EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement is being filed solely to register 500,000 additional shares of the $5.00 par value common stock of Renasant Corporation (the “Registrant”) issuable under the Renasant Bank 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference herein the contents of (i) its Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2003 (Registration No. 333-104445); (ii) its Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2005 (Registration No. 333-122514), and (iii) its Form S-8 Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2008 (Registration Statement No. 333-150355).
In Registration Statement No. 333-122514, the Registrant previously registered an aggregate of 450,000 shares, 400,000 shares of which were then allocated to an employee stock ownership component of the Plan. On December 21, 2009, the employee stock ownership component of the Plan was transferred to a separate employee benefit plan maintained by an affiliate of the Registrant. No separate registration statement was filed with respect to shares transferred to the ESOP. The Registrant believes that the 317,108 shares allocable to the employee stock ownership component as of December 21, 2009, which remained in the Plan, were properly available for issuance thereunder, notwithstanding the prior allocation.
