ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

     Union Planters Corporation (the Corporation) consummated the acquisition
of Grenada Sunburst System Corporation (GSSC) on December 31, 1994.  Prior to
its acquisition and merger with and into the Corporation, GSSC was a multi-bank
holding company headquartered in Mississippi with approximately $2.5 billion of
total assets. The two major commercial banking subsidiaries of GSSC were
Sunburst Bank, Mississippi and Sunburst Bank, Louisiana, with total assets of
approximately $2.0 billion and $500 million, respectively.  Both are now
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Corporation. Reference is made to the
Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated September 30, 1994 and the
Corporation's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated July 1, 1994, July 26, 1994,
August 19, 1994, and September 28, 1994 for additional information regarding
this acquisition.

     In determining the amount of consideration paid in the transaction, the
Corporation took into account the factors described in the subsections headed
"Reasons and Recommendations of UPC Board of Directors" and "Fairness Opinion
of Stifel Nicolaus" found on pages 42 through 48 of the Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus dated November 10, 1994 included in the Corporation's
Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 33-56269) which disclosure
is incorporated by reference as part of this Report.

     The merger of the Corporation and GSSC was consummated by the Corporation
issuing 1.4530 shares of its $5 par value Common Stock for each outstanding
share of GSSC. The total number of shares of Union Planters Corporation's $5
par value Common Stock issued in the transaction was 13,776,357. (Approximate
value of the transaction is $288 million based on the December 31, 1994 stock
price of $20.88). The acquisition of GSSC was approved by a majority of the
shareholders of both the Corporation and GSSC.

Grenada Sunburst System Corporation and subsidiaries ("GSSC", or the 
"Company").  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been 
included and are of a normal recurring nature.

2.     The  results of operations for the nine-month period ended September
30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.

3.     Per share data is based on weighted average shares of common stock
outstanding of 9,492,975 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1994 and for the quarter ended September 30, 1993.  Per share data is based
on weighted average common shares outstanding of 9,396,904 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1993.  The Company had outstanding 14,478 options
on common stock at September 30, 1994 and 1993.  Each option entitles the
holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $22.375. Generally, these options are exercisable beginning in 1995.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding at September 30, 1994 and
1993 adjusted for the assumed exercise of all outstanding stock options using
the treasury stock method would be 9,497,831 and 9,397,790, respectively for
the calculation of primary earnings per share and 9,497,636 and 9,397,742,
respectively for the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share.  The
assumed exercise of these options would have a less than one-half of $.01
dilution of earnings per share.

4.      On July 1, 1994 a definitive agreement was entered into between Union
Planters  Corporation (UPC) and GSSC in which UPC will acquire all of the
outstanding stock of GSSC in a transaction valued at approximately $305
million based on UPC's November 8, 1994 closing stock price of $22.125.
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, UPC will exchange 1.4530 shares
of  UPC common stock for each common share of GSSC. The acquisition, which is
to be accounted for as a pooling of interests, is expected to be completed by
year-end 1994, pending approval by both companies' shareholders  and the
completion of other closing conditions.

       Effective March 1, 1993, GSSC, through its wholly owned Mississippi
banking subsidiary, Sunburst Bank, acquired selected net assets of Eastover
Bank for Savings ("Eastover") in a transaction accounted for as a purchase.
Had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 1993, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1993, net interest income for the Company would have increased
by approximately $3,140,000, net income would have increased by approximately
$897,000, and earnings per share would have increased by approximately $.08
per share.

5.     Effective January 1, 1994, GSSC adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities."  This statement requires investments to be classified in
three  categories and to be accounted for as follows:  (i) debt securities
which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are
classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost; (ii) debt and
equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of
selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported
at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; and 
(iii) debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity 
securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale 
securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses 
excluded from earnings and reported as an addition to or a deduction from
stockholders' equity.
