PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To be held May 2, 2023

General

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of BOK Financial Corporation (the "Company" or "BOK Financial") and its Board of Directors for use at our annual meeting of shareholders. The annual meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, at 2:30 p.m. Central Time via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BOKF2023.

These proxy materials will be mailed on or about March 23, 2023 to holders of record of common stock as of the close of business on March 6, 2023.

Voting by Proxy

If you are the “record holder” of your shares (shares owned in your own name and not through a bank or brokerage firm), you may vote by phone, by mail, over the Internet, or in person (via live webcast) at the annual meeting. We encourage you to vote by phone, mail, or on the Internet in advance of the meeting even if you plan to attend the live webcast of the meeting.

If not revoked, your proxy will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with your instructions marked on the proxy card. If you fail to mark your proxy with instructions, your proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors: (1) FOR the election of the nineteen (19) nominees for director listed in this Proxy Statement, (2) FOR the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, (3) FOR the approval of the named executives’ compensation, and (4) FOR the approval of holding the advisory vote on executive compensation every year. If you are voting shares held in the BOK Financial Thrift Plan and you fail to mark your proxy with instructions, your shares will be voted by the Trustee of the Thrift Plan in the same ratio as those shares credited to the account of the Thrift Plan members who do give instructions to the Trustee.

If you hold your shares in “street name” (shares held in the name of a bank or broker on a person’s behalf), you must vote by following the instructions on the form that you receive from your broker or nominee. Without your instructions, your broker or nominee is permitted to use its own discretion and vote your shares on certain routine matters (such as Item 2), but is not permitted to use discretion and vote your shares on non-routine matters (such as Items 1, 3 and 4). We urge you to give voting instructions to your broker on all voting items.

As to any other matter that may properly be brought before the annual meeting, your proxy will be voted as the Board of Directors may recommend. If the Board of Directors makes no recommendation, your proxy will be voted as the proxy holder named in your proxy card deems advisable. The Board of Directors does not know of any other matter that is expected to be presented for consideration at the annual meeting.

Any shareholder executing a proxy retains the right to revoke it any time prior to exercise at the annual meeting. A proxy may be revoked by (i) delivery of written notice of revocation to Tamara Sloan, Secretary, at 124 East Fourth Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103, (ii) execution and delivery of a later proxy to the address indicated on the proxy card, or (iii) voting the shares electronically at the annual meeting. If not revoked, all shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted as specified therein.

Voting and Quorum Requirements at the Meeting

Only holders of shares of common stock of the Company at the close of business on March 6, 2023 (the “record date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting. On the record date, there were 66,780,833 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

BOK Financial Corporation| 5

You will have one vote on each matter before the meeting for each share of common stock of the Company held by you on the record date.

In order to have a meeting it is necessary that a quorum be present. The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as having voted either for or against a proposal.

The affirmative vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the shareholders present or represented at the meeting in which a quorum is present and entitled to vote is required for approval of all matters other than election of directors. Directors are elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the shareholders present or represented at the meeting in which a quorum is present and entitled to vote for the election of directors, but if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected (i.e. a contested election), the shareholders shall instead elect the directors by plurality vote of the shares present in person or by proxy.

George B. Kaiser currently owns approximately 56.88% of the outstanding common stock and plans to vote all of his shares.

Solicitation of Proxies

BOK Financial is paying for all costs incurred in soliciting proxies under this Proxy Statement for the annual meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, we may use our directors, officers and regular employees to solicit proxies by telephone or otherwise. These personnel will not be specifically compensated for these services. We will pay persons holding shares of common stock for the benefit of others, such as nominees, brokerage houses, banks, and other fiduciaries, for the expense of forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owner.

Annual Report

Our Annual Report to Shareholders, covering the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, including audited financial statements, is enclosed. No parts of the Annual Report are incorporated in this Proxy Statement or are deemed to be a part of the material for the solicitation of proxies.

Principal Executive Offices of the Company

PROPOSAL TWO - RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF AUDITOR

RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the independent auditor of BOK Financial and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

At least annually, the Audit Committee reviews the Company's independent public accounting firm to decide whether to retain such firm on behalf of the Company. Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") has served as the Company’s independent auditor since the Company' inception on October 24, 1990. The Audit Committee has selected EY as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

When conducting its latest review of EY, the Audit Committee considered, among other factors:

•the professional qualifications of EY and that of the lead audit partner and other key engagement members relative to the current and ongoing needs of the Company;

•EY's historical and recent performance on the Company's audits, including the extent and quality of EY's communications with the Audit Committee ;

•the appropriateness of EY's fees relative to both efficiency and audit quality;

•EY's independence policies and processes for maintaining EY's independence;

•EY's tenure as the Company's independent public accounting firm and its related depth of understanding of the Company's business, operations and systems and the Company's accounting policies and practices; and

•EY's capability, expertise and efficiency in handling the breadth and complexity of the Company's operations.

While we are not required to do so, the Company is submitting the selection of EY to serve as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 for ratification, in order to ascertain the views of our shareholders on this appointment. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection. Representatives of EY are expected to participate in the annual meeting, will be available to answer shareholder questions and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

PROPOSAL THREE - ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE

COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

Pursuant to Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), which added section 14A to the Securities Exchange Act, shareholders may vote to approve, not less frequently than once every three years, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers disclosed in the Proxy Statement. This is commonly known as a “say on pay” vote. This allows our shareholders the opportunity to communicate annually to the Board of Directors their views on the compensation of our named executive officers through the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

We are asking you to vote for the above resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is advisory in nature and non-binding; however, the Board of Directors will consider the shareholder vote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation. Our “say on pay” vote is included in our Proxy Statement every year, and the vote on the frequency of the “say on pay” proposal is held every six years.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock, present in person or by proxy, voted at the meeting, is required for the advisory approval of this resolution.

BOK Financial Corporation | 16

PROPOSAL FOUR - ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE VOTES TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

RECOMMENDATION

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR holding the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers EVER YEAR.

Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Act also allows shareholders to vote, not less frequently than once every six years, on the frequency of the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. Shareholders may vote for the compensation vote to occur every year, every two years, or every three years, or the shareholders may abstain. This is commonly known as a “say on frequency” vote.

The Board of Directors has determined that a frequency of every year would be the most efficient timeframe for the Company's shareholders to determine the appropriateness of the compensation of our named executive officers and for the Company to respond to shareholder feedback. The Board believes that it is a good governance practice to seek shareholder input on executive compensation annually, and wishes to receive frequent shareholder input on this issue. In addition, the named executive officers’ compensation is evaluated, adjusted, and approved annually, so the Board wishes to receive shareholder input on the same cycle.

This vote is advisory in nature and non-binding; however the Board of Directors will consider the shareholder vote when determining the frequency of the vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.

This say on frequency vote is not a vote to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation; rather, shareholders are choosing among four distinct options as reflected on the proxy card (one, two, or three years, or abstain). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock, present in person or by proxy, voted at the meeting, is required for the advisory approval of this proposal.

Attendance of Meetings

The entire Board of Directors of BOK Financial met four times during 2022. All directors of BOK Financial who were members of the Board of Directors for the entire 2022 year, except for Mr. Cadieux who was absent on occasion due to business conflicts, attended at least 75% of all meetings of the Board of Directors and committees on which they served. Although BOK Financial does not have a policy with respect to attendance by the directors at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, directors are encouraged to attend. Twenty-one of the twenty-two members of the Board of Directors attended the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of Directors intends to meet at least four times in 2023.

Director Nominations

While the Board of Directors does not have a standing nomination committee, director candidates identified by management and members of the Board of Directors are discussed regularly at Board of Directors meetings. The Board has adopted a written policy on qualifications of directors, which states that directors will have all of the following characteristics: (a) impeccable integrity, (b) strong sense of professionalism, and (c) capability of serving the interests of shareholders, along with several of the following characteristics: (i) prominence in the community, (ii) ability to represent the views of under-represented constituencies in the Company’s market areas, (iii) financial analytical skill and expertise, and (iv) vision for social trends.

While the policy on director qualifications does not formally require diversity on the Board, the director qualifications policy states that the Board should encompass a diverse range of skill and expertise sufficient to provide prudent guidance to the Company, and have the right mix of characteristics and talents for the optimal functioning of the Board in its oversight of the Company. In considering a particular nominee, the Board will consider, in addition to the qualifications and characteristics described above, whether the potential director assists in achieving a mix of Board members that represents a diversity of background, perspective, and experience, including with respect to age, gender, race, place of residence, and specialized expertise. The Company's Diversity and Inclusion Policy states that the Company is committed to promoting an environment that is inclusive of the diverse values, opinions, experiences, cultures and needs of its employees, clients, suppliers, and communities.

The Board of Directors will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders if provided with the following: (i) evidence in accordance with Rule 14a-8 of compliance with shareholder eligibility requirements, (ii) the written consent of the candidate(s) for nomination as a director and verification as to the accuracy of the biographical and other information submitted in support of the candidate, (iii) a resume or other written statement of the qualifications of the candidate(s) for nomination as a director, and (iv) all information regarding the candidate(s) and the submitting shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement filed with the SEC if the candidate(s) were nominated for election to the Board of Directors. Any recommendations received from shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner that potential nominees suggested by Board members, management or other parties are evaluated. The Board of Directors encourages shareholder director candidate recommendations.

Any shareholder that wishes to present a director candidate for consideration should submit the information identified above pursuant to the procedures set forth on page 24 under “Communication with the Board of Directors”.

BOK Financial Corporation | 19

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 56.88% 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.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee consists of the following members: Joseph W. Craft III (Chairman), Chester E. Cadieux, III, David F. Griffin, George B. Kaiser, Steven J. Malcolm, E.C. Richards and Claudia San Pedro. No voting member of the Compensation Committee is an officer of the Company or has served as an officer of the Company, including its affiliates, at any time. None of our executive officers serve as a member of the Compensation Committee of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. None of our executive officers serve as a member of the board of directors of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our Board’s Compensation Committee. None of our executive officers serve as a member of the compensation committee of any other company that has an executive officer serving as a member of our Board’s Compensation Committee.

Board Role in Oversight of Risk

The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level (as disclosed in the descriptions of the committees in this Proxy Statement), in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. The full Board maintains responsibility for general oversight of strategic risks, and regularly reviews information regarding the Company’s credit, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Company’s Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s compensation policies and programs. The Risk Committee manages enterprise-wide risk management programs including capital planning, liquidity, interest rate, and operations risk (including cybersecurity and data privacy) as well as compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee manages risks associated with accounting and financial reporting and internal controls and maintains oversight of Environmental, Social and Governance reporting. The Credit Committee manages risks associated with the Company’s credit portfolio and credit-related policies. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board of Directors oversees overall strategic and reputational risks, and is regularly informed through committee reports and reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of various risks within the Company.

The Board of Directors has adopted a policy of regularly scheduled executive sessions where directors meet separately from management. The directors plan to meet in executive session after all regularly scheduled Board of Directors meetings. The directors held four executive sessions during fiscal year 2022. The presiding director at the executive sessions is Mr. Kaiser. Shareholders of the Company may communicate their concerns to the non-management directors in accordance with the procedures described below under “Communication with the Board of Directors.”

Communication with the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors of BOK Financial believes that it is important for shareholders to have a process to send communications to the Board. Accordingly, shareholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors, or a particular director, may do so by sending a letter to the Chief Financial Officer of BOK Financial at P.O. Box 2300, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74192. The mailing envelope should contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a “Shareholder-Board Communication” or “Shareholder-Director Communication.” Such letters should identify the author as a shareholder and state whether the intended recipients are all members of the Board of Directors or certain specified individual directors. The Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel will independently review the content of the letters. Communications which are constructive suggestions for the conduct of the business or policies of the Company will be promptly delivered to the identified director or directors. Communications which are complaints about specific incidents involving banking or brokerage service will be directed to the appropriate business unit for review. Director nominations will be reviewed for compliance with the requirements identified in the section of this proxy entitled “Director Nominations,” and if meeting such requirements, promptly forwarded to the director(s) identified in the communication.

Report of the Audit Committee

In 2022, the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) oversaw the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Company’s management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee discussed and reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting policies, reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Committee reviewed the Ernst & Young LLP opinion on the conformity of the audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles with Ernst & Young LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. This discussion included their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company's accounting policies, and other matters as required to be discussed with the Committee by the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB"), including PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable regulations. In addition, the Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP (a) the firm’s independence from the Company, including matters in the firm’s independence letter required by the PCAOB, and considered the compatibility of any non-audit services with the firm’s independence and (b) critical audit matters.

The Committee also reviewed and discussed with management and Ernst & Young LLP the results of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and the firm’s audit of internal control over financial reporting. The Committee meets at least quarterly with the Company's internal auditors and Ernst & Young LLP, with and without management present, regarding the overall scope and plans for their respective audits and the results of those audits, including their evaluations of internal control over financial reporting and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

The Committee is a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Audit Committee is governed by a charter which is available for review at www.bokf.com. Each of the members of the Committee qualifies as an “independent” Director under the current NASDAQ listing standards and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board of Directors has "at least one audit committee financial expert” serving on the Audit Committee. E. Carey Joullian IV is the “audit committee financial expert”, and Mr. Joullian IV is independent.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Committee and the Board have also recommended, subject to shareholder approval, the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The Board and the Audit Committee have selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), subject to shareholder approval, as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. EY has acted as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since October 24, 1990.

Audit Fees. Fees paid to EY for the audit of the annual consolidated financial statements included in BOK Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the review of the consolidated financial statements included in BOK Financial’s Forms 10-Q for the quarters included in the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and various subsidiary audits were $2,296,900 and $2,539,500 respectively.

Audit-Related Fees. Fees paid to EY for SOC 1 reports and other audit-related functions were $541,300 and $462,080 respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Tax Fees. Fees paid to EY associated with tax consultation and planning were $18,218 and $19,369 respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

All Other Fees. Fees paid to EY for other services, including trust tax return preparation that is reimbursed by our clients, were $1,245,232 and $986,447 respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The Audit Committee has a policy on auditor independence requiring the approval by the Committee of all professional services rendered by the Company's independent auditor prior to the commencement of the specified services. 100% of the services described in ”Audit Fees”, “Audit-Related Fees”, “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” were approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with the Company’s policy on auditor independence and approval of fees.

Board Leadership Structure

The positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board are not held by the same person. Mr. Kymes, the President and Chief Executive Officer, brings Company-specific experience and expertise to the role, while Mr. Kaiser, the Chairman of the Board, brings experience, oversight, and expertise from outside the Company and industry. Mr. Kaiser is also the majority shareholder of BOK Financial Corporation, giving him additional incentive to ensure the success of the Company. Keeping the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman separate allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to, and independent oversight of, management. The Board believes that having separate Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions and having an outside director serve as Chairman is the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time, given the characteristics and circumstances of the Company, and demonstrates our commitment to good corporate governance. It provides the appropriate balance between strategy development and independent oversight of management. In the event the Chairman is unable to serve, the director serving as Vice Chairman would assume the role of Chairman. The Vice Chairman is also a person separate from the Chief Executive Officer.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Compensation Program Overview

The BOK Financial executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain executives whose judgment, leadership abilities and special efforts result in successful operations for the Company and an increase in shareholder value. Various components of the program work together to:

▪Reward sustained, above-peer-bank performance

▪Encourage both individual performance and teamwork

▪Link compensation to operational and strategic results

▪Align executive interests with shareholder interests

▪Discourage inappropriate risk taking

▪Keep BOK Financial compensation competitive with peer banks

▪Create long-term commitment to the Company

The BOK Financial executive compensation program includes:

▪Salary

▪Executive Incentive Compensation (annual and long-term)

▪401(k) Plan

The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") has responsibility for establishing, implementing and approving the Company’s general compensation philosophy with regard to the senior executive officers who participate in the Company’s Executive Incentive Plan (referred to as the “Executive Incentive Plan” or the “Plan”). The Committee receives guidance from the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), who assists in evaluating employee performance, recommending business performance targets and objectives, and suggesting salary levels and awards for executives (other than himself).

Throughout this proxy statement, the Company's CEO, Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO"), and the three most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO and CFO who were serving as executive officers at the end of the last completed fiscal year are referred to as the “named executives” or the “named executive officers."

2022 Executive Compensation Summary

During 2022, the Compensation Committee planned for a number of executive role changes according to the Company's established succession plan. Due to internal executive role changes, the Committee approved compensation for three executives who changed roles in 2022 and three additional executives assuming new executive roles effective in 2023. The Committee focused on approving consistent yet competitive compensation for all executives assuming new positions.

No material changes were made to the methodologies, criteria and formulas previously established to compensate executive officers as they remained viable and effective. While the Committee foresees no material changes to methodologies, criteria and formulas established to compensate executive management, the Committee will continue to evaluate executive compensation outcomes to ensure they remain consistent with the Committee's objectives for the executive compensation program.

The Committee received reports that BOK Financial continued to enhance benefits to support the broader employee population and be responsive to competitive labor pressures. BOK Financial raised the organization’s minimum wage for several job families, enhanced health care benefits, including additional contributions to Health Savings Accounts for employees making less than a certain annual wage, and provided

BOK Financial Corporation | 33

opportunities to access a variety of flexible and convenient health and wellness programs, including telehealth offerings for all employees. Additionally, parental leave benefits were expanded to cover all parents equally regardless of gender.

The Company continued its focus on diversity and inclusion in 2022. The Company has a Diversity & Inclusion Council led by the CEO and includes other members of the executive leadership team. The Company joined the "CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion" pledge in 2020 and remains a signee. This pledge outlines the Company's commitment to cultivating a trusting environment where all ideas are welcomed, and employees feel comfortable and empowered to have discussions about diversity, equity and inclusion. For more discussion on diversity and inclusion and human capital measurements and programs see page 2 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In 2022, the Committee considered the results of the advisory vote by shareholders on the “say-on-pay” proposal presented to shareholders at the May 3, 2022 annual meeting. At the 2022 Annual Meeting, there was significant support by shareholders for the compensation program offered to the Company’s named executive officers. Accordingly, the Committee made no direct changes to the Company’s executive compensation program as a result of the say-on-pay vote. The Company’s executive compensation program continued to focus on pay for performance, aligning executives' interests with those of the Company’s shareholders, achieving a balance between annual and long-term incentives and monitoring incentive plans, and the creation of incentives, so as not to create an excessive amount of risk.

Promoting Long-Term Growth and Discouraging Excessive Risk Taking

Review and Oversight of Risk

In 2010, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and other regulatory agencies issued Interagency Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Policies (the “Compensation Guidance”). In response, Company management formed a review committee consisting of senior and executive leaders from human resources, audit, risk management, accounting, finance, legal, compliance and the various business lines (the “Incentive Risk Review Committee”). The Incentive Risk Review Committee undertook review of all the compensation plans of the Company in accordance with the Compensation Guidance. The Compensation Guidance required the Company to assess the balance of risk and reward in all compensation plans, the effectiveness of controls and risk management and the effectiveness of corporate governance, including Board of Director oversight. The Incentive Risk Review Committee reported to the Committee that the Company plans had a satisfactory balance of risk and reward and that controls, risk management and corporate governance were adequate. The Incentive Risk Review Committee reviews all new plans and any material changes to existing plans in accordance with the Compensation Guidance to continually assess the balance of risk and reward in the Company’s compensation plans. The Incentive Risk Review Committee reports the results of this review to the Committee on an annual basis.

Significant Equity Ownership

The stock ownership guidelines for executive management utilize a multiple of base salary measurement. The purpose of the ownership guidelines is to encourage executive investment in the enterprise and to align the interest of executive management with those of long-term Company shareholders. Under the guidelines, each named executive is encouraged to retain ownership of shares equaling the following amount of his base salary:

BOK Financial Corporation | 34


Executive Name			Multiple of Base Salary
Stacy C. Kymes			6 X base salary
Martin E. Grunst			5 X base salary
Scott B. Grauer			4 X base salary
Marc C. Maun			4 X base salary
Norman P. Bagwell			4 X base salary

Executives are encouraged to meet their ownership guidelines within five years of becoming an executive officer or assuming a new role with greater ownership guidelines. Stacy C. Kymes, as our new CEO as of January 1, 2022, is encouraged to retain ownership of Company shares equal to at least six times his base salary by January 1, 2027. Martin E. Grunst, as our new CFO as of March 1, 2023, is encouraged to retain ownership of Company shares equal to at least five times his base salary by March 1, 2028.

The other three named executives currently meet the annual guidelines. The Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines calculate stock ownership using a first quarter, 90-day average. The 90-day average per share price for the first quarter of 2022 was $103.38. The Committee reviews compliance with the Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines annually. Unvested service shares, performance shares, and stock options do not count towards ownership. For a further accounting of Company named executive equity ownership see the beneficial ownership table on page 7. Base salary may be found in the Summary Compensation Table on page 45.

Shareholder and President and Chief Executive Officer Emphasis on Long-Term Success

George B. Kaiser, the largest shareholder of the Company and Chairman of the Company's Board, and Stacy C. Kymes, our President and CEO as of January 1, 2022, emphasize a long-term approach to management, reducing pressure on executives to realize short-term gains to the detriment of overall long-term success.

Recoupment of Incentive Compensation

Under the Plan, in the event incorrect financial information or results were used as a basis for calculation of incentive compensation under the Plan, our Board of Directors may direct remedial action including the forfeiture of unpaid incentive compensation and/or the restitution of paid incentive compensation. Our Board of Directors may require forfeiture or restitution from any executive who is accountable for the incorrect financial information or results, as well as any executive who erroneously benefits from the incorrect financial information or results.

Evaluating Executive Compensation Relative to Peer and Overall Earnings Performance

By basing the Executive Incentive Plan on peer bank comparison, the Company avoids penalizing executives for general industry and economic downturns and encourages executives to produce the best possible results in good and bad economic times. All the named executives receive a percentage of their annual incentive compensation based on the per share earnings growth (“EPS Growth”) of the Company compared to peer banks’ EPS Growth. In 2022, Kymes was eligible to receive 80% of his annual incentive based on EPS Growth, Nell - 60%, Grauer - 40%, Maun - 40% and Bagwell - 40%, as more fully described under “Annual Incentive Bonus” on page 38. A portion of long-term incentive (LTI) target compensation, as more fully described under “Long Term Incentive Compensation” on page 40, is based on comparison to the peer bank median and is paid in restricted stock and restricted stock units (hypothetical Company common stock units), a majority of which, by the terms of the Plan, are performance based. In 2022, Kymes' LTI was 100% performance-based, while the other NEOs' LTI was 70% performance based and 30% service-based. The Committee’s goal has always been to provide competitive remuneration to executives to enable the Company to hire and retain top talent. The Committee has reviewed previous years’ earnings per share performance relative to the peer banks and compensation paid to named executives relative to compensation paid to persons in similar positions at the peer banks.

Factors Used for Establishing Executive Compensation

The following is an explanation of the primary data, metrics and criteria used by the Committee to determine compensation as more fully described in "Components of Compensation" below:

Earnings Per Share Growth Compared to Peers

•EPS Growth is a component of the annual and long term incentive under the Executive Incentive Plan.

•The Committee views EPS Growth as an important variable used in public markets to measure profitability and determine the Company’s stock price and, thus, shareholder value.

Business Performance

•"Business Performance" is determined by comparing the two-year average actual financial contribution of a business unit of the Company to its planned performance. Business Performance targets are established using standard Company methodologies and approved annually by the Board of Directors.

•Linking compensation to Business Performance motivates executives to achieve superior results in their particular business units, contributing to Company-wide profitability.

Strategic Objectives

•At the beginning of each year, the President and CEO meets with each of the named executives and other executives of the Company to establish individual strategic objectives ("Strategic Objectives").

•Strategic Objectives focus the executive team on expanding organizational capabilities, optimizing business models, and managing risk.

•Progress is discussed with each named executive and the other executives periodically throughout the year.

Peer Group Compensation Data

•The Company’s internal compensation group completes an annual peer review of executive compensation using publicly available information, including proxy statements.

•The Committee uses this information to assist in setting base salary and to establish annual and long-term compensation targets in accordance with the Plan.

•The Committee annually updates the peer group of bank holding companies in accordance with the following guidelines that were updated in 2021:

•The peer banks will include only publicly-traded, SEC registered, United States bank holding companies (BHCs) with assets ranging from $16.5 billion smaller to $16.5 billion larger than BOKF, per the most recently filed quarterly earnings report, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K.

•The peer group size will not be less than 14 nor greater than 24 banks. If asset range causes a group of less than 14 peer banks, the next BHC, greater or smaller in asset size, will be included in the peer bank group.

•The Committee uses the peer bank group for determining comparable executive compensation and relative EPS Growth.

BOK Financial Corporation | 36

The Committee determined the "Peers" for the period ending December 31, 2022:


Financial Institution
Associated Banc-Corp			Prosperity Bancshares, Inc.
BankUnited, Inc.			South State Corporation
Commerce Bancshares, Inc.			Synovus Financial Corp
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc.			Texas Capital Bancshares, Inc.
East West Bancorp, Inc.			UMB Financial Corporation
F.N.B. Corporation			Valley National Bancorp
Hancock Whitney Corporation			Webster Financial Corporation
PacWest Bancorp			Western Alliance Bancorporation
Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc.			Wintrust Financial Corporation

Peer groups used to establish trailing average earnings per share growth are found in our previous proxy statement filings. In 2022, the Committee approved an update to the peer group methodology that will begin with the Company's 2023 peer group. The new methodology expands the asset range, both above and below the Company, broadens the type of banking institutions that may be peers, and has specific geographic constraints. This methodology will be explained in more detail as the 2023 peer group is described in future years.

Components of Executive Compensation

Comparable Executive Position

For purposes of determining salary and setting targets for both annual and long-term incentive, each named executive’s position is compared to the Peers' executive positions, based upon information reported in shareholder proxy statements, as follows (each a “Comparable Executive Position”): the Company’s CEO is compared against the chief executive officers of the Peers; the CFO is compared against the chief financial officers of the Peers; and the named executive officers, other than the CEO and CFO (i.e., Grauer, Maun, and Bagwell), are compared against the highest paid positions of our Peers, excluding the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer.

Salary

In determining base salary of named executives, the Committee is directed by the Plan to compare the median base salary of each named executive to that of the Comparable Executive Position from shareholder proxy statements of the Peers. Adjustments to base salary of a named executive may occur based upon a named executive’s experience, scope and scale of position, performance history and effectiveness in building organizational capabilities. For 2022, the BOK Financial base salary for each of the named executives compared to the median of his Peer was as follows:

BOK Financial Corporation | 37


Executive Name			BOKF Base Pay Compared to Peer Median for Comparable Executive Position
Stacy C. Kymes			98%
Steven E. Nell [1]			110%
Scott B. Grauer			104%
Marc C. Maun			96%
Norman P. Bagwell			102%

[1] Mr. Nell retired effective February 28, 2023.

Executive Incentive Compensation

The Executive Incentive Plan allows the named executives, and certain executives that report directly to, or are designated by, the CEO, to earn (1) an annual cash incentive, which has historically been paid in the first quarter of the year following that to which the service relates, and (2) long-term incentive, which may be paid through the award of stock options, service-based or performance-based restricted stock or restricted stock units (hypothetical Company common stock units), or a combination of the foregoing as determined by the Committee. For 2022, the Committee elected to award long-term incentive in the form of restricted shares and restricted stock units. No annual cash incentive for any one named executive in any year may exceed $2,000,000. No more than 60,000 shares may be issued to a single named executive in any one year. Share-based compensation is awarded based on the closing stock price on the second Friday in January, and is granted on the date on which the Committee approves long-term incentive targets, typically at the February Committee meeting.

Annual Incentive Bonus

The “Annual Incentive Bonus” is determined as follows:

(i)The target Annual Incentive Bonus for each named executive is determined annually by the Committee and is a percentage of base salary. The Committee reviews the median Annual Incentive Bonus for named executives’ Comparable Executive Position and adjusts the target Annual Incentive Bonus based upon factors determined by the Committee such as years in the position, responsibilities and performance (the “Annual Incentive Target”).

(ii)“Earnings Per Share Performance” is the percentile ranking of the Company after (a) calculating the two-year average earnings per share growth (“Average Growth”) for each Peer and for the Company and (b) ranking the Company’s Average Growth compared to the Peer's Average Growth, starting with the highest Average Growth and ending with the lowest Average Growth. A named executive shall earn that portion of his or her Annual Incentive Bonus based upon Earnings Per Share Performance (an “EPS Bonus”) using a linear interpolation pursuant to which 0% of the EPS Bonus shall be earned if the Earnings Per Share Performance is below the 30th percentile, 33% of the EPS Bonus shall be earned if the Earnings Per Share Performance is at the 30th percentile, 100% of the EPS Bonus shall be earned if the Earnings Per Share Performance is at the 50th percentile, and 200% of the EPS Bonus shall be earned if the Earnings Per share Performance is at the 80th percentile or above, as illustrated in the following matrix:

BOK Financial Corporation | 38

(iii)A named executive shall earn that portion of his Annual Incentive Bonus based upon Business Performance (the “Business Performance Bonus”) using a linear interpolation pursuant to which 0% of the Business Performance Bonus shall be earned if Business Performance is below 80%, 33% of the Business Performance Bonus shall be earned if 80% of Business Performance is achieved, 100% of the Business Performance Bonus shall be earned if 100% of Business Performance is achieved, and 200% of the Business Performance Bonus shall be earned if 120% or more of Business Performance is achieved as illustrated in the following matrix:

(iv)Each named executive is eligible to receive 20% of his Annual Incentive Bonus based on the Strategic Objective goal achievement. The Strategic Objectives are established by the Chief Executive Officer and were reviewed and approved by the Committee on February 22, 2022 for service performed in 2022. Strategic Objectives recognize the importance of focus by each named executive on expanding organizational capabilities, optimizing business models, and managing risk.

(v)For 2022, the Annual Incentive Targets and payouts for the named executives are as follows:

BOK Financial Corporation | 39


Annual Incentive Bonus Factors
Executive Name	Target Award % of Base	BOKF EPS Growth(1)		Business Performance(2)		Strategic Objectives		Final Payouts (4)
		Weight	Payout (%) (1)	Weight	Payout (%)	Weight	Achieved (%)(3)	($)	% of Base

Norman P. Bagwell	90%	40%	—%	40%	200%	20%	100%	$436,500	90%

(1) For 2022, BOKF Earnings per Share performance percentile rank was 11.1% based on the 2021 peer group, resulting in a 0.0% payout.

(2) Nell's Business Performance is based on overall Company performance; Grauer's Business Performance is based on the Wealth Management business unit performance; Maun's Business Performance is based on the Regional Banking business unit performance; and Bagwell's Business Performance is based on the Texas Markets business unit performance. Targets are established annually by standard Company methodologies.

(3) At the February 28, 2023 Compensation Committee meeting, Kymes, as current CEO, presented his detailed assessments of the executives' performance against the strategic objectives established by the Committee, and the Committee approved those achievement percentages. Kymes' achievement percentage was recommended by the Committee Chair and approved by the Committee on that date.

(4) Final payouts were approved by the Committee on February 28, 2023.

Long Term Incentive Compensation

“Long Term Incentive Compensation” is determined as follows:

(i) The Long Term Incentive Compensation target amount for each Comparable Executive Position at each Peer is calculated based upon such Peer's latest proxy statements (the “Peer Long Term Incentive Compensation Amount”).

(ii) The Long Term Incentive Compensation awarded to each named executive is based upon the median of all the Peer Long Term Incentive Compensation Amounts corresponding to such Plan participant’s Comparable Executive Position, adjusted by the Committee using such factors as years in the position, responsibilities, and performance. The amounts paid to the Executives as restricted stock awards may be found in column (e) of the Summary Compensation Table on page 45.

(iii) For 2022, the named executives were awarded the following percentage of Long Term Incentive Compensation:


Executive Name	2021 LTI Target (as a % of base)	Performance-Based (as a % of target)	Service-Based (as a % of target)
Stacy C. Kymes	210%	100%	-
Steven E. Nell	115%	70%	30%
Scott B. Grauer	125%	70%	30%
Marc C. Maun	100%	70%	30%
Norman P. Bagwell	105%	70%	30%

Long Term Incentive Compensation is paid through the award of service-based restricted stock, performance-based restricted stock, or a combination of service-based and performance-based restricted stock, as determined by the Committee annually prior to March 15 of the applicable year. Service-based and

BOK Financial Corporation | 40

performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units (hypothetical Company common stock units) are issued pursuant to, and subject to the additional terms of (including restrictions and forfeiture), the BOK Financial Corporation 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). Performance-based restricted stock and units vest once earned as described in paragraph (ii) below and generally may not be transferred by the named executive until two years after vesting. Service-based restricted stock and units vest once earned as described in paragraph (iv) below, and generally may not be transferred by the named executive until two years after vesting.

(i)“Long Term Incentive EPS Performance” is the percentile ranking of the Company after (a) calculating the trailing three-year period earnings per share growth (determined as of the second anniversary of the end of the year in respect of which the performance-based restricted stocks were awarded) (the “Three Year EPS Average Growth”) for each Peer and for the Company and (b) ranking the Company’s Three Year EPS Average Growth compared to the Peers’ Three Year EPS Growth Average, starting with the highest Three Year EPS Average Growth and ending with the lowest Three Year EPS Average Growth.

(ii)Each annual award of performance-based restricted stocks or units are reviewed for performance as of the second year-end anniversary of the year in respect of which the performance-based restricted stocks were awarded (the “Reviewed Restricted Stocks”). A named executive shall earn Reviewed Restricted Stocks using a linear interpolation pursuant to which 0% of the Reviewed Restricted Stocks shall be earned if the Long Term Incentive EPS Performance is below the 30th percentile, 33% of the Reviewed Restricted Stocks shall be earned if the Long Term Incentive EPS Performance is at the 30th percentile, 100% of the Reviewed Restricted Stocks shall be earned if the Long Term Incentive EPS Performance is at the 50th percentile, and 200% of the Reviewed Restricted Stocks shall be earned if the Long Term Incentive EPS Performance is at the 80th percentile or above as illustrated in the following matrix:

(iii)In the event that the Long Term Incentive EPS Performance is such that performance exceeds the target grant (e.g. 120% of target), the named executive receives an additional grant of performance-based restricted stock that equals the difference between the number of performance-based restricted stock that was granted at target and that which was earned pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (ii) (e.g. 20%) (the “Shares Exceeding Target”). The vesting and transfer restrictions on the Shares Exceeding Target shall be equal in duration to the Reviewed Restricted Stock. In the event that the Long Term Incentive EPS Performance is such that performance does not exceed the target grant, the named executive shall forfeit the performance-based restricted stock received in accordance with the preceding paragraph (ii) but not earned by the named executive.

BOK Financial Corporation | 41

(iv)To the extent the Company’s earnings per share for the year in which service-based restricted stock or units are granted (the “Service-Based Performance Year”) does not equal or exceed $1.00 per share (adjusted for stock dividends or distributions, recapitalizations, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, stock splits or the like), the named executive shall forfeit all the service-based restricted stock granted to him in such Service-Based Performance Year on or before March 15 of the year following the Service-Based Performance Year. To the extent the Company’s earnings per share for the year following the grant of service-based restricted stock equal or exceed $1.00 per share (adjusted for stock dividends or distributions, recapitalizations, merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, stock splits or the like), the named executive retains all the service-based restricted stock granted to him or her the previous year and such shares shall be earned and vest three years following the second Friday in January of the year in which such shares were granted.

Executives may contribute to the BOKF 401(k) Plan (also referenced sometimes as the BOKF Thrift Plan). Employee contributions are matched by the Company up to 6% of base compensation based on years of service and subject to 401(k) Plan limits. For 2022, the Company provided a 5% supplemental match to all eligible matched contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Named executives may direct the investments of their accounts in a variety of options, including BOK Financial common stock.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Other than participation in the plans and programs described above, benefits which are very immaterial in nature and disclosed in footnote 4 to the Summary Compensation Table on page 45 and benefits which are provided to employees generally such as health and dental insurance, the Company does not provide perquisites or other personal benefits to named executive officers.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The BOK Financial executive compensation program has many objectives, all of which are designed to enhance Company value. Because no single type of compensation award or performance criteria could achieve all objectives, several types of compensation performance criteria and awards are used to achieve the maximum benefit from executive compensation.

There is no pre-established policy or target for allocating executive compensation between cash and equity, long-term and short-term. Rather, the Committee considers its varied objectives, personal performance, Company performance and data regarding peer bank compensation to establish the appropriate level and mix of incentive compensation. The Committee has generally chosen not to consider the benefits to named executives from previously awarded compensation other than to establish a baseline for future compensation.

Company executive compensation objectives include:

Sustained, Above Peer Performance - BOK Financial rewards sustained above peer performance through the Executive Incentive Plan which uses comparative EPS Growth as a metric.

Individual Performance and Teamwork - Annual incentive compensation promotes individual performance with a percentage of annual incentive compensation being based on Business Performance (except for the CEO) and a percentage being based on EPS Growth, with potential downward adjustments for failure to meet individual performance goals. Long-term compensation, which is awarded entirely as equity, promotes teamwork by aligning all executives’ interests with the success of the Company as a whole.

Link Compensation to Operational Results - By using EPS Growth and Business Performance as the metrics for performance, both annual and long-term compensation are directly tied to financial performance of the Company. The Committee also considers the financial success of the Company when determining salary.

BOK Financial Corporation | 42

Competition with Peer Banks - To attract and retain superior executives, BOK Financial strives to provide levels of compensation comparable to competitor banks. The Committee considers peer compensation data when establishing salary and incentive compensation targets.

Align Executive Interests with Shareholder Interests - While BOK Financial does not have a specific policy or target for determining the allocation between equity and cash awards, the Company does promote equity ownership to align executive interests with shareholder interests. All long-term executive compensation is paid in restricted stock. Stock ownership guidelines as described on pages 34 and 35 require executives to retain Company stock.

Change of Control and Termination Benefits

The Company has a limited number of change of control benefits for executive officers. If an executive, or any employee of the Company, is terminated within one year after a “change of control” (as defined in footnote 3 on page 51), and such termination is other than “for cause” (as defined in footnote 4 on page 51), then all unvested performance shares and stock options he or she has been granted vest. Stock options must then be exercised within 90 days of the change of control.

Executive officers receive the same severance benefits as other Company employees which are based upon the amount of time a person has been employed by the Company. The named executives are entitled to receive additional severance pursuant to their employment agreements as more fully described in Potential Payments upon Termination found on page 50. The Company believes that the severance and termination payments help recruit and retain senior executives by protecting them in the event their positions are adversely impacted by an unexpected change in circumstance and are consistent with those offered by competitors.

Equity Grant Policy

In 2019, the equity grant date (the "Grant Date") became the date on which the Committee approves long-term incentive targets, typically at the February Committee meeting. There is no program or policy to coordinate the granting of equity with the release of material non-public information.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code

If an executive is entitled to nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and such benefits do not comply with Section 409A, then the benefits are taxable in the first year they are not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture. In such case, the Service Provider is subject to regular federal income tax, interest and an additional federal income tax of 20% of the benefit included in the income. The Company believes all deferred compensation benefits currently comply with 409A.

Pension Benefits

The BOKF Pension Plan has been frozen since December 31, 2005. The Board of Directors passed a resolution on November 2, 2021 to terminate the plan effective February 28, 2022. Plan participants were given the option to 1) receive a lump sum distribution, 2) rollover their balance to an IRA or qualified plan, or 3) have an annuity purchased on their behalf. Plan assets were distributed on September 2, 2022. The normal retirement age under the BOK Financial Pension Plan (the Plan) is age 65.

Given the termination of the Plan, the following table shows that named executive officers' present value of accumulated benefits in the Plan is zero. The payments made to those with balances on the distribution date are included below:


(a)	(b)	(c)	(d)		(e)
Executive Name(1), (2)	Plan Name	Number of Years Credited Service(3)	Present Value of Accumulated Benefit		Payments During Last Fiscal Year
Stacy C. Kymes(4)	BOKF Pension Plan	9	$	—	$	61,135
Scott B. Grauer(5)	BOKF Pension Plan	15	$	—	$	157,977

(1)Messrs. Nell and Maun are named executives but are not listed as they elected to receive payouts from the pension plan in prior years and did not have a balance entering 2022.

(2)Mr. Bagwell is a named executive but is not listed, as he does not participate in the BOKF Pension Plan.

(3)Named executives are credited with the number of years employed by the Company since the Pension Plan’s inception in 1987 (through December 31, 2005 when the number of years of credited service was frozen).

(4)Mr. Kymes' distribution in the amount of $61,135 was made via rollover effective September 2, 2022.

(5)Mr. Grauer's distribution in the amount of $157,977 was made via rollover effective September 2, 2022.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

In 2018, BOKF amended its non-qualified deferred compensation program to allow executives to defer portions of their compensation, including the deferral of equity awards, beginning with the 2019 equity award, which vested in early 2022. Several members of the executive team have elected to participate in the program each of the last three years. Named executives participating in the plan are captured below.

The following table describes the current balance of deferral accounts for the named executives:


Executive Name(1)	Executive Contributions in Last FY(2) ($)		Registrant Contributions in Last FY ($)		Aggregate Earnings in Last FY(3) ($)		Aggregate Withdrawals/ Distributions ($)		Aggregate Balance at Last FYE(4) ($)
(a)	(b)		(c)		(d)		(e)		(f)
Steven E. Nell	$	1,009,501	$	—	$	79,780	$	—	$	1,089,281
Marc C. Maun(4)	$	548,416	$	—	$	(305,388)	$	—	$	2,677,593

(1)Kymes, Grauer, and Bagwell are named executives but are not listed as they do not participate in the BOKF non-qualified deferred compensation program.

BOK Financial Corporation | 49

(2)Messrs. Nell and Maun each elected to defer 100% of their 2019 equity awards, which vested on January 11, 2022. The gross value of the awards were deferred to their non-qualified deferred compensation accounts, less applicable taxes. Net amounts related to the 2019 equity award are as follows: Nell, $1,009,501; Maun, $548,416. Contributions made during calendar year 2022 related to compensation earned in 2021 are not reflected in the table above.

(3)Messrs. Nell and Maun's earnings included gains or losses reported on investments, as well as dividends paid and changes in fair value of the Company's common stock. These earnings include accrued dividends related to the 2019 equity award which are also reflected in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table on page 45. Net earnings on the accrued dividends are as follows: Nell, $63,992; Maun, $35,035. Plan participants do not receive above-market or preferential earnings under the Company's nonqualified deferred compensation plan and as such, no nonqualified deferred compensation earnings are reported in the Summary Compensation Table on page 45.

(4)Mr. Maun's aggregate balance includes amounts reported for 2020 and 2021 in the Summary Compensation Table on page 45, as follows: 100% of his 2021 non-equity incentive plan compensation in the amount of $348,143; 100% of his 2020 non-equity incentive plan compensation in the amount of $454,539. Mr. Maun did not elect to defer his 2022 non-equity incentive plan compensation.

Participation in the BOKF Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan is limited to a select group of management and other highly compensated employees. The Company determines who is eligible to participate on an annual basis.

Participants make contribution elections annually during a two-week enrollment period each November. Participants may elect to defer up to 90% of their base salary/draw, and up to 100% of any commissions, quarterly or annual incentive bonuses, or annual discretionary bonus on a pre-tax basis. Executives also have the option to defer their annual equity awards into the Plan upon vesting, e.g., the value of an award granted in 2019 will move into the plan upon vesting in 2022.

Participants have the ability to invest non-equity contributions in a variety of fund options; equity awards are non-diversifiable until the two-year hold requirement is met, as described in "Long Term Incentive Compensation" on page 40. Account transactions, including asset allocation changes, rebalances, and transfers, are processed daily.

Distribution elections may be made to pay balances at retirement/termination or in-service, while the Participant is still employed by the Company. Retirement balances may be paid out to participants in a lump sum, in annual installments over a period of up to 15 years, or in a partial lump sum with the balance paid in installments. In-service balances can be paid in a lump sum or in annual installments over a period of up to five years.

Balances of terminated employees are generally paid in a lump sum, unless an in-service installment pay out has already begun.

(1)Executive payments upon termination do not include payments of deferred compensation which, if applicable, are described on page 49. The table assumes (i) that the executive has been paid all amounts owed through the date of termination, (ii) the closing price of BOK Financial common stock of $103.79 (as reported on NASDAQ as of December 31, 2022); and (iii) salary, unvested restricted stock, and unvested restricted unit information as of December 31, 2022. Except as expressly provided herein or amounts owed up through the date of termination, executive does not receive any additional payments in the event of voluntary termination, early retirement (prior to age 65), retirement (age 65 or older), involuntary for cause termination, change of control, or upon death or disability.

(2)When the executive’s employment is terminated without cause, he or she shall receive standard severance pay in effect at the time of termination, and in addition, an amount equal to the executive’s then annual salary payable in one lump sum payment.

Restricted stock and restricted units held by the executive shall continue to be held by the executive but shall remain subject to all applicable restrictions.

(3)When the executive’s employment is terminated without cause following a change of control, he or she shall receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to two times executive’s then Annual Salary at the time of termination in lieu of standard and enhanced severance amounts. “Change of Control” occurs when either (i) George B. Kaiser, affiliates of George B. Kaiser, George B. Kaiser Foundation, George Kaiser Family Foundation, and/or members of the family of George B. Kaiser collectively cease to own more shares of the voting capital stock of BOK Financial than any other shareholder (or group of shareholders acting in concert to control BOK Financial to the exclusion of George B. Kaiser, affiliates of George B. Kaiser, George B. Kaiser Foundation, George Kaiser Family Foundation, and/or members of the family of George B. Kaiser), or (ii) BOK Financial shall cease to own directly and indirectly more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting capital stock of BOKF, NA.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

BOK Financial is committed to being a responsible and good corporate citizen as we recognize that progress and growth for everyone in our communities is beneficial to our communities, our customers, our employees, our business, our shareholders and our other stakeholders. In our business operations, one of our goals is to make the communities where we operate a better place to live and work. As an employer, we value diversity, promote inclusion and foster career growth for all of our team members. Environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices help to drive our Company goals and values, and we have made it a top priority to implement ESG policies and procedures at BOK Financial.

We have developed an ESG working group that is composed of leaders from across our Company. The ESG working group analyzes ESG issues and evaluates bank practices that support ESG efforts. Our ESG working group also prepares an annual ESG Report (the “ESG Report”) that is reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee.

Environmental

Our Company and employees are committed to making a positive impact every day, and we know that being a good steward of natural resources is an essential part of being a good corporate citizen and improving the future of those we serve. We have taken many measures to reduce our environmental impact, including the following:

•Implemented utility use with smart technology;

•Instituted recycling programs for paper and waste;

•Use filtered water to reduce water waste;

•Implemented digital business strategies to reduce paper usage, postage and other support functions that impact the environment; and

•Use virtual collaboration tools to reduce employee travel and commutes.

Social

Community and Clients

Actively advancing the communities we serve is core to who BOK Financial is as a company. This benefit to the communities in which we operate emanates itself through affordable housing investments, community development loans and other Company products and services.

Our social efforts focus on community services supporting low- to moderate-income ("LMI") individuals, promoting economic development, and revitalizing or stabilizing LMI geographies. We provide volunteers, serve on boards and give financial support to a variety of organizations that serve the most vulnerable citizens in our communities by addressing such issues as basic needs, education and economic development.

In 2022, our Company continued to focus on serving underserved minority communities by supporting nonprofit organizations providing programs to help close the gaps in four key areas: income inequality, workforce development, education and mentoring, and social justice inequities. As part of the focus, the Company and BOKF Foundation provided a combined $430,000 to six nonprofit organizations in Tulsa and Dallas between 2021 and 2022.

In 2021 BOK Financial was an active partner in the 10-day remembrance of the centennial anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, joining with the BOKF Foundation to commit more than $250,000 in support of the Greenwood Rising: Black Wall Street history center as well as events and activities such as Economic

BOK Financial Corporation | 58

Empowerment Day. The interactive conference created a focal point for the national conversation about the racial wealth gap and inequality in access to capital.

Volunteerism is an important component of our community support, with many of our employees participating on boards and conducting financial education training and more to help improve the communities we serve. The Company supports those efforts by providing each employee eight hours of paid volunteer time annually to support causes or organizations that are making a difference in the community, building key relationships and strategic partnerships that help drive our success. This commitment to volunteerism is led from the top of the Company, with members of the executive leadership team serving on the boards of more than 20 different community organizations.

BOK Financial earned an outstanding rating in its most recent Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) exam. The Company maintains a strong CRA program by:

•Tracking lending opportunities in our communities and working with government, business and our non-profit partners;

•Reviewing lending distribution quarterly;

•Annually (or as needed) reviewing assessment area boundaries;

•Establishing and communicating goals for CRA performance;

•Measuring the Company against our peers;

•Considering CRA implications for opening and closing retail bank offices;

•Investing in our communities; and

•Partnering and volunteering with non-profits and organizations that impact LMI individuals and communities.

BOK Financial Corporation | 59

in early 2019, helping to bring into focus the considerable efforts already occurring across the Company. By the end of 2020, all managers at BOK Financial were assigned training on recognizing and mitigating unconscious bias. In 2021, the Company broadened our definition of diversity and inclusion to look beyond race, ethnicity, and gender to reflect the value of all diverse perspectives.

Recent

Recognition: In 2020, BOK Financial joined the CEO Action Pledge for Diversity and Inclusion, the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

The Company also became one of the first employers to take the Mayor’s Pay Equity Pledge, a voluntary employer-led initiative created in participation with the Mayor’s Commission on the Status of Women with a goal of closing the gender pay gap in Tulsa.

BOK Financial was recognized as a 2020 and 2021 Top Inclusive Workplace by Mosaic, the Tulsa Regional Chamber’s diversity business council.

In each of 2021 and 2022, the Company was recognized by DiversityInc® as one of the nation’s top 20 regional companies for diversity and inclusion.

In 2021, the Company received the Veteran Employer Champion award.

Supply Chain

Another focal point of our social awareness and policies is to ensure we have an inclusive supply chain comprised of diverse vendors, representing minorities, women, veterans, LGBTQ and small businesses. Our goal is to support diverse businesses and promote innovation, creating economic impact by uplifting the communities where those businesses are located through job creation, increased wages and tax revenues. We are continuously working towards a goal of increasing our spend with small businesses and minority owned vendors and suppliers.

Governance

“Be known for unwavering integrity” is a core value of BOK Financial and is central to how we mitigate and manage risk. Our corporate ethics and governance reflect the Company’s focus on accountability and drive our three-part vision of valuing our employees, customers, and communities we serve. Our governance structure, thoughtful policies and active engagement with our employees underscore our commitment to this principal. We keep ethics and governance in focus through regular training and attestations of our employees. Our employees are annually trained on and attest to the Company’s Standards of Conduct. In addition, we annually train our employees on compliance management requirements, BSA/AML (Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering) processes, physical security, risk culture and internal controls, risk reporting and awareness, and information security awareness. Annually, our directors attest to and the Audit Committee approves the Code of Ethics. Further, we have the following policies and practices to ensure that our Company’s ethics are adhered to: Standards of Conduct, Whistleblower Policy, Anti-Money Laundering Policy, Data Privacy and Security, and Customer Privacy.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION REVIEW AND APPROVAL POLICY

The Company has a written related party transaction policy, approved by the Audit Committee, which requires that all related party transactions reportable pursuant to SEC regulation S-K, Item 404(a) must be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) for review. The Audit Committee conducts appropriate review and oversight of non-credit related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations in accordance with NASDAQ Rule 5630(a), and the Credit Committee reviews and oversees related party credit transactions.

The related-party transaction must be intended for the benefit of the Company and made on terms no less favorable than those terms for unrelated persons. The CFO must also consider whether the transaction is occurring at arm’s length and the impact of the related party transaction on financial statement accounting and disclosure.

If the CFO determines that the transaction would be material, he must present the details and his conclusion to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee will submit the related party transaction to the Audit Committee for approval based upon the same criteria as considered by the CFO, in addition to such criteria as may be deemed relevant by the members.

The Company annually requires each of its directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related person transactions. The Company’s Office of General Counsel reviews all transactions disclosed in the officer and director questionnaires and discusses any transactions not previously identified with the CFO and verifies compliance with independence requirements under NASDAQ Rule 5605.

ELIMINATION OF DUPLICATE PROXIES

Under SEC rules, a single package of notices may be sent to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family unless contrary instructions have been received. Each shareholder continues to receive a separate notice within the package. This procedure, referred to as "house holding," reduces the volume of duplicate materials shareholders receive and reduces mailing expenses. Shareholders may revoke their consent to future householding mailings or enroll in householding by contacting Broadridge toll free at 1-866-540-7095 or by writing to Broadridge, Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. BOK Financial will deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the proxy materials to any shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy was delivered. Shareholders who wish to receive a separate set of proxy materials now should contact Broadridge at the same phone number or mailing address.
