The Corporation was initially incorporated under the Tennessee General Corporation Act pursuant to a Charter, dated September 25, 1984, executed by the Corporation’s incorporator, James M.

8.   Capital Stock. The maximum number of shares of stock the Corporation is authorized to issue is:

 

  a.   75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), which shall be entitled to unlimited voting rights of one vote per share and, upon dissolution of the Corporation, shall be entitled to receive the net assets of the Corporation.

 

  b.  

7,500,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value (the “Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to TCA §§ 48-16-101 and 102, the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the


 

Preferred Stock shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

  c.   In connection with the adoption of this Amended and Restated Charter of FB Financial Corporation all issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation’s Class A Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, are automatically, without any action by the holders thereof, reclassified as an equal number of shares of Common Stock. Each shareholder holding a certificate evidencing Class A Common Stock which is reclassified as Common Stock may surrender his or her certificate to the Corporation and, upon surrender, if the Common Stock is certificated, shall receive in exchange a new certificate representing a number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock represented by the surrendered certificate.

A Director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor shall be elected and shall qualify; subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal from office. Any vacancy on the Board of Directors, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of Directors or a vacancy that results from the removal of a Director with cause, may be filled only by the Board of Directors.

 

  b.   Subject to the Bylaws or any applicable shareholders’ agreement, any Director may be removed from office but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of Directors, considered for this purpose as one class.

 

  c.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Charter, the affirmative vote of holders of eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of Directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend or repeal this Article 10 of this Charter, or to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provisions of this Charter or of the Bylaws in a manner that is inconsistent with the purpose and intent of this Article 10.

If the Tennessee Business Corporation Act or any successor statute is amended or other Tennessee law is enacted after adoption of this provision to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors, then the liability of a Director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, as so amended from time to time, or such successor statute or other Tennessee law. Any repeal or modification of this Article 11 or subsequent amendment of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act or enactment of other applicable Tennessee law shall not affect adversely any right or protection of a Director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal, modification, amendment or enactment or with respect to events occurring prior to such time.

 

12.   Indemnification of Directors.

 

  a.   The Corporation shall indemnify every person who is or was a party or is or was threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director or officer or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, including service on a committee formed for any purpose (and, in each case, his or her heirs, executors, and administrators), against all expense, liability, and loss (including counsel fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as in effect on the date hereof and as hereafter amended. Such indemnification shall include advancement of expenses in advance of final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding, subject to the provision of any applicable law.

 

  b.   The indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of this Article 12 shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person (and his or her heirs, executors, and administrators) may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this Charter, the Bylaws, resolution adopted by the shareholders, resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, agreement, or insurance, purchased by the Corporation or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity. The Corporation is hereby authorized to provide for indemnification and advancement of expenses through its Bylaws, resolution of shareholders, resolution of the Board of Directors, or agreement, in addition to that provided by this Charter.
