Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(In Thousands)

Nature of Operations: Renasant Corporation (referred to herein as the “Company”) owns and operates Renasant Bank (“Renasant Bank” or the “Bank”), Renasant Insurance, Inc. and Park Place Capital Corporation. Through its subsidiaries, the Company offers a diversified range of financial, wealth management, fiduciary and insurance services to its retail and commercial customers from full service offices located throughout Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.

The Bank acquired Southeastern Commercial Finance, LLC (“SCF”), an asset-based lending company headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, effective March 1, 2022. Prior to the end of the third quarter of 2022, all of SCF's assets were distributed to the Bank in connection with the conversion and integration of SCF into the Bank.

In September 2022, the Bank formed Renasant Capital Funding Corporation (the “REIT”), which is intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The REIT will purchase from the Bank, either by assignment or participation, eligible loans collateralized by real estate located in Georgia and Florida, which allows for more effective monitoring of the loans and better managing liquidity related to such real estate assets. The arrangement provides tax benefits in certain states in which we operate.

Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2022.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material.

Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards and Pronouncements:

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-04, “Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations” (“ASU 2022-04”), which enhances the transparency of supplier finance programs by requiring that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose sufficient information about the program to allow a user of financial statements to understand the program's nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period, and potential magnitude. ASU 2022-04 will be effective on January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have no impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions” (“ASU 2022-03”), which clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. It also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. In addition, ASU 2022-03 requires the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: (1) the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet, (2) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s) and (3) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions(s). ASU 2022-03 will be effective on January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. The adoption of this accounting pronouncement will have no impact on the Company's financial statements aside from additional and revised disclosures.
