Hancock Holding Company to become Hancock Whitney Corporation
25 5월 2018 - 1:05AM
Today, Hancock Holding Company’s (Nasdaq:HBHC) shareholders
overwhelmingly approved the company’s proposal to change the name
of the organization from “Hancock Holding Company” to “Hancock
Whitney Corporation.” Related to the name change, the company will
also change its common stock ticker from “HBHC” to “HWC.” Both
changes will become effective May 25, 2018.
Hancock Whitney publicly debuted its new brand
earlier this month on its website, on new signs,
on the mobile app and online banking, and at special events
throughout the footprint. On May 25, as the company celebrates the
100th anniversary of the first transaction between Hancock and
Whitney, the name change of the organization’s legal entities
becomes official.
“Both Hancock and Whitney were founded in the 1800s
to help the Gulf South grow,” said Hancock Whitney President and
CEO John M. Hairston. “We shared several early leaders and
transacted the first business between the two banks on May 25,
1918, when Hancock sold the Bank of Orleans to Whitney. Now, 100
years to the day since that deal, we’ll celebrate our longstanding
legacy together with a brand that honors our history and looks
optimistically toward our future.”
Additional corporate changes effective May 25, 2018
are as follows:
- “Whitney Bank” will become “Hancock Whitney Bank.”
- “Hancock Investment Services, Inc.” will become “Hancock
Whitney Investment Services, Inc.”
- The company’s ticker for its exchange-traded debt (subordinated
notes) will change from “HBHCL” to “HWCPL.”
Executives from Hancock Whitney will highlight the
name and ticker change by participating in NASDAQ’s Opening Bell
Ceremony tomorrow morning (May 25) at 8:30 a.m. Central/9:30 a.m.
Eastern. Viewers can watch the opening ceremony on Facebook at

bell-ringing will be available on Hancock Whitney’s social media
channels.
Shareholders also approved proposals related to
directors, compensation, and auditors at today’s annual shareholder
meeting.
