PROSPERITY BANCSHARES, INC. 401(k) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012
NOTE 1DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time and part-time
employees of Prosperity Bank (the Bank), a wholly owned subsidiary of Prosperity Bancshares, Inc., who have completed at least three (3) months of service and are twenty-one (21) years of age or older. An employees entry
date is the first day of the month coinciding with or next following the date they satisfy the eligibility requirements. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
During 2013, Prosperity Bancshares, Inc. completed its acquisition of East Texas Financial Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary First
Federal Bank of Texas. In conjunction with this transaction, effective April 26, 2013, the First Federal Bank of Texas, FSB 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan merged into the Plan. The total amount of assets transferred on May 15 and 16, 2013 was
$1,023,724.
Each year a participant may contribute up to the maximum amount allowable
of their total eligible salary on a pre-tax basis. If a participant is age fifty (50) or older, they may elect to defer additional amounts as catch-up contributions. Participants may change their contribution percentage on the first day of each
plan quarter or stop contributing at any time. Participants are also permitted to deposit into the Plan distributions from other plans and certain IRAs as rollover contributions.
The Bank, at its discretion, may contribute to the Plan, a matching contribution which is determined annually. In 2013, the Bank matched fifty
percent (50%) of the participants contributions subject to certain limitations, excluding catch-up contributions, up to fifteen percent (15%) of their eligible compensation on a pay period basis.
Each participants account is credited with the
participants contributions and allocations of (a) employer matching contributions and (b) Plan earnings (losses), and is charged with an allocation of administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings, account
balances, or specific participant transactions, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account.
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings
(losses) thereon. Vesting in the employer matching contribution of participant accounts plus actual earnings (losses) thereon is based on years of continuous service. To qualify for a year of service for vesting purposes, the participant must
complete one thousand (1,000) hours of service in that calendar year. Participants vest twenty percent (20%) per year after 2 years of service and are one hundred percent (100%) vested after 6 years of service.

Notes Receivable from Participants
|
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a
minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or fifty percent (50%) of their vested account balance. Loan terms generally range from 15 years, but can be longer if the loan is used to purchase a principal residence.
The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with the local prevailing rates at the time of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions. A
participant may have only one outstanding loan at any time.
A participant may receive a lump-sum amount, equal to the vested
value of their account, due to a separation of service, death, disability or retirement. The Plan does permit hardship distributions. Hardship withdrawals are governed by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations and are permitted to
satisfy certain immediate and heavy financial needs. In-service distributions are not permitted; however, distributions from a participants rollover account may be made at any time.
Forfeited balances of terminated participants nonvested accounts are
used by the Plan for several purposes, such as the payment of Plan administrative expenses or the reduction of employer matching contributions. During the year ended December 31, 2013, $24,968 in forfeitures was used to pay Plan administrative
expenses. No forfeitures were used to reduce employer matching contributions during the year. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the forfeitures account had a balance of $175,773 and $92,735, respectively.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Bank has the
right to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of Plan termination, participants will become one hundred percent (100%) vested in their accounts. The Bank will direct the distribution of participants accounts in a manner permitted
by the Plan as soon as practicable.
Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct their
contributions in various investment options totaling one hundred percent (100%). Participants may change their investment options at any time. Employer matching contributions are matched to the funds designated by the participant.
NOTE 2SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements and supplemental schedule
have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes Receivable from Participants
|
Notes receivable from participants are measured at
their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has
been recorded as of December 31, 2013 or 2012. Delinquent participant loans are reclassified as distributions based upon the terms of the Plan document.
Benefits are recorded when paid.
E.
|
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
|
Investments are reported at fair value,
which is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements. Valuations of the Plan
assets are generally made every business day. Net appreciation in fair value of investments includes realized gains and losses on investments sold during the year and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments held at year-end. Purchases
and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Plan is invested in the Reliance Trust Company Stable Value Fund Collective Investment Trust (Reliance Investment Trust), which
invests solely in the MetLife Group Annuity Contract (the Contract). The Contract is a guaranteed investment contract.
Investment contracts held by defined contribution plans are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant
measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were
to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The statements of net assets available for benefits present the fair value of the investment contract as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contract from
fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
F.
|
Administrative Expenses
|
Certain expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid directly by
the Bank and are excluded from these financial statements. Fees related to the administration of notes receivable from participants, distributions, and an annual administrative fee are charged directly to the related participants account and
are included in administrative expenses. Other administrative, trust, audit, and stock transaction fees are paid by the Plan and are also included in administrative expenses. Investment related expenses are included in net appreciation in fair value
of investments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement
|
Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09
Revenue from Contract with
Customers
(Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in
Revenue Recognition
and most industry- specific guidance throughout the Industry
Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this Update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue RecognitionConstruction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of
a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Plan
beginning after January 1, 2017, and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Plans financial statements.
NOTE 3FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Plan utilizes the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820,
Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,
with respect to its investments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for
the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets
that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow
methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
|
The assets or liabilitys fair value measurement
level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Following is a
description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

NOTE 3 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (CONTINUED)
Prosperity Bancshares, Inc
.
Common Stock:
Common stock is valued at the closing price reported
on the active market on which the individual security is traded.
Mutual Funds
: Investments in registered investment companies are stated at fair
value based upon quoted market prices of the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end.
Collective Investment Trust
: The Plans
investment in the Reliance Investment Trust is valued at the fair value of the Contract as determined by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MetLife) based on prices of the underlying investments in MetLife separate accounts. MetLife
guarantees that the rate will never be less than zero. MetLifes estimated value of the guarantee is presented as a wrapper. The fair value of the wrapper is determined by the discounted revenue method, being 15 basis points of the guaranteed
value over five years discounted by the LIBOR swap curve. If a participating plan terminates participation in the trust, the lesser of the guaranteed (contract) value or the fair value will be received.
Money Market Funds
: Money market funds are valued at carrying value, which approximates fair value.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.
Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair values of certain financial instruments could result in
different fair value measurements at the reporting date.
The following tables set forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plans assets
at fair value as of:

NOTE 5CREDIT RISK
The Plan provides for various investment options of stocks, mutual funds, fixed income securities, and other investment securities.
Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the
values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such change could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the amounts reported in participant accounts.
NOTE 6TAX STATUS
The Plan adopted a prototype nonstandardized profit sharing plan with CODA established by Alliance Benefit Group of Houston Inc. The
prototype plan sponsor obtained a favorable opinion letter dated March 31, 2008. According to the prototype plan, the Plans assets are qualified pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
Code), and the Plans income is exempt from income taxes. Various changes related to the operation of the Plan have been made to the Plan document. The Plan has not requested a determination letter from the IRS, but the Bank
believes the Plan qualifies and operates as designed. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plans financial statements.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position
that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are no uncertain positions
taken or expected to be taken.

NOTE 6TAX STATUS (CONTINUED)
The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any
tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010.
NOTE 7PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
The Plan allows transactions with certain parties who may perform services or have fiduciary responsibilities to the Plan, including the
Bank. Certain Plan investments are shares of various investments that are owned and managed by TD Ameritrade Trust Company (TDATC), who has been designated as trustee. Fees of $11,884 were paid to TDATC during 2013. The Plan invests in
