The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be anticipated for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

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 shareholders’ equity and condensed statements of cash flows in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles. 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, 2018 from Park’s 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders (“Park's 2018 Annual Report”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Park’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2018 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.

Note 2 - Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements and Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

The following is a summary of new accounting pronouncements impacting Park's consolidated financial statements, and issued but not yet effective accounting standards:

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842): In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires all organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required so that users can understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 resulted in a $11.0 million increase in assets, a $11.2 million increase in liabilities and a $143,000 decrease in beginning retained earnings, but did not have a material impact on Park's consolidated statement of income. Additionally, Note 13 - Leases includes new required disclosures.

ASU 2017-08 - Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities: In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 - Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. This ASU amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. It shortens the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. Under previous U.S. GAAP, premiums on callable debt securities generally were amortized to the maturity date. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on Park's consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-10 - Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases: In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10 - Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This ASU includes amendments that clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-02. Park considered these clarifications in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

ASU 2018-11 - Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements: In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 - Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. This ASU amends the guidance in ASU 2016-02 which was not yet effective. The amendments

13

in the ASU provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the period of adoption. Additionally, this amendment provides lessors with a practical expedient, by class of asset, to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if certain criteria are met. Park considered these clarifications in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

ASU 2018-16 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes: In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The amendments in this ASU permit use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government ("UST"), the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have an impact on Park’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-20 - Leases (Topic 842): Narrow - Scope Improvements for Lessors: In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 - Leases (Topic 842): Narrow - Scope Improvements for Lessors. The amendments in this ASU address the treatment of certain sales taxes and other similar taxes, certain lessor costs and recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and nonlease components. Park considered these clarifications in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

ASU 2019-01 - Leases (Topic 842): Narrow - Codification Improvements: In January 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01 - Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU address the determination of the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, the presentation on the statement of cash flows for sales type and direct financing leases, and transition disclosures related to Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Park considered these clarifications in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019.

Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments: In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, HTM debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. The CECL model requires an entity to estimate credit losses over the life of an asset or off-balance sheet exposure. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018.

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on Park's consolidated financial statements. We anticipate that the adoption of the CECL model will result in a material increase to Park's allowance for loan losses. Management has established a committee to oversee the implementation of the CECL model. Currently, management is focusing on segmentation and loss driver analysis with the anticipation that preliminary models will be operational in the third quarter of 2019.

ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement by removing, modifying and adding certain requirements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this ASU. An entity is permitted to early adopt and remove or modify disclosures upon issuance of the ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on Park’s consolidated financial statements, but will impact disclosures.

14

ASU 2018-14 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans: In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifying the specific requirements of disclosures and adding disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have an impact on Park’s consolidated financial statements, but will impact disclosures.

ASU 2018-19 - Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 - Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The amendment in this ASU clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. Park will consider this clarification in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-13.

ASU 2019-04 - Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments: In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19 - Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. This ASU includes amendments that clarify or address specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 925-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.

Park has already adopted ASU 2016-01.  As a result, the amendments within ASU 2019-04 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Early adoption is permitted.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on Park’s consolidated financial statements.

For the amendments that clarify or address specific aspects of ASU 2016-13, Park will consider these clarifications in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Park has already adopted ASU 2017-12.  As a result, the amendments within ASU 2019-04 are effective as of January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted.  This ASU will allow entities, like Park, who did not reclassify debt securities from HTM to AFS upon the adoption of ASU 2017-12 to reclassify these securities as of the adoption of ASU 2019-04.  Park is considering this option which would result in a reclassification of balance sheet amounts but would result in no impact to the consolidated condensed statements of income.

ASU 2019-05 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this ASU provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments - Overall, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon adoption of Topic 326. Park will consider this amendment in determining the appropriate adoption of ASU 2016-13.

Note 3 - Business Combinations

NewDominion Bank

On July 1, 2018, NewDominion Bank, a North Carolina state-chartered bank (“NewDominion”), merged with and into The Park National Bank, the national bank subsidiary of Park, with PNB continuing as the surviving entity pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “NewDominion Merger Agreement”), dated as of January 22, 2018, by and among Park, PNB, and NewDominion. In accordance with the NewDominion Merger Agreement, NewDominion shareholders were permitted to make an election to receive for their shares of NewDominion common stock either $1.08 in cash without interest (the cash consideration) or 0.01023 of a Park common share, plus cash in lieu of any fractional Park common share (the stock consideration). Based on the terms of the New Dominion Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration to be paid in the merger was subject to proration and allocation procedures to ensure that 60 percent of the shares of NewDominion common stock outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the merger were exchanged for the stock consideration and that the remaining 40 percent of the shares of NewDominion common stock outstanding immediately prior to

15

the completion of the merger were exchanged for the cash consideration, including, in each case, shares of NewDominion common stock subject to NewDominion options and restricted stock awards.

Purchase consideration consisted of 435,457 Park common shares, valued at $48.5 million, and $30.7 million in cash to acquire 91.45% of NewDominion's outstanding shares of common stock. The remaining 8.55% of NewDominion's outstanding shares of common stock was previously held by Park. Park recognized a gain of $3.5 million as a result of remeasuring to fair value its 8.55% equity interest in NewDominion held before the business combination. This non-taxable gain is included in "Gain on equity securities, net" in the consolidated condensed statements of income. The acquisition is expected to provide additional revenue growth and geographic diversification.

NewDominion's results of operations were included in Park’s results beginning July 1, 2018. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, Park recorded merger-related expenses of $8,000 and $79,000, respectively, associated with the NewDominion acquisition. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, Park recorded merger-related expenses of $445,000 and $595,000, respectively, associated with the NewDominion acquisition.

Goodwill of $40.4 million arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the operations of the PNB and NewDominion. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes as the transaction was accounted for as a tax-free exchange.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for NewDominion and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value:

(in thousands)
Consideration
Cash	$	30,684
Park common shares	48,519
Previous 8.55% investment in NewDominion	7,000
Fair value of total consideration transferred	$	86,203
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash and cash equivalents	$	42,954

Deposits	284,231
Other liabilities	2,254
Total liabilities assumed	286,485
Net identifiable assets	45,798
Goodwill	$	40,405

Park accounted for the NewDominion acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

16

The fair value of net assets acquired includes fair value adjustments to loans that were not considered impaired as of the acquisition date.  The fair value adjustments were determined using discounted contractual cash flows.  However, Park believes that all contractual cash flows related to these loans will be collected.  As such, these loans were not considered impaired at the acquisition date and were not subject to the guidance relating to purchased credit impaired loans which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  Loans acquired that were not subject to these requirements included non-impaired loans with a fair value and gross contractual amounts receivable of $267.9 million and $273.7 million, respectively, on the date of acquisition.

The table below presents information with respect to the fair value of acquired loans as well as their book balance at the acquisition date.

CAB Financial Corporation

On April 1, 2019, CAB Financial Corporation, a South Carolina corporation, merged with and into Park, with Park continuing as the surviving entity pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the "CABF Merger Agreement"), dated as of September 12, 2018, by and between Park and CABF. Immediately following the merger, Carolina Alliance Bank, a South Carolina state-chartered bank and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CABF, was merged with and into PNB, with PNB as the surviving bank. In accordance with the CABF Merger Agreement, CABF shareholders were to receive for each share of their CABF common stock (i) $3.80 in cash (the cash consideration) and (ii) 0.1378 of a Park common share (the stock consideration). CABF stock options and restricted stock awards were fully vested (with any performance-based vesting condition deemed satisfied) and canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive merger consideration.

Purchase consideration consisted of 1,037,205 Park common shares, valued at $98.3 million, and $28.6 million in cash to acquire 100% of CABF outstanding shares of common stock. The acquisition is expected to provide additional revenue growth and geographic diversification.

Carolina Alliance's results of operations were included in Park's results beginning April 1, 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, Park recorded merger-related expenses of $6.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively, associated with the Carolina Alliance acquisition. No merger-related expenses were recorded for the three or six months ended June 30, 2018 associated with the Carolina Alliance acquisition.

Goodwill of $45.3 million arising from the acquisition consisted largely of synergies and the cost savings resulting from the combining of the operations of PNB and Carolina Alliance. The goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes as the transaction was accounted for as a tax-free exchange.

17

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Carolina Alliance and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value:

(in thousands)
Consideration
Cash	$	28,630
Park common shares	98,275
Fair value of total consideration transferred	$	126,905
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed

Deposits	632,707
Other liabilities	35,951
Total liabilities assumed	668,658
Net identifiable assets	81,587
Goodwill	$	45,318

Park accounted for the Carolina Alliance acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. Park continues to finalize the fair values of loans, intangible assets, and deferred taxes. As a result, the fair value adjustments are preliminary and may change as information becomes available. Fair value adjustments will be finalized no later than April 2020.

The fair value of net assets acquired includes fair value adjustments to loans that were not considered impaired as of the acquisition date.  The fair value adjustments were determined using discounted contractual cash flows.  However, Park believes that all contractual cash flows related to these loans will be collected.  As such, these loans were not considered impaired at the acquisition date and were not subject to the guidance relating to purchased credit impaired loans which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination.  Loans acquired that were not subject to these requirements included non-impaired loans with a fair value and gross contractual amounts receivable of $558.6 million and $570.8 million, respectively, on the date of acquisition.

Management does not believe any of the unrealized/unrecognized losses at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 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 amortized cost and estimated fair value of investments in debt securities at June 30, 2019, are shown in the following table by contractual maturity, except for asset-backed securities, which are shown as a single total, due to the unpredictability of the timing of principal repayments.

Note 5 – Other Investment Securities

Other investment securities consist of stock investments in the FHLB, the FRB, and equity securities. The FHLB and FRB restricted stock investments are carried at their redemption value. Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are carried at fair value. Equity securities without a readily determinable fair value are recorded at cost, minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions ("modified cost"). Park's portfolio of equity investments in limited partnerships which provide mezzanine funding ("Partnership Investments") are valued using the net asset value practical expedient in accordance with ASC 820.

The carrying amount of other investment securities at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

(In thousands)	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
FHLB stock	$	35,280	$	43,388

Management’s general practice is to charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $4.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment with no related allowance recorded and $2.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively, of partial charge-offs on loans individually evaluated for impairment that also had a specific reserve allocated.

The allowance included specific reserves related to loans individually evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 of $2.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively. These loans with specific reserves had a recorded investment of $12.5 million and $14.0 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Interest income on nonaccrual loans individually evaluated for impairment is recognized on a cash basis only when Park expects to receive the entire recorded investment of the loans. Interest income on accruing TDRs individually evaluated for impairment continues to be recorded on an accrual basis. The following table presents the average recorded investment and interest income recognized subsequent to impairment on loans individually evaluated for impairment as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018:

Credit Quality Indicators

Management utilizes past due information as a credit quality indicator across the loan portfolio. Past due information as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 commercial loans on a scale from 1 to 8. Credit grades are continuously monitored by the responsible loan officer and adjustments are made when appropriate. A grade of 1 indicates little or no credit risk and a grade of 8 is considered a loss. Commercial loans that are pass-rated (graded an 1 through a 4) 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 Park’s credit position at some future date. Commercial loans graded a 6 (substandard), also considered to be 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 placed on nonaccrual status and 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for all commercial loans:

(1) Excludes loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality which are nonaccrual or TDRs due to additional credit deterioration or modification post acquisition. These loans had a recorded investment of $475,000 at December 31, 2018.

Loans and Leases Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality

In conjunction with the NewDominion Bank acquisition, Park acquired loans with a book value of $277.9 million as of July 1, 2018. These loans were recorded at the initial fair value of $272.8 million. Loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality with a book value of $5.1 million were recorded at the initial fair value of $4.9 million. The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, while the outstanding customer balance was $4.4 million and $4.6 million, respectively. At June 30, 2019 a $3,000 allowance for loan losses had been recognized related to the acquired impaired loans. At December 31, 2018, no allowance had been recognized related to the acquired impaired loans.

In conjunction with the Carolina Alliance acquisition, Park acquired loans and leases with a book value of $589.7 million as of April 1, 2019. These loans and leases were recorded at the initial fair value of $578.6 million. Loans and leases acquired with deteriorated credit quality with a book value of $21.8 million were recorded at the initial fair value of $19.9 million. The carrying amount of loans and leases acquired with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2019 was $19.7 million, while the outstanding customer balance was $22.5 million. At June 30, 2019, no allowance had been recognized related to the acquired impaired loans and leases.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

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. A court's discharge of a borrower's debt in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is considered a concession when the borrower does not reaffirm the discharged debt.

Certain loans which were modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 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.

Quarterly, 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 did not contain a concessionary interest rate or other concessionary terms and the terms of the renewal/modification are considered to be market terms based on the current risk characteristics of the borrower, management considers the potential removal of the TDR classification. If deemed appropriate, the TDR classification is removed if the borrower has complied with the terms of

30

the loan at the date of the renewal/modification and there was a reasonable expectation that the borrower would continue to comply with the terms of the loan subsequent to the date of the renewal/modification. The majority of these TDRs were originally considered restructurings in a prior year as a result of a renewal/modification with an interest rate that was not commensurate with the risk of the underlying loan at the time of the renewal/modification. There were no TDR classifications removed during the three-month period ended June 30, 2019. The TDR classification was removed on $23,000 of loans during the six-month period ended June 30, 2019. The TDR classification was removed on $1.9 million of loans during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 and on $2.2 million of loans during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $24.1 million and $24.6 million, respectively, of TDRs included in the nonaccrual loan totals. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $12.1 million and $19.2 million, respectively, of these nonaccrual TDRs were performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured note. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, loans with a recorded investment of $17.8 million and $15.2 million, respectively, were included in accruing TDR loan totals. Management will continue to review the restructured loans and may determine it is appropriate to move certain nonaccrual TDRs to accrual status in the future.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Park had commitments to lend $2.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of additional funds to borrowers whose outstanding loan terms had been modified in a TDR.

At both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were $1.2 million of specific reserves related to TDRs. Modifications made in 2019 and 2018 were largely the result of renewals and extending the maturity date of the loans at terms consistent with the original notes. 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 Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310. There were $1,000 of additional specific reserves recorded during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 as a result of TDRs identified in the period. There were no additional specific reserves recorded during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 as a result of TDRs identified in the period. Additional specific reserves of $10,000 were recorded during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 as a result of TDRs identified in the period.

The terms of certain other loans were modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 that did not meet the definition of a TDR. There were no substandard commercial loans modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 which did not meet the definition of a TDR. Substandard commercial loans modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Consumer loans modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 which did not meet the definition of a TDR had a total recorded investment of $7.4 million and $13.4 million, respectively. Consumer loans with a recorded investment of $4.7 million and $11.0 million were modified during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and did not meet the definition of a TDR. Many of these loans were to borrowers who were not experiencing financial difficulties but who were looking to reduce their cost of funds.

31

The following tables detail the number of contracts modified as TDRs during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, as well as the recorded investment of these contracts at June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018. The recorded investment pre- and post-modification is generally the same due to the fact that Park does not typically forgive principal.

Note 7 – 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 2018 Annual Report.

Loss factors are reviewed quarterly and updated at least annually to reflect recent loan loss history and incorporate current risks and trends which may not be recognized in historical data.  The following are factors management reviews on a quarterly or annual basis.

• Historical Loss Factor: Management updated the historical loss calculation during the fourth quarter of 2018, incorporating net charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves through December 31, 2018.  With the addition of 2018 historical losses, management extended the historical loss period to 108 months from 96 months. The 108-month historical loss period captures all annual periods subsequent to June 2009, the end of the most recent recession, thus encompassing the full economic cycle to date.

• Loss Emergence Period Factor: At least annually, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. The loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes from the probable occurrence of a loss event to the credit being moved 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. The loss emergence period was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018.

• 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 period of time a loan takes to migrate from pass-rated to impaired. The loss migration factor was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018.

• Environmental Loss Factor: Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and the adjustments made to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlate to changes in the macroeconomic environment. No change was made to the environmental loss factor during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 is summarized in the following tables.

Loans collectively evaluated for impairment in the following tables include all performing loans at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 2018 Annual Report).

Note 10 – Investment in Qualified Affordable Housing

Park makes certain equity investments in various limited partnerships that sponsor affordable housing projects. The purposes of these investments are to achieve a satisfactory return on capital, help create affordable housing opportunities, and assist the Company to achieve its goals associated with the Community Reinvestment Act.

The table below details the balances of Park’s affordable housing tax credit investments and related unfunded commitments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(in thousands)	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Affordable housing tax credit investments	$	56,722	$	50,347
Unfunded commitments	28,648		22,282

Commitments are funded when capital calls are made by the general partner. Park expects that the current commitments will be funded between 2019 and 2029.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Park recognized amortization expense of $1.8 million and $1.9 million, respectively, which was included within the provision for income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Park recognized amortization expense of $3.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, which was included within the provision for income taxes. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, Park recognized tax credits and other benefits from its affordable housing tax credit investments of $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, recognized $4.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively, in each case which was included within the provision for income taxes.

Note 11 – Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets

Park typically transfers a loan to other real estate owned at the time that Park takes deed/title to the real estate property asset. The carrying amounts of foreclosed real estate properties held at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are listed below, as well as the recorded investment of loans secured by residential real estate properties for which formal foreclosure proceedings were in process at those dates.

(in thousands)	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
OREO:
Commercial real estate	$	2,385	$	2,359
Construction real estate	380		1,108
Residential real estate	1,074		836
Total OREO	$	3,839	$	4,303
Loans in process of foreclosure:
Residential real estate	$	2,746	$	2,346

In addition to real estate, Park may also repossess different types of collateral. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Park had $3.8 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in other repossessed assets which are included in "Other Assets" on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. For both periods presented, the other repossessed assets largely consisted of an aircraft acquired as part of a loan workout.

Note 12 – Loan Servicing

Park serviced sold mortgage loans of $1.39 billion at both December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019 and $1.38 billion at June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2019, $2.4 million of the sold mortgage loans were sold with recourse, compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2018 and $2.6 million at June 30, 2018. Management closely monitors the delinquency rates on the mortgage loans sold with recourse. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, management had established reserves of $27,000 and $60,000, respectively, to account for expected losses on loan repurchases.

40

When Park sells mortgage loans with servicing rights retained, these 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 with respect to the underlying loan. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of MSRs is assessed for impairment with a comparison to fair value. MSRs are carried at the lower of their amortized cost or fair value. The amortization of MSRs is included within other service income in the consolidated condensed statements of income.

Activity for MSRs and the related valuation allowance follows:

 

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Mortgage servicing rights:
Carrying amount, net, beginning of period	$	10,082		$	9,969		$	10,178		$	9,688
Additions	479			448			741			776
Amortization	(425		)	(417		)	(726		)	(769		)

Servicing fees included in other service income were $0.9 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and were $1.8 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Note 13 - Leases

Park is a lessee in several noncancellable operating lease arrangements, primarily for retail branches, administrative and warehouse buildings, ATMs, and certain office equipment within its Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Kentucky markets. Certain of these leases contain renewal options for periods ranging from one to five years. Park’s leases generally do not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for many of Park’s real estate leases, variable payments such as Park's proportionate share of property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), using the modified retrospective method as of the date of adoption, January 1, 2019, as permitted by the amendments in ASU 2018-11. As a result, the Company was not required to adjust its comparative period financial information for effects of the adoption of the standard or make the new required lease disclosures for periods prior to the effective date. Upon adoption of this accounting guidance on January 1, 2019, Park recorded an initial ROU asset of $11.0 million, a lease liability of $11.8 million, and reclassified an existing deferred rent liability of $0.6 million. The impact to the Company's retained earnings, net of the tax impact, was $143,000.

Management elected to adopt the package of transition practical expedients and, therefore, has not reassessed (1) whether existing or expired contracts contain a lease, (2) lease classification for existing or expired leases or (3) the accounting for initial direct costs that were previously capitalized. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight for leases existing at the adoption date. Park elected the practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components. Additionally, Park has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with its short-term leases as an expense on a cash basis.

Management determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. If an arrangement is determined to be or contain a lease, Park recognizes a ROU asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.

41

Park’s lease liability is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. Key estimates and judgments related to the lease liability include how management determines (1) the discount rate it uses to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) the lease term, and (3) lease payments.

• ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, management cannot determine the interest rate implicit in the lease because it does not have access to the lessor’s estimated residual value or the amount of the lessor’s deferred initial direct costs. Therefore, Park utilizes its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases. Park’s incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest it would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms. To manage its capital and liquidity needs, Park periodically obtains wholesale funding from the FHLB on an over-collateralized basis. The impact of utilizing an interest rate on an over-collateralized borrowing versus a fully collateralized borrowing is not material. Therefore, the FHLB yield curve was selected by management as a baseline to determine Park’s discount rates for leases.

• The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either Park's option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. If a lease contract contains multiple renewal options, management generally models lease cash flows through the first renewal option period unless the contract contains economic incentives or other conditions that increase the likelihood that additional renewals are reasonably certain to be exercised.

• Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

–Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments, owed over the lease term;

–For certain of Park's gross real estate leases, non-lease components such as real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance; and

–Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the lease commencement date.

The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any lease incentives received. For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus initial direct costs, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Park's operating lease ROU asset and lease liability are presented in “Operating lease right-of-use asset" and "Operating lease liability," respectively, on Park's consolidated condensed balance sheet. The carrying amount of Park's ROU asset and lease liability at June 30, 2019 were $14.8 million and $15.6 million, respectively. Park's operating lease expense is recorded in "Occupancy expense" on the Company's consolidated condensed statements of income.

Other information related to operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was as follows:

Note 14 – Repurchase Agreement Borrowings

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase ("repurchase agreements") with customers represent funds deposited by customers, generally on an overnight basis, that are collateralized by investment securities owned by Park. Repurchase agreements with customers are included in short-term borrowings on the consolidated condensed balance sheets.

All repurchase agreements are subject to terms and conditions of repurchase/security agreements between Park and the client and are accounted for as secured borrowings. Park's repurchase agreements consisted of customer accounts and securities which are pledged on an individual security basis.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Park's repurchase agreement borrowings totaled $156 million and $165 million, respectively. These borrowings were collateralized with U.S. government and agency securities with a fair value of $198 million and $272 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Declines in the value of the collateral would require Park to pledge additional securities. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Park had $867 million and $933 million, respectively, of available unpledged securities.

The table below shows the remaining contractual maturity of repurchase agreements by collateral pledged at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Note 15 - Derivatives

Park uses certain derivative instruments to meet the needs of its clients while managing the interest rate risk associated with certain transactions. Park does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. A summary of derivative instruments utilized by Park follows.

Interest Rate Swaps

Park utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position and as a means to meet the financing, interest rate and other risk management needs of qualifying commercial banking customers. The notional amount of the interest rate swaps does not represent the amount exchanged by the parties. The amount exchanged is determined by reference to the notional amount and the other terms of the individual interest rate swap agreements.

Borrowing Derivatives: Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $25.0 million as of June 30, 2019 were designated as cash flow hedges of certain FHLB advances. There were no interest rate swaps of FHLB advances as of December 31, 2018.

Loan Derivatives: In conjunction with the Carolina Alliance acquisition, Park acquired interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of certain commercial loans. These interest rate swaps were simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that Carolina Alliance executed with a third party, such that Carolina Alliance minimized its net interest rate risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These interest rate swaps had a notional amount totaling $38.0 million as of June 30, 2019. There were no interest rate swaps of commercial loans as of December 31, 2018.

All of the Company's interest rate swaps were determined to be fully effective during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. As such, no amount of ineffectiveness has been included in net income. Therefore, the aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other assets and other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedges no longer be considered effective. Park expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining respective terms of the swaps.

Summary information about the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2019 follows:

	June 30, 2019
(In thousands, except weighted average data)	Borrowing Derivatives			Loan Derivatives
Notional amounts	$	25,000		$	37,972

Weighted average receive rates	2.588		%	4.622		%
Weighted average maturity (years)	3.0			10.6
Unrealized losses	$	642		$	—

Interest income recorded on swap transactions totaled $1,000 and $9,000 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019. No interest income or expense related to swap transactions was recorded during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

Commitments to fund mortgage loans (interest rate locks) to be sold into the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of these mortgage loans are accounted for as free standing derivatives. In order to hedge the change in interest rates resulting from its commitments to fund the loans, the Company enters into forward commitments for the future delivery of mortgage loans when interest rate locks are entered into. These mortgage banking derivatives are not designed in hedge relationships. The fair value of the interest rate lock is recorded at the time the commitment to fund the mortgage loan is executed and is adjusted for the expected exercise of the commitment before the loan is funded. Fair values of these mortgage banking derivatives are estimated based on changes in mortgage interest rates from the date the interest on the loan is locked. Changes in the fair values of these derivatives are included in "Other service income" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Park had $22.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of interest rate lock commitments. The fair value of these mortgage banking derivatives was reflected by a derivative asset of $361,000 and $87,000 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Other Derivatives

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 June 30, 2019, the fair value of the swap liability of $226,000 was an estimate of the exposure based upon probability-weighted potential Visa litigation losses.

Note 21 – 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.

51

• 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 (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction 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 in accordance with Park's valuation requirements under its commercial and real estate loan policies.

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during any of the three-month or six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 or 2018. Management’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there are more or fewer unobservable inputs as of the end of the reporting period.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining the 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 (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows (Level 3).

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: Mortgage 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.

Interest rate swap:  The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).

The table below presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 inputs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, 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. Collateral dependent 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 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. 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 independent valuations are obtained annually for all impaired loans in accordance with Company policy.

Other Real Estate Owned: 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.

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

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

• 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.

Other repossessed assets: Other repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired. The carrying value of other repossessed assets 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. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, other repossessed assets primarily consisted of aircraft acquired as part of a loan workout. Fair value is based on Aircraft Bluebook and VREF Aircraft Value Reference values based on the model of aircraft and adjustments for flight hours, features and other variables. Such adjustments result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

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. 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. As of June 30, 2019, there were $0.5 million PCI loans carried at fair value. 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 with respect to the property's value subsequent to the initial measurement.

⁽³⁾ "Miscellaneous" income includes brokerage income, safe deposit box rentals, and miscellaneous bank fees totaling $2.7 million, all of which are within the scope of ASC 606.

A description of Park's revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606 follows:

Income from fiduciary activities (gross): Park earns fiduciary fee income and investment brokerage fees from its contracts with trust customers for various fiduciary and investment-related services. These fees are earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly and quarterly services and are generally assessed based on the market value of the trust assets.

Service charges on deposit accounts and ATM fees: The Corporation earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance, and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as ATM use fees, stop payment charges, statement rendering, and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are generally recognized at the end of the month, representing the period over which the Corporation satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

Other service income: Other service income includes income from (1) the sale and servicing of loans sold to the secondary market, (2) incentive income from third-party credit card issuers, and (3) loan customers for various loan-related activities and services. These fees are generally recognized at a point in time following the completion of a loan sale or related service activity.

64

Debit card fee income: Park earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions conducted primarily through the Visa payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, net of card network fees, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

Gain or loss on sale of OREO, net: The Corporation records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of delivery of an executed deed. When Park finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Corporation assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform the buyer's obligation under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Corporation adjusts the transaction price and related gain (loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

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 our business plan successfully and within the expected timeframe; general economic and financial market conditions, specifically in the real estate markets and the credit markets, either nationally or in the states in which Park and our subsidiaries do business, may experience a slowing or reversal of the recent economic expansion in addition to continuing residual effects of recessionary conditions and an uneven spread of positive impacts of recovery on the economy and our counterparties, resulting in adverse impacts on the demand for loan, deposit and other financial services, delinquencies, defaults and counterparties' inability to meet credit and other obligations and the possible impairment of collectability of loans; changes in interest rates and prices may adversely impact prepayment penalty income, mortgage banking income, the value of securities, loans, deposits and other financial instruments and the interest rate sensitivity of our consolidated balance sheet as well as reduce interest margins and impact loan demand; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits, whether due to tax reform legislation, changes in retail distribution strategies, consumer preferences and behavior, changes in business and economic conditions, legislative and regulatory initiatives, or other factors; changes in unemployment; changes in customers', suppliers', and other counterparties' performance and creditworthiness; the adequacy of our internal controls and risk management program in the event of changes in the market, economic, operational, asset/liability repricing, legal, compliance, strategic, cybersecurity, liquidity, credit and interest rate risks associated with Park's business; disruption in the liquidity and other functioning of U.S. financial markets; our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes to regulations governing bank and bank holding company 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, customer acquisition and retention pressures, changes to third-party relationships and revenues, changes in the manner of providing services, and our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified banking professionals; customers could pursue alternatives to bank deposits, causing us to lose a relatively inexpensive source of funding; uncertainty regarding the nature, timing, cost and effect of changes in banking regulations or other regulatory or legislative requirements affecting the respective businesses of Park and our subsidiaries, including major reform of the regulatory oversight structure of the financial services industry and changes in laws and regulations concerning taxes, pensions, bankruptcy, consumer protection, rent regulation and housing, financial accounting and reporting, environmental protection, insurance, bank products and services, bank capital and liquidity standards, fiduciary standards, securities and other aspects of the financial services industry, specifically the reforms provided for in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and the Basel III regulatory capital reforms, as well as regulations already adopted and which may be adopted in the future by the relevant regulatory agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Reserve Board, to implement the Dodd-Frank Act's provisions, and the Basel III regulatory capital reforms; the effects of easing restrictions on participants in the financial services industry; 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, including the new current expected credit loss rule issued by the FASB in June 2016, which will require banks to record, at the time of origination, credit losses expected throughout the life of the asset portfolio on loans and HTM securities, as opposed to the current practice of recording losses when it is probable that a loss event has occurred, which may adversely affect Park's reported financial condition or results of operations; Park's assumptions and estimates used in applying critical accounting policies, which may prove unreliable, inaccurate or not predictive of actual results; changes in law and policy accompanying the current presidential administration and uncertainty or speculation pending the enactment of such

65

changes; significant changes in the tax laws, which may adversely affect the fair values of net deferred tax assets and obligations of state and political subdivisions held in Park's investment securities portfolio; the impact of our ability to anticipate and respond to technological changes on our ability to respond to customer needs and meet competitive demands; operational issues stemming from and/or capital spending necessitated by the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems on which Park and our subsidiaries are highly dependent; the ability to secure confidential information and deliver products and services through the use of computer systems and telecommunications networks; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors and other service providers, resulting in failures or disruptions in customer account management, general ledger, deposit, loan, or other systems, including as a result of cyber attacks; the existence or exacerbation of general geopolitical instability and uncertainty; the effect of trade policies (including the impact of potential or imposed tariffs, a U.S. withdrawal from or significant renegotiation of trade agreements, trade wars and other changes in trade regulations), monetary and other fiscal policies (including the impact of money supply and interest rate policies to the Federal Reserve Board) and other governmental policies of the U.S. federal government; the impact on financial markets and the economy of any changes in the credit ratings of the U.S. Treasury obligations and other U.S. government - backed debt, as well as issues surrounding the levels of U.S., European and Asian government debt and concerns regarding the creditworthiness of certain sovereign governments, supranationals and financial institutions in Europe and Asia; the uncertainty surrounding the actions to be taken to implement the referendum by United Kingdom voters to exit the European Union; our litigation and regulatory compliance exposure, including the costs and effects of any adverse developments in legal proceedings or other claims and the costs and effects of unfavorable resolution of regulatory and other governmental examinations or other inquiries; continued availability of earnings and excess capital sufficient for the lawful and prudent declaration of dividends; fraud, scams and schemes of third parties; the impact of widespread natural and other disasters, pandemics, dislocations, civil unrest, terrorist activities or international hostilities on the economy and financial markets generally and on us or our counterparties specifically; the effect of healthcare laws in the U.S. and potential changes for such laws which may increase our healthcare and other costs and negatively impact our operations and financial results; Park's ability to integrate recent acquisitions (including CABF) as well as any future acquisitions, which may be unsuccessful, or may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; risk and uncertainties associated with Park's entry into new geographic markets with its recent acquisitions; expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the merger of Park and CABF may not be fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; revenues following the merger of Park and CABF may be lower than expected; customer and employee relationships and business operations may be disrupted by the merger of Park and CABF; Park issued equity securities in the merger transactions with NewDominion Bank and CABF and may issue equity securities in connection with future acquisitions, which could cause ownership and economic dilution to Park's current shareholders; the discontinuation of LIBOR and other reference rates which may result in increased expenses and litigation, and adversely impact the effectiveness of hedging strategies; and other risk factors relating to the banking industry as detailed from time to time in Park's reports filed with the SEC including those described in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of Part I of Park's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Item 2 of this Form 10-Q contains non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures where management believes it to be helpful in understanding Park’s results of operations or financial position. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, can be found herein.

Items Impacting Comparability of Period Results

From time-to-time, revenue, expenses and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results result from merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank loan relationships. In other cases, they may result from managements decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.

Even though certain revenue and expense items are naturally subject to more volatility than others due to changes in market and economic environment conditions, as a general rule volatility alone does not result in the inclusion of an item as one impacting comparability of period results. For example, changes in the provision for credit losses (aside from former Vision Bank loan relationships) and asset valuation writedowns, reflect ordinary banking activities and are, therefore, typically excluded from consideration as items impacting comparability of period results.

66

Management believes the disclosure of items impacting comparability of period results provide a better understanding of our performance and trends to ascertain which of such items, if any, to include or exclude from an analysis of our performance; i.e., within the context of determining how that performance differed from expectations, as well as how, if at all, to adjust estimates of future performance taking such items into account.

Items impacting comparability of the results of particular periods are not intended to be a complete list of items that may materially impact current or future period performance.

FTE (fully taxable equivalent) Ratios

Interest income, yields, and ratios on a FTE basis are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes net interest income on a FTE basis provides an insightful picture of the interest margin for comparison purposes. The FTE basis also allows management to assess the comparability of revenue arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The FTE basis assumes a federal statutory tax rate of 21 percent. In the tables below, Park has provided detail of FTE interest income solely for the purpose of complying with SEC Regulation G and not as an indication that FTE interest income, yields and ratios are substitutes for interest income, yields and ratios, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Park’s 2018 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. 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 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 Loan Losses” section within this MD&A for additional discussion.

Other real estate owned, 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 within other income on the date of sale.

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, Level 2, and Level 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 AFS debt securities. The fair value of these AFS debt 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 debt securities but rather relying on the debt securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted debt securities. Please see Note 21 - 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 also involves a higher degree of judgment than most other significant accounting policies. U.S. GAAP establishes standards for 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, as of June 30, 2019, relates to the value inherent in the banking industry and that value is dependent upon the ability of Park’s national bank subsidiary, The Park National Bank 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

67

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 2019, with financial data as of March 31, 2019, and resulted in no impairment of goodwill. Further, there have been no events subsequent to that analysis that provide any evidence that goodwill is impaired. 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.

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

Significant assumptions used to measure our annual pension expense include:

• the interest rate used to determine the present value of liabilities (discount rate);

• certain employee-related factors, such as turnover, retirement age and mortality;

• the expected return on assets in our funded pension plan; and

• the rate of salary increases where benefits are based on earnings.

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

Net income	$	29,382	$	26,692	$	56,074	$	55,542	$	109,472	$	87,315

Net interest income of $141.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented a $17.1 million, or 13.7%, increase compared to $124.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was a result of a $28.2 million increase in interest income, offset by a $11.1 million increase in interest expense.

The $28.2 million increase in interest income was due to a $28.1 million increase in interest income on loans, along with a $105,000 increase in interest income on investments. The increase in interest income on loans was partially the result of a $717.6 million increase in average loans from $5.27 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018, to $5.99 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Additionally, the yield on loans increased by 38 basis points to 5.12% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 4.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Interest income was also impacted by the acquisition of NewDominion Bank ("NewDominion") on July 1, 2018 and the acquisition of CAB Financial Corporation, the parent of Carolina Alliance Bank on April 1, 2019. The NewDominion and Carolina Alliance Bank Divisions contributed an aggregate of $16.1 million to interest income at PNB during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The $11.1 million increase in interest expense was primarily due to a $11.2 million increase in interest expense on deposits. The increase in interest expense on deposits was partially the result of a $425.4 million increase in average interest-earning deposits from $4.37 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018, to $4.80 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Additionally, the cost of deposits increased by 42 basis points from 0.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 1.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Interest expense was also impacted by the acquisition of NewDominion on July 1, 2018 and the acquisition of Carolina Alliance on April 1, 2019. The NewDominion and Carolina Alliance Bank Divisions contributed an aggregate of $1.9 million to interest expense at PNB during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The provision for loan losses of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented an increase of $2.7 million, compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Refer to the “Credit Metrics and Provision for Loan Losses” section for additional details regarding the level of the provision for loan losses recognized in each period presented above.

Other income of $43.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented an increase of $1.4 million, or 3.3%, compared to $42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The $1.4 million increase was primarily related to a $1.2 million increase in debit card fee income, a $597,000 increase in fiduciary income, a $449,000 increase in operating lease income, a $433,000 increase in income related to partnership investments which is included in gain on equity securities, net, and a decrease of $1.7 million in net losses on the sale of securities, offset by a $1.4 million decrease in net gains on sale of OREO, a $1.0 million decrease in other components of net periodic benefit income, and a $534,000 decrease in service charges on deposit accounts. Other income was also impacted by the acquisition of NewDominion on July 1, 2018 and the acquisition of Carolina Alliance on April 1, 2019. The NewDominion and Carolina Alliance Bank Divisions contributed an aggregate of $1.7 million to other income at PNB during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

70

Other expense of $112.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented an increase of $14.8 million, or 15.2%, compared to $97.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The $14.8 million increase was related to a $5.6 million increase in salary expense, a $2.9 million increase in employee benefits expense, primarily related to increased group insurance costs, payroll taxes and an increase in the company match in Park's defined contribution plan, a $1.3 million increase in data processing expense, a $1.4 million increase in professional fees and services expense, a $991,000 increase in core deposit intangible amortization expense, a $718,000 increase in occupancy expense, a $446,000 increase in operating lease depreciation, a $393,000 increase in equipment expense, and a $312,000 increase in other non loan related losses. Other expense was also impacted by the acquisition of NewDominion on July 1, 2018 and the acquisition of Carolina Alliance on April 1, 2019. The NewDominion and Carolina Alliance Bank Divisions added $4.5 million and $5.9 million, respectively, to other expense at PNB during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Cost savings related to the Carolina Alliance acquisition are expected to be fully realized following the fourth quarter of 2019 conversion of Carolina Alliance's core banking system.

The net interest (expense) income for All Other included, for all periods presented, interest income on subordinated debt investments in PNB, which were eliminated in the consolidated Park National Corporation totals, as well as interest income on SEPH impaired loan relationships.

Net interest (expense) income decreased to net expense of $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from net income of$2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was the result of a decrease in interest payments received from SEPH impaired loan relationships.

SEPH had net recoveries of $141,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net recoveries of $500,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Other income of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented a decrease of $6.7 million, compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The $6.7 million decrease was largely due to a $3.6 million decrease in income related to equity securities, a $2.9 million decrease in gain on sale of OREO, net, and a $1.1 million decrease in loan fee income as a result of a reduction in payments received from SEPH impaired loan relationships, offset by a $606,000 increase in income related to partnership investments which is included in gain on equity securities, net.

Other expense of $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented an increase of $5.2 million, or 64.7%, compared to $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The $5.2 million increase was primarily related to an increase of $2.8 million in salary expense, and a $2.3 million increase in professional fees and services (both increases primarily related to merger related expenses).

Credit Metrics and Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount added to the allowance for loan and lease losses to ensure the allowance is sufficient to absorb probable, incurred credit losses. The amount of the provision for loan losses is determined by management after reviewing the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, historic and current loan loss experience and current economic conditions.

The table below provides additional information on the provision for loan losses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Loans acquired as part of the acquisitions of NewDominion and Carolina Alliance were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. An allowance is only established on these loans as a result of credit deterioration post acquisition. As of June 30, 2019, there was an allowance of $3,000 related to acquired loans.

SEPH, as a non-bank subsidiary of Park, does not carry an ALLL balance, but recognizes a provision for loan losses when a charge-off is taken and recognizes a recovery of loan losses when a recovery is received.

The following table provides additional information related to the allowance for loan losses for Park including information related to specific reserves and general reserves, at June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018.

The allowance for loan losses of $54.0 million at June 30, 2019 represented a $2.5 million, or 4.8%, increase compared to $51.5 million at December 31, 2018. This increase was the result of a $2.4 million increase in general reserves and a $106,000 increase in specific reserves. As of June 30, 2019, there was an allowance of $3,000 related to acquired loans.

Generally, management obtains updated valuations for all nonperforming loans 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.

Nonperforming Assets: Nonperforming assets include: (1) loans whose interest is accounted for on a nonaccrual basis; (2) TDRs on accrual status; (3) loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments but whose interest continues to accrue; (4) OREO which results from taking possession of property that served as collateral for a defaulted loan; and (5) other nonperforming assets. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, other nonperforming assets consisted of aircraft acquired as part of a loan workout.

The following table compares Park’s nonperforming assets at June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018.

Included in the nonaccrual loan totals above is $1.6 million of SEPH nonaccrual loans at each of June 30, 2019, December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Included in the OREO totals above is $797,000 of SEPH OREO at June 30, 2019, $1.5 million at December 31, 2018 and $2.4 million at June 30, 2018.

Impaired Loans:  Park’s allowance for loan losses includes an allocation for loans specifically identified as impaired under GAAP. At June 30, 2019, loans considered to be impaired consisted substantially of commercial loans graded as "substandard" or “doubtful” and placed on non-accrual status.  Specific reserves on impaired commercial loans are typically based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of collateral securing these loans. The amount ultimately charged off for these loans may be different from the specific reserve as the ultimate liquidation of the collateral may be for an amount different from management’s estimate.

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 that are pass-rated (graded an 1 through a 4) 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 a 6 (substandard), also considered to be 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. Commercial loans that are graded a 7 (doubtful) are shown as nonperforming and Park charges these loans down to their fair value by taking a partial charge-off or recording a specific reserve. Certain 6-rated loans and all 7-rated loans are included within the impaired category. A loan is deemed impaired when management determines that 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.

As of June 30, 2019, Park had taken partial charge-offs of $6.1 million related to the $50.2 million of commercial loans considered to be impaired, compared to partial charge-offs of $11.2 million related to the $48.1 million of impaired commercial loans at December 31, 2018.

Loans Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality: In conjunction with the NewDominion acquisition, Park acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality with a book value of $5.1 million which were recorded at the initial fair value of $4.9 million. In conjunction with the Carolina Alliance acquisition, Park acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality with a book value of $21.8 million which were recorded at the initial fair value of $19.9 million. The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at June 30, 2019 was $23.9 million, of which $888,000 was considered impaired due to additional credit deterioration or modification post acquisition. The remaining $23.0 million are not included in impaired loan totals. The carrying amount of loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at December 31, 2018 was $4.4 million, of which $475,000 was considered impaired due to additional credit deterioration or modification post acquisition. The remaining $3.9 million are not included in impaired loan totals.

Allowance for loan losses: Loss factors are reviewed quarterly and updated at least annually to reflect recent loan loss history and incorporate current risks and trends which may not be recognized in historical data. The historical loss factors were last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018 to incorporate losses through December 31, 2018.

Excluding acquired loans, the allowance for loan losses related to performing commercial loans was $34.7 million, or 1.20% of the outstanding principal balance of performing commercial loans at June 30, 2019. Excluding acquired loans, at June 30, 2019, the coverage level within the commercial loan portfolio was approximately 3.40 years compared to 3.39 years at December 31, 2018. Historical loss experience, defined as charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves, over the 108-month period ended December 31, 2018, for the commercial loan portfolio was 0.35%. This 108-month loss experience includes only the performance of the PNB loan portfolio and excludes the impact of PNB participations in Vision loans.

Excluding acquired loans, the overall reserve of 1.20% for other accruing commercial loans breaks down as follows: pass-rated commercial loans are reserved at 1.17%; special mention commercial loans are reserved at 5.16%; and substandard commercial loans are reserved at 9.66%. The reserve levels for pass-rated, special mention and substandard commercial loans in excess of the 108-month loss experience of 0.35% are due to the following factors which management reviews on a quarterly or annual basis:

• Historical Loss Factor: Management updated the historical loss calculation during the fourth quarter of 2018, incorporating net charge-offs plus changes in specific reserves through December 31, 2018. With the addition of 2018 historical losses, management extended the historical loss period to 108 months from 96 months. The 108-month historical loss period captures all annual periods subsequent to June 2009, the end of the most recent recession, thus encompassing the full economic cycle to date.

• Loss Emergence Period Factor: At least annually, management calculates the loss emergence period for each commercial loan segment. The loss emergence period is calculated based upon the average period of time it takes from the probable occurrence of a loss event to the credit being moved 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. The loss emergence period was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018.

• 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 period of time a loan takes to migrate from pass-rated to impaired. The loss migration factor was last updated in the fourth quarter of 2018.

• Environmental Loss Factor: Management has identified certain macroeconomic factors that trend in accordance with losses in Park’s commercial loan portfolio. These macroeconomic factors are reviewed quarterly and the adjustments made to the environmental loss factor impacting each segment in the performing commercial loan portfolio correlate to changes in the macroeconomic environment. No change was made to the environmental loss factor during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Generally, consumer loans are not individually graded. Consumer loans include: (1) mortgage and installment loans included in the construction real estate segment of the loan portfolio; (2) mortgage, home equity lines of credit ("HELOC"), and installment loans included in the residential real estate segment of the loan portfolio; and (3) all loans included in the consumer segment of the loan portfolio. The amount of loan loss reserve assigned to these loans is based on historical loss experience over the past 108 months, through December 31, 2018. 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

82

additional reserves (e.g., increased loan delinquencies, improving or deteriorating economic conditions, changes in lending management and changes in underwriting standards). Excluding acquired loans, at June 30, 2019, the coverage level within the consumer loan portfolio was approximately 1.88 years compared to 1.87 years at December 31, 2018. Historical loss experience, over the 108-month period ended December 31, 2018, for the consumer loan portfolio was 0.33%.

Loans acquired as part of the acquisitions of NewDominion and Carolina Alliance were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition.  An allowance is only established on these NewDominion and Carolina Alliance loans as a result of credit deterioration post acquisition.  As of June 30, 2019, there was an allowance of $3,000 related to acquired loans.

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 qualitative factors include: global, 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. Actual loss experience may be more or less than the amount allocated.

Other Income

Other income decreased by $434,000 to $22.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to $23.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and decreased $5.3 million to $44.8 million for the first half of 2019, compared to $50.1 million for the first half of 2018. The decrease for the first half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2018 was primarily due to declines in (Loss) gain on the sale of OREO, net, Gain on equity securities, net and Other components of net periodic pension benefit income, partially offset by increases within Debit card fee income, and a reduction in Net loss on the sale of investment securities.

Income from fiduciary activities, which represents revenue earned from Park's trust activities, increased by $269,000, or 4.0%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2018, and increased by $597,000, or 4.6%, to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 2018. Fiduciary fees charged are generally based on the market value of customer accounts. The average market value for assets under management for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $5,694 million compared to $5,417 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Service charges on deposits decreased by $171,000, or 6.1%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2018, and decreased by $534,000, or 9.3%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to June 30, 2018. The decline was largely as a result of a decline in non-sufficient funds (NSF) fee income and service charges on demand deposit accounts.

Other service income increased by $568,000, or 16.4%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $3.5 million for the same period of 2018, and decreased $786,000, or 10.3%, to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2018. The primary reason for the increase for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is an increase in sold mortgage loan originations. The primary reason for the decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was the recovery of $1.0 million in fees from certain SEPH impaired relationships during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Debit card fee income increased $845,000, or 19.3%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $4.4 million for the same period in 2018 and increased $1.2 million, or 14.5%, to $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $8.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increases in 2019 were attributable to continued increases in the volume of debit card transactions. The number of transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 7.2% from the same period in 2018.

(Loss) gain on sale of OREO, net, decreased $4.3 million, or 104.1%, to a net loss of $171,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a net gain of $4.2 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2019 relative to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to a $4.1 million gain on the sale of one OREO property during the first six months of 2018, which was partially participated to PNB from SEPH.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, investment securities with a book value of $57.1 million were sold at a net loss of $607,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, investment securities with a book value of $254.3 million were sold at a net loss of $2.3 million. There were no securities sold during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Unrealized gain on equity securities decreased $1.1 million, or 82.8%, to $232,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2018, and decreased $2.6 million, or 56.6%, to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2018. The $2.6 million decrease was primarily related to a $3.5 million unrealized gain on equity securities for the six months ended June 30, 2018, related to Park’s investment in NewDominion prior to the acquisition of the remaining 91.45% in the merger completed on July 1, 2018, as well as a decrease in the unrealized gain in equity securities held at NAV for three months ended June 30, 2019.

Other components of net periodic benefit income decreased by $522,000, or 30.6%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2018, and decreased $1.0 million, or 30.6%, to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $3.4 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease was largely due to a decrease in the expected return on plan assets.

The increase for the three months was due to a $2.8 million increase in additional incentive compensation expense, mostly related to one-time merger expenses, and a $4.7 million increase in salary expense, of which $3.0 million was related to the addition of employees of both the NewDominion and Carolina Alliance Bank Divisions, as well as a $265,000 increase in share-based compensation expense related to PBRSU awards granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan (prior to 2017) and both PBRSU and TBRSU awards granted under the 2017 Employee LTIP.

The increase for the six months was due to a $1.7 million increase in additional compensation incentive expense, mostly related to $2.6 million of one-time merger expenses, offset by a $1.1 million decrease in additional incentive compensation expense that was due to a one-time incentive paid out to certain associates of Park in March 2018, and a $5.9 million increase in salary expense, of which $3.8 million is related to the addition of both NewDominion and Carolina Alliance Divisions, as well as a $501,000 increase in share-based compensation expense related to PBRSU awards granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan (prior to 2017) and both PBRSU and RSU awards granted under the 2017 Employee LTIP.

85

Data processing fees increased $1.0 million, or 52.7%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.9 million for the same period in 2018, and increased $1.3 million, or 37.1%, to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2018.

Professional fees and services increased $4.0 million, or 65.0%, to $10.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2018, and increased $3.8 million, or 30.9%, to $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $12.3 million for the same period in 2018. The $4.0 million increase for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily related to a $3.0 million increase in one-time merger related costs, and a $395,000 increase related to the addition of both the NewDominion and Carolina Alliance Bank Divisions.

Amortization of intangible assets was $702,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and was $991,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. There was no amortization of intangible assets for either of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The amortization of intangible assets was due to the core deposit intangibles from the acquisitions of both NewDominion and Carolina Alliance.

The subcategory "Miscellaneous" other expense includes expenses for supplies, travel, charitable contributions, and other miscellaneous expense. The subcategory miscellaneous other expense increased $833,000, or 50.0%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2018, and increased $1.2 million, or 33.7%, to $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2018. The $833,000 increase for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was related to a $457,000 increase in operating lease depreciation, a $187,000 increase in fraud losses and a $139,000 increase in training and travel related expenses. The $1.2 million increase for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was related to a $446,000 increase in operating lease depreciation, a $312,000 increase in fraud losses, a $135,000 increase in training and travel related expenses and a $222,000 benefit due to a reduction in repurchase reserves during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a benefit of $33,000 due to a reduction in repurchase reserves during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Items Impacting Comparability

From time-to-time, revenue, expenses, and/or taxes are impacted by items judged by management of Park to be outside of ordinary banking activities and/or by items that, while they may be associated with ordinary banking activities, are so unusually large that their outsized impact is believed by management of Park at that time to be infrequent or short-term in nature. Most often, these items impacting comparability of period results result from merger and acquisition activities and revenue and expenses related to former Vision Bank relationships. In other cases, they may result from management's decisions associated with significant corporate actions outside of the ordinary course of business.

Income Tax

Income tax expense was $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2018. The effective income tax rate for the second quarter was 16.5%, compared to 17.1% for the same period in 2018. Income tax expense was $9.4 million for the first half of 2019, compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2018. The effective income tax rate was 16.5% for the first half of 2019, compared to 16.7% for the same period in 2018. The difference between the statutory federal corporate income tax rate of 21% and Park's effective tax rate reflects permanent tax differences, primarily consisting of tax-exempt interest income from municipal investments and loans, qualified affordable housing and historical tax credits, bank owned life insurance income, and dividends paid on the common shares held within Park's salary deferral plan, as well as accelerated depreciation in 2018. Park expects permanent federal tax differences for the 2019 year will be approximately $5.9 million.

Comparison of Financial Condition

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018

Changes in Financial Condition

Total assets increased by $853.1 million, or 10.9%, during the first six months of 2019 to $8,657 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $7,804 million at December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to the following:

• Loans increased by $684.6 million, or 12.0%, of which $576.0 million was due to the acquisition of Carolina Alliance, to $6,377 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $5,692 million at December 31, 2018.

• Cash and cash equivalents increased by $92.3 million, or 55.2%, to $259.5 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $167.2 million at December 31, 2018. Money market instruments were $98.9 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $25.3 million at December 31, 2018 and Cash and due from banks were $160.6 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $141.9 million at December 31, 2018.

• Goodwill increased by $45.3 million, or 40.2%, to $158.1 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $112.7 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was due to the acquisition of Carolina Alliance.

• Other intangible assets increased by $9.3 million, to $16.2 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $7.0 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was due to the acquisition of Carolina Alliance.

• Investment securities decreased $31.6 million, or 2.2%, to $1,397 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $1,428 million at December 31, 2018.

Total liabilities increased by $751.2 million, or 10.8%, during the first six months of 2019 to $7,723 million at June 30, 2019, from $6,972 million at December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to the following:

• Total deposits increased by $771.3 million, or 12.3%, of which $609.1 million was due to the acquisition of Carolina Alliance, to $7,032 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $6,261 million at December 31, 2018.

• Operating lease liabilities were $15.6 million at June 30, 2019, compared to no operating lease liabilities at December 31, 2018.

• Short-term borrowings decreased by $41.4 million, or 18.6%, to $180.6 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $222.0 million at December 31, 2018.

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $101.9 million, or 12.2%, to $934.4 million at June 30, 2019, from $832.5 million at December 31, 2018.

• Retained earnings increased by $11.3 million during the period as a result of net income of $47.6 million, offset by common share dividends of $36.0 million.

• Treasury shares increased by $31.0 million during the period as a result of the repurchase of treasury shares, offset by the issuance of treasury shares.

• Common shares increased by $98.3 million during the period as a result of the issuance of common shares in connection with the acquisition of Carolina Alliance.

• Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes increased by $23.5 million during the period as a result of unrealized net holding gains on AFS debt securities, net of taxes, of $23.5 million, and a loss on sale of AFS debt securities, net of taxes, of $480,000, partially offset by an unrealized loss on cash flow hedging derivatives, net of taxes, of $507,000.

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.

Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities was $46.2 million and $60.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net income was the primary source of cash from operating activities for each six-month period.

Cash provided by investing activities was $47.2 million and $32.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Proceeds from the sale, repayment, or maturity of investment securities provide cash and purchases of investment securities use cash. Net investment securities transactions provided cash of $160.2 million for the six months ended June 30,

88

2019 and used cash of $29.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Another major use or source of cash in investing activities is the net increase or decrease in the loan portfolio. Cash used by the net increase in the loan portfolio was $98.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and cash provided by the net decrease in the loan portfolio was $53.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Cash used in financing activities was $1.1 million and $115.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. A major source of cash for financing activities is the net change in deposits. Deposits increased and provided $138.8 million and $198.5 million of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Another major source/use of cash from financing activities is borrowings in the form of short-term borrowings and long-term debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net short-term borrowings decreased and used $70.2 million in cash. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, net short-term borrowings decreased and used $175.2 million in cash, and net long-term borrowings decreased and used $100.0 million in cash. Finally, cash declined by $36.0 million and $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from the payment of dividends.

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, FHLB borrowings, the capability to securitize or package loans for sale, and a $15.0 million revolving line of credit with another financial institution, which had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2019. The Corporation’s loan to asset ratio was 73.03% at June 30, 2019, compared to 72.94% at December 31, 2018 and 71.36% at June 30, 2018. Cash and cash equivalents were $259.5 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $167.2 million at December 31, 2018 and $146.2 million at June 30, 2018. Management believes that the present funding sources provide more than adequate liquidity for the Corporation to meet its cash flow needs.

Capital Resources

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2019 was $934.4 million, or 10.8% of total assets, compared to $832.5 million, or 10.7% of total assets, at December 31, 2018 and $755.1 million, or 10.1% of total assets, at June 30, 2018.

Financial institution regulators have established guidelines for minimum capital ratios for banks, thrifts and bank holding companies. Park has elected not to include the net unrealized gain or loss on AFS debt securities in computing regulatory capital. During the first quarter of 2015, Park adopted the Basel III regulatory capital framework as approved by the federal banking agencies. The adoption of this framework modified the calculation of the various capital ratios, added an additional ratio, common equity tier 1, and revised the adequately and well capitalized thresholds under the prompt corrective action regulations applicable to PNB. Additionally, under this framework, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and repurchases of common shares, Park must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer was phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to being fully phased in at 2.50% at January 1, 2019. The amounts shown below as the adequately capitalized ratio plus capital conservation buffer includes the fully phased-in 2.50% buffer. The Federal Reserve Board has also adopted requirements Park must satisfy to be deemed "well capitalized" and to remain a financial holding company.

Park and PNB met each of the well capitalized ratio guidelines applicable to them at June 30, 2019. The following table indicates the capital ratios for PNB and Park at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

	As of June 30, 2019
	Leverage		Tier 1 Risk-Based		Common Equity Tier 1		Total Risk-Based
The Park National Bank	8.66	%	11.15	%	11.15	%	12.33	%
Park National Corporation	9.48	%	12.19	%	11.96	%	13.02	%
Adequately capitalized ratio	4.00	%	6.00	%	4.50	%	8.00	%
Adequately capitalized ratio plus capital conservation buffer	4.00	%	8.50	%	7.00	%	10.50	%
Well capitalized ratio (PNB)	5.00	%	8.00	%	6.50	%	10.00	%
Well capitalized ratio (Park)	N/A		6.00	%	N/A		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 45 of Park’s 2018 Annual Report (Table 37) for disclosure concerning contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2018. There were no significant changes in contractual obligations and commitments during the first six months of 2019.

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. PNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Since many of the loan commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.

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

(In thousands)	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Loan commitments	$	1,284,434	$	1,012,820
Standby letters of credit	$	19,718	$	13,334

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Management reviews interest rate sensitivity on a 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 page 45 of Park’s 2018 Annual Report.

On page 45 (Table 36) of Park’s 2018 Annual Report, management reported that Park’s twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $308.2 million or 4.31% of total interest earning assets at December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019, Park’s twelve-month cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a positive (assets exceeding liabilities) $550.5 million or 7.00% of total interest earning assets.

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 45 of Park’s 2018 Annual Report, management reported that at December 31, 2018, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would decrease by 0.4% using a rising interest rate scenario and decrease by 3.1% using a declining interest rate scenario over the next year. At June 30, 2019, the earnings simulation model projected that net income would decrease by 2.0% using a rising interest rate scenario and would increase by 0.1% in a declining interest rate scenario. At June 30, 2019, 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 Chief Executive Officer (the principal executive officer) and the Chief Financial Officer, Secretary 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 Chief Executive Officer and Park’s Chief Financial Officer, Secretary 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 quarter ended June 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Park’s internal control over financial reporting.

91

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 subsidiaries are parties to incidental to their respective businesses. 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, 2018 (the “2018 Form 10-K”), we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. 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 in the 2018 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.

At the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 24, 2017, Park's shareholders approved the 2017 Employees LTIP and the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP. The common shares to be issued and delivered under the 2017 Employees LTIP and the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP 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 2017 Employees LTIP or the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP. On April 24, 2017, Park's Board of Directors authorized the purchase, from time to time, of up to 750,000 common shares and 150,000 common shares, respectively, to be held as treasury shares for subsequent issuance and delivery under the 2017 Employees LTIP and the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP.

On January 23, 2017, the Park Board of Directors authorized Park to purchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of 500,000 Common Shares. On January 28, 2019, the Park Board of Directors authorized Park to repurchase, from time to time following receipt of any required approval from the Federal Reserve, up to 500,000 Park common shares in addition to the 500,000 Park common shares which had been authorized for repurchase by the Park Board of Directors on January 23, 2017 and remained available for repurchase as of December 31, 2018 and January 28, 2019. The required approval was received by Park in the form of correspondence from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland dated April 19, 2019.

Purchases may be made through NYSE AMERICAN, in the over-the-counter market or in privately negotiated transactions, in each case in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the rules applicable to issuers having securities listed on NYSE AMERICAN. Purchases will be made upon such terms and conditions and at such times and in such amounts as any one or more of the authorized officers of Park deem to be appropriate, subject to market conditions, regulatory requirements and other factors, and in the best interest of Park and Park's shareholders. The January 23, 2017 stock repurchase authorization and the January 28, 2019 stock repurchase authorization are distinct from the stock repurchase authorizations to fund the 2017 Employees LTIP and the 2017 Non-Employee Directors LTIP.
