#### Director Independence
The Board of Directors has determined that BOK Financial is a “controlled company,” as defined in Rule 5615(c)(1) of the NASDAQ listing standards, based on Mr. Kaiser's beneficial ownership of approximately 59.08% of the outstanding common stock. Accordingly, BOK Financial is exempt from certain requirements of the NASDAQ listing standards, including the requirement to maintain a majority of independent directors on the Company's Board of Directors and the requirements regarding the determination of compensation of executive officers and the nomination of directors by independent directors. Nevertheless, the Company maintains a substantial majority of independent directors and nominates new board members through board consensus.

The Audit Committee is comprised solely of independent board members. Further discussion regarding determination of independence may be found in the section entitled “Audit Committee.” The Board does not have a nominating committee, but all directors participate in nomination of directors.
