 shareholders and, accordingly, recommended that the board approve the Director Exculpation Amendment.

Required Vote. The approval of the Director Exculpation Amendment requires the affirmative vote of majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast for or against the proposal.

The Director Exculpation Amendment and the Authorized Shares Increase Amendment, discussed immediately above, are separate proposals, and whether our shareholders approve the Authorized Shares Increase Amendment or not will have no effect on the approval of the Director Exculpation Amendment.

Proposal 4 - Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Advisory Vote. Our board is seeking non-binding advisory shareholder approval of the compensation we pay to our named executive officers. This vote, called “say-on-pay,” is required by the Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act. We hold say-on-pay votes annually. For 2024 compensation, we are asking our shareholders to vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED , that the shareholders of Renasant Corporation hereby approve the compensation paid to the named executive officers of Renasant Corporation as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the executive compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which disclosures include the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables and any related narrative discussion).

Our compensation program is based on a design that rewards the attainment of performance measures that align the interests of our executives with those of our shareholders and also provides competitive fixed compensation intended to enhance employee retention and achieve strategic goals. The specific decisions made by our compensation committee for 2024 are summarized in

detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above and the compensation tables and related disclosures that appear in the Compensation Tables section. We urge our shareholders to carefully review these sections before deciding how to vote on this proposal.

Required Vote. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the annual meeting is required for the approval of the above resolution. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding, but our board and compensation committee will review the results as they continue to evaluate and modify our executive compensation program.
