Acquisitions and Divestitures [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Divestitures	Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures On June 7, 2013, First Tennessee Bank National Association ("FTBNA") acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Mountain National Bank ("MNB") a community bank headquartered in Sevierville, Tennessee from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), as receiver, pursuant to a purchase and assumption agreement. Prior to the acquisition, MNB operated 12 branches in Sevier and Blount counties in eastern Tennessee. Excluding purchase accounting adjustments, FHN acquired approximately $452 million in assets, including approximately $249 million in loans, and assumed approximately $362 million of MNB deposits. There was no premium associated with the acquired deposits and assets were acquired at a discount of $33 million from book value. FHN did not enter into a loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC associated with the MNB purchase. In relation to the acquisition FHN recorded $7.7 million in goodwill, representing the excess of the estimated fair value of liabilities assumed over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired. See Note 2 - Acquisitions and Divestitures in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, for additional information about the MNB acquisition. On May 27, 2014, FTBNA entered into an agreement to purchase thirteen bank branches. The purchase of the branches closed on October 17, 2014. The branches are in communities in Middle and East Tennessee including Waverly, Columbia, Lawrenceburg, Lewisburg, Sparta, Rockwood, Greeneville, Kingston, Bristol, Johnson City, and Kingsport. FTBNA paid a deposit premium of 3.32 percent based on deposit balances near the time the transaction closed; those balances approximated $440 million. FTBNA acquired an immaterial amount of loans as part of the transaction. On October 21, 2014, FHN entered into an agreement with TrustAtlantic Financial Corporation (“TrustAtlantic Financial”) by which TrustAtlantic Financial will merge into a subsidiary of FHN. TrustAtlantic Financial owns all the capital stock of TrustAtlantic Bank. Trust Atlantic Financial and TrustAtlantic Bank are headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina. TrustAtlantic Bank has five branches located in North Carolina in the communities of Raleigh, Cary and Greenville. At September 30, 2014, TrustAtlantic Financial reported on a consolidated basis approximately $453 million of total assets and approximately $395 million of total deposits. The aggregate transaction value is estimated to be approximately $80 million, based on FHN’s common stock value at the time the agreement was signed. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2015, subject to the approval of the shareholders of TrustAtlantic Financial as well as regulatory approvals and other customary conditions to closing. FHN acquires or divests assets from time to time in transactions that are considered business combinations or divestitures but are not material to FHN individually or in the aggregate.
