Item 5. Other Events.
---------------------

Today  Southwest  Bancorp,  Inc.  announced  that its  nonperforming  assets  at
December  31,  2000  were  $13,265,000  instead  of the  $14,471,000  previously
reported.  The overstatement of nonperforming assets was the result of an error,
now corrected,  in compiling past due consumer loans at December 31, 2000. Loans
past due by 90 days or more and  still  accruing  at  December  31,  2000,  were
$208,000  rather than the  $1,414,000  previously  reported.  The  following are
corrected ratios as of December 31, 2000:  Nonperforming loans to total loans of
1.32%;  Allowance  for loan losses as a  percentage  of  nonperforming  loans of
100.71%;  Nonperforming  assets as a  percentage  of total  loans and other real
estate of 1.45%.
