                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

ITEM 502(b).  Departure of Directors.

In a letter to Mr. George Kaiser, Chairman of BOK Financial Corporation
("BOKF"), dated February 9, 2005, Mr. Luke Corbett, a current director of BOKF,
respectfully declined his nomination to be elected as a director at the BOKF
2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Corbett indicated that with the advent
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related rulemaking, the time commitment required
of outside directors of public companies has increased significantly. Further,
various governance advocates had expressed concerns about current CEO's serving
on more than two outside boards and have advised that they intend to vote
against CEO's that do so. In light of Mr. Corbett's continuing responsibilities
as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kerr-McGee Corporation and his duties
as a director of two other publicly held companies, Mr. Corbett elected not to
stand for election to BOKF's board of directors.
