HANCOCK WHITNEY CORP

The Compensation Committee is responsible for the oversight and administration of the director compensation program. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the director compensation program to ensure pay for directors is appropriate for their role as an advisor to the Company and competitive among peers to allow us to attract and retain qualified directors. The Compensation Committee annually engages Aon’s Human Capital Solutions practice, a division of Aon plc (“Aon”) (otherwise known as McLagan), as its independent compensation consultant, to perform a review of our director compensation program, including a comparison of our program against the programs of the bank and bank holding companies in our Compensation Peer Group (see description of this group in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis) as well as other market practices.
