Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Representatives of Renasant Corporation (“Renasant”) will be making presentations to investors during various conferences in the fourth quarter of 2018. A copy of the presentation materials is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein solely for purposes of this Item 7.01.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
“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 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.
