Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On September 18, 2011, the Board of Directors of International Bank of Commerce (“IBOC”), the lead bank subsidiary of International Bancshares Corporation (“IBC”) approved a restructuring plan that will result in the closing of fifty three (53) in store branches of IBOC, which, when added to branch closures approved by the Boards of other subsidiary banks of IBC a few days earlier, will result in total IBC branch closures of fifty five (55) in store branches by December 31, 2011. The aggregate deposits attributable to the 55 branches to be closed represent approximately 1.01% of IBC’s total deposits as of June 30, 2011. The branch closures are a result of reduced levels of revenue resulting from regulatory changes related to interchange fee income. This action is being taken to align IBC’s expenses with the reduced levels of revenue, protecting the Company’s financial strength while preserving IBC’s free products program (the “Restructuring Plan”).
It is anticipated that the Restructuring Plan will result in estimated combined charges for IBC of $5.56 million, before tax, to be recognized during the third and fourth quarters of 2011, broken down as follows:

These estimates are preliminary as management is still in the process of evaluating the cost of implementing the Restructuring Plan. Accordingly, the final charges may differ significantly from these estimates.
On September 22, 2011, IBC issued a news release announcing its intent to execute the Restructuring Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
