On April 28, 2004, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of National Commerce Financial Corporation (the “Company”) approved amendments to the Company’s Code of Conduct for Officers and Associates (the “Code of Conduct”) and the Code of Conduct for Directors (the Director’s Code”) that are intended, among other things, to ensure that the Codes fully meets the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In addition to minor, non-substantive amendments, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee adopted the following amendments to the Code of Conduct: (1) an amendment that provides that any waivers of the Code of Conduct for any senior financial officer or executive officer of the Company may only be granted by a vote of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board, and provides for the public disclosure of the Code and any amendments or waivers to the Code of Conduct as required by applicable laws and listing standards and (2) an amendment that provides that the Company maintains a system of internal controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and properly recorded and that financial records and reports are accurate and reliable.

None of the foregoing amendments to the Code of Conduct constituted or effected a waiver of application of any provision of the Code of Conduct to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

The Code of Conduct, as amended, and the Director’s Code are posted on the Company’s website at http://www.ncfcorp.com.
