These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above. Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of investments and reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. /S/PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP June 7, 2000 6 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN STATEMENTS OF NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS DECEMBER 31, 1999 1998 ------------ ------------ ASSETS Investments, at fair value Short-term investments $ 28,051,044 $ 6,328,152 Common stock 88,793,890 62,820,549 Equity common trust funds 100,372,228 48,332,558 Fixed income common trust funds 27,538,229 26,058,669 Notes receivable from participants 1,166,001 648,637 ------------ ------------ Total investments (cost $157,939,460 and $91,441,580 at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively) 245,921,392 144,188,565 Cash -- 1,610,042 Accrued interest and dividends receivable 108,410 -- ------------ ------------ Total assets 246,029,802 145,798,607 ------------ ------------ LIABILITIES Due to brokers 10,500 2,072,347 ------------ ------------ NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS $246,019,302 $143,726,260 ------------ ------------ The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 2 7 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 1998 ------------- ------------- INVESTMENT INCOME Interest and dividends $ 4,730,106 $ 3,103,293 Net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of investments 16,966,121 (23,314,891) ------------- ------------- Net investment income (loss) 21,696,227 (20,211,598) ------------- ------------- CONTRIBUTIONS AND ROLLOVERS Employee contributions 16,998,512 11,206,548 Employer contributions 8,140,922 5,163,038 Rollovers of assets (Note 5) Cash 6,333,252 1,129,254 Common stock of Union Planters Corporation 528,580 527,888 ------------- ------------- Total contributions and rollovers 32,001,266 18,026,728 ------------- ------------- OTHER RECEIPTS 574,881 7,255 ------------- ------------- Total additions (deductions) 54,272,374 (2,177,615) ------------- ------------- DISBURSEMENTS Payments to participants (31,151,296) (18,856,099) Other -- (3,250) ------------- ------------- Total disbursements (31,151,296) (18,859,349) ------------- ------------- NET ASSETS AVAILABLE FOR BENEFITS Net increase (decrease) 23,121,078 (21,036,964) Mergers of other plans (Note 1) 79,171,964 5,771,877 At beginning of year 143,726,260 158,991,347 ------------- ------------- At end of year $ 246,019,302 $ 143,726,260 ============= ============= The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. 3 8 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions.

The fair value shown for investments in common trust funds represents the estimated fair value as determined in good faith by the trustees of the funds. Many factors are considered in arriving at fair value; however, the realization value is the primary factor. The Plan recognizes realized gains and losses using the revalued cost method whereby realized gains and losses are calculated on sales proceeds less current value at the beginning of the year or acquisition cost if acquired during the year. Unrealized gains and losses are calculated as the current value of the investment held at the end of the year less the current value at the beginning of the year or acquisition cost if acquired during the year. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. 4 9 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1.

PLAN DESCRIPTION The following description of the Union Planters Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. GENERAL The Union Planters Corporation Thrift and Savings Plan and the Union Planters Corporation Thrift and Savings Trust were adopted effective January 1, 1982 and restated effective January 1, 1986 to maintain compliance with certain legislative requirements which had been revised. Effective January 1, 1989, the Union Planters Corporation Thrift and Savings Plan was converted into the Union Planters Corporation 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. In July 1994, the Plan was amended to permit each participant in the Plan to elect among five investment fund options, including shares of Union Planters Corporation Common Stock having a par value of $5.00 per share, commencing December 1, 1994. Before this amendment, the participants were permitted no such investment choices under the Plan. Accordingly, on December 1, 1994, certain investments held by the Plan were transferred at fair value to certain common trust funds managed by Union Planters Bank, National Association, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, in exchange for equivalent value interests in the common trust funds. In January 1999, the Administrative Committee of the Plan (the "Committee") elected to introduce two discretionary proprietary funds as investment options available to participants. These additional investment options were the Magna Growth and 5 10 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED) Income Fund and the Magna Intermediate Government Bond Fund. Both funds were established in 1994 and are administered by the Trust Division of Union Planters Bank, National Association. The Plan retained the original five investment options for a total of seven investment options until further resolution by the Committee. The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The Plan is administered by the Committee composed of certain Corporation affiliated members appointed by the Corporation's Board of Directors (the "Board"). In 1986, the Board appointed Union Planters Bank, National Association, as Trustee of the Plan. The Trustee receives all contributions and pays benefits in accordance with instructions given by the Committee. The Plan sponsor is the Corporation. The Plan is available to all employees of the Corporation and its participating subsidiaries who complete one year of service and work 1,000 or more hours per year. Participation may be elected by the employee the first day of any month following the satisfaction of the eligibility requirements. CONTRIBUTIONS In order to participate, the employee must elect a Member Basic Contribution, which may be 1% to 16% of the employee's gross salary up to $160,000 or Base Pay if Base Pay is greater than $160,000. The maximum contribution allowable by law was $10,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998. The amount is typically increased each year based on the cost of living index. This contribution is made through pretax payroll deductions and is matched by the Corporation up to 6% of compensation based on a percentage determined by the employee's length of service as follows: 50% for employees with up to 10 years of participating service, 75% for employees with 10 to 25 years of participating service and 100% for employees with 25 or more years of participating service. The matching percentage for employees who have participated in the Plan since its inception is determined based on their years of total service rather than their participating service. The employee may also elect a rollover contribution which is not matched by the Corporation. An employee receiving a lump sum distribution from a qualified retirement plan may choose to invest all or part of that distribution in the Plan. Participation in the Member Basic Contribution in prior periods is not required to make a rollover contribution. In addition to the normal matching of Member Basic Contributions, the Corporation may elect to contribute an additional discretionary amount to the Plan. No such additional contributions were made during the years ended December 31, 1999 or 1998. VESTING Plan participants are 100% vested in their contributions, including earnings through the most recent Plan year-end. Earnings become vested interests in the Plan quarterly. Any non-vested earnings accruing during the year in which an employee terminates are forfeited by the employee. Additionally, vesting in Corporation contributions and related earnings commences after five years of participating service with 100% vesting. Total vesting also occurs upon total disability, death, retirement or other events as defined by the Plan. 6 11 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED) As of each Plan year-end, any amounts which have been forfeited during the Plan year are first made available to reinstate previously forfeited balances of former participants. Remaining forfeitures, if any, are allocated at the sole discretion of the Corporation. Upon retirement, total disability or death, participants or their beneficiaries become eligible for distribution within 60 days following the Plan year-end. Upon termination, participants become eligible for distribution within 60 days following the end of the month of such termination. PARTICIPANT LOANS The Plan Administrator may make loans to Plan participants only for purposes of purchasing a primary residence or for post-secondary education of an immediate family member. In no case may a loan exceed 50% of the vested account balance, nor may any loan exceed $50,000. All loans will bear interest at the Union Planters Bank, National Association consumer prime rate (floating) and must generally be repaid within five years. Repayments are normally made by regular payroll deduction. PLAN TERMINATION Although it has expressed no intent to do so, the Corporation has the right under the terms of the Plan to discontinue its contributions and terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In such event, Plan participants would become 100% vested in all contributions and earnings. OTHER All necessary expenses of the Plan may be paid by the Plan; however, the Corporation has customarily paid these expenses and presently intends to continue this practice. INVESTMENT OPTIONS Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in any of the following seven investment options: Money Market Option - Participant directed funds are invested in money market funds which invest only in U.S. Government securities. Typically, these investments are U.S. Treasury Bills and short-term U.S. Treasury notes maturing in six months or less. Fixed Income Option - Participant directed funds are primarily invested in the Employee Benefit Trust's Fixed Income Fund of Union Planters Bank, National Association and the Trust Advisor's Stable Value Plus Fund. These funds invest in a wide range of high-quality, intermediate-term bonds and investment contracts. Issuers include the U.S. Government, U.S. Government agencies and well-known corporations, banks and insurance companies. Balanced Option - Participant directed funds are primarily invested in the Employee Benefit Trust's Equity Fund of Union Planters Bank, National Association and the Employee Benefit Trust's Fixed Income Fund of Union Planters Bank, National Association which provide a balanced portfolio of bonds and stocks. This option has a long-term goal of investing 60% in fixed income securities and 40% in equity securities. 7 12 UNION PLANTERS CORPORATION 401(K) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. PLAN DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED) Equity Option - Participant directed funds are invested in the Employee Benefit Trust's Equity Fund of Union Planters Bank, National Association which invests in a broad mix of growth and income-oriented stocks and mutual funds, including securities from international and global markets. Common Stock Option - Participant directed funds are invested solely in Union Planters Corporation common stock. Growth and Income Option - Participant directed funds are invested in the Magna Growth and Income Fund. The fund's portfolio consists of common stocks, diversified across many different industries. The fund invests in high quality common stocks and securities convertible into common stock across various industries and economic sectors, and seeks to control market risk while providing the opportunity for long-term growth. Intermediate Bond Option - Participant directed funds are invested in the Magna Intermediate Bond Fund primarily consisting of U.S. Government securities, including U.S. Government agencies. The balance of this fund is invested in very high-quality corporate bonds. If a participant does not make a timely investment election with respect to their entire account balance, their account balance (or undirected portion thereof) will automatically be invested in the Balanced Option. 3.

Union Planters Bank, National Association, is the Trustee as defined by the Plan; therefore, these transactions are considered party-in-interest transactions.
