Southwest Bancorp Reports Kansas Acquisition
June 19, 2009, Stillwater, Oklahoma .. .. Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select
Market-OKSB, OKSBP), ("Southwest"), tonight announced that Bank of Kansas ("SNB Kansas") had
entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") to acquire deposits, loans, and other liabilities and assets of First National Bank of
Anthony, Anthony Kansas ("FNBA") in an FDIC-assisted transaction. SNB Kansas is a wholly owned,
full service commercial banking subsidiary of Southwest headquartered in the Hutchinson Kansas
market.
All branches of FNBA will reopen as offices of SNB Kansas. FNBA depositors will automatically
become depositors of SNB Kansas and deposits will continue to be insured by the FDIC without
interruption.
We believe this transaction will significantly enhance our Kansas operations. It is consistent
with our established strategy of careful community banking expansion, and follows our acquisition
of SNB Kansas in 2007 and the merger of SNB Bank of Wichita, Southwest's Kansas thrift subsidiary,
into SNB Kansas earlier this year.
The six new SNB Kansas branches are in Anthony, Harper, Mayfield, Overland Park, Olathe, and
Wichita, Kansas, and complement existing SNB Kansas branches in Hutchinson, South Hutchinson, and
Wichita.
At March 31, 2009, our consolidated Kansas banking operations accounted for approximately $160
million in deposits and $310 million in loans. Based upon March 31, 2009 information, we estimate
that SNB Kansas will acquire an additional $140 million in deposits and $125 million in loans (at
book value) in the transaction. SNB Kansas also will receive a cash payment from the FDIC, which
will be calculated and paid on Monday June 22
nd
. Determination of the final amounts
acquired and their values for financial statement purposes will be made after further analysis.
SNB Kansas and the FDIC also have entered loss sharing agreements that provide SNB Kansas with
significant protection against credit losses from loans and related assets acquired from FNBA.
Under these agreements, the FDIC will reimburse SNB Kansas for 80% of losses on covered assets,
primarily acquired loans and other real estate, of up to $35 million, and for 95% of any losses
above $35 million. SNB Kansas will service the covered assets.
