Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. announced that Synovus Financial Corp. and Legacy Pinnacle (the prior Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc., Tennessee) completed their business combination on January 1, 2026. Both entities merged into Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (the surviving Georgia corporation, formerly Steel Newco Inc.), and the combined company filed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to update previously provided pro forma information.

Key Details

• Merger closing date: January 1, 2026; the surviving company is Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (a Georgia corporation, formerly Steel Newco Inc.).
• Pro forma filings: Exhibit 99.1 contains unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 (as if the Merger occurred on Jan 1, 2025) and an unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 (as if the Merger occurred on Dec 31, 2025).
• Filing date: Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 12, 2026 and signed by Allan E. Kamensky, EVP & Chief Legal Officer.
• The pro forma information is unaudited, based on assumptions and estimates, and does not update or change the audited financial statements in either company’s Form 10-Ks.

Why It Matters
The filing confirms the legal close of the merger between Synovus and Legacy Pinnacle, creating a combined bank holding company under the Pinnacle name. The unaudited pro forma financials give investors a standardized view of what combined 2025 results and balance sheet might look like for comparative analysis. However, investors should note these pro forma numbers are illustrative, unaudited, and built on assumptions—so they do not replace the audited financial statements or guarantee future operating results.
