Accounting Policies Recently Adopted

Except for the changes detailed below, Trustmark has consistently applied its accounting policies to all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.” Issued in March 2020, ASU 2020-04 seeks to provided additional guidance, for a limited time, to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The FASB issued ASU 2020-04 is response to concerns about the structural risks of interbank offered rates and, in particular, the risk that the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) will no longer be used. Regulators have begun reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction-based and less susceptible to manipulation. Stakeholders have raised operational challenges likely to arise with the reference rate reform, particularly related to contract modifications and hedge accounting. The amendments of ASU 2020-04, which are elective and apply to all entities, provide expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships affected by the reference rate reform id certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The optional expedients for contract modifications should be applied consistently for all contracts or transactions within the relevant Codification Topic or Subtopic or Industry Subtopic that contains the related guidance. The optional expedients for hedging relationships can be elected on an individual hedging relationship basis. As the guidance in ASU 2020-04 is intended to assist entity’s during the global market-wide reference rate transition period, it is in effect for a limited time, from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. On January 7, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” to clarify the scope of the reference rate reform guidance in FASB ASC Topic 848. ASU 2021-01 refines the scope of FASB ASC Topic 848 to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions therein for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to contracts that are affected by the discounting transition. Specifically, modifications related to reference rate reform would not be considered an event that requires reassessment of previous accounting conclusions. The amendments in ASU 2021-01 also amend the expedients and exceptions in FASB ASC Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and to tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. The amendments of ASU 2021-01 were effective immediately when issued. Entities may choose to apply the amendments of ASU 2021-01 retrospectively as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively to new modifications from any date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to January 7, 2021, up to the date that financial statements are available to be issued. If an entity elects to apply any of the amendments in this ASU for an eligible hedging relationship, any adjustments as a result of those elections must be reflected as of the date that the entity applies the election. While the benchmark provider for U.S. LIBOR (which was typically the benchmark that Trustmark used) intends to provide the benchmark for some tenors of U.S. LIBOR through June 2023, Trustmark has transitioned to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for new variable rate loans, derivative contracts, borrowings and other financial instruments as of January 1, 2022. Management cannot make a determination at this time as to the impact the amendments of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 or the reference rate reform will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Pending Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Trouble Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” Issued in March 2022, ASU 2022-02 seeks to improve the decision usefulness of information provided to investors concerning certain loan refinancings, restructurings and write-offs. In regard to troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors, investors and preparers observed that the additional designation of a loan modification as a TDR and the related accounting are unnecessarily complex and no longer provide decision-useful information. The amendments of ASU 2022-02 eliminate the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors in FASB ASC Subtopic 310-40, “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” as it is no longer meaningful due to the implementation of FASB ASC Topic 326, which requires an entity to consider lifetime expected credit losses on loans when establishing an allowance for credit losses. Therefore, most losses that would have been realized for a TDR under FASB ASC Subtopic 310-40 are now captured by the accounting required under FASB ASC Topic 326. The amendments of ASU 2022-02 also enhanced disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Stakeholders also noted inconsistency in the requirement for a public business entity (PBE) to disclose gross write-offs and gross recoveries by class of financing receivable and major security type in certain vintage disclosures. Financial statement users expressed that, in addition to the existing vintage disclosures in FASB ASC Topic 326, information about gross write-offs by year of origination would be helpful in understanding credit quality changes in an entity’s loan portfolio and underwriting performance. For PBEs, the amendments of ASU 2022-02 require that an entity disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of FASB ASC Subtopic 326-20, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost.” For write-offs associated with origination dates that are more than five annual periods before the reporting period, an entity may present aggregate amounts in the current period for financing receivables and net investment in leases. The amendments of ASU 2022-02 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for entities that have already adopted the amendments of ASU 2016-13. Early adoption is permitted, provided that an entity has

adopted ASU 2016-13. If an entity elects to early adopt the amendments of this ASU during an interim period, the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. In addition, an entity may elect to early adopt the amendments about TDRs and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. Trustmark intends to adopt the amendments of ASU 2022-02 as of January 1, 2023. The amendments of ASU 2022-02 include only changes to certain financial statement disclosures, and, therefore, adoption of ASU 2022-02 is not expected to have a material impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
