    --  Merger with Zions Bancorporation announced

Amegy Bancorporation, Inc., parent of Amegy Bank N.A. (NASDAQ:ABNK), today reported second quarter results that reflect the successful continuation of its strategy to build its core businesses. On July 6, the Company announced its intent to merge with Zions Bancorporation (NASDAQ:ZION). The merger is subject to Amegy Bancorporation shareholder and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2005.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, net income was $19.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted common share, compared to $16.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, or $0.23 per diluted common share.

Return on average assets and return on average common shareholders' equity for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were 1.00% and 12.88%, respectively, compared to 1.06% and 12.66%, respectively, for the same period in 2004.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2005 was $94.0 million, an increase of 22% over the same period in 2004 and up 3.3% linked quarter or 13% on an annualized basis. Average loans held for investment were $4.65 billion, a 23% increase over the second quarter of 2004 and an increase of 6% on an annualized basis. Period end loans held for investment increased 10% on an annualized basis over the first quarter of 2005. Average deposits were $5.65 billion, an increase of 20% over the comparable period in 2004 and 14% annualized on a linked quarter basis. Average assets increased to $7.66 billion, a 24% increase from the second quarter of 2004 and an increase of 5% annualized on a linked quarter basis.

"This has been an exciting quarter for us and one that shows our continued growth not only through the work of our extraordinary group of bankers but in planning for future expansion and development through our affiliation with Zions Bancorporation," said Paul Murphy, CEO. "I believe there are significant revenue enhancement opportunities as well as infrastructure and expense benefits that can be gained in this new partnership. We think we fit perfectly into Zions' collection of great banks."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased to $62.4 million, or 15%, for the second quarter of 2005 over the same period a year earlier and increased 0.3% linked quarter. The taxable-equivalent net interest margin decreased 10 basis points linked quarter to 3.77%. The yield on the loan portfolio increased by 32 basis points and the yield from the securities portfolio decreased 3 basis points from the first quarter of 2005. Cost of funds, including demand deposits, was 178 basis points for the quarter, up 31 basis points on a linked quarter basis.

Noninterest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2005, noninterest income totaled $31.6 million, a 40% increase from the same period in 2004 and a 9.7% increase linked quarter. Service charges on deposit accounts were $10.7 million, down 6% linked quarter, primarily due to an increase in the earnings credit rate. Investment services and trust fee income totaled $4.6 million, a 61% increase from the same period in 2004 and a 29% increase linked quarter. This increase is primarily due to increased foreign exchange, insurance, and mutual fund fee income.

"The people and products that we have invested in over the past few years are producing significant results for our customers and our noninterest income stream," said Scott McLean, President. "Our strengthened capacity in trust, capital markets and foreign exchange have enabled us to leverage current relationships, as well as add new ones, with an array of products and services that have been well-received by our customers."

Other fee income increased 9.3% linked quarter to $8.0 million driven by an increase in letters of credit and servicing fees. Other operating income increased 27% linked quarter to $8.3 million, including a valuation gain of $3.8 million on one private equity investment.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $66.3 million, an increase of 3.3% linked quarter. Salaries and benefits were essentially flat at $34.7 million for the quarter. Other expenses were $20.8 million for the quarter, an increase of $1.9 million, or 10%, linked quarter. This increase is primarily due to an increase in loan and other real estate owned expenses of $1.4 million resulting from a write down of two foreclosed assets in the second quarter. Name change expenses were $1.7 million and merger-related expenses were $759,000 for the quarter.

On a taxable-equivalent basis, the efficiency ratio was 67.12% for the second quarter of 2005 compared to 66.94% linked quarter. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2005 was 26.8% compared to 28.5% in the first quarter reflecting the recognition of tax credits received during the quarter.

Asset Quality

Asset quality continued to be a strength during the second quarter. Nonperforming assets declined to $21.0 million, or 0.44% of loans and other real estate, compared to $22.1 million, or 0.48% of loans and other real estate, linked quarter. Allowance for credit losses to total loans is 1.06% at June 30, 2005, compared to 1.09% linked quarter. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 347.61% at June 30, 2005 compared to 358.92% linked quarter.
