Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
|
On October 23, 2008, Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (the "Corporation") issued a press release announcing that Mr. David J. Haemisegger was elected to the Corporation's Board of Directors. The election of Mr. Haemisegger to the Corporation's Board of Directors was effective as of October 23, 2008. |
|
Mr. Haemisegger will stand for re-election at the 2009 annual shareholders meeting. Mr. Haemisegger has not been named to any committees of the Board of Directors. |
|
Mr. Haemisegger is a borrower under a previously existing line of credit with The Frost National Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The line of credit was entered into in the ordinary course of business, was made on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons, and does not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. |
