PROXY STATEMENT

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of BancFirst Corporation of proxies to be used at our 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In this proxy statement, we refer to the Board of Directors as the “Board” and to BancFirst Corporation as “we,” “us” or the “Company.” This proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card or voter instruction card and our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K were first mailed to shareholders on or about April 25, 2013. This proxy statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the Annual Meeting. Please read it carefully.

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

What matters will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

You will be voting on:

•

Proposal 1: To amend our Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors;

•

Proposal 2: To amend our Certificate of Incorporation to remove the supermajority vote required to amend Section A of Article 7 of our Certificate of Incorporation, which deals with the number, classes and terms of directors;

•

Proposal 3: To elect the 19 directors nominated by our Board of Directors and named in this proxy statement if Proposal 1 to declassify our Board is approved;

•

Proposal 4: To elect the seven directors nominated by our Board of Directors and named in this proxy statement as Class III directors to serve for a three-year term if Proposal 1 to declassify the Board is NOT approved;

•

Proposal 5: To amend the BancFirst Corporation Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan by 200,000 shares; and

•

To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

What are the Board’s recommendations?

The Board recommends a vote:

•

for the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to declassify the Board of Directors;

•

for the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to remove the supermajority vote required to amend certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation;

•

for the election of the 19 directors nominated by our Board of Directors and named in this proxy statement if Proposal 1 to declassify the board is approved;

•

for the election of the seven directors nominated by our Board of Directors and named in this proxy statement as Class III directors to serve for a three year term if Proposal 1 to declassify the board is NOT approved;

•

for the amendment to the BancFirst Corporation Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan by 200,000 shares; and

•

for or against other matters that come before the Annual Meeting, as the proxy holders deem advisable.

There are two proposals to elect directors—which one should I complete?

You should vote for BOTH proposals because, depending on whether or not Proposal No. 1 is approved, either Proposal No. 3 or Proposal No. 4 will be applicable—but we will not know which one will be applicable until the proxy votes are counted.

If Proposal No. 1 is approved, then the Board of Directors will no longer be classified, and pursuant to Proposal No. 3, all 19 director nominees identified in Proposal No. 3 will stand for election to serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

If Proposal No.1 is not approved, then the Board of Directors will remain classified and a total of seven (7) directors will stand for election as Class III directors under Proposal No. 3, to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

The Board set April 8, 2013 as the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “record date”). You are entitled to vote if you were a shareholder of record of our common stock as of the close of business on April 8, 2013. Your shares can be voted at the Annual Meeting only if you are present in person or represented by a valid proxy.

How many votes do I have?

You will have one vote for each share of our common stock you owned at the close of business on the record date, provided those shares are either held directly in your name as the shareholder of record or were held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, bank or other nominee.

What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and beneficial owner?

Most of our shareholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, BancFirst Trust and Investment Management, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by the Company. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. We have enclosed a proxy card for you to use.

Beneficial Owner. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee, who is considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting, unless you request, complete and deliver a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. Your broker, bank or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares.

What will happen if I do not vote my shares?

Stockholders of Record. If you are the shareholder of record of your shares and you do not vote by proxy card or in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners. If you are the beneficial owner of your shares, your broker or nominee may vote your shares only on those proposals on which it has discretion to vote. If no voting instructions are provided, these record holders can vote your shares only on discretionary, or routine, matters and not on non-discretionary, or non-routine, matters. Uninstructed shares whose votes cannot be counted on non-routine matters result in what are commonly referred to as “broker non-votes.”

If you do not give your broker voting instructions, your broker will not be entitled to vote your shares on Proposals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. We urge you to provide instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee so that your votes may be counted on all of these important matters.

How many votes can be cast by all shareholders?

Each share of BancFirst Corporation common stock is entitled to one vote. There is no cumulative voting. We had 15,228,277 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A majority of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a “quorum.” Shares that are present and entitled to vote on one or more of the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting are counted as present for establishing a quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present, we expect that the Annual Meeting will be adjourned until we obtain a quorum.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Proposal 1: Amendment of Our Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify Our Board of Directors

This proposal requires approval by the holders of at least 66²/₃% of the issued and outstanding common stock. Any shares that are not voted (whether by abstention or broker non-vote) will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Proposal 2: Amendment of Our Certificate of Incorporation to Remove the Supermajority Vote Required to Amend Section A of Article 7 of our Certificate of Incorporation

Proposal 3: Election of 19 Directors if Proposal 1 is Approved

The election of directors requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock. If Proposal 1 is approved and Proposal 3 is voted upon at the Annual Meeting in lieu of Proposal 4, then each director nominee who receives at least a majority of the common stock outstanding will be elected as directors for the ensuing one year. Any shares that are not voted (whether by abstention or broker non-vote) will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Proposal 4: Election of Seven Directors if Proposal 1 is Not Approved

The election of directors requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock. If Proposal 1 is not approved and Proposal 4 is voted upon at the Annual Meeting in lieu of Proposal 3, then the each director nominee who receives at least a majority of the common stock outstanding will be elected as directors for the ensuing three years. Any shares that are not voted (whether by abstention or broker non-vote) will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Proposal 5: Amendment of the BancFirst Corporation Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the plan by 200,000 shares

This proposal requires approval by the holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock. Any shares that are not voted (whether by abstention or broker non-vote) will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Can I change or revoke my vote after I return my proxy card or voting instruction card?

Yes. Even if you sign the proxy card or voting instruction card in the form accompanying this proxy statement, you retain the power to revoke your proxy or change your vote. You can revoke your proxy or change your vote

at any time before it is exercised by giving written notice specifying such revocation to the Secretary of the Company. You may change your vote by timely delivery of a valid, later-dated proxy or by voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting. However, please note that if you would like to vote at the Annual Meeting and you are not the shareholder of record, you must request, complete and deliver a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card?

It generally means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for all proxy and voting instruction cards you receive.

Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

All shareholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend.

The Annual Meeting will be held at the Second Floor Conference Room, 101 N. Broadway (the corner of Main Street and Broadway), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102.

Who pays for the proxy solicitation and how will the Company solicit votes?

We will bear the expense of printing and mailing proxy materials. In addition to this solicitation of proxies by mail, our directors, officers and other employees may solicit proxies by personal interview, telephone, facsimile or email. They will not be paid any additional compensation for such solicitation. We will request brokers, banks and nominees who hold shares of our common stock in their names to furnish proxy materials to beneficial owners of the shares. We will reimburse such brokers, banks and nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.

How can I access the Company’s proxy materials and annual report electronically?

The proxy statement and our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available on the BancFirst website at http://www.BancFirst.com and the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) at http://www.sec.gov. The Company provides these documents on its website and also provides links to the SEC’s website where these reports can be obtained. The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (other than the exhibits thereto), as well as copies of other filings or exhibits to filings made with the SEC, is also available without charge upon written request. Such requests should be directed to: Randy Foraker, Executive Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, BancFirst Corporation, 101 North Broadway, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102. The public may read and copy any materials that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.

Is a list of shareholders available?

The names of shareholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available to shareholders entitled to vote at this meeting for ten days prior to the meeting for any purpose relevant to the meeting. This list can be viewed between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., local time, at our principal executive offices at 101 N. Broadway, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Please contact Randy Foraker, Executive Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, BancFirst Corporation, 101 North Broadway, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, to make arrangements.

How do I find out the voting results?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting, and final voting results will be published within four business days of the annual meeting on Form 8-K, which we will file with the SEC. After the

Form 8-K is filed, you may obtain a copy by visiting our website, which provides links to the SEC’s website. You may also obtain a copy by visiting the SEC’s website directly or by contacting Randy Foraker, Executive Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer, by calling (405) 270-1044, by writing to Mr. Foraker c/o BancFirst Corporation, 101 N. Broadway, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, or by sending an email to him at rforaker@bancfirst.com.

What if I have questions about lost stock certificates or I need to change my mailing address?

Shareholders of record may contact our transfer agent, BancFirst Trust and Investment Management, by calling (405) 270-4797 or writing to BancFirst Trust and Investment Management, P.O. Box 26883, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73126, to get more information about these matters.

HOW DO I VOTE?

Your vote is important. You may vote by mail or attend the Annual Meeting and vote by ballot, all as described below.

Vote by Mail

If you choose to vote by mail, simply mark your proxy card or voting instruction card, sign and date it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Voting at the Annual Meeting

The method or timing of your vote will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you attend the meeting and vote in person. However, if your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting. You should allow yourself enough time prior to the Annual Meeting to obtain this proxy from the holder of record.

The shares represented by the proxy cards or voting instruction cards received, properly marked, signed, dated and not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting. If you sign and return your proxy card but do not give voting instructions, the shares represented by that proxy card will be voted as recommended by the Board. If you fail to return your proxy card, or if your shares are held in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker how to vote your shares by failing to complete the voting instruction card, the effect will be as though you cast a vote “against” Proposals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON

PROPOSAL 1

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

TO DECLASSIFY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, directors are separated into three classes, serving staggered terms. Each year, the shareholders are asked to elect the directors comprising one of the classes for a three-year term. Currently, the term for six directors is set to expire in 2013 at this year’s Annual Meeting. The term of six other directors is set to expire in 2014 and the term of the other six directors is set to expire in 2015. Because of the classified board structure, shareholders can currently elect only one class of the directors (or approximately one-third of the directors) each year.

The Board has adopted resolutions setting forth proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation (the “Declassification Amendments”) to eliminate the classified board structure and to permit removal of directors by

shareholders with or without cause. The vote necessary to effect any such removal will remain the same as is currently required for removal with cause—the affirmative vote of not less than 66²/₃% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Board has declared the Declassification Amendments advisable, and unanimously resolved to submit the Declassification Amendments to the Company’s shareholders for consideration. The text of the Declassification Amendments is set forth in Appendix A.

If the shareholders approve this proposal, the terms of all directors will expire at the annual meeting of shareholders each year and their successors will be elected for one-year terms that will expire at the next annual meeting. Our Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to provide for the annual election of all directors commencing immediately at the Annual Meeting (see Proposal 3 to elect 19 nominees), and to permit removal of directors by shareholders with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of not less than 66²/₃% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Background on Classified Boards

Since the Company adopted various anti-takeover provisions 14 years ago, such provisions have become increasingly unpopular with shareholder rights activists. The Company believes it is no longer desirable to continue to have a classified board. Accordingly, the Board recommends that shareholders have the opportunity to vote on all directors each year and believes that elimination of the classified board structure will be an effective way to maintain and enhance the accountability of the Board. In making this determination, the Board has considered that declassifying the Board will have the effect of reducing the time required for a majority shareholder or group of shareholders to replace a majority of the Board in any single year. Proponents of classified boards believe that they provide continuity and stability to the board, facilitate a long-term outlook by the board and enhance the independence of non-employee directors. On the other hand, there is the view that classified boards reduce accountability of directors because they limit the ability of shareholders to evaluate and elect all directors on an annual basis. Classified boards make it more likely that any attempt to acquire control of a company takes place through orderly negotiations with the board of directors because they make it more difficult for shareholders to change the majority of the directors as only approximately one-third of the directors will stand for election in any given year. As a result, if this proposal is adopted, the possibility of a less orderly and negotiated change of control of the Company could increase and any anti-takeover protection afforded by a classified board will be eliminated.

With a classified board of directors, a majority of the board of directors may be replaced only after two years. In addition, under Oklahoma law, directors of a classified board of directors may be removed by the shareholders only for cause. This limitation on removal of directors only for cause would no longer apply if Proposal No. 1 is approved . However, the vote necessary to effect removal, whether with or without cause, will remain the same as is currently required for removal with cause—the affirmative vote of not less than 66²/₃% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

Effect of Voting Outcomes

If the shareholders approve the Declassification Amendments, then each of the Company’s directors not otherwise up for re-election at the Annual Meeting has agreed to shorten his or her existing term so that it concludes at the time of effectiveness of the Declassification Amendments. In that regard, the shareholders will be asked to vote for the election of all 19 director nominees at the Annual Meeting, each for a one-year term that will expire at next year’s annual meeting and until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified, pursuant to Proposal No. 3, below.

If the shareholders do not approve the Declassification Amendments, the Board of Directors will remain classified, and the shareholders will be asked, pursuant to Proposal No. 4 below, to vote for the election of seven Class III directors to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified.

If the shareholders approve this proposal, the Declassification Amendments will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of the State of Oklahoma. The Company plans to file the Certificate of Amendment promptly after the requisite vote is obtained.

Approval of the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the classification of the Board of Directors requires the affirmative vote of at least 66²/₃% of the common stock issued and outstanding as of the record date.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 1 TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO DECLASSIFY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

PROPOSAL 2

AMENDMENT OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO REMOVE

THE SUPERMAJORITY VOTE REQUIRED TO AMEND SECTION A OF ARTICLE 7 OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

We are asking you to adopt and approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to remove the supermajority vote required to amend the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation that deal with the number, terms and classes of directors. Our Board believes that removal of this language is advisable and in the best interests of our shareholders as it will cause the shareholders to have greater control over certain provisions governing the Company. Our Board has unanimously approved the proposed amendment, and recommends that our shareholders adopt and approve the proposed amendment.

Description of Supermajority Vote Requirement

Our Certificate of Incorporation currently requires the affirmative vote of at least 66²/₃% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company to amend Section A of Article 7, the provisions of which deal with the number, classes and terms of directors.

Rationale for Removal of Supermajority Vote Standard

Consistent with the Board’s recommendation to declassify the Board, our Board believes that removing the supermajority vote required to amend the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation that deal with the number, terms and classes of directors will enhance the accountability of the Board to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors believes that a majority of our shareholders should have the right to modify those provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation that deal with the composition, terms and classes of directors. If Proposal 2 is approved by our shareholders, the default shareholder approval provisions contained in our bylaws will apply to Section A of Article 7, with the result that any subsequent amendment of such section will require the approval of only a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock, as opposed to a supermajority vote as is currently required for any such amendment.

Proposed Amendment to Our Certificate of Incorporation

If Proposal 2 is approved by our shareholders, then Article 10 of our Certificate of Incorporation would be amended to delete the supermajority voting requirement that currently is required to amend Section A of Article 7. The text of the revised Article 10, marked to show the proposed deletion, is attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. If Proposal 2 is approved by our shareholders, then we will file a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma that amends our Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the proposed deletion set forth on Appendix B. If Proposal 1 is also approved by our shareholders, then the Certificate of Amendment we file with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma will also reflect the amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation as indicated in such proposal. See “— Proposal 1: Amendment of Our Certificate of Incorporation to Declassify Our Board of Directors.” The Certificate of Amendment will become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Oklahoma.

Shareholders are requested in Proposal 2 to approve the proposed amendment of our Certificate of Incorporation to remove the supermajority vote required to amend Section A of Article 7. Approval of Proposal 2 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66²/₃% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. Any shares that are not voted (whether by abstention or otherwise) will have the effect of a vote against Proposal 2.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2 TO AMEND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO REMOVE THE SUPERMAJORITY VOTE

REQUIRED TO AMEND SECTION A OF ARTICLE 7 OF

OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

PROPOSAL 3

ELECTION OF 19 DIRECTORS IF PROPOSAL 1 IS APPROVED

(PROPOSAL 3 WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED IF OUR SHAREHOLDERS

DO NOT APPROVE PROPOSAL 1)

Our Board currently consists of 18 members and is divided into three classes of directors, with six directors in Class I, six directors in Class II and six directors in Class III. Directors serve for three-year terms with one class of directors being elected by the Company’s shareholders at each annual meeting to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring. However, if Proposal 1 is approved, we will elect each director to serve a one-year term at each annual meeting of the shareholders. At the recommendation of the Independent Directors’ Committee, the Board has nominated the 19 director nominees identified in this Proposal 3 to serve a one-year term, until the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. For additional information about the director nominees and their qualifications, see “Corporate Governance Principles and Board Matters—Directors of BancFirst Corporation.” All of the nominees are current directors of the Company, with the exception of Dave R. Lopez and Michael S. Samis. If Proposal 1 is approved, the nominees for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

PROPOSAL 5

AMENDMENT TO THE BANCFIRST CORPORATION STOCK OPTION PLAN

Subject to shareholder approval, the Board has amended the BancFirst Corporation Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Plan”) to increase the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock which may be issued upon the exercise of options (“Plan Options”) granted under the Employee Plan by 200,000 shares.

The Board believes that the approval of the amendment to the Employee Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, as the availability of an adequate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Employee Plan and the ability to grant stock options is an important factor in attracting, motivating and retaining qualified personnel essential to the success of the Company. As of April 8, 2013, approximately 15,860 shares of common stock were available for future option grants under the Employee Plan.

Summary of the Provisions of the Employee Plan

The essential features of the Employee Plan are summarized below. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all the provisions of the Employee Plan. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Employee Plan (as proposed to be amended), which has been filed as Appendix C to the copy of this Proxy Statement that was filed electronically with the SEC and can be reviewed on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. A copy of the plan document may also be obtained without charge by writing to Randy Foraker, Executive Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer at BancFirst Corporation, 101 N. Broadway, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102.

The Employee Plan, which is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options. The Employee Plan is administered by the Board of the Company, certain members of which includes principal shareholders and employees of the Company or its affiliates, and may also include participants in the Employee Plan. Pursuant to the Employee Plan, the Board may delegate administration of the plan to a committee of the Board consisting of three or more members, at least a majority of which must be “Non-Employee Directors” as such term is used in Rule 16b-3.

The maximum number of shares of common stock that which may be issued upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the Employee Plan is proposed to be increased by 200,000 shares (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, or like changes in the capital structure of the Company). All Plan Options must be granted, if at all, no later than December 31, 2014.

Options may be granted only to employees (including officers) of the Company or its subsidiaries. All Plan Options must have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. As defined in the Employee Plan, “fair market value” is stated to be equal to the closing price of the common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) on the date of grant or, if no closing price is so reported, the closing price of the common stock as reported by NASDAQ on the most recent date next preceding the date of grant. As of April 8, 2013, the closing price of the common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ, was $41.04 per share.

The exercise price is payable on exercise of the Plan Option and is payable in cash, certified check, bank draft or money order, unless otherwise determined by the Board. Unless otherwise determined by the Board at the time of granting an option, Plan Options vest 25% per year commencing on the fourth year after grant, until the Plan Option is 100% vested. Except for termination of employment as a result of retirement or death, if an optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company for any reason, other than as a result of embezzlement, theft or other violation of law, the optionee may exercise his or her option (to the extent exercisable at the time of termination) at any time within 30 days after termination. If an optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company due to retirement, the optionee may exercise the option (to the extent exercisable at the time of termination) at any time within three months after such retirement. If an optionee ceases to be an employee of the Company due to death, the optionee’s estate, personal representative, or beneficiary shall have the right to exercise the option (to the extent exercisable at the time of death) at any time within 12 months from the date of the optionee’s death.

During the lifetime of the optionee, an option may be exercised only by the optionee. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, no option may be assignable except (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, (iii) for the purpose of making a charitable gift, or (iv) to a revocable trust of which the optionee is a trustee.

Except as described above, Plan Options may not have a term in excess of 15 years.

The Board may terminate or amend the Employee Plan at any time; provided, however, that without the approval of the shareholders of the Company, the Board may not amend the Employee Plan to materially increase the total number of shares of common stock covered thereby, materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Employee Plan, or materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Employee Plan.

Summary of Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Employee Plan

The federal tax consequences of stock options are complex and subject to change. Furthermore, the following summary is intended only as a general guide to the United States federal income tax consequences of options granted under the Employee Plan under current law, and does not attempt to describe all potential tax consequences.

Non-qualified stock options have no special tax status. An optionee generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of such an option. Upon exercise of the option, the optionee normally recognizes ordinary income with respect to the acquired shares in the amount of the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. Such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of stock acquired by the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of recognition of income, will be taxed as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending upon the length of time the optionee has held the stock from the date of recognition of income. No tax deduction is available to the Company with respect to the grant of the option or the sale of stock acquired pursuant to such grant. Provided certain withholding requirements are met, the Company should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee as a result of the exercise of the option.

Specific Benefits Under the Employee Plan

The Company has not approved any awards that are conditioned upon shareholder approval of the proposed amendment of the Employee Plan. The number, amount and type of awards to be received by or allocated to eligible persons in the future under the Employee Plan cannot be determined at this time. If the share increase reflected in this amendment proposal had been in effect in fiscal 2012, the Company expects that its award grants for fiscal 2012 would not have been substantially different from those actually made in that year under the Employee Plan.

For information regarding stock-based awards granted to the Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2012, see the material under the heading “Executive Compensation” further down in this document. For information regarding past award grants under the Employee Plan, see the “Aggregate Past Grants under the Employee Plan” table below.

Aggregate Past Grants Under the Employee Plan

As of April 8, 2013, awards covering 3,353,756 shares (before cancellations of awards covering 569,616 shares) of the Company’s common stock had been granted under the Employee Plan. The following table shows information regarding the distribution of those awards among the persons and groups identified below, as well as shares subject to unexercised options outstanding as of that date.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Grant Thornton LLP (“Grant Thornton”) was the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2012 and has been approved by the Audit Committee as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the first quarter of 2013. The selection of independent registered public accountants for the remainder of 2013 is still under review. Representatives of Grant Thornton are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement or to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders. Grant Thornton has advised the Company that they are independent with respect to the Company.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit services and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also considers whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence and considers whether our independent registered public accounting firm is positioned to provide us with effective and efficient audit services needed to properly manage risk or improve audit quality. In its review of any non-audit service fees, the Audit Committee considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the auditor’s independence. No non-audit services were performed by Grant Thornton during 2012 or 2011. The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of audit fees and audit-related fees during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The following table shows the fees incurred by the Company for the audit provided by Grant Thornton during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Audit fees for professional services rendered by Grant Thornton include fees related to the audits of the Company and of certain of our subsidiaries, other attestation services, internal control audits, and assistance with interpretation of accounting standards.

Additional information concerning the Audit Committee and its activities with Grant Thornton can be found in the following sections of this proxy statement: “Corporate Governance Principles and Board Matters—Audit Committee” and “Audit Committee Report.”

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS

The Company is committed to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and corporate governance, which we believe are essential to running our business efficiently, serving our shareholders well and maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. We regularly monitor developments in the area of corporate governance and review our processes and procedures in light of such developments. In those efforts, we review federal laws affecting corporate governance, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules adopted by the SEC and NASDAQ. We believe that we have in place procedures and practices, including the following, which are designed to enhance our shareholders’ interests.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and senior financial officers, including our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, the purpose of which is to promote honest and ethical conduct and compliance with the law, particularly as related to the maintenance of the Company’s financial books and records and the preparation of its financial statements. We have also adopted a Corporate Code of Conduct that sets forth the guiding principles and rules of behavior by which we operate our company and conduct our daily business with our customers, vendors and shareholders and with our fellow employees. The Code of Conduct applies to all directors and employees of the Company. Copies of the Code of Ethics and the Corporate Code of Conduct may be requested from the Secretary at the address on the cover of this proxy statement.

Director Independence

The NASDAQ’s listing standards require our Board to be comprised of at least a majority of independent directors. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. Based on the independence standards prescribed by NASDAQ, our Board has affirmatively determined that each of the following directors is independent: C. L. Craig, Jr., F. Ford Drummond, Dr. Donald B. Halverstadt, J. Ralph McCalmont, Tom H. McCasland III, Ronald J. Norick, Paul B. Odom, Jr., David E. Ragland, Cynthia S. Ross, Michael K. Wallace and G. Rainey Williams, Jr. In addition, as prescribed by the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, these independent directors have at least one scheduled meeting without management present. See “Corporate Governance Principles and Board Matters—Independent Directors’ Committee.”

In determining independence, the Board reviews whether directors have any material relationship with the Company. The Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. In assessing the materiality of a director’s relationship to the Company, the Board considers the issues from the director’s standpoint and from the perspective of the persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation and is guided by the standards set forth below. The Board reviews commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships. An independent director must not have any material relationship with the Company, directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company, or any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

A director will not be considered independent in the following circumstances:

(1)	The director is, or has been in the past three years, an employee of the Company, or an immediate family member of the director is, or has been in the past three years, an executive officer of the Company.

(2)

The director has received, or has an immediate family member who has received during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from the Company, other than compensation for Board service, compensation received by the director’s immediate family member for service as a non-executive employee of the Company, and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service with the Company that is not contingent on continued service.

(3)

(A) The director or an immediate family member is a current partner of the firm that is the Company’s external auditor; (B) the director is a current employee of such a firm; (C) the director has an immediate family member who is a current employee of such a firm and who participates in the firm’s audit, assurance or tax compliance (but not tax planning) practice; or (D) the director or an immediate family member is or was within the last three years (but is no longer) a partner or employee of such a firm and personally worked on the Company’s audit within that time.

(4)	The director or an immediate family member is, or has been in the past three years, employed as an executive officer of another company where any of the Company’s present executive officers at the same time serves or has served on that company’s compensation committee.

(5)

The director is, or has an immediate family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed the greater of 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000.

For these purposes, an “immediate family member” includes a director’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mother-and father-in-law, sons-and daughters-in-law, brothers-and sisters-in-law, and anyone who shares the director’s home.

Director Nominees

Shareholder Recommendations

The policy of the Independent Directors’ Committee is to consider properly submitted shareholder recommendations of candidates for membership on the Board as described below under “Identifying and Evaluating Candidates for Directors.” In evaluating such recommendations, the Independent Directors’ Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board and to address the membership criteria set forth below under “Director Qualifications.” Any shareholder recommendations proposed for consideration by the Independent Directors’ Committee should include the candidate’s name and qualifications for Board membership and should be addressed to the Secretary pursuant to the procedure described under the heading “Proposals for the 2014 Meeting of Shareholders.”

Director Qualifications

The Independent Directors’ Committee has no specified Board membership criteria that apply to nominees recommended for a position on the Company’s Board. However, members of the Board should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values, consistent with the Company’s longstanding values and standards. They should also have broad experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education, technology or public service. In addition, directors should represent a diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds, experiences and other demographics. They should be committed to enhancing shareholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. The Independent Directors’ Committee believes that directors’ service on other boards of public companies should be limited to a number that permits them, given their individual circumstances, to perform responsibly all director duties.

Identifying and Evaluating Candidates for Directors

The Independent Directors’ Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. In the event that vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Independent Directors’ Committee considers various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Independent Directors’ Committee through current Board members, shareholders or other persons. Identified candidates are evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Independent Directors’ Committee and may be considered at any point during the year. As described above, the Independent Directors’ Committee will consider properly submitted shareholder recommendations for candidates for the Board to be included in the Company’s proxy statement. In evaluating nominations, the Independent Directors’ Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on the Board.

Board Structure and Committee Composition

As of the date of this proxy statement, our Board has 18 directors and the following four standing committees: (1) Executive Committee, (2) Audit Committee, (3) Compensation Committee, and (4) Independent Directors’ Committee. BancFirst, our principal operating subsidiary (“BancFirst” or the “Bank”), has a standing Administrative Committee comprised principally of executive officers. The committee membership and meetings during the last fiscal year and the function of each of the standing committees are described below. During fiscal 2012, the Board held 12 meetings. Each current director with the exception of G. Rainey Williams, Jr. attended at least 75% of all Board and applicable standing committee meetings. Directors are encouraged to attend annual meetings of the Company’s shareholders. All then-current directors with the exception of K. Gordon Greer, Cynthia S. Ross and G.

(1)	Mr. Cole is a nonvoting advisory director of the full Board, but is a voting member of the Audit Committee.

(2)	Mr. Harlow is a management member and not a director of the Bank or the Company.

(3)	Mr. Schmidt is a director of the Bank.

The Company’s senior leadership is shared between two executive positions—the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman of the Board to lead our Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management. We believe that the separated role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides an appropriate balance between leadership and independent oversight.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

The Board is charged with general oversight of the management of the Company’s risks. The Board considers, as appropriate, risks among other factors in reviewing the Company’s strategy, business plan, budgets and major transactions. Each of the Board’s committees assists the Board in overseeing the management of the Company’s risks within the areas delegated to the committee. In particular, the Executive Committee assists the Board by reviewing reports from management on at least an annual basis on the risks facing the Company, management’s actions to address those risks and the Company’s risk management processes. Following its reviews of the

reports, the Executive Committee reports the results of its reviews to the full Board. The Audit Committee assists the board with oversight of operational and compliance risk by reviewing internal audit reports from the Company’s Chief Internal Auditor. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to the Company’s compensation programs and policies and meets at least annually with the Chief Executive Officer to discuss such risks. The Senior Loan Committee is responsible for the oversight of credit risk, in which they report monthly to the board. The Administrative Committee assists the Board and executive management with the oversight of risks other than credit risk.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee has the authority to exercise all the powers of the full Board during the intervals between Board meetings, except the power to amend the Bylaws and those powers specifically delegated to other committees of the Board. Members of the Executive Committee in 2012 were Dennis L. Brand, James R. Daniel, K. Gordon Greer (Chairman), David R. Harlow, David E. Rainbolt, H. E. Rainbolt and Darryl Schmidt.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee of the Company also serves as the Audit Committee of the Bank. The Audit Committee is responsible for conducting an annual examination of the Company and for ensuring that adequate internal controls and procedures are maintained. An independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to conduct the annual examination and the Audit Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm to discuss the scope and results of the examination. In addition, the Bank’s Chief Internal Auditor reports to the Audit Committee.

The Board determined that each of J. Ralph McCalmont, Chair of the Audit Committee, and Audit Committee members Jimmie L. Cole, F. Ford Drummond and Michael K. Wallace, is independent pursuant to applicable NASDAQ and Exchange Act rules. The Board also determined that Mr. Cole is an audit committee financial expert as defined by applicable SEC rules. The Audit Committee has a written Audit Committee Charter, which was included as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held May 26, 2011. A free printed copy also is available to any shareholder who requests it from the Secretary at the address on the cover of this Proxy Statement. The report of the Audit Committee is included herein under the heading “Audit Committee Report”.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of the Company determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, and reviews and approves the compensation of the other executive officers of the Company.

Rainey Williams, Jr., each of whom has been determined by the Board to be independent directors under applicable NASDAQ and SEC standards. The report of the Compensation Committee is included herein under the heading “Compensation Committee Report”. The Compensation Committee has a written charter, which was included as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held May 24, 2012.

Independent Directors’ Committee

The Independent Directors’ Committee meets at least annually in executive session to discuss significant matters and review the actions of management of the Company, and also serves as the Board’s nominating committee. The Independent Directors’ Committee consists of those directors who meet the applicable independence requirements, which during 2012 were C. L. Craig, Jr., F. Ford Drummond, Dr. Donald B. Halverstadt, J. Ralph McCalmont, Tom H. McCasland III, Ronald J. Norick, Paul B. Odom, Jr., David E. Ragland,

Cynthia S. Ross, Michael K. Wallace and G. Rainey Williams, Jr. The Independent Directors’ Committee has a written charter, which was included as Appendix B to the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held May 24, 2012. A free printed copy is available to any shareholder who requests it from the Secretary at the address on the cover of this Proxy Statement.

Executive sessions of independent directors are held at least once a year. The sessions are scheduled and chaired by the lead independent director, who in 2012 was C.L. Craig, Jr. Any independent director may request that an additional executive session be scheduled.

Senior Loan Committee of the Bank

The Senior Loan Committee of the Bank is a management committee that assists the Board and executive management with the administration of corporate credit policies and procedures, and evaluates loans within its designated policy guidelines. At December 31, 2012 the members of the Senior Loan Committee were Dennis L. Brand, Roy C. Ferguson, K. Gordon Greer, Robert A. Gregory, James R. Daniel, David R. Harlow, David E. Rainbolt, H.E. Rainbolt and Darryl Schmidt (Chair). The Senior Loan Committee generally met weekly during 2012.

Administrative Committee of the Bank

The Administrative Committee of the Bank is a management committee that assists the Board and executive management with administration of corporate policies and procedures (excluding credit, investment and asset/liability management), and with other matters concerning the management of the Bank’s business. At December 31, 2012, the members of the Administrative Committee were Dennis L. Brand, Scott Copeland, James R. Daniel, Paul D. Fleming, Randy Foraker, D. Jay Hannah, Robert M. Neville, Dale E. Petersen, David E. Rainbolt (Chair), J. Michael Rogers, Darryl Schmidt and David Westman. The Administrative Committee met 12 times during 2012.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

As previously stated, the Compensation Committee of the Company determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and reviews and approves the compensation of the other executive officers of the Company. In connection with these duties, the Compensation Committee meets at least annually with the Chief Executive Officer to discuss, review and evaluate the relationship between our risk management policies and practices and executive compensation arrangements. This meeting includes a review of the structure and components of our compensation arrangements, the material potential sources of risk in our business lines and compensation arrangements; and our various policies and practices that mitigate these risks. Within this framework, a variety of topics are discussed, including the parameters of acceptable and excessive risk taking (recognizing that some risk taking is an inherent part of operating any business) and the general business goals and concerns of the Company, including the need to attract, retain and motivate qualified executives and other personnel.

The Compensation Committee believes that our overall compensation practices for our executive officers, which include the following elements, limit the ability of executive officers to benefit from taking unnecessary or excessive risks:

•

executive compensation that is heavily weighted toward fixed salaries;

•

maximum payouts that limit the overall payout potential of cash incentive compensation;

•

a strong alignment of risk management goals and incentive pay;

•

balance between short-term and long-term incentive compensation opportunities; and

•

the Company’s historical emphasis on character and integrity at all levels of the organization, particularly at the senior executive level.

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Executive Compensation”. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Messrs. Craig, Halverstadt, and Williams currently serve on the Compensation Committee. None of these individuals is or has been an officer or associate of the Company, or had any relationship with the Company required to be disclosed under “Transactions with Related Persons.” No executive officer of the Company is, or was during 2012, a member of the board of directors or compensation committee (or other committee serving an equivalent function) of another company that has, or had during 2012 an executive officer serving as a member of our Board or Compensation Committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The following report is for the Audit Committee’s activities regarding oversight of the Company’s financial reporting and auditing process for fiscal year 2012.

During 2012, the Audit Committee was comprised of J. Ralph McCalmont (Chair), Jimmie L. Cole, F. Ford Drummond and Michael K. Wallace, all of whom are “independent directors” as defined in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Global Market. Mr. Cole has been designated as an audit committee financial expert by the Board. Mr. Cole is a nonvoting advisory director of the full Board, but is a voting member of the Audit Committee. The Board has adopted an Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which was included as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held May 26, 2011. The composition of the Audit Committee, the attributes of its members and the responsibilities of the Committee, as reflected in its charter, are intended to be in accordance with applicable requirements for corporate audit committees.

As described more fully in its charter, the purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting, internal control and audit functions. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws and regulations. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee is not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent registered public accounting firm, nor can the Audit Committee certify that the independent registered public accounting firm is “independent” under applicable rules. The Audit Committee serves a board-level oversight role, in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to management and the independent registered public accounting firm on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and the auditor, and the experience of the Committee’s members in business, financial and accounting matters.

Among other matters, the Audit Committee monitors the activities and performance of the Company’s internal and external auditors, including the audit scope, external audit fees, auditor independence matters and the extent to which the independent registered public accounting firm may be retained to perform non-audit services. The Audit Committee and the Board have ultimate authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also reviews the results of the internal and external audit work with regard to the adequacy and appropriateness of the Company’s financial, accounting and internal controls. Management’s and the independent registered public accounting firm’s presentations to, and discussions with, the Audit Committee also cover various topics and events that may have significant financial impact or are the subject of discussions between management and the independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, the Audit Committee generally oversees the Company’s internal compliance programs.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management represented to the Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the independent registered public accounting firm represented that its presentations to the Audit Committee included the matters required to be discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114, “The Auditor’s Communication with those charged with Governance.”

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm that firm’s independence.

Following the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

BancFirst has made loans in the ordinary course of business to certain directors and executive officers of the Company and to certain affiliates of these directors and executive officers. None of these loans outstanding are classified as nonaccrual, past due, restructured or potential problem loans. All such loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans made to persons not related to the Company, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

We have adopted written policies to implement the requirements of Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board, which restricts the extension of credit to directors and executive officers and their family members and other related interests. Under these policies, extensions of credit that exceed regulatory thresholds must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Bank. All other transactions involving the Company in which a director or executive officer or immediate family member may have a direct or indirect material interest are required to be approved by the Audit Committee.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the compensation for the named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table and for the Company’s executive officers generally. SEC regulations require us to include our chief executive officer, David E. Rainbolt, our former chief financial officer, Joe T. Shockley, Jr., and our current interim chief financial officer, Randy Foraker, as named executive officers. In addition, these regulations require us to include the three most highly compensated executive officers in 2012. In addition to Messrs. Rainbolt, Shockley and Foraker, our named executive officers are Dennis L. Brand, Darryl Schmidt and David R. Harlow.

Objectives of our Compensation Program

Overview

Our primary mission is to create long-term value for our shareholders consistent with our commitment to maintain the safety and soundness of the Bank. To accomplish this, we believe that BancFirst Corporation must provide competitive salaries and appropriate incentives to achieve long-term shareholder return. The Company’s executive compensation practices are designed to achieve four primary objectives:

•

attract and retain qualified executives who will lead the Company and inspire superior performance;

•

provide incentives for achievement of corporate goals and individual performance;

•

provide incentives for achievement of long-term shareholder return; and

•

align the interests of management and employees with those of the shareholders to encourage continuing increases in shareholder value.

Our goal is to effectively balance base salaries with short-term incentive compensation that is performance-based, and long-term compensation awards that are commensurate with an officer’s individual management responsibilities and potential for future contribution to corporate objectives. The portion of total compensation that is based on corporate performance and long-term shareholder return increases as an executive’s responsibilities increase.

The Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving the Company’s overall compensation and benefit programs in consultation with David E. Rainbolt, the Company’s chief executive officer, or CEO, and for determining the compensation of the CEO. In addition, the Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all option grants to executive officers. The CEO makes recommendations to the committee concerning his own compensation, but the CEO does not participate in the deliberations or decisions of the Compensation Committee concerning his compensation. The CEO determines the compensation, including salary, performance-based incentive pay and other awards, for other executive officers, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee. While the Compensation Committee recommends the salary for the CEO, Mr. Rainbolt has in the past declined to accept certain raises. However, in no case has his compensation exceeded the recommendation of the Committee. The Compensation Committee currently consists of three directors, C.L. Craig (Chairman), Dr. Donald B. Halverstadt and G. Rainey Williams, Jr., all of whom are independent under applicable NASDAQ and SEC standards.

When determining our executive compensation policies, reviewing the performance of our named executive officers and establishing compensation levels and programs, our Compensation Committee relies on various factors, including an executive’s individual performance and contributions to our strategic objectives,

recommendations from the CEO (for named executive officers other than himself), internal pay equity and the results of our 2011 “say-on-pay” vote, in which the advisory vote on our executive compensation program was approved with over 99% of the votes cast in favor of the resolution. The Compensation Committee also considers the performance of the management team as a group, the CEO’s assessment of other executives’ individual performance and the CEO’s compensation recommendations with respect to the other executive officers as part of its process. The Compensation Committee considered all of these factors, including the 2011 “say-on-pay” vote result, as it evaluated whether any changes to our executive compensation program were warranted and it determined that no changes were warranted at that time.

Executive Participation in Committee Discussions

The executive officers who participate in the Compensation Committee’s compensation-setting process are the CEO and the Executive Vice President for Human Resources. Executive participation is meant to provide the Compensation Committee with input regarding the Company’s compensation philosophy, process and decisions. In addition to providing factual information such as company-wide performance on relevant measures, these executives articulate management’s views on current compensation programs and processes, recommend relevant performance measures to be used for future awards, and otherwise supply information to assist the Compensation Committee. The CEO also provides information about individual performance assessments for the other named executive officers, and expresses to the Compensation Committee his view on the appropriate levels of compensation for the other named executive officers for the ensuing year. Additionally, the CEO discusses and reviews the alignment between the Company’s risk management policies and practices and all of the Company’s employee incentive compensation arrangements, identifying and making efforts to limit any features in such compensation arrangements that might lead to employees taking unnecessary or excessive risks that could threaten the value of the Company.

These two executives participate in committee discussions purely in an informational and advisory capacity, but have no vote in the committee’s decision-making process. The CEO does not attend those portions of Compensation Committee meetings during which his performance is evaluated or his compensation is being determined. No executive officer other than the CEO and Executive Vice President for Human Resources attends those portions of Compensation Committee meetings during which the performance of the other named executive officers is evaluated or their compensation is being determined.

Executive Compensation Program

The Company’s compensation structure primarily consists of the following components:

•

base salary;

•

performance-based incentive pay;

•

long-term award(s)—including stock option grants, supplemental executive retirement agreements and survivor benefit agreements; and

•

benefits available to all employees, including a 401(k) plan and an employee stock ownership plan.

The Company considers market practices to achieve an overall compensation program that aims to provide a total compensation package for our executive officers that is generally competitive with the compensation paid to similarly situated executive and senior officers of comparable-sized financial institutions. The Company reviews the market practices by speaking to recruitment agencies and reviewing the data on financial institutions of similar size, growth potential and market area as reported in publicly available documents, such as proxy statements. Although the committee has not established a specific comparison group of bank holding companies for determination of compensation, those listed in the salary surveys that share one or more common traits with the Company, such as asset size, geographic location, and financial returns on assets and equity, are given more consideration. The Company does not employ formulas to determine the relationship of one element of

compensation to another nor does it determine the amount of one form of compensation based solely on the amount of another form of compensation; however, the Company strives to allocate a significant portion of overall compensation to elements that focus on performance and incentives. The Company does not currently have a policy to recapture performance-based incentive pay or other compensation in the event that the metrics used to determine the compensation are later restated.

Base Salary

One of the objectives of our compensation program is to establish base salaries for executive officers that are competitive to those of comparable companies in our industry and our local market place. We do not seek to pay the highest base salaries in our peer group; however, we believe that base salaries should be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain talented senior management. We consult various sources to identify adequate and competitive base salary levels, including industry surveys, feedback from recruiters and information contained in publicly available documents. The base salary level for our CEO is established annually by the Compensation Committee. In setting Mr. Rainbolt’s base salary for 2012, the Compensation Committee followed this compensation policy. Mr. Rainbolt’s review was based on the factors above, including the current financial performance of the Bank as measured by earnings, asset growth, and overall financial soundness. Base salary for the other executive officers is established by our CEO, subject to review and approval by the Compensation Committee. In setting base salaries, our CEO considers the seniority and level of responsibility of each executive officer, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies as described above. Salaries for executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis as well as at the time of a promotion or other change in level of responsibilities. Increases in base salary are based on the evaluation of factors such as the individual’s level of responsibility, performance and level of compensation. The salaries paid during fiscal year 2012 to the Company’s named executive officers are shown in the Summary Compensation Table.

Annual Performance-Based Incentive Pay

We believe that the payment of performance-based incentive compensation based on business and personal goals is important to focus our executive officers on the achievement of short-term corporate goals. Accordingly, all of our executive officers are eligible to receive an annual cash amount based on our performance-based incentive program. The performance-based incentive program is designed to reward our executive officers for the attainment of short-term business and/or personal performance goals that are established at the beginning of each fiscal year, and can be in amounts ranging from 5% to 26% of the executive officer’s base salary. Performance-based incentive compensation for our CEO is established by the Compensation Committee. Performance-based incentive compensation for our other executive officers is established by our CEO, subject to review and approval by the Compensation Committee and is subject to pre-approved bonus levels between 5% and 26%, based generally upon the seniority of the executive officer. The CEO and the Compensation Committee use judgment and discretion rather than relying solely on formulaic results, and generally take into account the business and economic environment, the Company’s overall performance, budgetary considerations, each executive officer’s performance in relation to the goals set for him, competitive factors within the industry, and retention of key executives.

Annual incentive payments under the plan for a particular year with respect to executive officers who are bank senior management are based on a combination of financial and individual performance criteria established before the beginning of the year. Such performance criteria generally will vary depending on the executive officer’s authority. Thus, for example, for those executive officers having authority or responsibility over the entire company, including the CEO and Dennis L. Brand, the performance criteria includes the attainment, on a company-wide basis, of budgeted earnings as well as budgeted classified assets. For executive officers having line authority over a particular group of branches, such as Darryl Schmidt, David Harlow and the other Regional Executives, the performance criteria includes the attainment, with respect to the particular branches over which the executive officer has responsibility, of certain profitability objectives as well as budgeted classified assets and the results of internal audit reports. For executive officers having responsibility over various corporate

administrative functions, annual incentive payments are based primarily on the attainment of individual performance objectives negotiated with David Rainbolt, the Company’s CEO, or Dennis Brand, the CEO of BancFirst, at the beginning of the year. Attainment of individual performance objectives is based on a subjective evaluation of each individual officer’s performance. An executive officer’s potential cash incentive payment depends upon two factors: (x) the executive’s position with the bank, which establishes a maximum cash incentive award as a percent of base salary and (y) the extent to which the performance criteria, have been achieved, in the determination of the CEO and the Compensation Committee. Whenever the specified performance criteria are not fully met, the CEO and the Compensation Committee determine the amount of incentive compensation paid, if any, based on their subjective evaluation of the extent to which the criteria were met and other factors. The Compensation Committee conducts an evaluation of the CEO’s individual performance and determines the appropriate amount of performance-based incentive pay. For officers other than the CEO, the CEO conducts an evaluation of each executive officer’s individual performance and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee as to the appropriate amount of performance-based incentive pay.

The payment of performance-based incentive compensation generally occurs in December of each year in respect of achievements of the fiscal year then ending. For 2012, each of the named executive officers was eligible for performance-based incentive compensation ranging from 10% to 26% of the respective executive’s base salary. As discussed in detail below, Messrs. Rainbolt and Brand each received performance-based incentive compensation totaling 20% of such person’s base salary, Mr. Schmidt received performance-based incentive compensation totaling 23.07% of his base salary, Mr. Foraker received performance-based incentive compensation totaling 10% of his base salary and Mr. Harlow received performance-based incentive compensation totaling 26% of his base salary.

Mr. Rainbolt

For 2012, Mr. Rainbolt was eligible for a bonus up to 20% of his base salary, based upon the budgeted net income and budgeted classified assets for the Company’s principal bank subsidiary, BancFirst, on a company-wide basis. Each of these factors was equally weighted to constitute up to a 10% bonus, as indicated in the following table:


Objectives for 2012	Maximum Percentage of Base Salary			2012 Goal			Actual 2012 Performance
Net income for BancFirst		10	%	$	45,136,000		$	51,900,000
Classified assets for BancFirst		10	%		(1	)		(1	)

(1)	Federal and state banking regulations prohibit the Company from disclosing information contained in regulatory agency examination reports, such as amounts of classified assets.

In addition to the fact that the net income goal for 2012 was fully attained, the Compensation Committee considered that controllable expenses including provision for loan losses, salaries and employee benefits and other overhead expenses were all well below budgeted amounts. Based on this evaluation, the Compensation Committee subjectively determined to pay Mr. Rainbolt 100% of the maximum bonus for this goal. The goal for classified assets also was fully met, and the Compensation Committee determined to pay Mr. Rainbolt the full bonus for this goal. This resulted in Mr. Rainbolt receiving a total cash incentive bonus for 2012 equal to 20% of his base salary.

Mr. Shockley

Mr. Shockley left the Company in November 2012 and received no bonus.

Mr. Foraker

For 2012, Mr. Foraker was eligible for a bonus of up to 10% of his base salary. The 2012 performance objectives for Mr. Foraker included no specific financial objectives, but instead related to strategic and operational objectives in connection with Mr. Foraker’s role throughout the year as Chief Risk Officer and, subsequent to November 15, 2012, as interim CFO. Mr. Foraker’s performance objectives for 2012 included the following:

•

Insuring the integrity and timeliness of financial and regulatory reporting;

•

Continuing to monitor actual financial performance as compared to budget;

•

Overseeing and monitoring the New Market Tax Credits Program and Oklahoma Tax Credits Program;

•

Evaluating and appropriately managing finance and accounting organizational structure, systems, workflow and staffing requirements;

•

Managing the budgeting and forecasting process; and

•

Overseeing the capital plan for BancFirst and the Company, including monitoring capital levels and recommending appropriate adjustments as needed.

In reviewing Mr. Foraker’s attainment of the above objectives, the CEO made a subjective determination that Mr. Foraker was generally successful in achieving the objectives set for him. Accordingly, the CEO recommended to the Compensation Committee that Mr. Foraker be awarded the full bonus of 10% of his base salary.

Mr. Brand

For 2012, Mr. Brand was eligible for a bonus up to 20% of his base salary, based upon the budgeted net income and budgeted classified assets for the Company’s principal bank subsidiary, BancFirst, on a company-wide basis. Each of these factors was equally weighted to constitute up to a 10% bonus, as indicated in the following table:


Objectives for 2012	Maximum Percentage of Base Salary			2012 Goal			Actual 2012 Performance
Net income for BancFirst		10	%	$	45,136,000		$	51,900,000
Classified assets for BancFirst		10	%		(1	)		(1	)

(1)	Federal and state banking regulations prohibit the Company from disclosing information contained in regulatory agency examination reports, such as amounts of classified assets.

In addition to the fact that the net income goal for 2012 was fully attained, the Compensation Committee considered that controllable expenses including provision for loan losses, salaries and employee benefits and other overhead expenses were all well below budgeted amounts. Based on this evaluation, the CEO subjectively determined to pay Mr. Brand 100% of the maximum bonus for this goal. The goal for classified assets also was fully met, and the CEO recommended to the Compensation Committee that Mr. Brand receive the full bonus for this goal. This resulted in Mr. Brand receiving a total cash incentive bonus for 2012 equal to 20% of his base salary.

Mr. Schmidt

For 2012, Mr. Schmidt was eligible for a bonus of up to 26% of his base salary, based upon the aggregate budgeted pre-tax net income, budgeted classified assets, internal audit results, budgeted referrals for BancFirst Insurance Services, Inc., the Company’s insurance agency subsidiary (“BancFirst Insurance”), and budgeted treasury management revenue, all with respect to the BancFirst branches that Mr. Schmidt supervised; and budgeted net income for the Company’s principal bank subsidiary, BancFirst, on a company-wide basis. These factors were weighted so that the pre-tax net income goal constituted up to a 6.85% bonus, the classified assets goal constituted up to a 6.85% bonus, the branch audit results constituted up to a 2.3% bonus, achievement of budgeted insurance referrals with respect to BancFirst Insurance constituted up to a 2.5% bonus, achievement of budged treasury

management revenue constituted up to a 2.5% bonus, and the budgeted net income goal for the Company’s principal bank subsidiary, BancFirst, constituted up to a 5% bonus, as indicated in the following table:


Objectives for 2012	Maximum Percentage of Base Salary			2012 Goal			Actual 2012 Performance
Pre-tax net income for BancFirst branches supervised		6.85	%	$	58,081,000		$	60,730,000
Classified assets for BancFirst branches supervised		6.85	%		(1	)		(1	)
Satisfactory branch internal audits for BancFirst branches supervised		2.30	%		(2	)		(2	)
BancFirst Insurance—budgeted referrals (3)		2.50	%	$	250,000		$	206,000
Treasury Management Revenue (3)		2.50	%	$	2,127,000		$	2,153,000
Net income for BancFirst		5.00	%	$	45,136,000		$	51,900,000

(1)	Federal and state banking regulations prohibit the Company from disclosing information contained in regulatory agency examination reports, such as amounts of classified assets.

(2)	The objective for the branch internal audits was determined subjectively based on the results of the internal audits for the previous year of the branches that Mr. Schmidt supervises.

(3)	Revenue targets were determined for individual markets to establish the aggregate 2012 goals indicated. However, despite the aggregate budgeted goal indicated, in no case was the budgeted performance for an individual market awarded more than 100% of the maximum bonus.

Based on Mr. Schmidt fully meeting his pre-tax net income goal for 2012, the CEO determined to pay him 100% of the maximum bonus for this goal. The CEO determined that the goal for maintenance of asset quality also was fully met, and determined and recommended that Mr. Schmidt be paid 100% of the maximum bonus for this goal. The CEO determined that the goal for satisfactory internal branch audits was not fully met, and determined and recommended that Mr. Schmidt be paid approximately 55.65% of the maximum bonus for this goal. The CEO determined that the goal for net income for BancFirst was fully met, and determined and recommended that Mr. Schmidt be paid 100% of the maximum bonus for this goal. However, the CEO determined that the goals for BancFirst Insurance and for treasury management were not fully met, and recommended that Mr. Schmidt be paid approximately 36.80% and 86.80%, respectively, of the maximum bonus for such goals. Accordingly, the CEO determined, and recommended to the Compensation Committee, to pay Mr. Schmidt a total bonus of 23.07% of his base salary.

Mr. Harlow

For 2012, Mr. Harlow was eligible for a bonus of up to 26% of his base salary, based upon the aggregate budgeted pre-tax net income, budgeted classified assets, internal audit results, budgeted referrals for BancFirst Insurance and budgeted treasury management revenue, all with respect to the BancFirst branches that Mr. Harlow supervised; and budgeted net income for the Company’s principal bank subsidiary, BancFirst, on a company-wide basis;. As indicated in the table below, these factors were weighted so that the pre-tax net income goal constituted up to a 6.85% bonus, the classified assets goal constituted up to a 6.85% bonus, the branch audit results constituted up to a 2.3% bonus, the BancFirst Insurance goal constituted up to a 2.5% bonus, the treasury management revenue goal constituted up to a 2.5% bonus, and the budgeted net income goal for BancFirst constituted up to a 5% bonus, as indicated in the following table:


Objectives for 2012	Maximum Percentage of Base Salary			2012 Goal			Actual 2012 Performance
Pre-tax net income for BancFirst branches supervised		6.85	%	$	20,313,000		$	20,350,000
Classified assets for BancFirst branches supervised		6.85	%		(1	)		(1	)
Satisfactory branch internal audits for BancFirst branches supervised		2.3	%		(2	)		(2	)
BancFirst Insurance—budgeted referrals		2.00	%	$	150,000		$	169,000
Treasury Management Revenue		3.00	%	$	1,843,000		$	1,901,000
Net income for BancFirst		5.00	%	$	45,136,000		$	51,900,000

(1)	Federal and state banking regulations prohibit the Company from disclosing information contained in regulatory agency examination reports, such as amounts of classified assets.

(2)	The objective for the branch internal audits was determined subjectively based on the results of the internal audits for the previous year of the branches that Mr. Harlow supervises.

Based on Mr. Harlow fully meeting his pre-tax net income goal for 2012, the CEO determined to pay him 100% of the maximum bonus for this goal. The CEO determined that the goals for maintenance of asset quality, internal audit, BancFirst Insurance and treasury management revenue also were fully met, and determined and recommended that Mr. Harlow be paid 100% of the maximum bonus amounts for each such goal. The CEO also determined that the goal for Company net income were fully met, and recommended that Mr. Harlow be paid 100% of the maximum bonus for such goals. Accordingly, the CEO determined, and recommended to the Compensation Committee, to pay Mr. Harlow the maximum allowable bonus amount of 26% of his base salary.

Long-Term Awards

Stock Option Grants

Executive officers receive equity compensation awards in the form of nonqualified incentive stock options under the BancFirst Corporation Stock Option Plan (the “Employee Plan”). The stock options are designed to align the interests of the executive officers with the shareholders’ long-term interests by providing them with equity awards that generally are exercisable beginning four years from the date of grant at the rate of 25% per year for four years. Historically, the Company has not granted equity awards to the same degree as its peers; typically, option grants have been made either as an employment incentive in connection with the Company’s efforts to employ an executive officer, as a retention device or to focus executive officers on the achievement of long-term corporate goals. The Employee Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in 1986 and has been amended several times since its adoption to increase the number of shares issuable under the plan and to extend the term of the plan, which currently extends to December 31, 2014. An amendment to increase the Employee Plan by 200,000 shares is included as Proposal 5 in this proxy. The Company does not have stock ownership guidelines for its directors or executive officers. Given the CEO’s significant existing stock ownership in the Company, he has recommended to the Compensation Committee that he not be granted any additional stock options. Awards granted to our other executive officers are recommended by our CEO and approved by our Compensation Committee. All awards granted under the Plan are ratified by the full Board.

All stock options granted under the Employee Plan are made at the market price at the time of the award. The Company has never granted stock options with an exercise price that is less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by NASDAQ on the grant date, nor has it granted stock options which were priced on a date other than the grant date. The long-term incentive award information for the Company’s named executive officers during fiscal year 2012 is included in “— Executive Compensation—Option Grants in Last Fiscal Year” and additional information on the option awards is shown in “—Executive Compensation—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End.”

Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreements

In 2007, the Company entered into supplemental retirement agreements with a number of the Company’s executive officers designated by the CEO. These agreements seek to encourage the executive officers who are parties to such agreements to remain employed with the Company. Under the terms of the agreements, which were approved by the Compensation Committee, the signatory executive officer will receive a specified annual benefit paid in monthly installments for a specified number of years, typically 10 years, after retirement at age 65. If the executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause or by reason of voluntary early retirement, the executive officer will not receive any benefits under the agreement. The agreements also provide

for specified benefits (generally, the discounted present value of the income stream) in the event of a change-in-control or involuntary early retirement. For details regarding the terms and payments under the supplemental retirement agreement for Randy Foraker, David Harlow and Darryl Schmidt, the only named executive officers receiving such a benefit, see “—Executive Compensation—Potential Payments on Termination or Change-in-Control.”

Survivor Benefit Agreements

The Company has also entered into survivor benefit agreements with a number of the Company’s executive officers designated by the CEO. In connection with these agreements, the Company purchased life insurance policies with respect to the relevant individuals. Under these agreements, the Company owns the insurance policies, is entitled to the cash value of the policies and is responsible for paying the associated premiums. Upon the executive officer’s death while still employed with the Company, a beneficiary selected by the executive officer is entitled to a specified amount of the death benefit under the policy. The survivor benefit agreement and any benefit from it terminates upon the executive officer’s termination of employment for any reason, including retirement or disability. Randy Foraker, David Harlow and Darryl Schmidt are the only named executive officers who participated in this benefit. The value of the benefit is included in All Other Compensation in the following Summary Compensation Table.

Benefits Available to All Employees

The Company maintains a 401(k) employee savings and retirement plan, as well as an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), both of which are broad-based plans covering all full-time employees, including the Company’s executive officers, who have attained the age of 21 years and who have completed six months of employment during the year. The Company’s matching contribution to the 401(k) plan equals 50% of the first 6% of pay that is contributed by a participating employee to the plan. Benefits under the ESOP are based solely on the amount contributed by the Company, which is used to purchase the Company’s common stock. A participant’s allocation is the total employer contribution multiplied by the ratio of that participant’s applicable compensation over the amount of such compensation for all participants for that year. The total amount contributed by the Company to the ESOP for 2012 was $1,703,034, and the total amount contributed by the Company to the 401(k) plan in 2012 was $1,690,110. The contribution to the ESOP is based primarily on profits of the Company, but any contribution to the ESOP is within the sole discretion of the Board and there are no specific performance measures set forth in the ESOP. The value of the number of shares allocated to the named executive officers based on the Company’s contribution to these plans in 2012 is included as one of the components of compensation reported in “Summary Compensation Table – All Other Compensation.”

The Company offers group health and dental benefits to all full-time employees. A specified amount of the premium is paid by the Company for all participating employees, and the employees pay the additional amount of the premium for their respective level of coverage. The Company also provides fully-paid group term life insurance and long-term disability insurance to all full-time employees. The benefits under these group plans are based on the annual salaries of the employees.

Perquisites

We generally limit perquisites that we make available to executive officers to those that are available to all employees or are required for their efficient conduct of Company business. Three of the six named executive officers are furnished company-owned automobiles. Certain of the named executive officers and other executive officers are also provided with: club memberships and cell phones. Pursuant to the Company’s Aircraft Policy, the named executive officers and other management employees are provided use of the Company’s aircraft for business purposes. Generally, no named executive officer is provided use of the Company aircraft for personal travel. Pursuant to the Aircraft Policy, any such use is fully charged against the individual, at a rate of $625 per flight hour plus pilot expenses. The Company aircraft is owned jointly by the Company’s banking subsidiary and

an entity affiliated with H.E. Rainbolt and David E. Rainbolt, whose personal use of the Company aircraft is governed by the terms of a Joint Ownership Agreement. Information on the perquisites received by the named executive officers is included in “Summary Compensation Table – All Other Compensation.”

Employment Arrangements

The Company does not have employment arrangements with any of the named executive officers or any other executive officer.

Tax and Accounting Information

Deductibility of Executive Compensation. The qualifying compensation regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service under Internal Revenue Code section 162(m) provide that no deduction is allowed for applicable employee remuneration paid by a publicly held corporation to a covered employee to the extent that the remuneration exceeds $1.0 million for the applicable taxable year, unless specified conditions are satisfied. Currently, remuneration is not expected to exceed $1.0 million for any employee. Therefore, the Company does not expect that compensation will be affected by the qualifying compensation regulations.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth information relating to all compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and three most highly compensated officers, collectively referred to as the named executive officers in this document, for services rendered in all capacities to us during the last three fiscal years ended December 31, 2012.

Supplemental Retirement Benefits

The table below shows the present value of accumulated benefit payable to Randy Foraker, David Harlow and Darryl Schmidt under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement dated November 15, 2006. None of the other named executive officers are covered by a supplemental retirement agreement. The number of years of credited service for Messrs. Foraker, Harlow and Schmidt is their total years of service with the Company. The present value of accumulated benefit payable to Messrs. Foraker, Harlow and Schmidt was determined using a retirement age of 65 and a discount rate of 6%.


Name	Plan Name	Number of Years of Credited Service (#)		Present Value of Accumulated Benefit ($)		Payments During Last Fiscal Year ($)
Randy Foraker	Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement		26	$	101,234		—
David Harlow	Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement		13.3	$	96,339		—
Darryl Schmidt	Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement		9.6	$	95,472		—

Under the terms of the Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement, if Messrs. Foraker, Harlow or Schmidt remains continually employed with the Bank until age 65, Mr. Harlow and Mr. Schmidt will be entitled to a supplemental retirement benefit of $100,000 per year for ten years, and Mr. Foraker will be entitled to a supplemental retirement benefit of $50,000 per year for ten years, irrespective of whether they then retire or continue to be employed by the Bank beyond age 65. If Messrs. Foraker, Harlow or Schmidt dies during the ten-year period, their surviving spouse or other designated beneficiary will receive the remaining payments over the remainder of the ten-year period. A lump-sum distribution, equal to the discounted present value of the aggregate supplemental payments, is payable upon separation from service following a change of control of the Bank or if Messrs. Foraker, Harlow or Schmidt is terminated without cause between the ages of 59 and 65. No benefits are payable under the agreement if Messrs. Foraker, Harlow or Schmidt (i) ceases to be employed by the Bank for any reason (other than death) prior to reaching age 59 or (ii) is terminated by the Bank for “cause,” as such term

is defined in the agreement, prior to reaching age 65. If Messrs. Foraker, Harlow or Schmidt dies before age 65 while still employed with the Bank, his surviving spouse or other designated beneficiary will receive a lump sum distribution equal to a percentage of the total lump sum amount of Messrs. Foraker, Harlow or Schmidt supplemental retirement income, calculated on the percentage that the total number of months between the effective date of the agreement and the executive’s death represents of the total months between the effective date of the agreement and the date the executive would have reached age 65. Messrs. Foraker, Harlow or Schmidt will forfeit any non-distributed benefits payable under the agreement if he violates certain non-compete and confidentiality restrictions in the agreement.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control

Except for the Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement of Randy Foraker, David Harlow and Darryl Schmidt described above, the Company has no agreements with any other named executive officer providing for potential payments upon termination of employment or a change-in-control of the Company.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We provide the following elements of compensation for our non-employee directors, each of whom is also a director of the Bank:

•

A retainer of $1,500 per quarter to each non-employee director for serving on the Board.

•

A retainer of $1,500 per month to each non-employee director for serving on the Bank Board of Directors.

•

A fee of $1,000 per meeting to each member of the Audit Committee.

•

A retainer of $3,750 per quarter to the chairman of the Audit Committee.

•

A fee of $1,000 per meeting to each member of the Compensation Committee.

•

A grant of 10,000 options to each non-employee director at the time of their initial appointment or election to the Board.

We pay employee directors of the Company each a retainer of $500 per quarter for their services as directors.

The option grants are provided under the BancFirst Corporation Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Stock Plan”) and are exercisable at the rate of 25% per year beginning one year from the date of grant. If a director is terminated for cause, all options will be forfeited immediately. If a director ceases to be member of the Board for any other reason, unvested options will terminate and only previously vested options may be exercised for a period of 30 days following termination (or 12 months in the case of termination on account of death).

Non-employee directors can elect to defer all or any portion of their cash compensation through the BancFirst Corporation Directors’ Deferred Stock Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Stock Compensation Plan”). Under the Deferred Stock Compensation Plan, directors of the Company and members of the community advisory boards of the Bank may defer up to 100% of their Board fees. They are credited for each deferral with a number of stock units based on the current market price of the Company’s stock, which accumulate in an account until such time as the director or community board member terminates service as a Board member. Shares of our common stock are then distributed to the terminating director or community board member based upon the number of stock units accumulated in his or her account. Because stock units are not actual shares of our common stock, they do not have any voting rights.

Additionally, non-employee directors are reimbursed for their expenses in connection with attending Board meetings.

RECAPITALIZATION. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock on which Stock Options may be granted to persons participating under the Plan, the number of shares thereof covered by each outstanding Stock Option, and the price per share thereof in each such Stock Option, shall all be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock of the Corporation resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital adjustment, or the payment of a stock dividend or other increase or decrease in such shares, effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation; provided, however, that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be eliminated. In the event of a change in the Corporation’s Common Stock which is limited to a change in the designation thereof to “Capital Stock” or other similar designation, or a change in the par value thereof, or from par value to no par value, without increase in the number of issued shares, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be Common Stock within the meaning of the Plan.

(c)

to the Optionee as trustee, or to the Optionee and one or more others as co-trustees, of a revocable trust which allows the Optionee to amend or revoke the trust at any time. If the Optionee relinquishes his power to amend or revoke the trust or resigns as a trustee, the Optionee shall withdraw the Stock Option from the trust prior to the relinquishment of such power or his resignation as trustee and shall revest title to the Stock Option in the Optionee’s individual name. If the trust becomes irrevocable due to the death of the Optionee, the successor or remaining trustee(s) shall have the same power to exercise the Stock Option under Section 6.6 hereof as the personal representative. If the Optionee becomes incapacitated, the date of incapacity shall be deemed for purposes of this Plan as the date of termination of employment under Section 6.6 (whether or not Optionee’s employment has actually terminated), and the successor or remaining trustee(s) of the trust shall have the same right to exercise the Stock Option as a terminated Optionee has under Section 6.6. The Optionee as trustee and any successor or remaining trustee(s) shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Plan and the Stock Option Award Terms and Conditions delivered by the Company to the Optionee under this Plan.

(d)

to the extent set forth in the Stock Option Award Terms and Conditions governing such Stock Option.

6.10

OPTIONEE’S AGREEMENT. If, at the time of the exercise of any Stock Option, it is necessary or desirable, in order to comply with any applicable laws or regulations relating to the sale of securities, that the Optionee exercising the Stock Option shall agree that he will purchase the shares that are subject to the Stock Option for investment and not with any present intention to resell the same, the Optionee will, upon the request of the Corporation, execute and deliver to the Corporation an agreement to such effect.

6.11

RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. An Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares covered by his Stock Option until the date of issuance of the shares to him and only after such shares are fully paid.

6.12

OTHER PROVISIONS. The Stock Option Award Terms and Conditions authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions as the Committee shall deem advisable.

6.13

CHARITABLE GIFT. An Optionee shall be permitted to assign his Stock Option without consideration, either in full or in one or more partial assignments from time to time, to any organization

C-4

that has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “Charity”). Assignment(s) may be made during the Optionee’s lifetime or may be effective upon his death. If a Stock Option is assigned to a Charity, in whole or in part, it shall continue to be subject to the restrictions of Sections 6.5 and 6.6 hereof, which shall thereafter apply to the same extent as if the Stock Option were still held by the Optionee himself (if he is living), or by his estate, personal representative or beneficiary (if he is deceased).

7.	MARKETABILITY OF SHARES. The Common Stock is currently traded on the NASDAQ Global Market. As a result, its liquidity varies widely in response to supply and demand. Consequently, the Corporation can give no assurances as to the marketability of shares acquired under the Plan.

TAX IMPLICATIONS. It is anticipated that Stock Options granted under the Plan will be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options by the Internal Revenue Service. As such, exercise of the Stock Option would generate a taxable event with the difference between the original Option Exercise Price and the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock at the time of exercise being treated as ordinary income. If a Stock Option is transferred to a Charity as permitted by Sections 6.9(b) and 6.13 hereof, the Optionee should expect to have ordinary income attributed to him at the time the Charity exercises the Stock Option, in the same amount and with the same effect as if the Optionee himself exercised the Stock Option.

9.	TERM OF PLAN. No Stock Option may be granted after December 31, 2014.

10.	NO OBLIGATION TO EXERCISE OPTION. The granting of a Stock Option shall impose no obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Stock Option.

11.

AMENDMENTS. The Board of Directors may from time to time amend, alter, suspend, or discontinue the Plan or alter or amend (including decrease of the Option Exercise Price by cancellation and substitution of options or otherwise) any and all option agreements granted thereunder; provided, however, that after the first registration of the Common Stock under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, no such action of the Board of Directors may, without approval of the stockholders of the Corporation, alter the provisions of the Plan so as to (a) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan; (b) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan; or (c) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the Plan; and provided, further, that no amendment may, without the consent of the Optionee, affect any then outstanding Stock Options or unexercised portions thereof. In addition, the approval of the Corporation’s stockholders shall be sought for any amendment to the Plan or a Stock Option for which the Committee deems stockholder approval necessary in order to comply with Rule 16b-3.
