Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Renasant Corporation (the “Company”) held a Special Meeting of Shareholders on June 16, 2015. Proxies were solicited pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and there was no solicitation in opposition to the Company’s solicitations. At the meeting, at which a quorum was present and acting throughout, shareholders voted on the following:
|
| | | |
| • | | A proposal to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 10, 2014 by and among the Company, Renasant Bank, Heritage Financial Group, Inc. (“Heritage”) and Heritage Bank of the South (“Heritage Bank”) and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger of Heritage with and into the Company (the “Merger Proposal”). |
|
| | | |
| • | | A proposal to approve the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, in the event that there were not sufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve the Merger Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”). |
The Merger Proposal was approved with the following vote:
|
| | | |
Votes”For” | Votes”Against” | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes |
21,107,685 | 160,406 | 77,583 | 26,284 |
The Adjournment Proposal was approved with the following vote:
|
| | | |
Votes”For” | Votes”Against” | Abstentions | Broker Non-Votes |
19,802,478 | 1,455,519 | 113,936 | — |
Because shareholders approved the Merger Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal was not necessary and therefore was not implemented. No other business was conducted at the Special Meeting of Shareholders.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 16, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing that its shareholders voted to approve the merger of Heritage with and into Renasant and the related merger of Heritage Bank with and into Renasant Bank.
