(b)
On
November 29, 2006, Matthew L. Holleman III informed Trustmark Corporation
of his
decision to resign from the Board of Directors of Trustmark Corporation and
the
Board of Directors of its subsidiary, Trustmark National Bank, including
the
following committees of the Trustmark Corporation Board: Executive, Nominating
and Strategic Planning. His resignation from all posts will be effective
on
January 1, 2007.
The
resignation arises from commitments made earlier in 2006 by the Robert M.
Hearin
Foundation and the Robert M. Hearin Support Foundation (collectively, the
“Foundations”) to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System with
respect to Trustmark Corporation. The Foundations, which are the largest
shareholders in Trustmark Corporation, committed, among other things, that,
without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve System, the Foundations
would
not have or seek to have any trustee serve on the board of directors of
Trustmark Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, with the exception that
the
trustee of the Foundations who currently serves as a director of Trustmark
Corporation (Mr. Holleman) was permitted to continue service as both a trustee
of the Foundations and a director of Trustmark Corporation through January
1,
2007. Mr. Holleman has now decided that he will comply with this commitment
by
resigning as a director of Trustmark Corporation while retaining his role
as a
trustee of the Foundations.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant
