 the Exchange Act in connection with the solicitation of proxies by a shareholder in a contested election.

If a shareholder intends to recommend a nominee for election as director on behalf of the beneficial owner of the shares that the recommending shareholder is the record owner of, the recommending shareholder must also provide the information described above with respect to the beneficial owner. Finally, the nominating shareholder must provide such information with respect to any affiliates, associates and others acting in concert with the shareholder and, if applicable, such beneficial owner.

The shareholder must also update any information provided so that the information provided in the shareholder’s notice is true and correct as of both the record date of the relevant shareholder meeting and the date that is ten days prior to the meeting date and provide any additional information that we may reasonably require.

Shareholder Nominees Subject to Separate Proxy Solicitation. The SEC’s “universal proxy” rules permit shareholders to include their own nominees for election as directors on Renasant’s proxy card, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, including that the shareholder(s) provide notice to us that such shareholder(s) intend to solicit Renasant shareholders holding at least 67% of our outstanding shares to vote in support of director nominees other than Renasant’s nominees. A shareholder wishing to include the shareholder’s recommended candidate(s) for election to the board of directors on Renasant’s proxy card pursuant to Rule 14a-19 must send us notice, delivered within the timeframes set forth in our Bylaws (and discussed above under the “Process for Shareholder Recommendations of Director Nominees” heading), that not only includes the information required under Article III, Section 9, of our Bylaws but also complies with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(b).

In addition, at least seven days prior to the applicable meeting, the shareholder must also deliver us evidence that the requirements of Rule 14a-19 have been met. If the shareholder fails to provide such evidence (or to otherwise provide any necessary updates or supplements to previously-provided information), then the shareholder’s nominee(s) will be deemed

ineligible for election at the upcoming meeting and any votes or proxies for such nominees will be treated as abstentions; also, if our proxy card has not already been made available to our shareholders, then the nominees will not be listed on our proxy card.
