Trustmark Corporation Announces Results of Early Retirement Program

Trustmark Corporation announced a voluntary early retirement program for associates age 60 and above with five or more years of service. Of those eligible for the program, 188 associates, or 6.38% of the workforce, accepted the retirement package and will retire no later than June 30, 2016. The cost of this program will be reflected in a one-time, pre-tax charge of approximately $9.0 million, or $0.083 per share net of tax, in Trustmark’s second quarter 2016 earnings. During the second half of 2016, pre-tax salary and employee benefits expense savings resulting from the implementation of the early retirement program are expected to total $4.2 million, or $0.039 per share net of tax. In 2017, these pre-tax salary and employee benefits expense savings are expected to total approximately $8.5 million, or $0.077 per share net of tax.

This voluntary early retirement program represents another proactive measure in the management of Trustmark’s expense base. This initiative provides organizational efficiencies resulting from investments in technology and realignment of work processes as well as advancement opportunities for associates. Trustmark remains committed to investments to promote profitable revenue growth as well as reengineering and efficiency opportunities to enhance shareholder value.
