NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared for Park National Corporation (sometimes also referred to as the “Registrant”) and its subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Park", the "Corporation" or the "Company" and similar terms mean Park National Corporation and its subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. The results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed balance sheets, condensed statements of income, condensed statements of comprehensive income, condensed statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Park for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 from Park’s 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders (“2012 Annual Report”).

Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2012 Annual Report. For interim reporting purposes, Park follows the same basic accounting policies, as updated by the information contained in this report, and considers each interim period an integral part of an annual period. Management has evaluated events occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date, determining no events required additional disclosure in these consolidated condensed financial statements.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements:

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

No. 2013-02 Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income: In February 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). The ASU requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. The new guidance is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of the new guidance on January 1, 2013 impacted the other comprehensive income (loss) disclosures in Note 17.

Table of Contents

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

Note 3 – Sale of Vision Bank Business

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

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



(in thousands)
Premium paid	$	27,913
One-time gains	298
Loss on sale of fixed assets	(2,434		)
Employment and severance agreements	(1,610		)
Other one-time charges, including estimates	(2,000		)
Pre-tax gain	$	22,167

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

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

Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $78.5 million and $96.9 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment with no related allowance recorded and $4.8 million and $8.2 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment that also had a specific reserve allocated.

The allowance for loan losses included specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated for impairment at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $9.3 million and $8.3 million, respectively. These loans with specific reserves had a recorded investment of $18.0 million and $28.8 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Interest income on loans individually evaluated for impairment is recognized on a cash basis.

Credit Quality Indicators

Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. Past due information as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is included in the tables above. The past due information is the primary credit quality indicator within the following classes of loans: (1) mortgage loans and installment loans in the construction real estate segment; (2) mortgage loans, HELOC and installment loans in the residential real estate segment; and (3) consumer loans. The primary credit indicator for commercial loans is based on an internal grading system that grades all commercial loans from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the respective loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 4.5 (pass-rated) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as special mention have potential weaknesses that require management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, are considered to represent higher credit risk and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the value of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that Park will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonaccrual and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are included within the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management determines the borrower's ability to perform in accordance with the contractual loan agreement is in doubt. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged off.

The tables below present the recorded investment by loan grade at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 for all commercial loans:

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)

Management classifies loans as TDRs when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and Park has granted a concession to the borrower as part of a modification or in the loan renewal process. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of the borrower's debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Company’s internal underwriting policy. Management’s policy is to modify loans by extending the term or by granting a temporary or permanent contractual interest rate below the market rate, not by forgiving debt. Certain loans which were modified during the period ended September 30, 2013 did not meet the definition of a TDR as the modification was a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant. Management considers a forbearance period of up to three months or a delay in payment of up to 30 days to be insignificant. TDRs may be classified as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.

Management reviews renewals/modifications of loans previously identified as TDRs to consider if it is appropriate to remove the TDR classification. If the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty and the renewal/modification does not contain a concessionary interest rate or other concessionary terms, management considers the potential removal of the TDR classification. If deemed appropriate, the TDR classification is removed as the borrower has complied with the terms of the loan at the date of the renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower would continue to comply with the terms of the loan subsequent to the date of the renewal/modification. The majority of these TDRs were originally considered restructurings in a prior year as a result of a modification with an interest rate that was not commensurate with the risk of the underlying loan. During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, Park removed the TDR classification on $728,000 and $3.6 million, respectively, of loans that met the requirements discussed above.

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $78.5 million and $84.7 million, respectively, of TDRs included in nonaccrual loan totals. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $57.2 million and $52.6 million of these nonaccrual TDRs were performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were $24.5 million and $29.9 million, respectively, of TDRs included in accruing loan totals. Management will continue to review the restructured loans and may determine it appropriate to move certain of the loans back to accrual status in the future. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Park had commitments to lend $6.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers whose outstanding loan terms had been modified in a TDR.

The specific reserve related to TDRs at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $7.7 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Modifications made in 2012 and 2013 were largely the result of renewals, extending the maturity date of the loan, at terms consistent with the original note. These modifications were deemed to be TDRs primarily due to Park’s conclusion that the borrower would likely not have qualified for similar terms through another lender. Many of the modifications deemed to be TDRs were previously identified as impaired loans, and thus were also previously evaluated for impairment under ASC 310. Additional specific reserves of $474,000 and $745,000 were recorded during the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2013, respectively, as a result of TDRs identified in the 2013 year. Additional specific reserves of $167,000 and

$1.2 million were recorded during the three-month and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2012, respectively, as a result of TDRs identified in the 2012 year.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. Modified substandard commercial loans which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment as of September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 of $541,000 and $2.1 million, respectively. The modification of these loans: (1) involved a modification of the terms of a loan to a borrower who was not experiencing financial difficulties, (2) resulted in a delay in a payment that was considered to be insignificant, or (3) resulted in Park obtaining additional collateral or guarantees that improved the likelihood of the ultimate collection of the loan such that the modification was deemed to be at market terms. Modified consumer loans which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment as of September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 of $19.6 million and $20.5 million, respectively. Many of these loans were to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties but who were looking to reduce their cost of funds.

The following tables detail the number of contracts modified as TDRs during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, as well as the recorded investment of these contracts at September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012. The recorded investment pre- and post-modification is generally the same due to the fact that Park does not typically provide for forgiveness of principal.

Note 6 – Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is that amount management believes is adequate to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio based on management’s evaluation of various factors including overall growth in the loan portfolio, an analysis of individual loans, prior and current loss experience, and current economic conditions. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors as discussed within Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2012 Annual Report.

Management extended the historical loss calculation period from 48 months to 54 months during the third quarter of 2013, incorporating net charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves through June 30, 2013. This update was completed mid-year due to the significant decline in net charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves that have been experienced beginning in the first quarter of 2012 through June 30, 2013. As part of this mid-year historical loss update, management determined that it was appropriate to more heavily weight those years with higher losses in the historical loss calculation. Given the continued uncertainty in the current economic environment, management did not feel that it was appropriate to continue to apply equal percentages to each of the years in the historical loss calculation. Specifically, rather than applying equal percentages to each year in the historical loss calculation, management applied more weight to the 2009-2011 periods compared to the 2012 and 2013 periods. The impact of the change resulted in general reserves as a percentage of performing loans of 1.09% at September 30, 2013, which was consistent with the 1.09% at June 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all performing loans at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as well as nonperforming loans internally classified as consumer loans. Nonperforming consumer loans are not typically individually evaluated for impairment, but receive a portion of the statistical allocation of the allowance for loan losses. Loans individually evaluated for impairment include all impaired loans internally classified as commercial loans at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which are evaluated for impairment in accordance with U.S. GAAP (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2012 Annual Report).

The composition of the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

(1) Net income available to common shareholders is net income less preferred share dividends and accretion. The only period impacted by preferred share dividends and accretion in the table above is the nine months ended September 30, 2012

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2012, options to purchase 65,175 common shares were outstanding under Park’s 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan. All options had expired as of September 30, 2013. There were no common shares subject to outstanding warrants at September 30, 2012 related to Park’s participation in the U.S. Treasury Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”). Park repurchased the CPP warrant on May 2, 2012.

Options to purchase a weighted average of 68,628 common shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, because the exercise price exceeded the market value of the underlying common shares such that their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares issued under the CPP was included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as the dilutive effect of this warrant was 3,284 common shares for this period. The exercise price of the CPP warrant to purchase 227,376 common shares was $65.97.

There were no options or warrants outstanding to include in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The operating results of the Parent Company in the “All Other” column are used to reconcile the segment totals to the consolidated condensed statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The reconciling amounts for consolidated total assets for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the elimination of intersegment borrowings and the assets of the Parent Company which were not eliminated.

Note 9 – Mortgage Loans Held For Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at their fair value. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, Park had approximately $6.6 million and $25.7 million in mortgage loans held for sale. These amounts are included in loans on the consolidated condensed balance sheets and in the residential real estate loan classes in Notes 5 and 6. The contractual balance was $6.5 million and $25.2 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The gain expected upon sale was $114,000 and $568,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. None of these loans were 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual status as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012.

Note 10 – Investment Securities

The amortized cost and fair values of investment securities are shown in the following table. Management performs a quarterly evaluation of investment securities for any other-than-temporary impairment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, Park recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $17,000, related to an equity investment in a financial institution. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, there were no investment securities deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Park recognized an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $54,000, related to an equity investment in a financial institution.

Management does not believe any of the unrealized losses at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012 represented other-than-temporary impairment. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized within net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

Park’s U.S. Government sponsored entities' asset-backed securities consist primarily of 15-year residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations.

The $605.7 million of Park’s securities shown at fair value in the above table as U.S. Treasury and sponsored entities' obligations are callable notes. These callable securities have final maturities of 2 to 14 years. Of the $605.7 million reported at September 30, 2013, $25.1 million were expected to be called and are shown in the table at their expected call date.

There were no sales of investment securities during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

Note 11 – Other Investment Securities

Other investment securities consist of stock investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank. These restricted stock investments are carried at their redemption value.

Note 12 – Pension Plan

Park has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan provides benefits based on an employee’s years of service and compensation.

Park’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes using a different actuarial cost method and different assumptions from those used for financial reporting purposes. Pension plan contributions were $12.6 million and $15.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As a result of the February 16, 2012 acquisition of certain Vision assets and liabilities by Centennial Bank, during the first quarter of 2012, it was necessary to re-measure pension plan assets and liabilities resulting in a reduction to the unrecognized net loss account within Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss), of $412,000 (net of tax of $222,000).

Note 13 – Derivative Instruments

FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. As required by U.S. GAAP, the Company records all derivatives on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.

For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings, with any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative recognized directly in earnings. The Company assesses the effectiveness of each hedging relationship by comparing the changes in cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the changes in cash flows of the designated hedged item or transaction.

As of September 30, 2013, no derivatives were designated as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

As of September 30, 2013, Park had mortgage loan interest rate lock commitments outstanding of approximately $7.5 million. Park has specific contracts to sell each of these loans to a third-party investor. These loan commitments represent derivative instruments, which are required to be carried at fair value. The derivative instruments used are not designated as hedges under U.S. GAAP. At September 30, 2013, the fair value of the derivative instruments was approximately $106,000. The fair value of the derivative instruments is included within loans held for sale and the corresponding income is included within non-yield loan fee income. Gains and losses resulting from expected sales of mortgage loans are recognized when the respective loan contract is entered into between the borrower, Park, and the third-party investor. The fair value of Park’s mortgage interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) is based on current secondary market pricing.

In connection with the sale of Park’s Class B Visa shares during 2009, Park entered into a swap agreement with the purchaser of the shares. The swap agreement adjusts for dilution in the conversion ratio of Class B Visa shares resulting from certain Visa litigation. At September 30, 2013, the fair value of the swap liability of $135,000 was an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses and consideration of the Visa settlement agreement announced on July 13, 2012 to resolve the Federal Multi-District Interchange Litigation.

Note 14 – Loan Servicing

Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1.34 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $1.31 billion at December 31, 2012 and $1.30 billion at September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2013, $11.5 million of the sold mortgage loans were sold with recourse compared to $19.1 million at September 30, 2012. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold with recourse. At September 30, 2013, management had established a $670,000 reserve to account for future loan repurchases.

When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value. Park selected the “amortization method” as permissible within U.S. GAAP, whereby the servicing rights capitalized are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated future servicing income of the underlying loan. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) is assessed for impairment with a comparison to fair value. MSRs are carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value.

Activity for MSRs and the related valuation allowance follows:

End of period	$	1,071		$	1,611		$	1,071		$	1,611

Servicing fees included in other service income were $0.9 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 15 – Fair Value

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that Park uses to measure fair value are as follows:


•	Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that Park has the ability to access as of the measurement date.


•	Level 2: Level 1 inputs for assets or liabilities that are not actively traded. Also consists of an observable market price for a similar asset or liability. This includes the use of “matrix pricing” to value debt securities absent the exclusive use of quoted prices.


•	Level 3: Consists of unobservable inputs that are used to measure fair value when observable market inputs are not available. This could include the use of internally developed models, financial forecasting and similar inputs.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants at the balance sheet date. When possible, the Company looks to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, the Company looks to observable market data for similar assets and liabilities. However, certain assets and liabilities are not traded in observable markets and Park must use other valuation methods to develop a fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is typically based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is estimated through third-party appraisals or internal estimates of collateral values in accordance with Park's valuation requirements per its commercial and real estate loan policies.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2013 or 2012. Management’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there are more or fewer unobservable inputs as of the end of the reporting period.

Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining fair value of the financial assets and liabilities discussed above:

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

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

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

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

The table below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 inputs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, for financial instruments measured on a recurring basis and classified as Level 3:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

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

•

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

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

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

Impaired loans had a book value of $118.2 million at September 30, 2013, after partial charge-offs of $83.3 million. Additionally, these impaired loans had a specific valuation allowance of $9.3 million. Of the $118.2 million impaired loan portfolio at September 30, 2013, loans with a book value of $46.0 million were carried at their fair value of $38.5 million, as a result of charge-offs of $68.6 million and a specific valuation allowance of $7.5 million. An additional specific valuation allowance of $1.8 million at September 30, 2013 is related to loans which are not collateral dependent and are thus not included in the fair value table above. The remaining $72.2 million of impaired loans were carried at cost, as the fair value of the underlying collateral or present value of expected future cash flows on each of these loans exceeded the book value for each individual credit. At December 31, 2012, impaired loans had a book value of $137.2 million, after partial charge-offs of $105.1 million. Additionally, these impaired loans had a specific valuation allowance of $8.3 million. Of the $137.2 million impaired loan portfolio at December 31, 2012, loans with a book value of $59.0 million were carried at their fair value of $53.9 million as a result of partial charge-offs of $91.6 million and a specific valuation allowance for those loans carried at fair value of $5.1 million. An additional specific valuation allowance of $3.2 million at December 31, 2012 related to loans which are not collateral dependent and are thus not included in the fair value table above. The remaining $78.2 million of impaired loans at December 31, 2012 were carried at cost. The financial impact of credit adjustments related to impaired loans carried at fair value during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $6.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The financial impact of credit adjustments related to impaired loans carried at fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $8.1 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

MSRs, which are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, were recorded at $9.1 million at September 30, 2013. Of the $9.1 million MSR carrying balance at September 30, 2013, $2.4 million was recorded at fair value and included a valuation allowance of $1.1 million. The remaining $6.7 million was recorded at cost, as the fair value exceeded cost at September 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012, MSRs were recorded at $7.8 million, including a valuation allowance of $2.3 million. Income/(Expense) related to MSRs carried at fair value during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.0 million and $(544,000), respectively. Income/(Expense) related to MSRs carried at fair value during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $1.3 million and $(590,000), respectively.

Total OREO held by Park at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $35.4 million and $35.7 million, respectively. Approximately 55% of OREO held by Park at September 30, 2013 and at December 31, 2012 was carried at fair value due to devaluations taken subsequent to the initial OREO measurement. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of OREO, less estimated selling costs, amounted to $19.5 million and $19.9 million, respectively. The financial impact of OREO fair value adjustments was $2.0 million and $0.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was $2.2 million and $4.4 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated condensed balance sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate those assets’ fair values.

Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one-to-four family residential) are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Table of Contents

Off-balance sheet instruments: Fair values for the Corporation’s loan commitments and standby letters of credit are based on the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The carrying amount and fair value are not material.

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

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

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

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

The fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was as follows:

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking statements that are provided to assist in the understanding of anticipated future financial performance. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially include, without limitation: Park's ability to execute its business plan successfully and within the expected timeframe; general economic and financial market conditions, and the uneven spread of positive impacts of the recovery on the economy, specifically in the real estate markets and the credit markets, either nationally or in the states in which Park and its subsidiaries do business, may be worse or slower than expected which could adversely impact the demand for loan, deposit and other financial services as well as loan delinquencies and defaults; changes in interest rates and prices may adversely impact the value of securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the interest rate sensitivity of our consolidated balance sheet; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; changes in unemployment; asset/liability repricing risks and liquidity risks; our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes to regulations governing bank capital and liquidity standards as well as by changes in our assets and liabilities; competitive factors among financial services organizations could increase significantly, including product and pricing pressures and our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified bank professionals; the nature, timing and effect of changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the respective businesses of Park and its subsidiaries, including changes in laws and regulations concerning taxes, accounting, banking, securities and other aspects of the financial services industry, specifically the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), as well as future regulations which will be adopted by the relevant regulatory agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, to implement the Dodd-Frank Act's provisions, the Budget Control Act of 2011 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory agencies, and the accuracy of our assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements; the effect of fiscal and governmental policies of the United States federal government; the adequacy of our risk management program; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors and other service providers, including as a result of cyber attacks; demand for loans in the respective market areas served by Park and its subsidiaries; the outcome of future negotiations surrounding the United States debt and budget, which may be adverse due to its impact on tax increases, governmental spending and consumer confidence and spending; and other risk factors relating to the banking industry as detailed from time to time in Park's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including those described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part I of Park's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Park does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the results of any revisions that may be made to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement was made, or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2012 Annual Report to Shareholders the ("2012 Annual Report”) lists significant accounting policies used in the development and presentation of Park’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting and reporting policies of Park conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) and general practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Park believes the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The allowance for loan losses is calculated with the objective of maintaining a reserve level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and of current economic conditions. However, this evaluation has subjective components requiring material estimates, including expected default probabilities, the expected loss given default, the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, and estimated losses on consumer loans and residential mortgage loans based on historical loss experience and current economic conditions. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent that actual results differ from management estimates, additional loan loss provisions may be required that would adversely impact earnings in

future periods. (Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses” section within this MD&A for additional discussion.)

Other real estate owned (“OREO”), property acquired through foreclosure, is recorded at estimated fair value less anticipated selling costs (net realizable value). If the net realizable value is below the carrying value of the loan on the date of transfer, the difference is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent declines in value, OREO devaluations, are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount of OREO and are expensed within other income. Gains or losses not previously recognized, resulting from the sale of OREO, are recognized in other income on the date of sale. OREO totaled $35.4 million at September 30, 2013 and $35.7 million at December 31, 2012.

U.S. GAAP requires management to establish a fair value hierarchy, which has the objective of maximizing the use of observable market inputs. U.S. GAAP also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the inputs used to calculate fair value. These are classified as Level 1, 2, and 3. Level 3 inputs are those with significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the market for a particular instrument. Some of these inputs could be based on internal models and cash flow analyses. The large majority of Park’s assets whose fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs consists of available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities. The fair value of these AFS securities is obtained largely through the use of matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the financial services industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Please see Note 15 - Fair Value of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on fair value.

Management believes that the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies. U.S. GAAP establishes standards for the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the impairment assessment of goodwill. Goodwill arising from business combinations represents the value attributable to unidentifiable intangible assets in the business acquired. Park’s goodwill relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Park’s Ohio-based banking subsidiary, The Park National Bank (“PNB”) to provide quality, cost-effective banking services in a competitive marketplace. The goodwill value is supported by revenue that is in part driven by the volume of business transacted. A decrease in earnings resulting from a decline in the customer base, the inability to deliver cost-effective services over sustained periods or significant credit problems can lead to impairment of goodwill that could adversely impact earnings in future periods. U.S. GAAP requires an annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. Park’s most recent evaluation was completed during the second quarter of 2013 and resulted in no impairment of goodwill. The fair value of the goodwill, which resides on the books of PNB, is estimated by reviewing the past and projected operating results for PNB, deposit and loan totals for PNB and banking industry comparable information. Please see Note 4 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on intangible assets.

Comparison of Results of Operations

For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Summary Discussion of Results

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $19.0 million, compared to $12.0 million for the third quarter of 2012. Diluted earnings per common share were $1.23 for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $0.78 for the third quarter of 2012. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 15,411,972 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 15,405,894 diluted common shares for the third quarter of 2012.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $59.8 million, compared to $62.3 million for the first nine months of 2012. Net income available to common shareholders was $59.8 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $58.9 million (which is net of preferred share dividends and accretion) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Preferred share dividends and the related accretion of the discount on the preferred shares, pertaining to the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Shares, Series A, each without par value and with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) issued to the U.S. Treasury on December 23, 2008, was $3.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. On April 25, 2012, Park repurchased the $100 million in Series A Preferred Shares issued to the U.S. Treasury as part of the Capital Purchase Program. As a result of this repurchase, Park recorded a charge to retained earnings and a corresponding reduction to net income available to common shareholders of $1.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

Net income and net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included a gain of $22.2 million ($14.4 million after-tax) from the sale of substantially all of the performing loans, operating assets and the liabilities of Vision Bank ("Vision"). Excluding the gain on sale of the Vision business, net income and net income available to common shareholders was $47.9 million and $44.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Diluted earnings per common share were $3.88 for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $3.82 for the first nine months of 2012. Excluding the gain on sale of the Vision business in the first nine months of 2012, diluted earnings per common share were $2.88. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding were 15,411,981 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 15,409,186 diluted common shares for the first nine months of 2012.

Projection of Fiscal 2013 Results

The information below begins with Park's projected consolidated pre-tax, pre-provision income and incorporates a projected range for provision for loan losses, income before income tax, income taxes and net income for Park on a consolidated basis in 2013. Management's original projection for 2013 as discussed in Park's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 is presented below, along with Park's performance through September 30, 2013 and our current projection for the year ending December 31, 2013. Following our inclusion of this information in this Form 10-Q, management plans to discontinue the use of financial projections in future filings.



(In thousands)	Original projection for 2013				75% of midpoint		Nine months YTD 2013		Current projection for 2013
Pre-tax, pre-provision income	$	113,000	$	131,000	$	91,500	$	83,241	$	109,500	$	112,500
Provision for loan losses	20,000		15,000		13,125		3,500		7,500		4,500

Net income	$	69,750	$	85,840	$	58,346	$	59,773	$	76,300	$	80,400

The decline in the current projections of pre-tax, pre-provision income (from management's original projection) results from the continued low interest rate environment, resulting in lower than previously projected net interest income. Conversely, management currently projects that the provision for loan losses will be lower than originally projected as a result of net recoveries at SE Property Holdings, LLC ("SEPH"). See detailed segment information below.

The “Park Parent Company” above excludes the results for SEPH, an entity which is winding down commensurate with the disposition of its problem assets. Management considers the “Ongoing operations” results to be reflective of the business of Park and its subsidiaries on a going forward basis. The discussion below provides some additional information regarding the segments that make up the “Ongoing operations”, followed by additional information on SEPH.

Vision Bank (“Vision”) merged with and into SEPH, a non-bank subsidiary of Park, following the sale of the Vision business to Centennial Bank (“Centennial”) on February 16, 2012. The sale of the Vision business in the first quarter of 2012 resulted in a pre-tax gain of $22.2 million ($14.4 million after-tax), which is included in the nine months year-to-date 2012 SEPH results presented in the table above. SEPH holds the remaining assets and liabilities retained by Vision subsequent to the sale. SEPH assets consist primarily of performing and nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”). This segment represents a run-off portfolio of the legacy Vision assets.

Through the first nine months of 2013, loan balances increased by $139 million, or an annualized 4.25%. Loans outstanding at September 30, 2013 of $4.51 billion represented an increase of $197 million, or 4.57%, compared to the loans outstanding of $4.31 billion at September 30, 2012. The $197 million increase in loans experienced at PNB over the last twelve months is related to growth in PNB's retained mortgage loan portfolio of approximately $95 million, growth in the consumer loan portfolio of approximately $54 million and an increase in the commercial loan portfolio of approximately $48 million.

PNB's allowance for loan losses increased by $2.3 million, or 4.3%, to $55.4 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $53.1 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in PNB's allowance for loan losses resulted from an increase in general reserves set aside for performing loans and an increase in specific reserves on impaired credits. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses” section below for additional information regarding the credit metrics of PNB's loan portfolio.

PNB's investment securities portfolio declined by $192.6 million, or 12.2%, over the course of the 2013 year, as PNB made a decision not to reinvest a portion of the cash received from prepayments on certain of the investments in the securities portfolio. PNB's investment securities portfolio had a balance of $1.39 billion at September 30, 2013, compared to $1.58 billion and $1.65 billion at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively. Rather than reinvesting these funds into investment securities with longer duration in the current low interest rate environment, PNB had $179.4 million in federal funds sold at September 30, 2013, compared to $36.9 million and $165.5 million of federal funds sold at December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

SEPH financial results for the first nine months of 2013 included net recoveries of $8.9 million. The net recoveries during the first nine months consisted of charge-offs of $1.9 million, offset by recoveries of $10.8 million. Fee income in the first nine months of 2013 at SEPH of $2.0 million was primarily related to gains on the sale of OREO of $2.3 million, offset by OREO valuation adjustments of $288,000.

On February 16, 2012, when Vision merged with and into SEPH, the loans then held by Vision were transferred to SEPH by operation of law at their fair market value and no allowance for loan loss is carried at SEPH. The loans included in both the performing and nonperforming portfolios have been charged down to their fair value. The table below provides additional information regarding charge-offs as a percentage of unpaid principal balance, as of September 30, 2013:

Net Interest Income Comparison for the Third Quarter of 2013 and 2012

Park’s principal source of earnings is net interest income, the difference between total interest income and total interest expense. Net interest income results from average balances outstanding for interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities in conjunction with the average rates earned and paid on them. Net interest income decreased by $3.0 million, or 5.2%, to $55.0 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $58.0 million for the third quarter of 2012. The $3.0 million decrease was primarily due to the continued low interest rate environment and management's disciplined approach to not fully reinvest in the investment portfolio. See the following discussion under the table below.

The following table compares the average balance and tax equivalent yield on interest earning assets and the average balance and cost of interest bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2013 with the same quarter in 2012.

Average interest earning assets for the third quarter of 2013 increased by $20.0 million or 0.3% to $6,220 million, compared to $6,200 million for the third quarter of 2012. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased by 37 basis points to 4.19% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 4.56% for the third quarter of 2012. While the low interest rate environment has contributed to the decline in the average yield on interest earning assets, Park's decision not to reinvest a portion of the cash received from prepayments on certain of the investments in the investment securities portfolio has also impacted the average yield on interest earning assets. Rather than reinvesting these funds into investment securities with longer duration in the current low interest rate environment, Park had an average federal funds sold balance of $296 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to an average federal funds sold balance of $208 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Average interest bearing liabilities for the third quarter of 2013 decreased by $66.0 million or 1.3% to $4,935 million, compared to $5,001 million for the third quarter of 2012. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased by 16 basis points to 0.84% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 1.00% for the third quarter of 2012.

Loans, Investments, Deposits and Borrowings

Average loan balances increased by $148 million, or 3.4%, to $4,540 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $4,392 million for the third quarter of 2012. Period end loan balances as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $4,574 million and $4,401 million, respectively. The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased by 36 basis points to 4.95% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 5.31% for the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in the average yield on the loan portfolio was primarily due to interest rate changes associated with the variable rate portion of the loan portfolio and management's decision to continue to retain 15-year, fixed-rate mortgage loans on the balance sheet.

Park's total loans outstanding at September 30, 2013 were $4,574 million, compared to $4,450 million at December 31, 2012, an increase of $124 million, or an annualized 3.7%. Loan balances at Park's Ohio-based bank subsidiary, PNB, have increased by $139 million, or an annualized 4.25%, to $4,508 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $4,369 million at December 31, 2012.

The average balance of taxable investment securities decreased by $213 million, or 13.3%, to $1,384 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $1,597 million for the third quarter of 2012. The average yield on taxable investment securities declined by 49 basis points to 2.55% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 3.04% for the third quarter of 2012. As previously discussed, the decline in the average balance of investment securities was due to management's decision to not re-invest a portion of cash available into investment securities with longer duration in the current low interest rate environment. See the table in the section captioned "Mix of Average Interest Earning Assets and Yield on Average Interest Earning Assets".

Table of Contents

The average balance of money market instruments increased by $87.4 million to $295.6 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $208.2 million for the third quarter of 2012. The average yield on money market instruments was 0.25% for the third quarter of each of 2013 and 2012.

The amortized cost of total investment securities was $1,427 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $1,567 million at December 31, 2012. At September 30, 2013, the tax equivalent yield on Park’s investment portfolio was 2.46% and the remaining average life was estimated to be 6.3 years.

Average interest bearing deposit accounts decreased by $32 million or 0.8% to $3,797 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $3,829 million for the third quarter of 2012. The average interest rate paid on interest bearing deposits decreased by 13 basis points to 0.33% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 0.46% for the third quarter last year.

Average total borrowings were $1,138 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $1,172 million for the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of $34 million or 2.9%. The average interest rate paid on total borrowings was 2.54% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 2.79% for the third quarter of 2012.

Net interest spread (the difference between the tax equivalent yield on interest earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities) decreased by 21 basis points to 3.35% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 3.56% for the third quarter last year. Net interest margin (the annualized tax equivalent net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) declined by 23 basis points to 3.52% for the third quarter of 2013, compared to 3.75% for the third quarter of 2012.

Net Interest Income Comparison for the First Nine Months of 2013 and 2012

Net interest income declined by $13.3 million, or 7.5%, to $165.1 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $178.4 million for the same period of 2012. The $13.3 million decline was due to the sale of the Vision business during the first quarter of 2012 and the continued low interest rate environment. Net interest income (expense) for SEPH/Vision for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $(1.5 million) and $0.5 million, respectively.

The following table compares the average balance and tax equivalent yield on interest earning assets and the average balance and cost of interest bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2013 with the same period in 2012.

A primary financial goal for Park is to increase the amount of quality loans on its balance sheet. Management emphasizes the importance of growing quality loans on an ongoing basis to its retail and commercial lenders. The average balance of loans for the first nine months of 2013 was $4,488 million, compared to $4,411 million for all of 2012.

Management actively manages the investment portfolio. The average balance of investment securities may increase as a result of attractive investment opportunities. Likewise, the average balance of investment securities may decrease if management sells investment securities or chooses not to reinvest the cash flow from maturities or investment repayments. Through the first nine months of 2013, management decided not to reinvest a portion of cash available into investment securities with longer duration in the current low interest rate environment.

The following table shows the yield on average interest earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.



	Loans		Investments		Money Market Instruments		Total
2010 - year	5.80	%	4.47	%	0.22	%	5.36	%
2011 - year	5.60	%	3.76	%	0.23	%	5.03	%
2012 - year	5.35	%	3.15	%	0.25	%	4.64	%
2013 - first nine months	5.05	%	2.72	%	0.25	%	4.30	%

The loan portfolio for Park provides a higher yield than the yield on investment securities. As stated previously, a primary financial objective of Park is to grow quality loans. Park’s net interest income and net interest margin would increase if Park

were able to increase its loan portfolio with quality loans. Park has strong liquidity and would be able to easily fund a significant increase in its loan portfolio.

Credit Metrics and Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses for Park was $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $16.7 million for the same period in 2012. Net loan recoveries for Park were $285,000 for the third quarter of 2013, compared to net loan charge-offs of $19.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. Park's annualized ratio of net loan (recoveries)/charge-offs to average loans was (0.02)% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 1.79% for the same period in 2012.

The provision for loan losses for Park was $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $30.2 million for the same period in 2012. Net loan charge-offs for Park were $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $43.1 million for the same period of 2012. Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2012 included the charge-off of $12.1 million related to the retained Vision loans to bring the retained Vision portfolio to fair value prior to the merger of Vision with and into SEPH on February 16, 2012. Park's annualized ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans was 0.03% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 1.31% for the same period in 2012.

The provision for loan losses for PNB and Guardian, Park’s two Ohio-based subsidiaries, was an aggregate of $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $13.2 million for the same period in 2012. Net loan charge-offs for PNB and Guardian totaled $10.0 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 2012. The annualized ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans for PNB and Guardian was 0.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 0.48% for the same period in 2012.

The recovery of loan losses for SEPH was $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the provision for loan losses of $17.0 million for the same period in 2012. Net loan recoveries for SEPH for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $8.9 million. Net loan charge-offs for SEPH during the period February 16, 2012 through September 30, 2012, were $15.9 million.

On February 16, 2012, when Vision merged with and into SEPH, the loans then held by Vision were transferred to SEPH by operation of law at their fair value and no allowance for loan loss is carried at SEPH. As a result, the loans included in both the performing and nonperforming portfolios were charged down to their fair value. The table below provides additional information regarding cumulative charge-offs as a percentage of unpaid principal balance, as of September 30, 2013.



SEPH - Retained Vision Loan Portfolio

(In thousands)	Unpaid Principal Balance		Aggregate Charge-Offs		Net Book Balance		Charge-off Percentage
Nonperforming loans - retained by SEPH	$	87,952	$	48,604	$	39,348	55.26	%

Total SEPH loan exposure	$	91,333	$	48,846	$	42,487	53.48	%

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

The following table provides additional information related to Park’s allowance for loan losses, including information related to specific reserves and general reserves, at September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012.

General reserves as a % of non-impaired loans	1.09		%	1.10		%	1.13		%

The increase in specific reserves through September 30, 2013 was largely due to management’s conclusion to establish a $4.8 million specific reserve for one PNB loan relationship, offset by charge-offs of specific reserves. The decline in general reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans from 1.13% at September 30, 2012 to 1.09% at September 30, 2013 is primarily due to improving credit trends in the commercial loan portfolio for Park's Ohio operations (PNB and GFSC). The following table shows the trends in Park's Ohio-based operations commercial loan portfolio.



Commercial loans * (In thousands)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012		December 31, 2011

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

The commercial loans table above demonstrates the improvement experienced over the last 21 months in Park's Ohio commercial portfolio. Pass rated commercial loans have grown $130.2 million, or 6.1% since December 2011. Over this period, special mention loans have declined by $22.1 million, or 33.4%, and substandard loans have declined by $27.3 million, or 92.2%. These improved credit metrics in the special mention and substandard categories of the commercial loan portfolio have a significant impact on the general reserves that are established to cover incurred losses on performing commercial loans. As these credit metrics have improved over the past 21 months, general reserves as a percentage of non-impaired loans have declined.

Delinquent and accruing loan trends (includes all outstanding loans, consumer and commercial) for Park's Ohio-based operations have also improved over the past 21 months. Delinquent and accruing loans were $29.4 million or 0.65% of total loans at September 30, 2013, compared to $39.6 million (0.90%) at December 31, 2012 and $40.1 million (0.96%) at December 31, 2011.

Impaired commercial loans for Park's Ohio-based operations were $80.5 million as of September 30, 2013, a reduction from the balances of impaired loans of $89.4 million at December 31, 2012 and $95.1 million at December 31, 2011. Impaired commercial loans are individually evaluated for impairment and specific reserves are established and/or charge-offs are taken to cover incurred losses.

Nonperforming Assets: Nonperforming loans include: 1) loans whose interest is accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; 2) TDRs on accrual status; and 3) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but whose interest continues to accrue. OREO results from taking possession of property used as collateral for a defaulted loan.

Park management reviews all TDRs quarterly and may classify a TDR as accruing if the borrower has been current for a period of at least six months with respect to loan payments and management expects that the borrower will be able to continue to make payments in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. At September 30, 2013, management deemed it appropriate to have $24.4 million of TDRs on accrual status, while the remaining $78.5 million of TDRs were on nonaccrual status. Management reviews all accruing TDRs quarterly to ensure payments continue to be made in accordance with the modified terms.

When determining the quarterly loan loss provision, Park reviews the grades of commercial loans. These loans are graded from 1 to 8. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans with grades of 1 to 4.5 (pass-rated) are considered to be of acceptable credit risk. Commercial loans graded a 5 (special mention) are considered to be watch list credits and a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Commercial loans graded 6 (substandard), also considered watch list credits, represent higher credit risk than those rated special mention and, as a result, a higher loan loss reserve percentage is allocated to these loans. Generally, commercial loans that are graded a 6 are considered for partial charge-off. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonperforming and Park generally charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Any commercial loan graded an 8 (loss) is completely charged-off.

As of September 30, 2013, Park had taken partial charge-offs of approximately $83.3 million related to the $118.2 million of commercial loans considered to be impaired, compared to charge-offs of approximately $105.1 million related to the $137.2 million of impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2012. The table below provides additional information related to the Park impaired commercial loans at September 30, 2013, including those impaired commercial loans at PNB and those impaired Vision commercial loans retained at SEPH.

A significant portion of Park’s allowance for loan losses is allocated to commercial loans classified as “special mention” or “substandard.” “Special mention” loans are loans that have potential weaknesses that may result in loss exposure to Park. “Substandard” loans are those that exhibit a well defined weakness, jeopardizing repayment of the loan, resulting in a higher probability that Park will suffer a loss on the loan unless the weakness is corrected. Park’s annualized 54-month loss experience for the period ended June 30, 2013, defined as charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves, within the commercial loan portfolio was 0.63% of the principal balance of these loans. This annualized 54-month loss experience included only the performance of the PNB loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses related to performing commercial loans was $31.5 million or 1.36% of the outstanding principal balance of other accruing commercial loans at September 30, 2013.

The overall reserve of 1.36% for other accruing commercial loans breaks down as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved at 1.27%; special mention commercial loans are reserved at 5.77%; and substandard commercial loans are reserved at 10.40%. The reserve levels for pass-rated, special mention and substandard commercial loans in excess of the annualized 54-month loss experience of 0.63% are due to the following factors which management reviews on a quarterly or annual basis:

•

Loss Emergence Period Factor: Annually during the fourth quarter, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. This loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes a credit to move from pass-rated to nonaccrual. If the loss emergence period for any commercial loan segment is greater than one year, management applies additional general reserves to all performing loans within that segment of the commercial loan portfolio. This factor was updated as of June 30, 2013 as part of the historical loan loss calculation update previously discussed.

•

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


•	Environmental Loss Factor: Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and adjustments to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlates to changes in the macroeconomic environment.

Generally, consumer loans are not individually graded. Consumer loans include: (1) mortgage and installment loans included in the construction real estate segment of the loan portfolio; (2) mortgage, home equity lines of credit (HELOC), and installment loans included in the residential real estate segment of the loan portfolio; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment of

Table of Contents

the loan portfolio. The amount of loan loss reserve assigned to these loans is based on historical loss experience over the past 54 months, through June 30, 2013. Management generally considers a one-year coverage period (the “Historical Loss Factor”) appropriate because the probable loss on any given loan in the consumer loan pool should ordinarily become apparent in that time frame. However, management may incorporate adjustments to the Historical Loss Factor as circumstances warrant additional reserves (e.g., increased loan delinquencies, improving or deteriorating economic conditions, changes in lending management and underwriting standards, etc.). At September 30, 2013, the coverage period within the consumer portfolio was approximately 1.64 years.

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

Total Other Income

Total other income decreased by $683,000 to $17.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to $18.1 million for the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total other income decreased $19.7 million to $55.5 million, compared to $75.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the gain on the sale of Vision, total other income increased $2.5 million to $55.5 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $53.0 million for the same period in 2012.

Income from fiduciary activities, which represents revenue earned from Park’s trust activities, increased by $120,000, or 3.0%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2012. Fiduciary fee income increased by $652,000, or 5.5%, to $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2012. Fiduciary fees are generally charged based on the market value of customer accounts. The average market value for assets under management for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $3,753 million, an increase of approximately 6.7% compared to the average for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $3,519 million.

Service charges on deposits increased by $11,000, or 0.3%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $4.2 million for the same period in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, service charges on deposits decreased by $322,000, or 2.6%, to $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease for the nine-month period was primarily attributable to a decline in non-sufficient funds (“NSF”) charges.

Fee income earned from origination and sale into the secondary market of long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans is included within other non-yield related fees in the subcategory “Other service income”. Other service income decreased by $626,000, or 15.6%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2012. Other service income increased by $560,000, or 5.5%, to $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 2012. The volume of originations of mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market is the primary driver of changes in this fee income category. As long-term interest rates increased during the third quarter of 2013, the volume of originations (purchases or refinances) of mortgage loans declined.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, OREO valuation adjustments increased by $1.6 million, to a net expense of $2.0 million, compared to a net expense of $425,000 for the same period in 2012. The increase in the third quarter of 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily related to OREO devaluations recognized at PNB. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, OREO valuation adjustments decreased by $2.2 million, to a net expense of $2.2 million, compared to a net expense of $4.4 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily related to fewer valuation adjustments at SEPH in 2013 related to legacy Vision assets.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, gain on the sale of OREO, net increased by $757,000 to $895,000, compared to $138,000 for the same period in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, gain on the sale of OREO, net, decreased by $634,000, to $2.8 million, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2012. Through the first nine months of 2013, total OREO sales were $18.4 million. These 2013 sales were related to properties that had a book value of $15.6 million. For the first nine months of 2012, total OREO sales were $21.3 million. These 2012 sales were related to properties that had a book value of $18.7 million.

Salaries and employee benefits increased by $1.6 million, or 6.7%, to $25.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $24.3 million for the same period in 2012. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $3.3 million, or 4.6%, to $75.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $71.9 million for the same period in 2012. The increase through the first nine months of 2013 was largely related to increased salary expense in Park's Ohio-based operations.

Amortization of intangibles decreased by $1.7 million, or 83.4% to $337,000 for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2012. This decrease was a result of accelerated intangible amortization in the first quarter

Income Tax

Federal income tax expense was $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2013, compared to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2012. The effective federal income tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 was 24.3%, compared to 12.9% for the same period in 2012. Federal income tax expense was $20.0 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared to $21.1 million for the same period in 2012. The effective federal income tax rate for the first nine months of 2013 was 25.0%, compared to 25.3% for the same period in 2012. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% and Park’s effective tax rate is due to the permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, low income housing tax credits, bank owned life insurance income, and dividends paid on shares held within Park’s salary deferral plan. Park expects permanent tax differences for the 2013 year will be approximately $10 million.

Park and its Ohio-based affiliates do not pay state income taxes to the state of Ohio, but pay a franchise tax based on year end equity. The franchise tax expense is included in “state taxes” as part of other expense on Park’s Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.

Comparison of Financial Condition

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012

Changes in Financial Condition and Liquidity

Total assets increased by $63 million, or 0.9%, to $6,706 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $6,643 million at December 31, 2012.

Total investment securities decreased by $193 million, or 12.2%, to $1,389 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $1,582 million at December 31, 2012. Money market instruments, included in cash and cash equivalents, increased by $142 million to $179 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $37 million at December 31, 2012. Loan balances increased by $124 million to $4,574 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $4,450 million at December 31, 2012.

Total liabilities increased by $81 million, or 1.4%, during the first nine months of 2013 to $6,073 million at September 30, 2013, from $5,992 million at December 31, 2012.

Total deposits increased by $135 million, or 2.9%, to $4,851 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $4,716 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in deposits in the first nine months of 2013 was largely related to an increase in interest bearing transaction accounts and savings accounts.

Short-term borrowings decreased by $71 million, or 20.6%, to $273 million at September 30, 2013, from $344 million at December 31, 2012. Long-term borrowings, including subordinated debentures and notes, increased by $28 million or 3.2% to $890 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $862 million at December 31, 2012.

Total shareholders’ equity decreased by $17.7 million, or 2.7%, to $632.7 million at September 30, 2013, from $650.4 million at December 31, 2012. Retained earnings increased by $16.3 million during the period as a result of net income of $59.8 million, offset by common share dividends of $43.4 million. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased by $33.9 million to a loss of $51.4 million at September 30, 2013, compared to a loss of $17.5 million at December 31, 2012. This $33.9 million increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss was related to an unrealized net holding loss in the investment portfolio of $33.9 million, net of taxes, as a result of the mark-to-market adjustment at September 30, 2013.

Increases or decreases in the investment securities portfolio, short-term borrowings and long-term debt are greatly dependent upon the growth in loans and deposits. The primary objective of management is to grow loan and deposit totals. To the extent that management is unable to grow loan totals at a desired growth rate, additional investment securities may be acquired. Likewise, both short-term borrowings and long-term debt are utilized to fund the growth in earning assets if the growth in deposits and cash flow from operations are not sufficient to do so.

Effective liquidity management ensures that the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, as well as the operating cash needs of the Corporation, are met. Funds are available from a number of sources, including the securities portfolio, the core deposit base, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, and the capability to securitize or package loans for sale. The Corporation’s loan to asset ratio was 68.20% at September 30, 2013, compared to 66.99% at December 31, 2012 and 65.16% at September 30, 2012. Cash and cash equivalents were $314.9 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $201.3 million at December 31, 2012 and $281.3 million at September 30, 2012. Management believes that the present funding sources provide more than adequate liquidity for the Corporation to meet its cash flow needs.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2013 was $632.7 million, or 9.4% of total assets, compared to $650.4 million, or 9.8% of total assets, at December 31, 2012 and $659.1 million, or 9.8% of total assets, at September 30, 2012. Common equity, which is shareholders’ equity excluding any preferred stock, was $632.7 million at September 30, 2013, or 9.4% of total assets, compared to $650.4 million, or 9.8% of total assets, at December 31, 2012 and $659.1 million, or 9.8% of total assets, at September 30, 2012.

Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios for banks, thrifts and bank holding companies. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is generally not included in computing regulatory capital. The minimum leverage capital ratio (defined as shareholders’ equity less intangible assets divided by tangible assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio (PNB only) is greater than or equal to 5%. Park’s leverage ratio was 9.36% at September 30, 2013 and 9.17% at December 31, 2012. The minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital divided by

risk-adjusted assets) is 4% and the well capitalized ratio (PNB only) is greater than or equal to 6%. Park’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 13.24% at September 30, 2013 and 13.12% at December 31, 2012. The minimum total risk-based capital ratio (defined as leverage capital plus supplemental capital divided by risk-adjusted assets) is 8% and the well capitalized ratio (PNB only) is greater than or equal to 10%. Park’s total risk-based capital ratio was 15.86% at September 30, 2013 and 15.77% at December 31, 2012.

PNB met the well capitalized ratio guidelines at September 30, 2013. The following table indicates the capital ratios for PNB and Park at September 30, 2013.



	Leverage		Tier 1 Risk Based		Total Risk-Based
The Park National Bank	6.99	%	9.96	%	11.70	%
Park National Corporation	9.36	%	13.24	%	15.86	%
Minimum capital ratio	4.00	%	4.00	%	8.00	%
Well capitalized ratio (PNB only)	5.00	%	6.00	%	10.00	%

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In the ordinary course of operations, Park enters into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include the funding of operations through debt issuances as well as leases for premises. See page 42 of Park’s 2012 Annual Report (Table 31) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2012. There were no significant changes in contractual obligations and commitments during the first nine months of 2013.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

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

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

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



(In thousands)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Loan commitments	$	868,736	$	815,585
Standby letters of credit	$	20,747	$	22,961

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a bi-monthly basis by modeling the consolidated financial statements under various interest rate scenarios. The primary reason for these efforts is to guard Park from adverse impacts of unforeseen changes in interest rates. Management continues to believe that further changes in interest rates will have a small impact on net income, consistent with the disclosure on pages 41 and 42 of Park’s 2012 Annual Report.

On page 41 (Table 30) of Park’s 2012 Annual Report, management reported that Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $1,144 million or 18.84% of interest earning assets at December 31, 2012. At September 30, 2013, Park’s twelve month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $396 million or 6.40% of interest earning assets. The significant decline in the cumulative rate sensitivity gap from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013 of $748 million is due to changes in the expected cash flows within Park’s investment portfolio, resulting from the increase in interest rates during 2013.

Management supplements the interest rate sensitivity gap analysis with periodic simulations of balance sheet sensitivity under various interest rate and what-if scenarios to better forecast and manage the net interest margin. Management uses a 50 basis point change in market interest rates per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year in evaluating the impact of changing interest rates on net interest income and net income over a twelve month horizon.

On page 42 of Park’s 2012 Annual Report, management reported that at December 31, 2012, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would increase by 1.1% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 6.6% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At September 30, 2013, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would decrease by 1.78% using a rising interest rate scenario and would decrease by 9.11% in a declining interest rate scenario. The decline in net income in both the increasing and the decreasing interest rate scenarios is due to the balance of loans that are currently indexed to an interest rate “floor”. Therefore, in a rising interest rate scenario, a portion of the loan portfolio will not experience an increase in interest income until interest rates on those loans move through the “floor” established in individual loan agreements, while deposit assumptions reflect increasing rates paid on deposits in such a scenario. At September 30, 2013, management continues to believe that gradual changes in interest rates (50 basis points per quarter for a total of 200 basis points per year) will have a small impact on net income.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

With the participation of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (the principal financial officer) of Park, Park’s management has evaluated the effectiveness of Park’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, Park’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer and Park’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that:


•	information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be accumulated and communicated to Park’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure;


•	information required to be disclosed by Park in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the other reports that Park files or submits under the Exchange Act would be recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and


•	Park’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in Park’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during Park’s fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Park’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings to which Park or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their property is subject, except for routine legal proceedings which Park’s subsidiary bank, PNB, is a party to incidental to its banking business, as well as routine legal proceedings at SEPH which SEPH (and SEPH as the successor to Vision Bank) is a party to incidental to its business. Park considers none of those proceedings to be material.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS” of Part I of Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”), we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. The following information updates one of our risk factors and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors disclosed in the 2012 Form 10-K. All of these risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described below or in the 2012 Form 10-K could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. These are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Legislative or regulatory changes or actions could adversely impact us or the businesses in which we are engaged.

The financial services industry is extensively regulated. We are subject to extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern almost all aspects of our operations. Laws and regulations may change from time to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors, borrowers, the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund and the banking system as a whole, and not to benefit our shareholders. Regulations affecting banks and financial services businesses are undergoing continuous changes, and management cannot predict the effect of these changes. The impact of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies may negatively impact us or our ability to increase the value of our business. Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operation of an institution, the classification of assets held by an institution and the adequacy of an institution’s allowance for loan losses. Additionally, actions by regulatory agencies against us could cause us to devote significant time and resources to defending our business and may lead to penalties that materially affect us and our shareholders.

In light of current conditions in the global financial markets and the global economy, regulators have increased their focus on the regulation of the financial services industry. Most recently, the United States Congress and the federal agencies regulating the financial services industry have acted on an unprecedented scale in responding to the stresses experienced in the global financial markets. Some of the laws enacted by the United States Congress and regulations promulgated by federal regulatory agencies subject us, and other financial institutions to which such laws and regulations apply, to additional restrictions, oversight and costs that may have an impact on our business, results of operations or the trading price of our Common Shares. In addition to laws, regulations and supervisory and enforcement actions directed at the operations of banks, proposals to reform the housing finance market consider winding down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which could negatively affect our sales of loans.

In July 2013, Park's primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve, published final rules (the “Basel III Capital Rules”) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee's December 2010 framework known as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules substantially revise the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and depository institutions, including Park and PNB, compared to the current U.S. risk-based capital rules. The Basel III Capital Rules define the components of capital and address other issues affecting the numerator in banking institutions' regulatory capital ratios. The Basel III Capital Rules also address risk weights and other issues affecting the denominator in banking institutions' regulatory capital ratios and replace the existing risk-weighting approach, which was derived from Basel I capital accords of the Basel Committee, with a more risk-sensitive approach based, in part, on the standardized approach in the Basel Committee's 2004 “Basel II” capital accords. The Basel III Capital Rules also implement the requirements of Section 939A of the Dodd-Frank Act to remove references to credit ratings from the federal

Table of Contents

banking agencies' rules. The Basel III Capital Rules are effective for Park and the PNB on January 1, 2015 (subject to a phase-in period). The implementation of Basel III is not expected to have a material impact on Park's or PNB's capital ratios.

(c)

No purchases of Park’s common shares were made by or on behalf of Park or any “affiliated purchaser” as defined in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The following table provides information concerning the maximum number of common shares that may be purchased under Park’s previously announced stock repurchase authorization to fund the Park National Corporation 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan:



Period	Total number of common shares purchased	Average price paid per common share	Total number of common shares purchased as part of publicly announced plans or programs	Maximum number of common shares that may yet be purchased under the plans or programs (1)
July 1 through July 31, 2013	—	—	—	600,000
August 1 through August 31, 2013	—	—	—	600,000
September 1 through September 30, 2013	—	—	—	600,000
Total	—	—	—	600,000


(1)	The number shown represents, as of the end of each period, the maximum number of common shares that may yet be purchased as part of Park’s publicly announced stock repurchase authorization to fund the Park National Corporation 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2013 Incentive Plan") which became effective on April 22, 2013.

At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 22, 2013, Park's shareholders approved the 2013 Incentive Plan. The 2013 Incentive Plan replaced the Park National Corporation 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "2005 Plan") as well as the Park National Corporation Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Park National Corporation and Subsidiaries (the “Directors' Stock Plan”), each of which terminated following the approval of the 2013 Incentive Plan by Park's shareholders. From and after April 22, 2013, no further awards may be granted by Park under the 2005 Plan or the Directors' Stock Plan.

The aggregate number of common shares with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan will be 600,000. The common shares to be issued and delivered under the 2013 Incentive Plan may consist of either common shares currently held or common shares subsequently acquired by Park as treasury shares. No newly-issued common shares will be delivered under the 2013 Incentive Plan. On April 22, 2013, Park's Board of Directors authorized the purchase, from time to time, of up to 600,000 Park common shares to be held as treasury shares for subsequent issuance and delivery under the 2013 Incentive Plan.
