ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

As disclosed in the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Proxy Statement”) of Zions Bancorporation (the “Company”), 2013 annual incentive compensation for Harris Simmons, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Doyle Arnold, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, and performance-conditioned restricted stock units and performance-conditions stock options granted in May 2013 to Messrs. Simmons and Arnold (the “Performance RSUs” and the “Performance Stock Options”) were subject to performance vesting conditions, including acceptance of the Company’s 2014 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) submission by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). The Compensation Committee delayed determination of such 2013 annual incentives and vesting of the Performance RSUs and Performance Stock Options pending the review of the Company’s 2013 CCAR submission by the Federal Reserve.

Following the Federal Reserve’s acceptance of the Company’s resubmitted 2013 CCAR submission in the third quarter of 2014, the Compensation Committee met on Saturday, October 25, 2014, and awarded Messrs. Simmons and Arnold the 2013 annual incentive compensation listed in the below table and determined that the performance vesting conditions on the portion of the Performance RSUs listed in the table below were satisfied. The portion of the Performance RSUs that did not vest were forfeited. As indicated in the table below, the Compensation Committee determined that all of the Performance Stock Options should be forfeited.
