ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Departure of Principal Financial Officer

On June 24, 2021, William C. Losch III informed First Horizon Corporation (“FHN”) that he would depart from FHN and its subsidiary, First Horizon Bank (the “Bank”), effective July 31, 2021. Mr. Losch currently is Senior Executive Vice President—Chief Financial Officer of FHN and the Bank.

Election of Principal Financial Officer

On June 30, 2021, FHN’s board of directors elected Anthony J. Restel as interim Chief Financial Officer of FHN and the Bank, effective July 31, 2021. As with all of FHN’s executive officers, Mr. Restel will serve until a successor is elected and has been qualified.

Mr. Restel currently is Senior Executive Vice President—Chief Operating Officer of FHN and the Bank, and will continue in that position after becoming interim Chief Financial Officer. Background and biographical information about him is presented in FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 in “Supplemental Part I Information” on page 57 of that Report, which information is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference. Information concerning his compensation from FHN appears in the following sections of FHN’s Proxy Statement for the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders, all of which is incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference: (a) “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 70; (b) “Recent Compensation” beginning on page 94; and (c) “Post-Employment Compensation” beginning on page 103. Additional information concerning his compensation appears in: (d) exhibits 10.1(b), 10.1(c), 10.1(d), 10.3(l), 10.4(f), 10.6(o), 10.6(p), and 10.8(h) to FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020; (e) exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 to FHN’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021; (f) FHN’s 2021 Incentive Plan which appears as Appendix A in FHN’s Proxy Statement for the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders; and (g) exhibit 10.1 to FHN’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 29, 2021.

FHN, the Bank and the subsidiaries of each, as applicable, have entered into lending transactions and/or other banking or financial services transactions in the ordinary course of business with FHN’s executive officers, directors, nominees, their immediate family members and affiliated entities, and the persons of which FHN is aware that beneficially own more than five percent of FHN’s common stock, and FHN expects to have such transactions in the future. Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the company, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. FHN notes that as a perquisite FHN offers all associates discounts on certain financial services (for example, no-fee domestic wire transfers). These discounts are available to FHN’s executive officers except in relation to credit extended at the time an executive officer is serving as such.
