THE BILLIONAIRE WHO BOUGHT A BANK -- AND PAID NO TAXES
http://latourgenealogicalcollection.org/finance/bok_financial.html
FRB: Press Release -- Approval of proposal of BOK Financial Corporation -- May 24, 1999
The Federal Reserve Board today announced its approval of the proposal of
BOK Financial Corporation, Tulsa, Oklahoma, to acquire First Bancshares of
Muskogee, Inc., its banking subsidiary, First National Bank and Trust
Company of Muskogee, and its nonbanking subsidiary, First Muskogee
Insurance Corporation, all of Muskogee, Oklahoma.
Attached is the Board's Order relating to this action.
BOK Financial Corporation
Tulsa, Oklahoma
BOKF Merger Corporation Number Seven
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Order Approving Acquisition of a Bank Holding Company
http://latourgenealogicalcollection.org/finance/bok_financial.html
BOK Financial Corporation ("BOK Financial"), a bank holding company within
the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act ("BHC Act"), and BOKF Merger
Corporation Number Seven ("Merger Corporation") have requested the Board's
approval under section 3 of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. º1842) to acquire First
Bancshares of Muskogee, Inc. ("First Bancshares"), and its wholly owned
subsidiary, First National Bank and Trust Company of Muskogee ("First
National"), both of Muskogee, Oklahoma.1 BOK Financial and Merger
Corporation also have requested the Board's approval under section 4(c)(8)
of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. º1843(c)(8)) and section 225.24 of the Board's
Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. 225.24) to acquire First of Muskogee Insurance
Corporation, Muskogee, Oklahoma ("First Insurance"), and thereby engage in
credit-related insurance agency activities pursuant to section
225.28(b)(11)(i) of the Board's Regulation Y (12 C.F.R. 225.28(b)(11)(i)).
Notice of the proposal, affording interested persons an opportunity to
submit comments, has been published (64 Federal Register 1804 (1999)). The
time for filing comments has expired, and the Board has considered the
proposal and all comments received in light of the factors set forth in
sections 3 and 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act.
BOK Financial, with total consolidated assets of $6.8 billion, operates
banks in Oklahoma, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Texas, and engages through
nonbanking subsidiaries in permissible leasing and securities-related
activities. BOK Financial is the largest depository institution in
Oklahoma, controlling deposits of $3.5 billion, representing approximately
10.5 percent of total deposits in insured depository institutions in the
state ("state deposits").2 First Bancshares is the 23d largest depository
organization in Oklahoma, controlling deposits of $218 million,
representing less than 1 percent of state deposits. On consummation of the
proposal, BOK Financial would remain the largest banking organization in
Oklahoma, controlling deposits of $3.7 billion, representing approximately
11.2 percent of state deposits.
Competitive Considerations
Section 3 of the BHC Act prohibits the Board from approving a proposal
that would result in a monopoly in any relevant banking market. That
section also prohibits the Board from approving a proposal that may
substantially lessen competition in any relevant banking market, unless
the anticompetitive effects of the proposal are clearly outweighed in the
public interest by the probable effect of the proposal in meeting the
convenience and needs of the community to be served.3
In order to determine the effect of a particular transaction on
competition, it is necessary to designate the area of effective
competition between the parties, which the courts have held is decided by
reference to the relevant "line of commerce" or product market and a
geographic market. The Board and the courts have consistently recognized
that the appropriate product market for analyzing the competitive effects
of bank mergers and acquisitions is the cluster of products (various kinds
of credit) and services (such as checking accounts and trust
administration) offered by banking institutions.4 Consistent with this
precedent, and on the basis of the facts of record in this case, the Board
concludes that the cluster of banking products and services represents the
appropriate line of commerce for analyzing the competitive effects of this
proposal.
Once the relevant line of commerce or product market has been defined, the
appropriate geographic market in which competition for the supply and
demand of the line of commerce occurs must be defined. In defining the
relevant geographic market, the Board consistently has sought to identify
the area in which the cluster of products and services is provided by the
competing institutions and in which purchasers of the products and
services seek to obtain these products and services.5 The Supreme Court
has indicated that this is the area in which the effect of an acquisition
will be direct and immediate.6 In applying these standards to bank
acquisition proposals, the Board and the Court consistently have held that
the geographic market for the cluster of services is local in nature.7
The Muskogee Banking Market
BOK and First Financial operate in Muskogee, Oklahoma. In determining the
geographic market to be applied in this case, the Board notes that the
city of Muskogee is significantly larger than any other community in the
surrounding area, and provides substantially more employment
opportunities, professional and commercial services, and retail outlets
than the surrounding communities.8
Commuting between the surrounding communities and Muskogee appears to be
extensive. Divided four-lane highways connect Muskogee with the towns of
Tahlequah, Wagoner, and Checotah, and traffic counts indicate that a
substantial majority of the daily trips on these roads are between the
four communities.9 Within a 10-mile radius of Muskogee, approximately
2,400 businesses employ almost 28,000 workers, which exceeds the available
workforce of 21,500 in that area. A survey of the 17 largest employers in
the Muskogee area, which employ 7,267 workers, found that 30 percent of
their workers lived outside Muskogee and the nearby community of Ft.
Gibson.10 In addition, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce divides the
state of Oklahoma into 23 labor markets. The department includes Muskogee
in the Muskogee-Tahlequah labor market, which comprises all of Muskogee
County, all of Cherokee County (including Tahlequah), the eastern half of
Wagoner County (including Wagoner), the northern half of McIntosh County
(including Checotah), and Adair County.11
Muskogee also offers a broad range of goods and services that are
unavailable in the surrounding communities and that attract residents to
Muskogee. Muskogee has a 336-bed hospital staffed by more than 200
physicians, a Veterans Adminstration hospital, 160 businesses in the
health services industry, and an enclosed mall that features three major
national department store anchors and several other national retail
chains. Data from the mall's anchor stores indicate that only 40 percent
of their sales are derived from Muskogee residents, and that the majority
of the their business is from residents of the surrounding communities.12
A survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City ("Reserve
Bank") revealed that 55 percent of respondents in Tahlequah traveled to
Muskogee at least once a month, including 13 percent who reported that
they traveled to Muskogee at least once a week. In Wagoner, 70 percent of
respondents indicated that they traveled to Muskogee at least once a
month, including 32 percent who traveled to Muskogee at least once a week.
Newspaper circulation statistics also indicate that there is extensive
economic interaction between Muskogee and Tahlequah. Approximately 22
percent of Tahlequah households receive the daily Muskogee newspaper,
which features stories about events in Tahlequah and advertisements by
Tahlequah businesses.13 In addition, both the daily and the weekly
newspaper in Tahlequah regularly carry news stories about events in
Muskogee and advertisements by Muskogee businesses.14 All four radio
stations in Muskogee advertise in the Tahlequah newspaper and carry
advertisements for Tahlequah businesses. The local telephone book for the
"Muskogee-Tahlequah Region" combines listings for businesses in those two
communities, Wagoner, Checotah, and other small towns in the area.
Discussions by the Reserve Bank with local bankers and business and civic
leaders also indicated that businesses in Tahlequah regularly seek
financial services in Muskogee, and that the distance between the
communities is not a significant impediment.15 Based on Reserve Bank
surveys, it further appears that there is little or no difference in
prices for banking products and services among Muskogee and the
surrounding communities, including Tahlequah.
Based on the foregoing and all other facts of record, the Board concludes
that the appropriate banking market for considering the competitive
effects of this case is the cluster of banking products and services, and
that the appropriate geographic market for considering the competitive
effects of this proposal is the area that includes Muskogee County,
Cherokee County (including Tahlequah), the eastern half of Wagoner County
(including Wagoner), and the town of Checotah in McIntosh County, all in
Oklahoma (the "Muskogee banking market").
In the Muskogee banking market, BOK Financial is the third largest
depository institution, controlling deposits of $148 million, representing
approximately 12.8 percent of all deposits held by depository institutions
in the market ("market deposits").16 First Bancshares is the second
largest depository institution in the market, controlling deposits of $217
million, representing approximately 18.9 percent of market deposits. On
consummation of the proposal, BOK Financial would become the largest
depository institution in the Muskogee banking market, controlling
deposits of $365 million, representing approximately 31.7 percent of
market deposits. The concentration of market deposits, as measured by the
Herfindahl-Hirschman Index ("HHI"), would not exceed the threshold level
set in the Department of Justice Merger Guidelines ("DOJ Guidelines").17
In reviewing the likely competitive effects of the proposal in the
Muskogee banking market, the Board has considered all the facts of record.
Twelve commercial banks, including BOK Financial, and two savings
associations would remain in the market after consummation of the
proposal, which represents a large number of competitors relative to the
size of the market.18 One competing commercial bank would control more
than 20 percent of market deposits, and 5 additional competing commercial
banks would each control at least five percent of market deposits.
The market also appears attractive for additional entry. From 1990 to
1998, household income increased 33 percent in Muskogee County and 39.1
percent in Cherokee County, compared to an average statewide increase of
19.5 percent. Deposits also increased at a higher percentage than the
statewide average Total deposits in insured depository institutions
increased 20.2 percent in Muskogee County and 14.7 percent in Cherokee
County, compared to an average increase of 14.6 percent statewide.
Cherokee County's population increased 14.3 percent from 1990 to 1998,
compared to an average statewide increase of 2.4 percent.
Thus, the market structure and other characteristics of the Muskogee
banking market, including the significant number of depository
institutions in the market, the market shares and resources of those
institutions, and the potential for entry by additional competitors,
reduce the likelihood of successful anticompetitive pricing or collusion
in the market. As in other cases, the Board sought comments from the
Department of Justice, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"),
and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") on the
competitive effects of the proposal. Neither the FDIC nor the OCC have
objected to the proposal.19
Based on all the facts of record, and for the reasons discussed above, the
Board concludes that consummation of the proposal would not result in a
monopoly or have a significantly adverse effect on competition or on the
concentration of banking resources in the Muskogee banking market or any
other relevant banking market.
Financial, Managerial, and Other Considerations
The BHC Act also requires the Board to consider the financial and
managerial resources and future prospects of the companies and banks
involved in the proposal, the convenience and needs of the community to be
served, and certain supervisory factors. The Board has reviewed these
factors in light of all the facts of record, including supervisory reports
of examination assessing the financial and managerial resources of the
organizations. Based on all the facts of record, the Board concludes that
the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of BOK
Financial, First Bancshares, and their respective subsidiaries are
consistent with approval. Considerations related to the convenience and
needs of the community and the other supervisory factors the Board must
consider under section 3 of the BHC Act also are consistent with approval.
Nonbanking Activities
BOK Financial also has filed a notice under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act
to acquire First Bancshares' nonbanking subsidiary, First Insurance, and
thereby engage in credit-related insurance agency activities. The Board
has determined by regulation that providing credit-related insurance is
closely related to banking for purposes of the BHC Act.20 BOK Financial
has committed to conduct this nonbanking activity in accordance with the
limitations set forth in Regulation Y and the Board's orders and
interpretations governing this activity.
In order to approve a notice under section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act, the
Board also must determine that the proposed activities are a proper
incident to banking, that is, that the proposal "can reasonably be
expected to produce benefits to the public . . . that outweigh possible
adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or
unfair competition, conflicts of interests, or unsound banking
practices."21 As part of its evaluation of these factors, the Board
considers the financial condition and managerial resources of the
notificant and its subsidiaries, including the companies to be acquired,
and the effect of the proposed transaction on those resources. Based on
all the facts of record, the Board has concluded that financial and
managerial considerations are consistent with approval of the notice.
BOK currently does not provide credit-related insurance and, therefore,
the proposed acquisition would not result in a loss of competition in any
market. Based on all the facts of record, the Board has concluded that the
proposal would not result in any significantly adverse competitive effects
in any relevant market. In addition, as the Board has previously noted,
there are public benefits to be derived from permitting capital markets to
operate so that bank holding companies can make potentially profitable
investments in nonbanking companies and from permitting banking
organizations to allocate their resources in the manner they consider to
be most efficient when such investments and actions are consistent, as in
this case, with the relevant considerations under the BHC Act.22
The Board also concludes that the conduct of the proposed nonbanking
activity within the framework established under Regulation Y is not likely
to result in adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources,
decreased or unfair competition, conficts of interests, or unsound banking
practices, that would outweigh the public benefits of the proposal, such
as increased customer convenience and gains in efficiency. Accordingly,
based on all the facts of record, the Board has determined that the
balance of public benefits that the Board must consider under the proper
incident to banking standard of section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act is
favorable and consistent with approval of BOK Financial's notice.
Conclusion
Based on the foregoing, and in light of all the facts of record, the Board
has determined that the applications and notice should be, and hereby are,
approved. Approval of the applications and notice is specifically
conditioned on compliance by BOK Financial with all the commitments made
in connection with the proposal and with the conditions stated or referred
to in this order. The Board's determination on nonbanking activity also is
subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in sections 225.7 and
225.25(c) (12 C.F.R. 225.7 and 25.25(c)), and to the Board's authority to
require such modification or termination of the activities of a bank
holding company or any of its subsidiaries as the Board finds necessary to
ensure compliance with, and to prevent evasion of, the provisions of the
BHC Act and the Board's regulations and orders thereunder. For purposes of
this order, the commitments and conditions referred to above are deemed to
be conditions imposed in writing by the Board in connection with its
findings and decision and, as such, may be enforced in proceedings under
applicable law.
The acquisition of First National shall not be consummated before the
thirtieth calendar day after the effective date of this order, and the
proposal may not be consummated later than three months after the
effective date of this order, unless such period is extended for good
cause by the Board or by the Reserve Bank, acting pursuant to delegated
authority.
By order of the Board of Governors,23 effective May 24, 1999.

1 Merger Corporation has filed an application to become a bank holding
company in connection with the proposed transaction. Merger Corporation
and First Bancshares would merge, with Merger Corporation as the survivor.
BOK Financial proposes to merge First National into BOK Financial's
subsidiary bank, Bank of Oklahoma, National Association ("BOK"), on
consummation of the proposal, subject to approval by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency under the Bank Merger Act.

4 See Chemical Banking Corporation, 82 Federal Reserve Bulletin 239 (1996)
("Chemical"), and the cases and studies cited therein. The Supreme Court
has emphasized that it is the cluster of products and services that, as a
matter of trade reality, makes banking a distinct line of commerce. See
United States v. Philadelphia National Bank, 374 U.S. 321, 357 (1963)
("Philadelphia National"); accord United States v. Connecticut National
Bank, 418 U.S. 656 (1974); Phillipsburg National Bank, 399 U.S. 350 (1969)
("Phillipsburg National").

240 (1985); Wyoming Bancorporation, 68 Federal Reserve Bulletin 313
(1982), aff'd 729 F.2d 687 (10th Cir. 1984).
6 Philadelphia National, 374 U.S. at 357 (1963). In that case, the Court
stated that the "area of effective competition in the known line of
commerce must be charted by careful selection of the market area in which
the seller operates, and to which the purchaser can practicably turn for
supplies." Id. at 359 (emphasis in orginal) (quoting Tampa Electric Co. v.
Nashville Coal Co., 365 U.S. 320, 327 (1961)).

Union Corporation, 84 Federal Reserve Bulletin 489 (1998); Chemical; St.
Joseph Valley Bank, 68 Federal Reserve Bulletin 673 (1982) ("St. Joseph").
In determining the geographic scope of local banking markets, the Board
considers a number of factors, including the following: population
density; worker commuting patterns (as indicated by census data); shopping
patterns; the availability and geographic reach of various modes of
advertising; the presence of shopping, employment, health care, and other
necessities; the availability of transportation systems and routes; branch
banking patterns; deposit and loan activity; and other indicia of economic
integration and the transmission of competitive forces among depository
institutions that affect the pricing and availability of banking products
and services. See Crestar Bank, 81 Federal Reserve Bulletin 200, 201 n.5
(1995); Pennbancorp, 69 Federal Reserve Bulletin 548 (1983); St. Joseph.
8 The population of the Muskogee Ranally Metropolitan Area, which closely
approximates the city of Muskogee and immediately adjacent communities, is
approximately 50,000. The next largest towns in the area are Tahlequah
(population 11,965); Wagoner (population 7,242); and Checotah (population
3,290).
9 For example, more than 10,000 vehicles pass daily between Tahlequah and
Muskogee on U.S. Highway 62. East of Tahlequah and west of Muskogee, this
highway has two lanes and the traffic count drops to 1,500, according to
the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.
10 The statistics are from a survey by the Greater Muskogee Development
Corporation. The survey indicated that 13.7 percent of the workforce in
Tahlequah was employed in Muskogee County. Data from the 1990 United
States census indicate that 23 percent of the workforce in the town of
Checotah and 19 percent of the workforce in the town of Wagoner were
employed in Muskogee County.
11 In response to a survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas
City, the Tahlequah office of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission
reported that it placed 10 percent to 15 percent of its applicants in jobs
in Muskogee, and employment services in Muskogee indicated that 10 percent
to 20 percent of their applicants were from Tahlequah.
12 Tahlequah residents provided approximately 10 percent of the stores'
receipts, and sales to residents of Wagoner and Checotah approximated
their percentage of the area population.
13 In addition, more than one-third of the households in Wagoner and
three-fourths of the households in Checotah receive the Muskogee daily
newspaper.
14 An independent newspaper circulation audit firm has determined that the
newspaper market for the Muskogee daily newspaper includes all of Muskogee
County, western portions of Cherokee County (including Tahlequah), eastern
portions of Wagoner County (including Wagoner), and northeastern portions
of McIntosh County (including Checotah).
15 The Tehlequah office of Oklahoma Small Business Development Center
indicated that it often refers its small business clients in Tahlequah to
banks in Muskogee to obtain financing.
16 Market share data are based on calculations in which the deposits of
thrift institutions are included at 50 percent. The Board previously has
indicated that thrift institutions have become, or have the potential to
become, significant competitors of commercial banks. See Midwest Financial
Group, 75 Federal Reserve Bulletin 386 (1989); National City Corporation,
70 Federal Reserve Bulletin 743 (1984). Thus, the Board has regularly
included thrift institutions in the calculation of market shares on a
50-percent weighted basis. See, e.g., First Hawaiian, Inc., 77 Federal
Reserve Bulletin 52 (1991).
17 On consummation of the proposal, the HHI would increase 484 points to
1705. Under the DOJ Guidelines (49 Federal Register 26,823 (June 29,
1984)), a market in which the post-merger HHI is between 1000 and 1800 is
considered to be moderately concentrated. The Department of Justice has
informed the Board that a bank merger or acquisition generally will not be
challenged (in the absence of other factors indicating anticompetitive
effects) unless the post-merger HHI is at least 1800 and the merger
increases the HHI by more than 200 points. The Department of Justice has
stated that the higher than normal HHI thresholds for screening bank
mergers for anticompetitive effects implicitly recognize the competitive
effects of limited-purpose lenders and other nondepository financial
entities.
18 In addition, BOK Financial has contracted, after consummation of the
proposal, to divest two offices and $2 million of deposits in Muskogee to
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
CITIZENS SELLING TO BANK OF OKLAHOMA
BOK FINANCIAL CORP., the parent company of BANK OF OKLAHOMA, has
more than $3.3 billion in assets, a prepared company statement said.
With the pending acquisition of CITIZENS, BOK has 61 locations, including
21 in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, 21 in Tulsa and three in north-
west Arkansas. BOK serves 10 other communities with 16 locations across
the state.
When Paul Rowsey would vist CITIZENS BANK as a boy it looked a lot like
it did today.
"It was a very homey place," the Muskogee resident of 65 years said.
But times are changing.
Thursday L.F. Rooney III, chairman of the bank's board of directors,
announced this 70-year Muskogee institution agreed to sell to
BANK OF OKLAHOMA.
"It was inevitable," said Rowsey, a boyhood friend of Rooney's father
former bank vice president L.F. Rooney Jr. "At one time FIRST NATIONAL,
COMMERCIAL BANK and CITIZENS were the three (3) banks in town. They
were the staples of MUSKOGEE.
Thursday's announcement marks the second sale of a historically
Muskogee-owned bank in less than a year. Commerical was the first to sell
to BANK IV.
<hr invertborder>
FIRST NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY OF MUSKOGEE
The oldest bank in OKLAHOMA----the First National Bank and Trust Company
of Muskogee----was organized on June 7, 1890, after more than a year of
negotiations begun by Robert L. Owen, C.E. Foley, and other citizens of
the frontier city of MUSKOGEE.
The bank's first Board of Directors consisted of Robert L. Owen,
President, A.W. Robb, T.B. Neddles, F.B. Severs, P.J. Byrne, C.W. Turner,
and Leo Bennett, all of Muskogee; H.W. Salmon, Clinton, Missouri; W.O.
Cox, Kansas City, Missouri; C.E. Foley, Eufaula; J.E. Reynolds, South
McAlester; and John Adams, Parsons, Kansas.
After the charter was approved, the bank opened for business on April 22,
1890, with a capital structure of $100,000 at its first location in the
SEVERS BLOCK BUILDING on the Southeast Corner of Second (2) Street and
Broadway. In 1908 the CITY NATIONAL BANK was absorbed, further increasing
the size and enlarging the field of services of First National.
