Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On December 21, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (“Cullen/Frost”) voted to expand the Board by one director and elected Chris Avery to fill the vacant seat, effective December 21, 2015, for a term expiring at Cullen/Frost’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2016 or until his earlier resignation or removal. Mr. Avery has not been named to any committees of the Board.
Mr. Avery and his associates are current or past customers of Cullen/Frost and its affiliates. In the opinion of management, all such transactions, including borrowings, have been in the ordinary course of business, have had substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to Cullen/Frost and its affiliates, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
