BANC ONE CORPORATION ("BANC ONE"), the parent of Banc One Arizona, dated
September 17, 1993, as amended, (the "Merger Agreement"). The shareholders of
CCB will be asked to ratify and confirm a Bank Merger Agreement (the
"Consolidation Agreement") between CCB and Bank One, Utah, N.A. ("Bank One
Utah"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Banc One Arizona and an indirect

of BANK Common Stock held by them at the "Bank Exchange Rate."

MAJORITY OF ALL THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF CAPITAL VOTE AFFIRMATIVELY IN FAVOR
OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND IN ORDER TO RATIFY AND CONFIRM THE CONSOLIDATION
AGREEMENT, IT IS NECESSARY THAT NOT LESS THAN TWO-THIRDS OF ALL THE OUTSTANDING

Arizona's subsidiary, Bank One, Utah, N.A. ("Bank One Utah"). If the proposed
merger of CAPITAL with and into Banc One Arizona (the "Merger") is consummated,
each outstanding share of CAPITAL Common Stock, par value $10.00 per share
("CAPITAL Common Stock"), will be converted into shares of BANC ONE Common
Stock, no par value ("BANC ONE Common Stock") as follows:
If the average price of BANC ONE Common is not less than $36.85 nor
greater than $44.55 during the Valuation Period (as defined below), each

See "MERGER--Exchange Rate." The Merger is subject to the approval of not less
than a majority of the holders of the outstanding shares of CAPITAL Common
Stock entitled to vote thereon and to the satisfaction of certain other
conditions, including obtaining various regulatory approvals.
Following the Merger, if the proposed merger of CCB with and into Bank One Utah

Period, each share of CCB Common will be converted into 3.403 shares of

Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and to the satisfaction of certain other
conditions, including obtaining various regulatory approvals.

become the owner of 114,768 of the 140,767 (after the exercise of all
outstanding options to acquire CCB Common Stock) shares of CCB Common Stock
outstanding and will, provided that shareholders of CCB approve the
Consolidation Agreement, effect the merger of CCB and Bank One Utah (the
"Consolidation") pursuant to federal law, the laws of the State of Utah and the
Consolidation Agreement between CCB and Bank One Utah. Pursuant to the terms
of the Consolidation Agreement, the CCB Common Stock, other than CCB Common
Stock owned by CAPITAL or BANC ONE or Banc One Arizona as the successor to
CAPITAL, will be converted into shares of BANC ONE Common Stock, after giving
effect to the 10% stock dividend declared by BANC ONE's Board of Directors on
January 25, 1994 and payable March 4, 1994 to shareholders of record on
February 16, 1994, as follows:
If the average price of BANC ONE Common is not less than $36.85 nor
greater than $44.55 during the Valuation Period (as defined above), each
share of CCB Common will be converted into an amount of BANC ONE Common
having a market value of $125.40 during the Valuation Period. If the
average price of BANC ONE Common is below $36.85 during the Valuation
Period, each share of CCB Common will be converted into 3.403 shares of
BANC ONE Common, and if the average price of BANC ONE Common is above
$44.55 during the Valuation Period, each share of CCB Common will be
converted into 2.815 shares of BANC ONE Common.
See "Consolidation--Exchange Rate."
Management After the Merger
Banc One Arizona will operate with Banc One Arizona's current officers and
employees, with its principal place of business in Phoenix, Arizona. Banc One
Arizona's current directors will serve as the directors of the surviving
corporation following the Merger. It is anticipated that following the Merger,
CCB will merge with Banc One Arizona's subsidiary, Bank One Utah, (the
"Consolidation") and operate under the name of Bank One, Utah, National
Association (the "Resulting Bank"). The Resulting Bank will conduct its
banking operations at its present offices and, except for offices which are
consolidated, CCB's offices will become branches of the Resulting Bank.
The Resulting Bank, as a BANC ONE affiliate after the Consolidation, will
continue to operate under BANC ONE's operating philosophy whereby it will have
autonomy to match its products and services to the needs of its local
communities. BANC ONE bank affiliates have authority to make decisions locally
in "people-related" matters such as lending, personnel, charitable
contributions and other community and related matters, relying upon BANC ONE
and its state holding companies for "paper and computer related" matters such
as assistance in accounting, certain legal matters, investment portfolio
management, regulatory compliance, data processing and other matters which are
generally best performed by specialists on a centralized basis.
Tax Consequences
Consummation of the Merger is conditioned on receipt by CAPITAL and BANC ONE of
an opinion dated February 11, 1994 from Gerrish & McCreary, P.C. to the effect
that no gain or loss will be recognized by CAPITAL's stockholders for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of the exchange of their CAPITAL Common Stock
for BANC ONE Common Stock in the Merger. The tax consequences of the proposed
transaction to stockholders of CAPITAL are summarized under "MERGER-Federal
Income Tax Consequences." The Consolidation is not expected to qualify as a
tax-free transaction and the tax opinion of Gerrish & McCreary, P.C. will not
address the Consolidation.
Vote Required
Not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of CAPITAL Common Stock
entitled to vote thereon must vote in favor of the approval of the Merger
Agreement in order for the transaction to be completed. Not less than
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of CCB Common Stock entitled to vote
thereon must vote in favor of approval of the Consolidation Agreement in order
for the Consolidation to be completed. The directors and executive officers of
CAPITAL and their affiliates and associates are entitled to vote 66.1% of the
outstanding shares of CAPITAL Common Stock and each such holder has indicated
his or her intent to vote such shares for approval of the Merger Agreement.
The directors and executive officers of CCB, together with their affiliates,
are entitled to vote 3.6% of the outstanding shares of CCB Common Stock.
Additionally, CAPITAL owns 86.4% (81.53% after the exercise of all outstanding
options) of CCB Common Stock and will vote such shares to approve the
Consolidation Agreement. It is not necessary for the shareholders of BANC ONE
to approve the merger or consolidation proposals. However, BANC ONE, as the
sole shareholder of Banc One Arizona, has approved the Merger and the Merger
Agreement and Banc One Arizona as the sole shareholder of Bank One Utah will
approve the Consolidation and Consolidation Agreement. For information
concerning voting by stockholders of CAPITAL or CCB on the proposed Merger or
Consolidation. See "MERGER-General" and "VOTING AND MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION-Voting."
Rights of Dissenting Stockholders
Under Utah law, certain rights are available to a stockholder of CAPITAL and
CCB who does not vote his or her shares in favor of the Merger or
Consolidation, respectively, and delivers to CAPITAL or CCB, before the vote is
taken, written notice of intent to demand payment for his or her CAPITAL Common
Stock or CCB Common Stock if the Merger or Consolidation, respectively, are
consummated. See "VOTING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION--Rights of Dissenting
Stockholders."
Differences in Shareholder Rights
There are differences between the rights of CAPITAL stockholders and BANC ONE
shareholders and the rights of CCB Stockholders and BANC ONE shareholders.
Both Ohio law and BANC ONE's Amended Articles of Incorporation contain "control
share acquisition" provisions which mandate certain procedures and shareholder
consents to approve certain share acquisitions. In addition, under Ohio law,
in evaluating an acquisition proposal, directors of an Ohio corporation such as
BANC ONE are permitted, in determining whether any matter is in the best
interest of the corporation, to take into consideration the interests of the
corporation's employees, suppliers, creditors and customers, the economy and
community and societal considerations in the interest of the corporation and
its shareholders. The Utah Code Annotated does not contain any similar
provisions, nor do CAPITAL's Articles of Incorporation ("CAPITAL's Articles")
or CCB's Articles of Incorporation ("CCB's Articles"). Utah law provides that
a merger, consolidation, sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of
a corporation's assets may be effected upon a vote of a majority of a
corporation's outstanding shares entitled to vote. CAPITAL's Articles do not
contain provisions similar to the provisions of BANC ONE's Amended Articles of
Incorporation relating to control share acquisitions. BANC ONE's Articles
contain a so-called "fair price" provision which mandates certain procedures
and approvals for a business combination. CAPITAL's Articles and CCB's
Articles do not contain similar provisions. See "COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF
SHAREHOLDERS--Special Voting Requirements for Certain Transactions." In
addition, Ohio law contains provisions prohibiting certain business
combinations between corporations and "Interested Stockholders." Utah law does
not contain a similar provision. The effect of the supermajority and fair
price provisions contained in BANC ONE's Articles may be to discourage certain
potential business combinations which some shareholders may believe to be in
their best interests and to make more difficult management changes which might
occur if the potential business combination were successful. See "COMPARATIVE
RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS-- Comparisons of BANC ONE Common Stock and CAPITAL
Common Stock."
Cumulative voting is not used in the election of the Boards of Directors of
BANC ONE, CAPITAL or CCB. See "COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS--Comparison
of BANC ONE Common Stock and CAPITAL's Common Stock."
Regulatory Approvals
In order for the proposed transactions to be completed, approval of BANC ONE's
acquisition of CAPITAL must be obtained from the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") and the Utah Commissioner of
Financial Institutions (the "Utah Commissioner"). The Consolidation must also
be approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") and
the Utah Commissioner. The parties expect to receive these regulatory
approvals by March 31, 1994.
Conditions; Termination
Consummation of the Merger is subject to satisfaction or waiver of various
conditions, including compliance with respective covenants and confirmation of
respective representations and warranties, the absence of any material adverse
change in the financial condition or business of CAPITAL, CCB or BANC ONE, the
fulfillment of certain earnings tests and other matters. CAPITAL, by action of
its Board of Directors, may elect to terminate the Merger Agreement, whether
before or after approval of the Merger by the stockholders of CAPITAL, by
giving written notice of such election to BANC ONE within two NYSE trading days
after the Valuation Period (the ten consecutive days on which shares of BANC
ONE Common are traded on the NYSE ending on the sixth NYSE trading day
immediately prior to the consummation of the merger) provided that the average
price during the Valuation Period is less than $31.82. The Merger Agreement
provides that either party may abandon the Merger if it is not consummated on
or before July 15, 1994. See "MERGER-Conditions to the Merger" for a more
complete discussion of the conditions to the Merger. Consummation of the
Consolidation is subject to approval of the Consolidation Agreement by not less
than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of CCB Common and all of the
outstanding shares of Bank One Utah Common and procurement of all required
regulatory approvals. See "Merger--Conditions to the Consolidation" for a more
complete discussion of the conditions to the Consolidation.

THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF CAPITAL
This Prospectus and Joint Proxy Statement is being furnished to the
stockholders of CAPITAL in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the
CAPITAL Board for use at CAPITAL's Special Meeting of Stockholders and at any
adjournment or adjournments thereof (the "CAPITAL Special Meeting"). The
Special Meeting of Stockholders of CAPITAL will be held on , 1994,
at : .m., local time at 2200 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Purpose of the Special Meeting of Stockholders
At the CAPITAL Special Meeting, the holders of CAPITAL Common Stock will vote
on the approval of the Merger Agreement.
Record Dates and Voting Rights
The CAPITAL Board has fixed the close of business on February 28, 1994 as the
record date for determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote
at the Special Meeting. As of the record date, CAPITAL had outstanding and
entitled to vote 150,345 shares of CAPITAL Common Stock. Each share of CAPITAL
Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The Merger Agreement must be approved by
a majority of CAPITAL's stockholders.
Votes, whether in person or by proxy, will be counted and tabulated by
inspectors appointed by CAPITAL. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be
counted as votes either "for" or "against" any matters coming before the
CAPITAL Special Meeting, nor will such abstentions and broker non-votes be
counted toward determining a quorum. In accordance with Utah law and CAPITAL's
Articles and Bylaws, such abstentions have the effect of a "no" vote since
state law requires the Merger Agreement to be authorized and approved by the
affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the CAPITAL Common Stock
entitled to be voted, rather than a majority of those shares actually voting.
Proxies
Proxies for use at the CAPITAL Special Meeting accompany this Proxy Statement.
A stockholder may use a proxy whether or not he or she intends to attend the
Special Meeting in person. The proxy may be revoked in writing by the person
giving it at any time before it is exercised by notice to the Secretary of
CAPITAL, by submitting a later dated proxy or by attending and voting in person
at the CAPITAL Special Meeting. All proxies validly submitted and not revoked
will be voted in the manner specified therein. IF NO SPECIFICATION IS MADE,
THE PROXIES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT. The
CAPITAL Board is not aware of any other matters which may be presented for
action at the CAPITAL Special Meeting, but if other matters do properly come
before the meeting it is intended that the shares represented by the
accompanying proxy will be voted by the persons named in the proxy in
accordance with their best judgment.
Solicitation of proxies will be made in person, by mail, or by telephone or
telegraph by present and former directors, officers and employees of CAPITAL
and CCB for which no additional compensation will be paid. CAPITAL will bear
the cost of solicitation of proxies from its stockholders and may reimburse
brokers and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to
beneficial owners of its voting stock.
CAPITAL held its 1993 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 18, 1993.
THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF CCB

of CCB's stockholders.
Votes, whether in person or by proxy, will be counted and tabulated by
inspectors appointed by CCB. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be
counted as votes either "for" or "against" any matters coming before the CCB
Special Meeting, nor will such abstentions and broker non-votes be counted
toward determining a quorum. In accordance with Utah law and CCB's Articles
and Bylaws, such abstentions have the effect of a "no" vote since state law
requires the Consolidation Agreement to be authorized and approved by the
affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the CCB Common Stock entitled
to be voted, rather than two-thirds of those shares actually voting.
Proxies
Proxies for use at the CCB Special Meeting accompany this Proxy Statement. A
stockholder may use a proxy whether or not he or she intends to attend the
Special Meeting in person. The proxy may be revoked in writing by the person
giving it at any time before it is exercised by notice to the Secretary of CCB,
by submitting a later dated proxy or by attending and voting in person at the
CCB Special Meeting. All proxies validly submitted and not revoked will be
voted in the manner specified therein. IF NO SPECIFICATION IS MADE, THE
PROXIES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF APPROVAL OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT. The CCB
Board is not aware of any other matters which may be presented for action at
the CCB Special Meeting, but if other matters do properly come before the
meeting it is intended that the shares represented by the accompanying proxy
will be voted by the persons named in the proxy in accordance with their best
judgment.
Solicitation of proxies will be made in person, by mail, or by telephone or
telegraph by present and former directors, officers and employees of CAPITAL
and CCB for which no additional compensation will be paid. CCB will bear the
cost of solicitation of proxies from its stockholders and may reimburse brokers
and others for their expenses in forwarding solicitation material to beneficial
owners of its voting stock.
CCB held its 1993 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 18, 1993.
MERGER AND CONSOLIDATION
The information in this Prospectus and Joint Proxy Statement concerning the
terms of the Merger and Consolidation is a summary only and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement and Consolidation Agreement.
General
The Merger Agreement provides for the Merger of CAPITAL with and into Banc One
Arizona. As a result of the Merger, CCB will become a subsidiary of BANC ONE
and Banc One Arizona. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger (the "Effective
Time") each of the outstanding shares of CAPITAL Common Stock will be converted
into shares of BANC ONE Common Stock (subject to adjustments in certain
circumstances), which shares of BANC ONE Common Stock will be issued as a
result of the Merger. See "MERGER--Exchange Rate."
The Consolidation Agreement provides for the merger of CCB with and into Bank
One Utah. Upon the effectiveness of the Consolidation (the "Consolidation
Effective Time") each of the outstanding shares of CCB Common Stock not owned
by Capital or BANC ONE or Banc One Arizona following the Merger will be
converted into shares of BANC ONE Common Stock (subject to adjustments in
certain circumstances), which shares of BANC ONE Common Stock will be issued as
a result of the Consolidation.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of CAPITAL Common
Stock entitled to vote at the Capital Special Meeting is required in order to
approve the Merger Agreement. See "VOTING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION-Voting."
However, it is a condition to BANC ONE's obligation to consummate the Merger
that not more than 10% of the maximum aggregate total number of shares of BANC
ONE Common Stock which could be issued by BANC ONE in the Merger and
Consolidation are to be settled in cash as a result of fractional share
interests or are to be issued to CAPITAL stockholders who have asserted rights
of dissenting shareholders. The affirmative vote of two-thirds of the
outstanding shares of CCB Common Stock entitled to vote at the CCB Special
Meeting is required in order to approve the Consolidation Agreement. See
"VOTING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION-Rights of Dissenting Stockholders."
Subject to such stockholder approval and the satisfaction of certain conditions
and receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals, in each case as provided for
in the Merger Agreement, the Merger will become effective upon the issuance by
the Secretary of State of the State of Utah of a certificate of merger with
respect thereto as provided in applicable provisions of the Utah Code Annotated.
The Boards of Directors of BANC ONE, Banc One Arizona and CAPITAL have approved
the Merger Agreement and the Boards of Directors of Bank One Utah and CCB have
approved the Consolidation Agreement. BANC ONE, as the sole shareholder of
Banc One Arizona, has approved the Merger Agreement and Banc One Arizona, as
the sole shareholder of Bank One Utah, will approve the Consolidation
Agreement. Approval of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of BANC ONE is
not required for consummation of the Merger or Consolidation.
Exchange Rate and Consolidation Exchange Rate
At the Effective Time, stock issued by reason of the Merger will be allocated
to the stockholders of record of CAPITAL as of the Effective Time as follows:
If the average price of BANC ONE Common is not less than $36.85 nor
greater than $44.55 during the Valuation Period (as defined below), each
share of CAPITAL Common will be converted into an amount of BANC ONE
Common having a market value of $95.33 during the Valuation Period. If
the average price of BANC ONE Common is below $36.85 during the Valuation
Period, each share of CAPITAL Common will be converted into 2.587 shares
of BANC ONE Common, and if the average price of BANC ONE Common is above
$44.55 during the Valuation Period, each share of CAPITAL Common will be
converted into 2.140 shares of BANC ONE Common. The Valuation Period will
be the ten consecutive days on which shares of BANC ONE Common are traded
on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") as reported in The Wall Street
Journal for NYSE composite transactions ending on the sixth NYSE trading
day immediately prior to the Merger (the "Exchange Rate").
The Exchange Rate gives effect to the 5 for 4 shares Common Stock split
declared by BANC ONE's Board of Directors on July 20, 1993, payable August 31,
1993 to BANC ONE Common shareholders of record on August 3, 1993 and the 10%
Common Stock dividend declared by BANC ONE's Board of Directors on January 25,
1994, payable March 4, 1994 to BANC ONE Common Shareholders of record on
February 16, 1994.
At the Effective Time, stock issued by reason of the Consolidation will be
allocated to the stockholders of record of CCB, other than CAPITAL or BANC ONE
or Banc One Arizona following the Merger, as of the Effective Time as follows:
If the average price of BANC ONE Common is not less than $36.85 nor
greater than $44.55 during the Valuation Period (as defined above), each
share of CCB Common will be converted into an amount of BANC ONE Common
having a market value of $125.40 during the Valuation Period. If the
average price of BANC ONE Common is below $36.85 during the Valuation
Period, each share of CCB Common will be converted into 3.403 shares of
BANC ONE Common, and if the average price of BANC ONE Common is above
$44.55 during the Valuation Period, each share of CCB Common will be
converted into 2.815 shares of BANC ONE Common (the "Consolidation
Exchange Rate").
The Consolidation Exchange Rate gives effect to the 5 for 4 shares Common Stock
split declared by BANC ONE's Board of Directors on July 20, 1993, payable
August 31, 1993 to BANC ONE Common shareholders of record on August 3, 1993 and
the 10% Common Stock dividend declared by BANC ONE's Board of Directors on
January 25, 1994, payable March 4, 1994 to BANC ONE Common Shareholders of
record on February 16, 1994.
Operations After the Merger and Consolidation
Upon the consummation of the Merger, CAPITAL will be merged into Banc One
Arizona and the separate corporate existence of CAPITAL will cease. Banc One
Arizona, as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned
subsidiary of BANC ONE, will continue operations under the name "Banc One
Arizona Corporation" and will operate with Banc One Arizona's current officers
and employees, with its principal place of business at Phoenix, Arizona. Banc
One Arizona's current directors will serve as the directors of the surviving
corporation following the Merger. It is anticipated that following the Merger,
the Consolidation will occur. Following the Consolidation, the present
directors, officers and employees of Bank One Utah will continue in those same
capacities for the Resulting Bank. The Resulting Bank will conduct its banking
operations at its present offices.
The Resulting Bank, as a BANC ONE affiliate after the Merger and Consolidation,
will operate under BANC ONE's operating philosophy whereby it will have
autonomy to match its products and services to the needs of its local
communities. Similarly, BANC ONE bank affiliates have authority to make
decisions locally in "people-related" matters such as lending, personnel,
charitable contributions and other community and related matters, relying upon
BANC ONE and its state holding companies for "paper and computer related"
matters such as assistance in accounting, certain legal matters, investment
portfolio management, regulatory compliance, data processing and other matters
which are generally best performed by specialists on a centralized basis.
As of February 11, 1994, there were no outstanding unexercised options for
shares of CAPITAL Common Stock held by officers and directors of CAPITAL. As
of February 11, 1994, there were 7,917 unexercised options outstanding for
shares of CCB Common Stock held by an individual not affiliated with CCB or
CAPITAL. The Consolidation Agreement requires that these options be exercised
prior to the Consolidation.
Background of Transaction
During 1992, the Board of Directors of CAPITAL and CCB (collectively,
"CAPITAL") spent considerable time discussing which direction CAPITAL should
proceed in order to maximize shareholder value. In early 1993, the Board hired
an additional senior level management officer as President of Capital Bancorp.
This new officer was to assist the Board in analyzing three long-term
strategies and to assist in implementing the strategy of choice. The three
strategies considered were:
1. Sell or merge CAPITAL with a larger institution whose stock is publicly
traded.
2. Merge with or acquire other small banking institutions in order to grow in
size and gain the economies of scale whereby public registration and
trading of CAPITAL's stock would be economically justified.
3. Continue to operate as a closely held community bank and grow internally.
After considerable analysis and discussion, the Board of Directors chose to
pursue the option of growth through acquisition or merger with other banking
institutions. The Board felt it appropriate, however, to retain the option to
consider any future unsolicited offers from larger banks seeking to acquire
CAPITAL.
In April 1993, the CEO of Bank One Utah, on an unsolicited basis, made contact
with the Chairman of CAPITAL. He stated BANC ONE's desire to discuss the
possibility of acquiring CAPITAL in an exchange of stock. In late May 1993,
CAPITAL's senior management met with Bank One Utah's senior management where
BANC ONE was told that further discussions would be pursued only if BANC ONE
presented an offer which warranted such discussions. BANC ONE then gave an
indicated exchange ratio which equated to approximately 2.3 times CAPITAL's
book value. CAPITAL's Board met and determined such an offer was fair and in
the best interest of shareholders. The Board instructed CAPITAL's senior
management to cooperate with BANC ONE in performing preliminary due diligence
which would lead to a formal written offer.
CAPITAL contacted several law firms and elected to retain the law firm of
Gerrish & McCreary, P.C. to assist CAPITAL's Board and management in
structuring and negotiating the various terms of the transaction. Gerrish &
McCreary specializes in bank legal work and has represented numerous banks in
merger and acquisition transactions.
In July 1993, BANC ONE presented a written offer of a stock for stock exchange,
the value of which equated to 2.3 times CAPITAL's book value at the time. The
offer was subject to the satisfactory completion of certain due diligence
reviews. CAPITAL's Board met shortly thereafter and discussed extensively the
merits of accepting BANC ONE's offer. It was determined that the offer was
fair and in the best interest of shareholders. CAPITAL's Board voted
unanimously to move forward with exclusive merger discussions with BANC ONE.
CAPITAL's Board instructed senior management to negotiate the numerous terms
and conditions of the merger with BANC ONE and to work toward signing a
Definitive Merger Agreement.
On September 17, 1993, two separate Definitive Agreements wherein Capital
Bancorp would be merged into Banc One Arizona and subsequently Capital City
Bank would be consolidated with Bank One Utah were unanimously approved by
CAPITAL's Board and signed by CAPITAL and BANC ONE.
The Agreements were subject to various representations and warranties made by
all parties including due diligence procedures yet to be performed by BANC ONE.
After completion of all due diligence, both parties negotiated and signed an
Amendment to the Merger Agreement reducing by five percent the number of shares
of BANC ONE stock to be received by CAPITAL's shareholders.
Merger and Consolidation Recommendations and Reasons for Transaction
The terms of the merger and consolidation as outlined in the Merger Agreement
and Consolidation Agreement were the result of arms-length negotiations between
CAPITAL, CCB and BANC ONE and their respective representatives. In the course
of reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement and Consolidation
Agreement, the Boards of Directors of CAPITAL and CCB, respectively, consulted
with their legal advisors and with senior management. Numerous factors,
including, but not limited to, the following were considered:
1. The current condition and growth prospects for CAPITAL, including
historical and prospective results of operations, financial condition and
capital position.
2. The economic environment and competitive banking climate in Utah, with
special consideration given to the increased competition coming from
out-of-state financial institutions.
3. That a business combination with a larger bank holding company, like BANC
ONE, would provide greater short term and long term risk adjusted returns
to CAPITAL and CCB's shareholders and would benefit CCB's depositors, loan
customers and the community in which CAPITAL and CCB operate.
4. General industry conditions, including a regulatory environment especially
burdensome for small community banks, increased competition for deposits
and loans from non-regulated financial institutions, and the heightened
competitive environment created by the rapid consolidation occurring in the
banking industry.
5. BANC ONE's proposed exchange ratios in monetary value to CAPITAL and CCB's
shareholders, both in absolute terms and as compared to other similar
merger and consolidation transactions.
CAPITAL and CCB's Boards of Directors believe that the affiliation with BANC
ONE will result in a competitively stronger combined entity with increased
financial and human resources which will lead to enhanced financial performance
and a larger and more geographically diverse banking operation.
As of January 31, 1994, the directors and executive officers of CAPITAL,
together with their affiliates and associates, as a group, were entitled to
vote approximately 99,336 shares of CAPITAL Common Stock representing
approximately 66.1% of the shares outstanding. These persons will be entitled
to receive the same consideration for their shares as any other CAPITAL
stockholder upon approval of the Merger. The directors and executive officers
of CCB, together with their affiliates are entitled to vote 3.6% of the
outstanding shares of CCB Common Stock. Additionally, CAPITAL owns 114,768
representing approximately 86.4% (81.53% after the exercise of all outstanding
options) of the shares outstanding. The CCB shares owned by CAPITAL will not
be converted into BANC ONE Common. CAPITAL believes that all of the directors'
and executive officers' shares will be voted in favor of the Merger and it will
vote all of the CCB shares it owns in favor of the Consolidation. After the
Merger, CAPITAL's directors and executive officers will own less than 1% of the
shares of BANC ONE Common Stock outstanding.
CAPITAL AND CCB'S BOARDS OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT THE MERGER
AGREEMENT AND CONSOLIDATION AGREEMENT BE APPROVED BY THE STOCKHOLDERS OF
CAPITAL AND CCB, RESPECTIVELY.
BANC ONE believes that the affiliation of CAPITAL with BANC ONE and the
acquisition of CCB thereby will provide BANC ONE with a more meaningful
presence in the Salt Lake City, Utah area and an expansion of BANC ONE's
customer base and assets. Such expansion will provide BANC ONE with the
opportunity to realize increased economies of scale while serving new customers
with the expertise and assistance of the capable and experienced staff of CCB.
Conditions to the Merger; Termination
Consummation of the Merger is subject to satisfaction of a number of
conditions, including:
(1) the receipt of all necessary approvals of the acquisition by governmental
agencies and authorities, including the Federal Reserve and the Utah
Commissioner of financial Institutions, and each of such approvals shall
remain in full force and effect at the Effective Time;

net assets, shareholders' equity, business or operating results of CAPITAL
and CCB, taken as a whole, or BANC ONE and its subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, from June 30, 1993 to the Effective Time, that has had a material
adverse effect;
(3) compliance by CAPITAL, BANC ONE and Banc One Arizona with their respective
covenants and confirmation of their respective representations and
warranties as set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the agreement
of CAPITAL that, except with the approval of BANC ONE or as otherwise
permitted by the Merger Agreement, it will not
(a) from June 30, 1993 to the Effective Time, pay any cash dividends,
except as permitted under the Merger Agreement;
(b) effect any changes in connection with its equity capitalization; or
(c) conduct its banking operations other than in the ordinary course of
business;
(4) approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the requisite vote of
stockholders of CAPITAL Common Stock (see "MERGER-General" and "VOTING AND
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION-Voting");
(5) receipt by CAPITAL and BANC ONE of the opinion relative to the Federal
income tax consequences referred to under the caption "MERGER-Federal
Income Tax Consequences";
(6) receipt by BANC ONE of an opinion from CAPITAL's counsel and receipt by
CAPITAL of an opinion from counsel for BANC ONE and Banc One Arizona,
which opinions are to be in the general form of those annexed to the
Merger Agreement;
(7) satisfaction by BANC ONE and CAPITAL of the respective earnings tests set
forth in the Merger Agreement or as otherwise agreed between the parties;
(8) fractional share interests in BANC ONE Common Stock to be paid to former
holders of CAPITAL Common Stock in cash in the exchange (see
"MERGER-Fractional Shares") and shares of BANC ONE Common Stock to which
holders of CAPITAL Common Stock would have been entitled as of the
consummation of the Merger, but who have taken steps to perfect their
rights as dissenting stockholders pursuant to applicable law, shall not
exceed 10% of the maximum aggregate number of shares of BANC ONE Common
Stock which could be issued as a result of the Merger and Consolidation;
(9) the shares of BANC ONE Common Stock to be issued in exchange for CAPITAL
Common Stock shall have been listed on the NYSE;
(10) receipt by BANC ONE of the written opinion of Coopers & Lybrand,
independent certified public accountants, that the transaction
contemplated by the Merger Agreement may be properly accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests;
(11) the total number of shares of CAPITAL Common Stock issued and outstanding
shall not be more than 150,345 shares; and
(12) Receipt of an opinion from an Investment Banker to the effect that the
Merger and Consolidation are fair to the shareholders of CAPITAL and CCB,
respectively, from a financial point of view.
The provisions of the Merger Agreement, including the foregoing conditions, may
be waived at any time by the party which is entitled to the benefits thereof.
However, after the stockholders of CAPITAL have approved the Merger Agreement,
CAPITAL may only amend the Merger Agreement if, in the opinion of CAPITAL's
Board of Directors, such amendment will not have a material adverse effect on
the benefits intended under the Merger Agreement for the stockholders of
CAPITAL.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time
of the Merger, whether before or after approval by the stockholders of CAPITAL,
by written notice from BANC ONE to CAPITAL, or from CAPITAL to BANC ONE, as the
case may be, upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) if any material
condition to either party's obligations under the Merger Agreement is not
satisfied or waived at the time or times contemplated thereby (each party's
right to terminate under this clause (i) shall relate only to conditions to
that party's obligations); (ii) in the event of a material breach by a party of
any representation, warranty, condition or agreement contained in the Merger
Agreement that is not cured within 30 days of the giving of notice to such
party by the other party; or (iii) if the Merger shall not have been
consummated on or before July 15, 1994. The Merger Agreement also may be
terminated, and the Merger thereby abandoned, by the mutual consent of the
Boards of Directors of CAPITAL and BANC ONE at any time prior to the effective
date of the Merger.
CAPITAL, by action of its Board of Directors, may elect to terminate the Merger
Agreement, whether before or after approval of the Merger by the stockholders
of CAPITAL, by giving written notice of such election to BANC ONE within two
NYSE trading days after the Valuation Period (the ten consecutive days on which
shares of BANC ONE Common are traded on the NYSE ending on the sixth NYSE
trading day immediately prior to the consummation of the merger) provided that
the average price during the Valuation Period is less than $31.82.
If the Merger is not consummated other than by reason of a willful breach of
any party to the Merger Agreement, CAPITAL, BANC ONE and Banc One Arizona will
each pay all of its own expenses incurred incident to such transaction, except
for printing expenses which will be paid by BANC ONE.

Consummation of the Consolidation is subject to certain conditions including
(but not limited to) the following significant conditions:
(1) approval of the Consolidation by the Utah Commissioner and the OCC;
(2) ratification and confirmation of the Consolidation Agreement by the
requisite vote of CCB shareholders and the Bank One Utah shareholder, Banc
One Arizona, (see "Consolidation--General" and "Voting by CCB
Shareholders");
(3) redemption of the preferred stock of CCB and the exercise of all
outstanding options for CCB Common Stock; and
(4) Consummation of the Merger.
As a result of the Consolidation being conditioned upon consummation of the

the Consolidation.
The Consolidation Agreement may be amended at any time by agreement between
Bank One Utah and CCB. The Consolidation may be terminated at any time by CCB
and Bank One Utah and by either bank in the event the Merger Agreement is
terminated.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger
The following is a summary of certain material U.S. Federal income tax
consequences of the Merger, including certain consequences to holders of
CAPITAL Common Stock who are citizens or residents of the United States and who
hold their shares as capital assets. It does not discuss all tax consequences
that may be relevant to CAPITAL stockholders subject to special Federal income
tax treatment (such as insurance companies, dealers in securities, certain
retirement plans, financial institutions, tax exempt organizations or foreign
persons), or to CAPITAL stockholders who acquired their shares of CAPITAL
Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as
compensation. The summary does not address the state, local or foreign tax
consequences of the Merger, if any.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, CAPITAL and BANC ONE will
receive the opinion of Gerrish & McCreary, P.C., dated as of the Effective
Time, to the effect that, for Federal income tax purposes:
(1) The Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section
368(a)(1)(A) and Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code;
(2) No gain or loss will be recognized by BANC ONE or CAPITAL as a consequence
of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;
(3) No gain or loss will be recognized by the stockholders of CAPITAL on the
exchange of their shares of CAPITAL Common Stock for shares of BANC ONE
Common Stock, except as described below with respect to cash received
pursuant to the exercise of statutory dissenters' rights or for fractional
share interests;
(4) The Federal income tax basis of the BANC ONE Common Stock (including
fractional share interests) received by holders of CAPITAL Common Stock
will be the same as the Federal income tax basis of the CAPITAL Common
Stock surrendered in exchange therefor; and
(5) The holding period of the BANC ONE Common Stock received by a holder of
CAPITAL Common Stock will include the period for which the CAPITAL Common
Stock exchanged therefor was held, provided the exchanged CAPITAL Common
Stock was held as a capital asset by such holder on the date of the
exchange.
A CAPITAL stockholder who receives cash in lieu of a fractional share interest
in BANC ONE Common Stock will be treated as having received the cash in
redemption of the fractional share interest. The receipt of cash in lieu of a
fractional share interest should generally result in capital gain or loss to
the holder equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the
portion of the holder's Federal income tax basis in the CAPITAL Common Stock
allocable to the fractional share interest. Such capital gain or loss will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the holder's holding period for the BANC ONE
Common Stock received, determined as set forth above, is longer than one year.
A dissenting stockholder who receives cash in exchange for shares of CAPITAL
Common Stock will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference
between the amount of cash received and the holder's Federal income tax basis
in the shares. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or
loss if the holder has held the shares for more than one year as of the
Effective Time of the Merger.
Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Consolidation
A tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the tax
consequences of the Consolidation has not been requested. Tax counsel for
CAPITAL, CCB and BANC ONE have, however, advised CAPITAL and CCB that the
exchange by CCB's minority shareholders of their shares of CCB Common Stock for
shares of BANC ONE Common may result in a taxable event to such shareholders.
It is uncertain whether the exchange of CCB Common Stock for shares of BANC ONE
Common by the minority shareholders of CCB pursuant to the Consolidation
Agreement will require such shareholders to recognize gain or loss equal to the
difference of the tax basis of their shares of CCB Common Stock and the fair
market value of the BANC ONE Common they receive pursuant to the Consolidation.
Tax Consequences -- General
THE INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION
ONLY AND IS BASED ON THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (AND AUTHORITIES THEREUNDER) AS
IN EFFECT ON THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS, WITHOUT CONSIDERATION OF THE
PARTICULAR FACTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY STOCKHOLDER. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED
TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER IN THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS
CONSEQUENCES UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS.
Conversion of Shares and Exchange of Certificates
Upon consummation of the Merger and the Consolidation, the outstanding shares
of CAPITAL Common Stock and CCB Common Stock will be converted into shares of
BANC ONE Common Stock at the Exchange Rate calculated as described under the
captions "MERGER--Exchange Rate" and "Consolidation--Exchange Rate,"
respectively. Except in the event that CAPITAL, CCB or BANC ONE shall declare
a stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide, split up, reclassify or
combine their respective Common Stock or declare a dividend, or make a
distribution, on their respective Common Stock in any security convertible into
such Common Stock prior to the time the Merger and Consolidation become
effective, no further adjustments will be made in the Exchange Rate or the
Consolidation Exchange Rate. However, in the event of such a transaction,
appropriate adjustment will be made in the Exchange Rate and the Consolidation
Exchange Rate. The Exchange Rate and the Consolidation Exchange Rate have been
adjusted to reflect the 5 shares for 4 shares common stock split declared by
BANC ONE's Board of Directors on July 20, 1993 and payable August 31, 1993 to
shareholders of record on August 3, 1993 and the 10% stock dividend declared by
BANC ONE's Board of Directors on January 25, 1994 and payable on March 4, 1994
to shareholders of record on February 16, 1994.
As soon as practicable after the Merger and Consolidation become effective,
instructions and forms will be furnished to the stockholders of CAPITAL and CCB
for use in exchanging their CAPITAL and CCB share certificates for certificates
of BANC ONE Common Stock. If any certificate for shares of BANC ONE Common
Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate for
shares of CAPITAL Common Stock or CCB Common Stock surrendered for exchange is
registered, the certificate so surrendered must be properly endorsed or
otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such
exchange must pay to BANC ONE or its transfer agent any applicable transfer or
other taxes required by reason of the issuance of the certificate.
Until so surrendered, certificates formerly representing shares of CAPITAL
Common Stock and CCB Common Stock will be deemed for all purposes to evidence
ownership of the number of shares of BANC ONE Common Stock into which such
shares have been converted. Dividends and other distributions, if any, that
become payable on BANC ONE Common Stock pending exchange of certificates
representing shares of CAPITAL Common Stock and CCB Common Stock will be
retained by BANC ONE until surrender of such certificates, at which time such
dividends and distributions will be paid, without interest. In addition, after
the Effective Time the holders of certificates formerly representing shares of
CAPITAL Common Stock and CCB Common Stock shall cease to have rights with
respect to such shares (except such rights, if any, as holders of certificates
representing CAPITAL Common Stock or CCB Common Stock may have as dissenting
stockholders), and, except as aforesaid, their sole rights shall be to exchange
such certificates for shares of BANC ONE Common Stock in accordance with the
Merger Agreement and Consolidation Agreement.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of BANC ONE Common Stock will be exchanged for shares of
CAPITAL Common Stock or CCB Common Stock. In lieu thereof, each stockholder of
CAPITAL and CCB having a fractional interest resulting from the exchange of
CAPITAL Common Stock and CCB Common Stock for BANC ONE Common Stock will be
paid by BANC ONE an amount in cash equal to the value of such fractional
interest based upon the closing price of BANC ONE Common Stock on the NYSE on
the fifth day immediately preceding the day on which the merger is consummated
during which shares of BANC ONE Common Stock are traded on the NYSE as reported
in The Wall Street Journal for NYSE Composite Transactions.
Resales by Affiliates
The shares of BANC ONE Common Stock issuable to CAPITAL and CCB stockholders
upon consummation of the Merger and Consolidation, respectively, have been
registered under the Securities Act, but such registration does not cover
resales by affiliates of CAPITAL and CCB ("Affiliates"). BANC ONE Common Stock
received and beneficially owned by those CAPITAL and CCB stockholders who are
deemed to be Affiliates may be resold without registration as provided for by
Rule 145 under the Securities Act, or as otherwise permitted. The term
Affiliate is defined to include any person who, directly or indirectly,
controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with CAPITAL or CCB
at the time the Merger Agreement is submitted for approval by a vote of the
stockholders of CAPITAL Common Stock or CCB Common Stock. Each Affiliate who
desires to resell the BANC ONE Common Stock received in the Merger must sell
such BANC ONE Common Stock either (i) pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act, (ii) in accordance with the applicable
provisions of Rule 145 under the Securities Act or (iii) in a transaction
which, in the opinion of counsel for such Affiliate or as described in a
"no-action" or interpretive letter from the Staff of the Commission, in each
case reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to BANC ONE, states that
such resale is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
Rule 145(d) requires that persons deemed to be Affiliates resell their BANC ONE
Common Stock pursuant to certain of the requirements of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act if such BANC ONE Common Stock is sold within the first two years
after the receipt thereof. After two years, if such person is not an affiliate
of BANC ONE and BANC ONE is current in the filing of its periodic securities
law reports, a former Affiliate of CAPITAL or CCB may freely resell the BANC
ONE Common Stock received in the Merger without limitation. After three years
from the issuance of the BANC ONE Common Stock, if such person is not an
affiliate of BANC ONE at the time of sale or for at least three months prior to
such sale, such person may freely resell such BANC ONE Common Stock, without
limitation, regardless of the status of BANC ONE's periodic securities law
reports.
CAPITAL and CCB have agreed to provide BANC ONE with a list of those persons
who may be deemed to be Affiliates at the time of the CAPITAL Special Meeting
and CCB Special Meeting. CAPITAL and CCB will use their best efforts to cause
each such person to deliver to BANC ONE prior to the Effective Time a written
agreement to the effect that no sale will be made of any shares of BANC ONE
Common Stock received in the Merger or Consolidation by an Affiliate of CAPITAL
or CCB except (i) in accordance with the Securities Act and (ii) if, as it
expects to do, BANC ONE utilizes pooling-of-interests accounting in accounting
for the Merger, until such time as BANC ONE shall first publish the financial
results of at least 30 days of post-merger combined operations of CAPITAL and
BANC ONE, and CCB and Bank One Utah, provided that BANC ONE shall publish such
results not later than four months from the Effective Time. The certificates
of BANC ONE Common Stock issued to Affiliates of CAPITAL and CCB in the Merger
or Consolidation may contain an appropriate restrictive legend, and appropriate
stop transfer orders may be given to the transfer agent for such certificates.
Accounting Treatment
BANC ONE expects to account for the acquisition of CAPITAL as a pooling of
interests. BANC ONE does not expect to account for the acquisition of the
minority of CCB shares not owned by CAPITAL as a pooling of interests.
COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Description of BANC ONE Stock
General. The authorized capital stock of BANC ONE consists of 600,000,000
shares of BANC ONE Common Stock and 35,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
without par value ("Preferred Stock"), divided into 10,000,000 shares of Class
A Preferred Stock, 1,000,000 shares of Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
("Class B Preferred Stock") and 24,000,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock of
which the $3.50 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock constitutes a series
("Series C Preferred Stock"). As of September 30, 1993, there were issued and
outstanding 5,000,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 341,046,391 shares
of BANC ONE Common Stock, after giving effect to the 5 for 4 share stock split
in BANC ONE Common Stock.
The following summary of the terms of BANC ONE's capital stock does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable
provisions of the Ohio General Corporation Law and BANC ONE's Articles.
Common Stock. Holders of BANC ONE Common Stock are entitled to receive
dividends out of funds legally available therefor as and if declared by the
Board of Directors, provided that, so long as any shares of Preferred Stock are
outstanding, no dividends (other than dividends payable in BANC ONE Common
Stock) or other distributions (including redemptions and purchases) may be made
with respect to the BANC ONE Common Stock unless full cumulative dividends on
the shares of Preferred Stock have been paid.
Holders of shares of BANC ONE Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each
share for the election of directors and on all other matters. Holders of BANC
ONE Common Stock vote together as a class with holders of Class B Preferred
Stock. Generally, holders of Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights.
The issued and outstanding shares of BANC ONE Common Stock are fully paid and
nonassessable. The holders of BANC ONE Common Stock are not entitled to
preemptive rights or conversion or redemption rights. The BANC ONE Common
Stock does not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.
In the event of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of BANC ONE, holders of BANC ONE Common Stock will be entitled to
receive, pro rata, after satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors
(including holders of BANC ONE's indebtedness) and holders of Preferred Stock,
all the remaining assets of BANC ONE available for distribution.
Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue each class
of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to fix the designations, number of
shares, dividends, redemption rights, sinking fund requirements, liquidation
prices, conversion rights and other rights, qualifications, limitations or
restrictions thereon (except voting rights) as the Board of Directors may from
time to time be permitted by law to fix or change.
Currently, there are outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Holders
of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive out of funds legally
available therefor cumulative cash dividends at the annual rate of $3.50 per
share payable quarterly on the last day of March, June, September and December
in each year.
In the event that full cumulative dividends on outstanding shares of Series C
Preferred Stock have not been paid, no dividends may be declared or paid on,
and no amounts may be set aside or applied to the redemption or purchase of,
any shares of BANC ONE Common Stock or any other shares of capital stock of
BANC ONE ranking junior to shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
Upon the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
BANC ONE, holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a
preferential distribution of $50 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends,
if any.
Generally holders of shares of Series C Preferred Stock have no voting rights.
The approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred
Stock voting together as a class is required in order to amend BANC ONE's
Articles to affect adversely the rights of the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock or to take any action that would result in the creation of or
an increase in the number of authorized shares senior or superior with respect
to dividends or upon liquidation to the Series C Preferred Stock. Holders of
Series C Preferred Stock also have the right to elect two additional directors
during any period in which dividends on Series C Preferred Stock are
cumulatively in arrears in the amount of six or more full quarterly dividends.
At the option of the holder of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock, such
shares may be converted into shares of BANC ONE Common Stock at the conversion
rate then in effect. The present conversion rate is 1.75360 shares of BANC ONE
Common Stock for each share of Series C Preferred Stock and is subject to
adjustment for stock dividends, subdivisions, splits (the conversion rate has
been adjusted to reflect the 5 shares for 4 shares common stock split declared
by Banc One's Board of Directors on July 20, 1993 and payable August 31, 1993
to shareholders of record on August 3, 1993 and the 10% stock dividend declared
by BANC ONE's Board of Directors on January 25, 1994 and payable March 4, 1994
to shareholders of record on February 16, 1994) and combinations and any
distribution of rights or warrants to purchase BANC ONE Common Stock at a price
per share less than the BANC ONE Common Stock's then-current market value.
The issued shares of Series C Preferred Stock may be redeemed, in whole or in
part, by BANC ONE at its election at any time after April 15, 1995, at a
redemption price of [$52.10] per share during the period from April 15, 1995,
to but not including March 31, 1996, and thereafter at the redemption prices
during the 12-month periods beginning on March 31 of the years shown below,
plus accrued and unpaid dividends, if any.

Special Voting Requirements for Certain Transactions
Article Eleventh of BANC ONE's Articles incorporates, to a large extent, the
provisions of the Ohio control share acquisition statute (Section 1701.831 of
the Ohio Revised Code). Article Eleventh sets forth procedures for obtaining
shareholder consent of "control share acquisitions" subject to the right of the
Board of Directors to screen out proposals that do not meet certain standards
set forth in Article Eleventh. Article Eleventh defines a "control share
acquisition" as any acquisition, directly or indirectly, of shares of BANC ONE
which, when added to all other shares of BANC ONE owned or controlled by the
acquiror, would entitle the acquiror, alone or with others, to exercise or
direct the exercise of voting power in BANC ONE in the election of directors
within any of the following ranges of voting power: (a) one-fifth or more but
less than one-third; (b) one-third or more but less than a majority; and (c) a
majority or more. A bank, broker, nominee, trustee, or other person who
acquires shares in the ordinary course of business for the benefit of others in
good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing Article Eleventh shall,
however, be deemed to have voting power only of shares in respect of which such
person would be able to exercise or direct the exercise of votes without
further instruction from others at a meeting of shareholders called under
Article Eleventh. A control share acquisition which meets certain criteria set
forth in Article Eleventh as determined by the Board of Directors must be
presented to a meeting of the shareholders of BANC ONE and approved by the
affirmative vote of both (a) a majority of the voting power represented at the
meeting and (b) a majority of that portion of such voting power excluding any
"interested shares"; that is, those shares held by the acquiring person,
executive officers of BANC ONE and employees of BANC ONE who are also
directors. Article Eleventh may be amended by a vote of 85% of the votes
entitled to be cast by all holders of voting stock.
BANC ONE's Articles also include a "fair price" provision which is designed to
provide reasonable assurances to shareholders that in the event any shareholder
or group of shareholders acquires 20% or more of BANC ONE's voting stock (the
"Acquiror") and then seeks to acquire all or part of the remaining voting stock
through a merger or other transaction which would force a change or termination
of the other shareholders' ownership interests (a "Business Combination"), such
other shareholders must receive consideration at least equivalent to that paid
by the Acquiror in acquiring its 20% stock interest, unless the Business
Combination is approved either (i) by a majority of directors who are unrelated
to the Acquiror or (ii) by the affirmative vote of 75% of all the votes
entitled to be cast by all holders of voting stock and 67% of the votes
entitled to be cast by all holders of voting stock held by shareholders other
than the Acquiror ("Special Shareholder Vote").
This provision operates by requiring that after an Acquiror emerges, any
Business Combination which has the effect of requiring shareholders to
surrender their shares must satisfy one of the following conditions:
(a) Fair Consideration to Shareholders. The terms of the Business
Combination must provide for payment of consideration which is at
least equivalent to the highest price paid to other shareholders by
the Acquiror in acquiring its 20% stock position and must be approved
by shareholders as otherwise required by applicable law; or
(b) Unrelated Director Approval. The Business Combination must be
approved as fair to shareholders by a majority of the directors who
are not affiliated with the Acquiror and who were directors before the
Acquiror acquired its 20% stock position or who were nominated or
elected to succeed such directors by the other unaffiliated directors
("Unrelated Directors") and must be approved by shareholders as
otherwise required by applicable law; or
(c) Special Shareholder Vote. The Business Combination must be approved
by a Special Shareholder Vote.
The Article containing this provision may be amended only by a vote of 85% of
the votes entitled to be cast by all holders of voting stock, unless the
amendment is approved unanimously by the Unrelated Directors, in which case
only majority shareholder approval would be required.
Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code (the "Ohio Statute") is similar to the
"fair price" provision contained in BANC ONE's Articles. The Ohio Statute
prohibits an "Issuing Public Corporation" from engaging in a "Chapter 1704
Transaction" with an "Interested Shareholder" for a period of three years
following the date on which the person becomes an "Interested Shareholder"
unless, prior to such date, the directors of the "Issuing Public Corporation"
approve either the "Chapter 1704 Transaction" or the acquisition of shares
pursuant to which such person became an "Interested Shareholder." An "Issuing
Public Corporation" is an Ohio corporation with 50 or more shareholders which
has its principal place of business, principal executive offices or substantial
assets within the State of Ohio. BANC ONE is currently an Issuing Public
Corporation. An "Interested Shareholder" is any person who is the beneficial
owner of a sufficient number of shares to allow such person, directly or
indirectly, alone or with others, including affiliates and associates, to
exercise or direct the exercise of 10% of the voting power of the Issuing
Public Corporation. A "Chapter 1704 Transaction" includes any merger,
consolidation, combination or majority share acquisition between or involving
an Issuing Public Corporation and an Interested Shareholder or an affiliate or
associate of an Interested Shareholder. A Chapter 1704 Transaction also
includes certain transfers of property, dividends and issuance or transfers of
shares, from or by an Issuing Public Corporation or a subsidiary of an Issuing
Public Corporation to, with or for the benefit of an Interested Shareholder or
an affiliate or associate of an Interested Shareholder unless such transaction
is in the ordinary course of business of the Issuing Public Corporation on
terms no more favorable to the Interested Shareholder than those acceptable to
third parties as demonstrated by contemporaneous transactions. Finally,
Chapter 1704 Transactions include certain transactions which (i) increase the
proportionate share ownership of an Interested Shareholder, (ii) result in the
adoption of a plan or proposal for the dissolution, winding up of the affairs
or liquidation of the Issuing Public Corporation if such plan is proposed by or
on behalf of the Interested Shareholder, or (iii) pledge or extend the credit
or financial resources of the Issuing Public Corporation to or for the benefit
of the Interested Shareholder.
After the initial three-year moratorium has expired, an Issuing Public
Corporation may engage in a Chapter 1704 Transaction if (i) the acquisition of
shares pursuant to which the person became an Interested Shareholder received
the prior approval of the board of directors of the Issuing Public Corporation,
(ii) the Chapter 1704 Transaction is approved by the affirmative vote of the
holders of shares representing at least two-thirds of the voting power of the
Issuing Public Corporation and by the holders of at least a majority of voting
shares which are not beneficially owned by an Interested Shareholder or an
affiliate or associate of an Interested Shareholder, or (iii) the Chapter 1704
Transaction meets certain statutory tests designed to ensure that it be
economically fair to all shareholders.
Comparison of BANC ONE Common Stock,
CAPITAL Common Stock and CCB Common Stock
The rights of shareholders of BANC ONE are governed by BANC ONE's Articles and
Code of Regulations and the applicable provisions of the Ohio law, while the
rights of the shareholders of CAPITAL and CCB are governed by their Articles
and Bylaws and the applicable provisions of the Utah Code Annotated. If the
holders of CAPITAL Common Stock approve the Merger Agreement and the Merger is
subsequently consummated, holders of CAPITAL Common Stock will become holders
of BANC ONE Common Stock. Likewise, if the holders of CCB Common Stock, other
than CAPITAL, approve the Consolidation Agreement and the Consolidation
Agreement is subsequently consummated, those holders of CCB Common Stock will
become holders of BANC ONE Common Stock. The following comparison of the
rights of holders of CAPITAL Common Stock, CCB Common Stock and BANC ONE Common
Stock is based on current terms of the governing documents of the respective
companies, and on the current provisions of applicable state law.
The rights of holders of CAPITAL Common Stock, CCB Common Stock and holders of
BANC ONE Common Stock are similar in several respects: each shareholder is
entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders, each shareholder is entitled to receive pro rata any assets
distributed to shareholders upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
affairs of the company (after all creditors have been satisfied and requisite
preferential amounts are paid to the holders of outstanding preferred stock),
each shareholder has no preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase any
stock or other securities in proportion to their respective holdings upon the
offering or sale by BANC ONE, CCB or CAPITAL of such securities to others.
Although it is impracticable to note all the differences between Ohio law and
Utah law generally and all of the differences between the applicable governing
documents of BANC ONE, CCB and CAPITAL, the following is intended to be a
summary of certain significant differences between the rights of holders of
BANC ONE Common Stock and the rights of holders of CAPITAL Common Stock and CCB
Common Stock.
Election and Removal of Directors. The directors of CCB, CAPITAL and BANC ONE
are elected by the shareholders and may be removed with or without cause by the
shareholders. Cumulative voting is not allowed in the election of directors of
BANC ONE, Capital or CCB.
Dividends. Under Ohio law, dividends may be paid out of surplus, including
both earned surplus and capital surplus, in cash, property or shares of the
corporation, provided that such dividend payments are not in violation of the
rights of any other class of securities and are not made when the corporation
is insolvent or there is reasonable ground to believe that by such payment it
will be rendered insolvent. A Utah corporation may pay dividends, except that
no such distribution if, after giving it effect (a) the corporation would not
be able to pay its debts as they become due in the normal course of business or
(b) the corporation's total assets would be less than the sum of its total
liabilities plus the amount needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at
the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution
of shareholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the
distribution. The payment of dividends by banks and bank holding companies
also is subject to certain regulatory constraints. Dividends paid by both BANC
ONE and CAPITAL are subject to Federal income tax. However, it is suggested
that in connection with voting on the Merger or Consolidation, stockholders
contact their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences of the Merger to
them.
Supermajority and Fair Price Provisions. Neither Utah law nor CAPITAL or CCB's
Articles contain provisions similar to the provisions of BANC ONE's Articles
relating to control share acquisitions and fair price provisions for business
combinations. BANC ONE's Articles contain provisions requiring a supermajority
vote for certain business combinations. See "COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF
SHAREHOLDERS- Special Voting Requirements for Certain Transactions." Utah law
generally requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the
shares of each class entitled to vote to approve a merger, consolidation, share
exchange or sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially
all of CAPITAL's assets. No vote of CAPITAL shareholders is required to
approve a merger if (a) CAPITAL is the surviving corporation of the merger, (b)
the related plan of merger does not amend CAPITAL's Articles, (c) each share of
CAPITAL stock outstanding immediately before the merger is to be an identical
outstanding or treasury share of CAPITAL after the merger and (d) the number of
shares of CAPITAL to be issued in the merger (or to be issuable upon conversion
of any convertible instruments to be issued in the merger) does not exceed 20%
of the voting stock of CAPITAL outstanding immediately before the merger.
In addition to being subject to the laws of Utah and Ohio, respectively, CCB,
CAPITAL and BANC ONE, as a bank and bank holding companies, are subject to
various provisions of federal law with respect to mergers, consolidations and
certain other corporate transactions.
Evaluation of Tender Offers and Business Combinations. In evaluating an
acquisition proposal, Ohio law includes a provision which permits directors, in
determining whether any matter is in the best interests of the corporation, to
take into consideration the interests of the corporation's employees,
suppliers, creditors and customers, the economy of the state and the nation,
community and societal considerations and the long-term and short-term
interests of the corporation and its stockholders, including the possibility
that such interests may be best served by the continued independence of the
corporation. No similar applicable provision is included in the Utah Code
Annotated or the Articles of CAPITAL or CCB.
Amendment of Governing Documents. BANC ONE's Articles may be amended by the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of BANC ONE,
except that amendments to the "control share acquisition" and "fair price"
provisions require a supermajority vote. See "COMPARATIVE RIGHTS OF
SHAREHOLDERS--Special Voting Requirements for Certain Transactions." The Code
of Regulations of BANC ONE may only be amended by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the voting power represented by the outstanding voting stock of
BANC ONE present in person or by proxy at an annual or special meeting called
for such purpose. Under Utah law, amendments to CAPITAL's Articles require the
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of CAPITAL's Common
Stock.
Appraisal Rights.
Under Utah law, any shareholder of CAPITAL or CCB is entitled to receive
payment of the fair value of such shareholder's shares of CAPITAL Common Stock
or CCB Common Stock if such shareholder dissents from (a) any merger for which
a vote of CAPITAL or CCB's shareholders is required or any consolidation to
which CAPITAL or CCB is a party, (b) any share exchange to which CAPITAL or CCB
is a party other than as the acquiring corporation or (c) any sale, lease,
exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of CAPITAL or CCB's
assets not made in the regular course of business. Shareholders of CAPITAL or
CCB may exercise dissenters' rights in connection with the Merger. See the
more detailed discussion below under "VOTING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION -
Rights of Dissenting Shareholders". Under Ohio Law, dissenting shareholders
are entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the lease, sale, exchange,
transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a
corporation and in connection with certain amendments to its articles of
incorporation. In addition, shareholders of an Ohio corporation being merged
into a new corporation are also entitled to appraisal rights. Shareholders of
an acquiring corporation are entitled to appraisal rights in a merger,
combination or majority share acquisition in which such shareholders are
entitled to voting rights.
Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.
Utah law provides that a corporation may indemnify a director against liability
incurred in any proceeding if the director conducted himself in good faith and
he reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with
the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation's best interests or
(b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the
corporation's best interests. In the case of any criminal proceeding, it is
further required that the director have no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful. A corporation must, unless otherwise limited by the
articles of incorporation, indemnify a director as against reasonable expenses
incurred by him when the director is wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to which he was a party. Also, unless
limited by the articles of incorporation, a director may apply for and a court
may order indemnification by the corporation if the court determines the
director is entitled to such mandatory indemnification. A corporation may also
pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a director in advance of
the final disposition of the proceeding when certain criteria are met.
A corporation may not indemnify a director in connection with a proceeding by
or in the right of the corporation in which the director is adjudged liable to
the corporation, or when the director is charged with improper personal benefit
and he is adjudged liable on the basis that the personal benefit was improperly
received by him. Unless limited by the articles of incorporation, a director
may apply for and a court may order indemnification by the corporation if the
court determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances (a) whether or not
the standards of conduct described above are satisfied or (b) whether or not
the director was adjudged liable with respect to a proceeding by or in the
right of the corporation or in a proceeding charging improper personal
benefit. Court-ordered indemnification in these last two situations is limited
to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Utah law also provides that a corporation's articles of incorporation may
eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors to the corporation or
its shareholders for any action taken or any failure to take any action, except
for the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which he is not
entitled, an intentional infliction to harm on the corporation or shareholders,
an intentional violation of criminal law or a violation of Utah Code Annotated
Section 16-10a-842. CAPITAL and CCB's Articles do not provide for such
limitations of director liability.
A Utah corporation must indemnify an officer of the corporation who is not a
director as to reasonable expenses incurred by the officer when the officer is
wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to
which he was a party, unless otherwise limited by the articles of
incorporation. An officer who is not a director may also apply for
court-ordered indemnification to the same extent as a director. With regard to
officers, employees or agents of the corporation who are not directors, a
corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to the same extent as a director
and, if provided for by its articles of incorporation, by-laws, resolution of
its shareholders or directors, or in a contract, to a greater extent than to a
director.
Under Ohio law, Ohio corporations are authorized to indemnify directors,
officers and agents within prescribed limits and must indemnify them under
certain circumstances. Ohio law does not provide statutory authorization for a
corporation to indemnify directors and officers for settlements, fines or
judgments in the context of derivative suits. However, it provides that
directors (but not officers) are entitled to mandatory advancement of expenses,
including attorneys' fees, incurred in defending any action, including
derivative actions, brought against the director, provided the director agrees
to cooperate with the corporation concerning the matter and to repay the amount
advanced if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence that his act or
failure to act was one with deliberate intent to cause injury to the
corporation or with reckless disregard for the corporation's best interests.
Ohio law does not authorize payment of expenses or judgments to an officer or
other agent after a finding of negligence or misconduct in a derivative suit
absent a court order. Indemnification is required, however, to the extent such
person succeeds on the merits. In all other cases, if a director or officer
acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in (or not
opposed to) the best interests of the corporation, indemnification is
discretionary except as otherwise provided by a corporation's articles, code of
regulations or by contract except with respect to the advancement of expenses
of directors. The statutory right to indemnity is not exclusive in Ohio. Ohio
law provides express authority for Ohio corporations to procure not only
insurance policies, but also to furnish protection similar to insurance,
including trust funds, letters of credit and self-insurance, or to provide
similar protection such as indemnity against loss of insurance.
Ohio law has codified the traditional business judgment rule. Ohio law
provides that the business judgment presumption of good faith may only be
overcome by clear and convincing evidence, rather than the preponderance of the
evidence standard applicable in most states. Further, Ohio law provides
specific statutory authority for directors to consider, in addition to the
interests of the corporation's shareholders, other factors such as the
interests of the corporation's employees, suppliers, creditors and customers;
the economy of the state and nation; community and societal considerations; the
long-term and short-term interests of the corporation and its shareholders; and
the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued
independence of the corporation.

B. INFORMATION ABOUT BANC ONE CORPORATION
General -- Business.
BANC ONE is a multi-bank holding company with bank subsidiaries in Arizona,
California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Utah,
West Virginia and Wisconsin. At December 31, 1993, BANC ONE had consolidated
total assets of $79.9 billion, consolidated total deposits of approximately
$60.9 billion and consolidated total stockholders' equity of approximately $7.0
billion. At December 31, 1993, BANC ONE ranked eighth among the nation's
publicly-owned bank holding companies in terms of period-end assets and at
December 31, 1992, BANC ONE ranked sixth among the nation's publicly owned bank
holding companies in terms of period-end common equity. For the year ended
December 31, 1993, BANC ONE's return on average assets was 1.53%.
As of December 31, 1993, BANC ONE owned indirectly all of the outstanding stock
of 82 commercial banks (the "affiliate banks"). Except for Bank One, Texas,
N.A., BANC ONE had no single affiliate bank comprising in excess of 20% of its
consolidated assets at December 31, 1993. BANC ONE also owns subsidiaries
which offer services in the areas of mortgage banking, credit card processing,
consumer finance, equipment leasing, fiduciary and trust services, venture
capital, credit life insurance, discount brokerage and data processing.
Since its formation in 1968, BANC ONE has acquired over 125 banking
institutions and the number of banking offices of its affiliate banks has
increased from 24 to over 1,300. BANC ONE anticipates that it will continue to
expand by acquisition in the future. BANC ONE is frequently in discussions
regarding possible acquisitions. See "Recent Developments" for information
with respect to pending and potential acquisitions.
BANC ONE is a legal entity separate and distinct from its affiliate banks and
its nonbanking subsidiaries. Accordingly, the right of BANC ONE, and thus the
right of BANC ONE's creditors and shareholders, to participate in any
distribution of the assets or earnings of any affiliate bank or other
subsidiary is necessarily subject to the prior claims of creditors of the
affiliate bank or subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of BANC ONE in
its capacity as a creditor may be recognized. The principal source of BANC
ONE's revenues is dividends and fees from its affiliates. See "Certain
Regulatory Matters" for a discussion of regulatory restrictions on the ability
of the affiliate banks to pay dividends to BANC ONE.
Recent Developments.
In recent years, BANC ONE has pursued an active acquisition program. The
following is a list of announced significant acquisitions that have not been
consummated as of the date of this Prospectus and Proxy Statement.
Liberty National Bancorp, Inc., a multi-bank holding company headquartered
in Louisville, Kentucky with assets of approximately $4.9 billion as of
December 31, 1993, which BANC ONE will acquire for approximately 24 million
shares of BANC ONE Common Stock.
BANC ONE has also announced three other acquisitions which are not material in
the aggregate. In addition, BANC ONE has recently terminated its pending
acquisitions of FirsTier Financial, Inc., a multi-bank holding company
headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska with assets of approximately $3.1 billion as
of December 31, 1993, and Nebraska Capital Corporation, a single bank holding
company headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska with assets of approximately $95
million as of December 31, 1993.
BANC ONE continues to explore opportunities to acquire banks and nonbank
companies permitted by the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Discussions are
continually being carried on relating to the acquisition of bank-related
companies and other banks. It is not presently known whether, or on what
terms, such discussions will result in further acquisitions. BANC ONE's
acquisition strategy is flexible in that it does not require BANC ONE to effect
specific acquisitions so as to enter certain markets or to attain specified
growth levels. Rather than being market driven or size motivated, BANC ONE's
acquisition strategy reflects BANC ONE's willingness to consider potential
acquisitions wherever and whenever such opportunities arise based on the
then-existing market conditions and other circumstances. Banks to be acquired
must be of sufficient size to support and justify having management of a
caliber capable of making lending and other management decisions at the local
level under BANC ONE's operating philosophy. BANC ONE also is willing from
time to time to acquire a smaller bank when it can be acquired through a
reorganization into an existing affiliate. BANC ONE's interest in the
acquisition of non-bank companies has been limited to bank-related services
with which BANC ONE already has familiarity. BANC ONE's acquisitions may be
made by the exchange of stock, through cash purchases, and with other
consideration.
Other than as described above, BANC ONE does not currently have any definite
understandings or agreements for any acquisitions material to BANC ONE.
However, BANC ONE anticipates that it will continue to expand by acquisition in
the future.
Certain Regulatory Matters
General
BANC ONE is subject to the supervision of, and to regular inspection by, the
Federal Reserve. BANC ONE's principal banking subsidiaries are organized as
national banking associations, which are subject to regulation by the
Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller"). In addition, various state
authorities regulate BANC ONE's state banking subsidiaries. Furthermore, the
various banking subsidiaries are subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and other federal bank regulatory bodies.
In addition to banking laws, regulations and regulatory agencies, BANC ONE and
its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to various other laws, regulations
and regulatory agencies, all of which directly or indirectly affect BANC ONE's
operations, management and ability to make distributions. The following
discussion summarizes certain aspects of those laws and regulations that affect
BANC ONE.
Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are
frequently raised in Congress, in the state legislatures and before the various
bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood and timing of any changes and the
impact such changes might have on BANC ONE and its subsidiaries are difficult
to determine.
According to Federal Reserve policy, bank holding companies are expected to act
as a source of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to commit
resources to support each such subsidiary. This support may be required at
times when a bank holding company may not be able to provide such support.
Furthermore, in the event of a loss suffered or anticipated by the FDIC --
either as a result of default of a banking or thrift subsidiary of BANC ONE or
related to FDIC assistance provided to a subsidiary in danger of default -- the
other banking subsidiaries of BANC ONE may be assessed for the FDIC's loss,
subject to certain exceptions.
BANC ONE's banks are affected by various state and federal laws and by the
fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies,
including the Federal Reserve. An important purpose of these policies is to
curb inflation and control recessions through control of the supply of money
and credit. The Federal Reserve uses its powers to regulate reserve
requirements of its member banks, the discount rate on its member bank
borrowings, interest rates on time and savings deposits of its member banks,
and to conduct open market operations in United States government securities so
as to exercise control over the supply of money and credit. These policies
have a direct effect on the amount of bank loans and deposits and on the
interest rates charged on loans and paid on deposits, with the result that
federal policies have a material effect on bank earnings. Policies which are
directed toward increasing the supply of money and credit and reducing interest
rates may have an adverse effect on bank earnings. Future policies of the
Federal Reserve and other authorities cannot be predicted, nor can their effect
on future bank earnings be predicted. Similarly, future changes in state and
federal laws and wage, price and other economic restraints of the federal
government cannot be predicted nor can their effect on future bank earnings be
predicted.
Capital Requirements
The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Comptroller have issued substantially
similar minimum risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for United States
banking organizations. In addition, those regulatory agencies may from time to
time require that a banking organization maintain capital above the minimum
levels, whether because of its financial condition or actual or anticipated
growth.
The Federal Reserve risk-based guidelines applicable to BANC ONE define a
two-tier capital framework. Tier 1 capital consists of common and qualifying
preferred shareholders' equity, minority interests less goodwill and certain
other intangible assets, and one-half of investments in unconsolidated
subsidiaries.
Tier 2 capital consists of mandatory convertible debt, subordinated and other
qualifying term debt, preferred stock not qualifying as Tier 1 capital and the
allowance for credit losses, subject to certain limitations less one-half of
investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries. The sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2
capital represents qualifying total capital, at least 50% of which must consist
of Tier 1 capital. Risk-based capital ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1
and total capital by the sum of four categories of risk-weighted assets, such
risk weights based primarily on relative credit risk. The regulatory minimum
qualifying total risk-based capital ratio is 8%, of which at least 4% must
consist of Tier 1 capital. BANC ONE's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital
ratios under these guidelines at December 31, 1993 were 10.45% and 14.19%,
respectively.
The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital by adjusted total
assets. Although the stated minimum ratio is 3%, most banking organizations
are required to maintain ratios of at least 4% to 5%. BANC ONE's estimated
leverage ratio at December 31, 1993 was 8.67%. Although BANC ONE has not been
informed of any specific leverage ratio requirement applicable to it,
management believes that BANC ONE meets its leverage ratio requirement.
Dividend Restrictions
Various Federal and state statutory provisions limit the amount of dividends
BANC ONE's affiliate banks can pay to BANC ONE without regulatory approval.
The approval of the appropriate bank regulator is required for any dividend by
a national bank or state member bank if the total of all dividends declared by
the bank in any calendar year would exceed the total of its net profits, as
defined by regulatory agencies, for such year combined with its retained net
profits for the preceding two years. In addition, a national bank or a state
member bank may not pay a dividend in an amount greater than its net profits
then on hand. Under these provisions and various state law restrictions, BANC
ONE's affiliate banks could have declared, as of December 31, 1993, without
obtaining prior regulatory approval, aggregate dividends of approximately $1.25
billion. In addition, federal bank regulatory authorities have authority to
prohibit the affiliate banks from engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice in
conducting their business. The payment of dividends, depending upon the
financial condition of the bank in question, could be deemed to constitute such
an unsafe or unsound practice. The ability of BANC ONE's affiliate banks to
pay dividends in the future is presently, and could be further, influenced by
bank regulatory policies and capital guidelines.
FDICIA
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the
"FDICIA"), which became law on December 19, 1991, revises several banking
statutes, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, affecting bank
regulation, deposit insurance and provisions for funding of the Bank Insurance
Fund (the "BIF") administered by the FDIC. Under FDICIA the bank regulators'
authority to intervene is linked to the deterioration of a bank's capital
level. In addition, FDICIA places limits on real estate lending and brokered
deposit activities, expands audit and reporting requirements, and imposes
limitations and requirements on various banking functions. BANC ONE believes
that the deposit insurance and brokered deposit limitations under FDICIA will
not have any material impact on the liquidity or funding of BANC ONE or its
affiliate banks.
Deposit Insurance Assessments
The deposits of each of BANC ONE's banks are insured up to regulatory limits by
the FDIC. Accordingly, BANC ONE's banks are subject to deposit insurance
assessments to maintain the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF") of the FDIC.
Pursuant to FDICIA, the FDIC must establish a risk-based insurance assessment
system by January 1, 1994.
On September 14, 1992, the FDIC adopted regulations to implement a transitional
risk-related insurance assessment system, starting January 1, 1993. Under this
system, the FDIC will place each insured bank in one of nine risk categories
based on its level of capital and other relevant information (such as
supervisory evaluations). Each insured bank's insurance assessment rate will
then be determined by the risk category in which it has been classified by the
FDIC. Under this transitional system, the average insurance assessment rate
will be .254% per $100 of deposits. However, there will be an eight basis
point spread between the highest and lowest assessment rates, so that banks
classified as strongest by the FDIC will be subject to a rate of $0.23 per $100
of deposits and banks classified as weakest by the FDIC will be subject to a
rate of $0.31 per $100 of deposits. The FDIC has indicated that it expects
that the majority of banks will be subject to an assessment rate of $0.23 per
$100 of deposits (the same rate as under the current flat-rate assessment
system). However, the FDIC has also indicated that it expects to recommend
that the permanent risk-related premium system, to be implemented in 1994,
incorporate a wider differential between the highest and lowest assessment
rates.

BANC ONE intends to continue its present policy of paying quarterly cash
dividends to its shareholders so that dividends as a percentage of income will
average between 35 and 40 percent of net income. The timing and amount of
future dividends will depend upon earnings, cash requirements, the financial
condition of BANC ONE and its subsidiaries, applicable government regulations
and other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. Certain debt
instruments to which BANC ONE is a party limit its ability to pay dividends on
BANC ONE Common Stock. Under the most restrictive of these limitations, BANC
ONE would have been permitted to pay cash dividends on BANC ONE Common Stock in
excess of its $1.25 billion of retained earnings as of December 31, 1993. As
described under "Certain Regulatory Matters," various state and federal laws
limit the ability of affiliate banks to pay dividends to BANC ONE.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information about Capital
Bancorp and subsidiary ("Capital"). Capital is a single bank holding company
which owns 86.39 percent (81.53 percent after the exercise of all outstanding
options) of the outstanding common stock of Capial city Bank (the "Bank").
Unless otherwise indicated the discussion and analysis refers to Capital as a
consolidated entity. All material intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
Comparisons and changes in financial condition and results of operations for
the nine months ended September 30, 1993 and 1992 and the years ended December
31, 1992, 1991 and 1990 are included. The discussion and analysis should be
reviewed in conjunction wiht the consolidated Financial Statements and
statistical data presented elsewhere herein.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1993 and 1992
Capital's net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 was
$1,162,230. This represented an increase of 34.2% or $296,375 over the
comparable nine month period in 1992. The increase was due to continued strong
loan origination and refinancing volume in the mortgage loan department, an
increase in related loan servicing income as well as higher fee income in other
areas. The results for 1993 include nine months of operations related to the
former United Bank of Murray ("United") which was acquired in late March 1992.
At September 30, 1993 Capital's total assets were $122,040,691 compared to
$113,456,959 at September 30, 1992. Investment securities and federal funds
sold accounted for $7,313,495 of the increase.
Loans and other receivables increased by $2,989,401 or 5.3% from September 30,
1992 to September 30, 1993. Growth in commercial loans and mortgage
construction loans was due to a combination of lower interest rates and
stronger customer demand. Meanwhile consumers have been paying off higher rate
installment loans contributing to a decrease of $818,586 in the installment
loan category.
Nonaccrual loans decreased by $185,000 or approximately 15% from September 30,
1992 to September 30, 1993. Capital had no other real estate owned as of
September 30, 1993 as compared to $126,483 at September 30, 1992. The ratio of
the allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned
was 86.3% and 64.3% at September 30, 1993 and 1992 respectively.
Total deposits increased by $12,431,227 from September 30, 1992 to September
30, 1993. The growth occurred primarily in the noninterest-bearing demand
category where customers involved in the mortgage refinance and housing markets
have seen burgeoning growth.
Total interest income increased from $6,109,932 to $6,846,063 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1992 and 1993 respectively. The single reduction in
the prime rate from 6.5% to 6.0% in July of 1992 had little impact on interest
income. The increase is attributable to higher average loan balances and a
shift out of fed funds into higher yielding investment securities.
Other operating income increased from $1,126,237 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1992 to $1,420,102 for the nine months ended September 30, 1993.
The increase is due to an increase in fees from servicing mortgage loans
originated and sold by Capital, higher bankcard volume, increases in service
charge fees and sales of annuity products. Other expenses increased from
$3,806,308 to $4,212,905 for the nine months ended September 30, 1992 and 1993,
respectively. The increases are in part due to the operations of United being
included for the full nine month period of 1993 versus approximately six months
of the comparable period in 1992.
Income tax expense for the first nine months of 1993 was $891,000 reflecting an
effective tax rate of approximately 37%. During the same period in 1992 income
tax expense totaled $492,500 or an effective tax rate of approximately 33%.
The lower effective tax rate in 1992 was due to general business credits which
were fully exhausted.
On January 1, 1993, Capital adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." The cumulative effect of the change in
method of accounting for income taxes was $60,000 and is reflected in the 1993
statement of income.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR THREE YEAR PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992
The following analysis of Capital Bancorp and subsidiary's (Capital) financial
condition and results of operations as of and for the years ended December 31,
1990 through 1992, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of Capital and the statistical data presented elsewhere
herein.
Overview
Capital does not engage in any substantial business activity other than as a
single bank holding company that holds 86.39 percent (81.53% after the exercise
of all outstanding options) of the outstanding common stock of Capital City
Bank (Bank). Unless otherwise noted, the following discussion relates to
Capital and its subsidiary on a consolidated basis.
Results of Operations
Net Income. Capital reported net income of $1,336,317 for the year ended
December 31, 1992, this represented an increase of $222,049 or 19.9% over net
income for 1991 of $1,114,268. Net income for 1991 as compared to 1990 rose
$494,606 or approximately 80%. Strong earnings during the past two years has
been due to the declining interest rate environment which has increased net
interest margins and has resulted in increased mortgage loan origination and
refinancing volume.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is interest earned on loans and
investments, less interest paid on deposits and debt. Net interest income
increased during 1992 by $1,657,591 or 36.9% to $6,155,629. The change was due
to an increase in average investments of $13,786,169 which more than offset the
effect of lower yields, an increase in average loans of nearly $5 million, and
a shift from higher paying certificates of deposit to lower interest bearing
savings and demand accounts.
Net interest income for 1991 and 1990 was $4,258,038 and $3,412,725
respectively, representing an increase of $845,313 or 24.8%. The effect of
lower interest rates exceeded the impact of higher deposit volume resulting in
a decrease in interest expense of $225,621. Higher volume of interest earning
assets combined with lower rates resulted in an increase in interest income of
$586,192.
Other Operating Income. Other operating income increased by $311,119 or 25.6%
during 1992 as compared to the same period in 1991. The increase was due to
general growth in existing operations, the acquisition of United which was
completed in March 1992 and an increase in gains on the sale of investment
securities which totaled $114,543 in 1992 as compared to $44,159 in 1991.
Other operating income increased 16.7% or $174,130 from 1990 to 1991. Included
in the increase is a net change from sales of securities of $63,631.
Other Expenses. Other expenses increased by $1,062,068 or 26% during 1992 as
compared to 1991. Higher salaries, building and furniture and fixture costs
were related to the acquisition of United. Additionally, approximately
$125,000 of direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed during the
year. From 1990 to 1991 other expenses increased by $366,958 or approximately
10%. The increases were primarily attributable to general growth in operations
but also included an increase of $63,346 or 93% in the cost of FDIC insurance
premiums.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes totaled $799,240 for 1992
reflecting an effective income tax rate of 34%. The rate was lower than
expected due to utilization of general business credits. Income tax expense in
1991 and 1990 included the tax benefit of net operating losses which were
acquired through a merger with another financial institution in 1987. The
extraordinary tax benefit from the tax loss carryforwards was $280,250 in 1991
and $210,800 in 1990.
Financial Condition
Investments. Investment securities held by Capital more than trebled during
1992 increasing by $28,979,602 to $43,026,430. Approximately $10 million of
the increase was related to the acquisition of United which had a very low loan
to deposit ratio. Weak loan demand and strong growth in deposits resulted in
the additional increase in the investment portfolio. The majority of the funds
were invested in U.S. treasury and government agency securities.
During the year ended December 31, 1991 the investment portfolio increased by
$1,557,659 or 12.5% to total $14,046,828. Corporate securities decreased by
$3,630,904 during the period with increased holdings of U.S. treasury and
government agency securities accounting for the difference.
Loans. For the year ended December 31, 1992 loans and other receivables
increased by nearly $9 million or 19%. During 1991 loans and other receivables
experienced a small decrease of $268,521 or less than 1%. The increase during
1992 was primarily a result of the acquisition of United and an increase in
mortgage loan and construction activity. Capital emphasizes lending to small
businesses engaged in a variety of wholesale, manufacturing and retail
industries. No single industry accounts for more than 10% of the commercial
loan portfolio and Capital has no foreign or energy loan exposure. Commercial
loans account for approximately 70-75% of the loan portfolio with real estate
loans making up 15% and the remaining 10% of the portfolio being comprised of
consumer; auto, home equity and personal loans. As of December 31, 1992, loans
which were 90 days or more past due and accruing interest plus loans on
nonaccrual status constituted 3.8% of the loan portfolio as compared to 2.2% as
of December 31, 1991 and 2.4% as of December 31, 1990.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $1,001,270 or 1.8% of total loans
outstanding as of December 31, 1992. The loan loss allowance as a percentage
of total loans was 1.6% and 1.4% for the years ended December 31, 1991 and
1990, respectively. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management
believes will be adequate to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. The
allowance is based upon a combination of specific reserves for adversely graded
loans and general reserves based on historical net charge off percentages for
different categories of credits. The loan loss methodology also considers
other factors such as changes in the mix of the loan portfolio, changes in
underwriting conditions and current and forecasted changes in the general
economy.
Management considers the reserve to be adequate given its method of evaluating
risk in the loan portfolio, economic conditions and prior loan loss experience.
Deposits. Total deposits increased by $17.5 million or 24% for the year ended
December 31, 1992. The increase in deposits for 1991 as compared to 1990 was
$9.1 million or 14.7%. Most of the increase in 1992 was the result of the
acquisition of United. The increase in 1991 was attributable to general growth
of the Bank. During the past two years Capital as well as the overall banking
industry has seen a dramatic change in the deposit mix. Certificates of
deposit which comprised 25% of total deposits at December 31, 1990 had
decreased to 12.3% of deposits at December 31, 1992. Savings accounts during
the same period increased from 4.4% of total deposits at December 31, 1990 to
22.2% of deposits at December 31, 1992. Rates being lowered on certificates of
deposit at a faster rate than on savings deposits accounts for the difference
in deposit mix. Capital continues to maintain a high level of noninterest
bearing deposits in its funding sources. Noninterest bearing demand deposits
accounted for 35.7%, 41% and 28.1% of total deposits as of December 31, 1992,
1991 and 1990, respectively. Capital had no brokered deposits during the three
years ended December 31, 1992.
Capital. In order to facilitate the acquisition of United in 1992, Bank issued
$1,200,000 of noncumulative perpetual preferred stock. Additionally, 6,114
shares of Bank common stock was issued in order to strengthen capital ratios.
Effective December 31, 1992, banks are required to maintain minimum levels of
capital to risk weighted assets. The Tier 1 minimum capital guideline is four
percent and the Tier 2 minimum capital guideline is 8%. As of December 31,
1992 the Bank's Tier 1 risk weighted capital ratio was 12.93% and its Tier 2
ratio was 14.18%. The Bank's average equity to average quarterly assets was
7.01% at December 31, 1992 and 6.92% at December 31, 1991.
Liquidity. Liquidity is the ability to meet cash flow requirements which may
arise from existing or new commitments to lend money and meet fluctuating
withdrawals from depository accounts. Capital's core deposit base spread over
its seven branches has historically provided a stable, low cost source of
funds. A portion of these funds have been invested in high credit quality
securities of mixed maturities, providing a steady stream of maturing and
reinvestable assets, which can be converted to cash without loss of value
should the need arise. At December 31, 1992 approximately one half of the loan
portfolio was due to mature within one year providing additional flexibility in
managing cash flows. As a final measure Capital has available wholesale
funding sources including the Federal Home Loan Bank where funding can be
obtained on short notice for periods of overnight or up to twenty years.
Inflation. Assets and liabilities of a financial institution are principally
monetary in nature. Accordingly, interest rates, which generally correspond
with changes in expected inflation, have potentially the most significant
effect on Capital's net interest income. Capital attempts to mitigate the
effects of inflation (changing interest rates) by matching maturities of
interest bearing assets and liabilities as closely as possible.
Income Taxes. For 1992 and prior Capital has computed its income tax liability
using the deferred method wherein annual income tax expense is matched with
pretax accounting income by providing deferred taxes at current tax rates on
timing differences between the determination of net income for financial
reporting and tax reporting purposes. Beginning in 1993 Capital was required
to adopt Financial Accounting Standard No. 109. Standard No. 109 requires an
asset and liability method to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax
basis of Capital's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be
in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Capital Bancorp:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of
Capital Bancorp and subsidiary as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1992.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital
Bancorp and subsidiary as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1992 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

CAPITAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 1992, 1991, and 1990
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Description of the Business
Capital Bancorp and its subsidiary (the Company) operate seven banking
locations in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. The Company grants
commercial, residential, and installment loans to customers located
primarily in Salt Lake County. The Company emphasizes lending to small
businesses that offer a wide range of products and services.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include accounts of Capital Bancorp
and its subsidiary. The Company owns 86.39 percent of Capital City Bank's
(the Bank) common stock. All material intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Investment Securities
Nonequity investment securities are carried at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Because it is
generally management's intention to hold securities to maturity, they are
not adjusted to lower of cost or market. Equity securities are stated
at the lower of cost or market. Gain or loss on the sale of an investment
is recognized when realized, based upon specific identification.
(d) Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for
loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the
principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management
believes will be adequate to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. The
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review
of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect
the borrower's ability to pay. In addition, various regulatory
agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically
review the Company's allowances for losses on loans and real estate
owned. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions
to the allowances based on their judgments of information available to
them at the time of their examination.
Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes,
after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts,
that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of
interest is doubtful.
(e) Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over lives of from 5 to 35 years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the terms of related leases or the estimated useful
lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
CAPITAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(f) Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair market value.
For real estate acquired in the settlement of loans, cost includes the
uncollected loan balance. Costs relating to the development and
improvement of property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the
property are charged to expense.
(g) Income Taxes
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
supersedes SFAS No. 96. The Company elected not to adopt SFAS No. 96 prior to
its required effective date. SFAS No. 109 will change the Company's method of
accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the asset and
liability method. Under the deferred method, annual income tax expense is
matched with pretax accounting income by providing deferred taxes
at current tax rates on timing differences between the determination of net
income for financial reporting and tax purposes. The objective of the asset
and liability method is to establish deferred tax a liabilities for the
temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax
basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates
expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.
The provisions of SFAS No. 109, will be adopted by the Company as of January 1,
1993. SFAS No. 109 may be adopted by (a) cumulative catch-up adjustment
to operations in the earliest year of adoption, (b) restatement of prior year
statements with cumulative catch-up adjustments to operations in the earliest
year of restatement, or (c) restatement of prior year statements with
an adjustment of beginning retained earnings if the earliest year of restate-
ment is earlier than years presented. The Company has not decided
which method will be adopted, nor has it performed a detailed analysis of the
actual effects of SFAS No. 109.
(h) Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
and due from banks interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and federal funds
sold.
(i) Loan Origination and Commitment Fees
Nonrefundable fees and related direct costs associated with the origination of
loans are deferred. The net deferred fees and costs are recognized in
"interest and fees on loans" over the loan term using methods that
generally produce a level yield on the unpaid loan balance. Other
nonrefundable fees related to lending activities other than direct loan
origination are recognized as other operating income and/or expense over
the period the related service is provided.
(j) Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off balance
sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit,
commitments under credit card arrangements, performance standby letters of
credit, and home equity lines of credit. Such financial instruments are
recorded in the financial statements when they become payable.
CAPITAL BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(k) Per Share Applicable to Common Stock
Per share applicable to common stock is based on the weighted average

equivalents, if applicable.

Certain amounts in the prior years' financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1992 presentation.

(7) Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has adopted an employee stock ownership plan. Contributions to
the plan are determined by the Board of Directors and are not to exceed
15 percent of eligible wages. Employees become eligible for the plan
after one year of service. Benefits vest under the plan at 3

approximately $20,000, $17,200, and $15,700 for the years ended December 31,
1992, 1991, and 1990,
respectively.
(8) Stock Options
In 1987, the Company granted stock options to certain key employees and
directors for their personal guarantees on a portion of the Company's debt.
The option price was set at the fair market value of the Company's common
stock on the date of grant and became exercisable after the original
debt to which the guarantees apply was reduced by $1,000,000.
During 1992, all options related to the guarantee of the Company's debt were
exercised. Proceeds from the exercise of the options totaled $750,000 and
resulted in the issuance of 43,150 shares of the Company's common stock.
The Company realized a tax benefit from the exercise of the options
of approximately $204,000, which is reflected as paid-in capital.
(9) Other Borrowings
Other borrowings consist of loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle.
The borrowings require equal monthly payments of $3,188 plus interest, have
an average interest rate of 7.23 percent and mature in 2012.
(10) Acquisition
On March 19, 1992, the Bank acquired approximately 97 percent of the
outstanding common shares and all of the outstanding preferred stock of
United Bank, a single branch banking operation located in Murray, Utah.
The assets and liabilities of United Bank at the date of were approximately
$19,000,000 and $17,400,000, respectively. The acquisition was completed
through the issuance of 24,000 shares of the Bank's
$50 par value; noncumulative, nonvoting preferred stock and approximately
$800,000 in cash. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting.
The dividend rate on the preferred stock is reset quarterly, at prime plus
one percent. In connection with the acquisition, options to purchase 7,917
shares of the Bank's common stock at $60 per share were granted. The
options are currently exercisable and expire on March 19, 1997. Payment for
the options shall be in cash, or the exchange of preferred stock at par value.

(11) Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
The Company's financial statements do not reflect various commitments and
contingent liabilities that arise in the normal course of business and that
involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk.
These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend credit,
commitments under credit card arrangements, performance standby letters
of credit, and home equity lines of credit. A summary of the
Company's commitments and contingent liabilities at December 31, 1992 and
1991, is as follows:
1992 1991
-------- --------
Commitments to extend credit $ 11,713,000 10,541,000
Credit card arrangements 3,182,000 2,808,000
Performance standby letters of credit 2,277,000 1,884,000
Home equity lines of credit 382,000 229,000
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because these instruments have
fixed maturity dates and because many of them expire without being drawn
upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk
to the Company. The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on
a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on
management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held
varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment, and 1-4 family residential properties.
Performance standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially
the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Company
generally holds cash equivalents as collateral supporting those commitments
for which collateral is deemed necessary.
The Company is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course
of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that
the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will
result in no material liability to the Bank.
(12) Regulatory Requirements
Regulatory authorities require that banks maintain cash balances as
reserves based on a percentage of deposits.
Cash reserve requirements were $963,000 and $730,000 at December 31, 1992
and 1991, respectively.
Effective December 31, 1992, banks are required to maintain minimum levels
of capital to risk weighted assets. The Tier 1 minimum capital guideline is
four percent and the Tier 2 minimum capital guideline is eight
percent. As of December 31, 1992, the Bank's Tier 1 risk weighted capital
ratio was 12.93 percent and its Tier 2 ratio was 14.18 percent. The Bank's
leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total average quarterly assets) was
7.01 percent and 6.92 percent at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively
(unaudited).

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Capital City Bank:
We have audited the accompanying statements of condition of Capital City Bank
(a subsidiary of Capital Bancorp) as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and the
related statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1992. These
financial statements are theresponsibility of the Bank's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Capital City Bank (a
subsidiary of Capital Bancorp) as of December 31, 1992 and 1991, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1992 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

CAPITAL CITY BANK
(A Subsidiary of Capital Bancorp)
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1992, 1991, and 1990
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Description of the Business
Capital City Bank (Bank) has seven banking locations in the Salt Lake City
metropolitan area. The Bank grants commercial, residential, and installment
loans to customers located primarily in Salt Lake City metropolitan area.
The Bank emphasizes lending to small businesses that offer a wide range of
products and services.
(b) Ownership
Capital Bancorp (Parent) owns 86.39 percent of the Bank's common stock.
(c) Investment Securities
Nonequity investment securities are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization
of premiums or accretion of discounts. Because it is generally management's
intention to hold securities to maturity, they are not adjusted to lower of
cost or market. Equity securities are stated at the lower of cost or
market. Gain or loss on the sale of an investment is recognized when
realized, based upon specific identification.
(d) Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan
losses when management believes that the collectibility of the
principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management
believes will be adequate to absorb losses in the existing portfolio. The
evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review
of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the
borrower's ability to pay. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's
allowance for losses on loans and real estate owned. Such agencies may
require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their
judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes,
after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts,
that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of
interest is doubtful.
(e) Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over lives of from 5 to 35 years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the terms of related leases or the estimated useful lives
of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
CAPITAL CITY BANK
(A Subsidiary of Capital Bancorp)
Notes to Financial Statements
(f) Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or fair market value.
For real estate acquired in the settlement of loans, cost includes the
uncollected loan balance. Costs relating to the development and
improvement of property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding
the property are charged to expense.
(g) Income Taxes
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes," which
supersedes SFAS No. 96. The Bank elected not to adopt SFAS No. 96 prior to
its required effective date. SFAS No. 109 will change the Bank's method
of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the asset and
liability method. Under the deferred method, annual income tax expense is
matched with pretax accounting income by providing deferred taxes at current
tax rates on timing differences between the determination of net income for
financial reporting and tax purposes. The objective of the asset and
liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and
the tax basis of the Bank's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates
expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.
The provisions of SFAS No. 109, will be adopted by the Bank as of January 1,
1993. SFAS No. 109 may be adopted by (a) cumulative catch-up adjustment
to operations in the earliest year of adoption, (b) restatement of prior year
statements with cumulative catch-up adjustments to operations in the
earliest year of restatement, or (c) restatement of prior year statements
with an adjustment of beginning retained earnings if the earliest year
of restatement is earlier than years presented. The Bank has not decided
which method will be adopted, nor has it performed a detailed analysis of
the actual effects of SFAS No. 109.
(h) Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other banks,
and federal funds sold.
(i) Loan Origination and Commitment Fees
Nonrefundable fees and related direct costs associated with the origination
of loans are deferred. The net deferred fees and costs are recognized in
"interest and fees on loans" over the loan term using methods that
generally produce a level yield on the unpaid loan balance. Other
nonrefundable fees related to lending activities other than direct loan
origination are recognized as other operating income and/or expense over
the period the related service is provided.
(j) Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business the Bank has entered into off balance
sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend
credit, commitments under credit card arrangements, performance
standby letters of credit, and home equity lines of credit. Such
financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they
become payable.
(k) Per Share Applicable to Common Stock
Per share applicable to common stock is based on the weighted average
outstanding common shares during each year, including common stock
equivalents, if applicable.

the Bank filed separate income tax returns. However, the Bank files a
consolidated return with Capital Bancorp, its majority stockholder. The
Bank pays the current portion of its calculated tax to or receives a
refund from Capital Bancorp.
For financial reporting purposes the Bank utilized approximately $-0-,
$70,000, and $910,000 of net operating loss carryforwards and has reflected
the related tax benefit of $-0-, $25,500, and $333,400 as an extraordinary
credit in the accompanying statements of income for the years ended
December 31, 1992, 1991, and 1990, respectively. The remaining tax expense
for 1992, 1991, and 1990 results from application of regular and
alternative minimum tax rules.
The provision for income taxes consists of the following:

(6) Employee Benefit Plans
The Bank has adopted an employee stock ownership plan. Contributions to
the plan are determined by the Board of Directors and are not to exceed
15 percent of eligible wages. Employees become eligible for the plan
after one year of service. Benefits vest under the plan at 30 percent
after three years of service, with full vesting after seven years of
service. Contributions to the plan amounted to $50,000 for each of the years
ended December 31, 1992, 1991, and 1990, respectively.
The Bank also has a 401(k) plan whereby the Bank matches 50 percent of
employee contributions up to five percent of each participant's
compensation. Employer contributions to the plan amounted to approximately
$20,000, $17,200, and $15,700 for the years ended December 31, 1992,
1991, and 1990, respectively.
(7) Other Borrowings
Other borrowings consist of loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Seattle. The borrowings require equal monthly payments of $3,188 plus
interest, have an average interest rate of 7.23 percent and mature in
2012.
(8) Acquisition
On March 19, 1992, the Bank acquired approximately 97 percent of the
outstanding common shares and all of the outstanding preferred stock of
United Bank, a single branch banking operation located in Murray, Utah.
The assets and liabilities of United Bank at the date of acquisition were
approximately $19,000,000 and $17,400,000, respectively. The acquisition
was completed through the issuance of 24,000 shares of the Bank's
$50 par value; noncumulative, nonvoting preferred stock and approximately
$800,000 in cash. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting.
The dividend rate on the preferred stock is reset quarterly, at prime plus
one percent. In connection with the acquisition, options to purchase 7,917
shares of the Bank's common stock at $60 per share were granted. The
options are currently exercisable and expire on March 19, 1997. Payment
for the options shall be in cash, or the exchange of preferred stock at
par value.

(9) Contingent Liabilities and Commitments
The Bank's financial statements do not reflect various commitments and
contingent liabilities that arise in the normal course of business and that
involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk.
These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend
credit, commitments under credit card arrangements, performance standby
letters of credit, and home equity lines of credit. A summary of the
Bank's commitments and contingent liabilities at December 31, 1992 and
1991, is as follows:
1992 1991
-------- --------
Commitments to extend credit $ 11,713,000 10,541,000
Credit card arrangements 3,182,000 2,808,000
Performance standby letters of credit 2,277,000 1,884,000
Home equity lines of credit 382,000 229,000
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer provided
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of a fee. Because these instruments have
fixed maturity dates and because many of them expire without being
drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk
to the Bank. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a
case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on
management's credit evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but
may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment, and 1-4 family residential properties.
Performance standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by
the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third
party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially
the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. The Bank
generally holds cash equivalents as collateral supporting those commitments
for which collateral is deemed necessary.
The Bank is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of
business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes
that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will
result in no material liability to the Bank.
(10) Regulatory Requirements
Regulatory authorities require that banks maintain cash balances as
reserves based on a percentage of deposits. Cash reserve requirements
were $963,000 and $730,000 at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Effective December 31, 1992, banks are required to maintain minimum levels
of capital to risk weighted assets. The Tier 1 minimum capital
guideline is four percent and the Tier 2 minimum capital guideline is eight
percent. As of December 31, 1992, the Bank's Tier 1 risk weighted capital
ratio was 12.93 percent and its Tier 2 ratio was 14.18 percent. The
Bank's leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to total average quarterly assets) was
7.01 percent and 6.92 percent at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively
(unaudited).

D. VOTING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION
BANC ONE will pay the costs of preparing and printing this Prospectus and Joint
Proxy Statement and CAPITAL and CCB will bear the cost of soliciting proxies
for the CAPITAL Special Meeting and the CCB Special Meeting. Solicitation of
proxies will be made in person, by mail, or by telephone or telegraph by
present and former directors, officers and employees of CAPITAL and CCB for
which no additional compensation will be paid. CAPITAL will bear the cost of
solicitation of proxies from its stockholders. CCB will bear the cost of
solicitation of proxies from its stockholders. Copies of the form of proxy and
Notice and this Prospectus will be mailed to stockholders on or
about , 1994.
Voting
The proxy accompanying this Prospectus is solicited by the Boards of Directors
of CAPITAL and CCB and, if properly executed and returned, will be voted in
accordance with the instructions given therein. IF NO INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN,
THE PROXY WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE MERGER
AGREEMENT. Any proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted by
furnishing CAPITAL with either written notice of revocation or a subsequently
dated proxy or appearing at the Special Meeting and electing to vote in person.
The CAPITAL and CCB Boards have fixed the close of business on February 28,
1994, as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at the CAPITAL Special Meeting and the CCB Special
Meeting. As of the record date, 150,345 shares of CAPITAL Common Stock were
outstanding, each of which entitled its holder to one vote at the CAPITAL
Special Meeting. As of the record date, 132,850 shares of CCB Common Stock
were outstanding, each of which entitled its holder to one vote at the CCB
Special Meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares
of CAPITAL Common Stock entitled to vote thereon is required for approval of
the Merger Agreement. The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding
shares of CCB Common Stock entitled to vote thereon is required for approval of
the Consolidation Agreement.
The Directors of CAPITAL and CCB have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement
and Consolidation Agreement. Each director has indicated an intention to vote
all of his shares in favor of the Merger Agreement and CAPITAL intends to vote
its shares of CCB in favor of the Consolidation Agreement.
Rights of Dissenting Stockholders
The following summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the
procedures to be followed by CAPITAL and CCB shareholders desiring to exercise
dissenters' rights and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
provisions of Sections 16-10a-1301 and 16-10a-1331 of the Utah Code Annotated,
the full texts of which are attached hereto as Exhibit B. As the preservation
and the exercise of dissenters' rights require strict adherence to the
provisions of these laws, each CAPITAL and CCB shareholder who might desire to
exercise such rights should review such laws carefully, timely consult his own
legal advisor and strictly adhere to the provisions thereof.
Any shareholder of CAPITAL and CCB may, as an alternative to receiving BANC ONE
Common Stock, dissent from the Merger or Consolidation, respectively, and
obtain payment of the fair value of such shareholder's shares of CAPITAL Common
Stock and CCB Common Stock pursuant to Section 16-10a-1302 and 16-10a-1303 of
the Utah Code Annotated. "Fair value" means the value of the shares
immediately before the Effective Time, excluding any appreciation or
depreciation in anticipation of the Merger, unless such exclusion would be
inequitable. A shareholder of record may assert dissenters' rights as to fewer
than all of the shares registered in such shareholder's name only if such
shareholder dissents with respect to all of the shares beneficially owned by
any one person and discloses to CAPITAL or CCB, as the case may be, the name
and address of the person or persons on whose behalf such shareholder
dissents. In that event, such shareholder's rights shall be determined as if
the shares as to which such shareholder has dissented and such other shares
were registered in the names of different shareholders. A beneficial owner of
shares who is not the record holder may assert dissenters' rights with respect
to shares held on such owner's behalf and shall be treated as a dissenting
shareholder if a written consent of the shareholder of record of such shares is
submitted at the time of or before dissenters' rights are asserted.
Any CAPITAL or CCB shareholder who wishes to dissent must file with CAPITAL or
CCB, respectively, prior to the vote on the Merger Agreement or Consolidation
Agreement, respectively, a written notice of such shareholder's intent to
demand payment of the fair value of such shareholder's shares if the Merger or
Consolidation, respectively, is effectuated. In addition, the CAPITAL or CCB
shareholder must refrain from voting in favor of the Merger Agreement or
Consolidation Agreement, respectively. A shareholder who fails to file the
notice on time or who votes in favor of the Merger Agreement will not have any
dissenters' rights. If a shareholder returns a signed proxy but does not
specify a vote against approval of the Merger Agreement or a direction to
abstain, the proxy will be voted for approval of the Merger Agreement and
Consolidation Agreement, which will have the effect of waiving that
shareholder's dissenters' rights.
If the Merger Agreement is approved by the required vote, CAPITAL will mail a
notice to all shareholders who gave a timely notice of intent to demand payment
and who did not vote in favor of the Merger Agreement. If the Consolidation
Agreement is approved by the required vote, CCB will mail a notice to all
shareholders who gave a timely notice of intent to demand payment and who did
not vote in favor of the Consolidation Agreement. These notices will state
where and when dissenting shareholders' demands for payment should be sent and
stock certificates should be deposited, and a time at least 30 days after the
mailing of the notice by which such demand and deposit must be made. A
shareholder who fails to demand payment and deposit stock certificates as
required in the notice will lose dissenters' rights.
Except as described in the following paragraph, CAPITAL and CCB are required,
immediately after the later of the Effective Time of the Merger and
Consolidation, respectively, and their receipt of the demand and stock
certificate in accordance with their notices, to send to the dissenting
shareholder a check in the amount of their estimate of the fair value of the
dissenter's shares, plus interest from the Effective Time, and certain
financial information concerning CAPITAL or CCB, respectively. If CAPITAL or
CCB fails to make this payment, or if the dissenting shareholder believes that
the amount remitted is less than the fair value of such shareholder's shares or
that the interest is not correctly determined, such shareholder may object
within 30 days after CAPITAL or CCB mails the payment, by mailing to CAPITAL or
CCB such shareholder's own estimate of the fair value of such shares or of the
interest and a demand (a "Demand") for payment of the deficiency. If a Demand
is not so mailed, the dissenting shareholder is entitled to no more than the
amount initially sent by CAPITAL or CCB.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, CAPITAL may elect to withhold payment from any
dissenter with respect to shares of which the dissenter or the person on whose
behalf the dissenter acts was not the beneficial owner on August 11, 1993, the
date of the first announcement to news media of the terms of the Merger and
Consolidation. After the Effective Time of the Merger and Consolidation,
respectively, CAPITAL and CCB are required to furnish to such dissenters a
statement of its estimate of the fair value of the shares and the rate of
interest (and the basis for the proposed rate of interest) with an offer to pay
that amount. If the dissenter does not accept these amounts, the dissenter
must mail an estimate and demand for payment (also a "Demand") within 30 days
after the date of mailing of CAPITAL or CCB's offer. Otherwise, the dissenting
shareholder is entitled to no more than CAPITAL or CCB's offer.
Within 60 days after any Demand is submitted by a shareholder, if the Demand
remains unsettled, CAPITAL or CCB is required to file in an appropriate court
in Utah a petition requesting that the fair value of the shares and the
interest be determined by the court. All dissenting shareholders making such
demand, wherever residing, shall be parties to the proceedings. All dissenting
shareholders who are made parties to the petition are entitled to judgment for
the amount by which the fair value of their shares is found to exceed the
amount previously sent to them, with interest. If CAPITAL or CCB fails to file
a petition as required, each dissenting shareholder who has made a demand and
who has not already settled such shareholder's claim against CAPITAL or CCB
shall be paid by CAPITAL or CCB the amount previously demanded by such
shareholder with interest. The costs and expenses of any such court
proceedings will be assessed against CAPITAL or CCB except that the court may
assess any part of those costs and expenses against dissenters who are parties
to the proceedings and whose action in demanding supplemental payment the court
finds to be arbitrary, vexatious or not in good faith. Fees and expenses of
counsel and experts for the respective parties may be assessed as the court
deems equitable against CAPITAL or CCB and in favor of any or all dissenters if
CAPITAL or CCB fails to comply substantially with the statutory requirements
and may be assessed against either CAPITAL or CCB or a dissenter in favor of
any other party, if the court finds that party against whom the fees and
expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith. If
the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of
substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated and should not be
assessed against CAPITAL or CCB, it may award to the counsel reasonable fees to
be paid out of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefitted.
Shareholders considering exercising dissenters' rights should bear in mind that
the fair value of their stock determined under Sections 16-10a-1328 and
16-10a-1330 of the Utah Code Annotated could be more than, the same as, or less
than the value of the consideration they will receive pursuant to the Merger
Agreement and Consolidation Agreement if they do not exercise dissenters'
rights, and that investment banking opinions as to fairness are not necessarily
opinions as to fair value under Sections 16-10a-1328 and 16-10a-1330 of the
Utah Annotated Code.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion as to certain federal income tax consequences
resulting from the merger of Capital Bancorp ("Capital") with and into Banc One
Arizona Corporation ("Banc One Arizona") as set forth and more fully described
in the Agreement and Plan of Merger between Capital and Banc One Arizona and
joined in by Banc One CORPORATION ("Banc One"), dated September 17, 1993, as
amended (the "Agreement") including exhibits attached thereto.
We have acted as special counsel to Capital with respect to the merger of
Capital into Banc One Arizona (the "Holding Company Merger"). In this
capacity, we have examined the Agreement and the Registration Statement (Form
S-4) pursuant to which Banc One is issuing additional shares of its common
stock, without par value, to the stockholders of Capital pursuant to the merger
of Capital with and into Banc One Arizona. All capitalized terms used herein
shall, except where the context indicates otherwise, be deemed to have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Agreement.
In reaching our opinion, we have relied on certain representations made by the
management of Banc One, Banc One Arizona, and Capital Bancorp, including the
representations and warranties and undertakings in the Agreement, and have
examined such documents, records and other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate, including, without limitations, the Registration
Statement and the Agreement. We have assumed that Banc One has previously been
and will be in the future maintained and operated in conformance with the laws
of the State of Ohio and the terms of the aforementioned documents. We have
also assumed that Banc One Arizona has previously been and will be in the
future maintained and operated in conformance with the laws of the State of
Arizona and the terms of the aforementioned documents.
Banc One is a registered bank holding company organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Ohio. Banc One has authorized capital stock consisting of
635,000,000 shares consisting of 600,000,000 shares of common stock without par
value ("Banc One Common Stock") of which 341,965,620 shares were issued and
outstanding at September 17, 1993 and 35,000,000 shares of preferred stock of
which 5,000,000 were issued and outstanding as of such date. Up to 4,405,854
shares of Banc One Common Stock are subject to options. It is anticipated that
not more than approximately 353,461 shares of Banc One Common Stock will be
issued pursuant to the Holding Company Merger. In addition, it is anticipated
that not more than approximately 80,389 shares of Banc One Common Stock will be
issued in connection with the Merger of Capital City Bank with and into Bank
One, Utah, N.A. (the "Bank Merger").
Capital is a bank holding company duly organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Utah and has authorized capital stock consisting of 200,000 shares
of common stock, par value $10.00 per share ("Capital Common Stock"), of which
150,345 shares are issued and outstanding and 2,805 of which are shares of
treasury stock owned by Capital.
Banc One Arizona is an Arizona corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Arizona. Banc One owns 100% of the outstanding shares
of stock of Banc One Arizona.
Other than noted above, there are no outstanding securities or obligations
which are convertible into shares of stock or options, warrants, rights, calls
or any other commitments of any nature relating to the unissued shares of Banc
One, Capital, or Banc One Arizona.
Pursuant to the Agreement at the Effective Date of the Merger, the following
transactions will be consummated:
1. Capital shall merge with and into Banc One Arizona whereby each
share of $10.00 par value Capital Common Stock issued and
outstanding, other than shares whose holders have perfected their
rights to dissent from the Merger, shall be converted into and
exchanged for up to 353,461 shares of newly issued Banc One Common
Stock without par value. Banc One Arizona shall survive the
Merger and the former stockholders of Capital shall become
stockholders of Banc One. No fractional shares of Banc One Common
Stock shall be issued. The former Capital stockholders entitled
to fractional shares of Banc One Common Stock shall be paid cash
by Banc One for such fractional shares, the value of which shall
be computed by multiplying the fraction thereof by the "Average
Price" of Banc One Common Stock. The "Banc One Average Price" is
the average of the daily market price of Banc One Common Stock
during a ten (10) day period preceding the Effective Time of the
Merger as set forth in Section 7(a) of the Agreement.
2. The Merger is subject to various conditions including, among
others, approval by a majority of the stockholders of Capital at
the Capital Special Meeting and approval by all applicable
regulatory authorities.
This opinion is conditioned on the following assumptions and representations
being made by the management of Banc One, Banc One Arizona and Capital in
connection with the Merger transaction at or before closing:
1. The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to and in accordance with
the Agreement.
2. The fair market value of newly issued Banc One Common Stock
without par value to be received by Capital stockholders will be,
in each instance, approximately equal to the fair market value of
the Capital Common Stock to be surrendered in exchange therefor.
3. After consummation of the Merger transaction, Banc One Arizona
will continue its historical business in a substantially unchanged
manner.
4. The management of Capital knows of no plan or intention by the
stockholders of Capital who own 5% or more of the Capital Common
Stock or on the part of the remaining stockholders of Capital to
sell or otherwise dispose of a number of shares of Banc One Common
Stock to be received in the Merger transaction that would reduce
the Capital stockholders' ownership of Banc One Common Stock to a
number of shares having a value as of the date of the Merger, of
less than fifty (50) percent of the value of the formerly
outstanding Capital Common Stock as of the same date. For
purposes of this representation, shares of Capital Common Stock
exchanged for cash or other property, surrendered by dissenters or
exchanged for cash in lieu of fractional shares of Banc One Common
Stock will be treated as outstanding Capital Common Stock on the
date of the transaction. Moreover, shares of Capital Common Stock
and shares of Banc One Common Stock held by Capital stockholders
and otherwise sold, redeemed, or disposed of prior or subsequent
to the merger transaction will be considered in making this
representation.
5. Banc One Arizona will acquire at least 90% of the fair market
value of the net assets and at least 70% of the fair market value
of the gross assets held by Capital immediately prior to the
Effective Date of the Merger. For purposes of this
representation, amounts paid by Capital to dissenters, amounts
paid by Capital to stockholders who receive cash or other
property, Capital assets used to pay its reorganization expenses,
and all redemptions and other distributions (except for regular,
normal dividends) made by Capital immediately preceding the
transfer, will be included as assets of Capital held immediately
prior to the transaction.
6. Prior to the transaction, Banc One will be in control of Banc One
Arizona within the meaning of Section 268(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code.
7. Following the transaction, Banc One Arizona will not issue
additional shares of its stock that would result in Banc One
losing control of Banc One Arizona within the meaning of Section
368(c) of the Code.
8. Banc One has no plan or intention to reacquire any of its stock
issued in this transaction.
9. Banc One has no plan or intention to liquidate Banc One Arizona,
to merge Banc One Arizona with and into another corporation, to
sell or otherwise dispose of the stock of Banc One Arizona or to
cause Banc One Arizona to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the
assets of Capital acquired in the transaction, except for
dispositions made in the ordinary course of business or transfers
described in Section 368(a)(2)(c) of the Code.
10. The liabilities of Capital assumed by Banc One Arizona and the
liabilities to which the transferred assets of Capital are subject
were incurred by Capital in the ordinary course of its business.
11. Following the transaction, Banc One Arizona will continue the
historic business of Capital or use a significant portion of
Capital's historical business assets in its business.
12. Each Party to the Agreement will pay its own expenses incurred in
connection with the Merger including the cost of soliciting
proxies for the Capital Special Meeting. Printing costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and the associated Banc One Registration
Statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
of which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus forms a part will be paid
by Banc One and/or Banc One Arizona.
If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, except if one
Party breaches the agreement, Banc One and Capital each agree to
pay the expenses arising from the negotiation and preparation of,
and filings and solicitations with respect to the Agreement and
the transactions contemplated by such Agreement as follows: Each
party will pay its own expenses, except that Banc One will pay the
costs of printing the proxy material.
13. There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between Banc One
and Capital or between Banc One Arizona and Capital that was
issued, acquired, or will be settled at a discount.
14. No two parties to the transaction are investment companies as
defined in Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.
15. Capital, Banc One or Banc One Arizona is not under the
jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or similar case within the
meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A) of the Code.
16. The fair market value of the assets of Capital transferred to Banc
One Arizona will equal or exceed the sum of the liabilities
assumed by Banc One Arizona, plus the amount of liabilities, if
any, to which the transferred assets are subject.
17. No stock of Banc One Arizona will be issued in the transaction.
18. None of the compensation received by any stockholder-employee of
Capital will be separate consideration for, or allocable to, any
of their shares of Capital stock; none of the shares of Banc One
stock received by any stockholder-employee will be separate
consideration for, or allocable to, any employment agreement; and
the compensation paid to any stockholder- employee will be for
services actually rendered and will be commensurate with amounts
paid to third parties bargaining at arm's-length for similar
services.
Based solely on the information submitted and on the representations set forth
above our opinion is as follows:
1. Provided the proposed merger of Capital with and into Banc One
Arizona qualifies under Utah and Arizona law, the acquisition by
Banc One Arizona of substantially all of the assets of Capital
solely in exchange for Banc One Common Stock and the assumption by
Banc One Arizona of the liabilities, will qualify as a
reorganization under the provisions of Sections 368(a)(1)(A) and
368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this
opinion, "substantially all" means at least 90% of the fair market
value of the net assets and at least 70% of the fair market value
of the gross assets of Capital held immediately prior to the
proposed transaction. Capital, Banc One and Banc One Arizona will
each be "a party to a reorganization" within the meaning of
Section 368(b).
2. No gain or loss will be recognized by Capital upon the transfer of
substantially all of its assets to Banc One Arizona in exchange
for Banc One Common Stock and the assumption of Capital's
liabilities by Banc One Arizona (Sections 361 and 357(a)).
3. No gain or loss will be recognized by either Banc One or Banc One
Arizona upon the acquisition by Banc One Arizona of substantially
all of the assets of Capital in exchange for Banc One's Common
Stock and the assumption of Capital's liabilities (Rev. Rul.
57-278, 1957-1 C.B. 124).
4. The federal income tax basis of the assets of Capital acquired by
Banc One Arizona will be the same in the hands of Banc One Arizona
as the basis of such assets in the hands of Capital immediately
prior to the exchange (Section 362(b)).
5. The basis of the Banc One Arizona Common Stock in the hands of
Banc One will be increased by an amount equal to the basis of the
Capital assets in the hands of Banc One Arizona and decreased by
the sum of the amount of the liabilities of Capital assumed by
Banc One Arizona and the amount of liabilities to which the assets
of Capital are subject.
6. The holding period of the assets of Capital received by Capital
will, in each instance, include the period for which such assets
were held by Capital (Section 1223(2)).
7. No gain or loss will be recognized to the stockholders of Capital
upon the exchange of Capital stock solely for Banc One Common
Stock (Section 354(a)(1).
8. The basis of the Banc One Common Stock received by the
stockholders of Capital will be the same as the basis of the
Capital stock surrendered in exchange therefor (Section 358(a)(1)).
9. The holding period of the Banc One Common Stock received by the
stockholders of Capital will include the period during which
Capital stock surrendered therefor was held, provided the stock of
Capital is a capital asset in the hands of the stockholders of
Capital on the date of the exchange (Section 1223(1)).
10. As provided by Section 381(c)(2) of the Code and Section
1.381(c)(2)-1 of the Income Tax Regulations, Banc One Arizona will
succeed to and take into account the earnings and profits, or
deficit in earnings and profits, of Capital as of the date of
transfer. Any deficit in the earnings and profits of Capital or
Banc One Arizona will be used only to offset the earnings and
profits accumulated after the date of transfer.
11. Where a dissenting Capital stockholder receives cash in exchange
for his or her stock, such cash will be treated as having been
received by the stockholder as a distribution in redemption of his
or her stock subject to the provisions and limitations of Section
302 of the Code. Rev. Rul. 74-515, 1974-2 C.B. 118.
No opinion in expressed about the tax treatment of the Merger transaction under
other provisions of the Code and regulations or about the federal income tax or
state income tax treatment of any conditions existing at the time of, or other
tax consequences resulting from the Merger transaction that are not
specifically covered above.
No opinion is expressed herein with regard to the tax treatment of the merger
of Capital City Bank into Bank One, Utah, N.A.
This opinion is addressed only to you and concerns only the transaction
described above. This opinion may be relied upon only by Capital, Banc One,
Banc One Arizona and the stockholders of Capital.
We consent to the inclusion of this opinion in the Registration Statement (Form
S-4) of Banc One relating to the Merger and to the reference to our firm under
the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement which is part of
the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,

creating the entitlement unless the action is unlawful or
fraudulent with respect to him or to the corporation.
16-10a-1303. Dissent by nominees and beneficial owners.
(1) A record shareholder may assert dissenters' rights as to fewer
than all the shares registered in his name only if the shareholder
dissents with respect to all shares beneficially owned by any one
person and causes the corporation to receive written notice which
states the dissent and the name and address of each person on
whose behalf dissenters' rights are being asserted. The rights of
a partial dissenter under this subsection are determined as if the
shares as to which the shareholder dissents and the other shares
held of record by him were registered in the names of different
shareholders.
(2) A beneficial shareholder may assert dissenters' rights as to
shares held on his behalf only if:
(a) the beneficial shareholder causes the
corporation to receive the record
shareholder's written consent to the
dissent not later than the time the
beneficial shareholder asserts
dissenters' rights; and
(b) the beneficial shareholder dissents
with respect to all shares of which he
is the beneficial shareholder.
(3) The corporation may require that, when a record shareholder
dissents with respect to the shares held by any one or more
beneficial shareholders, each beneficial shareholder must certify
to the corporation that both he and the record shareholders of all
shares owned beneficially by him have asserted, or will timely
assert, dissenters' rights as to all the shares unlimited on the
ability to exercise dissenters' rights. The certification
requirement must be stated in the dissenters' notice given
pursuant to Section 16-10a-1322.
16-10a-1320. Notice of dissenters' rights.
(1) If a proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under
Section 16-10a-1302 is submitted to a vote at a shareholders'
meeting, the meeting notice must be sent to all shareholders of
the corporation as of the applicable record date, whether or not
they are entitled to vote at the meeting. The notice shall state
that shareholders are or may be entitled to assert dissenters'
rights under this part. The notice must be accompanied by a copy
of this part and the materials, if any that under this chapter are
required to be given the shareholders entitled to vote on the
proposed action at the meeting. Failure to give notice as
required by this subsection does not affect any action taken at
the shareholders' meeting for which the notice was to have been
given.
(2) If a proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under
Section 16-10a-1302 is authorized without a meeting of
shareholders pursuant to Section 16-10a-704, any written or oral
solicitation of a shareholder to execute a written consent to the
action contemplated by Section 16-10a-704 must be accompanied or
preceded by a written notice stating that shareholders are or may
be entitled to assert dissenters' rights under this part, by a
copy of this part, and by the materials, if any, that under this
chapter would have been required to be given to shareholders
entitled to vote on the proposed action if the proposed action
were submitted to a vote at a shareholders' meeting. Failure to
give written notice as provided by this subsection does not affect
any action taken pursuant to Section 16-10a-704 for which the
notice was to have been given.
16-10a-1321. Demand for payment--Eligibility and notice of intent.
(1) If a proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under
Section 16-10a-1302 is submitted to a vote at a shareholders'
meeting, a shareholder who wishes to assert dissenters' rights:

before the vote is taken, written
notice of his intent to demand payment
for shares if the proposed action is
effectuated; and
(b) may not vote any of his shares in favor
of the proposed action.
(2) If a proposed corporate action creating dissenters' rights under
Section 16-10a-1302 is authorized without a meeting of
shareholders pursuant to Section 16-10a-704, a shareholder who
wishes to assert dissenters' rights may not execute a writing
consenting to the proposed corporate action.
(3) In order to be entitled to payment for shares under this part,
unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation,
bylaws, or a resolution adopted by the board of directors, a
shareholder must have been a shareholder with respect to the
shares for which payment is demanded as of the date the proposed
corporate action creating dissenters' rights under Section
16-10a-1302 is approved by the shareholders, if shareholder
approval is required, or as of the effective date of the corporate
action if the corporate action is authorized other than by a vote
of shareholders.
(4) A shareholder who does not satisfy the requirements of Subsections
(1) through (3) is not entitled to payment for shares under this
part.

indicated in the dissenters' notice,
which dates may not be fewer than 30
nor more than 70 days after the date
the dissenters' notice required by
Subsection (1) is given;
(f) state the requirement contemplated by
Subsection 16-10a-1303(3), if the
requirement is imposed; and

16-10a-1321, and wishes to assert dissenters' rights must, in
accordance with the terms of the dissenters' notice:
(a) cause the corporation to receive a
payment demand, which may be the
payment demand form contemplated in
Subsection 16-10a-1322(2)(d), duly

beneficial ownership of the shares
before the date of the first

shareholders of the terms of the
proposed corporate action creating
dissenters' rights under Section
16-10a-1302.
(2) A shareholder who demands payment in accordance with Subsection
(1) retains all rights of a shareholder except the right to
transfer the shares until the effective date of the proposed
corporate action giving rise to the exercise of dissenters' rights
and has only the right to receive payment for the shares after the
effective date of the corporate action.
(3) A shareholder who does not demand payment and deposit share
certificates as required, by the date or dates set in the
dissenters' notice, is not entitled to payment for shares under
this part.
16-10a-1324. Uncertificated shares.
(1) Upon receipt of a demand for payment under Section 16-10a-1323
from a shareholder holding uncertificated shares, and in lieu of
the deposit of certificates representing the shares, the

(2) In all other respects, the provisions of Section 16-10a-1323 apply
to shareholders who own uncertified shares.
16-10a-1325. Payment.
(1) Except as provided in Section 16-10a-1327, upon the later of the
effective date of the corporate action creating dissenters' rights
under Section 16-10a-1302, and receipt by the corporation of each
payment demand pursuant to Section 16-10a-1323, the corporation
shall pay the amount the corporation estimates to be the fair
value of the dissenter's shares, plus interest to each dissenter
who has complied with Section 16-10a-1323, and who meets the
requirements of Section 16-10a-1321, and who has not yet received

rights under Section 16-10a-1302 does not occur within 60 days
after the date set by the corporation as the date by which the
corporation must receive payment demands as provided in Section
16-10a-1322, the corporation shall return all deposits

uncertificated shares, and all shareholders who submitted a demand
for payment pursuant to Section 16-10a-1323 shall thereafter have
all rights of a shareholder as if no demand for payment had been
made.
(2) If the effective date of the corporate action creating dissenters'
rights under Section 16-10a-1302 occurs more than 60 days after
the date set by the corporation as the date by which the
corporation must receive payment demands as provided in Section
16-10a-1322, then the corporation shall send a new dissenters'
notice, as provided in Section 16-10a-1322, and the provisions of
Sections 16-10a-1323 through 16-10a-1328 shall again be applicable.
16-10a-1327. Special provisions relating to shares acquired after announcement
of proposed corporate action.
(1) A corporation may, with the dissenters' notice given pursuant to
Section 16-10a-1322, state the date of the first announcement to
news media or to shareholders of the terms of the proposed
corporate action creating dissenters' rights under Section
16-10a-1302 and state that a shareholder who asserts dissenters'
rights must certify in writing, in or with the payment demand,
whether or not he or the person on whose behalf he asserts
dissenters' rights acquired beneficial ownership of the shares
before that date. With respect to any dissenter who does not
certify in writing, in or with the payment demand that he or the
person on whose behalf the dissenters' rights are being asserted,
acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before that date, the
corporation may, in lieu of making the payment provided in Section
16-10a-1325, offer to make payment if the dissenter agrees to
accept it in full satisfaction of his demand.

accompanied by the information required by Subsection
16-10a-1325(2).
16-10a-1328. Procedure if shareholder dissatisfied with payment or offer.
(1) A dissenter who has not accepted an offer made by a corporation
under Section 16-10a-1327 may notify the corporation in writing of
his own estimate of the fair value of his shares and demand
payment of the estimated amount, plus interest, less any payment
made under Section 16-10a-1325; if:
(a) the dissenter believes that the amount
paid under Section 16-10a-1325 or
offered under Section 16-10a-1327 is
less than the fair value of the shares;
(b) the corporation fails to make payment
under Section 16-10a-1325 within 60
days after the date set by the
corporation as the date by which it
must receive the payment demand; or
(c) the corporation, having failed to take
the proposed corporate action creating
dissenters' rights, does not return the
deposited certificates or release the
transfer restrictions imposed on
uncertificated shares as required by
Section 16-10a-1326.
(2) A dissenter waives the right to demand payment under this section
unless he causes the corporation to receive the notice required by
Subsection (1) within 30 days after the corporation made or
offered payment for his shares.
16-10a-1330. Judicial appraisal of shares -- Court action.
(1) If a demand for payment under Section 16-10a-1328 remains
unresolved, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within 60
days after receiving the payment demand contemplated by Section
16-10a-1328, and petition the court to determine the fair value of
the shares and the amount of interest. If the corporation does
not commence the proceeding within the 60-day period, it shall pay
each dissenter whose demand remains unresolved the amount demanded.
(2) The corporation shall commence the proceeding described in
Subsection (1) in the district court of the county in this state
where the corporation's principal office, or if it has no
principal office in this state, the county where its registered
office is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation
without a registered office in this state, it shall commence the
proceeding in the county in this state where the registered office
of the domestic corporation merged with, or whose shares were
acquired by, the foreign corporation was located.
(3) The corporation shall make all dissenters who have satisfied the
requirements of Sections 16-10a-1321, 16-10a-1323, and
16-10a-1328, whether or not they are residents of this state whose
demands remain unresolved, parties to the proceeding commenced
under Subsection (2) as an action against their shares. All such
dissenters who are named as parties must be served with a copy of
the petition. Service on each dissenter may be by registered or
certified mail to the address stated in his payment demand made
pursuant to Section 16-10a-1328. If no address is stated in the
payment demand, service may be made at the address stated in the
payment demand given pursuant to Section 16-10a-1323. If no
address is stated in the payment demand, service may be made at
the address shown on the corporation's current record of
shareholders for the record shareholder holding the dissenter's
shares. Service may also be made otherwise as provided by law.
(4) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced
under Subsection (2) is plenary and exclusive. The court may
appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and
recommend decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers
have the powers described in the order appoint them, or in any
amendment to it. The dissenters are entitled to the same
discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.
(5) Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding commenced under
Subsection (2) is entitled to judgment:
(a) for the amount, if any, by which the
court finds that the fair value of his
shares, plus interest, exceeds the
amount paid by the corporation pursuant
to Section 16-10a-1325; or
(b) for the fair value, plus interest, of
the dissenter's after-acquired shares
for which the corporation elected to
withhold payment under Section
16-10a-1327.
16-10a-1331. Court costs and counsel fees.
(1) The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under Section
16-10a-1330 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including
the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed
by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the
corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or
some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds equitable, to
the extent the court finds that the dissenters acted arbitrarily,
vexatiously, or not in good faith in demanding payment under
Section 16-10a-1328.
(2) The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and
experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds
equitable:
(a) against the corporation and in favor of
any or all dissenters if the court
finds the corporation did not
substantially comply with the
requirements of Section 16-10a-1320
through 16-10a-1328; or
(b) against either the corporation or one
or more dissenters, in favor of any
other party, if the court finds that
the party against whom the fees and
expenses are assessed acted
arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in
good faith with respect to the rights
provided by this part.
(3) If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter
were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly
situated, and that the fees for those services should not be
assessed against the corporation, the court may award to those
counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the
dissenters who were benefited.
PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 20. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.
Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio General Corporation Law sets forth provisions
which define the extent to which a corporation may indemnify directors,
officers, and employees. Those provisions have been adopted by the Registrant
in Article V of Registrant's Code of Rights. Article V provides for the
indemnification or the purchase of insurance for the benefit of the directors,
officers, employees and agents of the Registrant in the event such persons are
subject to legal action as a result of actions in their capacities as
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant. Registrant has
entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive
officers that provide for indemnification unless the indemnitee's conduct is
finally adjudged by a court to be knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest
or willful misconduct. Registrant indemnifies other officers, employees or
agents provided such persons acted in good faith and in a manner which they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the
Registrant or, with respect to criminal actions, had no reason to believe was
unlawful.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a)
or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that
prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered
hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this
Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be
an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer
undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the
information called for by the applicable registration form with
respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters,
in addition to the information called for by the other Items of
the applicable form.
(c) The Registrant hereby undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is
filed pursuant to paragraph (a) above, or (ii) that purports to
meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used
in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415,
will be filed as a part of an amendment to the Registration
Statement and will not be used until such amendment has become
effective, and that for the purpose of determining liabilities
under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities

shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(e) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to
requests for information that is incorporated by reference into
the Prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form,
within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send
the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally
prompt means. This includes information contained in documents
filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration
statement through the date of responding to the request.
(f) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of
a post-effective amendment all information concerning a
transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that
was not the subject of and included in the registration statement
when it became effective.
(g) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement:
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such

fide offering thereof.

amendment any of the securities being registered which remain

consummate the Holding Company Merger. Immediately following the Holding
Company Merger, BANC ONE ARIZONA will direct the transfer of assets and

including not more than 372,104 shares of BANC ONE Common in connection with

In consideration of the premises, CAPITAL, BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA hereby
make this Merger Agreement and prescribe the terms and conditions of the
Holding Company Merger and the mode of carrying the Holding Company Merger into
effect as follows:
1. Holding Company Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter

Effective Time or thereafter) shall be "BANC ONE ARIZONA CORPORATION."
3. Business. The business of BANC ONE ARIZONA as the Surviving Corporation
shall be that of a bank holding company. The Surviving Corporation shall

Arizona.
4. Effective Time of Holding Company Merger; Articles of Incorporation. The
Holding Company Merger shall become effective in accordance with the
provisions of Section 10-077 of the Arizona GCL and Section 16-10a-1101 et.
seq. of the Utah BCA, upon the later to occur of (a) completion of the
filing of Articles of Merger with the Corporation Commission of the State
of Arizona and (b) completion of the filing of articles of merger with the
Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code of the
State of Utah (the "Effective Time").
Attached to this Merger Agreement as Exhibit C is a Plan of Merger (the
"Plan of Merger") containing certain of the terms of this Merger Agreement,
which shall be set forth in substantially the form of such Exhibit C (as
the "plan of merger" with respect to the Holding Company Merger referred to
in Section 10-077 and the other applicable provisions of the Arizona GCL)
in the Articles of Merger filed by CAPITAL and BANC ONE ARIZONA with the
Secretary of State of the State of Arizona in order to make the Holding
Company Merger effective.
The Articles of Incorporation of BANC ONE ARIZONA in effect as of the
Effective Time shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation, and the By-laws of BANC ONE ARIZONA in effect as of the
Effective Time shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation.
5. Effect of Holding Company Merger. At the Effective Time, the separate
corporate existence of CAPITAL and BANC ONE ARIZONA, respectively, shall,
as provided in applicable provisions of the Utah BCA and the Arizona GCL,
be merged into and continued in BANC ONE ARIZONA as the Surviving

personal and mixed, and chooses in action, shall be transferred to and
vested in BANC ONE ARIZONA as the Surviving Corporation by virtue of the
Holding Company Merger without any deed or other transfer in the same

held or enjoyed by CAPITAL and BANC ONE ARIZONA, respectively, at the
Effective Time, as provided in applicable provisions of the Utah BCA and
Arizona GCL.
6. Liabilities upon Holding Company Merger; Service of Process. The Surviving
Corporation shall be responsible for all of the liabilities of every kind

this Merger Agreement.
The filing with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations
and Commercial Code (the "Utah Division") of an appropriate certificate of
merger, articles of merger or other appropriate document as required by the
Utah BCA shall operate as a consent by the Surviving Corporation that it
may be sued and served with process in the State of Utah in any suit,
action or proceeding for the enforcement of any obligation or liability of
CAPITAL or BANC ONE ARIZONA including any amount payable to any dissenting
shareholder; as the consent by the Surviving Corporation to service upon
and by the Utah Division as agent of the Surviving Corporation to accept
service of process in any such suit, action or proceeding for the
enforcement of any such obligation or liability; and as an appointment by
the Surviving Corporation of Rand D. Haddock, whose address is 241 North
Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85004, as agent of the Surviving
Corporation for service of process in any action, suit or proceeding to
enforce any such obligation or liability of CAPITAL or BANC ONE ARIZONA, to
whom the Utah Division may mail a copy of any such process served upon the
Utah Division.
7. Conversion of Shares.
(a) At the Effective Time:
(i) Each of the not more than 150,345 shares of CAPITAL Common that
shall be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (excluding any shares held by CAPITAL as treasury
shares) shall thereupon and without further action be converted
into shares of BANC ONE Common at the Exchange Rate which shall
be calculated as set forth in this Section 7(a)(i). CAPITAL's
shareholders of record at the Effective Time for the shares of
CAPITAL Common then held by them, respectively, shall be
allocated and entitled to receive (upon surrender of
certificates representing said shares for cancellation) shares
of BANC ONE Common, which total number of shares of BANC ONE
Common shall have a market value as of the Valuation Period (as
hereinafter defined) equal to the product of (x) the number of
shares of CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding
(not including treasury shares) immediately prior to the
Effective Time, times (y) $100.35 (hereinafter the amount
so-calculated pursuant to this Section 7(a)(i) is referred to as
the "Market Value"), subject, however, to (A) the provisions of
this Section 7(a)(i) with respect to the minimum and maximum
number of shares to be exchanged, (B) the anti-dilution
provisions of Sections 7(e) and 7(f) of this Merger Agreement,
and (C) provisions set forth in Section 7(c) herein relative to
fractional shares.
The term "Valuation Period" shall mean the ten consecutive days
on which shares of BANC ONE Common are traded on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") ending on the sixth NYSE trading day
immediately prior to the proposed Effective Time, as designated
by BANC ONE pursuant to Section 10(c) of this Merger Agreement.
For purposes of establishing the "Exchange Rate," (the number of
shares of BANC ONE Common into which each share of CAPITAL
Common shall be converted at the Effective Time), each share of
BANC ONE Common shall be valued at the average of the daily
closing trade prices of BANC ONE Common on the NYSE during the
Valuation Period as reported in The Wall Street Journal for NYSE
Composite Transactions (the "BANC ONE Average Price"); provided,
however, that for purposes of Section 7 of this Merger Agreement
and the calculations herein required, said BANC ONE Average
Price will be deemed not to be greater than $49.00 nor less than
$40.54 per share. Such BANC ONE Average Price shall then be
divided into the Market Value (as calculated pursuant to this
Section 7(a)(i), above) to establish (to the nearest whole
share) the aggregate number of shares of BANC ONE Common into
which all of the then issued and outstanding shares of CAPITAL
Common shall be converted at the Effective Time. Such number of
shares of BANC ONE Common shall then be divided by the number of
shares of CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time with the quotient
therefrom, carried to three decimal places, being the number of
shares of BANC ONE Common into which each share of CAPITAL
Common shall be converted at the Effective Time. In the event
the BANC ONE Average Price is below $40.54, the total number of
shares of BANC ONE Common into which the shares of CAPITAL
Common shall be converted will be the number of BANC ONE Common
shares calculated by multiplying (x) 2.475 times (y) the number
of shares of CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (not including treasury
shares). In the event the BANC ONE Average Price is above the
$49.00, the total number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which
the shares of CAPITAL Common shall be converted will be the
number of BANC ONE Common shares calculated by multiplying (x)
2.048 times (y) the number of shares of CAPITAL Common that
shall be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (not including treasury shares).
The maximum and minimum total number of shares of BANC ONE
Common for which the shares of CAPITAL Common shall be exchanged
shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the
anti-dilution provisions of Section 7(e) of this Merger
Agreement. The Exchange Rate shall be subject to adjustment in
accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of Section 7(f) of
this Merger Agreement.
(ii) The 500 shares of BANC ONE ARIZONA Common issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be
issued and outstanding shares of common stock without par value
of the Surviving Corporation.
(iii) All of the shares of CAPITAL Common held by CAPITAL as treasury
shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
cancelled and shall not represent capital stock of the Surviving
Corporation and shall not be exchanged for shares of BANC ONE
Common.
(b) At the Effective Time, stock issued by reason of the Holding Company
Merger shall be allocated to the shareholders of record of CAPITAL as
of the Effective Time with such shares of BANC ONE Common to be equal
to the number of shares of CAPITAL Common outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Rate as
calculated pursuant to Section 7(a). Such allocation of BANC ONE
Common for each share of CAPITAL Common held of record at the
Effective Time made on the basis of the Exchange Rate is subject to
limitations relative to fractional shares as set forth in Section 7(c)
herein and to adjustments pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of
Sections 7(e) and 7(f).
(c) No certificate for fractional shares of BANC ONE Common will be issued
by BANC ONE in connection with the exchange contemplated by the
Holding Company Merger, but in lieu thereof, any holder of CAPITAL
Common shall, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates
representing such CAPITAL Common, be paid cash, without interest, by
BANC ONE for such fractional shares on the basis of the BANC ONE
Average Price.
(d) At the Effective Time, holders of certificates formerly representing
shares of CAPITAL will tender such certificates to BANC ONE and
subject to the provisions set forth above relating to fractional
shares, BANC ONE, or Bank One, Indianapolis, N.A., as Exchange Agent
for BANC ONE, will distribute to the holders of certificates formerly
representing shares of CAPITAL Common in exchange for and upon
surrender for cancellation by such holders of a certificate or
certificates formerly representing shares of CAPITAL Common the
certificate(s) for shares of BANC ONE Common in accordance with the
Exchange Rate. Each certificate formerly representing CAPITAL Common
(other than certificates representing shares of CAPITAL Common subject
to the rights of dissenting shareholders) shall be deemed for all
purposes to evidence the ownership of the number of shares of BANC ONE
Common and cash for fractional shares into which such shares have been
converted, except, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing, that,
until such surrender of the certificate or certificates formerly
representing shares of CAPITAL Common, the holder thereof shall not be
entitled to receive any dividend or other payment or distribution
payable to holders of BANC ONE Common. Upon such surrender (or in
lieu of surrender other provisions reasonably satisfactory to BANC ONE
as are made as set forth in the next following paragraph), there shall
be paid to the person entitled thereto the aggregate amount of
dividends or other payments or distributions (in each case without
interest) which became payable after the Effective Time on the whole
shares of BANC ONE Common represented by the certificates issued upon
such surrender and exchange or in accordance with such other
provisions, as the case may be. After the Effective Time, the holders
of certificates formerly representing shares of CAPITAL Common shall
cease to have rights with respect to such shares (except such rights,
if any, as they may have as dissenting shareholders), and except as
aforesaid, their sole rights shall be to exchange said certificates
for shares of BANC ONE Common and cash for fractional shares in
accordance with this Merger Agreement.
Certificates representing shares of CAPITAL Common surrendered for
cancellation by each shareholder entitled to exchange shares of
CAPITAL Common for shares of BANC ONE Common by reason of the Holding
Company Merger shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such
appropriate instruments of transfer as BANC ONE may reasonably
require; provided, however, that if there be delivered to BANC ONE by
any person who is unable to produce any such certificate formerly
representing shares of CAPITAL Common for transfer (i) evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of BANC ONE that any such certificate has been
lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed, (ii) such security or indemnity
as reasonably may be requested by BANC ONE to save it harmless, and
(iii) evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of BANC ONE that such
person is the owner of the shares theretofore represented by each
certificate claimed by him or her to be lost, wrongfully taken or
destroyed and that he or she is the person who would be entitled to
present each such certificate and to receive shares of BANC ONE Common
pursuant to this Merger Agreement, then BANC ONE, in the absence of
actual notice to it that any shares theretofore represented by any
such certificate have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall
deliver to such person the certificate(s) representing shares of BANC
ONE Common which such person would have been entitled to receive upon
surrender of each such lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed certificate
of CAPITAL Common.
(e) Except for BANC ONE's Stock Split, which has been taken into account
in this Merger Agreement, if prior to the Effective Time BANC ONE or
CAPITAL shall declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or
subdivide, split up, reclassify or combine its shares of common stock
or declare a dividend or make a distribution on its common stock in
any security convertible into its common stock, appropriate ratable
adjustment or adjustments will be made in the Exchange Rate.
(f) Except for BANC ONE's Stock Split, which has been taken into account
in this Merger Agreement, if prior to the Effective Time BANC ONE or
CAPITAL shall declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or
subdivide, split up, reclassify or combine its shares of common stock
in any security convertible into its common stock, and the
"Ex-Dividend Date" (as herein defined) established for the shares
being so divided or otherwise diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date" is
established by the NYSE) or the "Record Date" (as herein defined)
established for the shares being so divided or otherwise diluted (if
an "Ex-Dividend Date" is not established by the NYSE), whichever is
applicable, is subsequent to the Valuation Period (as defined in
Section 7(a) of this Merger Agreement), appropriate ratable adjustment
or adjustments will be made in the Exchange Rate. The "Ex-Dividend
Date" is that date established by the NYSE for such distribution. The
"Record Date" is that date established by resolution of the Board of
Directors of the distributing party as the time as of which record
ownership of the distributing securities will entitle the record
owner(s) to such distribution.
8. Board of Directors; Employees; and Name Changes. The directors of BANC ONE
ARIZONA immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to serve as
the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the
Effective Time and until the next annual meeting of shareholders at which
their respective successors are elected and qualified. The officers and
employees of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective
Time shall be the officers and employees of BANC ONE ARIZONA immediately
before the Effective Time with each such person to hold the same office in
the Surviving Corporation as held by such person in BANC ONE ARIZONA. The
directors, officers and employees of the Bank resulting from the Bank
Merger shall be as set forth in the Bank Merger Agreement.
CAPITAL will cooperate with BANC ONE in the procurement of requisite
corporate and regulatory approvals and, if requested by BANC ONE, will use
its reasonable best efforts to take such other steps as are appropriate and
necessary to effect a change in the name of CCB to include the words "BANK
ONE" so that such name change will become effective at the Effective Time.
9. Employee Benefits. At or following the Effective Time, all employee
benefit programs of CAPITAL and CCB will be terminated, grandfathered or
merged into BANC ONE benefit plans and programs and BANC ONE benefit plans
and programs will be made available and applicable to the employees of
CAPITAL and CCB following the Effective Time as described in and governed
by the Benefits Letter Agreement dated September 15, 1993 between CAPITAL
and BANC ONE (the "Benefits Agreement").
10. Undertakings of the Parties. CAPITAL, BANC ONE ARIZONA and BANC ONE
further agree as follows:
(a) This Merger Agreement and the Plan of Merger shall be submitted to the
shareholders of CAPITAL for approval at a meeting to be called and
held in accordance with applicable law and the Certificate of
Incorporation and By-laws of CAPITAL. Such shareholders' meeting will
be scheduled to be held approximately 30 days following the mailing by
CAPITAL of its proxy statement to its shareholders promptly following
the effective date of the registration statement to be filed by BANC
ONE with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as
provided in Section 10(d). CAPITAL and BANC ONE will cooperate with
each other in order to facilitate the preparation, filing and
clearance of the registration statement and the proxy statement under
Federal and State securities laws to be used with respect to such
shareholders' meeting and the exchange of shares as contemplated by
this Merger Agreement.
(b) BANC ONE will promptly prepare and file an application (believed in
good faith by BANC ONE to be substantially complete in form and
substance) to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
(the "Board") under appropriate provisions of Section 3 of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and an application to the
Commissioner of the Utah Department of Financial Institutions (the
"Utah Commissioner") under appropriate provisions of the Utah Bank
Holding Company Act for prior approval of the proposed acquisition of
CAPITAL and the Subsidiaries by BANC ONE and/or BANC ONE ARIZONA.
BANC ONE will cause BANK ONE UTAH to file an application with the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") for prior
approval of the Bank Merger. CAPITAL will furnish BANC ONE such
information and documents and will cooperate as may be reasonably
requested by BANC ONE in connection therewith. BANC ONE will use its
reasonable best efforts to cause such applications to be approved by
the Board, the OCC and the Utah Commissioner, respectively, and to
obtain such other regulatory consents and approvals as may be
necessary to facilitate the Holding Company Merger and the Bank Merger
and will provide CAPITAL and its counsel with an opportunity to review
drafts of all such applications and to comment on the portions of such
applications that contain information about CAPITAL. BANC ONE will
provide CAPITAL and its counsel with copies of the public portions of
all such applications as filed, together with correspondence to or
from the Board, the OCC and Utah Commissioner related thereto.
(c) After receipt of the Board's prior approval of BANC ONE's and BANC ONE
ARIZONA's acquisition of CAPITAL, after approval of the acquisition by
the Utah Commissioner, after approval of the Bank Merger by the OCC
and after the approval of the shareholders of CAPITAL, as provided in
Section 10(a), BANC ONE shall designate the date as of which BANC ONE
desires the Holding Company Merger to become effective and the
Effective Time shall occur at the time and on the date so designated,
subject to Section 25 of this Merger Agreement. In no event will the
date designated by BANC ONE as the Effective Time be sooner than the
day following the day on which all approvals of the Board, the OCC and
the Utah Commissioner have been received and any required waiting
periods with respect thereto have expired, nor will the date
designated by BANC ONE as the Effective Time be later than 31 days
following the date at which all approvals of the Board, the OCC and
the Utah Commissioner have been received and any required waiting
periods with respect thereto have expired.
(d) BANC ONE will prepare and file with the SEC and use its reasonable
best efforts to cause to become effective, a registration statement,

Section 10(a), above ("Proxy Statement"), and any required amendments
thereto or supplements to any prospectus contained therein, relating
to the exchange of BANC ONE Common contemplated by this Merger
Agreement and/or the Bank Merger Agreement. Such registration
statement will not cover resales by any persons who may be considered
"underwriters" under Rule 145(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"). BANC ONE shall use its reasonable best
efforts to have the shares of BANC ONE Common qualified or exempted
from qualification under all applicable state securities laws prior to
the mailing of the Proxy Statement. In the event that a stop order
has been issued, or threatened, by the SEC, that suspends or would
suspend the effectiveness of the registration statement, BANC ONE
shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly remove, or cause not
to be issued, any such stop order.
(e) BANC ONE and/or BANC ONE ARIZONA will assume and pay all expenses
incident to the obtaining of the requisite regulatory consents and
approvals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the

designated not later than the time of delivery or the date of this

respective rules and regulations of said Commission thereunder at the
time such filings are made at any time prior to the Effective Time.
(h) BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA will furnish to CAPITAL all information
concerning BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA reasonably required by

material respect.
(i) No press release or other public disclosure of matters related to this
Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby shall
be made by CAPITAL or BANC ONE unless the other party shall have
provided its prior consent to the form and substance thereof;
provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to prohibit any
party hereto from making any disclosure which its counsel deems
necessary or advisable in order to fulfill such party's disclosure
obligations imposed by law.
(j) Prior to the Effective Time, BANC ONE will vote all the shares of BANC
ONE ARIZONA to approve and adopt the proposal to merge BANC ONE
ARIZONA and CAPITAL at a meeting of the shareholders of BANC ONE
ARIZONA held for such purpose or by means of a unanimous written
consent of BANC ONE ARIZONA shareholders adopted in lieu of a meeting
to approve the Holding Company Merger and approve this Merger
Agreement.
(k) For not less than the two-year period immediately following the
Effective Time, BANC ONE shall make available adequate current public
information about itself as that terminology is used in and as
required by Rule 144(c) of the SEC under the 1933 Act. Additionally,
BANC ONE will publish financial results of at least 30 days of
post-merger combined operations reflecting the Merger, in accordance

(l) Each of BANC ONE, BANC ONE ARIZONA and CAPITAL will use its reasonable
best efforts to cause the Holding Company Merger to qualify for
pooling-of-interests accounting treatment.

in the joint opinion of counsel for BANC ONE and CAPITAL is at the
Effective Time or was, at the time of CAPITAL's shareholders' meeting
referred to in Section 10(a) hereof, an "affiliate" of CAPITAL and/or
CCB (as that term is used in Rules 144 and 145 promulgated by the SEC
under the 1933 Act), to execute and deliver to BANC ONE the written
undertakings in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.
(n) BANC ONE will initiate a pre-acquisition investigation and review of
the books, records and facilities of CAPITAL and CCB and will complete
such pre-acquisition investigation not later than 60 days following
the date of this Merger Agreement. BANC ONE shall advise CAPITAL at
the conclusion of such pre-acquisition investigation of all matters
then known to BANC ONE which BANC ONE shall in good faith determine to
be either (i) inconsistent in any material and adverse respect with
any of the representations and warranties of CAPITAL or CCB contained
in this Merger Agreement or in the Bank Merger Agreement or (ii), in
the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of BANC ONE, to be
either (x) of such significance as to materially and adversely affect
the financial condition or the results of operations of CAPITAL and
CCB on a consolidated basis or (y) to deviate materially and adversely
from CAPITAL's audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1992. BANC ONE shall have the right to terminate this
Merger Agreement as set forth in Section 25(c).
(o) CAPITAL will initiate a pre-acquisition investigation and review of
the books, records and facilities of BANC ONE and its subsidiaries and
will complete such pre-acquisition investigation not later than 10
business days following the date of this Merger Agreement. CAPITAL
shall advise BANC ONE at the conclusion of such pre-acquisition

in good faith determine to be either (i) inconsistent in any material
and adverse respect with any of the representations and warranties of
BANC ONE contained in this Merger Agreement or (ii) in the reasonable
judgment of the Board of Directors of CAPITAL, to be either (x) of
such significance as to materially and adversely affect the financial
condition or the results of operations of BANC ONE and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or (y) to deviate materially and
adversely from BANC ONE's audited financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1992. CAPITAL shall have the right to terminate
this Merger Agreement as set forth in Section 25(d).
(p) In addition to BANC ONE's pre-acquisition investigation of CAPITAL and
CCB and CAPITAL's pre-acquisition investigation of BANC ONE and its
subsidiaries, BANC ONE and CAPITAL shall each provide the other with
adequate opportunity to conduct such further reviews and examinations
of the business, properties and conditions (financial and otherwise)
of the other as BANC ONE and CAPITAL, respectively, shall deem
prudent, provided that such investigations shall not interfere
unreasonably with the normal operations of the party being reviewed.
(q) BANC ONE will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of
BANC ONE Common to be issued to the shareholders of CAPITAL and/or CCB
pursuant to this Merger Agreement or the Bank Merger Agreement to be
listed on the NYSE as of the Effective Time.
(r) BANC ONE ARIZONA will cause appropriate officers of BANK ONE UTAH to
execute the Bank Merger Agreement or a document similar to the Bank
Merger Agreement when and as requested by BANC ONE. BANC ONE ARIZONA
will vote all the shares of BANK ONE UTAH to ratify and confirm the
Bank Merger at a meeting of the shareholders of BANK ONE UTAH held to
ratify and confirm the Bank Merger or by means of a unanimous written
consent of BANK ONE UTAH shareholders adopted in lieu of a meeting to
approve the Bank Merger and approve the Bank Merger Agreement.
(s) CAPITAL will cause appropriate officers of the Bank to execute the
Bank Merger Agreement or a document similar to the Bank Merger
Agreement when and as requested by BANC ONE. CAPITAL will vote all
its shares of the Bank to ratify and confirm the Bank Merger at a
meeting of the shareholders of the Bank to ratify and confirm the Bank
Merger Agreement.
(t) Notwithstanding anything in this Merger Agreement to the contrary,
BANC ONE may, at its sole discretion, elect not to consummate the Bank
Merger or may elect to modify the terms of the Bank Merger Agreement
in any respect. In the event BANC ONE for any reason does not
consummate the Bank Merger or modifies the terms of the Bank Merger
Agreement, the parties hereto shall nonetheless consummate the Holding
Company Merger upon satisfaction or waiver of all conditions thereto
in this Merger Agreement. In the event that BANC ONE modifies the
terms of the Bank Merger Agreement, BANC ONE shall indemnify and hold
harmless the directors of the Bank against all claims and causes of
action attributable to and arising out of such modifications to the
Bank Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BANC ONE and
BANC ONE ARIZONA presently anticipate effecting the Bank Merger and
are not aware of any conditions suggesting that the Bank Merger might
not be consummated.
(u) As soon as reasonably practicable, CAPITAL shall take appropriate
action to cause all the issued and outstanding CCB Options to be
exercised and converted into and exchanged for not more than 7,917
shares of CCB Common so that at the time the Proxy Statement is mailed
to CCB's shareholders, CCB's capital stock shall consist of 200,000
authorized shares of CCB Common, 140,767 of which shall be issued and
outstanding, including 114,768 of which issued and outstanding shares
shall be owned by CAPITAL. CAPITAL shall also, prior to the Effective
Time, cause CCB to redeem all 24,000 issued and outstanding shares of
CCB Preferred, at the redemption price of $50.00 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date of redemption.
11. Dissenting Shareholders. Shareholders of CAPITAL Common who do not vote
their shares in favor of the Holding Company Merger and otherwise perfect
applicable dissenters' rights will be entitled to dissenters or appraisal
rights, if any, pursuant to applicable provisions of the Utah BCA.
12. Tax Opinion. BANC ONE and CAPITAL shall use their respective best efforts
to obtain from Gerrish & McCreary, P.C., Memphis, Tennessee, a written
opinion addressed to CAPITAL, its shareholders and BANC ONE, that, based
upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the
regulations thereunder, and rulings issued by the Internal Revenue Service
in transactions similar to those contemplated by this Merger Agreement, for
Federal income tax purposes:
(a) The statutory merger of CAPITAL with and into BANC ONE ARIZONA will
constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A)
and Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code;
(b) No gain or loss will be recognized by BANC ONE or CAPITAL as a
consequence of the transactions herein contemplated;
(c) No gain or loss will be recognized to the shareholders of CAPITAL on
the exchange of their shares of CAPITAL Common for shares of BANC ONE
Common (disregarding for this purpose any cash received pursuant to
the exercise of statutory dissenters' rights or for fractional share
interests to which they may be entitled);
(d) The Federal income tax basis of the BANC ONE Common (including
fractional share interests to which they may be entitled) received by
the shareholders of CAPITAL Common for their shares of CAPITAL Common
will be the same as the Federal income tax basis of the CAPITAL Common
surrendered in exchange therefor; and
(e) The holding period of the BANC ONE Common received by a shareholder of
CAPITAL will include the period for which the CAPITAL Common exchanged
therefor was held, provided the exchanged CAPITAL Common was held as a
capital asset by such shareholder on the date of the exchange.
The Bank Merger is not expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction and
the tax opinion of Gerrish & McCreary, P.C. will not address the Bank
Merger.
13. Representations and Warranties of BANC ONE. BANC ONE represents and
warrants to CAPITAL that, except as set forth in BANC ONE's disclosure
letter to CAPITAL dated September 15, 1993 and delivered to CAPITAL not
later than the time of the execution of this Merger Agreement (the "BANC
ONE Disclosure Letter"), and except as otherwise indicated below:
(a) BANC ONE is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the State of Ohio, is a registered bank
holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, and is qualified to do business and is in good standing in
the State of Ohio, together with all other jurisdictions where it is
both required to so qualify and where the failure to so qualify would
have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial
condition or results of operations of such party and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, or on the ability of such party to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby, and BANC ONE has full power and
authority (including all licenses, franchises, permits and other
governmental authorizations which are legally required) to engage in
the businesses and activities now conducted by it and its
subsidiaries. BANC ONE is not subject to any formal or informal
agreement or understanding with, nor is it subject to any order of,
any bank regulatory authority restricting or prohibiting or attempting
to restrict or prohibit any activities or conduct of BANC ONE. As of
June 30, 1993, after giving effect to the Stock Split, the authorized
capital stock of BANC ONE consisted of (i) 600,000,000 shares of BANC
ONE Common Stock without par value, of which a total of 341,065,620
shares were issued and outstanding and none of which were shares held
by BANC ONE as treasury stock and (ii) 35,000,000 shares of preferred
stock without par value, of which 5,000,000 shares were issued and
outstanding as Series C $3.50 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.
All of the issued and outstanding shares of BANC ONE's capital stock
are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and
subject to no pre-emptive rights. Subject only to obtaining the
required regulatory approvals, BANC ONE is, and at all times after the
date of this Merger Agreement to and including the Effective Time will
be, authorized to effect the Holding Company Merger under applicable
law.
(b) BANC ONE has furnished to CAPITAL copies of the following financial
statements relating to BANC ONE and its consolidated subsidiaries:
(i) the audited Consolidated Balance Sheets of BANC ONE as of December
31, 1992 and 1991 and the Consolidated Statements of Income,
Shareholders' Equity and Cash Flows for the years then ended, together
with the notes thereto, as audited by Coopers & Lybrand, independent
auditors together with the notes thereto; and (ii) the unaudited
Consolidated Balance Sheet of BANC ONE as at June 30, 1993 and the
unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and Shareholders' Equity
for the period then ended, together with the notes thereto, which
unaudited financial statements give effect to the Stock Split. Each
of the aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (applied on a
consistent basis except as disclosed in the footnotes thereto), the
consolidated financial position and results of operations of BANC ONE
as of the dates and for the periods therein set forth. Such financial
statements do not, as of the dates thereof, include any material asset
or omit any material liability, absolute or contingent, or other fact,
the inclusion or omission of which renders such financial statements,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, misleading
in any material respect. Since June 30, 1993, there has not been any
change in the financial condition, results of operations or business
of BANC ONE and its subsidiaries that has had a material adverse
effect on the financial condition or results of operations of such
party and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on the ability of
such party to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby (a
"Material Adverse Effect"). Since June 30, 1993, BANC ONE has not
issued additional shares of BANC ONE Common, not including the
approximately 68,213,124 shares issued or to be issued by reason of
the Stock Split and which shares are reflected in the number of shares
of BANC ONE Common as of June 30, 1993, as set forth above.
(c) The Boards of Directors of BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA have duly
authorized the execution and delivery of this Merger Agreement and
approved the Holding Company Merger as contemplated by said Merger
Agreement. No authorization of this Merger Agreement or of the
transactions hereby contemplated is required by the shareholders of
BANC ONE. BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA have all requisite power and
authority to enter into this Merger Agreement and, after its vote of
the shares of BANC ONE ARIZONA in favor of the Holding Company Merger
as contemplated by Section 10(j), BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA will
have the authority to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Merger Agreement constitutes the valid and legally
binding and enforceable obligation of each of BANC ONE and BANC ONE
ARIZONA and this Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Holding
Company Merger have been duly authorized and approved on behalf of
BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA by all requisite corporate action.
Provided the required approvals are obtained from the Board, the OCC
and the Utah Commissioner, neither the execution and delivery of this
Merger Agreement nor the consummation of the Holding Company Merger
will conflict with, result in the breach of, constitute a default
under or accelerate the performance provided by the terms of any law,
or any rule or regulation of any governmental agency or authority or
any judgment, order or decree of any court, bank regulatory agency or
other governmental agency to which BANC ONE or BANC ONE ARIZONA is
subject, any contract, agreement or instrument to which BANC ONE or
BANC ONE ARIZONA is a party or by which BANC ONE or BANC ONE ARIZONA
is bound or committed, or the Articles of Incorporation or Regulations
of BANC ONE or the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of BANC ONE
ARIZONA, or constitute an event which with the lapse of time or action
by a third party, could, to the best of BANC ONE's knowledge, result
in the default under any of the foregoing or result in the creation of
any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets or properties
of BANC ONE or BANC ONE ARIZONA or upon any of the stock of BANC ONE
or BANC ONE ARIZONA or adversely affect the ability of BANC ONE to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except, in the case
of contracts, agreements or instruments, such defaults, conflicts or
breaches which either (i) will be cured or waived prior to the
Effective Time or (ii) if not so cured or waived would not, in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) The reserve for possible loan and lease losses shown on the June 30,
1993 Consolidated Balance Sheet of BANC ONE and its subsidiaries is
adequate in all material respects under the requirements of generally
accepted accounting principles to provide for possible losses, net of
recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, on loans
outstanding (including, without limitation, accrued interest
receivable) as of June 30, 1993.
(e) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section
13(b), there is no litigation, action, suit, investigation or
proceeding pending or, to the best of the knowledge after due inquiry
of BANC ONE and its executive officers, overtly threatened, against or
affecting BANC ONE or any of its subsidiaries or involving any of
their respective properties or assets, at law or in equity, before any
federal, state, municipal, local or other governmental authority,
which is reasonably likely to be resolved adversely to the interest of
BANC ONE or its subsidiaries and, if so resolved, would have a
Material Adverse Effect or materially impair its ability, or that of
BANC ONE ARIZONA, to perform under this Merger Agreement, and to the
best of the knowledge and belief after due inquiry of BANC ONE and its
executive officers, no one has reasonable or valid grounds on which it
reasonably can be expected that anyone will assert or initiate any
such litigation, action, suit, investigation or proceeding against
BANC ONE or any of its subsidiaries based upon the wrongful action or
inaction of BANC ONE or any of its subsidiaries or any of their
respective officers, directors or employees.
(f) At the Effective Time and on such subsequent dates when the former
shareholders of CAPITAL and CCB surrender their CAPITAL share
certificates or CCB share certificates for cancellation, the shares of
BANC ONE Common to be exchanged with former shareholders of CAPITAL
and CCB will have been duly authorized and validly issued by BANC ONE
and will be fully paid and nonassessable and subject to no pre-emptive
rights.
(g) BANC ONE and each of its subsidiaries have good and marketable title
to all their respective assets and properties, whether real or
personal, tangible or intangible, including without limitation the
capital stock of its subsidiaries and all other assets and properties
reflected in BANC ONE's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1993
or acquired subsequent thereto (except to the extent that such assets
and properties have been disposed of for fair value in the ordinary
course of business since June 30, 1993). Such assets and properties
are subject to no liens, mortgages, security interests, encumbrances,
pledges or charges of any kind, except (i) as noted in said
Consolidated Balance Sheet or the notes thereto; (ii) statutory liens
for taxes not yet delinquent; (iii) landlord's liens; and (iv) minor
defects and irregularities in title and encumbrances which do not
materially impair the use thereof for the purposes for which they are
held; and such liens, mortgages, security interests, encumbrances and
charges do not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
BANC ONE and its subsidiaries as lessees have the unqualified right
under valid and subsisting leases to occupy, use, possess and control
all property leased by BANC ONE and its subsidiaries.
(h) To the best of the knowledge after due inquiry of BANC ONE and its
executive officers, BANC ONE and its subsidiaries have complied with
all laws, regulations and orders applicable to them and to the conduct
of their businesses, including without limitation, all statutes, rules
and regulations pertaining to the conduct of banking activities except
for violations which together with any penalty which results therefrom
has not had and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither BANC
ONE nor any of its subsidiaries is in default under, and no event has
occurred which, to the best of BANC ONE's knowledge, after due
inquiry, is likely to result in the default under the terms of any
judgment, decree, order, writ, rule or regulation of any governmental
authority or court, whether federal, state or local and whether at law
or in equity, in each case where the default has had or is likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(i) BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA have not incurred and will not incur
directly or indirectly any liability for brokerage, finders', agents'
or investment bankers' fees or commissions in connection with this
Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) Each pension, stock bonus or purchase, profit-sharing, retirement,
health and welfare plan maintained by or covering employees of BANC
ONE or any subsidiary of BANC ONE other than a multiemployer plan (for
purposes of this paragraph hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Plans") which purports to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of
the Code is so qualified. All of the Plans which constitute employee
pension benefit or employee welfare benefit plans subject to the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"),
have been maintained in compliance in all material respects with the
applicable requirements of ERISA. All material notices, reports and
other filings required under applicable law to be given or made to or
with any governmental agency with respect to the Plans have been
timely filed or delivered. BANC ONE has no knowledge of any
circumstances which would adversely affect the qualification of the
Plans or their compliance with the applicable requirements of ERISA,
would result or have resulted in liability under Title IV of ERISA or
of any "reportable event" (as such term is defined in Section 4043(b)
of ERISA) or any "prohibited transaction" (as such term is defined in
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975(c) of the Code) which has
occurred since the date on which said sections became applicable to
the Plans and which could reasonably be expected to result in any
material liability of BANC ONE or any subsidiary to the Pension
Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC"), the Department of Treasury,
the Department of Labor or any multiemployer plan. Those Plans which
are defined benefit plans within the meaning of ERISA meet the minimum
funding standards set forth in the Code and ERISA and the assets of
such Plans equal or exceed the present value of accrued benefits on a
termination basis under such Plans as of the most recent plan
valuation date. There are no pending or threatened claims (other than
claims for benefits in the ordinary course), lawsuits or arbitrations
which have been asserted or instituted against the Plans, any
fiduciaries thereof with respect to their duties to the Plans or the
assets of any of the trusts under any of the Plans which could
reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of BANC ONE
or any subsidiary to the PBGC, Department of Treasury, Department of
Labor or any multiemployer plan.
(k) BANC ONE and/or its subsidiaries have duly filed all federal, state,
county and local income, franchise, bank, excise, real and personal
property and other tax returns and reports (including, but not limited
to, those relating to social security, withholding, unemployment
insurance, and occupation, sales and use taxes and those filed on a
consolidated, combined or unitary basis) required to have been filed
by BANC ONE or its subsidiaries up to the date hereof. All of the
foregoing returns are true and correct in all material respects, and
BANC ONE and its subsidiaries have paid or, prior to the Effective
Time, will pay all taxes, interest, additions to tax, and penalties
shown on such returns or reports as being due or (except to the extent
the same are contested in good faith and, if material, summarized in
the BANC ONE Disclosure Letter) claimed to be due to any federal,
state, county, local or other taxing authority, and there is, and at
the Effective Time will be, no basis for any additional claim or
assessment which might materially and adversely affect BANC ONE and
its subsidiaries, except for those being contested in good faith and
summarized in the BANC ONE Disclosure Letter. BANC ONE and its
subsidiaries have paid or made adequate provision in their financial
statements or on their books and records for all taxes payable in
respect of all periods ending on or before the date hereof. BANC ONE
and its subsidiaries have, or at the Effective Time will have, no
liability for any taxes, interest, additions to tax, or penalties of
any nature whatsoever, except for those taxes which may have arisen up
to the Effective Time in the ordinary course of business and are
properly accrued on the books of BANC ONE and its subsidiaries as of
the Effective Time or are being contested in good faith and have, if
material, been summarized in the BANC ONE Disclosure Letter.
(l) BANC ONE and its subsidiaries have in effect insurance coverage with

subsidiaries comparable in size and operations to BANC ONE and its
subsidiaries.
(m) Neither the Proxy Statement nor the related registration statement nor
any amendment or supplement thereto that is filed with the SEC in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (except for any
information which has been or shall be supplied by CAPITAL for
inclusion in the Proxy Statement and registration statement and is so
included as so supplied) shall contain (in the case of information
relating to the Proxy Statement, at the time it is mailed and in the
case of information relating to the registration statement at the time
it becomes effective and at the time of CAPITAL's and CCB's respective

shall omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are
made, not misleading. The registration statement and any amendments

BANC ONE ARIZONA or adversely affect the ability of BANC ONE ARIZONA
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
15. Representations and Warranties of CAPITAL. CAPITAL represents and warrants
to BANC ONE that, except as set forth in CAPITAL's disclosure letter to
BANC ONE dated September , 1993 and delivered to BANC ONE not later than
the time of the execution of this Merger Agreement (the "CAPITAL Disclosure
Letter"), and except as otherwise indicated below:
(a) CAPITAL is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the State of Utah, is a registered bank
holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, and is qualified to do business and is in good standing in
all jurisdictions where it is both required to so qualify and where
the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect, and
CAPITAL has full power and authority (including all licenses,
franchises, permits and other governmental authorizations which are
legally required) to engage in the businesses and activities now
conducted by it and the Subsidiaries. CAPITAL is not subject to any
formal or informal agreement or understanding with, nor is it subject
to any order of, any bank regulatory authority restricting or
prohibiting or attempting to restrict or prohibit any activities or
conduct of CAPITAL. As of June 30, 1993 and as of the date of this
Merger Agreement, the authorized capital stock of CAPITAL consists of
200,000 shares of CAPITAL Common, 150,345 of which shares are issued
and outstanding, 2,805 of which are treasury shares owned by CAPITAL.
All of the issued and outstanding shares of CAPITAL Common are duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and none are
issued in violation of the pre-emptive rights of any shareholder. As
of the date of this Merger Agreement, there are no outstanding
options, warrants or commitments of any kind related to CAPITAL's
capital stock.
(b) CAPITAL has furnished to BANC ONE copies of the following financial
statements relating to CAPITAL and CCB on a consolidated basis: (i)
the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of CAPITAL as of December 31,
1992 and 1991, and the Consolidated Statements of Income,
Stockholders' Equity and Cash Flows for the years then ended, together
with the notes thereto, as audited by [KPMG Peat Marwick], Certified
Public Accountants; and (ii) the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet
of CAPITAL as at June 30, 1993 and the unaudited Consolidated
Statements of Income and Cash Flows for the period then ended,
together with the notes thereto. Each of the aforementioned financial
statements presents fairly, in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (applied on a consistent basis except as
disclosed in the footnotes thereto), the consolidated financial
position and results of operations of CAPITAL as of the dates and for
the periods therein set forth. Such financial statements do not, as
of the dates thereof, include any material asset or omit any material
liability, absolute or contingent, or other fact, the inclusion or
omission of which renders such financial statements, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, misleading in any material
respect. Since June 30, 1993, there has not been any change in the
financial condition, results of operations or business of CAPITAL and
CCB that has had a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) The Board of Directors of CAPITAL has duly authorized the execution
and delivery of this Merger Agreement and approved the Holding Company
Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and will recommended it
to the CAPITAL shareholders for adoption. Subject to the approval by
the shareholders of CAPITAL and the contemplated regulatory approvals,
this Merger Agreement constitutes the valid, legally binding and
enforceable obligation of CAPITAL and CAPITAL has all requisite power
and authority to enter into this Merger Agreement and CAPITAL has the
authority to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby so that,
provided all required corporate and regulatory approvals are obtained,
neither the execution and delivery of this Merger Agreement nor the
consummation of the Holding Company Merger will conflict with, result
in the breach of, constitute a default under or accelerate the
performance provided by the terms of any law, or any rule or
regulation of any governmental agency or authority or any judgment,
order or decree of any court, bank regulatory agency or other
governmental agency to which CAPITAL is subject, any contract,
agreement or instrument to which CAPITAL is a party or by which
CAPITAL is bound or committed, or the Certificate of Incorporation or
By-laws of CAPITAL, or constitute an event which with the lapse of
time or action by a third party, could, to the best of CAPITAL's
knowledge, result in the default under any of the foregoing or result
in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the
assets or properties of CAPITAL or upon any of CAPITAL's capital
stock; except, in the case of contracts, agreements or instruments,
such defaults, conflicts or breaches which either (i) will be cured or
waived prior to the Effective Time or (ii) if not so cured or waived
would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) The reserve for possible loan and lease losses shown on the June 30,
1993 Consolidated Balance Sheet of CAPITAL and CCB is adequate in all
material respects under the requirements of generally accepted
accounting principles to provide for possible losses, net of
recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, on loans
outstanding (including, without limitation, accrued interest
receivable) as of June 30, 1993.
(e) Except as disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section
15(b), there is no litigation, action, suit, investigation or
proceeding pending or, to the best of the knowledge after due inquiry
of CAPITAL and its executive officers, overtly threatened, against or
affecting CAPITAL or CCB or involving any of their respective
properties or assets, at law or in equity, before any federal, state,
municipal, local or other governmental authority which is reasonably
likely to be resolved adversely to the interest of CAPITAL or CCB and,
if so resolved, would have a Material Adverse Effect, and to the best
of the knowledge and belief after due inquiry of CAPITAL and its
executive officers, no one has reasonable or valid grounds on which it
reasonably can be expected that anyone will assert or initiate any
such litigation, action, suit, investigation or proceeding against
CAPITAL or CCB based upon the wrongful action or inaction of CAPITAL
or CCB or any of their respective officers, directors or employees.
(f) CAPITAL and CCB have good and marketable title to all their respective
assets and properties, whether real or personal, tangible or
intangible, including without limitation the capital stock of CCB
owned by CAPITAL and all other assets and properties reflected in
CAPITAL's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1993 or acquired
subsequent thereto (except to the extent that such assets and
properties have been disposed of for fair value in the ordinary course
of business since June 30, 1993). Such assets and properties are
subject to no liens, mortgages, security interests, encumbrances,
pledges or charges of any kind, except (i) as reflected in said
Balance Sheet or the notes thereto; (ii) statutory liens for taxes not
yet delinquent; (iii) landlord's liens; and (iv) minor defects and
irregularities in title and encumbrances which do not materially
impair the use thereof for the purposes for which they are held; and
such liens, mortgages, security interests, encumbrances and charges do
not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. CAPITAL and
CCB as lessee have the right under valid and subsisting leases to
occupy, use, possess and control all property leased by CAPITAL and
CCB. At the Effective Time all limitations affecting such properties
will not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(g) To the best of the knowledge after due inquiry of CAPITAL and its
executive officers, CAPITAL and CCB have complied with all laws,
regulations and orders applicable to them and to the conduct of their
businesses, including without limitation, all statutes, rules and
regulations pertaining to the conduct of banking activities except for
violations which together with any penalty which results therefrom has
not had and will not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither CAPITAL
nor CCB is in default under, and no event has occurred which, to the
best of CAPITAL's knowledge, after due inquiry, is likely to result in
the default under the terms of any judgment, decree, order, writ, rule
or regulation of any governmental authority or court, whether federal,
state or local and whether at law or in equity, in each case where the
default has had or is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) CAPITAL has not, since June 30, 1993 to the date hereof, (i) sold or
issued any corporate debt securities or sold, issued, reissued or
increased its shares of its capital stock; (ii) granted any option for
the purchase of capital stock; (iii) declared or set aside or paid any
dividend or other distribution in respect of its capital stock, except
as permitted pursuant to Section 16(a) hereof or as incurred in
carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement,
or directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired
any shares of such stock; (iv) incurred any obligation or liability
(absolute or contingent) except obligations or liabilities incurred in
the ordinary course of business, or mortgaged, pledged or subjected to
lien or encumbrance (other than landlord's liens and statutory liens
for taxes not yet delinquent and banking transactions conducted in the
ordinary course of business) on any of its material assets or
properties; (v) discharged or satisfied any material lien or
encumbrance or paid any material obligation or liability (absolute or
contingent), other than current liabilities included in CAPITAL's
financial statements as of June 30, 1993, current liabilities incurred
since the date thereof in the ordinary course of business and
liabilities incurred in carrying out the transactions contemplated by
this Merger Agreement; (vi) sold, exchanged or otherwise disposed of
any material capital assets; (vii) made any extraordinary officers'
salary increase or wage increase, entered into any employment contract
with any officer or salaried employee or instituted any employee
welfare, bonus, stock option, profit-sharing, retirement or similar
plan or arrangement; (viii) suffered any damage, destruction or loss,
whether or not covered by insurance, that has had a Material Adverse
Effect or waived any rights of value which, in the aggregate, have had
a Material Adverse Effect; (ix) entered or agreed to enter into any
agreement or arrangement granting any preferential right to purchase
any of its material assets, properties or rights or requiring the
consent of any party to the transfer and assignment of any such
material assets, properties or rights; or (x) entered into any other
material transaction (other than in the ordinary course of business)
except as expressly contemplated by this Merger Agreement.
(i) Except as set forth in the CAPITAL Document List (the "CAPITAL
Document List") attached to the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter, neither
CAPITAL nor CCB is a party to or bound by any written or oral (i)
employment or consulting contract which is not terminable by CAPITAL
or CCB on 60 days or less notice, (ii) employee bonus, deferred
compensation, pension, stock bonus or purchase, profit-sharing,
retirement or stock option plan, (iii) other employee benefit or
welfare plan, or (iv) other executory material agreements as defined
by the instructions to Exhibit 10 under Item 601 of SEC Regulation
S-K. All such pension, stock bonus or purchase, profit-sharing,
retirement, health and welfare plans (other than any multiemployer
plans) set forth in the CAPITAL Document List are in this section
hereinafter referred to collectively as the "Plans." Those Plans
intended to be qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Code meet
any applicable requirements for favorable tax treatment under the
Code. All of the Plans which constitute employee pension benefit
plans or employee welfare plans subject to ERISA have been maintained
in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
requirements of ERISA. All material notices, reports and other
filings required under applicable law to be given or made to or with
any governmental agency with respect to the Plans have been timely
filed or delivered. CAPITAL has no knowledge of any circumstances
which would adversely affect the qualification of the Plans or their
compliance with the applicable requirements of ERISA, would result or
have resulted in liability under Title IV of ERISA or of any
unreported "reportable event" (as such term is defined in Section
4043(b) of ERISA) or any "prohibited transaction" (as such term is
defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975(c) of the Code) which
has occurred since the date on which said sections became applicable
to the Plans and which could reasonably be expected to result in any
material liability of CAPITAL or CCB to the PBGC, the Department of
Treasury, the Department of Labor or any multiemployer plan. Those
Plans which are defined benefit plans within the meaning of ERISA meet
the minimum funding standards set forth in the Code and ERISA and the
assets of such Plans equal or exceed the present value of accrued
benefits on a termination basis under such Plans as of the most recent
plan valuation date. There are no pending or threatened claims (other
than claims for benefits in the ordinary course), lawsuits or
arbitrations which have been asserted or instituted against the Plans,
any fiduciaries thereof with respect to their duties to the Plans or
the assets of any of the trusts under any of the Plans which could
reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of CAPITAL
or CCB to the PBGC, the Department of Treasury, the Department of
Labor or any multiemployer plan.
(j) CAPITAL and/or CCB have duly filed all federal, state, county and
local income, franchise, bank, excise, real and personal property and
other tax returns and reports (including, but not limited to, those
relating to social security, withholding, unemployment insurance, and
occupation, sales, and use taxes and those filed on a consolidated,
combined or unitary basis) required to have been filed by CAPITAL or
CCB up to the date hereof. CAPITAL has made available to BANC ONE a
copy of its Federal income tax return for the years 1991 and 1992.
All of the foregoing returns are true and correct in all material
respects, and CAPITAL and CCB have paid or, prior to the Effective
Time, will pay all taxes, interest, additions to tax, and penalties
shown on such returns or reports as being due or (except to the extent
the same are contested in good faith and, if material, summarized in
the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter) claimed to be due to any federal,
state, county, local or other taxing authority, and there is, and at
the Effective Time will be, no basis for any additional claim or
assessment which might materially and adversely affect CAPITAL and
CCB, except for those being contested in good faith and summarized in
the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter. CAPITAL and CCB have paid or made
adequate provision in their financial statements or on their books and
records for all taxes payable in respect of all periods ending on or
before the date hereof. CAPITAL and CCB have, or at the Effective
Time will have, no liability for any taxes, interest, additions to
tax, or penalties of any nature whatsoever, except for those taxes
which may have arisen up to the Effective Time in the ordinary course
of business and are properly accrued on the books of CAPITAL and CCB
as of the Effective Time or are being contested in good faith and
have, if material, been summarized in the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter.
(k) CAPITAL and CCB have in effect insurance coverage with reputable
insurers which in respect of amounts, premiums, types and risks
insured, constitutes reasonably adequate coverage against all risks
customarily insured against by bank holding companies and their
subsidiaries comparable in size and operations to CAPITAL and CCB.
(l) CAPITAL has not incurred and will not incur any liability for
brokerage, finders', agents', or investment bankers' fees or
commissions in connection with this Merger Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby except for fees, in an amount which
BANC ONE, in good faith, deems reasonable and appropriate, to an
independent investment banker or adviser of recognized expertise in
the banking field (the "Investment Banker"), to be selected by
CAPITAL, acceptable to BANC ONE, in connection with such investment
banker's written opinion regarding the fairness of the Holding Company
Merger to the shareholders of CAPITAL and of the Bank Merger to the
minority shareholders of CCB from a financial point of view.
(m) CAPITAL has annexed to the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter a loan schedule
identifying certain loan agreements, notes and borrowing arrangements
(the "CAPITAL Loan Schedule") between CCB and its borrowers, as of the
date hereof. Except as specifically noted on the CAPITAL Loan
Schedule, CCB is not, (i) as of the date hereof, a party to any
written or, to CAPITAL's actual knowledge, oral (A) loan agreement,
note or borrowing arrangement which has been classified as
"substandard," "doubtful," "loss," "other loans especially mentioned"
or any comparable classifications by CAPITAL, CCB or banking
regulator; (B) loan agreement, note, or borrowing arrangement,
including any loan guaranty, with any director, executive officer or
ten percent shareholder of CAPITAL, or to the actual knowledge of
CAPITAL and its executive officers, after due inquiry, any person,
corporation or enterprise controlling, controlled by or under common
control with any of the foregoing; or, (C) to the best of CAPITAL's
knowledge, loan agreement, note or borrowing arrangement in violation
of any law, regulation or rule of any governmental authority and which
violation could, to the best of CAPITAL's knowledge after due inquiry,
have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii), as of the close of business
on July 31, 1993, except for loans with an unpaid principal balance of
$500,000 or more (which loans are set forth on the CAPITAL Loan
Schedule as of the date hereof), a party to any written or, to
CAPITAL's actual knowledge, oral loan agreement, note or borrowing
arrangement, other than credit card loans and other loans the unpaid
balance of which does not exceed $50,000 per loan, under the terms of
which the obligor is over 60 days delinquent in payment of principal
or interest or, to the best of CAPITAL's knowledge, in default of any
other provision as of the dates shown thereon.
(n) None of the information provided by CAPITAL or CCB to BANC ONE for
inclusion in the Proxy Statement or related registration statement or
any amendment or supplement thereto (to the extent so included as so
provided) shall contain (in the case of information relating to the
Proxy Statement, at the time it is mailed and in the case of
information relating to the registration statement, at the time it
becomes effective) any untrue statement of a material fact or shall
omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are
made, not misleading.
(o) CAPITAL has annexed a contracts schedule (the "CAPITAL Contracts
Schedule") to the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter setting forth certain
material contracts, including credit agreements, on which CAPITAL or
CCB is the obligor, maker, issuer or guarantor as of the date hereof.
Except as specifically disclosed on the CAPITAL Contracts Schedule,
neither CAPITAL nor CCB is, as of the date hereof, a party to any
material contract and/or any material credit agreement as obligor,
maker, issuer or guarantor and which contract or agreement contains
covenants which make the acquisition of CAPITAL or CCB by or merger
with another entity a condition of default or acceleration.
(p) Attached hereto as Exhibit A is CAPITAL's Subsidiaries List which sets
forth the complete legal name of CCB and of each other entity, if any,
in which CAPITAL or CCB own or control 5% or more of its capital or
voting stock (a "Subsidiary"), a designation of the laws under which
CCB and each Subsidiary is incorporated, the activities conducted by
CCB and each Subsidiary and the regulatory approvals, if any,
requested and/or obtained by CAPITAL, CCB and/or each Subsidiary in
connection with the acquisition of such entity and/or the regulatory
approvals received by CAPITAL, CCB and any Subsidiary necessary to
engage in such activities. Except for CCB and as set forth in Exhibit
A, CAPITAL and CCB have no Subsidiaries. Except as may be set forth
in Exhibit A, CAPITAL owns beneficially and of record all the
outstanding shares of capital stock of CCB and of each Subsidiary
listed thereon, which stock is fully paid and non-assessable, except
as provided by law. Neither CAPITAL, CCB or any other Subsidiary
listed on Exhibit A is a party to any partnership or joint venture
except as may be set forth and described in Exhibit A.
CCB is a corporation duly organized and validly existing in good
standing under the laws of the State of Utah and has full power and
authority (including all licenses, franchises, permits and other
governmental authorizations which are legally required) to engage in
the businesses and activities now conducted by it and is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions
where the failure to so qualify (together with all such failures)
would have a Material Adverse Effect. As of June 30, 1993, the
authorized capital stock of CCB consisted of 200,000 shares of CCB
Common, 132,850 of which were issued and outstanding and none of which
were treasury shares of CCB, and 50,000 shares of CCB Preferred,
24,000 of which were issued and outstanding and none of which were
treasury shares of CCB. CCB has granted and there is outstanding CCB
Options related to 7,917 shares of CCB Common. Of the 132,850 issued
and outstanding shares of CCB Common, 114,768 were owned by CAPITAL
and 18,082 of such shares were owned by minority shareholders of CCB.
(q) No employee of CAPITAL or CCB is represented, for purposes of
collective bargaining, by a labor organization of any type. CAPITAL
is unaware of any efforts during the past five years to unionize or
organize any employees of CAPITAL or CCB, and no claim related to such
employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act, National Labor Relations
Act, Civil Rights Act of 1964, Walsh-Healy Act, Davis Bacon Act, Civil
Rights Act of 1866, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Equal Pay
Act of 1963, Executive Order No. 11246, Federal Unemployment Tax Act,
Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Act, Occupational Safety and Health
Act, or any state or local employment related law, order, ordinance or
regulation, no unfair labor practice, discrimination or wage-and-hour
claim is pending or, to the best of CAPITAL's knowledge, threatened
against CAPITAL or CCB, which claim has had or is reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.
(r) To the actual knowledge of CAPITAL and its executive officers: (i)
with respect to any Contaminant, there are no material actions,
proceedings or investigations pending or threatened before any federal
or state environmental regulatory body, or before any federal or state
court, alleging non-compliance with or liability in connection with,
by CAPITAL or CCB, CERCLA or any other Environmental Laws; (ii) there
is no reasonable basis for the institution of any material action,
proceeding or investigation against CAPITAL or CCB under any
Environmental Law; (iii) neither CAPITAL nor CCB is responsible in any
material respect under any Environmental Law for any Release; (iv)
neither CAPITAL nor CCB is responsible for any material costs of any
response action required by virtue of any Release of any Contaminant
into the environment including, without limitation, costs arising from
investigation, removal or remediation of Contaminants, security
fencing, alternative water supplies, temporary evacuation and housing
and other emergency assistance undertaken by any environmental
regulatory body or any other person; (v) CAPITAL and CCB is, in all
material respects, in compliance with all applicable Environmental
Laws; and (vi) no real property owned or used by CAPITAL or CCB
contains any Contaminant including, without limitation, any asbestos,
PCBs or petroleum products or byproducts in any form, the presence,
location or condition of which (a) could require remediation or other
corrective action pursuant to any Environmental Law in any material
respect, or (b) otherwise would pose any significant health or safety
risk unless remedial measures were taken.
(s) CAPITAL and/or the CCB (i) have surveyed the facilities where CAPITAL
and CCB conduct their businesses including, without limitation, ATMs
(collectively, the "CAPITAL Facilities") for compliance with ADA; (ii)
have developed action plans to remove architectural barriers including
communication barriers that are structural in nature from existing
CAPITAL Facilities (collectively, the "CAPITAL Barriers") when such
removal is "readily achievable," as that term is defined in ADA; (iii)
will finalize action plans for ATMs upon clarification by the ATBCB;
(iv) have developed or will develop schedules for CAPITAL Barrier
removal from CAPITAL Facilities in such action plans so that CAPITAL
Barrier removal was completed on January 26, 1992 or will be completed
as soon as practicable; and (v) have removed all CAPITAL Barriers in
CAPITAL Facilities or will cause all CAPITAL Barriers to be removed in
accordance with such action plans. All "alterations" (as such term is
defined in ADA) to CAPITAL Facilities undertaken after January 26,
1992 comply with ADA and the ADAAG. Effective January 26, 1992, all
plans and designs for new construction to be utilized by CAPITAL and
CCB comply with ADA and ADAAG. To the best of CAPITAL's knowledge,
after due inquiry, no material investigations, proceedings, or
complaints, formal or informal, are pending or threatened against
CAPITAL and/or CCB in connection with CAPITAL Facilities under ADA,
ADAAG, or any other state or federal law concerning accessibility for
individuals with disabilities.
(t) The statements made and the information included in the CAPITAL
Disclosure Letter and any attachments thereto shall be deemed to
constitute representations and warranties of CAPITAL under this Merger
Agreement to the same extent as if herein set forth in full. Anything
disclosed in the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter or the attachments thereto
shall be considered to have been disclosed for purposes of all
representations, warranties and covenants under this Merger Agreement.
(u) There are no credit agreements on which CAPITAL or CCB is the maker,
issuer or guarantor and which contain provisions which make the
acquisition of CAPITAL or CCB by or merger into another entity a
condition of default or acceleration.
16. Action by CAPITAL Pending Effective Time. CAPITAL agrees that from the
date of this Merger Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or
the time that this Merger Agreement is terminated, except with the prior
written permission of BANC ONE, which, in any case covered by Section 16(d)
hereof, shall not be unreasonably withheld:
(a) Beginning with the third calendar quarter of 1993 and for each
succeeding calendar quarter thereafter prior to that calendar quarter
in which the Effective Time shall occur, CAPITAL
(i) will not declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions
on shares of CAPITAL Common, except cash dividends of $0.25 per
share per quarter;
(ii) except as hereinbelow provided, will not declare or pay any
dividends or make any distributions in any amount on its CAPITAL
Common in the quarter in which the Effective Time shall occur
and in which the shareholders of CAPITAL Common are entitled to
receive regular quarterly dividends on the shares of BANC ONE
Common into which the shares of CAPITAL Common have been
converted. It is the intent of this part (ii) to provide that
the holders of CAPITAL Common will receive either the payment of
cash dividends on their shares of CAPITAL Common or the payment
of cash dividends as the holders of shares of BANC ONE Common
received in exchange for the shares of CAPITAL Common for the
calendar quarter during which the Effective Time shall occur,
but will not receive and will not become entitled to receive for
the same calendar quarter both the payment of a cash dividend as
shareholders of CAPITAL and the payment of a cash dividend as
the holders of the shares of BANC ONE Common received in
exchange for the shares of CAPITAL Common. In the event that
CAPITAL does not declare and pay cash dividends on its CAPITAL
Common in a particular calendar quarter because of CAPITAL's
reasonable expectation that the Effective Time would occur in
said calendar quarter wherein the holders of CAPITAL Common
would have become entitled to receive cash dividends for such
calendar quarter on the shares of BANC ONE Common to have been
exchanged for the shares of CAPITAL Common, and the Effective
Time does not in fact occur effective in said calendar quarter,
then, as a result thereof, CAPITAL shall be entitled to declare
and pay a cash dividend (within the limitations of this Section
16) on said shares of CAPITAL Common for said calendar quarter
as soon as reasonably practicable.
The declaration of any dividends within the limitations of this
paragraph shall remain within the discretion of the Board of Directors
of CAPITAL.
(b) Neither CAPITAL or CCB will issue, sell, grant any option for, or
acquire for value any shares of its capital stock or otherwise effect
any change in connection with its equity capitalization, except that
(i) CCB may issue up to 7,917 shares of CCB Common in connection with
the exercise of all the CCB Options and (ii) CCB may redeem all 24,000
shares of CCB Preferred at its par value of $50.00 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date of redemption.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth in or contemplated by this Merger
Agreement, CAPITAL will carry on its businesses in substantially the
same manner as heretofore, use its reasonable best efforts to keep in
full force and effect insurance comparable in amount and scope of
coverage to that now maintained by it and use its reasonable best
efforts to maintain and preserve its business organization intact.
(d) Except as may be otherwise provided in the Benefits Agreement, neither
CAPITAL nor CCB will (i) enter into any new line of business or incur
or agree to incur any obligation or liability except liabilities and
obligations (including corporate debt issuances) incurred in the
ordinary course of business, except as may be directed by any
regulatory agency; (ii) except as may be directed by any regulatory
agency, change its or the Subsidiaries' lending, investment, liability
management and other material banking policies in any material
respect; (iii) except in the ordinary course of business and
consistent with prior practice, grant any general or uniform increase
in the rates of pay of employees; (iv) establish any new employee
benefit plan or amend any existing plan (except as required by law or
permitted in the Benefits Letter) so as to increase by any significant
amount the benefits payable thereunder; (v) incur or commit to any
capital expenditures other than in the ordinary course of business
(which will in no event include the establishment of new branches or
any other facilities or any capital expenditures in excess of $50,000
for any individual project for any purpose); or (vi) merge into,
consolidate with or permit any other corporation to be merged or
consolidated with it or any of its Subsidiaries or acquire outside of
the ordinary course of business part of or all the assets or stock of
any other corporation or person.
(e) CAPITAL will not change its or CCB's methods of accounting in effect
at December 31, 1992, except as required by changes in generally
accepted accounting principles as concurred in by KPMG Peat Marwick,
or change any of its methods of reporting income and deductions for
Federal income tax purposes from those employed in the preparation of
CAPITAL's Federal income tax returns for the taxable years ending
December 31, 1992 and 1991, except as required by changes in law or
regulation.
(f) CAPITAL will afford BANC ONE, its officers and other authorized
representatives, such access to all books, records, bank examination
reports (as permitted by law), tax returns, leases, contracts and
documents of CAPITAL and CCB and will furnish to BANC ONE such
information with respect to the assets and business of CAPITAL and CCB
as BANC ONE may from time to time reasonably request in connection
with this Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(g) CAPITAL will promptly advise BANC ONE in writing of all material
corporate actions taken by the directors and shareholders of CAPITAL
and/or CCB, furnish BANC ONE with copies of all monthly and other
interim financial statements of CAPITAL and CCB as they become
available, and keep BANC ONE fully informed concerning all trends and
developments which in the opinion of CAPITAL may have a Material
Adverse Effect on CAPITAL and/or CCB.
(h) CAPITAL, CCB and their respective officers, directors and employees
will not contract for or acquire, at the expense of CAPITAL or CCB, a
policy or policies providing for insurance coverage for directors,
officers and/or employees of CAPITAL and/or CCB for any period
subsequent to the Effective Time for events occurring before or after
the Effective Time; provided, however, that CAPITAL may renew, extend
or replace existing policies in the ordinary course consistent with
past practices for periods of not greater than one year.
17. Action by BANC ONE Pending Effective Time. BANC ONE agrees that from the
date of this Merger Agreement until the Effective Time, except with prior
written permission of CAPITAL:
(a) BANC ONE will not adopt or implement any amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation or any plan of reorganization which would affect in any
manner the terms and provisions of the shares of BANC ONE Common or
the rights of the holders of such shares or reclassify the BANC ONE
Common.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in or contemplated by this Merger
Agreement, BANC ONE will carry on its businesses in substantially the
same manner as heretofore, use its reasonable best efforts to keep in
full force and effect insurance comparable in amount and scope of
coverage to that now maintained by it and use its reasonable best
efforts to maintain and preserve its business organization intact.
(c) BANC ONE will not change its or its subsidiaries' methods of
accounting in effect at December 31, 1992, except as required by
changes in generally accepted accounting principles as concurred with
by Coopers & Lybrand, its independent auditors, or change any of its
methods of reporting income and deductions for Federal income tax
purposes from those employed in the preparation of the Federal income
tax returns of BANC ONE for the taxable years ending December 31, 1992
and 1991, except as required by changes in law or regulation.
(d) BANC ONE will afford CAPITAL, its officers and other authorized
representatives, such access to all books, records, bank examination
reports (as permitted by law), tax returns, leases, contracts and
documents of BANC ONE and its subsidiaries and will furnish to CAPITAL
such information with respect to the assets, earnings and business of
BANC ONE and its subsidiaries as CAPITAL may from time to time
reasonably request in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby.
18. Conditions to Obligations of BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA. The

Merger are subject, unless waived by BANC ONE, to the satisfaction of the

applied to the Balance Sheet of CAPITAL included in the most recently
available quarterly or annual report to CAPITAL shareholders as of
the close of the most recent calendar quarter prior to the Effective
Date (as hereinafter defined) and the reserve for possible loan and
lease losses included therein, as though each reference to "June 30,
1993" in such section were a reference to the last day of the most

(d) BANC ONE shall have received the opinion of legal counsel for CAPITAL,

than 114,768 of which shall be owned by CAPITAL.
(j) CAPITAL shall have furnished BANC ONE a certificate, signed on its
behalf by the Chairman or President and the Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary of CAPITAL and dated as of the Effective Time, certifying as

(a) The parties hereto shall have received all necessary approvals of
governmental agencies and authorities of the transactions contemplated
by this Merger Agreement and each of such approvals shall remain in
full force and effect at the Effective Time. BANC ONE shall notify
CAPITAL promptly upon receipt of all necessary governmental
approvals. At the Effective Time, (i) no party hereto shall be

respect to the transactions to be consummated hereunder.
(e) Coopers & Lybrand shall have issued its written opinion, dated as of a
date not later than the Effective Time, satisfactory, in good faith,
to BANC ONE, advising that the transaction herein contemplated may be
properly accounted for as a pooling-of-interests; provided, however,
that this condition shall be deemed to have been waived by BANC ONE if
the inability to obtain such opinion arises out of, or results
directly or indirectly from, any action taken by BANC ONE, BANC ONE
ARIZONA or any of their respective subsidiaries contrary to that
contemplated by this Merger Agreement.
21. Indemnification.
(a) In the event of any threatened or actual claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation, whether formal or informal and whether
civil, administrative or criminal, including, without limitation, any
such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation in which any
person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof,
or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer,
employee, fiduciary or agent of CAPITAL or CCB (the "Indemnified
Parties") is, or is threatened to be, made a party or a witness, based
in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or
pertaining to, this Merger Agreement or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby (a "Merger Related Event"), whether in any case
asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, the parties
hereto agree to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to
defend against and respond to such claim, action, suit, proceedings or
investigation. It is understood and agreed that, provided that, with
regard to any Merger Related Event, and conditioned upon the Holding
Company Merger becoming effective, BANC ONE shall indemnify and hold
harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
each Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses),
judgments and fines, and amounts paid in settlement, in connection
with any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceedings or
investigation; provided, however, that BANC ONE shall not be liable
for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In the event of any such
threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceedings or investigation
(whether asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time), (i)
BANC ONE shall pay expenses (including attorney's fees and expenses)
in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceedings or
investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, and (ii) BANC ONE shall use its
reasonable best efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of any such
matter; provided, however, that BANC ONE's obligations as herein set
forth shall not apply to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
costs, expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement by
any Indemnified Party involving the fraud, bad faith and/or reckless
disregard of such Indemnified Party or related to any threatened or
actual claim, action, suit, proceedings or investigation brought by
BANC ONE against any Indemnified Party. Any Indemnified Party wishing
to claim indemnification under this Section 21(a) shall, upon learning
of or having reason to anticipate any such claim, action, suit,
proceedings or investigation, immediately notify BANC ONE thereof.
(b) BANC ONE shall insure that all rights to indemnification and all
limitations of liability existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties
as provided in CAPITAL's Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws or
similar governing documents of CCB, as in effect as of July 1, 1993,
or as otherwise provided for or allowed under applicable law as in
effect as of the date hereof or as amended at a time prior to the
Effective Time, with respect to claims or liabilities arising from
facts or events existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time,
shall survive the Holding Company Merger and the Bank Merger and shall
continue in full force and effect, without any amendment thereto, for
a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however,
that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim asserted or
made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of
such claim.
(c) From and after the Effective Time, persons who, immediately prior to
the Effective Time, served as the directors, officers and employees of
CAPITAL and CCB, who, following the Effective Time, continue as
directors, officers and/or employees of the Surviving Corporation or
one of its subsidiaries, shall have indemnification rights having
prospective application only, except, however, for the indemnification
rights set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 21. These
prospective indemnification rights shall consist of (i) such rights to
which directors, officers and employees are entitled under the
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or similar
governing documents of the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries,
as applicable, as in effect from time to time after the Effective
Time, as applicable, and provisions of applicable law as in effect
from time to time after the Effective Time and (ii) those
indemnification rights set forth in agreements, if any, between BANC
ONE and the directors and executive officers of the Surviving
Corporation and its subsidiaries. Such agreements, if any, which
shall be executed as soon as practicable following the Effective Time,
shall provide certain indemnification rights that are comparable to
those provided to directors, officers and employees of BANC ONE and
its subsidiaries generally, but which rights may be greater or lesser
than the indemnification rights available in clause (i) above.
(d) The obligations of BANC ONE provided under paragraphs (a) and (b) this
Section 21 are intended to be the joint and several obligations of
BANC ONE and the Surviving Corporation and to benefit, and be
enforceable against BANC ONE and the Surviving Corporation directly
by, the Indemnified Parties, and shall be binding on all respective
successors and permitted assigns of BANC ONE and the Surviving
Corporation.
(e) In the event BANC ONE or the Surviving Corporation or any of its
successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other
person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or
entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys
all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person,
then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that
the successors and assigns of BANC ONE or the Surviving Corporation,
as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section
21.
22. Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. The respective
representations and warranties of CAPITAL, BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA
contained in this Merger Agreement shall not survive the Effective Time;
provided, however, that BANC ONE's obligation to pay certain expenses
pursuant to Section 10(e) of this Merger Agreement and to indemnify
pursuant to Section 21 of this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time.
23. Governing Law. This Merger Agreement shall be construed and interpreted
according to the applicable laws of the State of Utah, except as the laws
of the State of Arizona are expressly applicable to the Holding Company
Merger.
24. Assignment. This Merger Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Merger
Agreement nor any of the rights, interest, or obligations hereunder shall
be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent
of the other parties.
25. Satisfaction of Conditions; Termination.
(a) BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA agree to use their reasonable best
efforts to obtain satisfaction of the conditions of this Merger
Agreement insofar as they relate to BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA, and
CAPITAL agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the
satisfaction of the conditions of this Merger Agreement insofar as
they relate to CAPITAL, in each case as soon as possible.
(b) This Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the
Effective Time, whether before or after approval of the Holding
Company Merger by the shareholders of BANC ONE ARIZONA or by CAPITAL's
shareholders, upon the occurrence of any of the following by written
notice from BANC ONE to CAPITAL (authorized by the Board of Directors
of BANC ONE), or by written notice from CAPITAL to BANC ONE
(authorized by the Board of Directors of CAPITAL), as the case may be:
(i) If any material condition to the obligations of BANC ONE and/or
BANC ONE ARIZONA set forth in Section 18 or 20 is not
substantially satisfied at the time or times contemplated
thereby and such condition is not waived by BANC ONE or if any
material condition to the obligations of CAPITAL as set forth in
Section 19 or 20 is not substantially satisfied at the time or
times contemplated thereby and such condition is not waived by
CAPITAL, it being understood that each party's right to
terminate under this Section 25 (b)(i) shall relate only to
conditions to that party's obligations;
(ii) In the event of a material breach by the other of any
representation, warranty, condition or agreement contained in
this Merger Agreement that is not cured within 30 days of the
time that written notice of such breach is received by such
other party from the party giving notice; or
(iii) If the Holding Company Merger shall not have been consummated on
or before July 15, 1994.
(c) In the event that BANC ONE's pre-acquisition investigation and review
of CAPITAL as described in Section 10(n) of this Merger Agreement
discloses matters which BANC ONE in good faith believes to be either
(i) inconsistent in any material respect with any of the
representations and warranties of CAPITAL contained in this Agreement
or (ii), in the reasonable judgment of the Board of Directors of BANC
ONE, to be either (x) of such significance as to materially and
adversely affect the financial condition or the results of operations
of CAPITAL and CCB on a consolidated basis or (y) to deviate
materially and adversely from CAPITAL's audited financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1992, BANC ONE shall have the right to
terminate this Merger Agreement as set forth in this Section 25(c) as
supplemented by the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter by giving written notice
of termination to CAPITAL within seven days of the conclusion of such
pre-acquisition investigation.
(d) In the event that CAPITAL's pre-acquisition investigation and review
of BANC ONE as described in Section 10(o) of this Merger Agreement
discloses matters which CAPITAL in good faith believes to be either
(i) inconsistent in any material respect with any of the
representations and warranties of BANC ONE contained in this
Agreement, or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of the Board of
Directors of CAPITAL, to be either (x) of such significance as to
materially and adversely affect the financial condition or the results
of operations of BANC ONE and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis
or (y) to deviate materially and adversely from BANC ONE's audited
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1992, CAPITAL may
elect to terminate this Merger Agreement by giving written notice of
termination to BANC ONE within seven days of the conclusion of such
pre-acquisition investigation.
(e) In the event the BANC ONE Average Price (as defined in Section 7 of
this Merger Agreement) is less than $35.00 per share (the "Termination
Price"), CAPITAL, by action of its Board of Directors, in its sole
discretion, may, but is not required to, elect to terminate this
Merger Agreement, whether before or after approval of the Merger by
the shareholders of BANC ONE ARIZONA or by CAPITAL's shareholders, by
giving written notice of such election to BANC ONE within two NYSE
trading days after the Valuation Period (as defined in Section 7 of
this Merger Agreement). In determining whether to terminate this
Merger Agreement pursuant to this Section 25(e), the Board of
Directors of CAPITAL may consider whether the fact that the BANC ONE
Average Price is less than $35.00 per share is attributable to general
market conditions, reflects an inability of BANC ONE Common to earn
and/or maintain an acceptable level of return in the future, the
relative stock prices of CAPITAL, BANC ONE and other national and
regional bank holding companies or selected groups thereof, and any
other pertinent factors, including, without limitation, general
economic and market conditions. In the event that BANC ONE shall
declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide, split up,
reclassify or combine BANC ONE Common or declare a dividend, or make a
distribution on BANC ONE Common in any security convertible into BANC
ONE Common (except for the Stock Split which was taken into account
herein), appropriate adjustment will be made in the Termination Price.
A termination resulting from CAPITAL's election under this Section
25(e) shall be deemed to have been a termination by mutual consent of
the parties.
(f) This Merger Agreement may be terminated and abandoned (whether before
or after approval of the Holding Company Merger by the shareholders of
BANC ONE ARIZONA or by CAPITAL's shareholders) by mutual written
consent of CAPITAL, BANC ONE ARIZONA and BANC ONE authorized by their
respective Boards of Directors.
(g) In the event of termination of this Merger Agreement (i) caused
otherwise than by a willful breach of this Merger Agreement by any of
the parties hereto or (ii) pursuant to Section 25(c) or (d), this
Merger Agreement shall cease and terminate, the acquisition of CAPITAL
as provided herein shall not be consummated, and none of BANC ONE,
BANC ONE ARIZONA nor CAPITAL shall have any liability to any other
party under this Merger Agreement of any nature whatever, except for
BANC ONE's obligations related to the printing of the proxy
solicitation materials, including any liability for damages, provided,
however, that the duties of the parties with respect to confidential
information as set forth in Section 10(f) shall survive any such
termination. If the Holding Company Merger is not consummated as the
result of termination of this Merger Agreement caused otherwise than
by willful breach of a party hereto, BANC ONE, BANC ONE ARIZONA and
CAPITAL each shall pay its own fees and expenses incident to the
negotiation, preparation and execution of this Merger Agreement, the
respective shareholders' meetings and actions of the parties and all
other acts incidental to, contemplated by or in pursuance of the
transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement, including fees and
expenses of their respective counsel, accountants and other experts
and advisors.
(h) If termination of this Merger Agreement shall be judicially determined
to have been caused by willful breach of this Merger Agreement, then,
in addition to other remedies at law or equity for breach of this
Merger Agreement, the party so found to have willfully breached this
Merger Agreement shall indemnify the other parties for their
respective costs, fees and expenses of their counsel, accountants and
other experts and advisors as well as fees and expenses incident to
negotiation, preparation and execution of this Merger Agreement and
related documentation and their shareholders' meetings and consents.
26. Waivers; Amendments. Any of the provisions of this Merger Agreement may be
waived at any time by the party which is, or the shareholders of which are,
entitled to the benefit thereof, provided, however, such waiver, if
material to CAPITAL or its shareholders, may be made only following due
authorization by the Board of Directors of CAPITAL. This Merger Agreement
may be amended or modified in whole or in part by an agreement in writing
executed in the same manner (but not necessarily by the same persons) as
this Merger Agreement and which makes reference to this Merger Agreement,
provided, however, such amendment or modification may be made only
following due authorization by the respective Boards of Directors of
CAPITAL, BANC ONE ARIZONA and BANC ONE; provided, further, however, that
after a favorable vote by the shareholders of CAPITAL any such action shall
be taken by CAPITAL only if, in the opinion of its Board of Directors, such
amendment or modification will not have any material adverse effect on the
benefits intended under this Merger Agreement for the shareholders of
CAPITAL and will not require resolicitation of any proxies from such
shareholders.
27. Entire Agreement. Subject to the exceptions noted in the next following
sentence, this Agreement supersedes any other agreement, whether written or
oral, that may have been made or entered into by CAPITAL, BANC ONE ARIZONA
and BANC ONE or by any officer or officers of such parties relating to the
acquisition of the business or the capital stock of CAPITAL and/or its
Subsidiaries by BANC ONE or BANC ONE ARIZONA. Except for the BANC ONE
Disclosure Letter and any attachment thereto, the CAPITAL Disclosure Letter
and any attachments thereto, the Benefits Agreement, this Merger Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement by the parties, and there are no
agreements or commitments except as set forth herein and therein.
28. Captions; Counterparts. The captions in this Merger Agreement are for
convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the
construction or interpretation of any provision of this Merger Agreement.
This Merger Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
29. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder may be made by

ARTICLE II
MANNER AND BASIS OF CONVERTING COMMON STOCK AND
CAPITALIZATION OF THE CONTINUING BANK
SECTION 2.1. CONVERSION OF CAPITAL STOCK. Subject to the conditions and
limitations set forth in this Bank Merger Agreement and the Holding Company
Merger Agreement, by virtue of the Bank Merger and without any action on the
part of any holder of shares of CCB Common:
(a) At the Effective Time:
(i) The aggregate dollar amount and number of shares of BANK ONE
UTAH Common of the par value of Thirty-five Dollars ($35) per
share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time (specifically, $30,482,165 divided into 870,919 shares)
shall be continue as 870,919 issued and outstanding shares of
common stock of the par value of Thirty-five Dollars ($35) per
share of BANK ONE UTAH as the Continuing Bank.
(ii) Each of the not more than 114,768 shares of CCB Common which
shall be owned by CAPITAL or BANC ONE ARIZONA immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall not
represent or continue as capital stock of the Continuing Bank
and shall not be exchanged for shares of BANC ONE Common. All
of the shares of CCB Common held by CCB as treasury shares
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and
shall not represent capital stock of the Continuing Bank and
shall not be exchanged for shares of BANC ONE Common.
(iii) Each of the not more than 25,999 shares of CCB Common that
shall be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time and which is held by a shareholder other than
CAPITAL or BANC ONE ARIZONA (hereinafter, the "CCB Minority
Shares" and which shall include not only the 18,082 shares of
CCB Common owned by minority shareholders of CCB as of the date
of this Bank Merger Agreement but also the not more than 7,917
shares of CCB Common which are acquired by a minority
shareholder and received upon the exercise of the CCB Options
prior to the Effective Time) shall be cancelled and shall not
represent or continue as capital stock of the Continuing Bank,
and at the Effective Time, and without further action, shall be
converted into shares of BANC ONE Common at the Bank Exchange
Rate which shall be calculated as set forth in this Section
2.1(a)(iii). CCB's shareholders of record at the Effective
Time (other than CAPITAL or BANC ONE ARIZONA and which
shareholders other than CAPITAL or BANC ONE ARIZONA are
hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Minority
Shareholders) for the CCB Minority Shares then held by them,
respectively, shall be allocated and entitled to receive (upon
surrender of certificates representing said shares for
cancellation) shares of BANC ONE Common, which total number of
shares of BANC ONE Common shall have a market value as of the
Valuation Period (as hereinafter defined) equal to the product
of (x) the number of CCB Minority Shares that shall be issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, times
(y) $132.00 (hereinafter the amount so-calculated pursuant to
this Section 2.1(a)(iii) is referred to as the "Market Value"),
subject, however, to (A) the provisions of this Section
2.1(a)(iii) with respect to the minimum and maximum number of
shares to be exchanged, (B) the anti-dilution provisions of
Sections 7(e) and 7(f) of this Merger Agreement, and (C)
provisions set forth in Section 2.1(c) herein relative to
fractional shares.
The term "Valuation Period" shall mean the ten consecutive days
on which shares of BANC ONE Common are traded on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") ending on the sixth NYSE trading day
immediately prior to the proposed Effective Time, as designated
by BANC ONE pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Holding Company
Merger Agreement.
For purposes of establishing the "Bank Exchange Rate," (the
number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which each CCB
Minority Share shall be converted at the Effective Time), each
share of BANC ONE Common shall be valued at the average of the
daily closing trade prices of BANC ONE Common on the NYSE
during the Valuation Period as reported in The Wall Street
Journal for NYSE Composite Transactions (the "BANC ONE Average
Price"); provided, however, that for purposes of Section 2.1 of
this Merger Agreement and the calculations herein required,
said BANC ONE Average Price will be deemed not to be greater
than $49.00 nor less than $40.54 per share. Such BANC ONE
Average Price shall then be divided into the Market Value (as
calculated pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii), above) to
establish (to the nearest whole share) the aggregate number of
shares of BANC ONE Common into which all of the then issued and
outstanding CCB Minority Shares shall be converted at the
Effective Time. Such number of shares of BANC ONE Common shall
then be divided by the number of CCB Minority Shares issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with the
quotient therefrom, carried to three decimal places, being the
number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which each such CCB
Minority Share shall be converted at the Effective Time. In
the event the BANC ONE Average Price is below $40.54, the total
number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which the CCB Minority
Shares shall be converted will be the number of BANC ONE Common
shares calculated by multiplying (x) 3.255 times (y) the number
of CCB Minority Shares issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time. In the event the BANC ONE Average
Price is above the $49.00, the total number of shares of BANC
ONE Common into which such CCB Minority Shares shall be
converted will be the number of BANC ONE Common shares
calculated by multiplying (x) 2.693 times (y) the number of CCB
Minority Shares that shall be issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (not including treasury
shares).
The maximum and minimum total number of shares of BANC ONE
Common for which all of the CCB Minority Shares shall be
exchanged shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the
anti-dilution provisions of Section 2.1(e) of this Merger
Agreement. The Bank Exchange Rate shall be subject to
adjustment in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of
Section 2.1(f) of this Merger Agreement. In no event, however,
will more than 84,746 shares of BANC ONE Common be exchanged
for all the shares of CCB Common held by Minority Shareholders.
(b) At the Effective Time, stock issued by reason of the Bank Merger shall
be allocated to the Minority Shareholders as of the Effective Time
with such shares of BANC ONE Common to be equal to the number of CCB
Minority Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
multiplied by the Bank Exchange Rate as calculated pursuant to Section
2.1(a). Such allocation of BANC ONE Common for each CCB Minority
Share held of record at the Effective Time made on the basis of the
Bank Exchange Rate is subject to limitations relative to fractional
shares as set forth in Section 2.1(c) herein and to adjustments
pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of Sections 2.1(e) and 2.1(f).
(c) No certificate for fractional shares of BANC ONE Common will be issued
by BANC ONE in connection with the exchange contemplated by the Bank
Merger, but in lieu thereof, any holder of CCB Minority Shares shall,
upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such
CCB Minority Shares, be paid cash, without interest, by BANC ONE for
such fractional shares on the basis of the BANC ONE Average Price.
(d) At the Effective Time, holders of certificates formerly representing
CCB Minority Shares will tender such certificates to BANC ONE and
subject to the provisions set forth above relating to fractional
shares, BANC ONE, or Bank One, Indianapolis, N.A., as Exchange Agent
for BANC ONE, will distribute to the holders of certificates formerly
representing CCB Minority Shares in exchange for and upon surrender
for cancellation by such holders of a certificate or certificates
formerly representing CCB Minority Shares the certificate(s) for
shares of BANC ONE Common in accordance with the Bank Exchange Rate.
Each certificate formerly representing CCB Minority Shares (other than
certificates representing CCB Minority Shares subject to the rights of
dissenting shareholders) shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence
the ownership of the number of shares of BANC ONE Common and cash for
fractional shares into which such shares have been converted, except,
however, and notwithstanding the foregoing, that, until such surrender
of the certificate or certificates formerly representing CCB Minority
Shares, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to receive any
dividend or other payment or distribution payable to holders of BANC
ONE Common. Upon such surrender (or in lieu of surrender other
provisions reasonably satisfactory to BANC ONE as are made as set
forth in the next following paragraph), there shall be paid to the
person entitled thereto the aggregate amount of dividends or other
payments or distributions (in each case without interest) which became
payable after the Effective Time on the whole shares of BANC ONE
Common represented by the certificates issued upon such surrender and
exchange or in accordance with such other provisions, as the case may
be. After the Effective Time, the holders of certificates formerly
representing CCB Minority Shares shall cease to have rights with
respect to such shares (except such rights, if any, as they may have
as dissenting shareholders), and except as aforesaid, their sole
rights shall be to exchange said certificates for shares of BANC ONE
Common and cash for fractional shares in accordance with this Bank
Merger Agreement.
Certificates representing CCB Minority Shares surrendered for
cancellation by each shareholder entitled to exchange shares of CCB
Minority Shares for shares of BANC ONE Common by reason of the Bank
Merger shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such
appropriate instruments of transfer as BANC ONE may reasonably
require; provided, however, that if there be delivered to BANC ONE by
any person who is unable to produce any such certificate formerly
representing CCB Minority Shares for transfer (i) evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of BANC ONE that any such certificate has been
lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed, (ii) such security or indemnity
as reasonably may be requested by BANC ONE to save it harmless, and
(iii) evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of BANC ONE that such
person is the owner of the shares theretofore represented by each
certificate claimed by him or her to be lost, wrongfully taken or
destroyed and that he or she is the person who would be entitled to
present each such certificate and to receive shares of BANC ONE Common
pursuant to this Bank Merger Agreement, then BANC ONE, in the absence
of actual notice to it that any shares theretofore represented by any
such certificate have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall
deliver to such person the certificate(s) representing shares of BANC
ONE Common which such person would have been entitled to receive upon
surrender of each such lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed certificate
for CCB Minority Shares.
(e) Except for BANC ONE's Stock Split, which has been taken into account
in this Bank Merger Agreement, if prior to the Effective Time BANC ONE
shall declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide,
split up, reclassify or combine its shares of common stock or declare
a dividend or make a distribution on its common stock in any security
convertible into its common stock, appropriate ratable adjustment or
adjustments will be made in the Bank Exchange Rate.
(f) Except for BANC ONE's Stock Split, which has been taken into account
in this Bank Merger Agreement, if prior to the Effective Time BANC ONE
shall declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide,
split up, reclassify or combine its shares of common stock in any
security convertible into its common stock, and the "Ex-Dividend Date"
(as herein defined) established for the shares being so divided or
otherwise diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date" is not established by the
NYSE) or the "Record Date" (as herein deferred) established for the
shares being so divided or otherwise diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date"
is not established by the NYSE, whichever is applicable, is subsequent
to the Valuation Period (as defined in Section 2.1(a) of this Bank
Merger Agreement), appropriate ratable adjustment or adjustments will
be made in the Bank Exchange Rate. The "Ex-Dividend Date" is that
date established by the NYSE for such distribution. The Record Date
is that date established by resolution of the Board of Directors of
the distributing party as the time as of which record ownership of the
distributing securities will entitle the record owner(s) to such
distribution.

have capital stock of $30,482,165 divided into 870,919 shares of common stock,

surplus of CCB will be added to the surplus of BANK ONE UTAH as the surplus of
the Continuing Bank. At the Effective Time, the Continuing Bank shall have
undivided profits, including capital reserves, which when combined with the

and the Effective Time. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of the

1. Merger and the Surviving Corporation.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of , 1993 (the "Merger Agreement") among
CAPITAL, BANC ONE ARIZONA and BANC ONE CORPORATION, an Ohio
corporation ("BANC ONE") and the sole shareholder of BANC ONE ARIZONA,
CAPITAL shall be merged with and into BANC ONE ARIZONA (which shall be

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall be governed by the laws of the State

effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Articles
of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation at and after the
Effective Time.
(d) The By-laws of BANC ONE ARIZONA in effect immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation at
and after the Effective Time, until altered, amended or repealed as
provided therein and in the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation.
(e) The directors of BANC ONE ARIZONA in office immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation at
and after the Effective Time, until the next annual meeting of
shareholders at which their respective successors are elected and
qualified in accordance with the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation.
(f) The officers of BANC ONE ARIZONA in office immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation at
and after the Effective Time, holding the offices in the Surviving
Corporation which they held in BANC ONE ARIZONA immediately prior
thereto, until their successors are elected or appointed in accordance
with the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation and shall have duly
qualified.
2. Conversion of Stock.
(a) At the Effective Time:
(i) Each of the not more than 150,345 shares of CAPITAL Common that
shall be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (excluding any shares held by CAPITAL as treasury
shares) shall thereupon and without further action be converted
into shares of BANC ONE Common at the Exchange Rate which shall
be calculated as set forth in this Section 2(a)(i). CAPITAL's
shareholders of record at the Effective Time for the shares of
CAPITAL Common then held by them, respectively, shall be
allocated and entitled to receive (upon surrender of
certificates representing said shares for cancellation) shares
of BANC ONE Common, which total number of shares of BANC ONE
Common shall have a market value as of the Valuation Period (as
hereinafter defined) equal to the product of (x) the number of
shares of CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding
(not including treasury shares) immediately prior to the
Effective Time, times (y) $100.35 (hereinafter the amount
so-calculated pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i) is referred to as
the "Market Value"), subject, however, to (A) the provisions of
this Section 2(a)(i) with respect to the minimum and maximum
number of shares to be exchanged, (B) the anti-dilution
provisions of Sections 2(e) and 2(f) of this Plan of Merger, and
(C) provisions set forth in Section 2(c) herein relative to
fractional shares.
The term "Valuation Period" shall mean the ten consecutive days
on which shares of BANC ONE Common are traded on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") ending on the sixth NYSE trading day
immediately prior to the proposed Effective Time, as designated
by BANC ONE pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Merger Agreement.
For purposes of establishing the "Exchange Rate," (the number of
shares of BANC ONE Common into which each share of CAPITAL
Common shall be converted at the Effective Time), each share of
BANC ONE Common shall be valued at the average of the daily
closing trade prices of BANC ONE Common on the NYSE during the
Valuation Period as reported in The Wall Street Journal for NYSE
Composite Transactions (the "BANC ONE Average Price"); provided,
however, that for purposes of Section 2 hereof and the
calculations herein required, said BANC ONE Average Price will
be deemed not to be greater than $49.00 nor less than $40.54 per
share. Such BANC ONE Average Price shall then be divided into
the Market Value (as calculated pursuant to this Section
2(a)(i), above) to establish (to the nearest whole share) the
aggregate number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which all of
the then issued and outstanding shares of CAPITAL Common shall
be converted at the Effective Time. Such number of shares of
BANC ONE Common shall then be divided by the number of shares of
CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time with the quotient therefrom, carried
to three decimal places, being the number of shares of BANC ONE
Common into which each share of CAPITAL Common shall be
converted at the Effective Time. In the event the BANC ONE
Average Price is below $40.54, the total number of shares of
BANC ONE Common into which the shares of CAPITAL Common shall be
converted will be the number of BANC ONE Common shares
calculated by multiplying (x) 2.475 times (y) the number of
shares of CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (not including treasury
shares). In the event the BANC ONE Average Price is above the
$49.00, the total number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which
the shares of CAPITAL Common shall be converted will be the
number of BANC ONE Common shares calculated by multiplying (x)
2.048 times (y) the number of shares of CAPITAL Common that
shall be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (not including treasury shares).
The maximum and minimum total number of shares of BANC ONE
Common for which the shares of CAPITAL Common shall be exchanged
shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the
anti-dilution provisions of Section 2(e) of this Plan of
Merger. The Exchange Rate shall be subject to adjustment in
accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of Section 2(f) of
this Plan of Merger.
(ii) The 500 shares of BANC ONE ARIZONA Common issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be
issued and outstanding shares of common stock without par value
of the Surviving Corporation.
(iii) All of the shares of CAPITAL Common held by CAPITAL as treasury
shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
cancelled and shall not represent CAPITAL stock of the Surviving
Corporation and shall not be exchanged for shares of BANC ONE
Common.
(b) CAPITAL's shareholders of record at the Effective Time, for the shares
of CAPITAL Common then held by them, respectively, shall be allocated
and be entitled to receive (upon surrender of certificates formerly
representing shares of CAPITAL Common for cancellation) certificates
for shares of BANC ONE Common as shall be equal to the number of
shares of CAPITAL Common outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Rate.
(c) No certificate for fractional shares of BANC ONE Common will be issued
by BANC ONE in connection with the exchange contemplated by the
Merger, but in lieu thereof, any holder of CAPITAL Common shall, upon
surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such CAPITAL
Common, be paid cash, without interest, by BANC ONE for such
fractional shares on the basis of the BANC ONE Average Price.
(d) Except for the 5 shares for 4 shares stock split declared on BANC ONE
Common by the Board of Directors of BANC ONE on July 20, 1993 and
payable August 31, 1993 to shareholders of record on August 3, 1993,
which stock split has been taken into account in this Plan of Merger,
if prior to the Effective Time BANC ONE or CAPITAL shall declare a
stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide, split up, reclassify
or combine its shares of common stock or declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its common stock in any security convertible into its
common stock, appropriate ratable adjustment or adjustments will be
made in the Exchange Rate.
(e) Except for the 5 shares for 4 shares stock split declared on BANC ONE
Common by the Board of Directors of BANC ONE on July 20, 1993 and
payable August 31, 1993 to shareholders of record on August 3, 1993,
which stock split has been taken into account in this Plan of Merger,
if prior to the consummation of this Merger BANC ONE or CAPITAL shall
declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide, split up,
reclassify or combine its shares of common stock in any security
convertible into its common stock, and the "Ex-Dividend Date" (as
herein defined) established for the shares being so divided or
otherwise diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date" is established by the
NYSE) or the "Record Date" (as herein defined established for the
shares being so divided or otherwise diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date"
is not established by the NYSE), whichever is applicable, is
subsequent to the Valuation Period (as defined in Section 2.1(a) of
this Merger Agreement), appropriate ratable adjustment or adjustments
will be made in the Exchange Rate. The "Ex-Dividend Date" is that
date established by the NYSE for such distribution. The Record Date
is that date established by resolution of the Board of Directors of
the distributing party as the time as of which record ownership of the
distributing securities will entitle the record owner(s) to such
distribution.
3. Dissenting Shares. Shareholders of CAPITAL Common who do not vote their
shares of CAPITAL Common in favor of the Merger and otherwise perfect
applicable dissenters' rights and shareholders of CAPITAL Preferred who
perfect applicable dissenters' rights will be entitled to dissenters or
appraisal rights, if any, pursuant to applicable provisions of the Utah BCA.
4. Surrender of Certificates.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, BANC ONE shall appoint Bank One,
Indianapolis, N.A. to act as exchange agent in respect of the Merger
(said bank, in its capacity as such exchange agent, being hereinafter
called the "Exchange Agent").
(b) Promptly following the Effective Time, BANC ONE shall provide to
Exchange Agent shares of BANC ONE Common and funds necessary to pay
for the shares of CAPITAL Common pursuant to Section 2.
(c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and subject to the
provisions of Section 2 relating to fractional shares, BANC ONE, or
Bank One, Indianapolis, N.A., as Exchange Agent for BANC ONE, will
distribute to the former holders of CAPITAL Common, in exchange for
and upon surrender for cancellation by such holders of a certificate
or certificates formerly representing shares of CAPITAL Common, the
certificate(s) for shares of BANC ONE Common in accordance with the
Common Exchange Rate. Each certificate formerly representing CAPITAL
Common (other than certificates representing shares of CAPITAL Common
subject to the rights of dissenting shareholders) shall be deemed for
all purposes to evidence the ownership of the number of shares of BANC
ONE Common and cash for fractional shares into which such shares have
been converted, except, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing,
that, until such surrender of the certificate or certificates formerly
representing shares of CAPITAL Common, the holder thereof shall not be
entitled to receive any dividend or other payment or distribution
payable to holders of BANC ONE Common. Upon such surrender (or in
lieu of surrender other provisions reasonably satisfactory to BANC ONE
as are made as set forth in the next following paragraph), there shall
be paid to the person entitled thereto the aggregate amount of
dividends or other payments or distributions (in each case without
interest) which became payable after the Effective Time on the whole
shares of BANC ONE Common represented by the certificates issued upon
such surrender and exchange or in accordance with such other
provisions, as the case may be. After the Effective Time, the holders
of certificates formerly representing shares of CAPITAL Common shall
cease to have rights with respect to such shares (except such rights,
if any, as they may have as dissenting shareholders), and except as
aforesaid, their sole rights shall be to exchange said certificates
for shares of BANC ONE Common and cash for fractional shares in
accordance with this Merger Agreement.
Certificates representing shares of CAPITAL Common surrendered for
cancellation by each shareholder entitled to exchange shares of
CAPITAL Common for shares of BANC ONE Common by reason of the Merger
shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such appropriate
instruments of transfer as BANC ONE may reasonably require; provided,
however, that if there be delivered to BANC ONE by any person who is
unable to produce any such certificate formerly representing shares of
CAPITAL Common for transfer (i) evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of BANC ONE that any such certificate has been lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed, (ii) such security or indemnity as
reasonably may be requested by BANC ONE to save it harmless, and (iii)
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of BANC ONE that such person
is the owner of the shares theretofore represented by each certificate
claimed by him or her to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and
that he or she is the person who would be entitled to present each
such certificate and to receive shares of BANC ONE Common pursuant to
this Merger Agreement, then BANC ONE, in the absence of actual notice
to it that any shares theretofore represented by any such certificate
have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall deliver to such
person the certificate(s) representing shares of BANC ONE Common which
such person would have been entitled to receive upon surrender of each
such lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed certificate of CAPITAL Common.

Bank ("CCB") with and into Bank One, Utah, National Association, and in view of
the fact that the undersigned has, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, been
identified as a possible "affiliate" of CAPITAL and/or CCB within the meaning
of Rules 144 and 145 ("Rule 144" and "Rule 145," respectively), as amended, of
the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933 Act"), the undersigned (the "Affiliate") represents and undertakes
as follows:
The Affiliate shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of or transfer any of
the shares of the Common Stock of BANC ONE to be received by him upon
consummation of the Merger, including shares of BANC ONE Common Stock acquired
by the Affiliate within the two year period following the Merger as a result of
the Affiliate's exercise of options on BANC ONE Common Stock acquired in
substitution for unexercised options on CAPITAL common stock, (the "Shares"),
except the Affiliate may offer, sell or transfer the Shares (1) in a manner and
to the extent permitted by the applicable provisions of Rule 145, (2) pursuant
to an effective registration statement relating to the Shares under the 1933
Act, or (3) in a transaction which, in the opinion of counsel for the Affiliate
or as described in a "no-action" or interpretive letter from the staff of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, in each case reasonably satisfactory in
form and substance to BANC ONE, is exempt from the registration requirements of
the 1933 Act.
BANC ONE's transfer agents may be given appropriate instructions prohibiting
transfer of the Shares unless these provisions are complied with and the
certificate(s) for the Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially
the following form:
The shares represented by this certificate have been issued to the
registered holder as a result of a transaction to which Rule 145 under the

The undersigned undertakes to take such action as shall be necessary to cause
the Shares to be received by the undersigned to be registered in a manner that
will allow for the placement of a restrictive legend on the certificate(s)
representing such Shares.
The undersigned further undertakes that, if it is necessary in order to
preserve pooling-of-interests accounting treatment, none of the Shares to be
received by the undersigned, directly or indirectly, will be sold or otherwise
disposed of during a period of time beginning with the effective date of the
Merger and ending with a date upon which financial results of at least 30 days

foregoing restrictions on the resale of BANC ONE Common Stock received by them
pursuant to the Merger, which persons include (i) any of my relatives or my
spouse, or any relative of my spouse, who has the same home as me; (ii) any

of such persons that they are, or may be, subject to the provisions of said
Rules 144 and 145, and I hereby represent that I will use my best efforts to
ensure that such persons comply with the provisions of this letter and Rules
144 and 145, as applicable, upon the resale of any Common Stock of BANC ONE.

dated , 1993 (the "Bank Merger Agreement") between CCB and BANK
ONE UTAH. This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 19(c) of the
Merger Agreement.
Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used in this Opinion
Letter are defined in the Merger Agreement and/or Bank Merger Agreement or the
Legal Opinion Accord (the "Accord") of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991),
respectively. In the event of any inconsistency between the definition of any
such term in the Merger Agreement and/or the Bank Merger Agreement and the
Accord, the definition set forth in the Accord shall govern.
This Opinion Letter is governed by, and is to be interpreted in accordance
with, the Accord. As a consequence, it is subject to a number of
qualifications, exceptions, definitions, limitations on coverage, and other
limitations, all as more particularly described in the Accord, and this Opinion
Letter should be read in conjunction therewith.
The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited solely to the laws
of the State of Ohio, except as it relates to the status of BANC ONE ARIZONA
under Arizona law, the status of BANK ONE UTAH under Utah law and the Federal
Law of the United States generally.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Merger Agreement is enforceable against BANC ONE.
2. The Merger Agreement is enforceable against BANC ONE ARIZONA.
3. The Bank Merger Agreement is enforceable against BANK ONE UTAH.
4. Except as set forth in the BANC ONE Disclosure Letter, the execution and
delivery by BANC ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA of, and the performance by BANC
ONE and BANC ONE ARIZONA of their agreements in, the Merger Agreement and
the execution and delivery by BANK ONE UTAH and the performance by BANK ONE
UTAH of its agreements in the Bank Merger Agreement, do not (a) violate the
respective Constituent Documents of BANC ONE, BANC ONE ARIZONA and BANK ONE
UTAH; (b) violate applicable provisions of statutory law or regulation; (c)
breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of BANC ONE, BANC ONE
ARIZONA or BANK ONE UTAH under any Court Orders of which I am aware; or (d)
breach, or result in a default under, any obligation of BANC ONE, BANC ONE
ARIZONA, or BANK ONE UTAH under an Other Agreement of which I am aware.
5. Insofar as I am aware, the conditions to obligations of CAPITAL as set
forth in the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived by CAPITAL and
the representations and warranties of BANC ONE as set forth in the Merger
Agreement were true as of the date of the Merger Agreement and are, to the
extent required by Section 19(b) of the Merger Agreement, true as of the
date hereof.
6. I hereby confirm to you, pursuant to the requirements of Section 13(e) of
the Merger Agreement, that there are no actions or proceedings against BANC
ONE or any of its subsidiaries, pending or overtly threatened in writing,
before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which (i) seek to
affect the enforceability of the Merger Agreement or (ii) come within the
objective standard established in the Merger Agreement for disclosure,
except as set forth in the BANC ONE Disclosure Letter.
7. I have participated in the preparation of the Registration Statement on
Form S-4 or other appropriate registration statement form (No.
) of BANC ONE ("Registration Statement"), and in rendering this
opinion have limited my review of the facts concerning the Registration
Statement to discussions with and inquiry of Directors, officers and
employees of BANC ONE, and Coopers & Lybrand, the independent accountants
who examined certain of the financial statements of BANC ONE included in
the Registration Statement, and based thereon and subject to the General
Qualifications, I am of the opinion that such Registration Statement, and
the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement (except as to
financial statements, other financial data and any information concerning
CAPITAL included therein, as to which I express no opinion) at the time the
Registration Statement became effective under the Securities Act of 1933
(the "1933 Act") complied as to form in all material respects with the 1933
Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder.
8. I confirm that the Registration Statement has become effective under the
1933 Act, and to the best of my Actual Knowledge, no stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or
contemplated under the 1933 Act.
9. I have not checked the accuracy or completeness of, or otherwise verified,
any statement of fact contained in the Registration Statement and
Prospectus. Based on the participations, discussions and inquiries
described above, however, I have no reason to believe that the Registration
Statement (except as to financial statements, other financial data and any
information concerning CAPITAL included therein, as to which no view is
expressed) at the time it became effective and as of the date of this
letter contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus
(except as to financial statements, other financial data and any
information concerning CAPITAL included therein, as to which no view is
expressed) at such times contained any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading or that since the effective date of the Registration
Statement, any event has occurred which should have been set forth in an
amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
which has not been set forth in such an amendment or supplement.
The General Qualifications apply to all of the opinions set forth above.
I am rendering this opinion solely for the benefit of CAPITAL in connection
with the transactions described in the Merger Agreement. It may not be relied
upon by any other person or for any other person.
Very truly yours,

be allocated and entitled to receive (upon surrender of
certificates representing said shares for cancellation) shares of
BANC ONE Common, which total number of shares of BANC ONE Common

Market Value (as calculated pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii),
above) to establish (to the nearest whole share) the aggregate
number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which all of the then
issued and outstanding CCB Minority Shares shall be converted at
the Effective Time. Such number of shares of BANC ONE Common
shall then be divided by the number of CCB Minority Shares issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with the
quotient therefrom, carried to three decimal places, being the
number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which each such CCB
Minority Share shall be converted at the Effective Time. In the
event the BANC ONE Average Price is below $40.54, the total number
of shares of BANC ONE Common into which the CCB Minority Shares
shall be converted will be the number of BANC ONE Common shares
calculated by multiplying (x) 3.092 times (y) the number of CCB
Minority Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time. In the event the BANC ONE Average Price is above
the $49.00, the total number of shares of BANC ONE Common into
which such CCB Minority Shares shall be converted will be the
number of BANC ONE Common shares calculated by multiplying (x)
2.558 times (y) the number of CCB Minority Shares that shall be
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
(not including treasury shares).
The maximum and minimum total number of shares of BANC ONE Common
for which all of the CCB Minority Shares shall be exchanged shall
be subject to adjustment in accordance with the anti-dilution
provisions of Section 2.1(e) of this Merger Agreement. The Bank
Exchange Rate shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with
the anti-dilution provisions of Section 2.1(f) of this Merger
Agreement. In no event, however, will more than 80,389 shares of
BANC ONE Common be exchanged for all the shares of CCB Common held
by Minority Shareholders.
(b) At the Effective Time, stock issued by reason of the Bank Merger shall
be allocated to the Minority Shareholders as of the Effective Time with
such shares of BANC ONE Common to be equal to the number of CCB Minority
Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by
the Bank Exchange Rate as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Such
allocation of BANC ONE Common for each CCB Minority Share held of record
at the Effective Time made on the basis of the Bank Exchange Rate is
subject to limitations relative to fractional shares as set forth in
Section 2.1(c) herein and to adjustments pursuant to the anti-dilution
provisions of Sections 2.1(e) and 2.1(f).
(c) No certificate for fractional shares of BANC ONE Common will be issued
by BANC ONE in connection with the exchange contemplated by the Bank
Merger, but in lieu thereof, any holder of CCB Minority Shares shall,
upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such CCB
Minority Shares, be paid cash, without interest, by BANC ONE for such
fractional shares on the basis of the BANC ONE Average Price.
(d) At the Effective Time, holders of certificates formerly representing
CCB Minority Shares will tender such certificates to BANC ONE and
subject to the provisions set forth above relating to fractional shares,
BANC ONE, or Bank One, Indianapolis, N.A., as Exchange Agent for BANC
ONE, will distribute to the holders of certificates formerly
representing CCB Minority Shares in exchange for and upon surrender for
cancellation by such holders of a certificate or certificates formerly
representing CCB Minority Shares the certificate(s) for shares of BANC
ONE Common in accordance with the Bank Exchange Rate. Each certificate
formerly representing CCB Minority Shares (other than certificates
representing CCB Minority Shares subject to the rights of dissenting
shareholders) shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence the ownership
of the number of shares of BANC ONE Common and cash for fractional
shares into which such shares have been converted, except, however, and
notwithstanding the foregoing, that, until such surrender of the
certificate or certificates formerly representing CCB Minority Shares,
the holder thereof shall not be entitled to receive any dividend or
other payment or distribution payable to holders of BANC ONE Common.
Upon such surrender (or in lieu of surrender other provisions reasonably
satisfactory to BANC ONE as are made as set forth in the next following
paragraph), there shall be paid to the person entitled thereto the
aggregate amount of dividends or other payments or distributions (in
each case without interest) which became payable after the Effective
Time on the whole shares of BANC ONE Common represented by the
certificates issued upon such surrender and exchange or in accordance
with such other provisions, as the case may be. After the Effective
Time, the holders of certificates formerly representing CCB Minority
Shares shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares (except
such rights, if any, as they may have as dissenting shareholders), and
except as aforesaid, their sole rights shall be to exchange said
certificates for shares of BANC ONE Common and cash for fractional
shares in accordance with this Bank Merger Agreement.
Certificates representing CCB Minority Shares surrendered for
cancellation by each shareholder entitled to exchange shares of CCB
Minority Shares for shares of BANC ONE Common by reason of the Bank
Merger shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such
appropriate instruments of transfer as BANC ONE may reasonably require;
provided, however, that if there be delivered to BANC ONE by any person
who is unable to produce any such certificate formerly representing CCB
Minority Shares for transfer (i) evidence to the reasonable satisfaction
of BANC ONE that any such certificate has been lost, wrongfully taken or
destroyed, (ii) such security or indemnity as reasonably may be
requested by BANC ONE to save it harmless, and (iii) evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of BANC ONE that such person is the owner of the
shares theretofore represented by each certificate claimed by him or her
to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and that he or she is the
person who would be entitled to present each such certificate and to
receive shares of BANC ONE Common pursuant to this Bank Merger
Agreement, then BANC ONE, in the absence of actual notice to it that any
shares theretofore represented by any such certificate have been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall deliver to such person the
certificate(s) representing shares of BANC ONE Common which such person
would have been entitled to receive upon surrender of each such lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed certificate for CCB Minority Shares.
(e) Except for BANC ONE's Stock Split, which has been taken into account in
this Bank Merger Agreement, if prior to the Effective Time BANC ONE
shall declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide, split
up, reclassify or combine its shares of common stock or declare a
dividend or make a distribution on its common stock in any security
convertible into its common stock, appropriate ratable adjustment or
adjustments will be made in the Bank Exchange Rate.
(f) Except for BANC ONE's Stock Split, which has been taken into account in
this Bank Merger Agreement, if prior to the Effective Time BANC ONE
shall declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide, split
up, reclassify or combine its shares of common stock in any security
convertible into its common stock, and the "Ex-Dividend Date" (as herein
defined) established for the shares being so divided or otherwise
diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date" is not established by the NYSE) or the
"Record Date" (as herein deferred) established for the shares being so
divided or otherwise diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date" is not
established by the NYSE, whichever is applicable, is subsequent to the
Valuation Period (as defined in Section 2.1(a) of this Bank Merger
Agreement), appropriate ratable adjustment or adjustments will be made
in the Bank Exchange Rate. The "Ex-Dividend Date" is that date
established by the NYSE for such distribution. The Record Date is that
date established by resolution of the Board of Directors of the
distributing party as the time as of which record ownership of the
distributing securities will entitle the record owner(s) to such
distribution.
SECTION 2.2. CAPITALIZATION OF THE CONTINUING BANK. The Continuing Bank shall
have capital stock of $30,482,165 divided into 870,919 shares of common stock,
each of $35 par value. Following the Bank Merger, all of the capital and
surplus of CCB will be added to the surplus of BANK ONE UTAH as the surplus of
the Continuing Bank. At the Effective Time, the Continuing Bank shall have
undivided profits, including capital reserves, which when combined with the
capital and surplus will be equal to the combined capital structures of BANK
ONE UTAH and CCB as set forth in the preamble of this Agreement, adjusted,
however, for normal earnings and expenses between the date of this Agreement
and the Effective Time. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of the
Continuing Bank as set forth in Schedule 1, annexed hereto, BANK ONE UTAH will
have authorized capital stock of 870,919 shares of common stock.

Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation at
and after the Effective Time, holding the offices in the Surviving
Corporation which they held in BANC ONE ARIZONA immediately prior
thereto, until their successors are elected or appointed in accordance
with the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation and shall have duly

2. Conversion of Stock.
(a) At the Effective Time:
(i) Each of the not more than 150,345 shares of CAPITAL Common that
shall be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (excluding any shares held by CAPITAL as treasury
shares) shall thereupon and without further action be converted
into shares of BANC ONE Common at the Exchange Rate which shall
be calculated as set forth in this Section 2(a)(i). CAPITAL's
shareholders of record at the Effective Time for the shares of
CAPITAL Common then held by them, respectively, shall be
allocated and entitled to receive (upon surrender of
certificates representing said shares for cancellation) shares
of BANC ONE Common, which total number of shares of BANC ONE
Common shall have a market value as of the Valuation Period (as
hereinafter defined) equal to the product of (x) the number of
shares of CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding
(not including treasury shares) immediately prior to the
Effective Time, times (y) $95.33 (hereinafter the amount
so-calculated pursuant to this Section 2(a)(i) is referred to as
the "Market Value"), subject, however, to (A) the provisions of
this Section 2(a)(i) with respect to the minimum and maximum
number of shares to be exchanged, (B) the anti-dilution
provisions of Sections 2(e) and 2(f) of this Plan of Merger, and
(C) provisions set forth in Section 2(c) herein relative to
fractional shares.
The term "Valuation Period" shall mean the ten consecutive days
on which shares of BANC ONE Common are traded on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") ending on the sixth NYSE trading day
immediately prior to the proposed Effective Time, as designated
by BANC ONE pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Merger Agreement.
For purposes of establishing the "Exchange Rate," (the number of
shares of BANC ONE Common into which each share of CAPITAL
Common shall be converted at the Effective Time), each share of
BANC ONE Common shall be valued at the average of the daily
closing trade prices of BANC ONE Common on the NYSE during the
Valuation Period as reported in The Wall Street Journal for NYSE
Composite Transactions (the "BANC ONE Average Price"); provided,
however, that for purposes of Section 2 hereof and the
calculations herein required, said BANC ONE Average Price will
be deemed not to be greater than $49.00 nor less than $40.54 per
share. Such BANC ONE Average Price shall then be divided into
the Market Value (as calculated pursuant to this Section
2(a)(i), above) to establish (to the nearest whole share) the
aggregate number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which all of
the then issued and outstanding shares of CAPITAL Common shall
be converted at the Effective Time. Such number of shares of
BANC ONE Common shall then be divided by the number of shares of
CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time with the quotient therefrom, carried
to three decimal places, being the number of shares of BANC ONE
Common into which each share of CAPITAL Common shall be
converted at the Effective Time. In the event the BANC ONE
Average Price is below $40.54, the total number of shares of
BANC ONE Common into which the shares of CAPITAL Common shall be
converted will be the number of BANC ONE Common shares
calculated by multiplying (x) 2.351 times (y) the number of
shares of CAPITAL Common that shall be issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time (not including treasury
shares). In the event the BANC ONE Average Price is above the
$49.00, the total number of shares of BANC ONE Common into which
the shares of CAPITAL Common shall be converted will be the
number of BANC ONE Common shares calculated by multiplying (x)
1.946 times (y) the number of shares of CAPITAL Common that
shall be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (not including treasury shares).
The maximum and minimum total number of shares of BANC ONE
Common for which the shares of CAPITAL Common shall be exchanged
shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with the
anti-dilution provisions of Section 2(e) of this Plan of
Merger. The Exchange Rate shall be subject to adjustment in
accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of Section 2(f) of
this Plan of Merger.
(ii) The 500 shares of BANC ONE ARIZONA Common issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be
issued and outstanding shares of common stock without par value
of the Surviving Corporation.
(iii) All of the shares of CAPITAL Common held by CAPITAL as treasury
shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
cancelled and shall not represent CAPITAL stock of the Surviving
Corporation and shall not be exchanged for shares of BANC ONE
Common.
(b) CAPITAL's shareholders of record at the Effective Time, for the shares
of CAPITAL Common then held by them, respectively, shall be allocated
and be entitled to receive (upon surrender of certificates formerly
representing shares of CAPITAL Common for cancellation) certificates
for shares of BANC ONE Common as shall be equal to the number of
shares of CAPITAL Common outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Rate.
(c) No certificate for fractional shares of BANC ONE Common will be issued
by BANC ONE in connection with the exchange contemplated by the
Merger, but in lieu thereof, any holder of CAPITAL Common shall, upon
surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such CAPITAL
Common, be paid cash, without interest, by BANC ONE for such
fractional shares on the basis of the BANC ONE Average Price.
(d) Except for the 5 shares for 4 shares stock split declared on BANC ONE
Common by the Board of Directors of BANC ONE on July 20, 1993 and
payable August 31, 1993 to shareholders of record on August 3, 1993,
which stock split has been taken into account in this Plan of Merger,
if prior to the Effective Time BANC ONE or CAPITAL shall declare a
stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide, split up, reclassify
or combine its shares of common stock or declare a dividend or make a
distribution on its common stock in any security convertible into its
common stock, appropriate ratable adjustment or adjustments will be
made in the Exchange Rate.
(e) Except for the 5 shares for 4 shares stock split declared on BANC ONE
Common by the Board of Directors of BANC ONE on July 20, 1993 and
payable August 31, 1993 to shareholders of record on August 3, 1993,
which stock split has been taken into account in this Plan of Merger,
if prior to the consummation of this Merger BANC ONE or CAPITAL shall
declare a stock dividend or distribution upon or subdivide, split up,
reclassify or combine its shares of common stock in any security
convertible into its common stock, and the "Ex-Dividend Date" (as
herein defined) established for the shares being so divided or
otherwise diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date" is established by the
NYSE) or the "Record Date" (as herein defined established for the
shares being so divided or otherwise diluted (if an "Ex-Dividend Date"
is not established by the NYSE), whichever is applicable, is
subsequent to the Valuation Period (as defined in Section 2.1(a) of
this Merger Agreement), appropriate ratable adjustment or adjustments
will be made in the Exchange Rate. The "Ex-Dividend Date" is that
date established by the NYSE for such distribution. The Record Date
is that date established by resolution of the Board of Directors of
the distributing party as the time as of which record ownership of the
distributing securities will entitle the record owner(s) to such
distribution.
3. Dissenting Shares. Shareholders of CAPITAL Common who do not vote their
shares of CAPITAL Common in favor of the Merger and otherwise perfect
applicable dissenters' rights and shareholders of CAPITAL Preferred who
perfect applicable dissenters' rights will be entitled to dissenters or
appraisal rights, if any, pursuant to applicable provisions of the Utah BCA.
4. Surrender of Certificates.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, BANC ONE shall appoint Bank One,
Indianapolis, N.A. to act as exchange agent in respect of the Merger
(said bank, in its capacity as such exchange agent, being hereinafter
called the "Exchange Agent").
(b) Promptly following the Effective Time, BANC ONE shall provide to
Exchange Agent shares of BANC ONE Common and funds necessary to pay
for the shares of CAPITAL Common pursuant to Section 2.
(c) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and subject to the
provisions of Section 2 relating to fractional shares, BANC ONE, or
Bank One, Indianapolis, N.A., as Exchange Agent for BANC ONE, will
distribute to the former holders of CAPITAL Common, in exchange for
and upon surrender for cancellation by such holders of a certificate
or certificates formerly representing shares of CAPITAL Common, the
certificate(s) for shares of BANC ONE Common in accordance with the
Common Exchange Rate. Each certificate formerly representing CAPITAL
Common (other than certificates representing shares of CAPITAL Common
subject to the rights of dissenting shareholders) shall be deemed for
all purposes to evidence the ownership of the number of shares of BANC
ONE Common and cash for fractional shares into which such shares have
been converted, except, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing,
that, until such surrender of the certificate or certificates formerly
representing shares of CAPITAL Common, the holder thereof shall not be
entitled to receive any dividend or other payment or distribution
payable to holders of BANC ONE Common. Upon such surrender (or in
lieu of surrender other provisions reasonably satisfactory to BANC ONE
as are made as set forth in the next following paragraph), there shall
be paid to the person entitled thereto the aggregate amount of
dividends or other payments or distributions (in each case without
interest) which became payable after the Effective Time on the whole
shares of BANC ONE Common represented by the certificates issued upon
such surrender and exchange or in accordance with such other
provisions, as the case may be. After the Effective Time, the holders
of certificates formerly representing shares of CAPITAL Common shall
cease to have rights with respect to such shares (except such rights,
if any, as they may have as dissenting shareholders), and except as
aforesaid, their sole rights shall be to exchange said certificates
for shares of BANC ONE Common and cash for fractional shares in
accordance with this Merger Agreement.
Certificates representing shares of CAPITAL Common surrendered for
cancellation by each shareholder entitled to exchange shares of
CAPITAL Common for shares of BANC ONE Common by reason of the Merger
shall be appropriately endorsed or accompanied by such appropriate
instruments of transfer as BANC ONE may reasonably require; provided,
however, that if there be delivered to BANC ONE by any person who is
unable to produce any such certificate formerly representing shares of
CAPITAL Common for transfer (i) evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of BANC ONE that any such certificate has been lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed, (ii) such security or indemnity as
reasonably may be requested by BANC ONE to save it harmless, and (iii)
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of BANC ONE that such person
is the owner of the shares theretofore represented by each certificate
claimed by him or her to be lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed and
that he or she is the person who would be entitled to present each
such certificate and to receive shares of BANC ONE Common pursuant to
this Merger Agreement, then BANC ONE, in the absence of actual notice
to it that any shares theretofore represented by any such certificate
have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall deliver to such
person the certificate(s) representing shares of BANC ONE Common which
such person would have been entitled to receive upon surrender of each
such lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed certificate of CAPITAL Common.

1. Proposal to approve and adopt an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
September 17, 1993 by and between CAPITAL and Banc One Arizona Corporation
("Banc One Arizona") and joined in by BANC ONE CORPORATION ("BANC ONE") and
providing for the merger of CAPITAL with and into Banc One Arizona, as
subsidiary of BANC ONE, pursuant to which each share of CAPITAL Common

shareholder who properly demands and preserves dissenters' rights) will be
converted into shares of BANC ONE Common Stock as follows:
If the average price of BANC ONE Common is not less than $36.85 nor
greater than $44.55 during the Valuation Period (as defined below),
each share of CAPITAL Common will be converted into an amount of BANC
ONE Common having a market value of $95.33 during the Valuation

days on which shares of BANC ONE Common are traded on the New York
Stock Exchange ("NYSE") as reported in The Wall Street Journal for
NYSE composite transactions ending on the sixth NYSE trading day
immediately prior to the Merger.

Re: BANC ONE CORPORATION Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Capital Bancorp)
Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel to BANC ONE CORPORATION ("BANC ONE") in connection with
the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by BANC ONE with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. The Registration Statement relates to the issuance of up to 433,850
shares of common stock, no par value, of BANC ONE (the "Shares") to (a) the
shareholders of Capital Bancorp ("CAPITAL") in connection with the merger (the
"Merger") of CAPITAL with and into Banc One Arizona Corporation ("Banc One
Arizona"), a wholly owned subsidiary of BANC ONE, pursuant to the terms of an
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 17, 1993, by and among CAPITAL,
BANC ONE and Banc One Arizona (the "Merger Agreement") and (b) the shareholders
(other than Capital) of Capital City Bank ("CCB") in connection with the merger
(the "Bank Merger") of CCB with and into Bank One, Utah, N.A. ("Bank One
Utah"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Banc One Arizona, pursuant to the terms of
a Bank Merger Agreement dated December 14, 1993 between CCB and Bank One Utah
(the "Bank Merger Agreement").
In this connection, I have examined such corporate records and other documents
and certificates of public officials as I have deemed necessary in order to
render the opinion set forth below.
Based upon the foregoing, it is my opinion that upon the satisfaction of
certain conditions provided for in the Merger Agreement and Bank Merger
Agreement, the Shares, when issued and delivered pursuant to the provisions of
the Merger Agreement and Bank Merger Agreement and upon consummation of the
Merger and Bank Merger, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion as to certain federal income tax consequences
resulting from the merger of Capital Bancorp ("Capital") with and into Banc One
Arizona Corporation ("Banc One Arizona") as set forth and more fully described
in the Agreement and Plan of Merger between Capital and Banc One Arizona and
joined in by Banc One CORPORATION ("Banc One"), dated September 17, 1993, as
amended (the "Agreement") including exhibits attached thereto.
We have acted as special counsel to Capital with respect to the merger of
Capital into Banc One Arizona (the "Holding Company Merger"). In this
capacity, we have examined the Agreement and the Registration Statement (Form
S-4) pursuant to which Banc One is issuing additional shares of its common
stock, without par value, to the stockholders of Capital pursuant to the merger
of Capital with and into Banc One Arizona. All capitalized terms used herein
shall, except where the context indicates otherwise, be deemed to have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Registration Statement and the Agreement.
In reaching our opinion, we have relied on certain representations made by the
management of Banc One, Banc One Arizona, and Capital Bancorp, including the
representations and warranties and undertakings in the Agreement, and have
examined such documents, records and other instruments as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate, including, without limitations, the Registration
Statement and the Agreement. We have assumed that Banc One has previously been
and will be in the future maintained and operated in conformance with the laws
of the State of Ohio and the terms of the aforementioned documents. We have
also assumed that Banc One Arizona has previously been and will be in the
future maintained and operated in conformance with the laws of the State of
Arizona and the terms of the aforementioned documents.
Banc One is a registered bank holding company organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Ohio. Banc One has authorized capital stock consisting of
635,000,000 shares consisting of 600,000,000 shares of common stock without par
value ("Banc One Common Stock") of which 341,965,620 shares were issued and
outstanding at September 17, 1993 and 35,000,000 shares of preferred stock of
which 5,000,000 were issued and outstanding as of such date. Up to 4,405,854
shares of Banc One Common Stock are subject to options. It is anticipated that
not more than approximately 353,461 shares of Banc One Common Stock will be
issued pursuant to the Holding Company Merger. In addition, it is anticipated
that not more than approximately 80,389 shares of Banc One Common Stock will be
issued in connection with the Merger of Capital City Bank with and into Bank
One, Utah, N.A. (the "Bank Merger").
Capital is a bank holding company duly organized and existing under the laws of
the State of Utah and has authorized capital stock consisting of 200,000 shares
of common stock, par value $10.00 per share ("Capital Common Stock"), of which
150,345 shares are issued and outstanding and 2,805 of which are shares of
treasury stock owned by Capital.
Banc One Arizona is an Arizona corporation duly organized and existing under
the laws of the State of Arizona. Banc One owns 100% of the outstanding shares
of stock of Banc One Arizona.
Other than noted above, there are no outstanding securities or obligations
which are convertible into shares of stock or options, warrants, rights, calls
or any other commitments of any nature relating to the unissued shares of Banc
One, Capital, or Banc One Arizona.
Pursuant to the Agreement at the Effective Date of the Merger, the following
transactions will be consummated:
1. Capital shall merge with and into Banc One Arizona whereby each share of
$10.00 par value Capital Common Stock issued and outstanding, other than
shares whose holders have perfected their rights to dissent from the
Merger, shall be converted into and exchanged for up to 353,461 shares of
newly issued Banc One Common Stock without par value. Banc One Arizona
shall survive the Merger and the former stockholders of Capital shall
become stockholders of Banc One. No fractional shares of Banc One Common
Stock shall be issued. The former Capital stockholders entitled to
fractional shares of Banc One Common Stock shall be paid cash by Banc One
for such fractional shares, the value of which shall be computed by
multiplying the fraction thereof by the "Average Price" of Banc One Common
Stock. The "Banc One Average Price" is the average of the daily market
price of Banc One Common Stock during a ten (10) day period preceding the
Effective Time of the Merger as set forth in Section 7(a) of the Agreement.
2. The Merger is subject to various conditions including, among others,
approval by a majority of the stockholders of Capital at the Capital
Special Meeting and approval by all applicable regulatory authorities.
This opinion is conditioned on the following assumptions and representations
being made by the management of Banc One, Banc One Arizona and Capital in
connection with the Merger transaction at or before closing:
1. The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to and in accordance with the
Agreement.
2. The fair market value of newly issued Banc One Common Stock without par
value to be received by Capital stockholders will be, in each instance,
approximately equal to the fair market value of the Capital Common Stock to
be surrendered in exchange therefor.
3. After consummation of the Merger transaction, Banc One Arizona will
continue its historical business in a substantially unchanged manner.
4. The management of Capital knows of no plan or intention by the stockholders
of Capital who own 5% or more of the Capital Common Stock or on the part of
the remaining stockholders of Capital to sell or otherwise dispose of a
number of shares of Banc One Common Stock to be received in the Merger
transaction that would reduce the Capital stockholders' ownership of Banc
One Common Stock to a number of shares having a value as of the date of the
Merger, of less than fifty (50) percent of the value of the formerly
outstanding Capital Common Stock as of the same date. For purposes of this
representation, shares of Capital Common Stock exchanged for cash or other
property, surrendered by dissenters or exchanged for cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Banc One Common Stock will be treated as outstanding
Capital Common Stock on the date of the transaction. Moreover, shares of
Capital Common Stock and shares of Banc One Common Stock held by Capital
stockholders and otherwise sold, redeemed, or disposed of prior or
subsequent to the merger transaction will be considered in making this
representation.
5. Banc One Arizona will acquire at least 90% of the fair market value of the
net assets and at least 70% of the fair market value of the gross assets
held by Capital immediately prior to the Effective Date of the Merger. For
purposes of this representation, amounts paid by Capital to dissenters,
amounts paid by Capital to stockholders who receive cash or other property,
Capital assets used to pay its reorganization expenses, and all redemptions
and other distributions (except for regular, normal dividends) made by
Capital immediately preceding the transfer, will be included as assets of
Capital held immediately prior to the transaction.
6. Prior to the transaction, Banc One will be in control of Banc One Arizona
within the meaning of Section 268(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
7. Following the transaction, Banc One Arizona will not issue additional
shares of its stock that would result in Banc One losing control of Banc
One Arizona within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code.
8. Banc One has no plan or intention to reacquire any of its stock issued in
this transaction.
9. Banc One has no plan or intention to liquidate Banc One Arizona, to merge
Banc One Arizona with and into another corporation, to sell or otherwise
dispose of the stock of Banc One Arizona or to cause Banc One Arizona to
sell or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of Capital acquired in the
transaction, except for dispositions made in the ordinary course of
business or transfers described in Section 368(a)(2)(c) of the Code.
10. The liabilities of Capital assumed by Banc One Arizona and the liabilities
to which the transferred assets of Capital are subject were incurred by
Capital in the ordinary course of its business.
11. Following the transaction, Banc One Arizona will continue the historic
business of Capital or use a significant portion of Capital's historical
business assets in its business.
12. Each Party to the Agreement will pay its own expenses incurred in
connection with the Merger including the cost of soliciting proxies for the
Capital Special Meeting. Printing costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the associated Banc One
Registration Statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission of which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus forms a part will be
paid by Banc One and/or Banc One Arizona.
If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, except if one Party
breaches the agreement, Banc One and Capital each agree to pay the expenses
arising from the negotiation and preparation of, and filings and
solicitations with respect to the Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by such Agreement as follows: Each party will pay its own
expenses, except that Banc One will pay the costs of printing the proxy
material.
13. There is no intercorporate indebtedness existing between Banc One and
Capital or between Banc One Arizona and Capital that was issued, acquired,
or will be settled at a discount.
14. No two parties to the transaction are investment companies as defined in
Section 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.
15. Capital, Banc One or Banc One Arizona is not under the jurisdiction of a
court in a Title 11 or similar case within the meaning of Section
368(a)(3)(A) of the Code.
16. The fair market value of the assets of Capital transferred to Banc One
Arizona will equal or exceed the sum of the liabilities assumed by Banc One
Arizona, plus the amount of liabilities, if any, to which the transferred
assets are subject.
17. No stock of Banc One Arizona will be issued in the transaction.
18. None of the compensation received by any stockholder-employee of Capital
will be separate consideration for, or allocable to, any of their shares of
Capital stock; none of the shares of Banc One stock received by any
stockholder-employee will be separate consideration for, or allocable to,
any employment agreement; and the compensation paid to any stockholder-
employee will be for services actually rendered and will be commensurate
with amounts paid to third parties bargaining at arm's-length for similar
services.
Based solely on the information submitted and on the representations set forth
above our opinion is as follows:
1. Provided the proposed merger of Capital with and into Banc One Arizona
qualifies under Utah and Arizona law, the acquisition by Banc One Arizona
of substantially all of the assets of Capital solely in exchange for Banc
One Common Stock and the assumption by Banc One Arizona of the liabilities,
will qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Sections
368(a)(1)(A) and 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes
of this opinion, "substantially all" means at least 90% of the fair market
value of the net assets and at least 70% of the fair market value of the
gross assets of Capital held immediately prior to the proposed
transaction. Capital, Banc One and Banc One Arizona will each be "a party
to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b).
2. No gain or loss will be recognized by Capital upon the transfer of
substantially all of its assets to Banc One Arizona in exchange for Banc
One Common Stock and the assumption of Capital's liabilities by Banc One
Arizona (Sections 361 and 357(a)).
3. No gain or loss will be recognized by either Banc One or Banc One Arizona
upon the acquisition by Banc One Arizona of substantially all of the assets
of Capital in exchange for Banc One's Common Stock and the assumption of
Capital's liabilities (Rev. Rul. 57-278, 1957-1 C.B. 124).
4. The federal income tax basis of the assets of Capital acquired by Banc One
Arizona will be the same in the hands of Banc One Arizona as the basis of
such assets in the hands of Capital immediately prior to the exchange
(Section 362(b)).
5. The basis of the Banc One Arizona Common Stock in the hands of Banc One
will be increased by an amount equal to the basis of the Capital assets in
the hands of Banc One Arizona and decreased by the sum of the amount of the
liabilities of Capital assumed by Banc One Arizona and the amount of
liabilities to which the assets of Capital are subject.
6. The holding period of the assets of Capital received by Capital will, in
each instance, include the period for which such assets were held by
Capital (Section 1223(2)).
7. No gain or loss will be recognized to the stockholders of Capital upon the
exchange of Capital stock solely for Banc One Common Stock (Section
354(a)(1).
8. The basis of the Banc One Common Stock received by the stockholders of
Capital will be the same as the basis of the Capital stock surrendered in
exchange therefor (Section 358(a)(1)).
9. The holding period of the Banc One Common Stock received by the
stockholders of Capital will include the period during which Capital stock
surrendered therefor was held, provided the stock of Capital is a capital
asset in the hands of the stockholders of Capital on the date of the
exchange (Section 1223(1)).
10. As provided by Section 381(c)(2) of the Code and Section 1.381(c)(2)-1 of
the Income Tax Regulations, Banc One Arizona will succeed to and take into
account the earnings and profits, or deficit in earnings and profits, of
Capital as of the date of transfer. Any deficit in the earnings and
profits of Capital or Banc One Arizona will be used only to offset the
earnings and profits accumulated after the date of transfer.
11. Where a dissenting Capital stockholder receives cash in exchange for his or
her stock, such cash will be treated as having been received by the
stockholder as a distribution in redemption of his or her stock subject to
the provisions and limitations of Section 302 of the Code. Rev. Rul.
74-515, 1974-2 C.B. 118.
No opinion in expressed about the tax treatment of the Merger transaction under
other provisions of the Code and regulations or about the federal income tax or
state income tax treatment of any conditions existing at the time of, or other
tax consequences resulting from the Merger transaction that are not
specifically covered above.
No opinion is expressed herein with regard to the tax treatment of the merger
of Capital City Bank into Bank One, Utah, N.A.
This opinion is addressed only to you and concerns only the transaction
described above. This opinion may be relied upon only by Capital, Banc One,
Banc One Arizona and the stockholders of Capital.
We consent to the inclusion of this opinion in the Registration Statement (Form
S-4) of Banc One relating to the Merger and to the reference to our firm under
the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement which is part of
the Registration Statement.
