Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

Pinnacle Financial Partners amended the letter agreement with Chief Banking Officer Robert A. McCabe Jr., changing the form but not the $5,890,000 total of his compensation opportunity. The company also agreed to pay Harold R. Carpenter $2,000,000 in exchange for a non-compete and non-solicitation covenant running from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2027.

Key points

  • McCabe's total compensation opportunity stays at $5,890,000, with base salary set at $3,465,000 and target annual bonus at $2,426,000.
  • Carpenter's restrictive covenant payment is $2,000,000 less withholdings, paid in two equal installments.
  • The second Carpenter installment is due on or immediately after January 1, 2027; repayment or forfeiture applies if he breaches the non-compete.
  • Both agreements are dated January 14, 2026, and the filing was signed January 15, 2026.
