 the meeting, but only if the shareholder is a record holder of our stock or obtains a broker representation letter from the bank, broker or other record holder of the shareholder’s stock. A shareholder must also bring proof of identity to the meeting.

#### Quorum
A “quorum” must be present to hold our annual meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the annual meeting is a quorum. Once shares are represented for any purpose at the annual meeting, they are considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment, unless a new record date is set for the adjourned meeting.

#### How Votes are Counted
Proxies. Shares voted by proxy will be voted as instructed at the annual meeting, including any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. If a signed proxy card is returned with no voting instructions, the proxy holders will exercise their discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by the proxy as follows:

• “FOR” the election of nominees 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, E. Robinson McGraw, Renee Moore, Ted E. Parker, Sean M. Suggs and C. Mitchell Waycaster. Should the FBMS merger not be completed by the time of our 2025 Annual Meeting, votes cast in favor of the Messrs. Cole, Levy and Parker and Ms. Moore will not be counted, but proxies not revoked will be voted in favor of the other ten nominees;

• “FOR” the approval of an amendment to Renasant Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of common stock, par value $5.00 per share, authorized for issuance from 150 million shares to 250 million shares (the “Authorized Shares Increase Amendment”);
