On February 6, 2013, First M&F Corporation (First M&F) and Renasant Corporation (Renasant) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for the merger of First M&F with and into Renasant, with Renasant the surviving corporation in the merger, and the merger of Merchants and Farmers Bank with and into Renasant Bank, with Renasant Bank the surviving banking corporation. If the merger is completed, holders of First M&F's common stock will receive 0.6425 of a share of Renasant common stock in exchange for each share of First M&F common stock held immediately prior to the merger, subject to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. First M&F will hold a special shareholder meeting in which holders of First M&F common stock will be asked to vote to adopt and approve the merger agreement. Consummation of the merger is contingent upon regulatory and both First M&F and Renasant shareholder approval and other closing conditions.
