 disasters, including but not limited to, long periods of drought and rising sea levels, could result in an economic downturn and a decline in market conditions. Liquidity risks could arise as operational needs change for both BOK Financial and its customers. 

•We may not have adequate insurance coverage for some potential natural, catastrophic climate change-related events. 

Transition risks relate to stresses arising from the shifts in regulatory policies, consumer or business sentiment, or technologies required to limit climate change. Efforts by U.S. Congress, state legislatures, and federal and state regulatory agencies to advance legislative and regulatory initiatives respecting climate change fluctuate with changes in elected officials and may be inconsistent, making compliance costly and challenging. Transition risks specific to BOK Financial include:

•Compliance, operating, maintenance, and remediation costs may require a significant amount of expenditure. 

•BOK Financial's credit portfolios include carbon-intensive industries, which could be adversely impacted by the transition to a low-carbon economy. BOK Financial has a long-standing relationship with the energy industry, and the local economies within BOK Financial's geographical footprint have a concentration in energy-related industries. The regulatory impacts on the energy industry could lead to sharp changes in the values of certain assets or liabilities, increase costs, hinder financial results, and shrink the industry. These changes could have a significant effect on the general economic conditions within our footprint.

On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted new climate-related disclosure rules for U.S. public companies and foreign private issuers. These rules introduce extensive disclosure requirements, increasing reporting costs, risks, and complexity. Challenges include short compliance timelines, interpretive issues, legal liabilities, and global regulatory overlaps. In the midst of legal challenges, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of these rules.
