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 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. This communication reflects the current
views and estimates of future economic circumstances, industry
conditions, company performance, and financial results of the
management of Renasant. These forward-looking statements are
subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause
Renasants actual results and experience to differ from the
anticipated results and expectations expressed in such
forward-looking statements, and such differences may be material.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made,
and Renasant does not assume any duty to update forward-looking
statements, unless required by applicable law. Such forward-looking
statements usually include words such as expects, projects,
proposes, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, strategy,
plan, potential, possible and other similar expressions. These
statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of
Renasants management and are inherently subject to significant
business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties, many of
which are beyond Renasant’s 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.
Important factors currently known to management that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking
statements include (1) Renasants ability to efficiently integrate
acquisitions into its operations, retain the customers of these
businesses and grow the acquired operations; (2) the effect of
economic conditions and interest rates on a national, regional or
international basis; (3) the timing 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
changes in accounting standards; (7) changes in policy by
regulatory agencies; (8) changes in the securities and foreign
exchange markets; (9) Renasants 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 Renasants 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; (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; and (16) other
circumstances, many of which are beyond managements control.
Management undertakes no obligation to update or revise
forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the
occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating
results over time.
