"Company"), will own all the common securities (the "Common Securities" and,
together with the Preferred Securities, the "Trust Securities") representing
undivided beneficial interests in the assets of SBI Capital.
State Street Bank and Trust Company is the Property Trustee (as defined
herein) of SBI Capital. SBI Capital exists for the purpose of issuing the
Preferred Securities and investing the proceeds thereof in an equivalent
amount of 9.30% Subordinated Debentures (the "Subordinated Debentures") of the
Company. The Subordinated Debentures will mature on July 31, 2027, which date
may be (i) shortened to a date not earlier than July 31, 2002, or (ii)
extended to a date not later than July 31, 2036, in each case if certain
conditions are met (including, in the case of shortening the Stated Maturity
(as defined herein), the Company having received prior approval of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") to do so if
then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve). The Preferred Securities will have a preference under certain
circumstances with respect to cash distributions and amounts payable on
liquidation, redemption or otherwise over the Common Securities. See
"Description of the Preferred Securities--Subordination of Common Securities."
Holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to receive preferential
cumulative cash distributions, at the annual rate of 9.30% of the liquidation
amount of $25 per Preferred Security (the "Liquidation Amount"), accruing from
June 4, 1997, the date of original issuance, and payable quarterly in arrears
on the last day of January, April, July and October of each year, commencing
July 31, 1997 (the "Distributions"). The Company has the right, so long as no
Debenture Event of Default (as defined herein) has occurred and is continuing,
to defer payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures at any time or
from time to time for a period not to exceed 20 consecutive quarters with
respect to each deferral period (each, an "Extended Interest Payment Period");
provided that no Extended Interest Payment Period may extend beyond the Stated
Maturity of the Subordinated Debentures. Upon the termination of any such
Extended Interest Payment Period and the payment of all amounts then due, the
Company may elect to begin a new Extended Interest Payment Period subject to
the requirements set forth herein. If interest payments on the Subordinated
Debentures are so deferred, Distributions on the Preferred Securities will
also be deferred, and the Company will not be permitted, subject to certain
exceptions described herein, to declare or pay any cash distributions with
respect to its capital stock or debt securities that rank pari passu with or
junior to the Subordinated Debentures. DURING AN EXTENDED INTEREST PAYMENT
PERIOD, INTEREST ON THE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES WILL CONTINUE TO ACCRUE (AND
THE AMOUNT OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO WHICH HOLDERS OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES ARE
ENTITLED WILL ACCUMULATE) AT THE RATE OF 9.30% PER ANNUM, COMPOUNDED
QUARTERLY, AND HOLDERS OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES WILL BE REQUIRED TO INCLUDE
INTEREST INCOME IN THEIR GROSS INCOME FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX
PURPOSES IN ADVANCE OF RECEIPT OF THE CASH DISTRIBUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
DEFERRED INTEREST PAYMENTS. FOLLOWING THE DEFERRAL OF THE PAYMENT OF INTEREST
ON THE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES, A HOLDER OF PREFERRED SECURITIES THAT DISPOSES
OF ITS PREFERRED SECURITIES (AND CONSEQUENTLY DOES NOT RECEIVE A DISTRIBUTION
FROM SBI CAPITAL FOR THE PERIOD OF INTEREST DEFERRAL PRIOR TO SUCH
DISPOSITION) WILL NEVERTHELESS BE REQUIRED TO INCLUDE ACCRUED BUT UNPAID
INTEREST ON THE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES THROUGH THE DATE OF DISPOSITION IN
INCOME AS ORDINARY INCOME AND TO ADD SUCH AMOUNT TO ITS ADJUSTED TAX BASIS IN
ITS PRO RATA SHARE OF THE UNDERLYING SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES DEEMED DISPOSED
OF. See "Description of the Subordinated Debentures--Option to Extend Interest
Payment Period," "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences--Potential Extension
of Interest Payment Period and Original Issue Discount" and "--Disposition of
Preferred Securities."
The Company and SBI Capital believe that, taken together, the obligations of
the Company under the Guarantee, the Trust Agreement, the Subordinated
Debentures, the Indenture and the Expense Agreement (each as defined herein)
provide, in the aggregate, a full, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee, on
a subordinated basis, of all of the obligations of SBI Capital under the
Preferred Securities. See "Relationship Among the Preferred Securities, the
Subordinated Debentures and the Guarantee--Full and Unconditional Guarantee."
The Guarantee of the Company guarantees the payment of Distributions and
payments on liquidation or redemption of the Preferred Securities, but only in
each case to the extent of funds held by SBI Capital, as described herein. See
"Description of the Guarantee--General." If the Company does not make interest
payments on the Subordinated Debentures held by SBI Capital, SBI Capital will
have insufficient funds to pay Distributions on
2
<PAGE>
the Preferred Securities. The Guarantee does not cover payments of
Distributions when SBI Capital does not have sufficient funds to pay such
Distributions. In such event, a holder of Preferred Securities may institute a
legal proceeding directly against the Company pursuant to the terms of the
Indenture to enforce payments of amounts equal to such Distributions to such
holder. See "Description of the Subordinated Debentures--Enforcement of
Certain Rights by Holders of the Preferred Securities." The obligations of the
Company under the Guarantee and the Preferred Securities are subordinate and
junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and
Additional Senior Obligations (each as defined herein) of the Company. The
Subordinated Debentures are unsecured obligations of the Company and are
subordinated to all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior
Obligations of the Company.
The Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in
part, upon repayment of the Subordinated Debentures at maturity or their
earlier redemption. Subject to Federal Reserve approval, if then required
under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve, the
Subordinated Debentures are redeemable prior to maturity at the option of the
Company (i) on or after July 31, 2002, in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, or (ii) at any time, in whole (but not in part), within 180 days
following the occurrence of a Tax Event, a Capital Treatment Event or an
Investment Company Event (each as defined herein), in each case at a
redemption price equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated
Debentures so redeemed to the date fixed for redemption, plus 100% of the
principal amount thereof. See "Description of the Preferred Securities--
Redemption or Exchange."
The Company has the right at any time to dissolve, wind-up or terminate SBI
Capital, subject to the Company having received prior approval of the Federal
Reserve to do so, if then required under applicable capital guidelines or
policies of the Federal Reserve. In the event of the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, winding up or termination of SBI Capital, after satisfaction of
liabilities to creditors of SBI Capital as required by applicable law, the
holders of Preferred Securities will be entitled to receive a Liquidation
Amount of $25 per Preferred Security, plus accumulated and unpaid
Distributions thereon to the date of payment, which may be in the form of a
Subordinated Debenture having an aggregate principal amount equal to the
Liquidation Amount of such Preferred Securities (and carrying with it
accumulated interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid
Distributions then due on such Preferred Securities), subject to certain
exceptions. See "Description of the Preferred Securities--Redemption or
Exchange" and "--Liquidation Distribution Upon Termination."

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information appearing elsewhere (or incorporated by reference) in this
Prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this Prospectus
assumes that the Underwriter's over-allotment option will not be exercised.
Prospective investors should carefully consider the information set forth under
the heading "Risk Factors."
SOUTHWEST BANCORP, INC.
Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a one-bank holding company
headquartered in Stillwater, Oklahoma, engaged in providing commercial and
consumer banking services through its sole subsidiary, Stillwater National Bank
& Trust Company (the "Bank"). The Company has six full-service banking offices,
two of which are located in each of Stillwater and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and one
each in Oklahoma City and Chickasha, Oklahoma, and one loan production office
in Oklahoma City. Until May 1997, the Bank maintained a second loan production
office in Tulsa. The Company pursues a decentralized community banking strategy
through three regional divisions--the Stillwater Division, the Central Oklahoma
Division (which includes Oklahoma City and Chickasha) and the Tulsa Division--
that offer commercial, consumer and real estate lending services and retail and
commercial deposit products in their market areas. The Stillwater Division of
the Bank serves the Stillwater market as a full-service community bank
emphasizing both commercial and consumer lending. The Central Oklahoma Division
and the Tulsa Division each have followed a more focused marketing strategy,
targeting managers and professionals and Oklahoma-based businesses for lending
and offering more specialized services. Each regional division is managed by a
senior officer with substantial flexibility over credit and pricing decisions.
In addition to the services offered through the regional divisions, the Bank
offers credit card, student and mortgage lending services throughout the State
of Oklahoma.
Over the past five years, the Company has achieved significant growth in
assets. From 1992 through 1996, the Company's loans grew at a 27% compound
annual growth rate, and increased by $31.9 million, or 5%, in the first three
months of 1997. Using the capital raised in the public offering of its Series A
Preferred Stock in 1995, and increased funding from deposit growth, the Company
increased the Bank's loan portfolio by 21% during 1996. The Company's ratio of
nonperforming assets to total loans receivable and other real estate declined
from 2.48% at December 31, 1992 to 1.04% at December 31, 1996. At March 31,
1997, the Company's ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans receivable and
other real estate was 1.11%. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average loans
receivable has declined from 0.51% in 1992 to 0.31% in 1996, but increased to
an annualized rate of 1.00% for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The
increase in the first quarter of 1997 is largely attributable to the impairment
of a large commercial loan in that quarter. The Company has also had a history
of earnings growth. Net income and net income available to common shareholders
grew at compound annual growth rates of 21% and 14%, respectively, from 1992 to
1996. During this period, the Company's net interest income grew at a 21%
compound annual growth rate. Although net interest income grew by 15% during
the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the three months ended March
31, 1996, net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
significantly less than the prior year's period, primarily as a result of a
$2.1 million increase in the provision for loan losses. This increase in the
provision for the first quarter of 1997 was the result of the impairment of a
$1.9 million commercial loan in the first quarter of 1997 and the Company's
regular evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The
Company's annual return on average common equity has averaged 15.33% over the
five-year period from 1992 through 1996. For the five-year period from 1992 to
1996, the Company's average annual return on average assets was 1.01%. The
annualized return on average equity and the annualized return on average assets
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were substantially less than for the
prior year's period. Net income, net income available to common shareholders,
and returns on average assets and average common equity are expected to be less
in 1997 than in 1996 as a result of the decline in income for the first quarter
of 1997.

</TABLE>
The Bank was founded in Stillwater and is currently in its 103rd year of
operation. The Company began offering loans in Oklahoma City in 1982 and in
Tulsa in 1985 by establishing loan production offices in these markets. The
Company's banking strategy includes the offering of multiple commercial and
consumer services to local businesses and their primary employees as well as to
other managers and professionals living and working in the Company's market
areas. Working within the branching limitations imposed by Oklahoma law, the
Company has developed a marketing strategy that does not rely on an extensive
branch network to deliver financial services to its target markets. The
Company's high customer service philosophy includes offering an array of
financial services, loan officers who often meet at the customer's home or
place of business to close loans and the use of third-party courier services to
collect commercial deposits.
Pursuant to the Company's decentralized approach to banking, the Company's
regional Division Managers, each of whom has significant lending experience,
exercise substantial flexibility in credit and pricing decisions. The Company
has designed and developed management information systems and loan review
policies which senior management uses to review and monitor the origination and
maturation of the loan portfolio. The Company believes this decentralized
management approach, coupled with the continuity of service of its senior
officers and its management information systems, enables the Company to develop
long-term customer relationships, maintain high quality service and respond
quickly to customer needs.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In the first quarter of 1997, the Company received information regarding
events that had affected a borrower's ability to fully repay its commercial
loan, which had a carrying amount of approximately $1.9 million. As a result of
this event, and management's regular evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses relative to other loans in the portfolio, the Company
recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.0 million in the first quarter of
1997. Quarterly provisions for loan losses during 1996 ranged from $675,000 to
$875,000. The Company also charged-off a portion of the referenced loan against
the allowance for loan losses in the first quarter.
In the second quarter of 1997, the Company settled the obligations of the
borrower described above for cash, and recorded an additional, immaterial
charge relating to this loan to the allowance for loan losses. As a result,
this loan has been removed from the loan portfolio and from nonaccrual and
total nonperforming loans.
SBI CAPITAL TRUST
SBI Capital is a statutory business trust formed under Delaware law pursuant
to (i) a trust agreement, dated as of May 8, 1997, executed by the Company, as
depositor, and the trustees of SBI Capital (together with the
6
<PAGE>
Property Trustee, the "Trustees"), and (ii) a certificate of trust filed with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on May 9, 1997. The initial
trust agreement will be amended and restated in its entirety (as so amended and
restated, the "Trust Agreement") substantially in the form filed as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part. The Trust
Agreement will be qualified as an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"). Upon issuance of the Preferred
Securities, the purchasers thereof will own all of the Preferred Securities.
The Company will acquire all of the Common Securities, which will represent an
aggregate liquidation amount equal to at least 3% of the total capital of SBI
Capital. The Common Securities will rank pari passu, and payments will be made
thereon pro rata, with the Preferred Securities, except that upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined
herein) under the Trust Agreement resulting from a Debenture Event of Default,
the rights of the Company as holder of the Common Securities to payment in
respect of Distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise
will be subordinated to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Securities.
See "Description of the Preferred Securities--Subordination of Common
Securities." SBI Capital exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing the
Trust Securities representing undivided beneficial interests in the assets of
SBI Capital, (ii) investing the gross proceeds of the Trust Securities in the
Subordinated Debentures issued by the Company, and (iii) engaging in only those
other activities necessary, advisable, or incidental thereto. The Subordinated
Debentures and payments thereunder will be the only assets of SBI Capital and
payments under the Subordinated Debentures will be the only revenue of SBI
Capital. SBI Capital has a term of 55 years, but may terminate earlier as
provided in the Trust Agreement. The principal executive office of SBI Capital
is 608 South Main Street, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74074 and its telephone number
is (405) 372-2230.
The number of Trustees will, pursuant to the Trust Agreement, initially be
five. Three of the Trustees (the "Administrative Trustees") will be persons who
are employees or officers of, or who are affiliated with, the Company. The
fourth trustee will be a financial institution that is unaffiliated with the
Company, which trustee will serve as institutional trustee under the Trust
Agreement and as indenture trustee for the purposes of compliance with the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act (the "Property Trustee"). State Street
Bank and Trust Company, a state chartered trust company organized under the
laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, will be the Property Trustee until
removed or replaced by the holder of the Common Securities. For purposes of
compliance with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, State Street Bank
and Trust Company will also act as trustee (the "Guarantee Trustee") under the
Guarantee and as Debenture Trustee (as defined herein) under the Indenture. The
fifth trustee will be an entity that maintains its principal place of business
in the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Trustee"). Wilmington Trust Company, a
Delaware chartered trust company, will act as Delaware Trustee.
The Property Trustee will hold title to the Subordinated Debentures for the
benefit of the holders of the Trust Securities and in such capacity will have
the power to exercise all rights, powers and privileges under the Indenture.
The Property Trustee will also maintain exclusive control of a segregated non-
interest-bearing bank account (the "Property Account") to hold all payments
made in respect of the Subordinated Debentures for the benefit of the holders
of the Trust Securities. The Property Trustee will make payments of
Distributions and payments on liquidation, redemption and otherwise to the
holders of the Trust Securities out of funds from the Property Account. The
Guarantee Trustee will hold the Guarantee for the benefit of the holders of the
Preferred Securities. The Company, as the holder of all the Common Securities,
will have the right to appoint, remove or replace any Trustee and to increase
or decrease the number of Trustees. The Company will pay all fees and expenses
related to SBI Capital and the offering of the Trust Securities.
The rights of the holders of the Preferred Securities, including economic
rights, rights to information and voting rights, are set forth in the Trust
Agreement, the Delaware Business Trust Act (the "Trust Act") and the Trust
Indenture Act. See "Description of the Preferred Securities."

THE OFFERING
Securities Offered........ 870,000 Preferred Securities having a Liquidation
Amount of $25 per Preferred Security. The Preferred
Securities represent preferred undivided beneficial
interests in the assets of SBI Capital, which will
consist solely of the Subordinated Debentures and
payments thereunder. SBI Capital has granted the
Underwriter an option, exercisable within 30 days
after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up
to an additional 130,500 Preferred Securities at
the initial offering price, solely to cover over-
allotments, if any.
Distributions............. The Distributions payable on each Preferred
Security will be fixed at a rate per annum of 9.30%
of the Liquidation Amount of $25 per Preferred
Security, will be cumulative, will accrue from June
4, 1997, the date of original issuance of the
Preferred Securities, and will be payable quarterly
in arrears, on January 31, April 30, July 31 and
October 31 of each year, commencing July 31, 1997.
See "Description of the Preferred Securities--
Distributions--Payment of Distributions."
Option to Extend Interest
Payment Period........... The Company has the right, at any time, so long as
no Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to defer payments of interest on the
Subordinated Debentures for a period not exceeding
20 consecutive quarters; provided that no Extended
Interest Payment Period may extend beyond the
Stated Maturity of the Subordinated Debentures. As
a consequence of the extension by the Company of
the interest payment period, quarterly
Distributions on the Preferred Securities will be
deferred (though such Distributions would continue
to accrue with interest thereon compounded
quarterly, since interest will continue to accrue
and compound on the Subordinated Debentures) during
any such Extended Interest Payment Period. During
an Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company
will be prohibited, subject to certain exceptions
described herein, from declaring or paying any cash
distributions with respect to its capital stock or
debt securities that rank pari passu with or junior
to the Subordinated Debentures. Upon the
termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period
and the payment of all amounts then due, the
Company may commence a new Extended Interest
Payment Period, subject to the foregoing
requirements. See "Description of the Preferred
Securities--Distributions--Extended Interest
Payment Period" and "Description of the
Subordinated Debentures--Option to Extend Interest
Payment Period."
Should an Extended Interest Payment Period occur,
holders of Preferred Securities will be required to
include deferred interest income in their gross
income for United States federal income tax
purposes in advance of receipt of the cash
distributions with respect to such deferred
interest payments. See "Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Potential Extension of Interest
Payment Period and Original Issue Discount."
Early Redemption.......... The Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory
redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of
the Subordinated Debentures at maturity or their
earlier redemption. Subject to Federal Reserve
approval, if then required under applicable capital
guidelines or policies of the Federal
8
<PAGE>
Reserve, the Subordinated Debentures are redeemable
prior to maturity at the option of the Company (i)
on or after July 31, 2002, in whole at any time or
in part from time to time, or (ii) at any time, in
whole (but not in part), within 180 days following
the occurrence of a Tax Event, a Capital Treatment
Event or an Investment Company Event, in each case
at the redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Subordinated Debenture,
together with any accrued but unpaid interest to
the date fixed for redemption. See "Description of
the Subordinated Debentures--Redemption or
Exchange."
Distribution of
Subordinated
Debentures...............
The Company has the right at any time to terminate
the Preferred Securities and cause the Subordinated
Debentures to be distributed to holders of
Preferred Securities in liquidation of SBI Capital,
subject to the Company having received prior
approval of the Federal Reserve to do so, if then
required under applicable capital guidelines or
policies of the Federal Reserve. See "Description
of the Preferred Securities--Redemption or
Exchange" and "Description of the Preferred
Securities--Liquidation Distribution Upon
Termination."
Guarantee................. The Company has guaranteed the payment of
Distributions and payments on liquidation or
redemption of the Preferred Securities, but only in
each case to the extent of funds held by SBI
Capital, as described herein. The Company and SBI
Capital believe that, taken together, the
obligations of the Company under the Guarantee, the
Trust Agreement, the Subordinated Debentures, the
Indenture and the Expense Agreement provide, in the
aggregate, a full, irrevocable and unconditional
guarantee, on a subordinated basis, of all of the
obligations of SBI Capital under the Preferred
Securities. The obligations of the Company under
the Guarantee and the Preferred Securities are
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all
Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional
Senior Obligations of the Company. If the Company
does not make principal or interest payments on the
Subordinated Debentures, SBI Capital will not have
sufficient funds to make Distributions on the
Preferred Securities; in which event, the Guarantee
will not apply to such Distributions until SBI
Capital has sufficient funds available therefor.
See "Description of the Guarantee."
Voting Rights............. The holders of the Preferred Securities will have
no voting rights except in limited circumstances.
See "Description of the Preferred Securities--
Voting Rights; Amendment of Trust Agreement."
Use of Proceeds........... The proceeds from the sale of the Preferred
Securities will be used by SBI Capital to purchase
Subordinated Debentures from the Company. The net

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider, together with the other
information contained and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus, the
following risk factors in evaluating the Company and its business and SBI
Capital before purchasing the Preferred Securities offered hereby. Prospective
investors should note, in particular, that this Prospectus contains forward-
looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including statements of goals,
intentions, and expectations, regarding or based upon general economic
conditions, interest rates, developments in national and local markets, and
other matters, and which, by their nature, are subject to significant
uncertainties. Because of these uncertainties and the assumptions on which
statements in this Prospectus are based, the actual future results may differ
materially from those contemplated by such statements. The considerations
listed below represent certain important factors the Company believes could
cause such results to differ. These considerations are not intended to
represent a complete list of the general or specific risks that may affect the
Company and SBI Capital. It should be recognized that other risks may be
significant, presently or in the future, and the risks set forth below may
affect the Company and SBI Capital to a greater extent than indicated.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SECURITIES
RANKING OF SUBORDINATED OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE GUARANTEE AND THE SUBORDINATED
DEBENTURES
The obligations of the Company under the Guarantee issued for the benefit of
the holders of Preferred Securities and under the Subordinated Debentures are
unsecured and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior
Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations of the Company,
whether now existing or hereafter incurred. At May 29, 1997, the Company had
no outstanding Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior
Obligations. Because the Company is a holding company, the right of the
Company to participate in any distribution of assets of the Bank upon the
Bank's liquidation or reorganization or otherwise (and thus the ability of
holders of the Preferred Securities to benefit indirectly from such
distribution) is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the Bank, except
to the extent that the Company may itself be recognized as a creditor of the
Bank. The Subordinated Debentures, therefore, will be effectively subordinated
to all existing and future liabilities of the Bank and holders of Subordinated
Debentures and Preferred Securities should look only to the assets of the
Company for payments on the Subordinated Debentures. Neither the Indenture,
the Guarantee nor the Trust Agreement places any limitation on the amount of
secured or unsecured debt, including Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and
Additional Senior Obligations, that may be incurred by the Company. See
"Description of the Guarantee--Status of the Guarantee" and "Description of
the Subordinated Debentures--Subordination."
The ability of SBI Capital to pay amounts due on the Preferred Securities is
solely dependent upon the Company making payments on the Subordinated
Debentures as and when required.
OPTION TO EXTEND INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD; TAX CONSEQUENCES; MARKET PRICE
CONSEQUENCES
The Company has the right under the Indenture, so long as no Debenture Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, to defer the payment of interest on
the Subordinated Debentures at any time or from time to time for a period not
exceeding 20 consecutive quarters with respect to each Extended Interest
Payment Period; provided that no Extended Interest Payment Period may extend
beyond the Stated Maturity of the Subordinated Debentures. As a consequence of
any such deferral, quarterly Distributions on the Preferred Securities by SBI
Capital will be deferred (and the amount of Distributions to which holders of
the Preferred Securities are entitled will accumulate additional Distributions
thereon at the rate of 9.30% per annum, compounded quarterly from the relevant
payment date for such Distributions) during any such Extended Interest Payment
Period. During any such Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may not
(i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase,
acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's
capital stock, (ii) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if
any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any
11
<PAGE>
debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu with or junior in interest
to the Subordinated Debentures or make any guarantee payments with respect to
any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any subsidiary of the
Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the
Subordinated Debentures (other than payments under the Guarantee), or (iii)
redeem, purchase or acquire less than all of the Subordinated Debentures or
any of the Preferred Securities. Prior to the termination of any such Extended
Interest Payment Period, the Company may further defer the payment of
interest; provided that no Extended Interest Payment Period may exceed 20
consecutive quarters or extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the Subordinated
Debentures. Upon the termination of any Extended Interest Payment Period and
the payment of all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with interest
thereon at the annual rate of 9.30% compounded quarterly, to the extent
permitted by applicable law), the Company may elect to begin a new Extended
Interest Payment Period, subject to the above requirements. Subject to the
foregoing, there is no limitation on the number of times that the Company may
elect to begin an Extended Interest Payment Period. See "Description of the
Preferred Securities--Distributions--Extended Interest Payment Period" and
"Description of the Subordinated Debentures--Option to Extend Interest Payment
Period."
Should an Extended Interest Payment Period occur, each holder of Preferred
Securities will be required to accrue and recognize income (in the form of
original issue discount ("OID")) in respect of its pro rata share of the
interest accruing on the Subordinated Debentures held by SBI Capital for
United States federal income tax purposes. Under such circumstances a holder
of Preferred Securities would be required to include such income in gross
income for United States federal income tax purposes in advance of the receipt
of cash, and will not receive the cash related to such income from SBI Capital
if the holder disposes of the Preferred Securities prior to the record date
for the payment of the related Distributions. See "Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Potential Extension of Interest Payment Period and Original
Issue Discount."
The Company has no current intention of exercising its right to defer
payments of interest by extending the interest payment period on the
Subordinated Debentures and believes the likelihood of its exercising such
right to be remote. Should the Company elect, however, to exercise such right
in the future, the market price of the Preferred Securities is likely to be
adversely affected. A holder that disposes of its Preferred Securities during
an Extended Interest Payment Period, therefore, might not receive the same
return on its investment as a holder that continues to hold its Preferred
Securities. As a result of the existence of the Company's right to defer
interest payments, the market price of the Preferred Securities may be more
volatile than the market prices of other securities on which original issue
discount accrues that are not subject to such optional deferrals.
TAX EVENT, CAPITAL TREATMENT EVENT OR INVESTMENT COMPANY EVENT; REDEMPTION
The Company has the right to redeem the Subordinated Debentures in whole
(but not in part) within 180 days following the occurrence of a Tax Event, a
Capital Treatment Event or Investment Company Event (whether occurring before
or after July 31, 2002), and, therefore, cause a mandatory redemption of the
Preferred Securities. The exercise of such right is subject to the Company
having received prior approval of the Federal Reserve to do so, if then
required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve.
"Tax Event" means the receipt by SBI Capital of an opinion of counsel
experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of any amendment
to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in the laws (or any
regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of any official
administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying
such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or such
pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of issuance of the
Preferred Securities under the Trust Agreement, there is more than an
insubstantial risk that (i) SBI Capital is, or will be within 90 days of the
date of such opinion, subject to United States federal income tax with respect
to income received or accrued on the Subordinated Debentures, (ii) interest
payable by the Company on the Subordinated Debentures is not, or, within 90
days of such opinion, will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in
part, for United States federal income tax purposes, or (iii) SBI Capital is,
or will be within 90 days of the date of the opinion, subject to more than a
de minimis amount of other taxes, duties or other governmental charges. The
Company must request and receive an opinion with
12
<PAGE>
regard to such matters within a reasonable period of time after it becomes
aware of the possible occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i)
through (iii) above. See "--Risk Factors Relating to the Preferred
Securities--Proposed Tax Legislation" for a discussion of certain legislative
proposals that, if adopted, could give rise to a Tax Event, which may permit
the Company to cause a redemption of the Preferred Securities prior to July
31, 2002.
"Capital Treatment Event" means the receipt by SBI Capital of an opinion of
counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of any
amendment to or any change (including any announced prospective change) in the
laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof or therein, or as a result of any official administrative
pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or
regulations, which amendment or change is effective or such proposed change,
pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of issuance of the
Preferred Securities under the Trust Agreement, there is more than an
insubstantial risk of impairment of the Company's ability to treat the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities (or any substantial
portion thereof) as "Tier 1 Capital" (or the then equivalent thereof) for
purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve, as then
applicable to the Company, provided, however, that the inability of the
Company to treat all or any portion of the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities as Tier 1 Capital shall not constitute the basis of a Capital
Treatment Event if such inability results from the Company having cumulative
preferred capital in excess of the amount which may qualify for treatment as
Tier 1 Capital under applicable capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal
Reserve.
"Investment Company Event" means the receipt by SBI Capital of an opinion of
counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of the
occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or
application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental
agency or regulatory authority, SBI Capital is or will be considered an
"investment company" that is required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), which change
becomes effective on or after the date of original issuance of the Preferred
Securities.
SHORTENING OR EXTENSION OF STATED MATURITY OF SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company has the right, at any time, to shorten the maturity of the
Subordinated Debentures to a date not earlier than July 31, 2002. The exercise
of such right is subject to the Company having received prior approval of the
Federal Reserve, if then required under applicable capital guidelines or
policies of the Federal Reserve. The Company also has the right to extend the
maturity of the Subordinated Debentures (whether or not SBI Capital is
terminated and the Subordinated Debentures are distributed to holders of the
Preferred Securities) to a date no later than July 31, 2036, the 39th
anniversary of the initial issuance of the Preferred Securities. Such right
may only be exercised, however, if at the time such election is made and at
the time of such extension (i) the Company is not in bankruptcy, otherwise
insolvent or in liquidation, (ii) the Company is not in default in the payment
of any interest or principal on the Subordinated Debentures, (iii) SBI Capital
is not in arrears on payments of Distributions on the Preferred Securities and
no deferred Distributions are accumulated, and (iv) the Company has a Senior
Debt rating of investment grade. See "Description of the Subordinated
Debentures--General."
RIGHTS UNDER THE GUARANTEE
The Guarantee guarantees to the holders of the Preferred Securities, to the
extent not paid by SBI Capital, (i) any accrued and unpaid Distributions
required to be paid on the Preferred Securities, to the extent that SBI
Capital has funds available therefor at such time, (ii) the Redemption Price
(as defined herein) with respect to any Preferred Securities called for
redemption, to the extent that SBI Capital has funds available therefor at
such time, and (iii) upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding-up
or liquidation of SBI Capital (other than in connection with the distribution
of Subordinated Debentures to the holders of Preferred Securities or a
redemption of all of the Preferred Securities), the lesser of (a) the amount
of the Liquidation Distribution (as defined herein), to the extent SBI Capital
has funds available therefor at such time, and (b) the amount of assets of SBI
Capital remaining available for distribution to holders of the Preferred
Securities in liquidation of SBI
13
<PAGE>
Capital. The holders of not less than a majority in Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee in
respect of the Guarantee or to direct the exercise of any trust power
conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under the Guarantee. Any holder of the
Preferred Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against the
Company to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without first instituting a
legal proceeding against SBI Capital, the Guarantee Trustee or any other
Person (as defined in the Guarantee). If the Company were to default on its
obligation to pay amounts payable under the Subordinated Debentures, SBI
Capital would lack funds for the payment of Distributions or amounts payable
on redemption of the Preferred Securities or otherwise, and, in such event,
holders of Preferred Securities would not be able to rely upon the Guarantee
for such amounts. In the event, however, that a Debenture Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of
the Company to pay interest on or principal of the Subordinated Debentures on
the payment date on which such payment is due and payable, then a holder of
Preferred Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly against the
Company for enforcement of payment to such holder of the principal of or
interest on such Subordinated Debentures having a principal amount equal to
the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities of such holder (a
"Direct Action"). The exercise by the Company of its right, as described
herein, to defer the payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures does
not constitute a Debenture Event of Default. In connection with such Direct
Action, the Company will have a right of set-off under the Indenture to the
extent of any payment made by the Company to such holder of Preferred
Securities in the Direct Action. Except as described herein, holders of
Preferred Securities will not be able to exercise directly any other remedy
available to the holders of the Subordinated Debentures or assert directly any
other rights in respect of the Subordinated Debentures. See "Description of
the Subordinated Debentures--Enforcement of Certain Rights by Holders of
Preferred Securities," "Description of the Subordinated Debentures--Debenture
Events of Default" and "Description of the Guarantee." The Trust Agreement
provides that each holder of Preferred Securities by acceptance thereof agrees
to the provisions of the Guarantee and the Indenture.
NO VOTING RIGHTS EXCEPT IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES
Holders of Preferred Securities will have no voting rights except in limited
circumstances relating only to the modification of the Preferred Securities
and the exercise of the rights of SBI Capital as holder of the Subordinated
Debentures and the Guarantee. Holders of Preferred Securities will not be
entitled to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Property Trustee or the
Delaware Trustee, as such voting rights are vested exclusively in the holder
of the Common Securities (except upon the occurrence of certain events
described herein). The Property Trustee, the Administrative Trustees and the
Company may amend the Trust Agreement without the consent of holders of
Preferred Securities to ensure that SBI Capital will be classified for United
States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust even if such action
adversely affects the interests of such holders. See "Description of the
Preferred Securities--Voting Rights; Amendment of Trust Agreement" and
"Description of the Preferred Securities--Removal of SBI Capital Trustees."
PROPOSED TAX LEGISLATION
On March 19, 1996, President Clinton proposed certain tax law changes that
would, among other things, generally deny corporate issuers a deduction for
interest in respect of certain debt obligations issued on or after December 7,
1995 (the "1996 Proposed Legislation") if such debt obligations have a maximum
term in excess of 20 years and are not shown as indebtedness on the issuer's
applicable consolidated balance sheet. On March 29, 1996, Senate Finance
Committee Chairman William V. Roth, Jr. and House Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Bill Archer issued a joint statement (the "Joint Statement")
indicating their intent that certain legislative proposals initiated by the
Clinton administration, including the 1996 Proposed Legislation, that may be
adopted by either of the tax-writing committees of Congress would have an
effective date that is no earlier than the date of "appropriate Congressional
action." In addition, subsequent to the publication of the Joint Statement,
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Representatives Sam M. Gibbons and Charles
B. Rangel wrote letters to Treasury Department officials concurring with the
views expressed in the Joint Statement. Neither the 1996 Proposed Legislation
nor similar legislation was enacted during the 104th Congress. On February 6,
1997,
14
<PAGE>
President Clinton proposed in the administration's fiscal year 1998 budget
certain tax law changes (the "1997 Proposed Legislation") that would, among
other things, generally deny corporate issuers a deduction for interest or OID
in respect of certain debt obligations if such debt obligations have a maximum
term in excess of 15 years and are not shown as indebtedness on the issuer's
applicable consolidated balance sheet. The 1997 Proposed Legislation also
contains a provision that would deny a deduction to corporate issuers for
interest or OID with respect to debt instruments that have a maximum term of
more than 40 years (including rights to extend, renew or relend), or are
payable in stock of the issuer or a related party. The U.S. Treasury
Department's summary of the 1997 Proposed Legislation states that the above
provisions regarding the deduction of interest would generally be effective
for instruments issued on or after the date of first Congressional committee
action with respect to the 1997 Proposed Legislation. The Ways and Means
Committee began a full committee hearing on the President's fiscal 1998 budget
on February 11, 1997. There can be no assurance that the effective date
guidance in the 1997 Proposed Legislation will be adopted if the proposed
change to the tax law is enacted, or that other legislation enacted after the
date hereof will not otherwise adversely affect the ability of the Company to
deduct the interest payable on the Subordinated Debentures. Consequently,
there can be no assurance that a Tax Event will not occur. A Tax Event would
permit the Company, upon approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required
under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve, to
cause a redemption of the Preferred Securities before, as well as after, July
31, 2002. See "Description of the Subordinated Debentures--Redemption or
Exchange" and "Description of the Preferred Securities--Redemption or
Exchange--Tax Event Redemption, Capital Treatment Event Redemption or
Investment Company Event Redemption" and "Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Effect of Proposed Changes in Tax Laws."
REDEMPTION; EXCHANGE OF PREFERRED SECURITIES FOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company has the right at any time to dissolve, wind-up or terminate SBI
Capital and cause the Subordinated Debentures to be distributed to the holders
of the Preferred Securities in exchange therefor in liquidation of SBI
Capital. The exercise of such right is subject to the Company having received
prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then required under applicable
capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve. The Company will have
the right, in certain circumstances, to redeem the Subordinated Debentures in
whole or in part, in lieu of a distribution of the Subordinated Debentures by
SBI Capital, in which event SBI Capital will redeem the Trust Securities on a
pro rata basis to the same extent as the Subordinated Debentures are redeemed
by the Company. Any such distribution or redemption prior to the Stated
Maturity will be subject to prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if then
required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve. See "Description of the Preferred Securities--Redemption or
Exchange--Tax Event Redemption, Capital Treatment Event Redemption or
Investment Company Event Redemption."
Under current United States federal income tax law, a distribution of
Subordinated Debentures upon the dissolution of SBI Capital would not be a
taxable event to holders of the Preferred Securities. If, however, SBI Capital
is characterized as an association taxable as a corporation at the time of the
dissolution of SBI Capital, the distribution of the Subordinated Debentures
may constitute a taxable event to holders of Preferred Securities. Moreover,
upon occurrence of a Tax Event, a dissolution of SBI Capital in which holders
of the Preferred Securities receive cash may be a taxable event to such
holders. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences--Receipt of Subordinated
Debentures or Cash Upon Liquidation of SBI Capital."
There can be no assurance as to the market prices for the Preferred
Securities or the Subordinated Debentures that may be distributed in exchange
for Preferred Securities upon a dissolution or liquidation of SBI Capital. The
Preferred Securities or the Subordinated Debentures, may trade at a discount
to the price that the investor paid to purchase the Preferred Securities
offered hereby. Because holders of Preferred Securities may receive
Subordinated Debentures, prospective purchasers of Preferred Securities are
also making an investment decision with regard to the Subordinated Debentures
and should carefully review all the information regarding the Subordinated
Debentures contained herein.
If the Subordinated Debentures are distributed to the holders of Preferred
Securities upon the liquidation of SBI Capital, the Company will use its best
efforts to list the Subordinated Debentures on The Nasdaq Stock Market's
National Market or such stock exchanges, if any, on which the Preferred
Securities are then listed.

TRADING PRICE; ABSENCE OF PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE PREFERRED SECURITIES
The Preferred Securities may trade at prices that do not fully reflect the
value of accrued but unpaid interest with respect to the underlying
Subordinated Debentures. A holder who uses the accrual method of accounting
(and a cash method holder if the Subordinated Debentures are deemed to have
been issued with OID) that disposes of its Preferred Securities between record
dates for payments of Distributions will nevertheless be required to include
accrued but unpaid interest (or OID) on the Subordinated Debentures through
the date of disposition in income as ordinary income and to add the amount of
any accrued OID to its adjusted tax basis in its pro rata share of the
underlying Subordinated Debentures deemed disposed of. Such holder will
recognize a capital loss to the extent the selling price (which may not fully
reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest) is less than its adjusted
tax basis (which will include all accrued OID). Subject to certain limited
exceptions, capital losses cannot be applied to offset ordinary income for
United States federal income tax purposes. See "Certain Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Disposition of Preferred Securities."
There is no current public market for the Preferred Securities. Although the
Preferred Securities have been approved for quotation on The Nasdaq Stock
Market's National Market, there can be no assurance that an active public
market will develop for the Preferred Securities or that, if such market
develops, the market price will equal or exceed the public offering price set
forth on the cover page of this Prospectus. The public offering price for the
Preferred Securities has been determined through negotiations between the
Company and the Underwriter. Prices for the Preferred Securities will be
determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including
prevailing interest rates, the liquidity of the market for the Preferred
Securities, investor perceptions of the Company and general industry and
economic conditions.
PREFERRED SECURITIES ARE NOT INSURED
The Preferred Securities are not insured by the Bank Insurance Fund (the
"BIF") or the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the "SAIF") of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") or by any other governmental
agency.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE COMPANY
CREDIT RISK AND COMMERCIAL LOAN GROWTH
The greatest risk facing lenders generally is credit risk, that is the risk
of losing principal and interest due to a borrower's failure to perform
according to the terms of the loan agreement. The Bank continues to carry a
high percentage of commercial loans in relation to its assets. Commercial and
commercial real estate loans generally entail larger risks than residential
real estate loans or other bank-qualified investments since repayment of such
loans may be affected by the quality of the borrower's management and a number
of economic and other factors which may induce business failure and depreciate
the value of the business assets pledged to secure the loan. The dollar volume
of commercial and commercial real estate loans has increased substantially in
recent years, to $433.2 million at March 31, 1997, from $414.7 million at
December 31, 1996, $341.2 million at December 31, 1995 and $253.1 million at
December 31, 1994, comprising approximately 64.04%, 64.33%, 64.14% and 61.33%
of the Bank's total loan portfolio at such dates, respectively. The Company
believes that commercial and commercial real estate loans may continue to
increase as a percentage of its loan portfolio. Problems with commercial and
commercial real estate loans would not necessarily be expected to surface
early in their lives, and as the recent loans mature, the Company may
experience increased levels of nonperforming loans and charge-offs. In
addition, because the size of loans originated by the Bank, particularly the
commercial and commercial real estate loans, has been increasing, the Bank may
experience larger period-to-period fluctuations in its level of nonperforming
loans as the result of changes in circumstances of individual borrowers on
larger loans. Increases in nonperforming loans would result in a loss of
earnings from these loans during the period of nonperformance and may lead to
loan charge-offs. At any time, there are loans included in the Company's loan
portfolio that will result in losses to the Company, but that have not been
identified as nonperforming or potential problem loans. Because the loan
portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real
estate loans with relatively large balances, the unexpected deterioration of
one or a few of such loans may cause
16
<PAGE>
a significant increase in nonperforming assets, and lead to a material
increase in charge-offs and the provision for loan losses. Actual future
losses could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by management,
adversely affecting net income. Earnings volatility resulting from
fluctuations in nonperforming asset levels may affect the future trading
prices of the Preferred Securities.
EXPOSURE TO LOCAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Although the Bank makes loans throughout the State of Oklahoma, the
Company's commercial lending operations are concentrated primarily in the
Bank's service areas. Consequently, adverse changes in economic conditions in
those service areas would impair the Company's ability to collect loans and
would otherwise have a negative effect on the financial condition of the
Company. The Company has increased its loans in its Tulsa Division and Central
Oklahoma Division (which includes Oklahoma City) from approximately $202.8
million, or 49% of the total loan portfolio, at December 31, 1994, to
approximately $411.2 million, or 61.2% of the total loan portfolio, at March
31, 1997, and the Company's exposure to the economic conditions in those two
areas has increased accordingly. In addition, although the Oklahoma economy
has diversified from its traditional dependencies on the energy industries and
agriculture, a substantial decline in the price of oil or in agricultural
commodity prices may have an adverse effect on economic conditions in the
Bank's service areas.
LOAN PORTFOLIO CONCENTRATIONS
During the past several years, the Company has followed a business strategy
which has featured the offering of multiple commercial and consumer lending
services to managers and professionals living and working in its primary
market areas. As a result of this lending emphasis, the Company has originated
a substantial amount of loans to individuals and businesses involved in the
healthcare industry including loans to physicians, dentists and other
healthcare professionals, and to hospitals, nursing homes, suppliers and other
healthcare-related businesses. At March 31, 1997, the Company estimates that
approximately $79 million of loans, comprising approximately 12% of the total
loan portfolio, involved loans to individuals and businesses in the healthcare
industry. Other notable concentrations of credit include $23.8 million in
hotel/motel loans, $23.4 million in residential construction loans and $15.8
million in restaurant loans, which represented 4%, 3% and 2% percent,
respectively, of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 1997. These portfolio
concentrations expose the Company to the risk that adverse developments in
these sectors could negatively affect the abilities of these borrowers to
repay their loans.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Bank's earnings depend to a great extent upon the level of net interest
income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and
investments and the interest expense paid on its interest-bearing liabilities,
consisting principally of deposits. Although the Company believes that the
maturities of the Bank's assets are well balanced in relation to maturities of
liabilities (gap management), gap management is not an exact science. Rather,
it involves estimates as to how changes in the general level of interest rates
will affect the yields earned on assets and the rates paid on liabilities.
Moreover, rate changes can vary depending upon the level of rates and
competitive factors. From time to time, maturities of assets and liabilities
are not balanced, and a rapid increase or decrease in interest rates could
have an adverse effect on net interest margins and results of operations of
the Company.
REGULATORY RISK
The banking industry is heavily regulated. These regulations are primarily
intended to protect the federal insurance funds and depositors, not
shareholders. The Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), while the Company is subject to
regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve. The burden imposed by
federal and state regulations puts banks at a competitive disadvantage
compared to less regulated competitors such as finance companies, mortgage
banking companies and leasing companies. The banking industry continues to
lose market share to its competitors. In addition,
17
<PAGE>
legislative reactions to the problems of the thrift industry have added to the
regulatory burden on banks and cause them to incur increased operating
expenses. See "Description of the Preferred Securities--Redemption or
Exchange--Tax Event Redemption, Capital Treatment Event Redemption or
Investment Company Event Redemption."
DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
The ability of the Company to pay amounts due on the Subordinated Debentures
is largely dependent on its receipt of dividends from the Bank. The amount of
dividends that the Bank may pay to the Company is limited by various federal
laws and by the regulations promulgated by their respective primary
regulators, which impose certain minimum capital requirements.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Securities will be used by SBI
Capital to purchase the Subordinated Debentures from the Company. The net
proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Subordinated Debentures are
estimated to be $20,630,000 (or $23,762,000 if the Underwriter's over-
allotment option is exercised in full) after deducting the Underwriter's
compensation and estimated expenses. The proceeds of the Offering will
strengthen the Company's capital base and position the Bank to continue to
remain a "well capitalized" institution under federal banking regulations,
which will allow the Company to pursue future growth opportunities through
expansion of its existing businesses and possible acquisitions. The Company,
however, does not have any specific plans, arrangements, agreements or
understandings with any other person for any acquisitions at the current time.
The Company proposes to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes,
including use in the Bank's lending and investment activities, and possible
redemption, in whole or in part, of the Series A Preferred Stock. Unlike
interest payments on the Subordinated Debentures, dividends on the Series A
Preferred Stock are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. Any
redemption of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, which first becomes
redeemable on September 1, 1998, would reduce the capital base of the Company.
Pending such uses, the net proceeds from the sale of the Subordinated
Debentures may be invested in a variety of interest-bearing assets, including,
but not limited to, government securities, federal funds transactions,
interest-bearing deposits in other banks and similar investments, and
securities, issued by other financial institutions and companies, with terms
similar to those of the Preferred Securities.
MARKET FOR THE PREFERRED SECURITIES
The Preferred Securities have been approved for quotation on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "OKSBO". Stifel, Nicolaus & Company,
Incorporated has informed the Company that it presently intends to make a
market in the Preferred Securities. There can be no assurance, however, that
an active and liquid trading market will develop for the Preferred Securities,
even if approval for listing is obtained, or, if developed, that such a market
will continue. The offering price and distribution rate have been determined
by negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter, and the offering
price of the Preferred Securities may not be indicative of the market price
following the offering. See "Underwriting."
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
SBI Capital will be treated, for financial reporting purposes, as a
subsidiary of the Company and, accordingly, the accounts of SBI Capital will
be included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The
Preferred Securities will be presented as a separate category of long-term
debt in the consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company under
the caption "Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in the Company's
Subordinated Debentures," and appropriate disclosures about the Preferred
Securities, the Guarantee and the Subordinated Debentures will be included in
the notes to consolidated financial statements. The Company will record
Distributions payable on the Preferred Securities as an expense in the
consolidated statements of operations for financial reporting purposes.
18
<PAGE>
All future reports of the Company filed under the Exchange Act will (a)
present the Trust Securities issued by SBI Capital on the statement of
financial condition as a separate category of long-term debt entitled
"Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in the Company's Subordinated
Debentures," (b) include in a footnote to the financial statements disclosure
that the sole assets of SBI Capital are the Subordinated Debentures (including
the outstanding principal amount, interest rate and maturity date of such
Subordinated Debentures), and (c) include in a footnote to the financial
statements disclosure that the Company owns all of the Common Securities of
SBI Capital, the sole assets of SBI Capital are the Subordinated Debentures,
and the back-up obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and
unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of SBI Capital under
the Preferred Securities.

CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth (i) the consolidated capitalization of the
Company at March 31, 1997 and (ii) the consolidated capitalization of the
Company on an as adjusted basis giving effect to the issuance of the Preferred
Securities offered by SBI Capital hereby and the application by the Company of
the net proceeds therefrom, as if the sale of such securities had been
consummated on March 31, 1997, and assuming the Underwriter's over-allotment
option was not exercised. At March 31, 1997, the Company did not have any
long- term debt.

(1) In connection with the issuance of the guaranteed preferred beneficial
interests in the Company's Subordinated Debentures, the Company estimates
it will incur expenses of $1,120,000 (including Underwriter's compensation
of $870,000). The Subordinated Debentures will mature on July 31, 2027,
which date may be, if certain conditions are met, (a) shortened to a date
not earlier than July 31, 2002, or (b) extended to a date not later than
July 31, 2036.
(2) The leverage ratio is Tier 1 capital divided by quarterly average total
assets less intangibles.
(3) The total risk-based capital ratio, as adjusted, is computed including the
total estimated net proceeds from the sale of the Preferred Securities.
Federal Reserve guidelines limit the amount of the Preferred Securities
and cumulative perpetual preferred stock included in Tier 1 capital to an
aggregate of 25% of Tier 1 capital, and accordingly the leverage and Tier
1 capital ratios, as adjusted, are computed excluding the Preferred
Securities and $1,522,000 of Series A Preferred Stock.
The Federal Reserve has allowed cumulative preferred stock meeting certain
criteria and issued by subsidiaries of bank holding companies to be included
as Tier 1 capital for purposes of regulatory capital calculations, up to a
maximum, along with other cumulative preferred stock issued by the bank
holding company, of 25% of Tier 1 capital. The Company believes the Preferred
Securities will meet the Federal Reserve's criteria for inclusion in Tier 1
capital, subject to such 25% limitation.

THE COMPANY
Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is a one-bank holding company
headquartered in Stillwater, Oklahoma, engaged in providing commercial and
consumer banking services through its sole subsidiary, Stillwater National
Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank"). The Company has six full-service banking
offices, two of which are located in each of Stillwater and Tulsa, Oklahoma,
and one each in Oklahoma City and Chickasha, Oklahoma, and one loan production
office in Oklahoma City. Until May 1997, the Bank maintained a second loan
production office in Tulsa. The Company pursues a decentralized community
banking strategy through three regional divisions--the Stillwater Division,
the Central Oklahoma Division (which includes Oklahoma City and Chickasha) and
the Tulsa Division--that offer commercial, consumer and real estate lending
services and retail and commercial deposit products in their market areas. The
Stillwater Division of the Bank serves the Stillwater market as a full-service
community bank emphasizing both commercial and consumer lending. The Central
Oklahoma Division and the Tulsa Division each have followed a more focused
marketing strategy, targeting managers and professionals and Oklahoma-based
businesses for lending and offering more specialized services. Each regional
division is managed by a senior officer with substantial flexibility over
credit and pricing decisions. In addition to the services offered through the
regional divisions, the Bank offers credit card, student and mortgage lending
services throughout the State of Oklahoma. The principal executive offices of
the Company are located at 608 South Main Street, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74074,
and its telephone number is (405) 372-2230.
The Bank was founded in Stillwater and is currently in its 103rd year of
operation. The Company began offering loans in Oklahoma City in 1982 and in
Tulsa in 1985 by establishing loan production offices in these markets. The
Company's banking strategy includes the offering of multiple commercial and
consumer services to local businesses and their primary employees as well as
to other managers and professionals living and working in the Company's market
areas. Working within the branching limitations imposed by Oklahoma law, the
Company has developed a marketing strategy that does not rely on an extensive
branch network to deliver financial services to its target markets. The
Company's high customer service philosophy includes offering an array of
financial services, loan officers who often meet at the customer's home or
place of business to close loans and the use of third-party courier services
to collect commercial deposits.
Pursuant to the Company's decentralized approach to banking, the Company's
regional Division Managers, each of whom has significant lending experience,
exercise substantial flexibility in credit and pricing decisions. The Company
has designed and developed management information systems and loan review
policies which senior management uses to review and monitor the origination
and maturation of the loan portfolio. The Company believes this decentralized
management approach, coupled with the continuity of service of its senior
officers and its management information systems, enables the Company to
develop long-term customer relationships, maintain high quality service and
respond quickly to customer needs.
The Company offers a wide variety of commercial and consumer lending and
deposit services. The commercial loans offered by the Company include (i)
commercial real estate loans, (ii) working capital and other commercial loans,
(iii) construction loans, and (iv) Small Business Administration ("SBA")
guaranteed loans. Consumer lending services include (i) government-guaranteed
student loans, (ii) residential real estate loans and mortgage banking
services, (iii) credit card loans, and (iv) personal lines of credit and other
installment loans. The Company also offers deposit and personal banking
services, including (i) commercial deposit services such as lock-box services,
commercial checking and other deposit accounts and merchant credit card
services, (ii) retail deposit services such as certificates of deposit, money
market accounts, checking accounts, NOW accounts, savings accounts and
Automatic Teller Machine ("ATM") access, and (iii) personal brokerage and
trust services.
Additional financial and other information regarding the Company and the
Bank and their respective businesses is presented herein under the caption
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," in the Company's consolidated financial statements included
herein, and in the documents incorporated by reference herein. Prospective

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONAND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements. Portions of this Management's Discussion and
Analysis contain forward-looking statements, including statements of goals,
intentions, and expectations, regarding or based upon general economic
conditions, interest rates, developments in national and local markets, and
other matters, and which, by their nature, are subject to significant
uncertainties. Because of these uncertainties and the assumptions on which
statements in this Prospectus are based, the actual future results may differ
materially from those indicated in this report. Past results also are not
necessarily indicative of future performance.
The following presents management's discussion and analysis of the Company's
consolidated financial condition and results of operations at the dates and
for the periods indicated. This discussion should be read in conjunction with
"Selected Consolidated Financial Data," the Company's consolidated financial
statements and the accompanying notes, and other financial data appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.
GENERAL
Over the past five years, the Company has achieved significant growth in
assets. From 1992 through 1996, the Company's loans grew at a 27% compound
annual growth rate, and increased by $31.9 million, or 5%, in the first three
months of 1997. Using the capital raised in the public offering of its Series
A Preferred Stock in 1995, and increased funding from deposit growth, the
Company increased the Bank's loan portfolio by 21% during 1996. The Company's
ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans receivable and other real estate
declined from 2.48% at December 31, 1992 to 1.04% at December 31, 1996. At
March 31, 1997, the Company's ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans
receivable and other real estate was 1.11%. The ratio of net loan charge-offs
to average loans receivable has declined from 0.51% in 1992 to 0.31% in 1996,
but increased to an annualized rate of 1.00% for the three months ended March
31, 1997. The increase in the first quarter of 1997 is largely attributable to
the impairment of a large commercial loan in that quarter. See "Nonperforming
Loans" and "Allowance for Loan Losses."
The Company has also had a history of earnings growth. Net income and net
income available to common shareholders grew at compound annual growth rates
of 21% and 14%, respectively, from 1992 to 1996. During this period, the
Company's net interest income grew at a 21% compound annual growth rate.
Although net interest income grew by 15% during the three months ended March
31, 1997 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996, net income for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 was significantly less than the prior year's
period, primarily as a result of a $2.1 million increase in the provision for
loan losses. This increase in the provision for the first quarter of 1997 was
the result of the impairment of a $1.9 million commercial loan in the first
quarter of 1997 and the Company's regular evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. The Company's annual return on average common
equity has averaged 15.33% over the five-year period from 1992 through 1996.
For the five-year period from 1992 to 1996, the Company's average annual
return on average assets was 1.01%. The annualized return on average equity
and the annualized return on average assets for the three months ended March
31, 1997 were substantially less than for the prior year's period. Net income,
net income available to common shareholders, and returns on average assets and
average common equity are expected to be less in 1997 than in 1996 as a result
of the decline in income for the first quarter of 1997. See "Summary of
Earnings."
The Company's growth over the past five years reflects growth in the
Oklahoma economy and has been aided by the consolidation in the Oklahoma
banking industry which has disrupted long-standing lending relationships and
resulted in fewer independent Oklahoma banks addressing the Bank's target
market niches of Oklahoma-based businesses and professionals. The
consolidation within the Oklahoma banking industry has particularly aided the
Bank's expansion in the metropolitan areas of Oklahoma City and Tulsa where
the Company has been able to attract experienced lending officers. The
Company's future loan growth is subject to a variety of economic and
competitive considerations and no assurance can be given that the Company's
loan portfolio will continue to grow consistently at historic rates.

<PAGE>
The Company's net interest income and net interest margin have benefited
from a high ratio of loans to deposits. Management's funding philosophy has
been to increase deposits from retail and commercial deposit sources as
necessary to fund loans within the limitations of the Bank's capital base. The
Company has operated for the past five years with average loan-to-deposit
ratios ranging from 73% to 83%, and had an average loan to deposit ratio of
85% for the first quarter of 1997. Although a high loan-to-deposit ratio
potentially limits the liquidity available to the institution, the Company has
available sources of liquidity it believes adequate to meet its requirements.
See "Liquidity."
SUMMARY OF EARNINGS
Net Income
Three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. For the first quarter of 1997,
the Company recorded net income of $460,000, 76% less than the $1.9 million
recorded for the first quarter of 1996. Net income available to common
shareholders, after deduction of dividends on preferred stock, was $63,000
($0.02 per share), compared with $1.5 million ($0.41 per share) for the first
quarter of 1996. The substantial decrease in quarterly earnings was primarily
the result of a $2.1 million increase in the provision for loan losses.
Average common shares outstanding were 3,766,172 and 3,756,861, respectively.
During the first quarter of 1997, the Company received information regarding
events that adversely affected a borrower's ability to fully repay its
commercial loan, which had a carrying amount of $1.9 million. As a result of
this event, and management's regular evaluation of the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses relative to other loans in the portfolio, the
Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.0 million for the first
quarter of 1997, compared with a provision of $875,000 for the first quarter
of 1996. See "Provision for Loan Losses."
Net interest income increased $1.1 million, or 15%, for the first quarter of
1997 compared to the same period in 1996. This increase in net interest
income, as well as an $893,000, or 83%, reduction in taxes, offset the $2.1
million, or 243%, increase in provision for loan losses, a $1.1 million, or
22%, increase in other expenses and a $188,000, or 12% reduction in other
income. For the first quarter of 1997, the return on average total equity was
2.86% and the return on average common equity was 0.53% compared to a 12.77%
return on average total equity and a 14.18% return on average common equity
for the first quarter of 1996.
Years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Net income for 1996 was $7.6
million, a 24% increase over the $6.1 million earned in 1995. The increase in
net income during 1996 was due principally to a $5.4 million, or 20%, increase
in net interest income. Net income for 1996 also benefited from a $1.5
million, or 30% increase in other income. These increases in income offset a
$3.3 million, or 17%, increase in other expenses, a $1.1 million, or 55%,
increase in the provision for loan losses, and a $970,000, or 29%, increase in
taxes on income. Net income available to common shareholders, after dividends
on the Series A Preferred Stock, was $6.0 million, an increase of $539,000, or
10%, over 1995. Net income per common share also increased by 10% to $1.59 per
share for 1996 from $1.44 per share for 1995. Average common shares
outstanding were 3,760,370 and 3,755,228 for 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Net income for 1995 was $6.1
million, an 18% increase over the $5.1 million earned in 1994. The principal
contributor to the Company's increase in net income during 1995 was a $5.4
million, or 26%, increase in net interest income. This increase in income was
offset by a $3.5 million, or 21%, increase in other expenses, a $582,000, or
21%, increase in taxes on income, a $247,000, or 5%, decrease in other income,
and a $200,000, or 11%, increase in the provision for loan losses. Net income
available to common shareholders, after dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock, was $5.4 million, an increase of $282,000, or 5.5%, over 1994. Net
income per common share increased by 5% in 1995 to $1.44 from $1.37 per share
for 1994. Average common shares outstanding were the same for both periods.
Net Interest Income
Three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Net interest income increased to
$8.6 million for the first quarter of 1997 from $7.5 million for the same
period in 1996 as continued growth in the loan portfolio enabled
25
<PAGE>
the Company to post a $2.8 million increase in interest income that exceeded
the $1.7 million increase in interest expense during the period. Yields on the
Company's interest-earning assets declined by 1 basis point, and the rates
paid on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities increased by 1 basis point,
resulting in a reduction in the interest rate spread to 3.48% for the first
quarter of 1997 from 3.50% for the first quarter of 1996. The ratio of average
interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities declined to
116.46% for the first quarter of 1997 from 119.78% for the first quarter of
1996, as a substantial portion of the increase in loans was funded by time
deposits.
Total interest income for the first quarter of 1997 was $17.9 million, up
18% from $15.1 million during the same period in 1996. The principal factor
providing greater interest income was the $128.8 million, or 24%, increase in
the volume of average loans outstanding. The Company's loan yields declined to
9.40% for the first quarter of 1997 from 9.55% in 1996. During the same
period, the Company's yield on investment securities increased to 6.19% from
6.12%.
Total interest expense for the first quarter of 1997 was $9.3 million, an
increase of 22% from $7.6 million for the same period in 1996. The increase in
total interest expense can be attributed to an increase in average interest-
bearing liabilities of $131.3 million, or 23%. During the same period, the
rates paid on average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 5.31% from
5.30%, as a 15 basis point decline in the average rate paid on time deposits
(to 5.71%) was more than offset by a 64 basis point increase (to 4.14%) in the
average rate paid on money market accounts.
Years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Net interest income for 1996
increased to $31.8 million from $26.5 million in 1995, primarily as a result
of the increase in the Company's loan portfolio. Yields on the Company's
interest-earning assets declined by only 2 basis points during 1996, and the
rates paid on the Company's interest-bearing liabilities declined by 10 basis
points, resulting in an increase in the interest rate spread to 3.51% for 1996
from 3.43% for 1995. Net interest income benefited from an increase in the
ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing
liabilities to 118.30% for 1996 from 117.55% for 1995. The improvement in this
ratio reflects an increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, as well as
an increase in the Company's average shareholders' equity from the sale of
Series A Preferred Stock in July 1995 and retention of earnings.
Interest income for 1996 was $64.7 million, up from $55.0 million in 1995,
primarily as a result of growth in interest-earning assets, which offset the
slight decline in yields. Yields on total interest-earning assets were 8.78%
in 1996 and 8.80% in 1995. Loan interest and fee income increased $9.6 million
because the greater volume of loans outstanding more than offset the effect of
the 14 basis point decline in loan yields. The Company generated growth of
$107.5 million in average loans to $580.6 million in 1996 from $473.1 million
in 1995, a 23% increase. Interest income on investment securities increased by
$186,000 despite lower yields earned, due to an increase in the size of the
investment portfolio. The yield on the investment portfolio declined 8 basis
points. A decrease in interest income on federal funds sold and other short-
term investments was caused by slightly lower volumes in those areas. The
increase in interest-earning assets was funded by growth in deposits at the
Company's existing branches, the proceeds from the July 1995 offering and
retention of earnings.
Total interest expense for 1996 was $32.8 million, a $4.3 million increase
from $28.5 million in 1995. The increase in interest expense was primarily due
to a $93.5 million, or 18%, increase in average interest-bearing deposits from
$527.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $620.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 1996. Growth in average time deposits of $85.7
million, or 21%, accounted for most of the increase in average interest-
bearing deposits, although average NOW and money market accounts also
increased. Use of federal funds declined significantly for the year. Rates
paid on interest-bearing liabilities declined to 5.27% in 1996 from 5.37% in
1995.
Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Net interest income increased to
$26.5 million for 1995 from $21.0 million in 1994 as continued growth in the
loan portfolio enabled the Company to post a $17.3 million increase in
interest income that significantly exceeded the $11.9 million increase in
interest expense during the year. Competitive factors and the Bank's use of
time deposits to fund loan growth, however, continued to put pressure on the
Company's net interest margin, which declined to 4.23% for fiscal 1995
compared to 4.34% for
26
<PAGE>
1994. Yields on the Company's interest-earning assets increased by 102 basis
points during 1995, and the rates paid on the Company's interest-bearing
liabilities increased by 131 basis points, resulting in a reduction in the
interest rate spread to 3.43% for fiscal 1995 from 3.72% for 1994. The Company
attributed the narrowing of the spread to the significant increases in time
deposits during recent periods. The Bank funded its growth in interest-
earning assets with a higher percentage of time deposits, on which it paid
higher interest rates than transaction accounts and for which it encountered
greater competition. The Company's net interest margin was also adversely
affected by a decline in the excess of earning assets over interest-bearing
liabilities as the Company's asset growth continued to outstrip the growth in
funding from noninterest-bearing sources, notwithstanding the substantial
increase in shareholders' equity from the sale of Preferred Stock completed in
July 1995. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-
bearing liabilities declined to 117.55% for 1995 from 118.05% for 1994.
Total interest income for 1995 was $55.0 million, up 46% from $37.7 million
during the same period in 1994. The principal factors providing greater
interest income were the $116.8 million, or 33%, increase in the volume of
average loans outstanding and the increase in yields earned on loans and
investment securities. The Company's loan yields increased to 9.64% for 1995
from 8.44% in 1994. At the same time, the Company's yield on investment
securities increased to 6.20% from 6.01%.
Total interest expense for 1995 was $28.5 million, an increase of 72% from
$16.6 million for 1994, due to an increase in average interest-bearing
liabilities of $122.0 million, or 30%, and an increase in rates paid on
average interest-bearing liabilities to 5.37% from 4.06%. The increase in
rates on interest-bearing liabilities resulted from the increasing rate
environment and the Company's increased use of time deposits. As a percentage
of average total deposits, average time deposits increased to 70% for 1995
compared to 66% for 1994. The increase in the Bank's time deposits has
generally involved deposits with maturities of six months to one year.
CHANGES IN INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE/VOLUME AND RATE VARIANCES
The following table indicates the changes in interest income and interest
expense that are attributable to changes in average volume and average rates,
in comparison with the same period in the preceding year. The change in
interest due to the combined rate-volume variance has been allocated to rate
and volume changes in proportion to the absolute dollar amounts of the changes
in each.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company makes provisions for loan losses in amounts deemed necessary to
maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. The adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses is determined by management based upon a
number of factors including, among others, analytical reviews of loan loss
experience in relationship to outstanding loans and commitments; unfunded loan
commitments; problem and nonperforming loans and other loans presenting credit
concerns; trends in loan growth, portfolio composition and quality; use of
appraisals to estimate the value of collateral; and management's judgment with
respect to current and expected
29
<PAGE>
economic conditions and their impact on the existing loan portfolio. Changes
in the allowance may occur because of changing economic conditions, and
economic prospects or the financial position of borrowers. Based upon its
review, management established an allowance of $8.5 million, or 1.25% of total
loans, at March 31, 1997, compared to an allowance of $7.1 million, or 1.11%
of total loans, at December 31, 1996, and an allowance of $5.8 million, or
1.09% of total loans, at December 31, 1995. During fiscal years 1996, 1995 and
1994, the provisions for loan losses were $3.1 million, $2.0 million and $1.8
million, respectively. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company received
information regarding events that adversely affected a borrower's ability to
fully repay its commercial loan, which had a carrying amount of $1.9 million.
As a result of this event, and management's regular evaluation of the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses relative to other loans in the portfolio, the
Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $3.0 million for the first
quarter of 1997, compared with a provision of $875,000 for the first quarter
of 1996. See "Net Income" and "Financial Condition, Capital Resources and
Liquidity--Allowance for Loan Losses."

The Company has sought to develop sources of noninterest income through
credit card lending, student lending and mortgage banking, in addition to
traditional deposit and loan service charges and fees.
Three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Other income declined by
$188,000 for the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter of 1996
primarily as a result of a $122,000 decrease in gain on sales of loans
receivable and a $122,000 reduction in gain on sales of investment securities.
The decrease in the gain on sales of loans receivable in the first quarter of
1997 was primarily the result of lower sales of guaranteed student loans. A
gain on sale of investment securities occurred during the first quarter of
1996 when $4.6 million in Agency securities classified as "held to maturity"
and $7.7 million in Agency securities classified as "available for sale,"
originally purchased at a discount, were called prior to their stated maturity
date. No securities were sold or called during the first three months of 1997.
Years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Total other income increased by $1.5
million for fiscal year 1996 compared to 1995 primarily due to increased gains
on sales of student loans and residential mortgage loans, increased gains on
sales of investment securities and increased service charges attributable to
its higher deposit base. During 1996, the Company sold $46.7 million in
student loans compared to $40.2 million in such sales during 1995. The Company
also was able to increase its gain on sales of student loans by packaging its
loans in a manner than allowed it to obtain a higher premium from SLMA. The
principal balance of residential mortgage loans sold was $45.1 million during
1996 compared to $33.6 million during 1995.
The gain on sales of investment securities during 1996 occurred when $4.6
million in Agency securities classified as "held to maturity", and $11.2
million in Agency securities classified as "available for sale", originally
purchased at a discount, were called prior to their stated maturity date, and
$150,000 in corporate stock classified as "available for sale" was sold.
30
<PAGE>
Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Total other income declined by
$247,000 for fiscal 1995 compared to 1994 primarily due to decreased gains on
sales of student loans into the secondary market. This decrease was partially
offset by increased gains on sales of residential mortgage loans and increased
service charges attributable to its higher deposit base. During 1995, the
Company sold $40.7 million in student loans compared to $59.6 million in such
sales during 1994. Sales of residential mortgage loans declined in 1995 to
$34.0 million from $47.5 million in 1994, reflecting the decline in
refinancing activity during the comparatively higher interest rate environment
which generally prevailed during 1995. Residential mortgage loans were
generally sold with servicing released during fiscal 1995 which increased the
gain on such sales but may reduce future servicing income which is included in
other noninterest income.
During 1995, a loss on sales of investment securities occurred when the Bank
sold securities classified as "held to maturity". The Company concluded that
these securities were sold at a time near enough to their maturity dates that
interest rate risk was substantially eliminated as a pricing factor.

</TABLE>
The increase in the Company's other expenses during the past several years
reflects the Company's growth in asset size during this period. The Company
continues to experience increases in both salaries and employee benefits and
occupancy expense as it develops its markets.
Three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The Company's other expenses
increased $1.1 million for the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first
quarter of 1996. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in
salaries and employee benefits, which increased $659,000 as a result of a 21%
increase in staffing. The increase in staffing is related to the expansion of
the Company's asset and deposit bases. In addition, general and administrative
expenses increased $287,000 and occupancy expense increased $284,000 compared
to 1996. The increase in occupancy expense was due primarily to the leasing of
additional office space and the depreciation on furniture and equipment
purchased to furnish those new offices. These increases were offset by
reductions in both FDIC and other insurance and credit card expenses.
Years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. The Company's other expenses
increased $3.3 million, or 17%, for fiscal year 1996 compared to fiscal year
1995. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and
employee benefits, which increased $2.1 million, or 21%, as a result of a 20%
increase in staffing. The increase in staffing is related to the expansion of
the Company's asset and deposit bases. In addition, occupancy expense
increased $591,000, due primarily to the leasing of additional office space
and the depreciation on furniture and equipment purchased to furnish those new
offices, and general and administrative expense increased $759,000. Included
in general and administrative expense was $139,000 in expenses related to an
unsuccessful effort to establish additional branches.
Despite the increase in the Company's deposit base, FDIC and other insurance
for 1996 increased only $3,000 compared to 1995. Regular deposit insurance
premium rates decreased beginning July 1, 1995 as the
31
<PAGE>
Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), of which the Bank is a member, achieved its
statutory reserve ratio. However, legislation enacted by Congress required
that the Bank pay a one-time special assessment of $436,000 to the FDIC with
respect to deposits it acquired from a savings association in 1991. After the
payment of this special assessment, the insurance premiums related to these
acquired deposits were also reduced.
Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. The Company's other expenses
increased by $3.5 million, or 21%, during 1995 compared to 1994. This increase
was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and employee benefits,
which increased by $2.0 million, or 25%, as a result of a 22% increase in
staffing. The increase in staffing is related to the expansion of the
Company's asset and deposit bases. In addition, general and administrative
expense increased by $1.0 million and occupancy expense increased by $571,000
compared to 1994. These increases were offset by a $200,000 reduction in FDIC
and other insurance expense. The increase in occupancy expense was due
primarily to the leasing of additional office space in Tulsa and Oklahoma City
and the depreciation on furniture and equipment purchased to furnish those new
offices. The reduction in FDIC and other insurance was due to a reduction in
premiums as the BIF achieved its statutory reserve ratio.
TAXES ON INCOME
The Company's income tax expense for the first three months of 1997 and 1996
was $186,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. The Company's income tax expense
for fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $4.3 million, $3.3 million and $2.8
million, respectively. The increases in taxes on income during 1996 and 1995
reflect the Company's higher earnings. The Company's effective tax rates have
been lower than the 34% to 35% federal and 6% state statutory rates primarily
because of tax-exempt income on municipal obligations and loans.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Lending
Loans include commercial real estate, commercial, student, residential real
estate, construction and credit card and other consumer loans. Interest earned
on the Bank's loan portfolio is its primary source of income. Loans were
$676.5 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $31.9 million, or 5%,
compared to December 31, 1996. The Company experienced increases in the
categories of commercial mortgages ($12.5 million, or 6%), commercial loans
($6.1 million, or 3%), real estate construction loans ($4.8 million, or 9%),
government-guaranteed student loans ($4.1 million, or 7%), other consumer
loans ($3.5 million, or 11%), and residential mortgages ($2.6 million, or 4%).
These increases were offset by a $1.7 million, or 8% reduction in credit card
loans. The allowance for loan losses increased by $1.3 million, or 19%, from
December 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997. At March 31, 1997, the allowance for loan
losses was $8.5 million, or 1.25% of total loans, compared to $7.1 million, or
1.11% of total loans, at December 31, 1996. Although the Bank's legal lending
limit to any one borrower was $10.4 million at December 31, 1996, the Bank's
lending policy generally limits loans to any one borrower to 90% of the Bank's
legal lending limit, although exceptions are made from time to time. The
Bank's largest single borrower, net of participations, at March 31, 1997 had
outstanding loans of $9.8 million.

Nonperforming Loans. The Bank maintains a loan review department, which
reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer. The loan review department
does not have any lending authority. The Bank has retained, since late 1993,
an outside consultant to advise the loan review department and assist in the
loan review function. The loan review department recommends credits to the
Executive Loan Committee for inclusion on the watch list which is reviewed by
the Loan Quality Assurance Committee of the Board of Directors monthly. With
the concurrence of the Executive Loan Committee, credits also may be
recommended to the Loan Quality Assurance Committee for inclusion on the watch
list by the Chief Lending Officer, loan managers and individual loan officers.
The recognition of interest income on loans receivable is discontinued when,
in management's judgment, the interest will not be collectible in the normal
course of business. Generally, the Bank does not accrue interest on any asset
(i) which is maintained on a cash basis because of deterioration in the
financial condition of the borrower, (ii) for which payment in full of
principal or interest is not expected, or (iii) upon which principal or
interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more unless the asset
is both well secured and in the process of collection. The Company does not
have any material amounts of interest-earning assets which would have been
included in nonaccrual, past due or restructured loans if such assets were
loans.
Nonperforming loans consist of loans on a nonaccrual basis, loans which are
contractually past due 90 days or more, and loans, the original terms of which
have been restructured. Of the amounts included in nonperforming loans at
March 31, 1997, approximately $723,000, or approximately 10% of the total
loans reported as nonperforming, are guaranteed by the federal government or
an agency thereof, or by a government sponsored corporation. The following
table sets forth the amounts of nonperforming assets at the end of the periods
indicated.

The principal balance of loans for which accrual of interest has been
discontinued totaled approximately $4.7 million at March 31, 1997. During the
first three months of 1997, $103,000 in interest income was received on
nonaccruing loans. If interest on those loans had been accrued, total interest
income of $171,000 would have been recorded.
35
<PAGE>
During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, gross interest income of
$398,000 and $48,000, respectively, would have been recorded on loans
accounted for on a nonaccrual or restructured basis if such loans had been
current throughout the period. Interest on such loans included in income
during such periods amounted to approximately $37,000 and $367,000,
respectively.
Those performing loans considered potential problem loans, as defined and
identified by management, amount to approximately $20.7 million at March 31,
1997, compared to $23.0 million at December 31, 1996. Although these are loans
where known information about the borrowers' possible credit problems cause
management to have doubts as to their ability to comply with the present loan
repayment terms, most are well collateralized and are not believed to present
significant risk of loss. These loans are subject to continuing management
attention and are considered by management in determining the level of the
allowance for loan losses. The Company's loan portfolio, however, contains a
significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans with
relatively large balances. The deterioration of one or a few of such loans may
cause a significant increase in potential problem loans or in nonperforming
loans. Potential problem loans include $3.2 million in loans to individuals
and businesses in the healthcare industry and $1.8 million in restaurant
loans. See "Loan Concentrations."
No interest-bearing assets disclosed above, other than loans, were
classified as nonperforming at March 31, 1997 or December 31, 1996, or were
recognized by management as potential problem assets based upon known
information about possible credit problems of the borrower or issuer.
Loan Concentrations. The Bank extends commercial and consumer credit
primarily to customers in the State of Oklahoma which subjects the loan
portfolio to the general economic conditions within this area. At March 31,
1997, and December 31, 1996 and 1995, substantially all of the Bank's loans,
except for credit cards, were collateralized with real estate, inventory,
accounts receivable and/or other assets or guaranteed by agencies of the
United States Government.
Loans to individuals and businesses in the healthcare industry totaled
approximately $79 million, or 12% of total loans at March 31, 1997. Other
notable concentrations of credit within the loan portfolio at March 31, 1997
include $23.8 million, or 4% of total loans, in hotel/motel loans, $23.4
million, or 3% of total loans, in residential construction loans and $15.8
million, or 2% of total loans, in restaurant loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation
reserve established by management in an amount it deems adequate to provide
for losses in the loan portfolio. Management assesses the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses based upon a number of factors including, among
others, analytical reviews of loan loss experience in relationship to
outstanding loans and commitments; unfunded loan commitments; problem and
nonperforming loans and other loans presenting credit concerns; trends in loan
growth, portfolio composition and quality; use of appraisals to estimate the
value of collateral; and management's judgment with respect to current and
expected economic conditions and their impact on the existing loan portfolio.
The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions for loan losses
charged to expense. Charge-offs of loan amounts determined by management to be
uncollectible or impaired decrease the allowance and recoveries of previous
charge-offs, if any, are added to the allowance. Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses was adequate at December 31, 1996 and March 31,
1997.
The amount of the allowance deemed appropriate by management, and the levels
of loan charge-offs and nonperforming loans, are affected by changing economic
conditions and economic prospects and the financial position of borrowers.
Management strives to carefully monitor credit quality and the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses, and to identify loans that may become
nonperforming. At any time, however, there are loans included in the portfolio
that will result in losses to the Company, but that have not been identified
as nonperforming or potential problem loans. Because the loan portfolio
contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans
with relatively large balances, the unexpected deterioration of one or a few
of such loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming assets, and
lead to a material increase in charge-offs and the provision for loan losses.
Since problems with commercial and commercial real estate
36
<PAGE>
loans do not necessarily appear early in their lives, the Company may
experience increased levels of nonperforming loans and loan charge-offs as the
relatively large volume of recently originated loans mature. In addition, the
OCC, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews the
Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to
recognize additions to the allowance based upon judgments of the OCC examiners
about information available to them at the time of their examination.
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosure on January 1, 1995.
The allowance for loan losses related to loans that are identified for
evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 114 is based on discounted cash flows
using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the
collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. The amount of impairment
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 114 did not differ materially from
amounts previously provided. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it
requires material estimates, including the amounts and timing of future cash
flows expected to be received on impaired loans, that may be susceptible to
significant change. The allowance for loan losses is established through a
provision for loan losses charged to expense. A loan is considered to be
impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that
the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. All of the Company's nonaccrual loans
have been defined as impaired loans. In addition, SFAS No. 114 does not affect
the comparability of the credit risk disclosures.
Based upon its review, management established an allowance of $8.5 million,
or 1.25% of total loans, at March 31, 1997, compared to an allowance of $7.1
million, or 1.11% of total loans, at December 31, 1996, and an allowance of
$5.8 million, or 1.09% of total loans, at December 31, 1995. In establishing
the level of the allowance for March 31, 1997, management considered a number
of factors that tend to indicate a potential need for an increased allowance
level, including the increased risk inherent in the amount of commercial and
commercial real estate loans, which are viewed as entailing greater risk than
certain other categories of loans, recent charge-off history, and the amount
of large loans and of identified nonperforming loans at March 31, 1997, versus
December 31, 1996. At March 31, 1997, total nonperforming loans were $7.1
million, or 1.04% of total loans, compared to $6.6 million, or 1.03% of total
loans, at December 31, 1996. Management also considered other factors,
including the levels of types of credits, such as residential mortgage loans,
deemed to be of relatively low risk, that tended to indicate the potential
need for a lower allowance. The Company determined the level of the allowance
for loan losses at March 31, 1997 was appropriate as a result of balancing
these and other factors it deemed relevant to the adequacy of the allowance.
Management conducted a similar analysis in order to determine the appropriate
allowance at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994.
In establishing this level of allowance for December 31, 1996, management
considered a number of factors that tend to indicate a potential need for an
increased allowance level, including the increased level of nonperforming
loans at December 31, 1996 versus December 31, 1995, the increased risk
associated with the level of real estate construction loans (8.4% of the loan
portfolio at December 31, 1996 and 6.2% of the portfolio at December 31,
1995), which are viewed as entailing greater risk than certain other
categories of loans. Management also considered other factors, including the
levels of types of credits, such as the increased level of residential
mortgage loans, deemed to be of relatively low risk, and the level of loans
which are guaranteed by the federal government, its agencies or federally
sponsored corporations, that tended to indicate the potential need for a lower
allowance. One-to-four family residential mortgage loans were 9.5% of the loan
portfolio at December 31, 1996 versus 8.1% at December 31, 1995. Relatively
lower risk student loans decreased to 9.6% at year-end 1996 from 12.7% the
previous year-end. The level of commercial loans, which comprise the largest
category in the portfolio, remained unchanged at approximately 34% of the
total portfolio at December 31, 1996 and 1995. The level of commercial
mortgage loans, comprising approximately 30% of the year-end portfolio, was
similarly unchanged. Overall, the loan portfolio, before deduction of the
allowance for loan losses, increased by $112.7 million, or 21%, from year-end
1995 to year-end 1996, while the allowance grew by $1.3 million, or 23%. The
Company determined the level of the allowance for loan losses at December 31,
1996 was appropriate, as a result of its balancing these and other factors it
deemed relevant to the adequacy of the allowance.
37
<PAGE>
The Company's ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding
increased to 0.31% for the year ended December 31, 1996 from 0.24% in 1995 and
0.22% in 1994. The 1996 increase in the net charge-off ratio reflected an
increase in commercial real estate mortgage and credit card loan charge-offs
relative to the balances of those loan categories and total loans. The
Company's ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding increased to
1.00%, on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 1997, primarily as a
result of the impairment of the commercial loans described above.
At December 31, 1996, nonperforming loans were $6.6 million, or 1.03% of the
portfolio, compared with $5.3 million, or 0.99% of the portfolio at December
31, 1995. The allowance for loan losses equalled 107% and 110% of
nonperforming loans at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Large changes
in the ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans may occur from period to
period because of variations in the amounts of nonperforming loans, which
depend largely on the condition of a small number of individual loans and
borrowers relative to the total loan portfolio. The $3.9 million increase in
nonaccrual loans from year-end 1995 was mainly the result of the
classification as nonaccrual of a group of related loans with a remaining net
book value of $3.4 million at December 31, 1996 that had been classified as
restructured at December 31, 1995.
At March 31, 1997, impaired loans totaled $4.9 million, and had been
allocated a related allowance for loan losses of $2.3 million. At December 31,
1996 and 1995, impaired loans totaled $4.8 million and $3.3 million, and had
been allocated a related allowance for loan losses of $2.0 million and $1.3
million, respectively.

mortgage-backed securities are based on expected maturities. Expected
maturities will differ from contractual maturities due to unscheduled
repayments and because borrowers on the underlying mortgages may have the
right to call or prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.
The securities of no single issuer (other than the United States or its
agencies), or in the case of securities issued by state and political
subdivisions, no source or group of sources of repayment, accounted for more

</TABLE>
At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Company held mortgage-backed
securities with a book-value of $21.4 million and $23.1 million, respectively,
all of which were collateralized by single-family mortgage loans. It is the
Company's policy to purchase mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal National Mortgage
Association or Fannie Mae ("FNMA"), or the Government National Mortgage
Association or Ginnie Mae ("GNMA"), when such securities can be acquired at
attractive yields, and where the investment characteristics of the securities
complement the Bank's asset/liability management objectives, primarily as to
interest rate adjustments and terms to maturity. FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA
mortgage-backed securities have lower risk weightings, and therefore require
less capital, than residential mortgage loans. Mortgage-backed securities also
may be used as collateral for borrowings and, through repayments, as a source
of liquidity. At March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, the
Company had no investments in privately issued mortgage-backed securities, and
had no mortgage-related securities that were rated "high risk" under
regulatory guidelines.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment at March 31, 1997 was $3.0 million greater than at
December 31, 1996 primarily due to the acquisition of land for a new Tulsa
Banking Center at 15th and Utica to be opened in late 1998. The
41
<PAGE>
Company intends to construct a new facility for its Tulsa operations.
Groundbreaking on this 42,000 square foot building is expected to occur in the
third quarter of 1997, with occupancy anticipated in the third quarter of
1998. When opened, the building will include space for rental to third
parties. The total cost of the building is expected to be $8.0 million. A
substantial portion of these costs will be capitalized and, except for the
cost of the land, will be expensed over the useful life of the property.
Premises and equipment at December 31, 1996 was $3.4 million greater than at
December 31, 1995, primarily due to the acquisition of premises in Chickasha,
Oklahoma and the costs of remodeling existing properties.
DEPOSIT ACTIVITY
The principal sources of funds for the Bank are core deposits (demand
deposits, NOW accounts, money market accounts, savings deposits and
certificates of deposit of less than $100,000) from the local market areas
surrounding each of the Bank's offices. Certificates of deposit of $100,000 or
more, which are also derived primarily from the local market areas of the
Bank's offices, and which are priced comparably to certificates of deposit
below $100,000, also constitute a significant source of funds for the Bank.
The Bank's deposit base includes transaction accounts, time and savings
accounts and accounts which customers use for cash management and which
provide the Bank with a source of fee income and cross-marketing opportunities
as well as a low-cost source of funds. Time and savings accounts, including
money market deposit accounts, also provide a relatively stable and low-cost
source of funding. The largest source of funds for the Bank remains
certificates of deposit.
The Bank offers a variety of cash management services to its commercial
deposit customers including the lock-box collections and deposit
reconciliation and verification. Commercial customers in Tulsa and Oklahoma
City frequently use third-party courier services to deliver deposits which has
allowed the Bank to effectively service these metropolitan areas from its
current branch locations.
The Company's deposits increased by $60.6 million, or 8%, from $753.9
million at December 31, 1996 to $814.5 million at March 31, 1997. This
increase occurred primarily in time deposits, which increased by $49.2
million, or 9%. NOW accounts and money market accounts increased by $2.7
million and $6.6 million, respectively, or 8% each, from December 31, 1996 to
March 31, 1997.
The Bank's deposits grew by $120.0 million, or 19%, during 1996. Deposit
growth during 1996 came mainly from time deposits. The Bank has not solicited
brokered deposits as a source of funds, although its capitalization would
permit such activity on an unrestricted basis under current federal banking
regulations.

accounts at the dates indicated and the weighted average nominal interest
rates on each category of deposit.

BORROWINGS
The Company uses various forms of short-term borrowings for cash management
and liquidity purposes on a limited basis. These forms of borrowings include
federal funds purchases and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank and
Student Loan Marketing Association ("SLMA"). The Bank has approved federal
funds purchase lines with three other banks. The Bank also carries interest-
bearing demand notes issued by the Bank to the U.S. Treasury as a participant
in the Treasury Tax and Loan note option program. The Bank has available a
$20.0 million line of credit from SLMA, borrowings under which would be
secured by student loans. Borrowings under this line of credit may be used for
any permissible corporate purpose.

CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1997 of $64.5 million, increased $3.3
million, or 5%, over March 31, 1996, but decreased by $493,000, or 1%, from
December 31, 1996. The first quarter 1997 decrease was due to reduced earnings
for the first three months of 1997, which were less than dividends declared on
common and preferred stock, and a $303,000 decrease attributable to a change
in the unrealized gain/loss, net of taxes, on investment securities available
for sale. Shareholders' equity increased to $65.0 million at December 31, 1996
from $60.4 million a year earlier. The increase was primarily attributed to
the earnings retained after common and preferred stock dividend payments. Net
unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale (net of tax)
declined to $205,000 at December 31, 1996 compared to $612,000 at December 31,
1995. The Company also increased common stock and related surplus by $170,000
through the issuance of common stock by the dividend reinvestment and employee
stock purchase plans.
The Bank meets the requirements for a well-capitalized institution. See
accompanying notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements for
additional information regarding the Company's and the Bank's actual capital
requirements and ratios.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is measured by a financial institution's ability to raise funds
through deposits, borrowed funds, capital, or the sale of highly marketable
assets such as residential mortgage loans. The Company's portfolio of
government-guaranteed student loans and SBA loans are also readily salable.
Additional sources of liquidity,
44
<PAGE>
including cash flow from the repayment of loans, are also considered in
determining whether liquidity is satisfactory. Liquidity is also achieved
through growth of core deposits and liquid assets, and accessibility to the
capital and money markets. These funds are used to meet deposit withdrawals,
maintain reserve requirements, fund loans and operate the organization. Core
deposits, defined as demand deposits, NOW accounts, savings deposits and
certificates of deposit less than $100,000, were 84%, 86% and 88% of total
deposits at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and were 83% and
84% of total deposits at March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The Company uses various forms of short-term borrowings for cash management
and liquidity purposes on a limited basis. These forms of borrowings include
federal funds purchases and borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank
has approved federal funds purchase lines with three other banks. The Bank
also carries interest-bearing demand notes issued to the U.S. Treasury as a
participant in the Treasury Tax and Loan note program. In addition, the Bank
has available a $20.0 million line of credit from SLMA. Borrowings under the
SLMA line would be secured by student loans. During 1996 and 1995, and during
the first quarter of 1997, no category of borrowings averaged more than 30% of
ending shareholders' equity.
During the first three months of 1997, cash and cash equivalents increased
by $21.1 million. The increase was the result of cash generated from financing
activities (primarily increased deposits) of $60.0 million and operating
activities of $4.3 million offset by $43.2 million in cash used in investing
activities.
Cash and cash equivalents, during the first three months of 1996, increased
by $8.5 million. The increase was the result of cash generated from financing
activities (primarily increased deposits) of $19.7 million and investing
activities of $1.4 million offset by $12.6 million in cash used in operating
activities.
During the year 1996, cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.1 million as
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995. The increase was the result of
cash generated from financing activities (primarily increased deposits) of
$117.1 million offset by $114.5 million in cash used in investing activities
and $535,000 in cash used in operating activities.
During 1995, cash and cash equivalents increased by $4.4 million as compared
to the year ended December 31, 1994. The increase was the result of cash
generated from operating activities of $2.9 million and financing activities
(primarily increased deposits) of $123.8 million offset by $122.3 million in
cash used in investing activities.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Net interest income, the primary component of the Company's net income,
arises from the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and
the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative amounts of such
assets and liabilities.
The Company manages its assets and liabilities by coordinating the levels
of, or gap between, interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities to minimize
changes in net interest income despite changes in market interest rates. It is
the Company's goal to maintain a percentage of rate-sensitive assets to rate-
sensitive liabilities of between 75% and 125%. This percentage of rate-
sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities presents a static position as
of a single day and is not necessarily indicative of the Company's position at
any other point in time and does not take into account the sensitivity of
yields and costs of specific assets and liabilities to changes in market
rates. While the Company's goal is to match the maturities of assets and
liabilities on a dollar for dollar basis, market forces such as the needs of
depositors and borrowers and competition may cause it to operate close to the
policy limits. The asset/liability policy is intended to stabilize the long-
run earning power of the Company along an acceptable growth path. The Bank's
Asset/Liability Management Committee meets on a monthly basis to monitor
compliance with its objectives.
Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap position
would adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would result
in an increase in net interest income, while, conversely, during a period
45
<PAGE>
of falling interest rates, a negative gap would result in an increase in net
interest income and a positive gap would adversely affect net interest income.
Because of the Company's current gap position and the repricing and repayment
characteristics of its loan portfolio, which consists primarily of short-term
and floating-rate loans, management believes the Company's net interest income
will not be materially adversely affected by increases or decreases in market
interest rates. Increases in general interest rates, however, may affect other
sources of income such as gains on sales of mortgages.
The following table sets forth the Company's interest rate sensitivity at
March 31, 1997.

The foregoing analysis assumes that the Company's mortgage-backed securities

interest-earning assets.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The consolidated financial statements and related consolidated financial
data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and practices within the banking industry which require
the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of
historical dollars without considering the changes in the relative purchasing
power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies,
virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are
monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact
on a financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of
inflation.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of, which establishes accounting standards for such assets. In May 1995, the
FASB also issued SFAS No. 122, Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, which
amends the accounting for the
46
<PAGE>
rights to service mortgage loans, however acquired, and requires the Company
to recognize as separate assets those rights to service mortgage loans for
others. Moreover, SFAS No. 122 requires the Company to evaluate whether
amounts capitalized as mortgage servicing rights are impaired.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. SFAS No. 123 establishes a fair value method and disclosure
standards for stock-based employee compensation arrangements, such as stock
purchase plans and stock options. SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures
of stock-based compensation arrangements with employees and encourages, but
does not require, compensation cost to be measured based on the fair value of
the equity instrument awarded. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company will
continue to follow the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion
("APB") No. 25 for such stock-based compensation arrangements and has
disclosed the proforma effects of applying SFAS No. 123 for 1995 and 1996 in
these financial statements.
The adoption of SFAS Nos. 121, 122 and 123 in the 1996 financial statement
did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information
About Capital Structure. SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for disclosure of
information regarding an entity's capital structure. The adoption of SFAS No.
129 did not affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 125
requires the Company to recognize the financial and servicing assets it
controls and liabilities it has incurred, derecognize financial assets when
control has been surrendered, and derecognize liabilities when extinguished.
In December 1996, the FASB adopted an amendment to SFAS No. 125 that will
delay for one year certain provisions of the Statement. As amended, SFAS No.
125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1997. The Company
will adopt SFAS No. 125 for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities when required. Management believes that
adoption of SFAS No. 125 will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. SFAS
No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Management
believes that SFAS No. 128 will not have a significant effect on the Company's
calculation of earnings per share considering its current capital structure
and the capital structure that would result from the issuance of the Preferred
Securities.

<PAGE>
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES
The Preferred Securities will be issued pursuant to the terms of the Trust
Agreement. The Trust Agreement will be qualified as an indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act. The Property Trustee, State Street Bank and Trust
Company, will act as indenture trustee for the Preferred Securities under the
Trust Agreement for purposes of complying with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act. The terms of the Preferred Securities will include those stated
in the Trust Agreement and those made part of the Trust Agreement by the Trust
Indenture Act. The following summary of the material terms and provisions of
the Preferred Securities and the Trust Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to,
the Trust Agreement, the Trust Act, and the Trust Indenture Act. Wherever
particular defined terms of the Trust Agreement are referred to, but not
defined herein, such defined terms are incorporated herein by reference. The
form of the Trust Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
GENERAL
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, the Trustees, on behalf of SBI
Capital, will issue the Trust Securities. All of the Common Securities will be
owned by the Company. The Preferred Securities will represent preferred
undivided beneficial interests in the assets of SBI Capital and the holders
thereof will be entitled to a preference in certain circumstances with respect
to Distributions and amounts payable on redemption or liquidation over the
Common Securities, as well as other benefits as described in the Trust
Agreement. The Trust Agreement does not permit the issuance by SBI Capital of
any securities other than the Trust Securities or the incurrence of any
indebtedness by SBI Capital.
The Preferred Securities will rank pari passu, and payments will be made
thereon pro rata, with the Common Securities, except as described under "--
Subordination of Common Securities." Legal title to the Subordinated
Debentures will be held by the Property Trustee in trust for the benefit of
the holders of the Trust Securities. The Guarantee executed by the Company for
the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities will be a guarantee on
a subordinated basis with respect to the Preferred Securities, but will not
guarantee payment of Distributions or amounts payable on redemption or
liquidation of such Preferred Securities when SBI Capital does not have funds
on hand available to make such payments. State Street Bank and Trust Company,
as Guarantee Trustee, will hold the Guarantee for the benefit of the holders
of the Preferred Securities. See "Description of the Guarantee."
DISTRIBUTIONS
Payment of Distributions. Distributions on each Preferred Security will be
payable at the annual rate of 9.30% of the stated Liquidation Amount of $25,
payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31
of each year, to the holders of the Preferred Securities on the relevant
record dates (each date on which Distributions are payable in accordance with
the foregoing, a "Distribution Date"). The record date will be the 15th day of
the month in which the relevant Distribution Date occurs. Distributions will
accumulate from June 4, 1997, the date of original issuance. The first
Distribution Date for the Preferred Securities will be July 31, 1997. The
amount of Distributions payable for any period will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which
Distributions are payable on the Preferred Securities is not a Business Day,
then payment of the Distributions payable on such date will be made on the
next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any additional
Distributions, interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with
the same force and effect as if made on the date such payment was originally
due and payable. "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday or a
Sunday, a day on which banking institutions in the City of New York are
authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed or a day on
which the corporate trust office of the Property Trustee or the Debenture
Trustee is closed for business.
Extension Period. The Company has the right under the Indenture, so long as
no Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to defer the
payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures at any time, or from time
to time (each, an "Extended Interest Payment Period"), which, if exercised,
would defer
48
<PAGE>
quarterly Distributions on the Preferred Securities during any such Extended
Interest Payment Period. Distributions to which holders of the Preferred
Securities are entitled will accumulate additional Distributions thereon at
the rate per annum of 9.30% thereof, compounded quarterly from the relevant
Distribution Date. "Distributions," as used herein, includes any such
additional Distributions. The right to defer the payment of interest on the
Subordinated Debentures is limited, however, to a period, in each instance,
not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters and no Extended Interest Payment Period
may extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the Subordinated Debentures. During
any such Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may not (i) declare or
pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock, (ii)
make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu
with or junior in interest to the Subordinated Debentures or make any
guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt
securities of any subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu
with or junior in interest to the Subordinated Debentures (other than payments
under the Guarantee), or (iii) redeem, purchase or acquire less than all of
the Subordinated Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities. Prior to the
termination of any such Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may
further defer the payment of interest; provided that such Extended Interest
Payment Period may not exceed 20 consecutive quarters or extend beyond the
Stated Maturity of the Subordinated Debentures. Upon the termination of any
such Extended Interest Payment Period and the payment of all amounts then due,
the Company may elect to begin a new Extended Interest Payment Period, subject
to the above requirements. Subject to the foregoing, there is no limitation on
the number of times that the Company may elect to begin an Extended Interest
Payment Period.
The Company has no current intention of exercising its right to defer
payments of interest by extending the interest payment period on the
Subordinated Debentures.
Source Of Distributions. The funds of SBI Capital available for distribution
to holders of its Preferred Securities will be limited to payments under the
Subordinated Debentures in which SBI Capital will invest the proceeds from the
issuance and sale of its Trust Securities. See "Description of the
Subordinated Debentures." Distributions will be paid through the Property
Trustee who will hold amounts received in respect of the Subordinated
Debentures in the Property Account for the benefit of the holders of the Trust
Securities. If the Company does not make interest payments on the Subordinated
Debentures, the Property Trustee will not have funds available to pay
Distributions on the Preferred Securities. The payment of Distributions (if
and to the extent SBI Capital has funds legally available for the payment of
such Distributions and cash sufficient to make such payments) is guaranteed by
the Company. See "Description of the Guarantee." Distributions on the
Preferred Securities will be payable to the holders thereof as they appear on
the register of holders of the Preferred Securities on the relevant record
dates, which will be the 15th day of the month in which the relevant
Distribution Date occurs.
REDEMPTION OR EXCHANGE
General. The Subordinated Debentures will mature on July 31, 2027. The
Company will have the right to redeem the Subordinated Debentures (i) on or
after July 31, 2002, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, or
(ii) at any time, in whole (but not in part), within 180 days following the
occurrence of a Tax Event, a Capital Treatment Event or an Investment Company
Event, in each case subject to receipt of prior approval by the Federal
Reserve, if then required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of
the Federal Reserve. The Company will not have the right to purchase the
Subordinated Debentures, in whole or in part, from SBI Capital until after
July 31, 2002. See "Description of the Subordinated Debentures--General."
Mandatory Redemption. Upon the repayment or redemption, in whole or in part,
of any Subordinated Debentures, whether at Stated Maturity or upon earlier
redemption as provided in the Indenture, the proceeds from such repayment or
redemption will be applied by the Property Trustee to redeem a Like Amount (as
defined herein) of the Trust Securities, upon not less than 30 nor more than
60 days notice, at a redemption price (the "Redemption Price") equal to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities plus accumulated but
49
<PAGE>
unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of redemption (the "Redemption
Date"). See "Description of the Subordinated Debentures--Redemption or
Exchange." If less than all of the Subordinated Debentures are to be repaid or
redeemed on a Redemption Date, then the proceeds from such repayment or
redemption will be allocated to the redemption of the Trust Securities pro
rata.
Distribution of Subordinated Debentures. Subject to the Company having
received prior approval of the Federal Reserve, if so required under
applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve, the Company
will have the right at any time to dissolve, wind-up or terminate SBI Capital
and, after satisfaction of the liabilities of creditors of SBI Capital as
provided by applicable law, cause the Subordinated Debentures to be
distributed to the holders of Trust Securities in liquidation of SBI Capital.
See "--Liquidation Distribution Upon Termination."
Tax Event Redemption, Capital Treatment Event Redemption or Investment
Company Event Redemption. If a Tax Event, a Capital Treatment Event or an
Investment Company Event in respect of the Trust Securities occurs and is
continuing, the Company has the right to redeem the Subordinated Debentures in
whole (but not in part) and thereby cause a mandatory redemption of such Trust
Securities at any time, in whole (but not in part) at the Redemption Price,
within 180 days following the occurrence of such Tax Event, Capital Treatment
Event or Investment Company Event. In the event a Tax Event, a Capital
Treatment Event or an Investment Company Event in respect of the Trust
Securities has occurred and the Company does not elect to redeem the
Subordinated Debentures and thereby cause a mandatory redemption of such Trust
Securities or to liquidate SBI Capital and cause the Subordinated Debentures
to be distributed to holders of such Trust Securities in liquidation of SBI
Capital as described below under "--Liquidation Distribution Upon
Termination," such Preferred Securities will remain outstanding and Additional
Interest (as defined herein) may be payable on the Subordinated Debentures.
"Additional Interest" means the additional amounts as may be necessary in
order that the amount of Distributions then due and payable by SBI Capital on
the outstanding Trust Securities will not be reduced as a result of any
additional taxes, duties and other governmental charges to which SBI Capital
has become subject as a result of a Tax Event.
"Like Amount" means (i) with respect to a redemption of Trust Securities,
Trust Securities having a Liquidation Amount equal to that portion of the
principal amount of Subordinated Debentures to be contemporaneously redeemed
in accordance with the Indenture, which will be used to pay the Redemption
Price of such Trust Securities, and (ii) with respect to a distribution of
Subordinated Debentures to holders of Trust Securities in connection with a
dissolution or liquidation of SBI Capital, Subordinated Debentures having a
principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities of
the holder to whom such Subordinated Debentures are distributed. Each
Subordinated Debenture distributed pursuant to clause (ii) above will carry
with it accumulated interest in an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid
interest then due on such Subordinated Debentures.
"Liquidation Amount" means the stated amount of $25 per Trust Security.
After the liquidation date fixed for any distribution of Subordinated
Debentures for Preferred Securities (i) such Preferred Securities will no
longer be deemed to be outstanding, and (ii) any certificates representing
Preferred Securities will be deemed to represent the Subordinated Debentures
having a principal amount equal to the Liquidation Amount of such Preferred
Securities, and bearing accrued and unpaid interest in an amount equal to the
accrued and unpaid Distributions on the Preferred Securities until such
certificates are presented to the Administrative Trustees or their agent for
transfer or reissuance.
There can be no assurance as to the market prices for the Preferred
Securities or the Subordinated Debentures that may be distributed in exchange
for Preferred Securities if a dissolution and liquidation of SBI Capital were
to occur. The Preferred Securities that an investor may purchase, or the
Subordinated Debentures that an investor may receive on dissolution and
liquidation of SBI Capital, may, therefore, trade at a discount to the price
that the investor paid to purchase the Preferred Securities offered hereby.

REDEMPTION PROCEDURES
Preferred Securities redeemed on each Redemption Date will be redeemed at
the Redemption Price with the applicable proceeds from the contemporaneous
redemption of the Subordinated Debentures. Redemptions of the Preferred
Securities will be made and the Redemption Price will be payable on each
Redemption Date only to the extent that SBI Capital has funds on hand
available for the payment of such Redemption Price. See "--Subordination of
Common Securities."
If SBI Capital gives a notice of redemption in respect of its Preferred
Securities, then, by 12:00 noon, eastern standard time, on the Redemption
Date, to the extent funds are available, the Property Trustee will irrevocably
deposit with the paying agent for the Preferred Securities funds sufficient to
pay the aggregate Redemption Price and will give the paying agent for the
Preferred Securities irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the
Redemption Price to the holders thereof upon surrender of their certificates
evidencing such Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Distributions payable on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Preferred
Securities called for redemption will be payable to the holders of such
Preferred Securities on the relevant record dates for the related Distribution
Dates. If notice of redemption will have been given and funds deposited as
required, then upon the date of such deposit, all rights of the holders of
such Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the
right of the holders of such Preferred Securities to receive the Redemption
Price, but without interest on such Redemption Price, and such Preferred
Securities will cease to be outstanding. In the event that any date fixed for
redemption of Preferred Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the
Redemption Price payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day
which is a Business Day (and without any additional Distribution, interest or
other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as
if made on such date. In the event that payment of the Redemption Price in
respect of Preferred Securities called for redemption is improperly withheld
or refused and not paid either by SBI Capital, or by the Company pursuant to
the Guarantee, Distributions on such Preferred Securities will continue to
accrue at the then applicable rate, from the Redemption Date originally
established by SBI Capital for such Preferred Securities to the date such
Redemption Price is actually paid, in which case the actual payment date will
be considered the date fixed for redemption for purposes of calculating the
Redemption Price. See "Description of the Guarantee."
Subject to applicable law (including, without limitation, United States
federal securities law), and, further provided that the Company does not and
is not continuing to exercise its right to defer interest payments, the
Company or its subsidiaries may at any time and from time to time purchase
outstanding Preferred Securities by tender, in the open market or by private
agreement.
Payment of the Redemption Price on the Preferred Securities and any
distribution of Subordinated Debentures to holders of Preferred Securities
will be made to the applicable recordholders thereof as they appear on the
register for the Preferred Securities on the relevant record date, which date
will be the date 15 days prior to the Redemption Date or liquidation date, as
applicable.
If less than all of the Trust Securities are to be redeemed on a Redemption
Date, then the aggregate Liquidation Amount of such Trust Securities to be
redeemed will be allocated pro rata to the Trust Securities based upon the
relative Liquidation Amounts of such classes. The particular Preferred
Securities to be redeemed will be selected by the Property Trustee from the
outstanding Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption, by such
method as the Property Trustee deems fair and appropriate and which may
provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to $25 or an
integral multiple of $25 in excess thereof) of the Liquidation Amount of
Preferred Securities of a denomination larger than $25. The Property Trustee
will promptly notify the registrar for the Preferred Securities in writing of
the Preferred Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Preferred Securities selected for partial redemption, the Liquidation Amount
thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of the Trust Agreement, unless the
context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of
Preferred Securities will relate to the portion of the aggregate Liquidation
Amount of Preferred Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.
51
<PAGE>
Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days, but not more than
60 days, before the Redemption Date to each holder of Trust Securities to be
redeemed at its registered address. Unless the Company defaults in payment of
the redemption price on the Subordinated Debentures, on and after the
Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on such Subordinated Debentures
or portions thereof (and Distributions will cease to accrue on the related
Preferred Securities or portions thereof) called for redemption.
SUBORDINATION OF COMMON SECURITIES
Payment of Distributions on, and the Redemption Price of, the Preferred
Securities and Common Securities, as applicable, will be made pro rata based
on the Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities;
provided, however, that if on any Distribution Date or Redemption Date a
Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no payment of any
Distribution on, or Redemption Price of, any of the Common Securities, and no
other payment on account of the redemption, liquidation or other acquisition
of such Common Securities, will be made unless payment in full in cash of all
accumulated and unpaid Distributions on all of the outstanding Preferred
Securities for all Distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, or in
the case of payment of the Redemption Price, the full amount of such
Redemption Price on all of the outstanding Preferred Securities then called
for redemption, will have been made or provided for, and all funds available
to the Property Trustee will first be applied to the payment in full in cash
of all Distributions on, or Redemption Price of, the Preferred Securities then
due and payable.
In the case of any Event of Default resulting from a Debenture Event of
Default, the Company as holder of the Common Securities will be deemed to have
waived any right to act with respect to any such Event of Default under the
Trust Agreement until the effect of all such Events of Default with respect to
the Preferred Securities have been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated.
Until any such Events of Default under the Trust Agreement with respect to the
Preferred Securities has been so cured, waived or otherwise eliminated, the
Property Trustee will act solely on behalf of the holders of the Preferred
Securities and not on behalf of the Company, as holder of the Common
Securities, and only the holders of the Preferred Securities will have the
right to direct the Property Trustee to act on their behalf.
LIQUIDATION DISTRIBUTION UPON TERMINATION
The Company will have the right at any time to dissolve, wind-up or
terminate SBI Capital and cause the Subordinated Debentures to be distributed
to the holders of the Preferred Securities. Such right is subject, however, to
the Company having received prior approval of the Federal Reserve if then
required under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal
Reserve.
Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, SBI Capital will automatically terminate
upon expiration of its term and will terminate earlier on the first to occur
of (i) certain events of bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, (ii) the distribution of a Like Amount of the Subordinated Debentures
to the holders of its Trust Securities, if the Company, as depositor, has
given written direction to the Property Trustee to terminate SBI Capital
(which direction is optional and wholly within the discretion of the Company,
as depositor), (iii) redemption of all of the Preferred Securities as
described under "Description of the Preferred Securities--Redemption or
Exchange--Mandatory Redemption," or (iv) the entry of an order for the
dissolution of SBI Capital by a court of competent jurisdiction.
If an early termination occurs as described in clause (i), (ii) or (iv) of
the preceding paragraph, SBI Capital will be liquidated by the Trustees as
expeditiously as the Trustees determine to be possible by distributing, after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of SBI Capital as provided by
applicable law, to the holders of such Trust Securities a Like Amount of the
Subordinated Debentures, unless such distribution is determined by the
Property Trustee not to be practical, in which event such holders will be
entitled to receive out of the assets of SBI Capital available for
distribution to holders, after satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of SBI
Capital as provided by applicable law, an amount equal to, in the case of
holders of Preferred Securities, the aggregate of the Liquidation Amount plus
accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment (such amount
being the
52
<PAGE>
"Liquidation Distribution"). If such Liquidation Distribution can be paid only
in part because SBI Capital has insufficient assets available to pay in full
the aggregate Liquidation Distribution, then the amounts payable directly by
SBI Capital on the Preferred Securities will be paid on a pro rata basis. The
Company, as the holder of the Common Securities, will be entitled to receive
distributions upon any such liquidation pro rata with the holders of the
Preferred Securities, except that, if a Debenture Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Preferred Securities will have a priority over
the Common Securities. See "--Subordination of Common Securities."
Under current United States federal income tax law and interpretations and
assuming, as expected, that SBI Capital is treated as a grantor trust, a
distribution of the Subordinated Debentures should not be a taxable event to
holders of the Preferred Securities. Should there be a change in law, a change
in legal interpretation, a Tax Event or other circumstances, however, the
distribution could be a taxable event to holders of the Preferred Securities.
See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences--Receipt of Subordinated
Debentures or Cash Upon Liquidation of SBI Capital." If the Company elects
neither to redeem the Subordinated Debentures prior to maturity nor to
liquidate SBI Capital and distribute the Subordinated Debentures to holders of
the Preferred Securities, the Preferred Securities will remain outstanding
until the repayment of the Subordinated Debentures.
If the Company elects to liquidate SBI Capital and thereby causes the
Subordinated Debentures to be distributed to holders of the Preferred
Securities in liquidation of SBI Capital, the Company will continue to have
the right to shorten or extend the maturity of such Subordinated Debentures,
subject to certain conditions. See "Description of the Subordinated
Debentures--General."
LIQUIDATION VALUE
The amount of the Liquidation Distribution payable on the Preferred
Securities in the event of any liquidation of SBI Capital is $25 per Preferred
Security plus accrued and unpaid Distributions thereon to the date of payment,
which may be in the form of a distribution of such amount in Subordinated
Debentures, subject to certain exceptions. See "--Liquidation Distribution
Upon Termination."
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; NOTICE
Any one of the following events constitutes an event of default under the
Trust Agreement (an "Event of Default") with respect to the Preferred
Securities (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether
voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body):
(i) the occurrence of a Debenture Event of Default (see "Description of the
Subordinated Debentures--Debenture Events of Default"); or
(ii) default by SBI Capital in the payment of any Distribution when it
becomes due and payable, and continuation of such default for a period of 30
days; or
(iii) default by SBI Capital in the payment of any Redemption Price of any
Trust Security when it becomes due and payable; or
(iv) default in the performance, or breach, in any material respect, of any
covenant or warranty of the Trustees in the Trust Agreement (other than a
covenant or warranty a default in the performance of which or the breach of
which is dealt with in clauses (ii) or (iii) above), and continuation of such
default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Trustee(s) by the holders of at least 25%
in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities, a
written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be
remedied and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" under the Trust
Agreement; or
53
<PAGE>
(v) the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with
respect to the Property Trustee and the failure by the Company to appoint a
successor Property Trustee within 60 days thereof.
Within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default
actually known to the Property Trustee, the Property Trustee will transmit
notice of such Event of Default to the holders of the Preferred Securities,
the Administrative Trustees and the Company, as depositor, unless such Event
of Default has been cured or waived. The Company, as depositor, and the
Administrative Trustees are required to file annually with the Property
Trustee a certificate as to whether or not they are in compliance with all the
conditions and covenants applicable to them under the Trust Agreement.
If a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Preferred Securities will have a preference over the Common Securities upon
termination of SBI Capital. See "--Liquidation Distribution Upon Termination."
The existence of an Event of Default does not entitle the holders of Preferred
Securities to accelerate the maturity thereof.
REMOVAL OF SBI CAPITAL TRUSTEES
Unless a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any
Trustee may be removed at any time by the holder of the Common Securities. If
a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property
Trustee and the Delaware Trustee may be removed at such time by the holders of
a majority in Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Preferred Securities. In
no event, however, will the holders of the Preferred Securities have the right
to vote to appoint, remove or replace the Administrative Trustees, which
voting rights are vested exclusively in the Company as the holder of the
Common Securities. No resignation or removal of a Trustee and no appointment
of a successor trustee will be effective until the acceptance of appointment
by the successor trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Trust
Agreement.
CO-TRUSTEES AND SEPARATE PROPERTY TRUSTEE
Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time or
times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of the Trust
Indenture Act or of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Property
(as defined in the Trust Agreement) may at the time be located, the Company,
as the holder of the Common Securities, will have power along with the
Property Trustee to appoint one or more Persons (as defined in the Trust
Agreement) either to act as a co-trustee, jointly with the Property Trustee,
of all or any part of such Trust Property, or to act as separate trustee of
any such Trust Property, in either case with such powers as may be provided in
the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or Persons in such
capacity any property, title, right or power deemed necessary or desirable,
subject to the provisions of the Trust Agreement. In case a Debenture Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property Trustee alone will have
power to make such appointment.
MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEES
Any Person into which the Property Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or any
Administrative Trustee that is not a natural person may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which such Trustee is a party, or any Person
succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of such
Trustee, will be the successor of such Trustee under the Trust Agreement,
provided such Person is otherwise qualified and eligible.
MERGERS, CONSOLIDATIONS, AMALGAMATIONS OR REPLACEMENTS OF SBI CAPITAL
SBI Capital may not merge with or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be
replaced by, or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any Person, except as described below. SBI
Capital may, at the request of the Company, with the consent of the
Administrative Trustees and without the consent of the holders of the
Preferred Securities, the Property Trustee or the Delaware Trustee, merge with
or into, consolidate, amalgamate, or be replaced by, or convey, transfer or
lease its properties and assets substantially as
54
<PAGE>
an entirety to, a trust organized as such under the laws of any State;
provided, that (i) such successor entity either (a) expressly assumes all of
the obligations of SBI Capital with respect to the Preferred Securities, or
(b) substitutes for the Preferred Securities other securities having
substantially the same terms as the Preferred Securities (the "Successor
Securities") so long as the Successor Securities rank the same as the
Preferred Securities rank in priority with respect to distributions and
payments upon liquidation, redemption and otherwise, (ii) the Company
expressly appoints a trustee of such successor entity possessing the same
powers and duties as the Property Trustee in its capacity as the holder of the
Subordinated Debentures, (iii) the Successor Securities are listed, or any
Successor Securities will be listed upon notification of issuance, on any
national securities exchange or other organization on which the Preferred
Securities are then listed (including, if applicable, The Nasdaq Stock
Market's National Market), (iv) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation,
replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the
rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred Securities
(including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, (v) prior to
such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance, transfer or
lease, the Company has received an opinion from independent counsel to the
effect that (a) such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement,
conveyance, transfer or lease does not adversely affect the rights,
preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred Securities
(including any Successor Securities) in any material respect, and (b)
following such merger, consolidation, amalgamation, replacement, conveyance,
transfer or lease, neither SBI Capital nor such successor entity will be
required to register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company
Act, and (vi) the Company owns all of the common securities of such successor
entity and guarantees the obligations of such successor entity under the
Successor Securities at least to the extent provided by the Guarantee, the
Indenture, the Subordinated Debentures, the Trust Agreement and the Expense
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SBI Capital will not, except with
the consent of holders of 100% in Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities, consolidate, amalgamate, merge with or into, or be replaced by or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an
entirety to any other Person or permit any other Person to consolidate,
amalgamate, merge with or into, or replace it if such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger, replacement, conveyance, transfer or lease would cause
SBI Capital or the successor entity to be classified as other than a grantor
trust for United States federal income tax purposes.
VOTING RIGHTS; AMENDMENT OF TRUST AGREEMENT
Except as provided below and under "Description of the Guarantee--Amendments
and Assignment" and as otherwise required by law and the Trust Agreement, the
holders of the Preferred Securities will have no voting rights.
The Trust Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Company, the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees, without the consent of the
holders of the Preferred Securities (i) with respect to acceptance of
appointment by a successor trustee, (ii) to cure any ambiguity, correct or
supplement any provisions in such Trust Agreement that may be inconsistent
with any other provision, or to make any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under the Trust Agreement (provided such
amendment is not inconsistent with the other provisions of the Trust
Agreement), or (iii) to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the
Trust Agreement to such extent as is necessary to ensure that SBI Capital will
be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a grantor trust
at all times that any Trust Securities are outstanding or to ensure that SBI
Capital will not be required to register as an "investment company" under the
Investment Company Act; provided, however, that in the case of clause (ii),
such action may not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any holder of Trust Securities, and any amendments of such Trust Agreement
will become effective when notice thereof is given to the holders of Trust
Securities. The Trust Agreement may be amended by the Trustees and the Company
with (i) the consent of holders representing not less than a majority in the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the outstanding Trust Securities, and (ii)
receipt by the Trustees of an opinion of counsel to the effect that such
amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Trustees in accordance
with such amendment will not affect SBI Capital's status as a grantor trust
for United States federal income tax purposes or SBI Capital's exemption from
status as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act.
Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, without the
consent of each holder of
55
<PAGE>
Trust Securities, the Trust Agreement may not be amended to (a) change the
amount or timing of any Distribution on the Trust Securities or otherwise
adversely affect the amount of any Distribution required to be made in respect
of the Trust Securities as of a specified date, or (b) restrict the right of a
holder of Trust Securities to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such date.
The Trustees will not, so long as any Subordinated Debentures are held by
the Property Trustee, (i) direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee, or executing any
trust or power conferred on the Property Trustee with respect to the
Subordinated Debentures, (ii) waive any past default that is waivable under
the Indenture, (iii) exercise any right to rescind or annul a declaration that
the principal of all the Subordinated Debentures will be due and payable, or
(iv) consent to any amendment, modification or termination of the Indenture or
the Subordinated Debentures, where such consent is required, without, in each
case, obtaining the prior approval of the holders of a majority in aggregate
Liquidation Amount of all outstanding Preferred Securities; provided, however,
that where a consent under the Indenture requires the consent of each holder
of Subordinated Debentures affected thereby, no such consent will be given by
the Property Trustee without the prior consent of each holder of the Preferred
Securities. The Trustees may not revoke any action previously authorized or
approved by a vote of the holders of the Preferred Securities except by
subsequent vote of the holders of the Preferred Securities. The Property
Trustee will notify each holder of Preferred Securities of any notice of
default with respect to the Subordinated Debentures. In addition to obtaining
the foregoing approvals of the holders of the Preferred Securities, prior to
taking any of the foregoing actions, the Trustees must obtain an opinion of
counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that SBI Capital will not be
classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States
federal income tax purposes on account of such action.
Any required approval of holders of Preferred Securities may be given at a
meeting of holders of Preferred Securities convened for such purpose or
pursuant to written consent. The Property Trustee will cause a notice of any
meeting at which holders of Preferred Securities are entitled to vote, or of
any matter upon which action by written consent of such holders is to be
taken, to be given to each holder of record of Preferred Securities in the
manner set forth in the Trust Agreement.
No vote or consent of the holders of Preferred Securities will be required
for SBI Capital to redeem and cancel its Preferred Securities in accordance
with the Trust Agreement.
Notwithstanding the fact that holders of Preferred Securities are entitled
to vote or consent under any of the circumstances described above, any of the
Preferred Securities that are owned by the Company, the Trustees or any
affiliate of the Company or any Trustee, will, for purposes of such vote or
consent, be treated as if they were not outstanding.
PAYMENT AND PAYING AGENCY
Payments in respect of the Preferred Securities will be made by check mailed
to the address of the holder entitled thereto as such address will appear on
the register of holders of the Preferred Securities. The paying agent for the
Preferred Securities will initially be the Property Trustee and any co-paying
agent chosen by the Property Trustee and acceptable to the Administrative
Trustees and the Company. The paying agent for the Preferred Securities may
resign as paying agent upon 30 days' written notice to the Property Trustee
and the Company. In the event that the Property Trustee no longer is the
paying agent for the Preferred Securities, the Administrative Trustees will
appoint a successor (which must be a bank or trust company acceptable to the
Administrative Trustees and the Company) to act as paying agent.
REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT
The Property Trustee will act as the registrar and the transfer agent for
the Preferred Securities. Registration of transfers of Preferred Securities
will be effected without charge by or on behalf of SBI Capital, but upon
payment of any tax or other governmental charges that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange. SBI Capital will not be required to
register or cause to be registered the transfer of Preferred Securities after
such Preferred Securities have been called for redemption.

<PAGE>
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PROPERTY TRUSTEE
The Property Trustee, other than upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, undertakes to perform only such duties as
are specifically set forth in the Trust Agreement and, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, must exercise the same degree
of care and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of
his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the Property Trustee is
under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by the Trust
Agreement at the request of any holder of Preferred Securities unless it is
offered reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that
might be incurred thereby. If no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Property Trustee is required to decide between alternative
courses of action, construe ambiguous provisions in the Trust Agreement or is
unsure of the application of any provision of the Trust Agreement, and the
matter is not one on which holders of Preferred Securities are entitled under
the Trust Agreement to vote, then the Property Trustee will take such action
as is directed by the Company and if not so directed, will take such action as
it deems advisable and in the best interests of the holders of the Trust
Securities and will have no liability except for its own bad faith, negligence
or willful misconduct.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Administrative Trustees are authorized and directed to conduct the
affairs of and to operate SBI Capital in such a way that SBI Capital will not
be deemed to be an "investment company" required to be registered under the
Investment Company Act or classified as an association taxable as a
corporation for United States federal income tax purposes and so that the
Subordinated Debentures will be treated as indebtedness of the Company for
United States federal income tax purposes. The Company and the Administrative
Trustees are authorized, in this connection, to take any action, not
inconsistent with applicable law, the certificate of trust of SBI Capital or
the Trust Agreement, that the Company and the Administrative Trustees
determine in their discretion to be necessary or desirable for such purposes.
Holders of the Preferred Securities have no preemptive or similar rights.
The Trust Agreement and the Preferred Securities will be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
Concurrently with the issuance of the Preferred Securities, SBI Capital will
invest the proceeds thereof, together with the consideration paid by the
Company for the Common Securities, in the Subordinated Debentures issued by
the Company. The Subordinated Debentures will be issued as unsecured debt
under the Indenture, to be dated as of June 4, 1997 (the "Indenture"), between
the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as trustee (the
"Debenture Trustee"). The Indenture will be qualified as an indenture under
the Trust Indenture Act. The following summary of the material terms and
provisions of the Subordinated Debentures and the Indenture does not purport
to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, the Indenture and to the Trust Indenture Act. Wherever
particular defined terms of the Indenture are referred to, but not defined
herein, such defined terms are incorporated herein by reference. The form of
the Indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus forms a part.
GENERAL
The Subordinated Debentures will be limited in aggregate principal amount to
approximately $22,423,000 (or $25,786,500 if the option described under the
heading "Underwriting" is exercised by the Underwriter), such amount being the
sum of the aggregate stated Liquidation Amount of the Trust Securities. The
Subordinated Debentures will bear interest at the annual rate of 9.30% of the
principal amount thereof, payable quarterly in arrears on January 31, April
30, July 31, and October 31 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date")
beginning July 31, 1997, to the Person (as defined in the Indenture) in whose
name each Subordinated Debenture
57
<PAGE>
is registered, subject to certain exceptions, at the close of business on the
fifteenth day of the month in which the Interest Payment Date occurs. It is
anticipated that, until the liquidation of SBI Capital, the Subordinated
Debentures will be held in the name of the Property Trustee in trust for the
benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities. The amount of interest
payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable
on the Subordinated Debentures is not a Business Day, then payment of the
interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is
a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay), with the same force and effect as if made on the date such
payment was originally payable. Accrued interest that is not paid on the
applicable Interest Payment Date will bear additional interest on the amount
thereof (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate per annum of 9.30%
thereof, compounded quarterly. The term "interest," as used herein, includes
quarterly interest payments, interest on quarterly interest payments not paid
on the applicable Interest Payment Date and Additional Interest, as
applicable.
The Subordinated Debentures will mature on July 31, 2027 (such date, as it
may be shortened or extended as hereinafter described, the "Stated Maturity").
Such date may be shortened at any time by the Company to any date not earlier
than July 31, 2002, subject to the Company having received prior approval of
the Federal Reserve, if then required under applicable capital guidelines or
policies of the Federal Reserve. Such date may also be extended at any time at
the election of the Company but in no event to a date later than July 31,
2036, provided that at the time such election is made and at the time of
extension (i) the Company is not in bankruptcy, otherwise insolvent or in
liquidation, (ii) the Company is not in default in the payment of any interest
or principal on the Subordinated Debentures, (iii) SBI Capital is not in
arrears on payments of Distributions on the Preferred Securities and no
deferred Distributions are accumulated, and (iv) the Company has a Senior Debt
rating of investment grade. In the event that the Company elects to shorten or
extend the Stated Maturity of the Subordinated Debentures, it will give notice
thereof to the Debenture Trustee, SBI Capital and to the holders of the
Subordinated Debentures no more than 180 days and no less than 90 days prior
to the effectiveness thereof. The Company will not have the right to purchase
the Subordinated Debentures, in whole or in part, from SBI Capital until after
July 31, 2002, except if a Tax Event, Capital Treatment Event or an Investment
Company Event has occurred and is continuing.
The Subordinated Debentures will be unsecured and will rank junior and be
subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and
Additional Senior Obligations of the Company. Because the Company is a holding
company, the right of the Company to participate in any distribution of assets
of the Bank, upon the Bank's liquidation or reorganization or otherwise (and
thus the ability of holders of the Subordinated Debentures to benefit
indirectly from such distribution), is subject to the prior claim of creditors
of the Bank, except to the extent that the Company may itself be recognized as
a creditor of the Bank. The Subordinated Debentures will, therefore, be
effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of the Bank,
and holders of Subordinated Debentures should look only to the assets of the
Company for payments on the Subordinated Debentures. The Indenture does not
limit the incurrence or issuance of other secured or unsecured debt of the
Company, including Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior
Obligations, whether under the Indenture or any existing indenture or other
indenture that the Company may enter into in the future, or otherwise. See "--
Subordination."
The Indenture does not contain provisions that afford holders of the
Subordinated Debentures protection in the event of a highly leveraged
transaction or other similar transaction involving the Company that may
adversely affect such holders.
OPTION TO EXTEND INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD
The Company has the right under the Indenture at any time during the term of
the Subordinated Debentures, so long as no Debenture Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, to defer the payment of interest at any time, or
from time to time (each, an "Extended Interest Payment Period"). The right to
defer the payment of interest on the Subordinated Debentures is limited,
however, to a period, in each instance, not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters
and no Extended Interest Payment Period may extend beyond the Stated Maturity
of the

Subordinated Debentures. At the end of each Extended Interest Payment Period,
the Company must pay all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with
interest thereon at the annual rate of 9.30%, compounded quarterly, to the
extent permitted by applicable law). During an Extended Interest Payment
Period, interest will continue to accrue and holders of Subordinated
Debentures (or the holders of Preferred Securities if such securities are then
outstanding) will be required to accrue and recognize income for United States
federal income tax purposes. See "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences--
Potential Extension of Interest Payment Period and Original Issue Discount."
During any such Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may not (i)
declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire
or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital
stock, (ii) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or
repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari
passu with or junior in interest to the Subordinated Debentures or make any
guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt
securities of any subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu
or junior in interest to the Subordinated Debentures (other than payments
under the Guarantee), or (iii) redeem, purchase or acquire less than all of
the Subordinated Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities. Prior to the
termination of any such Extended Interest Payment Period, the Company may
further defer the payment of interest; provided that no Extended Interest
Payment Period may exceed 20 consecutive quarters or extend beyond the Stated
Maturity of the Subordinated Debentures. Upon the termination of any such
Extended Interest Payment Period and the payment of all amounts then due on
any Interest Payment Date, the Company may elect to begin a new Extended
Interest Payment Period subject to the above requirements. No interest will be
due and payable during an Extended Interest Payment Period, except at the end
thereof. The Company has no present intention of exercising its rights to
defer payments of interest on the Subordinated Debentures. The Company must
give the Property Trustee, the Administrative Trustees and the Debenture
Trustee notice of its election of such Extended Interest Payment Period at
least two Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding date
on which Distributions on the Trust Securities would have been payable except
for the election to begin such Extended Interest Payment Period, or (ii) the
date the Trust is required to give notice of the record date, or the date such
Distributions are payable, to The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market (or
other applicable self-regulatory organization) or to holders of the Preferred
Securities, but in any event at least one Business Day before such record
date. Subject to the foregoing, there is no limitation on the number of times
that the Company may elect to begin an Extended Interest Payment Period.
ADDITIONAL SUMS
If SBI Capital or the Property Trustee is required to pay any additional
taxes, duties or other governmental charges as a result of the occurrence of a
Tax Event, the Company will pay as additional amounts (referred to herein as
"Additional Interest") on the Subordinated Debentures such additional amounts
as may be required so that the net amounts received and retained by SBI
Capital after paying any such additional taxes, duties or other governmental
charges will not be less than the amounts SBI Capital would have received had
such additional taxes, duties or other governmental charges not been imposed.
REDEMPTION OR EXCHANGE
The Company will have the right to redeem the Subordinated Debentures prior
to maturity (i) on or after July 31, 2002, in whole at any time or in part
from time to time, or (ii) at any time in whole (but not in part), within 180
days following the occurrence of a Tax Event, a Capital Treatment Event or an
Investment Company Event, in each case at a redemption price equal to the
accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Debentures so redeemed to the
date fixed for redemption, plus 100% of the principal amount thereof. Any such
redemption prior to the Stated Maturity will be subject to prior approval of
the Federal Reserve, if then required under applicable capital guidelines or
policies of the Federal Reserve.
"Tax Event" means the receipt by SBI Capital of an opinion of counsel
experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of any amendment
to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the
59
<PAGE>
laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of any
official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or
applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or
which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of issuance
of the Preferred Securities under the Trust Agreement, there is more than an
insubstantial risk that (i) interest payable by the Company on the
Subordinated Debentures is not, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion
will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for United States
federal income tax purposes, (ii) SBI Capital is, or will be within 90 days
after the date of such opinion of counsel, subject to United States federal
income tax with respect to income received or accrued on the Subordinated
Debentures, or (iii) SBI Capital is, or will be within 90 days after the date
of such opinion of counsel, subject to more than a de minimis amount of other
taxes, duties, assessments or other governmental charges. The Company must
request and receive an opinion with regard to such matters within a reasonable
period of time after it becomes aware of the possible occurrence of any of the
events described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.
"Capital Treatment Event" means the receipt by SBI Capital of an opinion of
counsel experienced in such matter to the effect that, as a result of any
amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in the
laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political
subdivision thereof or therein, or as a result of any official administrative
pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or
regulations, which amendment or change is effective or such proposed change,
pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of issuance of the
Preferred Securities under the Trust Agreement, there is more than an
insubstantial risk of impairment of the Company's ability to treat the
aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities (or any substantial
portion thereof) as "Tier 1 Capital" (or the then equivalent thereof) for
purposes of the capital adequacy guidelines of the Federal Reserve, as then in
effect and applicable to the Company, provided, however, that the inability of
the Company to treat all or any portion of the Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities as Tier 1 Capital shall not constitute the basis of a
Capital Treatment Event if such inability results from the Company having
cumulative preferred capital in excess of the amount which may qualify for
treatment as Tier 1 Capital under applicable capital adequacy guidelines of
the Federal Reserve.
"Investment Company Event" means the receipt by SBI Capital of an opinion of
counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, as a result of the
occurrence of a change in law or regulation or a change in interpretation or
application of law or regulation by any legislative body, court, governmental
agency or regulatory authority, SBI Capital is or will be considered an
"investment company" that is required to be registered under the Investment
Company Act, which change becomes effective on or after the date of original
issuance of the Preferred Securities.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than
60 days before the redemption date to each holder of Subordinated Debentures
to be redeemed at its registered address. Unless the Company defaults in
payment of the redemption price for the Subordinated Debentures, on and after
the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on such Subordinated Debentures
or portions thereof called for redemption.
The Subordinated Debentures will not be subject to any sinking fund.
DISTRIBUTION UPON LIQUIDATION
As described under "Description of the Preferred Securities--Liquidation
Distribution Upon Termination," under certain circumstances involving the
termination of SBI Capital, the Subordinated Debentures may be distributed to
the holders of the Preferred Securities in liquidation of SBI Capital after
satisfaction of liabilities to creditors of SBI Capital as provided by
applicable law. Any such distribution will be subject to receipt of prior
approval by the Federal Reserve, if then required under applicable policies or
guidelines of the Federal Reserve. If the Subordinated Debentures are
distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities upon the liquidation of SBI
Capital, the Company will use its best efforts to list the Subordinated
Debentures on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market or such stock
exchanges, if any, on which the Preferred Securities are then listed. There
can be no assurance as to the market price of any Subordinated Debentures that
may be distributed to the holders of Preferred Securities.

RESTRICTIONS ON CERTAIN PAYMENTS
If at any time (i) there has occurred a Debenture Event of Default, (ii) the
Company is in default with respect to its obligations under the Guarantee, or
(iii) the Company has given notice of its election of an Extended Interest
Payment Period as provided in the Indenture with respect to the Subordinated
Debentures and has not rescinded such notice, or such Extended Interest
Payment Period, or any extension thereof, is continuing, the Company will not
(1) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase,
acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's
capital stock, (2) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any,
on or repay or repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that
rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the Subordinated Debentures or
make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of
the debt securities of any subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks
pari passu or junior in interest to the Subordinated Debentures (other than
payments under the Guarantee), or (3) redeem, purchase or acquire less than
all of the Subordinated Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities.
SUBORDINATION
The Indenture provides that the Subordinated Debentures issued thereunder
are subordinated and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt,
Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations of the Company. Upon any
payment or distribution of assets to creditors upon any liquidation,
dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, marshaling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency, debt
restructuring or similar proceedings in connection with any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings of the Company, the holders of Senior Debt,
Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations of the Company will first
be entitled to receive payment in full of principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on such Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional
Senior Obligations of the Company before the holders of Subordinated
Debentures will be entitled to receive or retain any payment in respect of the
principal of or interest on the Subordinated Debentures.
In the event of the acceleration of the maturity of any Subordinated
Debentures, the holders of all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional
Senior Obligations of the Company outstanding at the time of such acceleration
will first be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due thereon
(including any amounts due upon acceleration) before the holders of the
Subordinated Debentures will be entitled to receive or retain any payment in
respect of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Debentures.
No payments on account of principal or interest in respect of the
Subordinated Debentures may be made if there has occurred and is continuing a
default in any payment with respect to Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt or
Additional Senior Obligations of the Company or an event of default with
respect to any Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt or Additional Senior Obligations
of the Company resulting in the acceleration of the maturity thereof, or if
any judicial proceeding is pending with respect to any such default.
"Debt" means, with respect to any Person, whether recourse is to all or a
portion of the assets of such Person and whether or not contingent, (i) every
obligation of such person for money borrowed, (ii) every obligation of such
Person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other similar instruments,
including obligations incurred in connection with the acquisition of property,
assets or businesses, (iii) every reimbursement obligation of such Person with
respect to letters of credit, bankers' acceptances or similar facilities
issued for the account of such Person, (iv) every obligation of such Person
issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (but
excluding trade accounts payable or accrued liabilities arising in the
ordinary course of business), (v) every capital lease obligation of such
Person, and (vi) and every obligation of the type referred to in clauses (i)
through (v) of another Person and all dividends of another Person the payment
of which, in either case, such Person has guaranteed or is responsible or
liable, directly or indirectly, as obligor or otherwise.
"Senior Debt" means, with respect to the Company, the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any (including interest accruing on or after
the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization relating
61
<PAGE>
to the Company whether or not such claim for post-petition interest is allowed
in such proceeding), on Debt, whether incurred on or prior to the date of the
Indenture or thereafter incurred, unless, in the instrument creating or
evidencing the same or pursuant to which the same is outstanding, it is
provided that such obligations are not superior in right of payment to the
Subordinated Debentures or to other Debt which is pari passu with, or
subordinated to, the Subordinated Debentures; provided, however, that Senior
Debt will not be deemed to include (i) any Debt of the Company which when
incurred and without respect to any election under section 1111(b) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, was without recourse to the
Company, (ii) any Debt of the Company to any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any
Debt to any employee of the Company, (iv) any Debt which by its terms is
subordinated to trade accounts payable or accrued liabilities arising in the
ordinary course of business to the extent that payments made to the holders of
such Debt by the holders of the Subordinated Debentures as a result of the
subordination provisions of the Indenture would be greater than they otherwise
would have been as a result of any obligation of such holders to pay amounts
over to the obligees on such trade accounts payable or accrued liabilities
arising in the ordinary course of business as a result of subordination
provisions to which such Debt is subject, and (v) Debt which constitutes
Subordinated Debt.
"Subordinated Debt" means, with respect to the Company, the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any (including interest accruing on or
after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization relating
to the Company whether or not such claim for post-petition interest is allowed
in such proceeding), on Debt, whether incurred on or prior to the date of the
Indenture or thereafter incurred, which is by its terms expressly provided to
be junior and subordinate to other Debt of the Company (other than the
Subordinated Debentures).
"Additional Senior Obligations" means, with respect to the Company, all
indebtedness, whether incurred on or prior to the date of the Indenture or
thereafter incurred, for claims in respect of derivative products such as
interest and foreign exchange rate contracts, commodity contracts and similar
arrangements; provided, however, that Additional Senior Obligations do not
include claims in respect of Senior Debt or Subordinated Debt or obligations
which, by their terms, are expressly stated to be not superior in right of
payment to the Subordinated Debentures or to rank pari passu in right of
payment with the Subordinated Debentures. "Claim," as used herein, has the
meaning assigned thereto in Section 101(4) of the United States Bankruptcy
Code of 1978, as amended.
The Indenture places no limitation on the amount of additional Senior Debt,
Subordinated Debt or Additional Senior Obligations that may be incurred by the
Company. The Company expects from time to time to incur additional
indebtedness constituting Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior
Obligations. At May 29, 1997, the Company had no outstanding Senior Debt,
Subordinated Debt or Additional Senior Obligations. Because the Company is a
holding company, the Subordinated Debentures are effectively subordinated to
all existing and future liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries, including
obligations to depositors of the Bank.
PAYMENT AND PAYING AGENTS
Payment of principal of and any interest on the Subordinated Debentures will
be made at the office of the Company's paying agent in New York, New York,
except that, at the option of the Company, payment of any interest may be made
(i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address appears in the register of holders of the Subordinated Debentures, or
(ii) by transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as
specified in the register of holders of the Subordinated Debentures, provided
that proper transfer instructions have been received by the regular record
date. Payment of any interest on Subordinated Debentures will be made to the
Person in whose name such Subordinated Debenture is registered at the close of
business on the regular record date for such interest, except in the case of
defaulted interest. The Company may at any time designate additional paying
agents for the Subordinated Debentures or rescind the designation of any
paying agent for the Subordinated Debentures. In the event that the Company
fails to maintain a paying agent in New York, New York, Subordinated
Debentures may be presented for payment of principal and interest at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Debenture Trustee in Boston, Massachusetts.
62
<PAGE>
Any moneys deposited with the Debenture Trustee or any paying agent for the
Subordinated Debentures, or then held by the Company in trust, for the payment
of the principal of or interest on the Subordinated Debentures and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has become due and
payable will be repaid to the Company on May 31 of each year or (if then held
in trust by the Company) will be discharged from such trust and the holder of
such Subordinated Debenture will thereafter look, as a general unsecured
creditor, only to the Company for payment thereof.
REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT
The Debenture Trustee will act as the registrar and the transfer agent for
the Subordinated Debentures. Subordinated Debentures may be presented for
registration of transfer (with the form of transfer endorsed thereon, or a
satisfactory written instrument of transfer, duly executed), in New York, New
York or at the office of the registrar in Boston, Massachusetts. The Company
may at any time rescind the designation of any such transfer agent or approve
a change in the location through which any such transfer agent acts; provided
that the Company maintains a transfer agent in New York, New York. The Company
may at any time designate additional transfer agents with respect to the
Subordinated Debentures. In the event of any redemption, neither the Company
nor the Debenture Trustee will be required to (i) issue, register the transfer
of or exchange Subordinated Debentures during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of selection for redemption of
Subordinated Debentures and ending at the close of business on the day of
mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) transfer or exchange any
Subordinated Debentures so selected for redemption, except, in the case of any
Subordinated Debentures being redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be
redeemed.
MODIFICATION OF INDENTURE
The Company and the Debenture Trustee may, from time to time without the
consent of the holders of the Subordinated Debentures, amend, waive or
supplement the Indenture for specified purposes, including, among other
things, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies and qualifying, or
maintaining the qualification of, the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Debenture
Trustee, with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the outstanding Subordinated Debentures, to modify the
Indenture; provided, that no such modification may, without the consent of the
holder of each outstanding Subordinated Debenture affected by such proposed
modification, (i) extend the fixed maturity of the Subordinated Debentures, or
reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest thereon, or (ii) reduce the percentage of principal amount
of Subordinated Debentures, the holders of which are required to consent to
any such modification of the Indenture; provided that so long as any of the
Preferred Securities remain outstanding, no such modification may be made that
requires the consent of the holders of the Subordinated Debentures, and no
termination of the Indenture may occur, and no waiver of any Debenture Event
of Default may be effective, without the prior consent of the holders of at
least a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of the Preferred
Securities and that if the consent of the holder of each Subordinated
Debenture is required, such modification will not be effective until each
holder of Trust Securities has consented thereto.
DEBENTURE EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The Indenture provides that any one or more of the following described
events with respect to the Subordinated Debentures that has occurred and is
continuing constitutes an event of default (each, a "Debenture Event of
Default") with respect to the Subordinated Debentures:
(i) failure for 30 days to pay any interest on the Subordinated Debentures,
when due (subject to the deferral of any due date in the case of an Extended
Interest Payment Period); or
(ii) failure to pay any principal on the Subordinated Debentures when due
whether at maturity, upon redemption by declaration or otherwise; or
63
<PAGE>
(iii) failure to observe or perform in any material respect certain other
covenants contained in the Indenture for 90 days after written notice to the
Company from the Debenture Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Debentures; or
(iv) certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the
Company.
The holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Subordinated Debentures have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Debenture Trustee.
The Debenture Trustee, or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Debentures, may declare the
principal due and payable immediately upon a Debenture Event of Default. The
holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the
Subordinated Debentures may annul such declaration and waive the default if
the default (other than the non-payment of the principal of the Subordinated
Debentures which has become due solely by such acceleration) has been cured
and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal
due otherwise than by acceleration has been deposited with the Debenture
Trustee. Should the holders of the Subordinated Debentures fail to annul such
declaration and waive such default, the holders of a majority in aggregate
Liquidation Amount of the Preferred Securities will have such right.
The Company is required to file annually with the Debenture Trustee a
certificate as to whether or not the Company is in compliance with all the
conditions and covenants applicable to it under the Indenture.
If a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Property
Trustee will have the right to declare the principal of and the interest on
such Subordinated Debentures, and any other amounts payable under the
Indenture, to be forthwith due and payable and to enforce its other rights as
a creditor with respect to such Subordinated Debentures.
ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN RIGHTS BY HOLDERS OF THE PREFERRED SECURITIES
If a Debenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and such
event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay interest on or
principal of the Subordinated Debentures on the payment date on which such
payment is due and payable, then a holder of Preferred Securities may
institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company for enforcement of
payment to such holder of the principal of or interest on such Subordinated
Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate Liquidation Amount
of the Preferred Securities of such holder (a "Direct Action"). In connection
with such Direct Action, the Company will have a right of set-off under the
Indenture to the extent of any payment made by the Company to such holder of
Preferred Securities in the Direct Action. The Company may not amend the
Indenture to remove the foregoing right to bring a Direct Action without the
prior written consent of the holders of all of the Preferred Securities. If
the right to bring a Direct Action is removed, SBI Capital may become subject
to the reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. The Company has the right
under the Indenture to set-off any payment made to such holder of Preferred
Securities by the Company in connection with a Direct Action.
The holders of the Preferred Securities will not be able to exercise
directly any remedies, other than those set forth in the preceding paragraph,
available to the holders of the Subordinated Debentures unless there has been
an Event of Default under the Trust Agreement. See "Description of the
Preferred Securities--Events of Default; Notice."
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OF ASSETS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
The Company may not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or
convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to
any Person, and no Person may consolidate with or merge into the Company or
sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to the Company, unless (i) in the event the
Company consolidates with or merges into another Person or conveys or
transfers its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any
Person, the successor Person is organized under the laws of the United States
or any State or the District of Columbia, and such successor Person expressly
64
<PAGE>
assumes by supplemental indenture the Company's obligations on the
Subordinated Debentures issued under the Indenture, (ii) immediately after
giving effect thereto, no Debenture Event of Default, and no event which,
after notice or lapse of time or both, would become a Debenture Event of
Default, has occurred and is continuing, and (iii) certain other conditions as
prescribed in the Indenture are met.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
The Indenture will cease to be of further effect (except as to the Company's
obligations to pay certain sums due pursuant to the Indenture and to provide
certain officers' certificates and opinions of counsel described therein) and
the Company will be deemed to have satisfied and discharged the Indenture
when, among other things, all Subordinated Debentures not previously delivered
to the Debenture Trustee for cancellation (i) have become due and payable, or
(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or
are to be called for redemption within one year, and the Company deposits or
causes to be deposited with the Debenture Trustee funds, in trust, for the
purpose and in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on the Subordinated Debentures not previously delivered to the
Debenture Trustee for cancellation, for the principal and interest to the date
of the deposit or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may
be.
GOVERNING LAW
The Indenture and the Subordinated Debentures will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma.
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE DEBENTURE TRUSTEE
The Debenture Trustee has and is subject to all the duties and
responsibilities specified with respect to an indenture trustee under the
Trust Indenture Act. Subject to such provisions, the Debenture Trustee is
under no obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by the
Indenture at the request of any holder of Subordinated Debentures, unless
offered reasonable indemnity by such holder against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred thereby. The Debenture Trustee is not
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of its duties if the Debenture Trustee reasonably
believes that repayment or adequate indemnity is not reasonably assured to it.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Company has agreed, pursuant to the Indenture, for so long as Trust
Securities remain outstanding, (i) to maintain directly or indirectly 100%
ownership of the Common Securities of SBI Capital (provided that certain
successors which are permitted pursuant to the Indenture may succeed to the
Company's ownership of the Common Securities), (ii) not to voluntarily
terminate, wind up or liquidate SBI Capital, except upon prior approval of the
Federal Reserve, if then so required under applicable capital guidelines or
policies of the Federal Reserve, and (a) in connection with a distribution of
Subordinated Debentures to the holders of the Preferred Securities in
liquidation of SBI Capital, or (b) in connection with certain mergers,
consolidations or amalgamations permitted by the Trust Agreement, and (iii) to
use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the terms and provisions of the
Trust Agreement, to cause SBI Capital to remain classified as a grantor trust
and not as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal
income tax purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GUARANTEE
The Preferred Securities Guarantee Agreement (the "Guarantee") will be
executed and delivered by the Company concurrently with the issuance of the
Preferred Securities, for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred
Securities. The Guarantee will be qualified as an indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act. The Guarantee Trustee will act as indenture trustee under the
Guarantee for purposes of complying with the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act. The Guarantee Trustee, State Street Bank and Trust Company, will hold the
Guarantee for the benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities. The
following summary of the material terms and provisions of the Guarantee does
not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by
reference to, all of the provisions of the Guarantee and the Trust Indenture
Act. Wherever particular defined terms of the Guarantee are referred to, but
not defined herein, such defined terms are incorporated herein by reference.
The form of the Guarantee has been filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
GENERAL
The Company will, pursuant to the Guarantee, irrevocably agree to pay in
full on a subordinated basis, to the extent set forth therein, the Guarantee
Payments (as defined below) to the holders of the Preferred Securities, as and
when due, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim that SBI
Capital may have or assert other than the defense of payment. The following
payments with respect to the Preferred Securities, to the extent not paid by
or on behalf of SBI Capital (the "Guarantee Payments"), will be subject to the
Guarantee: (i) any accrued and unpaid Distributions required to be paid on the
Preferred Securities, to the extent that SBI Capital has funds available
therefor at such time, (ii) the Redemption Price with respect to any Preferred
Securities called for redemption to the extent that SBI Capital has funds
available therefor at such time, and (iii) upon a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, winding up or liquidation of SBI Capital (other than in
connection with the distribution of Subordinated Debentures to the holders of
Preferred Securities or a redemption of all of the Preferred Securities), the
lesser of (a) the amount of the Liquidation Distribution, to the extent SBI
Capital has funds available therefor at such time, and (b) the amount of
assets of SBI Capital remaining available for distribution to holders of
Preferred Securities in liquidation of SBI Capital. The obligation of the
Company to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the
required amounts by the Company to the holders of the Preferred Securities or
by causing SBI Capital to pay such amounts to such holders.
The Guarantee will not apply to any payment of Distributions except to the
extent SBI Capital has funds available therefor. If the Company does not make
interest payments on the Subordinated Debentures held by SBI Capital, SBI
Capital will not pay Distributions on the Preferred Securities and will not
have funds available therefor.
STATUS OF THE GUARANTEE
The Guarantee will constitute an unsecured obligation of the Company and
will rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Senior Debt,
Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations of the Company in the same
manner as the Subordinated Debentures. The Guarantee does not place a
limitation on the amount of additional Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt or
Additional Senior Obligations that may be incurred by the Company. The Company
expects from time to time to incur additional indebtedness constituting Senior
Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations.
The Guarantee will constitute a guarantee of payment and not of collection
(that is, the guaranteed party may institute a legal proceeding directly
against the Company to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without first
instituting a legal proceeding against any other Person). The Guarantee will
not be discharged except by payment of the Guarantee Payments in full to the
extent not paid by SBI Capital or upon distribution of the Subordinated
Debentures to the holders of the Preferred Securities. Because the Company is
a holding company, the right of the Company to participate in any distribution
of assets of the Bank upon the Bank's liquidation or reorganization or
otherwise is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the Bank, except to
the extent the
66
<PAGE>
Company may itself be recognized as a creditor of the Bank. The Company's
obligations under the Guarantee, therefore, will be effectively subordinated
to all existing and future liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries, and
claimants should look only to the assets of the Company for payments
thereunder.
AMENDMENTS AND ASSIGNMENT
Except with respect to any changes which do not materially adversely affect
the rights of holders of the Preferred Securities (in which case no vote will
be required), the Guarantee may not be amended without the prior approval of
the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate Liquidation Amount of
the outstanding Preferred Securities. See "Description of the Preferred
Securities--Voting Rights; Amendment of Trust Agreement." All guarantees and
agreements contained in the Guarantee will bind the successors, assigns,
receivers, trustees and representatives of the Company and will inure to the
benefit of the holders of the Preferred Securities then outstanding.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
An event of default under the Guarantee will occur upon the failure of the
Company to perform any of its payment or other obligations thereunder. The
holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Preferred Securities have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Guarantee Trustee in
respect of the Guarantee or to direct the exercise of any trust or power
conferred upon the Guarantee Trustee under the Guarantee.
Any holder of Preferred Securities may institute a legal proceeding directly
against the Company to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without first
instituting a legal proceeding against SBI Capital, the Guarantee Trustee or
any other Person.
The Company, as guarantor, is required to file annually with the Guarantee
Trustee a certificate as to whether or not the Company is in compliance with
all the conditions and covenants applicable to it under the Guarantee.
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE GUARANTEE TRUSTEE
The Guarantee Trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of a
default by the Company in performance of the Guarantee, undertakes to perform
only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Guarantee and, after
default with respect to the Guarantee, must exercise the same degree of care
and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or
her own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the Guarantee Trustee is under no
obligation to exercise any of the powers vested in it by the Guarantee at the
request of any holder of any Preferred Securities, unless it is offered
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be
incurred thereby.
TERMINATION OF THE GUARANTEE
The Guarantee will terminate and be of no further force and effect upon (a)
full payment of the Redemption Price of the Preferred Securities, (b) full
payment of the amounts payable upon liquidation of SBI Capital, or (c)
distribution of the Subordinated Debentures to the holders of the Preferred
Securities. The Guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time any holder of the Preferred Securities must
restore payment of any sums paid under such Preferred Securities or the
Guarantee.
GOVERNING LAW
The Guarantee will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of Oklahoma.

EXPENSE AGREEMENT
The Company will, pursuant to the Agreement as to Expenses and Liabilities
entered into by it under the Trust Agreement (the "Expense Agreement"),
irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to each person or entity to whom SBI
Capital becomes indebted or liable, the full payment of any costs, expenses or
liabilities of SBI Capital, other than obligations of SBI Capital to pay to
the holders of the Preferred Securities or other similar interests in SBI
Capital of the amounts due such holders pursuant to the terms of the Preferred
Securities or such other similar interests, as the case may be. Third party
creditors of SBI Capital may proceed directly against the Company under the
Expense Agreement, regardless of whether such creditors had notice of the
Expense Agreement.
RELATIONSHIP AMONG THE PREFERRED SECURITIES,
THE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES AND THE GUARANTEE
FULL AND UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE
Payments of Distributions and other amounts due on the Preferred Securities
(to the extent SBI Capital has funds available for the payment of such
Distributions) are irrevocably guaranteed by the Company as and to the extent
set forth under "Description of the Guarantee." The Company and SBI Capital
believe that, taken together, the obligations of the Company under the
Subordinated Debentures, the Indenture, the Trust Agreement, the Expense
Agreement, and the Guarantee provide, in the aggregate, a full, irrevocable
and unconditional guarantee, on a subordinated basis, of payment of
Distributions and other amounts due on the Preferred Securities. No single
document standing alone or operating in conjunction with fewer than all of the
other documents constitutes such guarantee. It is only the combined operation
of these documents that has the effect of providing a full, irrevocable and
unconditional guarantee of the obligations of SBI Capital under the Preferred
Securities. If and to the extent that the Company does not make payments on
the Subordinated Debentures, SBI Capital will not pay Distributions or other
amounts due on the Preferred Securities. The Guarantee does not cover payment
of Distributions when SBI Capital does not have sufficient funds to pay such
Distributions. In such event, the remedy of a holder of Preferred Securities
is to institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company for
enforcement of payment of such Distributions to such holder. The obligations
of the Company under the Guarantee are subordinate and junior in right of
payment to all Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior
Obligations of the Company.
SUFFICIENCY OF PAYMENTS
As long as payments of interest and other payments are made when due on the
Subordinated Debentures, such payments will be sufficient to cover
Distributions and other payments due on the Preferred Securities, primarily
because (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Debentures will
be equal to the sum of the aggregate stated Liquidation Amount of the Trust
Securities, (ii) the interest rate and interest and other payment dates on the
Subordinated Debentures will match the Distribution rate and Distribution and
other payment dates for the Preferred Securities, (iii) the Company will pay
for all and any costs, expenses and liabilities of SBI Capital (except the
obligations of SBI Capital to holders of the Preferred Securities), and
(iv) the Trust Agreement further provides that SBI Capital will not engage in
any activity that is not consistent with the limited purposes of SBI Capital.
68
<PAGE>
ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF PREFERRED SECURITIES
A holder of any Preferred Security may institute a legal proceeding directly
against the Company to enforce its rights under the Guarantee without first
instituting a legal proceeding against the Guarantee Trustee, SBI Capital or
any other Person. A default or event of default under any Senior Debt,
Subordinated Debt or Additional Senior Obligations of the Company would not
constitute a default or Event of Default. In the event, however, of payment
defaults under, or acceleration of, Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt or
Additional Senior Obligations of the Company, the subordination provisions of
the Indenture provide that no payments may be made in respect of the
Subordinated Debentures until such Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt or
Additional Senior Obligations has been paid in full or any payment default
thereunder has been cured or waived. Failure to make required payments on the
Subordinated Debentures would constitute an Event of Default.
LIMITED PURPOSE OF SBI CAPITAL
The Preferred Securities evidence a preferred undivided beneficial interest
in the assets of SBI Capital. SBI Capital exists for the exclusive purposes of
(i) issuing the Trust Securities representing undivided beneficial interests
in the assets of SBI Capital, (ii) investing the gross proceeds of the Trust
Securities in the Subordinated Debentures issued by the Company, and (iii)
engaging in only those other activities necessary, advisable, or incidental
thereto. A principal difference between the rights of a holder of a Preferred
Security and the rights of a holder of a Subordinated Debenture is that a
holder of a Subordinated Debenture is entitled to receive from the Company the
principal amount of and interest accrued on Subordinated Debentures held,
while a holder of Preferred Securities is entitled to receive Distributions
from SBI Capital (or from the Company under the Guarantee) if and to the
extent SBI Capital has funds available for the payment of such Distributions.
RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION
Upon any voluntary or involuntary termination, winding-up or liquidation of
SBI Capital involving the liquidation of the Subordinated Debentures, the
holders of the Preferred Securities will be entitled to receive, out of assets
held by SBI Capital, the Liquidation Distribution in cash. See "Description of
the Preferred Securities--Liquidation Distribution Upon Termination." Upon any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation or bankruptcy of the Company, the
Property Trustee, as holder of the Subordinated Debentures, would be a
subordinated creditor of the Company, subordinated in right of payment to all
Senior Debt, Subordinated Debt and Additional Senior Obligations of the
Company (as set forth in the Indenture), but entitled to receive payment in
full of principal and interest before any shareholders of the Company receive
payments or distributions. Since the Company is the guarantor under the
Guarantee and has agreed to pay for all costs, expenses and liabilities of SBI
Capital (other than the obligations of SBI Capital to the holders of its
Preferred Securities), the positions of a holder of the Preferred Securities
and a holder of the Subordinated Debentures relative to other creditors and to
shareholders of the Company in the event of liquidation or bankruptcy of the
Company are expected to be substantially the same.
CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
GENERAL
The following is a summary of the material United States federal income tax
considerations that may be relevant to the purchasers of Preferred Securities
which has been passed upon by Kennedy & Baris, L.L.P., counsel to the Company
and SBI Capital, insofar as it relates to matters of law and legal
conclusions. The conclusions expressed herein are based upon current
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"),
regulations thereunder and current administrative rulings and court decisions,
all of which are subject to change at any time, with possible retroactive
effect. Subsequent changes may cause tax consequences to vary substantially
from the consequences described below. Furthermore, the authorities on which
the following summary is based are subject to various interpretations, and it
is therefore possible that the United States federal income tax treatment of
the purchase, ownership, and disposition of Preferred Securities may differ
from the treatment described below.
69
<PAGE>
No attempt has been made in the following discussion to comment on all
United States federal income tax matters affecting purchasers of Preferred
Securities. Moreover, the discussion generally focuses on holders of Preferred
Securities who are individual citizens or residents of the United States and
who acquire Preferred Securities on their original issue at their offering
price and hold Preferred Securities as capital assets. The discussion has only
limited application to dealers in securities, corporations, estates, trusts or
nonresident aliens and does not address all the tax consequences that may be
relevant to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment, such as, for
example, banks, thrifts, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment
companies, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, tax-
exempt investors, or persons that will hold the Preferred Securities as a
position in a "straddle," as part of a "synthetic security" or "hedge," as
part of a "conversion transaction" or other integrated investment, or as other
than a capital asset. The following summary also does not address the tax
consequences to persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S.
dollar, or the tax consequences to shareholders, partners or beneficiaries of
a holder of Preferred Securities. Further, it does not include any description
of any alternative minimum tax consequences, or the tax laws of any state or
local government or of any foreign government, that may be applicable to the
Preferred Securities. Accordingly, each prospective investor should consult,
and should rely exclusively on, such investor's own tax advisors in analyzing
the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the purchase,
ownership or disposition of Preferred Securities.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
The Company intends to take the position that the Subordinated Debentures
will be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Company under current law, and, by acceptance of a
Preferred Security, each holder covenants to treat the Subordinated Debentures
as indebtedness and the Preferred Securities as evidence of an indirect
beneficial ownership interest in the Subordinated Debentures. No assurance can
be given, however, that such position of the Company will not be challenged by
the Internal Revenue Service or, if challenged, that such a challenge will not
be successful. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Subordinated
Debentures will be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as
indebtedness of the Company.
CLASSIFICATION OF SBI CAPITAL
Under current law and assuming full compliance with the terms of the Trust
Agreement and Indenture (and certain other documents described herein), SBI
Capital will be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as a
grantor trust and not as an association taxable as a corporation. Accordingly,
for United States federal income tax purposes, each holder of Preferred
Securities generally will be treated as owning an undivided beneficial
interest in the Subordinated Debentures, and each holder will be required to
include in its gross income any items of income realized with respect to its
allocable share of the Subordinated Debentures.
POTENTIAL EXTENSION OF INTEREST PAYMENT PERIOD AND ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT
Applicable Treasury regulations generally provide that stated interest on a
debt instrument is not "qualified stated interest" and, therefore, will give
rise to original issue discount ("OID") unless such interest is
unconditionally payable in cash or in property (other than debt instruments of
the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate. Interest is considered
to be unconditionally payable only if reasonable legal remedies exist to
compel timely payment or the debt instrument otherwise provides terms and
condition that make the likelihood of late payment (other than late payment
that occurs within a reasonable grace period) or non-payment a "remote
contingency."
The Company has the right, at any time and from time to time during the term
of the Subordinated Debentures, to defer payments of interest by extending
interest payment periods for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters.
Unless the likelihood of exercise of such right to defer is remote, the
Subordinated Debentures would be treated as issued with OID. A holder of a
debt instrument issued with OID must include
70
<PAGE>
that discount in income on an economic accrual basis before the receipt of
cash attributable to the interest, regardless of their method of tax
accounting. Under the Indenture, the Company may not, (i) declare or pay any
dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock, (ii)
make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu
with or junior in interest to the Subordinated Debentures or make any
guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt
securities of any subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu
or junior in interest to the Subordinated Debentures (other than payments
under the Guarantee), or (iii) redeem, purchase or acquire less than all of
the Subordinated Debentures or any of the Preferred Securities. See
"Description of Subordinated Debentures--Option to Extend Interest Payment
Period." The Company currently believes that the adverse impact that the
imposition of such restrictions would have on the Company and on the value of
its equity securities makes the likelihood of its exercising its right to
defer payments of interest on the Subordinated Debentures remote. Accordingly,
the Company believes that the stated interest on the Subordinated Debentures
should be considered unconditionally payable for purposes of the Code and that
the Subordinated Debentures should not be considered to have been issued with
OID. If so, stated interest paid or payable prior to the exercise, if any, by
the Company, of its right to defer interest payments, will be taxable to a
holder as ordinary interest income, generally at the time it is received or
accrued, in accordance with such holder's regular method of accounting for
federal income tax purposes. There can be no assurance that the Internal
Revenue Service will agree with this position.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does exercise its right to
defer payments of interest thereon, the Subordinated Debentures will be
considered to be retired and reissued for their adjusted issue price at such
time, and the Subordinated Debentures thereafter will be considered to have
been issued with OID. In such case, all the interest payments thereafter
payable will be treated as OID. If the payments were treated as OID (either
because the Company exercises the right to defer interest payments or because
the exercise of such right was not remote at the time of issuance), holders
must include that discount in income on an economic accrual basis before the
receipt of cash attributable to the interests, regardless of their method of
tax accounting, and any holder who disposes of Preferred Securities prior to
the record date for payment of Distributions thereon following such Extended
Interest Payment Period will include OID in gross income but will not receive
any cash related thereto from SBI Capital. The amount of OID that accrues in
any quarter will approximately equal the amount of the interest that accrues
in that quarter at the stated interest rate. In the event that the interest
payment period is extended, holders will accrue OID approximately equal to the
amount of the interest payment due at the end of the Extended Interest Payment
Period on an economic accrual basis over the length of the Extended Interest
Payment Period.
Holders of Preferred Securities will not be entitled to a dividends-received
deduction with respect to any income recognized with respect to the Preferred
Securities.
MARKET DISCOUNT AND ACQUISITION PREMIUM
Holders of Preferred Securities other than a holder who purchased the
Preferred Securities upon original issuance may be considered to have acquired
their undivided interests in the Subordinated Debentures with "market
discount" or "acquisition premium" as such phrases are defined for United
States federal income tax purposes. Such holders are advised to consult their
tax advisors as to the income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership
and disposition of the Preferred Securities.
RECEIPT OF SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES OR CASH UPON LIQUIDATION OF SBI CAPITAL
Under certain circumstances, as described under "Description of the
Preferred Securities--Redemption or Exchange" and "--Liquidation Distribution
Upon Termination," the Subordinated Debentures may be distributed to holders
of Preferred Securities upon a liquidation of SBI Capital. Under current
United States federal income tax law, such a distribution would be treated as
a nontaxable event to each such holder and would result in such holder having
an aggregate tax basis in the Subordinated Debentures received in the
liquidation
71
<PAGE>
equal to such holder's aggregate tax basis in the Preferred Securities
immediately before the distribution. A holder's holding period in the
Subordinated Debentures so received in liquidation of SBI Capital would
include the period for which such holder held the Preferred Securities.
If, however, a Tax Event occurs which results in SBI Capital being treated
as an association taxable as a corporation, the distribution would likely
constitute a taxable event to holders of the Preferred Securities. Under
certain circumstances described herein, the Subordinated Debentures may be
redeemed for cash and the proceeds of such redemption distributed to holders
in redemption of their Preferred Securities. Under current law, such a
redemption would, for United States federal income tax purposes, constitute a
taxable disposition of the redeemed Preferred Securities, and a holder would
recognize gain or loss as if the holder sold such Preferred Securities for
cash. See "Description of the Preferred Securities--Redemption or Exchange"
and "--Liquidation Distribution Upon Termination."
DISPOSITION OF PREFERRED SECURITIES
A holder that sells Preferred Securities will recognize gain or loss equal
to the difference between the amount realized on the sale of the Preferred
Securities (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest
which has not yet been included in income, which will be treated as ordinary
income) and the holder's adjusted tax basis in such Preferred Securities. A
holder's adjusted tax basis in the Preferred Securities generally will be its
initial purchase price increased by OID (if any) previously includable in such
holder's gross income to the date of disposition (and the accrual of market
discount, if any, if an election to accrue market discount in income currently
is made) and decreased by payments received on the Preferred Securities to the
date of disposition (other than payments of qualified stated interest). Such
gain or loss will generally be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term
capital gain or loss if the Preferred Securities have been held for more than
one year at the time of sale.
The Preferred Securities may trade at a price that does not accurately
reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest with respect to the
underlying Subordinated Debentures. A holder who uses the accrual method of
accounting (and a cash method holder if the Subordinated Debentures are deemed
to have been issued with OID) that disposes of its Preferred Securities
between record dates for payments of distributions thereon will be required to
include accrued but unpaid interest on the Subordinated Debentures through the
date of disposition in income as ordinary income, and to add such amount to
its adjusted tax basis in its pro rata share of the underlying Subordinated
Debentures deemed disposed of. To the extent the selling price (which may not
fully reflect the value of accrued but unpaid interest) is less than the
holder's adjusted tax basis (which basis will include, in the form of OID, all
accrued but unpaid interest), a holder will recognize a capital loss. Subject
to certain limited exceptions, capital losses cannot be applied to offset
ordinary income for United States federal income tax purposes.
EFFECT OF PROPOSED CHANGES IN TAX LAWS
On March 19, 1996, President Clinton proposed certain tax law changes that
would, among other things, generally deny corporate issuers a deduction for
interest in respect of certain debt obligations issued on or after December 7,
1995 (the "1996 Proposed Legislation") if such debt obligations have a maximum
term in excess of 20 years and are not shown as indebtedness on the issuer's
applicable consolidated balance sheet. On March 29, 1996, Senate Finance
Committee Chairman William V. Roth, Jr. and House Ways and Means Committee
Chairman Bill Archer issued a joint statement (the "Joint Statement")
indicating their intent that certain legislative proposals initiated by the
Clinton administration, including the 1996 Proposed Legislation, that may be
adopted by either of the tax-writing committees of Congress would have an
effective date that is no earlier than the date of "appropriate Congressional
action." In addition, subsequent to the publication of the Joint Statement,
Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Representatives Sam M. Gibbons and Charles
B. Rangel wrote letters to Treasury Department officials concurring with the
views expressed in the Joint Statement. Neither the 1996 Proposed Legislation
nor similar legislation was enacted during the 104th Congress. On February 6,
1997, President Clinton proposed in the administration's fiscal year 1998
budget certain tax law changes (the "1997 Proposed Legislation") that would,
among other things, generally deny corporate issuers a deduction for interest
72
<PAGE>
or OID in respect of certain debt obligations if such debt obligations have a
maximum term in excess of 15 years and are not shown as indebtedness on the
issuer's applicable consolidated balance sheet. The 1997 Proposed Legislation
also contains a provision that would deny a deduction to corporate issuers for
interest or OID with respect to debt instruments that have a maximum term of
more than 40 years (including rights to extend, renew or relend), or are
payable in stock of the issuer or a related party. The U.S. Treasury
Department's summary of the 1997 Proposed Legislation states that the above
provisions regarding the deduction of interest would generally be effective
for instruments issued on or after the date of first Congressional committee
action with respect to the 1997 Proposed Legislation. The Ways and Means
Committee began a full committee hearing on the President's fiscal 1998 budget
on February 11, 1997. There can be no assurance that the effective date
guidance in the 1997 Proposed Legislation will be adopted if the proposed
change to the tax law is enacted, or that other legislation enacted after the
date hereof will not otherwise adversely affect the ability of the Company to
deduct the interest payable on the Subordinated Debentures. Consequently,
there can be no assurance that a Tax Event will not occur. A Tax Event would
permit the Company, upon approval of the Federal Reserve if then required
under applicable capital guidelines or policies of the Federal Reserve, to
cause a redemption of the Preferred Securities before, as well as after, July
31, 2002. See "Description of the Subordinated Debentures--Redemption or
Exchange" and "Description of the Preferred Securities--Redemption or
Exchange--Tax Event Redemption, Capital Treatment Event Redemption or
Investment Company Event Redemption."
BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING
The amount of interest (or OID) accrued on the Preferred Securities held of
record by individual citizens or residents of the United States, or certain
trusts, estates, and partnerships, will be reported to the Internal Revenue
Service on Forms 1099, which forms should be mailed to such holders of
Preferred Securities by January 31 following each calendar year. Payments made
on, and proceeds from the sale of, the Preferred Securities may be subject to
a "backup" withholding tax (currently at 31%) unless the holder complies with
certain identification and other requirements. Any amounts withheld under the
backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the holder's
United States federal income tax liability, provided the required information
is provided to the Internal Revenue Service.
THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED
FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE DEPENDING UPON THE
PARTICULAR SITUATION OF A HOLDER OF PREFERRED SECURITIES. HOLDERS OF PREFERRED
SECURITIES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE
PREFERRED SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES UNDER STATE, LOCAL,
FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN UNITED
STATES FEDERAL OR OTHER TAX LAWS.
ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
Employee benefit plans that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code
("Plans"), generally may purchase Preferred Securities, subject to the
investing fiduciary's determination that the investment in Preferred
Securities satisfies ERISA's fiduciary standards and other requirements
applicable to investments by the Plan.
In any case, the Company and/or any of its affiliates may be considered a
"party in interest" (within the meaning of ERISA) or a "disqualified person"
(within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code) with respect to certain Plans
(generally, Plans maintained or sponsored by, or contributed to by, any such
persons with respect to which the Company or an affiliate is a fiduciary, or
Plans for which the Company or an affiliate provides services). The
acquisition and ownership of Preferred Securities by a Plan (or by an
individual retirement arrangement or other Plans described in Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code) with respect to which the Company or any of its
affiliates is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may
constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code, unless such Preferred Securities are acquired pursuant to and in
accordance with an applicable exemption.
73
<PAGE>
As a result, Plans with respect to which the Company or any of its
affiliates is a party in interest or a disqualified person should not acquire
Preferred Securities unless such Preferred Securities are acquired pursuant to
and in accordance with an applicable exemption. Any other Plans or other
entities whose assets include Plan assets subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code proposing to acquire Preferred Securities should consult with their
own counsel.
UNDERWRITING
Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the "Underwriter"), has agreed,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement,
the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus forms a part, to purchase from SBI Capital 870,000
Preferred Securities. The Underwriter has agreed in the Underwriting
Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase
all the Preferred Securities offered hereby if any of the Preferred Securities
are purchased.
The Underwriter has advised SBI Capital that it proposes initially to offer
the Preferred Securities to the public at the public offering price set forth
on the cover page of this Prospectus, and to certain dealers at such price
less a concession not in excess of $0.50 per Preferred Security. The
Underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess
of $0.10 per Preferred Security to certain other dealers. After the initial
public offering, the public offering price, concession and discount may be
changed.
In view of the fact that the proceeds of the sale of the Preferred
Securities will be used to purchase the Subordinated Debentures of the
Company, the Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company will pay as
compensation to the Underwriter for arranging the investment therein of such
proceeds, $1.00 per Preferred Security (or $870,000 in the aggregate, or
$1,000,500 in the aggregate if the Underwriter's over-allotment option,
described below, is exercised in full), in immediately available funds.
SBI Capital has granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an
additional 130,500 Preferred Securities at the initial public offering price.
Such option, which expires 30 days from the date of this Prospectus, may be
exercised solely to cover over-allotments. To the extent that the Underwriter
exercises its option to purchase additional Preferred Securities, SBI Capital
will issue and sell to the Company additional Common Securities in such
aggregate Liquidation Amount as is required for the Company to continue to
hold Common Securities in an aggregate Liquidation Amount equal to at least 3%
of the total capital of SBI Capital and the Company will issue and sell to SBI
Capital Subordinated Debentures in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
total aggregate Liquidation Amount of the additional Preferred Securities
being purchased pursuant to the option and the additional Common Securities.
During a period of 180 days from the date of this Prospectus, neither SBI
Capital nor the Company will, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior
written consent of the Underwriter, directly or indirectly, sell, offer to
sell, grant any option for sale of, or otherwise dispose of, any Preferred
Securities, any security convertible into or exchangeable into or exercisable
for Preferred Securities or Subordinated Debentures or any debt securities
substantially similar to the Subordinated Debentures or equity securities
substantially similar to the Preferred Securities (except for Subordinated
Debentures and the Preferred Securities offered hereby).
Application has been made to have the Preferred Securities approved for
quotation on The Nasdaq Stock Market's National Market. The Underwriter has
advised SBI Capital that it presently intends to make a market in the
Preferred Securities after the commencement of trading on The Nasdaq Stock
Market's National Market, but no assurances can be made as to the liquidity of
such Preferred Securities or that an active and liquid trading market will
develop or, if developed, that it will continue. The offering price and
distribution rate have been determined by negotiations among representatives
of the Company and the Underwriter, and the offering price of the Preferred
Securities may not be indicative of the market price following the Offering.
The Underwriter will have no obligation to make a market in the Preferred
Securities, however, and may cease market-making activities, if commenced, at
any time.
74
<PAGE>
SBI Capital and the Company have agreed to indemnify the Underwriter
against, or contribute to payments that the Underwriter may be required to
make in respect of, certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
The Underwriter engages in transactions with, and, from time to time, has
performed services for, the Company and its subsidiaries in the ordinary
course of business.
VALIDITY OF SECURITIES
Certain matters of Delaware law relating to the validity of the Preferred
Securities, the enforceability of the Trust Agreement and the formation of SBI
Capital will be passed upon by Richards, Layton & Finger, special Delaware
counsel to the Company and SBI Capital. Certain legal matters for the Company
and SBI Capital, including the validity of the Guarantee and the Subordinated
Debentures, will be passed upon for the Company and SBI Capital by Kennedy &
Baris, L.L.P., Bethesda, Maryland, counsel to the Company and SBI Capital.
Certain legal matters will be passed upon for the Underwriter by Bryan Cave
llp, St. Louis, Missouri. Kennedy & Baris, L.L.P. and Bryan Cave llp will rely
on the opinion of Richards, Layton & Finger as to matters of Delaware law.
Certain matters relating to United States federal income tax considerations
will be passed upon for the Company by Kennedy & Baris, L.L.P.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
SOUTHWEST BANCORP, INC.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial
condition of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company'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 audit 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. and
subsidiary at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS--Southwest Bancorp, Inc. ("the
Company") was incorporated in 1981 as a bank holding company headquartered in
Stillwater, Oklahoma engaged primarily in commercial and consumer banking
services in the State of Oklahoma. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company
(the "Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary, established in 1894. The Company has
six full-service banking offices, two of which are located in each of
Stillwater and Tulsa, Oklahoma, with one each in Oklahoma City and Chickasha,
Oklahoma, and two loan production offices, one in Oklahoma City and one in
Tulsa. The Company pursues a decentralized community banking strategy and
operates through three regional divisions. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION--In preparing its financial statements, management is
required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the dates shown on the consolidated statements of financial position and
revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. Changes in economic conditions could
impact the determination of material estimates such as the allowance for loan
losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with
foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES--Investments in debt and equity securities are
identified as held to maturity, trading, and available for sale based on
management considerations of asset/liability strategy, changes in interest
rates and prepayment risk, the need to increase capital and other factors.
Under certain circumstances (including the deterioration of the issuer's
creditworthiness, a change in tax law, or statutory or regulatory
requirements), the Company may change the investment security classification.
The classifications the Company utilizes determines the related accounting
treatment for each category of investments. Investments classified as trading
are accounted for at fair value, available for sale are accounted for at fair
value with unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, excluded from earnings
and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, and held to
maturity are accounted for at amortized cost.
All held to maturity investment securities are adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts. Amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts are recorded to income over the contractual maturity or estimated
life of the individual investment on the level yield method. The Company has
the ability and intent to hold to maturity its investment securities
classified as held to maturity; accordingly, no adjustment has been made for
the excess, if any, of amortized cost over market. Gain or loss on sale of
investments is based upon the specific identification method. Income earned on
the Company's investments in state and political subdivisions is not taxable.
LOANS RECEIVABLE--Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based
upon the principal amount outstanding. In general, interest income on impaired
loans is written off after the loan is 90 days past due; subsequent interest
income is recorded when cash receipts are received from the borrower. The Bank
originates real estate mortgage loans and guaranteed student loans for
portfolio investment or sale in the secondary market. During the period of
origination, real estate mortgage loans are designated as held either for
investment purposes or sale. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold
within a one-month period from loan closing at amounts approximating par value
of the loans. Guaranteed student loans are generally sold after the Company
has been notified of the borrower's change from deferment status, which can
range from one to five years, or longer. Real estate mortgage loans held for
sale and guaranteed student loans are carried at cost, which does not exceed
market. Gains or losses recognized upon the sales of loans are determined on a
specific identification basis.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES--The allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. Loans which are
determined to be impaired are charged against this allowance and recoveries,
if any, are added to the allowance. A loan is considered to be impaired when,
based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will
be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement. All of the Company's nonaccrual loans have been defined as
F-7
<PAGE>
impaired loans. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is determined by
management based upon a number of factors including, among others, analytical
reviews of loan loss experience in relationship to outstanding loans and
commitments; unfunded loan commitments; problem and nonperforming loans and
other loans presenting credit concerns; trends in loan growth, portfolio
composition and quality; use of appraisals to estimate the value of
collateral; and management's judgment with respect to current and expected
economic conditions and their impact on the existing loan portfolio. Changes
in the allowance may occur because of changing economic conditions and
economic prospects or financial position of borrowers. While there can be no
assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate to cover all
losses from all loans, management believes that the allowance for loan losses
is adequate. While management uses all available information to estimate the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the ultimate collectability of a
substantial portion of the loan portfolio and the need for future additions to
the allowance will be based upon changes in economic conditions and other
relevant factors. Recovery of the carrying value of such loans is dependent to
a great extent on conditions that may be beyond the Company's control. Actual
future losses could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by
management adversely affecting net income.
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 114, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosure on January 1, 1995.
The allowance for loan losses related to loans that are identified for
evaluation in accordance with SFAS No. 114 is based on discounted cash flows
using the loan's initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the
collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Smaller balance,
homogeneous loans, including mortgage, student and consumer, are collectively
evaluated for impairment. The amount of impairment determined in accordance
with SFAS No. 114 did not differ materially from amounts previously provided.
In addition, SFAS No. 114 does not affect the comparability of the credit risk
disclosures. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material
estimates including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be
received on impaired loans that may be susceptible to significant change.
LOAN SERVICING INCOME--The Company earns fees for servicing real estate
mortgages owned by others. These fees are generally calculated on the
outstanding principal balance of the loans serviced and are recorded as income
when received.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT--Premises and equipment are stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Major additions or improvements are
charged to the asset account while normal maintenance and repairs are expensed
as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-
line and declining-balance methods based on asset lives which vary from three
to forty years.
OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED--Other real estate owned is initially recorded at
fair value less the estimated costs to sell the asset. Write-downs of carrying
value required at the time of foreclosure are recorded as a charge to the
allowance for loan losses. Costs related to the development of such real
estate are capitalized whereas those related to holding the property are
expensed. Foreclosed property is subject to periodic reevaluation based upon
estimates of fair value. In determining the valuation of other real estate
owned, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.
Valuation adjustments are provided, as necessary, by charges to operations.
The net cost of operating other real estate owned, including provision for
losses, rental income, and gains and losses on sales of real estate, is not
significant.
Profit from sales of foreclosed property by the Company is recognized in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real
Estate. Losses are recognized as incurred.
INTANGIBLES--Intangibles consist of a core deposit intangible, goodwill and
mortgage servicing rights. The core deposit intangible is amortized over the
estimated life of the assumed deposits, ranging from four to seven years using
the level yield method. Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method
over 15 years. Mortgage servicing rights are capitalized based upon the
observable market price at the point of origination. The servicing rights are
amortized on an individual loan by loan basis in proportion to, and over the
period of, estimated net servicing income. The capitalized amounts,
amortization and impairment of the mortgage servicing rights is not material.
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Bank has recorded cumulative amortization
of $1.0 million and $829,000, respectively.
TAXES ON INCOME--The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated income tax
returns. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between
financial and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. A

valuation allowance will be established if it is more likely than not that
some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE--Earnings per common share is computed based upon
net income, after deducting the dividend requirements of preferred stock,
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
each period. The impact of stock options on earnings per common share is not
materially dilutive. The weighted average of outstanding common shares for the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was 3,760,370, 3,755,228 and
3,755,228, respectively.
TRUST--The Company offers trust services to customers through its
relationship with the Trust Company of Oklahoma, a trust services company.
Property (other than cash on deposit) held by the Bank in a fiduciary or
agency capacity for its customers is not included in the consolidated
statements of financial condition as it is not an asset or liability of the
Bank.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from depository
institutions, and federal funds sold. Federal funds sold are sold for one day
periods.
LIQUIDITY--The Bank is required by the Federal Reserve Bank to maintain
average reserve balances. Cash and due from banks in the consolidated
statements of financial condition include restricted amounts of $5.1 and $6.2
million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, the Bank had available unsecured lines of credit from
correspondent banks and the Student Loan Marketing Association ("SLMA")
totaling $15.0 million and $20.0 million, respectively. Short-term borrowings
outstanding on these lines of credit totaled $1.8 million and $10.3 million,
with weighted average rates of 6.70% and 5.60% at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The average balances outstanding on these lines of credit were
not material for either year.
RECLASSIFICATIONS--Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

Realized gross gains/(losses) on sales of investment securities were
$459,000, $(8,000) and $(3,000) during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
gross proceeds from such sales of investment securities totaled approximately
$438,000, $6.0 million and $102,000 during 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
A portion of the gain on sales of investment securities during 1996 occurred
when $4.6 million in Agency securities classified as "held to maturity" and
$11.2 million in Agency securities classified as "available for sale",
originally purchased at a discount, were called prior to their stated maturity
date.
In November 1995, the FASB issued a special report on A Guide to
Implementation of SFAS No. 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities--Questions and Answers (the "Guide"). The Guide provided
the Company a one-time opportunity to transfer securities from the held to
maturity category during the period November 15 through December 31, 1995.
After reconsideration of its original classifications, the Company
reclassified $32.7 million of investment securities from held to maturity to
available for sale. The fair value of such securities at the date of transfer
was $33.3 million and the net unrealized gain was $675,000.

Loans receivable, net $ 637,507 $ 526,175
=========== ===========
</TABLE>
The Bank extends commercial and consumer credit primarily to customers in
the State of Oklahoma which subjects the loan portfolio to the general
economic conditions within this area. At December 31, 1996 and 1995,
substantially all of the Bank's loans, except for credit cards, are
collateralized with real estate, inventory, accounts receivable and/or other
assets or guaranteed by agencies of the United States Government.
Loans to individuals and businesses in the healthcare industry totaled
approximately $74.5 million, or 12% of total loans. Other notable
concentrations of credit within the loan portfolio include $25.2 million in
residential construction loans, $23.9 million in hotel/motel loans and $13.4
million in restaurant loans. In the event of total nonperformance by the
borrowers, the Company's accounting loss would be limited to the recorded
investment in the loans receivable reduced by proceeds received from
disposition of the related collateral.
The Company had loans which were held for sale of $12.3 million and $4.6
million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. These loans are carried
at cost, which does not exceed market. Guaranteed student loans are generally
sold to a single servicer. A substantial portion of the one-to-four family
residential loans and loan servicing rights are sold to two servicers.
The principal balance of loans for which accrual of interest has been
discontinued totaled approximately $4.6 million and $724,000 at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively. If interest on those loans had been accrued, the
interest income as reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations would have increased by approximately $398,000, $48,000 and
$443,000 for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The $3.9 million increase in
nonaccrual loans from year-end 1995 was mainly the result of the
classification as nonaccrual of a group of related loans with a remaining net
book value of $3.4 million at December 31, 1996. Management believes these
loans are either adequately secured or have specific reserves allocated to
them.
Floating rate loans with original repricing terms within two years were
approximately $468.8 million and $401.8 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
The unpaid principal balance of real estate mortgage loans serviced for
others totaled $119.0 million and $130.2 million at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. The Bank maintained escrow accounts totaling $366,000 and
$697,000 for real estate mortgage loans serviced for others at December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, impaired loans totaled $4.8 million and
$3.3 million and had been allocated a related allowance for loan loss of $2.0
million and $1.3 million, respectively. The average balance of impaired loans
totaled $3.8 million and $3.9 million and interest income recognized on
impaired loans totaled $37,000 and $367,000, respectively, for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995.
Directors and officers of the Company and the Bank were customers of, and
had transactions with, the Bank in the ordinary course of business, and
similar transactions are expected in the future. All loans included in such
transactions were made on substantially the same terms, including interest
rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable
transactions with other persons and did not involve more than normal risk of
loss or present other unfavorable features. Certain officers, directors,
employees, and companies in which they have partial ownership had indebtedness
to the Bank totaling $1.0 million and $2.2 million at December 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively. During 1996, $1.8 million of new loans were made to these
persons and repayments totaled $3.0 million.

6. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
At the 1996 annual shareholders' meeting, the shareholders of the Company
approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to
increase the authorized shares of capital stock from 7,000,000 to 12,000,000,
consisting of 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share
("Common Stock"), and an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of serial preferred
stock, par value $1.00 per share. The Company's Board of Directors can
determine the voting powers, dividend rights, liquidation preferences and
other limitations on the preferred stock prior to issuance. On July 31, 1995,
the Company issued 690,000 shares of 9.20%
F-13
<PAGE>
Redeemable, Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Shares"), and received
net proceeds of $16.3 million. The liquidation preference of the Shares is $25
per share plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends. The Shares may
not be redeemed by the Company prior to September 1, 1998. Subject to prior
regulatory approval, the Shares may be redeemed at the option of the Company,
in whole or in part, on or after September 1, 1998, at a price equal to $25
per share plus accumulated unpaid dividends to the redemption date. Such
dividends are cumulative from the date of issuance and payable quarterly at
the rate of 9.20% of the original liquidation preference, or $2.30 per annum
per share. For the year ended December 31, 1996, the cumulative dividend
requirement was $1.6 million, $1.5 million of which was declared and paid.
The Company has reserved for issuance 200,000 shares of common stock
pursuant to the terms of Dividend Reinvestment and Employee Stock Purchase
Plans. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan allows shareholders of record a
convenient and economical method of increasing their equity ownership of the
Company. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows Company employees to acquire
additional common shares through payroll deductions. At December 31, 1996,
8,988 shares had been issued by these plans.
7. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory-and possibly
additional discretionary-actions by regulators, that if undertaken, could have
a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital
guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's and the Bank's
assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting principles. The Company's and the Bank's capital amounts
and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings and other factors.
The most recent notification from regulatory agencies categorized the Bank
as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum
total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth
in the table below. Since the notification, there are no conditions or events
that have changed the Bank's category.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the
regulations) to risk-weighted assets and Tier I capital to average assets (all
as defined). The Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements
to be classified as well-capitalized as of December 31, 1996.

The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of
all dividends declared by the Bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of
its net profits of that year combined with its retained net profits of the
preceding two years. In addition, the Bank may not pay a dividend if, after
paying the dividend, the Bank would be under-capitalized. The Bank's maximum
amount of dividends available for payment totaled approximately $12.8 million
at December 31, 1996. Dividends declared by the Bank for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 did not exceed the threshold requiring
regulatory approval.

8. STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Southwest Bancorp, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Plan")
provides selected key employees with the opportunity to acquire common stock.
At December 31, 1996, the Company has reserved 375,522 shares under the Stock
Plan, of which 247,000 shares are under option at a weighted average exercise
price of $15.95 per share; none of the options have been exercised. During
1996 and 1995, the Company granted 35,000 and 30,000 shares, respectively. The
exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's common
stock on the date of the grant. An option's maximum term is ten years. At
December 31, 1996, there were four stock option arrangements outstanding:

</TABLE>
The Company has estimated the fair value of the options granted using the
minimum value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at
the grant date for the Company's stock options in accordance with SFAS No.
123, the proforma net income and earnings per common share would have been
$7.458 million and $1.56 for 1996 and $5.911 million and $1.40 for 1995,
respectively.
The Company has elected to continue to account for its stock options using
the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its
stock option plans.
9. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Company, at the discretion of its Board of Directors, may, under its
profit-sharing plan, contribute annually an amount not exceeding 15% of the
total annual compensation of all participants. The Company made contributions
of $671,000, $680,000 and $589,000 in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company has a deferred compensation plan for key management employees.
The Board of Directors of the Company administered the plan and awarded
performance units ("Units") at its discretion. Employees awarded Units were
entitled to receive compensation from the Bank based on the earnings of the
Company. The ultimate amount payable to employees is based on cumulative
earnings of the Company over certain five year periods. The 1996, 1995 and
1994 amounts charged to compensation expense under these plans were $45,000,
$86,000 and $132,000, respectively. The final payout under this plan will be
made in 1997, after which, no further Units will be outstanding.

11. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial
instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107,
Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market
information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable
judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current
market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS--For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying
amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES--The fair value of U.S. Government and agency
obligations, other securities and mortgage-backed securities is estimated
based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. The fair value for other
investments such as obligations of state and political subdivisions is
estimated based on quoted market prices for similar investment instruments.
LOANS RECEIVABLE--Fair values are estimated for certain homogeneous
categories of loans adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The
Bank's loans have been aggregated by categories consisting of commercial, real
estate, student, credit card and other consumer. The fair value estimate for
student loans is the current historical cost carrying value as such loans are
typically sold in the secondary market at par value. The fair value of all
other loans is estimated by discounting the cash flows using credit and
interest rate risks inherent in the loan category and interest rates currently
offered for loans with similar terms and credit risks.
ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE--The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of
fair value for accrued interest receivable.
DEPOSITS--The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain
money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the statement of
financial condition date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of
deposits is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of
similar remaining maturities.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS--The fair values of short-term borrowings and federal
funds purchased are the amounts payable at the statement of financial
condition date, as the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
OTHER LIABILITIES AND ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE--The estimated fair value of
other liabilities, which primarily include trade accounts payable, and accrued
interest payable approximates their carrying value.
COMMITMENTS--Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and
financial guarantees written or other items have short maturities and
therefore have no significant fair values.

12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business, the Company makes use of a number of
different financial instruments to help meet the financial needs of its
customers. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, these
transactions are not presented in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements and are referred to as off-balance sheet instruments. These
transactions and activities include commitments to extend lines of commercial
and real estate mortgage credit, standby and commercial letters of credit and
available credit card lines of credit. The following table provides a summary
of the Company's off-balance sheet financial instruments:
<TABLE>

<S> <C> <C>
Commitments to extend commercial and real estate
mortgage credit $ 154,041 $ 86,563
Standby and commercial letters of credit 4,214 3,578
Credit card lines of credit 348,144 347,455
----------- -----------
Total $ 506,399 $ 437,596
=========== ===========
</TABLE>
A loan commitment is a binding contract to lend up to a maximum amount for a
specified period of time provided there is no violation of any financial,
economic or other terms of the contract. A standby letter of credit obligates
the Company to honor a financial commitment by issuing a guarantee to a third
party should the Company's customer fail to perform. Many loan commitments and
most standby letters of credit expire unfunded, and, therefore, total
commitments do not represent future funding obligations of the Company. Loan
commitments and letters of credit are made under normal credit terms,
including interest rates and collateral prevailing at the time, and usually
require the payment of a fee by the customer. Commercial letters of credit are
commitments generally issued to finance the movement of goods between buyers
and sellers. The Bank's exposure to credit loss, assuming commitments are
funded, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial
instrument is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The
Bank has an agreement with another financial institution to purchase $285.0
million and $284.9 million of unadvanced credit card lines of credit at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, if such credit card lines of credit
are funded. Such commitments are made with the same terms as similarly funded
extensions of credit including collateral, rates and maturities. The Bank does
not anticipate any material losses as a result of the commitments.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to various legal actions normally associated with
financial institutions, the aggregate of which, in management's and legal
counsel's opinion, would not be material to the consolidated financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
F-18
<PAGE>
At periodic intervals, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Federal Reserve Bank routinely examine the Company's and the Bank's financial
statements as part of their legally prescribed oversight of the banking
industry. Based on these examinations, the regulators can direct that the
Company's and the Bank's financial statements be adjusted in accordance with
their findings.
The Bank has adopted a Severance Compensation Plan (the "Plan") for the
benefit of certain officers and key members of management. The Plan's purpose
is to protect and retain certain qualified employees in the event of a change
in control (as defined) and to reward those qualified employees for loyal
service to the Bank by providing severance compensation to them upon their
involuntary termination of employment after a change in control of the Bank.
At December 31, 1996, the Bank has not recorded any amounts in the
consolidated financial statements relating to the Plan. If a change of control
were to occur, the maximum amount payable to certain officers and key members
of management would approximate $934,000.

15. ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 125
requires the Company to recognize the financial and servicing assets it
controls and liabilities it has incurred, derecognize financial assets when
control has been surrendered, and derecognize liabilities when extinguished.
In December 1996, the FASB adopted an amendment to SFAS No. 125 that will
delay for one year certain provisions of the Statement. As amended, SFAS No.
125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1997. The Company
will adopt SFAS No. 125 for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities when required. Management believes that
adoption of SFAS No. 125 will not have a material impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.

SOUTHWEST BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However,
the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation. The results of operations and cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Southwest Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
NOTE 2: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Southwest Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned
subsidiary, The Stillwater National Bank and Trust Company (the Bank). All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in
consolidation.
NOTE 3: RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 129, Disclosure of
Information About Capital Structure. SFAS No. 129 establishes standards for
disclosure of information regarding an entity's capital structure. The
adoption of SFAS No. 129 did not affect the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
NOTE 4: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS No. 125
requires the Company to recognize the financial and servicing assets it
controls and liabilities it has incurred, derecognize financial assets when
control has been surrendered, and derecognize liabilities when extinguished.
The Company will adopt SFAS No. 125 for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1997 as
required. Management believes that adoption of SFAS No. 125 will not have a
material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which
establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. SFAS
No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Management
believes that SFAS No. 128 will not have a significant effect on the Company's
calculation of earnings per share considering its current capital structure.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan
losses charged to expense. Charge-offs of loan amounts determined by
management to be uncollectible or impaired decrease the allowance and
recoveries of previous charge-offs, if any, are added to the allowance. A loan
is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it
is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due
according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. All of the Company's
nonaccrual loans have been defined as impaired loans. The adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is determined by management based upon a number of
factors including, among others, analytical reviews of loan loss experience in
relationship to outstanding loans and commitments; unfunded loan commitments;
problem and nonperforming loans and other loans presenting credit concerns;
trends in loan growth, portfolio composition and quality; use of appraisals to
estimate the value of collateral; and management's judgment with respect to
current and expected economic conditions and their impact on the existing loan
portfolio. Changes in the allowance may occur because of changing economic
conditions and economic prospects or financial position of borrowers. While
there can be no assurance that the allowance for loan losses will be adequate
to cover all losses from all loans, management believes that the allowance for
loan losses is adequate. While management uses all available information to
estimate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the ultimate
collectability of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio and the need for
future additions to the allowance will be based upon changes in economic
conditions and other relevant factors. Recovery of the carrying value of such
loans is dependent to a great extent on conditions that may be beyond the
Company's control. Actual future losses could differ significantly from the
amounts estimated by management adversely affecting net income.
NOTE 6: LOANS RECEIVABLE
The Bank extends commercial and consumer credit primarily to customers in the
State of Oklahoma which subjects the loan portfolio to the general economic
conditions within this area. At March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996,
substantially all of the Bank's loans, except for credit cards, are
collateralized with real estate, inventory, accounts receivable and/or other
assets or guaranteed by agencies of the United States Government.
At March 31, 1997, loans to individuals and businesses in the healthcare
industry totaled approximately $79.0 million, or 12% of total loans. Other
notable concentrations of credit within the loan portfolio include $23.8
million, or 4% of total loans, in hotel/motel loans, $23.4 million, or 3% of
total loans, in residential construction loans and $15.8 million, or 2% of
total loans, in restaurant loans. In the event of total nonperformance by the
borrowers, the Company's accounting loss would be limited to the recorded
investment in the loans receivable reduced by proceeds received from
disposition of the related collateral.
The principal balance of loans for which accrual of interest has been
discontinued totaled approximately $4.7 million at March 31, 1997. During the
first three months of 1997, $103,000 in interest income was received on
nonaccruing loans. If interest on those loans had been accrued, total interest
income of $171,000 would have been recorded.
Those performing loans considered potential problem loans, as defined and
identified by management, amounted to approximately $20.7 million at March 31,
1997, compared to $23.0 million at December 31, 1996. The amount of performing
loans that were considered potential problem loans at December 31, 1996 was
previously incorrectly disclosed as $14.9 million, as a result of a
computational error made in the preparation of the disclosure. The total
amount of such loans recognized on the books of the Company at December 31,
1996 was $23.0 million. Although these are loans where known information about
the borrowers' possible credit problems cause management to have doubts as to
their ability to comply with the present loan repayment terms, most are well
collateralized and are not believed to present significant risk of loss. The
Company's loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and
commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances. The deterioration
of one or a few of such loans may cause a significant increase in potential
problem loans or in nonperforming loans.
