Exhibit 99.1

Stress Test Confirms Capital Strength at First Horizon, First Tennessee

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The 2017 Dodd-Frank Act stress test shows First Horizon National Corp. (NYSE:FHN) and First Tennessee Bank, its regional banking subsidiary, would maintain capital well in excess of regulatory “adequate” levels under severely adverse economic and financial conditions. The annual stress tests, which are designed to ensure banks would have enough capital to operate in economically challenging times, are required of national banks and federal savings associations with assets of at least $10 billion.

A summary of the results is available in the investor relations news and events section of the company’s website at www.FirstHorizon.com.
