ITEM 1
BUSINESS

General.

          First Horizon National Corporation (the “Corporation,” “we,” or “us”) is a Tennessee corporation headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee and incorporated in 1968. The Corporation is registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is a financial holding company under the provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. At December 31, 2006, the Corporation had total assets of $37.9 billion and ranked 1st in terms of total assets among Tennessee-headquartered bank holding companies and ranked 27th nationally.

          Through its principal subsidiary, First Tennessee Bank National Association (the “Bank”), and its other banking-related subsidiaries, the Corporation provides diversified financial services through four business segments. The segments reflect the common activities and operations of aggregated business segments across the various delivery channels: Retail/Commercial Banking, Mortgage Banking, and Capital Markets. In addition, the Corporate segment provides essential support within the Corporation. The percentage of consolidated revenues (for this purpose, the sum of net interest income and noninterest income) ascribed to each of our segments for the past three years was: Retail/Commercial Banking, 63% (2006), 56% (2005), and 51% (2004); Mortgage Banking, 22% (2006), 28% (2005), and 29% (2004); Capital Markets, 17% (2006), 15% (2005), and 18% (2004); and Corporate, (2)% (2006), 1% (2005), and 2% (2004). Financial and other additional information concerning our segments appears in the response to Item 7 of Part II hereof and Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report to shareholders. During 2006 approximately 54% of revenues were provided by fee income and approximately 46% of revenues were provided by net interest income. As a financial holding company, the Corporation coordinates the financial resources of the consolidated enterprise and maintains systems of financial, operational and administrative control intended to coordinate selected policies and activities, including as described in Item 9A of Part II hereto.

          The Bank is a national banking association with principal offices in Memphis, Tennessee. It received its charter in 1864. During 2006 through its various business lines, including consolidated subsidiaries, the Bank generated gross revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) of approximately $2.2 billion and contributed substantially all of consolidated net income from continuing operations. At December 31, 2006, the Bank had $37.6 billion in total assets, $20.2 billion in total deposits, and $21.9 billion in total net loans. Among Tennessee headquartered banks, the Bank ranked 1st in Tennessee deposit market share at June 30, 2006.

          On December 31, 2006, the Corporation’s subsidiaries had over 600 business locations in 46 states, excluding off-premises ATMs. Most of those locations were bank financial centers, mortgage offices, national construction offices, and FTN Financial offices. At December 31, 2006, the Bank had 229 financial centers (sometimes referred to as financial center level 5, or FC5, bank branch locations) in six states: 187 FC5s in 17 Tennessee counties, including all of the major metropolitan areas of the state; 11 FC5s in Georgia; 4 FC5s in Maryland; 8 FC5s in Mississippi; 10 FC5s in Texas; and 9 FC5s in Virginia. Nearly all FC5 bank branch locations have on-premises ATMs. The Bank also has off-premises ATMs in its banking markets as well as in several mortgage offices. At December 31, 2006, First Horizon Home Loan Corporation, a subsidiary of the Bank with principal offices in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area, and its affiliates provided mortgage banking services through 356 offices in 45 states. These offices include 40 national construction offices, as well as satellite branches. First Horizon Home Loan Corporation ranked in the top 25 nationally in mortgage loan originations,



and in the top 20 nationally in mortgage loan servicing, at December 31, 2006 as reported by Inside Mortgage Finance. Many banking products and services are offered through many of the mortgage offices, though some products and services are available only through the Bank’s FC5 locations. FTN Financial products and services, at December 31, 2006, were offered through 18 offices in 15 states, and FTN Financial Capital Markets, a division of the Bank, ranked as one of the leading underwriters of U.S. agency debt.

          At December 31, 2006, the Corporation provided the following services through its subsidiaries:

  • general banking services for consumers, businesses, financial institutions, and governments


  • mortgage banking services


  • through FTN Financial – sales, trading, and underwriting of bank-eligible securities and other fixed-income securities eligible for underwriting by financial subsidiaries; distribution of mortgage loans; advisory services; equity sales, trading, and research; and various investment banking services


  • transaction processing – nationwide check clearing services and remittance processing


  • trust, fiduciary, and agency services


  • credit card products


  • discount brokerage and full-service brokerage


  • venture capital


  • equipment finance


  • investment and financial advisory services


  • mutual fund sales as agent


  • retail and commercial insurance sales as agent


  • private mortgage reinsurance


  • services related to health savings accounts

          An element of the Corporation’s business strategy is to seek acquisitions and consider divestitures that would enhance long-term shareholder value. The Corporation has a department charged with this responsibility which is constantly reviewing and developing opportunities to achieve this element of the Corporation’s strategy. Acquisitions and divestitures which closed during the past three years are described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

          All of the Corporation’s operating subsidiaries are listed in Exhibit 21. The Bank has filed notice with the Comptroller of the Currency (“Comptroller” or “OCC”) as a government securities broker/dealer. The FTN Financial Capital Markets division of the Bank is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a municipal securities dealer. The Bank is supervised and regulated as described below. Highland Capital Management Corp., Martin and Company, Inc., First Tennessee Advisory Services, a separately identifiable department of the Bank, FTN Midwest Asset Management Corp., and First Tennessee Brokerage, Inc. are registered with the SEC as investment advisers. Hickory Venture Capital Corporation is licensed as a Small Business Investment Company. First Tennessee Brokerage, Inc., FTN Financial Securities Corp. and FTN Midwest Securities Corp. are registered as broker-dealers with the SEC and all states where they conduct business for which registration is required. Pursuant to federal law, First Horizon Home Loan Corporation is regulated by the Comptroller and, under regulations promulgated by the Comptroller, is exempt from licensing as a mortgage lender in all states where it does business. First Tennessee Insurance Services, Inc. (“FTIS”) and First Horizon Insurance Services, Inc. (“FHIS”) are licensed as insurance agencies in all states where they do business for which licensing is

2



required. FT Reinsurance Company is licensed by the state of South Carolina as a monoline insurance company. FT Insurance Corporation is licensed as an insurance agency in Alabama. Synaxis Group, Inc.’s subsidiaries, which include Polk & Sullivan Group, Inc., Synaxis Insurance Services, Inc., Synaxis Risk Services, Inc., and Merritt & McKenzie, Inc., are licensed as insurance agencies in all states where they do business for which licensing is required. FTN Financial Securities Corp., FTN Midwest Securities Corp., FTN Midwest Asset Management Corp., FHIS, FTIS, and all of the subsidiaries listed in the preceding sentence are financial subsidiaries under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. First Tennessee Brokerage, Inc. is licensed as an insurance agency in the states where it does business for which licensing is required for the sale of annuity products.

          Expenditures for research and development activities were not material in any of the last three fiscal years ended December 31, 2006.

          Neither the Corporation nor any of its significant subsidiaries is dependent upon a single customer or very few customers.

          The Corporation does not experience material seasonality. The Corporation does experience a degree of seasonal variation in revenues and expenses associated primarily with its mortgage banking business, with the result that pre-tax earnings for that business typically are somewhat lower in the late fall and winter and somewhat higher in the late spring and summer.

          At December 31, 2006, the corporation and its subsidiaries had 12,398 employees, or 12,131 full-time-equivalent employees, not including contract labor for certain services.

          For additional information on the business of the Corporation, refer to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition and Glossary sections contained in pages 3 through 52 of the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report to shareholders, which sections are incorporated herein by reference.

          The Corporation’s current internet address is www.fhnc.com. The Corporation makes available free of charge on its Internet website its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments thereto as soon as reasonably practicable after the Corporation files such material with, or furnishes such material to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, as applicable.

Supervision and Regulation.

          The following summary sets forth certain of the material elements of the regulatory framework applicable to bank holding companies and financial holding companies and their subsidiaries and to companies engaged in securities and insurance activities and provides certain specific information about the Corporation. The bank regulatory framework is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the Federal Deposit Insurance Funds and not for the protection of security holders. In addition, certain activities of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to various securities and insurance laws and are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the state insurance departments of the states in which they operate. To the extent that the following information describes statutory and regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by express reference to each of the particular statutory and regulatory provisions. A change in applicable statutes, regulations or regulatory policy may have a material effect on the business of the Corporation.

          General

          The Corporation is a bank holding company and financial holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHCA”) and is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). The Corporation is subject to the regulation and supervision of and examination by the Federal Reserve under the BHCA. The Corporation is required to file with the Federal Reserve annual reports and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require pursuant to the BHCA.

          Under the BHCA, prior to March 13, 2000, bank holding companies could not in general directly or indirectly acquire the ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve, and a bank holding company and its subsidiaries were generally limited to engaging in banking and activities found by the Federal Reserve to be so closely related to banking as to be a proper incident thereto. Since March 13, 2000, eligible bank holding companies that elect to become financial holding companies may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in activities that are “financial in nature” generally without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve. See “Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act” below.

          In addition, the BHCA permits the Federal Reserve to approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire a bank located outside the acquirer’s principal state of operations without regard to whether the transaction is prohibited under state law. See “Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation.” The Tennessee Bank Structure Act of 1974, among other things, prohibits (subject to certain exceptions) a bank holding company from acquiring a bank for which the home state is Tennessee (a “Tennessee bank”) if, upon consummation, the company would directly or indirectly control 30% or more of the total deposits in insured depository institutions in Tennessee. As of June 30, 2006, the Corporation estimates that it held approximately 20.7% of such deposits. Subject to certain exceptions, the Tennessee Bank Structure Act prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring a bank in Tennessee which has been in operation for less than three years. Tennessee law permits a Tennessee bank to establish branches in any county in Tennessee. See also “- Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation” below.

          The Bank is a national banking association subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the Comptroller as its primary federal regulator. In addition, the Bank is insured by, and subject to regulation by, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Bank is also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, including requirements to maintain reserves against deposits, restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon and limitations on the types of investments that may be made, activities that may be engaged in, and types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Bank. In addition to the impact of regulation, commercial banks are affected significantly by the actions of the Federal Reserve as it attempts to control the money supply and credit availability in order to influence the economy.

          Payment of Dividends

          The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from its banking and other subsidiaries. The principal source of cash flow of the Corporation, including cash flow to pay dividends on its stock or principal (premium, if any) and interest on debt securities, is dividends from the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends by the Bank to the Corporation, as well as by the Corporation to its shareholders.

4



          As a national bank, the Bank is required by federal law to obtain the prior approval of the Comptroller for the payment of dividends if the total of all dividends declared by the board of directors of the Bank in any year will exceed the total of (i) its net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for that year plus (ii) the retained net profits (as defined and interpreted by regulation) for the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus. A national bank also can pay dividends only to the extent that retained net profits (including the portion transferred to surplus) exceed bad debts (as defined by regulation).

          If, in the opinion of the applicable federal bank regulatory authority, a depository institution or a holding company is engaged in or is about to engage in an unsafe or unsound practice (which, depending on the financial condition of the depository institution or holding company, could include the payment of dividends), such authority may require that such institution or holding company cease and desist from such practice. The federal banking agencies have indicated that paying dividends that deplete a depository institution’s or holding company’s capital base to an inadequate level would be such an unsafe and unsound banking practice. Moreover, the Federal Reserve, the Comptroller and the FDIC have issued policy statements which provide that bank holding companies and insured depository institutions generally should only pay dividends out of current operating earnings.

          In addition, under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”), an FDIC-insured depository institution may not make any capital distributions (including the payment of dividends) or pay any management fees to its holding company or pay any dividend if it is undercapitalized or if such payment would cause it to become undercapitalized.

          At December 31, 2006, under dividend restrictions imposed under applicable federal laws, the Bank, without obtaining regulatory approval, could legally declare aggregate dividends of approximately $642.7 million.

          Under Tennessee law, the Corporation is not permitted to pay dividends if, after giving effect to such payment, it would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or the Corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus any amounts needed to satisfy any preferential rights if the Corporation was dissolving.

          The payment of dividends by the Corporation and the Bank may also be affected or limited by other factors, such as the requirement to maintain adequate capital above regulatory guidelines and debt covenants.

          Transactions with Affiliates

          There are various legal restrictions on the extent to which the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries (including for purposes of this paragraph, in certain situations, subsidiaries of the Bank) can borrow or otherwise obtain credit from the Bank. There are also legal restrictions on the Bank’s purchases of or investments in the securities of and purchases of assets from the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, the Bank’s loans or extensions of credit to third parties collateralized by the securities or obligations of the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, the issuance of guaranties, acceptances and letters of credit on behalf of the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, and certain bank transactions with the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries, or with respect to which the Corporation and its nonbank subsidiaries act as agent, participate or have a financial interest. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the Bank (including for purposes of this paragraph all subsidiaries of the Bank) may not extend credit to the Corporation or to any other affiliate (other than another subsidiary bank and certain exempted affiliates) in an amount which exceeds 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus and may not extend credit in the aggregate to all such affiliates in an amount which exceeds 20% of its capital

5



stock and surplus. Further, there are legal requirements as to the type, amount and quality of collateral which must secure such extensions of credit by the Bank to the Corporation or to such other affiliates. Also, extensions of credit and other transactions between the Bank and the Corporation or such other affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the Bank as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with non-affiliated companies. Also, the Bank and certain of its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with extensions of credit, leases or sales of property, or furnishing of services.

          Capital Adequacy

          The Federal Reserve has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The minimum guideline for the ratio of total capital (“Total Capital”) to risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as standby letters of credit) is 8%, and the minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital (defined below) to risk-weighted assets is 4%. At least half of the Total Capital must be composed of common stock, minority interests in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock and a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, less any amounts of goodwill, other intangible assets, and other items that are required to be deducted (“Tier 1 Capital”). The remainder may consist of qualifying subordinated debt, certain types of mandatory convertible securities and perpetual debt, other preferred stock and a limited amount of loan loss reserves. At December 31, 2006, the Corporation’s consolidated Total Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios were 13.21% and 8.87%, respectively.

          The Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC, and the OCC have adopted rules to incorporate market and interest-rate risk components into their risk-based capital standards and that explicitly identify concentration of credit risk and certain risks arising from non-traditional activities, and the management of such risks, as important factors to consider in assessing an institution’s overall capital adequacy. Under the market risk requirements, capital is allocated to support the amount of market risk related to a financial institution’s ongoing trading activities for banks with relatively large trading activities. Institutions are able to satisfy any additional capital requirement, in part, by issuing short-term subordinated debt that qualifies as Tier 3 capital. Based on present practices and activity levels, these trading-related market risk rules have no significant impact on the Corporation’s regulatory capital requirements.

          In addition, the Federal Reserve has established minimum leverage ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 Capital to quarterly average assets, less goodwill and certain other intangible assets (the “Leverage Ratio”), of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain specific criteria, including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies generally are required to maintain a Leverage Ratio of at least 3%, plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points. The Corporation’s Leverage Ratio at December 31, 2006, was 6.94%. The guidelines also provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve has indicated that it will consider a “tangible Tier 1 Capital leverage ratio” (deducting all intangibles) and other indicia of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.

          The Bank is subject to risk-based and leverage capital requirements similar to those described above adopted by the Comptroller. The Corporation believes that the Bank was in compliance with applicable minimum capital requirements as of December 31, 2006. Neither the Corporation nor the Bank has been advised by any federal banking agency of any specific minimum Leverage Ratio requirement applicable to it.

6



          Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a bank to a variety of enforcement remedies, including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC, and to certain restrictions on its business and in certain circumstances to the appointment of a conservator or receiver. See “––Prompt Corrective Action” at page 8.

          In 1999, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision launched its efforts to develop an improved capital adequacy framework by issuing its proposals to revise the 1988 Capital Accord. The new capital framework (Basel II) would consist of minimum capital requirements, a supervisory review process, and the effective use of market discipline. Basel II would seek to ensure that a bank’s capital position is consistent with its overall risk profile and strategy, encourage early supervisory intervention when a bank’s capital position deteriorates, and call for detailed disclosure of a bank’s capital adequacy and how it evaluates its own capital adequacy.

          In June 2004, the Basel Committee issued its final framework. In September 2006 the U.S. regulators published a revised Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Basel II. Under the proposed rules the Corporation would not be considered a core bank that would be required to implement the new rules but could evaluate whether to opt in. For those non-core banks that do not opt in, a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) was issued in December 2006, known as Basel IA, which proposed certain revision to the current Basel I capital rules. The regulators have coordinated the issuance of the Basel II NPR with the issuance of a Basel IA NPR in a manner that will allow for some overlap in the comment period through March 2007 to allow the effects of the two proposals to be evaluated side by side. The Corporation cannot predict at this time the final form the U.S. Regulators’ rules will take, or the effect they would have on the financial condition or results of operations of the Bank or the Corporation. The Corporation intends to continue to monitor the evolution of the proposed rulemaking and its potential impacts to the Corporation and the industry.

          Holding Company Structure and Support of Subsidiary Banks

          Because the Corporation is a holding company, its right to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latter’s liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary’s creditors (including depositors in the case of the Bank) except to the extent that the Corporation may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. In addition, depositors of a bank, and the FDIC as their subrogee, would be entitled to priority over the creditors in the event of liquidation of a bank subsidiary.

          Under Federal Reserve policy, the Corporation is expected to act as a source of financial strength to, and to commit resources to support, the Bank. This support may be required at times when, absent such Federal Reserve policy, the Corporation may not be inclined to provide it. In addition, any capital loans by a bank holding company to any of its subsidiary banks are subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of such subsidiary bank. In the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a priority of payment.

          Cross-Guarantee Liability

          Under the FDIA, a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to any commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution “in danger of default.” “Default” is

7



defined generally as the appointment of a conservator or receiver and “in danger of default” is defined generally as the existence of certain conditions indicating that a default is likely to occur in the absence of regulatory assistance. The FDIC’s claim for damages is superior to claims of shareholders of the insured depository institution or its holding company but is subordinate to claims of depositors, secured creditors and holders of subordinated debt (other than affiliates) of the commonly controlled insured depository institution. The Bank is currently the only depository institution owned by the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation established or acquired another depository institution, any loss suffered by the FDIC in respect of one subsidiary bank would likely result in assertion of the cross-guarantee provisions, the assessment of such estimated losses against the Corporation’s other subsidiary bank(s), and a potential loss of the Corporation’s investment in such subsidiary bank.

          Prompt Corrective Action

          The FDIA requires, among other things, the federal banking regulators to take “prompt corrective action” in respect of FDIC-insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. Under the FDIA, insured depository institutions are divided into five capital tiers: “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” Under applicable regulations, an institution is defined to be well capitalized if it maintains a Leverage Ratio of at least 5%, a Tier 1 Capital ratio of at least 6% and a Total Capital ratio of at least 10% and is not subject to a directive, order or written agreement to meet and maintain specific capital levels. An institution is defined to be adequately capitalized if it meets all of its minimum capital requirements as described above. An institution will be considered undercapitalized if it fails to meet any minimum required measure, significantly undercapitalized if it has a Total Risk-Based Capital ratio of less than 6%, a Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio of less than 3% or a Leverage Ratio of less than 3% and critically undercapitalized if it fails to maintain a level of tangible equity equal to at least 2% of total assets. An institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating.

          The FDIA generally prohibits an FDIC-insured depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of dividends) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to restrictions on borrowing from the Federal Reserve System. In addition, undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to growth limitations and are required to submit capital restoration plans. An insured depository institution’s holding company must guarantee the capital plan, up to an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the depository institution’s assets at the time it becomes undercapitalized or the amount of the capital deficiency when the institution fails to comply with the plan, for the plan to be accepted by the applicable federal regulatory authority. The federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution’s capital. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.

          Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator, generally within 90 days of the date on which they become critically undercapitalized.

          The Corporation believes that at December 31, 2006, the Bank had sufficient capital to qualify as “well capitalized” under the regulatory capital requirements discussed above.

          Interstate Banking and Branching Legislation

          The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the “IBBEA”) authorized two methods of interstate expansion by banks and bank holding companies without geographic limitation.

          According to IBBEA, a bank may merge with a bank in another state and continue to operate the merged bank’s branches as interstate branches. IBBEA allowed states to opt out of allowing the operation of interstate branches pursuant to merger transactions, if they did so by May 31, 1997. Two states, Texas and Montana, enacted such opt-out legislation, but both of these states have since enacted legislation to allow interstate branching through merger transactions. Tennessee did not opt out of interstate branching.

          For merger transactions, states may impose restrictions on such transactions. Many states have requirements for a minimum period of time that a bank must have been in existence before a merger is allowed. According to IBBEA, the maximum period allowed for such age restrictions is five years. Additionally, national and state deposit concentration limits apply to interstate mergers.

          IBBEA also provides that a bank may establish and operate a de novo branch or acquire an existing branch in a state in which a bank is not headquartered and does not maintain a branch if the host state permits de novo branching. Various states permit de novo branching, and some states require reciprocal branching statutes to allow de novo branching. Tennessee permits de novo branching on a reciprocal basis.

          Once a bank has established branches in a state through an interstate merger transaction or through de novo branching, the bank may then establish and acquire additional branches within that state to the same extent that a state chartered bank is allowed to establish or acquire branches within the state.

          Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

          The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 repealed or modified a number of significant provisions of then-current laws, including the Glass-Steagall Act and the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, which imposed restrictions on banking organizations’ ability to engage in certain types of activities. The Act generally allows bank holding companies such as the Corporation broad authority to engage in activities that are financial in nature or incidental to such a financial activity, including insurance underwriting and brokerage; merchant banking; securities underwriting, dealing and market-making; real estate development; and such additional activities as the Federal Reserve in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury determines to be financial in nature or incidental thereto. A bank holding company may engage in these activities directly or through subsidiaries by qualifying as a “financial holding company.” To qualify a bank holding company must file a declaration with the Federal Reserve and certify that all of its subsidiary depository institutions are well-managed and well-capitalized. The Act also permits national banks such as the Bank to engage in certain of these activities through financial subsidiaries. To control or hold an interest in a financial subsidiary, a national bank must meet the following requirements: (1) the national bank must receive approval from the Comptroller for the financial subsidiary to engage in the activities, (2) the national bank and its depository institution affiliates must each be well-capitalized and well-managed, (3) the aggregate consolidated total assets of all of the national bank’s financial subsidiaries must not exceed 45% of the national bank’s consolidated total assets or, if less, $50 billion, (4) the national bank must have in place adequate policies and procedures to identify and manage financial and operational risks and to preserve the separate identities and limited liability of the national bank and the financial subsidiary, and (5) if the financial subsidiary will engage in principal transactions and the national bank is one of the one hundred largest banks, the national bank must have outstanding at

9



least one issue of unsecured long-term debt that is currently rated in one of the three highest investment grade rating categories (or if in the second fifty largest banks, an alternative requirement is that the national bank has a current long-term issuer credit rating within the three highest investment grade rating categories). No new financial activity may be commenced under the Act unless the national bank and all of its depository institution affiliates have at least “satisfactory” CRA ratings. Certain restrictions apply if the bank holding company or the national bank fails to continue to meet one or more of the requirements listed above. In addition, the Act contains a number of other provisions that may affect the Bank’s operations, including functional regulation of the Bank’s securities and investment management operations by the SEC and the Bank’s insurance operations by the States and limitations on the use and disclosure to third parties of customer information. The Corporation is a financial holding company and the Bank has a number of financial subsidiaries.

          FDIC Insurance Assessments; DIFA

          The Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) was formed in March 2006 when the FDIC merged the Bank Insurance Fund with the Savings Association Insurance Fund pursuant to the the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (“2005 Reform Act”). The FDIC insurance premium charged on bank deposits insured by the DIF ranged from 0 to 27 cents per $100 of deposits, depending on the institution’s risk classification, based on capital and supervisory risk factors. In late 2006 the FDIC adopted new regulations that change the risk category and DIF premium structures beginning in 2007. The new rates are based on four new Risk Categories that in turn are based on asset size as well as capital, supervisory, credit, and other risk factors. Somewhat different factors are used for institutions in different situations. The new rates range from 5 to 7 cents per $100 of deposits for institutions in Risk Category I, up to 43 cents for institutions in Risk Category IV. As part of the 2005 Reform Act, Congress provided credits to certain institutions that paid high premiums in the past to bolster the FDIC’s insurance reserves; as a result, an institution may have credits reduce or eliminate DIF premiums in 2007.

          The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (“DIFA”) provides for assessments to be imposed on insured depository institutions with respect to deposits insured by the DIF to pay for the cost of Financing Corporation (“FICO”) bonds. All banks are assessed to pay the interest due on FICO bonds. The FICO assessment cost to the Corporation on an annual basis is immaterial.

          Under the FDIA, insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the institution has engaged in unsafe and unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by a federal bank regulatory agency.

          Depositor Preference

          Federal law provides that deposits and certain claims for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured depository institution would be afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims against such an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in the “liquidation or other resolution” of such an institution by any receiver.

          Securities Regulation

          Certain of the Corporation’s subsidiaries are subject to various securities laws and regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the jurisdictions in which they operate.

10



          The Corporation’s registered broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the SEC’s net capital rule, Rule 15c3-1. That rule requires the maintenance of minimum net capital and limits the ability of the broker-dealer to transfer large amounts of capital to a parent company or affiliate. Compliance with the rule could limit operations that require intensive use of capital, such as underwriting and trading.

          Certain of the Corporation’s subsidiaries and a division of the Bank are registered investment advisers who are regulated under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Advisory contracts with clients automatically terminate under these laws upon an assignment of the contract by the investment adviser unless appropriate consents are obtained.

          In early 2007, the SEC and Federal Reserve Board proposed regulations that would expand significantly the SEC’s ability to regulate securities businesses conducted by banks and their subsidiaries. Regulation by the SEC could affect how the Corporation conducts those businesses in the future. Those regulations were proposed in response to a Congressional mandate in the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006.

          Insurance Activities

          Subsidiaries of the Corporation sell various types of insurance as agent in a number of the states. Insurance activities are subject to regulation by the states in which such business is transacted. Although most of such regulation focuses on insurance companies and their insurance products, insurance agents and their activities are also subject to regulation by the states, including, among other things, licensing and marketing and sales practices.

Competition.

          The Corporation and its subsidiaries face substantial competition in all aspects of the businesses in which they engage from national and state banks located in Tennessee and large out-of-state and non-U.S. banks as well as from savings and loan associations, credit unions, other financial institutions, consumer finance companies, trust companies, investment counseling firms, money market and other mutual funds, insurance companies and agencies, securities firms, mortgage banking companies, and others. For certain information on the competitive position of the Corporation and the Bank, refer to the “General” subsection above of this Item 1. Also, refer to the subsections entitled “Supervision and Regulation” and “Effect of Governmental Policies,” both of which are relevant to an analysis of the Corporation’s competitors. Due to the intense competition in the financial services industry, the Corporation makes no representation that its competitive position has remained constant, nor can it predict whether its position will change in the future.

Sources and Availability of Funds.

          Specific reference is made to the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Glossary sections, including the subsection entitled “Liquidity Management,” contained in pages 3 through 52 (including pages 25 through 28) of the Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report to shareholders, which sections are incorporated herein by reference.

Effect of Governmental Policies.

          The Bank is affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve System and the Comptroller. An important function of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the national money supply.

11



          Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve are: purchases and sales of U.S. Government securities in the marketplace; changes in the discount rate, which is the rate any depository institution must pay to borrow from the Federal Reserve; and changes in the reserve requirements of depository institutions. These instruments are effective in influencing economic and monetary growth, interest rate levels and inflation.

          The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System and other governmental policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. Because of changing conditions in the national and international economy and in the money market, as well as the result of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities, it is not possible to predict with certainty future changes in interest rates, deposit levels, loan demand or the business and earnings of the Corporation and the Bank or whether the changing economic conditions will have a positive or negative effect on operations and earnings.

          Various bills are from the time to time introduced in the United States Congress and the Tennessee General Assembly and other state legislatures, and regulations are proposed by the regulatory agencies which could affect the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. It cannot be predicted whether or in what form any of these proposals will be adopted or the extent to which the business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries may be affected thereby.

ITEM 1A
RISK FACTORS

          This item outlines specific risks that could affect the ability of our various businesses to compete, change our risk profile, or eventually impact our financial results. The risks we face generally are similar to those experienced, to varying degrees, by all financial services companies.

          Our strategies and management’s ability to react to changing competitive and economic environments have enabled us historically to compete effectively and manage risks to acceptable levels. However, our operating environment continues to evolve and new risks continue to emerge. To address that challenge we have established an enterprise-wide risk management committee that oversees processes for monitoring evolving risks and oversees various initiatives designed to manage and control our potential exposure.

          We have outlined potential risk factors below that we presently believe could be important to us; however, other risks may prove to be important in the future. New risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict with certainty all potential developments which could affect our financial performance. The following discussion highlights potential risks which could intensify over time or shift dynamically in a way that might change our risk profile. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this report (including the material incorporated into this report), among the factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from our past results and from expectations are those discussed in this item.

Forward-Looking Statements

          This report, including materials incorporated into it, may contain forward-looking statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, goals, expectations, and estimates. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not a representation of historical information but rather are related to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “should,” “is likely,” “will,” “going forward,” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.

          Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, operational, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond any company's control, and many of which, with respect to

14



future business decisions and actions (including acquisitions and divestitures), are subject to change. Examples of uncertainties and contingencies include, among other important factors: general and local economic and business conditions; expectations of and actual timing and amount of interest rate movements, including the slope of the yield curve, which can have a significant impact on a financial services institution; market and monetary fluctuations; inflation or deflation; investor responses to these conditions; the financial condition of borrowers and other counterparties; competition within and outside the financial services industry; geopolitical developments including possible terrorist activity; natural disasters; effectiveness of our hedging practices; technology; demand for our product offerings; new products and services in the industries in which we operate; and critical accounting estimates.

          Other factors are those inherent in originating and servicing loans including prepayment risks, pricing concessions, fluctuation in U.S. housing prices, fluctuation of collateral values, and changes in customer profiles. Additionally, the actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and its affiliates, and other regulators; regulatory, administrative, and judicial proceedings and changes in laws and regulations applicable to us; and our success in executing our business plans and strategies and managing the risks involved in the foregoing, could cause actual results to differ. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements that are made in this report or in any other statement, release, report, or filing from time to time. Actual results could differ because of one or more factors, including those presented below, in other sections of this report, or in material incorporated by reference into this report. Readers of this report should carefully consider the factors discussed in this Item below, among others, in evaluating forward-looking statements and assessing our prospects.

Competition Risks

          Like all financial services companies, we compete for customers. Our primary areas of competition include: retail and commercial deposits and bank loans, wealth management, home mortgage loans and lines of credit, mortgage servicing, capital markets products and services, and other consumer and business financial products and services. Our competitors in these areas include national, state, and non-US banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer finance companies, trust companies, investment counseling firms, money market and other mutual funds, insurance companies and agencies, securities firms, mortgage banking companies, and other financial services companies that serve the markets which we serve. We expect that competition will continue to grow more intense with respect to most of our products and services. For additional information regarding competition for customers, refer to the “Competition” heading of Part I, Item 1 beginning on page 11 of this report.

          While we face competition for customers, we also compete for financial capital (see “Financing, Funding, and Liquidity Risks” beginning on page 18 of this report) and to acquire and retain the human capital we need to thrive. Labor markets change over time; the segments of that market most useful to us may contract with demographic shifts relating to age, birth rates, education levels, geography, local or regional economic conditions, and other factors. Some of the keys to our ability to manage our competitive challenges are:

  • Our leading position in many of our markets and business lines


  • Our historical growth and retention of consumer and business customers


  • Historically strong employee value and loyalty ratings and national workplace recognition resulting in attraction and retention of high performing employees

          Using those factors and others, we have focused on the delivery of products and services in a manner that maximizes the value our customers obtain from their relationships with us, and we have developed

15



strategies that have enabled us to gain market share in our targeted markets over time. We also have developed strategies to attract customers and talent that are displaced when competitors merge.

Growth Risks

          Every organization faces risks associated with growth. Our growth in recent years has resulted primarily from a combination of: our national expansion strategy in banking; acquisition of customers from competitors that have merged with each other; and targeted non-bank business acquisitions.

          Our national expansion strategy is primarily organic. Our strategy is to expand our banking business in selected national markets by building on our mortgage customer relationships in those markets. Our strategy is unusual in the financial services industry; many banks elect to become national in scope by acquiring large local and regional banks in targeted geographic areas. We believe our national expansion strategy should reduce some of the costs and risks associated with the acquisition model. The successful execution of our strategy depends upon a number of key elements, including:

  • our ability to successfully penetrate new markets at a reasonable cost and within a reasonable time frame;


  • our ability to cross-sell our home mortgage customers into bank products and services;


  • our ability to attract and retain commercial and other non-mortgage customers;


  • our ability to develop profitable customer relationships while expanding our existing information processing, technology, and other operational infrastructures effectively and efficiently; and


  • our ability to manage the liquidity and capital requirements associated with such growth.

We have in place a number of strategies designed to achieve each of those elements. Our challenge is to execute those strategies and adjust them as conditions change.

          To the extent we engage in bank or non-bank business acquisitions, we face various risks associated with that practice, including:

  • our ability to identify, analyze, and correctly assess the contingent risks in the acquisition and to price the transaction appropriately;


  • our ability to integrate the acquired company into our operations quickly and cost-effectively;


  • our ability to integrate the name recognition and goodwill of the acquired company with our own; and,


  • our ability to retain customers and key employees of the acquired company.

          To grow effectively, sometimes a company must consider disposing of businesses or units that no longer fit into management’s plans for the future. Key risks associated with dispositions include:

  • our ability to price the transaction appropriately and otherwise negotiate appropriate terms;


  • our ability to identify and implement key customer and other transition actions to avoid or minimize negative effects on retained businesses; and


  • our ability to assess and manage any loss of synergies that the disposed business had with our retained businesses.

Credit Risks

          Like all other lenders, we face the risk that our customers may not repay their loans and that the realizable value of collateral may be insufficient to avoid a loss. In our business some level of credit loss

16



is unavoidable and overall levels of credit loss can vary over time. In 2006, for example, indicators of credit strength for us began the year at unusually strong levels but moderated throughout the year, roughly paralleling a similar trend in the financial services industry. Our ability to manage credit risks depends primarily upon our ability to assess the creditworthiness of customers and the value of collateral, including real estate. We control credit risk by diversifying our loan portfolio and managing its granularity, and by recording and managing an allowance for expected loan losses based on the factors mentioned above and in accordance with applicable accounting rules. We also record loan charge-offs in accordance with accounting and regulatory guidelines and rules. These guidelines and rules could change and cause charge-offs to increase for reasons related or unrelated to the underlying performance of our portfolio; such changes by the OCC and other banking agencies have been common in recent years. This risk is shared with all financial institutions. The models and approaches we use to originate and manage loans are regularly updated to take into account changes in the competitive environment, in real estate prices and other collateral values, and in the economy, among other things, based on our experience originating loans and servicing loan portfolios. Additional information concerning credit risks and our management of them is set forth under the captions “Credit Risk Management” beginning on page 29, “Foreclosure Reserves” beginning on page 43, and “Allowance for Loan Losses” beginning on page 44, of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report.

Risk From Economic Downturns and Changes

          Delinquencies and credit losses generally increase during economic downturns due to an increase in liquidity problems for customers and downward pressure on collateral values. Likewise, demand for loans (at a given level of creditworthiness), deposit products, fixed income products, and financial services may decline during an economic downturn, and may be adversely affected by other national, regional, or local economic factors that impact demand for loans and other financial products and services such as (for example) changes in interest rates, real estate prices, or expectations concerning rates or prices. Accordingly, an economic downturn or other adverse economic change (local, regional, or national) can hurt our financial performance in the form of higher loan losses, lower loan production levels, lower deposit levels, and lower fees from transactions and services. These risks are faced by all financial services companies and we have in place processes and tools that we believe allow us to monitor and manage those risks.

Hedge Risks

          In the normal course of our businesses, including (among others) banking, mortgage, and capital markets, we attempt to create partial or full economic hedges of various financial risks. We do that primarily by using derivative instruments or by engaging in business activities that are countercyclical to the risks at issue. Our hedging activities are discussed in more detail in various places under the following captions of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report: “Risk Management,” beginning on page 23; and, “Critical Accounting Policies,” beginning on page 38. Hedging creates certain risks for us, including the risk that the other party to the hedge transaction will fail to perform (counterparty risk, which is a type of credit risk), and the risk that the hedge will not fully protect us from loss as intended (hedge failure risk). Although we actively manage those risks, unexpected counterparty failure or hedge failure could have a significant adverse effect on our liquidity and earnings.

17



Reputation Risks

          Our ability to conduct and grow our businesses, and to obtain and retain customers, is highly dependent upon external perceptions of our business practices and our financial stability. Our reputation is, therefore, a key asset for us. Our reputation is affected principally by our own practices and how those practices are perceived and understood by others. Adverse perceptions regarding the practices of our competitors, or our industry as a whole, also may adversely impact our reputation. In addition, adverse perceptions relating to parties with whom we have important relationships may adversely impact our reputation.

          Damage to our reputation could hinder our ability to access the capital markets, could hamper our ability to attract new customers and retain existing ones, could create or aggravate regulatory difficulties, and could undermine our ability to attract and retain talented employees, among other things. Adverse impacts on our reputation, or the reputation of our industry, may also result in greater regulatory and/or legislative scrutiny, which may lead to laws or regulations that change or constrain our business or operations. Events that result in damage to our reputation also may increase our litigation risk.

          As with all other risks, we actively devote significant resources to safeguard our reputation. Senior management oversees processes for reputation risk monitoring, assessment, and management.

Operational Risks

          Our ability to grow is dependent in part upon our ability to create and maintain an appropriate operational and organizational infrastructure, manage expenses as we expand, and recruit and retain personnel with the ability to manage an increasingly complex business. Operational risk can arise in many ways, including: errors related to failed or inadequate processes; faulty or disabled computer systems; fraud, theft, physical security breaches, electronic data and related security breaches, or other criminal conduct by employees or third parties; and exposure to other external events.

          In addition, we outsource some of our operational functions to third parties. Those third parties may experience similar errors or disruptions that could adversely impact us and over which we may have limited control and, in some cases, limited ability to quickly obtain an alternate vendor. To the extent we increase our reliance on third party vendors to perform or assist operational functions, the challenge of managing the associated risks becomes more difficult.

          Failure to build and maintain the necessary operational infrastructure, or failure of our disaster preparedness plans if primary infrastructure components suffer damage, can lead to risk of loss of service to customers, legal actions, or noncompliance with applicable laws or regulatory standards. Operational risk is specifically managed through internal monitoring, measurement, and assessment by line management and oversight of processes by top management; regulatory guidance for mitigating operational risk is followed. Additional information concerning operational risks and our management of them appears under the caption “Operational Risk Management” beginning on page 29 of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report.

Financing, Funding, and Liquidity Risks

          Management of liquidity and related risks is a key function for our business. Additional information concerning liquidity risk management is set forth under the caption “Liquidity Management” beginning on page 25 of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and

18



Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report.

          Our funding requirements currently are met principally by deposits, financing from other financial institutions, and financing using the capital markets. In general, the costs of our funding directly impact our costs of doing business and, therefore, can positively or negatively affect our financial results.

          A number of factors could make such funding more difficult, more expensive, or unavailable on affordable terms, including, but not limited to, our financial results, organizational changes, adverse impacts on our reputation, changes in the activities of our business partners, disruptions in the capital markets, specific events that adversely impact the financial services industry, counterparty availability, changes affecting our loan portfolio or other assets, changes affecting our corporate and regulatory structure, interest rate fluctuations, ratings agency actions, general economic conditions, and the legal, regulatory, accounting, and tax environments governing our funding transactions. In addition, our ability to raise funds is strongly affected by the general state of the U.S. and world economies and financial markets, and may become increasingly difficult due to economic and other factors.

          We depend significantly on our ability to sell or securitize first and second mortgage loans and home equity line of credit loans (which we refer to as HELOC). Those actions involve the sale of whole loans or of beneficial interests in loans. Although the market for loans is substantial, if it experiences difficulties we may be unable to sell or securitize our mortgage or HELOC loans at favorable pricing levels, or at all. If we were unable to continue to sell or securitize our loans at current levels, we would seek alternative funding sources to fund loan originations and meet our other liquidity needs. If we were unable to find cost-effective and stable alternatives, that failure could negatively impact our liquidity and could potentially increase our cost of funds and lower our loan growth.

          When we sell or securitize mortgage and HELOC loans, we sometimes do so with limited or full recourse, which means, in effect, that we will take some or significant financial responsibility for the loan if it defaults. Additional information concerning these risks is set forth under the caption “Foreclosure Reserves” beginning on page 43 of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report. In many instances, we sell or securitize loans with no recourse. However, if a loan sold with no recourse defaults, we could still bear responsibility to the buyer in many cases if the loan defaults shortly after the sale, typically in the first 90 days, or if the loan did not conform to representations we made to the buyer at the time of sale. We manage the early default risk through our credit review processes, and we manage the risk of non-conformity through origination and documentation controls and procedures, and through post-closing quality control processes.

          Rating agencies assign credit ratings to issuers and their debt. In that role, agencies directly affect the availability and cost of our funding. The Corporation and the Bank currently receive ratings from several rating entities for unsecured borrowings. A rating below investment grade typically reduces availability and increases the cost of market-based funding. A debt rating of Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service, or BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings, is considered investment grade for many purposes. Currently, all three rating agencies rate the unsecured senior debt of the Corporation and the Bank as investment grade; however, during 2006 all three agencies changed their view of our outlook from ‘stable’ to ‘negative’ even though their ratings did not change. Because we depend on institutional borrowing and the capital markets for funding and capital, we could experience reduced liquidity and increased cost of funding if our debt ratings were lowered, particularly if lowered below investment grade. Please note that a credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold

19



securities, is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time, and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

          Regulatory laws or rules that establish minimum capital levels, regulate deposit insurance, and govern related funding matters for banks could be changed in a manner that could increase our overall cost of capital and thus reduce our earnings.

Interest Rate and Yield Curve Risks

          A significant portion of our business involves borrowing and lending money. Accordingly, changes in interest rates directly impact our revenues and expenses, and potentially could compress our net interest margin. We actively manage our balance sheet to control the risks of a reduction in net interest margin brought about by ordinary fluctuations in rates. Additional information concerning those risks and our management of them appears under the caption “Interest Rate Risk Management” beginning on page 23 of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report.

          Our mortgage lending and servicing businesses also are affected by changes in interest rates. Generally, when rates increase, demand for mortgage loans and HELOC decrease (and our revenues from new originations fall), and when rates decrease, demand increases (and our origination revenues increase). In a contrary fashion, when interest rates increase, the value of mortgage servicing rights (MSR) that we retain generally increases, and when rates decline the value of MSR declines. Within our mortgage businesses, therefore, there is a partial natural hedge against ordinary interest rate changes. Additional information concerning those risks and our management of them appears under the caption “Mortgage Servicing Rights and Other Related Retained Interests” beginning on page 39 of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report.

          Our mortgage lending business is affected by changes in interest rates in another manner. During the period of loan origination (when loans are in the “pipeline”) and prior to the loan’s sale in the secondary market (when loans are in the “warehouse”), we are exposed to the risk of interest rate changes for those pipeline loans as to which we have agreed to lock in the customer’s mortgage rate and for all warehouse loans that bear a fixed rate. We manage that rate-change risk through hedging activities and other methods. Additional information concerning those risks and our management of them appears under the caption “Pipeline and Warehouse” beginning on page 42 of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report.

          Like all financial services companies, we face the risks of abnormalities in the yield curve. The yield curve simply shows the interest rates applicable to short and long term debt. The curve is steep when short-term rates are much lower than long-term rates; it is flat when short-term rates are equal, or nearly equal, to long-term rates; and it is inverted when short-term rates exceed long-term rates. Historically, the yield curve normally is relatively steep. However, during much of 2006 the yield curve was inverted and the degree of inversion generally worsened as the year progressed. A flat or inverted yield curve tends to decrease net interest margin, as the warehouse yields narrow relative to their short-term funding sources, and it tends to reduce demand for long-term debt securities, adversely impacting the revenues of our capital markets business.

20



          Lastly, expectations by the market regarding the direction of future interest rate movements, particularly long-term rates, can impact the demand for long-term debt which in turn can impact the revenues of our capital markets business. That risk is most apparent during times when strong expectations have not yet been reflected in market rates, or when expectations are especially weak or uncertain.

Securities Inventories and Market Risks

          Our capital markets business buys and sells various types of securities for its customers. In the course of that business we hold inventory positions and are exposed to certain risks of market fluctuations. In addition, we are exposed to credit risk and interest rate risk associated with debt securities. We manage the risks of holding inventories of securities through certain policies and procedures, including hedging activities related to certain interest rate risks. Additional information concerning those risks and our management of them appears under the caption “Market Risk Management” beginning on page 29 of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders, which is part of the material from that Report that has been incorporated by reference into Item 7 of Part II of this report, and in the “Credit Risks” discussion beginning on page 16 of this report.

          In addition, we earn fees and other income related to our brokerage business and our management of assets for customers. Declines, disruptions, or precipitous changes in market prices can adversely affect those revenue sources.

Venture Capital Risks

          Our venture capital business is inherently volatile. The companies we invest in tend to be much less mature, smaller, and much more unproven than a typical public company. Accordingly, those investments carry a substantial risk of loss. Venture capital investments also are inherently illiquid. Success in this business can only be assessed in the long term and depends to a very large extent upon the ability of management to find sound investment prospects, negotiate financially appropriate investment terms, and oversee each investment as the company uses the venture capital and develops. In the short term, venture capital losses are not uncommon even if the business proves to be successful in the long term.

Regulatory and Legal Risks

          We operate in a heavily regulated industry and therefore are subject to many banking, deposit, insurance, insurance brokerage, securities brokerage and underwriting, and consumer lending regulations in addition to the rules applicable to all companies publicly traded in the U.S. securities markets and, in particular, on the New York Stock Exchange. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in financial, structural, and operational penalties. In addition, efforts to comply with applicable regulations may increase our costs and/or limit our ability to pursue certain business opportunities. See “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1 of this report, beginning on page 3 above, for additional information concerning financial industry regulations. Federal and state regulations significantly limit the types of activities in which we, as a financial institution, may engage. In addition, we are subject to a wide array of other regulations that govern other aspects of how we conduct our business, such as in the areas of employment and intellectual property. Federal and state legislative and regulatory authorities occasionally consider changing these regulations or adopting new ones. Such actions could limit the amount of interest or fees we can charge, could restrict our ability to collect loans or realize on collateral, or could materially affect us in other ways. Additional federal and state consumer protection regulations also could expand the privacy protections afforded to customers of financial institutions, restricting our

21



ability to share or receive customer information and increasing our costs. In addition, changes in accounting rules can significantly affect how we record and report assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and earnings.

          Some state authorities have challenged the position of the OCC that it is the exclusive regulator of various aspects of national banks or their operating subsidiaries. If one or more of those challenges are successful or if Congress were to change the applicable banking laws, we could be impacted significantly, due, among other things, to possible increased regulatory burdens, governmental and private party actions alleging non-compliance with state law, and the expense of tracking and complying with the different laws and regulations of nearly all 50 states.

          We also face litigation risks from customers (singly or in class actions) and from federal or state regulators. Litigation is an unavoidable part of doing business, and we manage those risks through internal controls, personnel training, insurance, litigation management, our compliance and ethics processes, and other means. However, the commencement, outcome, and magnitude of litigation cannot be predicted or controlled with certainty.

Accounting Estimate Risks

          The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make significant estimates that affect the financial statements. Two of our most critical estimates are the level of the allowance for credit losses and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. However, other estimates occasionally become highly significant, especially in volatile situations such as litigation and other loss contingency matters. Estimates are made at specific points in time; as actual events unfold, estimates are adjusted accordingly. Due to the inherent nature of these estimates, it is possible that, at some time in the future, we may significantly increase the allowance for credit losses and/or sustain credit losses that are significantly higher than the provided allowance, or we may recognize a significant provision for impairment of our mortgage servicing rights, or we may make some other adjustment that will differ materially from the estimates that we make today. For additional information concerning the sensitivity of these estimates, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies” beginning on page 38 of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition section of our 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Risks of Expense Control

          Expenses and other costs directly affect our earnings. Our ability to successfully manage expenses is important to our long-term survival. Many factors can influence the amount of our expenses, as well as how quickly they grow. As our businesses change or expand, additional expenses can arise from asset purchases, structural reorganization, evolving business strategies, and changing regulations, among other things. We manage expense growth and risk through a variety of means, including selectively outsourcing or multi-sourcing various functions and procurement coordination and processes.

Geographic Risks

          Our mortgage and capital markets businesses are national in scope. Our national expansion strategy is making our banking business national as well, with full-service branches in several states and many banking products being sold through mortgage offices across the U.S. At present, however, a disproportionate fraction of our traditional banking business remains grounded in, and depends upon, the major Tennessee markets. As a result, to a greater degree than many of our competitors that operate nationally or in much broader regions, our banking business currently is exposed to adverse economic,

22



regulatory, natural disaster, and other risks that might primarily impact Tennessee and the mid-South region of the U.S.

Declaration of Covenant
Relating To
The Bank’s Class A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock

          On March 23, 2005, the Bank issued 300,000 shares of Class A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Bank Preferred Stock”). That issuance was the subject of the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 24, 2005. The Bank made a Declaration of Covenant dated as of July 20, 2005 (“Declaration”) in connection with the Bank Preferred Stock. The Declaration was the subject of Item 8.01 of the Corporation’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 22, 2005. Under the Declaration, the Bank has promised to redeem shares of the Bank Preferred Stock only if and to the extent that the redemption price is equal to or less than the New Equity Amount as of the date of redemption. “New Equity Amount” means, on any date, the net proceeds to the Bank or subsidiaries of the Bank received during the six months prior to such date from new issuances of common stock of the Bank or of other securities or combinations of securities that

           (i)      qualify as Tier 1 capital of the Bank, and
 
  (ii)    as reasonably determined in good faith by the Bank’s Board of Directors, (x) on a liquidation or dissolution of the Bank rank pari passu with or junior to the Bank Preferred Stock (or, if all of the Bank Preferred Stock has been redeemed, would have ranked pari passu with or junior to the Bank Preferred Stock had it remained outstanding), (y) are perpetual, with no prepayment obligation on the part of the issuer, whether at the election of holders or otherwise (although such securities may be subject to early redemption at the option of the issuer), and (z) dividends or other distributions on which are non-cumulative;

provided, however, that the net proceeds of such securities or combinations of securities (A) if issued to any affiliate of the Bank other than the Corporation, shall not qualify as a New Equity Amount and (B) if issued to the Corporation shall qualify as a New Equity Amount only if such securities or combinations of securities have been purchased by the Corporation with the net proceeds from new issuances of common stock of the Corporation or of securities or combinations of securities by the Corporation during such six-month period that

           (i)      qualify as Tier 1 capital of the Corporation and
 
  (ii)      as reasonably determined in good faith by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, (x) on a liquidation or dissolution of the issuer rank junior to all indebtedness for money borrowed and claims of other creditors of the issuer, (y) are perpetual, with no prepayment obligation on the part of the issuer, whether at the election of holders or otherwise (although such securities may be subject to early redemption at the option of the issuer), and (z) dividends or other distributions on which are non-cumulative.

     The covenants in the Declaration run in favor of persons that buy, hold, or sell debt of the Bank during the period that such debt is “Covered Debt.” The Bank’s 5.05% Subordinated Bank Notes Due January 15, 2015 (“2015 Notes”) are the initial Covered Debt. Other debt will replace the 2015 Notes as the Covered Debt under the Declaration on the earlier to occur of (x) the date two years prior to the 2015 Notes’ maturity, or (y) the date the Bank gives notice of a redemption of the 2015 Notes such that, or the date 2015 Notes are repurchased in such an amount that, the outstanding principal amount of 2015 Notes is or will become less than $100 million.

25



          The Declaration is subject to various additional terms and conditions. The Declaration may be terminated if the holders of at least 51% by principal amount of the Covered Debt so agree, or if the Bank no longer has any long-term indebtedness rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

          The summary description of the Declaration in this report is qualified in its entirety by the full terms of the Declaration, which are controlling.
