Words such as “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “plans”, “projects”, variations of such words, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward- looking statements. Management judgments relating to, and discussion of the provision and allowance for credit losses involve judgments as to future events and are inherently forward-looking statements.

Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Internal and external factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships, inflation, demand for products and services, the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors, changes in banking regulations, tax laws, prices, levies, and assessments, the impact of technological advances, and trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans. There may also be difficulties and delays in integrating CoBiz Financial Inc.'s business or fully realizing cost savings and other benefits including, but not limited to, business disruption and customer acceptance of BOK Financial Corporation's products and services. For a discussion of risk factors that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to BOK Financial Corporation’s most recent annual and quarterly reports.

Forecast and Assumptions • Mid single digit loan growth with continued strength in Energy, Healthcare and General C&I. • Provision levels moving forward will be influenced by loan growth, but are expected to be at similar dollar levels to the past couple of quarters. • Interest rate decreases forecasted by the market will continue to put downward pressure on net interest margin. • Revenue from fee-generating businesses, particularly Brokerage & Trading and Mortgage, could continue to benefit from lower interest rates. • Will attempt to maintain an efficiency ratio at or below 60%, as long as the environment remains favorable for revenue. • Capital strategy will support organic balance sheet growth and modest opportunistic share repurchases. Capital ratios are expected to improve over time. • Blended federal and state effective tax rate of 22-23% going forward. • CECL implementation on schedule. • Little impact to core allowance for loan losses. • Will be required to add an allowance for approximately $2.5 billion of acquired loans from CoBiz. • Additional allowance will be required on approximately $3.3 billion of government guaranteed, residential mortgage loans for exposure outside of the guarantee. 10
