portion of the cash compensation that would otherwise be payable to him or her
be credited to an account that will acquire, or be "deemed" to be an investment

of shares held for the director when his or her service on the Board terminates

years. Dividends paid on the shares held in this plan are accumulated and
reinvested in BancTrust common stock.

</Table>

         Caulie T. Knowles, III, was an executive officer of the Company at the
beginning of 2005, and was a named executive officer of the Company in its 2005
Proxy Statement; however, Mr. Knowles resigned all of his positions with the
Company and its subsidiaries, except his position as a director of the Florida
Bank, effective June 1, 2005. His salary was set at $172,000 for 2005.

Bonus

         Each executive officer is also eligible to participate in the Company's
cash bonus plan. Any bonus earned is typically determined and paid in the first
quarter of the year following the year in which the bonus is earned. Annual cash
awards are based on a percentage of base salary. At the beginning of the year,
the incentive level of participation is established as a percent of salary for
each participant, and individual performance objectives are set. Weights and
ranges are set that support the Company's strategy, operating plans, and/or job
assignment. There is no guarantee of a payout, or of a minimum payout.
Performance below threshold on a particular objective earns no payout for that
objective. Also, circuit breakers in the plan can cause incentive payouts to be
cancelled. Circuit breakers are set annually and may vary from officer to
officer. Circuit breakers have historically related to such factors as
regulatory ratings, credit quality and performance ratios. Failure to meet a
circuit breaker threshold results in no payout. The Board has final discretion
as to what, if any, payments are made.

         In January 2005, the Company awarded bonuses to its executive officers
for 2004 as follows:

<Table>

      W. Bibb Lamar, Jr.                           $126,672

      Michael D. Fitzhugh                          $ 41,016

      F. Michael Johnson                           $ 48,639

      Bruce C. Finley, Jr.                         $ 30,580

      Caulie T. Knowles, III                       $ 64,893
</Table>

Perquisites

         We furnish each of Messrs. Lamar, Fitzhugh, Johnson and Finley with an
automobile, and we pay country club and other club dues and related expenses for
each of them. The aggregate amount of this compensation annually has never
exceeded the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of total annual salary and bonus for any
executive officer.

Equity Based Incentives

         The Company's executive officers are eligible to participate in the
Company's 2001 Incentive Compensation Plan. The Company is working with a
compensation consultant on a long-term incentive plan to tie equity compensation
to the achievement of specific individual and Company goals. That plan has not
yet been implemented; however, in January of 2005, the Company's board of
directors approved restricted stock awards under the 2001 Incentive Compensation
Plan to its executive officers as follows:

<Table>

        NAME                                        NUMBER OF SHARES AWARDED
<S>                                                 <C>
        W. Bibb Lamar, Jr.                                   6,000

        Michael D. Fitzhugh                                  3,000

        F. Michael Johnson                                   3,000

        Bruce C. Finley, Jr.                                 1,000
</Table>

                                       4
<PAGE>
         These awards were evidenced by agreements providing that if a grantee
terminates employment for any reason other than death, disability or retirement
prior to January 19, 2008, the restricted shares would be forfeited. In the
event of death, disability or retirement during the restricted period, a
prorated portion of the shares would be forfeited, based on the number of months
elapsing from January 19, 2005 until the event and the total restriction period
of 36 months. Mr. Knowles was awarded 3,000 shares of restricted stock, which
were forfeited upon his resignation.

         At its July 2005 meeting, our Board of Directors approved the grant of
up to 34,000 shares of restricted stock under our 2001 Incentive Compensation
Plan. This grant will be made in January of 2006 if certain performance goals
for net income in 2005 are met. Mr. Lamar is eligible to receive up to 8,000
shares, assuming the performance goals are met, and the balance of the shares
will be apportioned among other officers, including Mr. Fitzhugh and Mr.
Johnson, in a manner to be determined by the board based on Mr. Lamar's
recommendation. If a grantee terminates employment for any reason other than
death, disability or retirement prior to December 31, 2008, the shares would be
forfeited. In the event of death, disability or retirement during the restricted
period, a prorated portion of the shares would be forfeited, based on the number
of months elapsing from January 1, 2006 until the event and the 36 month
restricted period. In the event of a change in control of the Company, all
restrictions would lapse.

Change in Control Agreements

         The Mobile Bank has entered into Change in Control Compensation
Agreements (the "Agreements") with Messrs. Lamar, Johnson, Fitzhugh and Finley.
These Agreements provide that if Messrs. Lamar, Johnson, Fitzhugh or Finley is
terminated other than for cause (as defined in the Agreements) following a
change in control, or if his assigned duties or responsibilities are diminished
such that they are inconsistent with his present position, he will be entitled
to receive a cash payment equal to three times his average annual earnings (as
defined in the Agreements) in the case of Messrs. Lamar and Johnson, one and
one-half times his average annual earnings in the case of Mr. Fitzhugh and equal
to his average annual earnings in the case of Mr. Finley. Certain other existing
employee benefits are also available to each of Messrs. Lamar, Johnson, Fitzhugh
and Finley under terms of these Agreements for a period after termination of
three years for Messrs. Lamar and Johnson, eighteen months for Mr. Fitzhugh and
twelve months for Mr. Finley. These Agreements automatically renew each calendar
year unless terminated by the Mobile Bank at least 90 days prior to any December
31.

Benefits

         The executive officers are also eligible to participate in the
Company's and its subsidiaries' broad based benefit programs generally available
to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the applicable
retirement plans and health, disability and life insurance programs.

                                       5
<PAGE>

Supplemental Retirement Plan

         In addition to participation in our generally available retirement
plans, Messrs. Lamar and Johnson participate in the Mobile Bank's Supplemental
Retirement Plan, which is designed to supplement the benefits payable under our
Pension Plan for certain key employees selected by the Board of Directors. Each
participant was a participant in a pension plan of another bank prior to his
employment with the Mobile Bank, and the Supplemental Plan is designed to afford
the participant the same pension he or she would receive under our Pension Plan
if he or she had been employed by the Mobile Bank for his or her entire banking
career, reduced by the benefits actually payable to him or her under our Plan
and any retirement benefits payable to him or her under any plan of another
bank. Benefits for total and permanent disability are supplemented in the same
manner.

                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

         The foregoing information is summary in nature. Additional information
regarding the Company's compensation of its directors and its named executive
officers has been included in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2005 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 8, 2005.
