Capital Trusts
Trustmark Preferred Capital Trust I (Trustmark Trust) is a Delaware trust affiliate formed in 2006 to facilitate a private placement of $60.0 million in trust preferred securities.  Republic Bancshares Capital Trust I (Republic Trust) is a Delaware trust affiliate acquired as the result of Trustmark’s 2006 acquisition of Republic Bancshares of Texas, Inc.  Republic Trust was formed to facilitate the issuance of $8.0 million in trust preferred securities.  As defined in applicable accounting standards, both Trustmark Trust and Republic Trust are considered variable interest entities for which Trustmark is not the primary beneficiary.  Accordingly, the accounts of both trusts are not included in Trustmark’s consolidated financial statements.  On October 7, 2010, upon receipt of approval from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the trust preferred securities of the Republic Trust were redeemed at par plus accrued interest and the related junior subordinated debt securities were repaid.  This redemption reduced Trustmark’s Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and total risk-based capital ratio for December 31, 2010, by 0.09%, 0.12% and 0.12%, respectively.
Strategy
Trustmark seeks to be a premier diversified financial services company in its markets, providing a broad range of banking, wealth management and insurance solutions to its customers.  Trustmark’s products and services are designed to strengthen and expand customer relationships and enhance the organization’s competitive advantages in its markets, as well as to provide cross-selling opportunities that will enable Trustmark to continue to diversify its revenue and earnings streams.  Much of the growth in Trustmark’s total revenues has been derived from organic growth of existing lines of business. In addition, Trustmark continues to seek opportunities to expand in higher growth markets as evidenced by the acquisition of Houston-based Republic Bancshares of Texas, Inc., which expanded Trustmark’ s penetration of the Houston banking market.
The following table sets forth summary data regarding Trustmark’s securities, loans, assets, deposits, equity and revenues over the past five years.
