| PROPOSALS |

#### Proposal 1 - Election of Directors
Nominees . The board has nominated Kevin D. Chapman, Donald Clark, Jr., M. Ray (Hoppy) Cole, Jr., John M. Creekmore, Albert J. Dale, III, Jill V. Deer, Connie L. Engel, Neal A. Holland, Jr., Jonathan A. Levy, Renee Moore, E. Robinson McGraw, Ted E. Parker, Sean M. Suggs and C. Mitchell Waycaster for election as directors, to serve a one-year term, or until the 2026 annual meeting. At the 2024 annual meeting, Renasant shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to declassify the board of directors, without shortening any director’s current term in office. Since the term of office of directors Gary D. Butler, Rose J. Flenorl, John T. Foy and Richard L. Heyer, Jr. does not expire until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, they are not up for reelection at this year’s annual meeting, notwithstanding the declassification of the board of directors.

As required under the merger agreement for the FBMS merger, at the closing of the FBMS merger we are required to increase the size of our board of directors by four members and appoint Messrs. Cole, Levy and Parker and Ms. Moore to the board. The board has nominated Messrs. Cole, Levy and Parker and Ms. Moore for election at the 2025 Annual Meeting, contingent on the closing of the FBMS merger prior to the meeting, which remains subject to regulatory approval and the satisfaction of the remaining, customary conditions to closing. Should we not complete the merger prior to the meeting, none of Messrs. Cole, Levy and Parker and Ms. Moore will stand for election to the board at the 2025 Annual Meeting, and we will not count votes cast for any of them. Instead, they will subsequently be appointed to the board at the time of our completion of the FBMS merger in accordance with our merger agreement with FBMS. We believe that, upon their appointment to the board following the completion of the FBMS merger, Messrs. Cole, Levy and Parker and Ms. Moore will
