Insights

Renasant adds $300 million in Tier 2 subordinated debt with flexible call terms.

Renasant Corporation issued $300 million of 6.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036, receiving about $295.7 million in net proceeds. The Notes carry a fixed 6.25% coupon to June 1, 2031, then float at Three-Month Term SOFR plus 245% basis points.

The debt is intended to qualify as Tier 2 regulatory capital, which can support balance sheet growth and loss-absorbing capacity. The Company also highlights potential redemption of $40 million of 5.50% subordinated notes due September 1, 2031, which may modestly reshape its funding mix.

Redemption flexibility begins on the June 1, 2031 interest payment date, subject to Federal Reserve approval and customary bank regulatory rules. Early redemption is also permitted for specified tax or capital treatment changes, giving management tools to respond to future regulatory or market developments disclosed in subsequent filings.

Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes financial
"6.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”)"
A fixed-to-floating rate subordinated note is a debt security that pays a set interest rate for an initial period and then switches to a variable rate tied to a market benchmark; it ranks below senior debt for repayment if the issuer has financial trouble. Investors care because it offers higher initial yield than senior bonds but carries greater credit and repayment risk and exposes holders to changing interest costs after the switch, like moving from a steady paycheck to one that fluctuates with the economy.
Tier 2 capital financial
"The Notes are intended to qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes."
Tier 2 capital is the secondary cushion a bank holds to absorb losses after its core capital is used, made up of items like long-term subordinated debt and certain reserves. Think of it as a backup battery that kicks in only after the main battery fails; it matters to investors because its size and quality affect a bank’s regulatory strength, creditworthiness, and the safety of dividends and bond payments under stress.
Three-Month Term SOFR financial
"floating per annum rate equal to the Three-Month Term SOFR, plus 245 basis points"
Three-month term SOFR is a forward-looking benchmark interest rate that estimates the expected cost of borrowing U.S. dollars for a three-month period, based on secured overnight financing market activity. Investors care because it sets the floating interest paid or received on many loans, bonds and derivatives—like a posted speed limit that determines how fast interest costs or returns can change—so shifts in this rate directly affect debt expenses, cash yields and valuations.
Subordinated Indenture financial
"issued under a Subordinated Indenture dated as of August 22, 2016"

Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Underwriting Agreement. On May 4, 2026, Renasant Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Stephens Inc., as representatives of the underwriters listed on Schedule I to the Underwriting Agreement, for the issuance and sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”), at a public offering price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

The offering of the Notes closed on May 7, 2026. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to the Company were approximately $295.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes for general corporate purposes, including the potential redemption of $40 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 5.50% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due September 1, 2031.

The Notes were sold pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-284828) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 11, 2025, and were offered to the public pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated May 4, 2026, supplementing the prospectus, dated February 11, 2025, which is contained in and forms a part of the Registration Statement.

The Underwriting Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary in agreements of this type. These representations, warranties and covenants are not representations of factual information to investors about the Company or its subsidiaries, and the sale of the Notes is not a representation that there has not been any change in the condition of the Company. The Company also agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Notes.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Indenture and Notes. The Notes have been issued under a Subordinated Indenture dated as of August 22, 2016 (the “Base Indenture”) by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by that certain Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 7, 2026, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, as previously supplemented, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Notes are set forth in, and such Notes are governed by, the Base Indenture and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

The Notes will mature on June 1, 2036. From and including May 7, 2026, to but excluding June 1, 2031 or the date of earlier redemption, the Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on each June 1 and December 1 commencing December 1, 2026, at a fixed annual interest rate equal to 6.25%. From and including June 1, 2031, to, but excluding the maturity date or earlier redemption date of the Notes, the Company will pay interest on the Notes at a floating per annum rate equal to a Benchmark rate (which is expected to be Three-Month Term SOFR) (each as defined in the Indenture), plus 245 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 commencing on September 1, 2031; provided, however, that in the event the Benchmark rate is less than zero, the Benchmark rate shall be deemed to be zero.

The Company may, beginning with the interest payment date of June 1, 2031, and on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, from time to time, subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) (or, as and if applicable, the rules of any appropriate successor bank regulatory agency) to the extent such approval is then required under the rules of the Federal Reserve (or such successor bank regulatory agency), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. The Company may also redeem the Notes at any time prior to their maturity, including prior to June 1, 2031, in whole, but not in part, subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve (or, as and if applicable, the rules of any appropriate successor bank regulatory agency) to the extent such approval is then required under rules of the Federal


Reserve (or such successor bank regulatory agency), if (i) a change or prospective change in law occurs that could prevent us from deducting interest payable on the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) a subsequent event occurs that could preclude the Notes from being recognized as Tier 2 Capital for regulatory capital purposes, or (iii) the Company is required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. There is no sinking fund for the benefit of the Notes, and the Notes are not convertible into, or exchangeable for, equity securities, other securities, or assets or property of the Company or its subsidiaries.

There is no automatic acceleration, or right of acceleration, in the case of default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, or in the performance of any of the Company’s other obligations under the Notes or the Indenture. The Indenture provides that holders of the Notes may accelerate payment of indebtedness only upon the Company’s or Renasant Bank’s insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization or similar proceedings, or if there is a liquidation or winding up of the Company’s business.

The Notes are the unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Company and rank (i) junior in right of payment and upon the Company’s liquidation to any of the Company’s existing and all future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture); (ii) junior in right of payment and upon the Company’s liquidation to any of the Company’s existing and all of its future general creditors; (iii) equal in right of payment and upon the Company’s liquidation with any of the Company’s existing and all of its future indebtedness the terms of which provide that such indebtedness ranks equally with the Notes and (iv) senior in right of payment and upon the Company’s liquidation to any of the Company’s existing junior subordinated debentures and any of its future indebtedness the terms of which provide that such indebtedness ranks junior in right of payment to note indebtedness such as the Notes. The Notes are effectively subordinated to the Company’s future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to the existing and future indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries, including, without limitation, depositors of Renasant Bank, liabilities to general creditors and liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business or otherwise.

The foregoing descriptions of the Base Indenture, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the Notes are not complete and are each qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture and the form of Note, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference and the Base Indenture, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 4.1 hereto.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

This report, including the exhibits furnished herewith, may contain, or incorporate by reference, statements about the Company that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects”, “projects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “potential,” “focus,” “possible,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate,” “will likely result,” or similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would” and “could,” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Forward-looking statements include information about the Company’s future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives and are based on the current beliefs and expectations of management. The Company’s management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but they are all inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ from those indicated or implied in the forward-looking statements, and such differences may be material. Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and, accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.

Important factors currently known to management that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the following: (i) our ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into our operations, retain the customers of these businesses, grow the acquired operations and realize the cost savings expected from an acquisition to the extent and in the timeframe anticipated by management (including the possibility that such cost savings will not be realized when expected, or at all, as a result of the impact of, or challenges arising from, the integration of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities into the Company, potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, or as a result of other unexpected factors or events); (ii) potential exposure to unknown or contingent risks and liabilities we have acquired or may acquire; (iii) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (iv) timing and success of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (v) our ability to remediate the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K


for the fiscal year ended December 1, 2025; (vi) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, factoring, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (vii) the financial resources of, and products available from, competitors; (viii) changes in laws and regulations as well as changes in accounting standards; (ix) changes in governmental and regulatory policy, whether applicable specifically to financial institutions or impacting the United States generally (such as, for example, changes in trade policy); (x) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (xi) the Company’s potential growth, including its entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (xii) changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers or issuers of investment securities, or the impact of interest rates on the value of our investment portfolio; (xiii) an insufficient allowance for credit losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (xiv) changes in the sources and costs of the capital we use to make loans and otherwise fund our operations, due to deposit outflows, changes in the mix of deposits and the cost and availability of borrowings; (xv) general economic, market or business conditions, including the impact of inflation; (xvi) changes in demand for loan and deposit products and other financial services; (xvii) concentrations of deposit or credit exposure; (xviii) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; (xix) losses resulting from fraudulent activity, including loan and deposit fraud and social engineering attacks targeting our customers, employees and third party vendors; (xx) increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions or financial losses, including as a result of sophisticated attacks using artificial intelligence (“AI”) and similar tools; (xxi) civil unrest, natural disasters, epidemics and other catastrophic events in or near the Company’s geographic area; (xxii) geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism and actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad; (xxiii) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, including the rapid development of AI technologies; and (xxiv) other circumstances, many of which are beyond management’s control.

The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, except as required by federal securities laws.
