DEAR RESPECTED 
SHAREHOLDER:

We are pleased to report that 2021 was another 
successful year for Renasant. As we began 2021, we 
knew Renasant would face many challenges — from 
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to the continued 
low-interest-rate environment — but we were 
confident that, day in and day out, our team would be 
there to support our clients, communities and fellow 
team members. This confidence was well placed, and 
we leave 2021 with much of which to be proud. 

Our success starts on the front lines through providing 
exceptional service to our clients. Although the 
pandemic continued to impact the delivery of our 
products and services, our team overcame these 
challenges and provided tangible, meaningful 
assistance to our clients. The commitment of our team 
members, from top to bottom and across our footprint, 
has positioned Renasant to grow as we operate as 
“One team going to market as one Bank.”

Our vision is to be the financial services provider of 
choice in each of our communities. To accomplish this, 
we fulfill our Renasant mission by:
•  Creating security and opportunity for
  our employees
•  Understanding, then meeting, the needs of
  our clients
•  Being good citizens in our communities
•  Providing attractive returns to our shareholders

STRONG CORPORATE CULTURE
The foundation of any healthy organization is the 
well-being of its people. In 2021, we maintained, and 
expanded, our efforts to support our employees and 
keep them safe. We allowed employees to continue 
working remotely and extended our employees’ 
flexibility in the form of accommodative work 
scheduling. We also provided paid time off for 
employees who were required to quarantine. By 
remaining open-minded with our staffing model,  
we enabled our employees to transition seamlessly 
between working arrangements as situations evolved.

During 2021 and amid continued uncertainty, our team 
members put their best selves forward to serve our 
clients, and on behalf of our board and senior 
management team, we thank our team members for a 
job well done.

Another corporate-wide action we proudly rolled out 
during 2021 was our Belonging at Renasant initiative. 
Our company continues to embrace individuality and 
diversity. Through the five pillars of education and 
communication, workplace diversity, workplace 
inclusion, business development and supplier/vendor 
diversity, and measurement and evaluation, Belonging 
at Renasant wraps our already strong corporate 
culture into a structured program where our team 
members continue to feel valued and have a sense of 
belonging. We believe dignity and respect for all 
creates a workplace where everyone is accepted and 
can ultimately thrive.

UNDERSTANDING CLIENTS
After a year of living through a pandemic, in 2021 many 
of our clients continued to navigate uncertain times. 
Many were challenged to meet the demands of a 
changing workforce and marketplace for their 
products, while others sought to rebuild and forge a 
new path forward. We provided hands-on guidance, 
tailored to individual clients, to assist them in 
overcoming this uncertainty. Time after time, we rose 
to the occasion for our clients, and our exceptional 
service and abilities were rewarded by our clients as 
they continued to choose Renasant as their financial 
services provider of choice. 

As evidence of this, Forbes recognized Renasant as 
one of the World’s Best Banks for 2021. This accolade 
was based on 43,000 financial institution customer 
surveys from more than two dozen countries across 
the world. We are proud to be recognized as one of the 
top financial institutions in the world for our service; 
however, our work to improve is never finished. 

The enhancements to our digital infrastructure and 
mobile banking offerings over the past years continued 
to provide a positive banking experience for our clients 
in 2021. Technology will play a part in our growth 
strategy, and we’ll always look for new ways to make 
banking more accessible, effective, and convenient. At 
the same time, we will not take for granted the value of 
personal relationship banking.

CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP

 CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  may  contain  or  incorporate  by  reference  statements  regarding  Renasant  Corporation 
(referred to herein as the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of 
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

“intends,”  “estimates,”  “plans,”  “potential,”  “focus,”  “possible,”  “may  increase,”  “may  fluctuate,”  “will  likely  result,”  and 
similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would” and “could,” are generally forward-looking 
in  nature  and  not  historical  facts.  Forward-looking  statements  include  information  about  the  Company’s  future  financial 
performance,  business  strategy,  projected  plans  and  objectives  and  are  based  on  the  current  beliefs  and  expectations  of

subject  to  significant  business,  economic  and  competitive  risks  and  uncertainties,  many  of  which  are  beyond  the  Company’s 
control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and 
decisions  that  are  subject  to  change.  Actual  results  may  differ  from  those  indicated  or  implied  in  the  forward-looking 
statements, and such differences may be material.

Important factors currently known to management that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in forward-
looking statements include the following:

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

PART I

Renasant Corporation, a Mississippi corporation incorporated in 1982, owns and operates Renasant Bank, a Mississippi banking 
corporation  with  operations  in  Alabama,  Florida,  Georgia,  Mississippi,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina  and    Tennessee. 
Renasant Bank, in turn, owns and operates Renasant Insurance, Inc., a Mississippi corporation with operations in Mississippi, 
and Park Place Capital Corporation, a Tennessee corporation with operations across our footprint. Renasant Bank is sometimes 
referred to herein as the “Bank,” while Renasant Insurance, Inc. is referred to herein as “Renasant Insurance” and Park Place 
Capital Corporation is referred to as “Park Place Capital.”

Our vision is to be the financial services advisor and provider of choice in each community we serve. With this vision in mind, 
management  has  organized  the  branch  banks  into  community  banks  using  a  franchise  concept.  The  franchise  approach 
empowers community bank presidents to execute their own business plans in order to achieve our vision. Specific performance 
measurement tools are available to assist these presidents in determining the success of their plan implementation. A few of the 
ratios used in measuring the success of their business plan include: 

— return on average assets

— net interest margin and spread

— the efficiency ratio

— fee income shown as a percentage of loans and deposits

— loan and deposit growth

— the volume and pricing of deposits

— net charge-offs to average loans

— the percentage of loans past due and nonaccruing

While  we  have  preserved  decision-making  at  a  local  level,  we  have  centralized  our  legal,  accounting,  investment,  risk 
management,  loan  review,  human  resources,  audit  and  data  processing/operations  functions.  The  centralization  of  these 
functions enables us to maintain consistent quality and achieve certain economies of scale.

Our  vision  is  further  validated  through  our  core  values.  Our  core  values  include:  (1)  employees  are  our  greatest  assets, 
(2) quality is not negotiable and (3) clients’ trust is foremost. Centered on these values was the development of our strategic 
plan,  which  focuses  on  attracting  high  quality,  organic  loan  growth  and  increasing  our  noninterest  income,  improving  our 
operating efficiency and enhancing our technological capabilities, remaining opportunistic, and achieving financial performance 
targets.  We believe that the successful implementation of our strategic plan will promote the satisfaction and development of 
our employees, clients and shareholders.

Members  of  our  Board  of  Directors  also  serve  as  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Bank  (which  has  a  broader 
membership than the Company board). Responsibility for the management of the Bank remains with the Board of Directors and 
officers of the Bank; however, management services rendered by the Company to the Bank are intended to supplement internal 
management and expand the scope of banking services normally offered by the Bank.

Operations

The Company has three reportable segments: a Community Banks segment, an Insurance segment and a Wealth Management 
segment. We do not have any foreign operations.

2

Operations of Community Banks 

Substantially all of our business activities are conducted through, and substantially all of our assets and revenues are derived 
from, the operations of our community banks, which offer a complete range of banking and financial services to individuals and 
to  businesses  of  all  sizes.  As  described  in  more  detail  below,  these  services  include  business  and  personal  loans,  interim 
construction loans, specialty commercial lending, treasury management services and checking and savings accounts, as well as 
safe deposit boxes and night depository facilities. Automated teller machines are located throughout our market area, and we 
have interactive teller machines in many of our urban markets. Our Online and Mobile Banking products and our call center 
also provide 24-hour banking services. 

As  of  December  31,  2021,  we  had  189  banking,  lending  and  mortgage  offices  located  throughout  our  markets  in  Alabama, 
Florida,  Georgia,  Mississippi,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina  and  Tennessee.  Customers  may  also  conduct  many  banking 
transactions, such as opening deposit accounts and applying for certain types of loans, through our Online and Mobile Banking 
Products.

Lending  Activities.    Income  generated  by  our  lending  activities  (including  our  Mortgage  division),  in  the  form  of  interest 
income,  loan-related  fees,  and  income  from  the  sale  and  servicing  of  mortgage  loans,  comprises  a  substantial  portion  of  our 
revenue,  accounting  for  approximately  78.66%,  84.01%  and  79.32%  of  our  total  gross  revenues  in  2021,  2020  and  2019, 
respectively.  Total  gross  revenues  consist  of  interest  income  on  a  fully  taxable  equivalent  basis  and  noninterest  income.  Our 
lending philosophy is to minimize credit losses by following strict credit approval standards, diversifying our loan portfolio by 
both type and geography and conducting ongoing review and management of the loan portfolio.  Loans are originated through 
either our commercial lending groups or personal bankers depending on the relationship and type of service or product desired.  
Our commercial lending group provides banking services to corporations or other business customers and originates loans for 
general  corporate  purposes,  such  as  financing  for  commercial  and  industrial  projects  or  income  producing  commercial  real 
estate.  Also  included  in  our  commercial  lending  group  are  experienced  lenders  within  our  specialty  lines  of  business,  which 
consist of our asset-based lending, Small Business Administration lending, healthcare, factoring, and equipment lease financing 
banking groups. Our personal banking group provides small consumer installment loans, residential real estate loans, lines of 
credit and construction financing and originates conventional first and second mortgages.

The following is a description of each of the principal types of loans in our loan portfolio, the relative credit risk of each type of 
loan and the steps we take to reduce such risk. Our loans are primarily generated within the market areas where our offices are 
located.

— Commercial, Financial and Agricultural Loans. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans (referred to as “C&I loans”), 
which  accounted  for  approximately  14.20%  of  our  total  loans  at  December  31,  2021,  are  customarily  granted  to  established 
local  business  customers  in  our  market  area  on  a  fully  collateralized  basis  to  meet  their  credit  needs.  The  terms  and  loan 
structure are dependent on the collateral and strength of the borrower. Loan-to-value ratios range from 50% to 85%, depending 
on  the  type  of  collateral.    Terms  are  typically  short  term  in  nature  and  are  commensurate  with  the  secondary  source  of 
repayment that serves as our collateral.

Although C&I loans may be collateralized by equipment or other business assets, the repayment of this type of loan depends 
primarily on the creditworthiness and projected cash flow of the borrower (and any guarantors). Thus, the chief considerations 
when assessing the risk of a C&I loan are the local business borrower’s ability to sell its products/services, thereby generating 
sufficient operating revenue to repay us under the agreed upon terms and conditions, and the general business conditions of the 
local  economy  or  other  market  that  the  business  serves.  The  liquidation  of  collateral  is  considered  a  secondary  source  of 
repayment.    Another  source  of  repayment  are  guarantors  of  the  loan,  if  any.  To  manage  these  risks,  the  Bank’s  policy  is  to 
secure  its  C&I  loans  with  both  the  assets  of  the  borrowing  business  and  any  other  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. We use C&I loan credit scoring models for smaller-size loans. 

— 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 27.19% of our total loans at December 31, 2021, being residential real estate loans. In 
addition,  in  2021,  we  originated  for  sale  on  the  secondary  market  approximately  $4.06  billion  in  residential  real  estate  loans 
through our Mortgage division. We offer both first and second mortgages on residential real estate. Loans secured by residential 
real estate in which the property is the principal residence of the borrower are referred to as “primary” 1-4 family mortgages. 
Loans secured by residential real estate in which the property is rented to tenants or is not otherwise the principal residence of 
the borrower are referred to as “rental/investment” 1-4 family mortgages. We also offer loans for the preparation of residential 
real property prior to construction (referred to as “residential land development loans”). In addition, we offer home equity loans 
or  lines  of  credit  and  term  loans  secured  by  first  and  second  mortgages  on  the  residences  of  borrowers  who  elect  to  use  the 
accumulated equity in their homes for purchases, refinances, home improvements, education and other personal expenditures. 

3

Both fixed and variable rate loans are offered with competitive terms and fees. Originations of residential real estate loans are 
generated through retail efforts in our branches or originations by or referrals from our Mortgage division and online through 
our Renasant Consumer Direct channel. 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. With respect to 
second lien home equity loans or lines of credit, which inherently carry a higher risk of loss upon default, we limit our exposure 
by limiting these types of loans to borrowers with high credit scores.

We retain residential real estate loans in our portfolio when the Bank has sufficient liquidity to fund the needs of established 
customers  and  when  rates  are  favorable  to  retain  the  loans.  Retained  portfolio  loans  are  made  primarily  through  the  Bank’s 
variable-rate mortgage product offerings.

As noted above, we also originate residential real estate loans with the intention of selling them in the secondary market to third 
party private investors or directly to government sponsored entities. In addition to the origination channels mentioned above, 
mortgage loans held for sale are also originated through wholesale relationships where we purchase loans from smaller banks, 
credit unions and brokerage shops. When these loans are sold, we either release or retain the related servicing rights, depending 
on  a  number  of  factors,  such  as  the  pricing  of  such  loans  in  the  secondary  market,  fluctuations  in  interest  rates  that  would 
impact the profitability of the loans and other market-related conditions. Residential real estate originations to be sold are sold 
either  on  a  “best  efforts”  basis  or  under  a  “mandatory  delivery”  sales  agreement.  Under  a  “best  efforts”  sales  agreement, 
residential  real  estate  originations  are  locked  in  at  a  contractual  rate  with  third  party  private  investors  or  directly  with 
government sponsored agencies, 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. 
Under a “mandatory delivery” sales agreement, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans 
to  an  investor  at  a  specified  price  and  delivery  date.  Penalties  are  paid  to  the  investor  if  we  fail  to  satisfy  the  contract.  The 
Company does not actively market or originate subprime mortgage loans.

—  Real  Estate  –  Commercial  Mortgage.  Our  real  estate  –  commercial  mortgage  loans  (“commercial  real  estate  loans”) 
represented approximately 45.39% of our total loans at December 31, 2021. Included in this portfolio are loans in which the 
owner  develops  a  property  with  the  intention  of  locating  its  business  there.  These  loans  are  referred  to  as  “owner-occupied” 
commercial  real  estate  loans.  Payments  on  these  loans  are  dependent  on  the  successful  development  and  management  of  the 
business as well as the borrower’s ability to generate sufficient operating revenue to repay the loan. The Bank mitigates the risk 
that our estimate of value will prove to be inaccurate by having sufficient sources of secondary repayment as well as guarantor 
support.  In some instances, in addition to our mortgage on the underlying real estate of the business, our commercial real estate 
loans are secured by other non-real estate collateral, such as equipment or other assets used in the business.

In addition to owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, we offer loans in which the owner develops a property where the 
source  of  repayment  of  the  loan  will  come  from  the  sale  or  lease  of  the  developed  property,  for  example,  retail  shopping 
centers, hotels and storage facilities. These loans are referred to as “non-owner occupied” commercial real estate loans. We also 
offer commercial real estate loans to developers of commercial properties for purposes of site acquisition and preparation and 
other  development  prior  to  actual  construction  (referred  to  in  this  Annual  Report  as  “commercial  land  development  loans”). 
Non-owner  occupied  commercial  real  estate  loans  and  commercial  land  development  loans  are  dependent  on  the  successful 
completion of the project and may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy as a whole. 

We seek to minimize risks relating to all commercial real estate loans by limiting the maximum loan-to-value ratio and strictly 
scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower, the quality of the collateral, the management of the property securing the 
loan and, where applicable, the financial strength of the tenant occupying the property. 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 20 years.  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 the guarantor’s financial statements.

— Real Estate – Construction. Our real estate – construction loans (“construction loans”) represented approximately 11.03% of 
our  total  loans  at  December  31,  2021.  Our  construction  loan  portfolio  consists  of  loans  for  the  construction  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 24 to 36 months for non-residential and multi-family properties. Similar to non-
owner occupied commercial real estate loans, the source of repayment of a construction loan comes from the sale or lease of 
newly-constructed property, although often construction loans are repaid with the proceeds of a commercial real estate loan that 
we make to the owner or lessor of the newly-constructed property.

Construction lending entails significant additional risks compared to residential real estate or commercial real estate lending, 
including the risk that loan funds are advanced upon the security of the property under construction, which is of uncertain value 

4

prior to the completion of construction. The risk is to evaluate accurately the total loan funds required to complete a project and 
to ensure proper loan-to-value ratios during the construction phase. We address the risks associated with construction lending in 
a number of ways.  As a threshold matter, we limit loan-to-value and loan-to-cost ratios to 85% of when-completed appraised 
values  for  owner-occupied  and  investor-owned  residential  or  commercial  properties.    We  monitor  draw  requests  either 
internally or with the assistance of a third party, creating an additional safeguard that ensures advances are in line with project 
budgets.

— Installment Loans to Individuals. Installment loans to individuals (or “consumer loans”), which represented approximately 
1.43% of our total loans at December 31, 2021, are granted to individuals for the purchase of personal goods. Loss or decline of 
income by the borrower due to unplanned occurrences represents the primary 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 collateral securing the loan and hold title until the loan is repaid in full.

—  Equipment  Financing  and  Leasing.  Equipment  financing  loans  (or  “lease  financing  loans”),  which  represented 
approximately  0.76%  of  our  total  loans  at  December  31,  2021,  are  granted  to  provide  capital  to  businesses  for  commercial 
equipment needs.  These loans are generally granted for periods ranging between two and five years at fixed rates of interest. 
Loss  or  decline  of  income  by  the  borrower  due  to  unplanned  occurrences  represents  the  primary  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.  We obtain a lien against the 
collateral  securing  the  loan  and  hold  title  (if  applicable)  until  the  loan  is  repaid  in  full.    Transportation,  manufacturing, 
healthcare, material handling, printing and construction are the industries that typically obtain lease financing.  In addition, we 
offer a product tailored to qualified not-for-profit customers that provides real estate financing at tax-exempt rates.

Addressing Aggregate Lending Risks. In addition to the steps described above to mitigate the risks posed by any individual loan 
relationship,  management  has  implemented  a  structure  that  proactively  monitors  the  risk  to  the  Company  presented  by  the 
Bank’s loan portfolio as a whole.  First, we purposefully manage the loan portfolio to avoid excessive concentrations in any 
particular loan category.  Our goal is to structure the loan portfolio so that it is well balanced among C&I loans and owner-
occupied commercial real estate loans, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans and  residential real estate loans and 
consumer loans while taking into account current market risks and lending opportunities. Construction and land development 
loans are allocated between the commercial real estate and residential real estate categories based on the property securing the 
loan.  With respect to construction and land development loans in particular, management monitors whether the allocation of 
these loans across geography and asset type heightens the general risk associated with these types of loans.  We also monitor 
concentrations  in  our  construction  and  land  development  loans  based  on  regulatory  guidelines  promulgated  by  banking 
regulators,  which  involves  evaluating  the  aggregate  value  of  these  loans  as  a  percentage  of  our  risk-based  capital  (this  is 
referred  to  as  the  “100/300  Test”  and  is  discussed  in  more  detail  under  the  “Supervision  and  Regulation”  heading  below)  as 
well  as  monitoring  loans  considered  to  be  high  volatility  commercial  real  estate.  A  further  discussion  of  the  risk  reduction 
policies and procedures applicable to our lending activities can be found in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, under the heading “Risk Management – Credit Risk and Allowance for Credit 
Losses.” 

Investment Activities.  We acquire investment securities to provide a source for meeting our liquidity needs as well as to supply 
securities to be used in collateralizing certain deposits and other types of borrowings. During 2021, we also deployed a portion 
of  our  excess  liquidity  into  the  securities  portfolio.  We  primarily  acquire  mortgage  backed  securities  and  collateralized 
mortgage  obligations  issued  by  government-sponsored  entities  such  as  FNMA,  FHLMC  and  GNMA  (colloquially  known  as 
“Fannie  Mae,”  “Freddie  Mac”  and  “Ginnie  Mae,”  respectively)  as  well  as  municipal  securities.    Generally,  cash  flows  from 
maturities and calls of our investment securities that are not used to fund loan growth or repay debt are reinvested in investment 
securities.    We  also  hold  investments  in  corporate  debt  and  pooled  trust  preferred  securities.    At  December  31,  2021,  the 
Company’s investment securities included both available for sale and held to maturity classifications.

Investment income generated by our investment activities, both taxable and tax-exempt, accounted for approximately 5.13%, 
4.46% and 5.41% of our total gross revenues in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Deposit Services. We offer a broad range of deposit services and products to our consumer and commercial clients. Through 
our community branch networks, we offer consumer checking accounts with free online and mobile banking, which includes 
bill  pay  and  transfer  features,  peer-to-peer  payment,  interest  bearing  checking,  money  market  accounts,  savings  accounts, 
certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts and health savings accounts.

For  our  commercial  clients,  we  offer  competitive  checking  and  savings  services  as  well  as  a  suite  of  treasury  management 
products which include remote deposit capture, account reconciliation, electronic statements, fraud protection via positive pay, 

5

ACH origination and wire transfer, lockbox services, overnight investment sweep options, enhanced business Internet banking 
and mobile banking.

Fees generated through the deposit services we offer accounted for approximately 7.15%, 5.88% and 7.78% of our total gross 
revenues in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The deposits held by the Bank have been primarily generated within the market 
areas where our branches are located.

Operations of Wealth Management

Our Wealth Management segment operates through two divisions: Trust and Financial Services. The Trust division, which is 
housed in the Bank’s trust department, offers a wide variety of fiduciary and custodial services, including investment advisory, 
accounting  and  administrative  services  (acting  as  trustee  or  in  other  capacities)  for  qualified  retirement  and  other  employee 
benefit plans, IRAs, personal trusts and estates. Our fees for managing these accounts are based on changes in market values of 
the  assets  under  management  in  the  account,  with  the  amount  of  the  fee  depending  on  services  we  provide  and  the  type  of 
account. 

The  Financial  Services  division,  which  operates  through  Park  Place  Capital  (although  the  Bank’s  trust  department  maintains 
some  legacy  financial  service  operations),  offers  specialized  products  and  services  to  our  customers.    These  products  and 
services include fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds and stocks, some of which are offered through a third party provider. 
Park Place Capital also provides administrative and compliance services for certain mutual funds. 

For 2021, the Wealth Management segment generated total revenue of $23.8 million, or 3.39% of the Company’s total gross 
revenues.  Wealth  Management  operations  are  headquartered  in  Tupelo,  Mississippi,  and  Birmingham,  Alabama,  but  our 
products and services are available to customers in all of our markets through our community banks.

Operations of Insurance

Renasant  Insurance  is  a  full-service  insurance  agency  offering  all  lines  of  commercial  and  personal  insurance  through  major 
carriers.  For  2021,  Renasant  Insurance  generated  total  revenue  of  $11.8  million,  or  1.69%  of  the  Company’s  total  gross 
revenues, and operated eight offices throughout north and north central Mississippi.  

Competition

Community Banks

Vigorous  competition  exists  in  all  major  product  and  geographic  areas  in  which  we  conduct  banking  business.  We  compete 
through the Bank for available loans and deposits and the provision of other financial services (such as treasury management) 
with  state,  regional  and  national  banks  as  well  as  savings  and  loan  associations,  credit  unions,  finance  companies,  mortgage 
companies, insurance companies, brokerage firms and investment companies in all of our service areas. All of these numerous 
institutions  compete  in  the  delivery  of  products  and  services  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, 
larger technology and marketing budgets and a broader offering of financial services.

Wealth Management

Our Wealth Management segment competes with other banks, brokerage firms, financial advisers and trust companies, which 
provide one or more of the services and products that we offer. Our wealth management operations compete on the basis of 
available  product  lines,  rates  and  fees,  as  well  as  reputation  and  professional  expertise.  No  particular  company  or  group  of 
companies dominates this industry.

Insurance

We encounter strong competition in the markets in which we conduct insurance operations. Through our insurance subsidiary, 
we compete with independent insurance agencies and agencies affiliated with other banks and/or other insurance carriers. All of 
these agencies compete in the delivery of personal and commercial product lines. There is no dominant insurance agency in our 
markets.

Supervision and Regulation

General

The U.S. banking industry is highly regulated under federal and state law.  We are a bank holding company registered under the 
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”).  As a result, we are subject to supervision, regulation and 
examination  by  the  Board  of  Governors  of  the  Federal  Reserve  System  (the  “Federal  Reserve”).    The  Bank  is  a  commercial 
bank chartered under the laws of the State of Mississippi; it is not a member of the Federal Reserve System.  As a Mississippi 
non-member bank, the Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Mississippi Department of Banking 
and  Consumer  Finance  (the  “DBCF”),  as  the  chartering  entity  of  the  Bank,  and  by  the  FDIC,  as  the  insurer  of  the  Bank’s 
deposits.  As  an  institution  with  more  than  $10  billion  in  assets,  we  are  subject  to  examination  by  the  Consumer  Financial 
Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) for compliance with federal consumer protection laws. As a result of this extensive system of 
supervision  and  regulation,  the  growth  and  earnings  performance  of  the  Company  and  the  Bank  are  affected  not  only  by 
management  decisions  and  general  and  local  economic  conditions,  but  also  by  the  statutes,  rules,  regulations  and  policies 
administered  by  the  Federal  Reserve,  the  FDIC,  the  DBCF,  the  CFPB  and  other  federal  and  state  regulatory  authorities  with 
jurisdiction over our operations.

The bank regulatory scheme has two primary goals: to maintain a safe and sound banking system and to facilitate the conduct 
of sound monetary policy.  This scheme, including the laws and regulations administered by the CFPB, also seeks to ensure 
broad, non-discriminatory access to financial services on fair and reasonable terms.  This comprehensive system of supervision 
and regulation is intended primarily for the protection of the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund, bank depositors, consumers and 
the  public  in  general,  rather  than  our  shareholders  or  creditors.    To  this  end,  federal  and  state  banking  laws  and  regulations 
govern,  among  other  things,  the  types  of  activities  in  which  we  and  the  Bank  may  engage,  the  terms  and  conditions  of  our 
products  and  services  and  the  manner  in  which  we  offer  our  products  and  services,  permissible  investments,  the  level  of 
reserves  that  the  Bank  must  maintain  against  deposits,  minimum  equity  capital  levels,  the  nature  and  amount  of  collateral 
required for loans, maximum interest rates that can be charged, the manner and amount of the dividends that may be paid, and 
corporate activities regarding mergers, acquisitions and the establishment of branch offices.

The description below summarizes certain elements of the regulatory framework applicable to us and the Bank.  This summary 
is  not,  however,  intended  to  describe  all  laws,  regulations  and  policies  applicable  to  us  and  the  Bank,  and  the  description  is 
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the statutes, regulations, policies, interpretative letters and other written 
guidance that are described below. Further, the following discussion addresses the regulatory framework as in effect as of the 
date  of  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K.  Legislation  and  regulatory  action  to  revise  federal  and  Mississippi  banking, 
consumer protection, securities and other applicable laws and regulations, sometimes in a substantial manner, are continually 
under  consideration  by  the  U.S.  Congress,  state  legislatures  and  federal  and  state  regulatory  agencies.    Accordingly,  the 
following  discussion  must  be  read  in  light  of  the  enactment  of  any  new  federal  or  state  banking  laws  or  regulations  or  any 
amendment or repeal of existing laws or regulations, or any change in the policies of the regulatory agencies with jurisdiction 
over the Company’s operations, after the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Supervision and Regulation of Renasant Corporation

General.  As a bank holding company registered under the BHC Act, we are subject to the regulation and supervision applicable 
to bank holding companies by the Federal Reserve. The BHC Act and other federal laws subject bank holding companies to 
particular  restrictions  on  the  types  of  activities  in  which  they  may  engage  and  to  a  range  of  supervisory  requirements  and 
activities, including regulatory enforcement actions for violations of laws and regulations or engaging in unsafe and unsound 
banking practices.  The Federal Reserve’s jurisdiction also extends to any company that we directly or indirectly control, such 
as any non-bank subsidiaries and other companies in which we own a controlling investment.

Scope of Permissible Activities.  Under the BHC Act, we are prohibited from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other 
than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or furnishing services to or performing services for the Bank and from 
acquiring a direct or indirect interest in or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is not a bank or 
financial holding company. The principal exception to this prohibition is that we may engage, directly or indirectly (including 
through the ownership of shares of another company), in certain activities that the Federal Reserve has found to be so closely 
related  to  banking  or  managing  and  controlling  banks  as  to  be  a  proper  incident  thereto.    In  making  determinations  whether 
activities are closely related to banking or managing banks, the Federal Reserve must consider whether the performance of such 
activities by a bank holding company or its subsidiaries can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as 
greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency of resources, and whether such public benefits outweigh the 
risks  of  possible  adverse  effects,  such  as  decreased  or  unfair  competition,  conflicts  of  interest  or  unsound  banking  practices. 
Currently-permitted  activities  include,  among  others,  operating  a  mortgage,  finance,  credit  card  or  factoring  company; 
providing certain data processing, storage and transmission services; acting as an investment or financial advisor; acting as an 

7

insurance  agent  for  certain  types  of  credit-related  insurance;  leasing  personal  or  real  property  on  a  nonoperating  basis;  and 
providing certain stock brokerage services.

Pursuant to the amendment to the BHC Act effected by the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (commonly referred 
to as the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, or the “GLB Act”), a bank holding company whose subsidiary deposit institutions are “well 
capitalized”  and  “well  managed”  may  elect  to  become  a  “financial  holding  company”  (“FHC”)  and  thereby  engage  without 
prior  Federal  Reserve  approval  in  certain  banking  and  non-banking  activities  that  are  deemed  to  be  financial  in  nature  or 
incidental  to  financial  activity.  These  “financial  in  nature”  activities  include  securities  underwriting,  dealing  and  market 
making; organizing, sponsoring and managing mutual funds; insurance underwriting and agency activities; merchant banking 
activities; and other activities that the Federal Reserve has determined to be closely related to banking.   No regulatory approval 
is required for a financial holding company to acquire a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in activities 
that are financial in nature or incidental to activities that are financial in nature, as determined by the Federal Reserve.  We have 
not elected to become an FHC.

A dominant theme of the GLB Act is functional regulation of financial services, with the primary regulator of the Company or 
its  subsidiaries  being  the  agency  that  traditionally  regulates  the  activity  in  which  the  Company  or  its  subsidiaries  wish  to 
engage.  For  example,  the  SEC  regulates  bank  holding  company  securities  transactions,  and  the  various  banking  regulators 
oversee our banking activities.

Capital Adequacy Guidelines.  The Federal Reserve has adopted risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies.  The 
risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles 
among  banks  and  bank  holding  companies,  to  factor  off-balance  sheet  exposure  into  the  assessment  of  capital  adequacy,  to 
minimize  disincentives  for  holding  liquid,  low-risk  assets  and  to  achieve  greater  consistency  in  the  evaluation  of  the  capital 
adequacy of major banking organizations worldwide.  Under these guidelines, assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to 
broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights.  The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-
weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. In addition to the risk-based capital guidelines, the Federal Reserve has adopted a 
minimum Tier 1 capital (leverage) ratio, under which a bank holding company must maintain a minimum level of Tier 1 capital 
to average total consolidated assets of at least 4%.

The  capital  requirements  applicable  to  the  Company  are  substantially  similar  to  those  imposed  on  the  Bank  under  FDIC 
regulations,  described  below  under  the  heading  “Supervision  and  Regulation  of  Renasant  Bank  -  Capital  Adequacy 
Guidelines.” 

Payment  of  Dividends;  Source  of  Strength.    Under  Federal  Reserve  policy,  in  general  a  bank  holding  company  should  pay 
dividends only when (1) its net income available to shareholders over the last four quarters (net of dividends paid) has been 
sufficient  to  fully  fund  the  dividends,  (2)  the  prospective  rate  of  earnings  retention  appears  to  be  consistent  with  the  capital 
needs and overall current and prospective financial condition of the bank holding company and its subsidiaries and (3) the bank 
holding company will continue to meet minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios after giving effect to the dividend.

The Federal Reserve provided guidance on the criteria it uses to evaluate a bank holding company’s request to pay dividends in 
an aggregate amount that will exceed the company’s earnings for the period in which the dividends will be paid. For purposes 
of this analysis, “dividend” includes not only dividends on preferred and common equity but also dividends on debt underlying 
trust preferred securities and other Tier 1 capital instruments. The criteria evaluates whether the holding company (1) has net 
income  over  the  past  four  quarters  sufficient  to  fully  fund  the  proposed  dividend  (taking  into  account  prior  dividends  paid 
during  this  period),  (2)  is  considering  stock  repurchases  or  redemptions  in  the  quarter,  (3)  does  not  have  a  concentration  in 
commercial  real  estate  and  (4)  is  in  good  supervisory  condition,  based  on  its  overall  condition  and  its  asset  quality  risk.  A 
holding company not meeting these criteria will require more in-depth consultations with the Federal Reserve.

In addition, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary bank(s).  This means 
that we are expected to use available resources to provide adequate financial resources to the Bank, including during periods of 
financial stress or adversity, and to maintain the financial flexibility and capital-raising capacity to obtain additional resources 
for  assisting  the  Bank  where  necessary.    In  addition,  any  capital  loans  that  we  make  to  the  Bank  are  subordinate  in  right  of 
payment to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the Bank.  In the event of our bankruptcy, any commitment by us to a 
federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of the Bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a 
priority of payment.

Acquisitions by Bank Holding Companies.  The BHC Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of 
the Federal Reserve before it acquires all or substantially all of the assets of any bank, merges or consolidates with another bank 
holding company or acquires ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if after such acquisition it would own or 
control,  directly  or  indirectly,  more  than  5%  of  the  voting  shares  of  such  bank.    The  Federal  Reserve  will  not  approve  any 

8

acquisition, merger or consolidation that would have a substantially anti-competitive effect, unless the anti-competitive impact 
of  the  proposed  transaction  is  clearly  outweighed  by  a  greater  public  interest  in  meeting  the  convenience  and  needs  of  the 
community to be served.  The Federal Reserve also considers capital adequacy and other financial and managerial resources and 
future prospects of the companies and the banks concerned, together with the convenience and needs of the community to be 
served  and  the  record  of  the  bank  holding  company  and  its  subsidiary  bank(s)  in  combating  money  laundering  activities. 
Finally, in order to acquire a bank located outside its home state, a bank holding company and its subsidiary institutions must be 
“well capitalized” and “well managed.” In addition, as detailed under the heading “Scope of Permissible Activities” above, we 
cannot acquire direct or indirect control of more than 5% of the voting shares of a company engaged in non-banking activities.

Control Acquisitions.  Federal and state laws, including the BHC Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, also impose prior 
notice  or  approval  requirements  and  ongoing  regulatory  requirements  on  any  investor  that  seeks  to  acquire  direct  or  indirect 
“control” of an FDIC-insured depository institution or bank holding company.  “Control” of a depository institution is a facts 
and  circumstances  analysis,  but  generally  an  investor  is  deemed  to  control  a  depository  institution  or  other  company  if  the 
investor owns or controls 25% or more of any class of voting securities.  For ownership or control at less than the 25% level, 
there are multiple factors that contribute to whether “control” will be presumed to exist, which depend on the ownership level of 
the depository institution or bank holding company’s voting securities.  These presumptions are rebuttable.

Anti-Tying Restrictions. Bank holding companies and their affiliates are prohibited from tying the provision of certain services, 
such as extensions of credit, to other nonbanking services offered by a bank holding company or its affiliates.  

Status as a Public Company.  As a publicly-traded company, we are also subject to laws, rules and regulations, as well as the 
standards  of  self-regulatory  organizations,  relating  to  corporate  governance,  financial  reporting  and  public  disclosure,  and 
auditor  independence,  including  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002,  the  Dodd-Frank  Wall  Street  Reform  and  Consumer 
Protection  Act  of  2010  (the  “Dodd-Frank  Act”),  SEC  rules  and  regulations  and  Nasdaq  listing  rules.    We  incur  significant 
expense  in,  and  devote  substantial  management  time  and  attention  to,  complying  with  these  laws,  regulations  and  standards, 
which are subject to varying interpretations, amendment or outright repeal.  We are committed to maintaining high standards of 
corporate governance, financial reporting and public disclosure, and management continually monitors changes in laws, rules 
and regulations, as well as best practices, in this area to ensure that we fulfill this commitment.

Supervision and Regulation of Renasant Bank

General.  As  a  Mississippi-chartered  bank,  the  Bank  is  subject  to  the  regulation  and  supervision  of  the  DBCF.    As  an  FDIC-
insured  institution  that  is  not  a  member  of  the  Federal  Reserve,  the  Bank  is  subject  to  the  regulation  and  supervision  of  the 
FDIC.  The regulations of the FDIC and the DBCF affect virtually all of the Bank’s activities, including the minimum levels of 
capital  required,  the  ability  to  pay  dividends,  mergers  and  acquisitions,  borrowing  and  the  ability  to  expand  through  new 
branches or acquisitions and various other matters. Finally, having more than $10 billion in assets, our compliance with federal 
consumer protection laws is subject to examination by the CFPB.

Insurance of Deposits.  The deposits of the Bank are insured through the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”) up to $250,000 
for  most  accounts.    The  FDIC  administers  the  DIF,  and  the  FDIC  must  by  law  maintain  the  DIF  at  an  amount  equal  to  a 
specified percentage of the estimated annual insured deposits or assessment base.  The minimum designated reserve ratio of the 
DIF is 1.35% of total insured deposits, but the FDIC is authorized to designate a reserve ratio above the statutory minimum.  
The FDIC must offset the effect of this increase for banks with assets less than $10 billion, meaning that banks above such asset 
threshold, such as the Bank, will bear the cost of the increase.

To fund the DIF, FDIC-insured banks are required to pay deposit insurance assessments to the FDIC on a quarterly basis.  The 
amount of an institution’s assessment is based on its average consolidated total assets less its average tangible equity during the 
assessment period. As to the rate, it is based on risk classification. An institution’s risk classification is assigned based on its 
capital levels and the level of supervisory concern that the institution poses to the regulators. The higher an institution’s risk 
classification, the higher its assessment rate (on the assumption that such institutions pose a greater risk of loss to the DIF).  In 
addition,  the  FDIC  can  impose  special  assessments  in  certain  instances.  As  we  have  assets  in  excess  of  $10  billion,  our 
assessment rate is based not only on our risk classification but also incorporates forward-looking measures. Also, we are subject 
to a surcharge designed to increase the DIF to specified levels, although this surcharge is not currently applicable because the 
DIF is sufficiently funded.

The FDIC may terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution, including the Bank, if it determines after a 
hearing that the institution has engaged or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to 
continue operations or has violated any applicable law, regulation, order or any condition imposed by an agreement with the 
FDIC.  For an institution with no tangible capital, deposit insurance may be temporarily suspended during the hearing process 
for the permanent termination of insurance.  If the FDIC terminates an institution’s deposit insurance, accounts insured at the 

9

time of the termination, less withdrawals, will continue to be insured for a period of six months to two years, as determined by 
the FDIC.  We are not aware of any existing circumstances that would result in termination of the Bank’s deposit insurance.

Interstate Banking and Branching.  Under federal and Mississippi law, the Bank may establish additional branch offices within 
Mississippi, subject to the approval of the DBCF, and the Bank can also establish additional branch offices outside Mississippi, 
subject to prior regulatory approval, so long as the laws of the state where the branch is to be located would permit a state bank 
chartered in that state to establish a branch.  Finally, the Bank may also establish offices in other states by merging with banks 
or by purchasing branches and related assets of banks in other states, subject to certain restrictions.

Dividends.    The  restrictions  and  guidelines  with  respect  to  the  Company’s  payment  of  dividends  are  described  above.    As  a 
practical  matter,  for  so  long  as  our  operations  chiefly  consist  of  ownership  of  the  Bank,  the  Bank  will  remain  our  source  of 
dividend payments. Accordingly, our ability to pay dividends depends upon the Bank's earnings and financial condition, as well 
as upon general economic conditions and other factors, and will be subject to any restrictions applicable to the Bank.

The ability of the Bank to pay dividends is restricted by federal and state laws, regulations and policies. Under Mississippi law, 
a Mississippi bank may not pay dividends unless its earned surplus is in excess of three times capital stock. A Mississippi bank 
with earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock may pay a dividend, subject to the approval of the DBCF. In addition, 
the FDIC also has the authority to prohibit the Bank from engaging in business practices that the FDIC considers to be unsafe or 
unsound, which, depending on the financial condition of the Bank, could include the payment of dividends. Federal Reserve 
regulations  also  limit  the  amount  the  Bank  may  loan  to  the  Company  unless  such  loans  are  collateralized  by  specific 
obligations. Accordingly, the approval of the DBCF is required prior to the Bank paying dividends to the Company, and under 
certain circumstances the approval of the FDIC may be required. 

Capital  Adequacy  Guidelines.    The  FDIC  has  promulgated  risk-based  capital  guidelines  similar  to,  and  with  the  same 
underlying  purposes  as,  those  established  by  the  Federal  Reserve  with  respect  to  bank  holding  companies.    Under  those 
guidelines,  assets  and  off-balance  sheet  items  are  assigned  to  broad  risk  categories,  each  with  appropriate  weights.    The 
resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. 

Capital requirements for insured depository institutions are countercyclical, such that capital requirements increase in times of 
economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction. 

-    Current  Guidelines.    Under  the  current  risk-based  capital  adequacy  guidelines,  we  are  required  to  maintain  (1)  a  ratio  of 
common equity Tier 1 capital (“CET1”) to total risk-weighted assets of not less than 4.5%; (2) a minimum leverage capital ratio 
of 4%; (3) a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6%; and (4) a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8%.  CET1 
generally consists of common stock, retained earnings, accumulated other comprehensive income and certain minority interests, 
less  certain  adjustments  and  deductions.    In  addition,  we  must  maintain  a  “capital  conservation  buffer,”  which  is  a  specified 
amount  of  CET1  capital  in  addition  to  the  amount  necessary  to  meet  minimum  risk-based  capital  requirements.    The  capital 
conservation  buffer  is  designed  to  absorb  losses  during  periods  of  economic  stress.    If  our  ratio  of  CET1  to  risk-weighted 
capital  is  below  the  capital  conservation  buffer,  we  will  face  restrictions  on  our  ability  to  pay  dividends,  repurchase  our 
outstanding stock and make certain discretionary bonus payments. The required capital conservation buffer is 2.5% of CET1 to 
risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements. 

In addition, the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency rules for calculating risk-weighted 
assets have been revised in recent years to enhance risk sensitivity and to incorporate certain international capital standards of 
the  Basel  Committee  on  Banking  Supervision.    These  revisions  affect  the  calculation  of  the  denominator  of  a  banking 
organization’s risk-based capital ratios to reflect the higher-risk nature of certain types of loans.

For example, residential mortgages are risk-weighted between 35% and 200%, depending on the mortgage’s loan-to-value ratio 
and  whether  the  mortgage  falls  into  one  of  two  categories  based  on  eight  criteria  that  include  the  term,  use  of  negative 
amortization  and  balloon  payments,  certain  rate  increases  and  documented  and  verified  borrower  income,  while  a  150%  risk 
weight applies to both certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans as well as 
non-residential  mortgage  loans  90  days  past  due  or  on  nonaccrual  status  (in  both  cases,  as  opposed  to  the  former  100%  risk 
weight).  Also, “hybrid” capital items like trust preferred securities no longer enjoy Tier 1 capital treatment, subject to various 
grandfathering and transition rules.  We and the Bank meet all minimum capital requirements as currently in effect, and our 
grandfathered trust preferred securities qualify for Tier 1 capital treatment.  

For  a  detailed  discussion  of  the  Company’s  capital  ratios,  see  Note  21,  “Regulatory  Matters,”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this report.

-        Prompt  Corrective  Action.    Under  Section  38  of  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance  Act  (the  “FDIA”),  each  federal  banking 
agency  is  required  to  implement  a  system  of  prompt  corrective  action  for  institutions  that  it  regulates.    The  federal  banking 

10

  
agencies  (including  the  FDIC)  have  adopted  substantially  similar  regulations  to  implement  this  mandate.    Under  current 
regulations, a bank is (1) “well capitalized” if it has total risk-based capital of 10% or more, has a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 8% 
or more, has a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.5%, has a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 5% or more and is not subject 
to  any  order  or  final  capital  directive  to  meet  and  maintain  a  specific  capital  level  for  any  capital  measure,  (2)  “adequately 
capitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio of 8% or more, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6% or more, a common 
equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% and a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 4% or more (3% under certain circumstances) and does 
not meet the definition of “well capitalized,” (3) “undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8%, a 
Tier  1  risk-based  capital  ratio  that  is  less  than  6%,  a  common  equity  Tier  1  capital  ratio  that  is  less  than  4.5%  or  a  Tier  1 
leverage capital ratio that is less than 4%, (4) “significantly undercapitalized” if it has a total risk-based ratio that is less than 
6%,  a  Tier  1  risk-based  capital  ratio  that  is  less  than  4%,  a  common  equity  Tier  1  capital  ratio  of  less  than  3%  or  a  Tier  1 
leverage capital ratio that is less than 3%, and (5) “critically undercapitalized” if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets 
that is equal to or less than 2%.  

The  capital  classification  of  a  bank  affects  the  frequency  of  regulatory  examinations,  the  bank’s  ability  to  engage  in  certain 
activities  and  the  deposit  insurance  premiums  paid  by  the  bank.    In  addition,  federal  banking  regulators  must  take  various 
mandatory  supervisory  actions,  and  may  take  other  discretionary  actions,  with  respect  to  institutions  in  the  three 
undercapitalized categories.  The severity of the action depends upon the capital category in which the institution is placed.  An 
institution  that  is  categorized  as  undercapitalized,  significantly  undercapitalized  or  critically  undercapitalized  is  required  to 
submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its appropriate federal banking agency.  An undercapitalized institution also is 
generally prohibited from increasing its average total assets, making acquisitions, establishing any branches or engaging in any 
new line of business, except under an accepted capital restoration plan or with FDIC approval.  Generally, banking regulators 
must appoint a receiver or conservator for an institution that is critically undercapitalized. 

Section  38  of  the  FDIA  and  related  regulations  also  specify  circumstances  under  which  the  FDIC  may  reclassify  a  well-
capitalized  bank  as  adequately  capitalized  and  may  require  an  adequately  capitalized  bank  or  an  undercapitalized  bank  to 
comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category (except that the FDIC may not reclassify a significantly 
undercapitalized bank as critically undercapitalized).  

The provisions discussed above, as well as any other aspects of current or proposed regulatory or legislative changes to laws 
applicable  to  the  financial  industry,  may  impact  the  profitability  of  our  business  activities  and  may  change  certain  of  our 
business  practices,  including  the  ability  to  offer  new  products,  obtain  financing,  attract  deposits,  make  loans,  and  achieve 
satisfactory interest spreads, and could expose us to additional costs, including increased compliance costs.  These changes also 
may require us to invest significant management attention and resources to make any necessary changes to operations in order 
to comply, and could therefore also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Interchange  Fees.    Under  Section  1075  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Act  (often  referred  to  as  the  “Durbin  Amendment”),  the  Federal 
Reserve  established  standards  for  assessing  whether  the  interchange  fees,  or  “swipe”  fees,  that  banks  charge  for  processing 
electronic  payment  transactions  are  “reasonable  and  proportional”  to  the  costs  incurred  by  issuers  for  processing  such 
transactions.  Under the Federal Reserve’s rules, the maximum permissible interchange fee is no more than 21 cents plus 5 basis 
points of the transaction value for many types of debit interchange transactions. A debit card issuer may also recover one cent 
per  transaction  for  fraud  prevention  purposes  if  the  issuer  develops  and  implements  policies  and  procedures  reasonably 
designed to achieve certain fraud-prevention standards.  The Federal Reserve also has rules governing routing and exclusivity 
that require issuers to offer two unaffiliated networks for routing transactions on each debit or prepaid product.

Activities and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Banks.  Section 24 of the FDIA generally limits the activities and equity 
investments of FDIC-insured, state-chartered banks to those that are permissible for national banks.  Under regulations dealing 
with equity investments, an insured state bank generally may not directly or indirectly acquire or retain any equity investment 
of a type, or in an amount, that is not permissible for a national bank.  An insured state bank is not prohibited from, among 
other things, taking the following actions:

-

-

-

-

acquiring or retaining a majority interest in a subsidiary;

investing as a limited partner in a partnership the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect investment in the 
acquisition,  rehabilitation  or  new  construction  of  a  qualified  housing  project,  provided  that  such  limited 
partnership investments may not exceed 2% of the bank’s total assets;

acquiring up to 10% of the voting stock of a company that solely provides or reinsures directors’, trustees’ and 
officers’ liability insurance coverage or bankers’ blanket bond group insurance coverage for insured depository 
institutions; and

acquiring or retaining the voting shares of a depository institution if certain requirements are met.

11

Under  FDIC  regulations,  insured  banks  engaging  in  impermissible  activities,  or  banks  that  wish  to  engage  in  otherwise 
impermissible activities, may seek approval from the FDIC to continue or commence such activities, as the case may be.  The 
FDIC  will  not  approve  such  an  application  if  the  bank  does  not  meet  its  minimum  capital  requirements  or  the  proposed 
activities present a significant risk to the deposit insurance fund. 

100/300 Test.  In response to rapid growth in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loan concentrations and observed weaknesses in 
risk management practices at some financial institutions, the FDIC, the Federal Reserve, and the Office of the Comptroller of 
the  Currency  published  Joint  Guidance  on  Concentrations  in  Commercial  Real  Estate  Lending,  Sound  Risk  Management 
Practices  (which  we  refer  to  as  the  “CRE  guidance”).    The  CRE  guidance  is  intended  to  promote  sound  risk  management 
practices and appropriate levels of capital to enable institutions to engage in CRE lending in a safe and sound manner.  Federal 
banking  regulators  use  certain  criteria  to  identify  financial  institutions  that  are  potentially  exposed  to  significant  CRE 
concentration risk.  Among other things, an institution will be deemed to potentially have significant CRE concentration risk 
exposure if, based on its call report, either (1) total loans classified as acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) loans 
represent 100% or more of the institution’s total capital or (2) total CRE loans, which consists of ADC and non-owner occupied 
CRE  loans  as  defined  in  the  CRE  guidance,  represent  300%  or  more  the  institution’s  total  capital,  where  the  balance  of  the 
institution’s  CRE  loan  portfolio  has  increased  by  50%  or  more  during  the  prior  36  months.    The  foregoing  criteria  are 
commonly referred to as the 100/300 Test.  As of December 31, 2021, our ADC loans represented 82% of our total bank level 
capital, and our total CRE loans represented 251% of our bank level capital.  

Safety and Soundness.  The federal banking agencies, including the FDIC, have implemented rules and guidelines concerning 
standards for safety and soundness required pursuant to Section 39 of the FDIA.  In general, the standards relate to operational 
and  managerial  matters,  asset  quality  and  earnings  and  compensation.    The  operational  and  managerial  standards  cover  (1) 
internal  controls  and  information  systems,  (2)  internal  audit  systems,  (3)  loan  documentation,  (4)  credit  underwriting,  (5) 
interest rate exposure, (6) asset growth and (7) compensation, fees and benefits.  Under the asset quality and earnings standards, 
the  Bank  must  establish  and  maintain  systems  to  identify  problem  assets  and  prevent  deterioration  in  those  assets  and  to 
evaluate and monitor earnings and ensure that earnings are sufficient to maintain adequate capital reserves.  The compensation 
standard states that compensation will be considered excessive if it is unreasonable or disproportionate to the services actually 
performed by the individual being compensated. 

If  an  insured  state-chartered  bank  fails  to  meet  any  of  the  standards  promulgated  by  regulation,  then  such  institution  will  be 
required to submit a plan to the FDIC specifying the steps it will take to correct the deficiency.  In the event that an insured 
state-chartered bank fails to submit or fails in any material respect to implement a compliance plan within the time allowed by 
the federal banking agency, Section 39 of the FDIA provides that the FDIC must order the institution to correct the deficiency.  
The FDIC may also (1) restrict asset growth; (2) require the bank to increase its ratio of tangible equity to assets; (3) restrict the 
rates of interest that the bank may pay; or (4) take any other action that would better carry out the purpose of prompt corrective 
action.  We believe that the Bank has been and will continue to be in compliance with each of these standards. 

Consumer  Financial  Products  and  Services.    We  are  subject  to  a  broad  array  of  federal  and  state  laws  designed  to  protect 
consumers in connection with our lending activities, including the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 
the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth in Savings Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures 
Act,  the  Electronic  Funds  Transfer  Act,  and,  in  some  cases,  their  respective  state  law  counterparts.    The  CFPB,  which  is  an 
independent bureau within the Federal Reserve, has broad regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority over our offering 
and provision of consumer financial products and services under these laws.  

Relating  to  mortgage  lending  in  particular,  the  CFPB  issued  regulations  governing  the  ability  to  repay,  qualified  mortgages, 
mortgage servicing, appraisals and compensation of mortgage lenders.  These regulations limit the type of mortgage products 
that the Bank can offer; they also affect our ability to enforce delinquent mortgage loans.  The CFPB has also issued complex 
rules  integrating  the  required  disclosures  under  the  Truth  in  Lending  Act,  the  Truth  in  Savings  Act  and  the  Real  Estate 
Settlement  Procedures  Act  (the  “TRID  rules”).    The  TRID  rules  combine  the  prior  good  faith  estimate  and  truth  in  lending 
disclosure form into a new “loan estimate” form and combine the HUD-1 and final truth in lending disclosure forms into a new 
“closing disclosure” form.  

We have established numerous controls and procedures designed to ensure that we fully comply with the TRID rules and all 
other  consumer  protection  laws,  both  federal  and  state,  as  they  are  currently  interpreted  (which  interpretations  are  subject  to 
change  by  the  CFPB).    In  addition,  our  employees  undergo  at  least  annual  training  to  ensure  that  they  remain  aware  of 
consumer protection laws and the activities mandated, or prohibited, thereunder.

Community Reinvestment Act.  Under the Community Reinvestment Act (the “CRA”), the FDIC assesses the Bank’s record in 
meeting the credit needs of its entire community, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.  The FDIC’s assessment 
is  taken  into  account  when  evaluating  any  application  we  submit  for,  among  other  things,  approval  of  the  acquisition  or 

12

establishment of a branch or other deposit facility, an office relocation, a merger or the acquisition of shares of capital stock of 
another  financial  institution.  Under  the  CRA,  institutions  are  assigned  a  rating  of  “outstanding,”  “satisfactory,”  “needs  to 
improve,”  or  “unsatisfactory.”  The  Bank  has  undertaken  significant  actions  to  comply  with  the  CRA,  and  it  received  a 
“satisfactory” rating by the FDIC with respect to its CRA compliance in its most recent assessment. 

Financial  and  State  Privacy  Requirements.    Federal  law  and  regulations  limit  a  financial  institution’s  ability  to  share  a 
customer’s  financial  information  with  unaffiliated  third  parties  and  otherwise  contain  extensive  protections  for  a  customer’s 
private  information.    Specifically,  these  provisions  require  all  financial  institutions  offering  financial  products  or  services  to 
retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy at the beginning of the relationship and 
annually  thereafter.  Further,  such  customers  must  be  given  the  opportunity  to  “opt  out”  of  the  sharing  of  personal  financial 
information with unaffiliated third parties.  The sharing of information for marketing purposes is also subject to limitations. In 
addition to law and regulation at the federal level, a number of states - some of which we have loan or deposit customers in - 
have enacted broad statutes governing the use of an individual’s personal information.  These statutes typically encompass a 
broader scope of personal information than the financial information covered by federal privacy laws and regulations, and the 
statutes  generally  place  more  stringent  restrictions  on  the  ability  of  a  third  party  to  disclose,  share  or  otherwise  use  an 
individual’s  personal  information  than  exist  under  federal  law  and  regulations.    Many  of  these  states’  privacy  laws  and 
regulations impose severe penalties for violations.

The  Bank  has  adopted  a  privacy  policy  and  implemented  procedures  governing  the  use  and  disclosure  of  personal  financial 
information for both customers and non-customers.  We believe our policy and procedures currently comply with all applicable 
laws  and  regulations,  and  we  continually  monitor  federal  and  state  laws,  as  well  as  changes  in  the  nature  and  scope  of  our 
operations, so that any necessary changes in our privacy policy and procedures can be enacted in a timely manner.

Anti-Money Laundering.  Federal anti-money laundering rules impose various requirements on financial institutions intended to 
prevent the use of the U.S. financial system to fund terrorist activities.  These provisions include a requirement that financial 
institutions operating in the United States have anti-money laundering compliance programs, due diligence policies and controls 
to  ensure  the  detection  and  reporting  of  money  laundering.    Such  compliance  programs  supplement  existing  compliance 
requirements,  also  applicable  to  financial  institutions,  under  the  Bank  Secrecy  Act  and  the  Office  of  Foreign  Assets  Control 
regulations.  The Bank has established policies and procedures to ensure compliance with federal anti-money laundering laws 
and regulations.

The  Volcker  Rule.  The  Federal  Reserve  and  the  other  federal  banking  regulators  as  well  as  the  SEC  each  adopted  a  rule, 
commonly  referred  to  as  the  “Volcker  Rule,”  implementing  Section  619  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Act.  Generally  speaking,  the 
Volcker rule prohibits a bank and its affiliates from engaging in proprietary trading and from acquiring or retaining ownership 
interests in, sponsoring, or having relationships with certain “covered funds,” including certain hedge funds and private equity 
funds. The Volcker Rule does not impact any of our current activities, but it does limit the scope of permissible activities in 
which we might engage in the future.

Supervision and Regulation of our Wealth Management and Insurance Operations

Our Wealth Management and Insurance operations are subject to licensing requirements and regulation under the laws of the 
United  States  and  the  states  in  which  they  operate.  The  laws  and  regulations  are  primarily  for  the  benefit  of  clients.  In  all 
jurisdictions, the applicable laws and regulations are subject to amendment by regulatory authorities. Generally, such authorities 
are  vested  with  relatively  broad  discretion  to  grant,  renew  and  revoke  licenses  and  approvals  and  to  implement  regulations. 
Licenses may be denied or revoked for various reasons, including the violation of such regulations, conviction of crimes and the 
like. Other possible sanctions which may be imposed for violation of regulations include suspension of individual employees, 
limitations on engaging in a particular business for a specified period of time, censures and fines.

Monetary Policy and Economic Controls

We and the Bank are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Federal Reserve. An important function of 
the  Federal  Reserve  is  to  regulate  the  national  supply  of  bank  credit  in  order  to  stabilize  prices.  Among  the  instruments  of 
monetary  policy  used  by  the  Federal  Reserve  to  implement  these  objectives  are  open  market  operations  in  U.S.  Government 
securities  and  changes  in  the  discount  rate  on  bank  borrowings.  These  instruments  are  used  in  varying  degrees  to  influence 
overall growth of bank loans, investments and deposits and may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the 
past and are expected to do so in the future. In view of changing conditions in the national economy and in the various money 
markets, as well as the effect of actions by monetary and fiscal authorities including the Federal Reserve, the effect on our, and 
the Bank’s, future business and earnings cannot be predicted with accuracy.

Sources and Availability of Funds

The  funds  essential  to  our,  and  the  Bank’s,  business  consist  primarily  of  funds  derived  from  customer  deposits,  loan 
repayments, cash flows from our investment securities, securities sold under repurchase agreements, Federal Home Loan Bank 
advances  and  subordinated  notes.  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. Additional information about our funding 
sources can be found under the heading "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in this report.

Human Capital Resources

The  Company’s  employees  are  the  key  to  its  success  and  represent  our  greatest  asset.  The  Company’s  strategic  approach  to 
human capital includes (1) attracting, developing and retaining a diverse and talented workforce, (2) providing opportunities for 
learning and advancement within the Company, (3) offering a competitive suite of compensation and benefits, (4) investing in 
the  financial  health  of  our  employees,  and  (5)  obtaining  employee  feedback.  As  of  December  31,  2021,  we  employed  2,409 
people throughout all of our segments on a full-time equivalent basis. Of this total, the Bank accounted for 2,342 employees 
(inclusive of employees in our Community Banks and Wealth Management segments), and Renasant Insurance employed 67 
individuals. The Company has no additional employees. At December 31, 2021, 14 employees of the Bank served as officers of 
the Company in addition to their positions with the Bank.

Throughout 2021, the Company continued personnel policies and procedures implemented in 2020 to minimize our employees’ 
exposure to COVID-19 without impairing our team’s ability to deliver our products to our customers. We remain committed to 
responding  as  circumstances  change.  The  Company  surveyed  its  employees  at  the  end  of  2021  to  gauge  how  employees 
adjusted  to  changes  during  the  pandemic,  as  well  as  learning  about  employees’  overall  satisfaction  with  their  job  and  their 
experience  working  for  the  Company.  The  participation  rate  was  over  65%  and  generally  affirmed  that  our  employees  were 
satisfied with overall working conditions at the Company. 

The Company’s Social Responsibility Diversity and Inclusion Committee (referred to as the “SRDI Committee”), consisting of 
four permanent members and four rotating members, and one ex-officio member, continued its momentum during 2021. During 
2021, the SRDI Committee implemented and communicated key initiatives of the Company’s long-range equality, diversity and 
inclusion (“EDI”) strategic plan, which plan has five key areas of focus: (1) education and communication, (2) diversity in the 
workforce, (3) inclusion in the workplace, (4) vendor/supplier diversity and (5) a commitment to ongoing evaluation of each of 
the previous components.  In 2021, the Company launched an EDI education series and developed an internal resource page to 
reinforce  education  and  to  provide  a  platform  for  employees  to  learn  about  one  another.  The  Company  is  committed  to 
advancing its EDI strategic plan through ongoing internal and external initiatives.

The  Company,  through  its  Organizational  Development  department,  provides  a  wide  array  of  training  and  employee 
engagement, including but not limited to new employee orientation and recognition programs, mentoring, and classroom and 
online education. The Company also supports its employees through external continuing education relevant to the operations of 
the  Company.  In  addition  to  professional  development,  the  Company  provides  bank-paid  and  voluntary  benefits  to  eligible 
employees.  Several of the benefits include wellness benefits to encourage healthier lifestyles and promote self-care.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K and the exhibits hereto, the 
following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business. The risks disclosed below, either alone or in 
combination, could materially adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company. 

Risks Related to Our 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 on loans 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,  2021,  approximately  70.62%  of  our  loan  portfolio  consisted  of  C&I,  construction  and  commercial  real 
estate loans. These types of loans are generally viewed as having more risk to our financial condition than other types of loans 
due primarily to the large amounts loaned to individual borrowers. Because the loan portfolio contains a significant number of 
C&I,  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 nonperforming loans. An increase in nonperforming loans could result in a net loss of 
earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for credit 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.

Our C&I, construction and commercial real estate loan portfolios are discussed in more detail under the heading “Operations – 
Operations of Community Banks” in Item 1, Business, in this report.

Our allowance for credit losses may be insufficient, and we may be required to further increase our provision for credit losses.

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 credit losses, which is a reserve established through a 
provision for credit losses on loans charged to expense, to absorb credit losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The credit 
loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio 
segments.  Credit  quality  is  assessed  and  monitored  by  evaluating  various  attributes,  and  the  results  of  those  evaluations  are 
utilized  in  underwriting  new  loans  and  in  the  Company’s  process  for  the  estimation  of  expected  credit  losses.  Credit  quality 
monitoring procedures and indicators can include an 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 
the  Company’s  risk  rating  system,  regulatory  guidance  and  economic  conditions,  such  as  the  unemployment  rate  and  GDP 
growth in the markets in which the Company operates, as well as trends in the market values of underlying collateral securing 
loans, all as determined based on input from management, loan review staff and other sources. This evaluation is complex and 
inherently  subjective,  as  it  requires  estimates  by  management  that  are  inherently  uncertain  and  therefore  susceptible  to 
significant revision as more information becomes available. In future periods, evaluations of the overall loan portfolio, in light 
of the factors and forecasts then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance and provision for credit losses in 
those future periods.

Any deterioration of current and future economic conditions could cause us to experience higher than normal delinquencies and 
credit  losses.  As  a  result,  we  may  be  required  to  make  further  increases  in  our  provision  for  credit  losses  and  to  charge  off 
additional loans in the future, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Bank regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for credit losses and may require an increase in the provision for 
credit 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 credit losses, we will incur additional provision expense to increase the 
allowance for credit losses. Any increase in our provision for credit 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. A discussion of the policies 
and procedures related to management’s process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for credit losses is set 
forth under the headings “Critical Accounting Policies” and “Risk Management – Credit Risk and Allowance for Credit Losses 
on Loans and Unfunded Commitments” in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations, in this report.

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 

15

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. In response to the COVID-19 
pandemic, the Federal Reserve decreased the federal funds target rate in March 2020, and it now appears poised to raise the 
target rate to combat inflationary conditions. 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, and (2) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities.

Our financial results are constantly exposed to market risk.

Market  risk  refers  to  the  probability  of  variations  in  net  interest  income  or  the  fair  value  of  our  assets  and  liabilities  due  to 
changes in interest rates, among other things. The primary source of market risk to us is the impact of changes in interest rates 
on net interest income. We are subject to market risk because of the following factors:

— Assets and liabilities may mature or reprice at different times. For example, if assets reprice more slowly than liabilities 

and interest rates are generally rising, earnings may initially decline.

— Assets  and  liabilities  may  reprice  at  the  same  time  but  by  different  amounts.  For  example,  when  interest  rates  are 
generally rising, we may increase rates charged on loans by an amount that is less than the general increase in market 
interest rates because of intense pricing competition, while similarly intense pricing competition for deposits dictates that 
we raise our deposit rates in line with the general increase in market rates. Also, risk occurs when assets and liabilities 
have similar repricing frequencies but are tied to different market interest rate indices that may not move in tandem.
— Short-term and long-term market interest rates may change by different amounts, i.e., the shape of the yield curve may 

affect new loan yields and funding costs differently.

— The remaining maturity of various assets and liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change. For example, if 
long-term mortgage interest rates decline sharply, mortgage backed securities held in our securities portfolio may prepay 
significantly earlier than anticipated, which could reduce portfolio income. If prepayment rates on our loans increase, we 
would  be  required  to  amortize  net  premiums  into  income  over  a  shorter  period  of  time,  thereby  reducing  the 
corresponding asset yield and net interest income.

— Interest rates may have an indirect impact on loan demand, credit losses, loan origination volume, the value of financial 
assets and financial liabilities, gains and losses on sales of securities and loans, the value of mortgage servicing rights and 
other sources of earnings.

Although management believes it has implemented effective asset and liability management strategies to reduce market risk on 
the  results  of  our  operations,  these  strategies  are  based  on  assumptions  that  may  be  incorrect.  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.

A discussion of our policies and procedures used to identify, assess and manage certain interest rate risk is set forth under the 
heading “Risk Management – Interest Rate Risk” in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations, in this report.

The  discontinuation  of  the  London  Interbank  Offered  Rate  (“LIBOR”)  as  a  financial  benchmark  may  adversely  affect  our 
business and financial results.

The  discontinuation  of  LIBOR  as  a  financial  benchmark  presents  risks  to  the  financial  instruments  originated  or  held  by  the 
Company. Prior to January 1, 2022, LIBOR was the reference rate used for many of our transactions, including a substantial 
portion of our variable rate loans as well as our borrowings and securities; in addition, the derivatives that we used to manage 
risk  related  to  the  foregoing  transactions  were  tied  to  LIBOR  prior  to  January  1,  2022.  Although  some  LIBOR  tenors  were 
discontinued at the end of 2021, the LIBOR tenors impacting the Company's financial instruments will continue to be quoted 
until June 30, 2023.

16

When one-month LIBOR, which is the LIBOR tenor that the Company most frequently uses, is fully discontinued after June 30, 
2023, there may be uncertainty or differences in the calculation of the applicable interest rate or payment amount depending on 
the terms of the governing instruments.  We have made significant efforts to amend these governing instruments and transition 
to a new reference rate.  Nevertheless, any such uncertainty may increase operational and other risks to the Company and the 
industry.

While  there  is  no  consensus  yet  on  what  rate  or  rates  may  become  accepted  alternatives  to  LIBOR,  a  steering  committee 
comprised  of  large  U.S.  financial  institutions,  the  Alternative  Reference  Rate  Committee  (“ARRC”)  selected  the  Secured 
Overnight Finance Rate (“SOFR”) as an alternative to LIBOR. SOFR has been published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New 
York  (“FRBNY”)  since  May  2018,  and  it  is  intended  to  be  a  broad  measure  of  the  cost  of  borrowing  cash  overnight 
collateralized  by  U.S.  Treasury  securities.  ARRC  has  proposed  a  paced  market  transition  plan  to  SOFR  from  LIBOR  and 
organizations are currently considering industry wide and company-specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash 
markets exposed to LIBOR.

The  Company’s  4.50%  fixed-to-floating  rate  subordinated  notes  due  2035  and  its  3.00%  fixed-to-floating  rate  subordinated 
notes  due  2031  are  linked  to  SOFR,  and  the  Company  has  adopted  daily  simple  SOFR  in  lieu  of  LIBOR  as  the  primary 
reference rate for its lending transactions with other reference rates used on a case-by-case basis.  There can be no assurances, 
however,  that,  regardless  of  the  Company’s  decision,  SOFR  will  be  widely  adopted  as  the  replacement  reference  rate  for 
LIBOR.    Accordingly,  the  Company  may  need  to  select  a  different  reference  rate,  or  multiple  rates  in  order  to  maintain  its 
competitive position.  In addition, because SOFR is published by the FRBNY based on data received from other sources, we 
have  no  control  over  its  determination,  calculation  or  publication.  Finally,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  SOFR  will  not  be 
discontinued or fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the parties that utilize SOFR as the reference 
rate for transactions.

The market transition away from LIBOR to an alternative reference rate, including SOFR, is complex and could have a range of 
adverse  effects  on  our  business,  financial  condition,  and  results  of  operations.  In  particular,  any  such  transition  could:

— adversely  affect  the  interest  rates  paid  or  received  on,  and  the  revenue  and  expenses  associated  with,  our  floating  rate 
obligations,  loans,  deposits,  derivatives  and  other  financial  instruments  tied  to  LIBOR  rates,  or  other  securities  or 
financial arrangements given LIBOR's role in determining market interest rates globally;

— adversely affect the value of our floating rate obligations, loans, deposits, derivatives and other financial instruments tied 

to LIBOR rates, or other securities or financial arrangements;

— result in disputes, litigation or other actions with counterparties regarding the interpretation and enforceability of certain 

fallback language in LIBOR-based notes, securities and other instruments; and

— require  the  transition  to  or  development  of  appropriate  systems  and  analytics  to  effectively  transition  our  risk 
management processes from LIBOR-based products to those based on the applicable alternative pricing benchmark.

Finally,  the  implementation  of  LIBOR  reform  proposals  may  result  in  increased  compliance  costs  and  operational  costs 
including costs related to continued participation in LIBOR and the transition to a replacement reference rate or rates, which 
could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 

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

Maintaining adequate liquidity is crucial to the operation of our business.  We need sufficient liquidity to meet customer loan 
requests, deposit maturities and withdrawals and other cash commitments arising in both the ordinary course of business and in 
other unpredictable circumstances.  We rely on dividends from the Bank as our primary source of funds. The primary source of 
the  Bank’s  funds  are  customer  deposits,  loan  repayments,  proceeds  from  our  investment  securities  and  borrowings.  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, pandemics, 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. 

If  the  aforementioned  sources  of  liquidity  are  not  adequate  for  our  needs,  we  may  attempt  to  raise  additional  capital  in  the 
equity or debt 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. 

17

If we are unable to meet our liquidity needs through any of the aforementioned sources, whether at all or at the time or the cost 
that  we  anticipate,  we  may  be  required  to  slow  or  discontinue  loan  growth,  capital  expenditures  or  other  investments  or 
liquidate assets.

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,  other  financial  information  and  appraisals  of  the 
value  of  collateral.  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, other financial information or appraisals could have a material adverse effect on our business and, in 
turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

Competition in our 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, fintech companies and other financial intermediaries. The information under the heading “Competition” in Item 1, 
Business, in this report provides more information regarding the competitive conditions in our growth markets.

Our  industry  could  become  even  more  competitive  as  a  result  of  legislative,  regulatory  and  technological  changes.  We  also 
expect continued consolidation in the banking industry as a result of, among other things, elevated regulatory compliance and 
other legal costs and the benefits of scale when making investments in new technology. 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, 
legislative  and  regulatory  changes  on  both  the  federal  and  state  level  may  materially  affect  competitive  conditions  in  our 
industry. Finally, technology has lowered barriers to entry and made it possible for non-banks to offer products and services 
traditionally  provided  by  banks,  such  as  loans  and  automatic  transfer  and  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 and 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.

We may be adversely affected by the soundness of other financial institutions and other third parties.

Entities  within  the  financial  services  industry  are  interrelated  as  a  result  of  trading,  clearing,  counterparty  and  other 
relationships. We have exposure to many different industries and counterparties and from time to time execute transactions with 
counterparties in the financial services industry, including commercial banks, brokers and dealers, investment banks and other 
institutional clients. Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of a default by a counterparty or client. In 
addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when the collateral we hold cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices not 
sufficient  to  recover  the  full  amount  of  the  credit  due  to  us.  Any  such  losses  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our 
financial condition and results of operations.

18

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

We  and  the  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,  while  consumer 
protection statutes are primarily focused on the protection of the users of our lending and deposit services. These regulations 
affect  our  lending  practices,  capital  structure,  investment  practices,  dividend  policy  and  growth,  among  other  things.  In 
addition, significant changes to such regulations have been proposed or may be proposed. Changes to statutes, regulations or 
regulatory policies, including changes in interpretation or implementation of the foregoing, could affect us and/or the 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  the  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, “well 
managed”  under  regulatory  examination  procedures  or  “satisfactory”  under  the  CRA  could  compromise  our  status  as  a  bank 
holding company and related eligibility for a streamlined review process for merger or acquisition proposals and would result in 
higher deposit insurance premiums assessed by the FDIC.

We are also subject to various privacy, data protection and information security laws. Under the GLB Act, we are subject to 
limitations on our ability to share our customers’ nonpublic personal information with unaffiliated parties, and we are required 
to provide certain disclosures to our customers about our data collection and security practices.  Customers have the right to opt 
out of our disclosure of their personal financial information to unaffiliated parties. We are also subject to state laws regulating 
the  privacy  of  individual's  private  information,  many  of  which  are  more  restrictive,  and  have  more  severe  sanctions  for 
noncompliance,  than  the  GLB  Act.  Finally,  the  GLB  Act  requires  us  to  develop,  implement  and  maintain  a  written 
comprehensive  information  security  program  containing  appropriate  safeguards  for  our  customers’  nonpublic  personal 
information. Our failure to comply with privacy, data protection and information security laws and regulations could result in 
regulatory or governmental investigations and/or fines, sanctions and other expenses which could have a material adverse effect 
on our financial condition and results of operations.

As  a  public  company,  we  are  also  subject  to  laws,  regulations  and  standards  relating  to  corporate  governance  and  public 
disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Act and SEC regulations. These laws, regulations and 
standards  are  subject  to  varying  interpretations,  amendment  or  outright  repeal.    As  a  result,  the  amendment  or  repeal  of  any 
such  laws,  regulations  or  standards,  or  the  issuance  of  new  guidance  for  complying  therewith  by  regulatory  and  governing 
bodies, 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. Although 
we have not yet been subject to any sanctions or penalties that have had a material impact on our business, financial condition 
or results of operations, such material violations could occur, even though we have policies and procedures designed to prevent 
such  violations.  The  information  under  the  heading  “Supervision  and  Regulation”  in  Item  1,  Business,  and  Note  21, 
“Regulatory Matters,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary 
Data, in this report provides more information regarding the regulatory environment in which we and the Bank operate.

Higher FDIC deposit insurance premiums and assessments could adversely affect our financial condition.

In  order  to  replenish  the  Deposit  Insurance  Fund  following  the  recession  in  2008-2009,  the  FDIC  significantly  increased  the 
assessment rates paid by financial institutions for deposit insurance.  In November 2018, the DIF reached the minimum reserve 
ratio of 1.35% required under the Dodd-Frank Act, which resulted in the discontinuance of the assessment surcharges that had 
been charged to banks with greater than $10 billion in assets like the Bank. However, under the Dodd-Frank Act, if the reserve 
ratio  falls  or  is  projected  within  6  months  to  fall  below  1.35%,  or  if  the  FDIC  increases  reserves  against  future  losses,  the 
increased  assessments  are  to  be  borne  primarily  by  institutions  with  assets  greater  than  $10  billion,  which  will  apply  to  the 

19

Bank. Any increases in FDIC insurance premiums and any special assessments may adversely affect our financial condition and 
results of operations. 

The  Company’s  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  contain  estimates  and  assumptions  made  by  management  that 
could be inaccurate. 

Accounting  estimates  and  processes  are  fundamental  to  how  we  record  and  report  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) require our management to make estimates 
about future events that are inherently uncertain. We use models and other forecasting processes to make these estimates.  In 
doing so, management must choose between many alternatives, all of which may be reasonable under prevailing circumstances. 
As  a  result,  these  models  and  other  forecasting  processes  may  reflect  assumptions  that  ultimately  prove  to  be  inaccurate, 
particularly  in  times  of  market  stress  or  other  unforeseen  circumstances.  Even  if  these  assumptions  are  adequate,  the  models 
may  include  flaws  in  their  design  or  their  implementation,  including  flaws  caused  by  failures  in  controls,  data  management, 
human  error  or  from  the  reliance  on  technology.  Because  of  the  uncertainty  and  subjectivity  surrounding  management’s 
judgments  and  the  estimates  pertaining  to  these  matters,  the  Company  cannot  guarantee  that  it  will  not  be  required  to  adjust 
accounting policies or restate prior period financial statements. Any such failure in our analytical or forecasting models could 
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Critical Accounting Policies 
and Estimates” and Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Changes  in  accounting  standards  issued  by  FASB  or  other  standard-setting  bodies  may  adversely  affect  our  financial 
statements.

Our financial statements are subject to the application of GAAP, which are periodically revised and/or expanded. From time to 
time,  FASB  or  other  accounting  standard  setting  bodies  adopt  new  accounting  standards  or  amend  existing  standards.  In 
addition,  market  conditions  often  prompt  these  bodies  to  promulgate  new  guidance  that  further  interprets  or  seeks  to  revise 
accounting  pronouncements  related  to  financial  instruments,  structures  or  transactions  as  well  as  to  issue  new  standards 
expanding disclosures. Our estimate of the impact of accounting developments that have been issued but not yet implemented is 
disclosed in our annual reports on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, but the impact of these changes often is 
difficult to precisely assess.  In some cases, we could be required to apply a new or revised standard retroactively, resulting in 
changes  to  previously  reported  financial  results,  or  a  cumulative  charge  to  retained  earnings.    It  is  possible  that  future 
accounting  standards  that  we  are  required  to  adopt  could  change  the  current  accounting  treatment  that  we  apply  to  our 
consolidated financial statements and that such changes could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of 
operations.

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.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our business may be adversely affected by current economic conditions in general and specifically in the markets in which we 
operate.

General business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad can materially affect our business and operations and 
the  businesses  and  operations  of  our  customers.  A  weak  U.S.  economy  is  likely  to  cause  uncertainty  about  the  federal  fiscal 
policymaking  process,  the  medium  and  long-term  fiscal  outlook  of  the  federal  government  and  future  tax  rates.  In  addition, 
economic and other conditions in foreign countries could affect the stability of global financial markets and adversely impact 
global supply chains, which could hinder U.S. economic growth.

Weak  economic  conditions  are  characterized  by  deflation,  fluctuations  in  debt  and  equity  capital  markets,  a  lack  of  liquidity 
and/or depressed prices in the secondary market for mortgage loans, increased delinquencies on mortgage, consumer and C&I 

20

loans, residential and commercial real estate price declines and lower home sales and commercial activity. All of these factors 
are detrimental to our business, and the interplay between these factors can be complex and unpredictable. Our business is also 
significantly affected by monetary and related policies of the U.S. federal government and its agencies. Changes in any of these 
policies  are  influenced  by  macroeconomic  conditions  and  other  factors  that  are  beyond  our  control.  Adverse  economic 
conditions  and  government  policy  responses  to  such  conditions  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  businesses  and 
operations of our customers and in turn on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

More  particularly,  much  of  our  business  development  and  marketing  strategy  is  directed  toward  fulfilling  the  banking  and 
financial services needs of small to medium size businesses.  Such businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms 
of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions negatively impact the markets in which we 
operate  and  these  businesses  are  adversely  affected,  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  may  be  negatively 
affected.

We have a high concentration of loans secured by real estate.

At December 31, 2021, approximately 83.61% of our loan portfolio had real estate as a primary or secondary component of the 
collateral securing the loan. The real estate provides an alternate source of repayment in the event of a default by the borrower. 
Any adverse change in real estate values in our markets could significantly impair the value of the particular 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.  Furthermore,  in  a  declining  real  estate  market,  we  often  will  need  to  further  increase  our  allowance  for  credit  losses  to 
address the deterioration in the value of the real estate securing our loans. Any of the foregoing 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.

In addition to the general risks associated with our lending activities described above, including the effects of declines in real 
estate values, commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans are subject to additional risks. These loans depend on cash flows from the 
property  to  service  the  debt.  Cash  flows,  either  in  the  form  of  rental  income  or  the  proceeds  from  sales  of  commercial  real 
estate,  may  be  affected  significantly  by  general  economic  conditions.  A  general  downturn  in  the  local  economy  where  the 
property is located, or a decline in occupancy rates in particular, could increase the likelihood of default. An increase in defaults 
in  our  CRE  loan  portfolio  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  At 
December 31, 2021, we had approximately $5.7 billion in commercial real estate loans, representing approximately 56.42% of 
our loans outstanding on that date, as follows:

As  discussed  under  the  heading  “Supervision  and  Regulation”  in  Item  1,  Business,  above,  the  federal  banking  agencies 
promulgated  guidance  regarding  when  an  institution  will  be  deemed  to  potentially  have  significant  CRE  concentration  risk 
exposure, as indicated by the results of the 100/300 Test.  Although the 100/300 Test is not a limit on our lending activity, if 
any future results of a 100/300 Test evaluation show us to have a potential CRE concentration risk, we may elect, or be required 
by our regulators, to adopt additional risk management practices or other limits on our activities, which could have a material 
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

A failure or breach of our operational or security systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could disrupt our business, 
result  in  the  disclosure  or  misuse  of  confidential  or  proprietary  information,  damage  our  reputation  and  create  significant 
financial and legal exposure for us.

As  a  financial  institution,  we  rely  heavily  on  our  ability,  and  the  ability  of  our  third  party  service  providers,  to  securely  and 
reliably  process,  record,  transmit  and  monitor  confidential  and  other  information  through  our  and  our  third  party  service 
provider’s  computer  systems  and  networks.    Our  operational  systems,  including,  among  other  things,  deposit  and  loan 
servicing,  online  and  mobile  banking,  wealth  management,  accounting  and  data  processing,  could  be  materially  adversely 

21

 
 
 
impacted by a failure, interruption or breach in the security or integrity of any of these systems, whether our own or one of our 
third party service provider’s.  Threats to these systems come from a variety of sources, including computer hacking involving 
the introduction of computer viruses or malware, cyber-attacks, identity theft, electronic fraudulent activity and attempted theft 
of  financial  assets.    These  threats  are  very  sophisticated  and  constantly  evolving.  In  addition,  our  systems  are  threatened  by 
unpredictable events such as terrorist attacks, power outages or tornadoes or other natural disasters.

We  have  invested  a  significant  amount  of  time  and  expense,  in  security  infrastructure  investments  and  the  development  of 
policies  and  procedures  governing  our  operations  as  well  as  employee  training  and  monitoring  of  our  third  party  service 
providers,  in  our  efforts  to  preserve  the  security  and  integrity  of  our  systems  from  the  aforementioned  threats.  Despite  these 
efforts, we can provide no assurances that our systems, or our provider’s systems, will not experience any failures, interruptions 
or security breaches or that, if any such failures, interruptions or breaches occur, they will be addressed in a timely and adequate 
manner.  If the security and integrity of our systems, or the systems of one of our providers, are compromised, our operations 
could  be  significantly  disrupted  and  our  or  our  customers  confidential  information  could  be  misappropriated,  among  other 
things.  This in turn could result in financial losses to us or our customers, lasting damage to our reputation, the violation of 
privacy or other laws and significant litigation risk, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition 
and results of operations.

We rely extensively on a number of third party service providers.

Third-party  service  providers  provide  certain  products  and  services  necessary  to  maintain  our  day-to-day  operations.    In 
addition  to  the  information  security  risks  discussed  immediately  above,  we  are  subject  to  risks  associated  with  a  service 
provider’s failure to provide the agreed-upon products or services for reasons not related to information security or its delivery 
of a product or provision of services at a level or in a manner that does not satisfy our expectations.  Such poor performance 
may  be  due  to  the  service  provider’s  failure  to  meet  its  contractual  service  level  standards  (due  to,  among  other  reasons, 
insufficient  support  for  its  existing  products  and  services  or  a  change  in  its  strategic  focus)  or  simply  because  the  service 
provider’s products or services do not include the functionality, convenience or other aspects necessary to compete effectively 
in  the  marketplace.  Although  we  rigorously  evaluate  potential  third  party  service  providers  before  entering  into  a  business 
arrangement, we ultimately do not control the service provider’s performance of its contractual obligations or its actions with 
respect  thereto.  A  service  provider’s  failure  to  meet  its  contractual  obligations  or  otherwise  perform  as  expected  could  be 
disruptive  to  our  operations,  which  could  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.  Further, replacing service providers often entails significant delay and expense.

Our risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss to us. 

We are subject to numerous risks, including lending risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, market risk, information security risk 
and model risk, among other risks encountered in the ordinary course of our operations.  We have implemented processes and 
procedures  designed  to  identify,  measure,  monitor  and  mitigate  these  risks.  However,  all  risk  management  frameworks  are 
inherently limited, for a number of reasons. First, we may not have identified all material risks affecting our operations. Next, 
our current procedures may not anticipate future development of currently unanticipated or unknown risks. Also, we may have 
underestimated  the  impact  of  known  risks  or  overestimated  the  effectiveness  of  the  policies  and  procedures  we  have 
implemented to mitigate these risks.  Increases in the scope and complexity of our operations and our reliance, among other 
things, have increased the level of risk that we must manage.  Accordingly, we could suffer losses as a result of our failure to 
properly anticipate and manage these risks.

Our financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if we fail to grow or fail to manage our growth 
effectively.

Historically, we have grown our business through the acquisition of entire financial institutions and through de novo branching 
and we intend to continue pursuing this growth strategy for the foreseeable future. Our prospects must be considered in light of 
the  risks,  expenses  and  difficulties  frequently  encountered  by  companies  when  expanding  their  franchise,  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.

22

Operating  Results.  Existing  offices  or  future  offices  may  not  maintain  or  achieve  deposit  levels,  loan  balances  or  other 
operating  results  necessary  to  avoid  losses  or  produce  profits  in  an  efficient  manner.  Our  growth  strategy  necessarily  entails 
growth in overhead expenses as we add new offices and staff. Our historical results may not be indicative of future results or 
results  that  may  be  achieved  if  we  increase  the  number  of  our  branch  offices.  Should  any  new  location  be  unprofitable  or 
marginally profitable, or should existing locations 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.

Expansion into New Markets. Much of our recent growth has been focused in the highly-competitive metropolitan areas within 
our footprint. In these growth markets we face competition from a wide array of financial institutions, including much larger, 
well-established financial institutions.

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,  or  a  delay  in  obtaining,  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 fail to realize the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions.

The  success  of  our  acquisitions  will  depend  on,  among  other  things,  our  ability  to  realize  anticipated  cost  savings  and  to 
integrate the acquired assets and operations in a manner that permits growth opportunities and does not materially disrupt our 
existing  customer  relationships  or  result  in  decreased  revenues  resulting  from  any  loss  of  customers.  If  we  are  not  able  to 
successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all or may take 
longer to realize than expected. Additionally, we will make fair value estimates of certain assets and liabilities in recording each 
acquisition. Actual values of these assets and liabilities could differ from our estimates, which could result in our not achieving 
the anticipated benefits of the particular acquisition.

We cannot assure investors that our acquisitions will have positive results, including results relating to: correctly assessing the 
asset  quality  of  the  assets  acquired;  the  total  cost  of  integration,  including  management  attention  and  resources;  the  time 
required to complete the integration successfully; the amount of longer-term cost savings; being able to profitably deploy funds 
acquired in the transaction; retaining the existing client relationships; or the overall performance of the combined business.

Our future growth and profitability depends, in part, on our ability to successfully manage the combined operations. Integration 
of an acquired business can be complex and costly, and we may encounter a number of difficulties, such as:

— deposit attrition, customer loss and revenue loss;
— the loss of key employees;
— the disruption of our operations and business;
— our inability to maintain and increase competitive presence;
— possible inconsistencies in standards, control procedures and policies; and/or
— unexpected problems with costs, operations, personnel, technology and credit.

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

We may continue to experience increased credit costs or need to take additional markdowns and make additional provisions to 
the  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  loans.  Any  of  these  actions  could  adversely  affect  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations  in  the  future.  In  addition,  the  attention  and  effort  devoted  to  the  integration  of  an  acquired  business  may  divert 
management’s attention from other important issues and could harm our business.

We may face risks with respect to future acquisitions.

When  we  attempt  to  expand  our  business  through  mergers  and  acquisitions  (including  FDIC-assisted  transactions),  we  seek 
targets that are culturally similar to us, have experienced management and possess either significant market presence or have 

23

potential  for  improved  profitability  through  economies  of  scale  or  expanded  services  or,  in  the  case  of  FDIC-assisted 
transactions,  on  account  of  the  loss  share  arrangements  with  the  FDIC  associated  with  such  transactions.  In  addition  to  the 
general risks associated with our growth plans and the particular risks associated with FDIC-assisted transactions, both of which 
are  highlighted  above,  in  general  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 targets;

— 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 acquired businesses.

We  expect  to  continue  to  evaluate  merger  and  acquisition  opportunities  (including  FDIC-assisted  transactions)  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. Historically, acquisitions of non-failed financial institutions involve the 
payment  of  a  premium  over  book  and  market  values,  and,  therefore,  some  dilution  of  our  book  value  and  net  income  per 
common  share  may  occur  in  connection  with  any  future  transaction.  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.

Risks Associated With 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 the Bank, and we receive substantially all of our revenue from dividends from 
the Bank. These dividends are the principal source of funds to pay dividends on our common stock and interest and principal on 
our debt. Various federal and/or state laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank may pay to us. In the 
event the Bank is unable to pay dividends to us, we may not be able to service our debt, pay our obligations or pay dividends on 
our  common  stock.  The  inability  to  receive  dividends  from  the  Bank  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business, 
financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.  The  information  under  Note  20,  “Restrictions  on  Cash,  Securities,  Bank 
Dividends,  Loans  or  Advances,”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  Item  8,  Financial  Statements  and 
Supplementary Data, in this report provides a detailed discussion about the restrictions governing the Bank’s ability to transfer 
funds to us.

Our stock price can be volatile.

Stock  price  volatility  may  make  it  more  difficult  for  an  investor  to  resell  our  common  stock  when  desired  and  at  attractive 
prices. 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
— civil unrest and geopolitical conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts.

24

General  market  fluctuations,  industry  factors  and  general  economic  and  political  conditions  and  events,  such  as  economic 
slowdowns  or  recessions,  pandemics,  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 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 generally less than that of many of our competitors and other bank holding companies that are publicly-
traded companies.  For the 60 days ended February 18, 2022, the average daily trading volume for Renasant common stock was 
288,154 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.

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

We have supported a portion of our growth through the issuance of trust preferred securities from special purpose trusts and 
accompanying junior subordinated debentures. Also, in connection with our acquisitions of other financial institutions, we have 
assumed junior subordinated debentures. 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  (such  dividend  restrictions  do  not 
apply  to  our  outstanding  subordinated  notes).  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 Annual Report on Form 10-K and is subject to the same market forces that affect the 
price of common stock in any company. As a result, an investor may lose some or all of its investment in our common stock.

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 shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock without any further 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 perceived to be favorable to our shareholders.

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 any other private or public offering of 
our  common  stock  for  cash  or  as  incentives  under  equity  incentive  plans,  could  have  a  dilutive  effect  on  the  market  for  our 
common  stock  and  could  adversely  affect  market  prices.  As  of  February  18,  2022,  there  were  150,000,000  shares  of  our 
common stock authorized, of which 55,815,152 shares were outstanding.

ITEM  7.  MANAGEMENT’S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND  RESULTS  OF 
OPERATIONS

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and results of operations  
for each of the years then ended should be read together with the cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements at 
the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our consolidated financial statements and related notes included under 
Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as Part II, Item 7, 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 2020, which provides a discussion of 2019 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2020 
and 2019 that are not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Performance Overview

Net income was $175,892 for 2021 compared to $83,651 for 2020. Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $3.13 
and  $3.12,  respectively,  for  2021  compared  to  $1.49  and  $1.48,  respectively,  for  2020.  At  December  31,  2021,  total  assets 
increased  to  $16,810,311  from  $14,929,612  at  December  31,  2020.  The  changes  in  our  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations  from  2020  to  2021  were  driven  by  a  number  of  factors,  the  most  prominent  of  which  are  highlighted  below:

Financial Highlights
— Net interest income decreased $2,796 to $424,001 for 2021 as compared to $426,797 for 2020. The decrease from 2020 
to 2021 was due to the continued decline in loan yields due to the current rate environment, as well as changes in the mix 
of earning assets during the year due to increased liquidity on the balance sheet, partially offset by a decline in our cost of 
funds. The Company has continued to focus on lowering the cost of funding through both growing noninterest-bearing 
deposits and aggressively lowering interest rates on interest-bearing deposits.

— Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.10% and 0.04% in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company 
recorded a recovery of provision for credit losses on loans of $1,700 in 2021 as compared to a provision for credit losses 
of $85,350 in 2020. The decrease year over year is reflective of the continued economic improvement and stable credit 
metrics. 

— Noninterest  income  was  $226,984  for  2021  compared  to  $235,532  for  2020.  The  decrease  in  noninterest  income  is 
primarily  attributable  to  decreased  mortgage  production  during  the  year,  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  other  fee 
income categories.

— Noninterest expense was $429,826 and $471,988 for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in noninterest expense is 
primarily attributable to decreases in salaries and employee benefits, which decreased partially due to the voluntary early 
retirement program offered in 2020 and other expense initiatives. Salaries and employee benefits for 2020 also included 
approximately  $8,237  in  expense  related  to  employee  overtime  and  employee  benefit  accruals  directly  related  to  the 
Company's response to both the COVID-19 pandemic itself and federal legislation enacted to address the pandemic, such 
as the CARES Act. The Company also had a decrease in net occupancy and equipment in 2021 resulting from the branch 
efficiency initiatives implemented in late 2020.

— Loans,  net  of  unearned  income,  were  $10,020,914  at  December  31,  2021  compared  to  $10,933,647  at  December  31, 
2020, which represents a decrease of 8.35% from the previous year. The balance of PPP loans decreased to $58,391 at 
December 31, 2021 from $1,128,703 at December 31, 2020, while loans other than PPP loans increased by $157,579, or 
1.61%, from December 31, 2020.

— Deposits  totaled  $13,905,724  at  December  31,  2021  compared  to  $12,059,081  at  December  31,  2020.  Noninterest 
bearing deposits averaged $4,310,834, or 33.15% of average deposits, for 2021 compared to $3,391,619, or 29.79% of 
average deposits, for 2020.

heading at the end of this Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared using accounting estimates for various accounts. Wherever feasible, we utilize third-party 
information  to  provide  management  with  estimates.  Although  independent  third  parties  are  engaged  to  assist  us  in  the 
estimation  process,  management  evaluates  the  results,  challenges  assumptions  and  considers  other  factors  that  could  impact 
these estimates. We monitor the status of proposed and newly issued accounting standards to evaluate the impact (or potential 
impact) on our financial condition and results of operations or on the preparation of our financial statements. Our accounting 
policies, including the impact of newly issued accounting standards, are discussed in detail in Note 1, “Significant Accounting 
Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this 
report. The following discussion supplements the discussion of our significant accounting policies in the financial statements.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The accounting estimate most important to the presentation of our financial statements relates to the allowance for credit losses 
and the related provision for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of expected losses inherent within the 
Company’s loans held for investment portfolio and is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb such 
expected  credit  losses,  as  prescribed  by  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  Accounting  Standards 
Codification Topic (“ASC”) 326, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”). Management evaluates the adequacy 
of  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  a  quarterly  basis.  Please  refer  to  the  discussion  under  the  heading  “Loans  and  the 
Allowance for Credit Losses” in Note 1, “Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 
in  Item  8,  Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data,  in  this  report  for  more  information  regarding  the  estimates  and 
assumptions, and the uncertainties underlying such estimates and assumptions, involved in the calculation of the allowance for 
credit losses.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, the appropriate level of the allowance was based on an ongoing analysis 
of  the  loan  portfolio  and  represented  an  amount  that  management  deemed  adequate  to  provide  for  inherent  losses,  including 
collective  impairment  as  recognized  under  ASC  450,  “Contingencies”  (“ASC  450”),  in  our  loan  portfolio.  Collective 
impairment was calculated based on loans grouped by grade. Another component of the allowance was losses on loans assessed 
as impaired under ASC 310, “Receivables” (“ASC 310”). The balance of the loans determined to be impaired under ASC 310 
and  the  related  allowance  was  included  in  management’s  estimation  and  analysis  of  the  allowance  for  loan  losses.  The 
determination of the appropriate level of the allowance was sensitive to a variety of internal factors, primarily historical loss 
ratios and assigned risk ratings, and external factors, primarily the economic environment. While no one factor was dominant, 
each could cause actual loan losses to differ materially from originally estimated amounts. 

For  more  information  about  our  loan  policies  and  procedures  for  addressing  credit  risk,  as  well  as  for  a  discussion  of  the 
changes in the allowance for credit losses in 2020 and 2021, please refer to the disclosures in this Item under the heading “Risk 
Management – Credit Risk and Allowance for Credit Losses.” 

Business Combinations, Accounting for Purchased Loans

The Company accounts for its acquisitions under ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” which requires the use of the acquisition 
method  of  accounting.  For  more  information  about  the  accounting  for  acquisitions,  please  refer  to  the  information  under  the 
heading  “Business  Combinations,  Accounting  for  Purchased  Credit  Deteriorated  Loans  and  Related  Assets”  in  Note  1, 
“Significant  Accounting  Policies,”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  Item  8,  Financial  Statements  and 
Supplementary Data, in this report.

30

Prior to the adoption of ASC 326 on January 1, 2020, in regards to a purchased loan, no allowance for loan losses was recorded 
on the acquisition date because the fair value measurements incorporated assumptions regarding credit risk. This applied even 
to a purchased loan with evidence of credit deterioration since origination pursuant to ASC 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities 
Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” (“ASC 310-30”). Generally speaking, rather than carry over an allowance for loan 
losses, as part of the acquisition we established a “Day 1 Fair Value” of a purchased loan or pools of purchased loans sharing 
common risk characteristics, which was equal to the outstanding balance of a purchased loan or pool on the acquisition date less 
any credit and/or yield discount applied against the purchased loan or pool of loans.  In other words, these loans or pools of 
loans were carried at values which represented our estimate of their future cash flows.  After the acquisition date, a purchased 
loan or pool of loans either met or exceeded the performance expectations established in determining the Day 1 Fair Values or 
deteriorated  from  such  expected  performance  which  resulted  in  accelerated  accretion  or  impairment  recognized  through  the 
provision for loan losses.

Additional  details  about  loans  acquired  in  connection  with  our  acquisitions  is  set  forth  below  under  the  heading  “Risk 
Management - Credit Risk and Allowance for Credit Losses” and in Note 4, “Purchased Loans” in the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this report.

Financial Condition

The  following  discussion  provides  details  regarding  the  changes  in  significant  balance  sheet  accounts  at  December  31,  2021 
compared  to  December  31,  2020.  Total  assets  were  $16,810,311  at  December  31,  2021  compared  to  $14,929,612  at 
December 31, 2020.  

Securities

The  securities  portfolio  is  used  to  provide  a  source  for  meeting  liquidity  needs  and  to  supply  securities  to  be  used  in 
collateralizing certain deposits and other types of borrowings. The securities portfolio also serves as an outlet to deploy excess 
liquidity rather than hold such excess funds as cash. 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 at December 31:

During 2021, management determined that the Company held excess liquidity on the balance sheet, so we deployed a portion of 
our  excess  liquidity  into  the  securities  portfolio  and  purchased  $2,160,069  in  investment  securities,  with  mortgage  backed 
securities  and  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  (“CMOs”),  in  the  aggregate,  comprising  approximately  93%  of  such 
purchases. CMOs are included in the “Mortgage backed securities” line item in the above table. The mortgage backed securities 
and  CMOs  held  in  our  investment  portfolio  are  issued  by  government  sponsored  entities.  Obligations  of  state  and  political 
subdivisions made up the remainder of purchases in 2021. Other debt securities in our investment portfolio consist of corporate 
debt  securities  and  issuances  from  the  Small  Business  Administration  (“SBA”).  The  carrying  value  of  securities  sold  during 
2021  totaled  $174,285,  resulting  in  a  net  gain  of  $2,170,  while  proceeds  from  maturities  and  calls  of  securities  during  2021 
totaled $460,266, which were primarily reinvested in the securities portfolio. 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company transferred, at fair value, $366,886 of securities from the available for 
sale  portfolio  to  the  held  to  maturity  portfolio.  The  related  net  unrealized  after  tax  gains  of  $2,048  remained  in  accumulated 
other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  and  will  be  amortized  over  the  remaining  life  of  the  securities,  offsetting  the  related 
amortization of discount on the transferred securities. No gains or losses were recognized at the time of transfer. There were no 
held to maturity securities at December 31, 2020.

31

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
During 2020, we purchased $515,657 in investment securities, with mortgage backed securities and CMOs, in the aggregate, 
comprising approximately 73% of such purchases. Obligations of state and political subdivisions comprised approximately 23% 
of the purchases made in 2020. The carrying value of securities sold during 2020 totaled $44,860 resulting in a net gain of $46. 
Proceeds from maturities and calls of securities during 2020 totaled $437,981, which were primarily reinvested in the securities 
portfolio. 

The allowance for credit losses on held to maturity securities is evaluated on a quarterly basis in accordance with ASC 326. 
Expected credit losses on debt securities classified as held to maturity are measured on a collective basis by major security type. 
The  estimates  of  expected  credit  losses  are  based  on  historical  default  rates,  investment  grades,  current  conditions,  and 
reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. At December 31, 2021 the allowance for credit losses on held to maturity 
securities was $32.

At December 31, 2021, unrealized losses of $31,024 were recorded on available for sale investment securities with a carrying 
value of $1,925,018.  At December 31, 2020, unrealized losses of $3,215 were recorded on available for sale securities with a 
carrying value of $85,396. The Company does not intend to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position, and it is not 
more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell any such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, 
which  may  be  maturity.  Furthermore,  even  though  a  number  of  these  securities  have  been  in  a  continuous  unrealized  loss 
position for a period greater than twelve months, the Company is collecting principal and interest payments from the respective 
securities as scheduled. As such, the Company did not record any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The following table sets forth the scheduled maturity distribution and weighted average yield based on the amortized cost of the 
debt securities in our investment portfolio as of December 31, 2021.

calculated using coupon interest and adjusting for discount accretion and premium amortization, where applicable.

Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale were $453,533 at December 31, 2021 compared to $417,771 at December 31, 2020. Mortgage loans to be 
sold, which made up all of our loans held for sale at December 31, 2021, are sold either on a “best efforts” basis or under a 
“mandatory delivery” sales agreement. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, residential real estate originations are locked in 
at  a  contractual  rate  with  third  party  private  investors  or  directly  with  government  sponsored  entities,  and  the  Company  is 
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. Under a “mandatory delivery” sales agreement, 
the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price and delivery 
date. Penalties are paid to the investor if we fail to satisfy the contract. Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is 
received and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met.  These loans are typically sold within 30-40 days after the loan 
is  funded.  Although  loan  fees  and  some  interest  income  are  derived  from  mortgage  loans  held  for  sale,  the  main  source  of 
income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market.

Loans
Loans, excluding loans held for sale, are the Company’s most significant earning asset, comprising 59.61% and 73.23% of total 
assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the percentage of our total earning assets that loans make 
up from 2020 to 2021 is a result of a material increase in the size of the investment securities portfolio in 2021, while loans also 
slightly declined from 2020 to 2021.  This percentage will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the extent of our 
loan growth and whether the Company has excess liquidity on its balance sheet.

Noninterest-Bearing Deposits to Total Deposits  

2021
33.93%

2020
30.56%

The  Company  relies  on  deposits  as  its  major  source  of  funds.  Total  deposits  were  $13,905,724  and  $12,059,081  at 
December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  Noninterest-bearing  deposits  were  $4,718,124  and  $3,685,048  at  December  31, 
2021 and 2020, respectively, while interest-bearing deposits were $9,187,600 and $8,374,033 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 
respectively. 

The growth in noninterest-bearing deposits across the Company’s footprint in 2021 was primarily driven by client sentiment to 
maintain  liquidity.  Management  continues  to  focus  on  growing  and  maintaining  a  stable  source  of  funding,  specifically 
noninterest-bearing  deposits  and  other  core  deposits  (that  is,  deposits  excluding  time  deposits  greater  than  $250,000).  
Noninterest-bearing  deposits  increased  to  33.93%  of  total  deposits  at  December  31,  2021,  as  compared  to  30.56%  of  total 
deposits at December 31, 2020. Under certain circumstances, however, management may elect to acquire non-core deposits (in 
the  form  of  time  deposits)  or  public  fund  deposits  (which  are  deposits  of  counties,  municipalities  or  other  political 
subdivisions).  The source of funds that we select depends on the terms and how those terms assist us in mitigating interest rate 
risk,  maintaining  our  liquidity  position  and  managing  our  net  interest  margin.    Accordingly,  funds  are  acquired  to  meet 
anticipated  funding  needs  at  the  rate  and  with  other  terms  that,  in  management’s  view,  best  address  our  interest  rate  risk, 
liquidity and net interest margin parameters.

Public fund deposits may be readily obtained based on the Company’s pricing bid in comparison with competitors. Public fund  
deposits    may  fluctuate  as  competitive  and  market  forces  change  because  these  deposits  are  obtained  through  a  bid  process. 
Although  the  Company  has  focused  on  growing  stable  sources  of  deposits  to  reduce  reliance  on  public  fund  deposits,  it

participates  in  the  bidding  process  for  public  fund  deposits  when  pricing  and  other  terms  make  it  reasonable  given  market 
conditions  or  when  management  perceives  that  other  factors,  such  as  the  public  entity’s  use  of  our  treasury  management  or 
other products and services, make such participation advisable. Our public fund transaction accounts are principally obtained 
from public universities and municipalities, including school boards and utilities. Public fund deposits at December 31, 2021 
were $1,787,414 compared to $1,398,330 at December 31, 2020.

Deposits  that  are  in  excess  of  the  FDIC  insurance  limit  (or  similar  state  deposit  insurance  limits)  and  that  are  otherwise 
uninsured  were  $4,353,952  and  $3,348,376  at  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  The  following  table  shows  the 
maturity of time deposits at December 31, 2021 that are in excess of the FDIC insurance limit (or similar state deposit insurance 
limits) and that are otherwise uninsured:

Borrowed Funds

Total borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from the Federal 
Home  Loan  Bank  (“FHLB”),  subordinated  notes  and  junior  subordinated  debentures  and  are  classified  on  the  Consolidated 
Balance Sheets as either short-term borrowings or long-term debt. Short-term borrowings have original maturities less than one 
year  and  typically  include  federal  funds  purchased,  securities  sold  under  agreements  to  repurchase,  and  short-term  FHLB 
advances. The following table presents our short-term borrowings by type at December 31:

At  December  31,  2021,  long-term  debt  consists  of  long-term  FHLB  advances,  our  junior  subordinated  debentures  and  our 
subordinated notes.  The following table presents our long-term debt by type at December 31:

Long-term FHLB borrowings are used to match-fund against large, fixed rate commercial or real estate loans with long-term 
maturities,  which  helps  mitigate  interest  rate  exposure  when  rates  rise.  During  2021,  we  used  the  proceeds  of  our  deposit 
growth and other sources of liquidity to substantially reduce our long-term FHLB borrowings. At December 31, 2021, all of our 
long-term FHLB advances outstanding are scheduled to mature within twelve months or less.  The Company had $4,214,274 of 
availability on unused lines of credit with the FHLB at December 31, 2021 compared to $3,784,520 at December 31, 2020. The 
weighted-average interest rates on outstanding advances at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were 1.86% and 0.05%, respectively. 

On November 23, 2021, the Company completed the public offering and sale of $200,000 of its 3.00% fixed-to-floating rate 
subordinated notes due December 1, 2031. The subordinated notes were sold at par, resulting in net proceeds, after deducting 
underwriting discounts and offering expenses, of approximately $197,000. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from 
this offering for general corporate purposes, which may include providing capital to support the Company’s organic growth or 
growth through strategic acquisitions, repaying indebtedness, financing investments, capital expenditures or for investments in 
Renasant Bank as regulatory capital. 

37

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
During  October  and  December  2021,  respectively,  the  Company  redeemed  at  par  its  $15,000  6.50%  fixed-to-floating  rate 
subordinated  notes  and  redeemed  $30,000  of  its  aggregate  $60,000  5.00%  fixed-to-floating  rate  subordinated  notes,  with  the 
remaining $30,000 of such notes to be redeemed in the first quarter of 2022.

The Company owns other subordinated notes, the proceeds of which have been used for general corporate purposes similar to 
those described above. The subordinated notes qualify as Tier 2 capital under the current regulatory guidelines.

The  Company  owns  the  outstanding  common  securities  of  business  trusts  that  issued  corporation-obligated  mandatorily 
redeemable preferred capital securities to third-party investors. The trusts used the proceeds from the issuance of their preferred 
capital securities and common securities (collectively referred to as “capital securities”) to buy floating rate junior subordinated 
debentures issued by the Company (or by companies that the Company subsequently acquired). The debentures are the trusts’ 
only assets and interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the capital securities. 

For more information about the terms and conditions of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures and subordinated notes, 
see  Note  12,  “Long-Term  Debt,”  in  the  Notes  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  Item  8,  Financial  Statements  and 
Supplementary Data, in this report.

Results of Operations

Net Income

Net  income  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021  was  $175,892  compared  to  net  income  of  $83,651  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2020. Basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $3.13 as compared to $1.49 for the 
year ended December 31, 2020. Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $3.12 as compared to 
$1.48 for the year ended December 31, 2020. 

From  time  to  time,  the  Company  incurs  expenses  and  charges  in  connection  with  certain  transactions  with  respect  to  which 
management is unable to accurately predict when these expenses or charges will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount of 
such expenses or charges. The following table presents the impact of these expenses and charges on reported EPS for the dates 
presented.  The  “COVID-19  related  expenses”  line  item  in  the  table  below  primarily  consists  of  (a)  employee  overtime  and 
employee  benefit  accruals  directly  related  to  the  Company’s  response  to  both  the  COVID-19  pandemic  itself  and  federal 
legislation enacted to address the pandemic, such as the CARES Act, and (b) expenses associated with supplying branches with 
protective equipment, sanitation supplies (such as floor markings and cautionary signage for branches, face coverings and hand 
sanitizer) and more frequent and rigorous branch cleaning. The mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) valuation adjustment and 
swap  termination  gains  are  discussed  below  under  the  “Noninterest  Income”  heading,  and  the  debt  prepayment  penalty  and 
restructuring charges are discussed below under the “Noninterest Expense” heading in this Item.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, is the largest 
component of our net income, comprising 65.49% of total net revenue in 2021. Total net revenue consists of net interest income 
on  a  fully  taxable  equivalent  basis  and  noninterest  income.  The  primary  concerns  in  managing  net  interest  income  are  the 
volume,  mix and repricing of assets and liabilities.

Net  interest  income  decreased  0.66%  to  $424,001  for  2021  compared  to  $426,797  in  2020.  On  a  tax  equivalent  basis,  net 
interest income decreased $2,962 to $430,720 in 2021 as compared to $433,682 in 2020. Net interest margin was 3.07% for 
2021 as compared to 3.44% for 2020.

The following table sets forth the daily average balance sheet data, including all major categories of interest-earning assets and 
interest-bearing liabilities, together with the interest earned or interest paid and the average yield or average rate on each such 
category for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

U.S. Government and some U.S. Government Agency securities are tax-exempt in the states in which we operate.
Interest-bearing demand deposits include interest-bearing transactional accounts and money market deposits.

The  daily  average  balances  of  nonaccruing  assets  are  included  in  the  foregoing  table.  Interest  income  and  weighted  average 
yields on tax-exempt loans and securities have been computed on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 21% 
and a state tax rate of 4.45%, which is net of federal tax benefit.

Net  interest  income  and  net  interest  margin  are  influenced  by  internal  and  external  factors.    Internal  factors  include  balance 
sheet  changes  in  volume  and  mix  as  well  as  loan  and  deposit  pricing  decisions.    External  factors  include  changes  in  market 
interest rates, competition and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. As discussed in more detail below, the decline in loan 
yields due to the current low interest rate environment as well as changes in the mix of earning assets during the year due to 
increased  liquidity  on  the  balance  sheet  were  the  largest  contributing  factors  to  the  decrease  in  net  interest  margin.  The 
Company  has  continued  to  focus  on  lowering  the  cost  of  funding  through  growing  noninterest-bearing  deposits  and 

39

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
aggressively lowering interest rates on interest-bearing deposits. The Company has also increased its purchases of investment 
securities and continues to evaluate options to mitigate the pressure on net interest margin.

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in interest earned, on a tax equivalent basis, and interest paid resulting 
from  changes  in  volume  and  rates  for  the  Company  for  the  years  indicated.    Information  is  provided  in  each  category  with 
respect to changes attributable to (1) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior yield/rate); (2) changes in yield/
rate  (changes  in  yield/rate  multiplied  by  prior  volume);  and  (3)  changes  in  both  yield/rate  and  volume  (changes  in  yield/rate 
multiplied  by  changes  in  volume).  The  changes  attributable  to  the  combined  impact  of  yield/rate  and  volume  have  been 
allocated on a pro-rata basis using the absolute ratio value of amounts calculated.

In 2021, interest income on loans held for investment, on a tax equivalent basis, decreased $31,390 to $427,296 from $458,686 
in 2020. Interest income on loans held for investment decreased primarily due to the Federal Reserve maintaining low interest 
rates since March 2020. Interest income attributable to PPP loans included in loan interest income for 2021 was $24,794, which 
consisted of $4,380 in interest income and $20,414 in accretion of net origination fees, as compared to $23,605 for 2020, which 
consisted of $8,729 in interest income and $14,876 in accretion of net origination fees. The PPP origination fees, net of agent 
fees  paid  and  other  origination  costs,  are  being  accreted  into  interest  income  over  the  life  of  the  loan.  When  a  PPP  loan  is 
forgiven in whole or in part, as provided under the CARES Act, the Company recognizes the non-accreted portion of the net 
origination fee attributable to the forgiven portion of such loan as of the date of the final forgiveness determination. PPP loans 
increased margin and loan yield eight and six basis points, respectively, during 2021, and reduced margin and loan yield five 
and 13 basis points, respectively, during 2020.

The decrease in yield on securities during 2021 was offset by security purchases during the year as the Company deployed a 
portion of its excess liquidity into the securities portfolio. The growth in the securities portfolio during 2021 led to the growth in 
investment income, on a tax equivalent basis.

Interest  expense  was  $44,684  in  2021  compared  to  $71,335  in  2020.  The  following  table  presents,  by  type,  the  Company’s

Interest expense on deposits was $28,976 and $54,016 for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cost of total deposits was 0.22% 
and 0.47% for the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 0.33% and 
0.68% for the same respective periods. The decrease in both deposit expense and cost is attributable to the Company’s efforts to 
reduce deposit rates as they reprice in the current low interest rate environment. During 2021, the Company continued its efforts 
to grow noninterest-bearing deposits, with the growth in noninterest-bearing deposits during the year primarily driven by client 
sentiment to maintain liquidity. Low cost deposits continue to be the preferred choice of funding; however, the Company may 
rely on wholesale borrowings when rates are advantageous.

Interest expense on total borrowings was $15,708 and $17,319 for the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, 
while the cost of total borrowings was 3.34% and 2.26% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 
decrease  in  interest  expense  is  a  result  of  lower  average  borrowings.  As  previously  mentioned,  the  Company  also  issued 
$200,000 of its fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes during the year and redeemed certain tranches of subordinated notes.

A  more  detailed  discussion  of  the  cost  of  our  funding  sources  is  set  forth  below  under  the  heading  “Liquidity  and  Capital 
Resources” in this item. For more information about our outstanding subordinated notes and junior subordinated debentures, see 
Note  12,  “Long-Term  Debt,”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  Item  8,  Financial  Statements  and

Total  noninterest  income  includes  fees  generated  from  deposit  services  and  other  fees  and  commissions,  income  from  our 
insurance,  wealth  management  and  mortgage  banking  operations,  realized  gains  on  the  sale  of  securities  and  all  other 
noninterest income. Our focus is to develop and enhance our products that generate noninterest income in order to diversify our 
revenue  sources.  Noninterest  income  as  a  percentage  of  total  net  revenue  was  34.51%  and  35.20%  for  2021  and  2020, 
respectively.  Noninterest  income  was  $226,984  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  a  decrease  of  $8,548,  or  3.63%,  as 
compared  to  $235,532  for  2020.  The  decrease  during  the  year  was  driven  by  lower  mortgage  banking  production  offset  by 
increases in service charges and fees and commissions, as well as income from other lines of business as more fully-explained 
below.

Service charges on deposit accounts include maintenance fees on accounts, per item charges, account enhancement charges for 
additional packaged benefits and overdraft fees. Service charges on deposit accounts were $36,569 and $31,326 for the twelve 
months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Overdraft fees, the largest component of service charges on deposits, 
increased to $19,140 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $18,597 for the same period in 2020. 

Fees  and  commissions  increased  to  $15,732  in  2021  as  compared  to  $13,043  in  2020.  Fees  and  commissions  include  fees 
related to deposit services, such as ATM fees and interchange fees on debit card transactions.  Interchange fees on debit card 
transactions, the largest component of fees and commissions, were $10,405 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 
compared to $8,979 for the same period in 2020.

Through Renasant Insurance, we offer a range of commercial and personal insurance products through major insurance carriers. 
Income earned on insurance products was $9,841 and $8,990 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 
Contingency income is a bonus received from the insurance underwriters and is based both on commission income and claims 
experience on our clients’ policies during the previous year. Increases and decreases in contingency income are reflective of 
corresponding  increases  and  decreases  in  the  amount  of  claims  paid  by  insurance  carriers.  Contingency  income,  which  is 
included in the “Other noninterest income” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $1,063 and $934 for 2021 
and 2020, respectively.

Our Wealth Management segment has two primary divisions: Trust and Financial Services. The Trust division operates on a 
custodial basis which includes administration of benefit plans, as well as accounting and money management for trust accounts. 
The  division  manages  a  number  of  trust  accounts  inclusive  of  personal  and  corporate  benefit  accounts,  IRAs,  and  custodial 
accounts.  Fees  for  managing  these  accounts  are  based  on  changes  in  market  values  of  the  assets  under  management  in  the 
account,  with  the  amount  of  the  fee  depending  on  the  type  of  account.  The  Financial  Services  division  provides  specialized 
products and services to our customers, which include fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds, and stocks offered through a 
third party provider. Wealth Management revenue was $20,455 for 2021 compared to $16,504 for 2020. The market value of 
assets under management or administration was $5,177,984 and $4,196,072 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 

Mortgage banking income is derived from the origination and sale of mortgage loans and the servicing of mortgage loans that 
the Company has sold but retained the right to service. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage 
loans held for sale, the main source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market. Originations of 
mortgage loans to be sold totaled $4,059,927 in 2021 and $4,479,421 in 2020. The decrease in mortgage loan originations in 
2021  was  due  to  the  changes  in  the  mortgage  interest  rate  environment  from  the  historically  low  rates  in  2020.  Mortgage 
banking income was impacted in 2021 by a positive mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment of $13,561 and in 2020 by 
a negative mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustment of $11,726.

During 2021, the Company terminated four interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts of $25,000 each. These swaps 
hedged  forecasted  future  FHLB  borrowings  which  were  no  longer  expected  to  occur.  As  a  result  of  these  terminations,  the 
Company recognized a gain of $4,676 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Noninterest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 includes the Company’s net gains on sale of securities of 
$2,170, as the Company sold securities with a carrying value $174,285 at the time of sale for net proceeds of $176,455.  Gains 
on  sales  of  securities  for  the  twelve  months  ended  2020  were  $46,  resulting  from  the  sale  of  approximately  $44,860  in 
securities.  For  more  information  on  securities  sold  in  2021  and  2020,  see  Note  2,  “Securities,”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this report. 

Bank-owned  life  insurance  (“BOLI”)  income  is  derived  from  changes  in  the  cash  surrender  value  of  the  bank-owned  life 
insurance policies and can fluctuate upon the collection of life insurance proceeds. BOLI income increased to $7,366 in 2021 as 
compared to $5,627 in 2020. Additionally, the Company purchased $50,000 in BOLI policies during 2021.

In  addition  to  the  contingency  income  described  above,  other  noninterest  income  includes  income  from  our  SBA  banking 
division  and  other  miscellaneous  income  and  can  fluctuate  based  on  the  claims  experience  in  our  Insurance  agency,  SBA 
production and recognition of other nonseasonal income items. Other noninterest income was $20,571 for 2021 compared to 
$9,497 for 2020.

Noninterest  expense  was  $429,826  and  $471,988  for  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  As  mentioned  previously,  the  Company 
incurred  expenses  in  connection  with  certain  transactions  with  respect  to  which  management  is  unable  to  accurately  predict 
when  these  expenses  will  be  incurred  or,  when  incurred,  the  amount  of  such  expenses.  The  following  table  presents  these

The Company incurred a $6,123 debt prepayment penalty in 2021 in connection with the prepayment of a $150,000 long-term 
FHLB advance. 

Salaries and employee benefits is the largest component of noninterest expense and represented 65.29% and 64.07% of total 
noninterest  expense  at  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  During  2021,  salaries  and  employee  benefits  decreased 
$21,761, or 7.20%, to $280,627 as compared to $302,388 for 2020. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits is primarily 
due to the cost savings realized by the voluntary early retirement program offered during the fourth quarter of 2020 and other 
expense initiatives. Salaries and employee benefits for 2020 also includes approximately $8,237 in expense related to employee 

43

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
overtime and employee benefit accruals directly related to the Company’s response to both the COVID-19 pandemic itself and 
federal legislation enacted to address the pandemic, such as the CARES Act.

Compensation expense recorded in connection with awards of restricted stock, which is included within salaries and employee 
benefits, was $9,415 and $9,910 for 2021 and 2020, respectively. A portion of the restricted stock awards in both years was 
subject to the satisfaction of performance-based conditions. 

Data processing costs increased $1,041 to $21,726 in 2021 from $20,685 in 2020, driven by continued enhancement to digital 
offerings  and  increases  in  transaction  volume.  The  Company  continues  to  examine  new  and  existing  contracts  to  negotiate 
favorable  terms  to  offset  the  increased  variable  cost  components  of  our  data  processing  costs,  such  as  new  accounts  and 
increased transaction volume.

Net occupancy and equipment expense in 2021 was $46,837, a decrease of $7,243 from $54,080 for 2020. The decrease in net 
occupancy and equipment expense is primarily attributable to the restructuring and non-renewal of certain branch leases. 

Expenses  related  to  other  real  estate  owned  for  2021  were  $253,  compared  to  $2,754  in  2020.  Expenses  on  other  real  estate 
owned for 2021 include write downs of $306 of the carrying value to fair value on certain pieces of property held in other real 
estate owned compared to write downs of $2,160 in 2020.   Other real estate owned with a cost basis of $6,166 was sold during 
2021, resulting in a net gain of $176, compared to other real estate owned with a cost basis of $8,415 sold during 2020 for a net 
gain of $23. 

Professional fees include fees for legal and accounting services, such as routine litigation matters, external audit services as well 
as  assistance  in  complying  with  newly-enacted  and  existing  banking  and  governmental  regulation.  Professional  fees  were 
$11,776 for 2021 as compared to $11,293 for 2020. 

Advertising  and  public  relations  expense  was  $12,203  for  2021,  an  increase  of  $1,881  compared  to  $10,322  for  2020.  The 
increase  is  primarily  attributable  to  an  increase  in  sponsorship  spending,  as  COVID-19  restrictions  on  public  events  were 
relaxed. 

Amortization of intangible assets totaled $6,042 for 2021 compared to $7,121 for 2020. This amortization relates to finite-lived 
intangible  assets  which  are  being  amortized  over  the  useful  lives  as  determined  at  acquisition.  These  finite-lived  intangible 
assets have remaining estimated useful lives ranging from approximately two years to eight years. 

Communication expenses are those expenses incurred for communication to clients and between employees. Communication 
expenses were $8,869 for 2021 as compared to $8,866 for 2020. 

Other noninterest expense includes the provision for unfunded commitments, business development and travel expenses, other 
discretionary expenses, loan fees expense and other miscellaneous fees and operating expenses. Other noninterest expense was 
$35,002 for 2021 as compared to $44,953 for 2020. A negative provision (recovery) for unfunded commitments of $500 was 
recorded for 2021 and a positive provision for unfunded commitments of $9,200 was recorded in 2020.

(1) Adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure.  A reconciliation of this financial measure from GAAP to non-GAAP as well as an 
explanation of why the Company provides non-GAAP financial measures can be found under the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” heading at the 
end of this Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in this report.

The efficiency ratio is a measure of productivity in the banking industry. (This ratio is a measure of our ability to turn expenses 
into revenue. That is, the ratio is designed to reflect the percentage of one dollar which must be expended to generate a dollar of 
revenue.) The Company calculates this ratio by dividing noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income on a fully tax 
equivalent  basis  and  noninterest  income.  The  table  above  shows  the  impact  on  the  efficiency  ratio  of  expenses  that  (1)  the 
Company does not consider to be part of its core operating activities, such as amortization of intangibles, or (2) the Company 
incurred  in  connection  with  certain  transactions  where  management  is  unable  to  accurately  predict  the  timing  of  when  these 
expenses will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount of such expenses, such as expenses incurred in connection with our 
response  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  our  MSR  valuation  adjustment,  restructuring  and  swap  termination  charges  and  the 
provision for unfunded commitments. We remain committed to aggressively managing our costs within the framework of our 

44

business  model.  Our  goal  is  to  improve  the  efficiency  ratio  over  time  from  currently  reported  levels  as  a  result  of  revenue 
growth while at the same time controlling noninterest expenses.

Income Taxes

Income  tax  expense  for  2021  and  2020  was  $46,935  and  $19,840,  respectively.  The  effective  tax  rates  for  those  years  were 
22.41% and 19.40%, respectively. For additional information regarding the Company’s income taxes, please refer to in Note 
15,  “Income  Taxes,”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  Item  8,  Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary 
Data, in this report.

Risk Management

The management of risk is an on-going process. Primary risks that are associated with the Company include credit, interest rate 
and liquidity risk. Credit and interest rate risk are discussed below, while liquidity risk is discussed in the next subsection under 
the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Credit Risk and Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments

COVID-19 Update. At December 31, 2021, the Company’s credit quality metrics remained sound. The Company is continuing 
to  monitor  all  asset  categories  given  that  any  category  or  borrower  could  be  negatively  impacted  by  the  pandemic,  with 
enhanced monitoring of loans remaining on deferral under the Company’s loan deferral programs implemented in 2020, as well 
as  a  focus  on  those  industries  more  highly  impacted  by  the  pandemic,  primarily  the  hospitality  and  senior  living  industries. 
Under the now-expired loan deferral programs, any customer current on loan payments, taxes and insurance qualified for an 
initial 90-day deferral of principal and interest payments.  A second 90-day deferral was available to borrowers that remained 
current  on  taxes  and  insurance  through  the  first  deferral  period  and  also  satisfied  underwriting  standards  established  by  the 
Company that analyzed the ability of the borrower to service its loan in accordance with its existing terms in light of the impact 
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the borrower, its industry and the markets in which it operated. The Company’s loan deferral 
program  complies  with  the  guidance  set  forth  in  the  CARES  Act  and  related  guidance  from  the  FDIC  and  other  banking 
regulators. At December 31, 2021,  the Company has discontinued its deferral program but had nine loans (not in thousands) on 
deferral with an aggregate balance of approximately $519, or 0.01% of our loan portfolio (excluding PPP loans) by dollar value.  
In accordance with the applicable guidance, none of these loans were considered “restructured loans” and thus are not included 
in the discussion of our restructured loans below.

Management of Credit Risk. Inherent in any lending activity is credit risk, that is, the risk of loss should a borrower default. 
Credit  risk  is  monitored  and  managed  on  an  ongoing  basis  by  a  credit  administration  department,  a  problem  asset  resolution 
committee  and  the  Board  of  Directors  Credit  Review  Committee.  Oversight  of  the  Company’s  lending  operations  (including 
adherence  to  our  policies  and  procedures  governing  the  loan  underwriting  and  monitoring  process),  credit  quality  and  loss 
mitigation  are  major  concerns  of  credit  administration  and  these  committees.  The  Company’s  central  appraisal  review 
department  reviews  and  approves  third-party  appraisals  obtained  by  the  Company  on  real  estate  collateral  and  monitors  loan 
maturities  to  ensure  updated  appraisals  are  obtained.  This  department  is  managed  by  a  State  Certified  General  Real  Estate 
Appraiser  and  employs  three  additional  State  Certified  General  Real  Estate  Appraisers  and  four  real  estate  evaluators.  In 
addition, we maintain a loan review staff to independently monitor loan quality and lending practices. Loan review personnel 
monitor  and,  if  necessary,  adjust  the  grades  assigned  to  loans  through  periodic  examination,  focusing  their  review  on 
commercial  and  real  estate  loans  rather  than  consumer  and  small  balance  consumer  mortgage  loans,  such  as  1-4  family 
mortgage loans.

In compliance with loan policy, the lending staff is given lending limits based on their knowledge and experience. In addition, 
each lending officer’s prior performance is evaluated for credit quality and compliance as a tool for establishing and enhancing 
lending  limits.  Before  funds  are  advanced  on  consumer  and  commercial  loans  below  certain  dollar  thresholds,  loans  are 
reviewed  and  scored  using  centralized  underwriting  methodologies.  Loan  quality,  or  “risk-rating,”  grades  are  assigned  based 
upon certain factors, which include the scoring of the loans. This information is used to assist management in monitoring credit 
quality. Loan requests are reviewed for approval by senior credit officers.

For  commercial  and  commercial  real  estate  secured  loans,  internal  risk-rating  grades  are  assigned  by  lending,  credit 
administration and loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes 
underlying each loan. Loan grades range from 1 to 9, with 1 rated loans having the least credit risk. For more information about 
the Company’s loan grades, see the information under the heading “Credit Quality” in Note 3, “Non Purchased Loans,” in the 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this report.

Management’s problem asset resolution committee and the Board of Directors’ Credit Review Committee monitor loans that 
are  past  due  or  those  that  have  been  downgraded  and  placed  on  the  Company’s  internal  watch  list  due  to  a  decline  in  the 
collateral  value  or  cash  flow  of  the  debtor;  the  committees  then  adjust  loan  grades  accordingly.  This  information  is  used  to 
assist  management  in  monitoring  credit  quality.  When  the  ultimate  collectability  of  a  loan’s  principal  is  in  doubt,  wholly  or 
partially, the loan is placed on nonaccrual.

After all collection efforts have failed, collateral securing loans may be repossessed and sold or, for loans secured by real estate, 
foreclosure  proceedings  initiated.  The  collateral  is  sold  at  public  auction  for  fair  market  value  (based  upon  recent  appraisals 
described in the above paragraph), with fees associated with the foreclosure being deducted from the sales price. The purchase 
price is applied to the outstanding loan balance. If the loan balance is greater than the sales proceeds, the deficient balance is 
sent to the Board of Directors’ Credit Review Committee for charge-off approval. These charge-offs reduce the allowance for 
credit losses on loans. Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through the 
provision for credit losses on loans.

The  Company’s  practice  is  to  charge  off  estimated  losses  as  soon  as  such  loss  is  identified  and  reasonably  quantified.  Net 
charge-offs for 2021 were $10,273, or 0.10% as a percentage of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $3,852, or 0.04% 
as a percentage of average loans, for 2020. The charge-offs in 2021 were fully reserved for in the Company’s allowance for 
credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans; Provision for Credit Losses on Loans. The allowance for credit losses is available to 
absorb credit losses inherent in the loans held for investment portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for credit 
losses  when  management  believes  the  uncollectability  of  a  loan  balance  is  confirmed.  Subsequent  recoveries,  if  any,  are 
credited  to  the  allowance.  Management  evaluates  the  adequacy  of  the  allowance  on  a  quarterly  basis.  Please  refer  to  the 
information  under  the  headings  “Loans  and  the  Allowance  for  Credit  Losses”  and  “Business  Combinations,  Accounting  for 
Purchased  Credit  Deteriorated  Loans  and  Related  Assets”  in  Note  1,  “Significant  Accounting  Policies,”  in  the  Notes  to 
Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in  Item  8,  Financial  Statements  and  Supplementary  Data,  in  this  report  for  an  in-depth 
discussion  of  our  accounting  policies  and  our  methodology  for  determining  the  appropriate  level  of  the  allowance  for  credit 
losses.

In  addition  to  its  quarterly  analysis  of  the  allowance  for  credit  losses,  on  a  regular  basis,  management  and  the  Board  of 
Directors review loan ratios. These ratios include the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans, net charge-offs 
as  a  percentage  of  average  loans,  the  provision  for  credit  losses  as  a  percentage  of  average  loans,  nonperforming  loans  as  a 
percentage  of  total  loans  and  the  allowance  coverage  on  nonperforming  loans.  Also,  management  reviews  past  due  ratios  by 
officer, community bank and the Company as a whole.

The  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  loans  was  $164,171  and  $176,144  at  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  The 
following table presents the allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans and the percentage of each loan category to 
total loans at December 31 for each of the years presented.

The  provision  for  credit  losses  on  loans  charged  to  operating  expense  is  an  amount  that,  in  the  judgment  of  management,  is 
necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses on loans at a level that is believed to be adequate to meet the inherent risks 
of losses in our loan portfolio. The Company recorded a negative provision (recovery) of $1,700 in total provision for credit 
losses  on  loans  during  2021,  as  compared  to  a  provision  for  credit  losses  on  loans  of  $85,350  during  2020.  The  Company’s 
allowance  for  credit  loss  model  considers  economic  projections,  primarily  the  national  unemployment  rate  and  GDP,  over  a 
reasonable  and  supportable  period  of  two  years.  Based  on  the  continual  improvements  in  these  forecasts  over  the  last  year,

Allowance  for  Credit  Losses  on  Unfunded  Commitments;  Provision  for  Credit  Losses  on  Unfunded  Commitments.  The 
Company  maintains  a  separate  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  unfunded  loan  commitments,  which  is  included  in  the  “Other 
liabilities” line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Management estimates the amount of expected losses on unfunded 
loan commitments by calculating a likelihood of funding over the contractual period for exposures that are not unconditionally 
cancellable by the Company and applying the loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss on loans methodology described 
above to unfunded commitments for each loan type. No credit loss estimate is reported for off-balance-sheet credit exposures

Nonperforming  Assets.  Nonperforming  assets  consist  of  nonperforming  loans  and  other  real  estate  owned.  Nonperforming 
loans are loans on which the accrual of interest has stopped and loans that are contractually 90 days past due on which interest 
continues to accrue. Generally, the accrual of interest 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 problem asset resolution committee and our loan review staff closely monitor 
loans that are considered to be nonperforming.

Other real estate owned consists of properties acquired through foreclosure 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 at the time of foreclosure of properties are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Reductions in the carrying 
value  subsequent  to  acquisition  are  charged  to  earnings  and  are  included  in  “Other  real  estate  owned”  in  the  Consolidated 
Statements of Income.

Management  has  evaluated  the  aforementioned  loans  and  other  loans  classified  as  nonperforming  and  believes  that  all 
nonperforming  loans  have  been  adequately  reserved  for  in  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  loans  at  December  31,  2021. 
Management also continually monitors past due loans for potential credit quality deterioration. Total loans 30-89 days past due 
on which interest was still accruing were $27,604 at December 31, 2021 as compared to $26,286 at December 31, 2020. 

Although  not  classified  as  nonperforming  loans,  another  category  of  assets  that  contribute  to  our  credit  risk  is  restructured 
loans.  Restructured  loans  are  those  for  which  concessions  have  been  granted  to  the  borrower  due  to  a  deterioration  of  the 
borrower’s financial condition and are performing in accordance with the new terms. Such concessions may include reduction 
in interest rates or deferral of interest or principal payments. In evaluating whether to restructure a loan, management analyzes 
the long-term financial condition of the borrower, including guarantor and collateral support, to determine whether the proposed 
concessions will increase the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest. Restructured loans that are not performing in 
accordance  with  their  restructured  terms  that  are  either  contractually  90  days  past  due  or  placed  on  nonaccrual  status  are 
reported as nonperforming loans.

As  shown  below,  restructured  loans  totaled  $20,259  at  December  31,  2021  compared  to  $20,448  at  December  31,  2020.    At 
December  31,  2021,  loans  restructured  through  interest  rate  concessions  represented  32%  of  total  restructured  loans,  while

Interest Rate Risk

Market  risk  is  the  risk  of  loss  from  adverse  changes  in  market  prices  and  rates.  The  majority  of  assets  and  liabilities  of  a 
financial  institution  are  monetary  in  nature  and  therefore  differ  greatly  from  most  commercial  and  industrial  companies  that 
have significant investments in fixed assets and inventories. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in 
lending and deposit-taking activities. Management believes a significant impact on the Company’s financial results stems from 
our  ability  to  react  to  changes  in  interest  rates.  A  sudden  and  substantial  change  in  interest  rates  may  adversely  impact  our 
earnings because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the 
same basis.

Because of the impact of interest rate fluctuations on our profitability, the Board of Directors and management actively monitor 
and  manage  our  interest  rate  risk  exposure.  We  have  an  Asset/Liability  Committee  (the  “ALCO”)  that  is  authorized  by  the 
Board of Directors to monitor our interest rate sensitivity and to make decisions relating to that process. The ALCO’s goal is to 
structure our asset/liability composition to maximize net interest income while managing interest rate risk so as to minimize the 
adverse impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income and capital. The ALCO uses an asset/liability model as the 
primary  quantitative  tool  in  measuring  the  amount  of  interest  rate  risk  associated  with  changing  market  rates.    The  model  is 
used to perform both net interest income forecast simulations for multiple year horizons and economic value of equity (“EVE”) 
analyses, each under various interest rate scenarios, which could impact the results presented in the table below.

Net interest income simulations measure the short and medium-term earnings exposure from changes in market interest rates in 
a  rigorous  and  explicit  fashion.  Our  current  financial  position  is  combined  with  assumptions  regarding  future  business  to 
calculate net interest income under various hypothetical rate scenarios. EVE measures our long-term earnings exposure from 
changes in market rates of interest. EVE is defined as the present value of assets minus the present value of liabilities at a point 
in time for a given set of market rate assumptions.  An increase in EVE due to a specified rate change indicates an improvement 
in  the  long-term  earnings  capacity  of  the  balance  sheet  assuming  that  the  rate  change  remains  in  effect  over  the  life  of  the 
current balance sheet.

The following table presents the projected impact of a change in interest rates on (1) static EVE and (2) earnings at risk (that is, 
net interest income) for the 1-12 and 13-24 month periods commencing January 1, 2022, in each case as compared to the result 

52

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
under rates present in the market on December 31, 2021.  The changes in interest rates assume an instantaneous and parallel 
shift in the yield curve and do not take into account changes in the slope of the yield curve.

The  rate  shock  results  for  the  EVE  and  net  interest  income  simulations  for  the  next  24  months  produce  an  asset  sensitive 
position at December 31, 2021 and are all within the parameters set by the Board of Directors. 

The  preceding  measures  assume  no  change  in  the  size  or  asset/liability  compositions  of  the  balance  sheet,  and  they  do  not 
reflect future actions the ALCO may undertake in response to such changes in interest rates. 

The  scenarios  assume  instantaneous  movements  in  interest  rates  in  increments  of  plus  100  and  200  basis  points.  As  interest 
rates are adjusted over a period of time, it is our strategy to proactively change the volume and mix of our balance sheet in order 
to  mitigate  our  interest  rate  risk.  The  computation  of  the  prospective  effects  of  hypothetical  interest  rate  changes  requires 
numerous  assumptions  including  asset  prepayment  speeds,  the  impact  of  competitive  factors  on  our  pricing  of  loans  and 
deposits, how responsive our deposit repricing is to the change in market rates and the expected life of non-maturity deposits. 
These  business  assumptions  are  based  upon  our  experience,  business  plans  and  published  industry  experience.  Such 
assumptions may not necessarily reflect the manner or timing in which cash flows, asset yields and liability costs respond to 
changes in market rates. Because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results will differ from simulated results.

The  Company  utilizes  derivative  financial  instruments,  including  interest  rate  contracts  such  as  swaps,  caps  and/or  floors, 
forward  commitments,  and  interest  rate  lock  commitments,  as  part  of  its  ongoing  efforts  to  mitigate  its  interest  rate  risk 
exposure.  For  more  information  about  the  Company’s  derivative  financial  instruments,  see  the  “Off-Balance  Sheet 
Transactions”  section  below  and  Note  14,  “Derivative  Instruments,”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in 
Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity management is the ability to meet the cash flow requirements of customers who may be either depositors wishing to 
withdraw funds or borrowers needing assurance that sufficient funds will be available to meet their credit needs.

Core  deposits,  which  are  deposits  excluding  time  deposits  greater  than  $250,000,  are  the  major  source  of  funds  used  by  the 
Bank to meet cash flow needs. Maintaining the ability to acquire these funds as needed in a variety of markets is the key to 
assuring the Bank’s liquidity. Management continually monitors the Bank’s liquidity and non-core dependency ratios to ensure 
compliance with targets established by the Asset/Liability Management Committee.

Our  investment  portfolio  is  another  alternative  for  meeting  liquidity  needs.  These  assets  generally  have  readily  available 
markets  that  offer  conversions  to  cash  as  needed.  Within  the  next  twelve  months  the  securities  portfolio  is  forecasted  to 
generate  cash  flow  through  principal  payments  and  maturities  equal  to  19.75%  of  the  carrying  value  of  the  total  securities 
portfolio. Securities within our investment portfolio are also used to secure certain deposit types and short-term borrowings. At 
December 31, 2021, securities with a carrying value of $629,174 were pledged to secure government, public, trust, and other 
deposits and as collateral for short-term borrowings and derivative instruments as compared to $614,610 at December 31, 2020.

Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include federal funds purchased, security repurchase agreements and short-
term  and  long-term  advances  from  the  FHLB.  Interest  is  charged  at  the  prevailing  market  rate  on  these  borrowings.  Federal 
funds  are  short  term  borrowings,  generally  overnight  borrowings,  between  financial  institutions,  while  security  repurchase 
agreements represent funds received from customers, generally on an overnight or continuous basis, which are collateralized by 
investment  securities  owned  or,  at  times,  borrowed  and  re-hypothecated  by  the  Company.  There  were  no  federal  funds 
purchased  outstanding  at  December  31,  2021,  and  $10,393  were  outstanding  at  December  31,  2020.  Security  repurchase 
agreements were $13,947 at December 31, 2021, as compared to $10,947 at December 31, 2020. The Company had no short-
term borrowings from the FHLB (i.e., advances with original maturities less than one year) at December 31, 2021, and 2020. 
Long-term FHLB borrowings are used to match-fund fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk and also are used to 
meet day-to-day liquidity needs, particularly when the cost of such borrowings compares favorably to the rates that we would 
be required to pay to attract deposits. At December 31, 2021, the balance of our outstanding long-term advances with the FHLB 

53

 
was $417 as compared to $152,167 at December 31, 2020. The total amount of the remaining credit available to us from the 
FHLB at December 31, 2021 was $4,214,274.  We also maintain lines of credit with other commercial banks totaling $180,000. 
These  are  unsecured,  uncommitted  lines  of  credit  maturing  at  various  times  within  the  next  twelve  months.  There  were  no 
amounts outstanding under these lines of credit at December 31, 2021 or 2020.

Finally, we can access the capital markets to meet liquidity needs. The Company maintains a shelf registration statement with 
the SEC, which allows the Company to raise capital from time to time through the sale of common stock, preferred stock, debt 
securities,  warrants  and  units,  or  a  combination  thereof,  subject  to  market  conditions.  Specific  terms  and  prices  will  be 
determined at the time of any offering under a separate prospectus supplement that the Company will be required to file with 
the SEC at the time of the specific offering. The proceeds of the sale of securities, if and when offered, will be used as described 
in  any  prospectus  supplement  and  could  include  general  corporate  purposes,  the  expansion  of  the  Company’s  banking, 
insurance and wealth management operations as well as other business opportunities. In 2021, we accessed the capital markets 
to generate liquidity in the form of subordinated notes and in prior years we have issued other subordinated notes and assumed 
subordinated notes as part of acquisitions. For more information about our subordinated notes, see Note 12, “Long-Term Debt” 
in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this report.

Our strategy in choosing funds is focused on minimizing cost in the context of our balance sheet composition and interest rate 
risk position. Accordingly, management targets growth of non-interest bearing deposits. While we do not control the types of 
deposit  instruments  our  clients  choose,  we  do  influence  those  choices  with  the  rates  and  the  deposit  specials  we  offer.  We 
constantly monitor our funds position and evaluate the effect that various funding sources have on our financial position. The 
following table presents, by type, the Company’s funding sources, which consist of total average deposits and borrowed funds, 
and the total cost of each funding source for each of the years presented:

sale,  maturity  or  call  of  securities  within  our  investment  portfolio  were  $636,721  for  2021  compared  to  $482,887  for  2020. 
These  proceeds  from  the  investment  portfolio  were  primarily  reinvested  back  into  the  securities  portfolio.  Purchases  of 
investment securities were $2,160,069 for 2021 compared to $515,657 for 2020. 

Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $1,762,106 compared to $1,401,579 for the 
year ended December 31, 2020. Overall deposits increased $1,846,643 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to an 
increase of $1,846,059 for the same period in 2020. 

Restrictions on Bank Dividends, Loans and Advances

The  Company’s  liquidity  and  capital  resources,  as  well  as  its  ability  to  pay  dividends  to  our  shareholders,  are  substantially 
dependent  on  the  ability  of  the  Bank  to  transfer  funds  to  the  Company  in  the  form  of  dividends,  loans  and  advances.  Under 
Mississippi law, a Mississippi bank may not pay dividends unless its earned surplus is in excess of three times capital stock. A 
Mississippi bank with earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock may pay a dividend, subject to the approval of the 
DBCF. In addition, the FDIC has the authority to prohibit the Bank from engaging in business practices that the FDIC considers 
to  be  unsafe  or  unsound,  which,  depending  on  the  financial  condition  of  the  Bank,  could  include  the  payment  of  dividends. 
Accordingly,  the  approval  of  the  DBCF  is  required  prior  to  the  Bank  paying  dividends  to  the  Company,  and  under  certain 
circumstances the approval of the FDIC may be required.

54

 
 
In  addition  to  the  FDIC  and  DBCF  restrictions  on  dividends  payable  by  the  Bank  to  the  Company,  the  Federal  Reserve 
provided  guidance  on  the  criteria  that  it  will  use  to  evaluate  the  request  by  a  bank  holding  company  to  pay  dividends  in  an 
aggregate amount that will exceed the company’s earnings for the period in which the dividends will be paid, which did not 
apply to the Company in 2021 or 2020.  For purposes of this analysis, “dividend” includes not only dividends on preferred and 
common  equity  but  also  dividends  on  debt  underlying  trust  preferred  securities  and  other  Tier  1  capital  instruments.    The 
Federal Reserve’s criteria evaluates whether the holding company (1) has net income over the past four quarters sufficient to 
fully  fund  the  proposed  dividend  (taking  into  account  prior  dividends  paid  during  this  period),  (2)  is  considering  stock 
repurchases  or  redemptions  in  the  quarter,  (3)  does  not  have  a  concentration  in  commercial  real  estate  and  (4)  is  in  good 
supervisory condition, based on its overall condition and its asset quality risk.  A holding company not meeting these criteria 
will require more in-depth consultations with the Federal Reserve.

Federal Reserve regulations also limit the amount the Bank may loan to the Company unless such loans are collateralized by 
specific obligations. At December 31, 2021, the maximum amount available for transfer from the Bank to the Company in the 
form  of  loans  was  $169,716.  The  Company  maintains  a  line  of  credit  collateralized  by  cash  with  the  Bank  totaling  $3,070. 
There were no amounts outstanding under this line of credit at December 31, 2021. 

None of these restrictions discussed above had any impact on the Company’s ability to meet its cash obligations in 2021, nor 
does  management  expect  such  restrictions  to  materially  impact  the  Company’s  ability  to  meet  its  currently-anticipated  cash 
obligations.

Contractual Obligations

The  following  table  presents,  as  of  December  31,  2021,  significant  fixed  and  determinable  contractual  obligations  to  third

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Company enters into loan commitments, standby letters of credit and derivative financial instruments in the normal course 
of its business. 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.

Loan commitments and standby letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Company. While 
the borrower has the ability to draw upon these commitments at any time (assuming the borrower’s compliance with the terms 

55

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
of  the  loan  commitment),  these  commitments  often  expire  without  being  drawn  upon.  The  Company’s  unfunded  loan 
commitments and standby letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

2020

$ 

3,104,940  $ 

2,749,988

90,597 

The  Company  closely  monitors  the  amount  of  remaining  future  commitments  to  borrowers  in  light  of  prevailing  economic 
conditions  and  adjusts  these  commitments  as  necessary.  The  Company  will  continue  this  process  as  new  commitments  are 
entered into or existing commitments are renewed.

The  Company  utilizes  derivative  financial  instruments,  including  interest  rate  contracts  such  as  swaps,  caps  and/or  floors,  as 
part of its ongoing efforts to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure and to facilitate the needs of its customers. The Company 
enters into derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments to help its commercial customers manage their 
exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts, the Company 
enters into an offsetting derivative contract position with other financial institutions. The Company manages its credit risk, or 
potential  risk  of  default  by  its  commercial  customers,  through  credit  limit  approval  and  monitoring  procedures.  At 
December 31, 2021, the Company had notional amounts of $185,447 on interest rate contracts with corporate customers and 
$185,447  in  offsetting  interest  rate  contracts  with  other  financial  institutions  to  mitigate  the  Company’s  rate  exposure  on  its 
corporate customers’ contracts.

Additionally,  the  Company  enters  into  interest  rate  lock  commitments  with  its  customers  to  mitigate  the  interest  rate  risk 
associated with the commitments to fund fixed-rate residential mortgage loans and also enters into forward commitments to sell 
residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors.

Finally,  the  Company  enters  into  forward  interest  rate  swap  contracts  on  its  FHLB  borrowings  and  its  junior  subordinated 
debentures that are accounted for as cash flow hedges. Under each of these contracts, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest 
and  receives  a  variable  rate  of  interest  based  on  the  three-month  or  one-month  LIBOR  plus  a  predetermined  spread.  The 
Company entered into an interest rate swap contract on its subordinated notes that is accounted for as a fair value hedge. Under 
this contract, the Company pays a variable rate of interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus a predetermined spread and 
receives a fixed rate of interest.

For more information about the Company’s off-balance sheet transactions, see Note 14, “Derivative Instruments” and Note 19, 
“Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk,” in the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in this report.

Shareholders’ Equity and Regulatory Matters

Total shareholders’ equity of the Company was $2,209,853 and $2,132,733 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Book 
value per share was $39.63 and $37.95 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The growth in shareholders’ equity was 
attributable  to  earnings  retention  offset  by  changes  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income,  share  repurchases  and 
dividends declared.

In  October  2021,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  approved  a  stock  repurchase  program,  authorizing  the  Company  to 
repurchase up to $50,000 of its outstanding common stock, either in open market purchases or privately-negotiated transactions. 
The program will remain in effect until the earlier of October 2022 or the repurchase of the entire amount of common stock 
authorized to be repurchased by the Board of Directors.

The Company has junior subordinated debentures with a carrying value of $111,373 at December 31, 2021, of which $107,782 
are  included  in  the  Company’s  Tier  1  capital.    Federal  Reserve  guidelines  limit  the  amount  of  securities  that,  similar  to  our 
junior subordinated debentures, are includable in Tier 1 capital, but these guidelines did not impact the amount of debentures 
we  include  in  Tier  1  capital.  Although  our  existing  junior  subordinated  debentures  are  currently  unaffected  by  these  Federal 
Reserve  guidelines,  on  account  of  changes  enacted  as  part  of  the  Dodd-Frank  Act,  any  new  trust  preferred  securities  are  not 
includable in Tier 1 capital. Further, if as a result of an acquisition of another financial institution we exceed $15,000,000 in 
assets, or if we make any such acquisition after we have exceeded $15,000,000 in assets, we will lose Tier 1 treatment of our 
junior subordinated debentures.

The Company has subordinated notes with a carrying value of $359,419 at December 31, 2021, of which $358,831 are included 
in the Company’s Tier 2 capital. As previously discussed in the “Financial Condition” section above, in the fourth quarter of 

56

 
 
2021,  the  Company  issued  $200,000  of  its  3.00%  fixed-to-floating  rate  subordinated  notes  due  December  1,  2031,  and  it 
redeemed $45,000 of its outstanding notes.

The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have issued guidelines governing the levels 
of capital that bank holding companies and banks must maintain. Those guidelines specify capital tiers, which include the 
following classifications:

transitional relief offered by the Federal Reserve and FDIC to delay for two years the estimated impact of CECL on regulatory

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In  addition  to  results  presented  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  in  the  United  States  of  America 
(“GAAP”),  this  document  contains  certain  non-GAAP  financial  measures,  namely,  return  on  average  tangible  shareholders’ 
equity,  return  on  average  tangible  assets,  the  ratio  of  tangible  equity  to  tangible  assets,  the  ratio  of  the  allowance  for  credit 
losses on loans to total loans, excluding PPP loans (the “adjusted allowance ratio”), and an adjusted efficiency ratio. Other than 
the  adjusted  allowance  ratio  (which  only  excludes  PPP  loans),  these  non-GAAP  financial  measures  adjust  GAAP  financial 
measures  to  exclude  intangible  assets  and,  with  respect  to  the  efficiency  ratio,  certain  charges  (such  as,  when  applicable, 
COVID-19  related  expenses,  gains  on  sales  of  securities,  debt  prepayment  penalties,  restructuring  charges,  swap  termination 
gains  and  charges  and  asset  valuation  adjustments)  with  respect  to  which  the  Company  is  unable  to  accurately  predict  when 
these charges will be incurred or, when incurred, the amount thereof. With respect to COVID-19 related expenses in particular, 
management added these expenses as a charge to exclude when calculating non-GAAP financial measures because the expenses 
included  within  this  line  item  are  readily  quantifiable  and  possess  the  same  characteristics  with  respect  to  management’s 
inability to accurately predict the timing or amount thereof as the other charges excluded when calculating non-GAAP financial 
measures.  Management  uses  these  non-GAAP  financial  measures  (other  than  the  adjusted  allowance  ratio)  when  evaluating 
capital  utilization  and  adequacy,  while  it  uses  the  adjusted  allowance  ratio  to  determine  the  adequacy  of  our  allowance  with 
respect to loans not fully guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. In addition, the Company believes that these 
non-GAAP  financial  measures  facilitate  the  making  of  period-to-period  comparisons  and  are  meaningful  indicators  of  its 
operating  performance,  particularly  because  these  measures  are  widely  used  by  industry  analysts  for  companies  with  merger 
and acquisition activities. Also, because intangible assets such as goodwill and the core deposit intangible and charges such as 
debt  prepayment  penalties,  restructuring  charges  and  COVID-19  related  expenses  can  vary  extensively  from  company  to 
company  and,  as  to  intangible  assets,  are  excluded  from  the  calculation  of  a  financial  institution’s  regulatory  capital,  the 
Company  believes  that  the  presentation  of  this  non-GAAP  financial  information  allows  readers  to  more  easily  compare  the 
Company’s results to information provided in other regulatory reports and the results of other companies. The reconciliations 
from GAAP to non-GAAP for these financial measures are below.

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.

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting 
designed  to  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial 
statements  for  external  purposes  in  accordance  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 of America 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 any 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an 
assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, 
based  on  criteria  for  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  described  in  the  “Internal  Control  -  Integrated 
Framework,”    (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission.  Based  on  this 
assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s 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  that  has  audited  the  Company’s  financial  statements  included  in  this  annual 
report, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Renasant Corporation

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Renasant Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 31, 
2021  and  2020,  the  related  consolidated  statements  of  income,  comprehensive  income,  changes  in  shareholders’  equity,  and 
cash  flows,  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2021,  and  the  related  notes  to  the  consolidated 
financial  statements  (collectively,  referred  to  as  the  “financial  statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(the “PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established 
in  the  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission  in  2013,  and  our  report  dated    February  25,  2022,  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the 
Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules 
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to 
error  or  fraud.  Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial 
statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing  procedures  that  respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures  included 
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included 
evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall 
presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that 
was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are 
material  to  the  financial  statements  and  (2)  involved  especially  challenging,  subjective,  or  complex  judgments.  The 
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and 
we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the 
accounts or disclosures to which it relates. 

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans

Description of the Matter

As described in Notes 1 and 5 to the financial statements, the Company’s allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) is a valuation 
allowance  that  reflects  the  Company's  best  estimate  of  expected  credit  losses  inherent  within  the  Company’s  loans  held  for 
investment portfolio and is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb credit losses inherent in the entire 
loan  portfolio  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Standards  Codification  ASC  326:  Financial  Instruments  –  Credit  Losses.  The 
ACL is measured over the contractual life of loans held for investment and for off-balance sheet commitments and is estimated 
using  relevant  available  information  relating  to  past  events,  current  conditions,  and  reasonable  and  supportable  forecasts,  as 
well as qualitative adjustments. The ACL was $164,171,000 at December 31, 2021, which consisted of 1) $151,708,000 of loss 
allocations on pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics (“collectively evaluated loans”) and 2) $12,463,000 of loss 
allocations on individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of expected credit 
losses for such individual loans (“individually evaluated loans”).

The Company’s measurement of expected credit losses of loans on a pool basis when the loans share similar risk characteristics 
is  based  off  of  historical  data  that  is  adjusted,  as  necessary,  for  both  internal  and  external  qualitative  factors  where  there  are 

64

differences in the historical loss data of the Company and current or projected future conditions. Consideration of the relevant 
qualitative factors are used to bring the ACL to the level management believes is appropriate based on factors that are otherwise 
unaccounted for in the quantitative process. The ACL also includes reserves for loans evaluated on an individual basis, such as 
certain loans graded substandard or on nonaccrual. Management applies judgment in the determination of the qualitative factors 
and reserves assigned on an individual basis to estimate the ACL.

The ACL was identified by us as a critical audit matter because of the extent of auditor judgment applied and significant audit 
effort to evaluate the significant subjective and complex judgments made by management including the judgment required in 
evaluating  management’s  determination  of  the  qualitative  factors  and  the  reserve  assumptions  for  loans  evaluated  on  an 
individual basis.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

The primary audit procedures we performed in response to this critical audit matter included:

a. Obtained  an  understanding  of  the  Company’s  process  for  establishing  the  ACL,  including  determination  of  the
qualitative  factors  and  reserve  assumptions  for  loans  evaluated  on  an  individual  basis,  and  evaluated  the  process
utilized by management to challenge the model results and determine the best estimate of the ACL as of the balance
sheet date.

b. Evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the controls associated with the ACL process, including
controls  around  the  reliability  and  accuracy  of  data  used  in  the  model,  management’s  review  and  approval  of  the
selected qualitative factors, the reserve assumptions for loans evaluated on an individual basis, the governance of the
credit loss methodology, and management’s review and approval of the ACL.

c. Assessed  reasonableness  of  model  methodology  and  key  modeling  assumptions,  as  well  as  the  appropriateness  of

management’s qualitative framework, and reserve assumptions for loans evaluated on an individual basis.

d. Performed  specific  substantive  tests  of  the  model  utilized,  qualitative  factors  and  the  reserve  assumptions  for  loans
evaluated  on  an  individual  basis.  We  evaluated  if  qualitative  factors  were  applied  based  on  a  comprehensive
framework  and  compared  the  adjustments  utilized  by  management  to  both  internal  portfolio  metrics  and  external
macroeconomic  data  (as  applicable)  to  support  adjustments  and  evaluate  trends  in  such  adjustments.  Within  our
reserve  testing  for  loans  evaluated  on  an  individual  basis,  we  evaluated  management’s  assumptions,  including
collateral valuations. In addition, we evaluated the Company’s estimate of the overall ACL giving consideration to the
Company’s  borrowers,  loan  portfolio,  and  macroeconomic  trends,  independently  obtained  and  compared  such
information to comparable financial institutions and considered whether new or contrary information existed.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2005.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Renasant Corporation:

Opinion on the Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Renasant Corporation’s (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, 
based  on  criteria  established  in  the  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2021,  based  on  criteria  established  in  the  Internal  Control  - 
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(the  “PCAOB”),  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of  the  Company  as  of  December  31,  2021  and  our  report  dated 
February 25, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion.

Basis for Opinion

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  and  for  its 
assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  in  the  accompanying  Report  on  Management’s 
Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal 
control  over  financial  reporting  based  on  our  audit.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  PCAOB  and  are 
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules 
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 
audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  effective  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  maintained  in  all 
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 
that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on 
the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. 
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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.

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies

(Dollar amounts in thousands)

Nature  of  Operations:  Renasant  Corporation  (referred  to  herein  as  the  “Company”)  owns  and  operates  Renasant  Bank 
(“Renasant Bank” or the “Bank”), Renasant Insurance, Inc. and Park Place Capital Corporation. Through its subsidiaries, the 
Company  offers  a  diversified  range  of  financial,  wealth  management,  fiduciary  and  insurance  services  to  its  retail  and 
commercial customers from offices located throughout Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina 
and Tennessee.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States of America (“GAAP”) 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.

Consolidation:  The  accompanying  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  these  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements 
include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  consolidated  subsidiaries,  all  of  which  are  wholly-owned.  All  intercompany 
balances  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated.  Certain  prior  year  amounts  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the  current 
year presentation.  Reclassifications had no effect on prior years’ net income or shareholders’ equity.

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 positive intent and ability to 
hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Presently, the Company has no intention 
of establishing a trading classification. Securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale.  
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,  regardless  of  classification,  is  adjusted  for  amortization  of  premiums  and  accretion  of 
discounts. Such amortization and accretion is included in interest income from securities, as is dividend income. Realized gains 
and  losses  on  sales  of  securities  are  reflected  under  the  line  item  “Net  gains  on  sales  of  securities”  on  the  Consolidated 
Statements of Income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

The  Company  evaluates  its  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  the  held  to  maturity  investment  portfolio  on  a  quarterly  basis  in 
accordance  with  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (“FASB”)  Accounting  Standards  Codification  Topic  (“ASC”)  326, 
“Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”). Expected credit losses on debt securities classified as held to maturity are 
measured on a collective basis by major security type. The estimates of expected credit losses are based on historical default 
rates,  investment  grades,  current  conditions,  and  reasonable  and  supportable  forecasts  about  the  future.  The  allowance  is 
increased through provision for credit losses and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries of amounts previously charged-off. 
All of the residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities recorded as held to maturity are issued by U.S. Government 
agencies and GSEs. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by 
major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. The state and political subdivision securities are highly rated 
by major rating agencies.

The Company also evaluates available for sale investment securities in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis. If the 
Company  intends  to  sell  the  security  or  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  it  will  be  required  to  sell  before  recovery,  the  entire 
unrealized loss is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income with a corresponding 
adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more 
likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates if 
any of the unrealized loss is related to a potential credit loss. The amount, if any, related to credit loss is recognized in earnings 
as  a  provision  for  credit  loss  and  a  corresponding  allowance  for  credit  losses  is  established  and  each  is  calculated  as  the 
difference  between  the  estimate  of  discounted  future  cash  flows  and  the  amortized  cost  basis  of  the  security.  A  number  of 
qualitative and quantitative factors, including the financial condition of the underlying issuer and current and projected deferrals 
or  defaults,  are  considered  by  management  in  the  estimate  of  the  discounted  future  cash  flows.  The  remaining  difference 
between the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the security is considered the amount related to other market factors and 
is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Recognition  of  investment  interest  is  discontinued  on  debt  securities  that  are  transferred  to  nonaccrual  status.  A  number  of 
qualitative factors, including the financial condition of the underlying issuer and current and projected deferrals or defaults, are 
considered  by  management  in  the  determination  of  whether  the  debt  security  should  be  transferred  to  nonaccrual  status.  The 
interest on nonaccrual investment securities is accounted for on the cash-basis method until the debt security qualifies for return 
to accrual status. See Note 2, “Securities,” for further details regarding the Company’s securities portfolio.

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 agency securities, pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements cannot be sold or repledged 
by the secured party.

Loans  Held  for  Sale:  Residential  mortgage  loans  held  for  sale  are  included  in  the  line  item  “Loans  held  for  sale”  on  the 
Company’s  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.  The  Company  has  elected  to  carry  these  loans  at  fair  value  as  permitted  under  the 
guidance in ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). Gains and losses are realized at the time consideration is received 
and all other criteria for sales treatment have been met. These realized and unrealized gains and losses are classified under the 
line item “Mortgage banking income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Loans and the Allowance for Credit 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 amortized cost or outstanding unpaid principal balances, in either case 
adjusted  for  charge-offs,  the  allowance  for  credit  losses,  any  deferred  fees  or  costs  on  originated  loans  and  any  purchase 
discounts  or  premiums  on  purchased  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 over the term of the note for all 
loans with payment schedules. 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.

Loans  are  considered  past  due  if  the  required  principal  and  interest  payments  have  not  been  received  as  of  the  date  such 
payments were due. Generally, the recognition of interest on mortgage and commercial and industrial 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 the time the loan is 120 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual 
status  or  charged-off  at  an  earlier  date  if  collection  of  principal  or  interest  is  considered  doubtful.  Loans  may  be  placed  on 
nonaccrual regardless of whether or not such loans are considered past due. 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 amount of which was 
immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-
basis  or  cost-recovery  method,  until  qualifying  for  return  to  accrual.  Interest  income  recognized  on  nonaccrual  loans  was 
immaterial  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021.  Loans  are  returned  to  accrual  status  when  all  the  principal  and  interest 
amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. As a result, the Company has made 
an  accounting  policy  election  to  exclude  accrued  interest  from  the  measurement  of  the  allowance  for  credit  losses.  As  of 
December  31,  2021  and  2020,  the  Company  has  accrued  interest  receivable  for  loans  of  $41,692  and  $56,459,  respectively, 
which is recorded in the “Other assets” line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although the Company made the election 
to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of the allowance for credit losses, the Company did have an allowance for 
credit losses on interest deferred as part of the loan deferral program implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic of 
$1,273 and $1,500, respectively, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Restructured loans are those for which concessions have been granted to the borrower due to a deterioration of the borrower’s 
financial condition and are performing in accordance with the new terms. Such concessions may include reduction in interest 
rates or deferral of interest or principal payments. In evaluating whether to restructure a loan, management analyzes the long-
term  financial  condition  of  the  borrower,  including  guarantor  and  collateral  support,  to  determine  whether  the  proposed 
concessions will increase the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest. Restructured loans that are not performing in 
accordance with their restructured terms that are either contractually 90 days past due or have been placed on nonaccrual status 
are reported as nonperforming loans.

The  allowance  for  credit  losses  is  an  estimate  of  expected  losses  inherent  within  the  Company’s  loans  held  for  investment 
portfolio  and  is  maintained  at  a  level  believed  adequate  by  management  to  absorb  credit  losses  inherent  in  the  entire  loan 
portfolio in accordance with ASC 326. Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly 
basis.  Expected credit loss inherent in non-cancellable off-balance-sheet credit exposures is accounted for as a separate liability 

74

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The allowance for credit losses for loans held for investment, as reported in the Company’s 
Consolidated  Balance  Sheets,  is  adjusted  by  a  provision  for  credit  losses,  which  is  reported  in  earnings,  and  reduced  by  net 
charge-offs. Loan losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes the uncollectability of a 
loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The credit loss estimation process involves procedures to appropriately consider the unique characteristics of the Company’s 
loan  portfolio  segments.  Credit  quality  is  assessed  and  monitored  by  evaluating  various  attributes,  and  the  results  of  those 
evaluations are utilized in underwriting new loans and in the Company’s process for the estimation of expected credit losses. 
Credit quality monitoring procedures and indicators can include an 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 the Company’s risk rating system, regulatory guidance and economic conditions, such as the unemployment 
rate  and  GDP  growth  in  the  markets  in  which  the  Company  operates,  as  well  as  trends  in  the  market  values  of  underlying 
collateral  securing  loans,  all  as  determined  based  on  input  from  management,  loan  review  staff  and  other  sources.  This 
evaluation  is  complex  and  inherently  subjective,  as  it  requires  estimates  by  management  that  are  inherently  uncertain  and 
therefore susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. In future periods, evaluations of the overall 
loan  portfolio,  in  light  of  the  factors  and  forecasts  then  prevailing,  may  result  in  significant  changes  in  the  allowance  and 
provision for credit losses in those future periods.

The methodology for estimating the amount of expected credit losses reported in the allowance for credit losses has two basic 
components: first, a collective or pooled component for estimating expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar 
risk  characteristics;  and  second,  an  asset-specific  component  involving  individual  loans  that  do  not  share  risk  characteristics 
with other loans and the measurement of expected credit losses for such individual loans.

Loans Evaluated on a Collective (Pool) Basis

The allowance for credit losses for loans that share similar risk characteristics with other loans is calculated on a collective or 
pool basis, where such loans are segregated into loan portfolio segments based upon similarity of credit risk. The Company’s 
primary loan portfolio segments are as follows:

Commercial,  Financial,  and  Agricultural  (“Commercial”)  -  Commercial  loans  are  customarily  granted  to  established  local 
business customers in the Company’s market area on a collateralized basis to meet their credit needs.  Maturities are typically 
short  term  in  nature  and  are  commensurate  with  the  secondary  source  of  repayment  that  serves  as  the  Company’s  collateral. 
Although  commercial  loans  may  be  collateralized  by  equipment  or  other  business  assets,  the  repayment  of  this  type  of  loan 
depends  primarily  on  the  creditworthiness  and  projected  cash  flow  of  the  borrower  (and  any  guarantors).  Thus,  the  chief 
considerations  when  assessing  the  risk  of  a  commercial  loan  are  the  local  business  borrower’s  ability  to  sell  its  products/
services, thereby generating sufficient operating revenue to repay the Company under the agreed upon terms and conditions, 
and the general business conditions of the local economy or other market that the business serves.

Real Estate - Construction - The Company’s construction loan portfolio consists of loans for the construction of single family 
residential properties, multi-family properties and commercial projects. Maturities for construction loans generally range from 6 
to 12 months for residential properties and from 24 to 36 months for non-residential and multi-family properties. The source of 
repayment of a construction loan comes from the sale or lease of newly-constructed property, although often construction loans 
are  repaid  with  the  proceeds  of  a  commercial  real  estate  loan  that  the  Company  makes  to  the  owner  or  lessor  of  the  newly-
constructed property.

Real Estate - 1-4 Family Mortgage - This segment of the Company’s loan portfolio includes loans secured by first or second 
liens  on  residential  real  estate  in  which  the  property  is  the  principal  residence  of  the  borrower,  as  well  as  loans  secured  by 
residential real estate in which the property is rented to tenants or is otherwise not the principal residence of the borrower; loans 
for  the  preparation  of  residential  real  property  prior  to  construction  are  also  included  in  this  segment.  Finally,  this  segment 
includes  home  equity  loans  or  lines  of  credit  and  term  loans  secured  by  first  and  second  mortgages  on  the  residences  of 
borrowers who elect to use the accumulated equity in their homes for purchases, refinances, home improvements, education and 
other  personal  expenditures.  The  Company  attempts  to  minimize  the  risk  associated  with  residential  real  estate  loans  by 
scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower; typically, the maximum loan-to-value ratio is also limited.

Real  Estate  -  Commercial  Mortgage  -  Included  in  this  portfolio  segment  (referred  to  collectively  as  “commercial  real  estate 
loans”) are “owner-occupied” loans in which the owner develops a property with the intention of locating its business there. 
Payments  on  these  loans  are  dependent  on  the  successful  development  and  management  of  the  business  as  well  as  the 

75

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

borrower’s ability to generate sufficient operating revenue to repay the loan. In some instances, in addition to the mortgage on 
the underlying real estate of the business, commercial real estate loans are secured by other non-real estate collateral, such as 
equipment or other assets used in the business. In addition to owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, the Company offers 
loans in which the owner develops a property where the source of repayment of the loan will come from the sale or lease of the 
developed property, for example, retail shopping centers, hotels and storage facilities. These loans are referred to as “non-owner 
occupied”  commercial  real  estate  loans.  The  Company  also  offers  commercial  real  estate  loans  to  developers  of  commercial 
properties  for  purposes  of  site  acquisition  and  preparation  and  other  development  prior  to  actual  construction  (referred  to  as 
“commercial land development loans”). Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans and commercial land development 
loans are dependent on the successful completion of the project and may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate 
market or the economy as a whole.

Lease  Financing  -  This  segment  of  the  Company’s  loan  portfolio  includes  loans  granted  to  provide  capital  to  businesses  for 
commercial equipment needs.  These loans are generally granted for periods ranging between two and five years at fixed rates 
of interest. Loss or decline of income by the borrower due to unplanned occurrences represents the primary risk of default to the 
Company. In the event of default, a shortfall in the value of the collateral may pose a loss in this loan category. The Company 
obtains a lien against the collateral securing the loan and holds title (if applicable) until the loan is repaid in full. Transportation, 
manufacturing, healthcare, material handling, printing and construction are the industries that typically obtain lease financing.  

Installment  Loans  to  Individuals  -  Installment  loans  to  individuals  (or  “consumer  loans”)  are  granted  to  individuals  for  the 
purchase of personal goods. Loss or decline of income by the borrower due to unplanned occurrences represents the primary 
risk  of  default  to  the  Company.  In  the  event  of  default,  a  shortfall  in  the  value  of  the  collateral  may  pose  a  loss  in  this  loan 
category. Before granting a consumer loan, the Company assesses 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. The Company obtains a lien against 
the collateral securing the loan and holds title until the loan is repaid in full.

In  determining  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  loans  evaluated  on  a  collective  basis,  the  Company  categorizes  loan  pools 
based on loan type and/or risk rating. The Company uses two CECL models: (1) a loss rate model, based on average historical 
life-of-loan loss rates, which is used for the Real Estate - 1-4 Family Mortgage, Real Estate - Construction and the Installment 
Loans  to  Individuals  portfolio  segments,  and  (2)  for  the  C&I,  Real  Estate  -  Commercial  Mortgage  and  Lease  Financing 
portfolio  segments,  the  Company  uses  a  probability  of  default/loss  given  default  model,  which  calculates  an  expected  loss 
percentage for each loan pool by considering (a) the probability of default, based on the migration of loans from performing 
(using risk ratings) to default using life-of-loan analysis periods, and (b) the historical severity of loss, based on the aggregate 
net lifetime losses incurred per loan pool.

The  historical  loss  rates  calculated  as  described  above  are  adjusted,  as  necessary,  for  both  internal  and  external  qualitative 
factors where there are differences in the historical loss data of the Company and current or projected future conditions. Internal 
factors include loss history, changes in credit quality (including movement between risk ratings) and/or credit concentration and 
changes in the nature and volume of the respective loan portfolio segments. External factors include current and reasonable and 
supportable forecasted economic conditions and changes in collateral values. These factors are used to adjust the historical loss 
rates (as described above) to ensure that they reflect management’s expectation of future conditions based on a reasonable and 
supportable forecast period. To the extent the lives of the loans in the portfolio extend beyond the period for which a reasonable 
and supportable forecast can be made, when necessary, the models immediately revert back to the historical loss rates adjusted 
for qualitative factors related to current conditions.

Loans Evaluated on an Individual Basis

For  loans  that  do  not  share  similar  risk  characteristics  with  other  loans,  an  individual  analysis  is  performed  to  determine  the 
expected credit loss. If the respective loan is collateral dependent (that is, when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty 
and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral), the expected credit loss is 
measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the loan and the fair value of the collateral. The fair value of 
collateral  is  initially  based  on  external  appraisals.  Generally,  collateral  values  for  loans  for  which  measurement  of  expected 
losses is dependent on the fair value of such collateral are updated every twelve months, either from external third parties or in-
house  certified  appraisers.  Third-party  appraisals  are  obtained  from  a  pre-approved  list  of  independent,  local  appraisal  firms. 
The fair value of the collateral derived from external appraisal is then adjusted for the estimated cost to sell if repayment or 
satisfaction of a loan is dependent on the sale (rather than only on the operation) of the collateral. Other acceptable methods for 

76

determining the expected credit losses for individually evaluated loans (typically used when the loan is not collateral dependent) 
is  a  discounted  cash  flow  approach  or,  if  applicable,  an  observable  market  price.  Once  the  expected  credit  loss  amount  is 
determined, an allowance equal to such expected credit loss is included in the allowance for credit losses. 

The  Company  considers  the  loans  in  the  Real  Estate  -  Construction,  Real  Estate  -  1-4  Family  Mortgage  and  Real  Estate  - 
Commercial Mortgage loan segments disclosed as individually evaluated in Note 5, “Allowance for Credit Losses” as collateral 
dependent with the type of collateral being real estate. 

The Company maintains a separate allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, which is included in the “Other 
liabilities”  line  item  on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.  Changes  in  such  allowance  are  recorded  in  the  “Other  noninterest 
expense”  line  item  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income.  Management  estimates  the  amount  of  expected  losses  on 
unfunded  loan  commitments  by  calculating  a  likelihood  of  funding  over  the  contractual  period  for  exposures  that  are  not 
unconditionally  cancellable  by  the  Company  and  applying  the  loss  factors  used  in  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  on  loans 
methodology described above to unfunded commitments for each loan type. No credit loss estimate is reported for off-balance-
sheet credit exposures that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

Prior  to  the  adoption  of  ASC  326  on  January  1,  2020,  the  allowance  was  calculated  under  the  guidance  on  collective 
impairment as recognized under ASC 450, “Contingencies.” Collective impairment was calculated based on loans grouped by 
grade. Another component of the allowance was losses on loans assessed as impaired under ASC 310, “Receivables” (“ASC 
310”).  The  balance  of  these  loans  and  their  related  allowance  was  included  in  management’s  estimation  and  analysis  of  the 
allowance for loan losses. 

See Note 3, “ Non Purchased Loans,” Note 4, “Purchased Loans,” and Note 5, “ Allowance for Credit Losses” for disclosures 
regarding  the  Company’s  past  due  and  nonaccrual  loans,  impaired  loans  and  restructured  loans  and  its  allowance  for  credit 
losses. 

Business Combinations, Accounting for Purchased Credit Deteriorated Loans and Related Assets: Business combinations are 
accounted  for  by  applying  the  acquisition  method  in  accordance  with  ASC  805,  “Business  Combinations.”  Under  the 
acquisition  method,  identifiable  assets  acquired  and  liabilities  assumed  and  any  non-controlling  interest  in  the  acquired 
company at the acquisition date are measured at their fair values as of that date and are recognized separately from goodwill. 
Results  of  operations  of  the  acquired  entities  are  included  in  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income  from  the  date  of 
acquisition.  Acquisition costs incurred by the Company are expensed as incurred.

For a purchased asset that the Company has the intent of holding for investment, ASC 326 requires the Company to determine 
whether  the  asset  has  experienced  more-than-insignificant  deterioration  in  credit  quality  since  origination.  Assets  that  have 
experienced  more-than  insignificant  deterioration  are  referred  to  as  purchased  credit  deteriorated  (“PCD”)  assets.  ASC  326 
provides for special initial recognition of PCD assets, commonly referred to as the “gross-up” approach, where the allowance 
for credit losses is recognized by adding it to the fair value to arrive at the Day 1 amortized cost basis. After initial recognition, 
the  accounting  for  PCD  assets  will  generally  follow  the  credit  loss  model  that  applies  to  that  type  of  asset.  Non-PCD  assets 
record the Day 1 allowance for credit losses through earnings on the date of purchase. The Company will accrete or amortize as 
interest income the fair value discounts on both PCD and non-PCD assets over the life of the asset.

Premises and Equipment: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed 
primarily by use of the straight-line method for furniture, fixtures, equipment, autos and premises. The annual provisions for 
depreciation have been computed primarily using estimated lives of 40 years for premises, three to seven years for furniture and 
equipment and three to five years for computer equipment and autos. Leasehold improvements are expensed over the period of 
the leases or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

ASC 842, “Leases” ("ASC 842") requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term 
greater than 12 months on its balance sheet regardless of whether the lease is classified as financing or operating.   

77

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

All  of  the  Company’s  lessee  arrangements  are  operating  leases,  being  real  estate  leases  for  Company  facilities.  Under  these 
arrangements, the Company records right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities, each of which is based on the present 
value of the remaining lease payments and are discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Right-of-use assets are 
reported in premises and equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the related lease liabilities are reported in other 
liabilities. All leases are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets except for leases with an initial term less than 12 months 
for which the Company elected short-term lease recognition under ASC 842. Lease terms may contain renewal and extension 
options and early termination features. Many leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend 
the lease term from one to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Renewal 
options which are reasonably certain to be exercised in the future were included in the measurement of right-of-use assets and 
lease liabilities.

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in the “Net occupancy and equipment 
expense”  line  item  in  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income.  Variable  lease  payments  consist  primarily  of  common  area 
maintenance and taxes. The Company does not have any material sublease agreements currently in place.

Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned consists of properties acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed 
in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are initially recorded into other real estate at fair market value less cost to sell and are 
subsequently  carried  at  the  lower  of  cost  or  fair  market  value  based  on  appraised  value  less  estimated  selling  costs.  Losses 
arising at the time of foreclosure of properties are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Reductions in the carrying 
value subsequent to acquisition are charged to earnings and are included under the line item “Other real estate owned” on the 
Consolidated Statements of Income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: The Company retains the right to service certain mortgage loans that it sells to secondary market 
investors. These mortgage servicing rights are recognized as a separate asset on the date the corresponding mortgage loan is 
sold.  Mortgage  servicing  rights  are  amortized  in  proportion  to  and  over  the  period  of  estimated  net  servicing  income.  These 
servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach with 
various  assumptions  including  expected  cash  flows,  prepayment  speeds,  market  discount  rates,  servicing  costs,  mortgage 
interest  rates  and  other  factors.  Servicing  rights  are  evaluated  for  impairment  based  upon  the  fair  value  of  the  rights  as 
compared  to  carrying  amount.  Impairment  is  recognized  through  a  valuation  allowance,  to  the  extent  that  unamortized  cost 
exceeds fair value. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists, a reduction of the 
valuation allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. Changes in valuation allowances related to servicing rights are 
reported in the line item “Mortgage banking income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair values of servicing 
rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates 
and losses. See Note 9, "Mortgage Servicing Rights", for further details. 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net 
assets acquired. Other intangible assets represent purchased assets that 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. 
Goodwill and other intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually or more frequently if events or circumstances 
indicate  possible  impairment;  if  impaired,  such  assets  are  recorded  at  fair  value.  Goodwill  is  assigned  to  the  Company’s 
reporting  segments.  In  determining  the  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  reporting  units,  management  uses  the  market  approach. 
Other intangible assets, consisting of core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles, are reviewed for events or 
circumstances  which  could  impact  the  recoverability  of  the  intangible  asset,  such  as  a  loss  of  core  deposits,  increased 
competition  or  adverse  changes  in  the  economy.  No  impairment  was  identified  for  the  Company’s  goodwill  or  its  other 
intangible assets as a result of the testing performed during 2021, 2020 or 2019.

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. The Company has purchased such insurance policies 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 line item “BOLI income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers: ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) provides guidance 
on revenue recognition from contracts with customers. For revenue streams within its scope, ASC 606 requires costs that are 
incremental  to  obtaining  a  contract  to  be  capitalized.  In  the  case  of  the  Company,  these  costs  include  sales  commissions  for 
insurance, wealth management fees, and revenue from certain sales of OREO. ASC 606 has established, and the Company has 

78

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

utilized, a practical expedient allowing costs that, if capitalized, would have an amortization period of one year or less to instead 
be expensed as incurred. 

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts include maintenance fees on accounts, per item charges, account enhancement charges for 
additional packaged benefits and overdraft fees. The contracts with deposit account customers are day-to-day contracts and are 
considered  to  be  terminable  at  will  by  either  party.  Therefore,  the  fees  are  all  considered  to  be  earned  when  charged  and 
simultaneously collected. 

Fees and Commissions

Fees  and  commissions  include  fees  related  to  deposit  services,  such  as  ATM  fees  and  interchange  fees  on  debit  card 
transactions.  These  fees  are  earned  at  the  point  in  time  when  the  services  are  rendered,  and  therefore  the  related  revenue  is 
recognized as the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied.

Insurance Commissions

Insurance  commissions  are  earned  when  policies  are  placed  by  customers  with  the  insurance  carriers  and  are  collected  and 
recognized using two different methods: the agency bill method and the direct bill method.

Under  the  agency  bill  method,  Renasant  Insurance  is  responsible  for  billing  the  customers  directly  and  then  collecting  and 
remitting the premiums to the insurance carriers. Agency bill revenue is recognized at the later of the invoice date or effective 
date  of  the  policy.  The  Company  has  established  a  reserve  for  such  policies  which  is  derived  from  historical  collection 
experience  and  updated  annually.  The  contract  balances  (i.e.  accounts  receivable  and  accounts  payable  related  to  insurance 
commissions earned and premiums due) and the reserve established are considered immaterial to the overall financial results of 
the Company. 

Under the direct bill method, premium billing and collections are handled by the insurance carriers, and a commission is then 
paid  to  Renasant  Insurance.  Direct  bill  revenue  is  recognized  when  the  commission  payment  is  received  from  the  insurance 
carriers. While there is recourse on these commissions in the event of policy cancellations, based on the Company’s historical 
data,  material  reversals  of  revenue  based  on  policy  cancellations  are  not  anticipated.  The  Company  monitors  policy 
cancellations  on  a  monthly  basis  and,  if  a  material  set  of  cancellations  were  to  occur,  the  Company  would  adjust  earnings 
accordingly.

The Company also earns contingency income that it recognizes on a cash basis. Contingency income is a bonus received from 
the  insurance  underwriters  and  is  based  on  commission  income  and  claims  experience  on  the  Company’s  clients’  policies 
during the previous year. Increases and decreases in contingency income are reflective of corresponding increases and decreases 
in the amount of claims paid by insurance carriers. 

Wealth Management Revenue

Fees for managing trust accounts (inclusive of personal and corporate benefit accounts, IRAs, and custodial accounts) are based 
on the value of assets under management in the account, with the amount of the fee depending on the type of account. Revenue 
is recognized on a monthly basis, and there is little to no risk of a material reversal of revenue. 

Fees for other wealth management services, such as investment guidance relating to fixed and variable annuities, mutual funds, 
stocks and other investments, are recognized based on either trade activity, where fees are recognized at the time of the trade, or 
assets under management, where fees are recognized monthly. 

Sales of Other Real Estate Owned

The Company continually markets the properties included in the OREO portfolio. The Company will at times, in the ordinary 
course  of  business,  provide  seller-financing  on  sales  of  OREO.  In  cases  where  a  sale  is  seller-financed,  the  Company  must 
ensure the commitment of both parties to perform their respective obligations and the collectability of the transaction price in 
order to properly recognize the revenue on the sale of OREO. This is accomplished through the Company’s loan underwriting 
process. In this process the Company considers factors such as the buyer’s initial equity in the property, the credit quality of the 
buyer, the financing terms of the loan and the cash flow from the property, if applicable. If it is determined that the contract 
criteria in ASC 606 have been met, the revenue on the sale of OREO will be recognized on the closing date of the sale when the 

79

 
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Company has transferred title to the buyer and obtained the right to receive payment for the property. In instances where sales 
are  not  seller-financed,  the  Company  recognizes  revenue  on  the  closing  date  of  the  sale  when  the  Company  has  obtained 
payment for the property and transferred title to the buyer. For additional information on OREO, please see Note 7, “Other Real 
Estate Owned.”

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. It is the Company’s policy to 
recognize interest and penalties, if incurred, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. 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.

Deferred income taxes, included in “Other assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, 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. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable 
income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years. Although realization is not assured, management believes that the Company 
and  its  subsidiaries  will  realize  a  substantial  majority  of  the  deferred  tax  assets.  A  valuation  allowance,  if  needed,  reduces 
deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized through a charge to income tax expense.

Fair Value Measurements: ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” provides guidance for using fair value to 
measure assets and liabilities and also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to 
measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to a valuation based on quoted 
prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), moderate priority to a valuation based on quoted prices in 
active markets for similar assets and liabilities and/or based on assumptions that are observable in the market (Level 2), and the 
lowest priority to a valuation based on assumptions that are not observable in the market (Level 3). See Note 16, “Fair Value 
Measurements,” for further details regarding the Company’s methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the 
Company’s financial assets and liabilities.

Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities:  The  Company  utilizes  derivative  financial  instruments  as  part  of  its  ongoing 
efforts to manage its interest rate risk exposure as well as to meet the needs of its customers. Derivative financial instruments 
are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets line item “Other assets” or “Other liabilities” at fair value in accordance with 
ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”

Cash flow hedges are utilized to mitigate the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows or other types of forecasted 
transactions. For the Company’s derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are, 
to  the  extent  that  the  hedging  relationship  is  effective,  recorded  as  other  comprehensive  income  and  are  subsequently 
recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item is recognized in earnings. There were no ineffective portions for 
2021. The ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the hedging instruments are immediately recognized in earnings. 
The assessment of the effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated under the hypothetical derivative method.

Fair value hedges are utilized to mitigate the exposure to future interest rate risk.  For the Company’s derivatives designated as 
fair  value  hedges,  the  gain  or  loss  on  the  derivative  instrument  as  well  as  the  offsetting  loss  or  gain  on  the  hedged  liability 
attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The gain or loss on the derivative instrument is presented on 
the same line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item.

The  Company  also  utilizes  derivative  instruments  that  are  not  designated  as  hedging  instruments.  The  Company  enters  into 
interest rate cap and/or floor agreements with its customers and then enters into an offsetting derivative contract position with 
other financial institutions to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer contracts. Because these derivative 
instruments are not designated as hedging instruments, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recognized 
currently in earnings.

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments on certain residential mortgage loans with its customers to mitigate the 
interest rate risk associated with the commitments to fund fixed-rate mortgage loans. Under such commitments, interest rates 
for  a  mortgage  loan  are  typically  locked  in  for  up  to  45  days  with  the  customer.  These  interest  rate  lock  commitments  are 
recorded at fair value in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses arising from changes in the valuation of 
the commitments are recognized currently in earnings and are reflected under the line item “Mortgage banking income” on the 
Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company utilizes two methods to deliver mortgage loans to be sold to an investor. Under a “best efforts” sales agreement, 
the Company enters into a sales agreement with an investor in the secondary market to sell the loan when an interest rate lock 
commitment  is  entered  into  with  a  customer,  as  described  above.  Under  a  “best  efforts”  sales  agreement,  the  Company  is 
obligated to sell the mortgage loan to the investor only if the loan is closed and funded. Thus, the Company will not incur any 
liability  to  an  investor  if  the  mortgage  loan  commitment  in  the  pipeline  fails  to  close.  Under  a  “mandatory  delivery”  sales 
agreement, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price and 
delivery date. Penalties are paid to the investor should the Company fail to satisfy the contract. These types of mortgage loan 
commitments are recorded at fair value in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses arising from changes 
in  the  valuation  of  these  commitments  are  recognized  currently  in  earnings  and  are  reflected  under  the  line  item  “Mortgage 
banking income” on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Treasury Stock: Treasury stock is recorded at cost. Shares held in treasury are not retired.

Retirement  Plans:    The  Company  sponsors  a  noncontributory  pension  plan  and  provides  retiree  medical  benefits  for  certain 
employees. The Company’s independent actuary firm prepares actuarial valuations of pension cost and obligation under ASC 
715,  “Compensation  –  Retirement  Benefits”  (“ASC  715”),  using  assumptions  and  estimates  derived  in  accordance  with  the 
guidance set forth in ASC 715.  Expense related to the plans is included under the line item “Salaries and employee benefits” on 
the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income.    Actuarial  gains  and  losses  are  recognized  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive 
income, net of tax, until they are amortized as a component of plan expense.  See Note 13, “Employee Benefit and Deferred 
Compensation Plans,” for further details regarding the Company’s retirement plans.

Stock-Based  Compensation:  The  Company  recognizes  compensation  expense  for  all  share-based  payments  to  employees  in 
accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Compensation expense for option grants and 
restricted  stock  awards  is  determined  based  on  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  stock  options  and  restricted  stock  on  the 
applicable  grant  or  award  date  and  is  recognized  over  the  respective  awards’  vesting  period.  The  Company  has  elected  to 
account for forfeitures in compensation cost when they occur as permitted under the guidance in ASC 718.  Expense associated 
with  the  Company’s  stock-based  compensation  is  included  under  the  line  item  “Salaries  and  employee  benefits”  on  the 
Consolidated  Statements  of  Income.  See  Note  13,  “Employee  Benefit  and  Deferred  Compensation  Plans,”  for  further  details 
regarding the Company’s stock-based compensation.

Earnings  Per  Common  Share:  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  reflects  the  pro  forma 
dilution of shares outstanding, assuming outstanding stock options were exercised into common shares and nonvested restricted 
stock  awards,  whose  vesting  is  subject  to  future  service  requirements,  were  outstanding  common  shares  as  of  the  awards’ 
respective grant dates, calculated in accordance with the treasury method.  See Note 18, “Net Income Per Common Share,” for 
the reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations.

Subsequent  Events:  The  Company  has  evaluated,  for  consideration  of  recognition  or  disclosure,  subsequent  events  that  have 
occurred through the date of issuance of its financial statements, and has determined that no significant events occurred after 
December 31, 2021 but prior to the issuance of these financial statements that would have a material impact on its Consolidated 
Financial Statements.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements:

In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 842): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate 
Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides temporary, optional guidance to ease the potential burden 
of accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting.  ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for 
applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions if certain criteria are met that reference LIBOR or 
another reference rate expected to be discontinued.  As the guidance is intended to assist stakeholders during the global market-
wide  reference  rate  transition  period,  it  is  in  effect  only  from  March  12,  2020  through  December  31,  2022.    The  Company 
transitioned  new  production  from  LIBOR  instruments  to  a  set  of  alternative  indices  at  December  31,  2021.  The  Company’s 
LIBOR  Transition  Committee  is  currently  developing  a  plan  to  transition  legacy  positions  with  the  intent  to  minimize  the 
impact to the Bank and its customers.

Note 2 – Securities (continued)

Renasant Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company does not intend to sell any of the securities in an unrealized loss position, and it is not more likely than not that 
the Company will be required to sell any such security prior to the recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity. 
Furthermore, even though a number of these securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for a period greater 
than twelve months, the Company is collecting principal and interest payments from the respective issuers as scheduled. Based 
upon  its  review  of  securities  with  unrealized  losses  as  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  determined  that  all  such  losses 
resulted  from  factors  not  deemed  credit  related.  As  such,  the  Company  did  not  record  any  impairment  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2021 and 2020.

At December 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses on held to maturity securities was $32. There was no allowance for credit 
losses for debt securities at December 31, 2020. The Company monitors the credit quality of debt securities held to maturity 
using bond investment grades assigned by third party ratings agencies. Updated investment grades are obtained as they become 
available from the agencies. On December 31, 2021, 99.9% of the amortized cost of debt securities held to maturity were rated 
A or higher by the ratings agencies.

The allocated allowance for credit losses attributable to restructured loans was $285 and $337 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 
respectively. The Company had $305 remaining availability under commitments to lend additional funds on these restructured 
loans at December 31, 2021 and no remaining availability at December 31, 2020.

In  response  to  the  economic  environment  caused  by  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  the  Company  implemented  a  loan  deferral 
program  in  the  first  quarter  of  2020  to  provide  temporary  payment  relief  to  both  consumer  and  commercial  customers.  Any 
customer  current  on  loan  payments,  taxes  and  insurance  qualified  for  an  initial  90-day  deferral  of  principal  and  interest 
payments.  A second 90-day deferral was available to borrowers that remained current on taxes and insurance through the first 
deferral period and also satisfied underwriting standards established by the Company that analyzed the ability of the borrower 
to service its loan in accordance with its existing terms in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the borrower, its 
industry and the markets in which it operated. The Company’s loan deferral program complied with the guidance set forth in 
the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act and related guidance from the FDIC and other banking 
regulators.  As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  has  discontinued  its  deferral  program  but  had  seven  loans  with  total 
balances of approximately $443 remaining on deferral. In accordance with the applicable guidance, none of these loans were 
considered “restructured loans.”

Credit Quality

For  commercial  and  commercial  real  estate-secured  loans,  internal  risk-rating  grades  are  assigned  by  lending,  credit 
administration or loan review personnel, based on an analysis of the financial and collateral strength and other credit attributes 
underlying  each  loan.  Management  analyzes  the  resulting  ratings,  as  well  as  other  external  statistics  and  factors  such  as 
delinquency,  to  track  the  migration  performance  of  the  portfolio  balances  of  commercial  and  commercial  real  estate  secured 
loans. Loan grades range between 1 and 9, with 1 being loans with the least credit risk. Loans within the “Pass” grade (those 
with a risk rating between 1 and 4C) generally have a lower risk of loss and therefore a lower risk factor applied to the loan 
balances.  The  “Special  Mention”  grade  (those  with  a  risk  rating  of  4E)  represents  a  loan  where  a  significant  adverse  risk-
modifying action is anticipated in the near term and, left uncorrected, could result in deterioration of the credit quality of the 
loan. Loans that migrate toward the “Substandard” grade (those with a risk rating between 5 and 9) generally have a higher risk 
of loss and therefore a higher risk factor applied to those related loan balances.  

The following tables present the Company’s loan portfolio by year of origination and internal risk-rating grades as of the dates 
presented:

The allocated allowance for credit losses attributable to restructured loans was $104 and $612 at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 
respectively.  The  Company  had  $2  and  $370  in  remaining  availability  under  commitments  to  lend  additional  funds  on  these 
restructured loans at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

As  discussed  in  Note  3,  “Non  Purchased  Loans,”  the  Company  implemented  a  loan  deferral  program  in  response  to  the 
COVID-19  pandemic.  As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  had  two  loans  with  total  balances  of  approximately  $76 
remaining on deferral. Under the applicable guidance, none of these loans were considered “restructured loans.”

A discussion of the Company’s policies regarding internal risk-rating of loans is discussed above in Note 3, “Non Purchased 
Loans.” The following tables present the Company’s loan portfolio by year of origination and internal risk-rating grades as of

The Company’s allowance for credit loss model considers economic projections, primarily the national unemployment rate and 
GDP, over a reasonable and supportable period of two years. Based on the continual improvements in these forecasts over the 
last year, nominal loan growth excluding PPP loans and stable credit metrics, the Company’s allowance model indicated that a 
release of the allowance for credit losses was appropriate during 2021.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) represent funds received from customers, generally 
on  an  overnight  or  continuous  basis,  which  are  collateralized  by  investment  securities  owned  or,  at  times,  borrowed  and  re-
hypothecated by the Company.  The securities used as collateral consist primarily of U.S. Government agency mortgage backed 
securities,  U.S.  Government  agency  collateralized  mortgage  obligations,  obligations  of  U.S.  Government  agencies,  and 
obligations  of  states  and  political  subdivisions.    All  securities  are  maintained  by  the  Company’s  safekeeping  agents.  These 
securities are reviewed by the Company on a daily basis, and the Company may be required to provide additional collateral due 
to changes in the fair market value of these securities. The terms of the Company’s repurchase agreements are continuous but 
may be canceled at any time by the Company or the customer. 

Federal funds are short term borrowings, generally overnight borrowings, between financial institutions that are generally used 
to maintain reserve requirements at the Federal Reserve Bank or elsewhere.

FHLB short-term advances, of which there were none at December 31, 2021 and 2020, are borrowings with original maturities 
of less than one year. In connection with the prepayment of $430,000 in short-term advances from the FHLB during 2020, the 
Company incurred penalty charges of $121 which is included in the line item “Debt prepayment penalty” in the Consolidated 
Statements of Income. The Company did not prepay any outstanding short-term advances from the FHLB in 2021 and 2019.

the FHLB of $4,214,274 at December 31, 2021.

In  connection  with  the  prepayment  of  $150,000  and  $2,094  in  long-term  advances  from  the  FHLB  during  2021  and  2019,

prepayment  penalty”  in  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income.  The  Company  did  not  prepay  any  outstanding  long-term 
advances from the FHLB during 2020.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The  Company  owns  the  outstanding  common  securities  of  business  trusts  that  issued  corporation-obligated  mandatorily 
redeemable preferred capital securities to third-party investors. The trusts used the proceeds from the issuance of their preferred 
capital securities and common securities (collectively referred to as “capital securities”) to buy floating rate junior subordinated 
debentures issued by the Company (or by companies that the Company subsequently acquired). 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 which interest rate reprices quarterly. The capital securities are subject to mandatory redemption, 
in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures. All of the debentures are currently redeemable at par. The Company has 
entered into an agreement which fully and unconditionally guarantees the capital securities of each trust subject to the terms of 
the guarantee.

In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  Capital  Bancorp,  Inc.  in  2007,  the  Company  assumed  the  debentures  issued  to  Capital 
Bancorp Capital Trust I. The discount associated with the Company’s assumption of the debentures issued to Capital Bancorp 
Capital Trust I was fully amortized during 2010. The interest rate for Capital Bancorp Capital Trust I reprices quarterly equal to 
the  three-month  LIBOR  plus  150  basis  points.  In  March  2012,  the  Company  entered  into  an  interest  rate  swap  agreement 
effective March 31, 2014, whereby the Company receives a variable rate of interest based on the three-month LIBOR plus a 
spread of 1.50% and pays a fixed rate of interest of 4.42%.

In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  First  M&F  Corporation  in  2013,  the  Company  assumed  the  debentures  issued  to  First 
M&F  Statutory  Trust  I.  The  discount  associated  with  the  Company’s  assumption  of  the  debentures  issued  to  First  M&F 
Statutory Trust I had a carrying value of $7,806 at December 31, 2021 and $8,354 at December 31, 2020.  The discount is being 
amortized through March 2036. The interest rate for First M&F Statutory Trust I reprices quarterly equal to the three-month 
LIBOR plus a spread of 133 basis points. In April 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement effective 
June 15, 2018, whereby the Company pays a fixed rate of 4.180% and receives a variable rate of three-month LIBOR plus a 
spread of 133 basis points on a quarterly basis and will mature in June 2028.

In  connection  with  the  acquisition  of  Brand  Group  Holdings,  Inc.  ("Brand")  in  2018,  the  Company  assumed  the  debentures 
issued to Brand Group Holdings Statutory Trust I, Brand Group Holdings Statutory Trust II, Brand Group Holdings Statutory 
Trust  III  and  Brand  Group  Holdings  Statutory  Trust  IV.  The  discount  associated  with  the  Company’s  assumption  of  the 
debentures issued to the respective Brand trusts had a carrying value of $412 at December 31, 2021 and $443 at December 31, 
2020 and is being amortized through September 2038. The interest rate for each trust acquired from Brand reprices quarterly 
equal to the three-month LIBOR at the determination date plus 205 basis points for Brand Group Holdings Statutory Trust I, 
plus 300 basis points for Brand Group Holdings Statutory Trust II and III, and plus 375 basis points for Brand Group Holdings 
Statutory Trust IV.

The Company has classified $107,782 of the debentures described in the above paragraphs as Tier 1 capital. Federal Reserve 
guidelines limit the amount of securities that, similar to our junior subordinated debentures, are includable in Tier 1 capital, but 
these guidelines did not impact the amount of debentures we include in Tier 1 capital. Although the Company’s existing junior 
subordinated debentures are currently unaffected by these Federal Reserve guidelines, on account of changes enacted as part of 
the  Dodd-Frank  Act,  any  new  trust  preferred  securities  are  not  includable  in  Tier  1  capital.  Further,  if  as  a  result  of  an 
acquisition of a financial institution the Company exceeds $15,000,000 in assets, or if the Company makes any such acquisition 
after exceeding $15,000,000 in assets, the Company will lose Tier 1 treatment of our junior subordinated debentures.

On August 22, 2016, the Company issued and sold in an underwritten public offering $60,000 aggregate principal amount of its 
5.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $40,000 aggregate principal amount of its 
5.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 (the “5.50% 2031 Notes”), at a public offering price equal to 100% 
of the aggregate principal amounts of the notes.  On September 3, 2020, the Company issued and sold in an underwritten public 
offering  $100,000  aggregate  principal  amount  of  its  4.50%  Fixed-to-Floating  Rate  Subordinated  Notes  due  2035  (the  “2035 
Notes”), at a public offering price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amounts of the notes. On November 23, 2021, the 
Company  issued  and  sold  in  an  underwritten  public  offering  $200,000  in  aggregate  principal  amount  of  its  3.00%  Fixed-to-
Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 (the “3.00% 2031 Notes”), at a public offering price equal to 100% of the aggregate 
principal amounts of the notes. The 2026 Notes, the 5.50% 2031 Notes, the 2035 Notes and the 3.00% 2031 Notes are referred 
to collectively as the “Notes”.

The 2026 Notes, 5.50% 2031 Notes, 2035 Notes and 3.00% 2031 Notes mature on  September 1, 2026, September 1, 2031, 
September 15, 2035, and December 1, 2031, respectively. Until but excluding September 1, 2021 and 2026, respectively, the 
Company paid interest as to the 2026 Notes, and pays interest as to the 5.50% Notes, semi-annually in arrears on each March 1 
and September 1 at a fixed annual interest rate equal to 5.00% and 5.50%, respectively. From and including September 1, 2021 
and 2026, respectively, to but excluding the maturity date or the date of earlier redemption, the interest rate on the 2026 Notes 
and the 5.50% 2031 Notes will reset quarterly to an annual interest rate equal to the then-current three-month LIBOR rate plus a 
spread of 384 basis points and 407.1 basis points, respectively, payable quarterly in arrears on each March 1, June 1, September 
1 and December 1. Until but excluding September 15, 2030, the Company pays interest on the 2035 Notes semi-annually in 
arrears on each March 15 and September 15 at a fixed annual interest rate equal to 4.50%. From and including September 15, 
2030, to but excluding the maturity date or the date of earlier redemption, the interest rate on the 2035 Notes will reset quarterly 
to  an  annual  interest  rate  equal  to  the  then-current  three-month  Secured  Overnight  Finance  Rate  ("SOFR")  plus  a  spread  of 
402.5 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on each March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15. Until but excluding 
December 1, 2026, the Company pays interest on the 3.00% 2031 Notes semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 
1 at a fixed annual interest rate equal to 3.00%. From and including December 1, 2026, to but excluding the maturity date or the 
date of earlier redemption, the interest rate on the 3.00% 2031 Notes will reset quarterly to an annual interest rate equal to the 
then-current benchmark rate (expected to be three-month SOFR plus a spread of 191 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears 
on each March 1, June 1, September 1, and December 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for all of the Notes, in the event that 
three-month LIBOR or three-month SOFR is less than zero, three-month LIBOR or three-month SOFR, as applicable, shall be 
deemed to be zero. Beginning with the interest payment date of  September 1, 2021 as to the 2026 Notes, September 1, 2026 as 
to the 5.50% 2031 Notes, September 15, 2030 as to the 2035 Notes, and December 1, 2026 as to the 3.00% 2031 Notes, and on 
any interest payment date thereafter, the Company may redeem the applicable Notes in whole or in part at a redemption price 
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the respective Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding 
the date of redemption.

The  Company  may  also  redeem  any  series  of  the  Notes  at  any  time,  at  the  Company’s  option,  in  whole  or  in  part,  if:  (i)  a 
change or prospective change in law occurs that could prevent the Company from deducting interest payable on the Notes for 
U.S. federal income tax purposes; (ii) a subsequent event occurs that could preclude the Notes from being recognized as Tier 2 
capital  for  regulatory  capital  purposes;  or  (iii)  the  Company  is  required  to  register  as  an  investment  company  under  the 
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In each case, the redemption price is 100% of the principal amount of the Notes 
being  redeemed  plus  any  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  to  but  excluding  the  redemption  date.  There  is  no  sinking  fund  for  the 
benefit of the Notes, and none of the Notes are convertible or exchangeable.

During October 2021, the Company redeemed, at par, the $15,000 6.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes acquired 
as part of the Metropolitan BancGroup, Inc. acquisition in 2017 and in December 2021 the Company redeemed, at par, $30,000 
of the 2026 Notes. During 2019, the Company redeemed the $30,000 of 8.50% Fixed Rate Subordinated Notes assumed in the 
Brand acquisition and incurred a debt prepayment penalty of $900, which was accounted for in the purchase accounting fair 
value adjustment.

Note 13 – Employee Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plans

(In Thousands, Except Share Data)

Pension and Post-retirement Medical Plans

The Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan, under which participation and benefit accruals ceased 
as  of  December  31,  1996.  The  Company’s  funding  policy  is  to  contribute  annually  to  the  plan  an  amount  not  less  than  the 
minimum required contribution, as determined annually by consulting actuaries in accordance with funding standards imposed 
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. No contributions were made or required in 2021 or 2020.  The Company 
does not anticipate that a contribution will be required in 2022. The plan’s accumulated benefit obligation and projected benefit 
obligation are substantially the same since benefit accruals have ceased. The accumulated benefit obligation was $27,567 and 
$28,226  at  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  There  is  no  additional  minimum  pension  liability  required  to  be 
recognized.

The Company provides retiree medical benefits, consisting of the opportunity to purchase coverage at subsidized rates under the 
Company’s group medical plan. Employees eligible to participate must (i) have been employed by the Company and enrolled in 
the Company’s group medical plan as of December 31, 2004 and (ii) retire from the Company between ages 55 and 65 with at 
least 15 years of service or 70 points (points determined as the sum of the employee’s age and years of service). The Company 
periodically  determines  the  portion  of  the  premiums  to  be  paid  by  each  retiree  and  the  portion  to  be  paid  by  the  Company. 
Coverage ceases when a retiree attains age 65 and is eligible for Medicare. The Company contributed $231 and $214 to the plan 
in 2021 and 2020, respectively; the Company expects to contribute approximately $176 in 2022. 

The Company accounts for its obligations related to retiree benefits in accordance with ASC 715, “Compensation – Retirement 
Benefits.” The assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits (i.e., the health care cost trend rate) for 2021 is 
5%. 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  or  the  service  and  interest  cost  components  of  net 
periodic post-retirement benefit costs as of December 31, 2021 and for the year then ended.

In 2020, the Company offered a voluntary early retirement program (referred to as the “VERP”) to eligible employees. Among 
other items, participants in the VERP received accelerated payouts from the Company’s defined benefit pension plan, retiree 
medical benefits on terms substantially identical to those applicable to other retirees, and other cash payments. Cash payments 
are a noninterest expense and are included in the “Restructuring charges” line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income. 
Amounts  attributable  to  accelerated  payouts  from  the  defined  benefit  pension  plan  and  post-retirement  health  benefits  for 
participants in the VERP are included in the following tables. 

The following table presents information relating to the defined benefit pension plan maintained by Renasant Bank (“Pension 
Benefits - Renasant”) and the post-retirement health and life plan (“Other Benefits”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

The  discount  rate  assumptions  at  December  31,  2021  were  determined  using  a  yield  curve  approach.    A  yield  curve  was 
developed from a selection of high quality fixed-income investments whose cash flows approximate the timing and amount of 
expected cash flows from the plans.  The selected discount rate is the rate that produces the same present value of the plans’ 
projected benefit payments.

Substantially all of the assets of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan are invested in a collective trust, which in turn 
invests  in  other  collective  or  pooled  trusts  with  individual  investment  mandates.  The  collective  trust’s  asset  allocation  is 
approximately  77%  in  growth  assets,  consisting  of  interests  in  trusts  invested  in  equity  securities,  high  yield  fixed  income 
securities, and direct real estate investments (approximately 6% of assets), and approximately 23% in assets intended to hedge 
against  the  volatility  arising  from  interest  rate  risk,  consisting  of  interests  in  trusts  invested  in  long  duration  fixed  income 
securities.  The collective trust is actively managed allowing changes in the asset allocation to enhance returns and mitigate risk, 
with the mandate to preserve the funded status of the plan through portfolio growth and interest rate hedging. Management’s 
investment  committee  periodically  reviews  the  collective  trust’s  performance  and  asset  allocation  to  ensure  that  the  plan’s 
investment objectives are satisfied and that the investment strategy of the trust has not materially changed.

The  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  was  estimated  using  market  benchmarks  for  investment  classes  applied  to  the  plan’s 
target  asset  allocation  and  was  computed  using  a  valuation  methodology  which  projects  future  returns  based  on  current 
valuations rather than historical returns.   

The fair values of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets by category at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are below. 
Investments  in  collective  trusts,  which  are  measured  at  net  asset  value  per  share  (or  “NAV”),  consist  of  trusts  that  invest 
primarily in liquid equity and fixed income securities and have a small direct investment in real estate.  There is generally no 
restriction on redemptions or withdrawals for benefit payments or in the event of plan termination; 60 days notice is required to 
redeem or withdraw assets for any other purpose.

Other Retirement Plans

The  Company  maintains  a  401(k)  plan,  which  is  a  contributory  plan  maintained  in  the  form  of  a  “safe  harbor”  arrangement. 
Employees are immediately enrolled in the plan and eligible to make pre-tax deferrals, subject to limits imposed under the plan 
and  the  deferral  limit  established  annually  by  the  IRS,  and  receive  Company  matching  contributions  not  in  excess  of  4%  of 
compensation.  The Company may make a discretionary profit-sharing contribution for each eligible participant in an amount 
up to 5% of plan compensation and 5% of plan compensation in excess of the Social Security wage base (prior to 2020, the 
profit-sharing contribution was non-discretionary). To be eligible to receive this profit-sharing contribution, an employee must: 
(i)  be  employed  on  the  last  day  of  the  year  and  be  credited  with  1000  hours  of  service  during  the  year;  (ii)  die  or  become 
disabled  during  the  year;  or  (iii)  have  attained  the  early  or  normal  retirement  age  (as  defined  in  the  plan).  For  2021,  senior 
executive officers of the Bank are not eligible to receive these discretionary contributions. The Company’s costs related to the 
401(k) plan, excluding employee deferrals, in 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $11,919, $17,888 and $16,009, respectively.  

Deferred Compensation Plans and Arrangements 

The  Company  maintains  two  deferred  compensation  plans:  a  Deferred  Stock  Unit  Plan  and  a  Deferred  Income  Plan.  
Nonemployee directors may defer all or a portion of their fees and retainer; eligible officers may defer base salary and bonus 
subject to limits determined annually by the Company. Amounts deferred to the Deferred Stock Unit Plan are invested in units 
representing shares of the Company’s common stock; benefits are paid in the form of common stock, with cash distributed in 
lieu  of  fractional  shares.  Amounts  deferred  to  the  Deferred  Income  Plan  are  notionally  invested  in  the  discretion  of  each 
participant  from  among  investment  alternatives  substantially  similar  to  those  available  under  the  Company’s  401(k)  plan. 
Directors  and  officers  who  participated  in  the  predecessor  to  the  Deferred  Income  Plan  as  of  December  31,  2006,  may  also 
invest  in  a  preferential  interest  rate  alternative  that  is  derived  from  the  Moody’s  Average  Corporate  Bond  Rate.    Benefits 
payable from the Deferred Income Plan equal the account balance of each participant.  Beneficiaries of directors and officers 
who have continuously deferred at rates prescribed by the Company since January 1, 2005, and who die while employed by the 
Company or serving as a director may receive an additional preretirement death benefit from the Deferred Income Plan.

In connection with the Brand acquisition, the Company assumed the Brand Group Holdings, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan. 
Deferral  elections  in  effect  as  of  the  time  of  acquisition  were  given  effect  for  compensation  earned  during  2018;  no  further 
deferrals have been or will be made to the plan.  Account balances maintained under the plan will be distributed as provided 
under the terms of the plan and individual participant elections. Pending distribution, balances will be notionally invested by 
each participant in designated investment alternatives. 

The Company’s Deferred Stock Unit and Deferred Income Plan are unfunded. It is anticipated that such plans will result in no 
additional  cost  to  the  Company  because  life  insurance  policies  on  the  lives  of  participants  have  been  purchased  in  amounts 
estimated to be sufficient to pay plan benefits. The Company is both the owner and beneficiary of the policies.  The expense 
recorded in 2021, 2020 and 2019 for the Company’s Deferred Stock Unit and Deferred Income Plan, including in 2019 expense 
for  the  plan  assumed  in  connection  with  the  Brand  acquisition,  inclusive  of  deferrals,  was  $3,274,  $3,965  and  $3,610, 
respectively. 

In 2007, the Company assumed supplemental executive retirement plans (SERPs) in connection with the acquisition of Capital 
Bancorp, Inc. and its affiliates. The plans are designed to provide four officers specified annual benefits for a 15-year period 
upon  the  attainment  of  a  designated  retirement  age.  Liabilities  associated  with  the  SERPs  totaled  $3,679  and  $3,816  at 
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The plans are not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Note 13 – Employee Benefit and Deferred Compensation Plans (continued)

Incentive Compensation Plans

Under  the  Company’s  Performance  Based  Rewards  Plan,  annual  cash  bonuses  are  paid  to  eligible  officers  and  employees, 
subject to the attainment of designated performance criteria that may relate to the Company’s performance, the performance of 
an affiliate, region, division or profit center, and/or to individual or team performance. The Company annually sets minimum, 
target,  and  superior  levels  of  performance.    Minimum  performance  must  be  attained  for  the  payment  of  any  bonus;  superior 
performance  must  be  attained  for  maximum  payouts.  The  expense  associated  with  the  plan  for  2021,  2020  and  2019  was 
$8,609, $6,425 and $4,200, respectively. 

In 2020, the Company implemented a long-term equity compensation plan that provides for the grant of stock options and stock 
appreciation rights and the award of restricted stock and restricted stock units (which replaced the Company’s previous long-
term equity incentive compensation plan, under which restricted stock awards remain outstanding).  

Options granted under the plan permit the acquisition of shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to 
the  fair  market  value  of  the  shares  on  the  date  of  grant.    Options  may  be  subject  to  time-based  vesting  or  the  attainment  of 
performance  criteria;  all  options  expire  ten  years  after  the  date  of  grant.  Options  that  do  not  vest  or  expire  unexercised  are 
forfeited  and  canceled.  Stock  appreciation  rights  may  be  granted  under  the  plan  on  terms  similar  to  options.  There  were  no 
stock  options  or  stock  appreciation  rights  granted  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2021,  2020  or  2019.    There  was  no 
compensation expense (recognized or unrecognized) associated with options for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 or 
2019.  

The  following  table  summarizes  information  about  options  outstanding,  exercised  and  forfeited  as  of  and  for  the  three  years

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $262, $279 
and $290, respectively. All options outstanding during 2021, 2020 and 2019 were fully vested and exercisable as of December 
31, 2017.

The plan permits the award of performance-based restricted stock to officers and employees and time-based restricted stock to 
non-employee  directors,  officers  and  employees.  The  plan  also  permits  the  award  of  restricted  stock  units  to  officers  and 
employees on terms similar to restricted stock awards. Performance-based awards are subject to the attainment of designated 
performance  criteria  during  a  fixed  performance  cycle.    Performance  criteria  may  relate  to  the  Company’s  performance 
measured on an absolute basis or relative to a defined peer group.  Performance criteria may also relate to the performance of an

affiliate, region, division or profit center of the Company or to individual performance.  The Company annually sets minimum, 
target, and superior levels; minimum performance must be attained for the vesting of any shares; superior performance must be 
attained for maximum payouts. Time-based restricted stock awards relate to a fixed number of shares that vest at the end of a 
designated service period. 

In  2021,  the  Company  made  performance-based  and  time-based  restricted  stock  awards;  restricted  stock  units  were  not 
awarded. The fair value of each restricted stock award is the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the business day 
immediately preceding the date of the award. For restricted stock awarded under the plan, the Company recorded compensation 
expense of $9,882, $10,419 and $10,046 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following

Note 14 – Derivative Instruments

(In Thousands)

The  Company  uses  certain  derivative  instruments  to  meet  the  needs  of  customers  as  well  as  to  manage  the  interest  rate  risk 
associated with certain transactions.

Non-hedge derivatives

The  Company  enters  into  derivative  instruments  that  are  not  designated  as  hedging  instruments  to  help  its  commercial 
customers manage their exposure to interest rate fluctuations. To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with these customer 
contracts, the Company enters into an offsetting derivative contract position. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential 
risk of default by its commercial customers, through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures. 

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments with its customers to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with the 
commitments  to  fund  fixed-rate  residential  mortgage  loans.  The  Company  also  enters  into  forward  commitments  to  sell 
residential mortgage loans to secondary market investors.

Cash  flow  hedge  relationships  mitigate  exposure  to  the  variability  of  future  cash  flow  or  other  forecasted  transactions.    The 
Company  uses  interest  rate  swap  contracts  in  an  effort  to  manage  future  interest  rate  exposure  on  borrowings.    The  hedging 
strategy  converts  the  LIBOR-based  variable  interest  rate  on  the  forecasted  borrowings  to  a  fixed  interest  rate.    As  of 
December 31, 2021, the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash flows through 2030 and a portion of 
these hedges are forward starting.

In  October  2021,  the  Company  terminated  four  interest  rate  swap  contracts  with  notional  amounts  of  $25,000  each.  These 
swaps hedged forecasted future FHLB borrowings which were no longer expected to occur. As a result of the termination the 
Company recognized a gain of $4,676 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In  December  2020,  the  Company  terminated  two  interest  rate  swap  contracts  with  notional  amounts  of  $15,000  each  with 
ending  dates  of  June  2022  and  June  2023,  respectively.    The  Company  recorded  $2,040  in  swap  termination  charges  for  the 
year ended December 31, 2020.

Derivatives designated as fair value hedges

Fair value hedges protect against changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment.  The Company enters into 
interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure on certain of the Company’s fixed-rate subordinated notes.  The 
agreements convert the fixed interest rates to LIBOR-based variable interest rates.

Offsetting

Certain financial instruments, including derivatives, may be eligible for offset in the consolidated balance sheet when the “right 
of setoff” exists or when the instruments are subject to an enforceable master netting agreement, which includes the right of the 
non-defaulting party or non-affected party to offset recognized amounts, including collateral posted with the counterparty, to 
determine  a  net  receivable  or  net  payable  upon  early  termination  of  the  agreement.    Certain  of  the  Company’s  derivative 
instruments are subject to master netting agreements; however, the Company has not elected to offset such financial instruments 
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The following table presents the Company’s gross derivative positions as recognized in the 
Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as the net derivative positions, including collateral pledged to the extent the application of 
such  collateral  did  not  reduce  the  net  derivative  liability  position  below  zero,  had  the  Company  elected  to  offset  those

Note 15 – Income Taxes (continued)

The  Company  acquired  federal  and  state  net  operating  losses  as  part  of  its  previous  acquisitions,  with  varying  expiration 
periods. The federal and state net operating losses acquired in the Brand acquisition were $81,288 and $55,067, respectively, all 
created in 2018. As part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and corresponding state tax laws, the federal net operating losses 
and the majority of the state net operating losses created by Brand during 2018 have an indefinite carryforward period.  The 
federal net operating loss related to the Brand acquisition was fully utilized during 2021, while at December 31, 2021, there 
were state net operating losses without expiration periods of $15,712. The federal and state net operating losses acquired in the 
Heritage Financial Group, Inc. acquisition were $18,321 and $16,849, respectively, of which $2,065 and $1,242 remain to be 
utilized  as  of  December  31,  2021.  These  losses  begin  to  expire  in  2029  and  are  expected  to  be  fully  utilized.  Because  the 
benefits are expected to be fully realized, the Company recorded no valuation allowance against the net operating losses for the 
year ended December 31, 2021.

Note 16 – Fair Value Measurements

(In Thousands)

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with applicable standards. The 
Company’s recurring fair value measurements are based on the requirement to carry such assets and liabilities at fair value or 
the Company’s election to carry certain eligible assets and liabilities at fair value. Assets and liabilities that are required to be 
carried at fair value include securities available for sale and derivative instruments. The Company has elected to carry mortgage 
loans held for sale at fair value on a recurring basis as permitted under the guidance in ASC 825.

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial assets 
and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis:

Securities  available  for  sale:  Securities  available  for  sale  consist  primarily  of  debt  securities,  such  as  obligations  of  U.S. 
Government  agencies  and  corporations  and  mortgage  backed  securities.  Where  quoted  market  prices  in  active  markets  are 
available,  securities  are  classified  within  Level  1  of  the  fair  value  hierarchy.  If  quoted  prices  from  active  markets  are  not 
available, fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices 
for  identical  or  similar  instruments  traded  in  markets  that  are  not  active,  or  model-based  valuation  techniques  where  all 
significant assumptions are observable in the market. Such instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 
When  assumptions  used  in  model-based  valuation  techniques  are  not  observable  in  the  market,  the  assumptions  used  by 

130

Note 16 – Fair Value Measurements (continued)

management reflect estimates of assumptions used by other market participants in determining fair value. When there is limited 
transparency around the inputs to the valuation, the instruments are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative  instruments:  Most  of  the  Company’s  derivative  contracts  are  actively  traded  in  over-the-counter  markets  and  are 
valued using discounted cash flow models which incorporate observable market based inputs including current market interest 
rates, credit spreads, and other factors. Such instruments are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and include 
interest rate swaps and other interest rate contracts including interest rate caps and/or floors. The Company’s interest rate lock 
commitments  are  valued  using  current  market  prices  for  mortgage  backed  securities  with  similar  characteristics,  adjusted  for 
certain factors including servicing and risk. The value of the Company’s forward commitments is based on current prices for 
securities backed by similar types of loans. Because these assumptions are observable in active markets, the Company’s interest 
rate lock commitments and forward commitments are categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage  loans  held  for  sale  in  loans  held  for  sale:  Mortgage  loans  held  for  sale  are  primarily  agency  loans  which  trade  in 
active secondary markets. The fair value of these instruments is derived from current market pricing for similar loans, adjusted 
for differences in loan characteristics, including servicing and risk. Because the valuation is based on external pricing of similar 
instruments, mortgage loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically are a 
result of the application of the lower of cost or market accounting or a write-down occurring during the period. The following

The following methods and assumptions are used by the Company to estimate the fair values of the Company’s assets measured 
on a nonrecurring basis:

Individually evaluated loans: Loans are individually evaluated for credit losses each quarter taking into account the fair value of 
the  collateral  less  estimated  selling  costs.  Collateral  may  be  real  estate  and/or  business  assets  including  but  not  limited  to 
equipment,  inventory  and  accounts  receivable.  The  fair  value  of  real  estate  is  determined  based  on  appraisals  by  qualified 
licensed  appraisers.  The  fair  value  of  the  business  assets  is  generally  based  on  amounts  reported  on  the  business’s  financial

statements. Appraised and reported values may be adjusted based on changes in market conditions from the time of valuation 
and  management’s  knowledge  of  the  client  and  the  client’s  business.  Since  not  all  valuation  inputs  are  observable,  these 
nonrecurring fair value determinations are classified as Level 3. Individually evaluated loans are reviewed and evaluated on at 
least  a  quarterly  basis  for  additional  impairment  and  adjusted  accordingly,  based  on  the  same  factors  previously  identified. 
Individually evaluated loans that were measured or re-measured at fair value had a carrying value of $12,939 and $36,990 at 
December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and a reserve for these loans of $5,011 and $12,845 was included in 
the allowance for credit losses for the same periods.

Other real estate owned: OREO is comprised of commercial and residential real estate obtained in partial or total satisfaction of 
loan obligations. OREO acquired in settlement of indebtedness is recorded at the fair value of the real estate less estimated costs 
to sell. Subsequently, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments for declines in fair value. Fair value, 
when recorded, is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers and adjusted for management’s estimates of 
costs to sell. Accordingly, values for OREO are classified as Level 3. 

The following table presents, as of the dates presented, OREO measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that was still held 
in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at period-end:

Mortgage  servicing  rights:  The  Company  retains  the  right  to  service  certain  mortgage  loans  that  it  sells  to  secondary  market 
investors.  Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.  Fair value is determined using an 
income approach with various assumptions including expected cash flows, market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing 
costs,  and  other  factors.  Because  these  factors  are  not  all  observable  and  include  management's  assumptions,  mortgage 
servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Mortgage servicing rights were carried at amortized 
cost  at  December  31,  2021  and  December  31,  2020.    See  Note  9,  “Mortgage  Servicing  Rights,”  for  information  about  the 
valuation adjustments to the Company's mortgage servicing rights.

The Company elected to measure all mortgage loans originated for sale on or after July 1, 2012 at fair value under the fair value 
option as permitted under ASC 825. Electing to measure these assets at fair value reduces certain timing differences and better 
matches  the  changes  in  fair  value  of  the  loans  with  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  derivative  instruments  used  to  economically 
hedge them.

Net  losses  of  $10,354  resulting  from  fair  value  changes  of  these  mortgage  loans  were  recorded  in  income  during  2021,  as 
compared  to  net  gains  of  $12,057  in  2020  and  $1,286  in  2019.  The  amounts  do  not  reflect  changes  in  fair  values  of  related 
derivative instruments used to hedge exposure to market-related risks associated with these mortgage loans. The change in fair 
value of both mortgage loans held for sale and the related derivative instruments are recorded in “Mortgage banking income” in 
the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company’s valuation of mortgage loans held for sale incorporates an assumption for credit risk; however, given the short-
term period that the Company holds these loans, valuation adjustments attributable to instrument-specific credit risk is nominal. 
Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale measured at fair value is accrued as it is earned based on contractual rates and is 
reflected in loan interest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

sale measured at fair value as of December 31, 2021:

Note 19 – Commitments, Contingent Liabilities and Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

(In Thousands)

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, 2021 were $3,104,940 and $89,830, respectively, compared to $2,749,988 
and $90,597, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

Various  claims  and  lawsuits  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 20 – Restrictions on Cash, Securities, Bank Dividends, Loans or Advances

(In Thousands)

In  prior  years  Renasant  Bank  has  been  required  to  maintain  minimum  average  balances  with  the  Federal  Reserve.  In  March 
2020,  the  Federal  Reserve  announced  that  effective  March  26,  2020  the  reserve  requirement  would  be  reduced  to  zero.  This 
action was taken to support the flow of credit to households and businesses in response to the economic environment caused by 
the  COVID-19  pandemic.  At  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  Renasant  Bank’s  reserve  requirement  with  the  Federal  Reserve 
remained at $0.

The Company’s balance of FHLB stock, which is carried at amortized cost, at December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $8,272 and 
$12,252, respectively. The required investment for the same time period was $5,984 and $11,594 respectively.

The  Company’s  ability  to  pay  dividends  to  its  shareholders  is  substantially  dependent  on  the  ability  of  Renasant  Bank  to 
transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Under Mississippi law, a Mississippi bank with 
earned surplus in excess of three times capital stock may pay a dividend, subject to the approval of the Mississippi Department 
of Banking and Consumer Finance (the “DBCF”). In addition, the FDIC has the authority to prohibit the Bank from engaging in 
business practices that the FDIC considers to be unsafe or unsound, which, depending on the financial condition of the Bank, 
could  include  the  payment  of  dividends.  Accordingly,  the  approval  of  the  DBCF  is  required  prior  to  Renasant  Bank  paying 
dividends to the Company, and under certain circumstances the approval of the FDIC may be required. At December 31, 2021, 
the Bank’s earned surplus exceeded the Bank’s capital stock by more than ten times.

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,  2021,  the  maximum  amount  available  for  transfer  from  Renasant  Bank  to  the 
Company in the form of loans was $169,716.  The Company also maintains a $3,000 line of credit collateralized by cash with 
the Bank.  As of December 31, 2021, no loans from the Bank to the Company were outstanding. 

Note 21 – Regulatory Matters

(In Thousands)

The Company and the Bank are 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  the  Company’s  financial  statements.  Under  capital 
adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific 
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under 
regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators 
about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency have issued guidelines governing the levels 
of  capital  that  bank  holding  companies  and  banks  must  maintain.  Those  guidelines  specify  capital  tiers,  which  include  the 
following classifications (which include the “capital conservation buffer” discussed below):

Common  equity  Tier  1  capital  (“CET1”)  generally  consists  of  common  stock,  retained  earnings,  accumulated  other 
comprehensive income and certain minority interests, less certain adjustments and deductions. In addition, the Company must 
maintain  a  “capital  conservation  buffer,”  which  is  a  specified  amount  of  CET1  in  addition  to  the  amount  necessary  to  meet 
minimum  risk-based  capital  requirements.  The  capital  conservation  buffer  is  designed  to  absorb  losses  during  periods  of 
economic stress. If the Company’s ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted capital is below the capital conservation buffer, the Company 
will  face  restrictions  on  its  ability  to  pay  dividends,  repurchase  outstanding  stock  and  make  certain  discretionary  bonus 
payments. The required capital conservation buffer is 2.5% of CET1 to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary 
to meet minimum risk-based capital requirements. 

As previously disclosed, the Company adopted CECL as of January 1, 2020. The Company has elected to take advantage of 
transitional  relief  offered  by  the  Federal  Reserve  and  the  FDIC  to  delay  for  two  years  the  estimated  impact  of  CECL  on 
regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transitional period to phase out the capital benefit provided by the two-year delay.

Note 22 – Segment Reporting

(In Thousands)

The operations of the Company’s reportable segments are described as follows:

•

•

•

The  Community  Banks  segment  delivers  a  complete  range  of  banking  and  financial  services  to  individuals  and  small  to 
medium-size  businesses  including  checking  and  savings  accounts,  business  and  personal  loans,  asset-based  lending  and 
equipment leasing, as well as safe deposit and night depository facilities.

The  Insurance  segment  includes  a  full  service  insurance  agency  offering  all  major  lines  of  commercial  and  personal 
insurance through major carriers.

The  Wealth  Management  segment,  through  the  Trust  division,  offers  a  broad  range  of  fiduciary  services  including  the 
administration (as trustee or in other fiduciary or representative capacities) of benefit plans, management of trust accounts, 
inclusive of personal and corporate benefit accounts and custodial accounts, as well as accounting and money management 
for  trust  accounts.  In  addition,  the  Wealth  Management  segment,  through  the  Financial  Services  division,  provides 
specialized  products  and  services  to  customers,  which  include  fixed  and  variable  annuities,  mutual  funds  and  other 
investment services through a third party broker-dealer.

In order to give the Company’s divisional management a more precise indication of the income and expenses they can control, 
the  results  of  operations  for  the  Community  Banks,  the  Insurance  and  the  Wealth  Management  segments  reflect  the  direct 
revenues and expenses of each respective segment. Indirect revenues and expenses, including but not limited to income from 
the  Company’s  investment  portfolio,  as  well  as  certain  costs  associated  with  data  processing  and  back  office  functions, 
primarily support the operations of the community banks and, therefore, are included in the results of the Community Banks 
segment.  Included  in  “Other”  are  the  operations  of  the  holding  company  and  other  eliminations  which  are  necessary  for 
purposes of reconciling to the consolidated amounts.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The table below reports outstanding options, warrants and rights granted under plans approved by our shareholders and plans or 
arrangements that were not approved by our shareholders, as of December 31, 2021. These plans and arrangements are:

•

•

Shareholder-Approved Plans: We have two shareholder-approved equity compensation plans: (1) the 2020 Long-Term 
Incentive  Compensation  Plan  (the  “2020  LTIP”)  and  (2)  the  2011  Long-Term  Incentive  Compensation  Plan,  which 
expired  on  April    19,  2021  but  under  which  the  Company  ceased  making  grants  or  other  awards  upon  our 
shareholders’ approval of the 2020 LTIP on April 27, 2020.  The 2020 LTIP authorizes the Company to make grants 
and awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units to directors, officers 
and employees designated for participation in the plan.  As of December 31, 2021, an aggregate of 750,275 shares of 
unvested restricted stock remained outstanding under both plans, while there were no options outstanding under either 
plan as of such date.

Non-Shareholder Approved Plans and Arrangements: The only equity compensation plan or arrangement currently in 
force  that  was  not  approved  by  our  shareholders  is  our  Deferred  Stock  Unit  Plan.    Under  this  plan,  deferred 
compensation is used to “purchase” units representing shares of our common stock at fair market value.  An aggregate 
of 467,500 shares of Company common stock are reserved for issuance; as of December 31, 2021, units representing 
an aggregate of 308,388 shares of common stock were allocated to accounts, some of which has been distributed in the 
form of common stock.
