RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below in conjunction with the other information in this prospectus and information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks or other risks which have not been identified or which we may believe are immaterial or unlikely, actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. This could cause the price of our stock to decline, and you may lose part or all of your investment. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements about our future plans, objectives, intentions and expectations. Past results are not a reliable indicator of future results, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Many factors, including those described below, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements.

Risks Related To Our Business and Industry

We are subject to lending risk.

There are inherent risks associated with our lending activities. These risks include, among other things, the impact of changes in interest rates and changes in the economic conditions in the markets where we operate as well as those across the United States. Increases in interest rates and/or weakening economic conditions could adversely impact the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans or the value of the collateral securing these loans.

As of December 31, 2006, approximately 61% of our loan portfolio consisted of commercial, construction and commercial real estate loans. These types of loans are generally viewed as having more risk to our financial condition than residential real estate loans or consumer loans due primarily to the large amounts loaned to individual borrowers. Because the loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial, construction and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans could cause a significant increase in non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a net loss of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for possible loan losses and an increase in loan charge-offs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, approximately 82.6% of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2006 had real estate as a primary or secondary component of the collateral securing the loan. An adverse change in the value of real estate generally and in our markets specifically could significantly impair the value of the collateral securing our loans and our ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure for an amount necessary to satisfy the borrower’s obligations to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We have a concentration of credit exposure in commercial real estate.

At December 31, 2006, we had approximately $629 million in commercial real estate loans, representing approximately 34.45% of our loans outstanding on that date. In addition to the general risks associated with our lending activities described above, commercial real estate loans are subject to additional risks. Commercial real estate loans depend on cash flows from the property to service the debt. Cash flows may be affected significantly by general economic conditions, and a downturn in the local economy generally or in occupancy rates where the property is located could increase the likelihood of default. In addition, banking regulators are giving commercial real estate lending greater scrutiny and may require banks with higher levels of commercial real estate loans to implement improved underwriting, internal controls, risk management policies and portfolio stress testing, as well as possibly higher levels of allowances for possible losses and capital levels as a result of commercial real estate lending growth and exposure. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to successfully integrate Capital or realize the anticipated benefits of the merger.

Our merger with Capital involves the combination of two bank holding companies that previously have operated independently. A successful combination of the operations of the two entities will depend substantially on our ability to consolidate operations, systems and procedures and to eliminate redundancies and costs. We may not be able to combine the operations of Capital with our operations without encountering difficulties, such as:

 

•

the loss of key employees and customers;

 

•

the disruption of operations and business;

 

•

inability to maintain and increase competitive presence;

 

•

deposit attrition, customer loss and revenue loss;

 

•

possible inconsistencies in standards, control procedures and policies;

 

•

unexpected problems with costs, operations, personnel, technology and credit; and/or

 

•

problems with the assimilation of new operations, sites or personnel, which could divert resources from regular banking operations.

Additionally, general market and economic conditions or governmental actions affecting the financial industry generally may inhibit our successful integration of Capital.

Further, we entered into the merger agreement with the expectation that the merger will result in various benefits including, among other things, benefits relating to enhanced revenues, a strengthened market position for the combined company in the Nashville MSA, cross selling opportunities, technology, cost savings and operating efficiencies. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the merger is subject to a number of uncertainties, including whether we integrate Capital in an efficient and effective manner, and general competitive factors in the marketplace. We also believe that our ability to successfully integrate Capital with our operations will depend to a large degree upon our ability to retain Capital’s existing management personnel. Although we have entered into or will enter into employment and noncompetition agreements with certain officers of Capital, there can be no assurance that these officers or key employees will not depart.

Failure to achieve these anticipated benefits could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues and diversion of management’s time and energy and could materially impact our business, financial condition and operating results. In addition, the attention and effort devoted to the integration of Capital with our existing operations may divert management’s attention from other important issues and could seriously harm our business. Finally, any cost savings that are realized may be offset by losses in revenues or other charges to earnings.

We could fail to consummate the proposed acquisitions of Capital and its subsidiary bank.

We have entered into an agreement to merge with Capital and acquire its subsidiary bank. This acquisition is dependent upon certain conditions, including, without limitation, approval of Capital’s shareholders and regulatory approvals. Should we fail to consummate the acquisition, we could be adversely affected because of the transactional costs associated with the acquisition.

We depend on the accuracy and completeness of information furnished by others about customers and counterparties.

In deciding whether to extend credit or enter into other transactions, we often rely on information furnished by or on behalf of customers and counterparties, including financial statements, credit reports and other financial information. We may also rely on representations of those customers, counterparties or other third parties, such

as independent auditors, as to the accuracy and completeness of that information. Reliance on inaccurate or misleading financial statements, credit reports or other financial information could have a material adverse effect on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

The allowance for possible loan losses may be insufficient.

Although we try to maintain diversification within our loan portfolio in order to minimize the effect of economic conditions within a particular industry, management also maintains an allowance for loan losses, which is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on management’s quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses, including collective impairment. Among other considerations in establishing the allowance for loan losses, management considers economic conditions reflected within industry segments, the unemployment rate in our markets, loan segmentation and historical losses that are inherent in the loan portfolio. The determination of the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses inherently involves a high degree of subjectivity and requires management to make significant estimates of current credit risks and future trends, all of which may undergo material changes. Changes in economic conditions affecting borrowers, new information regarding existing loans, identification of additional problem loans and other factors, both within and outside of our control, may require an increase in the allowance for loan losses.

In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management. In addition, if charge-offs in future periods exceed the allowance for loan losses, we will need additional provisions to increase the allowance for loan losses. Any increases in the allowance for loan losses will result in a decrease in net income and, possibly, capital and may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to interest rate risk.

Our earnings and cash flows are largely dependent upon our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets, such as loans and securities, and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed funds. Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control, including general economic conditions and policies of various governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the Federal Reserve. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but such changes could also affect (1) our ability to originate loans and obtain deposits, which could reduce the amount of fee income generated, (2) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities and (3) the average duration of our mortgage-backed securities portfolio. If the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings increase at a faster rate than the interest rates received on loans and other investments, our net interest income could be adversely affected, which in turn could negatively affect our earnings. Earnings could also be adversely affected if the interest rates received on loans and other investments fall more quickly than the interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.

Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on the results of our operations, any substantial, unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Volatility in interest rates may also result in disintermediation, which is the flow of funds away from financial institutions into direct investments, such as U.S. Government and Agency securities and other investment vehicles, including mutual funds, which generally pay higher rates of return than financial institutions because of the absence of federal insurance premiums and reserve requirements. Disintermediation could also result in material adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations.

Liquidity needs could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We rely on the dividends from our bank as our primary source of funds. The primary source of funds of our bank are customer deposits and loan repayments. While scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, they are subject to the ability of borrowers to repay the loans. The ability of borrowers to repay loans can be adversely affected by a number of factors, including changes in economic conditions, adverse trends or events affecting business industry groups, reductions in real estate values or markets, business closings or lay-offs, inclement weather, natural disasters and international instability. Additionally, deposit levels may be affected by a number of factors, including rates paid by competitors, general interest rate levels, returns available to customers on alternative investments and general economic conditions. Accordingly, we may be required from time to time to rely on secondary sources of liquidity to meet withdrawal demands or otherwise fund operations or to support growth. Such sources include Federal Home Loan Bank advances and federal funds lines of credit from correspondent banks. While we believe that these sources are currently adequate, there can be no assurance they will be sufficient to meet future liquidity demands, particularly if we continue to grow and experience increasing loan demand.

If the aforementioned sources of liquidity are not adequate for our needs, we may attempt to raise additional capital in the capital markets. Our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in such markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of our ability to raise additional capital in this manner.

If we are unable to meet our liquidity needs, we may be required to slow or discontinue loan growth, capital expenditures or other investments or liquidate assets.

Our business strategy includes the continuation of growth plans, and our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth effectively.

Since 2004, we have significantly grown our business outside our Mississippi footprint through the acquisition of entire financial institutions and through de novo branching. We intend to continue pursuing a growth strategy for our business through de novo branching. In addition, although we have no current intentions regarding new acquisitions in the next few years, we expect to continue to evaluate attractive acquisition opportunities that are presented to us. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in growth stages of development, including the following:

Management of Growth. We may be unable to successfully

 

•

maintain loan quality in the context of significant loan growth;

 

•

maintain adequate management personnel and systems to oversee such growth;

 

•

maintain adequate internal audit, loan review and compliance functions; and

 

•

implement additional policies, procedures and operating systems required to support such growth.

Operating Results. There is no assurance that existing offices or future offices will maintain or achieve deposit levels, loan balances or other operating results necessary to avoid losses or produce profits. Our growth and de novo branching strategy necessarily entails growth in overhead expenses as we routinely add new offices and staff. Our historical results may not be indicative of future results or results that may be achieved as we continue to increase the number and concentration of our branch offices. Should any new location be unprofitable or marginally profitable, or should any existing location experience a decline in profitability or incur losses, the adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition could be more significant than would be the case for a larger company.

Development of Offices. There are considerable costs involved in opening branches, and new branches generally do not generate sufficient revenues to offset their costs until they have been in operation for at least a

Index to Financial Statements

year or more. Accordingly, our de novo branches can be expected to negatively impact our earnings for some period of time until the branches reach certain economies of scale. Our expenses could be further increased if we encounter delays in opening any of our de novo branches. We may be unable to accomplish future branch expansion plans due to a lack of available satisfactory sites, difficulties in acquiring such sites, increased expenses or loss of potential sites due to complexities associated with zoning and permitting processes, higher than anticipated acquisition costs or other factors. Finally, we have no assurance our de novo branches or branches that we may acquire will be successful even after they have been established or acquired, as the case may be.

Expansion into New Markets. Much of our recent growth, and all of our growth through acquisitions, has been focused in the highly-competitive Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee and Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama metropolitan markets. The customer demographics and financial services offerings in these markets are unlike those found in the Mississippi markets that we have historically served. In these growth markets we face competition from a wide array of financial institutions, including much larger, well-established financial institutions. Our expansion into these new markets may be unsuccessful if we are unable to meet customer demands or compete effectively with the financial institutions operating in these markets.

Regulatory and Economic Factors. Our growth and expansion plans may be adversely affected by a number of regulatory and economic developments or other events. Failure to obtain required regulatory approvals, changes in laws and regulations or other regulatory developments and changes in prevailing economic conditions or other unanticipated events may prevent or adversely affect our continued growth and expansion. Such factors may cause us to alter our growth and expansion plans or slow or halt the growth and expansion process, which may prevent us from entering certain target markets or allow competitors to gain or retain market share in our existing or expected markets.

Failure to successfully address these issues could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations, and could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategy. Also, if our growth occurs more slowly than anticipated or declines, our operating results could be materially adversely affected.

We may face risks with respect to future acquisitions.

When we attempt to expand our business through mergers or acquisitions, we seek partners that are culturally similar to us, have experienced management and possess either significant market presence or have potential for improved profitability through economies of scale or expanded services. Acquiring other banks, businesses or branches involves various risks commonly associated with acquisitions, including, among other things:

 

•

the time and costs associated with identifying and evaluating potential acquisition and merger partners;

 

•

inaccuracies in the estimates and judgments used to evaluate credit, operations, management and market risks with respect to the target institution;

 

•

the time and costs of evaluating new markets, hiring experienced local management and opening new bank locations, and the time lags between these activities and the generation of sufficient assets and deposits to support the costs of the expansion;

 

•

our ability to finance an acquisition and possible dilution to our existing shareholders;

 

•

the diversion of our management’s attention to the negotiation of a transaction;

 

•

the incurrence of an impairment of goodwill associated with an acquisition and adverse effects on our results of operations;

 

•

entry into new markets where we lack experience; and

 

•

risks associated with integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired business, which are discussed above in the context of our proposed acquisition of Capital.

Although we have no current intentions regarding new acquisitions in the next few years, we expect to continue to evaluate merger and acquisition opportunities that are presented to us and conduct due diligence activities related to possible transactions with other financial institutions. As a result, merger or acquisition discussions and, in some cases, negotiations may take place, and future mergers or acquisitions involving cash, debt or equity securities may occur at any time. Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over book and market values, and, therefore, some dilution of our tangible book value and net income per common share may occur in connection with any future transaction. Furthermore, failure to realize the expected revenue increases, cost savings, increases in geographic or product presence and/or other projected benefits from an acquisition could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Competition in the banking industry is intense and may adversely affect our profitability.

We face substantial competition in all areas of our operations from a variety of different competitors, many of which are larger and have substantially greater resources than we have, including higher total assets and capitalization, greater access to capital markets and a broader offering of financial services. Such competitors primarily include national, regional and community banks within the various markets in which we operate. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including savings and loans, credit unions, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, factoring companies and other financial intermediaries.

Our industry could become even more competitive as a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes and continued consolidation. Banks, securities firms and insurance companies can merge under the umbrella of a financial holding company, which can offer virtually any type of financial service, including banking, securities underwriting, insurance (both agency and underwriting) and merchant banking. Also, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services traditionally provided by banks, such as automatic transfer and automatic payment systems. Many of our competitors have fewer regulatory constraints and may have lower cost structures.

Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including, among other things:

 

•

the ability to develop, maintain and build upon long-term customer relationships based on top quality service, high ethical standards and safe, sound assets;

 

•

the ability to expand our market position;

 

•

the scope, relevance and pricing of products and services offered to meet customer needs and demands;

 

•

the rate at which we introduce new products and services relative to our competitors;

 

•

customer satisfaction with our level of service; and

 

•

industry and general economic trends.

Failure to perform in any of these areas could significantly weaken our competitive position, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Our profitability depends significantly on economic conditions in the states of Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama.

Our success depends primarily on the general economic conditions of the states of Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama and the specific local markets in each of those states in which we operate. Unlike larger national or other regional banks that are more geographically diversified, 73% of our loans and 61% of our deposits at December 31, 2006 were principally located in the Tupelo, Oxford and DeSoto County, Mississippi; Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee; and Birmingham, Decatur and Huntsville, Alabama metropolitan areas. The local

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

economic conditions in these areas have a significant impact on the demand for our products and services as well as the ability of our customers to repay loans, the value of the collateral securing loans and the stability of our deposit funding sources.

The earnings of bank holding companies are significantly affected by general business and economic conditions.

In addition to the risks associated with the general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, our operations and profitability are also impacted by general business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, money supply, political issues, legislative and regulatory changes, fluctuations in both debt and equity capital markets, broad trends in industry and finance and the strength of the U.S. economy and the local economies in which we operate, all of which are beyond our control. A deterioration in economic conditions could result in an increase in loan delinquencies and non-performing assets, decreases in loan collateral values and a decrease in demand for our products and services, among other things, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to extensive government regulation, and such regulation could limit or restrict our activities and adversely affect our earnings.

We and our bank are subject to extensive federal and state regulation and supervision. Banking regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors’ funds, federal deposit insurance funds and the banking system as a whole, not the economic or other interests of shareholders. These regulations affect our lending practices, capital structure, investment practices, dividend policy and growth, among other things. Changes to statutes, regulations or regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of the foregoing, could affect us and/or our bank in substantial and unpredictable ways. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the types of financial services and products we may offer and/or increase the ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among other things.

Under regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and other regulatory requirements, we and our bank must meet guidelines that include quantitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items, subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. If we fail to meet these minimum capital guidelines and other regulatory requirements, our financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. Our failure to maintain the status of “well capitalized” under our regulatory framework could affect the confidence of our customers in us, thus compromising our competitive position. In addition, failure to maintain the status of “well capitalized” under our regulatory framework or “well managed” under regulatory examination procedures could compromise our status as a bank holding company and related eligibility for a streamlined review process for acquisition proposals.

We are also subject to laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new SEC regulations. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased expenses and a diversion of management time and attention.

Failure to comply with laws, regulations or policies could also result in sanctions by regulatory agencies and/or civil money penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and

results of operations. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent any such violations, there can be no assurance that such violations will not occur. Please refer to Note N, “Regulatory Matters,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Renasant included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information regarding the regulatory environment in which we operate.

Our recent results may not be indicative of our future results.

We do not expect to be able to sustain our historical rate of growth, and we may not even be able to grow our business at all. Our recent and rapid growth, which was due in large part to our acquisitions of Renasant Bancshares and Heritage in 2004 and 2005, respectively, may distort some of our historical financial ratios and statistics. In the future, we may not have the benefit of several recently favorable factors, such as a generally stable interest rate environment, a strong residential mortgage market or the ability to find suitable expansion opportunities. In addition, we have no current intentions regarding future acquisitions of financial institutions. Thus, our future rate of growth is unlikely to reflect the rate of our growth we have experienced since 2004. Various factors, such as economic conditions, regulatory and legislative considerations and competition, which are discussed in more detail above, may also impede or prohibit our ability to expand our market presence. If we experience a significant decrease in our historical rate of growth, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We may not be able to attract and retain skilled people.

Our success depends in part on our ability to retain key executives and to attract and retain additional qualified personnel who have experience both in sophisticated banking matters and in operating a bank of our size. Competition for such personnel is intense in the banking industry, and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining the personnel we require. The unexpected loss of one or more of our key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business because of their skills, knowledge of our markets, years of industry experience and the difficulty of promptly finding qualified replacements. We expect to effectively compete in this area by offering financial packages that are competitive within the industry.

We are subject to environmental liability risk associated with lending activities.

A significant portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real property. During the ordinary course of business, we may foreclose on and take title to properties securing certain loans. In doing so, there is a risk that hazardous or toxic substances could be found on these properties. If hazardous or toxic substances are found, we may be liable for remediation costs, as well as for personal injury and property damage. Environmental laws may require us to incur substantial expenses and may materially reduce the affected property’s value or limit our ability to use or sell the affected property. The remediation costs and any other financial liabilities associated with an environmental hazard could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, future laws or more stringent interpretations or enforcement policies with respect to existing laws may increase our exposure to environmental liability. Although management has policies and procedures to perform an environmental review before the loan is recorded and before initiating any foreclosure action on real property, these reviews may not be sufficient to detect all potential environmental hazards.

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other external events could significantly impact our business.

Severe weather, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism and other adverse external events could have a significant impact on our ability to conduct business. Such events could affect the stability of our deposit base, impair the ability of borrowers to repay outstanding loans, impair the value of collateral securing loans, cause significant property damage, result in loss of revenue and/or cause us to incur additional expenses. For example, during 2005, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall and subsequently caused extensive flooding and destruction along the coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico. Although our operations were not disrupted by these

hurricanes or their aftermath, other severe weather or natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism or other adverse external events may occur in the future. Although management has established disaster recovery policies and procedures, the occurrence of any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Associated With Our Common Stock

Shares eligible for future sale could have a dilutive effect.

Shares of our common stock eligible for future sale, including those that may be issued in the acquisition of Capital and any other offering of our common stock for cash, could have a dilutive effect on the market for our common stock and could adversely affect market prices.

As of April 19, 2007, there were 75,000,000 shares of our common stock authorized, of which 15,560,006 shares were outstanding, excluding 1,174,883 shares issuable under outstanding options and warrants to purchase our common stock as of April 19, 2007. We currently estimate that up to a maximum of approximately 2.9 million shares will be issued to Capital shareholders in connection with that acquisition. Under the merger agreement, in the event that both the market value of our common stock and the value of the NASDAQ Bank Index decline by amounts specified in the merger agreement as of the date of determination, Capital may terminate the merger agreement, provided, however, that we may adjust the exchange ratio used in the merger agreement to account for the decline in the value of our stock price and proceed with the merger. As a result, we are unable to state with certainty the number of shares that we may ultimately issue in the Capital transaction. Any adjustment in the exchange ratio will likely result in additional shares of our common stock being issued to Capital shareholders, which would cause additional dilution to our current shareholders and investors purchasing shares in this offering.

The market price of our common stock may decline after the stock offering.

We are currently offering for sale 2,400,000 shares of our common stock (2,760,000 shares if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). The possibility that substantial amounts of shares of our common stock may be sold in the public market may cause prevailing market prices for our common stock to decrease. Additionally, because stock prices generally fluctuate over time, there is no assurance purchasers of common stock in the offering will be able to sell shares after the offering at a price equal to or greater than the actual purchase price. Purchasers should consider these possibilities in determining whether to purchase shares of common stock and the timing of any sale of shares of common stock.

Our stock price can be volatile.

Stock price volatility may make it more difficult for you to resell your common stock when you want and at prices you find attractive. Our stock price can fluctuate significantly in response to a variety of factors including, among other things:

 

•

actual or anticipated variations in quarterly results of operations;

 

•

recommendations by securities analysts;

 

•

operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;

 

•

news reports relating to trends, concerns and other issues in the banking and financial services industry;

 

•

perceptions in the marketplace regarding us and/or our competitors;

 

•

new technology used, or services offered, by us or our competitors;

 

•

significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving us or our competitors;

 

•

failure to integrate acquisitions or realize anticipated benefits from acquisitions;

•

changes in government regulations; and

 

•

geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

General market fluctuations, industry factors and general economic and political conditions and events, such as economic slowdowns or recessions, interest rate changes or credit loss trends, could also cause our stock price to decrease regardless of operating results.

The trading volume in our common stock is less than that of other larger bank holding companies.

Although our common stock is listed for trading on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the average daily trading volume in our common stock is low, generally less than that of many of the our competitors and other larger bank holding companies. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the average daily trading volume for our common stock was approximately 31,500 shares per day. A public trading market having the desired characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends on the presence in the marketplace of willing buyers and sellers of our common stock at any given time. This presence depends on the individual decisions of investors and general economic and market conditions over which we have no control. Significant sales of our common stock, or the expectation of these sales, could cause volatility in the price of our common stock.

Our ability to declare and pay dividends is limited by law, and we may be unable to pay future dividends.

We are a separate and distinct legal entity from our bank, and we receive substantially all of our revenue from dividends from our bank. These dividends are the principal source of funds to pay dividends on our common stock and interest and principal on debt. Various federal and/or state laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that our bank may pay to us. In the event our bank is unable to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to service debt, pay obligations or pay dividends on our common stock. The inability to receive dividends from our bank could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Price Range of Our Common Stock and Dividend Information” below for more information regarding restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.

Holders of our junior subordinated debentures have rights that are senior to those of our common shareholders.

We have supported our continued growth through the issuance of trust preferred securities from special purpose trusts and accompanying junior subordinated debentures. Also, in connection with the Heritage acquisition, we assumed junior subordinated debentures issued by Heritage. At December 31, 2006, we had outstanding trust preferred securities and accompanying junior subordinated debentures totaling approximately $64 million. Payments of the principal and interest on the trust preferred securities of these trusts are conditionally guaranteed by us. Further, the junior subordinated debentures we issued to the trusts are senior to our shares of common stock. As a result, we must make payments on the junior subordinated debentures before any dividends can be paid on our common stock and, in the event of our bankruptcy, dissolution or liquidation, the holders of the junior subordinated debentures must be satisfied before any distributions can be made on our common stock. We have the right to defer distributions on our junior subordinated debentures (and the related trust preferred securities) for up to five years, during which time no dividends may be paid on our common stock.

An investment in our common stock is not an insured deposit.

Our common stock is not a bank deposit and, therefore, is not insured against loss by the FDIC, any deposit insurance fund or by any other public or private entity. Investment in our common stock is inherently risky for the reasons described in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this report and is subject to the same market forces that affect the price of common stock in any company. As a result, if you acquire our common stock, you may lose some or all of your investment.

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as well as certain banking laws, could decrease our chances of being acquired even if our acquisition is in our shareholders’ best interests.

Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and federal banking laws, including regulatory approval requirements, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would be perceived to be beneficial to our shareholders. The combination of these provisions impedes a non-negotiated merger or other business combination, which, in turn, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Our issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect holders of our common stock and discourage a takeover.

Our board of directors is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our shareholders. Our board of directors also has the power, without shareholder approval, to set the terms of any series of preferred stock that may be issued, including voting rights, dividend rights, preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends or in the event of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up and other terms. In the event that we issue preferred stock in the future that has preference over our common stock with respect to payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or if we issue preferred stock with voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common stock, the rights of the holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected. In addition, the ability of our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock without any action on the part of our shareholders may impede a takeover of us and prevent a transaction favorable to our shareholders.

Possible Violation of the Securities Act of 1933

On April 20, 2007, we sent an e-mail to the participants in our 401(k) plan to determine their level of interest in purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. On May 4, 2007, we sent a follow-up e-mail to those participants who had indicated an interest in purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering. Fifty-five of our employees decided to purchase an aggregate of approximately 37,500 shares of our common stock.

The underwriters have advised us that they will not accept from the 401(k) plan the offer to purchase approximately 37,500 shares of our common stock. We have determined that the trustee under our 401(k) plan will acquire from us at the offering price set forth in this Prospectus the number of shares of our common stock that each participant indicated an interest in purchasing. All shares purchased from us by the trustee will be registered on a Form S-8.

The offer to the participants in our 401(k) plan may have violated Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the event that the e-mails in fact violated Section 5, the participants would have a claim against us for damages they incurred by virtue of such violation. Because the participants will be able to purchase through our 401(k) plan the number of shares they indicated an interest in purchasing at the offering price set forth in this Prospectus, we do not believe that we have a material contingent liability associated with any violation of Section 5 as described.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming a public offering price of $24.14 per share (based on the closing price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on April 19, 2007), the following table shows the calculation of the estimated net proceeds we will receive from the sale of shares of our common stock in this offering.

 

Gross proceeds from offering		$	57,936,000
Less: Underwriting discounts and commissions			3,331,320
Estimated expenses of offering			400,000
Net proceeds to us		$	54,204,680

We expect to use the net proceeds of this offering, together with cash on hand, if necessary, to fund the cash portion of the merger consideration payable in our acquisition of Capital. Under the terms of our merger agreement with Capital, the maximum amount of cash merger consideration we could be required to pay is approximately $55 million, based on the number of shares of Capital common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus and assuming that 40% of the merger consideration is paid in cash. We intend to use any proceeds of this offering remaining after the payment of the cash merger consideration, if any, for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, to support our bank’s internal growth and capital needs.

Our acquisition of Capital is discussed in more detail in this prospectus in the section entitled “Business—Recent Developments.” The acquisition of Capital is subject to approval by Capital’s shareholders and regulatory approval and to other conditions specified in the merger agreement with Capital. The success of this offering, however, is not a condition to the Capital acquisition. If the Capital acquisition is not completed, we expect to use the entire net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, to support our bank’s internal growth and capital needs.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization and certain capital ratios as of December 31, 2006. Our capitalization is presented:

 

•

on an actual basis;

 

•

on an as adjusted basis to reflect the sale of 2.4 million shares of our common stock at the public offering price of $24.14 per share (based on the closing price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on April 19, 2007) and our receipt of approximately $54.2 million in estimated net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of this offering; and

 

•

on a pro forma as adjusted basis, giving effect to the aforementioned offering, and assuming approximately 2.674 million shares to be issued in connection with the acquisition of Capital and the application of all of the estimated net proceeds from this offering to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration, assuming that 40% of the merger consideration is paid in cash.

We have based the as adjusted and pro forma as adjusted capitalization information on available information and assumptions that management believes are reasonable and that reflect the effect of these transactions as if they occurred on December 31, 2006. In the event that both the market value of our common stock and the value of the NASDAQ Bank Index decline by amounts specified in the merger agreement as of the date of determination, Capital may terminate the merger agreement, provided, however, that we may adjust the exchange ratio used in the merger agreement to account for the decline in the value of our stock price and proceed with the merger. This table should be read in conjunction with the information appearing under “Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Data” and our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus and the historical financial statements and related notes of Capital included in this prospectus.

Pro forma as adjusted calculation assumes that the proceeds from the offering would have been received as the last transaction for the year ended December 31, 2006 and that the Capital merger had been consummated on December 31, 2006.

(8)	The as adjusted and pro forma as adjusted calculations for the risk-based capital ratios assume that the net proceeds from the offering are invested in assets which carry a 0% risk weighting as of December 31, 2006.

PRICE RANGE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION

Effective July 3, 2006, our common stock began trading on The NASDAQ Global Select Market. From May 2, 2005 until July 3, 2006, our common stock traded on The NASDAQ National Market (for purposes of the following discussion, “Nasdaq” refers to The NASDAQ National Market for the period when our common stock was listed on such market tier and refers to The NASDAQ Global Select Market thereafter). Our ticker symbol on Nasdaq is “RNST”. Prior to May 2, 2005, our common stock traded on the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) under the ticker symbol “PHC”. On April 19, 2007, we had approximately 5,367 shareholders of record.

The following table sets forth the high and low sales price for our common stock for each quarterly period for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and through May 7, 2007 as reported on Nasdaq or the AMEX, as applicable, and the amount of cash dividends declared during each quarterly period during such periods:

 

		Prices						Dividends Per Share
		High			Low
2007:
2nd Quarter (through May 7, 2007)		$	25.72		$	23.11		$	—

3rd Quarter			23.33			19.43			0.147
4th Quarter			21.73			19.34			0.147

The Nasdaq and AMEX quotations and the dividends per share have been adjusted for our three-for-two stock split paid on August 28, 2006.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends. Historically, we have paid quarterly cash dividends on our common stock, and our board of directors presently intends to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends. Our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders in the future will depend on our earnings and financial condition, liquidity and capital requirements, the general economic and regulatory climate, our ability to service any equity or debt obligations senior to our common stock, including our outstanding trust preferred securities and accompanying junior subordinated debentures, and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. In order to pay dividends to shareholders, we must receive cash dividends from our bank. As a result, our ability to pay future dividends will depend upon the earnings of the bank, its financial condition and its need for funds.

Moreover, there are a number of federal and state banking policies and regulations that restrict our bank’s ability to pay dividends. In particular, because the bank is a depository institution and its deposits are insured by the FDIC, it may not pay dividends or distribute capital assets if it is in default on any assessment due to the FDIC. Also, our bank is subject to regulations which impose certain minimum capital requirements that affect the amount of cash available for distribution to us. Federal Reserve policy requires us to maintain adequate regulatory capital, and we are expected to serve as a source of financial strength to our bank and to commit resources to support the bank. Finally, the approval of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance is required prior to the bank paying dividends, which are limited to earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock. These policies and regulations may have the effect of reducing or eliminating the amount of dividends that we can declare and pay to our shareholders in the future.

BUSINESS

Renasant Corporation

We are a bank holding company headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi. We own and operate Renasant Bank, a Mississippi banking association with operations in Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee. Renasant Bank owns Renasant Insurance, Inc., a Mississippi corporation with operations in Mississippi. Our bank was originally founded in 1904 as The Peoples Bank & Trust Company. In 1982, we reorganized as a bank holding company. In 2005, we changed our name from The Peoples Holding Company to Renasant Corporation following our acquisition of Renasant Bancshares.

We are engaged in the general banking business and activities closely related to banking, as authorized by the banking laws and regulations of the United States. Substantially all of our business activities are conducted through, and substantially all of our assets and revenues are derived from, our bank. Through Renasant Insurance, we also offer all lines of commercial and personal insurance through major carriers.

Our assets primarily consist of our investment in our bank. At December 31, 2006, our consolidated total assets were approximately $2.6 billion, our total loans were approximately $1.8 billion, our total deposits were approximately $2.1 billion, and our total shareholders’ equity was approximately $252 million.

We have four reportable segments: a Mississippi community bank, a Tennessee community bank, an Alabama community bank and an insurance agency. Financial information about our segments, including information with respect to revenues from external customers, profit or loss and total assets for each segment, is contained in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included with this prospectus. The description of the activities conducted by our bank below applies to the operations of each of our three banking segments.

Our principle executive offices are located at 209 Troy Street, Tupelo, Mississippi 38804. Our telephone number at that address is (662) 680-1001. Our internet address is www.renasant.com.

Renasant Bank

Our bank is a community bank offering a complete range of banking and financial services to individuals and to small to medium-size businesses. These services include checking and savings accounts, business and personal loans, interim construction and residential mortgage loans, student loans, equipment leasing, as well as safe deposit and night depository facilities. Additionally, we offer our customers 24-hour banking services through our internet banking product and our call center, and we are open on Saturdays in many of our markets.

In 2000, our current management implemented a strategic shift in our bank’s focus, with the goal of expanding our bank’s business and operations from a local bank serving primarily rural markets in Mississippi to a regional bank with a focus on growth markets. As part of our expansion, we acquired Renasant Bancshares and Heritage Financial Holding Corporation. In addition to these acquisitions, we also expanded the products and services we had historically provided in an attempt to attract customers in our growth markets both within and outside of Mississippi. Management responsibilities were also realigned to reflect our new regional focus. Our name change, as well as the change of our bank’s name to Renasant Bank, also reflects this strategic shift.

As of April 19, 2007, our bank had 60 banking (including loan production), financial services and mortgage offices located throughout our markets in north and north central Mississippi, west and middle Tennessee, and north and north central Alabama. The map located on the inside front cover of this prospectus provides further detail of our office locations as well as the office locations of Capital, which we propose to acquire as described below.

In Mississippi, our bank has seven branches in Tupelo, three branches in Booneville, two branches each in Amory, Corinth, Pontotoc and West Point and one branch each in Aberdeen, Batesville, Belden, Calhoun City,

Renasant Insurance

Renasant Insurance is a full-service insurance agency offering all lines of commercial and personal insurance through major carriers. At December 31, 2006, Renasant Insurance contributed total revenue of $3.7 million, or 2.88% of our total revenue, and operated three offices in central and northern Mississippi.

Business Strategy

Our vision is to be the financial services provider of choice in each community we serve and to deliver attractive shareholder returns. In order to achieve these objectives, we intend to focus on the following areas:

Emphasize Relationship Banking. We believe that customers want to do business with a community bank. We believe that we are able to compete successfully with larger competitors because we constantly strive to deliver the level of exceptional customer service traditionally offered by a community bank while seeking opportunities to strengthen relationships both with customers and in the communities we serve. While all of our branch banks operate within our single banking subsidiary, we have taken steps to enable these branches to provide the personalized products and customer service that we believe solidifies client relationships and builds customer loyalty. Our personalized approach is most apparent in the organization of our branch banks.

Our branch banks have been organized into community banks using a franchise concept. The franchise approach empowers our community bank presidents to execute their own business plans in order to rapidly

deliver personalized service and products tailored to the local communities in which our bank is located. Specific performance measurement tools are available to assist our community bank presidents in determining the success of their business plan implementation. Some of the ratios used in measuring the success of their business plan include: return on average assets; the number and type of services provided per household; fee income shown as a percent of loans and deposits; the efficiency ratio; loan and deposit growth; net interest margin and spread; the percentage of loans past due in greater than 30, 60 and 90 day categories; and net charge-offs to average loans.

Capitalize on Organic Growth Opportunities. We target both consumers and small and medium-sized businesses in our markets. Due to the recent consolidation of financial institutions in our key growth markets, we believe there is a significant opportunity for us to obtain business from a new segment of commercial and retail customers. Additionally, experienced and talented management and lending personnel are often dislocated as a result of bank mergers, and we believe that our emphasis on community banking makes us an attractive new opportunity for these individuals. We believe that, by attracting such experienced management personnel and loan officers as well as sophisticated banking customers, we will be able to grow successfully both within our key growth markets and in potential new markets into which we might expand.

Grow Through Strategic Acquisitions and Targeted De Novo Branching. As a result of our 2000 strategic shift in our bank’s focus, we have focused on expansion opportunities in markets with favorable growth characteristics and in which we believe we will be able to execute our strategy. Our mergers with Renasant Bancshares and Heritage have supported our goals of expanding into attractive markets. We believe that our proposed merger with Capital is consistent with this growth strategy.

In addition to seeking to capitalize on attractive acquisition opportunities in our key markets, we are also opening de novo branches to fill in our expanded footprint. Since 2005, we have opened full service de novo branches in Oxford, Mississippi, and East Memphis and Collierville, Tennessee, and a loan production office in Brentwood, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville. Our strategic plans call for opening up to six additional branches in our Oxford, Mississippi, and Huntsville and Birmingham, Alabama, markets as well as in our Tennessee markets by the end of 2010. We believe that our de novo efforts will bolster our ability to take advantage of the opportunities for growth that have been created by our Tennessee and Alabama acquisitions (including our pending acquisition of Capital) and to capitalize on organic growth opportunities presented in our markets.

Increase Core Profitability. We have centralized our legal, accounting, investment, loan review, audit and data processing functions. The centralization of these processes enables us to maintain consistent quality of these functions and achieve certain economies of scale so that increases in our expense base should be lower than our proportional increase in assets and revenue as our franchise grows. Also, as we expand our fee-based services throughout our entire market area, including the new areas we enter into through expansion, we believe that we will be able to increase our noninterest income. This should improve our profitability over time.

Commencing in 2004, we conducted a strategic analysis of the operations in our legacy footprint markets aimed at reducing expenses. Based on this analysis, we streamlined the management of many of our Mississippi operations by placing our community bank presidents in charge of the operations of multiple branches and eliminating the position of community bank president at several of our branches. We remain committed to aggressively managing our costs within the framework of our business model.

Maintain Credit Quality. Maintaining strong credit quality is integral to our success. Our process for evaluating loans and determining the appropriate allowance for loan losses is described in more detail below. We believe that our policies and procedures with respect to the approval and monitoring of loans have been established in a manner that limits our exposure to the credit risk that is inherent in our lending activity. Despite our growth, we have consistently maintained strong asset quality. At December 31, 2006, our nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due and other real estate owned, as a percentage of total assets was 0.61%, and our net charge-offs to average loans for 2006 was 0.07%.

Market Areas

Our market areas are located in north and north central Mississippi, west and middle Tennessee and north and north central Alabama. Over the past three years, we have made significant efforts to expand our market area outside of our traditional Mississippi markets and into what we believe are attractive growth markets. In addition, we believe that our acquisition of Capital, discussed in more detail below, illustrates that we are continuing our efforts to expand our franchise into attractive markets. Over the next two to three years, however, we intend to focus on integrating Capital into our operations and expanding through organic growth. Accordingly, we have no current expectations regarding any new acquisitions during this period, although we expect to continue to evaluate attractive acquisition opportunities that are presented to us.

On July 1, 2004, we acquired Renasant Bancshares, a bank holding company headquartered in Germantown, Tennessee, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Renasant Bank of Tennessee. At the time of the acquisition, Renasant Bank of Tennessee had two banking offices in Germantown and Cordova, Tennessee, which are within the Memphis, TN-MS-AR Metropolitan Statistical Area (which we refer to as the Memphis MSA), and a loan production office in Hernando, Mississippi.

We believe that Memphis and Nashville are very attractive growth markets for us. The Nashville and Memphis MSAs are the first and second largest Tennessee metropolitan statistical areas, respectively, according to data compiled by SNL Financial LC, with projected population growth rates from 2006 to 2011 of 10.88% and 6.51%, respectively. We believe that both of these markets offer desirable demographics in terms of our target customers. In addition, Memphis was recognized in the Winter 2006 edition of Southern Business and Development Magazine as one of the top 10 cities in the United States for business and industry headquarters relocation. The Nashville MSA has experienced a higher rate of population growth than the national average with a lower cost of living and lower unemployment rate. In 2007, Expansion Management magazine named the Nashville MSA one of the Hottest Cities for Business Expansion for the third consecutive year. According to SNL Financial, within the Nashville MSA, the Williamson County average annual household income is projected to increase from $122,625 in 2006 to $155,331 in 2011, while the total number of households is projected to increase 21.6% during the same time period.

We expanded into Alabama when we acquired Heritage Financial Holding Corporation, a bank holding company headquartered in Decatur, Alabama, and Heritage Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heritage, on January 1, 2005. At the time of the acquisition, Heritage Bank operated eight banking offices in Decatur, Huntsville and Birmingham, Alabama.

We believe that the three Alabama markets in which we operate also present enticing growth opportunities. Birmingham enjoyed several high-profile job announcements in the fourth quarter of 2006 and was ranked by the Gold Guide (published by the National Policy Research Council) as the eighth best location in the nation for entrepreneurs. It was also listed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as one of the Top 10 largest Southeastern technology centers. Huntsville has the highest concentration of Inc. Magazine’s 500 fastest-growing private companies and was rated the number one mid-market in the South in the June 2005 edition of Southern Business & Development Magazine. Decatur is home to 20 Fortune 500 companies, and Morgan County, in which Decatur is located, had the most announced capital investment in the state in 2004, according to the Morgan County Economic Development Association. Finally, both Huntsville and Decatur expect to receive a substantial influx of new residents over the next few years as a result of the Department of Defense’s Base Realignment and Closure assignments.

While we have expanded into Tennessee and Alabama, we believe that the demographics and prospects in a number of our Mississippi markets also present attractive opportunities for growth. On February 27, 2007, Toyota announced plans to locate a vehicle assembly plant in the Tupelo area. Site preparation has commenced, and construction of the plant is expected to begin in the summer of 2007, with manufacturing operations expected to commence in 2010. We believe that the construction and operation of this Toyota plant enhances the

future growth prospects of the Tupelo micropolitan area, and may help to insulate the Tupelo market from the full effect of any downturns in the Mississippi or national economy. We also believe the new Toyota plant will have a positive effect on the local construction industry and on the general employment outlook in the area. Even prior to the announcement of the new Toyota plant, Tupelo-Lee County ranked as the 2nd most active micropolitan area in the United States, according to Site Selection magazine. DeSoto County, another key growth market in Mississippi, is the fastest growing county in the state and is the 29th fastest growing county in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In addition, according to SNL Financial, Desoto County is projected to grow 26.5% from 2006 until 2011 and is expected to see a 28.1% growth rate in total households during this same period. Lafayette County, where the City of Oxford is located, has a projected population growth rate from 2006 to 2011 of 8.23%, according to SNL Financial. In addition, the average home value in Oxford was calculated to be $226,404 according to a 2006 national Coldwell Banker real estate study.

Recent Developments

On February 5, 2007, we announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which we will acquire Capital, a bank holding company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, and the parent of Capital Bank, a Tennessee banking corporation. Based on our market close of $27.92 on February 2, 2007, the trading day immediately prior to the announcement of our execution of the definitive merger agreement with Capital, the aggregate transaction value, including the dilutive impact of Capital’s options, is approximately $134.9 million.

At December 31, 2006, Capital operated seven full-service banking offices in the Nashville MSA, five branches in Davidson County and one branch in both Sumner and Williamson Counties. Capital had total assets of $564.4 million, total deposits of $465.0 million and total shareholders’ equity of $35.0 million at December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006, Capital’s basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.18 and $1.14, respectively. This marks an increase of 27% and 30%, respectively, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share for 2005. Net income for 2006 was $4.2 million, up 30% from 2005. Net loans and deposits grew 19% and 23%, respectively, in 2006.

As consideration for their shares of Capital common stock, each Capital shareholder (other than Capital shareholders who have exercised and maintained their dissenter’s rights) may elect to receive for each share of Capital common stock they hold either (1) $38.00 in cash, (2) 1.2306 shares, which we refer to as the “exchange ratio,” of our common stock or (3) a combination of 40% cash, in the amount listed above, and 60% common stock, at the exchange ratio listed above. Shareholders’ elections are subject to an overall limitation that the aggregate stock consideration shall be no more than 65% and no less than 60% of the total merger consideration received by Capital shareholders. The merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization with respect to the portion of the merger consideration received as shares of our common stock. Outstanding options to purchase Capital common stock granted under Capital’s equity plans will be automatically converted into options to purchase our common stock, except that (1) the per share exercise price of such options will be adjusted by dividing such exercise price by the exchange ratio and (2) the number of shares subject to such options will be adjusted by multiplying such number of shares by the exchange ratio. In the event that both the market value of our common stock and the value of the NASDAQ Bank Index decline by amounts specified in the merger agreement as of the date of determination, Capital may terminate the merger agreement, provided, however, that we may adjust the exchange ratio used in the merger agreement to account for the decline in the value of our stock price and proceed with the merger.

Three directors from Capital, Albert J. Dale, III, R. Rick Hart and Michael D. Shmerling, will join our board of directors. R. Rick Hart, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Capital, and John W. Gregory, Jr., Chief Operating Officer of Capital, will join our executive management team, with Mr. Hart overseeing our operations in our middle Tennessee markets.

Consummation of the merger is subject to various conditions, including (1) requisite approval of the merger from the holders of Capital common stock, (2) requisite approval of the merger by our shareholders to the extent

required by applicable law and the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market, (3) receipt of regulatory approvals and (4) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the merger. In addition, each party’s obligation to consummate the merger is subject to certain other conditions, including (1) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party, (2) compliance by the other party with its covenants in all material respects, (3) the delivery of an opinion from our counsel relating to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the merger, (4) the redemption of the rights issued to Capital shareholders under Capital’s shareholder rights plan and (5) the approval for listing on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, subject to notice of issuance, of our common stock to be issued to holders of Capital common stock.

The acquisition is expected to close early in the third quarter of 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Capital Bank is expected to merge with and into our bank immediately after the merger of Capital with and into us.

Our completion of the Capital acquisition is not contingent on the success of this offering. Additionally, the completion of the Capital acquisition is not certain, and we may or may not be able to consummate the transaction.

The summary of selected provisions of the merger agreement above is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the merger agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to one of the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. We urge you to read the merger agreement for a more complete description of the merger.

Lending Activities

(Dollar amounts in this section in thousands)

General. Income generated by our lending activities, in the form of both interest income and loan-related fees, comprises a substantial portion of our revenue, accounting for approximately 70.32%, 69.06% and 62.12% of our total interest income and noninterest income in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Our lending philosophy is to minimize credit losses by following strict credit approval standards, diversifying our loan portfolio and conducting ongoing review and management of the loan portfolio.

Description of Loans. The following is a description of the principal types of loans in our loan portfolio, the relative risk of each type of loan and the steps we take to reduce credit risk. We have omitted a discussion of lease financing, as it comprises only 0.23% of our portfolio at December 31, 2006.

Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Loans. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans (referred to as “commercial loans”), which accounted for approximately 12.96% of our total loans at December 31, 2006, are customarily granted to established local business customers in our market area on a fully collateralized basis to meet their credit needs. Many of these loans have terms allowing the loan to be extended for periods of between one and five years. Loans are usually structured either to fully amortize over the term of the loan or to balloon after the third year or fifth year of the loan, typically with an amortization period not to exceed 10 years. The terms and loan structure are dependent on the collateral and strength of the borrower. The loan-to-value ratios generally do not exceed 50% to 80%. The risks of these types of loans depend on the general business conditions of the local economy and the local business borrower’s ability to sell its products and services in order to generate sufficient operating revenue to repay us under the agreed upon terms and conditions.

Commercial lending generally involves greater credit risk than residential real estate or installment loans to individuals and generally different risks from those associated with commercial real estate lending or construction loans. Although commercial loans may be collateralized by equipment or other business assets, the liquidation of collateral in the event of a borrower default may represent an insufficient source of repayment because equipment and other business assets may, among other things, be obsolete or of limited use. Accordingly, the repayment of a commercial loan depends primarily on the creditworthiness and projected cash flow of the borrower (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is considered a secondary source of repayment. To manage these risks, our bank’s policy is to secure its commercial loans with both the assets of the borrowing business and any other additional collateral and guarantees that may be available. In addition, we actively monitor certain financial measures of the borrower, including advance rate, cash flow, collateral value and other appropriate credit factors.

Real Estate—Commercial Mortgage. Our Real Estate—Commercial Mortgage loans (referred to as “commercial real estate loans”) represented approximately 34.45% of our total loans at December 31, 2006. We offer commercial real estate loans to developers of both commercial and residential properties. In addition, loans in which the owner develops a property with the intention of occupying it are also represented in commercial real estate. Because payments on these loans are often dependent on the successful development, operation and management of the properties, repayment of these loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy as a whole, in addition to the borrower’s ability to generate sufficient operating revenue to repay us. If our estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, we may not be able to obtain full repayment on the loan in the event of default and foreclosure. We seek to minimize risks by limiting the maximum loan-to-value ratio and by strictly scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower, the quality of the collateral and the management of the property securing the loan. We also actively monitor such financial measures as advance rate, cash flow, collateral value and other appropriate credit factors. We generally obtain loan guarantees from financially capable parties to the transaction based on a review of personal financial statements.

Real Estate—1-4 Family Mortgage. We are active in the Real Estate—1-4 Family Mortgage area (referred to as “residential real estate loans”), with approximately 34.82% of our total loans at December 31, 2006 being

residential real estate loans. We offer both first and second mortgages on residential real estate as well as home equity lines of credit and term loans secured by first and second mortgages on the residences of borrowers for purchases, refinances, home improvements, education and other personal expenditures. Both fixed and variable rate loans are offered with competitive terms and fees. Originations of residential real estate loans are generated through either retail efforts in our branches or wholesale marketing, which involves obtaining mortgage referrals from third-party mortgage brokers. We attempt to minimize the risk associated with residential real estate loans by strictly scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower; typically, we also limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio.

We retain loans for our portfolio when the bank has sufficient liquidity to fund the needs of established customers and when rates are favorable to retain the loans. We also originate residential real estate loans with the intention of selling them in the secondary market to third party private investors. These loans are collateralized by one-to-four family residential real estate and are sold with servicing rights released. Mortgage loan originations to be sold are locked in at a contractual rate with third party private investors, and we are obligated to sell the mortgages to such investors only if the mortgages are closed and funded. The risk we assume is conditioned upon loan underwriting and market conditions in the national mortgage market.

We also offer home equity loans or lines of credit as an option to borrowers who elect to utilize the accumulated equity in their homes by borrowing money through either a first or second lien home equity loan or line of credit. We limit our exposure to second lien home equity loans or lines of credit, which inherently carry a higher risk of loss upon default, by limiting these types of loans to borrowers with high credit scores.

Real Estate—Construction. Our Real Estate—Construction loans (referred to as “construction loans”) represented approximately 13.28% of our total loans at December 31, 2006. Our construction loan portfolio consists of single family residential properties, multi-family properties and commercial projects. Maturities for construction loans generally range from 6 to 12 months for residential property and from 12 to 24 months for non-residential and multi-family properties. Construction lending entails significant additional risks compared to residential mortgage or commercial real estate lending. A significant additional risk is that loan funds are advanced upon the security of the property under construction, which is of uncertain value prior to the completion of construction. Thus, it is more difficult to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and to calculate related loan-to-value ratios. To minimize the risks associated with construction lending, we limit loan-to-value ratios to 85% of when-completed appraised values for owner-occupied and investor-owned residential or commercial properties. We believe that these loan-to-value ratios will be sufficient to compensate for fluctuations in the real estate market and thus minimize the risk of loss.

Installment Loans to Individuals. Installment Loans to Individuals (referred to as “consumer loans”), which represented approximately 4.26% of our total loans at December 31, 2006, are granted to individuals for the purchase of personal goods. These loans are generally granted for periods ranging between one and five years at fixed rates of interest 1% to 5% above the prime interest rate quoted in The Wall Street Journal. Loss or decline of income by the borrower due to unplanned occurrences may represent risk of default to us. In the event of default, a shortfall in the value of the collateral may pose a loss to us in this loan category. Before granting a consumer loan, we assess the applicant’s credit history and ability to meet existing and proposed debt obligations. Although the applicant’s creditworthiness is the primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral, if any, to the proposed loan amount. We obtain a lien against the item securing the loan and hold title until the loan is repaid in full.

Credit Quality. Inherent in any lending activity is credit risk, that is, the risk of loss should a borrower default. Credit risk is monitored and managed by our loan committees, our loss management committee and our loan review staff. Credit quality and policies are major concerns of these committees. We try to maintain diversification within our loan portfolio in order to minimize the effect of economic conditions within a particular industry.

Nonperforming Loans. Nonperforming loans are those on which the accrual of interest has stopped or loans which are contractually past due 90 days but on which interest continues to accrue. Generally, the accrual of income is discontinued when the full collection of principal or interest is in doubt or when the payment of principal or interest has been contractually 90 days past due, unless the obligation is both well secured and in the process of collection. Management, the loss management committee and our loan review staff closely monitor loans that are considered to be nonperforming. Restructured loans are those for which concessions have been granted to the borrower due to a deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition. Such concessions may include reduction in interest rates or deferral of interest or principal payments.

The following table shows the principal amounts of nonperforming and restructured loans at the periods indicated:

 

		December 31,
		2006			2005			2004			2003			2002
Nonperforming loans:
Nonaccruing		$	7,821		$	3,984		$	6,443		$	4,624		$	1,417
Accruing loans past due 90 days or more			3,467			2,306			2,228			2,683			2,191
Total nonperforming loans			11,288			6,290			8,671			7,307			3,608
Restructured loans			768			116			760			384			—
Total nonperforming and restructured loans		$	12,056		$	6,406		$	9,431		$	7,691		$	3,608
Interest income foregone		$	9		$	10		$	265		$	6			—

We believe that all loans where information exists about possible credit problems that would cause us to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with the current repayment terms of the loan have been reflected in the table above.

The increase in nonperforming loans from 2005 to 2006 is primarily attributable to four loans totaling $8,335. Three of these loans were placed on nonaccrual during the year while the other was 90 days past due as of December 31, 2006. Although our nonperforming loans increased by $4,998, two of the four loans identified above did not result in a significant increase to the provision for loan losses because of our well-secured collateral position on these loans. Further, management has evaluated these loans and other loans classified as non-performing and concluded that all non-performing loans have been adequately reserved for in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2006.

At December 31, 2006, there were no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than loans in categories discussed above.

At December 31, 2006, the recorded investment in loans identified as impaired totaled approximately $8,589. The allowance for loan losses related to these loans was approximately $2,912. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during the year ended December 31, 2006 was $6,645.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that management believes is adequate to absorb all probable credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is affected by: (1) loan charge-offs, which decrease the allowance; (2) recoveries on loans previously charged-off, which increase the allowance; and (3) the provision for possible loan losses charged to income, which increases the allowance. In determining the provision for possible loan losses, it is necessary for management to monitor fluctuations in the allowance resulting from actual charge-offs and recoveries, and to periodically review the size and composition of the loan portfolio in light of current and anticipated economic conditions in an effort to evaluate portfolio risks. The amount of the provision is based on management’s judgment of those risks. The

allowance for loan losses was $19,534, $18,363 and $14,403 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. If actual losses exceed the amount of the allowance for loan losses, our earnings could be adversely affected.

The table below reflects the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated:

The following table sets forth the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding at year end:

 

		As of December 31,
		2006			2005			2004			2003			2002
Allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding at year end		1.07	%		1.12	%		1.26	%		1.53	%		1.42	%

In 2006, we maintained our credit quality while the loan portfolio grew $180,539 compared to 2005, and this resulted in the reduction of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans from 2005 to 2006. The reduction of the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans from 2004 to 2005 was primarily a result of the application of SOP 03-3 to certain loans acquired in connection with the Heritage acquisition. These loans, which had an outstanding balance of $18,739 at the date of acquisition, were reduced to $13,012, which we believe reflects the estimated future cash flows, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each respective loan at the date of acquisition. We continually monitor these loans as part of our normal credit review and monitoring procedures for changes in the estimated future cash flows. We increased the provision for loan losses by $79 through a charge to the income statement as one of these loans with a carrying value of $191 deteriorated further in 2006. Other than this one loan, we believe that as of December 31, 2006 the credit quality of the loans accounted for under SOP 03-3 has not deteriorated further since the date of acquisition.

Determination of Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established after input from management, loan review and the loss management committee. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses. Each loan that we fund is assigned a grade by lending personnel based on the scoring of these loans. Loan grades range from 1 to 9, with 1 being loans with the least credit risk. Allowance factors

established by management are applied to each grade to determine the amount needed in the allowance for loan losses. The allowance factors are established based on our loss experience, adjusted for trends and expectations about losses inherent in our existing portfolios, as well as regulatory guidelines for criticized loans. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated collectively for impairment. For impaired loans, a specific reserve is established to adjust the carrying value of the loan to its estimated net realizable value. Other considerations in establishing the allowance for loan losses include economic conditions reflected within industry segments, the unemployment rate in our markets, loan segmentation, the growth in the size of individual loans we make and historical losses that are inherent in the loan portfolio. If the allowance is deemed inadequate, management provides additional reserves through the provision for loan losses.

Please refer to Note A, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Renasant included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information regarding our allowance for loan losses.

The following table quantifies the amount of the specific reserves component of the allowance for loan losses and the amount of the allowance determined by applying allowance factors to graded loans at the end of each of the years presented:

 

		As of December 31,
		2006			2005			2004			2003			2002
Specific reserves		$	4,377		$	3,985		$	2,786		$	2,630		$	1,806

Total		$	19,534		$	18,363		$	14,403		$	13,232		$	12,203

Loan review personnel monitor the grades assigned to loans through periodic examination. The loss management committee monitors loans that are past due or those that have been downgraded due to a decline in the collateral value or cash flow of the debtor and adjusts the loan credit grade accordingly. This information is used to assist management in monitoring the credit quality.

Investment Activities

The securities portfolio is used to provide a source for meeting liquidity needs and to supply securities to be used in collateralizing public funds. Income from our investments is the second largest source of our interest income. The following table shows the carrying value of our securities portfolio by investment type, and the percentage of such investment type relative to the entire securities portfolio, as of the dates indicated:

No material portion of our deposits has been obtained from a single or small group of customers, and the loss of any single customer’s deposits or a small group of customer’s deposits would not have a materially adverse effect on our business. The deposits held by our bank have been primarily generated within their respective market areas. Neither we nor our bank have any foreign activities.

Other Products and Services

Through the Financial Services division of our bank, we offer a wide variety of fiduciary services and administer (as trustee or in other fiduciary or representative capacities) qualified retirement plans, profit sharing and other employee benefit plans, personal trusts and estates. In addition, the Financial Services division offers fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds and other investment services through a third party broker-dealer. Fixed annuities consist of a line of twelve products. We use six insurance carriers, all of which have an A. M. Best rating of an “A” or better. The mutual funds we offer originate primarily from five fund families.

Competition

Vigorous competition exists in all major product and geographic areas in which we conduct banking business. We compete through our bank with state and national banks in all of our service areas, as well as savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mortgage companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms and investment companies for available loans and depository accounts. All of these numerous institutions compete in the delivery of services and products through availability, quality and pricing, and many of our competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do, including higher total assets and capitalization, greater access to capital markets and a broader offering of financial services.

For 2006, we maintained approximately 16% of the deposit market share in our Mississippi area, approximately 1% in our Tennessee area and less than 1% in our Alabama area. The following table shows our deposit share in the counties that we consider our key growth markets:

Our major competitor in the Birmingham and Huntsville/Madison markets is Regions Bank, which maintained approximately 33% and 34% of the deposit market share, respectively, in those two markets as of June 30, 2006 after giving effect to divestitures required in connection with its merger with AmSouth Bank. We compete with Regions Bank for both loans and deposits. First Tennessee Bank has a significant market share in the Memphis market. However, because of our footprint and our current lines of business in the Memphis market, our business does not materially overlap with that of First Tennessee Bank in the Memphis market.

In addition to the specific markets discussed above, Regions Bank and First Tennessee Bank compete with us in our other markets. Other competitors in these areas include BancorpSouth, Cadence Bank, Compass Bank, Colonial Bank, Merchants and Farmers Bank (primarily in Mississippi) and Trustmark National Bank. In addition, there are local community banks in our service areas that compete with us on an individual market basis.

Please refer to “Risk Factors” on page 14 for a discussion of our risks related to competition.

Sources and Availability of Funds

The funds essential to our, and our bank’s, business consist primarily of funds derived from customer deposits, federal funds purchased, Federal Home Loan Bank advances and borrowings from correspondent banks by our bank. The availability of such funds is primarily dependent upon the economic policies of the federal government, the economy in general and the general credit market for loans.

Personnel

As of April 19, 2007, we employed 861 people at all of our subsidiaries on a full-time equivalent basis. Of this total, our bank accounted for 826 employees, and Renasant Insurance employed 35 individuals. Renasant has no additional employees; however, as of April 19, 2007, 13 employees of our bank also serve as our officers in addition to their positions with our bank.

UNDERWRITING

We have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters named below with respect to the common stock to be offered in this offering. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase from us the number of shares of common stock set forth opposite its name in the following table.

 

Name of Underwriter		Number of Shares
Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
Stephens Inc.
FTN Midwest Securities Corp
Total:

The underwriters’ obligations are several, which means that each underwriter is required to purchase a specific number of shares of common stock, but it is not responsible for the commitment of any other underwriter. The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters’ several obligations to purchase shares of our common stock depend on the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, including:

 

•

the representations and warranties made by us to the underwriters are true;

 

•

there is no material adverse change in the financial markets;

 

•

we deliver customary closing documents to the underwriters; and

 

•

if an underwriter defaults, purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.

The underwriters are committed to purchase and pay for all shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus, if any such shares are taken. However, the underwriters are not obligated to take or pay for the shares of our common stock covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option described below, unless and until this option is exercised.

Our common stock is currently quoted and traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “RNST.”

Over-Allotment Option

We have granted the underwriters an option, exercisable no later than 30 days after the date of the underwriting agreement, to purchase up to an aggregate of 360,000 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. We will be obligated to sell these shares of common stock to the underwriters to the extent the over-allotment option is exercised. The underwriters may exercise this option only to cover over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus. If any shares are purchased with this option, the underwriters will purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as shown in the table above. If any additional shares are purchased, the underwriters will offer the additional shares on the same terms as that on which the shares are being offered.

Commissions and Expenses

The underwriters propose to offer the common stock directly to the public at the offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at the public offering price less a concession not in excess of $             per share. The underwriters may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

$             per share on sales to other brokers and dealers. After the public offering of the common stock, the underwriters may change the offering price and other selling terms.

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions that we will pay to the underwriters and the proceeds we will receive before expenses. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares.

 

		Per Share			Total Without Over- Allotment Exercise			Total With Over- Allotment Exercise
Public offering price		$			$			$
Underwriting discount payable by us		$			$			$
Proceeds before expenses		$			$			$

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, exclusive of underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $400,000, and are payable by us. These expenses include legal fees, travel expenses and other miscellaneous expenses.

Lock-Up Agreements

We, and each of our directors and executive officers and certain of our current or prospective shareholders, have agreed, for a period of 90 days after the date of the underwriting agreement, not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for our common stock, or to enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., on behalf of the underwriters, subject to certain specified exceptions. These restrictions expressly preclude us, and our executive officers and directors, from engaging in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement that is designed to, or which reasonably could be expected to, lead to or result in a sale, disposition or transfer, in whole or in part, of any of the economic consequences of ownership of our common stock, whether such transaction would be settled by delivery of common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise.

The 90-day restricted period described above is subject to extension under limited circumstances. In the event either (1) during the period that begins on the date that is 15 calendar days plus three business days before the last day of the 90-day restricted period and ends on the last day of the 90-day restricted period, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs; or (2) prior to the expiration of the 90-day restricted period, we announce we will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the 90-day restricted period, then the restricted period will continue to apply until the expiration of the date that is 15 calendar days plus three business days after the date on which the earnings release is issued or the material news or material event related to us occurs.

Indemnity

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and persons who control the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and to contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.

Stabilization

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids.

 

•

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase common stock so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while the offering is in progress.

•

Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of common stock in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase. This creates a syndicate short position that may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares of common stock over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any short position by exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

 

•

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared with the price at which they may purchase common stock through exercise of the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more common stock than could be covered by exercise of the over-allotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

•

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common stock originally sold by that syndicate member is purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be effected on The NASDAQ Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, the underwriters and any selling group members who are qualified market makers on The NASDAQ Global Select Market may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Securities Act. Rule 103 permits passive market making activity by the participants in our common stock offering. Passive market making may occur before the pricing of our offering, and before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Each passive market maker must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as a passive market maker. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for the security. If all independent bids are lowered below the bid of the passive market maker, however, the bid must then be lowered when purchase limits are exceeded. Net purchases by a passive market maker on each day are limited to a specified percentage of the passive market maker’s average daily trading volume in the common stock during a specified period and must be discontinued when that limit is reached. The underwriters and other dealers are not required to engage in passive market making and may end passive market making activities at any time.

Our Relationship with the Underwriters

The common stock is being offered by the underwriters, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of certain legal matters by counsel for the underwriters and other

REPORT ON MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Renasant Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for the preparation, integrity and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. The consolidated financial statements and notes included in this annual report have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and necessarily include some amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments.

We, as management of the Company, are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting that is designed to produce reliable financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

The system of internal control over financial reporting as it relates to the financial statements is evaluated for effectiveness by management and tested for reliability through a program of internal audits. Actions are taken to correct potential deficiencies as they are identified. Any system of internal control, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility that a control can be circumvented or overridden, and misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, because of changes in conditions, internal control effectiveness may vary over time. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control will provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation.

Management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an assessment of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2006, its system of internal control over financial reporting is effective and meets the criteria of the “Internal Control—Integrated Framework”. Horne LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which is included in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Renasant Corporation

Tupelo, Mississippi

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Renasant Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. We also have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that Renasant Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, an opinion on management’s assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Renasant Corporation (formerly The Peoples Holding Company)

Tupelo, Mississippi

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of Renasant Corporation and subsidiaries (formerly The Peoples Holding Company) (Company) for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A—Significant Accounting Policies

(In Thousands Except Per Share Data)

Nature of Operations: Renasant Corporation (formerly known as The Peoples Holding Company and referred to herein as the “Company”), a Mississippi corporation, owns and operates Renasant Bank (formerly known as The Peoples Bank & Trust Company), a Mississippi-chartered bank with operations in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama, and Renasant Insurance, Inc. (formerly known as The Peoples Insurance Agency, Inc.), a Mississippi corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renasant Bank with operations in Mississippi. The Company offers a diversified range of financial and insurance services to its retail and commercial customers through its full service offices located throughout north and north central Mississippi, southwest and central Tennessee and north Alabama.

On July 24, 2006, the Company announced a three-for-two stock split in the form of a stock dividend payable on August 28, 2006 to shareholders of record as of August 11, 2006. As a result of the stock split, the Company issued 5,744,010 shares of its common stock. Share and per share amounts for prior periods included herein have been restated to reflect the three-for-two stock split.

On December 16, 2004, the Company announced that the board of directors of The Peoples Bank & Trust Company approved a plan to change the name of “The Peoples Bank & Trust Company” to “Renasant Bank” and the name of “Renasant Bank” to “Renasant Bank of Tennessee”. The name changes were effective on February 1, 2005. As such, The Peoples Bank & Trust Company is referred to as Renasant Bank and Renasant Bank is referred to as Renasant Bank of Tennessee throughout the remainder of the financial statements. On March 31, 2005, Renasant Bank of Tennessee, a Tennessee-chartered bank and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged into Renasant Bank, and Renasant Bank survived the merger. On December 16, 2004, the board of directors of the Company approved a plan to change the name of the Company from “The Peoples Holding Company” to “Renasant Corporation”. The change of the Company’s name was approved by the shareholders at the annual meeting held on April 19, 2005 and was effective on the same date.

At the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 19, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $5.00 per share, from 15,000,000 shares to 75,000,000 shares. At the meeting, the Company’s shareholders also approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to authorize 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share. The Company’s board of directors will determine, in its sole discretion, the rights, preferences and other terms of the shares of preferred stock at the time of the issuance of such shares. As a result of these actions, the Company now has a total of 80,000,000 shares of stock authorized, of which 75,000,000 shares are common stock and 5,000,000 shares are preferred stock.

On July 1, 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of Renasant Bancshares, Inc. (“Renasant Bancshares”). On January 1, 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of Heritage Financial Holding Corporation (“Heritage”). The financial condition and results of operations for Renasant and Heritage are included in the Company’s financial statements since the respective dates of each acquisition.

Consolidation: Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements” (“ARB 51”), requires a company’s consolidated financial statements to include subsidiaries in which the company has a controlling financial interest. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include accounts of Renasant Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Renasant Insurance, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renasant Bank. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

The voting interest approach defined in ARB 51 is not applicable in identifying controlling financial interests in entities that are not controllable through voting interests or in which the equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks. In such instances, Interpretation No. 46 Revised, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), indicates when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. In general, a variable interest entity (“VIE”) is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either does not have equity investors with voting rights or has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. FIN 46R requires a VIE to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or entitles it to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a VIE is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of any such entity.

Business Combinations: Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method of accounting that reflects the net assets of the companies recorded at their fair value at the date of acquisition. The financial condition and results of operations of entities acquired using the purchase method are included in the Company’s financial statements from the date the acquisition is completed.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Securities: Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when purchased if management has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. The Company has no held to maturity securities. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale. Presently, the Company has no intention of establishing a trading classification. Available for sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders’ equity.

The amortized cost of securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income from securities. Dividend income is also included in interest income from securities. Realized gains and losses, as well as declines in value judged to be other than temporary, are included in net securities gains (losses). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Management periodically reviews the security portfolio for impairment based upon a number of factors, including but not limited to, length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the likelihood of the security’s ability to recover any decline in its fair value, financial condition of the underlying issuer, ability of the issuer to meet contractual obligations and ability to retain the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for recovery in fair value. Impairments on securities are recognized when management, based on its analysis, deems the impairment to be other-than-temporary. Disclosures about unrealized losses in our securities portfolio that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments are provided in Note B, “Securities”.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase: Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amounts at which the securities

were sold. Securities, generally U.S. government and federal agency securities, pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements cannot be sold or repledged by the secured party.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans held for sale represented residential mortgage loans held for sale. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value and are classified separately on the balance sheet. Loans to be sold are locked in at the contractual rate upon closing, thereby eliminating any interest rate risk for the Company. Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met. These gains and losses are classified under the caption “Gains on sales of mortgage loans” on the statements of income.

Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Renasant Bank defers certain nonrefundable loan origination fees as well as the direct costs of originating or acquiring loans.

The deferred fees and costs are then amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the note for all loans with payment schedules. Those loans with no payment schedule are amortized using the interest method. The amortization of these deferred fees is presented as an adjustment to the yield on loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.

Generally, the accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer and other retail loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued for the current year, but not collected, for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off, is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Certain loans acquired in the Heritage acquisition are accounted for in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans and Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer” (“SOP 03-3”). Increases in expected cash flows to be collected on these loans are recognized as an adjustment of the loan’s yield over its remaining life, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as an impairment.

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to be probable through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Before funds are advanced on all consumer and certain commercial loans above certain dollar thresholds, loans are reviewed and scored by our underwriters. Lending personnel classify all loans into risk grades, which are assigned based on the scoring of the loans that are funded. These grades are continuously updated and used in the calculation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Loan grades range between 1 and 9, with 1 being loans with the least credit risk. Loan review personnel monitor the grades assigned to loans through periodic examination. Allowance factors established by management are multiplied by loan balances for each grade to determine the amount needed in the allowance for loan losses. The allowance factors are established based on the Company’s historical loss experience, adjusted for trends and expectations about losses inherent in the

Company’s existing portfolios. For impaired loans, a specific reserve is established to adjust the carrying value of the loan to its estimated net realizable value.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and construction loans above a minimum dollar amount threshold by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan’s principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. Once the recorded balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest income, to the extent any interest has been foregone, and then they are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously charged-off. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated collectively for impairment.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated credit losses for specifically identified loans as well as probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management and the internal loan review staff evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses calculation quarterly. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated based on a continuing assessment of problem loans, the types of loans, historical loss experience, new lending products, emerging credit trends, changes in the size and character of loan categories and other factors, including its risk rating system, regulatory guidance and economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed primarily by use of the straight-line method for furniture, fixtures, equipment and premises. The annual provisions for depreciation and amortization have been computed primarily using estimated lives of forty years for premises, seven years for furniture and equipment and three to five years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Other Real Estate: Other real estate of $4,579 and $4,299 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, is included in other assets and consists of properties acquired through a foreclosure proceeding or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value based on appraised value less estimated selling costs. Losses arising from the acquisition of properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Reductions in the carrying value subsequent to acquisition are charged to earnings and are included in “Other” in the Noninterest expense section on the statements of income.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill impairment testing is performed annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. Goodwill is assigned to the Company’s reporting segments. Fair values of reporting segments are determined using either discounted cash flow analyses based on internal financial forecasts or, if available, market-based valuation multiples for comparable businesses. No impairment was identified as a result of the testing performed during 2006, 2005 or 2004. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that also lack physical substance but can be distinguished from goodwill because of contractual or other legal rights. Intangibles with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance: Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) is an institutionally-priced insurance product that is specifically designed for purchase by insured depository institutions. BOLI is a life insurance

policy purchased by Renasant Bank on certain employees, with Renasant Bank being listed as the primary beneficiary. The carrying value of BOLI is recorded at the cash surrender value of the policies, net of any applicable surrender charges. Changes in the value of the cash surrender value of the policies are reflected under the caption “BOLI income” on the statements of income.

Insurance Agency Revenues: The Company’s insurance agency is a full-service insurance agency offering all lines of commercial and personal insurance through major third-party insurance carriers. Commissions and fees are recognized when earned based on contractual terms and condition of insurance policies with the insurance carriers. Contingency fee income paid by the insurance carriers is recognized upon receipt.

Trust and Financial Services Revenues: The Company offers trust services as well as various alternative investment products, including annuities and mutual funds. Trust revenues are recognized on the accrual basis in accordance with the contractual terms of the trust. Commissions and fees from the sale of annuities and mutual funds are recognized when earned based on contractual terms with the third-party broker dealer.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Renasant Bank provides for income taxes on a separate-return basis and remits to the Company amounts determined to be currently payable.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities: The Company enters into mortgage loan commitments with its customers. Under the mortgage loan commitments, interest rates for a mortgage loan may be locked into for up to thirty days with the customer. Once a mortgage loan commitment is entered into with a customer, the Company enters into a sales agreement with an investor in the secondary market to sell such loan on a “best efforts” basis. As such, the Company does not incur risk if the mortgage loan commitment in the pipeline fails to close. Mortgage loan commitments are derivatives; however, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended (“Statement 133”). Accordingly, the mortgage loan commitments are recorded at fair value, and changes are recorded in earnings. The fair value of the mortgage loan commitments are based on readily available fair values, obtained in the open market from mortgage investors. These fair values reflect the values of mortgage loans having similar terms and characteristics to the mortgage loan commitments entered into by the Company. Gains and losses arising from the valuation of the mortgage loan commitments are reflected under the caption “Gains on sales of mortgage loans” on the statements of income.

In May 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $100,000 whereby it will receive a fixed rate of interest and pay a variable rate based on the Prime rate. The effective date of the swap was May 11, 2006 and the maturity date of the swap is May 11, 2009. The interest rate swap is a designated cash flow hedge designed to convert the variable interest rate on $100,000 of loans to a fixed rate. The swap is considered to be effective and the assessment of the hedging relationship is evaluated under the hypothetical derivative method. At December 31, 2006, the swap had a fair value of $455 which has been recorded in “Other Assets”. The Company accounts for the swap in accordance with Statement 133.

Treasury Stock: The Company has an active repurchase plan for the acquisition of its common stock. Treasury stock is recorded at cost. Shares held in treasury are not retired.

Stock-Based Compensation: In 2002, the Company adopted the fair value method of recording stock options under FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“Statement 123”). Beginning in

January, 2006, the Company applied the revised procedures set forth in FASB’s revision to Statement 123, “Share-Based Payment” (“Statement 123R”). The adoption of Statement 123R did not materially impact the Company. Compensation expense for option awards is determined based on the estimated fair value of the award at the date of grant. Further, compensation expense is based on an estimate of the number of awards expected to vest and is recognized over the award’s vesting period. The Company did not estimate any forfeitures for 2006, due to the low historical forfeiture rate. Expense associated with the Company’s stock based compensation is included under the caption “Salaries and employee benefits” on the statements of income. See Note M, “Employee Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plans”, for further details regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Earnings Per Common Share: Earnings per common share are obtained by dividing net income available to common shareholders by weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock. Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share takes into consideration the dilutive effect of outstanding unexercised stock option awards and warrants assuming the awards were exercised into common shares based on the treasury stock method using the average market price. If the option exercise price exceeded the fair value of the stock, the effect would be an anti-dilutive effect on EPS and, consequently, those shares would not have been included in the stock awards adjustment. See Note S, “Net Income Per Common Share”, for the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations. Prior period share and per share data have been restated to reflect a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a share dividend on August 28, 2006.

Sale of Merchant Card Servicing Business: On June 1, 2004, we sold our interest in and rights to future revenue on credit card merchant agreements involving point-of-sale based credit card, debit card and other card-based transaction processing services, electronic payment and settlement services to Nova Information Systems, Inc. (“Nova”). The sale involved approximately 1,000 credit card merchant processing accounts along with an insignificant amount of hardware, consisting of approximately 150 credit card terminals and printers. In connection with the sale, Nova assumed financial liability for merchant transactions from the date of the sale. We no longer receive merchant discount revenue; instead, we receive referral fees from Nova. Revenue from merchant card servicing and referral fees was $9, $8 and $672 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In connection with the sale of the merchant card servicing business, we recognized a $1,000 gain in 2004. This gain and revenue from merchant card servicing is included under the caption “Other” in the noninterest income section on the statements of income.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards: In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“Statement 154”). Statement 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. This statement requires retrospective application to prior period financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the period-specific or cumulative effects of the change. Statement 154 was effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statement

recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt FIN 48 in the first quarter of 2007 and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on shareholders’ equity or results of operations. This assessment is preliminary and may change as management finalizes its analysis.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An Amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132R” (“Statement 158”). Statement 158 requires a plan sponsor to (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year; and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. Such changes will be reported in comprehensive income. The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective for the Company as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The Company sponsors a fully-funded defined benefit pension plan and an unfunded post-retirement health and life plan. Information relating to the defined benefit pension and post-retirement health and life plans and the effects of applying Statement 158 is provided in Note M, “Employee Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plans”. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company currently measures plan assets and benefit obligations at year end. As such, this requirement will have no impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operation.

Gross gains on sales of securities available for sale for 2006, 2005 and 2004, were $382, $138 and $462, respectively. Gross losses on sales of securities available for sale for 2006, 2005 and 2004, were $357, $68 and $390, respectively. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, securities with a carrying value of approximately $292,362 and $233,470, respectively, were pledged to secure government, public and trust deposits. Securities with a carrying value of $18,376 and $18,248 were pledged as collateral for short-term borrowings at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The Company held Fannie Mae (“FNMA”) and Freddie Mac (“FHLMC”) preferred stock in its securities portfolio. These securities paid a dividend based on treasury rates and reset every two years. During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company concluded that the decline in the fair value of these securities was other-than-temporary as a result of the issuance of new securities by FNMA and FHLMC as part of a settlement reached with federal regulatory agencies. The newly-issued securities had terms more favorable than the terms of the securities the Company held. The Company recorded an $1,093 non-cash impairment charge during the fourth quarter of 2004 on these securities. The impairment is reflected under the caption “Securities gains (losses)” on the statements of income. During 2005, the Company sold its FHLMC preferred stock and recorded a gain of $17 on the sale. During 2006, the Company sold its FNMA preferred stock and recorded a gain of $281 on the sale.

Management does not believe unrealized losses in our securities portfolio, individually or in the aggregate, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, represent an other-than-temporary impairment. The unrealized losses are primarily a result of changes in interest rates and will not prohibit the Company from receiving its contractual interest and principal payments. The Company has both the intent and ability to hold the securities contained in the table above for the time necessary to recover the unrealized loss or until maturity.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale at December 31, 2006, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company adopted and applied the provisions of SOP 03-3 on certain loans acquired in connection with the acquisition of Heritage. At the date of acquisition, there was evidence of deterioration of the credit quality of these loans since origination, and it was probable that all contractually required payments would not be collected. The amount of such loans included in the balance sheet heading “Loans, net of unearned income” is as follows:

During 2006, the Company increased the allowance for loan losses by $79 through a charge to the provision for loan losses because of the deterioration of one loan with a carrying value of $191 accounted for in accordance with SOP 03-3. The Company did not increase the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses on these loans during 2005.

During 2004, the Company sold approximately $10,465 of commercial and commercial real estate loans. One loan with a balance of $640 was classified as nonperforming at the time it was sold. The credit quality of the other loans, while not classified as nonperforming, had declined below the Company’s desired credit standards. As such, the Company had established a reserve in the allowance for loan losses for these loans of $2,246. Upon disposition, the Company charged-off $1,634 against the allowance for loan losses. The excess allocated allowance for loan losses over the amount charged-off was reversed in the period of sale.

Changes in the allowance for loan losses were as follows:

Certain executive officers and directors of Renasant Bank and their associates are customers of and have other transactions with Renasant Bank. Related party loans and commitments are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than a normal risk of collectibility. The aggregate dollar amount of these loans was $12,976 and $17,225 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During 2006, $2,170 of new loans were made to related parties and payments received totaled $646. The loan balance to related parties decreased $5,773 as a result of changes in related parties during the year.

The Company maintains lines of credit with correspondent banks totaling $35,000 at December 31, 2006. These are unsecured lines of credit maturing at various times within the next twelve months. Interest is charged at the market federal funds rate on all advances. In addition, the Company maintains a treasury tax and loan account with the Federal Reserve. The balance is collateralized by assets of Renasant Bank. Availability of the line of credit depends upon the amount of collateral pledged as well as the Federal Reserve’s need for funds.

Note H—Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt at December 31 is summarized as follows:

 

		2006			2005
		(In Thousands)
Federal Home Loan Bank advances		$	144,212		$	191,481

Long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) had maturities ranging from 2007 to 2025 with weighted-average interest rates of 4.99% and 4.25% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These advances had a combination of fixed and floating rates which range from 2.67% to 7.93% at December 31, 2006. The Company had availability on unused lines of credit with the FHLB of $598,549 at December 31, 2006. These advances are collateralized by a pledge of a blanket lien on the Company’s mortgage loans.

Note I—Junior Subordinated Debentures Owed to Unconsolidated Subsidiary Trusts

The Company owns the outstanding common stock of business trusts that issued corporation-obligated mandatorily redeemable preferred capital securities to third-party investors. The trust used the proceeds from the issuance of their preferred capital securities and common stock (collectively referred to as “capital securities’) to buy floating rate debentures issued by the Company (except that Heritage Financial Statutory Trust II purchased debentures issued by Heritage, and the Company assumed these debentures). The debentures are the trusts’ only assets and interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the capital securities. Distributions on the capital securities are payable quarterly at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate being earned by the trusts on the debentures held by the trusts. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures. The Company has entered into an agreement which fully and unconditionally guarantees the capital securities subject to the terms of the guarantee. The following table provides details on the debentures as December 31, 2006:

 

		Principal Amount			Interest Rate			Year of Maturity
		(In Thousands)
PHC Statutory Trust I		$	20,619		8.21	%		2033
PHC Statutory Trust II			31,959		7.23			2035
Heritage Financial Statutory Trust I			10,310		10.20			2031

PHC Statutory Trust I and PHC Statutory Trust II have floating interest rates which reprice quarterly equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 285 basis points and three-month LIBOR plus 187 basis points, respectively. The interest rate for Heritage Financial Statutory Trust I is fixed at 10.20% per annum.

The Company has certain rights to redeem its debentures, at par, in whole or in part on or after December 17, 2007 for debentures owned by PHC Statutory Trust I and March 15, 2010 for debentures owned by PHC Statutory Trust II. The debentures owned by Heritage Financial Statutory Trust I may be redeemed in whole or in part at a premium on or after February 22, 2011 through February 21, 2021. On or after February 22, 2021, the debentures owned by Heritage Financial Statutory Trust I may be redeemed at par. The Company has classified all of the debentures described in the above paragraph as Tier I capital. FIN 46R raised questions about whether the debentures issued by an unconsolidated subsidiary trust could continue to be included in Tier 1 capital. The Federal Reserve Board issued guidance in March 2005 providing more strict quantitative limits on the amount of securities, similar to the junior subordinated debentures issued by the Company, that are includable in Tier 1 capital. The new guidance, which becomes effective in March 2009, is not expected to impact the amount of debentures the Company includes in Tier 1 capital.

Note J—Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Loan commitments are made to accommodate the financial needs of the Company’s customers. Standby letters of credit commit the Company to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. Both arrangements have credit risk essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers and are subject to the Company’s normal credit policies. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory, equipment, etc.) is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.

The Company’s unfunded loan commitments (unfunded loans and unused lines of credit) and standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2006, were approximately $577,439 and $23,245, respectively, compared to December 31, 2005, which were approximately $401,711 and $24,491, respectively.

Various claims and lawsuits, incidental to the ordinary course of business, are pending against the Company and Renasant Bank. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, resolution of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Market risk resulting from interest rate changes on particular off-balance sheet financial instruments may be offset by other on- or off-balance sheet transactions. Interest rate sensitivity is monitored by the Company for determining the net effect of potential changes in interest rates on the market value of both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments.

Note K—Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes, included in other assets, reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. No valuation allowance was recognized as the deferred tax assets were determined to be realizable in future years. This determination was based on the Company’s earnings history—the Company has no basis for believing future performance will not continue to follow the same pattern.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

 

		December 31,
		2006			2005
		(In Thousands)
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for loan losses		$	8,075		$	8,013
Deferred compensation			4,829			3,952

		Year ended December 31,
		2006				2005				2004
		(In Thousands)

Other items—net			(418	)			(415	)			9
		$	11,467			$	9,503			$	6,816

Income tax (benefit) expense related to securities gains or losses was $11, $28 and $(391) for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The net operating loss carryforward arose through the operations of Heritage prior to the acquisition. The Company believes the net operating loss carryforward will be fully utilized by 2010.

Note L—Restrictions on Cash, Bank Dividends, Loans or Advances

Renasant Bank is required to maintain average balances with the Federal Reserve. The average amount of those balances for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $12,775 and $11,121, respectively.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is substantially dependent on the transfer from Renasant Bank of sufficient funds to pay such dividends. Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of Renasant Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of cash dividends, loans or advances. The approval of the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance is required prior to Renasant Bank paying dividends, which are limited to earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock. At December 31, 2006, the unrestricted surplus for Renasant Bank was approximately $296,328.

Federal Reserve regulations also limit the amount Renasant Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by specific obligations. At December 31, 2006, the maximum amount available for transfer from Renasant Bank to the Company in the form of loans was $23,306. There were no loans outstanding from Renasant Bank to the Company at December 31, 2006.

Note M—Employee Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company sponsored a defined benefit noncontributory pension plan which was curtailed as of December 31, 1996. Accordingly, participant accruals were frozen as of that date. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute annually an amount that is at least equal to the minimum amount determined by consulting actuaries in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company did not make a contribution to the pension plan for 2006. The Company contributed $1,500 for 2005. The accumulated benefit obligation and the projected benefit obligation are the same for the Company since the benefits are frozen at 1996 levels.

The Company also provides certain health care and/or life insurance to retired employees. Substantially all of the Company’s employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach normal or early retirement while working for the Company. The Company pays one-half of the health insurance premiums. Up to age 70, each retired employee receives life insurance coverage paid entirely by the Company. The Company has accounted for its obligation related to these plans in accordance with FASB Statement No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.”

The Company has limited its liability for the rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) to the rate of inflation assumed to be 4% each year. Increasing or decreasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would not materially increase or decrease the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation nor the service and interest cost components of net periodic post-retirement benefit costs as of December 31, 2006 and for the year then ended.

Pension Benefits represent the defined benefit pension plan previously offered by the Company and Other Benefits represent the post-retirement health and life plans. There is no additional minimum pension liability required to be recognized. Information relating to the defined benefit pension and post-retirement health and life plans as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:

 

		Pension Benefits
		2006			2005

The investment objective for the defined benefit plan is to achieve above average income and moderate long term growth. The strategy combines the Equity Income Strategy (approximately 60%) which generally invests in larger capitalization common stocks and the Intermediate Fixed Income Strategy (approximately 40%) which favors U.S. Government securities and investments in investment grade corporate bonds. It is management’s intent to give the investment managers flexibility within the overall guidelines with respect to investment decisions and their timing. However, significant modifications of any previously approved investments or anticipated use of derivatives to execute investment strategies must be approved by management.

The expected long-term rate of return was estimated using market benchmarks for investment classes applied to the plan’s target asset allocation. The expected return on investment classes was computed using a valuation methodology which projected future returns based on current equity valuations rather than historical returns. The Company does not anticipate making a contribution to the defined benefit pension plan in 2007.

The Company previously maintained two defined contribution plans: a money purchase pension plan and a 401(k) plan. On December 31, 2004, the money purchase plan was merged into the Company’s 401(k) Plan. The money purchase pension plan was a noncontributory pension plan. Under the money purchase plan, the Company contributed 5% of compensation for each participant annually into this plan. Expenses related to the money purchase pension plan were $1,782, $1,630 and $1,206 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 401(k) plan is a contributory plan. Employees may contribute up to the IRS allowable limit of pre-tax earnings into this plan. In addition, the Company provides for a matching contribution up to 4% of compensation for each employee who has attained age 21, completed six months of service and is employed on the last day of the plan year. The Company’s costs related to the 401(k) plan in 2006, 2005 and 2004 were $1,114, $1,071 and $749, respectively.

The Company and Renasant Bank also sponsored an employee stock ownership plan covering substantially all full-time employees who were 21 years of age and had completed one year of employment prior to its curtailment on January 1, 2002. The Company match for the 401(k) plan was raised to 4% from 3% upon curtailment of the ESOP Plan. The ESOP was amended in 2002 to enable employees to elect to receive dividends in cash.

The Company adopted the “Performance Based Reward” incentive compensation plan on January 1, 2001. Incentive benefits are paid to eligible officers and employees after the end of each calendar year and are determined based on established criteria relating to profitability. Management sets minimum income levels for all applicable profit centers and rewards employees on performance over that minimum income level. The expense associated with the plan for 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $2,325, $1,340 and $1,191, respectively.

The Company maintains deferred compensation plans available to eligible directors and officers of the Company. Directors may defer up to 100% of their fees and retainers. Employees may defer up to 10% of their salaries. Opportunities to increase deferrals, or for new participants to enter these plans, are offered annually. The interest amount accrued on deferrals is tied to Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Rate for October of the previous year. On December 29, 2006, the Company adopted new deferred compensation plans. Under the new plans, officers and directors may elect from a number of investment alternatives which include, among others, the Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Rate. These plans succeed and replace the existing deferred compensation plans for officers and directors of the Company and the Bank and became effective January 1, 2007.

The Company’s deferred compensation plans are unfunded, and it is anticipated that they will result in no additional cost to the Company over the term of these plans because life insurance policies on the lives of the participants have been purchased in amounts estimated to be sufficient to pay benefits under the plans. The Company is both the owner and beneficiary of the life insurance policies. The expense recorded in 2006, 2005

and 2004 for the Employee Deferred Compensation Plan, inclusive of the salary deferrals, was $589, $568 and $583, respectively. The expense recorded in 2006, 2005 and 2004 for the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, inclusive of fee deferrals, was $128, $58 and $47, respectively. There were no retainer deferrals for 2006, 2005 or 2004.

At December 31, 2006, 3,054,244 common shares were reserved for issuance for employee benefit plans.

During 2006, the Company did not repurchase any shares. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had approximately 264,756 shares available for repurchase under an approved repurchase plan. Repurchased shares will be used for various corporate purposes, including the issuance of shares for business combinations and employee benefit plans.

In 2001, the Company adopted a stock incentive plan which provides for the grant of stock options and award of restricted stock. The stock options granted under the plan allow participants to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed price per share over a specified period of ten years. The options granted become vested and exercisable in equal installments of 33 ¹/3% upon completion of one, two and three years of service measured from the grant date. Options that have not vested are cancelled upon the termination of the participants’ employment. In addition, granted options that have not exercised after 10 years are cancelled.

We recorded compensation expense of $724, $680 and $511 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, in relation to the stock options granted under the Company’s stock incentive plan.

The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for each option grant:

 

		2006 Grant			2005 Grant			2004 Grant
		(In Thousands Except Share Data)
Dividend yield		2.64	%		2.48	%		2.21	%

Note N—Regulatory Matters

Renasant Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Renasant Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, Renasant Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Renasant Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Renasant Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Renasant Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios. All banks are required to have core capital (Tier I) of at least 4% of

risk-weighted assets (as defined), 4% of average assets (as defined) and total capital of 8% of risk-weighted assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2006, Renasant Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) categorized Renasant Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, Renasant Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios of 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

Note O—Segment Reporting

FASB Statement No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires public companies to report certain financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments (as defined by management) and certain enterprise-wide financial information about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.

The Company’s internal reporting process is organized into four segments that account for the Company’s principal activities: the delivery of financial services through its community banks in Mississippi (Mississippi Region), Tennessee (Tennessee Region) and Alabama (Alabama Region) and the delivery of insurance services through its insurance agency (Renasant Insurance). In order to give our regional management a more precise indication of the income and expenses they can control, the results of operations for the regions of the community bank and the insurance company reflect the direct revenues and expenses of each respective segment. The Company believes this management approach will enable our regional management to focus on serving customers through loan originations and deposit gathering. Indirect revenues and expenses, including but not limited to income from our investment portfolio, certain costs associated with other data processing and back office functions, are not allocated to our segments. Rather these revenues and expenses are shown in the “Other” column along with the operations of the holding company and eliminations which are necessary for purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts.

Note P—Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and due from banks and interest-bearing balances with banks. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Securities: Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Mortgage loans held for sale: The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheet for mortgage loans held for sale approximates fair value.

Loans: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fixed-rate loan fair values, including mortgages, commercial, agricultural and consumer loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Interest Rate Swap: Fair value of the interest rate swap is based on the projected future cash flows.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits, both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow based on currently effective interest rates for similar types of accounts.

Junior subordinated debentures: The fair value was determined by discounting the cash flow using the current market rate.

Other borrowed funds: Consists of treasury tax and loan notes and securities sold under repurchase agreements. The fair value of treasury tax and loan notes and securities sold under repurchase agreements approximates the carrying value of the amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for each respective account.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances: The fair value was determined by discounting the cash flow using the current market rate.

On March 2, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment to the merger agreement. At December 31, 2006, Capital operated seven full-service banking offices in the Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro, Tennessee Metropolitan Statistical Area and had total assets of $564.4 million, total deposits of $465.0 million and total shareholders’ equity of $35.0 million.

According to the terms of the merger agreement (which means in this Note U the merger agreement as amended), each Capital common shareholder can elect to receive: (1) 1.2306 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Capital common stock, (2) $38.00 in cash for each share of Capital common stock or (3) a combination of 40% cash, in the amount listed above, and 60% common stock, at the same exchange ratio listed above. The merger agreement imposes an overall limitation that the aggregate stock consideration be no more than 65% and no less than 60% of the total consideration received by Capital shareholders. In the event that both the market value of our common stock and the value of the NASDAQ Bank Index decline by amounts specified in the merger agreement as of the date of determination, we may adjust the exchange ratio used in the merger to account for the decline in the value of our stock price; if no adjustment is made, Capital may terminate the merger agreement.

Based on the Company’s market close of $27.92 on February 2, 2007, the trading day immediately prior to the announcement of the execution of the definitive merger agreement with Capital, the aggregate transaction value, including the dilutive impact of Capital’s options which we are assuming in the merger, was approximately $134.9 million.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Stockholders and Board of Directors

Capital Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Capital Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 2006 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary at December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006

 

(1)	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Capital Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. The following is a brief summary of the significant policies.

 

(a)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capital Bank & Trust Company (“the Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CBTC Corporation and Capital Housing Improvement Projects, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(b)

Nature of Operations

Capital Bancorp, Inc. is a registered bank holding company headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. It offers extensive and service-intensive financial products and services through its subsidiary, Capital Bank & Trust Company, which is a state chartered bank. The Bank provides full banking services. As a state chartered bank, the Bank is subject to regulations of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The area served by the Bank is Davidson and surrounding counties of Middle Tennessee. Services are provided at the main office in Nashville, Tennessee and seven branches.

CBTC Corporation was established before the inception of the Bank in order to establish a lease for the current Main Office. It is a shell corporation and has minimal cash assets at a local financial institution.

Capital Housing Improvement Projects, Inc. was established in order to allow the Bank to invest in residential real estate for the purpose of building and selling low to moderate income housing in the Nashville market as part of its community reinvestment plan. The subsidiary is currently inactive.

 

(c)

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to determination of the allowance for possible loan losses and the valuation of debt and equity securities and the related deferred taxes.

 

(d)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds sold are purchased and sold for one-day periods. The Company maintains deposits in excess of the federal insurance amounts with other financial institutions. Management makes deposits only with financial institutions it considers to be financially sound.

 

(e)

Securities

The Company classifies its securities in one of three categories: held to maturity, available for sale, or trading. Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the

Securities, continued

 

near term. Held to maturity securities are those securities for which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. All other securities are classified as available for sale. At December 31, 2006, all securities were classified as available for sale.

Held to maturity securities are recorded at cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available for sale securities are excluded from net income and are reported in other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized. Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. Unrealized holding gains or losses associated with transfers of securities from held to maturity to available for sale are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. These unrealized holding gains or losses are amortized into income over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to the yield in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of the original purchase premium or discount on the associated security.

A decline in the fair value of available for sale and held to maturity securities below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings and establishes a new cost basis for the security. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related security as an adjustment to the yield. Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available for sale and held to maturity are included in net income and derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of the securities sold.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock and The Bankers Bank stock is included in other assets at its original cost basis, as cost approximates fair value and there is no ready market for such investments.

 

(f)

Loans

Loans are stated at the principal amount outstanding. Unearned discount, deferred loan fees net of loan acquisition costs, and the allowance for loan losses are shown as reductions of loans. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain loan-related costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan’s yield over the contractual life of the loan. Unearned discount represents the unamortized amount of finance charges, principally related to certain installment loans. Interest income on most loans is accrued based on the principal amount outstanding.

The accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due and is not both well collateralized and in the process of collection, or when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, that the principal or interest will not be collectible in the normal course of business. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is charged against interest income on loans. Generally, interest income is recognized on a cash basis on non-accrual loans.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that all amounts due, according to the contractual terms of the loan, will not be collected. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s

effective interest rate, or at the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized using the cash-basis method of accounting during the time the loans are impaired.

 

(g)

Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge to earnings necessary, after loan charge-offs and recoveries, to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level appropriate to absorb estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the allowance is determined on a quarterly basis using procedures which include: (1) categorizing commercial and commercial real estate loans into risk categories to estimate loss probabilities based primarily on the historical loss experience of those risk categories and current economic conditions; (2) analyzing significant commercial and commercial real estate credits and calculating specific reserves as necessary; (3) assessing various homogeneous consumer loan categories to estimate loss probabilities based primarily on historical loss experience; (4) considering various other factors, such as changes in credit concentrations, loan mix, and economic conditions which may not be specifically quantified in the loan analysis process.

The allowance for loan losses consists of an allocated portion and an unallocated, or general, portion. The allocated portion is maintained to cover estimated losses applicable to specific segments of the loan portfolio. The unallocated portion is maintained to absorb losses which probably exist as of the evaluation date but are not identified by the more objective processes used for the allocated portion of the allowance due to risk of errors or imprecision.

The provision is based on management’s determination of the amount of the allowance necessary to provide for estimated loan losses based on its evaluation of the loan portfolio. Management believe the allowance for loan losses is adequate at December 31, 2006; however, determining the appropriate level of the allowance and the amount of the provision involves uncertainties and matters of judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision.

 

(h)

Loans Held-For-Sale

Mortgage loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or market value, determined by outstanding commitments from investors at the balance sheet date. These loans are valued on an aggregate basis.

 

(i)

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The range of estimated useful lives for buildings and improvements is 30 to 40 years, for leasehold improvements, 2 to 15 years, for land improvements, 10 to 35 years, and for furniture and equipment, 3 to 10 years. Gain or loss on items retired and otherwise disposed of is credited or charged to operations and the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts.

Expenditures for major renewals and improvements of premises and equipment are capitalized and those for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred.

(j)

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.

 

(k)

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income taxes during the period that includes the enactment date.

In the event the future tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities results in deferred tax assets, an evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset is required. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of the deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers the scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable earnings and tax planning strategies.

 

(l)

Stock Option and Employee Stock Purchase Plans

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-based Payment,” using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, the Company has recorded stock-based employee compensation cost using the fair value method starting in 2006. For 2006, adopting this standard resulted in a reduction of income before income taxes of $244,000, a reduction in net income of $244,000, and a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of $.07.

 

(m)

Other Real Estate

Real estate acquired in the settlement of loans is initially recorded at the lower of cost (loan value of real estate acquired in settlement of loans plus incidental expense) or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Based on periodic evaluations by management, the carrying values are reduced by a direct charge to earnings when they exceed net realizable value. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property are capitalized, while holding costs of the property are charged to expense in the period incurred.

 

(n)

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received.

(o)

Impact of New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”), “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” which is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. SAB 108 provides guidance on how the effects of prior-year uncorrected financial statement misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 requires public companies to quantify misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) and balance sheet (iron curtain) approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. If prior year errors that had been previously considered immaterial now are considered material based on either approach, no restatement is required so long as management properly applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. Adjustments considered immaterial in prior years under the method previously used, but now considered material under the dual approach required by SAB 108, are to be recorded upon the initial adoption of SAB 108. The amount so recorded is shown as a cumulative effect adjustment and is recorded in opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 had no effect on the Company’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006.

 

(p)

Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 158 (“SFAS No. 158”), “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 123(R).” This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet, beginning with year-end 2006, and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income beginning in 2006. Additionally, defined benefit plan assets and obligations are to be measured as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end, starting in 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

New accounting standards have been issued that the Company does not expect will have a material effect on the financial statements when adopted in future years or for which the Company has not yet completed its evaluation of the potential effect upon adoption. In general, these standards revise the accounting for derivatives embedded in other financial instruments for 2007, revise the recognition and accounting for servicing of financial assets for 2007, establish a hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value for 2008, change the recognition threshold and measurement guidance for tax positions that contain significant uncertainty in 2007, revise the accrual of post-retirement benefits associated with providing life insurance for 2008, and revise the accounting for cash surrender value for 2007. These are detailed in the following paragraphs.

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 155 (“SFAS No. 155”), “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment to FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”. This Statement permits fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instruments, clarifies which instruments are subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133,

and establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets and other items. The new standard is effective for financial assets acquired or issued after the beginning of the entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact of its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. This Statement provides for the following: (1) revised guidance on when a servicing asset and servicing liability should be recognized; (2) requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable; (3) permits an entity to elect to measure servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value each reporting date and report changes in fair value in earnings in the period in which the changes occur; (4) upon initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities for securities which are identified as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in the fair value of servicing assets or liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional footnote disclosure. This standard is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006 with the effects of initial adoption being reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Management does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of this standard.

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-4 (“EITF 06-4”), “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements”. This issue requires that a liability be recorded during the service period when a split-dollar life insurance agreement continues after participants’ employment or retirement. The required accrued liability will be based on either the post-employment benefit cost for the continuing life insurance or based on the future death benefit depending on the contractual terms of the underlying agreement. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of EITF 06-4.

Effect of Newly Issued But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards, continued

 

In September 2006, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force finalized Issue No. 06-5, “Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance—Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance).” This issue requires that a policyholder consider contractual terms of a life insurance policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. It also requires that if the contract provides for a greater surrender value if all individual policies in a group are surrendered at the same time, that the surrender value be determined based on the assumption that policies will be surrendered on an individual basis. Lastly, the issue discusses whether the cash surrender value should be discounted when the policyholder is contractually limited in its ability to surrender a policy. This issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of this issue will have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations.

(2)	Securities Available for Sale, continued

Securities carried in the balance sheet of approximately $44.8 million (amortized cost of $45.4 million) were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law at December 31, 2006.

The following table shows the Company’s investments’ gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at December 31, 2006:

 

		December 31, 2006
		Less than 12 Months								12 Months or More								Total
		Fair Value			Unrealized Losses			Number of Securities Included		Fair Value			Unrealized Losses			Number of Securities Included		Fair Value			Unrealized Losses

U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies and corporations		$	498		$	2		1		$	13,447		$	176		12		$	13,945		$	178
Obligations of states and political sub-divisions			1,204			13		5			6,471			60		27			7,675			73
Mortgage-backed securities			3,180			2		3			19,937			470		26			23,117			472
Total temporarily impaired securities		$	4,882		$	17		9		$	39,855		$	706		65		$	44,737		$	723

Management believes that there are no unrealized losses as of December 31, 2006, that represent an other-than-temporary impairment. Unrealized losses at December 31, 2006, are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the Company has both the intent and ability to hold the securities for a time necessary to recover the amortized cost. The unrealized losses reported for mortgage-backed securities relate primarily to securities issued by FNMA, FHLMC and private institutions.

(13)	Commitment and Contingencies

The Company is party to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be material to the financial position of the Company.

The subsidiary Bank has entered into several operating lease agreements for the main office bank building, bank branch offices, mortgage loan department office, operations center, and automobiles. Future minimum rental payments required under the terms of the noncancellable leases are as follows:

(14)	Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

The Company is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments consist primarily of commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

		Contract or Notional Amount 2006
		(In Thousands)
Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk:
Unused commitments to extend credit		$	122,632
Standby letters of credit			4,916
Total		$	127,548

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are not expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit-worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral normally consists of real property.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. Most guarantees extend from one to two years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The fair value of standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the likelihood of the counter parties drawing on such financial instruments and the present creditworthiness of such counter parties. Such commitments have been made on terms which are competitive in the markets in which the Company operates, thus, the fair value of standby letters of credit equals the carrying value for the purposes of this disclosure. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make under the guarantees totaled $4.9 million at December 31, 2006.

 

(15)	Regulatory Matters and Restrictions on Dividends

The Company and its subsidiary are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve Bank, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions.

discretionary actions by regulators that could, in that event, have a direct material effect on the institution’s financial statements. The relevant regulations require the Company and its subsidiary to meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involves quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Those qualitative judgments could also affect the Company’s capital status and the amount of dividends the Company may distribute.

The Company and its subsidiary are required to maintain minimum amounts of capital to total “risk weighted” assets, as defined by the banking regulators. The Company and its subsidiary bank are required to have minimum Tier I and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively, and a leverage ratio of 4%. The actual ratios of the Company and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 were as follows:

 

		Capital Bancorp, Inc				Capital Bank & Trust
Tier I ratio			9.19	%			9.06	%
		$	44,049			$	42,271
Total risk-based ratio			11.12	%			10.23	%
		$	53,284			$	47,876
Leverage ratio			7.46	%			7.94	%

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the banking regulators categorized the Company and its subsidiary as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Company’s category.

 

(16)	Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

Director Deferred Stock Compensation Plan

In December 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a Director Deferred Stock Compensation Plan. The plan allows the members of the Board of Directors to elect to defer up to 100% of their compensation. The plan is non-qualified and amounts deferred are considered “invested” in the Company’s common stock. Distributions of deferred amounts may be made in lump sums or over a period of up to ten years. Distributions will be made in shares of common stock and begin with the earlier of a director ceasing to serve as a member of the board or as determined by the deferral election. The plan has not and will not materially impact the Company as director compensation expense will continue to be recorded when incurred. There were no deferrals under this plan during 2006.

Director Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company provides its directors a deferred compensation plan. The deferred compensation plan was established in 1999 to reward the directors for past performance and to provide retirement and death benefits. There were eight directors participating in the plan at December 31, 2006. The deferred compensation plan provides retirement benefits for a period of 120 months after the director reaches the age of 65.

(16)	Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans, continued

 

The Company has purchased insurance policies with death benefits provided for in the plans. The insurance policies remain the sole property of the Company and are payable to the Company. Under the terms of the deferred compensation plan, upon the death of the insured, each insured’s beneficiary is entitled to twenty-five percent (25%) of the net at risk insurance portion of the proceeds. The net at risk insurance portion is the total proceeds less the cash value of the policy. The plans are not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. The cash surrender value of life insurance purchased to fund the plans as of December 31, 2006 totaled $2.3 million. At December 31, 2006, the deferred compensation liabilities totaled $563,000.

The Company expensed $154,000 related to the deferred compensation plan for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

The Company has also established a supplemental executive retirement plan (SERP) to provide supplemental retirement benefits to three executive officers of the Company. The supplemental executive retirement plan provides the three executive officers with a percentage of their anticipated annual incomes based upon a projected, hypothetical age—65 retirement date. These benefits are expected to be for a fifteen year period after retirement. The Company has purchased insurance policies to provide death benefits provided for in the plans. The insurance policies remain the sole property of the Company and are payable to the Company. At December 31, 2006, the supplemental executive retirement liabilities totaled $548,000 and the cash surrender value of life insurance purchased to fund the plans totaled $7.3 million. Under the terms of the SERP, at death the accrued benefits are payable to the executive officers’ beneficiaries. The plans are not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company expensed $215,000 related to the supplemental executive retirement plan for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

(17)	Stock Option and Employee Stock Purchase Plans

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In January 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The plan authorizes the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted employees or to employees of any affiliates designated as being eligible to participate. The plan is intended to qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the IRS Code.

The Board of Directors will administer the plan which will offer employees the opportunity to purchase common stock quarterly at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) 85% of the fair market value on the date of commencement of the offering or (ii) 85% of the fair market value on the date of purchase. All regular employees, including executive officers who are employed by the Company or any designated affiliates may participate and purchase up to $25,000 worth of common stock in any calendar year. No employee shall be eligible for the grant of any rights under the plan if immediately after such rights are granted, such employee owns five percent or more of outstanding capital stock measured by vote or value.

In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognized $76,000 of expense during 2006 on the 16,780 shares issued under the plan. The expense was computed using a method that

In March of 2001, the Company’s stockholders approved the Capital Bancorp, Inc. 2001 Stock Option Plan which provides for the grant of options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s stock, of which 258,466 remain available to be granted. Under the Stock Option Plan, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options, generally have vesting period of three to five years and are generally exercisable for up to ten years following the date such option awards are granted. Exercise prices of incentive stock options must be equal to or greater than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date. The Company currently has sufficient authorized and unissued shares to satisfy the expected option exercises.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes-Merton) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The fair value of options granted during 2006 was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

 

		2006
Risk-free interest rate		4.89	%
Expected term		4.8 years
Expected stock price volatility		18.52	%
Dividend yield		0	%

A summary of the stock option activity for 2006 is as follows:

 

		Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price			Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at beginning of year		327,134			$	9.62
Granted		45,000				19.45
Exercised		(122,300	)			5.48
Forfeited		(3,900	)			20.76
Outstanding at end of year		245,934			$	13.30		7.3 years		$	2.9 million
Options exercisable at year end		136,717			$	10.80		6.6 years		$	1.9 million

Information related to the stock option plan during 2006 follows:

 

		2006
		(In thousands, except per share amounts)
Intrinsic value of options exercised		$	2,008
Cash received from option exercises		$	671
Tax benefit realized from option exercises		$	630
Weighted average fair value of options granted		$	5.30

In conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recognized $168,000 of expense during 2006 for options granted under this plan. As the vast majority of the unvested options under this plan are incentive stock options, the tax benefit recognized on this expense was less than $1,000. Prior to the adoption of this standard, no expense was recognized as exercise price equaled the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.

As of December 31, 2006, there was $247,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years.

 

(18)	Earnings Per Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 “Earnings Per Share” sets forth uniform standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share begins with the basic earnings per share plus the effect of common shares potentially issuable from stock options.

The following is a summary of the components comprising basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the year ended December 31, 2006:

 

		(In thousands, except share amounts)
Basic EPS Computation:
Numerator—Earnings available to common stockholders		$	4,181
Denominator—Weighted average number of common shares outstanding			3,537,936
Basic earnings per common share		$	1.18
Diluted EPS Computation:
Numerator—Earnings available to common stockholders		$	4,181
Denominator—Weighted average number of common shares outstanding			3,537,936
Dilutive effect of stock options			117,166
			3,655,102
Diluted earnings per common share		$	1.14

Stock options for 82,823 common shares were not considered in computing diluted earnings per share for 2006 because they were anti-dilutive.

(20)	Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for the Company’s financial instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents

For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Securities

The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices.

Restricted Equity Securities

The carrying value of other equity securities approximates fair value.

Loans

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as commercial, mortgage, credit card and other consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.

The fair value of the various categories of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining average estimated maturities.

For variable rate loans, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans Held for Sale

These instruments are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at the lower of cost or market value. The fair value of these instruments is based on subsequent liquidation values of the instruments which did not result in any significant gains or losses.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

The carrying values of bank owned life insurance policies approximate fair value.

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date and approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Under the provision of SFAS No. 107 the fair value estimates for deposits does not include the benefit that results from the low cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market.

(20)	Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued

 

Securities Sold Under Repurchase Agreements

The securities sold under repurchase agreements are payable upon demand. For this reason the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank

The fair value of advances and short term borrowings is estimated by discounting the future payments using the current rates at which similar advances could be obtained for the same remaining average maturities.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The fair value is approximated by the present value of the contractual cash flows discounted by the investor’s yield which considers the Company’s debt ratings.

Commitments to Extend Credit, Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees Written

Loan commitments are made to customers generally for a period not to exceed one year and at the prevailing interest rates in effect at the time the loan is closed. Commitments to extend credit related to construction loans are made for a period not to exceed six months with interest rates at the current market rate at the date of closing. In addition, standby letters of credit are issued for periods extending from one to two years with rates to be determined at the date the letter of credit is funded. Fees are only charged for the construction loans and the standby letters of credit and the amounts unearned at December 31, 2006 are insignificant. Accordingly, these commitments have no carrying value and management estimates the commitments to have no significant fair value.

The carrying value and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2006 are as follows:

 

		2006
		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
		(In Thousands)
Financial assets:
Cash and short-term investments		11,253		11,253
Securities, available for sale		67,784		67,784
Loans, net		458,593		455,322
Bank owned life insurance		9,535		9,535
Loans held for sale		1,589		1,589
Restricted equity securities		2,965		2,965
Financial liabilities:
Deposits		464,952		463,915
Securities sold under repurchase agreements		2,997		2,997
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank		44,612		43,979
Junior subordinated debentures		12,372		11,549

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on estimating on-and-off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, the Company has a mortgage department that contributes net fee income annually. The mortgage department is not considered a financial instrument, and its value has not been incorporated into the fair value estimates. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets or liabilities include deferred tax assets and liabilities and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Selected quarterly results of operations for the four quarters ended December 31 are as follows:

(22)	Agreement and Plan of Merger with Renasant Corporation, continued

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement each outstanding share of Capital’s common stock (other than treasury shares and shares held by Capital stockholders who have exercised and maintained their dissenter’s rights) will be converted into the right to receive either (i) $38.00 in cash (ii) 1.2306 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of Renasant common stock or (iii) a combination of 40% cash, in the amount listed above, and 60% Renasant common stock, at the Exchange Ratio listed above. Each stockholder of Capital will be entitled to elect the type of merger consideration he or she wishes to receive for his or her shares of Capital common stock, subject to an overall limitation that the aggregate stock consideration shall be no more than 65% and no less than 60% of the total merger consideration received by Capital stockholders. The Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization with respect to the portion of the merger consideration received as shares of Renasant common stock. Outstanding options to purchase Capital common stock granted under Capital’s equity plans will be automatically converted into options to purchase Renasant common stock, except that (i) the per share exercise price of such options will be adjusted by dividing such exercise price by the Exchange Ratio and (ii) the number of shares subject to such options will be adjusted by multiplying such number of shares by the Exchange Ratio.

Consummation of this merger is subject to the receipt of required regulatory approval as well as the approval of both Renasant’s and Capital’s shareholders and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Subject to approval, the transaction is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2007.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Mississippi Business Corporation Act

The Mississippi Business Corporation Act (“MBCA”) empowers a corporation to indemnify an individual who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if

 

•

he conducted himself in good faith;

 

•

he reasonably believed in the case of conduct in his official capacity, that his conduct was in the best interests of the corporation, and in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and

 

•

in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

A corporation may also indemnify an individual who engaged in conduct which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation as authorized by Section 79-4-2.02(b)(5) of the MBCA. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the relevant standard of conduct.

Unless ordered by a court under Section 79-4-8.54(a)(3) of the MBCA, a corporation may not indemnify a director

 

 

•

in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard of conduct under the MBCA; or

 

•

in connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which he was adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, whether or not involving action in his official capacity.

Table of Contents

Index to Financial Statements

The MBCA further provides that a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding. Also, a corporation may, before final disposition of a proceeding, advance funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding because he is a director. The director must deliver to the corporation: (1) a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the relevant standard of conduct described in the MBCA or that the proceeding involves conduct for which liability has been eliminated under a provision of the articles of incorporation as authorized by the MBCA; and (2) his written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if he is not entitled to mandatory indemnification under the MBCA and it is ultimately determined under the MBCA that he has not met the relevant standard of conduct described in the MBCA. The undertaking required must be an unlimited general obligation of the director. It need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the director to make repayment.

A corporation may not indemnify a director as described above unless authorized by:

 

•

the board of directors if there are two or more qualified directors, by a majority vote of all the qualified directors (a majority of whom shall for such purpose constitute a quorum) or by a majority of the members of a committee of two or more qualified directors appointed by such a vote;

 

•

special legal counsel selected in accordance with the MBCA; or

 

•

the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of a director who at the time does not qualify as a qualified director may not be voted on the authorization.

A corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he is an officer to the same extent as for a director.

Renasant Bylaws

Article IX of the bylaws of the Registrant contains the following indemnification provision:

“SECTION 1. Right of Indemnity. Whenever any director or officer of the corporation is made a party to any proceeding, including any derivative action in the right of the corporation, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified against liability and reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding, if the Indemnitee meets the requisite Standard of Conduct and such indemnification is not otherwise prohibited by the laws of the State of Mississippi or these Bylaws. For avoidance of doubt, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification from the corporation under this Section 1 against any liability in a proceeding by the corporation (for purposes of this Section 1, a proceeding by the corporation shall not include derivative actions in the right of the corporation) against such Indemnitee.

“SECTION 2. Standard of Conduct. An Indemnitee meets the Standard of Conduct if the Indemnitee conducted himself or herself in good faith and reasonably believed that (i) any conduct in the Indemnitee’s official capacity was in the best interests of the corporation, (ii) in all other cases, the Indemnitee’s conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or (iii) in any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe the Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. An Indemnitee’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the Indemnitee reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the Standard of Conduct.

“The determination as to whether an Indemnitee has met the Standard of Conduct set forth herein shall be made as follows but is subject to court review as provided in Section 4:

“A. if there are two or more disinterested directors, by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of all the disinterested directors (a majority of whom shall for such purpose constitute a quorum), or by a majority of the members of a committee of two (2) or more disinterested directors appointed by such a vote; or

“B. by special legal counsel selected in the manner prescribed in Subsection A of this Section 2, or, if there are fewer than two (2) disinterested directors, selected by the Board of Directors (in which selection directors who do not qualify as disinterested directors may participate); or

“C. by the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of a director who at the time does not qualify as a disinterested director may not be voted on the determination.

“SECTION 3. Prohibited Indemnification. Unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 79-4-8.54(a)(3) of the Code, no indemnification shall be made in respect to any liability in connection with: (i) a proceeding in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the Indemnitee has met the relevant Standard of Conduct set out above; or (ii) any proceeding with respect to conduct for which the Indemnitee was adjudged liable on the basis that the Indemnitee received a financial benefit to which the Indemnitee was not entitled, whether or not involving action in the Indemnitee’s official capacity.

“SECTION 4. Court Ordered Advance of Expenses and Indemnification. An Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding may apply to the court conducting the proceeding, or to another court of competent jurisdiction, for indemnification or an advance for expenses. After receipt of such an application, and after giving any notice it considers necessary, the court shall:

“A. order indemnification if the court determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 79-4-8.52 of the Code;

“B. order indemnification or advance for expenses if the court determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advance for expenses pursuant to Section 1 of this Article IX;

“C. order indemnification or advance for expenses, if the court determines that, in view of all the relevant circumstances, it is fair and reasonable to indemnify such Indemnitee or to advance expenses to such Indemnitee, even if such Indemnitee has not met the Standard of Conduct, failed to comply with Section 79-4-8.53 of the Code or was adjudged liable in a proceeding referred to in Subsection 79-4- 8.51(d)(1) or (d)(2) of the Code, but if such Indemnitee was adjudged so liable his indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

“If the court determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Subsection A of this Section 4, or to indemnification or advance for expenses under Subsection B of this Section 4, the court shall also order the corporation to pay the Indemnitee’s reasonable expenses incurred in connection with obtaining court-ordered indemnification or advance for expenses. If the court determines that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification or advance for expenses under Subsection C of this Section 4, the court may also order the corporation to pay the Indemnitee’s reasonable expenses to obtain court-ordered indemnification or advance for expenses.

“SECTION 5. Mandatory Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the corporation shall indemnify an Indemnitee who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the Indemnitee was a party because the Indemnitee was a director or officer of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the proceeding.

“SECTION 6. Advance for Expenses. The corporation shall, before final disposition of a proceeding, advance funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding (excluding a proceeding by the corporation. The exclusion shall not include derivative actions in the right of the corporation against an Indemnitee) if (i) the Indemnitee furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the Indemnitee has met the relevant Standard of Conduct for indemnification and (ii) the Indemnitee furnishes the corporation a written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if the Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under Section 5 above and it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee has not met the relevant Standard of Conduct. The written undertaking must be

an unlimited general obligation of the Indemnitee but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of the Indemnitee to make repayment.

“Authorization of an advance for expenses under this Section 6 shall be made as follows but is subject to court review as provided in Section 4:

“A. if there are two or more disinterested directors, by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of all the disinterested directors (a majority of whom shall for such purpose constitute a quorum), or by a majority of the members of a committee of two (2) or more disinterested directors appointed by such a vote; or

“B. if there are fewer than two (2) disinterested directors, by the vote necessary for action by the board in accordance with Section 79-4-8.24(c) of the Code, in which authorization directors who do not qualify as disinterested directors may participate; or

“C. by the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of a director who at the time does not qualify as a disinterested director may not be voted on the authorization.

For avoidance of doubt, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to an advance of funds to pay for the reasonable expenses incurred by a Indemnitee in a proceeding brought by the corporation against such Indemnitee.

“SECTION 7. Right of Corporation to Insure. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or who, while a director or officer of the corporation, serves or served at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify or advance expenses to such person under the provisions of this Article or under the provisions of Mississippi law.

“SECTION 8. Limitations. All indemnification and insurance provisions contained in this Article IX are subject to the limitations and prohibitions imposed by federal law including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, and any implementing regulations concerning indemnification.

“SECTION 9. Provision for Payment. The corporation may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to insure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided in this Article IX.

“SECTION 10. Changes. No revocation of, change in, or adoption of any resolution or provision in the Articles of Incorporation or bylaws of the corporation inconsistent with this Article IX shall adversely affect the rights of any director or officer with respect to (i) any proceeding commenced or threatened prior to such revocation, change or adoption or (ii) any proceeding arising out of any act or omission occurring prior to such revocation, change or adoption, in either case, without the written consent of such director or officer.

“SECTION 11. Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Article IX shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph of this Article IX containing such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article IX (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph of this Article IX containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

“SECTION 12. Employees and Agents. The corporation may grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition,

to any present or former employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article IX with respect to indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the corporation.

“SECTION 13. Enforcement. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement or reimbursement of expenses conferred in this Article IX, as limited by Section 8 hereof, shall be contract rights. If a claim for indemnification or advancement or reimbursement of expenses pursuant to this Article IX is not paid in full by the corporation within 60 days after written demand has been received by the corporation, except in the case of a claim for advancement or reimbursement of expenses, in which the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expenses of prosecuting and defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce the right to indemnification hereunder (or a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement or reimbursement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met the relevant Standard of Conduct. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors or independent legal counsel) to have made determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the relevant Standard of Conduct set forth herein, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors or independent legal counsel) that the Indemnitee has not met such Standard of Conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the relevant Standard of Conduct or, in case of a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement or reimbursement of expenses hereunder, or by the corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement or reimbursement of expenses, under this Article IX or otherwise shall be on the corporation.

“SECTION 14. Non-exclusive Remedy. The rights to indemnification and to advancement or reimbursement of expenses conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

“SECTION 15. Definition of Terms. Unless otherwise specifically provided:

“‘Code’ means the Mississippi Code of 1972, as amended.

“‘Director’ or ‘officer’ means an individual who is or was a director or officer, respectively, of the corporation or who, while a director or officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, non-profit corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, limited liability company, employee benefit plan or other entity. A director or officer is also considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the corporation’s request if his duties to the corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, him to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. The term ‘director’ shall also include emeritus directors and advisory directors of the corporation, any person serving as a director, emeritus director or advisory director of Renasant Bank and any person serving as a member of a State board of Renasant Bank, including, without limitation, the Alabama State Board of Renasant Bank and the Tennessee State Board of Renasant Bank. ‘Director’ or ‘officer’ includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate, heirs, legatees, devisees, executors, administrators and personal representatives of a director or officer. ‘Directors’ and ‘officers’ are sometimes referred to herein individually as an ‘Indemnitee’.

“‘Disinterested director’ means a director who, at the time of a vote referred to in this Article IX or a vote or selection referred to in this Article IX is not (i) a party to the proceeding or (ii) an individual having a familial, financial, professional or employment relationship with the director or officer whose

indemnification or advance for expenses is the subject of the decision being made, which relationship would, in the circumstances, reasonably be expected to exert an influence on the director’s judgment when voting on the decision being made.

“‘Expenses’ shall mean attorneys fees, court costs and investigative expenses.

“‘Liability’ means the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan), interest, other monetary obligations or reasonable expenses (as defined herein) incurred with respect to a proceeding.

“‘Official capacity’ means: (i) when used with respect to a director, the office of director in the corporation and (ii) when used with respect to an officer, the office in the corporation held by an officer. ‘Official capacity’ does not include service for any other domestic or foreign corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other entity.

“‘Party’ means an individual who was, is, or is threatened to be made a defendant or responded in a proceeding.

“‘Proceeding’ means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative and whether formal or informal.”

Renasant maintains an insurance policy insuring the corporation and its directors and officers against certain liabilities.

The Registrant does not have any long-term debt instruments under which securities are authorized exceeding 10% of the total assets of the Registrant and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Registrant will furnish to the SEC, upon its request, a copy of all long-term debt instruments.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
