Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures: Supplemental Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus Information
This Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures sets forth updates to the “SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA”, “COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA” and “UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS” disclosures included in the joint proxy statement/prospectus to reflect updated estimates to the December 31, 2019 unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The estimates included in this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures are different than those included in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, and reflect both a change in the assumption related to closing share price (from $13.33 as of February 28, 2020 to $8.06 as of March 31, 2020) and a change in the valuation assumptions applied to the fair value assigned to the acquired assets and liabilities (using market inputs through March 31, 2020 applied to the December 31, 2019 values). This information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is dependent upon various inputs and assumptions that are subject to change.
SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
The following tables show unaudited pro forma financial information about the financial condition and results of operations, including per share data, after giving effect to the merger between First Horizon and IBKC as well as the purchase of certain branches of SunTrust Bank by First Horizon (the “SunTrust Purchase”) and other pro forma adjustments. The unaudited pro forma financial information assumes that the IBKC merger and the SunTrust Purchase are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities of IBKC and the purchased branches of SunTrust Bank will generally be recorded by First Horizon at their respective fair values as of the date the transactions were or are (as applicable) completed. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet gives effect to the transactions as if the transactions had occurred on December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019, gives effect to the transactions as if the transactions had become effective at January 1, 2019. The unaudited selected pro forma combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of First Horizon, which are incorporated in the joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference, the consolidated financial statements and related notes of IBKC, which are incorporated in the joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference, and the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, including the notes thereto (as supplemented by this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures), appearing elsewhere in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 222 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” beginning on page 166 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and page 6 of this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of the period presented, nor the impact of possible business model changes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 44 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, as explained in more detail in the accompanying notes to the “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” beginning on page 166 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and on page 6 of this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures, the preliminary allocations of the pro forma purchase prices reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are subject to
1
adjustment and may vary materially from the actual purchase price allocations that will be recorded upon completion of the merger and the SunTrust Purchase.
The risk of such variance is particularly significant with respect to the allocation of the purchase price for the merger, because such allocation is based, in large part, on First Horizon’s price per common share as of the closing date. Specifically, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price for the merger reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes a price per common share of $8.06, the trading price of First Horizon’s common stock as of market close on March 31, 2020. Since March 31, 2020, the financial, commodities (including oil and gas) and other markets generally have continued to experience extreme volatility due to, in large part, the coronavirus pandemic and the related governmental responses to the pandemic. Such volatility has resulted in an increase in the trading price of First Horizon common stock, which, as of market close on April 9, 2020, was $9.50, a 17.87% increase from the March 31, 2020 market close trading price. The continuation of this volatility of financial, commodities (including oil and gas) and other markets generally and its continued effect on the trading price of First Horizon common stock will largely depend on future developments, which we cannot accurately predict, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity and length of the coronavirus pandemic, the success of governmental and private actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus pandemic, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities, and financial, commodities (including oil and gas) and other markets to such actions. Given this volatility and uncertainty as to whether such markets, and the trading price of First Horizon common stock, will stabilize or return to pre-coronavirus pandemic levels, the unaudited pro forma financials of the combined company included in the joint proxy statement/prospectus (as supplemented by this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures) may not be indicative of the combined company’s actual financial condition as of the closing date.

For the sole purpose of illustrating the effect of various trading
prices of First Horizon common stock on certain items of the unaudited pro forma financials of the combined company, the below
“Hypothetical Illustration of First Horizon Common Stock Trading Price Impact on Selected December 31, 2019 Pro Forma Financial
Information” table sets out the hypothetical value of the total merger consideration per share of IBKC common stock, goodwill,
and shareholders’ equity, based on various hypothetical trading prices of First Horizon common stock. This illustration is
intended to show the effect on those measures if the trading price of First Horizon’s common stock as of March 31, 2020 had
differed from $8.06 (the actual trading price of
2 |
First Horizon common stock as of March 31, 2020 and the trading price used to calculate the pro forma purchase price of the merger), with all other information used to create the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures held constant. This illustration does not show how the pro forma presentation would have changed if loan, deposit, investment, and other values had been re-assessed as of any other date. Variation in loan, deposit, investment, and other values over time can significantly affect the pro forma presentation, and, as such, the calculations of goodwill and shareholders’ equity at the applicable trading prices set forth below are not necessarily indicative of, and may materially vary from, the combined company’s actual goodwill and shareholders’ equity as of the closing date.

COMPARATIVE HISTORICAL AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA PER SHARE DATA
The historical per share data for First Horizon common stock and IBKC common stock below has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of each of First Horizon and IBKC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference in the joint proxy statement.
The unaudited pro forma combined per share data set forth below gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on January 1, 2019, the beginning of the earliest period presented, in the case of continuing net income per share data, and as of December 31, 2019 in the case of book value per share data, assuming that each outstanding share of IBKC common stock had been converted into shares of First Horizon common stock based on the exchange ratio of 4.584 shares of First Horizon common stock for each share of IBKC common stock. The unaudited pro forma combined per share data has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for each of First Horizon and IBKC as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The unaudited pro forma combined per share data has been derived using the acquisition method of accounting. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” beginning on page 166 for more information. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments reflect the assets and liabilities of IBKC and the purchased branches of SunTrust Bank at their preliminary estimated fair values. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final values in acquisition accounting will occur and these differences could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma combined per share information set forth below.
The unaudited pro forma combined per share data does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that the combined company would have achieved had the merger been completed during these periods or to project the future results of operations that the combined company may achieve after the merger and asset purchase.
The unaudited pro forma combined per share equivalent data set forth below shows the effect of the merger from the perspective of a holder of IBKC common stock. The information was calculated by multiplying the unaudited pro forma combined per share data by the exchange ratio of 4.584.
You should read the information below in conjunction with the selected consolidated historical financial data included elsewhere in the joint proxy statement/prospectus (as supplemented by this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures) and the historical consolidated financial statements of First Horizon and IBKC and related notes that have been filed with the SEC, certain of which are incorporated by reference therein. See “Selected Consolidated Historical Financial Data of First Horizon”, “Selected Consolidated Historical Financial Data of IBKC” and “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on pages 32, 34, and 222 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined per share data and the unaudited pro forma combined per share equivalent data has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information and related notes included in the joint proxy statement/prospectus (as supplemented by this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures). See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements” beginning on page 166 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus and the beginning on page 6 of this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures, which are based on and should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of First Horizon and the related notes included in First Horizon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 which is incorporated by reference in the joint proxy statement/prospectus, and (ii) the historical audited consolidated financial statements of IBKC and the related notes included in IBKC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 which is incorporated by reference in the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following financial statements show unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information about the financial condition and results of operations, including per share data, after giving effect to the SunTrust Purchase and the merger with IBKC and other pro forma adjustments. The unaudited pro forma financial information assumes that the transactions are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets and liabilities of the purchased branches of SunTrust Bank and IBKC will generally be recorded by First Horizon at their respective fair values as of the date the transactions were or are (as applicable) completed. The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet gives effect to the transactions as if the transactions had occurred on December 31, 2019. The unaudited pro forma combined income statement for the year ended December 31, 2019 gives effect to the transactions as if the transactions had become effective at January 1, 2019. The unaudited selected pro forma combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of First Horizon, which are incorporated in the joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference, the consolidated financial statements and related notes of IBKC, which are incorporated in the joint proxy statement/prospectus by reference, and the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, including the notes thereto (as supplemented by this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures), appearing elsewhere in the joint proxy statement/prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” beginning on page 222 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not indicate the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented, nor the impact of possible business model changes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also does not consider any potential effects of changes in market conditions on revenues, expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, and share repurchases, among other factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 43 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, as explained in more detail in the below accompanying notes, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase prices for both transactions reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary materially from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded upon completion of the transactions.
The risk of such variance is particularly significant with respect to the allocation of the purchase price for the merger, because such allocation is based, in large part, on First Horizon’s price per common share as of the closing date. Specifically, the preliminary allocation of the pro forma purchase price for the merger reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes a price per common share of $8.06, the trading price of First Horizon’s common stock as of market close on March 31, 2020. Since March 31, 2020 the financial, commodities (including oil and gas) and other markets generally have continued to experience extreme volatility due to, in large part, the coronavirus pandemic and the related governmental responses to the pandemic. Such volatility has resulted in an increase in the trading price of First Horizon common stock, which, as of market close on April 9, 2020, was $9.50, a 17.87% increase from the March 31, 2020 market close trading price. The continuation of this volatility of financial, commodities (including oil and gas) and other markets generally and its continued effect on the trading price of First Horizon common stock will largely depend on future developments, which we cannot accurately predict, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, the success of governmental and private actions taken to contain or treat the coronavirus pandemic, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities, and financial, commodities (including oil and gas) and other markets to such actions. Given this volatility and uncertainty as to whether such markets, and the trading price of First Horizon common stock, will stabilize or return to pre-coronavirus pandemic levels, the unaudited pro forma financials of the combined company included below may not be indicative of the combined company’s actual financial condition as of the closing date.
For the sole purpose of illustrating the effect of various trading prices of First Horizon common stock on certain items of the unaudited pro forma financials of the combined company, the below “Hypothetical Illustration of First Horizon Common Stock Trading Price Impact on Selected December 31, 2019 Pro Forma Financial Information” table sets out the hypothetical value of the total merger consideration per share of IBKC common stock, goodwill, and shareholders’ equity, based on various hypothetical trading prices of First Horizon common stock. This illustration is intended to show the effect on those measures if

the trading price of First Horizon’s common stock as of March 31, 2020 had differed from $8.06 (the actual trading price of First Horizon common stock as of March 31, 2020 and the trading price used to calculate the pro forma purchase price of the merger), with all other information used to create the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this Updated Pro Forma Financials and Related Disclosures held constant. This illustration does not show how the pro forma presentation would have changed if loan, deposit, investment, and other values had been re-assessed as of any other date.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the SunTrust Purchase and the merger under the acquisition method of accounting with First Horizon treated as the acquirer. The unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the financial results of the combined companies had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented, nor does it necessarily indicate the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities from the SunTrust Purchase and the merger as of their respective effective date (as set forth in the applicable agreement) will generally be recorded by First Horizon at their respective fair values with the excess/shortfall of purchase price over/under the acquired net assets allocated to goodwill/recorded as a purchase accounting gain.
The SunTrust Purchase results in the acquisition of branch loans and related fixed assets and the assumption of branch deposits of SunTrust Bank by First Horizon for approximately $586 million in cash.
The merger, which is currently expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2020, provides for IBKC common shareholders to receive 4.584 shares of First Horizon common stock for each share of IBKC common stock they hold immediately prior to the merger closing. Based on the closing trading price of First Horizon common stock on the NYSE on March 31, 2020, the value of the merger consideration per share of IBKC common stock was $36.95. Based on the closing trading price of First Horizon common stock on the NYSE on April 9, 2020, the value of the merger consideration per share of IBKC common stock was $43.55.
The pro forma allocation of purchase price reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information is subject to adjustment and may vary from the actual purchase price allocation that will be recorded at the closing date. Adjustments may include, but not be limited to, changes in (i) IBKC’s balance sheet through the effective date of the merger; (ii) the aggregate value of merger consideration paid if the price of First Horizon’s shares vary from the assumed $8.06 per share, which represents the closing share price of First Horizon common stock on March 31, 2020, which variance could be significant given that financial markets generally, and the market price of First Horizon’s shares, are experiencing higher than normal volatility; (iii) total merger related expenses if consummation and/or implementation costs vary from currently estimated amounts; and (iv) the underlying values of assets and liabilities if market conditions differ from current assumptions.
The accounting policies of both First Horizon and IBKC are in the process of being reviewed in detail. Upon completion of such review, conforming adjustments or financial statement reclassification may be determined.
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which revises the measurement and recognition of credit losses for assets measured at amortized cost (e.g., held-to-maturity (“HTM”) loans and debt securities) and available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. The provisions of ASU 2016-13 and multiple related accounting standards that were subsequently issued (collectively the “Credit Impairment Standards”) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years and will be generally adopted through cumulative-effect adjustments to retained earnings and affected asset classifications as of the beginning of the first reporting period in the year of adoption. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any adjustments for the effects of adopting the Credit Impairment Standards. For the most recent information related to the pending adoption of the Credit Impairment Standards, reference should be made to the notes to the historical consolidated financial statements included in First Horizon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the notes to the historical consolidated financial statements included in IBKC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019, each of which is incorporated by reference in the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Note 2 - Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation for the SunTrust Purchase
The pro forma adjustments for the SunTrust Purchase include the estimated acquisition accounting entries to record the purchase of branch loans and related fixed assets and the assumption of branch deposits, as well as conformity adjustments to align with First Horizon’s presentation. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, net of deferred taxes, is allocated to goodwill. Estimated fair value adjustments included in the pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable, and are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
Other intangible assets of $33.5 million are included in the SunTrust Purchase pro forma adjustments separate from goodwill and are amortized using the sum-of-the-years-digits method or an accelerated methodology that mirrors the discounted cash flows used in the determination of fair value. Goodwill totaling $52.3 million is included in the SunTrust Purchase pro forma adjustments and is not subject to amortization.
The following schedule details significant assets purchased and liabilities assumed from the SunTrust Purchase estimated as of December 31, 2019:

Note 3 - Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation for IBKC
The pro forma adjustments for IBKC include the estimated acquisition accounting entries to record the merger. The excess/shortfall of the purchase price over/under the acquisition accounting value of net assets acquired, net of deferred taxes, is allocated to goodwill/recorded as a purchase accounting gain. Estimated fair value adjustments included in the pro forma combined consolidated financial statements are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable, and may be subject to change as additional information becomes available.
Core deposits and other intangible assets of $206.0 million resulting from the merger have been recorded separately from goodwill and have been amortized over an estimated ten year average life using the sum-of-the-years-digits method or an accelerated methodology that mirrors the timing of related expected cash flows used in the determination of fair value. Based on the closing trading price of First Horizon common stock on the NYSE on March 31, 2020, the preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in a purchase accounting gain of $606.2 million. The purchase price is based on First Horizon’s price per common share at the closing date, which has not yet occurred. Accordingly, a 10 percent increase or decrease in First Horizon’s closing sale price per share of common stock on March 31, 2020 (which was $8.06) would result in a corresponding adjustment to purchase accounting gain of approximately $196.4 million.
The preliminary purchase price allocation as of December 31, 2019 is as follows:

Note 4 - Pro Forma Adjustments
The following pro forma adjustments have been reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined consolidated financial information. All taxable adjustments were calculated using a 24.59 percent tax rate to arrive at deferred tax asset or liability adjustments. All adjustments are based on current assumptions and valuations, which are subject to change.
A. | Adjustments to cash and due from banks to reflect cash of $586.5 million used to purchase branch loans and related fixed assets and assume branch deposits acquired from SunTrust Bank. |
B. | Adjustments to Loans, net of unearned income to reflect estimated fair value adjustments, which include credit deterioration, current interest rates and liquidity, to acquired loans. |

R. | Adjustment to Undivided profits to eliminate IBKC undivided profits of $1.3 billion and to recognize the impact on equity of approximately $46.9 million (after-tax) of contractually obligated merger costs to be paid by First Horizon, as well as $606.2 million representing the preliminary purchase accounting gain calculated as if the net assets were acquired on December 31, 2019. This purchase accounting gain is not reflected in the unaudited pro forma combined statement of income because it is a nonrecurring item that is directly related to the transaction. |
16 |

17 |
Note 5 - Estimated Cost Savings and Merger Integration Costs
First Horizon expects to realize approximately $170 million, or 25 percent of IBKC’s current noninterest expense, in annual pre-tax cost savings following the merger. The estimated cost savings is expected to be 75 percent realized in the run-rate by the end of fiscal year 2021 and fully realized during fiscal year 2022 and is excluded from this pro forma analysis.
Anticipated future merger and integration-related costs are not included in the pro forma combined statements of income since they will be recorded in the combined results of income as they are incurred prior to, or after completion of, the merger and are not indicative of what the historical results of the condensed combined company would have been had the companies been actually combined during the periods presented. Anticipated future merger and integration-related pre-tax costs are estimated to be $440 million.
18 |
Note 6 - Divestiture of IBKC and/or First Horizon Bank Branches
After regulatory assessment of competitive considerations of the merger in accordance with regulatory guidelines, IBKC may be required to divest branches in certain banking areas in order to obtain regulatory approvals to complete the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. If required by regulatory authorities, branches will be divested in certain areas in a manner sufficient to eliminate such regulatory authorities’ competitive concerns. Presently, however, no potential branch divestitures have been identified by regulators, none are expected by the parties, and therefore none are included in the pro forma analysis. See “The Merger--Regulatory Approvals” beginning on page 135 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus.
