RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
GRANTED UNDER THE 
REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 2015 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

APRIL 29, 2019

You have been granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Award”) under the Regions Financial Corporation 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the terms and conditions of which are incorporated in this Award Agreement by reference.  This Award is made pursuant to a uniform plan of compensation for non-employee directors of Regions.  This Award Agreement, the Notice of Grant, and the Plan set forth the terms and conditions of your Award.  Capitalized terms not defined in this Award Agreement are references to defined terms in the Plan.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the provisions of this Award Agreement, the Plan, or the Notice of Grant, the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement will control.

During the vesting period, the Restricted Stock Units will be accounted for by Regions in a bookkeeping account.  Any ordinary cash dividends that would have been paid upon shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units will be accumulated and reinvested in additional Restricted Stock Units.  Since this Award constitutes a grant of Restricted Stock Units, there are no voting rights applicable to the Award.  

At the end of the vesting period, assuming you are an active member of the Board, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid to you in the form of shares of Stock.  The Stock will be subject to ordinary income tax based on the value of the shares on the date the Restricted Stock Units are released.  However, if you elected in 2018 to defer the receipt of any Restricted Stock Units under the Regions Financial Corporation Directors’ Deferred Restricted Stock Unit Plan, the Restricted Stock Units will not be subject to taxation at the end of the vesting period, but rather at the end of the deferral period, the Restricted Stock Units will be paid to you in shares of Stock and at that time subject to ordinary income tax based on the value of the shares on the date they are released.

If during the vesting period, your service on the Board ceases due to death or Disability, the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed to have vested and shares of Stock equivalent to the number of Restricted Stock Units will be issued to you, or your estate in the event of your death.  If during the vesting period, a Change in Control occurs and your service on the Board ceases without Cause within the twelve (12) month period following the Change in Control, to the extent the vesting period has not yet expired, the Restricted Stock Units will be deemed to have vested and shares of Stock equivalent to the number of Restricted Stock Units will be issued to you.  If during the vesting period, your service on the Board ceases for any other reason than the foregoing, the Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited as of the date your service ceases.  

Additional information concerning your Award of Restricted Stock Units, including copies of the Plan and its prospectus, is available online through Shareworks at www.solium.com/login.

Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement, the Plan, or the Notice of Grant to the contrary, in no event shall the Award or the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalents vest, settle, be paid, or accrue, if any such vesting, settlement, payment, or accrual would be in violation of applicable law.  

By signing the Notice of Grant, you acknowledge and agree that you accept this Award on the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement, the Plan, and the Notice of Grant, and you further acknowledge and agree as follows: (1)  this Award Agreement, the Plan, and the Notice of Grant set forth the entire agreement and understanding between you and Regions relating to the subject matter herein and supersede and replace all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such subject matter; (2) you and Regions have made no agreements, representations, or warranties relating to the subject matter of this Award Agreement that are not set forth herein; (3) no provision of this Award Agreement or the Notice of Grant may be amended, modified, or waived unless any such amendment, modification, or waiver is authorized by the Committee and is agreed to in writing by an authorized officer of Regions; and (4) this Award Agreement is binding on Regions and its successors and assigns.  

Thank you for your service on behalf of Regions!

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
Under the
REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION 
2015 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
April 1, 2019

You have been granted an award of Restricted Stock Units (the “Award”) under the Regions Financial Corporation 2015 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the terms and conditions of which are incorporated in this document by reference.  This document sets forth certain terms of your Award and constitutes the Award Agreement required by the Plan.  You should retain it for future reference.  The Plan, the Notice of Grant, which is a part of this Award Agreement, and the prospectus also describe certain provisions applicable to your Award.  Copies of these documents are available through Solium Shareworks, the online equity compensation management system used by Regions.  If you would like paper copies of these documents, please contact Executive Compensation at (205) 820-2355.  Capitalized terms not defined in this Award Agreement are references to defined terms in the Plan or the Notice of Grant.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency among the provisions in this Award Agreement, the Notice of Grant, or the Plan, the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement will control.

The grant date of your Award, the date on which your Award vests, and the vesting conditions for your Award are set forth in the attached Notice of Grant.  The number of Restricted Stock Units referenced in the Notice of Grant represent the maximum number of shares of Stock payable under this Award (“Maximum Award”).  The portion of the Maximum Award that may be paid is dependent on the extent to which (1) you satisfy the Service Vesting Period requirement and (2) the Company achieves the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds specified in the Notice of Grant.  Except as otherwise specified herein, at the end of the Performance Threshold Measurement Periods (collectively, the “Vesting Period”), the Committee will certify the level of achievement of the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds and determine the number of shares of Stock, if any, payable to you under this Award.  In order to receive such shares of Stock, you must be employed by Regions or one of its Subsidiaries through the end of the Service Vesting Period (except as otherwise provided below).  On such date, the number of shares of Stock payable under this Award, if any, will be issued and released to you.
 
During the Service Vesting Period, the Restricted Stock Units will be accounted for by the Company in a bookkeeping account.  Since this Award constitutes a grant of Restricted Stock Units, there are no voting rights applicable to this Award.  All ordinary cash dividends (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) that would have been paid upon shares of Stock underlying the Restricted Stock Units will be accumulated, deemed reinvested in shares of Stock based on the then current value of a share of Stock, and paid at the time and to the extent this Award vests (the “Dividend Equivalents”).  

Upon the vesting of this Award and any Dividend Equivalents, you may elect to satisfy any federal tax withholding requirements by reducing the number of shares of Stock that would otherwise be issued to you, to the extent and in the manner allowed by the Plan.  

If, during the Service Vesting Period, any of the following events occur, this Award will be treated as described below:

		
	•
	If your employment terminates due to your death, then as soon as practicable following your death, your Award will fully vest (unless prohibited by applicable laws, rules, or regulations), and shares of Stock equivalent to the Maximum Award will be issued to your estate.

 
		
	•
	If your employment terminates due to (a) your Disability or (b) your Retirement (on or after age 65 or on or after you attain age 55 with 10 years of continuous service) any time on or after November 30, 2019, then (i) the portion of this Award not subject to vesting based on achievement of the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds (____%) will fully vest upon your termination of employment (unless prohibited by applicable laws, rules, or regulations), and shares of Stock will be issued to you, and (ii) the portion of this Award subject to vesting based on achievement of the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds (____%) will continue to vest in accordance with its terms.

		
	•
	If the Company terminates your employment without Cause but through no fault of your own (as determined in the Company’s sole discretion), the Restricted Stock Units equivalent to the Maximum Award will be prorated for the portion of the Service Vesting Period between the grant date and the date your employment terminated, and then (i) the pro rata portion of this Award not subject to vesting based on achievement of the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds (____%) will fully vest upon your termination of employment (unless prohibited by applicable laws, rules, or regulations), 

and shares of Stock will be issued to you, and (ii) the pro rata portion of this Award subject to vesting based on achievement of the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds (____%) will continue to vest in accordance with its terms.

		
	•
	Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, in the event of a Change in Control, the portion of your Award that is subject to vesting based on achievement of the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds for any Performance Threshold Measurement Period that ends after the closing of the Change in Control will convert to time-based vesting for the duration of the applicable Performance Threshold Measurement Periods.  If your employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by you for Good Reason, in each case, within the twenty-four (24) month period following the Change in Control, this Award (i.e., the portion of this Award not subject to vesting based on achievement of the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds (____%) and the portion of this Award subject to vesting based on achievement of the Capital and Liquidity Performance Thresholds but converted to time-based vesting in accordance with the preceding sentence (up to ____%)) will fully vest upon your termination of employment (unless prohibited by applicable laws, rules, or regulations), and shares of Stock equivalent to the Maximum Award will be issued to you. 

		
	•
	If your employment terminates during the Service Vesting Period for any reason other than those listed above, your Award will be forfeited as of your termination date. 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Award (or any portion of this Award) is determined to be “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (for example, if you are eligible for retirement as defined above during the Service Vesting Period) and is payable on your termination of employment, then it will be paid only upon a “separation from service,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, and if you are a “specified employee,” as defined in Section 409A of the Code, it will not be paid until six months after your “separation from service,” all in accordance with Section 409A of the Code.

Any amounts paid or payable or shares of Stock delivered or deliverable under this Award are subject to clawback and/or forfeiture in accordance with the terms of Applicable Law and the Company’s Compensation Recoupment Policy (or any successor policy thereto), in each case, as in effect from time to time.

By signing the attached Notice of Grant, you acknowledge that you accept this Award on the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement, the Notice of Grant, and the Plan, and you further acknowledge and agree as follows: (1)  this Award Agreement, the Notice of Grant, and the Plan set forth the entire agreement and understanding between you and Regions relating to the subject matter herein and supersede and replace all prior agreements and understandings with respect to such subject matter; (2) you and Regions have made no agreements, representations, or warranties relating to the subject matter of this Award Agreement that are not set forth herein; (3) no provision of this Award Agreement may be amended, modified, or waived unless such amendment, modification, or waiver is authorized by the Committee and is agreed to in writing by an authorized officer of Regions; and (4) this Award Agreement is binding upon Regions’ successors and assigns.  You also acknowledge and agree that Regions, the Board, and the Committee, in their oversight and conduct of the business and affairs of Regions, may in good faith cause Regions to act or fail to act in a manner that prevents this Award from vesting; and this Award Agreement is not intended to and will not be interpreted to impose any liability upon Regions, the Board, the Committee, or any officer, agent, or associate of Regions for any forfeiture of this Award that results from any such action or omission.

I congratulate you on your Award, and thank you for your continued service to Regions!
