Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers |
||
|
On November 8, 2005, Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. (the "Corporation") issued a press release announcing that Mr. Crawford H. Edwards was elected to the Corporation's Board of Directors. The election of Mr. Edwards to the Corporation's Board of Directors was effective as of November 7, 2005. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this item by reference. |
||
|
Mr. Edwards will serve in the class of directors whose terms expire in 2007. Mr. Edwards has not been named to any committees of the Board of Directors. |
||
|
Mr. Edwards 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 did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. |
