NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION
OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON APRIL 21, 2020

To the shareholders of
Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc.:

In an effort to support the health and well-being of our shareholders, employees, partners and communities, in light of developments regarding the ongoing novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, global pandemic, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) has been changed. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 21, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time. However, the Annual Meeting now will be held solely by remote communication, in a “virtual only” format. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.

As described in the proxy materials that were previously distributed in connection with the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Materials”), all shareholders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on February 28, 2020 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting. Shareholders and other interested parties can access the virtual Annual Meeting at http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PNFP2020.

Shareholders desiring to login to the virtual Annual Meeting will have two options: You can join as a “Shareholder” or you can join as a “Guest.” If you join as a “Shareholder,” you will be required to have a control number and password. The control number can be found on the proxy card, voting instruction form, notice or email you previously received. Once properly admitted to the meeting, all shareholders of record as of the Record Date will be able to submit questions and vote their shares by following the instructions that will be available on the virtual meeting website. Technical support, including related support phone numbers, will be available on the virtual Annual Meeting platform at http://www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PNFP2020 beginning at 10:45 AM Central Time on April 21, 2020 through the conclusion of the Annual Meeting.




If you were not a shareholder as of the Record Date or do not have a control number, you may still attend the meeting as a “Guest” (non-shareholder), but you will not have the ability to vote or ask questions.

A list of shareholders of record as of the Record Date is available for inspection by shareholders at the principal executive offices of the Company located at 150 Third Avenue South, Suite 900, Nashville, TN 37221, and will be available for inspection by shareholders at the virtual Annual Meeting. All requests to access the list prior to the Annual Meeting should be directed to the Corporate Secretary at Hugh.Queener@pnfp.com.

It is important that you read the Proxy Materials and we encourage you to vote your shares of common stock in advance of the Annual Meeting by one of the methods described in the Proxy Materials. If you have already voted, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your vote. Proxy voting forms already returned by shareholders will remain valid and will be voted at the virtual Annual Meeting unless revoked. The proxy card included with the Proxy Materials will not be updated to reflect the change in location. You may continue to use the proxy card to vote your shares of common stock in connection with the Annual Meeting.

WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO LOG INTO THE VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING, WE URGE YOU TO VOTE AND SUBMIT YOUR PROXY IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING BY ONE OF THE METHODS DESCRIBED IN THE PROXY MATERIALS.

Date: April 8, 2020     
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
