value of the collateral securing the Company’s loans, especially real estate, which could reduce customers’
borrowing power.
•
•
•
While economic conditions in the State of Texas and the U.S. are showing signs of recovery, there can be no assurance that
these difficult conditions will continue to improve. Continued declines in real estate values, home sales volumes and financial stress
on borrowers as a result of the uncertain economic environment, including job losses, could have an adverse effect on the Company’s
borrowers or their customers, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
The Company’s business is subject to interest rate risk and fluctuations in interest rates may adversely affect its financial condition
and results of operations.
The majority of the Company’s assets are monetary in nature and, as a result, the Company is subject to significant risk from
changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates can impact the Company’s net interest income as well as the valuation of its assets
and liabilities. The Company’s earnings are significantly dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is the difference
between the interest income earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits,
borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities.
Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence the interest the Company receives on loans and
securities and the amount of interest it pays on deposits and borrowings, and could also affect (i) the Company’s ability to originate
loans and obtain deposits, (ii) the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities and (iii) the average duration of the
Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate
15
than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, the Company’s net interest income, and therefore earnings, could be
adversely affected. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments decrease
more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings. Further, the Company’s assets and liabilities may react
differently to changes in overall market rates or conditions because there may be mismatches between the repricing or maturity
characteristics of the assets and liabilities. Any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
If the Company is unable to identify and acquire other financial institutions and successfully integrate its acquired businesses, its
business and earnings may be negatively affected.
The market for acquisitions remains highly competitive, and the Company may be unable to find acquisition candidates in the
future that fit its acquisition and growth strategy. To the extent that the Company is unable to find suitable acquisition candidates, an
important component of its growth strategy may be lost.
Acquisitions of financial institutions involve operational risks and uncertainties and acquired companies may have unforeseen
liabilities, exposure to asset quality problems, key employee and customer retention problems and other problems that could
negatively affect the Company’s organization. The Company may not be able to complete future acquisitions and, if completed, the
Company may not be able to successfully integrate the operations, management, products and services of the entities that it acquires
and eliminate redundancies. The integration process could result in the loss of key employees or disruption of the combined entity’s
ongoing business or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect the Company’s ability to
maintain relationships with customers and employees or achieve the anticipated benefits of the transaction. The integration process
may also require significant time and attention from the Company’s management that they would otherwise direct at servicing existing
business and developing new business. The Company’s inability to find suitable acquisition candidates and failure to successfully
integrate the entities it acquires into its existing operations may increase its operating costs significantly and adversely affect its
business and earnings.
The Company’s dependence on loans secured by real estate subjects it to risks relating to fluctuations in the real estate market that
could adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Approximately 81.0% of the Company’s total loans as of December 31, 2012 consisted of loans included in the real estate loan
portfolio, with 10.6% in construction and land development, 27.8% in residential real estate and 42.6% in commercial real estate
(includes farmland and multifamily residential). The real estate collateral in each case provides an alternate source of repayment in the
event of default by the borrower and may deteriorate in value during the time the credit is extended. A weakening of the real estate
market in the Company’s primary market areas could have an adverse effect on the demand for new loans, the ability of borrowers to
repay outstanding loans, the value of real estate and other collateral securing the loans and the value of real estate owned by the
Company. If real estate values decline, it is also more likely that the Company would be required to increase its allowance for credit
losses, which could adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company’s commercial real estate and commercial loans expose it to increased credit risks, and these risks will increase if the
Company succeeds in increasing these types of loans.
The Company, while maintaining its conservative approach to lending, has emphasized both new and existing loan products,
focusing on managing its commercial real estate (includes farmland and multifamily residential) and commercial loan portfolios, and
intends to continue to increase its lending activities and acquire loans in possible future acquisitions. As a result, commercial real
estate and commercial loans as a proportion of its portfolio could increase. As of December 31, 2012, commercial real estate and
commercial loans totaled $2.97 billion. In general, commercial real estate loans and commercial loans yield higher returns and often
generate a deposit relationship, but also pose greater credit risks than do owner-occupied residential real estate loans. These types of
loans are also typically larger than residential real estate loans. Accordingly, the deterioration of one or several of these loans could
cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans, which could result in a loss of earnings from these loans and an increase in the
provision for credit losses and net charge-offs.
The Company makes both secured and some unsecured commercial loans. Unsecured loans generally involve a higher degree of
risk of loss than do secured loans because, without collateral, repayment is wholly dependent upon the success of the borrowers’
businesses. Secured commercial loans are generally collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment or other assets owned
by the borrower and include a personal guaranty of the business owner. Compared to real estate, that type of collateral is more difficult
to monitor, its value is harder to ascertain, it may depreciate more rapidly and it may not be as readily saleable if repossessed. Further,
commercial loans generally will be serviced primarily from the operation of the business, which may not be successful, while
commercial real estate loans generally will be serviced from income on the properties securing the loans. As the Company’s various
commercial loan portfolios increase, the corresponding risks and potential for losses from these loans will also increase.
16
The Company’s profitability depends significantly on local economic conditions.
The Company’s success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the primary markets in Texas in which it
operates and where its loans are concentrated. In addition, the pending acquisition of Coppermark Bancshares, Inc. will expand the
Company’s market area to Oklahoma and the Company’s success will also be impacted by general economic conditions in Oklahoma.
The local economic conditions in Texas have a significant impact on the Company’s commercial, real estate and construction and land
development loans, the ability of its borrowers to repay their loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. Accordingly, if
the population or income growth in the Company’s market areas is slower than projected, income levels, deposits and housing starts
could be adversely affected and could result in a reduction of the Company’s expansion, growth and profitability. Although economic
conditions in Texas have not deteriorated to the same extent as in other areas of the country, such conditions could decline further. If
the Company’s market areas experience a downturn or a recession for a prolonged period of time, the Company could experience
significant increases in nonperforming loans, which could lead to operating losses, impaired liquidity and eroding capital. A
significant decline in general economic conditions, caused by inflation, recession, acts of terrorism, outbreaks of hostilities or other
international or domestic calamities, unemployment or other factors could impact these local economic conditions and could
negatively affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to cover actual credit losses, which could adversely affect its
earnings.
As a lender, the Company is exposed to the risk that its loan customers may not repay their loans according to the terms of these
loans and the collateral securing the payment of these loans may be insufficient to fully compensate the Company for the outstanding
balance of the loan plus the costs to dispose of the collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses in an attempt to
cover estimated losses inherent in its loan portfolio. Additional credit losses will likely occur in the future and may occur at a rate
greater than the Company has experienced to date. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance inherently involves a
high degree of subjectivity and requires the Company to make significant estimates of current credit risks, future trends and general
economic conditions, all of which may undergo material changes. If the Company’s assumptions prove to be incorrect or if it
experiences significant loan losses in future periods, its current allowance may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses and
adjustments may be necessary to allow for different economic conditions or adverse developments in its loan portfolio. A material
addition to the allowance could cause net income, and possibly capital, to decrease.
In addition, federal and state regulators periodically review the Company’s allowance for credit losses and may require the
Company to increase its provision for credit losses or recognize further charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of the
Company’s management. An increase in the Company’s allowance for credit losses or charge-offs as required by these regulatory
agencies could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition.
The small to medium-sized businesses that the Company lends to may have fewer resources to weather a downturn in the economy,
which could materially harm the Company’s operating results.
The Company makes loans to privately-owned businesses, many of which are considered to be small to medium-sized
businesses. Small to medium-sized businesses frequently have smaller market share than their competition, may be more vulnerable to
economic downturns, often need substantial additional capital to expand or compete and may experience significant volatility in
operating results. Any one or more of these factors may impair the borrower’s ability to repay a loan. In addition, the success of a
small to medium-sized business often depends on the management talents and efforts of one or two persons or a small group of
persons, and the death, disability or resignation of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse impact on the business
and its ability to repay a loan. Economic downturns and other events that negatively impact the Company’s market areas could cause
the Company to incur substantial credit losses that could negatively affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Liquidity risk could impair the Company’s ability to fund operations and jeopardize its financial condition.
Liquidity is essential to the Company’s business. An inability to raise funds through deposits, borrowings, the sale of loans and
other sources could have a substantial negative effect on its liquidity. The Company’s access to funding sources in amounts adequate
to finance its activities or on terms which are acceptable to it could be impaired by factors that affect the Company specifically or the
financial services industry or economy in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact the Company’s access to liquidity sources
include a decrease in the level of its business activity as a result of a downturn in the markets in which its loans are concentrated or
adverse regulatory action against it. The Company’s ability to borrow could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to it, such
as a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry in
light of the recent turmoil faced by banking organizations and the continued deterioration in credit markets.
17
If the goodwill that the Company recorded in connection with a business acquisition becomes impaired, it could require charges to
earnings.
Goodwill represents the amount by which the acquisition cost exceeds the fair value of net assets the Company acquired in the
purchase of another financial institution. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events
or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the asset might be impaired.
The Company determines impairment by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying
amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an
impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Any such adjustments are reflected in the Company’s results of
operations in the periods in which they become known. At December 31, 2012, the Company’s goodwill totaled $1.22 billion. While
the Company has not recorded any such impairment charges since it initially recorded the goodwill, there can be no assurance that the
Company’s future evaluations of goodwill will not result in findings of impairment and related write-downs, which may have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
The Company’s accounting estimates and risk management processes rely on analytical and forecasting models.
The processes the Company uses to estimate its probable credit losses and to measure the fair value of financial instruments, as
well as the processes used to estimate the effects of changing interest rates and other market measures on the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations, depends upon the use of analytical and forecasting models. These models reflect assumptions that
may not be accurate, particularly in times of market stress or other unforeseen circumstances. Even if these assumptions are accurate,
the models may prove to be inadequate or inaccurate because of other flaws in their design or their implementation.
If the models the Company uses for interest rate risk and asset-liability management are inadequate, the Company may incur
increased or unexpected losses upon changes in market interest rates or other market measures. If the models the Company uses for
determining its probable credit losses are inadequate, the allowance for credit losses may not be sufficient to support future charge-
offs. If the models the Company uses to measure the fair value of financial instruments is inadequate, the fair value of such financial
instruments may fluctuate unexpectedly or may not accurately reflect what the Company could realize upon sale or settlement of such
financial instruments. Any such failure in the Company’s analytical or forecasting models could have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions.
Financial services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing, counterparty, or other relationships. The Company
has exposure to many different industries and counterparties, and routinely executes transactions with counterparties in the financial
services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks, and other institutional clients. Many of these
transactions expose the Company to credit risk in the event of a default by a counterparty or client. In addition, the Company’s credit
risk may be exacerbated when the collateral held by the Company cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not sufficient to
recover the full amount of the credit or derivative exposure due to the Company. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company may need to raise additional capital in the future and such capital may not be available when needed or at all.
The Company may need to raise additional capital in the future to provide it with sufficient capital resources and liquidity to
meet its commitments and business needs. In addition, the Company may elect to raise additional capital to support its business or to
finance acquisitions, if any. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on, among other things,
conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of its control, and its financial performance.
The Company cannot assure you that such capital will be available to it on acceptable terms or at all. Any occurrence that may
limit its access to the capital markets, such as a decline in the confidence of investors, depositors of Prosperity Bank or counterparties
participating in the capital markets, may adversely affect the Company’s capital costs and its ability to raise capital and, in turn, its
liquidity. Moreover, if the Company needs to raise capital in the future, it may have to do so when many other financial institutions are
also seeking to raise capital and would have to compete with those institutions for investors. An inability to raise additional capital on
acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of
operations.
New lines of business or new products and services may subject the Company to additional risks.
From time to time, the Company may implement or may acquire new lines of business or offer new products and services within
existing lines of business. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the
markets are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new products and services, the Company
may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new
products or services may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors, such as
18
compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation
of a new line of business or a new product or service. Furthermore, any new line of business and/or new product or service could have
a significant impact on the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal controls. Failure to successfully manage these risks in
the development and implementation of new lines of business or new products or services could have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
An interruption in or breach in security of the Company’s information systems may result in a loss of customer business and have
an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct its business. Any failure, interruption or
breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in the Company’s customer relationship management, general
ledger, deposits, servicing or loan origination systems. If any such failures, interruptions or security breaches of its communications or
information systems occur, they may not be adequately addressed by the Company. Further, the occurrence of any such failures,
interruptions or security breaches could damage the Company’s reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject the Company
to additional regulatory scrutiny or expose the Company to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a
material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The business of the Company is dependent on technology.
The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes with frequent introductions of new technology-driven
products and services. In addition to better serving customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables
financial institutions to reduce costs. The Company’s future success depends in part upon its ability to address the needs of its
customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for convenience as well as create
additional efficiencies in its operations. Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in
technological improvements. The Company may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or
be successful in marketing these products and services to its customers, which may negatively affect the Company’s results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The Company’s operations rely on external vendors.
The Company relies on certain external vendors to provide products and services necessary to maintain day-to-day operations of
the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s operations are exposed to risk that these vendors will not perform in accordance with the
contracted arrangements under service agreements. The failure of an external vendor to perform in accordance with the contracted
arrangements under service agreements, because of changes in the vendor’s organizational structure, financial condition, support for
existing products and services or strategic focus or for any other reason, could be disruptive to the Company’s operations, which could
have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and, in turn, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is subject to claims and litigation pertaining to intellectual property.
Banking and other financial services companies, such as the Company, rely on technology companies to provide information
technology products and services necessary to support the Company’s day-to-day operations. Technology companies frequently enter
into litigation based on allegations of patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, patent holding
companies seek to monetize patents they have purchased or otherwise obtained. Competitors of the Company’s vendors, or other
individuals or companies, have from time to time claimed to hold intellectual property sold to the Company by its vendors. Such
claims may increase in the future as the financial services sector becomes more reliant on information technology vendors. The
plaintiffs in these actions frequently seek injunctions and substantial damages.
Regardless of the scope or validity of such patents or other intellectual property rights, or the merits of any claims by potential or
actual litigants, the Company may have to engage in protracted litigation. Such litigation is often expensive, time-consuming,
disruptive to the Company’s operations and distracting to management. If the Company is found to infringe one or more patents or
other intellectual property rights, it may be required to pay substantial damages or royalties to a third-party. In certain cases, the
Company may consider entering into licensing agreements for disputed intellectual property, although no assurance can be given that
such licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or that litigation will not occur. These licenses may also significantly increase the
Company’s operating expenses. If legal matters related to intellectual property claims were resolved against the Company or settled,
the Company could be required to make payments in amounts that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The Company is subject to claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility.
From time to time, customers make claims and take legal action pertaining to the Company’s performance of its fiduciary
responsibilities. Whether customer claims and legal action related to the Company’s performance of its fiduciary responsibilities are
founded or unfounded, if such claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to the Company, they may result in
19
significant financial liability, adversely affect the market perception of the Company and its products and services and/or impact
customer demand for those products and services. Any financial liability or reputation damage could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company operates in a highly regulated environment and, as a result, is subject to extensive regulation and supervision.
The Company and the Bank are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are
primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not the Company’s
shareholders. These regulations affect the Company’s lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and
growth, among other things. Congress and federal regulatory agencies continually review banking laws, regulations and policies for
possible changes. Any change in applicable regulations or federal or state legislation could have a substantial impact on the Company,
the Bank and their respective operations.
The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted in July 2010, instituted major changes to the banking and financial institutions regulatory regimes
in light of the recent performance of and government intervention in the financial services sector. Additional legislation and
regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of statutes, regulations or policies, could
significantly affect the Company’s powers, authority and operations, or the powers, authority and operations of the Bank in substantial
and unpredictable ways. Further, regulators have significant discretion and power to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or
violations of laws by banks and bank holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. The exercise
of this regulatory discretion and power could have a negative impact on the Company. Failure to comply with laws, regulations or
policies could result in sanctions by regulatory agencies, civil money penalties and/or reputation damage, which could have a material
adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is subject to losses resulting from fraudulent and negligent acts on the part of loan applicants, correspondents or
other third parties.
The Company relies heavily upon information supplied by third parties, including the information contained in credit
applications, property appraisals, title information, equipment pricing and valuation and employment and income documentation, in
deciding which loans the Company will originate, as well as the terms of those loans. If any of the information upon which the
Company relies is misrepresented, either fraudulently or inadvertently, and the misrepresentation is not detected prior to asset funding,
the value of the asset may be significantly lower than expected, or the Company may fund a loan that it would not have funded or on
terms it would not have extended. Whether a misrepresentation is made by the applicant or another third party, the Company generally
bears the risk of loss associated with the misrepresentation. A loan subject to a material misrepresentation is typically unsellable or
subject to repurchase if it is sold prior to detection of the misrepresentation. The sources of the misrepresentations are often difficult to
locate, and it is often difficult to recover any of the monetary losses the Company may suffer.
The recent repeal of federal prohibitions on payment of interest on demand deposits could increase the Company’s interest
expense.
All federal prohibitions on the ability of financial institutions to pay interest on demand deposit accounts were repealed as part
of the Dodd-Frank Act beginning on July 21, 2011. Accordingly, financial institutions can now offer interest on demand deposits to
compete for clients. The Company’s interest expense will increase and its net interest margin will decrease if it begins offering
interest on demand deposits to attract additional customers or maintain current customers, which could have an adverse effect on the
Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities.
A significant portion of the Company’s loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, the
Company may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic
substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, the Company may be liable for remediation
costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require the Company to incur substantial expenses
and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit the Company’s ability to use or sell the affected property. In addition,
future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase the Company’s
exposure to environmental liability. Although the Company has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before
initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards.
The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Associated with the Company’s Common Stock
The Company’s corporate organizational documents and the provisions of Texas law to which it is subject may delay or prevent a
change in control of the Company that a shareholder may favor.
The Company’s amended and restated articles of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain various provisions
which may delay, discourage or prevent an attempted acquisition or change of control of the Company. These provisions include:
•
•
•
•
a board of directors classified into three classes of directors with the directors of each class having staggered three-year
terms;
a provision that any special meeting of the Company’s shareholders may be called only by the chairman of the board and
chief executive officer, the president, a majority of the board of directors or the holders of at least 50% of the Company’s
shares entitled to vote at the meeting;
a provision establishing certain advance notice procedures for nomination of candidates for election as directors and for
shareholder proposals to be considered at an annual or special meeting of shareholders; and
a provision that denies shareholders the right to amend the Company’s bylaws.
The Company’s articles of incorporation provide for noncumulative voting for directors and authorize the board of directors to
issue shares of its preferred stock without shareholder approval and upon such terms as the board of directors may determine. The
issuance of the Company’s preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of
discouraging a third party from acquiring, a controlling interest in the Company. In addition, certain provisions of Texas law,
including a provision which restricts certain business combinations between a Texas corporation and certain affiliated shareholders,
may delay, discourage or prevent an attempted acquisition or change in control of the Company.
There are restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay dividends.
Holders of the Company’s common stock are only entitled to receive such dividends as the Company’s Board of Directors may
declare out of funds legally available for such payments. Although the Company has historically declared cash dividends on its
common stock, it is not required to do so and there can be no assurance that the Company will pay dividends in the future. Any
declaration and payment of dividends on common stock will depend upon the Company’s earnings and financial condition, liquidity
and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, the Company’s ability to service any equity or debt obligations
senior to the common stock and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors.
The Company’s principal source of funds to pay dividends on the shares of common stock is cash dividends that the Company
receives from the Bank. Various banking laws applicable to the Bank limit the payment of dividends and other distributions by the
Bank to the Company, and may therefore limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock. Further, if required
payments on the Company’s outstanding junior subordinated debentures held by its unconsolidated subsidiary trusts are not made or
are suspended, the Company will be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock.
The holders of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures have rights that are senior to those of the Company’s shareholders.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $85.1 million in junior subordinated debentures outstanding that were issued to the
Company’s unconsolidated subsidiary trusts. The subsidiary trusts purchased the junior subordinated debentures from the Company
using the proceeds from the sale of trust preferred securities to third party investors. Payments of the principal and interest on the trust
preferred securities are conditionally guaranteed by the Company to the extent not paid or made by each trust, provided the trust has
funds available for such obligations.
The junior subordinated debentures are senior to the Company’s shares of common stock. As a result, the Company must make
interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) before any dividends can be paid on
its common stock; and, in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of the debentures must be
satisfied before any distributions can be made to the holders of the common stock. Additionally, the Company has the right to defer
periodic distributions on the junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) for up to five years, during
which time the Company would be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock. The Company’s ability to pay the future
distributions depends upon the earnings of the Bank and dividends from the Bank to the Company, which may be inadequate to
service the obligations.

Dividends
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors out of
funds legally available therefor. While the Company has declared dividends on its common stock since 1994, and paid quarterly
dividends aggregating $0.80 per share in 2012 and $0.72 per share in 2011, there is no assurance that the Company will continue to
pay dividends in the future. Future dividends on the common stock will depend upon the Company’s earnings and financial condition,
liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, the Company’s ability to service any equity or debt
obligations senior to the common stock and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors of the Company.
As a holding company, the Company is ultimately dependent upon its subsidiaries to provide funding for its operating expenses,
debt service and dividends. Various banking laws applicable to the Bank limit the payment of dividends and other distributions by the
Bank to the Company, and may therefore limit the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common stock. Regulatory authorities
could impose administratively stricter limitations on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company if such limits were
deemed appropriate to preserve certain capital adequacy requirements.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that bank holding companies should carefully review their dividend policy
in relation to the organization’s overall asset quality, level of current and prospective earnings and level, composition and quality of
capital. The guidance provides that the Company inform and consult with the Federal Reserve Board prior to declaring and paying a
dividend that exceeds earnings for the period for which the dividend is being paid or that could result in an adverse change to the
Company’s capital structure, including interest on the subordinated debentures underlying the Company’s trust preferred securities. If
required payments on the Company’s outstanding junior subordinated debentures held by its unconsolidated subsidiary trusts are not
made or suspended, the Company will be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock.
The cash dividends declared per share by quarter (and paid on the first business day of the subsequent quarter except for the
fourth quarter of 2012 which was paid on December 31, 2012) for the Company’s last two fiscal years were as follows:

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations analyzes the major elements of the
Company’s balance sheets and statements of income. This section should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes and other detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
Overview
The Company generates the majority of its revenues from interest income on loans, service charges on customer accounts and
income from investment in securities. In 2012, the Company added additional products and services including trust services, credit
card, mortgage lending and independent sales organization (ISO) sponsorship operations. The revenues are partially offset by interest
expense paid on deposits and other borrowings and noninterest expenses such as administrative and occupancy expenses. Net interest
income is the difference between interest income on earning assets such as loans and securities and interest expense on liabilities such
as deposits and borrowings which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is the Company’s largest source of revenue. The
level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and margin.
The Company has recognized increased net interest income due primarily to an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets.
Three principal components of the Company’s growth strategy are internal growth, stringent cost control practices and
acquisitions, including strategic merger transactions and FDIC assisted transactions. The Company focuses on continual internal
growth. Each banking center is operated as a separate profit center, maintaining separate data with respect to its net interest income,
efficiency ratio, deposit growth, loan growth and overall profitability. Banking center presidents and managers are accountable for
performance in these areas and compensated accordingly. The Company also focuses on maintaining stringent cost control practices
and policies. The Company has centralized many of its critical operations, such as data processing and loan processing. Management
believes that this centralized infrastructure can accommodate substantial additional growth while enabling the Company to minimize
operational costs through certain economies of scale. The Company also intends to continue to seek expansion opportunities. During
2012, the Company completed four acquisitions including Texas Bankers, Inc., The Bank Arlington, ASB and Community National
Bank. Combined these acquisitions added forty-one (41) banking centers.
Net income was $167.9 million, $141.7 million and $127.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, and diluted earnings per share were $3.23, $3.01 and $2.73, respectively, for these same periods. The change in net
income during both 2012 and 2011 was principally due to an increase in net interest income resulting from balance sheet growth from
acquisitions. The Company posted returns on average assets of 1.35%, 1.47% and 1.38% and returns on average equity of 9.10%,
9.36% and 9.08% for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 43.48%
in 2012, 42.76% in 2011 and 44.83% in 2010. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total noninterest expense (excluding credit
loss provisions and impairment write-down on securities) by net interest income plus noninterest income (excluding net gains and
losses on the sale of securities and assets). Additionally, taxes are not part of this calculation.
31
Total assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $14.58 billion and $9.82 billion, respectively. Total deposits at December 31,
2012 and 2011 were $11.64 billion and $8.06 billion, respectively. Total loans were $5.18 billion at December 31, 2012, an increase
of $1.41 billion or 37.5% compared with $3.77 billion at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, the Company had $5.7 million
in nonperforming loans and its allowance for credit losses was $52.6 million compared with $3.6 million in nonperforming loans and
an allowance for credit losses of $51.6 million at December 31, 2011. Shareholders’ equity was $2.09 billion and $1.57 billion at
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Recent Developments
During 2012, the Company completed four acquisitions. These acquisitions increased total assets, loans and deposits on their
respective acquisition date as detailed in the table below (dollars in thousands). Additionally, the Company completed its acquisition

of $70.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company issued 314,953 shares of
Company common stock for all outstanding shares of Texas Bankers capital stock, resulting in an acquisition date fair value of $12.7
million, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $40.35. The Company recognized goodwill of $6.1 million which is calculated
as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired.
Acquisition of The Bank Arlington—On April 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of The Bank Arlington. The
Bank Arlington operated one banking office in Arlington, Texas, in the Dallas/Fort Worth CMSA.

total deposits of $164.6 million. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company issued 372,282 shares of Company
32
common stock plus $11.4 million in cash for all outstanding shares of Community National Bank capital stock, for total merger
consideration of $27.3 million, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $42.62. The Company recognized goodwill of $10.3
million which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of
identifiable assets acquired.
Acquisition of East Texas Financial Services, Inc.- On January 1, 2013, the Company completed the previously announced
acquisition of East Texas Financial Services, Inc. (OTC BB: FFBT) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal Bank Texas
(“Firstbank”). Firstbank operated four (4) banking offices in the Tyler MSA, including three locations in Tyler, Texas and one location

Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company issued 530,940 shares of the Company’s common stock for all
outstanding shares of East Texas Financial Services capital stock resulting in an acquisition date fair value of $22.3 million, based on
the Company’s closing stock price of $42.00and recognized goodwill of approximately $5.5 million which is calculated as the excess
of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed compared to the fair value of the assets acquired. The Company is
currently in the process of obtaining fair values for certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities and therefore the estimates are
preliminary.
Pending Acquisition of Coppermark Bancshares Inc. - On December 10, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire Coppermark Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coppermark Bank (“Coppermark”) headquartered in

conditions and potential adjustments. Pending the satisfaction of closing conditions, the closing is expected to occur in early 2013.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. The Company’s accounting
policies are described in detail in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, appearing elsewhere is this Annual Report on Form
10-K. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and
complexity:
Allowance for Credit Losses—The allowance for credit losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a
provision for credit losses. Management has established an allowance for credit losses which it believes is adequate for estimated
losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, management presents a monthly review of the
allowance for credit losses to the Bank’s Board of Directors, indicating any change in the allowance since the last review and any
recommendations as to adjustments in the allowance. In making its evaluation, management considers factors such as historical loan
loss experience, industry diversification of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming assets and related
collateral, the volume, growth and composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the
borrower’s ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the Company’s loan portfolio through its internal loan review
process and other relevant factors. Portions of the allowance may be allocated for specific credits; however, the entire allowance is
available for any credit that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off. Charge-offs occur when loans are deemed to be
uncollectible. For further discussion of the methodology used in the determination of the allowance for credit losses, refer to the
“Allowance for Credit Losses” section in this financial review and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets—Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are subject to an impairment
test at least annually, or more often, if events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of Prosperity
Bank, the Company’s only reporting unit with assigned goodwill, is below the carrying value of its equity. On January 1, 2012, the
Company adopted Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-08, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for
Impairment," (ASU 2011-08), which allows companies to use a qualitative approach to assess goodwill for impairment. The
provisions of ASU 2011-08 give companies the option to first assess 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 as a basis for determining the need to perform step one of the
annual test for goodwill impairment. An entity has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment described in the
preceding paragraph for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment
test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.
33
If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, a two-step goodwill impairment test is performed. The two-step process
begins with an estimation of the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit compared with its carrying value. If the carrying amount
exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, a second test is completed comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s
goodwill to its carrying value to measure the amount of impairment.
Estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is a subjective process involving the use of estimates and judgments,
particularly related to future cash flows of the reporting unit, discount rates (including market risk premiums) and market multiples.
Material assumptions used in the valuation models include the comparable public company price multiples used in the terminal value,
future cash flows and the market risk premium component of the discount rate. The estimated fair values of the reporting unit is
determined using a blend of two commonly used valuation techniques: the market approach and the income approach. The Company
gives consideration to both valuation techniques, as either technique can be an indicator of value. For the market approach, valuations
of the reporting unit were based on an analysis of relevant price multiples in market trades in companies with similar characteristics.
For the income approach, estimated future cash flows (derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations) and terminal value
(value at the end of the cash flow period, based on price multiples) were discounted. The discount rate was based on the imputed cost
of equity capital.
The Company had no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives at December 31, 2012. Other identifiable intangible assets
that are subject to amortization are amortized on an accelerated basis over the years expected to be benefited, which the Company
believes is between eight and ten years. These amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate
their value may not be recoverable based on a comparison of fair value to carrying value. Based on the Company’s annual goodwill
impairment test as of September 30, 2012, management does not believe any of its goodwill is impaired as of December 31, 2012,
because the fair value of the Company’s equity substantially exceeded its carrying value. While the Company believes no impairment
existed at December 31, 2012, under accounting standards applicable at that date, different conditions or assumptions, or changes in
cash flows or profitability, if significantly negative or unfavorable, could have a material adverse effect on the outcome of the
Company’s impairment evaluation and financial condition or future results of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation—The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation plans using the fair value-based
method of accounting. The Company’s results of operations reflect compensation expense for all employee stock-based compensation,
including the unvested portion of stock options granted prior to 2003. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of
grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions including stock price
volatility and employee turnover that are utilized to measure compensation expense.
Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired Securities—When the fair value of a security is below its amortized cost, and depending on
the length of time the condition exists and the extent the fair market value is below amortized cost, additional analysis is performed to
determine whether an impairment exists. Available for sale and held to maturity securities are analyzed quarterly for possible other-
than-temporary impairment. The analysis considers (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost,
(ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic
conditions, and (iv) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt
security before its anticipated recovery. Often, the information available to conduct these assessments is limited and rapidly changing,
making estimates of fair value subject to judgment. If actual information or conditions are different than estimated, the extent of the
impairment of the security may be different than previously estimated, which could have a material effect on the Company’s results of
operations and financial condition.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The Company determines the fair market values of financial instruments based on the fair
value hierarchy established which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs include
quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available Level 2 inputs are used. These inputs are based
upon internally developed models that primarily use observable market-based parameters. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs
which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. The Company’s assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific
to the asset or liability.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income
The Company’s operating results depend primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest income
on interest-earning assets, including securities and loans, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, including
deposits and other borrowed funds. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of earning assets and
liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. The Company’s net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of
34
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change.” It is also affected by changes in yields earned
on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”
2012 versus 2011. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for 2012, was $380.7 million compared with
$326.7 million for 2011, an increase of $54.0 million or 16.5%. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to an increase
in average interest-earning assets of $2.65 billion or 31.9% during 2012, and a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities of 24 basis points. The increase in average earning assets was due to the four acquisitions completed during 2012. Interest
income was $419.8 million in 2012, an increase of $47.9 million over 2011. Interest income on loans was $271.3 million for 2012, an
increase of $57.1 million or 26.6% compared with 2011 due in part to an increase in average loans outstanding of $865.5 million.
Additionally, during 2012 interest income on loans benefited from purchase accounting loan discount accretion of $26.4 million which
partially offset the decrease in interest rates on the loan portfolio. The Company had remaining accretable discounts on purchased
loans of $63.6 million outstanding at December 31, 2012. Interest income on securities was $148.4 million during 2012, a decrease of
$9.2 million over 2011 due, in part, to an increase in the amortization of security premiums of $38.2 million for 2012 compared with
2011. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $1.81 billion for 2012 compared to 2011 and average rate paid decreased from
0.72% to 0.48% for the same time period resulting in an overall decrease in interest expense of $6.1 million. During 2012, average
noninterest bearing deposits increased $642.8 million from $1.80 billion during 2011 to $2.44 billion during 2012. This increase in
low-cost noninterest bearing funds contributed to a decrease in total cost of funds to 0.37% during 2012 from 0.56% during 2011.
Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis, defined as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, for 2012
was 3.53%, a decrease of 45 basis points compared with 3.98% for 2011.
2011 versus 2010. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the year ended December 31, 2011 was
$326.7 million compared with $318.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $8.5 million or 2.7%. The
improvement in net interest income for 2011 was principally due to a $349.0 million or 4.4% increase in average interest-earning
assets to $8.301 billion at December 31, 2011 compared with $7.952 billion at December 31, 2010. The average rate paid on interest-
bearing liabilities decreased 34 basis points from 1.06% for the year ended December 31, 2010 to 0.72% for the year ended
December 31, 2011 and the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 36 basis points from 4.84% at December 31, 2010 to
4.48% at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, period end demand deposits represented an important component of funding and
were 24.5% of total period end deposits compared with 22.4% at December 31, 2010.
Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis, defined as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets, for 2011
was 3.98%, a decrease of 6 basis points compared with 4.04% for 2010.

Provision for Credit Losses
The Company’s provision for credit losses is established through charges to income in the form of the provision in order to
bring the Company’s allowance for credit losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on the factors discussed under
“Financial Condition—Allowance for Credit Losses.” The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2012, was $52.6 million,
representing 1.01% of outstanding loans as of such date. Loans acquired during 2012 were recorded at fair value based on a
discounted cash flow valuation methodology that considers, among other things, projected default rates, loss given defaults and
recovery rates with no carryover of any existing allowance for credit losses. The provision for credit losses for the year ended
December 31, 2012 was $6.1 million compared with $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Net charge-offs for each of
the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $5.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The provision for credit losses and net
charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $13.6 million and $13.9 million, respectively.
Noninterest Income
The Company’s primary sources of recurring noninterest income are NSF fees, debit and ATM card income and service charges
on deposit accounts. During 2012, the Company added certain lines of business including trust services, credit card, ISO sponsorship
and mortgage lending operations with the acquisition of ASB on July 1, 2012. Noninterest income does not include loan origination
fees which are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method. For the year ended
December 31, 2012, noninterest income totaled $75.5 million, an increase of $19.5 million or 34.8% compared with 2011. This
increase was primarily due to the four acquisitions completed during 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2011, noninterest
income totaled $56.0 million, an increase of $2.2 million or 4.1% compared with $53.8 million in 2010. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in debit card and ATM card income and a reduction in net losses on sale of other real estate, partially offset by a
decrease in NSF fees.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, noninterest expense totaled $198.5 million, an increase of $34.7 million or 21.2%
compared with 2011. This increase was primarily related to the four acquisitions completed during 2012. The Company incurred
$7.0 million of pre-tax merger related expenses during 2012. The merger related expenses are reflected on the Company’s income
statement for the applicable periods and are reported primarily in the categories of salaries and benefits, data processing and
professional fees. For the year ended December 31, 2011, noninterest expense totaled $163.7 million, a decrease of $2.8 million or
1.7% compared with $166.6 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease was principally due to reductions in FDIC
assessments, reductions in ORE expenses and a decrease in core deposit intangibles amortization. These items and other changes in
the various components of noninterest expense are discussed in more detail below.

(1) Total salaries and employee benefits includes $3.6 million, $3.6 million and $3.0 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, in
stock-based compensation expense.
(2) Communications expense includes telephone, data circuits, postage and courier expenses.
Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and benefits were $115.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase
of $23.4 million compared to 2011. Salaries and benefits included additional merger related expenses of approximately $3.6 million
during 2012. The remaining increase was primarily due to the four acquisitions completed during 2012 which resulted in an increase
in employee FTE’s from 1,664 at December 31, 2011, to 2,266 at December 31, 2012. Salaries and employee benefits increased $5.1
million to $92.1 million at December 31, 2011, compared with $87.0 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to the full year
effect of the U.S. Bank and First Bank acquisitions and increases in incentive pay. The number of FTE’s employed by the Company
decreased from 1,708 at December 31, 2010 to 1,664 at December 31, 2011. Total salaries and benefits for the year ended
December 31, 2012 includes $3.6 million in stock-based compensation expense compared with $3.6 million and $3.0 million recorded
for each of the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Debit Card, Data Processing and Software Amortization. Debit card, data processing and software amortization expenses were
$9.4 million, $6.8 million and $6.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase of $2.6
million or 38.4% for 2012 compared to 2011 was due primarily to the addition of ASB on July 1, 2012 and merger related costs of
approximately $800 thousand.
Regulatory Assessments and FDIC Insurance. Regulatory assessments and FDIC insurance assessments were $7.7 million for
the year ended December 31, 2012, compared with $8.9 million and $11.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
respectively. The sequential decrease in regulatory assessment fees for both 2012 and 2011 was due to a change in the assessment
base used for determining fees. On February 7, 2011, the FDIC approved a final rule that amended its then-existing DIF restoration
plan and implemented certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Effective April 1, 2011, the assessment base is determined using
average consolidated total assets minus average tangible equity rather than the previous assessment base of adjusted domestic deposits
and the assessments rates were lowered to account for the larger assessment base. Additional information is discussed under the
section captioned “Supervision and Regulation—The Bank—Deposit Insurance Assessments” in Part I, Item 1 of this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.
Property Taxes. Property taxes increased $800 thousand or 20.91% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2011.
This increase is due primarily to the four acquisitions completed during 2012 that increased the number of banking centers from 175 at
December 31, 2011 to 213 at December 31, 2012. Property taxes decreased slightly from $3.9 million for the year ended December
31, 2010 to $3.8 million for 2011.
Core Deposit Intangibles Amortization. Core deposit intangibles (“CDI”) amortization decreased $551 thousand from $7.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and decreased $1.2 million or
13.7% from $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in CDI for both periods was primarily attributed to
certain CDI that fully amortized in 2011. The decrease in 2012 was partially offset by the addition of ASB in July 2012. Core deposit
intangibles are being amortized on an accelerated basis over an estimated life of eight to ten years.
Other Real Estate. Other real estate expense increased $309 thousand or 20.5% from $1.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2011 to $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in other real estate expenses was due to
increased other real estate carrying costs. Other real estate expense decreased $2.0 million or 56.9% from $3.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2010 to $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to reduced ORE
property recorded by the Company.
Professional Fees. Professional fees were $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $1.5 million or
58.5% compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily due to merger related expenses of approximately
$1.5 million incurred during 2012. Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2011, decreased $501 thousand or 16.2%
compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.
Efficiency Ratio. The efficiency ratio is a supplemental financial measure utilized in management’s internal evaluation of the
Company and is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles. The efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing total
noninterest expense, excluding credit loss provisions and impairment write-down on available for sale securities, by net interest
income plus noninterest income, excluding net gains and losses on the sale of securities and on the sale of assets. Taxes are not part of
this calculation. An increase in the efficiency ratio indicates that more resources are being utilized to generate the same volume of
income, while a decrease would indicate a more efficient allocation of resources. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 43.48% for the
year ended December 31, 2012, compared with 42.76% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The efficiency ratio for 2012 was
impacted by merger-related expenses of $7.0 million. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 44.83% for the year ended December 31,
2010.
39
Income Taxes
The amount of federal income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income,
and the amount of other nondeductible expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2012, income tax expense was $83.8 million
compared with $72.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $64.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. The
increases were primarily attributable to higher pretax net earnings. The effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011
and 2010 was 33.3%, 33.7% and 33.4%, respectively. The effective income tax rates differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 35%
during the comparable periods primarily due to the effect of tax-exempt income from loans and securities.
Impact of Inflation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These require the measurement of financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative value of money over time due to inflation or
recession.
Unlike many industrial companies, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result,
interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest
rates may not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. However, other
operating expenses do reflect general levels of inflation.

Financial Condition
Loan Portfolio
At December 31, 2012, total loans were $5.18 billion, an increase of $1.41 billion or 37.5% compared with $3.77 billion at
December 31, 2011. Loans at December 31, 2012, included $10.4 million of loans held for sale and consisted of residential mortgage
loans that were acquired as part of the acquisition of ASB in 2012. As reflected in the table below, loan growth was also impacted by
the acquisition of Texas Bankers, Inc., The Bank Arlington, ASB and Community National Bank. Excluding loans acquired in these
acquisitions and new production at the acquired banking centers since their respective acquisition dates, loans held for investment
grew approximately $234.9 million, or 6.2%. The table below provides details of loans acquired (including new production since the
respective acquisition date) as of December 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

At December 31, 2011, total loans were $3.77 billion, an increase of $280.9 million or 8.1% compared with $3.49 billion at
December 31, 2010. The increase was due to internal growth. At December 31, 2012, total loans were 44.5% of deposits and 35.5%
of total assets. At December 31, 2011, total loans were 46.7% of deposits and 38.3% of total assets.

Includes loans held for sale in 2012 and 2008.

(3) Includes net of accretable discounts on acquired loans of $63.6 million at December 31, 2012.
The Company’s commercial real estate loans increased from $1.35 billion at December 31, 2011, to $1.85 billion at December
31, 2012, an increase of $502.1 million or 37.1%. This increase was primarily related to the four acquisitions previously discussed.
The Company’s commercial real estate loans increased from $1.29 billion at December 31, 2010 to $1.35 billion at December 31,
2011, an increase of $64.0 million or 5.0%. The Company offers a variety of commercial lending products including term loans and
lines of credit. The Company offers a broad range of short to medium-term commercial loans, primarily collateralized, to businesses
for working capital (including inventory and receivables), business expansion (including acquisitions of real estate and improvements)
and the purchase of equipment and machinery. Historically, the Company has originated loans for its own account and has not
41
securitized its loans. The purpose of a particular loan generally determines its structure. All loans in the 1-4 family residential category
were originated by the Company.
All loans over $500 thousand and below $2.5 million are evaluated and acted upon on a daily basis by two of the eight
company-wide loan concurrence officers. All loans above $2.5 million are evaluated and acted upon by an officers’ loan committee
which meets weekly. In addition to the officers’ loan committee evaluation, loans from $15.0 million to $25.0 million are evaluated
and acted upon by the directors’ loan committee which consists of three directors of the Bank and meets as necessary. Loans over
$25.0 million are evaluated and acted upon by the Bank’s Board of Directors either at a regularly scheduled monthly board meeting or
by teleconference or written consent.
Commercial and Industrial Loans. In nearly all cases, the Company’s commercial loans are made in the Company’s market
areas and are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to service the debt from income. As a general practice, the Company
takes as collateral a lien on any available real estate, equipment or other assets owned by the borrower and obtains a personal guaranty
of the borrower or principal. Working capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas term loans are primarily
collateralized by long-term assets. In general, commercial loans involve more credit risk than residential mortgage loans and
commercial mortgage loans and, therefore, usually yield a higher return. The increased risk in commercial loans is due to the type of
collateral securing these loans. The increased risk also derives from the expectation that commercial loans generally will be serviced
principally from the operations of the business, and those operations may not be successful. Historical trends have shown these types
of loans to have higher delinquencies than mortgage loans. As a result of these additional complexities, variables and risks,
commercial loans require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans.
Commercial Real Estate. The Company makes commercial real estate loans collateralized by owner-occupied and non-owner-
occupied real estate to finance the purchase of real estate. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are collateralized by first liens
on real estate, typically have variable interest rates (or five year or less fixed rates) and amortize over a 15 to 20 year period. Payments
on loans secured by such properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties. Accordingly,
repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy to a greater extent than other
types of loans. The Company seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including giving careful consideration to the
property’s operating history, future operating projections, current and projected occupancy, location and physical condition in
connection with underwriting these loans. The underwriting analysis also includes credit verification, analysis of global cash flow,
appraisals and a review of the financial condition of the borrower.
1-4 Family Residential Loans. The Company’s lending activities also includes the origination of 1-4 family residential mortgage
loans collateralized by owner-occupied residential properties located in the Company’s market areas. The Company offers a variety of
mortgage loan products which generally are amortized over five to 25 years. Loans collateralized by 1-4 family residential real estate
generally have been originated in amounts of no more than 89% of appraised value or have mortgage insurance. The Company
requires mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance. Other than with respect to mortgage banking activities acquired in the ASB
acquisition, the Company has elected to keep all 1-4 family residential loans for its own account rather than selling such loans into the
secondary market. By doing so, the Company is able to realize a higher yield on these loans; however, the Company also incurs
interest rate risk as well as the risks associated with nonpayments on such loans.
Construction and Land Development Loans. The Company makes loans to finance the construction of residential and, to a lesser
extent, nonresidential properties. Construction loans generally are collateralized by first liens on real estate and have floating interest
rates. The Company conducts periodic inspections, either directly or through an agent, prior to approval of periodic draws on these
loans. Underwriting guidelines similar to those described above are also used in the Company’s construction lending activities.
Construction loans involve additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of a project under
construction, and the project is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Because of uncertainties inherent in estimating construction
costs, the market value of the completed project and the effects of governmental regulation on real property, it can be difficult to
accurately evaluate the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan to value ratio. As a result of these uncertainties,
construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the
ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower or guarantor to repay the loan. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a project
prior to completion, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to recover all of the unpaid portion of the loan. In addition,
the Company may be required to fund additional amounts to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an
indeterminate period of time. While the Company has underwriting procedures designed to identify what it believes to be acceptable
levels of risks in construction lending, no assurance can be given that these procedures will prevent losses from the risks described
above.
Agriculture Loans. The Company provides agriculture loans for short-term crop production, including rice, cotton, milo and
corn, farm equipment financing and agriculture real estate financing. The Company evaluates agriculture borrowers primarily based
on their historical profitability, level of experience in their particular agriculture industry, overall financial capacity and the
availability of secondary collateral to withstand economic and natural variations common to the industry. Because agriculture loans
present a higher level of risk associated with events caused by nature, the Company routinely makes on-site visits and inspections in
order to identify and monitor such risks.
42
Consumer Loans. Consumer loans made by the Company include direct “A”-credit automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans,
boat loans, home improvement loans, home equity loans, personal loans (collateralized and uncollateralized) and deposit account
collateralized loans. The terms of these loans typically range from 12 to 120 months and vary based upon the nature of collateral and
size of loan. Generally, consumer loans entail greater risk than do real estate secured loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans
that are unsecured or collateralized by rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a
defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan balance. The remaining deficiency
often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower beyond obtaining a deficiency judgment. In addition,
consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be adversely
affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws may limit
the amount which can be recovered on such loans.
The contractual maturity ranges of the 1-4 family residential, home equity, commercial and industrial, commercial real estate,
construction and land development and agriculture portfolios and the amount of such loans with predetermined interest rates and
floating rates in each maturity range as of December 31, 2012 are summarized in the following table. Contractual maturities are based
on contractual amounts outstanding and do not include loan purchase discounts of $79.9 million or loans held for sale of $10.4 million

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include loans on nonaccrual status, accruing loans 90 days past due or more, and real estate which has
been acquired through foreclosure and is awaiting disposition. Nonperforming assets do not include purchased loans that were
identified upon acquisition as having experienced credit deterioration since origination (“purchased credit impaired loans” or“PCI”).
The Company has several procedures in place to assist it in maintaining the overall quality of its loan portfolio. The Company
has established underwriting guidelines to be followed by its officers and the Company also monitors its delinquency levels for any
negative or adverse trends. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company’s loan portfolio will not become subject to
increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic conditions.
As part of the on-going monitoring of the Company’s loan portfolio and the methodology for calculating the allowance for
credit losses, management grades each loan from 1 to 7. Depending on the grade, loans in the same grade are aggregated and a loss
factor is applied to the total loans in the group to determine the allowance for credit losses. For certain loans in risk grades 5 to 7, a
specific reserve may be taken.
43
The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing interest when the payment of principal or
interest is delinquent for 90 days, or earlier in some cases, unless the loan is in the process of collection and the underlying collateral
fully supports the carrying value of the loan.
The Company requires appraisals on loans collateralized by real estate. With respect to potential problem loans, an evaluation of
the borrower’s overall financial condition is made to determine the need, if any, for possible writedowns or appropriate additions to
the allowance for credit losses.
The Company’s conservative lending approach has resulted in sound asset quality. The Company had $13.0 million in
nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012 compared with $12.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $15.8 million at December 31,
2010. The nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012 consisted of one hundred sixteen (116) separate credits or ORE properties. If
interest on nonaccrual loans had been accrued under the original loan terms, approximately $270 thousand, $253 thousand and $701
thousand would have been recorded as income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses is a valuation established through charges to earnings in the form of a provision for credit losses.
Management has established an allowance for credit losses which it believes is adequate for estimated losses in the Company’s loan
portfolio. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is affected by the following: (i) charge-offs of loans that occur when loans are
deemed uncollectible and decrease the allowance, (ii) recoveries on loans previously charged off that increase the allowance and
(iii) provisions for credit losses charged to earnings that increase the allowance. Based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio and
consideration of the factors listed below, management presents a quarterly review of the allowance for credit losses to the Bank’s
Board of Directors, indicating any change in the allowance since the last review and any recommendations as to adjustments in the
allowance.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses consists of two components: a specific valuation allowance based on probable losses
on specifically identified loans and a general valuation allowance based on historical loan loss experience, general economic
conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company.
In setting the specific valuation allowance, the Company follows a loan review program to evaluate the credit risk in the loan
portfolio and assigns risk grades to each loan. Through this loan review process, the Company maintains an internal list of impaired
loans which, along with the delinquency list of loans, helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. All loans that have been identified as impaired are reviewed on a quarterly basis in order
to determine whether a specific reserve is required. For certain impaired loans, the Company allocates a specific loan loss reserve
primarily based on the value of the collateral securing the impaired loan. The specific reserves are determined on an individual loan
basis. Loans for which specific reserves are provided are excluded from the general valuation allowance described below.
45
In determining the amount of the general valuation allowance, management considers factors such as historical loan loss
experience, industry diversification of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio, concentration risk of specific loan types, the volume,
growth and composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay
and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the Company’s loan portfolio through its internal loan review process, general economic
conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company and other relevant factors. Based on a review of
these factors for each loan type, the Company applies an estimated percentage to the outstanding balance of each loan type, excluding
any loan that has a specific reserve allocated to it. The Company uses this information to establish the amount of the general valuation
allowance.
In connection with its review of the loan portfolio, the Company considers risk elements attributable to particular loan types or
categories in assessing the quality of individual loans. Some of the risk elements include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
for 1-4 family residential mortgage loans, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, including a consideration of the debt to
income ratio and employment and income stability, the loan to value ratio, and the age, condition and marketability of
collateral;
for commercial mortgage loans and multifamily residential loans, the debt service coverage ratio (income from the property
in excess of operating expenses compared to loan payment requirements), operating results of the owner in the case of
owner-occupied properties, the loan to value ratio, the age and condition of the collateral and the volatility of income,
property value and future operating results typical of properties of that type;
for construction and land development loans, the perceived feasibility of the project including the ability to sell developed
lots or improvements constructed for resale or the ability to lease property constructed for lease, the quality and nature of
contracts for presale or prelease, if any, experience and ability of the developer and loan to value ratio;
for commercial and industrial loans, the operating results of the commercial, industrial or professional enterprise, the
borrower’s business, professional and financial ability and expertise, the specific risks and volatility of income and
operating results typical for businesses in that category and the value, nature and marketability of collateral;
for agricultural real estate loans, the experience and financial capability of the borrower, projected debt service coverage of
the operations of the borrower and loan to value ratio; and
for non-real estate agricultural loans, the operating results, experience and financial capability of the borrower, historical
and expected market conditions and the value, nature and marketability of collateral.
In addition, for each category, the Company considers secondary sources of income and the financial strength and credit history
of the borrower and any guarantors.
Loans acquired during 2012 were initially recorded at fair value, which included an estimate of credit losses expected to be
realized over the remaining lives of the loans, and therefore no corresponding allowance for loan losses was recorded for these loans at
acquisition. Methods utilized to estimate the required allowance for loan losses for acquired loans not deemed credit-impaired at
acquisition are similar to originated loans; however, the estimate of loss is based on the unpaid principal balance less the remaining
purchase discount.
At December 31, 2012, the allowance for credit losses totaled $52.6 million, or 1.01% of total loans. At December 31, 2011, the
allowance aggregated $51.6 million or 1.37% of total loans and at December 31, 2010, the allowance was $51.6 million or 1.48% of
total loans. The allowance for loans losses as a percentage of total loans decreased 36 basis points at December 31, 2012 compared to
December 31, 2011, due to acquired loans. At December 31, 2012, no allowance was required for acquired loans not deemed credit-
impaired and $56.2 million of purchase discounts remained. Purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans are not considered nonperforming
loans. PCI loans had $23.8 million of purchase discounts outstanding at December 31, 2012 of which $7.5 million is considered
accretable. No impairment charges or related allowances were required in 2012 for acquired PCI loans.
The following tables show the allocation of the allowance for credit losses among various categories of loans and certain other
information as of the dates indicated. The allocation is made for analytical purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the categories
in which future losses may occur. The total allowance is available to absorb losses from any loan category.

The Company believes that the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2012, is adequate to cover estimated losses in the
loan portfolio as of such date. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will not sustain losses in future periods, which
could be substantial in relation to the size of the allowance at December 31, 2012.
Securities
The Company uses its securities portfolio to manage interest rate risk and as a source of income and liquidity for cash
requirements. At December 31, 2012, the carrying amount of investment securities totaled $7.44 billion, an increase of $2.78 billion or
59.7% compared with $4.66 billion at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, securities represented 51.0% of total assets
compared with 47.4% of total assets at December 31, 2011. The increase in the securities portfolio during 2012 was due to the four
acquisitions completed during the year.
At the date of purchase, the Company is required to classify debt and equity securities into one of three categories: held to
maturity, trading or available for sale. At each reporting date, the appropriateness of the classification is reassessed. Investments in
debt securities are classified as held to maturity and measured at amortized cost in the financial statements only if management has the
positive intent and ability to hold those securities to maturity. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling
them in the near term are classified as trading and measured at fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses
included in earnings. Investments not classified as either held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale and measured at
fair value in the financial statements with unrealized gains and losses reported, net of tax, in a separate component of shareholders’
equity until realized.

Certain investment securities are valued at less than their historical cost. Management evaluates securities for other-than-
temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such
an evaluation.
In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair
value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (iii) whether the market decline was
affected by macroeconomic conditions and (iv) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be
required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists
involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
Management does not intend to sell any debt securities or more likely than not will not be required to sell any debt securities
before their anticipated recovery, at which time the Company will receive full value for the securities. Furthermore, as of
December 31, 2012, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities classified as available for sale and believes that
it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. As of December 31,
2012, management believes any impairment in the Company’s securities are temporary and no impairment loss has been realized in
the Company’s consolidated income statement. The Company recorded no other-than-temporary impairment charges in 2010, 2011 or
2012.

The contractual maturity of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations is not a reliable indicator of
their expected life because borrowers have the right to prepay their obligations at any time. Mortgage-backed securities monthly pay
downs cause the average lives of the securities to be much different than their stated lives. During a period of increasing interest rates,
fixed rate mortgage-backed securities do not tend to experience heavy prepayments of principal and consequently, the average life of
this security will be lengthened. If interest rates begin to fall, prepayments may increase, thereby shortening the estimated life of this
security. The weighted average life of the Company’s complete portfolio is 2.88 years with an effective duration of 2.99 years at
December 31, 2012.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not own securities of any one issuer (other than the U.S. government and its
agencies) for which aggregate adjusted cost exceeded 10% of the consolidated shareholders’ equity at such respective dates.
The average tax equivalent yield of the securities portfolio was 2.45% in 2012 compared with 3.41% in 2011 and 3.87% in
2010. The average yield excluding the tax equivalent adjustment was 2.33% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Both decreases in
yields were primarily due to the Company reinvesting funds at lower rates in 2012 and 2011 compared to 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The overall non-acquisition growth in the average securities portfolio over the comparable periods was primarily funded by deposit
growth.
Mortgage-backed securities are securities that have been developed by pooling a number of real estate mortgages and which are
principally issued by federal agencies such as Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac. These securities are deemed to have high credit ratings, and minimum regular monthly cash flows of principal and interest are
guaranteed by the issuing agencies.
Unlike U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities, which have a lump sum payment at maturity, mortgage-backed
securities provide cash flows from regular principal and interest payments and principal prepayments throughout the lives of the
securities. Premiums and discounts on mortgage-backed securities are amortized over the expected life of the security and may be
impacted by prepayments. As such, mortgage-backed securities which are purchased at a premium will generally suffer decreasing
net yields as interest rates drop because home owners tend to refinance their mortgages resulting in prepayments and an acceleration
of premium amortization. Securities purchased at a discount will obtain higher net yields in a decreasing interest rate environment as
prepayments result in a acceleration of discount accretion. At December 31, 2012, 69.1% of the mortgage-backed securities held by
the Company had contractual final maturities of more than ten years with a weighted average life of 3.17 years.
Collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) are bonds that are backed by pools of mortgages. The pools can be Ginnie Mae,
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac pools or they can be private-label pools. CMOs are designed so that the mortgage collateral will generate
49
a cash flow sufficient to provide for the timely repayment of the bonds. The mortgage collateral pool can be structured to
accommodate various desired bond repayment schedules, provided that the collateral cash flow is adequate to meet scheduled bond
payments. This is accomplished by dividing the bonds into classes to which payments on the underlying mortgage pools are allocated
in different order. The bond’s cash flow, for example, can be dedicated to one class of bondholders at a time, thereby increasing call
protection to bondholders. In private-label CMOs, losses on underlying mortgages are directed to the most junior of all classes and
then to the classes above in order of increasing seniority, which means that the senior classes have enough credit protection to be
given the highest credit rating by the rating agencies.
Deposits
The Company’s lending and investing activities are primarily funded by deposits. The Company offers a variety of deposit
accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms including demand, savings, money market and time accounts. The Company
relies primarily on competitive pricing policies and customer service to attract and retain these deposits. The Company does not have
or accept any brokered deposits.
Total deposits at December 31, 2012, were $11.64 billion, an increase of $3.58 billion or 44.4% compared with $8.06 billion at
December 31, 2011 due primarily to the four acquisitions completed during 2012. The Company added approximately $2.76 billion in
deposits as of December 31, 2012 with these acquisitions. Excluding these acquisitions, deposits increased approximately 10.1% for
the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to their level at December 31, 2011. Total deposits at December 31, 2011, were $8.06
billion, an increase of $605.3 million or 8.1% compared with $7.46 billion at December 31, 2010. Noninterest-bearing deposits at
December 31, 2012, were $3.02 billion compared with $1.97 billion at December 31, 2011, an increase of $1.04 billion or 52.9%.
Noninterest-bearing deposits at December 31, 2011, were $1.97 billion compared with $1.67 billion at December 31, 2010, an
increase of $299.0 million or 17.9%. Interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 2012, were $8.63 billion, up $2.54 billion or 41.7%
compared with $6.09 billion at December 31, 2011. Interest-bearing deposits at December 31, 2011, were $6.09 billion, up $306.3
million or 5.3% compared with $5.78 billion at December 31, 2010.

FHLB advances and long-term notes payable—The Company has an available line of credit with the FHLB of Dallas, which
allows the Company to borrow on a collateralized basis. FHLB advances are considered short-term, overnight borrowings and used to
manage liquidity as needed. Additionally, the Company utilizes long-term FHLB notes. Maturing advances are replaced by drawing
on available cash, making additional borrowings or through increased customer deposits. At December 31, 2012, the Company had
total funds of $3.71 billion available under this agreement of which a total amount of $256.8 million was outstanding. At December
31, 2012, short-term overnight FHLB advances of $245.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2012, at a rate of 0.17%. Long-
term notes payable were $11.8 million at December 31, 2012, with an average interest rate of 5.22%. The maturity dates on the FHLB
notes payable range from the years 2013 to 2028 and have interest rates ranging from 4.08% to 6.10%.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements— At December 31, 2012, the Company had $454.5 million in securities sold
under repurchase agreements compared with $54.9 million at December 31, 2011 with weighted average rates paid of 0.27% and
0.54% for years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Repurchase agreements with banking customers are generally
settled on the following business day. Approximately, $23.5 million of repurchase agreements outstanding at December 31, 2012,
51
have maturity dates ranging from one to sixteen months. All securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized by
certain pledged securities.
Junior Subordinated Debentures
At both December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had outstanding $85.1 million in junior subordinated debentures issued to
the Company’s unconsolidated subsidiary trusts. On March 7, 2011, the Company redeemed $7.2 million in junior subordinated
debentures held by TXUI Statutory Trust I that bore a fixed interest rate of 10.60%. A penalty of $383 thousand was incurred in
connection with the payoff and recorded as interest expense.

(1) The 3-month LIBOR in effect as of December 31, 2012 was 0.306%.
(2) All debentures are callable five years from issuance date.
Each of the trusts is a capital or statutory business trust organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and investing
the proceeds in the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The preferred trust securities of each trust represent preferred
beneficial interests in the assets of the respective trusts and are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the junior
subordinated debentures held by the trust. The common securities of each trust are wholly owned by the Company. Each trust’s ability
to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment on the related junior
subordinated debentures. The debentures, which are the only assets of each trust, are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all
of the Company’s present and future senior indebtedness. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed each trust’s
obligations under the trust securities issued by such trust to the extent not paid or made by each trust, provided such trust has funds
available for such obligations.
Under the provisions of each issue of the debentures, the Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the debentures
at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on either issue of the debentures are
deferred, the distributions on the applicable trust preferred securities and common securities will also be deferred.
Interest Rate Sensitivity and Market Risk
The Company’s asset liability and funds management policy provides management with the guidelines for effective funds
management, and the Company has established a measurement system for monitoring its net interest rate sensitivity position. The
Company manages its sensitivity position within established guidelines.
As a financial institution, the Company’s primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest
rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and the
market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest
rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of
52
future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair market values. The objective is to measure the effect on net interest income and
to adjust the balance sheet to minimize the inherent risk while at the same time maximizing income.
The Company manages its exposure to interest rates by structuring its balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. The
Company does not enter into instruments such as leveraged derivatives, interest rate swaps, financial options, financial future contracts
or forward delivery contracts for the purpose of reducing interest rate risk. Based upon the nature of the Company’s operations, the
Company is not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. The Company does not own any trading assets.
The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk is managed by the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”), which is composed of
senior officers of the Company, in accordance with policies approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The ALCO formulates
strategies based on appropriate levels of interest rate risk. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the ALCO
considers the impact on earnings and capital of the current outlook on interest rates, potential changes in interest rates, regional
economies, liquidity, business strategies and other factors. The ALCO meets regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of
assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and market values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase
and sale activities, commitments to originate loans and the maturities of investments and borrowings. Additionally, the ALCO reviews
liquidity, cash flow flexibility, maturities of deposits and consumer and commercial deposit activity. Management uses two
methodologies to manage interest rate risk: (i) an analysis of relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities; and (ii) an interest rate shock simulation model. The Company has traditionally managed its business to reduce its overall
exposure to changes in interest rates.
An interest rate sensitive asset or liability is one that, within a defined time period, either matures or experiences an interest rate
change in line with general market interest rates. The management of interest rate risk is performed by analyzing the maturity and
repricing relationships between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at specific points in time (“GAP”) and by
analyzing the effects of interest rate changes on net interest income over specific periods of time by projecting the performance of the
mix of assets and liabilities in varied interest rate environments. Interest rate sensitivity reflects the potential effect on net interest
income of a movement in interest rates. A company is considered to be asset sensitive, or having a positive GAP, when the amount of
its interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a given period exceeds the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities also
maturing or repricing within that time period. Conversely, a company is considered to be liability sensitive, or having a negative GAP,
when the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given period exceeds the amount of its interest-
earning assets also maturing or repricing within that time period. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative GAP would tend to
affect net interest income adversely, while a positive GAP would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period
of falling interest rates, a negative GAP would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive GAP would tend to
affect net interest income adversely.

While the GAP position is a useful tool in measuring interest rate risk and contributes toward effective asset and liability
management, it is difficult to predict the effect of changing interest rates solely on that measure, without accounting for alterations in
the maturity or repricing characteristics of the balance sheet that occur during changes in market interest rates. For example, the GAP
position reflects only the prepayment assumptions pertaining to the current rate environment. Assets tend to prepay more rapidly
during periods of declining interest rates than during periods of rising interest rates. Because of this and other risk factors not
contemplated by the GAP position, an institution could have a matched GAP position in the current rate environment and still have its
net interest income exposed to increased rate risk. Additionally, the Company had $3.02 billion in noninterest-bearing deposits at
December 31, 2012 that are not reflected in the table above and are not directly impacted by interest rate changes.
The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or
precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s
simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the
application and timing of various management strategies.
In addition to GAP analysis, the Company uses an interest rate risk simulation model and shock analysis to test the interest rate
sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet, respectively. Contractual maturities and repricing opportunities of loans are
incorporated in the model as are prepayment assumptions, maturity data and call options within the investment portfolio. Assumptions
based on past experience are incorporated into the model for nonmaturity deposit accounts. The assumptions used are inherently
uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations
in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude
and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management
strategies.
54
The Company utilizes static balance sheet rate shocks to estimate the potential impact on net interest income of changes in
interest rates under various rate scenarios. This analysis estimates a percentage of change in the metric from the stable rate base
scenario versus alternative scenarios of rising and falling market interest rates by instantaneously shocking a static balance sheet. The
following table summarizes the simulated change in net interest income over a 12-month horizon as of December 31, 2012:

The results are primarily due to behavior of demand, money market and savings deposits during such rate fluctuations. The
Company has found that historically, interest rates on these deposits change more slowly than changes in the discount and federal
funds rates. This assumption is incorporated into the simulation model and is generally not fully reflected in a GAP analysis. The
assumptions incorporated into the model are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure future net
interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ
from the model’s simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market
conditions and the application and timing of various strategies.
Liquidity
Liquidity involves the Company’s ability to raise funds to support asset growth and acquisitions or reduce assets to meet deposit
withdrawals and other payment obligations, to maintain reserve requirements and otherwise to operate the Company on an ongoing
basis and manage unexpected events. During 2011 and 2012, the Company’s liquidity needs have primarily been met by growth in
core deposits, security and loan maturities and amortizing investment and loan portfolios. Although access to purchased funds from
correspondent banks and overnight advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank-Dallas are available and have been utilized on
occasion to take advantage of investment opportunities, the Company does not generally rely on these external funding sources.

The Company’s largest source of funds is deposits and its largest uses of funds are securities and loans. The Company does not
expect a change in the source or use of its funds in the foreseeable future. The Company’s average loans increased 37.6% for the year
ended December 31, 2012 compared with the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company predominantly invests excess deposits in
government backed securities until the funds are needed to fund loan growth. The Company’s securities portfolio has a weighted
average life of 2.88 years and an effective duration of 2.99 years at December 31, 2012.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding $942.6 million in commitments to extend credit and $28.7 million in
commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and
commitments to extend credit may expire unused, the total outstanding may not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding
requirements.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no exposure to future cash requirements associated with known uncertainties or
capital expenditures of a material nature.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $326.3 million compared with $213.4 million at
December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the four acquisitions completed during 2012.

Contractual Obligations
The following table summarizes the Company’s contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of
December 31, 2012 (other than deposit obligations and securities sold repurchase agreements). The Company’s future cash payments
associated with its contractual obligations pursuant to its junior subordinated debentures, FHLB notes payable and operating leases as
of December 31, 2012 are summarized below. Payments for junior subordinated debentures include interest of $48.9 million that will
be paid over the future periods. The future interest payments were calculated using the current rate in effect at December 31, 2012.
The current principal balance of the junior subordinated debentures at December 31, 2012 was $85.1 million. Payments for FHLB
notes payable include interest of $2.8 million that will be paid over the future periods. Payments related to leases are based on actual

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions, which, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, are not included in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company enters into these
transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit expiring
by period as of December 31, 2012 are summarized below. Since commitments associated with letters of credit and commitments to
extend credit may expire unused, the amounts shown do not necessarily reflect the actual future cash funding requirements:

Standby Letters of Credit. Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement
with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the
Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, the
Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. The Company’s policies generally require that standby letter of credit
arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.
Commitments to Extend Credit. The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed
expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of the Company’s commitments
to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. The Company
minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.
Management assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in determining the level of the allowance
for credit losses.
57
Capital Resources
Capital management consists of providing equity to support the Company’s current and future operations. The Company is
subject to capital adequacy requirements imposed by the Federal Reserve Board and the Bank is subject to capital adequacy
requirements imposed by the FDIC. Both the Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have adopted risk-based capital requirements for
assessing bank holding company and bank capital adequacy. These standards define capital and establish minimum capital
requirements in relation to assets and off-balance sheet exposure, adjusted for credit risk. The risk-based capital standards currently in
effect are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among bank holding
companies and banks, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and
off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate relative risk weights. The resulting capital ratios
represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items.
The risk-based capital standards issued by the Federal Reserve Board require all bank holding companies to have “Tier 1
capital” of at least 4.0% and “total risk-based” capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) of at least 8.0% of total risk-weighted assets. “Tier 1 capital”
generally includes common shareholders’ equity and qualifying perpetual preferred stock together with related surpluses and retained
earnings, less deductions for goodwill and various other intangibles. “Tier 2 capital” may consist of a limited amount of intermediate-
term preferred stock, a limited amount of term subordinated debt, certain hybrid capital instruments and other debt securities,
perpetual preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1 capital, and a limited amount of the general valuation allowance for loan losses. The
sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital is “total risk-based capital.”
The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted guidelines which supplement the risk-based capital guidelines with a minimum
ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total consolidated tangible assets, or “leverage ratio,” of 3.0% for institutions with well diversified
risk, including no undue interest rate exposure; excellent asset quality; high liquidity; good earnings; and that are generally considered
to be strong banking organizations, rated composite 1 under applicable federal guidelines, and that are not experiencing or anticipating
significant growth. Other banking organizations are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4.0%. These rules further provide
that banking organizations experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain capital positions
substantially above the minimum supervisory levels and comparable to peer group averages, without significant reliance on intangible
assets.
Pursuant to FDICIA, each federal banking agency revised its risk-based capital standards to ensure that those standards take
adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risks of nontraditional activities, as well as reflect the actual
performance and expected risk of loss on multifamily mortgages. The Bank is subject to capital adequacy guidelines of the FDIC that
are substantially similar to the Federal Reserve Board’s guidelines. Also pursuant to FDICIA, the FDIC has promulgated regulations
setting the levels at which an insured institution such as the Bank would be considered “well-capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,”
“undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” Under the FDIC’s regulations, the Bank is
classified “well-capitalized” for purposes of prompt corrective action.
Total shareholders’ equity increased to $2.09 billion at December 31, 2012, compared with $1.57 billion at December 31, 2011,
an increase of $522.1 million or 33.3%. This increase was primarily the result of net income of $167.9 million and common stock
issued in connection with acquisitions of $393.1 million, partially offset by dividends paid on the common stock of $41.5 million.
The following table provides a comparison of the Company’s and the Bank’s leverage and risk-weighted capital ratios as of
December 31, 2012 to the minimum and well-capitalized regulatory standards:

(1) The Federal Reserve Board may require the Company to maintain a leverage ratio above the required minimum.

As of December 31, 2012, all trust preferred securities were counted as Tier 1 capital. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company
must deduct all trust preferred securities issued on or after May 19, 2010 from the Company’s Tier 1 capital; however, bank holding
58
companies that had less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, such as the Company, are not required
to deduct existing trust preferred securities issued prior to May 19, 2010 from Tier 1 capital.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was
required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31,

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As of December 31, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework,”
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. This assessment included controls
over the preparation of the schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the instructions for the
Consolidated Financial Statements for Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C) to meet the reporting requirements of Section 112
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. Based on the assessment, management determined that the Company
maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012.
Deloitte & Touche LLP the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of
the Company included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. The report is included in this Item under the heading “Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm.”
Compliance with Designated Laws and Regulations
Management is also responsible for ensuring compliance with the federal laws and regulations concerning loans to insiders and
the federal and state laws and regulations concerning dividend restrictions, both of which are designated by the FDIC as safety and
soundness laws and regulations.
Management assessed its compliance with the designated safety and soundness laws and regulations and has maintained records
of its determinations and assessments as required by the FDIC. Based on this assessment, management believes that the Company has
complied with the designated safety and soundness laws and regulations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as
of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Because management’s assessment and our audit were conducted to meet the
reporting requirements of Section 112 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), management’s
assessment and our audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting included controls over the preparation of the
schedules equivalent to the basic financial statements in accordance with the instructions for the Consolidated Financial Statements for
Bank Holding Companies (Form FR Y-9C). The Company’s management is responsible 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 the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s
principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of
directors, management, and other personnel 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 the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper
management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to
the risk that the 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 Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have not examined and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management’s
statement referring to compliance with laws and regulations.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 of the Company and our report dated February 28,
2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company")
as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prosperity
Bancshares, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated
February 28, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PROSPERITY BANCSHARES, INC.® AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations—Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.® (“Bancshares”) and its subsidiaries, Prosperity Holdings of Delaware,
LLC (“Holdings”) and Prosperity Bank® (the “Bank”, and together with Bancshares and Holdings, collectively referred to as the
“Company”) provide retail and commercial banking services. The Company operates its business as one domestic segment.
The Bank operated two hundred thirteen (213) full-service banking locations; with fifty-nine (59) in the Houston area, twenty
(20) in the South Texas area including Corpus Christi and Victoria, thirty-four (34) in the Central Texas area, ten (10) in the
Bryan/College Station area, twenty-one (21) in East Texas, thirty-four (34) in the West Texas area including Lubbock, Midland-
Odessa, and Abilene, and thirty-five (35) in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area.
Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies—The accounting and reporting policies of the Company
conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices within the
financial services industry. A summary of significant accounting and reporting policies are as follows:
Basis of Presentation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancshares and its subsidiaries.
Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a
company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one
reportable operating segment. Because the overall banking operations comprise the vast majority of the consolidated operations, no
separate segment disclosures are presented.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but
are not limited to certain fair value measures including the calculation of stock-based compensation, the valuation of goodwill and
available for sale securities and the calculation of allowance for credit losses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Securities —Securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and the accretion of
discounts. Management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold these assets as long-term securities until their
estimated maturities.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported, net of
tax, as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. Securities within the available for sale portfolio may be used as
part of the Company’s asset/liability strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest rate risk, prepayment risk or other
similar economic factors.
For debt securities, when other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) occurs, the amount of the other-than-temporary
impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to
sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss. If an entity intends to sell or more likely
than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period credit loss, the OTTI
shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the
balance sheet date. If an entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to
sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current-period loss, the OTTI shall be separated into the amount
representing the credit-related portion of the impairment loss (“credit loss”) and the noncredit portion of the impairment loss
(“noncredit portion”). The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the difference between the
present value of cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis and such difference is recognized in earnings. The
amount of the total OTTI related to the noncredit portion is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The
previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings shall become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.
Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted to operations using the level-yield method of accounting, adjusted for
prepayments as applicable. The specific identification method of accounting is used to compute gains or losses on the sales of these
assets. Interest earned on these assets is included in interest income.
Loans Held for Sale—Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Premiums, discounts and
loan fees (net of certain direct loan origination costs) on loans held for sale are deferred until the related loans are sold or repaid. Gains
or losses on loan sales are recognized at the time of sale and determined using the specific identification method.
75
Loans Held for Investment—Loans originated and held for investment are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of
unearned discount and fees. The related interest income for multipayment loans is recognized principally by the simple interest
method; for single payment loans, such income is recognized using the straight-line method.
Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value based on a discounted cash flow valuation
methodology that considers, among other things, projected default rates, loss given defaults and recovery rates with no carryover of
any existing allowance for loan losses. Acquired loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration at acquisition are reviewed to
determine if it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all contractual amounts due, including both principal and
interest. When both conditions exist, such loans are accounted for as purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”).
The Company estimates the total cash flows expected to be collected from the acquired PCI loans, which include undiscounted
expected principal and interest, using credit risk, interest rate and prepayment risk models that incorporate management's best estimate
of current key assumptions such as default rates, loss severity and payment speeds. The excess of the undiscounted total cash flows
expected to be collected over the fair value of the related PCI loans represents the accretable yield, which is recognized as interest
income on a level-yield basis over the life of the related loan. The difference between the undiscounted contractual principal and
interest and the undiscounted total cash flows expected to be collected is the nonaccretable difference, which reflects the impact of
estimated credit losses and other factors. Subsequent increases in expected cash flows will result in a recovery of any previously
recorded allowance for loan losses, to the extent applicable, and a reclassification from nonaccretable difference to accretable yield,
which is recognized prospectively over the then remaining lives of the loan. Subsequent decreases in expected cash flows will result in
an impairment charge to the provision for loan losses, resulting in an addition to the allowance for loan losses, and a reclassification
from accretable yield to nonaccretable difference. A loan disposal, which may include a loan sale, receipt of payment in full from the
borrower or foreclosure, results in removal of the loan at its allocated carrying amount.
For acquired loans not deemed credit-impaired at acquisition, the difference between the initial fair value and the unpaid
principal balance is recognized as interest income on a level-yield basis over the lives of the related loans.
Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Lending Activities—Loan origination fees in excess of the associated costs
are recognized over the life of the related loan as an adjustment to yield using the interest method.
Loan commitment fees and loan origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of yield by the interest method
over the related loan life or, if the commitment expires unexercised, recognized in income upon expiration of the commitment.
Nonperforming and Past Due Loans—Included in the nonperforming loan category are loans which have been categorized by
management as nonaccrual because collection of interest is doubtful and loans which have been restructured to provide a reduction in
the interest rate or a deferral of interest or principal payments. When the payment of principal or interest on a loan is delinquent for 90
days, or earlier in some cases, the loan is placed on nonaccrual status unless the loan is in the process of collection and the underlying
collateral fully supports the carrying value of the loan. If the decision is made to continue accruing interest on the loan, periodic
reviews are made to confirm the accruing status of the loan. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued during the
current year prior to the judgment of uncollectibility is charged to operations. Interest accrued during prior periods is charged to the
allowance for credit losses. Any payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied first to outstanding loan amounts and next to the
recovery of charged-off loan amounts. Any excess is treated as recovery of lost interest.
Restructured loans are those loans on which concessions in terms have been granted because of a borrower’s financial difficulty.
Interest is generally accrued on such loans in accordance with the new terms.
Allowance for Credit Losses—The allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance available for losses incurred on loans.
All losses are charged to the allowance when the loss actually occurs or when a determination is made that such a loss is probable.
Recoveries are credited to the allowance at the time of recovery.
Throughout the year, management estimates the probable level of losses to determine whether the allowance for credit losses is
adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Based on these estimates, an amount is charged to the provision for credit
losses and credited to the allowance for credit losses in order to adjust the allowance to a level determined to be adequate to absorb
losses.
In making its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, management considers factors such as historical loan
loss experience, industry diversification of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio, the amount of nonperforming assets and related
collateral, the volume, growth and composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the
borrower’s ability to pay and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the Company’s loan portfolio through its internal loan review
process and other relevant factors.
76
Estimates of credit losses involve an exercise of judgment. While it is possible that in the short term the Company may sustain
losses which are substantial in relation to the allowance for credit losses, it is the judgment of management that the allowance for
credit losses reflected in the consolidated balance sheets is adequate to absorb probable losses that exist in the current loan portfolio.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses consists of two elements: (i) specific valuation allowances based on probable losses
on impaired loans; and (ii) a general valuation allowance based on historical loan loss experience, general economic conditions and
other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company. A loan is defined as impaired if, based on current information
and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due, both interest and principal, according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. The allowance for credit losses related to impaired loans is determined based on the
difference of carrying value of loans and the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as
a practical expedient, the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Loans acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value, which includes an estimate of credit losses expected
to be realized over the remaining lives of the loans, and therefore no corresponding allowance for loan losses is recorded for these
loans at acquisition. Methods utilized to estimate any subsequently required allowance for loan losses for acquired loans not deemed
credit-impaired at acquisition are similar to originated loans; however, the estimate of loss is based on the unpaid principal balance
and then compared to any remaining unaccreted purchase discount. To the extent that the calculated loss is greater than the remaining
unaccreted purchase discount, an allowance is recorded for such difference.
Premises and Equipment—Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is
computed principally using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to 39 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the periods of the leases or the estimated useful lives,
whichever is shorter.
Goodwill —Goodwill is annually assessed for impairment or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-08, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic
350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment," (ASU 2011-08), which allows companies to use a qualitative approach to assess goodwill for
impairment. The provisions of ASU 2011-08 give companies the option to first assess 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 as a basis for determining the need to
perform step one of the annual test for goodwill impairment. An entity has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative
assessment described in the preceding paragraph for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step
of the goodwill impairment test. An entity may resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.
If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, a two-step goodwill impairment test is performed. The first step of the
goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit to its carrying value. If the estimated fair
value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the estimated fair value of the
reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the second step must be performed to determine the implied fair value of the reporting
unit’s goodwill and the amount of goodwill impairment, if any.
Estimating the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit is a subjective process involving the use of estimates and judgments,
particularly related to future cash flows of the reporting units, discount rates (including market risk premiums) and market multiples.
Material assumptions used in the valuation models included the comparable public company price multiples used in the terminal
value, future cash flows and the market risk premium component of the discount rate. The estimated fair value of the reporting unit is
determined using a blend of two commonly used valuation techniques: the market approach and the income approach. The Company
gives consideration to both valuation techniques, as either technique can be an indicator of value. For the market approach, valuation
is based on an analysis of relevant price multiples in market trades in companies with similar characteristics. For the income approach,
estimated future cash flows (derived from internal forecasts and economic expectations) and terminal value (value at the end of the
cash flow period, based on price multiples) are discounted. The discount rate was based on the imputed cost of equity capital.
Amortization of Core Deposit Intangibles—Core deposit intangibles are amortized using an accelerated amortization method
over an 8 to 10 year period.
Income Taxes—Bancshares files a consolidated federal income tax return.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are recorded in other assets on the
77
Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a
two-step process whereby (1) the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the
basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the
Company recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with
the related tax authority.
Realization of net deferred tax assets is based upon the level of historical income and on estimates of future taxable income.
Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the net deferred tax assets will be
realized.
Stock-Based Compensation—The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation plans using the fair value-based
method of accounting. The expense associated with stock-based compensation is recognized over the vesting period of each
individual arrangement. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the current
market price on the date of grant.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from
banks as well as federal funds sold that mature in three days or less.
Earnings Per Common Share—Basic earnings per common share are calculated using the two-class method. The two-class
method provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents
(whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of basic earnings per share.
Diluted earnings per common share is computed using the weighted-average number of shares determined for the basic earnings
per common share computation plus the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock using the treasury stock method. Outstanding stock options issued by the Company
represent the only dilutive effect reflected in diluted weighted average shares.
The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

There were no stock options exercisable at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 that would have had an anti-dilutive effect on the
above computation.
Reclassifications—Certain items in prior financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, deferred tax expense (benefit) was reported as a component of the
increase/decrease in accrued interest payable and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. For the current year
presentation, these amounts are now presented as a separate line item in the statements of consolidated cash flows. These
reclassifications did not have any impact on total net cash from operating activities for the periods presented.

New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”)
ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)—Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” ASU
2011-03 is intended to improve financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a
transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity. ASU 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective
control (i) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the
agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee, and (ii) the collateral maintenance guidance related to that criterion. ASU
2011-03 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU 2011-04 amends Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”
to converge the fair value measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial
Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain
principles in Topic 820 and requires additional fair value disclosures. ASU 2011-04 became effective for the Company on January 1,
2012, and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements although additional disclosures are required (see
Note 7-Fair Value).
ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 amends Topic
220, “Comprehensive Income,” to require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single
continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, ASU 2011-05 requires
entities to present, on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other
comprehensive income to net income in the statement or statements where the components of net income and the components of other
comprehensive income are presented. The option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of
changes in stockholders’ equity was eliminated. ASU 2011-05 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012; however,
certain provisions related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments have been deferred by ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive
Income (Topic 220)—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,” as further discussed below. In connection
with the application of ASU 2011-05, the Company’s financial statements now include a separate statement of comprehensive income.
ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” ASU 2011-08 amends Topic
350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other,” to give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the
existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less
than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines 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.
However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step impairment test by calculating
the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. ASU 2011-08 became
effective for the Company on January 1, 2012, and its adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210)—“Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 amends Topic
210, “Balance Sheet,” to require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments, such as sales and
repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing/lending arrangements, and derivative
instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and/or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar
agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2013, and is not expected to have a
significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASU 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of
Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU
2011-12 defers changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments to allow the FASB time to
redeliberate whether to require presentation of such adjustments on the face of the financial statements to show the effects of
reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income.
ASU 2011-12 allows entities to continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income consistent with
the presentation requirements in effect before ASU 2011-05. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-
12. ASU 2011-12 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. In connection with the application of ASU 2011-05, the
Company’s financial statements now include a separate statement of comprehensive income.
ASU 2012-02 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.”
ASU 2012-02 give entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances
leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality
79
of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the
entity must perform the quantitative impairment test. If, under the quantitative impairment test, the carrying amount of the intangible
asset exceeds its fair value, an entity should recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess. Permitting an entity to assess
qualitative factors when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment results in guidance that is similar to the goodwill
impairment testing guidance in ASU 2011-08. ASU 2012-02 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2013, (early adoption
permitted) and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASU 2012-03 “Technical Amendments and Corrections to SEC Sections—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC
Staff Bulletin No. 114, Technical Amendments Pursuant to SEC Release No. 33-9250, and Corrections Related to FASB Accounting
Standards Update 2010-22.” ASU 2012-03 amends a number of SEC sections in the ASC as a result of (1) the issuance of SAB 114,
(2) the issuance of SEC Final Rule 33-9250, and (3) necessary corrections related to ASU 2010-22. ASU 2012-03 is effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2013 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
ASU 2012-04 “Technical Corrections and Improvements.” ASU 2012-04 makes certain technical corrections and “conforming
fair value amendments” to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). The amendments cover a wide range of
Topics in the Codification, related to technical corrections and improvements and conforming amendments related to fair value
measurements. The amendments represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make
minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice. The
amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of those topics. ASU 2012-04 is effective for the Company beginning
January 1, 2013, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.
2. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisitions are an integral part of the Company’s growth strategy. All acquisitions were accounted for using the acquisition
method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities were recorded at their fair values at the
acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets for tax free acquisitions was recorded
as goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net
assets for taxable acquisitions was also recorded as goodwill, and is deductible for tax purposes. The identified core deposit
intangibles for each acquisition are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method over an 8 to 10 year life. The results of
operations for each acquisition have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial results beginning on the respective
acquisition date.
The measurement period for the Company to determine the fair values of acquired identifiable assets and assumed liabilities will
end at the earlier of (i) twelve months from the date of the acquisition or (ii) as soon as the Company receives the information it was
seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date or learns that more information is not obtainable. The
Company is currently in the process of obtaining fair values for certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities and therefore the
following estimates are preliminary. The following acquisitions were completed on the dates indicated:
Acquisition of Texas Bankers, Inc.—On January 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Texas Bankers, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Texas, Austin, Texas. The three (3) Bank of Texas banking offices in the Austin, Texas CMSA
consisted of a location in Rollingwood, which was consolidated with the Company’s Westlake location and remains in Bank of Texas’
Rollingwood banking office; one banking center in downtown Austin, which was consolidated into the Company’s downtown Austin
location; and another banking center in Thorndale. The Company acquired Texas Bankers, Inc. to increase is its market share in the
Central Texas area. The acquisition is not considered significant to the Company’s financial statements and therefore pro forma
financial data and related disclosures are not included.
Texas Bankers, Inc. on a consolidated basis, reported total assets of $77.0 million, total loans of $27.6 million and total deposits
of $70.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company issued 314,953 shares of
Company common stock for all outstanding shares of Texas Bankers capital stock, resulting in an acquisition date fair value of $12.7
million, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $40.35. The Company recognized goodwill of $6.1 million which is calculated
as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired,
none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition of The Bank Arlington—On April 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of The Bank Arlington. The
Bank Arlington operated one banking office in Arlington, Texas, in the Dallas/Fort Worth CMSA. The Company acquired The Bank
Arlington to increase its market share in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. The acquisition is not considered significant to the Company’s
financial statements and therefore pro forma financial data and related disclosures are not included.
80
As of March 31, 2012, The Bank Arlington reported total assets of $37.3 million, total loans of $22.9 million and total deposits
of $33.2 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company issued 135,347 shares of Company common stock for all
outstanding shares of The Bank Arlington capital stock, resulting in an acquisition date fair value of $6.2 million, based on the
Company’s closing stock price of $45.80. The Company recognized goodwill of $2.1 million which is calculated as the excess of both
the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, none of which is
expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition of Community National Bank—On October 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Community National
Bank, Bellaire, Texas. Community National Bank operated one (1) banking office in Bellaire, Texas, in the Houston Metropolitan
Area. The Company acquired Community National Bank to increase its market share in the Houston area. The acquisition is not
considered significant to the Company’s financial statements and therefore pro forma financial data is not included.
As of September 30, 2012, Community National Bank reported total assets of $182.0 million, total loans of $68.0 million and
total deposits of $164.6 million. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company issued 372,282 shares of Company
common stock plus $11.4 million in cash for all outstanding shares of Community National Bank capital stock, for total merger
consideration of $27.3 million, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $42.62. The Company recognized goodwill of $10.3
million which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of
identifiable assets acquired, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
Acquisition of American State Financial Corporation—On July 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of American
State Financial Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary American State Bank (collectively referred to as “ASB”). ASB operated
thirty-seven (37) full service banking offices in eighteen (18) counties across West Texas.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company issued 8,524,835 shares of Company common stock plus $178.5
million in cash for all outstanding shares of American State Financial Corporation capital stock, for total merger consideration of
$536.8 million based on the Company’s closing stock price of $42.03.
The assets and liabilities of ASB were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at estimated fair value on the acquisition date.
The purchase price allocation may change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are completed. The
following table presents the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet on the acquisition date (dollars in thousands).

The Company recognized goodwill of $274.1 million which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and
liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill resulted from a combination of expected
operational synergies, an enhanced branching network, and cross-selling opportunities. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for
tax purposes.
Pro Forma Information: Operations of ASB have been included in the consolidated financial statements since July 1, 2012. The
Company does not consider ASB a separate reporting segment and does not track the amount of revenue and net income attributable
to ASB since acquisition. As such, it is impracticable to determine such amounts for the period from July 1, 2012 through December
31, 2012.
The following pro forma information presents the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012, as if the ASB
acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2011. The acquisitions of Texas Bankers, Inc., The Bank Arlington, and Community National
Bank are not deemed material individually or in the aggregate and are therefore excluded from the pro forma information in the table
below (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts).

The above pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the
actual results of operations of the merged companies that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred at January 1, 2011,
nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations. The pro forma results do not include expected
operating cost savings as a result of the acquisition. These pro forma results require significant estimates and judgments particularly
as it relates to valuation and accretion of income associated with acquired loans. Pro forma adjustments principally included:
• Reversing interest income and interest expense as previously recorded by ASB and recording interest income and interest
expense based on impact of estimated fair values of the acquired interest earning assets and assumed interest bearing
liabilities.
• Reversing depreciation and amortization expense recorded by ASB and reporting depreciation and amortization based on
estimated fair values and remaining lives of acquired premises, equipment, and leasehold improvements.
• Reversing core deposit intangible amortization as previously recorded by ASB and recording amortization expense as it
relates to the core deposit intangible recognized from the acquisition.
• Reporting acquisition-related charges and professional fees related to the acquisition as if they were incurred in 2011.
Merger Related Expenses: The Company incurred $7.0 million of pre-tax merger related expenses during 2012. The merger
expenses are reflected on the Company’s income statement for the applicable periods and are reported primarily in the categories of
salaries and benefits, data processing and professional fees. Merger related costs by acquisition are presented in the table below
(dollars in thousands).

Acquired Loans and Purchase Credit Impaired Loans: Acquired loans were preliminarily recorded at fair value based on a
discounted cash flow valuation methodology that considers, among other things, projected default rates, loss given defaults and
recovery rates. No allowance for credit losses was carried over from acquisitions completed during 2012.
82
The Company has identified certain loans acquired by ASB and Community National Bank which have experienced credit
deterioration since origination (“purchased credit impaired loans” or “PCI loans”). There were no PCI loans identified in the
remaining acquisitions completed during 2012. PCI loan identification considers the following factors: payment history and past due
status, debt service coverage, loan grading, collateral values and other factors that may indicate deterioration of credit quality since
origination. Accretion of purchased discounts on PCI loans will be based on estimated future cash flows, regardless of contractual
maturities. Accretion of purchased discounts on non-PCI loans will be recognized on a level-yield basis based on contractual maturity
of individual loans.

The process for identifying, valuing and determining pools (if any) of the loans that were (or may be) considered PCI loans as of
the acquisition date remains on-going. Income recognition on PCI loans is subject to the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate
both the timing and amount of future cash flows. PCI loans for which the Company is accruing interest income are not considered
non-performing or impaired. The non-accretable difference represents contractual principal and interest the Company does not expect
to collect.
The Company completed no acquisitions in 2011.
On March 29, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of three (3) Texas banking centers from U.S. Bank. In connection
with the acquisition, the Company assumed approximately $375.0 million in deposits. The Company paid a premium of $13.1 million
to assume the deposits of the three U.S. Bank branches.
In connection with the purchase, the Company recorded a premium of $13.3 million, of which $369 thousand was identified as
core deposit intangibles. The remaining $12.9 million of the premium was recorded as goodwill all of which is expected to be
deductible for tax purposes.
On April 30, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of nineteen (19) Texas banking centers from First Bank. In
connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed approximately $500.0 million in deposits. Four banking centers were
subsequently closed and consolidated with nearby Company banking centers. The Company paid a premium of $26.9 million to
assume the deposits of the nineteen First Bank branches.
In connection with the purchase, the Company recorded a premium of $36.4 million, of which $2.0 million was identified as
core deposit intangibles. The remaining $34.3 million of the premium was recorded as goodwill all of which is expected to be
deductible for tax purposes.

Management performs an evaluation annually, and more frequently if a triggering event occurs, of whether any impairment of
the goodwill and other intangibles has occurred. If any such impairment is determined, a write down is recorded. As of December 31,
2012, there was no impairment recorded on goodwill.
Core deposit intangibles (“CDI”) are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated lives, which the Company believes
is between 8 and 10 years. The estimated aggregate future amortization expense for CDI remaining as of December 31, 2012 is as

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when
economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating
the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available for sale
or held to maturity are evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320, “Investments—Debt and Equity Securities.”
86
In determining OTTI, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair
value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was
affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be
required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists
involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
When OTTI occurs, the amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings depends on whether an entity
intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less
any current-period credit loss.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not intend to sell any debt securities and management believes that the Company
more likely than not will not be required to sell any debt securities before their anticipated recovery, at which time the Company will
receive full value for the securities. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2012, management does not have the intent to sell any of its
securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of
cost. The unrealized losses are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying
securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if
market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit
quality. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2012, management believes any impairment in the Company’s securities is temporary and
no impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

The Company recorded no gain or loss on sale of securities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and recorded a loss
on sale of securities of $581 thousand for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. The Company sold two non-agency
collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO’s”) with a total book value of $3.2 million due to a downgrade of the CMO’s to less than
investment grade in the second quarter of 2011. At December 31, 2012, the Company had eight non-agency CMO’s with a remaining
book value of $2.5 million and a fair value of $2.5 million.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not own securities of any one issuer (other than the U.S. government and its
agencies) for which aggregate adjusted cost exceeded 10% of the consolidated shareholders’ equity at such respective dates.
Securities with an amortized cost of $4.13 billion and $2.48 billion and a fair value of $4.27 billion and $2.57 billion at
December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were pledged to collateralize public deposits and for other purposes required or permitted
by law.

Loan Origination/Risk Management. The Company has certain lending policies and procedures in place that are designed to
maximize loan income within an acceptable level of risk. Management reviews and approves these policies and procedures on a
regular basis. A reporting system supplements the review process by providing management with frequent reports related to loan
production, loan quality, concentrations of credit, loan delinquencies and non-performing and potential problem loans. Diversification
in the loan portfolio is a means of managing risk associated with fluctuations in economic conditions. All loans over $500 thousand
and below $2.5 million are evaluated and acted upon on a daily basis by two of the company-wide loan concurrence officers. All loans
above $2.5 million are evaluated and acted upon by an officers’ loan committee which meets weekly. In addition to the officers’ loan
committee evaluation, loans from $15.0 million to $25.0 million are evaluated and acted upon by the directors’ loan committee which
consists of three directors of the Bank and meets as necessary. Total loan relationships over $25.0 million are evaluated and acted
upon by the Bank’s board of directors either at a regularly scheduled monthly board meeting or by teleconference or written consent.
The Company maintains an independent loan review department that reviews and validates the credit risk program on a periodic
basis. Results of these reviews are presented to management. The loan review process complements and reinforces the risk
identification and assessment decisions made by lenders and credit personnel, as well as the Company’s policies and procedures.
(i) Commercial and Industrial Loans. In nearly all cases, the Company’s commercial loans are made in the Company’s market
areas and are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to service the debt from income. As a general practice, the Company
takes as collateral a lien on any available real estate, equipment or other assets owned by the borrower and obtains a personal guaranty
of the borrower or principal. Working capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas term loans are primarily
collateralized by long-term assets. In general, commercial loans involve more credit risk than residential mortgage loans and
commercial mortgage loans and, therefore, usually yield a higher return. The increased risk in commercial loans is due to the type of
collateral securing these loans. The increased risk also derives from the expectation that commercial loans generally will be serviced
principally from the operations of the business, and those operations may not be successful. Historical trends have shown these types
of loans to have higher delinquencies than mortgage loans. As a result of these additional complexities, variables and risks,
commercial loans require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans.
(ii) Commercial Real Estate. The Company makes commercial real estate loans collateralized by owner-occupied and non-
owner-occupied real estate to finance the purchase of real estate. The Company’s commercial real estate loans are collateralized by
first liens on real estate, typically have variable interest rates (or five year or less fixed rates) and amortize over a 15 to 20 year period.
Payments on loans secured by such properties are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties.
Accordingly, repayment of these loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy to a greater
extent than other types of loans. The Company seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including giving careful
consideration to the property’s operating history, future operating projections, current and projected occupancy, location and physical
condition in connection with underwriting these loans. The underwriting analysis also includes credit verification, analysis of global
cash flow, appraisals and a review of the financial condition of the borrower. At December 31, 2012, approximately 41.4% of the
90
outstanding principal balance of the Company’s commercial real estate loans were secured by owner-occupied properties. At
December 31, 2012, the Company had total commercial real estate loans totaling $2.54 billion which include the categories of
construction and land development loans, commercial real estate loans and multi-family residential loans.
(iii) 1-4 Family Residential Loans. The Company’s lending activities also includes the origination of 1-4 family residential
mortgage loans collateralized by owner-occupied residential properties located in the Company’s market areas. The Company offers a
variety of mortgage loan products which generally are amortized over five to 25 years. Loans collateralized by 1-4 family residential
real estate generally have been originated in amounts of no more than 89% of appraised value or have mortgage insurance. The
Company requires mortgage title insurance and hazard insurance. Other than with respect to mortgage banking activities acquired in
the ASB acquisition, the Company has elected to keep all 1-4 family residential loans for its own account rather than selling such
loans into the secondary market. By doing so, the Company is able to realize a higher yield on these loans; however, the Company
also incurs interest rate risk as well as the risks associated with nonpayments on such loans.
(iv) Construction and Land Development Loans. The Company makes loans to finance the construction of residential and, to a
lesser extent, nonresidential properties. Construction loans generally are collateralized by first liens on real estate and have floating
interest rates. The Company conducts periodic inspections, either directly or through an agent, prior to approval of periodic draws on
these loans. Underwriting guidelines similar to those described above are also used in the Company’s construction lending activities.
Construction loans involve additional risks attributable to the fact that loan funds are advanced upon the security of a project under
construction, and the project is of uncertain value prior to its completion. Because of uncertainties inherent in estimating construction
costs, the market value of the completed project and the effects of governmental regulation on real property, it can be difficult to
accurately evaluate the total funds required to complete a project and the related loan to value ratio. As a result of these uncertainties,
construction lending often involves the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the
ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower or guarantor to repay the loan. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a project
prior to completion, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to recover all of the unpaid portion of the loan. In addition,
the Company may be required to fund additional amounts to complete a project and may have to hold the property for an
indeterminate period of time. While the Company has underwriting procedures designed to identify what it believes to be acceptable
levels of risks in construction lending, no assurance can be given that these procedures will prevent losses from the risks described
above.
(v) Agriculture Loans. The Company provides agriculture loans for short-term crop production, including rice, cotton, milo and
corn, farm equipment financing and agriculture real estate financing. The Company evaluates agriculture borrowers primarily based
on their historical profitability, level of experience in their particular agriculture industry, overall financial capacity and the
availability of secondary collateral to withstand economic and natural variations common to the industry. Because agriculture loans
present a higher level of risk associated with events caused by nature, the Company routinely makes on-site visits and inspections in
order to identify and monitor such risks.
(vi) Consumer Loans. Consumer loans made by the Company include direct “A”-credit automobile loans, recreational vehicle
loans, boat loans, home improvement loans, home equity loans, personal loans (collateralized and uncollateralized) and deposit
account collateralized loans. The terms of these loans typically range from 12 to 120 months and vary based upon the nature of
collateral and size of loan. Generally, consumer loans entail greater risk than do real estate secured loans, particularly in the case of
consumer loans that are unsecured or collateralized by rapidly depreciating assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed
collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment for the outstanding loan balance. The
remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower beyond obtaining a deficiency
judgment. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more
likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and
state laws may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.
91
The contractual maturity ranges of the 1-4 family residential, home equity, commercial and industrial, commercial real estate,
construction and land development and agriculture portfolios and the amount of such loans with predetermined interest rates and
floating rates in each maturity range as of December 31, 2012 are summarized in the following table. Contractual maturities are based
on contractual amounts outstanding and do not include loan purchase discounts of $79.9 million or loans held for sale of $10.4 million

Concentrations of Credit. Most of the Company’s lending activity occurs within the state of Texas. The majority of the
Company’s loan portfolio consists of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011,
there were no concentrations of loans related to any single industry in excess of 10% of total loans.
Foreign Loans. The Company has U.S. dollar denominated loans and commitments to borrowers in Mexico. The outstanding
balance of these loans and the unfunded amounts available under these commitments was not significant at December 31, 2012 or
2011.
Related Party Loans. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, loans outstanding to directors, officers and their affiliates totaled $6.7
million and $9.8 million, respectively. All transactions entered into between the Company and such related parties are done in the
ordinary course of business, made on the same terms and conditions as similar transactions with unaffiliated persons.

Nonperforming Assets and Non-Accrual and Past Due Loans. The Company has several procedures in place to assist it in
maintaining the overall quality of its loan portfolio. The Company has established underwriting guidelines to be followed by its
officers and the Company also monitors its delinquency levels for any negative or adverse trends. There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company’s loan portfolio will not become subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to
general economic conditions.
92
The Company generally places a loan on nonaccrual status and ceases accruing interest when the payment of principal or
interest is delinquent for 90 days, or earlier in some cases, unless the loan is in the process of collection and the underlying collateral
fully supports the carrying value of the loan.
The Company requires appraisals on loans collateralized by real estate. With respect to potential problem loans, an evaluation of
the borrower’s overall financial condition is made to determine the need, if any, for possible writedowns or appropriate additions to
the allowance for credit losses.

The Company’s conservative lending approach has resulted in sound asset quality. The Company had $13.0 million in
nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012 compared with $12.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $15.8 million at December 31,
2010. The nonperforming assets at December 31, 2012 consisted of 116 separate credits or ORE properties.
If interest on nonaccrual loans had been accrued under the original loan terms, approximately $270 thousand, $253 thousand,
and $701 thousand would have been recorded as income for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Impaired Loans. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled
principal and interest payments. Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of a similar nature and on an individual
loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a specific valuation allowance is allocated, if necessary, so that the loan is reported
net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is
expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectibility of the
principal amount is reasonably assured, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are
charged off when deemed uncollectible.
94
Year-end impaired loans are set forth in the following tables. No interest income was recognized on impaired loans subsequent
to their classification as impaired.

Credit Quality Indicators. As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio and
methodology for calculating the allowance for credit losses, management assigns and tracks loan grades to be used as credit quality
indicators. The following is a general description of the loan grades used:
Grade 1—Credits in this category are of the highest standards of credit quality with virtually no risk of loss. These borrowers
would represent top rated companies and individuals with unquestionable financial standing with excellent global cash flow coverage,
net worth, liquidity and collateral coverage and/or secured by deposit accounts.
Grade 2—Credits in this category are not immune from risk but are well protected by the collateral and paying capacity of the
borrower. These loans may exhibit a minor unfavorable credit factor, but the overall credit is sufficiently strong to minimize the
possibility of loss.
Grade 3—Credits in this category constitute an undue and unwarranted credit risk, however the factors do not rise to a level of
substandard. These credits have potential weaknesses and/or declining trends that, if not corrected, could expose the Bank to risk at a
future date. These loans are monitored on the Bank’s internally-generated watch list and evaluated on a quarterly basis.
Grade 4—Credits in this category are considered “substandard” but “non-impaired” loans in accordance with regulatory
guidelines. Loans in this category have well-defined weakness that, if not corrected, could make default of principal and interest
possible. Loans in this category are still accruing interest and may be dependent upon secondary sources of repayment and/or
collateral liquidation.
Grade 5—Credits in this category are deemed “substandard” and “impaired” pursuant to regulatory guidelines. As such, the
Bank has determined that it is probable that less than 100% of the contractual principal and interest will be collected. These loans are
individually evaluated for a specific reserve valuation and will typically have the accrual of interest stopped.
Grade 6—Credits in this category include “doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidance. Such loans are no longer
accruing interest and factors indicated a loss is imminent. These loans are also deemed “impaired.” While a specific reserve may be in
place while the loan and collateral is being evaluated these loans are typically charged down to an amount the Bank estimates is
collectible.
Grade 7—Credits in this category are deemed a “loss” in accordance with regulatory guidelines and have been charged off or
charged down. The Bank may continue collection efforts and may have partial recovery in the future.
The following table presents risk grades and classified loans by class of loan at December 31, 2012. Classified loans include
loans in risk grades 5, 6 and 7.

Allowance for Possible Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of a
provision for credit losses. Management has established an allowance for credit losses which it believes is adequate for estimated
losses in the Company’s loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is affected by the following: (i) charge-offs of
loans that occur when loans are deemed uncollectible and decrease the allowance, (ii) recoveries on loans previously charged off that
increase the allowance and (iii) provisions for credit losses charged to earnings that increase the allowance. Based on an evaluation of
the loan portfolio and consideration of the factors listed below, management presents a quarterly review of the allowance for credit
losses to the Bank’s Board of Directors, indicating any change in the allowance since the last review and any recommendations as to
adjustments in the allowance.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses consists of two components: a specific valuation allowance based on probable losses
on specifically identified loans and a general valuation allowance based on historical loan loss experience, general economic
conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company.
In setting the specific valuation allowance, the Company follows a loan review program to evaluate the credit risk in the loan
portfolio. Through this loan review process, the Company maintains an internal list of impaired loans which, along with the
delinquency list of loans, helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance for
credit losses. All loans that have been identified as impaired are reviewed on a quarterly basis in order to determine whether a specific
reserve is required. For each impaired loan, the Company allocates a specific loan loss reserve primarily based on the value of the
collateral securing the impaired loan in accordance with ASC Topic 310. The specific reserves are determined on an individual loan
basis. Loans for which specific reserves are provided are excluded from the general valuation allowance described below.
In determining the amount of the general valuation allowance, management considers factors such as historical loan loss
experience, industry diversification of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio, concentration risk of specific loan types, the volume,
growth and composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay
and the value of collateral, the evaluation of the Company’s loan portfolio through its internal loan review process, general economic
conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company and other relevant factors in accordance with
ASC Topic 450. Based on a review of these factors for each loan type, the Company applies an estimated percentage to the
outstanding balance of each loan type, excluding any loan that has a specific reserve allocated to it. The Company uses this
information to establish the amount of the general valuation allowance.
In connection with its review of the loan portfolio, the Company considers risk elements attributable to particular loan types or
categories in assessing the quality of individual loans. Some of the risk elements include:

Troubled Debt Restructurings. The restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is
experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or
below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize
potential losses. Effective July 1, 2011, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310)—A
Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” As such, the Company reassessed all loan
modifications occurring since January 1, 2011 for identification as troubled debt restructurings. The following table presents
information regarding the recorded balance at December 31, 2012 and 2011 of loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring during
the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

As of December 31, 2012, there have been no defaults on any loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the
preceding twelve months. Default is determined at 90 or more days past due. The modifications primarily related to extending the
amortization periods of the loans, which includes loans modified during bankruptcy. The Company did not grant principal reductions
on any restructured loan. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company added $1.1 million in new troubled debt restructurings
all of which were still outstanding on December 31, 2012. The remaining restructured loans are performing and accruing loans. These
modifications did not have a material impact on the Company’s determination of the allowance for credit losses.
7. FAIR VALUE
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value
disclosures. Fair values represent the estimated price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability,
otherwise known as an “exit price.” Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from
time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis such as certain loans including
100
loans held-for-sale, goodwill and other intangible assets and other real estate owned. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments
typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write downs of individual assets.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company groups financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in
which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
•
•
•
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities) or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the
assets or liabilities.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing
models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of
fair values requires significant management judgment or estimation.
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an
orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset
or liability. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the
income approach and/or the cost approach. Such valuation techniques are consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques include
the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The fair value disclosures below represent the Company’s estimates based on relevant market information and information
about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current
economic conditions, risk characteristics of the various instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and
involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in the above
methodologies and assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair
value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of
impairment). These instruments include other real estate owned, repossessed assets, held to maturity debt securities, loans held-for-
sale, and impaired loans. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had additions to other real estate owned of $12.0
101
million, of which $3.9 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had
additions to impaired loans of $11.5 million, of which $5.1 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The remaining
financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis that were recorded in 2012 and remained outstanding at
December 31, 2012, were not significant. During the reported periods, all fair value measurements for assets remeasured at fair value
on a non-recurring basis utilized Level 2 inputs.

Entities may choose to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value at specified election dates. The fair value
measurement option (i) may be applied instrument by instrument, with certain exceptions, (ii) is generally irrevocable and (iii) is
applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value
measurement option has been elected must be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. During the reported periods, the
Company had no financial instruments measured at fair value under the fair value measurement option.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of the dates indicated.
Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have
102
not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair
value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities, and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value:
Cash and due from banks—For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The
Company classifies the estimated fair value of these instruments as Level 1.
Federal funds sold—For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The
Company classifies the estimated fair value of these instruments as Level 1.
Securities — Fair value measurements based upon quoted prices are considered Level 1 inputs. Level 1 securities consist of
U.S. Treasury securities and certain equity securities which are included in the available for sale portfolio. For all other available for
sale and held to maturity securities, if quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using Level 2 inputs. For these
securities, the Company generally obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements
consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels,
trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other
things. The Company reviews the prices supplied by the independent pricing service, as well as their underlying pricing
methodologies, for reasonableness.
Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.
Loans held for investment — The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. As such, valuation
techniques discussed herein for loans are primarily for estimating fair value disclosures. However, from time to time, the Company
records nonrecurring fair value adjustments to impaired loans to reflect (1) partial write downs that are based on the observable market
price or current appraised value of the collateral, or (2) the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. Where appraisals are not
available, estimated cash flows are discounted using a rate commensurate with the credit risk associated with those cash flows.
Assumptions regarding credit risk, cash flows and discount rates are judgmentally determined using available market information and
specific borrower information.
The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant
change in credit risk. The fair value of fixed-rate loans and variable-rate loans which reprice on an infrequent basis is estimated by
discounting future cash flows using the current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of
similar credit quality. An overall valuation adjustment is made for specific credit risks as well as general portfolio credit risk. The
Company classifies the estimated fair value of loans held for investment as Level 3.
Loans held for sale— Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. Fair value for consumer
mortgages held for sale is based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices. As such, the Company classifies
loans subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 1.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas Stock— The fair value of FHLB stock is estimated to be equal to its carrying amount as
reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, given it is not a publicly traded equity security, it has an adjustable
dividend rate, and all transactions in the stock are executed at the stated par value. FHLB stock is considered a Level 1 fair value.
Other real estate owned— Other real estate owned is primarily foreclosed properties securing residential loans and commercial
real estate. Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value less estimated costs to sell upon transfer of the loans to other real estate owned.
Subsequently, these assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Other real estate carried
at fair value based on an observable market price or a current appraised value is classified by the Company as Level 2. When
management determines that the fair value of other real estate requires additional adjustments, either as a result of a non-current
appraisal or when there is no observable market price, the Company classifies the other real estate as Level 3.
Deposits—The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on
demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities. Deposits fair value measurements utilize Level 2 inputs.
Junior subordinated debentures—The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures was calculated using the quoted market
prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar
subordinated debentures. Junior subordinated debentures fair value measurements utilize Level 2 inputs.
Other borrowings—Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to
estimate the fair value of other borrowings using a discounted cash flows methodology and are measured utilizing Level 2 inputs.
103
Securities sold under repurchase agreements—The fair value of securities sold under repurchase agreements is the amount
payable on demand at the reporting date and are measured utilizing Level 2 inputs.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments—The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is
estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement
and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. The Company has reviewed the unfunded portion of commitments to extend
credit as well as standby and other letters of credit, and has determined that the fair value of such financial instruments is not material.
The Company classifies the estimated fair value of credit-related financial instruments as Level 3.

allows the Company to borrow on a collateralized basis. FHLB advances are considered short-term, overnight borrowings and used to
manage liquidity as needed. Additionally, the Company utilizes long-term FHLB notes. Maturing advances are replaced by drawing
on available cash, making additional borrowings or through increased customer deposits. At December 31, 2012, the Company had
total funds of $3.71 billion available under this agreement of which a total amount of $256.8 million was outstanding at December 31,
2012. Short-term overnight FHLB advances of $245.0 million were outstanding at December 31, 2012, at a weighted average rate of
rate of 0.17%. Long-term notes payable were $11.8 million at December 31, 2012, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.22%.
The maturity dates on the FHLB notes payable range from the years 2013 to 2028 and have interest rates ranging from 4.08% to
6.10%.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements— At December 31, 2012, the Company had $454.5 million in securities sold
under repurchase agreements compared with $54.9 million at December 31, 2011 with average rates paid of 0.27% and 0.54% for
years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Repurchase agreements with banking customers are generally settled on the
following business day. Approximately, $23.5 million of repurchase agreements outstanding at December 31, 2012, have maturity
dates ranging from one to sixteen months. All securities sold under agreements to repurchase are collateralized by certain pledged
securities.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities,
projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable
income and estimates of future taxable income over the periods for which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes
it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2012.
106
Net operating loss carryforwards expire on various dates beginning in 2025 through 2030.
Benefits from tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the tax position
will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. A
tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than
fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold are recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously
recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are derecognized in the first subsequent
financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. The Company had no tax positions at December 31, 2012 or
December 31, 2011 that did not meet the more-likely-than not recognition threshold. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on the
accounting for and disclosure of unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties. The Company’s policy for recording interest and
penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. Penalties are recorded in other (gains)
losses and interest paid or received is recorded in interest expense or interest income, respectively, in the consolidated statement of
income. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company has not accrued any interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in Texas as “major” tax
jurisdictions, as defined. The only periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal return are the 2009 through 2011 tax
years.
12. STOCK INCENTIVE PROGRAMS
At December 31, 2012, the Company had four stock-based employee compensation plans and one stock option plan assumed in
connection with acquisitions under which no additional options will be granted. Two of the four plans adopted by the Company have
expired and therefore no additional awards may be issued under those plans. The Company accounts for stock-based employee
compensation plans using the fair value-based method of accounting. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of
$3.6 million, $3.6 million and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There was
approximately $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $964 thousand of income tax benefit recorded for the stock-based compensation expense
for the same periods, respectively.
During 1995, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock option plan (the “1995 Plan”) for executive officers and key
associates to purchase common stock of Bancshares. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options
granted under the 1995 Plan was 680,000 (after two-for-one and four-for-one stock splits) and a total of 675,000 options were granted
under the 1995 Plan. Options to purchase a total of 3,750 shares of common stock of Bancshares granted under the 1995 Plan were
outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2012. The 1995 Plan has expired and therefore no additional options may be issued from
the 1995 Plan.
During 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders approved the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 1998 Stock
Incentive Plan (the “1998 Plan”) which authorized the issuance of up to 920,000 (after two-for-one stock split) shares of the common
stock of Bancshares under both non-qualified and incentive stock options to employees and non-qualified stock options to directors
who are not employees. The 1998 Plan also provided for the granting of restricted stock awards, stock appreciation rights, phantom
stock awards and performance awards on substantially similar terms. A total of 819,500 options were granted under the 1998 Plan.
Options to purchase a total of 223,030 shares of common stock of Bancshares granted under the 1998 Plan were outstanding and
exercisable at December 31, 2012. The 1998 Plan has expired and therefore no additional options may be issued from the 1998 Plan.
In December 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors established the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
(the “2004 Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on February 23, 2005. The 2004 Plan authorizes the issuance
of up to 1,250,000 shares of common stock upon the exercise of options granted under the 2004 Plan or upon the grant or exercise, as
the case may be, of other awards granted under the 2004 Plan. The 2004 Plan provides for the granting of incentive and nonqualified
stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to directors who are not employees. The 2004 Plan also provides for the
granting of shares of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards and performance awards on substantially
similar terms. A total of 191,625 options and 564,579 shares of restricted stock have been granted under the 2004 Plan as of
December 31, 2012. Options to purchase a total of 152,875 shares of common stock of Bancshares granted under the 2004 Plan were
outstanding at December 31, 2012, of which 92,125 were exercisable. Remaining shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan
totaled 493,796 at December 31, 2012.
On April 1, 2006, the Company acquired SNB Bancshares, Inc. The options to purchase shares of SNB Bancshares, Inc.
common stock outstanding at the effective time of the transaction were converted into options to purchase a total of 467,578 shares of
Bancshares common stock at exercise prices ranging from $8.15 to $17.63 per share. The converted options are governed by the
original plan under which they were issued. Options to purchase a total of 6,950 shares of common stock of Bancshares granted under
the 2004 Plan were outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2012.
107
On February 22, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan
(the “2012 Plan”), subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s shareholders approved the 2012 Plan at the
annual meeting of shareholders on April 17, 2012. The 2012 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,250,000 shares of common stock
upon the exercise of options granted under the 2012 Plan or pursuant to the grant or exercise, as the case may be, of other awards
granted under the 2012 Plan, including restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock awards and performance awards. As
of December 31, 2012, no options or other awards have been granted under the 2012 Plan.
Stock options are issued at the current market price on the date of the grant, subject to a pre-determined vesting period with a
contractual term of 10 years. Options assumed in connection with acquisitions have contractual terms as established in the original
option grant agreements entered into prior to acquisition. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-scholes pricing model utilizes certain assumptions including expected life of the
option, risk free interest rate, volatility and dividend yield. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized ratably over the requisite
service period for all awards. There were no options issued for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various transactions, which, in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States, are not included in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company enters into these
transactions to meet the financing needs of its customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company’s commitments associated with outstanding standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit expiring

Standby Letters of Credit. Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the
performance of a customer to a third party. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement
with the third party, the Company would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the
Company could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment is funded, the
Company would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. The Company’s policies generally require that standby letter of credit
arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those contained in loan agreements.
Commitments to Extend Credit. The Company enters into contractual commitments to extend credit, normally with fixed
expiration dates or termination clauses, at specified rates and for specific purposes. Substantially all of the Company’s commitments
to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. The Company
minimizes its exposure to loss under these commitments by subjecting them to credit approval and monitoring procedures.
Management assesses the credit risk associated with certain commitments to extend credit in determining the level of the allowance
111
for credit losses. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment
amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash funding requirements. At December 31, 2012, $130.9 million of
commitments to extend credit have fixed rates ranging from 1.1% to 18.0%.
The Company evaluates customer creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered
necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

It is expected that in the normal course of business, expiring leases will be renewed or replaced by leases on other property or
equipment.
Rent expense under all noncancelable operating lease obligations aggregated approximately $5.4 million for the year ended
December 31, 2012, $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and $5.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Litigation—The Company has been named as a defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In
the opinion of management, after reviewing such claims with outside counsel, resolution of such matters will not have a materially
adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.
16. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.
Any institution that fails to meet its minimum capital requirements is subject to actions by regulators that could have a direct material
effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines based on the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet
items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and the Bank’s
classification under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about the components, risk weightings and other factors.
To meet the capital adequacy requirements, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios as
defined in the regulations. As of December 31, 2012, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they
were subject.
As of December 31, 2012, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as “well capitalized” under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-
based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There have been no conditions or events since that
notification which management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

(1) The 3-month LIBOR in effect as of December 31, 2012 was 0.306%.
(2) All debentures are callable five years from issuance date.
Each of the trusts is a capital or statutory business trust organized for the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and investing
the proceeds in the Company’s junior subordinated debentures. The preferred trust securities of each trust represent preferred
beneficial interests in the assets of the respective trusts and are subject to mandatory redemption upon payment of the junior
subordinated debentures held by the trust. The common securities of each trust are wholly owned by the Company. Each trust’s ability
to pay amounts due on the trust preferred securities is solely dependent upon the Company making payment on the related junior
subordinated debentures. The debentures, which are the only assets of each trust, are subordinate and junior in right of payment to all
of the Company’s present and future senior indebtedness. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed each trust’s
obligations under the trust securities issued by such trust to the extent not paid or made by each trust, provided such trust has funds
available for such obligations.
Under the provisions of each issue of the debentures, the Company has the right to defer payment of interest on the debentures
at any time, or from time to time, for periods not exceeding five years. If interest payments on either issue of the debentures are
deferred, the distributions on the applicable trust preferred securities and common securities will also be deferred.

19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND RECENT ACQUISITIONS
Pending Acquisition of Coppermark Bancshares Inc. - On December 10, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire Coppermark Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coppermark Bank (“Coppermark”) headquartered in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Coppermark operates nine (9) full-service banking offices: six (6) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and
surrounding areas and three (3) in the Dallas, Texas area. As of December 31, 2012, Coppermark reported, on a consolidated basis,
total assets of $1.3 billion, total loans of $853.4 million and total deposits of $1.2 billion.
Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company will issue approximately 3,258,845 shares of the Company’s
common stock plus $60.0 million in cash for all outstanding shares of Coppermark Bancshares capital stock, subject to certain
conditions and potential adjustments. Pending the satisfaction of closing conditions, the closing is expected to occur in early 2013.
118
Acquisition of East Texas Financial Services, Inc.- On January 1, 2013, the Company completed the previously announced
acquisition of East Texas Financial Services, Inc. (OTC BB: FFBT) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First Federal Bank Texas
(“Firstbank”). Firstbank operated four (4) banking offices in the Tyler MSA, including three locations in Tyler, Texas and one location
in Gilmer, Texas. As of December 31, 2012, East Texas Financial Services reported, on a consolidated basis, total assets of $165.0
million, total loans of $129.3 million and total deposits of $112.3 million.
Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, the Company issued 530,940 shares of the Company’s common stock for all
outstanding shares of East Texas Financial Services capital stock, resulting in an acquisition date fair value of $22.3 million based on
the Company’s closing stock price of $42.00. On the date of close, the Company recognized preliminary goodwill of $5.5 million
which is calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and liabilities assumed compared to the fair value of the assets
acquired. The Company is currently in the process of obtaining fair values for certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities and
therefore the estimates are preliminary.
