The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Mr. McDearman (our Chief Executive Officer) for each corresponding year in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

(2)

The dollar amounts reported in column (c) represent the amount of “compensation actually paid” to Mr. McDearman, as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid Mr. McDearman during the applicable year.

(a)

The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year, and these values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.

(b)

The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in the same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

2020—$14,005—$11,251——$25,256

(c)

The amounts included in this column are the amounts reported in “Change in Pension and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table for each applicable year.

(d)

The total pension benefit adjustments for each applicable year include the aggregate of two components: (i) the actuarially determined service cost for services rendered by Mr. McDearman during the applicable year (the “service cost”); and (ii) the entire cost of benefits granted in a plan amendment (or initiation) during the applicable year that are attributed by the benefit formula to services rendered in periods prior to the plan amendment or initiation (the “prior service cost”), in each case, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the pension benefit adjustments are as follows:

YearService CostPrior Service CostTotal Pension Benefit Adjustments
2024$37,785—$37,785
2023$35,828—$35,828
2022$33,987—$33,987
2021$32,254—$32,254
2020$13,078—$13,078

(3)

The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the amounts reported for the Company’s Named Executive Officers as a group (excluding Mr. McDearman, who has served as our CEO since 2020, and excluding in years 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Ms. Hawkins who became our Chief Financial Officer in 2024) in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The names of each of the Named Executive Officers (excluding Mr. McDearman) included for purposes of calculating the average amounts in each applicable year are as follows: (i) for 2024, John Foster, Taylor Walker, Clark Oakley, Lisa Pominski and Kayla Hawkins, (ii) for 2023, John Foster, Taylor Walker, Lisa Pominski and Clark Oakley, for (Iii) 2022, John Foster, Gary Whitaker, Lisa Pominski and Clark Oakley; (iv) for 2021, John Foster, Gary Whitaker, Lisa Pominski and Clark Oakley; and (v) for 2020, John Foster, Gary Whitaker, Lisa Pominski and Clark Oakley. The amount reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table for Ms. Pominski for 2024 was disproportionately impacted in comparison to prior years as a result of the inclusion in 2024 of (i) the increase in the actuarial present value of her Executive Salary Continuation Agreement, as amended, and her SERP Agreements resulting from Ms. Pominski fully vesting in the early retirement benefits payable under such agreements upon her retirement from the Company and the Bank on March 31, 2024, (ii) the Company’s payment of $59,762 in retainer and retreat fees to Ms. Pominski and health insurance premiums of $10,518 for Ms. Pominski, in each case in relation to her service on the Board of Directors from April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 following her retirement from the Company and the Bank on March 31, 2024; (iii) the monthly payments to Ms. Pominski under her Executive Salary Continuation Agreement, as amended, and SERP Agreements following her retirement on March 31, 2024 in the aggregate amount of $64,518; and (iv) $30,450 associated with the value of the unvested options and cash-settled SARs previously awarded to Ms. Pominski, the vesting of which was accelerated in connection with her retirement.

The dollar amounts reported in column (e) represent the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the Named Executive Officers as a group (excluding Mr. McDearman and in all years but 2024, Ms. Hawkins), as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The dollar amounts do not reflect the actual average amount of compensation earned, realized or received by the Named Executive Officers as a group (excluding Mr. McDearman and in all years but 2024, Ms. Hawkins) during the applicable year. In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to average total compensation for the Named Executive Officers as a group (excluding Mr. McDearman) for each year to determine the compensation actually paid, using the same methodology described above in Note 2:

(5)

Cumulative total shareholder return ("TSR") is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

(6)

The peer group used for this purpose is the following published industry index: KBW NASDAQ Bank Index. This index is market cap weighted and includes all reinvestment of dividends.

(7)

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

(8)

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income for the Bank for each applicable year. Net income for the Bank is the performance metric utilized for purposes of the annual cash incentive plan in which the Named Executive Officers participate and is the only performance metric utilized for our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. Accordingly, we are presenting it as our company-selected measure required under Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. Bank net income, rather than the Company’s net income, is utilized for the annual cash incentive plan because the Company believes it more directly reflects the performance of the Company's core banking business activities.

Financial Performance Measures

As described in greater detail in “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s performance–based executive compensation program is based exclusively on the Bank’s net income with the objective of incentivizing our Named Executive Officers to increase the value of our enterprise for our shareholders. The Personnel Committee utilizes the Bank’s net income because the Company believes it more directly reflects the performance of the Company’s core business activities.

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR

As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. McDearman and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers as a group (excluding Mr. McDearman and in all years but 2024, Ms. Hawkins) is generally aligned with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the five years presented in the table. The alignment of compensation actually paid with the Company’s cumulative TSR over the period presented is because a portion of the compensation actually paid to Mr. McDearman and to the other Named Executive Officers is comprised of stock options, cash-settled stock appreciation rights and/or time-based vesting restricted stock units in one or more of the periods reflected.

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and the Company's Net Income

As demonstrated by the following table, the amount of compensation actually paid to Mr. McDearman and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers as a group (excluding Mr. McDearman and in all years but 2024, Ms. Hawkins) is generally aligned with the Company’s and the Bank's net income over the five years presented in the table. The alignment of compensation actually paid with the Company’s and the Bank's net income over the period presented is because a significant portion of the compensation actually paid to Mr. McDearman and to the other Named Executive Officers is based upon net income of the Bank, which accounts for substantially all of the Company's net income and is the sole performance metric utilized for the Company’s annual cash incentive plan as described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation- Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Cumulative TSR of the Company and Cumulative TSR of the Peer Group

As demonstrated by the following graph, the Company’s cumulative TSR over the five year period presented in the table was 54%, while the cumulative TSR of the peer group presented for this purpose, the KBW NASDAQ Bank Index, was 33% over the five years presented in the table. The Company’s cumulative TSR outperformed the KBW NASDAQ Bank Index over the five years presented in the table, representing the Company’s superior financial performance as compared to the companies comprising the KBW NASDAQ Bank Index peer group. For more information regarding the Company’s performance and the peer group that the Personnel Committee considers when determining compensation, refer to “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”
