Item 5. Other Events.
Trustmark Corporation, parent company of Trustmark National Bank,
released a brief statement on April 19, 1996 on behalf of the Board of
Directors of the Corporation, regarding a recently diagnosed illness of Frank
R. Day, Chairman, CEO and President of Trustmark Corporation.
For well over a century, Trustmark National Bank has been a positive
force in Mississippi as a strong and respected financial institution, made
possible by the efforts of the bank's professional management team and
dedicated employees. Under the leadership of that same team, Trustmark
continues in its position of stability and steady growth.
Recently, the bank's Chairman and CEO, Frank R. Day, has been
diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Mr. Day is not experiencing any
difficulties and the illness is having no impact on the performance of his
duties. Plans are for Mr. Day to continue his service to Trustmark Corporation
and Trustmark National Bank in his present capacities.
While Mr. Day's illness is primarily a personal and private matter,
both Mr. Day and the Board of Directors know of the importance of informing
shareholders and customers at this time. As always, the focus of Trustmark now
and in the future will be on delivering quality banking services to its
customers.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
