This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) originally filed by Zions Bancorporation, a Utah corporation (the “Company” or “Zions”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 19, 2015. The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Company to purchase, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 19, 2015 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal,” and together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”), the Company’s outstanding (a) Series I Fixed/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (the “Series I Shares”), (b) Series J Fixed/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (the “Series J Shares”), and (c) depositary shares each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of Series G Fixed/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share) (the “Series G Depositary Shares” and together with the Series I Shares and the Series J Shares, the “Securities”), in an amount such that the aggregate purchase price plus Accrued Dividends (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for such Securities shall not exceed $180,000,000.

Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 1. Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal remains unchanged and this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule TO and in the Offer to Purchase or the Letter of Transmittal. You should read Amendment No. 1 together with the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.

Offer to Purchase (Exhibit(a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO)

The Offer to Purchase is hereby amended as follows:

Summary Term Sheet

The paragraph next to the heading, “Proration” on page 3 of the Offer to Purchase is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

If proration of a series of Securities is required, due to our inability to accept for purchase all Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date within a particular Acceptance Priority Level without exceeding the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount, Zions or the Tender Agent will determine the final proration factor as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, and we will announce the results of proration by press release. Fractions for the Series G Depositary Shares resulting from the proration calculation will be rounded down to the next whole share. Fractions for the Series I Shares and Series J Shares will be rounded down to the nearest $1,000 increment. The proration factor for any given series of Securities will be calculated by first determining the aggregate liquidation preference of such series of Securities that Zions would be able to purchase (taking into account that to purchase such aggregate liquidation preference, Zions would need to pay both the applicable Offer Price and applicable Accrued Dividends for such series of Securities) without exceeding the Total Consideration Amount (in the case of the Series I Shares), the Priority Level 2 Remaining Amount (in the case of the Series J Shares), or the Priority Level 3 Remaining Amount (in the case of the Series G Depositary Shares). Zions would then divide that aggregate liquidation preference for such series of Securities by the aggregate liquidation preference of such series of Securities that were tendered in the Offer.

Number of Securities; Expiration Date.

The section of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Number of Securities; Expiration Date” is amended by deleting the fourth paragraph on page 9 of the Offer to Purchase in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

If proration of a series of Securities is required, due to our inability to accept for purchase all Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date within a particular Acceptance Priority Level without exceeding the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Amount, Zions or the Tender Agent will determine the final proration factor as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, and we will announce the results of proration by press release. Fractions for the Series G Depositary Shares resulting from the proration calculation will be rounded down to the next whole share. Fractions for the Series I Shares and Series J Shares will be rounded down to the nearest $1,000 increment. The proration factor for any given series of Securities will be calculated by first determining the aggregate liquidation preference of such series of Securities that Zions would be able to purchase (taking into account that to purchase such aggregate liquidation preference, Zions would need to pay both the applicable Offer Price and applicable Accrued Dividends for such series of Securities) without exceeding the Total Consideration Amount (in the case of the Series I Shares), the Priority Level 2 Remaining Amount (in the case of the Series J Shares), or the Priority Level 3 Remaining Amount (in the case of the Series G Depositary Shares). Zions would then divide that aggregate liquidation preference for such series of Securities by the aggregate liquidation preference of such series of Securities that were tendered in the Offer.
