CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our
financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “might,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,”
“estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “strive,” “projection,” “goal,” “target,” “outlook,” “aim,” “would,” “annualized” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature.
These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are
inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties that are difficult to
predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements.
There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the
following:
•
our ability to effectively execute our expansion strategy and manage our growth, including identifying and consummating suitable acquisitions;
•
business and economic conditions, particularly those affecting our market areas of Oklahoma, the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area and Kansas, including a decrease in or the volatility of oil and gas
prices or agricultural commodity prices within the region;
•
the geographic concentration of our markets in Oklahoma, the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area and Kansas;
•

competition from banks, credit unions and other financial services providers;

system failures, service denials, cyber-attacks and security breaches;
•
our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting;
•

•
increased capital requirements imposed by banking regulators, which may require us to raise capital at a time when capital is not available on favorable terms or at all;
•
costs and effects of litigation, investigations or similar matters to which we may be subject, including any effect on our reputation;
•
severe weather, acts of god, acts of war, pandemics or terrorism;
•
