Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On November 1, 2025, Renasant Corporation (the “ Company”) was formally notified that the partners and professional staff of HORNE LLP (“ HORNE”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, joined BDO USA, P. C. (“ BDO”) effective as of November 1, 2025. On the same day, following the resignation of HORNE, the Company, through and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, engaged BDO as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of HORNE on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the interim period through November 1, 2025, there were no disagreements between the Company and HORNE on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of HORNE, would have caused HORNE to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the interim period through November 1, 2025, HORNE did not advise the Company of any of the matters specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

A copy of HORNE’s letter to the Commission dated November 3, 2025 is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.

During the Company’s two most recently completed fiscal years and through the date of engagement of BDO, neither the Company nor anyone on behalf of the Company consulted with BDO regarding (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
