Hancock Holding Company (the “Company”) intends to make certain administrative changes to the Hancock Bank Savings and Investment Plan (the “Plan”), including a change to the platform as well as offering additional investment and distribution options. As a result of these administrative changes, participants in the Plan will be temporarily unable to make a withdrawal under the Plan, obtain a distribution under the Plan, or change investment options under the Plan (the “blackout period”). The blackout period for the Plan will begin after the close of the market on September 13, 2012 and is expected to end on September 21, 2012, unless extended by the Company.
On August 20, 2012, the Company delivered a notice to its directors and executive officers informing them of a temporary suspension of transactions by directors and executive officers involving Company equity and derivative securities in connection with the blackout period under the Plan. The notice, which was provided to the Company’s directors and executive officers in accordance with Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and includes the information required by Rule 104(b) of Regulation BTR, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
