Firm moves up from KBW Nasdaq Regional Bank Index

Pinnacle Financial Partners (NYSE:PNFP) will join the KBW Nasdaq Bank Index (Index Ticker: BKX, ETF Ticker: KBWB), reflecting the firm's continued growth and performance among leading financial institutions. The move up from the KBW Nasdaq Regional Banking Index (KRX) to the BKX places Pinnacle among a select group of publicly traded banks recognized globally for scale and strong returns.

KBW is a leading specialist investment bank to the financial services and fintech sectors. The BKX index and its companion ETF include many of the largest and most influential banking institutions in the country. They serve as widely followed benchmarks for investors seeking to track and gain exposure to top-tier banking franchises.

"Joining the BKX means a great deal to us, especially at this point in our journey," said Pinnacle Chief Financial Officer Jamie Gregory. "Together with Synovus, we're building a banking platform to continue Pinnacle's history of delivering strong growth and client loyalty. Being included in this index confirms what our clients and shareholders have known for years—Pinnacle's relationship-driven model delivers."
