Item 11. Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans

 

On August 11, 2003 BancFirst Corporation received a notice of a blackout period for its BancFirst Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and Thrift Plan. The BancFirst Corporation Employee Stock Ownership and Thrift Plan (the “Plan) has selected the 401(k) Company as its new recordkeeper effective October 1, 2003 to replace BancFirst’s Trust and Investment Management Division (the “Trust Division”). The Trust Division will continue to serve as Trustee of the Plan. Due to the transition to The 401(k) Company, there will be a “blackout period” when Plan participants will be unable to direct or diversify investments in their accounts, obtain loans from the Plan, make loan payoffs, obtain distributions from the Plan, or otherwise access their accounts. The blackout period will begin on September 10, 2003 and will end the second week in October 2003. BancFirst Corporation provided notice of the blackout period to its directors and executive officers on August 18, 2003. A copy of the notice to the directors and executive officers is being provided as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
