Election of New Director
On October 27, 2025, the Boards of Directors (singly or collectively, the “Board”) of First Horizon Corporation (“FHN”) and of FHN's subsidiary First Horizon Bank (the “Bank”) elected Sital K. Mody to the Board, effective immediately.
Mr. Mody, age 54, is the President of the Natural Gas Pipelines Group and a Vice President of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (“KMI”), a publicly traded energy infrastructure company headquartered in Houston, Texas. Since 2023, he has been responsible for all commercial and operational activities of KMI’s Natural Gas Pipelines Group. Prior to assuming his current role, Mr. Mody served in a variety of leadership positions at KMI, including as President of the Midstream Group from 2018 to 2023, where he oversaw key strategic and operational initiatives. Mody joined El Paso Corporation in 2001, where he worked in various roles of increasing responsibility; El Paso ultimately was acquired by KMI in 2012. Earlier in his career, he held positions at Deloitte, Tenneco Inc. and The Coca Cola Company from 1992 to 2001.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Mody and any other person concerning his selection to be elected to the Board.
Mr. Mody has been appointed to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board.
FHN, the Bank and the subsidiaries of each, as applicable, have entered into lending transactions and/or other banking or financial services transactions in the ordinary course of business with FHN’s executive officers, directors, nominees, their immediate family members and affiliated entities, and the persons of which FHN is aware that beneficially own more than five percent of FHN's common stock, and FHN expects to have such transactions in the future. Such transactions were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to FHN, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
Mr. Mody will be eligible to participate in FHN’s active compensation plans and programs for non-employee directors. Additional information concerning FHN’s plans and programs for non-employee directors is provided in the following previously-filed material, all of which is incorporated into this item by reference: the Director Compensation section of FHN’s proxy statement for the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders appearing on pages 28-31; FHN’s Director Compensation Policy, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to FHN’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024; and a description of other compensation and benefit arrangements for non-employee directors, filed as Exhibit 10.8(b) to FHN’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 2020.
ITEM 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
Amendment of Bylaws
On October 27, 2025, the Board of Directors unanimously approved an amendment to Section 3.2 of the Bylaws of First Horizon Corporation, effective immediately. As amended, that Section provides that the Board of Directors consists of fourteen members (increased from thirteen).
