         The pro forma data gives effect to (i) the Merger accounted for as a
pooling of interests using an exchange ratio of 2.59736 Trustmark common shares
for each FNFC common share, and (ii) the Bank Merger  using an exchange ratio
of 13 Trustmark common shares for each Trustmark Bank common share owned by
Trustmark Bank's minority shareholders.  Equivalent pro forma per share amounts
for FNFC are calculated by multiplying the pro forma income per share, pro
forma book value per share and pro forma dividends per share of Trustmark by an
exchange ratio of 2.59736.  This information is not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations or combined financial condition that would have
resulted if the Mergers had been consummated at the beginning of the periods
indicated.

         The Bank Merger

         The following presents certain data concerning net income per share,
dividends per share and book value per share for Trustmark and subsidiaries and
Trustmark Bank on a historical and pro forma basis.  This information is
presented to assist Trustmark Bank's shareholders in evaluating the effect of
the Bank Merger, in connection with which Trustmark Bank's minority
shareholders will receive 13 Trustmark shares for each Trustmark Bank share
held by them on the Effective Date of the Bank Merger.


         The pro forma data gives effect to (i) the Bank Merger using an
exchange ratio of 13 Trustmark shares for each Trustmark Bank common share
owned by Trustmark Bank's minority shareholders and reflecting the issuance of
194,359 additional Trustmark Bank shares to Trustmark, and (ii) the Merger
accounted for as a pooling of interests using an exchange ratio of 2.59736
Trustmark common shares for each FNFC share. Equivalent pro forma per share
amounts are calculated by multiplying the pro forma income per share, pro forma
book value per share and pro forma dividends per share by an exchange ratio of
13. This information is not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations or combined financial condition that would have resulted if the
Mergers had been consummated at the beginning of the periods indicated.

Prior to 1994, no firm proposals were made by either party.  Representatives of
the institutions resumed discussions in early 1994.  Following extensive
discussions and negotiations,  Trustmark made a formal offer to representatives
of FNFC on March 22, 1994.  After further discussions and negotiations, the
respective Boards of Directors approved an agreement in principle on March 28,
1994.





                                       19

         From Trustmark's perspective, a combination with FNFC offers Trustmark
the opportunity to enter the Warren County market area as the dominant
financial institution.  Because of the recent introduction of casino  gaming,
the Warren County economy has experienced rapid expansion during recent months,
leading to significant opportunities for growth.

         The Board of Directors of FNFC believes that a Merger with Trustmark
at this time is in the best interests of FNFC's shareholders, its customers and
the community to be served.

         The proposed Merger will be beneficial to the shareholders of FNFC.
As of result of the Merger, FNFC's shareholders should (i) receive increased
dividends, (ii) possess a more readily marketable stock, (iii) enjoy the
benefits of greater risk diversification since, as shareholders of Trustmark,
former FNFC shareholders will not be dependent on the economic condition  and
banking climate of a single market area, and (iv) benefit from participation in
a stronger banking system which has a greater capital base than FNFC currently
possesses.

         The proposed Merger should improve the delivery of financial services
to FNBV's customers and enhance the future earnings prospects of the resulting
institution.  The Merger will afford FNBV's customers access to the resources
and expertise of a considerably larger banking organization, thus enabling the
resulting institution to offer a wider array of products and sophisticated
banking services than FNBV presently offers.  The resulting entity should also
be better able to compete effectively for banking business in FNBV's market
area and throughout the state.

         Based upon comparable transactions of which the Board of Directors of
FNFC is aware, FNFC's Board believes that the consideration offered by
Trustmark is attractive. FNFC's Board did not seek the advice of an outside
appraiser or financial adviser in negotiating  the terms of the Merger.

FAIRNESS OPINION

         Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FNFC's obligation to consummate the
Merger is  conditioned upon receipt of an opinion from a qualified investment
banker that the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
stockholders of FNFC.  FNFC retained Alex Sheshunoff & Co. ("Sheshunoff") in
May, 1994, to provide this opinion.

         Sheshunoff did not assist FNFC in negotiating the terms of the Merger
Agreement.

         Sheshunoff has been in the business of consulting for the banking
industry for 20 years, including the appraisal and





                                       20
<PAGE>   30
valuation of banking institutions and their securities in connection with
mergers and acquisitions and equity offerings.    Except as described herein,
Sheshunoff has no material relationships with FNFC or Trustmark or their
respective affiliates.

         On June 1,  1994, in connection with its consideration of the Merger
Agreement and the Plan and Agreement of Merger, Sheshunoff issued its opinion
to the Board of Directors of FNFC that, in its opinion as investment bankers,
the terms of the Merger as provided in the Merger Agreement and the Plan and
Agreement of Merger are fair, from a financial perspective, to FNFC and its
shareholders.  This opinion was based upon conditions as of March 31, 1994.  A
copy of the preliminary opinion is attached as Exhibit  B to this Proxy
Statement/Prospectus and should be read in its entirety by FNFC's shareholders.
Sheshunoff's written opinion does not constitute an endorsement of the Merger
or a recommendation to any shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote
at the Special Meeting.  Sheshunoff expects to deliver its updated opinion on
the Effective Date of the Merger.

         In rendering its written opinion, Sheshunoff reviewed certain
information concerning Trustmark and FNFC, including: (i) the Merger Agreement
and the Plan and Agreement of Merger between FNFC and Trustmark; (ii) the most
recent audited financial statements and annual reports of each organization;
(iii) the March 31, 1994 balance sheets and income statements for each
organization; (iv) the rate sensitivity analysis reports for each organization;
(v) each organization's listing of marketable securities showing rate, maturity
and market value as compared to book value; (vi) each organization's internal
loan classification list; (vii) a listing of other real estate owned for each
organization; (viii) the budget and long range operating plan of each
organization; (ix) a listing of unfunded letters of credit and any other
off-balance sheet risks for each organization; (x) the minutes of the Boards of
Directors of each organization; (xi) the most recent Board report for each
organization; (xii) the listing and description of significant real properties
for each organization; (xiii) material leases on real and personal property for
each organization; (xiv) the directors and officers' liability and blanket bond
insurance policies for each organization; and (xv) market conditions and
current trading levels of outstanding equity securities of both organizations.
Sheshunoff conducted an on-site review of each organization's historical
performance, current financial condition and performed a market area analysis.

         In addition, Sheshunoff discussed with the management of FNFC and
Trustmark the relative operating performance and future prospects of each
organization, primarily with respect to the current level of their earnings and
future expected operating results, giving weight to Sheshunoff's assessment of
the future of the banking industry and each organization's performance within
the





                                       21
<PAGE>   31
industry.  Sheshunoff compared the results of operations of FNBV with those of
Mississippi banks with assets of $100 million to $499 million, and compared 
the results of Trustmark Bank's operations with banks with total assets of 
$1 billion to $4.99 billion.

         Many variables affect the value of banks, not the least of which is
the  uncertainty of future events, so that the relative importance of the
valuation variables differs in different situations, with the result that
appraisal theorists argue about which variables are the most appropriate ones
on which to focus.  However, most appraisers agree that the primary financial
variables to be considered are earnings, equity, dividends or dividend-paying
capacity, asset quality and cash flow.  In addition, in most instances, if not
all, value is further tempered by non-financial factors such as marketability,
voting rights or block size, history of past sales of the bank's stock, nature
and relationship of the other shareholders in the bank, and special ownership
or management considerations.

         Sheshunoff analyzed the total purchase price on a cash equivalent fair
market value basis using the standard evaluation techniques (as discussed
below) including comparable sales multiples, net  present value, cash flow
analysis, return on investment and the price equity index based on certain
assumptions of projected growth, earnings and dividends and a range of discount
rates from 10% to 15%.

         Net asset value is the value of the net equity of a bank, including
every kind of property and value.  This approach normally assumes liquidation
on the date of appraisal with the recognition of securities gains or losses,
real estate appreciation or depreciation,  adjustments to the loan loss
reserve, discounts to the loan portfolio  and changes in the net value of other
assets.  As such, it is not the best approach to use when valuing a going
concern, because it is based on historical costs and varying accounting
methods.  Even if the assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect prevailing
prices and yields (which is often of limited accuracy because readily available
data is often lacking), it still results in a liquidation value for the
concern.  Furthermore, since this method does not take into account the values
attributable to the going concern such as the interrelationships among the
company's assets and liabilities, customer relations, market presence, image
and reputation, and staff expertise and depth, little weight is given by
Sheshunoff to the net asset value method of valuation.

         Market value is generally defined as the price, established on an
"arms-length" basis, at which knowledgeable, unrelated buyers and sellers would
agree. The market value is  frequently used to determine the price of a
minority block of stock when both the quantity and the quality of the
"comparable" data are deemed sufficient.  However, the relative thinness of the
specific market






                                       22
<PAGE>   32
for the stock of the banking company being appraised may result in the need to
review alternative markets for comparative pricing purposes.  The
"hypothetical" market value for a small bank with a thin market for its stock
is normally determined by comparison to the average price-to-earnings,
price-to-equity and price-to-dividend yield of local or regional
publicly-traded bank issues, adjusting for significant differences in financial
performance criteria and for any lack of marketability or liquidity.  The
market value in connection with the evaluation of control of a bank is
determined by the previous sales of banks in the state or region.  In  valuing
a business enterprise, when sufficient comparable trade data is available, the
market value deserves greater weighting than the net asset value and similar
emphasis as the investment value as discussed below.

         Sheshunoff maintains substantial files concerning the prices paid for
banking institutions nationwide.  The database includes transactions involving
Mississippi banking organizations and banking organizations in the Southern
region of the United States over the past five years.  The database provides
comparable pricing and financial performance data for banking organizations
sold or acquired.  Organized by different peer groups, the data present
averages of financial performance and purchase price levels, thereby
facilitating a valid comparative purchase price analysis.  In analyzing the
transaction value of FNFC, Sheshunoff has considered the market approach and
has evaluated price-to-equity and price-to-earnings multiples of Mississippi
and Southern region banking organizations.

         Sheshunoff calculated  an "Adjusted Book Value" of $30.28 per share,
based on FNFC's March 31, 1994 common equity and the average price-to-equity
multiple for regional banking organizations sold in 1993.  Sheshunoff
calculated an "Adjusted Earnings Value" of $23.86 per share, based on FNFC's
1993 earnings and the average price-to-earnings multiple for regional banking
organizations sold in 1993.  The financial performance characteristics of the
regional banking organizations vary, sometimes substantially, from those of
FNFC.  When the variance is significant for relevant performance factors,
adjustments to the price multiples is appropriate when comparing them to the
transaction value.

         The Investment value is sometimes referred to as the income value or
earnings value.  One investment value method frequently used estimates the
present value of an enterprise's  future earnings or cash flow.   Another
popular investment value method is to determine the level of current annual
benefits (earnings, cash flow, dividends, etc.) and then capitalize one or more
of the benefit types using an appropriate capitalization rate such as an
earnings or dividend yield.   Yet, another method of calculating investment
value is a cash flow analysis of the ability of a banking company to service
acquisition debt obligations (at a certain price level) while providing
sufficient earnings for





                                       23
<PAGE>   33
reasonable dividends and capital adequacy requirements.  In connection with the
cash flow analysis, the return on investment that would accrue to a prospective
buyer at the transaction value is calculated.

         The investment or earnings value of any banking organization's stock
is an estimate of the present value of the future benefits, usually earnings,
cash flow or dividends, which will accrue to the stock.  An earnings value is
calculated using an annual future earnings stream over a period of time of not
less than ten years and the residual value of the earnings stream after ten
years, assuming no earnings growth and an appropriate capitalization rate (the
net present value discount rate).  Sheshunoff's computations were based on the
analysis of the banking industry, the economic and competitive situations in
FNFC's market area, and FNFC and FNBV's current financial conditions and
historical levels of growth and earnings.  Using a net present value discount
rate of 10%, an acceptable discount rate considering the risk-return
relationship most investors would demand for an investment of this type as of
the valuation date, the "Net Present Value of Future Earnings," equaled $27.81
per share.

          The cash flow method assumes the formation of a bank holding company
with maximum leverage according to Federal Reserve System guidelines and
analyzes the ability of the bank to retire holding company acquisition debt
within a reasonable period of time while maintaining adequate capital.  Using
this method Sheshunoff arrived at a value of $29.75 per share.

         Return on investment analysis (ROI) also assumes the formation of a
bank holding company using maximum regulatory leverage and analyzes the ten
year ROI of a 33.33% equity investment at the transaction value of $43.00 per
share for FNFC compared to a liquidation at book value in the year 2003, and
sale at ten times projected earnings for the year 2003.  This ROI analysis
provides a benchmark for assessing the validity of the fair market value of a
majority block of stock.  The ROI analysis is one approach to valuing a going
concern and is directly impacted by the earnings stream, dividend payout levels
and levels of debt, if any.  Other financial and nonfinancial factors
indirectly affect the ROI; however, these factors more directly influence the
level of ROI an investor would demand from an investment in a majority block of
stock of a specific bank at a certain point in time.  The ROI, assuming
liquidation at book value in 2003, is -8.61% and the ROI, assuming sale at ten
times earnings in 2003, is 2.04%.

         Furthermore, a price level indicator, the equity index, may be used to
confirm the validity of the transaction value.  The equity index adjusts the
price-to-equity multiple in order to facilitate a truer price level comparison
with comparable banking organizations, regardless of the differing levels of
equity capital.  The equity index is derived by multiplying the price-to-

         

                                       24
<PAGE>   34
equity multiple by the equity-to-assets ratio.  In this instance, a transaction
value of $43.00 per share results in an equity index of 19.71.  The price equity
index for banking organizations sold in the South in 1993 equaled 11.20.

         Finally, another test of appropriateness for the transaction value of
a majority block of stock is the net present value- to-transaction value ratio.
Theoretically, an earning stream may be valued through the use of a net present
value analysis.  In Sheshunoff's experience with majority block community bank
stock valuations, it has determined that a relationship does exist between the
net present value of an "average" community banking organization and the
transaction value of a majority block of the banking organization's stock.  The
net present value-to-transaction value ratio equals 64.67% for FNFC, which
falls within our expected range.

         There are many other factors to consider when valuing a going concern
which do not directly impact the earnings stream and the net present value but
which do exert a degree of influence over the fair market value of a going
concern.  These factors include, but are not limited to, the general condition
of the industry, the economic and competitive situations in the market area and
the expertise of the management of the organization being valued.

         When the net asset value, market value and investment value methods
are subjectively weighted, using the appraiser's experience and judgment, it is
Sheshunoff's opinion that the proposed transaction is fair.

         Sheshunoff considered this transaction as a merger rather than a
purchase.  Consideration was given to the levels of book value and earnings per
share appreciation or dilution percentages between the merger partners over the
next three to five years after consummation.  A merger is usually completed
with the hopes of realizing economies of scale and earnings enhancement
opportunities, thereby providing a benefit to FNFC's shareholders that
otherwise might not be attainable.  To justify the fairness of the transaction
for FNFC's shareholders, it is important to project, based upon realistic
projections of future performance, a positive impact for FNFC's shareholders.
Sheshunoff projected that FNFC's shareholders will have a higher level of book
value and earnings per share after the Merger than they would on a stand-alone
basis.  The primary focus has been on the short-term and long- term book value
per share and earnings per share appreciation potential for FNFC's
shareholders.

         Neither FNFC nor Trustmark imposed any limitations upon the scope of
the investigation to be performed by Sheshunoff in formulating its opinion.  In
rendering its opinion, Sheshunoff did not independently verify the asset
quality and financial condition of FNFC or Trustmark, but instead relied upon
the data provided by





                                       25
<PAGE>   35
or on behalf of FNFC and Trustmark to be true and accurate in all material
respects.

         For its services as financial analyst for FNFC, including the
rendering of its opinion referred to above, FNFC has paid Sheshunoff aggregate
fees of $10,000.  FNFC also agreed to reimburse Sheshunoff for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses.

         Sheshunoff has provided professional services and products to FNFC in
the past.  The revenues derived from such services and products are
insignificant when compared to Sheshunoff's total gross revenues. Trustmark has
never engaged Sheshunoff to perform any services on its behalf.


BACKGROUND OF AND REASONS FOR THE CONVERSION OF TRUSTMARK BANK SHARES INTO
TRUSTMARK SHARES

         Trustmark (formerly First Capital Corporation) was formed in 1968 and
subsequently acquired substantially all of the shares of Trustmark National
Bank (formerly First National Bank of Jackson) as a result of a voluntary
exchange offer.  Since all of the Bank's shareholders did not exchange their
shares, Trustmark did not acquire 100 percent of the Bank's outstanding
shares.  In addition to seven Trustmark Bank directors that own 1,415 Trustmark
Bank shares, there are, currently, 95 "minority" shareholders of Trustmark
Bank that own a total of 9,163 shares which constitutes .37% of Trustmark
Bank's outstanding shares.  The presence of these minority shareholders creates
certain administrative and legal burdens which Trustmark and Trustmark Bank
have determined would be desirable to eliminate.  These burdens include formal
shareholder meetings, the distribution of periodic information to shareholders
and the potential conflict of interest which would arise if Trustmark found it
beneficial to make an acquisition or engage in a business activity through a
separate subsidiary.  The elimination of minority shareholders will also make
it easier for Trustmark to consider a cash acquisition in the future since,
otherwise, the minority shareholders would receive a disproportionate dividend
as a consequence of Trustmark Bank dividending funds to Trustmark to be used in
the acquisition.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT

         The following describes certain aspects of the Merger Agreement dated
as of May 4, 1994, and of the proposed Mergers.  This description does not
purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Merger Agreement which is incorporated herein by reference.  A complete copy of
the Merger Agreement can be obtained on request from Trustmark Corporation, 248
East Capitol Street, Jackson, Mississippi  39201, ATTN:  David R. Carter.

         CONVERSION; FRACTIONAL SHARES

         The Merger

         On the Effective Date of the Merger, each FNFC common share then
outstanding, other than those owned by FNFC's dissenting shareholders,
automatically will be converted into:  (i) 2.59736  shares of the common stock
of Trustmark, and (ii) $.79363 in cash.

         If, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Date of
the Merger, Trustmark's shares are changed into a different number of shares or
shares of a different class by reason of any reclassification,
recapitalization, stock split or stock dividend with a record date within such
period, the number of Trustmark common shares to be issued and delivered in
connection with the Merger shall be appropriately and proportionately adjusted
so that the number of Trustmark shares to be issued will equal the number of
Trustmark shares that FNFC's shareholders would have received had the record
date for such reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or stock dividend
been immediately following the Effective Date of the Merger.

         No fractional shares of Trustmark will be issued.  In lieu of the
issuance of fractional shares, each holder of FNFC common shares who would
otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Trustmark common stock will be
paid cash upon surrender of all of the shareholder's FNFC stock certificates in
an amount equal to the product of the fractional Trustmark share to which such
shareholder would otherwise have been entitled multiplied by $15.50.

         The number of Trustmark shares and the amount of cash consideration to
be received by FNFC's shareholders in connection with the Merger are  subject
to adjustment, without FNFC shareholder approval, in certain circumstances.
Pursuant to Section 10.7 of the Merger Agreement, if the average closing market
price of Trustmark's shares as reported on the NASDAQ/NMS system for the ten
consecutive trading days preceding the 30th day prior to the Effective Date of
the Merger is less than $13.50 per share, then the Boards of Directors of
Trustmark and FNFC are authorized to renegotiate the applicable conversion
ratios for the amount of cash and the number of shares of Trustmark stock into
which each FNFC common share shall be converted.  If the decline in such
average closing market price is attributable to a  market decline affecting the
value of publicly traded financial  institutions generally, the Board of
Directors of FNFC shall have the authority to disregard the price decline and
proceed to consummate the Merger on the original terms and conditions set out
in the Merger Agreement.  If the decline in Trustmark's average closing market
price is determined by the Board of Directors of FNFC to be attributable to an
adverse development affecting the financial condition of Trustmark only, the
Board of Directors of FNFC may terminate the Merger Agreement.  Unless the
average closing market





                                       27
<PAGE>   37
price of Trustmark shares is less than $12.875 per share, in the event that
FNFC exercises its right to terminate the Merger Agreement due to the price of
Trustmark's shares falling below $13.50 per share, then FNFC shall pay
Trustmark's expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred in connection with
the Merger.

         The Bank Merger

         On the Effective Date of the Bank Merger, each Trustmark Bank common
share, other than shares owned by Trustmark and other than shares owned by
Trustmark Bank's shareholders exercising dissenters' rights of appraisal,
automatically will be converted into 13 shares of the common stock of
Trustmark.

         The terms of the conversion of Trustmark Bank shares into Trustmark
shares were fixed by the Boards of Directors of Trustmark and Trustmark Bank.
These Boards believe that this exchange ratio is fair to the holders of the
common shares of Trustmark Bank.

         If, between the date of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Date of
the Bank Merger, Trustmark's shares are changed into a different number of
shares or shares of a different class by reason of any reclassification,
recapitalization, stock split or stock dividend with a record date within  such
period, the number of  Trustmark common shares to be issued and delivered in
connection with the Bank Merger shall be appropriately and proportionately
adjusted so that the number of Trustmark shares to be issued to the
shareholders of Trustmark Bank will equal the number of Trustmark shares that
Trustmark Bank's shareholders would have received had the record date for such
reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or stock dividend been
immediately following the Effective Date of the Bank Merger.

         REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

         Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FNFC and FNBV made various
representations and warranties concerning FNFC's and FNBV's corporate and
capital structures, financial condition, liabilities, legal and regulatory
compliance, litigation and related matters.  Similar representations and
warranties were  made by Trustmark and Trustmark Bank.  The continued truth and
accuracy of these representations and warranties are conditions precedent to
consummation of the Mergers.

         FNFC and FNBV undertook certain covenants in the Merger Agreement,
including agreements:  to allow Trustmark access to their records and
properties; not to encourage or solicit other acquisition offers or to enter
into any acquisition negotiations or agreements; to operate their businesses in
substantially the  same manner as such businesses are currently being operated
and to use their best efforts to maintain the good will of depositors,





                                       28
<PAGE>   38
customers and suppliers; to use their best efforts to retain the services of
their officers and employees; to notify Trustmark of any unusual or material
problems or developments with respect to their businesses; not to incur any
material obligation except in the ordinary course of business; not to increase
the compensation of any director and, except for normal increases as a result
of regular salary reviews of officers and employees, increase the compensation
of any officer or employee or enter into or amend any contract of employment or
enter into or amend any insurance, profit-sharing, pension, severance pay,
bonus, incentive, deferred compensation or retirement plan or arrangement
(provided, FNFC and FNBV are permitted to grant reasonable and customary raises
to nonofficer employees in connection with annual employee reviews and
evaluations and in connection with promotions of existing employees); not to
make, extend or renew any loan or other extension of credit to any of their
officers, directors or employees other than loans made on substantially the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with other persons and that do not involve
more than the normal risks of collectibility or present other unfavorable
features; except as expressly permitted, not to pay any dividend or make any
distribution;  and not to make any change in their capital structures.

         Trustmark and Trustmark Bank's covenants include agreements:  to
operate their businesses in substantially the same manner as currently being
operated and to use their best efforts to maintain the good will of their
depositors, customers and suppliers; to use their best efforts to retain the
services of their officers and employees; and to notify FNFC of any unusual or
material problems or developments with respect to the business of either
Trustmark or Trustmark Bank.

         FNFC, FNBV, Trustmark and Trustmark Bank are each obligated to use
their best efforts to bring about the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement.

         SPECIAL AGREEMENTS

         Pursuant to Section 5.1 of the Merger Agreement, FNFC is permitted to
pay a cash dividend of $.20 per share for each quarterly period ending prior
to the Effective Date.

         Pursuant to Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement, Trustmark stated its
intention to continue the employment of the employees of FNBV after the
Effective Date.  However, as employees of Trustmark Bank, such persons are
subject to salary review, reassignment and termination in the same manner as
other employees of Trustmark Bank.





                                       29
<PAGE>   39
         Pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Merger Agreement and a separate
agreement among the directors of FNFC and the parties, all of FNFC and FNBV's
directors, other than Mr. Cappaert, agreed that, for a period of two years
from the Effective Date, they will not become directly, indirectly or
beneficially an employee, five percent or more stockholder or director of any
bank, savings bank, savings association, trust company, financial institution
or similar business enterprise which competes with Trustmark Bank, as successor
to FNBV, within Warren County, Mississippi.  These directors further agreed not
to initiate any action to induce any employee of Trustmark Bank, as successor
to FNBV, to leave Trustmark Bank's employment or directly or indirectly assist
any other person or entity in requesting or inducing any such other employee of
Trustmark Bank to leave such employment for a period of two years from the
Effective Date.  Additionally, pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Merger Agreement
and the separate agreement among FNFC's directors and the parties, FNFC and
FNFC's directors agreed not to solicit, initiate or encourage the making of any
proposal for the acquisition of FNFC or FNBV.

         Pursuant to Section 5.7 of the Merger Agreement, following the
Effective Date of the Merger, employees of FNBV will be entitled to the same
employee benefits as are provided to Trustmark Bank's other employees.

         Pursuant to Section 5.8 of the Merger Agreement and the separate
agreement among FNFC's directors and the parties, the directors of FNFC agreed
to recommend that the shareholders of FNFC approve the Merger and to vote their
FNFC shares in favor of the Merger.

         Pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Merger Agreement, FNFC and FNBV agreed
to notify and consult with Trustmark before making, advancing, extending or
renewing any significant loans or credits.

         In the course of negotiating the Merger Agreement, FNFC and Trustmark
reached various understandings that were not set out in the Merger Agreement.
These include:  (1) former FNFC directors and Emmett Haining will serve as an
advisory board to the Vicksburg branch of Trustmark Bank and will receive $350
for each advisory board meeting attended and, for a period of 12 months
following the Merger, $500 per month, (2) two former FNFC directors will be
nominated for election to Trustmark's board of directors, (3) the directors'
deferred income plan will be assumed by Trustmark, (4) Trustmark will continue
to provide automobiles to FNBV's three





                                       30

         The obligations of FNFC and FNBV to consummate the Mergers are
conditioned upon, among other things, the continued truth and accuracy of the
representations and warranties of Trustmark and Trustmark Bank; receipt of
required regulatory, director and shareholder approvals; the absence of any
material adverse change since December 31, 1993, in the condition, financial or
otherwise, of Trustmark or Trustmark Bank; FNFC and FNBV having received a
favorable revenue ruling or otherwise being satisfied that the Merger will
qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes;

qualified investment banker that the Merger is fair to the shareholders of
FNFC.

         TERMINATION

         The Merger Agreement may be terminated and the Mergers abandoned at
any time prior to the Effective Date without liability on the part of any party
as follows:

         (a)     By the mutual consents of the Boards of Directors of FNFC and
Trustmark;

         (b)     By Trustmark, if a state or federal governmental agency or
authority shall, at any time, fail to approve the transactions contemplated by
the Merger Agreement or shall have instituted court proceedings to restrain or
prohibit such transactions and such court proceedings shall not have been
resolved prior to May 4, 1995;

         (c)     By any party, if the Effective Date of the Mergers shall not
have occurred on or prior to May 4, 1995, without the fault of such party.

         (d)     By  Trustmark, if at the time of such termination there shall
have occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition or tangible
properties of FNFC or FNBV  subsequent to June 15, 1994;

         (e)     By FNFC, if at the time of such termination there shall have
occurred a material adverse change in the financial condition or tangible
properties of Trustmark or Trustmark Bank subsequent to December 31, 1993;

         (f)     By FNFC, if the average closing price of Trustmark's shares as
reported on the NASDAQ/NMS for the ten consecutive trading days preceding the
30th day prior to the Effective Date is less than $13.50 per share and such
price decline is, in the determination of FNFC's board of directors, a result
of an adverse development affecting the financial condition of Trustmark and
not affecting publicly traded financial institutions generally; however, unless
the average trading price is less than $12.875 per share, FNFC and FNBV are
required to pay Trustmark's reasonable expenses and attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with the Merger;


         (g)     By either Trustmark or FNFC if the shareholders of FNFC fail
to approve the Merger;

         (h)     By Trustmark, if there has been a material breach by either of
FNFC or FNBV of any representation, warranty or obligation set forth in the
Merger Agreement; or

         (i)     By FNFC if there has been a material breach by either of

PROCEDURE FOR EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

         As soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the Mergers, notice
will be given to FNFC and Trustmark Bank's shareholders of the procedure for
surrendering and exchanging their share certificates for share certificates
representing Trustmark common shares.

         Any FNFC or Trustmark Bank shareholder whose stock certificates have
been lost or destroyed will be required to provide Trustmark with a statement
certifying such loss or destruction and an indemnity (such as a lost or stolen
securities bond) satisfactory to Trustmark sufficient to indemnify Trustmark
against any loss or expense which may result from such lost or destroyed
certificates being thereafter presented to Trustmark for exchange.

         Until a former FNFC or Trustmark Bank shareholder has surrendered the
certificates representing his FNFC or Trustmark shares or provided indemnity as
provided above, such shareholder shall not be issued the Trustmark share
certificates to which he is entitled, and no dividends or other distributions
with respect to such Trustmark shares shall be paid.  However, when such
certificates are surrendered or indemnity provided, Trustmark shall pay,
without interest, all unpaid dividends and other distributions otherwise
payable with respect to such Trustmark shares.

RIGHTS OF DISSENTING SHAREHOLDERS

         The Merger

         Mississippi law provides dissenters' rights of appraisal in connection
with the merger of FNFC with and into Trustmark.  The following summarizes
Mississippi law in connection with such dissenters' rights.  This summary is
qualified in its entirety by reference to Miss. Code Ann. Section 79-4-13.01 
to 79-4-13.31, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "A" to this Proxy 
Statement-Prospectus.

         The availability of dissenters' rights is conditioned upon strict
compliance with applicable law.  Accordingly, any FNFC shareholder who wishes
to dissent from the proposed Merger and receive the value of his FNFC shares in
cash should consult independent counsel.

         Pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. Section 79-4-13.21(a), in order to be
eligible to exercise the right to dissent, a FNFC shareholder must (i) give
notice in writing to Trustmark prior to the vote on the Merger that he intends
to demand payment for his shares if the Merger is effectuated, and (ii) not
vote his shares in favor of the Merger.

         If the Merger is authorized at the Special Meeting, pursuant to Miss.
Code Ann. Section 79-4-13.22, Trustmark, within ten days after the Effective
Date of the Merger, must deliver a written notice (the "Dissenters Notice") to
all shareholders who satisfied the requirements of the preceding paragraph.
This notice must (i) state where the payment demand ("Payment Demand") must be
sent and where and when certificates for shares must be deposited, (ii) supply
a form for demanding payment that includes the date of the first announcement
to the news media or to shareholders of the terms of the proposed Merger and
requires that the shareholder asserting dissenters' rights certify whether he
acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before that date, (iii) set a date
by which Trustmark must receive the Payment Demand, which date may not be fewer
than 30 nor more than 60 days after the date the Dissenters' Notice is
delivered, and (iv) be accompanied by a copy of Miss. Code Ann. Section
79-4-13.01 et. seq.

         A shareholder sent a Dissenters' Notice must, pursuant to Miss. Code
Ann. Section 79-4-13.23, demand payment, certify whether he acquired
beneficial ownership of the shares before the date required to be set forth in
the Dissenters' Notice and deposit his certificates in accordance with the
terms of the Dissenters' Notice.

         A shareholder who demands payment and deposits his shares retains all
other rights of a shareholder until those rights are cancelled or modified by
the taking of the proposed corporate action.

         A shareholder who does not demand payment or deposit his share
certificates where required, each by the date set forth in the Dissenters'
Notice, is not entitled to payment for his shares.

         Pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. Section 79-4-13.25, as soon as the Merger
is effective, or upon receipt of a Payment Demand, Trustmark is required to pay
each dissenter who has complied with his obligations under law the amount
Trustmark estimates to be the fair value of his shares, plus accrued interest.

         This payment must be accompanied by (i) Trustmark's balance sheet as
of the end of a fiscal year ending not more than sixteen months before the date
of payment, an income statement for that year, a statement of changes in
shareholders' equity for the year, and the latest available interim financial
statements, if any; (ii) a statement of Trustmark's estimate of the fair value
of the shares; (iii) an explanation of how the interest was calculated; (iv) a
statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment under Miss. Code Ann.
Section 79-4-13.28; and (v) a copy of Miss. Code Ann. Section 79-4-13.01 et.
seq.

         Pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. Section 79-4-13.27, Trustmark may elect
to withhold payment from a dissenter who was not the beneficial

of the first announcement to news media or to FNFC's shareholders of the terms
of the proposed Merger.

         To the extent Trustmark elects to withhold payment as described in the
immediately preceding paragraph, after consummation of the Merger, Trustmark
shall estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and shall
pay this amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction
of his demand.  Trustmark shall send with its offer a statement of its estimate
of the fair value of the shares, an explanation of how the interest was
calculated and a statement of the dissenter's right to demand payment pursuant
to Miss. Code Ann. Section  79-4-13.28.

         Pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. Section  79-4-13.28, a dissenter may
notify Trustmark in writing of his estimate of the fair value of his shares and
amount of interest due, and demand payment of his estimate (less any payments
previously made) or reject Trustmark's offer under Section  79-4-13.27 and
demand payment of the fair value of his shares and interest due, if:  (i) the
dissenter believes that the amount paid under Section  79-4-13.25 or offered
under Section  79-4-13.27 is less than the fair value of his shares or that the
interest due is incorrectly calculated; (ii) Trustmark fails to make payment
under Section  79-4-13.25 within 60 days after the date set forth demanding
payment; or (iii) Trustmark, having failed to take the proposed action, does
not return the deposited certificates within 60 days after the date set forth
demanding payment.

         A dissenter waives his right to demand payment under Section
79-4-13.28 unless he notifies Trustmark of his demand in writing under this
section within 30 days after Trustmark made or offered payment for his shares.

         Pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. Section  79-4-13.30, if a demand for
payment under Miss. Code Ann. Section  79-4-13.28 remains unsettled, Trustmark
must commence a proceeding within 60 days after receiving the Payment Demand
and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued
interest.  If Trustmark does not commence this proceeding within this 60-day
period, it shall pay each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled the amount
demanded.
         Trustmark must commence this proceeding in the Chancery Court of Hinds
County.  Trustmark must make all dissenters whose demands remained unsettled
parties to the proceeding.  The Court may appoint one or more persons as
appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair
value.  The appraiser shall have the powers described in the order appointing
them, or in any amendment to it.  Dissenters are entitled to the same discovery
rights as parties to other civil litigation.

         Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment
for the amount, if any, by which the Court finds the fair





                                       42
<PAGE>   52
value of its shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount paid by Trustmark, or
(ii) for the fair value, plus accrued interest, of his after-acquired shares
for which Trustmark elected to withhold payment under Section 79-4-13.27.

         Pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. Section 79-4-13.31, the Court, in an
appraisal proceeding, shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including
the reasonable compensation and expense of appraisers appointed by the Court.
The Court shall assess these costs against Trustmark, except that the Court may
assess costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the Court finds
equitable, to the extent the Court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily,
vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment.

         The Court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts
for the respective parties, in amounts the Court finds equitable:  (i) against
Trustmark and in favor of any and all dissenters if the Court finds that
Trustmark did not substantially comply with the requirements of Section
79-4-13.20 through Section 79-4-13.28, or (ii) against either Trustmark or a
dissenter, in favor of any other party, if the Court finds that the party
against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously
or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by Miss. Code Ann.
Section 79-4-13.01 et. seq.

         If the Court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were
of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated and that the fees
for those services shall not be assessed against Trustmark, the Court may award
to those counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the
dissenters who were benefited.

         The Bank Merger

         FNBV is being combined with Trustmark Bank pursuant to 12 U.S.C.
Section 215.  Pursuant to this law, any shareholder of either FNBV or Trustmark
Bank who has voted against the combination at the special meeting of
shareholders or who has given notice in writing at or prior to such meeting to
the presiding officer that he dissents from the plan of consolidation, shall be
entitled to receive the value of the shares so held by him when such
consolidation is approved by the Comptroller of the Currency upon written
request made to the consolidated association at any time before 30 days after
the date of consummation of the consolidation, accompanied by the surrender of
his stock certificates.

         The value of the shares of any dissenting shareholder shall be
ascertained, as of the effective date of the consolidation, by an appraisal
made by a committee of three persons composed of (1) one selected by the vote
of the holders of the majority of the stock, the owners of which are entitled
to payment in cash; (2) one selected by the directors of the consolidated
banking association;





                                       43
<PAGE>   53
and (3) one selected by the two so selected.  The valuation agreed upon by any
two of the three appraisers shall govern.  If the value so fixed shall not be
satisfactory to any dissenting shareholder who has requested payment, that
shareholder may, within five days after being notified of the appraised value
of his shares, appeal to the Comptroller of the Currency, who shall cause a
reappraisal to be made which shall be final and binding as to the value of the
shares.

         If, within 90 days from the date of consummation of the consolidation,
for any reason one or more of the appraisers is not selected, or the appraisers
fail to determine the value of such shares, the Comptroller of the Currency
shall, upon written request of any interested party, cause an appraisal to be
made, which shall be final and binding on all parties.  The expenses of the
Comptroller of the Currency in making the reappraisal or appraisal, as the case
may be, shall be paid by the consolidated banking association.  The value of
the shares ascertained shall be promptly paid to the dissenting shareholders by
the consolidated banking association.  Within 30 days after payment has been
made  to all dissenting shareholders, the shares of stock which would have been
delivered to such dissenting shareholders had they not requested payment shall
be sold at an advertised public auction, unless some other method of sale is
approved by the Comptroller of the Currency, and the consolidated banking
association shall have the right to purchase any of such shares at such public
auction, if it is the highest bidder therefor, for the purpose of reselling
such shares within 30 days thereafter to such person or persons and at such
price not less than par as its Board of Directors by resolution may determine.
If these shares are sold at public auction at a price greater than the amount
paid to the dissenting shareholders the excess of such sales price shall be
paid to such shareholders.


FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

         The federal income tax discussion set forth herein has been prepared
by Brunini, Grantham, Grower & Hewes, counsel to Trustmark, and, except as
indicated, reflects such counsel's opinion as to certain of the material
federal income tax consequences of the Mergers.  This discussion does not
necessarily address all aspects of federal income taxation that may be
applicable to each FNFC and Trustmark Bank shareholder and does not address the
effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws.  In view of the
individual nature of federal income tax consequences,  FNFC and Trustmark
Bank's shareholders should consult their own tax advisers as to the particular
tax consequences of the Mergers to them.  The discussion is based on the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, regulations and rulings now in effect or
proposed thereunder, current administrative rulings and practices, and judicial
precedent, all of which are subject to





                                       44
<PAGE>   54
change.  Any such change, which may or may not be retroactive, could alter the
tax consequences discussed herein.  The discussion is also based on certain
representations made by the parties.  If any such representations are
inaccurate, the tax consequence of the Mergers could differ from those
described below.

         The Merger Agreement provides that, as a condition to the parties'
obligations to consummate the Mergers, each party must be satisfied that the
Mergers will qualify as tax-free reorganizations for federal income tax
purposes.  It is anticipated that Brunini, Grantham, Grower & Hewes, counsel to
Trustmark, will render its opinion that the transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement will qualify as tax-free reorganizations within the meaning of
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

         The Merger

         It is intended that, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger will
be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code and that, accordingly, (i) no gain or loss will be
recognized by  FNFC's shareholders upon the receipt of Trustmark common shares
in exchange for FNFC common shares in connection with the Merger (except as
discussed below with respect to the cash portion of the transaction and with
respect to the cash received in lieu of fractional shares), (ii) the tax basis
of the Trustmark common shares to be received by  FNFC's shareholders in
connection with the Merger shall be the same as the basis  in the FNFC shares
surrendered in exchange therefor (reduced by the amount of cash received and
increased by the amount of cash received treated as a dividend), and (iii) the
holding period of the Trustmark shares to be received by FNFC's shareholders in
connection with the Merger will include the holding period of the FNFC common
shares surrendered in exchange therefor, provided that the FNFC shares are held
as a capital asset as of the Effective Date of the Merger.

         The payment of cash in lieu of fractional Trustmark shares in
connection with the Merger will be treated as if the fractional shares were
distributed as part of the exchange and then redeemed by Trustmark.  These cash
payments will be treated as distributions in full payment in exchange for the
shares redeemed, subject to the provisions of Section 302 of the Internal
Revenue Code.

         The cash portion of the consideration to be received in connection
with the Merger, including the cash received by FNFC's shareholders exercising
dissenters' rights of appraisal, will be treated as having been received by
such shareholders as a distribution in redemption of such shareholder's stock,
subject to the provisions and limitations of Section 302 of the Internal
Revenue Code.

         The Bank Merger

         It is intended that, for federal income tax purposes, the Bank Merger
and the exchange of Trustmark Bank common shares  for Trustmark common shares
will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code and that, accordingly, (i) no gain or loss will be
recognized by  Trustmark Bank's shareholders upon the receipt of Trustmark
common shares in exchange for Trustmark Bank common shares in connection with
the Bank Merger, (ii) the tax basis of the Trustmark common shares to be
received by the Trustmark Bank shareholders in connection with the Bank Merger
shall be the same as the basis in the Trustmark Bank shares surrendered in
exchange therefor, and (iii) the holding period of the Trustmark shares to be
received by Trustmark Bank's shareholders in connection with the Bank Merger
will include the holding period of the Trustmark Bank common shares surrendered
in exchange therefor, provided that the Trustmark Bank shares are held as a
capital asset as of the Effective Date of the Bank Merger.

         A Trustmark Bank shareholder who exercises dissenters' rights of
appraisal and receives cash in lieu of Trustmark shares in connection with the
Bank Merger will be treated as having received a distribution in redemption of
such shareholder's stock in Trustmark Bank, subject to the provisions of
Section 302 of the Internal Revenue Code.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

         The combinations resulting from the Mergers will be treated as a
pooling of interests for financial reporting purposes.

         As such, subject to certain adjustments, including adjustments for
inter-company transactions, the various asset, liability and capital accounts
of the constituent entities will be combined.

RESALES OF TRUSTMARK COMMON SHARES

         The Trustmark common shares to be issued in connection with the
Mergers have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and, if
necessary, applicable state securities laws.    However, such registrations do
not cover resales by persons  who are "affiliates" of FNFC or Trustmark Bank.
Persons who may be deemed affiliates of FNFC or Trustmark Bank generally
include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by or are under
common control with such entities and may include certain officers, directors
and principal shareholders.  In general, for a period of two years following
the Mergers, persons who were affiliates of FNFC or Trustmark Bank at the time
the Mergers were submitted to a shareholder vote and who do not become
affiliates of Trustmark may resell the Trustmark shares acquired in the
Mergers; however, during any three-month period they cannot sell more than one
percent of the number of Trustmark shares outstanding and must make all sales
pursuant to "brokerage" transactions. After this two-year period, these
persons may generally resell the Trustmark shares acquired in the Mergers
without limitation. Since one percent of Trustmark's outstanding





                                       46
<PAGE>   56
shares will equal approximately 349,104 shares following the Mergers, the
foregoing limitation should have no practical effect on resales by FNFC or 
Trustmark Bank's affiliates.  Trustmark common shares issued pursuant to the 
Mergers to persons who are not affiliates of FNFC or Trustmark Bank should be 
freely transferrable without restriction.

         Persons who are  affiliates of Trustmark following the Mergers may
resell Trustmark shares acquired in the Merger subject to the limitations 
of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

REGULATORY AUTHORITY APPROVALS

         Consummation of the Mergers is subject to and conditioned upon the
receipt of the approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller of the
Currency and the absence of objection by the United States Department of
Justice.

         Trustmark and FNFC have filed applications for approval of the Mergers
with the Federal Reserve Board and the Comptroller of the Currency.  There can
be no assurance that the Mergers will be approved, that any such approvals will
occur in a timely manner or that any such approvals or acquiescences will not
be conditioned upon matters that would cause the parties to abandon the Merger.


MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS  AFTER THE MERGERS

         On the Effective Date of the Mergers:  (i) FNFC shall be merged into
Trustmark, (ii) FNBV shall be consolidated  with Trustmark Bank under the
charter of Trustmark Bank, and (iii) the separate corporate existences of FNFC
and FNBV shall cease.  FNFC's shareholders and Trustmark Bank's minority
shareholders not exercising dissenters' rights of appraisal will become
shareholders of Trustmark.  FNBV will become a branch bank of Trustmark Bank.
The present officers and directors of Trustmark Bank will remain as officers
and directors of the surviving entity following the Bank Merger.  The current
officers of FNBV initially will become officers of Trustmark Bank, with titles
and salaries the same as existed while employed by FNBV.  The current directors
of FNFC and Emmett Haining will serve as advisory directors of the Vicksburg
branch of Trustmark Bank.

         Information concerning the current directors and executive officers of
Trustmark is contained in the proxy statement for Trustmark's 1994 annual
meeting of shareholders.  Copies of Trustmark's 1994 proxy statement and annual
report on Form 10-K may be obtained on request from Trustmark, 248 E. Capitol
Street, Jackson, Mississippi 39201, ATTN:  David R. Carter, Treasurer.

<PAGE>   60
                 (1)      Consummation of a plan of merger to which the
                          corporation is a party (i) if shareholder approval is

                          within one (1) year after the date of sale;

                 (4)      An amendment of the articles of incorporation that
                          materially and adversely affects rights in respect of
                          a dissenter's shares because it:

                          (i)     Alters or abolishes a preferential right of
                 the shares;

                          (ii)    Creates, alters or abolishes a right in

                          (iii)   Alters or abolishes a preemptive right of the
                 holder of the shares to acquire shares or other securities;

                          (iv)    Excludes or limits the right of the shares to
                 vote on any matter, or to cumulate votes, other than a
                 limitation by dilution through issuance of shares or other
                 securities with similar voting rights; or

                          (v)     Reduces the number of shares owned by the
                 shareholder to a fraction of a share if the fractional share so
                 created is to be acquired for cash under Section 79-4-6.04; or

                 (5)      Any corporate action taken pursuant to a shareholder
                          vote to the extent the articles of





                                       51
<PAGE>   61
                          incorporation, bylaws or a resolution of the board of
                          directors provides that voting or nonvoting
                          shareholders are entitled to dissent and obtain
                          payment for their shares.

         (b)     Nothing in subsection (a)(4) shall entitle a shareholder of a
corporation to dissent and obtain payment for his shares as a result of an

                 shareholder asserts dissenters' rights; and

         (b)     To the extent the corporation elects to withhold payment under

payment of his estimate (less any payment under Section 79-4-13.25), or reject
the corporation's offer under Section 79-4-13.27 and demand payment of the fair
value of his shares and interest due, if:

                 (1)      The dissenter believes that the amount paid under
                          Section 79-4-13.25 or offered under Section 
                          79-4-13.27 is less than the fair value of his shares
                          or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated;

<PAGE>   65
                 (2)      The corporation fails to make payment under Section
                          79-4-13.25 within sixty (60) days after the date set
                          for demanding payment; or

                 (3)      The corporation, having failed to take the proposed
                          action, does not return the deposited certificates or
                          release the transfer restrictions imposed on
                          uncertificated shares within sixty (60) days after
                          the date set for demanding payment.

         (b)     A dissenter waives his right to demand payment under this
section unless he notifies the corporation of his demand in writing under
subsection (a) within thirty (30) days after the corporation made or offered
payment for his shares.

SECTION 79-4-13.30.      COURT ACTION.

         (a)     If a demand for payment under Section 79-4-13.28 remains
unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within sixty (60) days
after receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair
value of the shares and accrued interest.  If the corporation does not commence
the proceeding within the 60-day period, it shall pay each dissenter whose
demand remains unsettled the amount demanded.

         (b)     The corporation shall commence the proceeding in the chancery
court of the county where a corporation's principal office (or, if none in this
state, its registered office) is located.  If the corporation is a foreign
corporation without a registered office in this state, it shall commence the
proceeding in the county in this state where the registered office of the
domestic corporation merged with or whose shares were acquired by the foreign
corporation was located.

         (c)     The corporation shall make all dissenters (whether or not
residents of this state) whose demands remain unsettled parties to the
proceeding as in an action against their shares and all parties must be served
with a copy of the petition.  Nonresidents may be served by registered or
certified mail or by publication as provided by law.

         (d)     The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is
commenced under subsection (b) is plenary and exclusive.  The court may appoint
one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend decision on
the question of fair value.  The appraisers have the powers described in the
order appointing them, or in any amendment to it.  The dissenters are entitled
to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.

         (e)     Each dissenter made a party to the proceeding is entitled to
judgment (1) for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of
his shares, plus interest, exceeds the amount





                                       56
<PAGE>   66
paid by the corporation, or (2) for the fair value, plus accrued interest, of
his after-acquired shares for which the corporation elected to withhold payment
under Section 79-4-13.27.

SECTION 79-4-13.31.      COURT COSTS AND COUNSEL FEES.

         (a)      The court in an appraisal proceeding commenced under Section
79-4-13.30 shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the
reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court.  The
court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may
assess costs against all or some of the dissenters, in amounts the court finds
equitable, to the extent the court finds the dissenters acted arbitrarily,
vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment under Section 79-4-13.28.

         (b)     The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and
experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

                 (1)      Against the corporation and in favor of any or all
                          dissenters if the court finds the corporation did not
                          substantially comply with the requirements of
                          Sections 79-4-13.20 through 79-4-13.28; or

                 (2)      Against either the corporation or a dissenter, in
                          favor of any other party, if the court finds that the
                          party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed
                          acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith
                          with respect to the rights provided by this article.

         (c)     If the court finds that the services of counsel for any
dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated,
and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the
corporation, the court may award to these counsel reasonable fees to be paid
out of the amounts awarded the dissenters who were benefited.

                                  June 1, 1994



Board of Directors
First National Financial Corporation
P. O. Box 39
Vicksburg, Mississippi 39180

Members of the Board:


You have requested our opinion, as an independent financial analyst to the
common shareholders of First National Financial Corporation, Vicksburg,
Mississippi ("Company"), as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of
the terms of the proposed merger of Company with and into Trustmark
Corporation, Jackson, Mississippi ("Trustmark").  Pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement and the Plan and Agreement of Merger, as of the Effective Time
of the Holding Company Merger, each share of Company common stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Holding Company
Merger (other than such shares as to which dissenters' rights of appraisal have
been perfected and not withdrawn) shall be converted into (i) cash in the
amount of $0.79363 per share and (ii) 2.59736 Trustmark shares.

As part of its banking analysis business, Alex Sheshunoff & Co. Investment
Banking is continually engaged in the valuation of bank, bank holding company
and thrifts securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions nationwide.
Prior to being retained for this assignment, Alex Sheshunoff & Co. Investment
Banking has provided professional services and products to Company.  The
revenues derived from such services and products are insignificant when
compared to the firm's total gross revenues.





                                       58
<PAGE>   68
In connection with this assignment, we reviewed (i) the Merger Agreement and
the Plan and Agreement of Merger between Company and Trustmark; (ii) the most
recent external auditor's reports to the Boards of Directors of each
organization; (iii) the March 31, 1994 Balance Sheet and Income Statements for
each organization and the audited December 31, 1993 Balance Sheet and Income
Statements for each organization; (iv) the Rate Sensitivity Analysis reports
for each organization; (v) each organization's listing of marketable securities
showing rate, maturity and market value as compared to book value; (vi) each
organization's internal loan classification list; (vii) a listing of other real
estate owned for each organization; (viii) the budget and long range operating
plan of each organization; (ix) a listing of unfunded letters of credit and any
other off-balance sheet risks for each organization; (x) the Minutes of the
Board of Directors meetings of each organization; (xi) the most recent Board
report for each organization; (xii) the listing and description of significant
real properties for each organization; (xiii) material leases on real and
personal property; (xiv) the directors and officers' liability and blanket bond
insurance policies for each organization; and (xv) market conditions and
current trading levels of outstanding equity securities of both organizations.

We have also had discussions with the management of Company and Trustmark
regarding their respective financial results and have analyzed the most current
financial data available on Company and Trustmark.  We also considered such
other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations, and economic
and market criteria which we deemed relevant.  We have met with the management
of Company and Trustmark to discuss the foregoing information with them.

We have considered certain financial data of Company and Trustmark, and have
compared that data with similar data for other banks and bank holding companies
which have recently merged or been acquired; furthermore, we have considered
the financial terms of these business combinations involving said banks and
bank holding companies.

We have not independently verified any of the information reviewed by us and
have relied on its being complete and accurate in all material respects.  In
addition, we have not made an independent evaluation of the assets of Company
or Trustmark.

In reaching our opinion we took into consideration the financial benefits of
the proposed transaction to all Company common shareholders.  Based on all
factors that we deem relevant and assuming the accuracy and completeness of the
information and data provided to us by Company and Trustmark, it is our opinion
as of June 1, 1994 that the proposed transaction is fair and equitable to all
Company common shareholders from a financial point of view.

We hereby consent to the reference to our firm in the proxy statement or
prospectus related to the merger transaction and to the inclusion of our
opinion as an exhibit to the proxy statement or prospectus related to the
merger transaction.

         Pursuant to Article VI, Section 2 of the bylaws of Trustmark

employee of the corporation or of any other firm, corporation or organization
which he served in any such capacity at the request of the corporation.
Provided, such person shall have no right to indemnification or reimbursement
in relation to any matters in which he is finally adjudged to have been guilty
of or liable for negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his
duties; and, provided further, that no person shall be so indemnified or
reimbursed in relation to any administrative proceeding or action instituted by
any appropriate bank regulatory agency which proceeding or action results in a
final order assessing civil monetary penalties or requiring affirmative action
by an individual or individuals in the form of payments to the corporation.

         In addition, pursuant to the Mississippi Business Corporation Act,
directors and officers are entitled to indemnification in certain events as

                          (i)     In the case of conduct in his official
                 capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in its
                 best interests; and

                          (ii)    In all other cases, that his conduct was at
                 least not opposed to its best interests; and

                 (3)      In the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no
                          reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

         (b)     A director's conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan
         for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the
         participants in and beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that
         satisfies the requirement of subsection (a)(2)(ii).

         (c)     The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order,
         settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or





                                      II-2
<PAGE>   72
         its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative that the director did
         not meet the standard of conduct described in this section.

         (d)     A corporation may not indemnify a director under this section:

                 (1)      In connection with a proceeding by or in the right of
                 the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to
                 the corporation; or

                 (2)      In connection with any other proceeding charging
                 improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving
                 action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged
                 liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly
                 received by him.

         (e)     Indemnification permitted under this section in connection
         with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to
         reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

SECTION 79-4-8.52.        MANDATORY INDEMNIFICATION.

         Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall
indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a
director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by him in
connection with the proceeding.

SECTION 79-4-8.53.        ADVANCE FOR EXPENSES.

         (a)     A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses
incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final
disposition of the proceeding if:

                 (1)      The director furnishes the corporation a written
         affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of
         conduct described in Section 79-4-8.51;

                 (2)      The director furnishes the corporation a written
         undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the
         advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the
         standard of conduct; and

                 (3)      A determination is made that the facts then known to
         those making the determination would not preclude indemnification
         under this subarticle.

         (b)     The undertaking required by subsection (a)(2) must be an
unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be
accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.





                                      II-3
<PAGE>   73
         (c)     Determinations and authorizations of payments under this
section shall be made in the manner specified in Section 79-4-8.55.

SECTION 79-4-8.54.        COURT ORDERED INDEMNIFICATION.

         Unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a
director of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding may apply for
indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of
competent jurisdiction.  On receipt of an application, the court after giving
any notice the court considers necessary may order indemnification if it
determines:

                 (1)      The director is entitled to mandatory indemnification
         under Section 79-4-8.52, in which case the court shall also order the
         corporation to pay the director's reasonable expenses incurred to
         obtain court-ordered indemnification; or

                 (2)      The director is fairly and reasonably entitled to
         indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or
         not he met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 79-4-8.51 or
         was adjudged liable as described in Section 79-4-8.51(d), but if he
         was adjudged so liable his indemnification is limited to reasonable
         expenses incurred.

SECTION 79-4-8.55.        DETERMINATION AND AUTHORIZATION OF INDEMNIFICATION.

         (a)     A corporation may not indemnify a director under Section
79-4-8.51 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been
made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances
because he has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 79-4-8.51.

         (b)     The determination shall be made:

                 (1)      By the board of directors by majority vote of a
         quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the
         proceeding;

                 (2)      If a quorum cannot be obtained under subdivision (1),
         by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of
         directors (in which designation directors who are parties may
         participate), consisting solely of two (2) or more directors not at
         the time parties to the proceeding;

                 (3)      By special legal counsel:

                          (i)     Selected by the board of directors or its
                 committee in the manner prescribed in subdivision (1) or (2);
                 or

                          (ii)    If a quorum of the board of directors cannot
                 be obtained under subdivision (1) and a committee cannot be





                                      II-4
<PAGE>   74
                 designated under subdivision (2), selected by a majority vote
                 of the full board of directors (in which selection directors
                 who are parties may participate); or

                 (4)      By the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted
         under the control of directors who are at the time parties to the
         proceeding may not be voted on the determination.

         (c)     Authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to
reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the 
determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the
determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of 
indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made
by those entitled under subsection (b)(3) to select counsel.

SECTION 79-4-8.56.        INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.

         Unless a corporation's articles of incorporation provide otherwise:

         (1)     An officer of the corporation who is not a director is 
entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 79-4-8.52, and is entitled 
to apply for court-ordered indemnification under Section 79-4-8.54, in each 
case to the same extent as a director;

         (2)     The corporation may indemnify and advance expenses under this
subarticle to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation who is not a
director to the same extent as to a director; and

         (3)     A corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an
officer, employee or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent with
public policy, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws,
general or specific action of its board of directors or contract.

SECTION 79-4-8.57.        INSURANCE.

         A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of an
individual who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise, against liability asserted against or incurred by him in that
capacity or arising from his status as a director, officer, employee or agent,
whether or not the corporation would have power to indemnify him against the
same liability under Section 79-4-8.51 or 79-4-8.52.

<PAGE>   75
SECTION 79-4-8.58.        APPLICATION OF ARTICLE.

         (a)     Unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws provide
otherwise, any authorization of indemnification in the articles of 
incorporation or bylaws shall not be deemed to prevent the corporation from
providing the indemnification permitted or mandated by this subarticle.

         (b)     Any corporation shall have power to make any further 
indemnity, including advance of expenses, to and to enter contracts of 
indemnity with any director, officer, employee or agent that may be authorized
by the articles of incorporation or any bylaw made by the shareholders or any
resolution adopted, before or after the event, by the shareholders, except an
indemnity against his gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Unless the
articles of incorporation, or any such bylaws or resolution provide otherwise,
any determination as to any further indemnity shall be made in accordance with
subsection (b) of Section 79-4-8.55.  Each such indemnity may continue as to a
person who has ceased to have the capacity referred to above and may inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

         (c)     This subarticle does not limit a corporation's power to pay or
reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with his appearance as
a witness in a proceeding at a time when he has not been made a named defendant
or respondent to the proceeding.

ITEM 22(c).  EXHIBIT B TO PROXY STATEMENT-PROSPECTUS

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS

         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the registrant's bylaws, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent,





                                      II-7
<PAGE>   77
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests
for information that is incorporated by reference into the Proxy Statement
pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of the Form S-4, within one business day
of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first
class mail or equally prompt means.  This includes information contained in
documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement
through the date of responding to the request.

         The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a
post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the
company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and
included in the Registration Statement when it becomes effective.

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant has
duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Jackson, State of
Mississippi on May 27, 1994.

                 3.1      Organization.  Company is a Mississippi corporation,
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Mississippi and has all requisite corporate power and authority to

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United

approved by the Boards of Directors of Company and FNB. Upon approval by the
shareholders of Company and FNB and upon obtaining the approval of all
governmental and regulatory agencies or authorities whose approval is required
(and such approvals are no longer subject to judicial or administrative review,
and all waiting periods required by law have expired):
                          (a)     This Agreement will be a valid and binding
obligation of Sellers, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and
                          (b)     Consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement will not:  (1) result in a breach of or default





                                       3
<PAGE>   4
under any material agreement to which either of the Sellers is a party,  (2)
conflict with or result in the breach of any law, rule or regulation, or any
writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental agency, or (3) conflict
with, or result in the breach of, the charter or bylaws of Company or FNB.
                 3.3      Capitalization.  The authorized capital stock of
Company consists of 2,000,000 shares of common stock, $4.00 par value, of which
1,386,023 shares are issued and outstanding.
                          The authorized capital stock of FNB consists of
585,814 shares of common stock, $4.00 par value, of which 585,814 shares are
issued and outstanding and all of which are owned by Company.
                          Each share of Company and FNB stock outstanding as of
the date hereof is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non
assessable and free of preemptive rights.  Neither Company nor FNB has
outstanding any other equity securities or any subscriptions, options,
warrants, rights, calls or other commitments to issue any securities or to
convert any presently outstanding equity securities into securities of a
different kind or class.  Except for Company's promissory note in the
approximate principal balance of $1.260 million issued to Deville 1991 Limited
Partnership, neither Company nor FNB have any other debt securities
outstanding.
                 3.4      Financial Statements.  Sellers have delivered to
Buyers the audited financial statements of Company and its consolidated
subsidiary for the years ended December 31, 1991, December 31, 1992 and
December 31, 1993.  As promptly as the same are available, Sellers shall
deliver to Buyers copies of all quarterly and annual financial statements of
Company and the quarterly call reports of FNB filed subsequent to the date
hereof and prior to the Closing Date.  The financial statements delivered
pursuant to this Section 3.4 (subject to audit adjustments to any

conditions of Company and FNB, as the case may be, as of the dates thereof and
have been or will be prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, for the periods involved.  The call reports
delivered pursuant to this Section 3.4 do and will fairly, as of the date
thereof, present the financial information required to be shown therein.
Management believes in its best judgement that the $2,363,749 reserve for loan
losses reflected in the audited financial statements for the period ending
December 31, 1993 adequately provides for the anticipated loan losses of FNB as
of such date.
                 3.5      Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Neither
Company nor FNB have any known liabilities of any nature whatsoever, whether

the period ending December 31, 1993, or otherwise disclosed in this Agreement
or the documents, statements, lists, and exhibits referred to herein and
delivered pursuant to and prior to completion of the due diligence examination

whole.
                 3.6      Compliance with Laws.   Except as set forth in the

their significant tangible assets free of significant liens, encumbrances and
claims, except as required by law for the deposit of public funds and to secure
repos.  Leases covering material tangible assets in which Company or FNB have a
leasehold interest only are valid and enforceable in accordance with their
terms and the Mergers will not result in a default thereunder.

Agreement, Sellers have supplied Buyers with copies of all contracts, leases,
licenses and all pension or profit sharing agreements ("Plans") and other

kind, and neither has received any notice of material assessment or proposed
material assessment of any tax.

in each case in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles,
consistently applied.

<PAGE>   30
                 On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, Company shall merge with and into Trustmark pursuant
to the Plan and Agreement of Merger attached as Exhibit "A", FNB will
consolidate with and into Trustmark Bank pursuant to the Plan and Agreement of
Consolidation attached as Exhibit "B". The Holding Company Merger will be
effective  (the "Effective Time of the Holding Company Merger") upon the filing
of articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Mississippi.
The Bank Consolidation will be effective (the "Effective Time of the Bank
Consolidation") at the time established by the United States Comptroller of the
Currency.
                 At the Effective Time of the Mergers, the separate corporate
existence of Company and FNB, respectively, shall cease.  Trustmark shall be
the surviving corporation of the Holding Company Merger and Trustmark Bank
shall be the surviving association of the Bank Consolidation.
                 Closing will take place at the main office of FNB on a date
selected by Buyers within 30 days after all conditions to Closing have been
satisfied or waived (the "Closing Date").   At  the Closing, the certificates,
letters and opinions required by Articles 8 and 9 hereof shall be delivered and
the appropriate officers of Company, FNB, Trustmark and Trustmark Bank shall
execute, deliver, acknowledge and file such documents, instruments and
certificates required by this Agreement or otherwise necessary to accomplish
the Holding Company Merger and the Bank Consolidation.
                 10.1     Conversion of Shares.  As of the Effective Time of
the Holding Company Merger, by virtue of the merger and without any further
action on the part of the holders of any Company shares, each share of Company
common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of
the Holding Company Merger (other than such shares as to which dissenter's
rights of





                                       30
<PAGE>   31
appraisal have been perfected and not withdrawn) shall be converted into (i)
cash in the amount of $0.79363 per share and (ii) 2.59736 Trustmark shares.
                          As of the Effective Time of the Bank Consolidation,
by virtue of the consolidation and without any further action on the part of
the holder of the FNB shares, each share of FNB common  stock issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Bank Consolidation
shall be converted into a number of Trustmark Bank shares to be determined by
Trustmark Bank and delivered to Trustmark.
                          As soon as practical after the Effective Time of the
Holding Company Merger, notice will be given to all shareholders of Company as
of the Effective Date of the Holding Company Merger, of the procedure for
surrendering and exchanging their share certificates representing Company
common shares for share certificates representing Trustmark shares and cash.
The notice will include instructions with respect to the surrender of
certificates representing the Company common shares and the distribution of
Trustmark shares and cash in exchange therefor and a letter of transmittal  for
use  in surrendering Company common share certificates.
                 10.2     Lost or Destroyed Certificates.  Any person whose
certificates representing Company common shares shall have been lost or
destroyed may nevertheless obtain the Trustmark shares to which such Company
common shareholder is entitled as a result of the Holding Company Merger,
provided such Company common shareholder provides Trustmark with a statement
certifying such loss or destruction and an indemnity satisfactory to Trustmark
sufficient to indemnify Trustmark against any loss or expense that may occur as
a result of such lost or destroyed certificates being thereafter presented to
Trustmark for exchange.





                                       31
<PAGE>   32
                 10.3     Rights Prior to Exchange.  Until a former Company
common shareholder has surrendered the certificates representing his Company
common shares or provided indemnity as permitted in Section 10.2, such former
Company common shareholder shall not be entitled to receive cash or
certificates representing the Trustmark shares to which such shareholder is
entitled by virtue of the Holding Company Merger and no dividend or other
distribution with respect of Trustmark shares will be paid to such persons;
provided, however, that when such certificates shall have been surrendered or
indemnity provided, there shall be paid to such persons, without interest, all
dividends and other distributions payable in respect of a record date after the
Effective Time of the Holding Company Merger on the Trustmark shares for which
such Company common shares shall have been exchanged.
                 10.4     Fractional Shares. No fractional Trustmark shares
will be issued upon the surrender for exchange of certificates representing
Company common shares.  In lieu of any such fractional share, each holder of
Company common shares who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of
Trustmark common stock will be paid in cash upon surrender of all the stock
certificates representing Company common shares held by such holder in the
amount equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by $15.50.
                 10.5     Adjustment of Merger Consideration.  If, between the
date of this Agreement and the Effective Time of the Holding Company Merger,
Trustmark's shares shall be changed into a different number of shares or shares
of a different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split
up or stock dividend with a record date within said period, the number of
Trustmark shares to be issued and delivered upon the Holding Company Merger as
provided in this Agreement will be appropriately and proportionately adjusted
so that the number of such shares that will be issued and delivered upon the
Holding Company Merger will





                                       32
<PAGE>   33
equal the number of Trustmark shares that holders of Company common shares
would have received had the record date of such reclassification,
recapitalization,  split up or stock dividend been immediately following the
Effective Time of the Holding Company Merger.
                 10.6     Further Assurance.   If, at any time after the
Effective Times of the Mergers, Trustmark or Trustmark Bank shall consider or
be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other
actions or things that are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm,
of record or otherwise, in the surviving corporation its right,  title  or
interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of Company or
FNB acquired or to be acquired as a result of the Holding Company Merger or the
Bank Consolidation or to otherwise carry out this Agreement, the officers and
directors of Trustmark and Trustmark Bank shall, and will be authorized to,
execute and deliver,  in the name and on behalf of Company and FNB all such
deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and take and do, in the name
of and on behalf of Company and FNB, all such other actions and things as may
be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title
and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in Trustmark
and Trustmark Bank or to otherwise carry out this Agreement.
                 10.7    Market Price Fluctuations.   If the average closing
market price (computed on the basis of the last trade of the day) of Trustmark
shares as reported in the National Association of Securities' Dealers Automated
Quotation System for National Market Issues for the ten consecutive trading
days preceding the 30th day prior to the Closing Date (the "Average Trustmark
Price") is less than $13.50 per share, the following provisions shall apply:
                 




                                       33
<PAGE>   34
                 (1)      Buyers and Sellers shall promptly meet to consider
the implications of the Average Trustmark Price on the proposed transaction;
                 (2)      The Boards of Directors of Trustmark and Company
shall be fully authorized, under the circumstances and in the best interests of
each organization, to renegotiate the applicable conversion ratios for the
amount of cash and the number of shares of Trustmark stock into which Company
common shares shall be converted;
                 (3)      If the decline in the Average Trustmark Price is
determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Company to be attributable to
a general market decline affecting the value of publicly traded financial
institutions, the Board of Directors of Company shall have the authority to
proceed to closing and consummate the Holding Company Merger for the price and
on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;
                 (4)      If the decline in the Average Trustmark Price is
determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Company to be attributable to
a substantial adverse development affecting the financial condition of
Trustmark only and not the market value of publicly traded financial
institutions generally, Sellers may terminate the Agreement upon written notice
to Buyers; and
                 (5)      In the event that Sellers exercise their right of
termination under and in accordance with the above provisions of this Section
10.7, Sellers shall reimburse and pay to Buyers all of Buyers' reasonable
expenses, including but not limited to attorney's fees which Buyers shall have
incurred under this Agreement and in pursuance of the transactions covered by
this Agreement.
                 (6)      If the Average Trustmark Price is less than $12.875
per share, and Sellers elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 10.7, subsection





                                       34
<PAGE>   35
10.7 (5) above shall not apply and each party shall bear their own expenses.

         11.     TERMINATION.
                 This Agreement may be terminated and the Mergers  may be
abandoned  without liability on the part of Sellers or Buyers, as follows:
                          (a)     By the mutual consents of the boards of
directors of Company and Trustmark;
                          (b)     By Trustmark if a state or federal
governmental agency or authority shall at any time fail to approve the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or shall have instituted and not
dismissed court proceedings to restrain or prohibit such transactions and such
court proceedings have not been resolved prior to one year after the date of
this Agreement.
                          (c)     By any party if the Closing Date shall not
have occurred on or prior to the day that is one year after the date of this
Agreement  without the fault of such party;
                          (d)     By Trustmark or Trustmark Bank at any time
during the due diligence examination period as provided in Section 5.10 if such
examination, in Buyers opinion, reveals  previously  unknown, adverse
information concerning Company or FNB; or
                          (e)     By  Buyers,  if  at  the  time  of  such
termination  there  shall  be  a material  adverse change  in  the financial
condition or tangible properties of Sellers arising subsequent to  the
completion of due diligence as referred to in Section 5.10.
                          (f)     By  Sellers, if at the time of such
termination there shall be a material adverse change in the financial
condition or tangible properties of Buyers arising subsequent to December 31,
1993.

meeting of stockholders called for such purpose (including any adjournment or
postponement thereof);

and all elections shall be held according to such lawful regulations as may be

         3.      SPECIAL MEETINGS.     Special meetings of stockholders, for
any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called

corporation entitled to vote at such meetings. Business transacted at all
special meetings shall be confined to the objects stated in the call.

         6.      QUORUM.     A majority of the outstanding shares of the
corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders, unless otherwise provided
by law; but less than a quorum may adjourn any meeting, from time to time, and
the meeting may be held, as adjourned, without further notice.

         7.      VOTING OF SHARES.     If a quorum is present, the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to
vote shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the vote of a greater number
is required by law for any specific purpose.  Voting at all meetings may be
oral, but any qualified voter may demand a stock vote whereupon the vote will
be taken by ballot, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder
voting and the number of shares voted by him; and if such ballot be cast by a
proxy, it shall also state the name of such





                                       3

person or by proxy, the number of shares owned by him for as many persons as
there are Directors to be elected, and for whose election he has a right to
vote, or to cumulate his votes by giving one candidate as many votes as the
number of such Directors multiplied by the number of his shares shall equal, or
by distributing such votes on the same principle among any number of such
candidates.

outstanding class of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote for

the existing management of the corporation, shall be made in writing and shall

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS


         1.      GENERAL POWERS.     The management of all the affairs,  of the
corporation shall be vested in the Board of Directors.

         2.      NUMBER, TENURE AND QUALIFICATIONS.     The number of directors
of the corporation shall be not less than five (5) nor more than twenty-five
(25) members,   the exact number within such minimum and maximum limits to be
fixed and determined from time to time by resolution of a majority of the full
Board of Directors or by resolution of the stockholders at any meeting thereof.
Each director shall hold office  for one (1) year and until his successor shall
have been elected and qualified.  Each director shall own in his own right
common or preferred shares of Trustmark National Bank or the corporation, with
an aggregate par, fair market or equity value of not less than $1,000 as of
either (i) the date of purchase, (ii) the date the person became a director, or
(iii) the date of that person's most recent election to the board of directors
whichever is more recent.  Any combination of common or preferred stock of
Trustmark National Bank or the corporation may be used.

         3.      VACANCIES.     All vacancies in the Board of Directors,

otherwise, shall be filled   through appointment by a majority of the remaining
Directors then in office at an annual or special meeting called for that
purpose.  A director thus elected to fill any vacancy shall hold office until
the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is elected and
qualifies.

         4.      REGULAR MEETINGS.     Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors, when required, shall be held on the second Tuesday of each month.

         6.      QUORUM.     A majority of the entire board of directors then
in office shall constitute a quorum, and the affirmative vote of a majority of
those present and voting shall be the action of the Board.  Less than a quorum
may adjourn any meeting to a subsequent day without further notice until a
quorum can be had.  If the number of directors is reduced below the number that
would constitute a quorum based upon the total number of required director
positions, then no business may be transacted, except selecting directors to
fill vacancies in conformance with Article III, Section 3.  If a quorum is
present, the Board of Directors may take action through the vote of a majority
of the directors in attendance.

         7.      ORGANIZATION.     The Chairman, upon receiving the certificate
of the judges of the result of any election, shall notify the directors - elect
of their election and of the time at which they are required to meet at the
principal office of the corporation for the purpose of organizing the new

among its members an Executive Committee or other committees, each of which
shall have all the authority of the Board of Directors except as limited in
such resolution or bylaw, appoint officers, fix salaries for the ensuing year,
and transact such other business as may properly come before the organizational
meeting.  The organization meeting shall be appointed to be held on

event, within thirty (30) days thereof.  If, at the time fixed for such
meeting, there shall be no quorum present, the directors present may adjourn
the meeting, from time to time, until a quorum is obtained.  All  committees of
the Board shall keep regular minutes of their meetings and shall report their
actions to the Board of Directors at its next meeting.

         8.      COMPENSATION.     Directors may be compensated for their
services on the Board at such times, in such amounts and in accordance with
such compensation plans as the Board of Directors, by proper action, shall
determine.  Provided, however, that any member of the Board who is also an
officer of the corporation or of Trustmark National Bank shall not be
compensated for service on the Board of Directors.  All directors may be
reimbursed for actual expenses incurred in connection with service on the Board
as the Board of Directors, by proper action, shall determine.

         9.      INFORMAL ACTION.     Any action of the corporation required to
be taken, or which may be taken, at a meeting of the directors, may be taken
without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by all the directors entitled to vote thereon.  Such consent

meeting thereafter.  The Board may elect, in lieu of such periodic audits, to
adopt an adequate continuous audit system.  If requested by the Board, the

condition, whether adequate internal controls and procedures are being
maintained, and shall recommend to the Board such changes in the manner of
conducting the affairs of the corporation as shall be deemed advisable.  The
Audit Committee shall keep minutes of its meetings, and such minutes shall be
available for inspection by the Board, the regulatory authorities, or such
others as may lawfully be authorized.

                   CERTIFICATES FOR SHARES AND THEIR TRANSFER


         1.      FORM OF CERTIFICATE.     Certificates representing shares of
the corporation shall be in such form as may be determined by the Board of
Directors.  Such certificates shall be signed by the President and by the
Secretary or by such other officers authorized by the Board of Directors, with
the seal of the corporation affixed thereto.  Signatures and the corporate seal
may be facsimiles, but a facsimile signature may be used only if the
certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent, or registered by a registrar,
other than the corporation itself or an employee of the corporation.  The Board
of Directors may adopt or use procedures for replacing lost, stolen or
destroyed stock certificates as permitted by law.

         2.      REGISTRATION.     Registered stockholders only shall be
entitled to be treated by the corporation as the holders in fact of the stock
standing in their respective names, and the corporation shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in the share on the part
of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice
thereof, except as expressly provided by the laws of Mississippi.

         3.      CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS.     For the purpose of determining
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or
any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in
order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose, the
Board of Directors may provide that the stock transfer books shall be closed
for a stated period, but not to exceed fifty (50) days.  If the stock transfer
books shall be closed for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a





                                       15
<PAGE>   17
meeting of stockholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten (10) days
immediately preceding such meeting.

         4.      FIXING RECORD DATE.  In lieu of closing the stock transfer
books as described in Paragraph 3 herein, the Board of Directors may fix in
advance a date as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to
notice of a shareholder meeting, to demand a special meeting, to vote or take
any other action; provided, however, that in no event shall the record date
fixed by the Board of Directors be more than fifty (50) days or less than ten
(10) days before the meeting or action requiring a determination of
shareholders, or a date preceding the date upon which the resolution fixing the
record date is adopted.

         5.      TRANSFERS OF STOCK.     All transfers of stock of the
corporation shall be made upon the books of the corporation by the holder of
such shares in person, or by his legal representative, executor or
administrator, only upon surrender of the certificate or certificates of stock
for cancellation, properly endorsed.

                                   ARTICLE VI


                                    FINANCE


         1.      FISCAL YEAR.     The fiscal year of the corporation shall
begin on the 1st day of January and end on the 31st day of December of each
year, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors.

         2.      INDEMNITY.    Any person, his heirs, executors, or
administrators, may be indemnified or reimbursed by the corporation for
reasonable expenses actually incurred in





                                       16
<PAGE>   18
connection with any action, suit, or proceeding, civil or criminal, to which he
or they shall be made a party or potential party by reason of his being or
having been a director, an honorary or advisory director, officer, or employee
of the corporation or of any firm, corporation or organization which he served
in any such capacity at the request of the corporation; provided, however, that
no person shall be so indemnified or reimbursed in relation to any matter in
such action, suit, or proceeding as to which he shall finally be adjudged to
have been guilty of or liable for negligence or willful misconduct in the
performance of his duties to the corporation; and provided further, that no
person shall be so indemnified or reimbursed in relation to any administrative
proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate bank regulatory agency which
proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil money penalties
or requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals in the form of
payments to the corporation.  The foregoing right of indemnification or
reimbursement shall not be exclusive of other rights to which such person, his
heirs, executors, or administrators, may be entitled as a matter of law.  The
corporation may, upon affirmative vote of a majority of its board of directors,
purchase insurance to indemnify its directors, honorary or advisory directors,
officers and employees.  Such insurance may, but need not, be for the benefit
of all directors, honorary or advisory directors, officers or employees.

         3.      DIVIDENDS.     The Board of Directors may from time to time
declare and the corporation may pay dividends on its outstanding shares in the
manner and upon the terms and conditions as provided by law.

         4.      AFFILIATED CORPORATIONS.     If the corporation should become
affiliated with any bank or other business regulated by special provisions of
law, the directors and officers shall,





                                       17
<PAGE>   19
to the extent required by law, permit the examination of the corporation's
records, disclose fully the relations between the corporation and such bank or
other business and furnish reports and information.

                                  ARTICLE VII


                                     WAIVER


         Unless otherwise provided by law, whenever any notice is required to
be given to any stockholder or director of the corporation, a waiver thereof in
writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before
or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of
such notice.

                                  ARTICLE VIII


                                   AMENDMENTS


         These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed or new Bylaws adopted
by the Board of Directors.

Board of Directors and Shareholders
First National Financial Corporation
1301 Washington Street
Vicksburg, Mississippi 39180

      We have acted as counsel to Trustmark Corporation, a Mississippi 
corporation ("Trustmark") and Trustmark National Bank, a national banking
association ("Trustmark Bank") in connection with a Merger Agreement dated as
of May 4, 1994, (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Trustmark, Trustmark
Bank, First National Financial Corporation, a Mississippi corporation ("FNFC")
and First National Bank of Vicksburg, a national banking association ("FNBV").
In connection with this representation, we have examined the charter and bylaws
of Trustmark Bank, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of Trustmark, the
corporate proceedings of Trustmark and Trustmark Bank in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and such other documents and
instruments as we deemed necessary to render the following opinions.

      Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

      1.    Trustmark Bank is duly organized, validly existing and in good
            standing as a national banking association.

      2.    Trustmark is a duly organized, validly existing corporation in good 
            standing under the laws of the State of Mississippi.  The shares of 
            Trustmark's common stock to be issued as a result of the Mergers 
            (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be, upon execution and 
            delivery, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and 
            nonassessable shares of the common stock of Trustmark and are 
            registered on Form S-4 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.

         3.      The Merger Agreement is valid, binding and enforceable against
                 Trustmark and Trustmark Bank in accordance with its terms,
                 subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium,
                 reorganization and  other laws of general application relating
                 to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
                 generally.

         4.      The Mergers have been duly authorized by all requisite
                 corporate and shareholder action of Trustmark and Trustmark
                 Bank.

         5.      To the best of our knowledge, following diligent inquiry, but
                 without independent verification of facts certified by
                 appropriate officials of Trustmark and/or Trustmark Bank and
                 relied upon by us, neither Trustmark nor Trustmark Bank has
                 made any material misrepresentation, materially breached any
                 warranty or materially breached any covenant or condition in
                 the Merger Agreement or in any document, statement, list or
                 schedule referred to therein.

                                               Very truly yours,

      Re:    Merger Agreement by and among Trustmark Corporation, Trustmark
             National Bank, First National Financial Corporation and First
             National Bank of Vicksburg

Gentlemen:

      We have acted as counsel to Trustmark Corporation, a Mississippi
corporation and registered bank holding company ("Trustmark") and its 
subsidiary, Trustmark National Bank, a national banking association ("Trustmark
Bank"), in connection with the proposed merger (the "Merger") of First National
Financial Corporation, a Mississippi corporation and registered bank holding
company ("First National") with and into Trustmark and the proposed 
consolidation (the "Consolidation") of First National Bank of Vicksburg, a
national banking association ("FNB"), with Trustmark Bank under the existing
charter of Trustmark Bank pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement dated
as of May 4, 1994 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Trustmark, First
National, Trustmark Bank and FNB, each as described in the Registration
Statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Trustmark with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Registration Statement").  As a part of the Consolidation, the
shareholders of Trustmark Bank other than Trustmark ("Trustmark Bank Minority
Shareholders") will receive Trustmark common stock in exchange (the "Exchange")
for their $5.00 par value common stock of Trustmark Bank ("Trustmark Bank
Common Stock").  All capitalized terms, unless otherwise specified, have the
meaning assigned to them in the Registration Statement.

         In connection with this opinion, we have examined and are familiar
with originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our
satisfaction, of (i) the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Registration Statement and
(iii) such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate in order
to enable us to render the opinions below.  In our examination, we have assumed
the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons,
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed
or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.  In
rendering the opinions set forth below, we have relied upon certain written
representations and covenants of Trustmark, Trustmark Bank, First National and
FNB, which are annexed hereto.

         In rendering our opinion, we have considered the applicable provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing and
proposed Treasury Regulations, pertinent judicial authorities, interpretive
rulings of the Internal Revenue Service and such other authorities as we have
considered relevant.  The following opinion is based upon the foregoing
authorities as existing on the date of this opinion, any of which could be
changed at any time.  Any such changes may be retroactive and could
significantly modify the statements and opinions expressed herein.  Similarly,
any change in the facts and assumptions upon which this opinion is based could
modify the conclusions reached herein.  In rendering this opinion we assume no
obligation to advise you of any such changes or to update this opinion as a
result of any such changes.

         Our opinion covers only the matters expressly set forth herein, and no
opinions should be inferred as to any other matters or as to any other tax
aspects of the above-described transactions that are not specifically
addressed.

         This opinion represents our best judgment as to the probable outcome
of the tax issues discussed and is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service.
We can give no assurance that the Service will not challenge our conclusions
and prevail in the courts in such a manner as to cause adverse tax consequences
to Trustmark, Trustmark Bank, First National, FNB or their respective
shareholders.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that
the Merger, the Consolidation and the Exchange will, under current law,
constitute tax-free reorganizations under Section 368(a) of the Code.  It is
further our opinion that Trustmark and First National will each be a party to
the Merger, that Trustmark Bank and FNB will each be a party to the
Consolidation, and that Trustmark and Trustmark Bank will each be a party to
the Exchange within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.

         As a tax-free reorganization, the Merger will have the following
Federal income tax consequences for First National shareholders, First National
and Trustmark:

         1.      No gain or loss will be recognized by the holders of the
common stock of First National ("First National Common Stock") as a result of
the exchange of such shares for shares of Trustmark common stock ("Trustmark
Common Stock") pursuant to the Merger.  The cash portion of the Merger
consideration, including cash received by any First National shareholders who
perfect dissenters' rights of appraisal with respect to their First National
Common Stock will be treated as having been received by such shareholders as a
distribution in redemption of his or her First National stock, subject to the
provisions and limitations of Code Section 302.  The payment of cash in lieu of
fractional share interests will be treated as if the shares were distributed as
part of the exchange and then were redeemed by Trustmark.  These cash payments
will be treated as distributions in full payment in exchange for the stock
redeemed, subject to the provisions and limitations of Code Section 302.

         2.      The tax basis of the shares of Trustmark Common Stock received
by each shareholder of First National will equal the tax basis of such
shareholder's shares of First National Common Stock (reduced by any amount
allocable to fractional share interests for which cash is received) exchanged
in the Merger decreased by the amount of cash received by the shareholder and
increased by the amount which was treated as a dividend and the amount of any
gain recognized on the exchange and not treated as a dividend.

         3.      The holding period for the shares of Trustmark Common Stock
received by each shareholder of First National will include the holding period
for the shares of First National Common Stock of such shareholder exchanged in
the Merger.

         4.      Trustmark and Trustmark Bank will not recognize gain or loss
as a result of the Merger, the Consolidation and the Exchange.

         5.      First National and FNB will not recognize gain or loss as a
result of the Merger and the Consolidation.

         6.      No gain or loss will be recognized by the Trustmark Bank
Minority Shareholders on the exchange of their Trustmark Bank Stock solely for
Trustmark Common Stock.

         7.      The basis of the Trustmark Common Stock received by the
Minority Trustmark Bank Shareholders will be the same as the basis of the
Trustmark Bank Common Stock given in exchange therefor.

         8.      The holding period of the Trustmark Common Stock to be
received by the Trustmark Bank Minority Shareholders will include the holding
period of the Trustmark Bank Common Stock surrendered in the Exchange.

consequences to any party, whether Federal, state, local or foreign, of the

Agreement.  This opinion is being furnished only to you in connection with the

                           AND INFORMATION STATEMENT

                            Trustmark National Bank
                        Special Meeting of Shareholders

                                __________, 1994

                         THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION OF
                        PROXIES FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING

Dear Shareholder:

         A special meeting of the shareholders of Trustmark National Bank
("Trustmark Bank") will be held in the Basement Floor Auditorium in the main
office of Trustmark Bank located at 248 East  Capitol Street, Jackson,
Mississippi 39201 on ____________, 1994, at _____ __.m. local time, for the
purpose of voting upon (i) the proposed consolidation of First National Bank of
Vicksburg, a national banking association ("FNBV") with and into Trustmark
Bank, under the charter of Trustmark Bank, and (ii) amending the Articles of
Association of Trustmark Bank to authorize the issuance of 194,359 additional
shares.  As part of the consolidation, each share of the common stock of
Trustmark Bank, other than shares held by Trustmark Corporation ("Trustmark"),
will be converted into 13 shares of the common stock of Trustmark.

         The close of business on _______________, 1994, has been established
as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and
to vote at the special meeting.

         Included with this notice is a Proxy Statement-Prospectus prepared
principally for use in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at
the special meeting of the shareholders of FNBV's parent, First National
Financial Corporation ("FNFC").  At the FNFC special meeting, FNFC's
shareholders will be asked to vote upon the proposed merger of FNFC with and
into Trustmark.  The Proxy Statement-Prospectus describes the proposed merger
of FNFC and Trustmark and the proposed consolidation of FNBV with Trustmark
Bank and gives relevant information about Trustmark, Trustmark Bank, FNFC and
FNBV.

         This notice and the enclosed Proxy Statement-Prospectus are for
information purposes only.  Trustmark Bank is not soliciting the proxies of its
shareholders in connection with the special meeting.

         Approval of the consolidation by Trustmark Bank requires the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Trustmark Bank.  On
the record date, there were 2,483,596 shares of
<PAGE>   2
Trustmark Bank common stock issued and outstanding.  Trustmark owns 2,473,018
(99.57%) of such shares.  An additional 1,415 shares are owned by Trustmark
Bank's  directors.   Trustmark and the directors of Trustmark Bank intend to
vote in favor of the proposed consolidation.  The balance of the outstanding
shares of Trustmark Bank (9,163 shares) are held by approximately 95
shareholders.

         Federal law provides dissenters' rights of appraisal to the
shareholders of Trustmark Bank voting against the proposed consolidation.   A
more detailed explanation of those  rights is included in the Proxy
Statement-Prospectus.

         Trustmark Bank believes that the consolidation with FNBV will be
beneficial to Trustmark Bank and the resulting bank.

         In connection with the merger of FNFC and Trustmark,  Trustmark Bank
will issue 194,359 shares of its common stock to Trustmark in consideration of
Trustmark's issuance of up to 3,600,000 of its shares and $1,100,000 in cash to
FNFC's shareholders.  The articles of association of Trustmark Bank will be
amended to authorize the issuance of these additional shares.



         By Order of the Board of Directors.



                                        Frank R. Day
                                        Chairman of the Board and Chief
                                        Executive Officer
