June 5, 2002, International Bancshares Corporation (&#147;IBC&#148;) issued a news

release announcing that its board of directors authorized IBC to expand its

stock repurchase program.&#160; IBC is now

authorized to repurchase up to $105 million of its common stock through

December 2002, compared to the prior authorization of $80 million through

December 2002.&#160; Common stock repurchases

may be made from time to time, on the open market or through private

transactions.&#160; Common stock repurchased

in this program will be held in treasury for reissue for various corporate

purposes, including employee stock option plans.&#160; As of May 31, 2002, a total of 1,863,907 shares of common stock

had been repurchased under this program at a total cost of approximately $76

million, which shares are now reflected as 2,240,943 shares of treasury stock

as adjusted for stock dividends.&#160; The

Company currently has invested approximately $97 million in treasury shares,

which amount has been accumulated since the inception of the Company.</font></b></p>
