“Safe Harbor” Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 in an effort to encourage companies to provide information about their anticipated future financial performance. This act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure, which protects a company from unwarranted litigation if actual results are different from management expectations. Such forward-looking statements usually include words such as “expects,” “projects,” “proposes,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “strategy,” “plan,” “potential,” “possible,” “approximately,” “should” and variations of such words and other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this communication reflect Renasant’s current assumptions and estimates of, among other things, future economic circumstances, industry conditions, business strategy and decisions, company performance and financial results. Renasant believes its assumptions and estimates are reasonable, but they are all inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, many beyond Renasant’s control, that could cause the company’s actual results and experience to differ from the anticipated results and expectations indicated or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such differences may be material. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and, accordingly, they 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 Renasant’s management that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include the following risks: (1) Renasant’s ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into its 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; (2) the effect of economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or international basis; (3) the timing and success of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (4) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, insurance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (5) the financial resources of, and products available to, competitors; (6) changes in laws and regulations (including H.R. 1, commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted in December 2017) as well as changes in accounting standards; (7) changes in policy by regulatory agencies; (8) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (9) Renasant’s potential growth, including its entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (10) changes in the quality or composition of Renasant’s loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers; (11) an insufficient allowance for loan losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (12) general economic, market or business conditions, including the impact of inflation; (13) changes in demand for loan products and financial services; (14) concentration of credit exposure; (15) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; (16) increased cybersecurity risk, including potential network breaches, business disruptions or financial losses; (17) natural disasters and other catastrophic events in the companies’ geographic area; (18) the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; and (19) other circumstances, many of which are beyond management’s control.

Renasant expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions or estimates, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

Q2 2018 Investor Presentation

This presentation contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about Renasant Corporation (“Renasant,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Congress passed the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 in an effort to encourage companies to provide information about their anticipated future financial performance. This act provides a safe harbor for such disclosure, which protects a company from unwarranted litigation if actual results are different from management expectations. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our 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. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could,” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Investors should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this presentation as well as in reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements: (i) our ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into our operations, retain the customers of these businesses and grow the acquired operations, including with respect to our pending acquisition of Brand Group Holdings, Inc.; (ii) the timing of the implementation of changes in operations to achieve enhanced earnings or effect cost savings; (iii) competitive pressures in the consumer finance, commercial finance, insurance, financial services, asset management, retail banking, mortgage lending and auto lending industries; (iv) the financial resources of, and products available to, competitors; (v) changes in laws and regulations as well as changes in accounting standards; (vi) changes in regulatory policy; (vii) changes in the securities and foreign exchange markets; (viii) our potential growth, including our entrance or expansion into new markets, and the need for sufficient capital to support that growth; (ix) changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, including adverse developments in borrower industries or in the repayment ability of individual borrowers; (x) an insufficient allowance for loan losses as a result of inaccurate assumptions; (xi) general market or business conditions; (xii) changes in demand for loan products and financial services; (xiii) concentration of credit exposure; (xiv) changes or the lack of changes in interest rates, yield curves and interest rate spread relationships; and (xv) other circumstances, many of which are beyond management’s control. Our management believes the forward-looking statements about us are reasonable. However, investors should not place undue reliance on them. Any forward-looking statements in this presentation are not guarantees of future performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those contemplated by those forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict. We expressly disclaim any duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section.
