NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of PrivateBancorp, Inc. ("PrivateBancorp" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year or any other period.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, we have considered the impact of events occurring subsequent to June 30, 2013 for potential recognition or disclosure.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities – On January 1, 2013, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") relating to disclosure requirements on offsetting financial assets and liabilities. The new disclosure requirements are limited to recognized derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset on the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangements or similar agreements. At a minimum, we are required to disclose the following information separately for financial assets and liabilities: (a) the gross amounts of recognized financial assets and liabilities, (b) the amounts offset under current U.S. GAAP, (c) the net amounts presented in the balance sheet, (d) the amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement that were not included in (b), and (e) the difference between (c) and (d). As this guidance affected only our disclosures, the adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 14 for the disclosure requirements.

Subsequent Accounting for Indemnification Assets Recognized in a Government-Assisted Acquisition – On January 1, 2013, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the FASB to clarify the subsequent accounting for an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution that included a loss sharing agreement. The guidance clarifies that subsequent changes in expected cash flows related to an indemnification asset should be amortized over the shorter of the life of the indemnification agreement or the life of the underlying covered assets. This guidance is applicable for new indemnification assets as well as existing indemnification assets, such as our indemnification receivable recorded in conjunction with the acquired loans and foreclosed loan collateral covered under our loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. As we previously accounted for our indemnification asset in accordance with this guidance, the adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or consolidated results of operations.

Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income – On January 1, 2013, we adopted new accounting guidance issued by the FASB that requires disclosure of the effect of reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income into net income for each affected net income line item. We have two items that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into net income to which this guidance is applicable, namely (1) net gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, and (2) net gains (losses) on cash flow hedges. The guidance did not change existing requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. As this guidance affected only our disclosures, the adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 11 for the disclosure requirements.

There were $2.7 million of securities with $44,000 in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months at June 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012, there were $3.3 million of securities with $27,000 in an unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. These unrealized losses were caused primarily by changes in interest rates and spreads, and not credit quality. We do not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity. Accordingly, no other-than-temporarily impairments were recorded on these securities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 or during 2012.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans consist of nonaccrual loans (which include nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs")) and loans classified as accruing TDRs. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes that either it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or it has been classified as a TDR. The following two tables present information on impaired loans outstanding by product segment, including our recorded investment in impaired loans, which represents the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred loan fees and costs, and any direct principal charge-offs.

Credit Quality Indicators

We have adopted an internal risk rating policy in which each loan is rated for credit quality with a numerical rating of 1 through 8. Loans rated 5 and better (1-5 ratings, inclusive) are credits that exhibit acceptable financial performance, cash flow, and leverage.

15


We attempt to mitigate risk by structure, collateral, monitoring, and other meaningful controls. Credits rated 6 are performing in accordance with contractual terms but are considered "special mention" as these credits demonstrate potential weakness that if left unresolved, may result in deterioration in the Company’s credit position and/or the repayment prospects for the credit. Borrowers rated special mention may exhibit adverse operating trends, high leverage, tight liquidity or other credit concerns. Loans rated 7 may be classified as either accruing ("potential problem") or nonaccrual ("nonperforming"). Potential problem loans, like special mention, are loans that are performing in accordance with contractual terms, but for which management has some level of concern (greater than that of special mention loans) about the ability of the borrowers to meet existing repayment terms in future periods. These loans continue to accrue interest but the ultimate collection of these loans in full is questionable due to the same conditions that characterize a 6-rated credit. These credits may also have somewhat increased risk profiles as a result of the current net worth and/or paying capacity of the obligor or guarantors or the value of the collateral pledged. These loans generally have a well-defined weakness that may jeopardize collection of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not resolved. Although these loans are generally identified as potential problem loans and require additional attention by management, they may never become nonperforming. Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans risk rated 7 or 8 and have all the weaknesses inherent in a 7-rated potential problem loan 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. Special mention, potential problem and nonperforming loans are reviewed at a minimum on a quarterly basis, while all other rated credits over a certain dollar threshold, depending on loan type, are reviewed annually or more frequently as the situation warrants.

At the time an accruing loan becomes modified and meets the definition of a TDR, it is considered impaired and no longer included as part of the general loan loss reserve calculation. However, our general reserve methodology considers the amount and product type of the TDRs removed as one of many credit or portfolio considerations in establishing final reserve requirements.

As impaired loans, TDRs (both accruing and nonaccruing) are evaluated for impairment at the end of each quarter with a specific valuation reserve created, or adjusted (either individually or as part of a pool), if necessary, as a component of the allowance for loan losses. Refer to the "Impaired Loan" and "Allowance for Loan Loss" sections of Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding our policy for assessing potential impairment on such loans. Our allowance for loan losses included $9.3 million and $23.3 million in specific reserves for nonaccrual TDRs at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. For accruing TDRs, there were specific reserves of $39,000 and $40,000 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, with the specific reserve representing the difference between the present value of cash flows for the restructured loan as compared to the original loan.

The following table presents the recorded investment and number of loans modified as an accruing TDR during the previous 12 months which subsequently became nonperforming during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. A loan becomes nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status typically when the principal or interest payments are 90 days past due based on contractual terms or when an individual analysis of a borrower’s creditworthiness indicates a loan should be placed on nonaccrual status earlier than when the loan becomes 90 days past due.

(1) 
Excludes purchased impaired loans which are accounted for on a pool basis based on common risk characteristics as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. Because we are recognizing interest income on each pool of loans, all purchased impaired loans are considered to be performing.

At the date of purchase, all purchased loans and the related indemnification asset were recorded at fair value. On an ongoing basis, the accounting for purchased loans and the related indemnification asset follows applicable authoritative accounting guidance for purchased nonimpaired loans and purchased impaired loans. The amounts we ultimately realize on these loans and the related indemnification asset could differ materially from the carrying value reflected in these financial statements, based upon the timing and amount of collections on the acquired loans in future periods compared to what is assumed in our current assessment of estimated cash flows. Our losses on loans and foreclosed real estate may be mitigated to the extent covered under the specific terms and provisions of our loss share agreement with the FDIC. The loss share agreement expires on September 30, 2014 for non-residential mortgage loans and September 30, 2019 for residential mortgage loans.

The allowance for covered loan losses is determined in a manner consistent with our policy for the originated loan portfolio.

Goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is subject to impairment tests at least on an annual basis or more often if events or circumstances occur that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. Our annual goodwill test was performed as of October 31, 2012, and it was determined that no impairment existed as of that date. There were no impairment charges for goodwill recorded in 2012. We are not aware of any events or circumstances subsequent to our annual goodwill impairment testing date of October 31, 2012 that would indicate impairment of goodwill at June 30, 2013.

Goodwill decreased by $25,000 during the first six months of 2013 due to an adjustment for tax benefits associated with the goodwill attributable to Lodestar Investment Counsel, LLC ("Lodestar"), an investment management firm and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

We have other intangible assets capitalized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in the form of core deposit premiums and client relationships. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from 8 to 15 years.


27


We review intangible assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. During second quarter 2013, there were no events or circumstances to indicate there may be impairment of intangible assets, and no impairment charges for other intangible assets were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Our total availability of overnight fed fund borrowings is not a committed line of credit and is dependent upon lender availability.
(2) 
Includes federal term auction facilities. Our borrowing capacity changes each quarter subject to available collateral and FRB discount factors.

As a member of the FHLB Chicago, we have access to a borrowing capacity of $744.0 million at June 30, 2013, of which $443.7 million is available subject to the availability of acceptable collateral to pledge. Qualifying residential, multi-family and commercial real estate loans, home equity lines of credit, and residential mortgage-backed securities are held as collateral towards current outstanding advances and additional borrowing availability. FHLB advances reported as short-term borrowings represent advances with a remaining maturity of one year or less and at June 30, 2013.

Also included in short-term and secured borrowings on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition are amounts related to certain loan participation agreements on loans we originated that were classified as secured borrowings as they did not qualify for sale accounting treatment. As of June 30, 2013, these loan participation agreements totaled $8.7 million. A corresponding amount was recorded within loans on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

The $244.8 million in junior subordinated debentures reflected in the table above were issued to four separate wholly-owned trusts for the purpose of issuing Company-obligated mandatorily redeemable trust preferred securities. Refer to Note 10 for further information on the nature and terms of these and previously issued debentures.

FHLB long-term advances have fixed interest rates and were secured by residential mortgage-backed securities.

The subordinated debt facility of the Company’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the "Bank"), may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity without penalty and is subordinate to any future senior indebtedness.

We reclassify long-term debt to short-term borrowings when the remaining maturity becomes less than one year.

10. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEFERRABLE INTEREST DEBENTURES HELD BY TRUSTS THAT ISSUED GUARANTEED CAPITAL DEBT SECURITIES

As of June 30, 2013, we sponsored and wholly owned 100% of the common equity of four trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing Company obligated mandatorily redeemable trust preferred securities ("Trust Preferred Securities") to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities solely in a series of junior subordinated debentures of the Company ("Debentures"). The Debentures held by the trusts, which in aggregate total $244.8 million, are the sole assets of each respective trust. Our obligations under the Debentures and related documents, including the indentures, the declarations of trust and related Company guarantees, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company on a subordinated basis of distributions, and redemption payments and liquidation payments on the Trust Preferred Securities. We currently have the right to redeem, in whole or in part, subject to any required regulatory approval, all or any series of the Debentures, in each case, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures being redeemed plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. The repayment, redemption or repurchase of the Debentures would be subject to the terms of the applicable indenture and would result in a corresponding repayment, redemption or repurchase of the related series of Trust Preferred Securities. Any redemption of the Debentures held by PrivateBancorp Statutory Trust IV (the "Series IV Debentures"), would be subject to the terms of the replacement capital covenant described below and any required regulatory approval.

In connection with the issuance in 2008 of the Series IV Debentures, which rank junior to the other Debentures, we entered into a replacement capital covenant that relates to redemption of the Series IV Debentures and the related Trust Preferred Securities. Under the replacement capital covenant, as amended in October 2012, we committed, for the benefit of certain debt holders, that we would not repay, redeem or repurchase the Series IV Debentures or the related Trust Preferred Securities prior to June 2048 unless we have (1) obtained any required regulatory approval, and (2) raised certain amounts of qualifying equity or equity-like replacement capital at any time after October 10, 2012. The replacement capital covenant benefits holders of our "covered debt" as specified under the terms of the replacement capital covenant. Currently, under the replacement capital covenant, the "covered debt" is the Debentures held by PrivateBancorp Statutory Trust II. In the event that the Company's 7.125% subordinated debentures due 2042 are designated as or become the covered debt under the replacement capital covenant, the terms of such debentures provide that the Company is authorized to terminate the replacement capital covenant without any further action or payment. We may amend or terminate the replacement capital covenant in certain circumstances without the consent of the holders of the covered debt.

Under current accounting rules, the trusts qualify as variable interest entities for which we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore are ineligible for consolidation in our financial statements. The Debentures issued by us to the trusts are included in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as "long-term debt" with the corresponding interest distributions recorded as interest expense. The common shares issued by the trusts are included in other assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition with the related dividend distributions recorded in other non-interest income.

(1) 
The trust preferred securities accrue distributions at a rate equal to the interest rate on and have a maturity identical to that of the related Debentures. The trust preferred securities will be redeemed upon maturity or earlier redemption of the related Debentures.
(2) 
Reflects the coupon rate in effect at June 30, 2013. The coupon rate for the Bloomfield Hills Statutory Trust I is a variable rate and is based on three-month LIBOR plus 2.65%. The coupon rates for the PrivateBancorp Statutory Trusts II and III are at a variable rate based on three-month LIBOR plus 1.71% for Trust II and three-month LIBOR plus 1.50% for Trust III. The coupon rate for the PrivateBancorp Statutory Trust IV is fixed. Distributions for all of the Trusts are payable quarterly. We have the right to defer payment of interest on the Debentures at any time or from time to time for a period not exceeding ten years in the case of the Debentures held by Trust IV, and five years in the case of all other Debentures, without causing an event of default under the related indenture, provided no extension period may extend beyond the stated maturity of the Debentures. During such extension period, distributions on the trust preferred securities would also be deferred, and our ability to pay dividends on our common stock would generally be prohibited. The Federal Reserve has the ability to prevent interest payments on the Debentures.
(3) 
The trust preferred securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the Debentures at maturity or their earlier redemption. The Debentures are redeemable in whole or in part prior to maturity at any time after the dates shown in the table and only after we have obtained Federal Reserve approval, if then required under applicable guidelines or regulations.

Participating stockholders are those that hold unvested shares or units that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. Such shares or units are considered participating securities (i.e., the Company’s deferred stock units and nonvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units).
(2) 
Earnings allocated to common stockholders for basic and diluted earnings per share may differ under the two-class method as a result of adding common stock equivalents for options to dilutive shares outstanding, which alters the ratio used to allocate earnings to common stockholders and participating securities for the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share.

Deferred Tax Assets

Net deferred tax assets totaled $97.3 million at June 30, 2013 and $89.3 million at December 31, 2012. Net deferred tax assets are included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

At June 30, 2013, we have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and no valuation allowance was recorded. This conclusion was based in part on the fact that we have cumulative book income for financial statement purposes at June 30, 2013, measured on a trailing three-year basis. In addition, we considered our recent earnings history, on both a book and tax basis, and our outlook for earnings and taxable income in future periods.

As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions that, if recognized, would favorably impact the effective tax rate by $175,000 and $130,000 respectively.

14. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We utilize an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to reduce interest rate risk, as it relates to mortgage loan commitments and planned sales of loans, and foreign currency volatility as it relates to certain loans denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We also use these instruments to accommodate our clients as we provide them with risk management solutions. None of the above-mentioned end-user and client-related derivatives were designated as hedging instruments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

We also use interest rate derivatives to hedge variability in forecasted interest cash flows in our loan portfolio which is comprised primarily of floating rate loans. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.

Derivatives expose us to counterparty credit risk. Credit risk is managed through our standard underwriting process. Actual exposures are monitored against various types of credit limits established to contain risk within parameters. Additionally, credit risk is managed through the use of collateral and netting agreements.

Represents netting of derivative asset and liability balances, and related cash collateral, with the same counterparty subject to master netting agreements. Authoritative accounting guidance permits the netting of derivative receivables and payables when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists between the Company and a derivative counterparty. A master netting agreement is an agreement between two counterparties who have multiple derivative contracts with each other that provides for the net settlement of contracts through a single payment, in a single currency, in the event of default on or termination of any one contract.

Master Netting Agreements

Certain of the Company's end-user and client-related derivative contracts are subject to enforceable master netting agreements with derivative counterparties. For those derivative contracts subject to enforceable master netting agreements, derivative assets and liabilities, and related cash collateral, with the same counterparty are reported on a net basis within derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Derivative contracts may require the Company to provide or receive cash or financial instrument collateral. Collateral associated with derivative assets and liabilities subject to enforceable master netting agreements with the same counterparty is posted on a net basis. All of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities subject to collateral posting requirements are in a net liability position as of June 30, 2013, and the Company has pledged cash or financial collateral in accordance with each counterparty's

36


collateral posting requirements. Certain collateral posting requirements are subject to posting thresholds and minimum transfer amounts, such that the Company is only required to post collateral once the posting threshold is met, and any adjustments to the amount of collateral posted must meet minimum transfer amounts.

As of June 30, 2013, no cash collateral pledged was netted with the related derivative liabilities and no cash collateral received was netted with the related derivative assets on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. To the extent not netted against derivative fair values under a master netting agreement, the receivable for cash pledged of $554,000 is included in other short-term investments. Any securities pledged to counterparties as financial instrument collateral remain on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as long as the Company does not default.

The following table presents information about the Company's derivative assets and liabilities and the related collateral by derivative type (e.g., interest rate contracts). As the Company posts collateral with counterparties on the basis of its net position in all derivative contracts with a given counterparty, the information presented below aggregates end-user and client-related derivative contracts entered into with the same counterparty.

Certain of our derivative contracts contain embedded credit risk contingent features that if triggered either allow the derivative counterparty to terminate the derivative or require additional collateral. These contingent features are triggered if we do not meet specified financial performance indicators such as minimum capital ratios under the federal banking agencies’ guidelines. All requirements were met at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Details on these derivative contracts are set forth in the following table.

Derivatives Designated in Hedge Relationships

The objective of our hedging program is to use interest rate derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.

Cash flow hedges – Our cash flow hedging program enters into receive fixed/pay variable interest rate swaps to convert certain floating-rate commercial loans to fixed rate to reduce the variability in forecasted interest cash flows due to market interest rate changes. We use regression analysis to assess the effectiveness of cash flow hedges at both the inception of the hedge relationship and on an ongoing basis. Ineffectiveness is generally measured as the amount by which the cumulative change in fair value of the hedging instrument exceeds the present value of the cumulative change in the expected cash flows of the hedged item. Measured ineffectiveness is recognized directly in other non-interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the first six months of 2013, there were no gains or losses from cash flow hedge derivatives related to ineffectiveness that were reclassified to current earnings. The effective portion of the gains or losses on cash flow hedges are recorded, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") and are subsequently reclassified to interest income on loans in the period that the hedged interest cash flows affect earnings. As of June 30, 2013, the maximum length of time over which forecasted interest cash flows are hedged is 7 years. There are no components of derivative gains or losses excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness related to our cash flow hedge strategy.

As of June 30, 2013, $3.7 million in net deferred losses, net of tax, recorded in AOCI are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months. This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations, and the addition of other hedges subsequent to June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, there were no gains or losses from cash flow hedge derivatives reclassified to current earnings because it became probable that the original forecasted transaction would not occur.

Derivatives Not Designated in Hedge Relationships

Other End-User Derivatives – We enter into derivatives that include commitments to fund residential mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market and commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans. It is our practice to enter into commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans on a best efforts basis when we enter into customer interest rate lock commitments. This practice allows us to economically hedge the effect of changes in interest rates on our commitments to fund the loans as well as on our portfolio of mortgage loans held-for-sale. At June 30, 2013, the par value of our mortgage loans held-for-sale totaled $35.1 million, the notional value of our interest rate lock commitments totaled $83.1 million, and the notional value of our best efforts commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans totaled $118.2 million.

We are also exposed at times to foreign exchange risk as a result of issuing loans in which the principal and interest are settled in a currency other than U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2013, our exposure was to the Euro, Canadian dollar, and British pound sterling on $13.2 million of loans. We manage this risk by using currency forward derivatives.

Client-Related Derivatives – We offer, through our capital markets group, over-the-counter interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives to our clients, including but not limited to, interest rate swaps, options on interest rate swaps, interest rate options (also

39


referred to as caps, floors, collars, etc.), foreign exchange forwards, and options as well as cash products such as foreign exchange spot transactions. When our clients enter into an interest rate or foreign exchange derivative transaction with us, we mitigate our exposure to market risk through the execution of off-setting positions with inter-bank dealer counterparties. Although the off-setting nature of transactions originated by our capital markets group limits our market risk exposure, they do expose us to other risks including counterparty credit, settlement, and operational risk.

To accommodate our loan clients, we occasionally enter into risk participation agreements ("RPA") with counterparty banks to either accept or transfer a portion of the credit risk related to their interest rate derivatives or transfer a portion of the credit risk related to our interest rate derivatives. This allows clients to execute an interest rate derivative with one bank while allowing for distribution of the credit risk among participating members. We have entered into written RPAs in which we accept a portion of the credit risk associated with an interest rate derivative of another bank's loan client in exchange for a fee. We manage this credit risk through our loan underwriting process, and when appropriate, the RPA is backed by collateral provided by our clients under their loan agreement.

The current payment/performance risk of written RPAs is assessed using internal risk ratings which range from 1 to 8 with the latter representing the highest credit risk. The risk rating is based on several factors including the financial condition of the RPA’s underlying derivative counterparty, present economic conditions, performance trends, leverage, and liquidity.

The maximum potential amount of future undiscounted payments that we could be required to make under our written RPAs assumes that the underlying derivative counterparty defaults and that the floating interest rate index of the underlying derivative remains at zero percent. In the event that we would have to pay out any amounts under our RPAs, we will seek to maximize the recovery of these amounts from assets that our clients pledged as collateral for the derivative and the related loan.

15. COMMITMENTS, GUARANTEES, AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Credit Extension Commitments and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, we enter into a variety of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of our clients and to conduct lending activities. These instruments principally include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and liquidity risk in excess of the amounts reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Includes covered asset commitments of $21.3 million and $23.0 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend funds to a client as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the loan agreement. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and variable interest rates tied to the prime rate or LIBOR and may require payment of a fee for the unused portion of the commitment or for the amounts issued but not drawn on letters of credit. All or a portion of commitments with an initial term extending beyond one year require regulatory capital support, while commitments of less than one year currently do not, although under newly issued regulatory capital rules, unfunded commitments of less than one year will require regulatory capital unless unconditionally cancellable. Since many of our commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the borrowers. As of June 30, 2013, we had a reserve for unfunded commitments of $9.5 million, which reflects our estimate of inherent losses associated with these commitment obligations. The balance of this reserve changes based on a number of factors including: the balance of outstanding commitments and our assessment of the likelihood of borrowers to utilize these commitments. The reserve is recorded in other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. Standby letters of credit include performance and financial guarantees for clients in connection with contracts between our clients and third parties. Standby letters of credit are agreements where we are obligated to make payment to a third party on behalf of a client in the event the client fails to meet their contractual obligations. Commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the client and the third party. In most cases, the Company receives a fee for the amount of a letter of credit issued but not drawn upon.

In the event of a client’s nonperformance, our credit loss exposure is equal to the contractual amount of those commitments. We manage this credit risk in a similar manner to evaluating credit risk in extending loans to clients under our credit policies. We use the same credit policies in making credit commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments, mitigating exposure to credit loss through various collateral requirements, if deemed necessary. In the event of nonperformance by the clients, we have rights to the

41


underlying collateral, which could include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and marketable securities.

The maximum potential future payments guaranteed by us under standby letters of credit arrangements are equal to the contractual amount of the commitment. The unamortized fees associated with standby letters of credit, which are included in other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, totaled $1.5 million as of June 30, 2013. We amortize these amounts into income over the commitment period. As of June 30, 2013, standby letters of credit had a remaining weighted-average term of approximately 14 months, with remaining actual lives ranging from less than 1 year to 8 years.

Other Commitments

The Company has unfunded commitments to CRA investments as well as commitments to provide contributions to other investment partnerships totaling $12.5 million at June 30, 2013. Of these commitments, $1.2 million related to legally-binding unfunded commitments for tax-credit investments and was included within other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Credit Card Settlement Guarantees

Our third-party corporate credit card vendor issues corporate purchase credit cards on behalf of our commercial clients. The corporate purchase credit cards are issued to employees of certain of our commercial clients at the client’s direction and used for payment of business-related expenses. In most circumstances, these cards will be underwritten by our third-party vendor. However, in certain circumstances, we may enter into a recourse agreement, which transfers the credit risk from the third-party vendor to us in the event that the client fails to meet its financial payment obligation. In these circumstances, a total maximum exposure amount is established for our corporate client. In addition to the obligations presented in the prior table, the maximum potential future payments guaranteed by us under this third-party settlement guarantee were $3.5 million at June 30, 2013.

We believe that the estimated amounts of maximum potential future payments are not representative of our actual potential loss given our insignificant historical losses from this third-party settlement guarantee program. As of June 30, 2013, we have not recorded any contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements for this settlement guarantee program, and management believes that the probability of any loss under this arrangement is remote.

Mortgage Loans Sold with Recourse

Certain mortgage loans sold have limited recourse provisions. The losses for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 arising from limited recourse provisions were not material. Based on this experience, the Company has not established any liability for potential future losses relating to mortgage loans sold in prior periods.

Legal Proceedings

In June 2013, we were served with a complaint naming the Bank as an additional defendant in a lawsuit pending in the Circuit Court of the 21st Judicial Circuit, Kankakee County, Illinois known as Maas vs. Marek et. al. The lawsuit, brought by the beneficiaries of two trusts for which the Bank is serving as the successor trustee, seeks reimbursement of approximately $2 million of penalties and interest assessed by the IRS due to the late payment of certain generation skipping taxes by the trusts, as well as certain related attorney fees and other damages. The other named defendants include legal and accounting professionals that provided services related to the matters involved. Although this litigation is in the early stages and we are not able to predict the likelihood of an adverse outcome, we currently anticipate that ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

As of June 30, 2013, there were various legal proceedings pending against the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

16. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We measure, monitor, and disclose certain of our assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is used on a recurring basis to account for securities available-for-sale, mortgage loans held-for-sale, derivative assets, derivative liabilities, and certain other assets and other liabilities. In addition, fair value is used on a non-recurring basis to apply lower-of-cost-or-market accounting to foreclosed real estate and certain other loans held-for-sale, evaluate assets or liabilities for impairment, including collateral-dependent impaired loans, and for disclosure purposes. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, we use various valuation techniques and input assumptions when estimating fair value.

U.S. GAAP requires us to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels based on the reliability of the input assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The categorization of where an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Valuation Methodology

We believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. However, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value. Additionally, the methods used may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.

The following describes the valuation methodologies we use for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including the general classification of the assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Securities Available-for-Sale – Securities available-for-sale include U.S. Treasury, collateralized mortgage obligations, residential mortgage-backed securities, state and municipal securities, and foreign sovereign debt. Substantially all available-for-sale securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but may be traded in active markets. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services. The principal markets for our securities portfolio are the secondary institutional markets, with an exit price that is predominantly reflective of bid level pricing in those markets. U.S. Treasury securities have been classified in level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. All other remaining securities are classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses a variety of methods to validate the overall reasonableness of the fair values obtained from external pricing services, including evaluating pricing service inputs and methodologies, using exception reports based on analytical criteria, comparing prices obtained to prices received from other pricing sources, and reviewing the reasonableness of prices based on the Company’s knowledge of market liquidity and other market-related conditions. While we may challenge valuation inputs used in determining prices obtained from external pricing services based on our validation procedures, we have not altered the fair values ultimately provided by the external pricing services.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale – Mortgage loans held-for-sale represent residential mortgage loan originations intended to be sold in the secondary market. We have elected the fair value option for residential mortgage loans originated with the intention of selling to a third party. The election of the fair value option aligns the accounting for these loans with the related mortgage banking derivatives used to economically hedge them. These mortgage loans are measured at fair value as of each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized through mortgage banking non-interest income. The fair value of mortgage loans held-for-sale is determined based on prices obtained for loans with similar characteristics from third party sources. On a quarterly basis, the Company validates the overall reasonableness of the fair values obtained from third party sources by comparing prices obtained to prices received from various other pricing sources, and reviewing the reasonableness of prices based on Company knowledge of market liquidity and other market-related conditions. Mortgage loans held-for-sale are classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Collateral-Dependent Impaired Loans – We do not record loans held for investment at fair value on a recurring basis. However, periodically, we record nonrecurring adjustments to reduce the carrying value of certain impaired loans based on fair value measurement. This population of impaired loans includes those for which repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. We measure the fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans based on the fair value of the collateral securing these loans less estimated selling costs. A majority of collateral-dependent impaired loans are secured by real estate with the fair value generally determined based upon appraisals performed by a certified or licensed appraiser using a combination of valuation techniques such as sales comparison, income capitalization and cost approach and include inputs such as absorption rates, capitalization rates and comparables. We also consider other factors or recent developments that could result in adjustments to the collateral value estimates indicated in the appraisals. Accordingly, fair value estimates for collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The carrying value of all impaired loans and the related specific reserves are disclosed in Note 4.

At the time a collateral-dependent loan is initially determined to be impaired, we review the existing collateral appraisal. If the most recent appraisal is greater than one year old, a new appraisal is obtained on the underlying collateral. The Company generally obtains "as is" appraisal values for use in the evaluation of collateral-dependent impaired loans. Appraisals for loans in excess of $500,000 are updated with new independent appraisals at least annually and are formally reviewed by our internal appraisal department. Additional diligence is also performed at the six-month interval between annual appraisals. If during the course of the six-month review period there is evidence supporting a meaningful decline in the value of the collateral, the appraised value is either internally adjusted downward or a new appraisal is required to support the value of the impaired loan. As part of our internal review process, we consider other factors or recent developments that could adjust the valuations indicated in the appraisals or internal reviews. The Company’s internal appraisal review process validates the reasonableness of appraisals in conjunction with analyzing sales and market data from an array of market sources.

Covered Asset OREO and OREO – Covered asset OREO and OREO generated from our originated book of business are valued on a nonrecurring basis using third-party appraisals of each property and our judgment of other relevant market conditions and are classified in level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. As part of our internal review process, we consider other factors or recent developments that could adjust the valuations indicated in the appraisals or internal reviews. Updated appraisals on both OREO portfolios are typically obtained every twelve months and evaluated internally at least every six months. In addition, both property-specific and market-specific factors as well as collateral type factors are taken into consideration, which may result in obtaining more frequent appraisal updates or internal assessments. Appraisals are conducted by third-party independent appraisers under internal direction and engagement using a combination of valuation techniques such as sales comparison, income capitalization and cost approach and include inputs such as absorption rates, capitalization rate and comparables. Any appraisal with a value in excess of $250,000 is subject to a compliance review. Appraisals received with a value in excess of $1.0 million are subject to a technical review. Appraisals are either reviewed internally by our appraisal department or sent to an outside technical firm if appropriate. Both levels of review involve a scope appropriate for the complexity and risk associated with the OREO. To validate the reasonableness of the appraisals obtained, the Company compares the appraised value to the actual sales price of properties sold and analyzes the reasons why a property may be sold for less than its appraised value.

Derivative Assets and Derivative Liabilities – Derivative instruments with positive fair values are reported as an asset and derivative instruments with negative fair value are reported as liabilities, in both cases after taking into account the effects of master netting agreements. For derivative counterparties with which we have a master netting agreement, we elect to measure nonperformance risk on the basis of our net exposure to the counterparty. The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities is determined based on prices obtained from third party advisors using standardized industry models. Many factors affect derivative values, including the level of interest rates, the market’s perception of our nonperformance risk as reflected in our credit spread, and our assessment of counterparty nonperformance risk. The nonperformance risk assessment is based on our evaluation of credit risk, or if available, on observable external assessments of credit risk. Values of derivative assets and liabilities are primarily based on observable inputs and are classified in level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, with the exception of certain client-related derivatives and risk participation agreements, as discussed below. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses a variety of methods to validate the overall reasonableness of the fair values obtained from third party advisors, including evaluating inputs and methodologies used by the third party advisors, comparing prices obtained to prices received from other pricing sources, and reviewing the reasonableness of prices based on the Company's knowledge of market liquidity and other market-related conditions. While we may challenge valuation inputs used in determining prices obtained from third party advisors based on our validation procedures, we have not altered the fair values ultimately provided by the third party advisors.

Level 3 derivatives include risk participation agreements and derivatives associated with clients whose loans are risk rated 6 or higher ("watch list derivative"). Refer to "Credit Quality Indicators" in Note 4 for further discussion on risk ratings. For these level 3 derivatives, the Company obtains prices from third party advisors, consistent with the valuation processes employed for the Company’s derivatives classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and then applies loss factors to adjust the prices obtained from third party advisors. The significant unobservable inputs that are employed in the valuation process for the risk participation

agreements and watch list derivatives that cause these derivatives to be classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are the historic loss factors specific to the particular industry segment and risk rating category. The loss factors are updated quarterly and are derived and aligned with the loss factors utilized in the calculation of the Company’s general reserve component of the allowance for loan losses. Changes in the fair value measurement of risk participation agreements and watch list derivatives are largely due to changes in the fair value of the derivative, risk rating adjustments and fluctuations in the pertinent historic average loss rate.

If a change in valuation techniques or input assumptions for an asset or liability occurred between periods, we would consider whether this would result in a transfer between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between level 1 and level 2 of the valuation hierarchy between December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013.

There have been no changes in the valuation techniques we used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013.

Amounts disclosed in this line are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income as capital markets products income for derivatives.
(2) 
Transfers in and transfers out are recognized at the end of each quarterly reporting period. In general, derivative assets and liabilities are transferred into Level 3 from Level 2 due to a lack of observable market data, as there was deterioration in the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. Conversely, derivative assets and liabilities are transferred out of Level 3 into Level 2 due to an improvement in the credit risk of the derivative counterparty.

The change in fair value is reflected in mortgage banking non-interest income.

As of June 30, 2013, none of the mortgage loans held-for-sale were on nonaccrual or 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were not material.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

From time to time, we may be required to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair-value accounting or write-downs of individual assets when there is evidence of impairment.

The following table provides the fair value of those assets that were subject to fair value adjustments during the first six months of 2013 and 2012, and still held at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis were measured using level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Estimated Fair Value of Certain Financial Instruments

U.S. GAAP requires disclosure of the estimated fair values of certain financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, on and off-balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate the fair value. Because the disclosure of estimated fair values provided herein excludes the fair value of certain other financial instruments and all non-financial instruments, any aggregation of the estimated fair value amounts presented would not represent total underlying value. Examples of non-financial instruments having value not disclosed herein include the future earnings potential of significant customer relationships and the value of Trust and Investments’ operations and other fee-generating businesses. In addition, other significant assets including property, plant, and equipment and goodwill are not considered financial instruments and, therefore, have not been included in the disclosure.

Various methodologies and assumptions have been utilized in management’s determination of the estimated fair value of our financial instruments, which are detailed below. The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information. Because no market exists for a significant portion of these financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected economic conditions, loss experience, and risk characteristics of the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective, involve uncertainties, and cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

In addition to the valuation methodology explained above for financial instruments recorded at fair value, the following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments that are carried at cost in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and includes the general classification of the assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Short-term financial assets and liabilities – For financial instruments with a shorter-term or with no stated maturity, prevailing market rates, and limited credit risk, the carrying amounts approximate fair value. Those financial instruments include cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits in banks (including the receivable for cash collateral pledged), accrued interest receivable, and accrued interest payable. Accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable are classified consistent with the hierarchy of their corresponding assets and liabilities.


49


Securities held-to-maturity – Securities held-to-maturity include collateralized mortgage obligations, residential mortgage-backed securities, agency commercial mortgage-backed securities and state and municipal securities. Substantially all held-to-maturity securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but may be traded in active markets. The fair value of these securities is based on quoted market prices obtained from external pricing services. The principal markets for our securities portfolio are the secondary institutional markets, with an exit price that is predominantly reflective of bid level pricing in those markets.

FHLB stock – The carrying value of FHLB stock approximates fair value as the stock is non-marketable, but can only be sold to the FHLB or another member institution at par.

Loans – The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting estimated cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. Cash flows are estimated by applying contractual payment terms to assumed interest rates. The estimate of maturity is based on contractual terms and includes assumptions that reflect our and the industry’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification. The estimation is modified, as required, by the effect of current economic and lending conditions, collateral, and other factors.

Covered assets – Covered assets include acquired loans and foreclosed loan collateral covered under a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC (including the fair value of expected reimbursements from the FDIC). The fair value of covered assets is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the asset. The estimate of maturity is based on contractual terms and includes assumptions that reflect our and the industry’s historical experience with repayments for each asset classification. The estimate is modified, as required, by the effect of current economic and lending conditions, collateral, and other factors.

Investment in BOLI – The fair value of our investment in bank owned life insurance is equal to its cash surrender value.

Deposit liabilities – The fair values disclosed for noninterest-bearing deposits, savings deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, and money market deposits are approximately equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values for certificate of deposits and brokered time deposits were estimated using present value techniques by discounting the future cash flows at rates based on internal models and broker quotes.

Short-term and other borrowings – The fair value of FHLB advances with remaining maturities of one year or less is estimated by discounting the obligations using the rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of secured borrowings is equal to the value of the loans they are collateralizing. See "Loans" above for further information. The carrying amount of the obligation for cash collateral held is considered to be its fair value because of its short-term nature.

Long-term debt – The fair value of the Company's fixed-rate long-term debt was estimated using the unadjusted publicly-available market price as of period end. The fair value of the Bank's subordinated debt facility, FHLB advances with remaining maturities greater than one year, and the Company's variable-rate junior subordinated debentures is estimated by discounting future cash flows. For the FHLB advances with remaining maturities greater than one year, the Company discounts cash flows using quoted interest rates for similar financial instruments. For the Bank's subordinated debt and the Company's variable-rate junior subordinated debentures, we interpolate a discount rate we believe is appropriate based on quoted interest rates and entity specific adjustments.

Commitments – Given the limited interest rate risk posed by the commitments outstanding at period end due to their variable rate structure, termination clauses provided in the agreements, and the market rate of fees charged, we have deemed the fair value of commitments outstanding to be immaterial.

17. OPERATING SEGMENTS

We have three primary operating segments: Banking, Trust and Investments, and the Holding Company. With respect to the Banking and Trust and Investments' segments, each is delineated by the products and services that each segment offers. The Banking operating segment is comprised of commercial and personal banking services, including mortgage originations. Commercial banking services are primarily provided to corporations and other business clients and include a wide array of lending and cash management products. Personal banking services offered to individuals, professionals, and entrepreneurs include direct lending and depository services. The Trust and Investments segment includes certain activities of our PrivateWealth group, including investment management, personal trust and estate administration, custodial and escrow, retirement account administration and brokerage services. The activities of the third operating segment, the Holding Company, include the direct and indirect ownership of our banking subsidiary, the issuance of debt and intersegment eliminations.


52


The accounting policies of the individual operating segments are the same as those of the Company as described in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Transactions between operating segments are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are eliminated from consolidated results of operations. Financial results for each segment are presented below. For segment reporting purposes, the statement of financial condition of Trust and Investments is included with the Banking segment.

Excludes personal loans and loans to non-for-profit entities.

Trust preferred capital securities issuances – As discussed in Note 10, we sponsor and wholly own 100% of the common equity of four trusts that were formed for the purpose of issuing Trust Preferred Securities to third-party investors and investing the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities solely in Debentures issued by the Company. The trusts’ only assets were the principal balance of the Debentures and the related interest receivable, which are included within long-term debt in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of the trusts and accordingly, the trusts are not consolidated in our financial statements.

Community reinvestment investments – We hold certain investments in funds that make investments to further our community reinvestment initiatives. Such investments are included within other assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Certain of these investments meet the definition of a VIE, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary as we are a limited investor in those investment funds and do not have the power to direct their investment activities. Accordingly, we will continue to account for our interests in these investments on an unconsolidated basis. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying amount plus additional required future capital contributions.

Troubled debt restructured loans – For certain troubled commercial loans, we restructure the terms of the borrower’s debt in an effort to increase the probability of collecting amounts contractually due. Following a TDR, the borrower entity typically meets the definition of a VIE as the initial determination of whether an entity is a VIE must be reconsidered and economic events have proven that the entity’s equity is not sufficient to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or a restructuring of the terms of its financing. As we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact such troubled commercial borrowers’ operations, we are not considered the primary beneficiary even in situations where, based on the size of the financing provided, we are exposed to potentially significant benefits and losses of the borrowing entity. We have no contractual requirements to provide financial support to the borrowing entities beyond certain funding commitments established upon restructuring of the terms of the debt. Our interests in the troubled commercial borrowers include outstanding loans and related derivative assets. Our maximum exposure to loss is limited to these interests plus any additional future funding commitments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

PrivateBancorp, Inc. ("PrivateBancorp," we or the "Company"), is a Delaware corporation and bank holding company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The PrivateBank and Trust Company (the "Bank" or the "PrivateBank"), the bank subsidiary of PrivateBancorp, provides customized business and personal financial services to middle market companies and business owners, executives, entrepreneurs and families in all the markets and communities it serves. As of June 30, 2013, we had 36 offices located in ten states, primarily in the Midwest, with a majority of our business conducted in the greater Chicago market.

54



We deliver a full spectrum of commercial and personal banking products and services to our clients through our commercial banking, community banking and private wealth businesses. We offer clients a full range of lending, treasury management, capital markets and other banking products to meet their commercial needs, and residential mortgage banking, private banking, trust and investment services to meet their personal needs.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. Unless otherwise stated, all earnings per share data included in this section and through the remainder of this discussion are presented on a diluted basis.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements represent management's beliefs and expectations regarding future events, such as our anticipated future financial results, credit quality, revenues, expenses, or other financial items, and the impact of business plans and strategies or legislative or regulatory actions. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "could," "would," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "project," "potential," or "continue" or other similar words.

Our ability to predict results or the actual effects of future plans, strategies or events is inherently uncertain. Factors which could cause actual results to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include:

continued uncertainty regarding U.S. and global economic outlook that may impact market conditions and credit quality or prolong weakness in demand for loans or other banking products and services;
unanticipated developments in pending or prospective loan transactions or greater than expected paydowns or payoffs of existing loans;
unanticipated changes in interest rates;
competitive trends in our markets;
unforeseen credit quality problems that could result in charge-offs greater than we have anticipated in our allowance for loan losses;
slower than anticipated dispositions of other real estate owned or declines in real estate values which may negatively impact foreclosed property expense;
lack of sufficient or cost-effective sources of liquidity or funding as and when needed;
loss of key personnel or an inability to recruit and retain appropriate talent;
potential impact of recently adopted capital rules;
greater than anticipated impact on costs, revenues and offered products and services associated with the implementation of other regulatory changes;
changes in monetary or fiscal policies of the U.S. Government; or
failures or disruptions to our data processing or other information or operational systems, including the potential impact of disruptions or breaches at our third party service providers.

These factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on our forward-looking statements. Readers should also consider the risks, assumptions and uncertainties set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" sections of this Form 10-Q as well as those set forth in our subsequent periodic reports filed with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we assume no obligation to update any of these statements in light of new information, future events or otherwise unless required under the federal securities laws.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), and our accounting policies are consistent with predominant practices in the financial services industry. Critical accounting policies are those policies that require management to make the most significant estimates, assumptions, and judgments based on information available at the date of the financial statements that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and

55


accompanying notes. Future changes in information may affect these estimates, assumptions, and judgments, which, in turn, may affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

Our most significant accounting policies are presented in Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other consolidated financial statement notes and in this discussion, provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the consolidated financial statements and how those values are determined. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has determined that our accounting policies with respect to the allowance for loan losses, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes and fair value measurements are the accounting areas requiring subjective or complex judgments that are most important to our financial position and results of operations, and, as such, are considered to be critical accounting policies, as discussed below.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is assessed quarterly and represents an accounting estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date based on a review of available and relevant information at that time. The allowance consists of reserves for probable losses that have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships that are individually evaluated for impairment ("the specific component"), as well as probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio that are not specifically identified ("the general allocated component"), which is determined using a methodology that is a function of quantitative and qualitative factors applied to segments of our loan portfolio as well as management’s judgment.

The specific component relates to impaired loans. Impaired loans consist of nonaccrual loans (which include nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs")) and loans classified as accruing TDRs. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes that either it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or it has been classified as a TDR. Once a loan is determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the loan’s observable fair value; fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated selling costs, if the loan is collateral-dependent; or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.

If the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized by creating a specific valuation reserve as a component of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans exceeding $500,000 are evaluated individually, while loans less than $500,000 are evaluated as pools using historical loss experience, as well as management’s loss expectations, for the respective asset class and product type. Of total impaired loans of $170.0 million at June 30, 2013, 88% had balances in excess of $500,000.

All impaired loans and their related reserves are reviewed and updated each quarter. Any impaired loan for which a determination has been made that the economic value is permanently reduced is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses to reflect its current economic value in the period in which the determination is made.

At the time a collateral-dependent loan is initially determined to be impaired, we review the existing collateral appraisal. If the most recent appraisal is greater than one year old, a new appraisal is obtained on the underlying collateral. The Company generally obtains "as is" appraisal values for use in the evaluation of collateral-dependent impaired loans. Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans in excess of $500,000 are updated with new independent appraisals at least annually and are formally reviewed by our internal appraisal department. Additional diligence is also performed at the six-month interval between annual appraisals. If during the course of the six-month review process there is evidence supporting a meaningful decline in the value of collateral, the appraised value is either internally adjusted downward or a new appraisal is required to support the value of the impaired loan. With an immaterial number of exceptions, all appraisals and internal reviews are current under this methodology at June 30, 2013.

To determine the general allocated component of the allowance for loan losses, we segregate loans by vintage ("transformational" and "legacy") and product type (e.g., commercial, commercial real estate) because of observable similarities in the historical performance experience of loans underwritten by these business units. In general, loans originated by the business units that existed prior to the strategic changes of the Company in 2007 are considered "legacy" loans. Loans originated by a business unit that was established in connection with or following the strategic business transformation plan are considered "transformational" loans. Renewals or restructurings of legacy loans may continue to be evaluated as legacy loans depending on the structure or defining characteristics of the new transaction. The Company has implemented a line of business model that has reorganized the legacy business units so that after 2009, all new loan originations are considered transformational.


56


The methodology produces an estimated range of potential loss exposure for the product types within each vintage. We consider the appropriate balance of the general allocated component of the reserve in relation to a variety of internal and external quantitative and qualitative factors to reflect data or timeframes not captured by the basic allowance framework as well as market and economic data and management judgment. In certain instances, these additional factors and judgments may lead management to conclude that the appropriate level of the reserve is outside the range determined through the basic allowance framework.

Determination of the allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans; estimated losses on pools of homogeneous loans based on historical loss experience, risk ratings, product type, and vintage; and consideration of current economic trends and portfolio attributes, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. For instance, loss rates in our allowance methodology typically reflect the Company’s more recent loss experience, by product, on a trailing twelve or eighteen month basis. These loss rates consider both cumulative charge-offs and other real estate owned ("OREO") valuation adjustments over the period in the individual product categories that constitute our allowance. Default estimates use a multi-year originating vintage and rating approach. In addition, we compare current model-derived and historically-established reserve levels to recent charge-off trends and history in considering the appropriate final level of reserve at each product level.

Credit exposures deemed to be uncollectible are charged-off against the allowance, while recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited to the allowance. A provision for loan losses, which is a charge against earnings, is recorded to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired using the acquisition method of accounting. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights or because the asset is capable of being sold or exchanged either on its own or in combination with a related contract, asset, or liability.

Goodwill is allocated to reporting units at acquisition. The Company has two reporting units with allocated goodwill: Banking and Trust and Investments. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is not amortized but, instead, is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded in earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible or regulatory capital.

The impairment testing process is conducted by assigning net assets and goodwill to each reporting unit. In "step one," the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to the recorded book value. Our step one calculation of each reporting unit’s fair value is based upon a simple average of two metrics: (1) a primary market approach, which measures fair value based upon trading multiples of independent publicly traded financial institutions of comparable size and character to the reporting units, and (2) an income approach, which estimates fair value based upon discounted cash flows ("DCF") and terminal value (using the perpetuity growth method). If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and "step two" is not considered necessary. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the impairment test continues ("step two") by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined using the residual approach, where the fair value of a reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit, calculated in step one, is the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment charge is recognized to the extent the carrying value of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill.

The Company has the option at the time of its annual impairment testing to perform a qualitative assessment for each reporting unit to determine of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value before applying the existing two-step goodwill impairment test. If the Company concludes that this is the case, the Company would proceed with the existing two-step test, as described above. Otherwise, the Company would be able to bypass the two-step test and conclude that goodwill is not impaired from a qualitative perspective.

In conjunction with our annual goodwill impairment test performed as of October 31, 2012, we did not elect to perform a qualitative assessment and chose to proceed with the quantitative two-step test. As a result of our step one analysis, the Company determined that the fair value of both the Banking and Trust and Investments reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts. As such, both of the Company's reporting units with allocated goodwill "passed" step one of the goodwill impairment test, and no

57


further analysis was required to support the conclusion that goodwill was not impaired as of October 31, 2012. The Banking reporting unit's fair value exceeded its carrying amount by 15%, while the Trust and Investments reporting unit's fair value exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 135%. The Company is not aware of any events or circumstances subsequent to its annual goodwill impairment testing date of October 31, 2012 that would indicate impairment of goodwill at June 30, 2013.

Goodwill impairment testing is considered a "critical accounting estimate" as estimates and assumptions are made about future performance and cash flows, as well as other prevailing market factors. For our annual impairment testing, we engage an independent valuation firm to assist in the computation of the fair value estimates of each reporting unit. In connection with obtaining an independent third-party valuation, management provides certain information and assumptions that are utilized in the calculations. Assumptions critical to the process include: forecasted earnings, which are developed for each segment by considering several key business drivers such as historical performance, forward interest rates (using forward interest rate curves to forecast future expected interest rates), anticipated loan and deposit growth, and industry and economic trends; discount rates; and credit quality assessments, among other considerations. We provide the best information available at the time to be used in these estimates and calculations. Changes in these assumptions due to macroeconomic, industry-wide, or Company-specific developments subsequent to the date of our annual goodwill impairment test could affect the results of our goodwill impairment analysis.

Identified intangible assets that have a finite useful life are amortized over that life in a manner that reflects the estimated decline in the economic value of the identified intangible asset and are subject to impairment testing whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. During the second quarter 2013, there were no events or circumstances to indicate that there may be impairment of intangible assets. The Company's intangible assets include core deposit premiums, client relationship, and assembled workforce intangibles. All of these intangible assets have finite lives and are amortized over varying periods not exceeding 15 years.

Income Taxes

The determination of income tax expense or benefit, and the amounts of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities are based on complex analyses of many factors, including interpretations of federal and state income tax laws, current financial accounting standards, the difference between tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities (temporary differences), assessments of the likelihood that the reversals of deferred deductible temporary differences will yield tax benefits, and estimates of reserves required for tax uncertainties. In addition, for interim reporting purposes, management generally determines its income tax provision, before consideration of any discrete items, based on its current best estimate of pre-tax income, permanent differences and the resulting effective tax rate expected for the full year.

We are subject to the federal income tax laws of the United States and the tax laws of the states and other jurisdictions where we conduct business. We periodically undergo examination by various governmental taxing authorities. Such authorities may require that changes in the amount of tax expense be recognized when their interpretations of tax law differ from those of management, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. There can be no assurance that future events, such as court decisions, new interpretations of existing law or positions by federal or state taxing authorities, will not result in tax liability amounts that differ from our current assessment of such amounts, the impact of which could be significant to future results.

Temporary differences may give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are recorded on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. We assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods based on weighing both positive and negative evidence and establish a valuation allowance for those deferred tax assets for which recovery is unlikely, based on a standard of "more likely than not." In making this assessment, we must make judgments and estimates regarding the ability to realize these assets through: (a) the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, (b) future taxable income, (c) the possible application of future tax planning strategies, and (d) carryback to taxable income in prior years. We have not established a valuation allowance relating to our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2013. However, there is no guarantee that the tax benefits associated with these deferred tax assets will be fully realized. We have concluded, as of June 30, 2013, that it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will be realized.

In the preparation of income tax returns, tax positions are taken based on interpretations of federal and state income tax laws for which the outcome of such positions may not be certain. We periodically review and evaluate the status of uncertain tax positions and may establish tax reserves for tax benefits that may not be realized. The amount of any such reserves are based on the standards for determining such reserves as set forth in current accounting guidance and our estimates of amounts that may ultimately be due or owed (including interest). These estimates may change from time to time based on our evaluation of developments subsequent to the filing of the income tax return, such as tax authority audits, court decisions or other tax law interpretations. There can be no assurance that any tax reserves will be sufficient to cover tax liabilities that may ultimately be determined to be owed. At

June 30, 2013, we had $175,000 of tax reserves established relating to uncertain tax positions that would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate if recognized in future periods.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date, including securities available-for-sale, derivatives, and certain loans held-for-sale. Additionally, other assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, including impaired loans and other real estate owned ("OREO"), which are subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances.

The Company measures fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes fair value measurements based on the observability of the valuation inputs used in determining fair value. Level 1 valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2 valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 valuations use at least one significant unobservable input that is supported by little or no market activity.

Judgment is required to determine whether certain assets measured at fair value are included in Level 2 or Level 3. When making this judgment, we consider the information available to us, including observable market data, indications of market liquidity and orderliness, and our understanding of the valuation techniques and significant inputs used. Classification of Level 2 or Level 3 is based upon the specific facts and circumstances of each instrument or instrument category and judgments are made regarding the significance of the Level 3 inputs to the instrument's fair value measurement in its entirety. If Level 3 inputs are considered significant, the instrument is classified as Level 3.

Judgment is also required when determining the fair value of an asset or liability when either relevant observable inputs do not exist or available observable inputs are in a market that is not active. When relevant observable inputs are not available, the Company must use its own assumptions about future cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates. Conversely, in some cases observable inputs may require significant adjustments. For example, in cases where the volume and level of trading activity in an asset or liability is very limited, actual transaction prices vary significantly over time or among market participants, or the prices are not current, the observable inputs may not be relevant and could require adjustment.

The Company uses a variety of methods to measure the fair value of financial instruments on a recurring basis and to validate the overall reasonableness of the fair values obtained from external sources on at least a quarterly basis, including evaluating pricing service inputs and methodologies, using exception reports based on analytical criteria, comparing prices obtained to prices received from other pricing sources, and reviewing the reasonableness of prices based on Company knowledge of market liquidity and other market-related conditions. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The inability to precisely measure the fair value of certain assets, such as OREO, may lead to changes in the fair value of those assets over time as unobservable inputs change, which can result in volatility in the amount of income or loss recorded for a particular position from quarter to quarter.

Additional information regarding fair value measurements is included in Note 16 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

USE OF NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report contains both U.S. GAAP and non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures include net interest income, net interest margin, net revenue, operating profit, and efficiency ratio all on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, return on average tangible common equity, Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets, tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible equity to risk-weighted assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible book value. We believe that presenting these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures will provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance, our business, and performance trends and facilitates comparisons with the performance of others in the banking industry. Where non-U.S. 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 in Table 32. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-U.S. GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

SECOND QUARTER OVERVIEW

We reported net income available to common stockholders of $28.9 million for second quarter 2013, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $14.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share reported for second quarter 2012 and $27.3 million, or $0.35 per diluted share for first quarter 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we reported net income available to common stockholders of $56.2 million, or $0.72 per diluted share, compared to $24.9 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

The increase in 2013 earnings was driven primarily by a reduction in expenses over the past year. Specifically, our asset quality trends improved significantly over that time, resulting in lower provision for loan losses. In addition, we experienced lower non-interest expense, including reduced net foreclosed property expense, share-based payment expense, and deposit insurance expense. Despite decreased net interest margin and relatively flat net interest income, operating profit increased $7.9 million, or 16%, in second quarter 2013 compared to the prior year period benefiting from an 11% increase in non-interest income, including a $2.7 million higher credit valuation adjustment ("CVA"), and an 8% decline in non-interest expense compared to the prior year period. Second quarter 2013 results also included $3.0 million in one-time charges, a portion of which relate to actions taken to reduce future non-interest expense in our Michigan and Atlanta operations. Operating profit increased 2% compared to first quarter 2013, and while non-interest income increased in second quarter 2013 compared to the prior year period, relative to first quarter 2013, it decreased 5%. Return on average common equity and return on average assets for second quarter 2013 were 9.28% and 0.86%, respectively, compared to 5.18% and 0.55%, respectively, for second quarter 2012. Our efficiency ratio was 57.9% for second quarter 2013, an improvement from 63.4% for second quarter 2012.

In fourth quarter 2012 we restructured our capital base when we repurchased all of the TARP preferred stock issued in 2009 to the U.S. Treasury. In connection with the restructuring, we issued $75 million of common stock and $125 million of 7.125% subordinated debentures. While our cost of funds and net interest margin are adversely impacted by the interest expense associated with the subordinated debt issuance, taken together, the debt issuance and preferred stock redemption benefited net income available to common stockholders as $13.6 million of annual preferred dividends and accretion was eliminated and we now have annual after-tax interest expense of $5.5 million related to the newly issued debt. The restructuring also benefited earnings per share, taking into account a greater number of common shares outstanding.

After strong loan growth during fourth quarter 2012, when total loans increased 5%, or $514.6 million, we experienced less loan activity in the first half of 2013 in a highly competitive market. Total loans remained flat from December 31, 2012 to June 30, 2013, with growth in the commercial and industrial portfolio offset by reductions in the commercial real estate portfolio as a number of commercial real estate clients refinanced in the long-term market. Compared to the year ago period, average loan balances increased over $700 million. Even with this growth, net interest income for second quarter 2013 was relatively flat compared to the prior year period, reflecting lower loan yields primarily due to competitive pricing pressures. Further impacting interest income in the second quarter 2013 was declining interest income from securities and covered assets and the inclusion of $2.2 million of interest expense on the subordinated debt issued in October 2012, as discussed above. Lower loan and securities yields drove a 24 basis point decline in net interest margin to 3.22% for second quarter 2013 compared to 3.46% for second quarter 2012. Our cost of interest-bearing funds remained flat as compared to the second quarter 2012, as the decline in the interest rate paid on interest-bearing deposits was offset by increases in interest rates paid on long-term borrowings as compared to the prior year period. With approximately 94% of our loan portfolio comprised of variable rate loans, the majority of which are tied to short-term LIBOR, the asset/liability position of our balance sheet is asset sensitive and we expect our net interest margin to benefit when short-term interest rates rise.

Overall asset quality continued to improve across all major credit metrics during the six months ended June 30, 2013, with a 12% reduction in nonperforming loans, 30% reduction in OREO, 21% reduction in accruing TDRs, and 7% reduction in early stage

60


problem loans from December 31, 2012. Nonperforming assets to total assets were 1.33% at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.57% at December 31, 2012. Our allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans declined to 1.47% at June 30, 2013, compared to 1.59% at December 31, 2012, reflecting overall improvement in asset quality, the reduced requirement for specific reserves and lower charge-offs. Compared to second quarter 2012, net charge-offs of $14.1 million in second quarter 2013 were $12.8 million lower, and the provision for loan losses declined by $9.1 million to $8.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we disposed of $57.0 million in problem assets. Based on ongoing workout and disposition activity, we expect further reduction in nonperforming assets in the near term.

In the continued low rate environment, competition remains strong, influencing both pricing and structure. In recent quarters, this has led to net interest margin compression. Our strategy is to maintain a selective and disciplined approach to negotiating new credit opportunities, while focusing on long-term client relationships. Given the current environment, this approach may result in a continuation of loan yield compression and uneven loan growth throughout the year. As a result, success in driving future net loan growth is likely to be key to growing net interest income in the foreseeable future.

Both the first half of 2013 and fourth quarter 2012 had significant deposit activity. While deposits increased 7%, or $814.2 million, during fourth quarter 2012, total deposits at June 30, 2013 decreased by $865.3 million to $11.3 billion from year end 2012 primarily driven by reductions in non-interest bearing deposits. We experienced some outflow of deposits as clients utilized cash in the normal course of business, as well as expected outflows related to the expiration of unlimited deposit insurance guarantee. Deposits at June 30, 2013 are down 1% compared to March 31, 2013 and up 5%, or $573.8 million compared to a year ago. At June 30, 2013, the deposit to loan ratio was 112.0% compared to 120.1% at December 31, 2012. Given the commercial focus of our core business strategy, a majority of our deposit base is comprised of corporate accounts which are typically larger than retail accounts and are heavily influenced by the cash positions of our commercial middle market clients, which will fluctuate based on their business needs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the primary source of the Company's revenue. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investments, and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings, which are used to fund those assets. Net interest income is affected by the volume, pricing, mix and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; the volume and value of non-interest-bearing sources of funds, such as noninterest-bearing deposits and equity; the use of derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk; the sensitivity of the balance sheet to fluctuations in interest rates, including characteristics such as fixed or variable nature of the financial instruments, contractual maturities, repricing frequencies, and loan repayment behavior; and asset quality.

Interest rate spread and net interest margin are utilized to measure and explain changes in net interest income. Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the rate paid for interest-bearing liabilities that fund those assets. Net interest margin is expressed as the percentage of net interest income to average interest-earning assets. The net interest margin exceeds the interest rate spread because noninterest-bearing sources of funds, principally noninterest-bearing demand deposits and equity, also support interest-earning assets.

The accounting policies underlying the recognition of interest income on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets are included in Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For purposes of this discussion, net interest income and any ratios or metrics that include net interest income as a component, such as net interest margin, have been adjusted to a fully tax-equivalent basis to more appropriately compare the returns on certain tax-exempt securities to those on taxable securities, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%. The effect of the tax-equivalent adjustment is presented at the bottom of the following table.

Table 2 summarizes the changes in our average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as the average interest rates earned and paid on these assets and liabilities, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The table also presents the trend in net interest margin on a quarterly basis for 2013 and 2012, including the tax-equivalent yields on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, Table 2 details variances in income and expense for each of the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and indicates the extent to which such variances are attributable to volume and rate changes.

For purposes of this table, changes which are not due solely to volume changes or rate changes are allocated to such categories in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each.
(2) 
Interest income included $6.3 million in loan fees for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
(3) 
Interest income and yields are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%.
(4) 
Average loans on a nonaccrual basis for the recognition of interest income totaled $125.3 million and $222.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in loans for purposes of this analysis. Interest foregone on impaired loans was estimated to be approximately $1.2 million and $2.3 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and was based on the average loan portfolio yield for the respective period.
(5) 
Covered interest-earning assets consist of loans acquired through a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") assisted transaction that are subject to a loss share agreement and the related indemnification asset. Refer to the section entitled "Covered Assets" for a detailed discussion.

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis declined $1.5 million, or 1%, to $104.5 million in the second quarter 2013 compared to $106.0 million for the second quarter 2012. Second quarter 2013 interest income was flat compared to the prior year period, as the benefit of $3.8 million in higher loan interest income was muted by declining interest income from securities and covered assets. Interest expense was up $1.8 million as compared to the prior period, due to $2.2 million in interest expense on $125.0 million of subordinated debt issued in October 2012 in connection with our repayment of TARP.

As shown in the table above, average interest-earning assets grew $719.8 million largely due to a $930.8 million increase in average commercial loan balances from the prior year period. The mix of our loan portfolio continued to shift toward commercial loans, which generally provide higher yields than our current commercial real estate lending. In comparison, average commercial real estate loans declined by $276.3 million from second quarter 2012. Average interest-bearing deposits grew $862.8 million from the prior year period due to increases in average interest-bearing demand deposits and money market accounts. Average short-term debt declined $77.7 million from the prior year period due to payoffs of short-term FHLB advances. Average long-term debt increased $120.3 million primarily due to the subordinated debt issuance mentioned above.

Net interest margin was 3.22% for the second quarter 2013, down 24 basis points from 3.46% for the second quarter 2012. Lower yields on loans, driven by competitive pricing pressures and the low interest rate environment, and securities reduced net interest margin as compared to the prior year quarter. Our cost of interest-bearing funds remained flat as compared to the second quarter 2012. While lower interest rates were paid on interest-bearing deposits, interest rates on long-term borrowings increased as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the subordinated debt issuance. Average noninterest-bearing deposits and average equity, our principal sources of noninterest-bearing funds, declined in total by $261.1 million from second quarter 2012. As shown in the table above, the effect of noninterest-bearing funds on net interest margin was two basis points lower than in the year ago period.

On a sequential quarter basis, net interest margin for second quarter 2013 of 3.22% increased three basis points from 3.19% for first quarter 2013. Second quarter 2013 net interest margin benefited from lower rates paid on deposits, the positive impact of higher loan yields due to greater loan fees compared to the prior quarter, and the release of excess liquidity at the end of the first quarter 2013. Net interest margin for the second quarter 2013 was impacted by a decline in investment yields and a slight reduction in noninterest-bearing deposits.

During second quarter 2013, medium to long-term interest rates rose; however, there was little beneficial impact on our loan yields. Variably priced loans comprise 94% of our total loan portfolio, with 63% indexed to one-month LIBOR, which fell from 20.4 basis points to 19.5 basis points during the quarter.

65



Our net interest margin has been affected by pricing compression resulting from heightened competition in our target markets and lower loan demand from our client in the uncertain economic climate. Competition and low interest rates are negatively affecting loan and investment yields, a trend likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Our strategy is to maintain a disciplined approach to pricing and structuring new credit opportunities. Given the competitive environment, this approach may result in a continuation of such loan yield compression and/or uneven loan growth over the course of a year. We do not anticipate significant benefit to net interest margin in the near term from downward repricing of deposits.

(1) 
For purposes of this table, changes which are not due solely to volume changes or rate changes are allocated to such categories in proportion to the absolute amounts of the change in each.
(2) 
Interest income included $11.5 million and $13.6 million in loan fees for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(3) 
Interest income and yields are presented on a tax-equivalent basis, assuming a federal income tax rate of 35%.
(4) 
Average loans on a nonaccrual basis totaled $131.5 million and $240.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in loans for purposes of this analysis. Interest foregone on nonperforming loans was estimated to be approximately $2.6 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, based on the average loan portfolio yield for the respective period.
(5) 
Covered interest-earning assets consist of loans acquired through a FDIC-assisted transaction that are subject to a loss share agreement and the related indemnification asset. Refer to the section entitled "Covered Assets" for a detailed discussion.

As shown in Table 3 net interest margin was 3.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 3.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Tax-equivalent net interest income declined $2.7 million to $208.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $211.1 million for the prior year period. The year-over-year decline in net interest income was primarily attributable to the $4.5 million in interest expense on subordinated debt issued in October 2012. The benefit provided by the $1.0 billion in growth in average securities and loans was offset by lower yields on securities and loans combined with less interest income earned on the covered asset portfolio primarily due to reduced loan balances.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses, excluding the provision for covered loans, totaled $8.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, down by over 50% from $17.4 million for the same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the provision for loan losses declined by 59%, totaling $18.5 million compared to $45.0 million for the same period in 2012. The provision for loan losses is a function of our allowance for loan loss methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance for inherent loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted. The current period provision benefited from continuing improvement in overall credit quality and the reduced requirement for specific reserves on a smaller population of impaired loans. Impaired loans were $170.0 million at June 30, 2013, down 45% from $307.0 million at June 30, 2012. In addition, the current period provision benefited from lower charge-offs. Net charge-offs totaled $14.1 million in the second quarter 2013, down 48% compared to $26.9 million for the same period in 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 net charge-offs declined nearly 50%, totaling $31.7 million compared to $62.3 million for the same period in 2012. For further analysis and information on how we determine the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses and analysis of credit quality, see "Critical Accounting Policies" and "Credit Quality Management and Allowance for Loan Losses."

Provision for covered loan losses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the provision for covered loan losses related to the loans purchased under the FDIC-assisted transaction loss share agreement totaled $534,000. In comparison, for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, we released a portion of our allowance for covered loan losses by $365,000, with a corresponding reduction in provision. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the provision for covered loan losses was $743,000, compared to a release of $299,000 of our allowance for covered loan losses for the prior year period. The provision for covered loan losses represents the 20% portion of expected losses on covered loans that would not be subject to reimbursement by the FDIC. For further information regarding the FDIC-assisted transaction, see "Covered Assets."

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income is derived from a number of sources related to our banking activities, including mortgage banking income, fees from our Trust and Investments business, the sale of derivative products to clients through our capital markets group, treasury management fees, loan and credit-related fees and syndication fees. The following table presents a break-out of these multiple sources of revenue.

Second quarter 2013 compared to second quarter 2012

Non-interest income for second quarter 2013 totaled $29.0 million, increasing $2.8 million, or 11%, compared to second quarter 2012. Fee revenue grew $2.3 million, or 9%, to $28.9 million, compared to second quarter 2012, with a higher CVA included in capital markets product revenue, larger treasury management fees and higher syndication fees contributing to the increase.

Assets under management and administration (“AUMA”) declined slightly to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2013 compared to $5.5 billion at March 31, 2013 primarily due to qualified custodian asset distribution and a market decline from the prior quarter. Core custody assets remained relatively flat compared to the prior quarter. Compared to the prior year second quarter, AUMA increased by $688.5 million, driven by increases to managed and core custody assets, partially offset by a reduction in AUMA due to the departure of two relationship managers from our investment management subsidiary in second quarter 2012. The pricing of trust and investment fees varies depending on the type of client assets we hold. Fees earned on "qualified custodian" and escrow assets are typically flat fees. They are significantly lower than fees recognized on standard custody and managed assets, which are generally based on a percentage of the market value of the assets on the last day of the prior quarter or month and are therefore subject to fluctuations with market changes.

Trust and investment fee revenue increased by $488,000, or 11%, from second quarter 2012. As trust and investment fees are primarily based on AUMA asset values in the prior quarter, the increase in AUMA of $319.1 million, or 6%, from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 supported the growth in trust and investment fee revenue.

Revenue from our mortgage banking business, which includes gains on loans sold and certain mortgage related loan fees, increased to $3.2 million, compared to $2.9 million for second quarter 2012. The current quarter increase is due to a higher volume of loan sales in the current quarter compared to the prior year comparative period. We sold $135.4 million of mortgage loans in the secondary market, generating gains of $2.8 million, in second quarter 2013 compared to $119.2 million of mortgage loans sold, generating gains of $2.6 million, in the prior year period. Purchase activity increased during second quarter 2013, while refinancing activity declined compared to the first quarter 2013. Refinance activity and application volumes will likely be negatively impacted given the rise in interest rates during the latter part of second quarter 2013.

Capital markets products income was $6.0 million for second quarter 2013 and second quarter 2012 and included a positive $1.9 million CVA compared to a negative CVA of $830,000 for the second quarter 2012. The CVA represents the credit component of fair value with regard to both client-based derivatives and the related matched derivatives with interbank dealer counterparties.

69


Exclusive of CVA, capital markets products income declined $2.7 million, or 39%, compared to second quarter 2012. The current period decline was attributable to a change in the mix in the type of transactions and a lower level of loan origination-related swap activity compared to the prior year quarter. Our capital markets business opportunities are sensitive to the level of loan originations and our clients' outlook on short-term interest rates.

Treasury management income increased $949,000, or 18%, from second quarter 2012. Revenue growth for these services is closely correlated with the acquisition of new middle market lending clients, though often subject to a three-to-six month implementation lag. The current quarter increase reflects the on-boarding of new clients as a result of ongoing cross-selling treasury management services to new commercial clients and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in our earnings credit rate (the rate applied to balances maintained in the client's deposit account to offset activity charges) in the latter part of 2012. Treasury management fees are also impacted by client choices regarding whether they pay the fees directly or through account analysis (i.e. earnings credit rate on the client's balances). During the first quarter 2013, certain clients changed their payment method, contributing to the increase.

Syndication fees increased $1.1 million or 56% from second quarter 2012. The current quarter increase is attributable to a greater amount of fees recognized on a higher volume of transactions as compared to the prior year quarter. Syndication fees tend to fluctuate period to period depending on market conditions, loan origination trends, and internal risk guidelines.

Deposit service charges and fees and other income declined $448,000 in second quarter 2013, or 27%, from second quarter 2012 primarily due to a $202,000 reserve for repurchased loans, as well as a $125,000 reduction in card-based interchange fees, which was attributable to new fee limits required under the Dodd-Frank Act.

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to six months ended June 30, 2012

Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $59.5 million, increasing 11% compared to $53.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, with growth in all major fee revenue categories excluding capital markets and loan, letter of credit and commitment fees. Excluding net securities gains, non-interest income increased $4.8 million, or 9%, to $58.7 million, compared to six months ended June 30, 2012.

Trust and investment fee revenue increased 8% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 due to improved market performance, new client relationships (which helped increase managed assets), and an increase to core custodial assets as compared to the prior year period, which offset the impact of the loss of fees within the Bank's investment management subsidiary following the departure of two relationship managers in second quarter 2012.

Revenue from our mortgage banking business increased 32% to $7.4 million in the current year to date period, compared to $5.6 million in the prior year period. The current year increase resulted from the completion of a higher volume of loan sales related to the peak application period in late 2012, driven by the low interest rate environment compared to the first six months in 2012. We sold $301.6 million of mortgage loans in the secondary market, generating gains of $6.2 million, in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $234.7 million of mortgage loans sold, generating gains of $5.0 million, for the prior year period.

Capital markets income declined $2.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 and included a positive $2.1 million CVA compared to a negative CVA of $811,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Exclusive of CVA adjustments, year-over-year capital markets income declined by $5.2 million, or 37%, to $9.0 million in the current period compared to $14.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012. The current period decline was attributable to fewer transactions, a change in the mix of the type of transactions, and a lower level of loan origination-related swap activity as compared to the prior year period.

Treasury management income increased $1.7 million, or 17%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. The current year increase reflected the on-boarding of new clients as a result of ongoing success in cross-selling treasury management services to new commercial clients, and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in our earnings credit rate in the latter part of 2012.

Syndication fees increased $2.8 million, or 67%, from the six months ended June 30, 2012. The current period increase is attributable to a greater amount of fees recognized on a higher volume of transactions and improved pricing from both planned and opportunistic transactions related to the high level of fourth quarter 2012 loan origination activity and deals in the first half of 2013.

Deposit service charges and fees and other income increased $456,000, or 15%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, due to the recognition of a $1.1 million gain on loan disposition recognized in the first quarter 2013, offset by a $244,000 reduction in card-based interchange fees attributable to new fee limits provided for under the Dodd-Frank Act and a $202,000 reserve for repurchased loans recognized during the first half of 2013.

Second quarter 2013 compared to second quarter 2012

Non-interest expense declined by $6.6 million, or 8%, for second quarter 2013 as compared to second quarter 2012 and was driven by reductions in net foreclosed property expense, share-based costs, and deposit insurance expense and were partially offset by $3.0 million in non-recurring charges recorded in other expenses.

Compensation expense declined overall by $2.3 million, or 6%, from second quarter 2012, due to a decline in share-based costs. Share-based costs declined by $2.0 million, or 38%, from second quarter 2012 due to certain share-based compensation awards made in 2007 and 2008 that were fully amortized in December 2012. The awards were made in connection with numerous new hires of key employees as part of our strategic transformation that we initiated in 2007. Expenses relating to such awards were $2.5 million in second quarter 2012. The related reduction in share-based costs in second quarter 2013 was partially offset by $1.1 million additional expense recognition relating to equity awards granted in February 2013 as part of the Company's 2012 annual incentive and 2013 long-term incentive programs.

Marketing expenses increased $637,000, or 21%, compared to second quarter 2012 as a result of our new advertising and branding campaign in the second quarter 2013, as well as higher client development costs.

71



Professional services expense, which includes fees paid for legal, accounting, and consulting services, declined $465,000, or 21%, from second quarter 2012, due to overall decrease in the use of consultants during second quarter 2013.

Net foreclosed property expense, which includes write-downs on foreclosed properties, gains and losses on sales of foreclosed properties, and property ownership costs associated with the maintenance of OREO, declined $6.3 million, or 53%, compared to second quarter 2012. The current quarter decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million reduction in OREO write-downs and a $1.6 million reduction in net losses on sales of OREO from the prior year quarter. Net gains on sale were $716,000 on $14.0 million of OREO sold in second quarter 2013, as compared to net losses of $906,000 on $14.4 million of OREO sold in second quarter 2012. In addition, property ownership costs, such as property management and real estate taxes, were down $1.2 million from the prior year quarter. As the number of OREO properties decline, we anticipate that net foreclosed property costs will decline further. Refer to the "Foreclosed Real Estate" discussion in the "Loan Portfolio and Credit Quality" section below for more information regarding our OREO portfolio and valuation process.

Insurance expense declined $1.4 million, or 34%, from second quarter 2012 primarily due to improving credit quality and deposit growth compared to levels at June 30, 2012, resulting in lower current quarter assessments.

Loan and collection expense, which consists of certain non-reimbursable costs associated with loan origination and servicing activities and loan remediation costs of problem loans, declined $638,000, or 22%, from second quarter 2012. The decline was primarily due to a $1.1 million decline in workout-related loan costs due to the overall reduction in nonperforming loans. For second quarter 2013, workout related loan costs represented 34% of total loan and collection expense, compared to 75% for the prior year period. Non-workout related costs primarily relate to costs incurred in connection with mortgage originations, which were greater during second quarter 2013 than the prior year period.

Other expenses increased $4.1 million, or 118%, from second quarter 2012. Other expenses include bank charges, costs associated with the CDARS® product offering, intangible asset amortization, education-related costs, subscriptions, provision for unfunded commitments, and miscellaneous losses and expenses. Other expenses for second quarter 2013 included non-recurring charges totaling $3.0 million, which was comprised of $2.0 million of restructuring costs associated with the vacating of excess space in Detroit area and the restructuring of our Atlanta operation, as well as a $1.0 million charge on repurchased loans. In addition to these non-recurring charges, we recorded a $467,000 provision for unfunded commitments in second quarter 2013, as compared to no provision for unfunded commitments in second quarter 2012.

Our efficiency ratio was 57.9% for second quarter 2013, improving from 63.4% for second quarter 2012.

Six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to six months ended June 30, 2012

Non-interest expense declined $7.9 million, or 5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, due to declines in net foreclosed property expense, share-based costs, and deposit insurance expenses. Other expenses were up due to several non-recurring charges and an increase in the provision for unfunded commitments from the prior year period.

Compensation expense declined overall by $1.9 million, or 2%, from the prior year period, benefiting from a decline in share-based costs. Share-based costs declined $3.7 million, or 38%, primarily due to certain share-based compensation awards made in 2007 and 2008 that were fully amortized in December 2012. Expenses relating to such awards were $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The related reduction in share-based costs in the first half of 2013 was partially offset by $1.7 million additional expense recognition relating to equity awards granted in February 2013 as part of the Company's 2012 annual incentive and 2013 long-term incentive programs. Incentive compensation, retirement costs and other employee benefits were up by $1.3 million, or 5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, principally due to higher incentive compensation related to improved Company performance on a higher FTE base and the inclusion of certain executives in the incentive program which were restricted in the prior year due to TARP incentive limitations.

Marketing expense increased $794,000, or 15%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period, due largely to our new advertising program to raise our corporate profile in 2013, as well as higher client development costs.

Professional services declined $523,000, or 12%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from the prior year period due to lower audit and accounting expense and an overall decrease in the use of consultants during the first half of 2013.

Net foreclosed property expenses declined $7.9 million, or 39%, compared to the prior year period. The decline in net foreclosed property expenses was primarily due to $3.1 million in lower valuation write-downs compared to the prior year period, as well as a decline in net loss on OREO sales. Net loss on sales of OREO was $48,000 on OREO with a net book value of $23.8 million

72


for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $3.1 million on OREO with a net book value of $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. In addition, property ownership costs, such as property management and real estate taxes, were down $1.9 million from the prior year period.

Insurance costs declined $3.2 million, or 37%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period and was primarily due to improving credit quality and deposit growth compared to levels at June 30, 2012, resulting in lower current year assessments. Also included in insurance costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $843,000 in refunds on previously paid deposit insurance assessments due to clarification of deposit classification rules under the assessment model.

Other expenses increased $6.1 million, or 80%, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period largely due to several non-recurring charges that were incurred during the first six months of 2013, including $2.0 million in restructuring costs and a $1.0 million charge on repurchased loans, as discussed above. In addition, our provision for losses on unfunded commitments was $2.2 million in the current year period compared with a $933,000 provision for unfunded commitments in the prior year period. Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 also included $597,000 in losses related to our CRA investments.

Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes includes both federal and state income tax expense. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we recorded an income tax provision of $17.7 million on pre-tax income of $46.6 million (equal to a 38.0% effective tax rate) compared to an income tax provision of $13.2 million on pre-tax income of $30.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 (equal to a 43.0% effective tax rate).

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, income tax expense totaled $34.6 million on pre-tax income of $90.8 million (equal to a 38.1% effective tax rate) compared to an income tax provision of $22.9 million on pre-tax income of $54.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 (equal to a 41.9% effective tax rate).

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the same periods in 2012, was primarily due to the restoration of tax benefits for executive compensation subsequent to the repayment of TARP, the absence of tax charges associated with share-based compensation and the negative impact in the 2012 periods of changes in state effective tax rates.

Net deferred tax assets totaled $97.3 million at June 30, 2013. We have concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized and no valuation allowance was recorded. This conclusion was based in part on the fact that the Company has cumulative book income for financial statement purposes at June 30, 2013, measured on a trailing three-year basis. In addition, we considered the Company's recent earnings history, on both a book and tax basis, and our outlook for earnings and taxable income in future periods.

At June 30, 2013, we had approximately $13.6 million of deferred tax assets that relate to equity compensation awards, including both unexercised stock options and unvested restricted shares. In certain cases, the deferred tax assets may not be fully realized in future periods primarily due to stock price valuation. Currently, most of our stock options are "out of the money" with an exercise price above our current stock price. Depending in part on changes in our stock price, we could incur tax charges at the expiration date of the options or prior to that time if employees terminate and "out-of-the money" options expire, or in certain instances, when employees exercise options. In the case of restricted shares, the tax benefits will not be fully realized if the fair market value of the awards on the vesting/release date is less than the value of the awards on the grant date.

In such circumstances where there is a "shortfall" in tax benefits on the exercise, vesting or expiration of an equity award, such "shortfall" amounts are charged to stockholders' equity if there is a sufficient level of "excess" tax benefits accumulated from prior periods or charged to income tax expense if there is not sufficient "excess" tax benefits accumulated. We did not record any charges to income tax expense as a result of equity award transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Based on our current stock price level, scheduled vesting of restricted shares and anticipated option expirations, we do not expect to incur material equity compensation "shortfall" tax charges in 2013. However, the amount of such "shortfall" charges in 2013 and subsequent periods, if any, is dependent on changes in our stock price as well as the impact of employee terminations, option exercise decisions and other factors.

For calendar year 2013, we currently expect the effective tax rate to be in the range of 38-39%, although a number of factors will continue to influence that estimate.

Operating Segments Results

We have three primary business segments: Banking, Trust and Investments, and Holding Company Activities.

Banking

Our Banking segment is the Company's most significant segment, as it represents 89% of consolidated total assets and generates nearly all of the Company's net income. The profitability of our Banking segment is dependent on net interest income, provision for loan and covered loan losses, non-interest income, and non-interest expense. The net income for the Banking segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was $34.5 million, an increase of $9.2 million from net income of $25.3 million for the prior year period. The increase in net income for the Banking segment was primarily due to a $8.2 million decline in the provision for loan losses from the prior period, largely driven by continuing improvement in credit quality and the reduced requirement for specific reserves on a smaller population of impaired loans.

Total loans for the Banking segment were $10.1 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Total deposits declined from December 31, 2012 levels of $12.3 billion to $11.4 billion at June 30, 2013.

Trust and Investments

The Trust and Investments segment includes investment management, personal trust and estate administration, custodial and escrow, retirement account administration, and brokerage services. Lodestar Investment Counsel, LLC ("Lodestar"), an investment management firm and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, is included in our Trust and Investments segment.

Net income from Trust and Investments increased to $580,000 for second quarter 2013 from $346,000 for the prior year period. The increase in net income from 2012 to 2013 is primarily attributable to higher non-interest income of $488,000 compared to second quarter 2012 largely due to continued client acquisition over the past year, offset by the loss of certain clients from our investment advisory subsidiary, related to the departure of two relationship managers in mid-2012. Overall stock market improvements also helped to increase the level of those Trust and Investments fees that are based on the market value of assets. AUMA grew to $5.4 billion at June 30, 2013 from $5.2 billion at December 31, 2012 primarily due to new client relationships and improved market performance during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Holding Company Activities

The Holding Company Activities segment consists of parent company-only activity and intersegment eliminations. The Holding Company’s most significant asset is its investment in its bank subsidiary. Undistributed earnings relating to this investment is not included in the Holding Company financial results. Holding Company financial results are represented primarily by interest expense on borrowings and operating expenses. Recurring operating expenses consist primarily of compensation expense allocated to the Holding Company and professional fees. The Holding Company Activities segment reported a net loss of $6.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to a net loss of $8.1 million for the prior year period. The lower net loss in the second quarter 2013 as compared to the prior year period was the result of a $2.5 million decline in share-based costs, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in interest expense, due to subordinated debt issued in October 2012.

Additional information about our operating segments are also discussed in Note 17 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Investment Portfolio Management

We manage our investment portfolio to maximize the return on invested funds within acceptable risk guidelines, to meet pledging and liquidity requirements, and to adjust balance sheet interest rate sensitivity to attempt to serve as some protection of net interest income levels against the impact of changes in interest rates.

We may adjust the size and composition of our securities portfolio according to a number of factors, including expected liquidity needs, the current and forecasted interest rate environment, our actual and anticipated balance sheet growth rate, the relative value of various segments of the securities markets, and the broader economic and regulatory environment.

Investments are comprised of debt securities. Our debt securities portfolio is primarily comprised of U.S Treasury and Agency securities, residential and commercial mortgage-backed pools, collateralized mortgage obligations, and state and municipal bonds.

74



Debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value and may be sold as part of our asset/liability management strategy in response to changes in interest rates, liquidity needs or significant prepayment risk. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities represent the difference between the aggregated cost and fair value of the portfolio and are reported, on an after-tax basis, as a separate component of equity in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). This balance sheet component will fluctuate as current market interest rates and conditions change, with such changes affecting the aggregate fair value of the portfolio. In periods of significant market volatility we may experience significant changes in AOCI. AOCI is not currently included in the calculation of regulatory capital but its inclusion is contemplated in the proposed changes in capital standards.

Debt securities that are classified as held-to-maturity are securities that we have the ability and intent to hold until maturity and are accounted for using historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.

As of June 30, 2013, our securities portfolio totaled $2.5 billion, an increase from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, purchases of securities totaled $576.5 million, with $415.7 million in the available-for-sale portfolio and $160.8 million in the held-to-maturity portfolio. The current year purchases in the investment portfolio primarily represent the reinvestment of proceeds from sales, maturities and paydowns in largely similar agency guaranteed residential mortgage-backed securities, as well as purchases of commercial agency guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, U.S. Treasury and Agency securities and state and municipal securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold $50.1 million in U.S. Treasury securities and $2.0 million in tax-exempt municipal securities, resulting in a net securities gain of $777,000.

Investments in collateralized mortgage obligations and residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities comprise 81% of the total portfolio at June 30, 2013. All of the mortgage securities are backed by U.S. Government agencies or issued by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises. All residential mortgage securities are composed of fixed-rate, fully-amortizing collateral with final maturities of 30 years or less.

Investments in debt instruments of state and local municipalities comprised 10% of the total portfolio at June 30, 2013. This type of security has historically experienced very low default rates and provided a predictable cash flow since it generally is not subject to significant prepayment. Insurance companies regularly provide credit enhancement to improve the credit rating and liquidity

75


of a municipal bond issuance. Management considers the credit enhancement and underlying municipality credit strength when evaluating a purchase or sale decision.

At June 30, 2013, our reported equity reflected unrealized net securities gains on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, of $16.5 million, declining $25.7 million from December 31, 2012 due to increases in certain interest rates. We continue to add, as needed, to the held-to-maturity portfolio to mitigate the potential future AOCI volatility of adding bonds to the available-for-sale portfolio in a low interest rate environment.

The following table summarizes activity in the Company's investment securities portfolio during 2013. There were no transfers of securities between investment categories during the year.

LOAN PORTFOLIO AND CREDIT QUALITY (excluding covered assets)

Portfolio Composition

The following discussion of our loan portfolio and credit quality excludes covered assets. Covered assets represent assets acquired through an FDIC-assisted transaction that are subject to a loss share agreement and are presented separately on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. For additional discussion of covered assets, refer to "Covered Assets" further in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis" and Note 6 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."

Total loans were $10.1 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. We disposed of $33.2 million in problem loans during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and revolving line usage was 45%, consistent with usage at December 31, 2012.

Overall loan demand is being impacted by both demand from our clients and competition in our markets. In addition, heightened competition is impacting both pricing and structure as our target middle market commercial client base is also being targeted by competition in our core markets. Our strategy is to maintain a disciplined approach to pricing and structuring new credit opportunities. Given the competitive environment, this approach may result in uneven loan growth over the course of a year.


77



Commercial loans (including commercial owner-occupied real estate loans) increased $164.7 million, or 3%, from the prior year end. The mix of loans continued to shift towards commercial loans, which generally provide us higher yields than other segments of our total loan portfolio and greater potential for cross-selling of other products and services. As a proportion of the loan portfolio, commercial loans were 66% at June 30, 2013, compared to 64% at December 31, 2012.

In the normal course of our business, we participate in loan transactions that involve a number of banks, primarily to maintain and build client relationships with a view to cross-selling products and originating loans for the borrowers in the future. Although we may strive to lead or co-lead the arrangement, we will also participate with other banks when we have a relationship with the borrower. Participations and syndications assist us with decreasing credit exposure linked to individual client relationships or loan concentrations by industry, type or size. Of our $10.1 billion in total loans at June 30, 2013, we were party to syndications and participations totaling $1.8 billion which were led or agented by other banks (including both shared national credits ("SNCs") and non-SNCs) and, of that, $1.4 billion met the definition of SNC. We earn fees and interest income on our pro-rata portion of these loans.

The following table presents the composition of our loan portfolio at the dates shown.

The following table summarizes the composition of our commercial loan portfolio at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Our commercial loan portfolio is categorized based on our most significant industry segments, as classified pursuant to the North American Industrial Classification System standard industry description. These categories are based on the nature of the client's ongoing business activity as opposed to the collateral underlying an individual loan. To the extent that a client's underlying business activity changes, classification differences between periods will arise.

One of the largest segments within our commercial lending business is the healthcare industry. We have a specialized niche in the "assisted living," "skilled nursing," and residential care segment of the healthcare industry. Loan relationships to these providers tend to be larger extensions of credit and are primarily to for-profit businesses. At June 30, 2013, 23% of the commercial loan portfolio and 15% of the total loan portfolio was composed of loans extended primarily to operators in this segment to finance the working capital needs and cost of facilities providing such services. The facilities securing the loans are dependent, in part, on the receipt of payments and reimbursements under government contracts for services provided. Our clients and their ability to service debt may be adversely impacted by the financial health of state or federal payors and the ability of government entities, many of which have experienced budgetary stress in the current economic environment, to make payments for services previously provided. At June 30, 2013, approximately $303 million related to facilities doing business in Illinois and $214 million to facilities doing business in California, two states which have experienced budgetary stress. To date, this loan portfolio segment has experienced minimal defaults and losses.

At June 30, 2013, approximately 10%, or $684 million of our commercial loan portfolio was characterized as cash flow loans. Cash flow loans are primarily underwritten on the recurring earnings and cash flow of the borrower with less reliance on physical collateral coverage. In general, cash flow loans typically exhibit similar leverage levels as our borrowers in the broader commercial loan portfolio and are spread across multiple industries with approximately 37% of the total in the Manufacturing segment at June 30, 2013. Our definition of cash flow loans may differ from that of other financial institutions and from the regulatory definition of higher-risk commercial and industrial loans.

Of the combined commercial real estate and construction portfolios, the two largest categories at June 30, 2013 were office real estate and multi-family, which each represent 21% of the combined portfolios.

Within the commercial real estate portfolio, our exposure to land loans totaled $196.8 million at June 30, 2013 and $240.5 million at December 31, 2012. Land remains an illiquid asset class as buyers and sellers may hold divergent future development outlooks for the land, therefore affecting saleability and market prices. As a percentage of the commercial real estate portfolio, land loans were 8% at June 30, 2013 and 9% at December 31, 2012.

Delinquent Loans, Special Mention and Potential Problem Loans, Restructured Loans and Nonperforming Assets

Loans are reported delinquent if the required principal and interest payments have not been received within 30 days of the date such payments are due. Delinquency can be driven by either failure of the borrower to make payments within the term of the loan or failure to make the final payment at maturity. The majority of our loans are not fully amortizing over the term. As a result, a sizeable final repayment is often required at maturity. If a borrower lacks refinancing options or the ability to pay, the loan may become delinquent in connection with its maturity. Table 13 provides information on current, delinquent and nonaccrual loans by product type. Of total commercial, commercial real estate, and construction loans outstanding at June 30, 2013, $860.0 million are scheduled to mature in the third quarter of 2013, 98% of which were performing.

Loans considered special mention are performing in accordance with the contractual terms but demonstrate potential weakness that if left unresolved, may result in deterioration in the Company’s credit position and/or the repayment prospects for the credit. Borrowers rated special mention may exhibit adverse operating trends, high leverage, tight liquidity, or other credit concerns. These loans continue to accrue interest.

Potential problem loans, like special mention, are loans that are performing in accordance with contractual terms, but for which management has some level of concern (greater than that of special mention loans) about the ability of the borrowers to meet existing repayment terms in future periods. These loans continue to accrue interest but the ultimate collection of these loans in full is questionable due to the same conditions that characterize a special mention credit. These credits may also have somewhat increased risk profiles as a result of the current net worth and/or paying capacity of the obligor or guarantors or the collateral pledged. These loans generally have a well-defined weakness that may jeopardize collection of the debt and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company may sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not resolved. Although potential problem loans require additional attention by management, they may never become nonperforming.

Special mention and potential problem loans as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are presented in Tables 14 and 19.

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans and real estate that has been acquired primarily through foreclosure proceedings and are awaiting disposition and are presented in Table 14. Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual loans, including restructured loans that remain on nonaccrual. We specifically exclude certain restructured loans that accrue interest from our definition of nonperforming loans.

All loans are placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest payments become 90 days past due or earlier if management deems the collectibility of the principal or interest to be in question prior to the loans becoming 90 days past due. When interest accruals are discontinued, accrued but uncollected interest is reversed, reducing interest income. Subsequent receipts on nonaccrual loans are recorded in the financial statements as a reduction of principal, and interest income is only recorded on a cash basis if the remaining recorded investment after charge-offs is deemed fully collectible. Classification of a loan as nonaccrual does not necessarily preclude the ultimate collection of loan principal and/or interest. Nonperforming loans are presented in Tables 14, 15, 16, and 19. Restructured loans that are accruing interest are also included in Table 14.

As part of our ongoing risk management practices and in certain circumstances, we may extend or modify the terms of a loan to maximize the collection of amounts due when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. The modification may consist of reduction in interest rate, extension of the maturity date, reduction in the principal balance, or other action intended to minimize potential losses and maximize our chances of a more successful recovery on a troubled loan. When we make such concessions as part of a modification, we report the loan as a TDR and account for the interest due in accordance with our TDR policy. Restructured loans can involve loans remaining on nonaccrual, moving to nonaccrual, or continuing on accrual status, depending on the individual facts and circumstances of the borrower. The TDR is classified as an accruing TDR if the borrower has demonstrated the ability to meet the new terms of the restructuring as evidenced by a minimum of six months of performance in compliance with the restructured terms or if the borrower's performance prior to the restructuring or other significant events at the time of the restructuring supports returning or maintaining the loan on accrual status. TDRs accrue interest as long as the borrower complies with the revised terms and conditions and management is reasonably assured as to the collectibility of principal and interest; otherwise, the restructured loan will be classified as nonaccrual. The TDR classification is removed when the loan is either fully repaid or is re-underwritten at market terms and an evaluation of the loan determines that it does not meet the definition of a TDR under current accounting guidance (i.e., the new terms do not represent a concession, the borrower is no longer experiencing financial difficulty, and the re-underwriting is executed at current market terms for new debt with similar risk). The composition of our restructured loans by loan category, current period activity and size stratification is presented in Tables 14, 17 and 18.

As part of our restructuring strategies, we may utilize a multiple note structure as a workout alternative for certain loans. The multiple note structure typically bifurcates a troubled loan into two separate notes, where the first note is reasonably assured of repayment and performance according to the modified terms, and the second note of the troubled loan that is not reasonably assured of repayment is charged-off.

Aside from the decision to restructure a loan, thereby increasing our outstanding TDRs, changes in the level of TDRs from period to period may be impacted by both favorable and unfavorable developments associated with the respective TDR. Favorable developments include payoffs at par, paydowns of principal earlier than expected and regular amortizing payments. In addition, certain TDRs may be subsequently re-underwritten as pass-rated credits typically due to the strengthened financial condition of the borrower, which is evidence that the borrower would no longer be considered "troubled" and, accordingly, the TDR classification is removed. Unfavorable developments include performance deterioration in the borrower's operations, which can cause the loan's classification to be changed to nonperforming and removed from the accruing TDR portfolio.

Foreclosed assets represent property acquired as the result of borrower defaults on loans secured by a mortgage on real property. Foreclosed assets are recorded at the lesser of current carrying value or estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs at the time of foreclosure. Write-downs occurring at foreclosure are charged against the allowance for loan losses. On a periodic basis, the carrying values of these properties are adjusted based upon new appraisals and/or market indications. Write-downs are recorded for subsequent declines in fair value less estimated selling costs and are included in non-interest expense along with other expenses related to maintaining the properties. Additional information on our OREO assets is presented in Tables 20 through 22.

During second quarter 2013, overall asset quality continued to improve with nonperforming assets declining 19% from the prior year end to $178.9 million at June 30, 2013. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets were 1.33% at June 30, 2013, down from 1.57% at December 31, 2012.

Nonperforming loans totaled $121.8 million at June 30, 2013, down 12% from $138.8 million at December 31, 2012. Inflows to nonperforming loans of $26.2 million in second quarter 2013 were down $5.1 million from first quarter 2013 and down $31.5 million from second quarter 2012. As shown in Table 15, second quarter 2013 nonperforming loan inflows were more than offset by problem loan resolutions (paydowns, payoffs, and return to accruing status), dispositions, and charge-offs.


82


Our nonperforming loan population contains some larger-sized credits. As shown in Table 16, which provides the nonperforming loan stratification by size, five nonperforming loans in excess of $5.0 million comprised 42% of our total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2013.

OREO declined $24.7 million, or 30%, from December 31, 2012, as sales and valuation adjustments exceeded inflows to OREO. Refer to "Foreclosed Real Estate" below for further discussion on OREO.

During the first six months of 2013, we used a variety of resolution strategies, including asset sales, which reduced special mention, potential problem loan and nonperforming assets from 2012 year end. Disposition activity during the six months ended June 30, 2013 included the disposition of $57.0 million in problem assets, including $32.8 million in nonperforming loans, $418,000 in early stage problem loans, and $23.8 million in OREO. Our asset management activities, along with a slowly improving economy and some asset price stability in certain market segments, have led to declines in problem loans (which include special mention, potential problem, and nonperforming loans) of 9% from $343.5 million at December 31, 2012 to $311.8 million at June 30, 2013.

We have been generally consistent to date in our principal approach to disposing distressed assets, typically utilizing direct sales to end-users or other parties interested in particular assets. We have sourced dispositions opportunistically, limiting the use of brokered or pooled transactions.

Accruing TDRs totaled $48.3 million at June 30, 2013, decreasing $12.7 million from $61.0 million at December 31, 2012. As presented in the accruing TDR rollforward at Table 17, the primary reason for the decline was due to $14.9 million of accruing TDRs moving to nonperforming loan status during the first quarter 2013, of which $8.8 million related to a single borrower and was restructured in fourth quarter 2011.

We expect continued progress in reducing nonperforming assets through the execution of workout programs and the disposition of problem assets. Because our loan portfolio contains loans that may be larger in size in order to accommodate the financing needs of some of our borrowers, and as the nonperforming credit portfolio approaches levels consistent with peers, changes in the performance of larger credits could create volatility in our credit quality metrics, including nonperforming loans and accruing TDR loans as discussed above. In addition, credit quality trends may also be impacted by uncertainty in global economic conditions and market turmoil that could disrupt workout plans, adversely affect clients, or negatively impact collateral valuations.

Our efforts to continue to dispose of nonperforming assets and problem loans in future quarters may be impacted by a number of factors, including but not limited to, the pace and timing of the overall recovery of the economy, activity in the commercial and industrial transaction market, activity levels in the real estate market and real estate inventory coming into the market for sale. We continue to assess the disposition market, seeking to maximize liquidation proceeds of the individual assets sold. In addition, we will continue to use various other strategies mentioned above, including restructuring, that are consistent with our goal of maximizing economic recovery on our assets. In cases where we participate in a larger loan for which we are not the agent, our ability to pursue our preferred resolution strategy may be limited based on the voting rights of the participating banks. Losses as a percent of net book value on sales of OREO property may fluctuate or increase in future quarters if we choose to change our strategy on individual or larger group dispositions of properties based on individual property characteristics and relevant market factors as part of our overall strategy of maximizing recovery from OREO.

Amounts represent loan balances as of the end of the month in which loans were classified as new restructured loans accruing interest.
(2) 
This amount includes two TDRs totaling $5.3 million that were restructured within the past four quarters, while the remaining balance pertains to TDRs that were restructured prior to that time period.
(3) 
For the five quarters presented, the Company re-underwrote eight loans totaling $23.3 million that, at the time of re-underwriting, were at market term and an evaluation of the loans determined that they did not meet the definition of a TDR under current accounting guidance because the loans qualified as pass-rated credits due to the strengthened financial condition of the borrowers. Seven of the eight loans, with an aggregate loan balance of $22.4 million, were re-underwritten in conjunction with the loan maturity. None of the eight loans had principal or interest forgiveness at the time the loan was originally classified as a TDR.

As shown above in Table 19, during the second quarter 2013 we reduced the level of total problem loans (special mention, potential problem and nonperforming loans), with an overall reduction of 9% from December 31, 2012.

Foreclosed real estate

OREO is carried at the lower of the recorded investment in the loan at the time of acquisition or the fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs. The decision to foreclose on real property collateral is based on a number of factors, including but not limited to: our determination of the probable success of further collection from the borrower, location of the property, borrower attention to the property's maintenance and condition, and other factors unique to the situation and asset. In all cases, the decision to foreclose represents management's judgment that ownership of the property will likely result in the best repayment and collection potential on the nonperforming exposure. Updated appraisals on OREO are typically obtained every twelve months and evaluated internally at least every six months. In addition, both property-specific and market-specific factors as well as collateral-type factors are taken into consideration in assessing property valuation, which may result in obtaining more frequent appraisal updates or internal assessments.

OREO totaled $57.1 million at June 30, 2013, down 30% from $81.9 million at December 31, 2012, with inflows into OREO more than offset by sales and valuation adjustments during the six-month period. During the second quarter 2013, we sold OREO with a net book value of $14.0 million at a gain of $716,000, or 5% of the net book value. Valuation adjustments on OREO for the second quarter 2013 were $6.1 million, down $3.1 million from second quarter 2012, due in part to writedowns taken against properties under contract and expected to close by the end of the year. At June 30, 2013, OREO land parcels, currently a fairly illiquid asset class, represented the largest portion of OREO at 44%, with more than half of this OREO located in Illinois. Office/industrial properties, the next largest OREO asset class, represented 27% of the total OREO.

OREO is likely to remain elevated from historic levels as nonperforming commercial real estate loans continue to move through the collection process. We continue to assess the disposition market, seeking to maximize liquidation proceeds of the individual

91


assets sold. Losses as a percent of net book value on sales of OREO property may fluctuate or increase in future quarters if we choose to change our strategy on individual or larger group dispositions of properties based on individual property characteristics and relevant market factors as part of our overall strategy of maximizing recovery value from OREO.

Credit Quality Management and Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level management believes is sufficient to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is assessed quarterly and represents an accounting estimate of probable losses in the portfolio at each balance sheet date based on a review of available and relevant information at that time. The allowance is not a prediction of our actual credit losses going forward. The allowance contains provisions for probable losses that have been identified relating to specific borrowing relationships that are considered to be impaired (the "specific component" of the allowance), as well as probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio that are not specifically identified (the "general allocated component" of the allowance), which is determined using a methodology that is a function of quantitative and qualitative factors and management judgment applied to defined segments of our loan portfolio.

The specific component of the allowance relates to impaired loans. Impaired loans consist of nonaccrual loans (which include nonaccrual TDRs) and loans classified as accruing TDRs. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, management believes that either it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or it has been classified as a TDR. All loans that are over 90 days past due in principal or interest are placed on nonaccrual status. Management may also place some loans on nonaccrual status before they are 90 days past due if they meet the above definition of "nonaccrual." Once a loan is determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on the loan’s observable fair value, the fair value of the underlying collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral-dependent, or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Impaired loans exceeding $500,000 are evaluated individually while smaller loans are evaluated as pools using historical loss experience as well as management’s loss expectations for the respective asset class and product type. If the estimated fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net of deferred loan fees and costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized by creating a specific reserve as a component of the allowance for loan losses. The recognition of any reserve required on new impaired loans is recorded in the same quarter in which the transfer of the loan to nonaccrual status occurred. All impaired loans are reviewed quarterly for any changes that would affect the specific reserve. Any impaired loan in which a determination has been made that the economic value is permanently reduced

93


is charged-off against the allowance for loan losses to reflect its current economic value in the period in which the determination has been made.

At the time a collateral-dependent loan is initially determined to be impaired, we review the existing collateral appraisal. If the most recent appraisal is greater than one year old, a new appraisal is obtained on the underlying collateral. The Company generally obtains "as is" appraisal values for use in the evaluation of collateral-dependent impaired loans. Appraisals for collateral-dependent impaired loans in excess of $500,000 are updated with new independent appraisals at least annually and are formally reviewed by our internal appraisal department. Additional diligence is also performed at the six-month interval between annual appraisals. If during the course of the six-month review process there is evidence supporting a meaningful decline in the value of collateral, the appraised value is either internally adjusted downward or a new appraisal is required to support the value of the impaired loan.

In addition to the appraisal, both borrower and market-specific factors are taken into consideration, which may result in obtaining more frequent appraisal updates or internal assessments. Appraisals are conducted by third-party independent appraisers under internal direction and engagement. Appraisals are either reviewed internally by our appraisal department or are sent to an outside firm if appropriate. Both levels of review involve a scope appropriate for the complexity and risk associated with the loan and its collateral. As part of our internal review process, we consider other factors or recent developments that could adjust the valuations indicated in the appraisals or internal reviews. To validate the reasonableness of the appraisals obtained, we may consider many factors, including a comparison of the appraised value to the actual sales price of similar properties, relevant comparable sale price listings, broker opinions, and local or regional real estate valuation and sales data.

As of June 30, 2013, the average appraisal age used in the impaired loan valuation process was 169 days. The amount of impaired assets which, by policy, requires an independent appraisal, but does not have a current external appraisal at June 30, 2013 due to the timing of the receipt of the appraisal is not material. In situations such as this, we establish a probable impairment reserve for the account based on our experience in the related asset class and type.

The general allocated component of the allowance is determined using a methodology that is a function of quantitative and qualitative factors applied to segments of our loan portfolio. The methodology takes into account at a product level originating line of business (transformational or legacy), year of origination, the risk-rating migration of the loans, and historical default and loss history of similar products. Using this information, the methodology produces a range of possible reserve amounts by product type. We consider the appropriate balance of the general allocated component of the reserve within these ranges based on a variety of internal and external quantitative and qualitative factors to reflect data or timeframes not captured by the model as well as market and economic data and management judgment. We consider relevant factors related to individual product types and will also consider, when appropriate, changes in lending practices, changes in business or economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of loans, changes in staffing or management, changes in the quality of our results from loan reviews, changes in collateral values, concentration risks, and other external factors such as legal or regulatory matters relevant to management’s assessment of required reserve levels. In certain instances, these additional factors and judgments may lead to management’s conclusion that the appropriate level of the reserve is outside the range determined through the framework with respect to a given product type.

The Bank has limited exposure with a related junior collateral position in any product type with the exception of home equity lines of credit ("HELOCs"). This product is by definition usually secured in the junior position to the first mortgage on the related property. The Bank evaluates the allowance for loan losses for HELOCs as one of our six primary, segregated product types and considers the potential impact of the junior security position (as opposed to our generally senior position in all other product types) in setting final allocated reserve amounts for this product. Our allowance reflects the performance and loss history unique to our portfolio.

In our evaluation of the quantitatively-determined range and the adequacy of the allowance at June 30, 2013, we considered a number of factors for each product that included, but were not limited to, the following:

for the commercial portfolio, the pace of growth in the commercial loan sector, the existence of larger individual credits and specialized industry concentrations, the average age of the loans in the portfolio, comparison of our default rates to overall U.S. industry averages at industry subsets, default emergence from recent years compared to earlier, more stressed periods, results of "back testing" of model results versus actual recent charge-off history, nonperforming loan inflows and other portfolio trends, as well as general macroeconomic indicators, such as GDP, employment trends and manufacturing activity, which still are susceptible to sustainability risk;
for the commercial real estate portfolio, the potential impact of general commercial real estate trends, particularly occupancy and leasing rate trends, charge-off severity, nonperforming loan inflows, default likelihood in our book versus the general U.S. averages, default emergence from recent years compared to earlier, more stressed periods, results of

94


"back testing" of model results versus recent charge-off history, collateral value changes in commercial real estate, and the impact that a negative general macroeconomic condition could have on this sector;
for the construction portfolio, construction employment, industry experience on construction loan losses, and construction spending rates;
and for the residential, home equity, and personal portfolios, home price indices and delinquency rates, and general economic conditions which impact these products.

In determining our June 30, 2013 reserve levels, we established a general reserve level which was higher than our model's output range, in total, but still lower than our general reserve levels at both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. This judgment was influenced primarily by recent indicators in our transformational commercial portfolio, specifically (i) increased inflows into the criticized and non-performing loan categories, (ii) the higher dollar value of these loans which can cause volatility, (iii) the impact of competition on loan structures and (iv) the recent quarter's increases in covenant default rates in certain segments of the commercial and industrial portfolio. While covenant defaults are not necessarily indicative of future loan defaults, management monitors such breaches to determine loan performance trends. At the same time, management's qualitative upward adjustment to the model output with respect to the transformational commercial real estate portfolio decreased from prior periods as a result of improving portfolio attributes (including a decrease in weighted average risk rating, loss given default and criticized and non-performing loan inflows) and improvement evident in the commercial real estate markets.

Management also considers the amount and characteristics of the accruing TDRs removed from the general allocation reserve formulas in establishing final reserve requirements.

The establishment of the allowance for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment and includes an inherent level of imprecision given the difficulty of identifying all the factors impacting loan repayment and the timing of when losses actually occur. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, client performance, the economy, changes in interest rates and property values, and the interpretation by regulatory authorities of loan classifications.

Although we determine the amount of each element of the allowance separately and consider this process to be an important credit management tool, the entire allowance for loan losses is available for the entire loan portfolio.

Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and reviews the allowance for loan losses and the underlying methodology with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors quarterly. As of June 30, 2013, management concluded the allowance for loan losses was adequate (i.e., sufficient to absorb losses that are inherent in the portfolio at that date, including those loans not yet identifiable).

As an integral part of their examination process, various federal and state regulatory agencies also review the allowance for loan losses. These agencies may require that certain loan balances be classified differently or charged off when their credit evaluations differ from those of management, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The accounting policies underlying the establishment and maintenance of the allowance for loan losses through provisions charged to operating expense are discussed more fully in Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Charge-offs declined to $15.0 million for the second quarter 2013, from $33.9 million for the year ago period and $19.5 million for the prior quarter. Commercial and commercial real estate comprised 74% of total charge-offs in the second quarter 2013, reflecting the concentration of the overall loan portfolio in these product types and the challenging market conditions associated with these loan types. Of total charge-offs for second quarter 2013, $10.4 million related to seven borrowers, of which $6.7 million related to legacy loans and were primarily commercial real estate. The remaining $3.7 million primarily related to a single commercial real estate loan in the transformational portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses declined $13.2 million to $148.2 million at June 30, 2013 from $161.4 million at December 31, 2012. The decline in the overall allowance from December 31, 2012 was primarily driven by a 25% reduction in specific reserves due to declining impaired loans and, to a lesser extent, the rotation of the loan portfolio mix into commercial and industrial. As a result of these factors, the provision for loan losses for the quarter declined to $8.3 million compared to $10.1 million for the prior quarter and $17.4 million for second quarter 2012. The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio was 1.47% at June 30, 2013, down from 1.59% as of December 31, 2012. There is no assurance that the balance of the allowance for loan losses will continue to decline in coming quarters.

Under our methodology, the allowance for loan losses is comprised of the following components:

General Allocated Component of the Allowance

The general allocated component of the allowance decreased by $2.5 million during the six month period, from $118.0 million at December 31, 2012 to $115.5 million at June 30, 2013, but remained relatively flat as a percentage of total loans at the respective period ends. The reduction in the general allocated reserve was primarily influenced by the improved risk profile of the performing portfolio during the period, which reflected rotation of the portfolio mix into commercial and industrial, a portfolio with a stronger risk profile despite the impact of recent seasoning. In addition, lower loss rates are being applied to a larger proportion of the total loan portfolio as the portfolio is becoming more weighted in transformational loans and less weighted in legacy loans, where historical performance has been weaker. This changing mix has resulted in lower loss rates applied to a larger portion of the total loan portfolio which positively impacts reserve requirements.

Specific Component of the Allowance

At June 30, 2013, the specific component of the allowance decreased by $10.7 million to $32.7 million from $43.4 million at December 31, 2012. The specific reserve requirements are the summation of individual reserves analyzed on an account by account basis at the balance sheet date on impaired loans, which are largely influenced by collateral values. Our impaired loans are primarily collateral-dependent with such loans totaling $152.9 million of the total $170.0 million in impaired loans at June 30, 2013. As a result of a lower level of nonperforming loans, the related reserves have declined in six months ended June 30, 2013.

In addition to the allowance for loan losses, we maintain a reserve for unfunded commitments at a level we believe to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable losses related to unfunded credit facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, our reserve for unfunded commitments increased $2.2 million from December 31, 2012 to $9.5 million with $1.7 million related to a specific problem credit. The balance of the increase resulted from higher unfunded commitment levels and an increase in the likelihood of certain product categories to draw on unused lines. Net adjustments to the reserve for unfunded commitments are included in other non-interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Unfunded commitments, excluding covered assets, totaled $4.7 billion and $4.6 billion at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2013, unfunded commitments with maturities of less than one year approximated $1.5 billion. For further information on our unfunded commitments, refer to Note 15 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

COVERED ASSETS

Covered assets represent purchased loans and foreclosed loan collateral covered under a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC as a result of the 2009 FDIC-assisted acquisition of the former Founders Bank from the FDIC. Under the loss share agreement, generally the FDIC will assume 80% of the first $173 million of credit losses and 95% of the credit losses in excess of $173 million, in both cases relating to assets that existed on the date of acquisition. The loss share agreement expires on September 30, 2014 for non-residential mortgage loans and September 30, 2019 for residential mortgage loans.

The carrying amounts of covered assets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are presented in the following table.

Total net covered assets declined by $36.9 million, or 22%, from $170.2 million at December 31, 2012 to $133.3 million at June 30, 2013. The reduction was mainly attributable to $16.5 million in principal paydowns, net of advances, as well as the impact of such on the evaluation of expected cash flows and discount accretion levels. In addition, loss claims paid by the FDIC contributed to the reduction as we collected on the estimated loss reimbursement by the FDIC ("the FDIC indemnification receivable"). The allowance for covered loan losses increased by $1.0 million to $25.0 million at June 30, 2013 from $24.0 million at December 31, 2012 reflecting a further credit deterioration in expected cash flows on certain pools of covered loans since the date of acquisition. As of June 30, 2013, the FDIC had reimbursed the Company $116.6 million in losses under the loss share agreement. The remaining balance of our FDIC indemnification receivable is $10.0 million at June 30, 2013 with the value adjusted quarterly in accordance with applicable accounting requirements.

The following table presents covered loan delinquencies and nonperforming covered assets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and excludes purchased impaired loans which are accounted for on a pool basis. Since each purchased impaired pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows, the past due status of the pools, or that of individual loans within the pools, is not meaningful. Because we are recognizing interest income on each pool of such loans, they are all considered to be performing. Covered assets are excluded from the asset quality presentation of our originated loan portfolio, given the loss share indemnification from the FDIC.

FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT

We have implemented various policies to manage our liquidity position in order to meet our cash flow requirements and maintain sufficient capacity to meet our clients’ needs and accommodate fluctuations in asset and liability levels due to changes in our business operations as well as unanticipated events. We also have in place contingency funding plans designed to allow us to operate through a period of stress when access to normal sources of funding may be constrained. As part of our asset/liability management strategy, we utilize a variety of funding sources in an effort to optimize the balance of duration risk, cost, liquidity risk and contingency planning.

The Bank’s principal sources of funds are client deposits, including large institutional deposits, brokered time deposits, wholesale borrowings, and cash from operations. The Bank’s principal uses of funds include funding growth in the core asset portfolios, including loans, and to a lesser extent, our investment portfolio, which is used primarily to manage liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The primary sources of funding for the Holding Company include dividends when received from its bank subsidiary, intercompany tax reimbursements from the Bank, and proceeds from the issuance of senior and subordinated debt, as well as equity. Net liquid assets at the Holding Company totaled $66.4 million at June 30, 2013 and $78.0 million at December 31, 2012.

We consider client deposits our core funding source. At June 30, 2013, 80% of our total assets were funded by client deposits, compared to 84% at December 31, 2012. We define client deposits as all deposits other than traditional brokered time deposits and non-client CDARS® (as described in the footnotes to Table 27 below). While we expect overall liquidity in the banking system to remain high while economic recovery and market factors improve, the level of our client deposits may fluctuate significantly based on client needs and other economic, market or regulatory factors, including deposit insurance limits. If client deposits decline due to any of these factors, we would expect to utilize other external sources of liquidity, including wholesale funding.

Given the commercial focus of our core business strategy, a majority of our deposit base is comprised of corporate accounts which are typically larger than retail accounts. We have built a suite of deposit and cash management products and services that support our efforts to attract and retain corporate client accounts, resulting in a concentration of large deposits in our funding base. At June 30, 2013, we had 24 client relationships in which each had $50 million or more in total deposits, totaling $3.2 billion, or 28% of total deposits. Of these client relationships, 15 relationships had more than $75 million in deposits. In comparison, at December 31, 2012, we had 27 client relationships in which each had $50 million or more in total deposits, totaling $3.6 billion, or 30% of total deposits. Of these client relationships, 18 relationships had more than $75 million in deposits . At both periods, over half of the deposits of $50 million or greater were from financial services-related businesses, including omnibus accounts from broker-dealer and mortgage companies representing underlying accounts of their customers that may be eligible for pass-through deposit insurance limits.


99


Our ten largest depositor accounts totaled $2.2 billion or 20% of total deposits, at June 30, 2013. Commercial deposits are held in various deposit products we offer, including interest-bearing and non-interest bearing demand deposits, CDARS®, savings and money market accounts. The CDARS® deposit program allows clients to obtain greater FDIC deposit insurance for time deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. Through our community banking and private wealth groups, we offer a variety of personal banking products, including checking, savings and money market accounts and CDs, which serve as an additional source of client deposits.

We take deposit concentration risk into account in managing our liquid asset levels. Liquid assets refer to cash on hand, federal funds sold and securities. Net liquid assets represent the sum of the liquid asset categories less the amount of such assets pledged to secure public funds, certain deposits that require collateral and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Net liquid assets at the Bank were $2.3 billion and $2.7 billion at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We had higher net liquid assets at the Bank at December 31, 2012 in part due to an increase in client deposits that can be typical towards year end and uncertainty relating to the potential for deposit outflows resulting from the expiration of the unlimited FDIC deposit insurance on noninterest-bearing deposit accounts at December 31, 2012.

We experienced some client deposit outflows during the second quarter 2013 and have experienced a corresponding decline in liquid assets as well. We maintain liquidity at levels we believe sufficient to meet anticipated client liquidity needs, fund anticipated loan growth, selectively purchase securities and investments, and opportunistically pay down wholesale funds.

While we first look toward internally generated deposits as our funding source, we also utilize wholesale funding, including brokered time deposits, as needed to enhance liquidity and to fund asset growth. Brokered time deposits are deposits that are sourced from external and unrelated financial institutions by a third party. Brokered time deposits can vary in term from one month to several years and have the benefit of being a source of longer-term funding. Our asset/liability management policy currently limits our use of brokered time deposits, excluding client CDARS®, to levels no more than 25% of total deposits, and total brokered time deposits to levels no more than 40% of total deposits. Brokered time deposits exclusive of client CDARS® were 5% and 3% of total deposits at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Our cash flows are comprised of three classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows from operating activities primarily include results of operations for the period, adjusted for items in net income that did not impact cash. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $47.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $125.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash flows from investing activities reflect the impact of loans and investments acquired for our interest-earning asset portfolios and asset sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was $196.4 million, compared to $490.0 million for the prior year period. This change in cash flows primarily represents larger amounts of cash redeployed towards the funding of loans in the six months ended June 30, 2012 than the current period. Cash flows from financing activities include transactions and events whereby cash is obtained from and/or paid to depositors, creditors or investors. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $572.3 million, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $507.3 million for the prior year period. The current period financing cash flows primarily represents the decline in deposits from the prior year end, offset by a net increase in FHLB advances of $295.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The prior period's financing cash flows resulted from net increases in FHLB advances and deposits of $174.0 million and $341.7 million, respectively.

For information regarding our investment portfolio, see the "Investment Portfolio Management" section above.

Deposits

The primary source of our deposit base is middle market commercial client relationships from a diversified industry base in our markets. Due to our middle market commercial banking focused business model, our client deposit base provides access to larger deposit balances that result in a concentrated deposit base.

The CDARS® deposit program is a deposit services arrangement that effectively achieves FDIC deposit insurance for jumbo deposit relationships. These deposits are classified as brokered time deposits for regulatory deposit purposes; however, we classify certain of these deposits as client CDARS® due to the source being our client relationships and are, therefore, not traditional brokered time deposits. We also participate in a non-client CDARS® program that is more like a traditional brokered time deposit program.

Total deposits at June 30, 2013 decreased by $865.3 million from year end 2012, primarily driven by a 26% decline in noninterest-bearing demand deposits and was somewhat offset by a 20% increase in brokered time deposits. A number of factors contributed to the decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, including movement to interest-bearing products, a category in which balances increased 17% from December 31, 2012; expiration of the unlimited guarantee program, and client usage. The deposit balances of our commercial clients may fluctuate depending on their cash management and liquidity needs. Client deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 95% and 97% of deposits at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The deposit to loan ratio was 112.0% at June 30, 2013 compared to 120.1% at December 31, 2012.

Brokered time deposits totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2013, up $197.3 million from December 31, 2012. Brokered time deposits fluctuate based upon the Bank's general funding needs related to deposits, loans and other funding needs. Brokered time deposits at June 30, 2013 included $695.1 million in client-related CDARS®. Brokered time deposits, excluding client CDARS®, increased by $112.8 million from the prior year end and were 5% of total deposits at June 30, 2013 and 3% of total deposits December 31, 2012.

Public balances, denoting the funds held on account for municipalities and other public entities, are included as a part of our total deposits. We enter into specific agreements with certain public customers to pledge collateral, primarily securities, in support of the balances on account. These relationships may provide cross-sell opportunities with treasury management, as well as other business referral opportunities. At June 30, 2013, we had public funds on account totaling $919.3 million, of which approximately 22% were collateralized with securities. At December 31, 2012, public fund balances totaled $961.1 million. Changes in balances are influenced by the tax collection activities of the various municipalities as well as the general level of interest rates.

Over the past several years in the generally low interest rate environment, our clients have tended to keep the maturities of their deposits short, and short-term certificates of deposit have generally been renewed on terms and with maturities of similar duration. In the event that time deposits are not renewed, we expect to replace those deposits with traditional deposits, brokered time deposits, or borrowed money sufficient to meet our funding needs.

Short-term and Secured Borrowings and Long-term Debt

Short-term borrowings at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consisted solely of FHLB advances that mature in one year or less. We may continue to use FHLB advances to meet our funding needs although we may choose to use brokered deposits as an alternative depending on cost and certain other factors.

Also included in short-term and secured borrowings on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition are amounts related to certain loan participation agreements on loans we originated that were classified as secured borrowings as they did not qualify for sale accounting treatment. As of June 30, 2013, these loan participation agreements totaled $8.7 million. A corresponding amount was recorded within loans on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Long-term debt, which is comprised of junior subordinated debentures, subordinated debt, and the long-term portion of FHLB advances, totaled $499.8 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The earliest scheduled maturity of long term-debt is $2.0 million of FHLB advances due in December 2014.

In addition to on-balance sheet funding and other liquid assets such as cash and investment securities, we maintain access to various external sources of funding, which assist in the prudent management of funding costs, interest rate risk, and anticipated funding needs or other considerations. Some sources of funding are accessible same-day while others require advance notice. Funds that are immediately accessible include Federal Fund counterparty lines, which are uncommitted lines of credit from other financial institutions, and the borrowing term is typically overnight. Availability of Federal Fund lines fluctuate based on market conditions and counterparty relationship strength. Unused overnight Fed Funds borrowings available for use totaled $525.0 million and $385.0 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

We also had borrowing capacity of $744.0 million with the FHLB Chicago at June 30, 2013, of which $443.7 million was available, subject to the availability of acceptable collateral to pledge. This borrowing source may be utilized by the Bank for short-term funding needs, including overnight advances as well as long-term funding needs.

Repurchase agreements ("Repos") are also an immediate source of funding in which we pledge assets to a counterparty against which we can borrow with the agreement to repurchase at a specified date in the future. Repos can vary in term, from overnight to longer, but are regarded as short-term in nature.

The discount window at the FRB is an additional source of overnight funding is the discount window at the FRB. We maintain access to the discount window by pledging loans as collateral to the FRB. Funding availability is primarily dictated by the amount of loans pledged, but also impacted by the margin applied to the loans by the FRB. The amount of loans pledged to the FRB can fluctuate due to the availability of loans eligible under the FRB’s criteria which include stipulations of documentation requirements, credit quality, payment status and other criteria. At June 30, 2013, we had $613.1 million in borrowing capacity through the FRB discount window’s primary credit program compared to $688.6 million at December 31, 2012.

CAPITAL

Equity totaled $1.2 billion at June 30, 2013, increasing by $25.9 million compared to December 31, 2012 and is primarily due to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $56.2 million, offset by a $33.9 million decline in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax primarily associated with a decline in market values on our available-for-sale investment portfolio due to a rise in interest rates in the latter part of the second quarter 2013.

Capital Management

Under applicable regulatory capital adequacy guidelines, the Company and the Bank are subject to various capital requirements adopted and administered by the federal banking agencies. These guidelines specify minimum capital ratios calculated in accordance with the definitions in the guidelines, including the leverage ratio which is Tier 1 capital as a percentage of adjusted average assets, and the Tier 1 capital ratio and the total capital ratio each as a percentage of risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items that have been weighted according to broad risk categories. These minimum ratios are shown in the table below.

To satisfy safety and soundness standards, banking institutions are expected to maintain capital levels in excess of the regulatory minimums depending on the risk inherent in the balance sheet, regulatory expectations and the changing risk profile of business activities and plans. During 2012, we amended our capital management policy taking into account our improved earnings and asset quality, the proposed capital rules, and the recently adopted regulatory stress-testing requirements. Under our capital management policy, we conduct periodic stress testing of our capital adequacy and target capital ratios at levels above regulatory minimums that we believe are appropriate based on various other risk considerations, including the current operating and economic environment and outlook, internal risk guidelines, and our strategic objectives as well as regulatory expectations.

Not applicable.

As of June 30, 2013, all of our $244.8 million of outstanding junior subordinated debentures ("Debentures") held by trusts that issued trust preferred securities are included in Tier 1 capital. The Tier 1 qualifying amount is limited to 25% of Tier 1 capital as defined under FRB regulations currently in effect. At June 30, 2013, the Company's trust preferred securities as a percent of Tier 1 capital were less than 20%. Under the final regulatory capital rules issued in July 2013, as further discussed in the following "Newly Issued Regulatory Capital Rules" section, the Tier 1 capital treatment for the Company's trust preferred securities will be grandfathered, subject to the 25% limitation of Tier 1 capital. In the event we make an acquisition and the resulting organization
has total consolidated assets of $15 billion or more, the Tier 1 capital treatment for these instruments will be subject to the phase-out schedule for bank holding companies with greater than $15 billion in total assets. All of our outstanding trust preferred securities are callable by us and we may, from time to time, redeem some or all of these securities with internal resources or with other instruments, or depending on market conditions and other factors, we may seek to replace all or some of our trust preferred securities with other Tier 1 qualifying capital.

Of the $120.0 million in outstanding principal balance of the Bank's subordinated debt facility at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 40% of the balance qualified as Tier 2 capital. Effective in the third quarter 2010, Tier 2 capital qualification was reduced by 20% of the total balance outstanding and annually thereafter is reduced by an additional 20%. 100% of the $125.0 million in outstanding principal balance of the Company's subordinated debt at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 qualified as Tier 2 capital.

For a full description of our Debentures and subordinated debt, refer to Notes 9 and 10 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Newly Issued Regulatory Capital Rules

In July 2013, U.S. banking regulators approved final rules that alter the agencies' current regulatory capital requirements to align with the Basel III international capital standards and implement certain changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. Compliance with the rules is phased in over a period of five years beginning on January 1, 2015. The rules, which finalize the proposed rules released by the U.S. banking regulators in June 2012, are generally expected to require U.S. banks to hold higher amounts of capital, especially common equity, against their risk-weighted assets.

Among other things, the rules establish a common equity Tier 1 capital requirement and a required "capital conservation buffer," establish new regulatory capital minimums, change the treatment of certain assets for purposes of calculating regulatory capital and adopt a more conservative calculation of risk-weighted assets.

The new capital requirements (on a fully phased-in basis) are:

common equity Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 7.0% (4.5% minimum plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%);
Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 8.5% (6% minimum plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%);
total capital to total risk-weighted assets of 10.5% (8% minimum plus a capital conservation buffer of 2.5%); and
Tier 1 capital to adjusted average total assets (leverage ratio) of 4%.

Banking organizations that fail to maintain capital ratios in excess of the requirements including the capital conservation buffer will be subject to limitations on dividend payments, capital repurchases and payments of discretionary executive compensation. The rules also change the minimum Tier 1 capital thresholds for purposes of the existing prompt corrective action framework.

Under the rules, for bank holding companies like us with less than $15 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, trust preferred securities that were issued prior to May 19, 2010 are grandfathered in as a component of Tier 1 capital. Bank holding companies with grandfathered trust preferred securities will become subject to the Tier 1 capital treatment phase-out schedule for other bank holding companies with assets greater than $15 billion at the time of any acquisition that results in post-closing total consolidated assets equal to or greater than $15 billion.

In a change to existing capital treatment, unrealized gains and losses on certain debt and equity securities available-for-sale will be included as a component of Tier 1 capital unless the financial institution makes a one-time “opt out” election to continue to exclude these gains and losses from its regulatory capital. While we are still in the process of analyzing the final rules, our current expectation is that we will decide to make the opt-out election.

Risk-weighted assets are calculated using new and expanded risk-weighting categories. Among other categories, banking institutions would be required to assign higher risk-weightings to certain commercial real estate loans, past due or nonaccrual loans, unfunded commitments of less than one year, portions of deferred tax assets exceeding certain limits and credit valuation adjustments. The rules retain the existing risk weighting treatment on residential real estate loans.

Given our current capital position and the grandfathering of our existing trust preferred securities and our expectation that we will continue to generate capital through earnings, we do not currently anticipate significant changes to our business strategy in order to achieve compliance with these capital rules. In evaluating the potential impact of the final rules on us, we have focused primarily on the following:

The Tier 1 capital treatment of our existing $244.8 million in trust preferred securities is grandfathered in under the rules unless we pursue balance sheet growth through acquisitions.
The rules provide for an increased risk weighting on unfunded commitments of less than one year from zero percent to 20 percent unless the commitments are unconditionally cancellable at any time.
The rules provide for an increased risk weighting on certain non-performing loans from 100 percent to 150 percent.
The rules provide for an increased risk weighting from 100 percent to 150 percent on certain commercial real estate exposures that are considered high volatility commercial real estate ("HVCRE") loans (certain loans not conforming to Supervisory LTV guidelines that are used to finance the acquisition, development, or construction of real property, excluding one-to-four family residential loans) under the proposal. We expect that our construction loans and certain of our commercial real estate loans would likely be considered HVCRE loans as proposed.


106


The regulations require us to comply with most aspects of the rules, including the minimum regulatory capital ratios (without giving effect to the capital conservation buffer), beginning on January 1, 2015, and we will be required to comply with the capital conservation buffer requirements which will be phased in beginning on January 1, 2016 with full compliance by January 1, 2019.

Dividends

We declared dividends of $0.01 per common share during the second quarter 2013, unchanged from 2012. Based on the closing stock price at June 30, 2013 of $21.22, the annualized dividend yield on our common stock was 0.19%. The dividend payout ratio, which represents the percentage of common dividends declared to stockholders to basic earnings per share, was 2.70% for the second quarter 2013 compared to 5.26% for the second quarter 2012. We have no current plans to seek to raise dividends on our common stock.

For additional information regarding limitations and restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, refer to the "Supervision and Regulation" and "Risk Factors" sections of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Stock Repurchases and Issuances and Conversion of Nonvoting Common Stock

We currently do not have a stock repurchase program in place; however, we have repurchased shares in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans. Under the terms of these plans, we accept shares of common stock from plan participants if they elect to surrender previously-owned shares upon exercise of options to cover the exercise price or, in the case of both restricted shares of common stock or stock options, the withholding of shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of restricted shares or exercise of stock options. During the second quarter 2013, we repurchased 52,789 shares with an average value of $18.58 per share.

During first quarter 2013, the Company began issuing shares from treasury upon the exercise of stock options, granting of restricted stock awards and the settlement of share unit awards pursuant to its share-based compensation plans. At June 30, 2013, the Company held 385,000 shares in the treasury and 947,000 at December 31, 2012. The reduction in shares held is primarily attributable to the annual granting of restricted stock awards in February 2013 as part of the Company's 2012 annual incentive and 2013 long-term incentive programs. Prior to 2013, the Company issued new shares to fulfill its obligation to settle share-based awards.

During the second quarter 2013, holders of our nonvoting common stock sold 1,951,037 shares of our nonvoting common stock and, upon settlement, were converted to shares of voting common stock on a one for one basis in accordance with their terms.

NON-U.S. GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This report contains both U.S. GAAP and non-U.S. GAAP based financial measures. These non-U.S. GAAP financial measures include net interest income, net interest margin, net revenue, operating profit, and efficiency ratio all on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, return on average tangible common equity, Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets, tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible equity to risk-weighted assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible book value. We believe that presenting these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures will provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance, our business, and performance trends and facilitates comparisons with the performance of others in the banking industry.

We use net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis in calculating various performance measures by increasing the interest income earned on tax-exempt assets to make it fully equivalent to interest income earned on taxable investments assuming a 35% tax rate. Management believes this measure to be the preferred industry measurement of net interest income as it enhances comparability to net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources, and accordingly believes that providing this measure may be useful for peer comparison purposes.

In addition to capital ratios defined by banking regulators, we also consider various measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy, including return on average tangible common equity, Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets, tangible equity to tangible assets, tangible equity to risk-weighted assets, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible book value. These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by banking regulators for both absolute and comparative purposes. All of these measures exclude the ending balances of goodwill and other intangibles while certain of these ratios exclude preferred capital components. Because U.S. GAAP does not include capital ratio measures, we believe there are no comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures to these ratios. We believe these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are relevant because they provide information that is helpful in assessing the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally, presentation of these measures allows readers to compare certain aspects of our capitalization to other companies. However, because there are no standardized definitions for these ratios, our calculations may not be comparable with other

107


companies, and this may affect the usefulness of these measures to investors. Calculations of the Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio contained herein exclude the effect of the final Basel III capital rules adopted and issued by the Federal Reserve Board in July 2013, which are effective January 1, 2014 with compliance required January 1, 2015.

Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under U.S. GAAP. As a result, we encourage readers to consider our Consolidated Financial Statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a continuing part of our asset/liability management, we attempt to manage the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on our net interest income. This effort entails providing a reasonable balance between interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and maintenance of yield. We may manage interest rate risk by structuring the asset and liability characteristics of our balance sheet and/or by executing derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. We initiated the use of interest rate derivatives as part of our asset liability management strategy in July 2011 to hedge interest rate risk in our primarily floating-rate loan portfolio and, depending on market conditions have continued the use of such hedges.

Interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and liabilities equally or simultaneously. There are other factors that are difficult to measure and predict that would influence the effect of interest rate fluctuations on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

The majority of our interest-earning assets are floating rate instruments. At June 30, 2013, approximately 74% of the total loan portfolio is indexed to LIBOR, 18% of the total loan portfolio is indexed to the prime rate, and another 2% of the total loan portfolio otherwise adjusts with other reference interest rates. Of the $6.6 billion in loans maturing after one year with a floating interest rate, $1.4 billion are subject to interest rate floors, of which 92% are in effect at June 30, 2013 and are reflected in the interest sensitivity analysis below. To manage the interest rate risk of our balance sheet, we have the ability to use a combination of financial instruments, including medium-term and short-term financings, variable-rate debt instruments, fixed rate loans and securities and interest rate swaps.

We use a simulation model to estimate the potential impact of various interest rate changes on our income statement and our interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios. The starting point of the analysis is the current size and nature of these portfolios at the beginning of the measurement period as well as the then-current applicable pricing structures. During the twelve-month measurement period, the model will re-price assets and liabilities based on the contractual terms and market rates in effect at the beginning of the measurement period and assuming instantaneous parallel shifts in the applicable yield curves and instruments remain at that new interest rate through the end of the twelve-month measurement period. The model only analyzes changes in the portfolios based on assets and liabilities at the beginning of the measurement period and does not assume any changes from growth or business plans over the following twelve months.

The sensitivity analysis is based on numerous assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including the shape of the yield curve, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows, non-maturity deposit behavior and others. While our assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, historical loan and deposit data and other quantitative and qualitative factors, we cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions. Market factors, client preferences or behavior, and competitor influences might change and cause a divergence from these assumptions. In addition, the simulation model assumes certain one-time instantaneous interest rate shifts that are consistent across all yield curves and do not continue to increase over the measurement period. As such, these assumptions and modeling reflect an estimation of the sensitivity to interest rates or market risk and do not predict the timing and direction of interest rates or the shape and steepness of the yield curves. Therefore, the actual results may differ materially from these simulated results due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of interest rate changes as well as changes in market conditions and management strategies.

Modeling the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in market interest rates is highly dependent on numerous assumptions incorporated into the modeling process. These assumptions are periodically reviewed and updated in the context of various internal and external factors including balance sheet changes, product offerings, product mix, external micro- and macro-economic factors, anticipated client behavior and anticipated Company and market pricing behavior. The majority of our deposits are from commercial clients, many of which tend to be large accounts, and it is particularly difficult to predict the deposit flows and pricing sensitivity of these depositors in a rising rate environment.

The decrease in the overall interest rate sensitivity from the prior year end, as reflected in the table below, is primarily due to a decrease in noninterest-bearing demand deposits over that time and a related decrease in short-term cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve. A reduction in noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreases our overall interest rate sensitivity because they fund rate-responsive assets but are not themselves sensitive to interest rates. The reduction in short-term cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve reduces asset sensitivity because they reprice daily and are therefore inherently interest rate sensitive. The reduction in cash and increase in the investment portfolio represent a rotation into less rate sensitive assets. In addition, borrowings have increased, comprised primarily of short-term FHLB advances, which further offset asset sensitivity. Taken together, a reduction in highly rate sensitive assets, and a rotation out of non-sensitive liabilities and into rate sensitive liabilities produced a decrease in overall rate sensitivity. Based on the modeling, the Company remains in an asset sensitive position and would benefit from a

rise in interest rates. We will continue to periodically review and refine, as appropriate, the assumptions used in our interest rate risk modeling.

The following table shows the estimated impact of an immediate change in interest rates as of June 30, 2013 based on our current simulation modeling assumptions and as of December 31, 2012, as previously reported in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The estimated impact to our net interest income over a one-year period is reflected in dollar terms and percentage change. As an example, this table illustrates that if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift in the yield curve of +100 basis points on June 30, 2013, net interest income would increase by $24.4 million or 6.4% over a twelve-month period, as compared to a net interest income increase of $40.4 million, or 10.6% if there had been an instantaneous parallel shift of +100 basis points at December 31, 2012.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In June 2013, we were served with a complaint naming the Bank as an additional defendant in a lawsuit pending in the Circuit Court of the 21st Judicial Circuit, Kankakee County, Illinois known as Maas vs. Marek et. al. The lawsuit, brought by the beneficiaries of two trusts for which the Bank is serving as the successor trustee, seeks reimbursement of approximately $2 million of penalties and interest assessed by the IRS due to the late payment of certain generation skipping taxes by the trusts, as well as certain related attorney fees and other damages. The other named defendants include legal and accounting professionals that provided services related to the matters involved. Although this litigation is in the early stages and we are not able to predict the likelihood of an adverse outcome, we currently anticipate that ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

As of June 30, 2013, there were various legal proceedings pending against the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these proceedings will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
