Trustmark Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 –
Business, Basis of Financial Statement Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Trustmark Corporation (Trustmark) is a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi.  Through its subsidiaries, Trustmark operates as a financial services organization providing banking and financial solutions to corporate institutions and individual customers through approximately 170 offices in Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.

The consolidated financial statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include the accounts of Trustmark and all other entities in which Trustmark has a controlling financial interest.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in Trustmark’s 2011 annual report on Form 10-K.

Operating results for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year or any future period.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and income and expense during the reporting period and the related disclosures.  Although Management’s estimates contemplate current conditions and how they are expected to change in the future, it is reasonably possible that in 2012 actual conditions could vary from those anticipated, which could affect our results of operations and financial condition.  The allowance for loan losses, the amount and timing of expected cash flows from acquired loans and the FDIC indemnification asset, the valuation of other real estate, the fair value of mortgage servicing rights, the valuation of goodwill and other identifiable intangibles, the status of contingencies and the fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2
Business Combinations

BancTrust Financial Group, Inc.

On May 29, 2012, Trustmark and BancTrust Financial Group, Inc. (BancTrust) announced the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which BancTrust will merge into Trustmark.  BancTrust has 49 offices throughout Alabama and the Florida Panhandle with $1.3 billion in loans and $1.8 billion in deposits at March 31, 2012.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, which was approved unanimously by the Boards of Directors of both companies, holders of BancTrust common stock will receive 0.125 of a share of Trustmark common stock for each share of BancTrust common stock in a tax-free exchange.  Trustmark will issue approximately 2,245,923 shares of its common stock for all issued and outstanding shares of BancTrust common stock.  Based upon a price of $24.66 per share of Trustmark common stock (the closing price on the trading day immediately preceding the announcement of the definitive agreement), the transaction is valued at approximately $55.4 million, or $3.08 per share of BancTrust common stock.  Trustmark intends to repurchase the $50.0 million of BancTrust preferred stock and associated warrants issued to the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Capital Purchase Program.

BancTrust shareholders approved the merger on September 26, 2012.  Regulatory approval is still pending.  On October 9, 2012, Trustmark and BancTrust announced that the definitive agreement dated May 28, 2012, pursuant to which BancTrust will merge into Trustmark, has been amended to extend the latest possible closing date for the merger from December 31, 2012, to February 28, 2013. This extension provides additional time in which to receive regulatory approval as well as to ensure a smooth transition and operational conversion to Trustmark systems in early 2013. All other material aspects of the definitive agreement remain unchanged.

Bay Bank & Trust Company

On March 16, 2012, Trustmark National Bank (TNB) completed its merger with Bay Bank & Trust Co. (Bay Bank), a 76-year old financial institution headquartered in Panama City, Florida.  Trustmark acquired all outstanding common stock of Bay Bank for approximately $22 million in cash and stock, comprised of $10 million in cash and the issuance of approximately 510 thousand shares of Trustmark common stock valued at $12 million.  This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”  Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.  The purchase price allocation was deemed preliminary as of March 31, 2012 and was finalized in the second quarter of 2012.

The statement of assets purchased and liabilities assumed in the Bay Bank acquisition is presented below at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date of March 16, 2012 ($ in thousands):

Bargain purchase gain, net of taxes
$ 3,635

The bargain purchase gain represents the excess of the net of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the consideration paid to Bay Bank. Initially, Trustmark recognized a bargain purchase gain of $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 and subsequently increased the bargain purchase gain by $881 thousand during the second quarter of 2012 as the fair values associated with the Bay Bank acquisition were finalized.  The gain of $3.6 million recognized by Trustmark is considered a gain from a bargain purchase under FASB ASC Topic 805 and is included in other noninterest income.  Included in noninterest expense during the first quarter of 2012 are non-routine Bay Bank transaction expenses totaling approximately $2.6 million (change in control and severance expense of $672 thousand included in salaries and benefits; contract termination and other expenses of $1.9 million included in other expense).

The identifiable intangible assets represent the core deposit intangible at fair value at the acquisition date.  The core deposit intangible is being amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated useful life, currently expected to be approximately 10 years.

Loans acquired from Bay Bank were evaluated under a fair value process involving various degrees of deterioration in credit quality since origination, and also for those loans for which it was probable at acquisition that TNB would not be able to collect all contractually required payments.  These loans, with the exception of revolving credit agreements, are referred to as acquired impaired loans and are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.” Refer to Note 5 – Acquired Loans for further information on acquired loans.

The operations of Bay Bank are included in TNB’s operating results from March 16, 2012 and added revenue of $10.0 million and net income available to common shareholders of $1.2 million through September 30, 2012. Such operating results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Heritage Banking Group

On April 15, 2011, the Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance closed the Heritage Banking Group (Heritage), a 90-year old financial institution headquartered in Carthage, Mississippi, and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) as receiver.  On the same date, TNB entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC in which TNB agreed to assume all of the deposits and purchased essentially all of the assets of Heritage.  The FDIC and TNB entered into a loss-share transaction on approximately $151.9 million of Heritage assets, which covers substantially all loans and all other real estate.  Under the loss-share agreement, the FDIC will cover 80% of covered loan and other real estate losses incurred.  Because of the loss protection provided by the FDIC, the risk characteristics of the Heritage loans and other real estate covered by the loss-share agreement are significantly different from those assets not covered by this agreement.  As a result, Trustmark will refer to loans and other real estate subject to the loss-share agreement as “covered” while loans and other real estate that are not subject to the loss-share agreement will be referred to as “noncovered” or “excluding covered.”  The loss-share agreement applicable to single family residential mortgage loans and related foreclosed real estate provides for FDIC loss sharing and TNB’s reimbursement to the FDIC for recoveries of covered losses for ten years from the date on which the loss-share agreement was entered.  The loss-share agreement applicable to commercial loans and related foreclosed real estate provides for FDIC loss sharing for five years from the date on which the loss-share agreement was entered and TNB’s reimbursement to the FDIC for recoveries of covered losses for an additional three years thereafter.
8

Pursuant to the provisions of the Heritage loss-share agreement, TNB may be required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement should actual losses be less than certain thresholds established in the agreement.  To the extent that actual losses on covered loans and covered other real estate are less than estimated losses, the applicable true-up payable to the FDIC upon termination of the loss-share agreement will increase.  To the extent that actual losses on covered loans and covered other real estate are more than estimated losses, the applicable true-up payable to the FDIC upon termination of the loss-share agreement will decrease.  TNB calculates the projected true-up payable to the FDIC quarterly and records a FDIC true-up provision for the present value of the projected true-up payable to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement.  The FDIC indemnification asset is presented net of the FDIC true-up provision.  Changes in the FDIC true-up provision are recorded to noninterest income.

The assets purchased and liabilities assumed for the Heritage acquisition have been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.  The assets and liabilities, both tangible and intangible, are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.
The statement of assets purchased and liabilities assumed in the Heritage acquisition are presented below at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date of April 15, 2011 ($ in thousands):

The bargain purchase gain represents the net of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is influenced significantly by the FDIC-assisted transaction process.  Under the FDIC-assisted transaction process, only certain assets and liabilities are transferred to the acquirer and, depending on the nature and amount of the acquirer's bid, the FDIC may be required to make a cash payment to the acquirer.  The pretax gain of $7.5 million recognized by Trustmark is considered a bargain purchase transaction under FASB ASC Topic 805.  The gain was recognized as other noninterest income in Trustmark’s consolidated statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Fair Value of Acquired Financial Instruments

For financial instruments measured at fair value, TNB utilized Level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of securities available for sale, time deposits (included in deposits above) and FHLB advances (shown as short-term borrowings above).  Level 3 inputs were used to determine the fair value of both LHFI and acquired loans, identifiable intangible assets, covered other real estate and the FDIC indemnification asset.  The methodology and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair values of these financial assets and liabilities are as follows:

Securities Available for Sale

Estimated fair values for securities available for sale are based on quoted market prices where available.  If quoted market prices are not available, estimated fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Acquired Loans

Fair value of acquired loans is determined using a discounted cash flow model based on assumptions regarding the amount and timing of principal and interest payments, estimated prepayments, estimated default rates, estimated loss severity in the event of defaults and current market rates.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

The fair value assigned to the identifiable intangible assets, in this case core deposit intangibles, represent the future economic benefit of the potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits in the acquisition compared to the cost of obtaining alternative funding from market sources.

Other Real Estate, Including Covered Other Real Estate

Other real estate, including covered other real estate, was initially recorded at its estimated fair value on the acquisition date based on similar market comparable valuations less estimated selling costs.

FDIC Indemnification Asset

The FDIC indemnification asset was initially recorded at fair value, based on the discounted value of expected future cash flows under the loss-share agreement.

Time Deposits

Time deposits were valued by projecting expected cash flows into the future based on each account’s contracted rate and then determining the present value of those expected cash flows using current rates for deposits with similar maturities.

FHLB Advances

FHLB advances were valued by projecting expected cash flows into the future based on each account’s contracted rate and then determining the present value of those expected cash flows using current rates for advances with similar maturities.

Please refer to Note 16 – Fair Value for more information on Trustmark’s classification of financial instruments based on valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy.

Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, Management considers, among other things, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and the intent and ability of Trustmark to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  The unrealized losses shown above are primarily due to increases in market rates over the yields available at the time of purchase of the underlying securities and not credit quality.  Because Trustmark does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that Trustmark will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, Trustmark does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2012.  There were no other-than-temporary impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Loan Concentrations

Trustmark does not have any loan concentrations other than those reflected in the preceding table, which exceed 10% of total LHFI.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark's geographic loan distribution was concentrated primarily in its four key market regions, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.  A substantial portion of construction, land development and other land loans are secured by real estate in markets in which Trustmark is located.  Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of these loans and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of other real estate, are susceptible to changes in market conditions in these areas.

Nonaccrual/Impaired LHFI

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying amounts of nonaccrual LHFI, which are individually evaluated for impairment analysis, were $80.7 million and $110.5 million, respectively.  Of this total, all commercial nonaccrual LHFI over $500 thousand were specifically evaluated for impairment (specifically evaluated impaired LHFI) using a fair value approach.  The remaining nonaccrual LHFI were not all specifically reviewed and written down to fair value less cost to sell. No material interest income was recognized in the income statement on nonaccrual LHFI for each of the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

All of Trustmark’s specifically evaluated impaired LHFI are collateral dependent loans.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, specifically evaluated impaired LHFI totaled $36.5 million and $68.9 million, respectively.  In addition, these specifically evaluated impaired LHFI had a related allowance of $6.6 million and $8.8 million at the end of the respective periods.  For collateral dependent loans, when a loan is deemed impaired, the full difference between the carrying amount of the loan and the most likely estimate of the asset’s fair value less cost to sell is charged-off.  Charge-offs related to specifically evaluated impaired LHFI totaled $11.0 million and $18.4 million for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  No provision was recorded to net income for these loans for the first nine months of 2012, while provisions of $6.2 million were charged to net income for these loans for the first nine months of 2011.

Fair value estimates for specifically evaluated impaired LHFI are derived from appraised values based on the current market /as is value of the property, normally from recently received and reviewed appraisals.  If an  appraisal with an inspection date within the past 12 months using the necessary assumptions is not in the file, a new appraisal is ordered.  Appraisals are obtained from state-certified appraisers and are based on certain assumptions, which may include construction or development status and the highest and best use of the property.  These appraisals are reviewed by the Appraisal Review Department to ensure they are acceptable, and values are adjusted down for costs associated with asset disposal.  Once this estimated net realizable value has been determined, the value used in the impairment assessment is updated. At the time a specifically evaluated impaired LHFI is deemed to be impaired, the full difference between book value and the most likely estimate of the asset’s net realizable value is charged off. As subsequent events dictate and estimated net realizable values decline, required reserves may be established or further adjustments recorded.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, nonaccrual LHFI not specifically reviewed for impairment and written down to fair value less cost to sell, totaled $44.2 million and $41.6 million, respectively.  In addition, these nonaccrual LHFI had allocated allowance for loan losses of $7.1 million and $3.9 million at the end of the respective periods.

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, LHFI classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) totaled $26.3 million and $34.2 million, respectively.  For TDRs, Trustmark had a related loan loss allowance of $4.6 million and $4.5 million at the end of each respective period.  Specific charge-offs related to TDRs totaled $5.3 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  LHFI that are TDRs are charged down to the most likely fair value estimate less a cost to sell estimate for collateral dependent loans, which would approximate net realizable value.

Trustmark’s TDRs have resulted primarily from allowing the borrower to pay interest only for an extended period of time rather than from forgiveness.  Accordingly, as shown above, these TDRs have a similar recorded investment for both the pre-modification and post-modification disclosure.  Trustmark has utilized loans 90 days or more past due to define payment default in determining TDRs that have subsequently defaulted.

Credit Quality Indicators

Trustmark’s loan portfolio credit quality indicators focus on six key quality ratios that are compared against bank tolerances.  The loan indicators are total classified outstanding, total criticized outstanding, nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets, delinquencies and net loan losses.  Due to the homogenous nature of consumer loans, Trustmark does not assign a formal internal risk rating to each credit and therefore the criticized and classified measures are unique to commercial loans.
In addition to monitoring portfolio credit quality indictors, Trustmark also measures how effectively the lending process is being managed and risks are being identified.  As part of an ongoing monitoring process, Trustmark grades the commercial portfolio as it relates to financial statement exceptions, total policy exceptions, collateral exceptions and violations of law as shown below:

·
Financial Statement Exceptions – focuses on the officers’ ongoing efforts to obtain, evaluate and/or document sufficient information to determine the quality and status of the credits.  This area includes the quality and condition of the files in terms of content, completeness and organization.  Included is an evaluation of the systems/procedures used to insure compliance with policy such as financial statements, review memos and loan agreement covenants.
·
Underwriting/Policy – evaluates whether credits are adequately analyzed, appropriately structured and properly approved within requirements of bank loan policy.  A properly approved credit is approved by adequate authority in a timely manner with all conditions of approval fulfilled. Total policy exceptions measure the level of exceptions to loan policy within a loan portfolio.
·
Collateral Documentation – focuses on the adequacy of documentation to support the obligation, perfect Trustmark’s collateral position and protect collateral value.  There are two parts to this measure:
ü
Collateral exceptions where certain collateral documentation is either not present, is not considered current or has expired.
ü
90 days and over collateral exceptions are where certain collateral documentation is either not present, is not considered current or has expired and the exception has been identified in excess of 90 days.
·
Compliance with Law – focuses on underwriting, documentation, approval and reporting in compliance with banking laws and regulations.  Primary emphasis is directed to Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) and Regulation O requirements.

Trustmark has established a Loan Grading System that consists of ten individual Credit Risk Grades (Risk Ratings) that encompass a range from loans where the expectation of loss is negligible to loans where loss has been established. The model is based on the risk of default for an individual credit and establishes certain criteria to delineate the level of risk across the ten unique Credit Risk Grades.  Credit risk grade definitions are as follows:

·
Risk Rate (RR) 1 through RR 6 – Grades one through six represent groups of loans that are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance.  Loans in these groups exhibit characteristics that represent low to moderate risk measured by using a variety of credit risk criteria such as cash flow coverage, debt service coverage, balance sheet leverage, liquidity, management experience, industry position, prevailing economic conditions, support from secondary sources of repayment and other credit factors that may be relevant to a specific loan.  In general, these loans are supported by properly margined collateral and guarantees of principal parties.
17

·
Other Assets Especially Mentioned (OAEM) - (RR 7) – a loan that has a potential weakness that if not corrected will lead to a more severe rating.  This rating is for credits that are currently protected but potentially weak because of an adverse feature or condition that if not corrected will lead to a further downgrade.
·
Substandard (RR 8) – a loan that has at least one identified weakness that is well defined.  This rating is for credits where the primary sources of repayment are not viable at this time or where either the capital or collateral is not adequate to support the loan and the secondary means of repayment do not provide a sufficient level of support to offset the identified weakness but are sufficient to prevent a loss at this time.  While these credits do not demonstrate any level of loss at this time, further deterioration would lead to a further downgrade.
·
Doubtful (RR 9) – a loan with an identified weakness that does not have a valid secondary source of repayment.  Generally these credits have an impaired primary source of repayment and secondary sources are not sufficient to prevent a loss in the credit.
·
Loss (RR 10) – a loan or a portion of a loan that is deemed to be uncollectible.

By definition, credit risk grades OAEM (RR 7), substandard (RR 8), doubtful (RR 9) and loss (RR 10) are criticized loans while substandard (RR 8), doubtful (RR 9) and loss (RR 10) are classified loans.  These definitions are standardized by all bank regulatory agencies and are generally equally applied to each individual lending institution. The remaining credit risk grades are considered pass credits and are solely defined by Trustmark.

The credit risk grades represent the probability of default (PD) for an individual credit and as such is not a direct indication of loss given default (LGD).  The LGD aspect of the subject risk ratings is neither uniform across the nine primary commercial loan groups or constant between the geographic areas.  To account for the variance in the LGD aspects of the risk rate system, the loss expectations for each risk rating is integrated into the allowance for loan loss methodology where the calculated LGD is allotted for each individual risk rating with respect to the individual loan group and unique geographic area.  The LGD aspect of the reserve methodology is calculated each quarter as a component of the overall reserve factor for each risk grade by loan group and geographic area.

To enhance this process, loans of a certain size that are rated in one of the criticized categories are routinely reviewed to establish an expectation of loss, if any, and if such examination indicates that the level of reserve is not adequate to cover the expectation of loss, a special reserve or impairment is generally applied.

The distribution of the losses is accomplished by means of a loss distribution model that assigns a loss factor to each risk rating (1 to 9) in each commercial loan pool. A factor is not applied to risk rate 10 (Loss) as loans classified as Losses are not carried on the bank’s books over each quarter end as they are charged off within the period that the loss is determined.
The expected loss distribution is spread across the various risk ratings by the perceived level of risk for loss. The nine grade scale above ranges from a negligible risk of loss to an identified loss across its breadth. The loss distribution factors are graduated through the scale on a basis proportional to the degree of risk that appears manifest in each individual rating and assumes that migration through the loan grading system will occur.

Each loan officer assesses the appropriateness of the internal risk rating assigned to their credits on an ongoing basis.  Trustmark’s Asset Review area conducts independent credit quality reviews of the majority of the bank’s commercial loan portfolio concentrations both on the underlying credit quality of each individual loan portfolio as well as the adherence to bank loan policy and the loan administration process.  In general, Asset Review conducts reviews of each lending area within a six to eighteen month window depending on the overall credit quality results of the individual area.

In addition to the ongoing internal risk rate monitoring described above, Trustmark conducts monthly credit quality reviews (CQR) as well as semi-annual analysis and stress testing on all residential real estate development credits and non-owner occupied commercial real estate (CRE) credits of $1.0 million or more as described below:
·
Trustmark’s Credit Quality Review Committee meets monthly and performs the following functions: detailed review and evaluation of all loans of $100 thousand or more that are either delinquent thirty days or more or on nonaccrual, including determination of appropriate risk ratings, accrual status, and appropriate servicing officer; review of risk rate changes for relationships of $100 thousand or more; quarterly review of all nonaccruals less than $100 thousand to determine whether the credit should be charged off, returned to accrual, or remain in nonaccrual status; monthly/quarterly review of continuous action plans for all credits rated seven or worse for relationships of $100 thousand or more; monthly review of all commercial charge-offs of $25 thousand or more for the preceding month.
18

·
Residential real estate developments - a development project analysis is performed on all projects regardless of size.  Performance of the development is assessed through an evaluation of the number of lots remaining, the payout ratios, and the loan-to-value ratios.  Results are stress tested as to absorption and price of lots.  This information is reviewed by each senior credit officer for that market to determine the need for any risk rate or accrual status changes.
·
Non-owner occupied commercial real estate – a cash flow analysis is performed on all projects with an outstanding balance of $1.0 million or more.  In addition, credits are stress tested for vacancies and rate sensitivity.  Confirmation is obtained that guarantor’s financial statements are current, taxes have been paid, and that there are no other issues that need to be addressed.  This information is reviewed by each senior credit officer for that market to determine the need for any risk rate or accrual status changes.
Consumer Credits

Loans that do not meet a minimum custom credit score are reviewed quarterly by Management.  The Retail Credit Review Committee reviews the volume and percentage of approvals that did not meet the minimum passing custom score by region, individual location, and officer.  To assure that Trustmark continues to originate quality loans, this process allows Management to make necessary changes such as changes to underwriting procedures, credit policies, or changes in loan authority to Trustmark personnel.

Trustmark monitors the levels and severity of past due consumer loans on a daily basis through its collection activities.  A detailed assessment of consumer loan delinquencies is performed monthly at both a product and market level by delivery channel, which incorporates the perceived level of risk at time of underwriting.  Trustmark also monitors its consumer loan delinquency trends by comparing them to quarterly industry averages.

The allowance calculation methodology delineates the consumer loan portfolio into homogeneous pools of loans that contain similar structure, repayment, collateral and risk profile, which include residential mortgage, direct consumer loans, auto finance, credit cards, and overdrafts.  For these pools, the historical loss experience is determined by calculating a 20-quarter rolling average and that loss factor is applied to each homogeneous pool to establish the quantitative aspect of the methodology.  Where the loss experience does not fully cover the anticipated loss for a pool, an estimate is also applied to each homogeneous pool to establish the qualitative aspect of the methodology.  The qualitative portion is the allocation of perceived risks across the loan portfolio to derive the potential losses that exist at the current point in time.  This methodology utilizes five separate factors where each factor is made up of unique components that when weighted and combined produce an estimated level of reserve for each of the loan pools.  The five factors include economic indicators, performance trends, management experience, lending policy measures, and credit concentrations.

The risk measure for each factor is converted to a scale ranging from 0 (No risk) to 100 (High Risk) to ensure that the combination of such factors is proportional.  The determination of the risk measurement for each qualitative factor is done for all four markets combined.  The resulting estimated reserve factor is then applied to each pool.

The resulting ratings from the individual factors are weighted and summed to establish the weighted average qualitative factor of a specific loan portfolio. This weighted average qualitative factor is then applied over the five loan pools.

LHFS past due 90 days or more totaled $39.5 million and $39.4 million at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. LHFS past due 90 days or more are serviced loans eligible for repurchase, which are fully guaranteed by GNMA.  GNMA optional repurchase programs allow financial institutions to buy back individual delinquent mortgage loans that meet certain criteria from the securitized loan pool for which the institution provides servicing.  At the servicer's option and without GNMA's prior authorization, the servicer may repurchase such a delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100 percent of the remaining principal balance of the loan.  This buy-back option is considered a conditional option until the delinquency criteria are met, at which time the option becomes unconditional.  When Trustmark is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans under the unconditional buy-back option, the loans can no longer be reported as sold and must be brought back onto the balance sheet as loans held for sale, regardless of whether Trustmark intends to exercise the buy-back option.  These loans are reported as held for sale with the offsetting liability being reported as short-term borrowings.  Trustmark did not exercise its buy-back option on any delinquent loans serviced for GNMA during the first nine months of 2012 or 2011.

Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI

Trustmark’s allowance for loan loss methodology for commercial loans is based upon regulatory guidance from its primary regulator and GAAP.  The methodology delineates the commercial purpose and commercial construction loan portfolios into nine separate loan types (or pools), which had similar characteristics, such as, repayment, collateral and risk profiles.  The nine basic loan pools are further segregated into Trustmark’s four key market regions, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, to take into consideration the uniqueness of each market.  A 10-point risk rating system is utilized for each separate loan pool to apply a reserve factor consisting of quantitative and qualitative components to determine the needed allowance by each loan type.  As a result, there are 360 risk rate factors for commercial loan types.  The nine separate pools are segmented below:

21

Commercial Purpose Loans
·
Real Estate – Owner Occupied
·
Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied
·
Working Capital
·
Non-Working Capital
·
Land
·
Lots and Development
·
Political Subdivisions
Commercial Construction Loans
·
1 to 4 Family
·
Non-1 to 4 Family

During the third quarter of 2011, Trustmark altered the quantitative factors of the allowance for loan loss methodology to reflect a twelve-quarter rolling average of net charge-offs.  The quantitative factors utilized in determining the required reserve are intended to reflect a twelve-quarter rolling average, one quarter in arrears, by loan type within each key market region, unless subsequent market factors suggest that a different method is called for.  This alteration to Trustmark’s methodology allows for a greater sensitivity to current trends, such as economic changes as well as current loss profiles, which creates a more accurate depiction of historical losses.  Prior to converting to a twelve-quarter rolling average, the quantitative factors reflected a three-year rolling average for Trustmark’s commercial loan book of business.

The qualitative factors are determined through the utilization of eight separate factors made up of unique characteristics that, when weighted and combined, produce an estimated level of reserve for each loan type.  The qualitative factors considered are the following:

·
National and regional economic trends and conditions
·
Impact of recent performance trends
·
Experience, ability and effectiveness of management
·
Adherence to Trustmark’s loan policies, procedures and internal controls
·
Collateral, financial and underwriting exception trends
·
Credit concentrations
·
Acquisitions
·
Catastrophe

The measure for each qualitative factor is converted to a scale ranging from 0 (No risk) to 100 (High Risk), other than the last two factors, which are applied on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to ensure that the combination of such factors is proportional. The resulting ratings from the individual factors are weighted and summed to establish the weighted average qualitative factor of a specific loan portfolio within each key market region.  This weighted average qualitative factor is then distributed over the nine primary loan pools within each key market region based on the ranking by risk of each.

Acquired noncovered loans were included in LHFI at December 31, 2011.
The acquired loans were recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition.  Fair value of acquired loans is determined using a discounted cash flow model based on assumptions regarding the amount and timing of principal and interest payments, estimated prepayments, estimated default rates, estimated loss severity in the event of defaults and current market rates.  Estimated credit losses are included in the determination of fair value; therefore, an allowance for loan losses is not recorded on the acquisition date.
24

Loans acquired in an FDIC-assisted transaction and covered under loss-share agreements, such as those acquired from Heritage, are referred to as “covered loans” and are reported separately in Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.  The covered loans were recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of acquisition exclusive of the expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC.

TNB accounts for acquired impaired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality.”  An acquired loan is considered impaired when there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that TNB would be unable to collect all contractually required payments.  Revolving credit agreements such as home equity lines are excluded from acquired impaired loan accounting requirements.  TNB acquired $5.9 million and $3.8 million of revolving credit agreements, at fair value, in the Bay Bank and Heritage acquisitions, respectively, consisting mainly of home equity loans and commercial asset-based lines of credit, where the borrower had revolving privileges on the acquisition date.  As such, TNB has accounted for such revolving loans in accordance with accounting requirements for acquired nonimpaired loans.

For acquired impaired loans, TNB (a) calculated the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments (the “undiscounted contractual cash flows”) and (b) estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments (the “undiscounted expected cash flows”).  Under acquired impaired loan accounting, the difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference.  The nonaccretable difference represents an estimate of the loss exposure of principal and interest related to the acquired impaired loan portfolio and such amount is subject to change over time based on the performance of such loans.

The excess of expected cash flows at acquisition over the initial fair value of acquired impaired loans is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recorded as interest income over the estimated life of the loans using the effective yield method if the timing and amount of the future cash flows is reasonably estimable.  Improvements in expected cash flows over those originally estimated increase the accretable yield and are recognized as interest income prospectively.  Decreases in the amount and changes in the timing of expected cash flows compared to those originally estimated decrease the accretable yield and usually result in a provision for loan losses and the establishment of an allowance for loan losses.  The carrying value of acquired impaired loans is reduced by payments received, both principal and interest, and increased by the portion of the accretable yield recognized as interest income.

TNB aggregates certain acquired loans into pools of loans with common credit risk characteristics such as loan type and risk rating.  To establish accounting pools of acquired loans, loans are first categorized by similar purpose, similar collateral, similar geographic region, and by their operational servicing center.  Within each category, loans are further segmented by ranges of risk determinants observed at the time of acquisition.  For commercial loans, the primary risk determinant is the risk rating as assigned by TNB's internal credit officers.  For consumer loans, the risk determinants include delinquency, FICO and loan to value.  Statistical comparison of the pools reflect that each pool is comprised of loans generally of statistically similar characteristics, including loan type, loan risk and weighted average life.  Each pool is then reviewed for statistical similarity of the pool constituents, including standard deviation of purchase price, weighted average life and concentration of the largest loans.  Loan pools are initially booked at the aggregate fair value of the loan pool constituents, based on the present value of TNB's expected cash flows from the loans.  An acquired loan will be removed from a pool of loans only if the loan is sold, foreclosed, or payment is received in full satisfaction of the loan.  The acquired loan will be removed from the pool at its carrying value.  If an individual acquired loan is removed from a pool of loans, the difference between its relative carrying amount and its cash, fair value of the collateral, or other assets received will be recognized as a gain or loss immediately in interest income on loans and would not affect the effective yield used to recognize the accretable yield on the remaining pool.  Certain acquired loans are not pooled and are accounted for individually.  Such loans consist of loans subject to accounting for acquired nonimpaired loans and loans that require more specific estimates of actual timing and amounts of cash flows due to the significant impairment of the borrower's ability to pay.

As required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30, TNB periodically re-estimates the expected cash flows to be collected over the life of the acquired impaired loans.  If, based on current information and events, it is probable that TNB will be unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, the acquired loans are considered impaired.  The decrease in the expected cash flows reduces the carrying value of the acquired impaired loans as well as the accretable yield and results in a charge to income through the provision for loans losses and the establishment of an allowance for loan losses.  If, based on current information and events, it is probable that there is a significant increase in the cash flows previously expected to be collected or if actual cash flows are significantly greater than cash flows previously expected, TNB will reduce any remaining allowance for loan losses established on the acquired impaired loans for the increase in the present value of cash flows expected to be collected.  The increase in the expected cash flows for the acquired impaired loans over those originally estimated at acquisition increases the carrying value of the acquired impaired loans as well as the accretable yield.  The increase in the accretable yield is recognized as interest income over the remaining average life of the acquired impaired loans.

On March 16, 2012, TNB completed its merger with Bay Bank.  Loans acquired in the Bay Bank acquisition were evaluated for evidence of credit deterioration since origination and collectability of contractually required payments.  TNB elected to account for all loans acquired in the Bay Bank acquisition as acquired impaired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 except for $5.9 million of acquired loans with revolving privileges, which are outside the scope of the guidance. While not all loans acquired from Bay Bank exhibited evidence of significant credit deterioration, accounting for these acquired loans under ASC Topic 310-30 would have materially the same result as the alternative accounting treatment.  The purchase price allocation was deemed preliminary as of March 31, 2012 and was finalized in the second quarter of 2012.

The following table presents the fair value of loans acquired as of the date of the Bay Bank acquisition ($ in thousands):

On April 15, 2011, TNB entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC in which TNB agreed to assume all of the deposits and essentially all of the assets of Heritage.  Loans comprised the majority of the assets acquired and $97.8 million, or 91% of total loans acquired, are subject to the loss-share agreement with the FDIC whereby TNB is indemnified against a portion of the losses on covered loans and covered other real estate.

No allowance for loan losses was brought forward on any of the acquired loans as any credit deterioration evident in the loans was included in the determination of the fair value of the loans at the acquisition date.  Updates to expected cash flows for acquired impaired loans accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 may result in a provision for loan losses and the establishment of an allowance for loan losses to the extent the amount and timing of expected cash flows decrease compared to those originally estimated at acquisition.  TNB initially established an allowance for loan losses associated with covered acquired impaired loans during the fourth quarter of 2011 as a result of valuation procedures performed during the period.

As discussed in Note 4 - Loans Held for Investment (LHFI) and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI, TNB has established a Loan Grading System that consists of ten individual Credit Risk Grades (Risk Ratings) that encompass a range from loans where the expectation of loss is negligible to loans where loss has been established.  The model is based on the risk of default for an individual credit and establishes certain criteria to delineate the level of risk across the ten unique Credit Risk Grades.  These credit quality measures are unique to commercial loans.  Credit quality for consumer loans is based on individual credit scores, aging status of the loan, and payment activity.

Acquired noncovered loans were included in LHFI at December 31, 2011.
Under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, acquired loans are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan when expected cash flows are reasonably estimable.  Accordingly, acquired impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans as long as the estimated cash flows are received as expected.  If the timing and amount of cash flows is not reasonably estimable, the loans may be classified as nonaccrual loans and interest income may be recognized on a cash basis or as a reduction of the principal amount outstanding.  At September 30, 2012, there were no acquired impaired loans accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 classified as nonaccrual loans.  At September 30, 2012, approximately $953 thousand of acquired loans not accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30 were classified as nonaccrual loans, compared to approximately $491 thousand of acquired loans at December 31, 2011.

Note 6
Mortgage Banking

Trustmark recognizes as assets the rights to service mortgage loans based on the estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights (MSR) when loans are sold and the associated servicing rights are retained.  Trustmark also incorporates a hedging strategy, which utilizes a portfolio of derivative instruments to achieve a return that would substantially offset the changes in fair value of MSR attributable to interest rates.  Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by changes in the fair value of MSR.
30

The fair value of MSR is determined using discounted cash flow techniques benchmarked against third-party valuations.  Estimates of fair value involve several assumptions, including key valuation assumptions about market expectations of future prepayment rates, interest rates and discount rates which are provided by a third party firm.  By way of example, an increase in either the prepayment speed or discount rate assumption will result in a decrease in the fair value of the MSR, while a decrease in either assumption will result in an increase in the fair value of the MSR.  In recent years, there have been significant market-driven fluctuations in loan prepayment speeds and discount rates.  These fluctuations can be rapid and may continue to be significant.  Therefore, estimating prepayment speed and/or discount rates within ranges that market participants would use in determining the fair value of MSR requires significant management judgment.
Trustmark utilizes a portfolio of exchange-traded derivative instruments, such as Treasury note futures contracts and option contracts, to achieve a fair value return that offsets the changes in fair value of the MSR attributable to interest rates.  These transactions are considered freestanding derivatives that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting.  Changes in the fair value of these exchange-traded derivative instruments, including administrative costs, are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of the MSR.  The MSR fair value represents the present value of future cash flows, which among other things includes decay and the effect of changes in interest rates.  Ineffectiveness of hedging the MSR fair value is measured by comparing the change in value of hedge instruments to the change in the fair value of the MSR asset attributable to changes in interest rates and other market driven changes in valuation inputs and assumptions.  The impact of this strategy resulted in a net negative ineffectiveness of $1.8 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to a net positive ineffectiveness of $2.8 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

See the section captioned “Noninterest Income” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis for further analysis of mortgage banking revenues, which includes the table for net hedge ineffectiveness.

Trustmark is subject to losses in its loan servicing portfolio due to loan foreclosures.  Trustmark has obligations to either repurchase the outstanding principal balance of a loan or make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of a loan if it is determined that the loans sold were in violation of representations or warranties made by Trustmark at the time of the sale, herein referred to as mortgage loan servicing putback expenses.  Such representations and warranties typically include those made regarding loans that had missing or insufficient file documentation and/or loans obtained through fraud by borrowers or other third parties.  The total mortgage loan servicing putback expenses incurred by Trustmark during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011 were $7.2 million and $2.5 million, respectively.  During the second quarter of 2012, Trustmark updated its quarterly analysis of mortgage loan repurchase exposure.  This analysis, along with recent mortgage industry trends, resulted in Trustmark providing an additional reserve of approximately $4.0 million in the second quarter.  At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accrued mortgage loan servicing putback expenses were $8.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively.  There is inherent uncertainty in reasonably estimating the requirement for reserves against future mortgage loan servicing putback expenses.  Future putback expenses are dependent on many subjective factors, including the review procedures of the purchasers and the potential refinance activity on loans sold with servicing released and the subsequent consequences under the representations and warranties.  Notwithstanding significant changes in future behaviors and the demand patterns of investors, Trustmark believes that it has appropriately reserved for potential mortgage loan repurchase requests.

Other Real Estate and Covered Other Real Estate

Other Real Estate, excluding Covered Other Real Estate

Other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the estimated cost of disposition. Fair value is based on independent appraisals and other relevant factors. Valuation adjustments required at foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark's geographic loan distribution was concentrated primarily in its four key market regions, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.  The ultimate recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, is susceptible to changes in market conditions in these areas.

Covered Other Real Estate

Covered other real estate was initially recorded at its estimated fair value on the acquisition date based on an independent appraisal less estimated selling costs.  Any subsequent valuation adjustments due to declines in fair value are charged to noninterest expense, and are mostly offset by noninterest income representing the corresponding increase to the FDIC indemnification asset for the offsetting loss reimbursement amount.  Any recoveries of previous valuation adjustments will be credited to noninterest expense with a corresponding charge to noninterest income for the portion of the recovery that is due to the FDIC.

FDIC Indemnification Asset

The FDIC indemnification asset was initially recorded at fair value, based on the discounted value of expected future cash flows under the loss-share agreement.  The difference between the present value at acquisition date and the undiscounted cash flows TNB expects to collect from the FDIC is accreted into noninterest income over the life of the FDIC indemnification asset.  The FDIC indemnification asset is presented net of any true-up provision, pursuant to the provisions of the loss-share agreement, due to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Heritage loss-share agreement, TNB may be required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement should actual losses be less than certain thresholds established in the agreement.  TNB calculates the projected true-up payable to the FDIC quarterly and records a FDIC true-up provision for the present value of the projected true-up payable to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement.  TNB’s FDIC true-up provision totaled $961 thousand and $601 thousand at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The FDIC indemnification asset is reduced as expected losses on covered loans and covered other real estate decline or as loss-share claims are submitted to the FDIC.  The FDIC indemnification asset is revalued concurrent with the loan re-estimation and adjusted for any changes in expected cash flows based on recent performance and expectations for future performance of covered loans and covered other real estate.  These adjustments are measured on the same basis as the related covered loans and covered other real estate.  Any increases in cash flow of the covered loans and covered other real estate over those expected reduce the FDIC indemnification asset, and any decreases in cash flow of the covered loans and covered other real estate under those expected increase the FDIC indemnification asset.  Increases and decreases to the FDIC indemnification asset are recorded as adjustments to noninterest income.

During the second quarter of 2012, Trustmark re-estimated the expected cash flows on the acquired loans of Heritage as required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30.  The analysis resulted in improvements in the estimated future cash flows of the acquired loans that remain outstanding as well as lower expected remaining losses on those loans.  The improvements in the estimated expected cash flows of the covered loans resulted in a reduction of the expected loss-share receivable from the FDIC.  During the first nine months of 2012, other income included a writedown of the FDIC indemnification asset of $3.0 million on covered loans as a result of loan payoffs, improved cash flow projections and lower loss expectations for loan pools.

Defined Benefit and Other Postretirement Benefits

Capital Accumulation Plan

Trustmark maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (Trustmark Capital Accumulation Plan), which covers substantially all associates employed prior to 2007. The plan provides retirement benefits that are based on the length of credited service and final average compensation, as defined in the plan and vest upon three years of service.  In an effort to control expenses, the Board voted to freeze plan benefits effective during 2009, with the exception of certain associates covered through plans obtained by acquisitions.  Individuals will not earn additional benefits, except for interest as required by the IRS regulations, after the effective date.  Associates will retain their previously earned pension benefits.

The following table presents information regarding the plan's net periodic benefit cost for the periods presented ($ in thousands):

Net periodic benefit cost
$ 946 $ 795 $ 2,933 $ 2,431

The acceptable range of contributions to the plan is determined each year by the plan's actuary.  Trustmark's policy is to fund amounts allowable for federal income tax purposes.  The actual amount of the contribution is determined based on the plan's funded status and return on plan assets as of the measurement date, which is December 31.  In July 2012, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21 st Century Act (“MAP-21”) became effective.  Through MAP-21, Congress provides pension sponsors with funding relief by stabilizing interest rates used to determine required funding contributions to defined benefit plans.  Under MAP-21, instead of using a two-year average of these rates, plan sponsors determine required pension funding contributions based on a 25-year average of these rates with a cap and a floor.  For 2012, the cap is set at 110% and the floor is set at 90% of the 25-year average of these rates as of September 30, 2011.  As a result, Trustmark expects its minimum required contribution for 2012 to be reduced from $3.0 million to $1.6 million.  During 2011, Trustmark made a contribution of $1.0 million for the 2011 plan year.
34

Supplemental Retirement Plan

Trustmark maintains a nonqualified supplemental retirement plan covering directors who elected to defer fees, key executive officers and senior officers.  The plan provides for defined death benefits and/or retirement benefits based on a participant's covered salary.  Trustmark has acquired life insurance contracts on the participants covered under the plan, which may be used to fund future payments under the plan.  The measurement date for the plan is December 31.

Stock and Incentive Compensation Plans

Trustmark has granted, and currently has outstanding, stock and incentive compensation awards subject to the provisions of the 1997 Long Term Incentive Plan (the 1997 Plan) and the 2005 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2005 Plan).  New awards have not been issued under the 1997 Plan since it was replaced by the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan is designed to provide flexibility to Trustmark regarding its ability to motivate, attract and retain the services of key associates and directors.  The 2005 Plan allows Trustmark to make grants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units to key associates and directors.

Stock Option Grants

Stock option awards under the 2005 Plan are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Trustmark’s stock on the date of grant.  Stock options granted under the 2005 Plan vest 20% per year and have a contractual term of seven years.  Stock option awards, which were granted under the 1997 Plan, had an exercise price equal to the market price of Trustmark’s stock on the date of grant, vested equally over four years with a contractual ten-year term.  During the second quarter of 2011, compensation expense related to stock options was fully recognized.  Compensation expense for stock options granted under these plans was estimated using the fair value of each option granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and was recognized on the straight-line method over the requisite service period.  No stock options have been granted since 2006, when Trustmark began granting restricted stock awards exclusively.

Restricted Stock Grants

Performance Awards

Trustmark’s performance awards are granted to Trustmark’s executive and senior management team.  Performance awards granted vest based on performance goals of return on average tangible equity (ROATE) or return on average equity (ROAE) and total shareholder return (TSR) compared to a defined peer group.  Awards based on TSR are valued utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate fair value of the awards at the grant date, while ROATE and ROAE awards are valued utilizing the fair value of Trustmark’s stock at the grant date based on the estimated number of shares expected to vest.  The restriction period for performance awards covers a three-year vesting period.  These awards are recognized on the straight-line method over the requisite service period.  These awards provide for excess shares, if performance measures exceed 100%.  Any excess shares granted are restricted for an additional three-year vesting period.  The restricted share agreement provides for voting rights and dividend privileges.

Time-Vested Awards

Trustmark’s time-vested awards are granted to Trustmark’s executive and senior management team in both employee recruitment and retention.  These awards are also granted to Trustmark’s Board of Directors and are restricted for three years from the award dates.  Time-vested awards are valued utilizing the fair value of Trustmark’s stock at the grant date.  These awards are recognized on the straight-line method over the requisite service period.
35

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Unit Award

During 2009, Trustmark’s previous Chairman and CEO was granted a cash-settled performance-based restricted stock unit award (the RSU award) with each unit having the value of one share of Trustmark’s common stock.  The performance period covered a two-year period.  This award was granted in connection with an employment agreement dated November 20, 2008, that provides for in lieu of receiving an equity compensation award in 2010 or 2011, the 2009 equity compensation award to be twice the amount of a normal award, with one-half of the award being performance-based and one-half service-based.  The RSU award was granted outside of the 2005 Plan in lieu of granting shares of performance-based restricted stock that would exceed the annual limit permitted to be granted under the 2005 Plan, in order to satisfy the equity compensation provisions of the employment agreement.  This award provided for excess shares, if performance goals of ROATE and TSR exceeded 100%.  Both the performance awards and excess shares vested during the second quarter of 2011.  Compensation expense for the RSU award was based on the approximate fair value of Trustmark’s stock at the end of each of the reporting periods and was finalized on the vesting date at a share price of $23.65.

Contingencies

Lending Related

Letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Trustmark to insure the performance of a customer to a third party.  Trustmark issues financial and performance standby letters of credit in the normal course of business in order to fulfill the financing needs of its customers.  A financial standby letter of credit irrevocably obligates Trustmark to pay a third-party beneficiary when a customer fails to repay an outstanding loan or debt instrument.  A performance standby letter of credit irrevocably obligates Trustmark to pay a third-party beneficiary when a customer fails to perform some contractual, nonfinancial obligation.  When issuing letters of credit, Trustmark uses essentially the same policies regarding credit risk and collateral, which are followed in the lending process. At September 30, 2012 and 2011, Trustmark’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for letters of credit was $152.9 million and $169.8 million, respectively.  These amounts consist primarily of commitments with maturities of less than three years, which have an immaterial carrying value.  Trustmark holds collateral to support standby letters of credit when deemed necessary.  As of September 30, 2012, the fair value of collateral held was $51.7 million.

Legal Proceedings

Trustmark’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TNB, has been named as a defendant in two lawsuits related to the collapse of the Stanford Financial Group.  The first is a purported class action complaint that was filed on August 23, 2009 in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, by Peggy Roif Rotstain, Guthrie Abbott, Catherine Burnell, Steven Queyrouze, Jaime Alexis Arroyo Bornstein and Juan C. Olano, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, naming TNB and four other financial institutions unaffiliated with the Company as defendants.  The complaint seeks to recover (i) alleged fraudulent transfers from each of the defendants in the amount of fees and other monies received by each defendant from entities controlled by R. Allen Stanford (collectively, the “Stanford Financial Group”) and (ii) damages allegedly attributable to alleged conspiracies by one or more of the defendants with the Stanford Financial Group to commit fraud and/or aid and abet fraud on the asserted grounds that defendants knew or should have known the Stanford Financial Group was conducting an illegal and fraudulent scheme.  Plaintiffs have demanded a jury trial.  Plaintiffs did not quantify damages.  In November 2009, the lawsuit was removed to federal court by certain defendants and then transferred by the United States Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to federal court in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) where multiple Stanford related matters are being consolidated for pre-trial proceedings.  In May 2010, all defendants (including TNB) filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit, and the motions to dismiss have been fully briefed by all parties.  The court has not yet ruled on the defendants’ motions to dismiss.  In August 2010, the court authorized and approved the formation of an Official Stanford Investors Committee to represent the interests of Stanford investors and, under certain circumstances, to file legal actions for the benefit of Stanford investors.  In December 2011, the Official Stanford Investors Committee filed a motion to intervene in this action.  In January 2012, Plaintiffs filed a motion to join the Official Stanford Investors Committee as an additional plaintiff in this action.  Trustmark opposed these two motions.  The court has not yet ruled on the intervention and joinder motions.  In September 2012, the district court referred the case to a magistrate judge for hearing and determination of certain pretrial issues.

The second Stanford-related lawsuit was filed on December 14, 2009 in the District Court of Ascension Parish, Louisiana, individually by Harold Jackson, Paul Blaine, Carolyn Bass Smith, Christine Nichols, and Ronald and Ramona Hebert naming TNB (misnamed as Trust National Bank) and other individuals and entities not affiliated with the Company as defendants.  The complaint seeks to recover the money lost by these individual plaintiffs as a result of the collapse of  the Stanford Financial Group (in addition to other damages) under various theories and causes of action, including negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, conspiracy, and violation of Louisiana’s uniform fiduciary, securities, and racketeering laws.  The complaint does not quantify the amount of money the plaintiffs seek to recover.  In January 2010, the lawsuit was removed to federal court by certain defendants and then transferred by the United States Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to federal court in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) where multiple Stanford related matters are being consolidated for pre-trial proceedings.  On March 29, 2010, the court stayed the case.  TNB filed a motion to lift the stay, which was denied on February 28, 2012.  In September 2012, the district court referred the case to a magistrate judge for hearing and determination of certain pretrial issues.

TNB’s relationship with the Stanford Financial Group began as a result of Trustmark’s acquisition of a Houston-based bank in August 2006, and consisted of correspondent banking and other traditional banking services in the ordinary course of business.  Both Stanford-related lawsuits are in their preliminary stages and have been previously reported in the press and disclosed by Trustmark.

TNB is the defendant in two putative class actions challenging TNB’s practices regarding "overdraft" or "non-sufficient funds" fees charged by TNB in connection with customer use of debit cards, including TNB’s order of processing transactions, notices and calculations of charges, and calculations of fees. Kathy D. White v. TNB was filed in Tennessee state court in Memphis, Tennessee and was removed on June 19, 2012 to the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. (Plaintiff Kathy White had filed an earlier, virtually identical action that was voluntarily dismissed.) Leroy Jenkins v. TNB was filed on June 4, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The White and Jenkins pleadings are matters of public record in the files of the courts. In both cases, the plaintiffs purport to represent classes of similarly-situated customers of TNB. The White complaint asserts claims of breach of contract, breach of a duty of good faith and fair dealing, unconscionability, conversion, and unjust enrichment. The Jenkins complaint includes similar allegations as well as federal-law claims under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA) and RICO.  On July 19, 2012, the plaintiff in the White case filed an amended compliant to add plaintiffs from Mississippi and also to add federal EFTA claims.  Trustmark contends that amended complaint was procedurally improper.  On October 4, 2012, the plaintiff in the White case moved for leave to add two Tennessee plaintiffs.  That motion is pending for decision.  Trustmark has filed preliminary dismissal motions, and discovery has begun, in the White case; the Jenkins case has not yet entered the active discovery stage.  Each of these complaints seeks the imposition of a constructive trust and unquantified damages.  These complaints are largely patterned after similar lawsuits that have been filed against other banks across the country.
37

Trustmark and its subsidiaries are also parties to other lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Some of the lawsuits assert claims related to the lending, collection, servicing, investment, trust and other business activities, and some of the lawsuits allege substantial claims for damages.

All pending legal proceedings described above are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, Management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provision is made for anticipated losses whenever Management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated.  At the present time, Management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel and Management’s evaluation, that (i) the final resolution of pending legal proceedings described above will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial position or results of operations and (ii) a material adverse outcome in any such case is not reasonably possible.

Shareholders' Equity

Trustmark and TNB are subject to minimum capital requirements, which are administered by various federal regulatory agencies.  These capital requirements, as defined by federal guidelines, involve quantitative and qualitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet instruments.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional, discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of Trustmark and TNB.  As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark and TNB have exceeded all of the minimum capital standards for the parent company and its primary banking subsidiary as established by regulatory requirements.  In addition, TNB has met applicable regulatory guidelines to be considered well-capitalized at September 30, 2012.  To be categorized in this manner, TNB must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the accompanying table.  There are no significant conditions or events that have occurred since September 30, 2012, which Management believes have affected TNB's present classification.

Fair Value

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements.  The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that liability in an orderly transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or liability. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, Trustmark uses various valuation techniques and assumptions when estimating fair value.  Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Trustmark has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities and default rates and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own determination about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety is classified is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Trustmark’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The methodologies Trustmark uses in determining the fair values are based primarily on the use of independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected upon exchange of the position in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The large majority of assets that are stated at fair value are of a nature that can be valued using prices or inputs that are readily observable through a variety of independent data providers.  The providers selected by Trustmark for fair valuation data are widely recognized and accepted vendors whose evaluations support the pricing functions of financial institutions, investment and mutual funds, and portfolio managers.  Trustmark has documented and evaluated the pricing methodologies used by the vendors and maintains internal processes that regularly test valuations for anomalies.
40

Trustmark utilizes an independent pricing service to advise it on the carrying value of the securities available for sale portfolio.  As part of Trustmark’s procedures, the price provided from the service is evaluated for reasonableness given market changes.  When a questionable price exists, Trustmark investigates further to determine if the price is valid.  If needed, other market participants may be utilized to determine the correct fair value.  Trustmark has also reviewed and confirmed its determinations in thorough discussions with the pricing source regarding their methods of price discovery.
Mortgage loan commitments are valued based on the securities prices of similar collateral, term, rate and delivery for which the loan is eligible to deliver in place of the particular security.  Trustmark acquires a broad array of mortgage security prices that are supplied by a market data vendor, which in turn accumulates prices from a broad list of securities dealers.  Prices are processed through a mortgage pipeline management system that accumulates and segregates all loan commitment and forward-sale transactions according to the similarity of various characteristics (maturity, term, rate, and collateral).  Prices are matched to those positions that are deemed to be an eligible substitute or offset (i.e., “deliverable”) for a corresponding security observed in the market place.

Trustmark estimates fair value of MSR through the use of prevailing market participant assumptions and market participant valuation processes.  This valuation is periodically tested and validated against other third-party firm valuations.

Trustmark obtains the fair value of interest rate swaps from a third-party pricing service that uses an industry standard discounted cash flow methodology. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk.  In adjusting the fair value of its interest rate swap contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, Trustmark has considered any applicable credit enhancements such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.  In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, Trustmark made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of these derivative financial instruments, which are subject to master netting agreements, on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Trustmark has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swaps offered to qualified commercial borrowers fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, while the credit valuation adjustments associated with these derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads.  Trustmark has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps and has determined that the credit valuation adjustment is not significant to the overall valuation of these derivatives.  As a result, Trustmark classifies its interest rate swap valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Trustmark also utilizes derivative instruments such as Treasury note futures contracts and exchange-traded option contracts to achieve a fair value return that offsets the changes in fair value of MSR attributable to interest rates.  These derivative instruments are exchange-traded and provide inputs, which allow them to be classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, Trustmark utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate lock commitments in its mortgage banking area which lack observable inputs for valuation purposes resulting in their inclusion in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

At this time, Trustmark presents no fair values that are derived through internal modeling.  Should positions requiring fair valuation arise that are not relevant to existing methodologies, Trustmark will make every reasonable effort to obtain market participant assumptions, or independent evaluation.

Trustmark may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Assets at September 30, 2012, which have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, include impaired LHFI.  Loans for which it is probable Trustmark will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Impaired LHFI have been determined to be collateral dependent and assessed using a fair value approach.  Specific allowances for impaired LHFI are based on comparisons of the recorded carrying values of the loans to the present value of the estimated cash flows of these loans at each loan’s original effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral or the observable market prices of the loans.  Fair value estimates begin with appraised values based on the current market value/as-is value of the property being appraised, normally from recently received and reviewed appraisals.  Appraisals are obtained from State-certified Appraisers and are based on certain assumptions, which may include construction or development status and the highest and best use of the property.  These appraisals are reviewed by the Appraisal Review Department to ensure they are acceptable.  Appraised values are adjusted down for costs associated with asset disposal.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark had outstanding balances of $36.5 million in impaired LHFI that were specifically identified for evaluation and written down to fair value of the underlying collateral less cost to sell based on the fair value of the collateral or other unobservable input compared with $68.9 million at December 31, 2011.  These impaired LHFI are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  Impaired LHFI are periodically reviewed and evaluated for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly based on the same factors identified above.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities

Certain nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include foreclosed assets (upon initial recognition or subsequent impairment), nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, and intangible assets and other nonfinancial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment.

Other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, includes assets that have been acquired in satisfaction of debt through foreclosure and is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less the estimated cost of disposition. Fair value is based on independent appraisals and other relevant factors.  In the determination of fair value subsequent to foreclosure, Management also considers other factors or recent developments, such as changes in market conditions from the time of valuation and anticipated sales values considering plans for disposition, which could result in an adjustment to lower the collateral value estimates indicated in the appraisals.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark's geographic loan distribution was concentrated primarily in its four key market regions, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.  The ultimate recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of other real estate, excluding covered other real estate, is susceptible to changes in market conditions in these areas.  Periodic revaluations are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy since assumptions are used that may not be observable in the market.
43

Certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, are remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the foreclosed asset. The fair value of a foreclosed asset, upon initial recognition, is estimated using Level 3 inputs based on adjusted observable market data.  Foreclosed assets measured at fair value upon initial recognition totaled $32.4 million (utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs) during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with $49.0 million for the same period in 2011.  In connection with the measurement and initial recognition of the foregoing foreclosed assets, Trustmark recognized charge-offs of the allowance for loan losses totaling $8.5 million and $6.0 million for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Other than foreclosed assets measured at fair value upon initial recognition, $29.7 million of foreclosed assets were remeasured during the first nine months of 2012, requiring writedowns of $4.8 million to reach their current fair values compared to $56.8 million of foreclosed assets that were remeasured during the first nine months of 2011, requiring writedowns of $10.8 million.

In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are generally based on estimates using present value techniques. Trustmark’s premise in present value techniques is to represent the fair values on a basis of replacement value of the existing instrument given observed market rates on the measurement date.  These techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  In that regard, the derived fair value estimates for those assets or liabilities cannot be necessarily substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realizable in immediate settlement of the instruments.  The estimated fair value of financial instruments with immediate and shorter-term maturities (generally 90 days or less) is assumed to be the same as the recorded book value.  All nonfinancial instruments, by definition, have been excluded from these disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of Trustmark.

The fair values of net LHFI are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.  For variable rate LHFI that reprice frequently with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. The fair values of certain mortgage LHFI, such as 1-4 family residential properties, are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. The fair values of other types of LHFI are estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  The processes for estimating the fair value of net LHFI described above does not represent an exit price under FASB ASC Topic 820 and such an exit price could potentially produce a significantly different fair value estimate at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

For a detailed description of the valuation methodologies used in estimating the fair value of Trustmark’s other financial instruments, see Note 18 in Item 8 of Trustmark’s Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 17 –
Derivative Financial Instruments

Trustmark maintains an overall interest rate risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate volatility.  Trustmark’s interest rate risk management strategy involves modifying the repricing characteristics of certain assets and liabilities so that changes in interest rates do not adversely affect the net interest margin and cash flows.  Under the guidelines of FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” all derivative instruments are required to be recognized as either assets or liabilities and be carried at fair value on the balance sheet.  The fair value of derivative positions outstanding is included in other assets and/or other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and in the net change in these financial statement line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows as well as included in noninterest income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

As part of Trustmark’s risk management strategy in the mortgage banking area, derivative instruments such as forward sales contracts are utilized.  Trustmark’s obligations under forward contracts consist of commitments to deliver mortgage loans, originated and/or purchased, in the secondary market at a future date. These derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815.  The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the forward contracts and changes in the fair value of the loans designated as loans held for sale are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net.  Trustmark’s off-balance sheet obligations under these derivative instruments totaled $391.5 million at September 30, 2012, with a negative valuation adjustment of $7.5 million, compared to $199.5 million, with a negative valuation adjustment of $2.2 million as of December 31, 2011.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments

Trustmark utilizes a portfolio of exchange-traded derivative instruments, such as Treasury note futures contracts and option contracts, to achieve a fair value return that offsets the changes in fair value of MSR attributable to interest rates.  These transactions are considered freestanding derivatives that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting.  Changes in the fair value of these exchange-traded derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by changes in the fair value of MSR.  The MSR fair value represents the present value of future cash flows, which among other things includes decay and the effect of changes in interest rates.  Ineffectiveness of hedging the MSR fair value is measured by comparing the change in value of hedge instruments to the change in the fair value of the MSR asset attributable to changes in interest rates and other market driven changes in valuation inputs and assumptions.  The impact of this strategy resulted in a net negative ineffectiveness of $1.8 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to a net positive ineffectiveness of $2.8 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Trustmark also utilizes derivative instruments such as interest rate lock commitments in its mortgage banking area.  Rate lock commitments are residential mortgage loan commitments with customers, which guarantee a specified interest rate for a specified time period.  Changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of forward sales contracts.  Trustmark’s off-balance sheet obligations under these derivative instruments totaled $254.6 million at September 30, 2012, with a positive valuation adjustment of $4.3 million, compared to $117.5 million, with a positive valuation adjustment of $702 thousand as of December 31, 2011.

Trustmark offers certain derivatives products such as interest rate swaps directly to qualified commercial borrowers seeking to manage their interest rate risk.  Trustmark economically hedges interest rate swap transactions executed with commercial borrowers by entering into offsetting interest rate swap transactions with third parties.  Derivative transactions executed as part of this program are not designated as qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, carried at fair value with the change in fair value recorded in noninterest income in bank card and other fees.  Because these derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, the changes in fair value substantially offset.  As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $262.1 million related to this program, compared to $71.2 million as of December 31, 2011.

Trustmark has agreements with its financial institution counterparties that contain provisions where if Trustmark defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then Trustmark could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of September 30, 2012, the termination value of interest rate swaps in a liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $5.5 million compared to $1.8 million as of December 31, 2011.  As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark had posted collateral with a market value of $1.4 million against its obligations because of negotiated thresholds and minimum transfer amounts under these agreements. If Trustmark had breached any of these triggering provisions at September 30, 2012, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.
45

Credit risk participation agreements arise when Trustmark contracts with other financial institutions, as a guarantor or beneficiary, to share credit risk associated with certain interest rate swaps. These agreements provide for reimbursement of losses resulting from a third party default on the underlying swap. As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark had entered into two risk participation agreements as a beneficiary with an aggregate notional amount of $10.1 million, compared to no transactions as of December 31, 2011. The fair values of these risk participation agreements were immaterial at September 30, 2012.

Segment Information

Trustmark’s management reporting structure includes three segments: General Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance.  General Banking is primarily responsible for all traditional banking products and services, including loans and deposits.  General Banking also consists of internal operations such as Human Resources, Executive Administration, Treasury, Funds Management, Public Affairs and Corporate Finance.  Wealth Management provides customized solutions for affluent customers by integrating financial services with traditional banking products and services such as private banking, money management, full-service brokerage, financial planning, personal and institutional trust and retirement services.  Through Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance, Inc. (FBBI), a wholly owned subsidiary of TNB, Trustmark’s Insurance Division provides a full range of retail insurance products including commercial risk management products, bonding, group benefits and personal lines coverage.

The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of Trustmark except for its internal allocations. Noninterest expenses for back-office operations support are allocated to segments based on estimated uses of those services. Trustmark measures the net interest income of its business segments with a process that assigns cost of funds or earnings credit on a matched-term basis.  This process, called “funds transfer pricing”, charges an appropriate cost of funds to assets held by a business unit, or credits the business unit for potential earnings for carrying liabilities.  The net of these charges and credits flows through to the General Banking segment, which contains the management team responsible for determining the bank's funding and interest rate risk strategies.

Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2012-06, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” Issued in October 2012, ASU 2012-06 addresses the diversity in practice about how to subsequently measure an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution.  The amendments in ASU 2012-06 require a reporting entity to subsequently account for a change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification. ASU 2012-06 further requires that any amortization of changes in value be limited to the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets.  The amendments in ASU 2012-06 are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted.  Trustmark is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2012-06 will have on its financial statements.

ASU 2012-02 , “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment .” Issued in July 2012, ASU 2012-02 amends the guidance in ASC 350-30 on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment.  Under the revised guidance, entities testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test).  If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required.  The ASU does not change how indefinite-lived intangible assets are calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment.  In addition, the ASU does not amend the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider.  The amendments of ASU 2012-02 are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  As Trustmark does not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill, the adoption of ASU 2012-02 will have no impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date of the requirement of ASU 2011-05 to present separate line items on the income statement for reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income.  ASU 2011-12 was issued to allow the FASB time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented.  Entities are still required to present reclassification adjustments within other comprehensive income either on the face of the statement that reports other comprehensive income or in the notes to the financial statements.  All other requirements of ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12.  The requirements of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2012.  For Trustmark, the impact of the ASU is a change in presentation only and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-08 , “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment .” Issued in September 2011, ASU 2011-08 amends the guidance in ASC 350-202 on testing goodwill for impairment.  Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the goodwill impairment test).  If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required.  The ASU does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment.  In addition, the ASU does not amend the requirement to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider.  The amendments became effective for Trustmark’s annual goodwill impairment tests beginning January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have an impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity.  The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively.  Early adoption is permitted.  The ASU became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2012.  For Trustmark, the impact of the ASU is a change in presentation only and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
48

ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements.  While the ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments.  Many of these amendments were made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  However, some could change how fair value measurement guidance is applied.  The ASU became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2012, and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.  The required disclosures are reported in Note 16 – Fair Value.

ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860):  Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the requirement for entities to consider whether a transferor has the ability to repurchase the financial assets in a repurchase agreement.  This requirement was one of the criteria that entities used to determine whether the transferor maintained effective control. Although entities must consider all the effective-control criteria under ASC 860, the elimination of this requirement may lead to more conclusions that a repurchase arrangement should be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale.  The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The ASU became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2012, and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following provides a narrative discussion and analysis of Trustmark Corporation’s (Trustmark) financial condition and results of operations.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the supplemental financial data included elsewhere in this report.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this document constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “hope,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “could,” “future” or the negative of those terms or other words of similar meaning.  You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss our future expectations or state other “forward-looking” information.  These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to anticipated future operating and financial performance measures, including net interest margin, credit quality, business initiatives, growth opportunities and growth rates, among other things, and encompass any estimate, prediction, expectation, projection, opinion, anticipation, outlook or statement of belief included therein as well as the management assumptions underlying these forward-looking statements.  You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described under the caption “Risk Factors” in Trustmark’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in this report could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should any such underlying assumptions prove to be significantly different, actual results may vary significantly from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.

Risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations of Management include, but are not limited to, changes in the level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, local, state and national economic and market conditions, including the extent and duration of the current volatility in the credit and financial markets, changes in our ability to measure the fair value of assets in our portfolio, material changes in the level and/or volatility of market interest rates, the performance and demand for the products and services we offer, including the level and timing of withdrawals from our deposit accounts, the costs and effects of litigation and of unexpected or adverse outcomes in such litigation, our ability to attract noninterest-bearing deposits and other low-cost funds, competition in loan and deposit pricing, as well as the entry of new competitors into our markets through de novo expansion and acquisitions, economic conditions, including the potential impact of the European financial crisis on the U.S. economy and the markets we serve, and monetary and other governmental actions designed to address the level and volatility of interest rates and the volatility of securities, currency and other markets, the enactment of legislation and changes in existing regulations, or enforcement practices, or the adoption of new regulations, changes in accounting standards and practices, including changes in the interpretation of existing standards, that affect our consolidated financial statements, changes in consumer spending, borrowings and savings habits, technological changes, changes in the financial performance or condition of our borrowers, changes in our ability to control expenses, changes in our compensation and benefit plans, greater than expected costs or difficulties related to the integration of acquisitions or new products and lines of business, natural disasters, environmental disasters, acts of war or terrorism, the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed merger with BancTrust Financial Group, Inc., (BancTrust), including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of required regulatory approvals of the proposed merger that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the merger, the ability to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers as well as the ability to successfully integrate the business and realize cost savings and any other synergies and the risk that the credit ratings of the combined company or its subsidiaries may be different from what the companies expect, the risk that the proposed merger with BancTrust is terminated prior to completion and results in significant transaction costs to Trustmark, and other risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any of this information, whether as the result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.

Description of Business
Trustmark, a Mississippi business corporation incorporated in 1968, is a bank holding company headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi.  Trustmark’s principal subsidiary is Trustmark National Bank (TNB), initially chartered by the State of Mississippi in 1889.  At September 30, 2012, TNB had total assets of $9.8 billion, which represents approximately 99% of the consolidated assets of Trustmark.
50

Through TNB and its other subsidiaries, Trustmark operates as a financial services organization providing banking and other financial solutions through approximately 170 offices and 2,632 full-time equivalent associates located in the states of Mississippi, Tennessee (in Memphis and the Northern Mississippi region, which is collectively referred to herein as Trustmark’s Tennessee market), Florida (primarily in the northwest or “Panhandle” region of that state which is referred to herein as Trustmark’s Florida market) and Texas (primarily in Houston, which is referred to herein as Trustmark’s Texas market).  The principal products produced and services rendered by TNB and Trustmark’s other subsidiaries are as follows:
Trustmark National Bank
Commercial Banking – TNB provides a full range of commercial banking services to corporations and other business customers.  Loans are provided for a variety of general corporate purposes, including financing for commercial and industrial projects, income producing commercial real estate, owner-occupied real estate and construction and land development.  TNB also provides deposit services, including checking, savings and money market accounts and certificates of deposit as well as treasury management services.

Consumer Banking – TNB provides banking services to consumers, including checking, savings, and money market accounts as well as certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts.  In addition, TNB provides consumer customers with installment and real estate loans and lines of credit.

Mortgage Banking – TNB provides mortgage banking services, including construction financing, production of conventional and government insured mortgages, secondary marketing and mortgage servicing.  At September 30, 2012, TNB’s mortgage loan portfolio totaled approximately $1.158 billion, while its portfolio of mortgage loans serviced for others, including, FNMA, FHLMC and GNMA, totaled approximately $4.974 billion.

Insurance TNB provides a competitive array of insurance solutions for business and individual risk management needs.  Business insurance offerings include services and specialized products for medical professionals, construction, manufacturing, hospitality, real estate and group life and health plans.  Individual customers are also provided life and health insurance, and personal line policies.  TNB provides these services through Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance, Inc. (FBBI), a Mississippi corporation which is based in Jackson, Mississippi.

Wealth Management and Trust Services – TNB offers specialized services and expertise in the areas of wealth management, trust, investment and custodial services for corporate and individual customers.  These services include the administration of personal trusts and estates as well as the management of investment accounts for individuals, employee benefit plans and charitable foundations.  TNB also provides corporate trust and institutional custody, securities brokerage, financial and estate planning, retirement plan services as well as life insurance and other risk management services provided by FBBI.  TNB’s wealth management division is also served by Trustmark Investment Advisors, Inc. (TIA), a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)-registered investment adviser.  TIA provides customized investment management services for TNB.  During the third quarter of 2012, Trustmark completed the sale and reorganization of $929 million of assets managed by TIA for the Performance Funds Trust (Performance Funds) to Federated Investors, Inc. (Federated) and certain of Federated’s subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of the previously announced definitive agreement between Federated, TIA, and TNB.  TIA no longer serves as investment adviser or custodian to the Performance Funds.  However, Performance Funds held by Trustmark wealth management clients at the time of the reorganization were converted to various pre-determined Federated funds, and remain in Trustmark wealth management accounts.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark held assets under management and administration of $6.932 billion and brokerage assets of $1.266 billion.

Executive Overview

While the economy has shown moderate signs of improvement, the outlook remains uncertain.  Both unemployment and consumer confidence were reported to have improved by the end of the third quarter of 2012.  Estimated employment growth in the United States was reported to have grown during the third quarter of 2012 to average approximately 145,000 jobs created per month, compared to a reported average of 75,000 jobs created per month during the second quarter.  The United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the national unemployment rate decreased to 7.8% in September 2012.  This was the first time the unemployment rate was reported to be below 8.0% in 44 months.  Consumer confidence was reported to have improved in September 2012; these reports indicate that consumers were slightly more optimistic regarding current business and labor market conditions.  Doubts surrounding the sustainability of these signs of improvement are expected to persist for some time, especially as the magnitude of economic distress facing local markets place continued pressure on asset growth, asset quality and earnings, with the potential for undermining the stability of the banking organizations that serve these markets.

The European financial crisis has created risks and uncertainties affecting the global economy.  As global markets react to the European financial crisis and potential economic policy changes in Europe, assets, liabilities and cash flows with no direct connection to the Eurozone could be influenced.  The potential impact on markets within the United States and on the economy of the United States is difficult to predict.  Trustmark has no direct or indirect exposure to any debt of European sovereign and non-sovereign issuers, nor is it dependent upon any funding sources in the Eurozone for any short- or long-term liquidity.  However, Trustmark, as a member of the global economy, could be indirectly affected if events in the Eurozone broadly cause widening of interest rate spreads or otherwise increase global market volatility.

Management has continued to carefully monitor the impact of illiquidity in the financial markets, values of securities and other assets, loan performance, default rates and other financial and macro economic indicators in order to navigate the challenging economic environment.  To reduce exposure to certain loan categories, Management has continued to reduce certain loan classifications, including construction, land development and other land loans and indirect auto loans.  Trustmark has continued to experience significant improvements in credit quality.  As of September 30, 2012, classified loan balances decreased $71.1 million, or 20.6%, while criticized loan balances decreased $69.0 million, or 16.5%, when compared to balances at September 30, 2011.

TNB did not make significant changes to its loan underwriting standards during the first nine months of 2012.  TNB’s willingness to make loans to qualified applicants that meet its traditional, prudent lending standards has not changed.  TNB adheres to interagency guidelines regarding concentration limits of commercial real estate loans.  As a result of the economic downturn, TNB remains cautious in granting credit involving certain categories of real estate as well as making exceptions to its loan policy.

Management has continued its practice of maintaining excess funding capacity to provide Trustmark with adequate liquidity for its ongoing operations.  In this regard, Trustmark benefits from its strong deposit base, its highly liquid investment portfolio and its access to funding from a variety of external funding sources such as upstream Federal funds lines, FHLB advances and brokered deposits.

On May 29, 2012, Trustmark and BancTrust Financial Group, Inc. (BancTrust) announced the signing of a definitive agreement pursuant to which BancTrust will merge into Trustmark.  On October 9, 2012, Trustmark and BancTrust announced that the definitive agreement dated May 28, 2012, pursuant to which BancTrust will merge into Trustmark, has been amended to extend the latest possible closing date for the merger from December 31, 2012, to February 28, 2013. This extension provides additional time in which to receive regulatory approval as well as to ensure a smooth transition and operational conversion to Trustmark systems in early 2013. All other material aspects of the definitive agreement remain unchanged.  See Note 2 – Business Combinations for additional information.

Critical Accounting Policies

Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and follow general practices within the financial services industry.  Application of these accounting principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  These estimates, assumptions and judgments are based on information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, actual financial results could differ from those estimates.

Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments and, as such, have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported.  There have been no significant changes in Trustmark’s critical accounting estimates during the first nine months of 2012.

52

Recent Legislative and Regulatory Developments
On June 4, 2012, the Federal Reserve Board, FDIC and the OCC jointly issued proposed rules to enhance regulatory capital requirements.  The proposed rules are designed to address shortcomings in the existing regulatory capital requirements that became evident during the recent financial crisis by implementing in the United States changes made to international regulatory standards by the Basel Committee.  The proposed rules would revise the federal banking agencies’ current minimum risk-based and leverage capital ratio requirements, among other ways, to introduce new calculation methods for the “standardized” risk-based denominator; adopt a minimum common equity risk-based capital requirement and regulatory capital buffers above the minimum risk-based capital requirements; and more generally restructure the agencies’ capital rules into a harmonized, integrated regulatory framework.  The proposed rules would apply to all depository institutions, bank holding companies with consolidated assets of $500 million or more, and savings and loan holding companies.  The proposed rules also address the relevant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, including removal of references to credit ratings in the capital rules and implementation of a capital floor, known as the “Collins Amendment.”  Most aspects of the new rules would, as proposed, become effective as of January 1, 2013, with a phase-in period that extends, in some cases, until January 1, 2019.  If implemented, it is expected that banking organizations subject to the proposed rules, including Trustmark, will be required to hold a greater amount of capital and a greater amount of common equity, than they are currently required to hold.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) into law.  The Dodd-Frank Act represents very broad and complex legislation that enacts sweeping changes to the financial services industry.  As the Dodd-Frank Act continues to turn into specific regulatory requirements, there will be further business impacts across a myriad of industries, not just banking.  Some of those impacts are readily anticipated such as the change to interchange fees, which can be found in the Bank Card and Other Fees section of Noninterest Income included elsewhere in this document.  However, other impacts are subtle and do not stem directly from language in the new law.  Many of these more subtle impacts will likely only emerge after months and perhaps years of further analysis and evaluation.  In addition, certain provisions that affect deposit insurance assessments, payment of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees could increase the costs associated with deposits as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate.  Finally, implementation of certain significant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act will continue to occur over a multi-year period.  Because many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to further rulemaking and will take effect over several years, it is difficult to anticipate the potential impact on Trustmark and its customers.  It is clear, however, that the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act will require Management to invest significant time and resources to evaluate the potential impact of this Act.  Management will continue to evaluate this impact as more details regarding the implementation of these provisions become available.

Financial Highlights

Trustmark reported net income available to common shareholders of $29.9 million, or basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.46, in the third quarter of 2012 compared to $27.0 million, or basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.42, in the third quarter of 2011.  Trustmark's performance during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, produced a return on average tangible common equity of 12.61% and a return on average assets of 1.21% compared to a return on average tangible common equity of 12.04% and a return on average assets of 1.12% during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Trustmark's net income available to common shareholders totaled $89.6 million or basic and diluted earnings per common share of $1.39 and $1.38, respectively, an increase of $7.0 million and $0.10 and $0.09 when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  Trustmark's performance during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, produced a return on average tangible common equity of 12.91% and a return on average assets of 1.22%, an increase of 0.11% and 0.07% when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.   Trustmark’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per common share.  The dividend is payable December 15, 2012, to shareholders of record on December 1, 2012.

At September 30, 2012, nonperforming assets, excluding acquired loans and covered other real estate, totaled $163.1 million, a decrease of $26.4 million, or 13.9%, compared to December 31, 2011, and total nonaccrual loans held for investment (LHFI) were $80.7 million, representing a decrease of $29.8 million relative to December 31, 2011.  Total net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $13.3 million compared to total net charge-offs of $27.7 million for the same time period in 2011.

An acceleration or significantly extended deterioration in loan performance and default levels, a significant increase in foreclosure activity, a material decline in the value of Trustmark’s assets (including loans and investment securities), or any combination of more than one of these trends could have a material adverse effect on Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations.
53

On March 16, 2012, TNB completed its merger with Bay Bank & Trust Company (Bay Bank).  Trustmark paid consideration of approximately $22 million in cash and stock for all outstanding shares of Bay Bank common stock.  At September 30, 2012, the carrying value of loans and deposits acquired from Bay Bank was $81.1 million and $185.6 million, respectively.  Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, reflected a nonrecurring bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million which was partially offset by nonrecurring merger expenses of $1.6 million, net of taxes.  Collectively, the net impact of these two items increased net income in the first nine months of 2012 by approximately $2.0 million, or approximately $0.03 per share.  TNB initially recorded a bargain purchase gain of $2.8 million during the first quarter of 2012 and subsequently increased the bargain purchase gain $881 thousand during the second quarter of 2012 as the fair values associated with the Bay Bank acquisition were finalized.    The bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million was recognized as other noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Included in noninterest expense are non-routine Bay Bank transaction expenses totaling approximately $2.6 million (these included change in control and severance expense of $672 thousand included in salaries and employee benefits and contract termination and other expenses of $1.9 million included in other expense).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to capital ratios defined by GAAP and banking regulators, Trustmark utilizes various tangible common equity measures when evaluating capital utilization and adequacy.  Tangible common equity, as defined by Trustmark, represents common equity less goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.

Trustmark believes these measures are important because they reflect the level of capital available to withstand unexpected market conditions. Additionally, presentation of these measures allows readers to compare certain aspects of Trustmark’s capitalization to other organizations.  These ratios differ from capital measures defined by banking regulators principally in that the numerator excludes shareholders’ equity associated with preferred securities, the nature and extent of which varies across organizations.

These calculations are intended to complement the capital ratios defined by GAAP and banking regulators.  Because GAAP does not include these capital ratio measures, Trustmark believes there are no comparable GAAP financial measures to these tangible common equity ratios. Despite the importance of these measures to Trustmark, there are no standardized definitions for them and, as a result, Trustmark’s calculations may not be comparable with other organizations. In addition, there may be limits in the usefulness of these measures to investors. As a result, Trustmark encourages readers to consider its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.  The following table reconciles Trustmark’s calculation of these measures to amounts reported under GAAP.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the principal component of Trustmark’s income stream and represents the difference, or spread, between interest and fee income generated from earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed funds.  Fluctuations in interest rates, as well as volume and mix changes in earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, can materially impact net interest income. The net interest margin (NIM) is computed by dividing fully taxable equivalent net interest income by average interest-earning assets and measures how effectively Trustmark utilizes its interest-earning assets in relationship to the interest cost of funding them.  The accompanying Yield/Rate Analysis Table shows the average balances for all assets and liabilities of Trustmark and the interest income or expense associated with earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  The yields and rates have been computed based upon interest income and expense adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis using a 35% federal marginal tax rate for all periods shown.  Loans on nonaccrual have been included in the average loan balances, and interest collected prior to these loans having been placed on nonaccrual has been included in interest income.  Loan fees included in interest associated with the average loan balances are immaterial.

As previously discussed, Trustmark (through TNB) acquired Bay Bank on March 16, 2012.  This acquisition resulted in additional net interest income of $1.6 million and $3.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and year to date growth in both average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities of $84.1 million and $96.5 million, respectively, which are also included in the current period balances shown in the following three paragraphs.

Net interest income-FTE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, decreased $439 thousand, or 0.5%, and $1.4 million, or 0.5%, respectively, when compared with the same periods in 2011.  The net interest margin decreased 11 basis points to 4.14% for the first nine months of 2012, compared with the same time period in 2011.  The decrease in net interest margin is primarily a result of a downward repricing of loans and securities, partially offset by modest declines in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.

Average interest-earning assets for the first nine months of 2012 were $8.700 billion, compared with $8.515 billion for the same time period in 2011, an increase of $185.1 million.  The growth in average earning assets was primarily due to an increase in average total securities of $204.8 million, or 8.6%, during the first nine months of 2012.  The increase in securities, which resulted primarily from purchases of U.S. Government-sponsored agency guaranteed securities net of maturities and paydowns, was partially offset by a decrease in average other earning assets of $5.5 million, or 14.7%, during the first nine months of 2012.  The decrease in average other earning assets is due to a decrease in FHLB and FRB stock of $5.5 million, or 17.3%, and a decrease in exchange-traded derivative instruments of $2.5 million, or 42.0%, during the first nine months of 2012.  During the first nine months of 2012, interest on securities-taxable decreased $6.8 million, or 11.7%, as the yield on taxable securities decreased 68 basis points when compared with the same time period in 2011 due to the run-off of higher yielding securities replaced at lower yields.  During the first nine months of 2012, interest and fees on loans-FTE decreased $4.0 million, or 1.7%, due to lower average loan balances while the yield on loans fell slightly to 5.15% compared to 5.23% during the same time period in 2011. As a result of these factors, interest income-FTE decreased $11.0 million, or 3.6%, when the first nine months of 2012 is compared with the same time period in 2011. The impact of these changes is also illustrated by the decline in the yield on total earning assets, which fell from 4.78% for the first nine months of 2011 to 4.51% for the same time period in 2012, a decrease of 27 basis points.

Average interest-bearing liabilities for the first nine months of 2012 totaled $6.462 billion compared with $6.565 billion for the same time period in 2011, a decrease of $103.0 million, or 1.6%.  During the first nine months of 2012, average interest-bearing deposits increased $97.0 million, or 1.7%, while the combination of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings decreased by $200.0 million, or 26.4%. The overall yield on interest-bearing liabilities declined 19 basis points during the first nine months of 2012 when compared with the same time period in 2011, primarily due to a reduction in the costs of certificates of deposit and high yield money market accounts.  As a result of these factors, total interest expense for the first nine months of 2012 decreased $9.6 million, or 28.4%, when compared with the same time period in 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses, LHFI
The provision for loan losses, LHFI is determined by Management as the amount necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses, LHFI to a level, which, in Management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable losses within the existing loan portfolio.  The provision for loan losses, LHFI reflects loan quality trends, including the levels of and trends related to nonaccrual LHFI, past due LHFI, potential problem LHFI, criticized LHFI, net charge-offs or recoveries and growth in the LHFI portfolio among other factors.  Accordingly, the amount of the provision reflects both the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses, LHFI related to newly identified criticized LHFI, as well as the actions taken related to other LHFI including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan pools.  As shown in the table below, the provision for loan losses, LHFI for the nine months of 2012 totaled $7.3 million, or 0.16% of average loans, compared with $23.6 million, or 0.52% of average loans, for the same time period in 2011.  Reduced loan provisioning during the first nine months of 2012 was a result of decreased levels of criticized LHFI, lower net charge-offs, adequate reserves established in prior periods for both new and existing impaired LHFI, net loan risk rate upgrades and a smaller overall loan portfolio.

Trustmark continues to devote significant resources to managing credit risks resulting from the slowdown in commercial developments of residential real estate.  Management believes that the construction and land development portfolio is appropriately risk rated and adequately reserved based on current conditions.

See the section captioned “LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI” elsewhere in this discussion for further analysis of the provision for loan losses, LHFI, which includes the table of nonperforming assets.

Provision for Loan Losses, Acquired Loans

The provision for loans losses, acquired loans was $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to no provision for the same period in 2011. Provisions for loans losses, acquired loans are recognized subsequent to acquisition to the extent it is probable that Trustmark will be unable to collect all cash flows expected at acquisition plus additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition, considering both the timing and amount of those expected cash flows. Provisions may be required when actual losses of unpaid principal incurred exceed previous loss expectations to date, or future cash flows previously expected to be collectible are no longer probable of collection. The provision for loan losses, acquired loans, is reflected as a valuation allowance netted against the carrying value of the acquired loans balance accounted for under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, in accordance with the guidance.

Noninterest Income

Trustmark’s noninterest income continues to play an important role in improving net income and total shareholder value.  Noninterest income represented 34.5% and 33.7% of total revenue, before securities gains, net for the first three and nine months of 2012 and 34.1% and 32.8% of total revenue, before securities gains, net for the first three and nine months of 2011, respectively.  Total noninterest income before securities gains, net for the first nine months of 2012 totaled $131.4 million, an increase of $4.4 million, or 3.5%, when compared to the same period in 2011.  The comparative components of noninterest income for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are shown in the accompanying table:

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts during the first nine months of 2012 totaled $38.0 million, a decrease of $478 thousand from the same time period in 2011.  This slight decrease was due to a decrease in non-sufficient funds/overdraft fees of approximately $1.0 million, partially offset by the increase in services charges resulting from the monthly service charge fee on a personal account product Trustmark began offering during the fourth quarter of 2011.  As previously reported, Trustmark has continued to review selected components of its overdraft programs, specifically its processing sequences.  Trustmark implemented a modification to the processing sequence component of its overdraft programs on October 1, 2012.  Management estimates this modification could reduce service charges included in noninterest income by approximately $3.0 million on an annual basis in future periods.
Mortgage Banking, Net

Net revenues from mortgage banking were $29.6 million during the first nine months of 2012 compared with $20.8 million for the same time period in 2011.  As shown in the accompanying table, net mortgage servicing income increased to $11.8 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $11.1 million for the same time period in 2011.  Loans serviced for others totaled $4.974 billion at September 30, 2012 compared with $4.446 billion at September 30, 2011.

Representing a significant component of mortgage banking income are gains on the sales of loans, which equaled $21.9 million during the first nine months of 2012 (including $9.1 million during the third quarter) compared with $7.3 million for the same time period in 2011 (including $2.4 million during the third quarter).  The increase in the gain on sales of loans during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted from an increase in loan sales from secondary marketing activities as well as higher profit margins.  Loan sales totaled $513.8 million during the third quarter of 2012 and $1.309 billion during the first nine months of 2012, an increase of $293.0 million and $651.8 million when compared with the same time periods in 2011.

As part of Trustmark’s risk management strategy, exchange-traded derivative instruments are utilized to offset changes in the fair value of MSR attributable to changes in interest rates.  Changes in the fair value of these exchange-traded derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of MSR.  The MSR fair value represents the present value of future cash flows, which among other things includes decay and the effect of changes in interest rates.  Ineffectiveness of hedging the MSR fair value is measured by comparing the change in value of hedge instruments to the change in the fair value of the MSR asset attributable to changes in interest rates and other market driven changes in valuation inputs and assumptions. The impact of this strategy resulted in a net negative ineffectiveness of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a net positive ineffectiveness of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as well as a net negative ineffectiveness of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a net positive ineffectiveness of $4.8 million experienced for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The net negative ineffectiveness is a result of the spread contraction between primary mortgage rates and yields on the ten-year Treasury note partially offset by hedge income produced by a steep yield curve and option premium.

Other mortgage banking income, net increased by approximately $3.4 million when comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2012 with the same period in 2011 and resulted primarily from a net valuation increase in the fair value of loans held for sale, interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts.

Bank Card and Other Fees

Bank card and other fees totaled $22.5 million during the first nine months of 2012 compared with $20.4 million for the same time period in 2011.  Bank card and other fees consist primarily of fees earned on bank card products as well as fees on various bank products and services and safe deposit box fees. The increase was primarily the result of increased debit card usage and commercial credit related fee income.

The Dodd-Frank Act amended the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to authorize the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) to issue regulations regarding any interchange fee that an issuer may receive or charge for an electronic debit card transaction.  On June 29, 2011, the FRB issued a final rule (Regulation II - Debit Card Interchange Fees and Routing) establishing standards for debit card interchange fees.  Under the final rule, the maximum permissible interchange fee that an issuer may receive for an electronic debit transaction will be the sum of 21 cents per transaction and five basis points multiplied by the value of the transaction.  This provision regarding debit card interchange fees was effective as of October 1, 2011.  In addition, the FRB also approved an interim rule that allows for an upward adjustment of no more than one cent to an issuer's debit card interchange fee if the issuer develops and implements policies and procedures reasonably designed to achieve the fraud-prevention standards set out in the interim rule.  The fraud-prevention adjustment was effective as of October 1, 2011, concurrent with the debit card interchange fee limits.

In accordance with the statute, issuers that, together with their affiliates, have assets of less than $10.0 billion on the annual measurement date (December 31) are exempt from the debit card interchange fee standards.  At December 31, 2011, Trustmark had assets of less than $10.0 billion; therefore, no impact of the FRB final rule (Regulation II - Debit Card Interchange Fees and Routing) to noninterest income is expected during 2012. However, if and when Trustmark has assets of greater than $10.0 billion, the effect of the FRB final rule could reduce noninterest income by approximately $6.0 million to $8.0 million on an annual basis.  Trustmark expects to have assets greater than $10.0 billion following the closing of the proposed merger with BancTrust which, subject to approval by regulatory authorities and BancTrust’s shareholders, is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2013.  Trustmark therefore expects that it will have assets greater than $10.0 billion as of the December 31 measurement date in 2013 and will have to come into compliance with the debit card interchange fee standards by July 1, 2014.  For more information on the proposed merger with BancTrust, please see Note 2 - Business Combinations in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.  Management is continuing to evaluate Trustmark’s product structure and services to offset the anticipated impact of the FRB final rule.
Insurance Commissions
Insurance commissions were $21.3 million during the first nine months of 2012 compared with $20.9 million for the same time period in 2011.  The increase in insurance commissions experienced during the first nine months of 2012 was led by commission volume on commercial property and casualty policies and by a small improvement in personal coverage.  Improvements in these business lines compensated for a small decline in construction bonding due to a weak contractors’ market and lower life insurance sales.  Downward rate pressures on insurable risks have begun to subside, with some lines experiencing price increases as renewals occur.  General business activity outside of construction has slightly improved which resulted in a small increase in the demand for coverage on inventories, property, equipment, general liability and workers’ compensation.

Wealth Management

Wealth management income totaled $16.9 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared with $17.7 million for the same time period in 2011.  Wealth management consists of income related to investment management, trust and brokerage services.  The revenue declines are mostly attributable to investment advisory services on the Performance Funds and retirement plan services.  At September 30, 2012 and 2011, Trustmark held assets under management and administration of $6.932 billion and $7.211 billion, respectively, and brokerage assets of $1.266 billion and $1.134 billion, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2012, Trustmark completed the sale and reorganization of $929 million of assets managed by TIA for the Performance Funds to Federated and certain of Federated’s subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of the previously announced definitive agreement between Federated, TIA, and TNB. The sale resulted in a payment of $1.2 million to Trustmark, which was recorded as other miscellaneous income.

TIA no longer serves as investment adviser or custodian to the Performance Funds.  However, Performance Funds held by Trustmark wealth management clients at the time of the reorganization were converted to various pre-determined Federated funds, and remain in Trustmark wealth management accounts.  While not a material transaction financially, this transaction will allow Trustmark to fully embrace open architecture in its wealth management business and focus additional resources on managing client relationships.

Other income, net for the first nine months of 2012 was $3.1 million compared with $8.8 million for the same time period in 2011.  The decrease of $5.7 million during the first nine months of 2012 reflects a writedown of the FDIC indemnification asset of $2.9 million on acquired covered loans obtained from Heritage as a result of loans payoffs and improved cash flow projections and lower loss expectations for loans pools combined with a bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million resulting from TNB’s acquisition of Bay Bank during the first quarter of 2012.  The change in 2012 was more than offset by a bargain purchase gain of $7.5 million resulting from TNB’s acquisition of Heritage during the second quarter of 2011.  During the first quarter of 2012, Trustmark initially recorded a bargain purchase gain of $2.8 million on the Bay Bank acquisition which was subsequently increased by $881 thousand during the second quarter of 2012 as the fair values associated with the acquisition were finalized.  The increase in other miscellaneous income for the first nine months of 2012 was primarily due to the $1.2 million payment from the sale of the Performance Funds by TIA and the receipt of a $780 thousand non-refundable arranger fee as lead syndicator for a large syndicated loan.
Noninterest Expense

Trustmark’s noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2012 increased $10.3 million, or 4.2%, when compared with the same period in 2011.  Excluding business combinations, noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2012 increased $4.7 million, or 1.9%, when compared with the same time period in 2011.  The increase during the first nine months of 2012 was primarily attributable to growth in salaries and benefits, loan expenses, and non-routine transaction expenses relating to the Bay Bank acquisition, offset by declines in other real estate writedowns and FDIC assessment expense.  Management considers disciplined expense management a key area of focus in the support of improving shareholder value. The comparative components of noninterest expense for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are shown in the accompanying table:

Salaries and Employee Benefits

Salaries and employee benefits, the largest category of noninterest expense, were $140.8 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared with $132.9 million for the same time period in 2011.  This increase primarily reflects modest general merit increases, higher general incentive costs resulting from improved corporate performance, higher costs for employee retirement programs as well as $2.2 million in additional salaries and employee benefits resulting from the Bay Bank acquisition.  Salaries and employee benefits expense for Bay Bank included a non-routine transaction expense of $672 thousand for change in control and severance expense.

ORE/Foreclosure Expense

ORE/Foreclosure expense totaled $8.0 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared with $13.5 million for the same time period in 2011.  The decline in ORE/Foreclosure expense can be primarily attributed to a decrease in other real estate writedowns of $6.1 million, or 56.2%, during the first nine months of 2012.  The decrease in other real estate writedowns is a result of stabilizing property values and adequate reserves established in prior periods.

FDIC Assessment Expense

During the first nine months of 2012, FDIC insurance expense decreased $1.1 million, or 16.5% when compared with the same time period in 2011 and resulted from the implementation of the FDIC’s revised deposit insurance assessment methodology implemented during the second quarter of 2011.  As required by the Dodd-Frank Act, on April 1, 2011, the FDIC revised the deposit insurance assessment system to base assessments on the average total consolidated assets of insured depository institutions less the average tangible equity during the assessment period.  In addition, the Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum reserve ratio for the Deposit Insurance Fund from 1.15% to 1.35% of estimated insurable deposits, or the comparable percentage of the assessment base by September 30, 2020.  The FDIC must offset the effect of the increase in the minimum reserve ratio on insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10.0 billion.  With total assets slightly below $10.0 billion at September 30, 2012, Trustmark benefitted from the change in the assessment methodology.  As discussed above, Trustmark expects to have assets greater than $10.0 billion following the closing of the proposed merger with BancTrust which, subject to approval by regulatory authorities and BancTrust’s shareholders, is expected to occur in the first quarter of 2013.  Management estimates the resulting change in the assessment methodology would have an immaterial impact on Trustmark’s results of operations.

During the first nine months of 2012, other expenses increased $7.3 million, or 23.4%, compared to the same time period in 2011. The growth in other expenses during the first nine months of 2012 was primarily due to non-routine Bay Bank acquisition transaction expenses and an increase in loan expenses of $4.5 million that resulted primarily from higher mortgage loan servicing putback expenses (further explained below), which totaled $7.2 million and $2.5 million during the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the second quarter of 2012, Trustmark updated its quarterly analysis of mortgage loan repurchase exposure.  This analysis, along with recent mortgage industry trends, resulted in Trustmark providing an additional reserve of approximately $4.0 million in the second quarter of 2012.

During the third quarter of 2012, other expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 11.4%, compared to the same period in 2011.  This decline was primarily related to a reduction in loan expenses due to lower mortgage loan servicing putback expenses.  During the third quarter of 2012, Trustmark updated its quarterly analysis of mortgage loan repurchase exposure and determined no additional reserve was necessary, thus resulting in a decrease in loan expenses when compared with the same period in 2011.

During the normal course of business, Trustmark's mortgage banking operations originates and sells certain loans to investors in the secondary market.  Trustmark has continued to experience a manageable level of investor repurchase demands.  Trustmark is subject to losses in its loan servicing portfolio due to loan foreclosures.  Trustmark has obligations to either repurchase the outstanding principal balance of a loan or make the purchaser whole for the economic benefits of a loan if it is determined that the loan sold was in violation of representations or warranties made by Trustmark at the time of the sale, herein referred to as mortgage loan servicing putback expenses.  Such representations and warranties typically include those made regarding loans that had missing or insufficient file documentation and/or loans obtained through fraud by borrowers or other third parties.  At September 30, 2012, the reserve for mortgage loan repurchases totaled $8.6 million.  Notwithstanding significant changes in future behaviors and the demand patterns of investors, Trustmark believes that it has appropriately reserved for potential mortgage loan repurchase requests.

Segment Information

Results of Segment Operations

Trustmark’s operations are managed along three operating segments: General Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance.  General Banking is primarily responsible for all traditional banking products and services, including loans and deposits.  For financial information by reportable segment, please see Note 18 – Segment Information in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.  The following discusses changes in the financial results of each reportable segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

General Banking
The General Banking Division is responsible for all traditional banking products and services including a full range of commercial and consumer banking services such as checking accounts, savings programs, overdraft facilities, commercial, installment and real estate loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, drive-in and night deposit services and safe deposit facilities offered through approximately 170 offices in Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.  The General Banking Division also consists of internal operations that include Human Resources, Executive Administration, Treasury (Funds Management), Public Affairs and Corporate Finance.  Included in these operational units are expenses related to mergers, mark-to-market adjustments on loans and deposits, general incentives, stock options, supplemental retirement and amortization of core deposits.  Other than Treasury, these business units are support-based in nature and are largely responsible for general overhead expenditures that are not allocated.
66

TNB’s acquisition of Bay Bank contributed approximately $3.3 million to net interest income, $4.1 million to noninterest income (primarily from bargain purchase gain of $3.6 million) and $5.1 million to noninterest expense of the General Banking Division during the first nine months of 2012, which are also included in the current period balances shown in the following three paragraphs.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $1.3 million when compared with the same time period in 2011.  The decline in net interest income is mostly due to the downward repricing of loans and securities partially offset by modest declines in the cost of interest-bearing deposits.  The provision for loan losses, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 totaled $10.8 million compared to $23.6 million for the same period in 2011, a decrease of $12.8 million, or 54.1%.  For more information on this change, please see the analysis of the Provision for Loan Losses, LHFI located elsewhere in this document.

Noninterest income for the General Banking Division increased $4.6 million during the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same time period in 2011.  Noninterest income for the General Banking Division represents 26.7% of total revenues for the first nine months of 2012 as opposed to 25.6% for the same time period in 2011, and includes service charges on deposit accounts, bank card and other fees, mortgage banking, net, other, net and securities gains, net.  For more information on these noninterest income items, please see the analysis of Noninterest Income located elsewhere in this document.

Noninterest expense for the General Banking Division increased $12.0 million during the first nine months of 2012 when compared with the same time period in 2011.  For more information on these noninterest expense items, please see the analysis of Noninterest Expense located elsewhere in this document.

Wealth Management

The Wealth Management Division has been strategically organized to serve Trustmark’s customers as a financial partner providing reliable guidance and sound, practical advice for accumulating, preserving, and transferring wealth.  The Investment Services group and the Trust group are the primary service providers in this segment.  TIA, a wholly owned subsidiary of TNB that is included in the Wealth Management Division, is a registered investment adviser that provides investment management services to individual and institutional accounts.  During the third quarter of 2012, Trustmark completed the sale of the Performance Funds by TIA to Federated and certain of Federated’s subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of the previously announced definitive agreement between Federated, TIA, and TNB.  While TIA provided investment management services to the Performance Funds until the completion of the sale to Federated, TIA no longer serves as investment advisor or custodian to the Performance Funds.  For more information on the sale of the Performance Funds, please see the description included in Noninterest Income located elsewhere in this document.

During the first nine months of 2012, net income for the Wealth Management Division increased $869 thousand, or 38.9%, when compared to the same time period in 2011.  Noninterest income increased $327 thousand when the first nine months of 2012 are compared to the same time period in 2011.  The increase in noninterest income was due the $1.2 million payment from the sale of the Performance Funds by TIA partially offset by declines in investment advisory services on the Performance Funds and retirement plan services.  For more information on the change in wealth management revenue, please see the analysis included in Noninterest Income located elsewhere in this document.
Insurance

Trustmark’s Insurance Division provides a full range of retail insurance products, including commercial risk management products, bonding, group benefits and personal lines coverage through FBBI, a Mississippi corporation and subsidiary of TNB.
During the first nine months of 2012, net income for the Insurance Division increased $673 thousand, or 24.2%, when compared to the same time period in 2011.  Noninterest income increased $441 thousand when the first nine months of 2012 are compared to the same time period in 2011.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to higher commission volume on commercial property and casualty policies.  For more information on the change in insurance commissions, please see the analysis included in Noninterest Income located elsewhere in this document.

Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Trustmark’s combined effective tax rate was 27.2% compared to 29.1% for the same time period in 2011.  Trustmark invests in partnerships that provide income tax credits on a Federal and/or State basis (i.e., new market tax credits, low income housing tax credits and historical tax credits).  These investments are recorded based on the equity method of accounting, which requires the equity in partnerships losses to be recognized when incurred and are recorded as a reduction in other income.  The income tax credits related to these partnerships are utilized as specifically allowed by income tax law and are recorded as a reduction in income tax expense.  The decrease in Trustmark's effective tax rate is mainly due to increased investment in these partnerships along with the appropriate tax credits and immaterial net increases in permanent items as a percentage of pretax income.
67

Earning Assets

Earning assets serve as the primary revenue streams for Trustmark and are comprised of securities, loans, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements.  Average earning assets totaled $8.700 billion, or 88.8% of total assets, at September 30, 2012, compared with $8.534 billion, or 89.1% of total assets, at December 31, 2011, an increase of $165.7 million, or 1.9%.

Securities
The securities portfolio is utilized by Management to manage interest rate risk, generate interest income, provide liquidity and use as collateral for public deposits and wholesale funding.  Risk and return can be adjusted by altering duration, composition and/or balance of portfolio.  The weighted-average life of the portfolio decreased to 3.3 years at September 30, 2012 compared to 3.6 years at December 31, 2011.

When compared with December 31, 2011, total investment securities increased by $243.2 million during the first nine months of 2012.  This increase resulted primarily from purchases of U.S. Government-sponsored agency (GSE) guaranteed securities, offset by maturities and paydowns.  $26.3 million of the increase in securities can be attributed to the Bay Bank acquisition.  During the first nine months of 2012, Trustmark sold approximately $33.8 million in securities, generating a gain of $1.0 million, compared with $23.0 million sold during the same time period in 2011, which generated a gain of $91 thousand.

Available for sale (AFS) securities are carried at their estimated fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized, net of taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity.  At September 30, 2012, AFS securities totaled $2.724 billion, which represented 98.4% of the securities portfolio, compared to $2.469 billion, or 97.7%, at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, unrealized gains, net on AFS securities totaled $75.7 million compared with unrealized gains, net of $73.7 million at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, AFS securities consisted of obligations of states and political subdivisions, GSE guaranteed mortgage-related securities, direct obligations of U.S. Government sponsored agencies and asset-backed securities.

Held to maturity (HTM) securities are carried at amortized cost and represent those securities that Trustmark both intends and has the ability to hold to maturity.  At September 30, 2012, HTM securities totaled $45.5 million and represented 1.6% of the total portfolio, compared with $57.7 million, or 2.3%, at December 31, 2011.

Management continues to focus on asset quality as one of the strategic goals of the securities portfolio, which is evidenced by the investment of approximately 90% of the portfolio in U.S. Government agency-backed obligations and other Aaa rated securities.  None of the securities owned by Trustmark are collateralized by assets which are considered subprime. Furthermore, outside of membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, Independent Bankers Bank of Florida, and Federal Reserve Bank, Trustmark does not hold any equity investment in government sponsored entities.

As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark did not hold securities of any one issuer with a carrying value exceeding ten percent of total shareholders’ equity, other than certain U.S. Government sponsored agencies which are exempt from inclusion.  Management continues to closely monitor the credit quality as well as the ratings of the debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. Government sponsored entities and held in Trustmark’s securities portfolio in light of issues currently facing these entities.

The table presenting the credit rating of Trustmark’s securities is formatted to show the securities according to the credit rating category, and not by category of the underlying security.  At September 30, 2012, approximately 90.4% of the available for sale securities are rated Aaa and the same is true with respect to 17.2% of held to maturity securities, which are carried at amortized cost.

Loans Held for Sale

At September 30, 2012, loans held for sale totaled $324.9 million, consisting of $268.5 million of residential real estate mortgage loans in the process of being sold to third parties and $56.4 million of Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) optional repurchase loans. At December 31, 2011, loans held for sale totaled $216.6 million, consisting of $157.7 million in residential real estate mortgage loans in the process of being sold to third parties and $58.8 million in GNMA optional repurchase loans.  Please refer to the nonperforming assets table that follows for information on GNMA loans eligible for repurchase which are past due 90 days or more.

GNMA optional repurchase programs allow financial institutions to buy back individual delinquent mortgage loans that meet certain criteria from the securitized loan pool for which the institution provides servicing. At the servicer's option and without GNMA's prior authorization, the servicer may repurchase such a delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100 percent of the remaining principal balance of the loan. This buy-back option is considered a conditional option until the delinquency criteria are met, at which time the option becomes unconditional. When Trustmark is deemed to have regained effective control over these loans under the unconditional buy-back option, the loans can no longer be reported as sold and must be brought back onto the balance sheet as loans held for sale, regardless of whether Trustmark intends to exercise the buy-back option.  These loans are reported as held for sale with the offsetting liability being reported as short-term borrowings.  Trustmark did not exercise its buy-back option on any delinquent loans serviced for GNMA during the first nine months of 2012 or 2011.

LHFI and Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI

LHFI

LHFI at September 30, 2012 totaled $5.528 billion compared to $5.857 billion at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $329.5 million.  These declines are directly attributable to paydowns in 1-4 family mortgage loans as well as a strategic focus to reduce certain loan classifications, specifically construction, land development and other land loans, and the decision in prior years to discontinue indirect consumer auto loan financing.  The 1-4 family mortgage loan portfolio declined $249.4 million due to paydowns in the portfolio since December 31, 2011.  The $13.5 million decline in construction, land development and other land loans can be primarily attributable to reductions in Trustmark’s Florida and Mississippi markets of approximately $17.7 million since December 31, 2011.  The consumer loan portfolio decrease of $61.9 million primarily represents a decrease in the indirect consumer auto portfolio.  The indirect consumer auto portfolio balance at September 30, 2012 was $35.6 million compared with $85.1 million at December 31, 2011.  The declines in these classifications reflect implementation of Management’s determination to reduce overall exposure to these types of assets.

Trustmark makes loans in the normal course of business to certain directors, their immediate families and companies in which they are principal owners.  Such loans are made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility at the time of the transaction.
71

There is no industry standard definition of “subprime loans.”  Trustmark categorizes certain loans as subprime for its purposes using a set of factors, which Management believes are consistent with industry practice.  TNB has not originated or purchased subprime mortgages.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark held “alt A” mortgages with an aggregate principal balance of $3.1 million (0.09% of total LHFI secured by real estate at that date).  These “alt A” loans have been originated by Trustmark as an accommodation to certain Trustmark customers for whom Trustmark determined that such loans were suitable under the purposes of the Fannie Mae “alt A” program and under Trustmark’s loan origination standards.  Trustmark does not have any no-interest loans, other than a small number of loans made to customers that are charitable organizations, the aggregate amount of which is not material to Trustmark’s financial condition or results of operations.

Allowance for Loan Losses, LHFI

The allowance for loan losses, LHFI is established through provisions for estimated loan losses charged against net income.  The allowance reflects Management’s best estimate of the probable loan losses related to specifically identified LHFI as well as probable incurred loan losses in the remaining loan portfolio and requires considerable judgment.  The allowance is based upon Management’s current judgments and the credit quality of the loan portfolio, including all internal and external factors that impact loan collectibility.  Accordingly, the allowance is based upon both past events and current economic conditions.

Trustmark’s allowance has been developed using different factors to estimate losses based upon specific evaluation of identified individual LHFI considered impaired, estimated identified losses on various pools of LHFI and/or groups of risk rated LHFI with common risk characteristics and other external and internal factors of estimated probable losses based on other facts and circumstances.

Trustmark’s allowance for loan loss methodology is based on guidance provided in SAB No. 102 as well as other regulatory guidance.  The level of Trustmark’s allowance reflects Management’s continuing evaluation of specific credit risks, loan loss experience, current loan portfolio growth, present economic, political and regulatory conditions and unidentified losses inherent in the current loan portfolio.  This evaluation takes into account other qualitative factors including recent acquisitions; national, regional and local economic trends and conditions; changes in industry and credit concentration; changes in levels and trends of delinquencies and nonperforming LHFI; changes in levels and trends of net charge-offs; and changes in interest rates and collateral, financial and underwriting exceptions.

Trustmark’s allowance for loan loss methodology delineates the commercial purpose and commercial construction loan portfolios into nine separate loan types (or pools), which had similar characteristics, such as, repayment, collateral and risk profiles.  The nine basic loan pools are further segregated into Trustmark’s four key market regions, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, to take into consideration the uniqueness of each market.  A 10-point risk rating system is utilized for each separate loan pool to apply a reserve factor consisting of quantitative and qualitative components to determine the needed allowance by each loan type.  As a result, there are 360 risk rate factors for commercial loan types.  The nine separate pools are segmented below:

Commercial Purpose Loans
·
Real Estate – Owner Occupied
·
Real Estate – Non-Owner Occupied
·
Working Capital
·
Non-Working Capital
·
Land
·
Lots and Development
·
Political Subdivisions

Commercial Construction Loans
·
1 to 4 Family
·
Non-1 to 4 Family

During the third quarter of 2011, Trustmark altered the quantitative factors of the allowance for loan loss methodology to reflect a twelve-quarter rolling average of net-charge-offs.  The quantitative factors utilized in determining the required reserve are intended to reflect a twelve-quarter rolling average, one quarter in arrears, by loan type within each key market region, unless subsequent market factors suggests that a different method is called for.  This alteration to Trustmark’s methodology allows for a greater sensitivity to current trends, such as economic changes as well as current loss profiles, which creates a more accurate depiction of historical losses.  Prior to converting to a twelve-quarter rolling average, the quantitative factors reflected a three-year rolling average for Trustmark’s commercial loan book of business.
72

The qualitative factors are determined through the utilization of eight separate factors made up of unique characteristics that, when weighted and combined, produce an estimated level of reserve for each loan type.  The qualitative factors considered are the following:

·
National and regional economic trends and conditions
·
Impact of recent performance trends
·
Experience, ability and effectiveness of management
·
Adherence to Trustmark’s loan policies, procedures and internal controls
·
Collateral, financial and underwriting exception trends
·
Credit concentrations
·
Acquisitions
·
Catastrophe

The measure for each qualitative factor is converted to a scale ranging from 0 (No risk) to 100 (High Risk), other than the last two factors, which are applied on a dollar-for-dollar basis, to ensure that the combination of such factors is proportional.  The resulting ratings from the individual factors are weighted and summed to establish the weighted average qualitative factor of a specific loan portfolio within each key market region.  This weighted-average qualitative factor is then distributed over the nine primary loan pools within each key market region based on the ranking by risk of each.

At September 30, 2012, the allowance for loan losses, LHFI was $83.5 million, a decrease of $6.0 million when compared with December 31, 2011.  Total allowance coverage of nonperforming LHFI, excluding impaired LHFI, at September 30, 2012, was 174.1%, compared to 194.2% at December 31, 2011.  Allocation of Trustmark’s $83.5 million allowance for loan losses, LHFI represented 1.79% of commercial LHFI and 0.84% of consumer and home mortgage LHFI, resulting in an allowance to total LHFI of 1.51% as of September 30, 2012.  This compares with an allowance to total LHFI of 1.53% at December 31, 2011, which was allocated to commercial LHFI at 1.91% and to consumer and mortgage LHFI at 0.76%.

Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 2012 totaled $13.3 million, or 0.30% of average loans, compared to $27.7 million, or 0.61% of average loans, during the same time period in 2011.  This decrease can be primarily attributed to a slowing in the decline of property values in commercial developments of residential real estate along with a substantial reduction in auto finance charge-offs.  The net charge-offs exceeded the provisions for Florida and Mississippi for the first nine months of 2012 because a large portion of charge-offs had been fully reserved in prior periods.  Management continues to monitor the impact of real estate values on borrowers and is proactively managing these situations.

Trustmark’s loan policy dictates the guidelines to be followed in determining when a loan is charged-off.  Commercial purpose loans are charged-off when a determination is made that the loan is uncollectible and continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. Consumer loans secured by 1-4 family residential real estate are generally charged-off or written down when the credit becomes severely delinquent, and the balance exceeds the fair value of the property less costs to sell. Non-real estate consumer purpose loans, including both secured and unsecured, are generally charged-off in full during the month in which the loan becomes 120 days past due.  Credit card loans are generally charged-off in full when the loan becomes 180 days past due.

Nonperforming Assets, excluding Acquired Loans and Covered Other Real Estate

Nonperforming assets, excluding acquired loans and covered other real estate, totaled $163.1 million at September 30, 2012, a decrease of $26.4 million relative to December 31, 2011.  Collectively, total nonperforming assets to total nonacquired loans and noncovered other real estate at September 30, 2012 was 2.75% compared to 3.08% at December 31, 2011.  During the first nine months of 2012, nonperforming LHFI decreased $29.8 million, or 27.0%, relative to December 31, 2011 to total $80.7 million, or 1.38% of total nonacquired loans.  Foreclosed real estate, excluding covered other real estate, increased $8.8 million from the prior quarter to total $82.5 million.

Acquired noncovered loans were included in LHFI at December 31, 2011.
On March 16, 2012, TNB completed its merger with Bay Bank.  Loans acquired in the Bay Bank acquisition were evaluated for evidence of credit deterioration since origination and collectability of contractually required payments.  TNB elected to account for all loans acquired in the Bay Bank acquisition as acquired impaired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality,” except for $5.9 million of acquired loans with revolving privileges, which are outside the scope of the guidance. While not all loans acquired from Bay Bank exhibited evidence of significant credit deterioration, accounting for these acquired loans under ASC Topic 310-30 would have materially the same result as the alternative accounting treatment.  The purchase price allocation was deemed preliminary as of March 31, 2012 and was finalized in the second quarter of 2012.

On April 15, 2011, TNB entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC in which TNB agreed to assume all of the deposits and essentially all of the assets of Heritage.  Loans comprise the majority of the assets acquired and $97.8 million, or 91% of total loans acquired, are subject to the loss-share agreement with the FDIC whereby TNB is indemnified against a portion of the losses on covered loans and covered other real estate. The loans acquired from Heritage that are covered by loss-share agreement are presented as covered loans in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

TNB accounts for acquired impaired loans under FASB ASC Topic 310-30.  An acquired loan is considered impaired when there is evidence of credit deterioration since the origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that TNB would be unable to collect all contractually required payments.  Revolving credit agreements such as home equity lines are excluded from acquired impaired loan accounting requirements.  TNB acquired $5.9 million and $3.8 million of revolving credit agreements, at fair value, in the Bay Bank and Heritage acquisitions, respectively, consisting mainly of home equity loans and commercial asset-based lines of credit, where the borrower had revolving privileges on the acquisition date.  As such, TNB has accounted for such revolving covered loans in accordance with accounting requirements for acquired nonimpaired loans.

Covered Other Real Estate
All other real estate acquired in a FDIC-assisted acquisition, such as Heritage, that is subject to a FDIC loss-share agreement is referred to as covered other real estate and reported separately in Trustmark’s consolidated balance sheets.  Covered other real estate is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC.  Foreclosed covered loan collateral is transferred into covered other real estate at the collateral’s net realizable value.
Covered other real estate was initially recorded at its estimated fair value on the acquisition date based on similar market comparable valuations less estimated selling costs.  Any subsequent valuation adjustments due to declines in fair value are charged to noninterest expense, and are mostly offset by noninterest income representing the corresponding increase to the FDIC indemnification asset for the offsetting loss reimbursement amount.  Any recoveries of previous valuation adjustments will be credited to noninterest expense with a corresponding charge to noninterest income for the portion of the recovery that is due to the FDIC.

FDIC Indemnification Asset
TNB has elected to account for amounts receivable under the loss-share agreement as an indemnification asset in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.”  The FDIC indemnification asset was initially recorded at fair value, based on the discounted value of expected future cash flows under the loss-share agreement.  The difference between the present value and the undiscounted cash flows TNB expects to collect from the FDIC is accreted into noninterest income over the life of the FDIC indemnification asset.  The FDIC indemnification asset is presented net of any true-up provision, pursuant to the provisions of the loss-share agreement, due to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement.
During the second quarter of 2012, Trustmark re-estimated the expected cash flows on the acquired loans of Heritage as required by FASB ASC Topic 310-30.  The analysis resulted in improvements in the estimated future cash flows of the acquired loans that remain outstanding as well as lower expected remaining losses on those loans.  The improvements in the estimated expected cash flows of the covered loans resulted in a reduction of the expected loss-share receivable from the FDIC.  During the first nine months of 2012, other income included a writedown of the FDIC indemnification asset of $3.0 million on covered loans as a result of loan pay offs, improved cash flow projections and lower loss expectations for loan pools.
The following table illustrates changes in the FDIC indemnification asset for the periods presented:

The decrease was due to loan payoffs, improved cash flow projections and lower loss expectations for covered loans.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Heritage loss-share agreement, TNB may be required to make a true-up payment to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement should actual losses be less than certain thresholds established in the agreement.  TNB calculates the projected true-up payable to the FDIC quarterly and records a FDIC true-up provision for the present value of the projected true-up payable to the FDIC at the termination of the loss-share agreement.  TNB’s FDIC true-up provision totaled $961 thousand and $601 thousand at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Other Earning Assets

Federal funds sold and securities purchased under reverse repurchase agreements were $5.3 million at September 30, 2012, a decrease of $4.0 million when compared with December 31, 2011.  Trustmark utilizes these products as offerings for its correspondent banking customers as well as a short-term investment alternative whenever it has excess liquidity.

Deposits and Other Interest-Bearing Liabilities

Trustmark’s deposit base is its primary source of funding and consists of core deposits from the communities Trustmark serves.  Deposits include interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing demand accounts, savings, money market, certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts. Total deposits were $7.804 billion at September 30, 2012, compared with $7.566 billion at December 31, 2011, an increase of $237.7 million, or 3.1%.  Growth in deposits is a combination of increases in both noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing deposits of $85.4 million and $152.3 million, respectively.  Noninterest-bearing deposit growth was primarily due to $52.1 million in deposits from the Bay Bank acquisition.  Excluding Bay Bank, Trustmark experienced growth in noninterest-bearing deposits among all categories of $33.3 million.  The increase in interest-bearing deposits resulted primarily from seasonal growth in public accounts of $130.1 million and $133.5 million in various types of interest-bearing deposits from the Bay Bank acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in time deposit account balances, excluding Bay Bank, of $149.6 million as Trustmark continues its efforts to reduce high-cost deposit balances.  A portion of the decline in time deposit balances was offset by growth in money market balances due to customer preference for liquidity in today’s interest rate environment.

Trustmark uses short-term borrowings to fund growth of earning assets in excess of deposit growth.  Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and short-term FHLB advances.  Short-term borrowings totaled $492.3 million at September 30, 2012, a decrease of $199.8 million, when compared with $692.1 million at December 31, 2011.  Of these amounts, $408.6 million and $239.4 million, respectively, were customer related transactions, such as commercial sweep repo balances.  The decrease in short-term borrowings resulted primarily from a decline of $162.0 million in federal funds purchased as funding pressures lessened due to strong deposit growth.

Legal Environment

Trustmark’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TNB, has been named as a defendant in two lawsuits related to the collapse of the Stanford Financial Group.  The first is a purported class action complaint that was filed on August 23, 2009 in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, by Peggy Roif Rotstain, Guthrie Abbott, Catherine Burnell, Steven Queyrouze, Jaime Alexis Arroyo Bornstein and Juan C. Olano, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, naming TNB and four other financial institutions unaffiliated with the Company as defendants.  The complaint seeks to recover (i) alleged fraudulent transfers from each of the defendants in the amount of fees and other monies received by each defendant from entities controlled by R. Allen Stanford (collectively, the “Stanford Financial Group”) and (ii) damages allegedly attributable to alleged conspiracies by one or more of the defendants with the Stanford Financial Group to commit fraud and/or aid and abet fraud on the asserted grounds that defendants knew or should have known the Stanford Financial Group was conducting an illegal and fraudulent scheme.  Plaintiffs have demanded a jury trial.  Plaintiffs did not quantify damages.  In November 2009, the lawsuit was removed to federal court by certain defendants and then transferred by the United States Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to federal court in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) where multiple Stanford related matters are being consolidated for pre-trial proceedings.  In May 2010, all defendants (including TNB) filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit, and the motions to dismiss have been fully briefed by all parties.  The court has not yet ruled on the defendants’ motions to dismiss.  In August 2010, the court authorized and approved the formation of an Official Stanford Investors Committee to represent the interests of Stanford investors and, under certain circumstances, to file legal actions for the benefit of Stanford investors.  In December 2011, the Official Stanford Investors Committee filed a motion to intervene in this action.  In January 2012, Plaintiffs filed a motion to join the Official Stanford Investors Committee as an additional plaintiff in this action.  Trustmark opposed these two motions.  The court has not yet ruled on the intervention and joinder motions.  In September 2012, the district court referred the case to a magistrate judge for hearing and determination of certain pretrial issues.

The second Stanford-related lawsuit was filed on December 14, 2009 in the District Court of Ascension Parish, Louisiana, individually by Harold Jackson, Paul Blaine, Carolyn Bass Smith, Christine Nichols, and Ronald and Ramona Hebert naming TNB (misnamed as Trust National Bank) and other individuals and entities not affiliated with the Company as defendants.  The complaint seeks to recover the money lost by these individual plaintiffs as a result of the collapse of  the Stanford Financial Group (in addition to other damages) under various theories and causes of action, including negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, conspiracy, and violation of Louisiana’s uniform fiduciary, securities, and racketeering laws.  The complaint does not quantify the amount of money the plaintiffs seek to recover.  In January 2010, the lawsuit was removed to federal court by certain defendants and then transferred by the United States Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to federal court in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) where multiple Stanford related matters are being consolidated for pre-trial proceedings.  On March 29, 2010, the court stayed the case.  TNB filed a motion to lift the stay, which was denied on February 28, 2012.  In September 2012, the district court referred the case to a magistrate judge for hearing and determination of certain pretrial issues.

TNB’s relationship with the Stanford Financial Group began as a result of Trustmark’s acquisition of a Houston-based bank in August 2006, and consisted of correspondent banking and other traditional banking services in the ordinary course of business.  Both Stanford-related lawsuits are in their preliminary stages and have been previously reported in the press and disclosed by Trustmark.

TNB is the defendant in two putative class actions challenging TNB’s practices regarding "overdraft" or "non-sufficient funds" fees charged by TNB in connection with customer use of debit cards, including TNB’s order of processing transactions, notices and calculations of charges, and calculations of fees. Kathy D. White v. TNB was filed in Tennessee state court in Memphis, Tennessee and was removed on June 19, 2012 to the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. (Plaintiff Kathy White had filed an earlier, virtually identical action that was voluntarily dismissed.) Leroy Jenkins v. TNB was filed on June 4, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The White and Jenkins pleadings are matters of public record in the files of the courts. In both cases, the plaintiffs purport to represent classes of similarly-situated customers of TNB. The White complaint asserts claims of breach of contract, breach of a duty of good faith and fair dealing, unconscionability, conversion, and unjust enrichment. The Jenkins complaint includes similar allegations as well as federal-law claims under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA) and RICO.  On July 19, 2012, the plaintiff in the White case filed an amended compliant to add plaintiffs from Mississippi and also to add federal EFTA claims.  Trustmark contends that amended complaint was procedurally improper.  On October 4, 2012, the plaintiff in the White case moved for leave to add two Tennessee plaintiffs.  That motion is pending for decision.  Trustmark has filed preliminary dismissal motions, and discovery has begun, in the White case; the Jenkins case has not yet entered the active discovery stage.  Each of these complaints seeks the imposition of a constructive trust and unquantified damages.  These complaints are largely patterned after similar lawsuits that have been filed against other banks across the country.

Trustmark and its subsidiaries are also parties to other lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Some of the lawsuits assert claims related to the lending, collection, servicing, investment, trust and other business activities, and some of the lawsuits allege substantial claims for damages.

All pending legal proceedings described above are being vigorously contested. In the regular course of business, Management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provision is made for anticipated losses whenever Management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated.  At the present time, Management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel and Management’s evaluation, that (i) the final resolution of pending legal proceedings described above will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial position or results of operations and (ii) a material adverse outcome in any such case is not reasonably possible.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Trustmark makes commitments to extend credit and issues standby and commercial letters of credit in the normal course of business in order to fulfill the financing needs of its customers.  These loan commitments and letters of credit are off-balance sheet arrangements.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend money to customers pursuant to certain specified conditions.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.  Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Trustmark applies the same credit policies and standards as it does in the lending process when making these commitments.  The collateral obtained is based upon the assessed creditworthiness of the borrower.  At September 30, 2012 and 2011, Trustmark had commitments to extend credit of $1.843 billion and $1.633 billion, respectively.

Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by Trustmark to ensure the performance of a customer to a third party.  When issuing letters of credit, Trustmark uses essentially the same policies regarding credit risk and collateral that are followed in the lending process.  At September 30, 2012 and 2011, Trustmark’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party for letters of credit was $152.9 million and $169.8 million, respectively.  These amounts consist primarily of commitments with maturities of less than three years. Trustmark holds collateral to support certain letters of credit when deemed necessary.

Contractual Obligations

Payments due from Trustmark under specified long-term and certain other binding contractual obligations were scheduled in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The most significant obligations, other than obligations under deposit contracts and short-term borrowings, were for operating leases for banking facilities. There have been no material changes since year-end.

Capital Resources
At September 30, 2012, Trustmark’s total shareholders’ equity was $1.278 billion, an increase of $63.0 million from its level at December 31, 2011.  During the first nine months of 2012, shareholders’ equity increased primarily as a result of net income of $89.6 million and the $12.0 million of common stock issued in the Bay Bank acquisition, and was partially offset by common stock dividends of $44.9 million.  Trustmark utilizes a capital model in order to provide Management with a monthly tool for analyzing changes in its strategic capital ratios.  This allows Management to hold sufficient capital to provide for growth opportunities and protect the balance sheet against sudden adverse market conditions while maintaining an attractive return on equity to shareholders.

Regulatory Capital

Trustmark and TNB are subject to minimum capital requirements, which are administered by various federal regulatory agencies.  These capital requirements, as defined by federal guidelines, involve quantitative and qualitative measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet instruments.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional, discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the financial statements of both Trustmark and TNB.  Trustmark aims to exceed the well-capitalized guidelines for regulatory capital.  As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark and TNB have exceeded all of the minimum capital standards for the parent company and its primary banking subsidiary as established by regulatory requirements.  In addition, TNB has met applicable regulatory guidelines to be considered well-capitalized at September 30, 2012.  To be categorized in this manner, TNB must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the accompanying table.  There are no significant conditions or events that have occurred since September 30, 2012, which Management believes have affected TNB’s present classification.

During 2006, Trustmark enhanced its capital structure with the issuance of trust preferred securities and Subordinated Notes.  For regulatory capital purposes, the trust preferred securities currently qualify as Tier 1 capital while the Subordinated Notes qualify as Tier 2 capital.  The addition of these capital instruments provided Trustmark a cost effective manner in which to manage shareholders’ equity and enhance financial flexibility.

Dividends on Common Stock

Dividends per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were $0.69.  Trustmark’s indicated dividend for 2012 is $0.92 per common share, which is the same as dividends per common share in 2011.

Liquidity

Liquidity is the ability to meet asset funding requirements and operational cash outflows in a timely manner, in sufficient amount and without excess cost.  Consistent cash flows from operations and adequate capital provide internally generated liquidity.  Furthermore, Management maintains funding capacity from a variety of external sources to meet daily funding needs, such as those required to meet deposit withdrawals, loan disbursements and security settlements.  Liquidity strategy also includes the use of wholesale funding sources to provide for the seasonal fluctuations of deposit and loan demand and the cyclical fluctuations of the economy that impact the availability of funds.  Management keeps excess funding capacity available to meet potential demands associated with adverse circumstances.

The asset side of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through maturities and cash flows from loans and securities, as well as the ability to sell certain loans and securities while the liability portion of the balance sheet provides liquidity primarily through noninterest and interest-bearing deposits.  Trustmark utilizes federal funds purchased, brokered deposits, FHLB advances, securities sold under agreements to repurchase as well as the Federal Reserve Discount Window (Discount Window) to provide additional liquidity.  Access to these additional sources represents Trustmark’s incremental borrowing capacity.

Deposit accounts represent Trustmark’s largest funding source.  Average deposits totaled to $7.873 billion for the first nine months of 2012 and represented approximately 80.4% of average liabilities and shareholders’ equity when compared to average deposits of $7.523 billion, which represented 78.6% of average liabilities and shareholders’ equity for the same time period in 2011.

Trustmark utilizes a limited amount of brokered deposits to supplement other wholesale funding sources.  At September 30, 2012, brokered sweep Money Market Deposit Account (MMDA) deposits totaled $37.7 million compared to $42.1 million at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark had $49.8 million in term fixed-rate brokered CDs outstanding, compared with $49.7 million outstanding brokered CDs at December 31, 2011.

At September 30, 2012, Trustmark had $176.2 million of upstream federal funds purchased, compared to $365.0 million at December 31, 2011.  Trustmark also maintains a relationship with the FHLB, which provided $108 thousand in advances at September 30, 2012, compared with $2.5 million in advances at December 31, 2011.  Under the existing borrowing agreement, Trustmark had sufficient qualifying collateral to increase FHLB advances by $1.931 billion at September 30, 2012.

Additionally, Trustmark has the ability to enter into wholesale funding repurchase agreements as a source of borrowing by utilizing its unencumbered investment securities as collateral.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark had approximately $366.7 million available in repurchase agreement capacity compared to $603.0 million at December 31, 2011.

Another borrowing source is the Discount Window.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark had approximately $809.3 million available in collateral capacity at the Discount Window from pledges of loans and securities, compared with $777.4 million at December 31, 2011.

TNB has outstanding $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes (the Notes) due December 15, 2016. At September 30, 2012, the carrying amount of the Notes was $49.9 million.  The Notes were sold pursuant to the terms of regulations issued by the OCC and in reliance upon an exemption provided by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Notes are unsecured and subordinate and junior in right of payment to TNB’s obligations to its depositors, its obligations under bankers’ acceptances and letters of credit, its obligations to any Federal Reserve Bank or the FDIC and its obligations to its other creditors, and to any rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to TNB.

During 2006, Trustmark completed a private placement of $60.0 million of trust preferred securities through a newly formed Delaware trust affiliate, Trustmark Preferred Capital Trust I, (the Trust).  The trust preferred securities mature September 30, 2036 and are redeemable at Trustmark’s option beginning after five years.  The proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred securities were used by the Trust to purchase $61.856 million in aggregate principal amount of Trustmark’s junior subordinated debentures.  The net proceeds to Trustmark from the sale of the related junior subordinated debentures to the Trust were used to assist in financing Trustmark’s merger with Republic.

Another funding mechanism set into place in 2006 was Trustmark’s grant of a Class B banking license from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.  Subsequently, Trustmark established a branch in the Cayman Islands through an agent bank.  The branch was established as a mechanism to attract dollar denominated foreign deposits (i.e., Eurodollars) as an additional source of funding.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark had $72.0 million in Eurodollar deposits outstanding.
82

The Board of Directors currently has the authority to issue up to 20.0 million preferred shares with no par value.  The ability to issue preferred shares in the future will provide Trustmark with additional financial and management flexibility for general corporate and acquisition purposes.  At September 30, 2012, Trustmark has no shares of preferred stock issued.

Liquidity position and strategy are reviewed regularly by the Asset/Liability Committee and continuously adjusted in relationship to Trustmark’s overall strategy.  Management believes that Trustmark has sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet presently known cash flow requirements arising from ongoing business transactions.

Asset/Liability Management

Overview

Market risk reflects the potential risk of loss arising from adverse changes in interest rates and market prices. Trustmark has risk management policies to monitor and limit exposure to market risk.  Trustmark’s primary market risk is interest rate risk created by core banking activities.  Interest rate risk is the potential variability of the income generated by Trustmark’s financial products or services, which results from changes in various market interest rates.  Market rate changes may take the form of absolute shifts, variances in the relationships between different rates and changes in the shape or slope of the interest rate term structure.

Management continually develops and applies cost-effective strategies to manage these risks. The Asset/Liability Committee sets the day-to-day operating guidelines, approves strategies affecting net interest income and coordinates activities within policy limits established by the Board of Directors.  A key objective of the asset/liability management program is to quantify, monitor and manage interest rate risk and to assist Management in maintaining stability in the net interest margin under varying interest rate environments.

Derivatives

Trustmark uses financial derivatives for management of interest rate risk.  The Asset/Liability Committee, in its oversight role for the management of interest rate risk, approves the use of derivatives in balance sheet hedging strategies.  The most common derivatives employed by Trustmark are interest rate lock commitments, forward contracts, both futures contracts and options on futures contracts, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and interest rate floors.  In addition, Trustmark has entered into derivative contracts as counterparty to one or more customers in connection with loans extended to those customers.  These transactions are designed to hedge exposures of the customers and are not entered into by Trustmark for speculative purposes.  Increased federal regulation of the over-the-counter derivative markets may increase the cost to Trustmark to administer derivative programs.

As part of Trustmark’s risk management strategy in the mortgage banking area, various derivative instruments such as interest rate lock commitments and forward sales contracts are utilized. Rate lock commitments are residential mortgage loan commitments with customers, which guarantee a specified interest rate for a specified period of time.  Trustmark’s obligations under forward contracts consist of commitments to deliver mortgage loans, originated and/or purchased, in the secondary market at a future date.  These derivative instruments are designated as fair value hedges under FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.”  The gross, notional amount of Trustmark’s off-balance sheet obligations under these derivative instruments totaled $646.1 million at September 30, 2012, with a negative valuation adjustment of $3.2 million, compared to $317.0 million, with a negative valuation adjustment of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2011.  This growth has been driven by record low mortgage interest rates which has stimulated higher mortgage loan refinancing activity.

Trustmark utilizes a portfolio of exchange-traded derivative instruments, such as Treasury note futures contracts and option contracts, to achieve a fair value return that offsets the changes in fair value of MSR attributable to interest rates.  These transactions are considered freestanding derivatives that do not otherwise qualify for hedge accounting.  Changes in the fair value of these exchange-traded derivative instruments are recorded in noninterest income in mortgage banking, net and are offset by the changes in the fair value of MSR.  The MSR fair value represents the present value of future cash flows, which among other things includes decay and the effect of changes in interest rates.  Ineffectiveness of hedging the MSR fair value is measured by comparing the change in value of hedge instruments to the change in the fair value of the MSR asset attributable to changes in interest rates and other market driven changes in valuation inputs and assumptions.  The impact of this strategy resulted in a net negative ineffectiveness of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a net positive ineffectiveness of $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as well as a net negative ineffectiveness of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a net positive ineffectiveness of $4.8 million experienced for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The net negative ineffectiveness is a result of the spread contraction between primary mortgage rates and yields on the ten-year Treasury note partially offset by hedge income produced by a steep yield curve and option premium.
83

In the first quarter of 2011, Trustmark began offering certain derivatives products such as interest rate swaps directly to qualified commercial borrowers seeking to manage their interest rate risk.  Trustmark economically hedges interest rate swap transactions executed with commercial borrowers by entering into offsetting interest rate swap transactions with third parties.  Derivative transactions executed as part of this program are not designated as qualifying hedging relationships and are, therefore, carried at fair value with the change in fair value recorded in noninterest income in bank card and other fees.  Because the derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, in addition to collateral provisions which mitigate the impact of non-performance risk, the changes in fair value substantially offset.  As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $262.1 million related to this program, compared to $71.2 million as of December 31, 2011.

Trustmark has agreements with its financial institution counterparties that contain provisions where if Trustmark defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then Trustmark could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of September 30, 2012, the termination value of interest rate swaps in a liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $5.5 million compared to $1.8 million as of December 31, 2011.  As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark had posted collateral with a market value of $1.4 million against its obligations because of negotiated thresholds and minimum transfer amounts under these agreements. If Trustmark had breached any of these triggering provisions at September 30, 2012, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value.

Credit risk participation agreements arise when Trustmark contracts with other financial institutions, as a guarantor or beneficiary, to share credit risk associated with certain interest rate swaps. These agreements provide for reimbursement of losses resulting from a third party default on the underlying swap. As of September 30, 2012, Trustmark had entered into two risk participation agreements as a beneficiary with an aggregate notional amount of $10.1 million, compared to no transactions as of December 31, 2011. The fair values of these risk participation agreements were immaterial at September 30, 2012.

Market/Interest Rate Risk Management

The primary purpose in managing interest rate risk is to invest capital effectively and preserve the value created by the core banking business.  This is accomplished through the development and implementation of lending, funding, pricing and hedging strategies designed to maximize net interest income performance under varying interest rate environments subject to specific liquidity and interest rate risk guidelines.

Financial simulation models are the primary tools used by Trustmark’s Asset/Liability Committee to measure interest rate exposure.  Using a wide range of scenarios, Management is provided with extensive information on the potential impact to net interest income caused by changes in interest rates.  Models are structured to simulate cash flows and accrual characteristics of Trustmark’s balance sheet.  Assumptions are made about the direction and volatility of interest rates, the slope of the yield curve and the changing composition of Trustmark’s balance sheet, resulting from both strategic plans and customer behavior.  In addition, the model incorporates Management’s assumptions and expectations regarding such factors as loan and deposit growth, pricing, prepayment speeds and spreads between interest rates.

Based on the results of the simulation models using static balances, it is estimated that net interest income may increase 0.1% and decrease 1.9% in a one-year, shocked, up 200 basis point rate shift scenario, compared to a base case, flat rate scenario at September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates using static balances at September 30, 2012, it is estimated that net interest income may decrease by 5.2% compared to a 4.7% decrease at September 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2012 and 2011, the impact of a 200 basis point drop scenario was not calculated due to the historically low interest rate environment.

The table below summarizes the effect various rate shift scenarios would have on net interest income at September 30, 2012 and 2011:

-100 basis points
-5.2 % -4.7 %

As shown in the table above, the interest rate shocks illustrate little to no change in net interest income in rising rate scenarios while displaying modest exposure to a falling rate environment.  The exposure to falling rates is primarily due to a repricing downward of various earning assets with minimal contribution from liabilities given the already low cost of deposits in the base scenario.  Management cannot provide any assurance about the actual effect of changes in interest rates on net interest income.  The estimates provided do not include the effects of possible strategic changes in the balances of various assets and liabilities throughout 2013 or additional actions Trustmark could undertake in response to changes in interest rates.  Management will continue to prudently manage the balance sheet in an effort to control interest rate risk and maintain profitability over the long term.

Another component of interest rate risk management is measuring the economic value-at-risk for a given change in market interest rates.  The economic value-at-risk may indicate risks associated with longer-term balance sheet items that may not affect net interest income at risk over shorter time periods.  Trustmark also uses computer-modeling techniques to determine the present value of all asset and liability cash flows (both on- and off-balance sheet), adjusted for prepayment expectations, using a market discount rate.  The economic value of equity (EVE), also known as net portfolio value, is defined as the difference between the present value of asset cash flows and the present value of liability cash flows.  The resulting change in EVE in different market rate environments, from the base case scenario, is the amount of EVE at risk from those rate environments.  As of September 30, 2012, the EVE at risk for an instantaneous up 200 basis point shift in rates produced an increase in net portfolio value of 5.3%, compared to a net portfolio value increase of 4.0% in September 30, 2011.  An instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates produced a decline in net portfolio value of 6.9%, compared to a net portfolio value decrease of 9.0% at September 30, 2011.  The following table summarizes the effect that various rate shifts would have on net portfolio value at September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Economic Value - at - Risk

Accounting Policies Recently Adopted and Pending Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2012-06, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” Issued in October 2012, ASU 2012-06 addresses the diversity in practice about how to subsequently measure an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution.  The amendments in ASU 2012-06 require a reporting entity to subsequently account for a change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification. ASU 2012-06 further requires that any amortization of changes in value be limited to the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets.  The amendments in ASU 2012-06 are effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted.  Trustmark is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2012-06 will have on its financial statements.

ASU 2012-02 , “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment .” Issued in July 2012, ASU 2012-02 amends the guidance in ASC 350-30 on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment.  Under the revised guidance, entities testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment test).  If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required.  The ASU does not change how indefinite-lived intangible assets are calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment.  In addition, the ASU does not amend the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider.  The amendments of ASU 2012-02 are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  As Trustmark does not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill, the adoption of ASU 2012-02 will have no impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.” ASU 2011-12 defers the effective date of the requirement of ASU 2011-05 to present separate line items on the income statement for reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income.  ASU 2011-12 was issued to allow the FASB time to redeliberate whether to present on the face of the financial statements the effects of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented.  Entities are still required to present reclassification adjustments within other comprehensive income either on the face of the statement that reports other comprehensive income or in the notes to the financial statements.  All other requirements of ASU 2011-05 are not affected by ASU 2011-12.  The requirements of ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2012.  For Trustmark, the impact of the ASU is a change in presentation only and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.
85

ASU 2011-08 , “ Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment .” Issued in September 2011, ASU 2011-08 amends the guidance in ASC 350-202 on testing goodwill for impairment.  Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the goodwill impairment test).  If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required.  The ASU does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units, nor does it revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment.  In addition, the ASU does not amend the requirement to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if events or circumstances warrant; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider.  The amendments became effective for Trustmark’s annual goodwill impairment tests beginning January 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have an impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity.  The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively.  Early adoption is permitted.  The ASU became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2012.  For Trustmark, the impact of the ASU is a change in presentation only and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and IASB to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how to measure fair value and on what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements.  While the ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP, it expands existing disclosure requirements for fair value measurements and makes other amendments.  Many of these amendments were made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  However, some could change how fair value measurement guidance is applied.  The ASU became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2012, and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.  The required disclosures are reported in Note 16 – Fair Value.

ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860):  Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.” The ASU eliminates from U.S. GAAP the requirement for entities to consider whether a transferor has the ability to repurchase the financial assets in a repurchase agreement.  This requirement was one of the criteria that entities used to determine whether the transferor maintained effective control.  Although entities must consider all the effective-control criteria under ASC 860, the elimination of this requirement may lead to more conclusions that a repurchase arrangement should be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than as a sale.  The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The ASU became effective for Trustmark’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2012, and did not have a significant impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Trustmark’s wholly-owned subsidiary, TNB, has been named as a defendant in two lawsuits related to the collapse of the Stanford Financial Group.  The first is a purported class action complaint that was filed on August 23, 2009 in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, by Peggy Roif Rotstain, Guthrie Abbott, Catherine Burnell, Steven Queyrouze, Jaime Alexis Arroyo Bornstein and Juan C. Olano, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, naming TNB and four other financial institutions unaffiliated with the Company as defendants.  The complaint seeks to recover (i) alleged fraudulent transfers from each of the defendants in the amount of fees and other monies received by each defendant from entities controlled by R. Allen Stanford (collectively, the “Stanford Financial Group”) and (ii) damages allegedly attributable to alleged conspiracies by one or more of the defendants with the Stanford Financial Group to commit fraud and/or aid and abet fraud on the asserted grounds that defendants knew or should have known the Stanford Financial Group was conducting an illegal and fraudulent scheme.  Plaintiffs have demanded a jury trial.  Plaintiffs did not quantify damages.  In November 2009, the lawsuit was removed to federal court by certain defendants and then transferred by the United States Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to federal court in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) where multiple Stanford related matters are being consolidated for pre-trial proceedings.  In May 2010, all defendants (including TNB) filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit, and the motions to dismiss have been fully briefed by all parties.  The court has not yet ruled on the defendants’ motions to dismiss.  In August 2010, the court authorized and approved the formation of an Official Stanford Investors Committee to represent the interests of Stanford investors and, under certain circumstances, to file legal actions for the benefit of Stanford investors.  In December 2011, the Official Stanford Investors Committee filed a motion to intervene in this action.  In January 2012, Plaintiffs filed a motion to join the Official Stanford Investors Committee as an additional plaintiff in this action.  Trustmark opposed these two motions.  The court has not yet ruled on the intervention and joinder motions.  In September 2012, the district court referred the case to a magistrate judge for hearing and determination of certain pretrial issues.

The second Stanford-related lawsuit was filed on December 14, 2009 in the District Court of Ascension Parish, Louisiana, individually by Harold Jackson, Paul Blaine, Carolyn Bass Smith, Christine Nichols, and Ronald and Ramona Hebert naming TNB (misnamed as Trust National Bank) and other individuals and entities not affiliated with the Company as defendants.  The complaint seeks to recover the money lost by these individual plaintiffs as a result of the collapse of  the Stanford Financial Group (in addition to other damages) under various theories and causes of action, including negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, conspiracy, and violation of Louisiana’s uniform fiduciary, securities, and racketeering laws.  The complaint does not quantify the amount of money the plaintiffs seek to recover.  In January 2010, the lawsuit was removed to federal court by certain defendants and then transferred by the United States Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to federal court in the Northern District of Texas (Dallas) where multiple Stanford related matters are being consolidated for pre-trial proceedings.  On March 29, 2010, the court stayed the case.  TNB filed a motion to lift the stay, which was denied on February 28, 2012.  In September 2012, the district court referred the case to a magistrate judge for hearing and determination of certain pretrial issues.

TNB’s relationship with the Stanford Financial Group began as a result of Trustmark’s acquisition of a Houston-based bank in August 2006, and consisted of correspondent banking and other traditional banking services in the ordinary course of business.  Both Stanford-related lawsuits are in their preliminary stages and have been previously reported in the press and disclosed by Trustmark.

TNB is the defendant in two putative class actions challenging TNB’s practices regarding "overdraft" or "non-sufficient funds" fees charged by TNB in connection with customer use of debit cards, including TNB’s order of processing transactions, notices and calculations of charges, and calculations of fees. Kathy D. White v. TNB was filed in Tennessee state court in Memphis, Tennessee and was removed on June 19, 2012 to the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee. (Plaintiff Kathy White had filed an earlier, virtually identical action that was voluntarily dismissed.) Leroy Jenkins v. TNB was filed on June 4, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The White and Jenkins pleadings are matters of public record in the files of the courts. In both cases, the plaintiffs purport to represent classes of similarly-situated customers of TNB. The White complaint asserts claims of breach of contract, breach of a duty of good faith and fair dealing, unconscionability, conversion, and unjust enrichment. The Jenkins complaint includes similar allegations as well as federal-law claims under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA) and RICO.  On July 19, 2012, the plaintiff in the White case filed an amended compliant to add plaintiffs from Mississippi and also to add federal EFTA claims.  Trustmark contends that amended complaint was procedurally improper.  On October 4, 2012, the plaintiff in the White case moved for leave to add two Tennessee plaintiffs.  That motion is pending for decision.  Trustmark has filed preliminary dismissal motions, and discovery has begun, in the White case; the Jenkins case has not yet entered the active discovery stage.  Each of these complaints seeks the imposition of a constructive trust and unquantified damages.  These complaints are largely patterned after similar lawsuits that have been filed against other banks across the country.
87

Trustmark and its subsidiaries are also parties to other lawsuits and other claims that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Some of the lawsuits assert claims related to the lending, collection, servicing, investment, trust and other business activities, and some of the lawsuits allege substantial claims for damages.

All pending legal proceedings described above are being vigorously contested.  In the regular course of business, Management evaluates estimated losses or costs related to litigation, and provision is made for anticipated losses whenever Management believes that such losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated.  At the present time, Management believes, based on the advice of legal counsel and Management’s evaluation, that (i) the final resolution of pending legal proceedings described above will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material impact on Trustmark’s consolidated financial position or results of operations and (ii) a material adverse outcome in any such case is not reasonably possible.
