Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
Stock Options and Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units | Note 14. Equity Compensation Pinnacle Financial's Second Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") permits Pinnacle Financial to reissue outstanding awards that are subsequently forfeited, settled in cash, withheld by Pinnacle Financial to cover withholding taxes or expire unexercised and returned to the 2018 Plan. At December 31, 2024, there were approximately 1.7 million shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan. Common Stock Options Upon the acquisition of CapitalMark Bank & Trust (CapitalMark), Pinnacle Financial assumed approximately 858,000 stock options under the CapitalMark Option Plan. No further shares remain available for issuance under the CapitalMark Option Plan. At December 31, 2024, there are no remaining options outstanding under any equity incentive plan of Pinnacle Financial including those that were granted under the CapitalMark Option Plan. A summary of stock option activity within the equity incentive plans during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and information regarding expected vesting, contractual terms remaining, intrinsic values and other matters was as follows:
| Number |  | Weighted-Average Exercise Price |  | Weighted-Average Contractual Remaining Term (in years) |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (000's)
Outstanding at December 31, 2021 | 56,147 |  |  | $ | 24.51 |  |  |  |  |

. During 2023 and 2022, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised under Pinnacle Financial's equity incentive plans was $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, determined using the quoted price of Pinnacle Financial common stock as of the date of option exercise. There have been no options granted by Pinnacle Financial since 2008. All stock option awards granted by Pinnacle Financial were fully vested during 2013. Stock options granted under the CapitalMark Plan were fully vested at the time of acquisition. As such, there was no impact on the results of operations for stock-based compensation related to stock options for any year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, except for the tax impact recorded as a component of income tax expense upon exercise of any then outstanding options.

Pinnacle Financial grants restricted share awards to associates (including certain members of executive management) and outside directors with time-based vesting criteria. The following tables outline restricted stock grants that were made by grant year, grouped by similar vesting criteria, during the three-year period ended December 31, 2024. The table below reflects the life-to-date activity for these awards:
Grant year |  | Group (1) | Vesting period in years |  | Shares awarded |  | Restrictions lapsed and shares released to participants |  | Shares withheld for taxes by participants |  | Shares forfeited by participants (4) |  | Shares unvested
Time Based Awards
2022 |  | Associates (2) | 3 | — |  | 5 |  | 276,965 |  |  | 73,027 |  |  | 30,684 |  |  | 23,319 |  |  | 149,935 |
2023 |  | Associates (2) | 3 | — |  | 5 |  | 258,185 |  |  | 33,379 |  |  | 14,503 |  |  | 26,587 |  |  | 183,716 |
2024 |  | Associates (2) | 3 | — |  | 5 |  | 251,841 |  |  | 253 |  |  | 154 |  |  | 7,538 |  |  | 243,896 |

(1)Groups include employees (referred to as associates above) and outside directors. When the restricted shares are awarded, a participant receives voting rights and forfeitable dividend rights with respect to the shares, but is not able to transfer the shares until the restrictions have lapsed. Once the restrictions lapse, the participant is taxed on the value of the award and may elect to sell some shares (or have Pinnacle Financial withhold some shares) to pay the applicable income taxes associated with the award. Alternatively, the recipient can pay the withholding taxes in cash. For time-based vesting restricted share awards, dividends paid on shares for which the forfeiture restrictions do not lapse will be recouped by Pinnacle Financial at the time of termination. For awards to Pinnacle Financial's directors, dividends are placed into escrow until the forfeiture restrictions on such shares lapse. (2)The forfeiture restrictions on these restricted share awards lapse in equal annual installments on the anniversary date of the grant. (3)Restricted share awards are issued to the outside members of the board of directors in accordance with their board compensation plan. Restrictions on the restricted shares awarded in 2024 lapse on March 1, 2025 based on each individual board member meeting attendance goals for the various board and board committee meetings to which each member was scheduled to attend. (4)These shares represent forfeitures resulting from recipients whose employment or board membership was terminated during the life-to-date period ended December 31, 2024. Any dividends paid on shares for which the forfeiture restrictions do not lapse will be recouped by Pinnacle Financial at the time of termination or will not be distributed from escrow, as applicable. Compensation expense associated with the time-based vesting restricted share awards is recognized over the time period that the restrictions associated with the awards lapse on a straight-line basis based on the total cost of the award.

Pinnacle Financial grants restricted stock units to its Named Executive Officers (NEOs) and leadership team members with time-based vesting criteria. Compensation expense associated with time-based vesting restricted stock unit awards is recognized over the time period that the restrictions associated with the awards lapse on a straight-line basis based on the total cost of the award. The following table outlines restricted stock unit grants that were made, grouped by similar vesting criteria, during the three-year period ended December 31, 2024. The table reflects the life-to-date activity for these awards:
Grant year | Vesting period in years | Shares awarded | Restrictions lapsed and shares released to participants | Shares withheld for taxes by participants | Shares forfeited by participants (1) | Shares unvested
2022 | 3 | 38,133 |  | 16,768 |  | 7,710 |  | 2,433 |  | 11,222 |
2023 | 3 | 70,716 |  | 16,710 |  | 7,392 |  | 4,877 |  | 41,737 |
2024 | 3 | 57,612 |  | 24 |  | 8 |  | 569 |  | 57,011 |
(1)These shares represent forfeitures resulting from recipients whose employment was terminated during the life-to-date period ended December 31, 2024. Dividend equivalents are held in escrow for award recipients for dividends paid prior to the forfeiture restrictions lapsing. Such dividend equivalents are not released from escrow for the portion of an award that is forfeited. Performance Stock Unit Awards The following table details the performance stock unit awards outstanding at December 31, 2024:
Grant year |  | Units Awarded | Applicable performance periods associated with each tranche (fiscal year) | Service period per tranche (in years) | Subsequent holding period per tranche (in years) | Period in which units to be settled into shares of common stock (2)

|  |  |  |  |  | 2021 | 2 | 2 | 2025
|  |  |  |  |  | 2022 | 2 | 1 | 2025
(1)The named executive officers are awarded a range of awards that generally may be earned based on attainment of goals between a target level of performance and a maximum level of performance. The 230,000 performance units awarded to the NEOs in 2022 may be earned based on target level performance and do not include maximum level payout. (2)Performance stock unit awards granted in or after 2022, if earned, will be settled in shares of Pinnacle Financial common stock in the period noted in the table, if the performance criterion included in the applicable performance unit award agreement are met. Performance stock unit awards granted in 2020, to the extent earned, will be settled into shares of Pinnacle Financial Common Stock effective upon the filing of the Annual Report on Form 10-K in which these notes appear. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the restrictions associated with 435,863, 112,561 and 130,996 performance stock unit awards, respectively, granted in prior years lapsed, based on the terms of the applicable award agreement and approval by Pinnacle Financial's Human Resources and Compensation Committee, and were settled into shares of Pinnacle Financial common stock with 158,112, 39,139 and 46,684 shares, respectively, being withheld to pay the taxes associated with the settlement of those shares. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 43,177 and 9,967 performance stock unit awards granted in prior years were forfeited due to the failure to reach performance targets as defined in the associated performance stock unit award agreements. No shares were forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2022. A summary of stock compensation expense, net of the impact of income taxes, related to restricted share awards, restricted stock unit awards and performance stock unit awards for each year in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, follows (in thousands):
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Restricted stock expense | $ | 40,934 |  |  | $ | 41,879 |  |  | $ | 39,552 |
Income tax benefit (1) | 10,234 |  |  | 10,470 |  |  | 10,339 |
Restricted stock expense, net of income tax benefit | $ | 30,700 |  |  | $ | 31,409 |  |  | $ | 29,213 |
(1) Income tax benefit shown at statutory tax rate for each period presented. A portion of the restricted stock expense associated with awards to NEOs may be disallowed based on Federal income tax regulations. As of December 31, 2024, compensation cost related to unvested restricted share awards, restricted stock unit awards and performance stock unit awards not yet recognized was $62.3 million. This expense, if the underlying awards are earned, is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.94 years.
