WILSON BANK HOLDING COMPANY

LEBANON, TENNESSEE

PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company (the “Company”) of proxies for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Monday, April 13, 2015, at the Company’s main office, 623 West Main Street, Lebanon, Tennessee 37087, at 7:00 p.m. (CDT). This proxy material was first mailed to shareholders on or about March 13, 2015.

All valid proxies which are received will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors unless otherwise specified thereon and will be voted “For” election of the director nominees set out below and “For” the ratification of Maggart & Associates, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. A proxy may be revoked by a shareholder at any time prior to its use by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock, par value $2.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the close of business on February 4, 2015 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had 7,609,185 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, the holders of which are entitled to one vote for each share held on each of the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. The representation in person or by proxy of at least a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote is necessary to provide a quorum at the meeting. The directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election by the holders of Common Stock represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The approval of the ratification of Maggart & Associates, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, and any other matters submitted to the shareholders but not proposed in this Proxy Statement will be approved if the number of shares of Common Stock voted in favor of the proposal exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock voted against it. The Board of Directors of the Company does not know of any other matters which will be presented for action at the Annual Meeting other than those proposed in this Proxy Statement, but the persons named in the proxy (who are directors of the Company) intend to vote or act with respect to any other proposal which may be presented for action according to their best judgment. Abstentions and “non-votes” are accounted as “present” in determining whether a quorum is present. A “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on another proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Pursuant to the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), if your broker does not receive instructions from you, your broker will not be able to vote your shares in the election of directors, resulting in a broker non-vote. So long as a quorum is present, a “non-vote” or abstention will have no effect on the approval of the nominees to the Company’s board of directors, the approval of the ratification of Maggart & Associates, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, or on approval of any other proposal that properly comes before the Annual Meeting.

The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company, including expenses in connection with preparing, assembling, and mailing this Proxy Statement. Such solicitation will be made by mail, and may also be made by the Company’s directors, officers or employees personally or by telephone or other form of electronic communication. The Company may reimburse brokers, custodians and nominees for their expenses in sending proxies and proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Wilson Bank and Trust (the “Bank”) is located in Lebanon, Tennessee and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Bank is the only subsidiary of the Company.

STOCK OWNERSHIP

There are no persons who are the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock, its only class of voting securities.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table below has sole voting and investment power, or shares voting and investment power with his or her spouse, with respect to all shares of stock listed as owned by that person. The number of shares shown does not include the interest of certain persons in shares held by family members in their own right. Shares issuable upon exercise of options that are exercisable within sixty days of February 4, 2015 are considered outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held by the individual, but not for the purpose of calculating the percentage of outstanding shares held by any other individual.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors of the Company currently consists of eleven (11) members. The Company’s bylaws provide for a minimum of five and maximum of fifteen directors, the exact number to be set by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s charter provides that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, each class to be as nearly equal in number as possible. On September 19, 2014, the Board of Directors increased the size of the Board and appointed William P. Jordan as a Class I director. As a result of this appointment to the Board of Directors, the shareholders are required to vote at the Annual Meeting on Mr. Jordan’s nomination as Class I director. The terms of four (4) Class II directors expire at the Annual Meeting. These directors are Jack W. Bell, Mackey Bentley, Harold R. Patton, and H. Elmer Richerson. The nomination of each of Jack W.

Unless contrary instructions are received, the enclosed proxy will be voted in favor of the election as directors of the nominees listed below. Each nominee has consented to be a candidate and to serve, if elected. All the nominees currently are serving as directors of the Company. While the Company’s Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to accept nomination or election as a director, if such event should occur, proxies will be voted with discretionary authority for a substitute or substitutes who will be designated by the Company’s current Board of Directors.

Description of the Board and Committees of the Board

The Company does not have an executive compensation or nominating committee. The Board of Directors of the Company also serves as the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Board of Directors of the Company and the Board of Directors of the Bank, based upon recommendations by the Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank, establish general compensation policies and programs for the Company and the Bank and determine annually the compensation to be paid to Company and Bank employees, including their respective executive officers. The Board of Directors does not believe it is necessary to have a nominating committee because the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank work together to develop general criteria concerning the qualifications, recommendations and selection of directors and officers of the Company and the Bank, including considering recommendations made for such positions by shareholders of the Company. All of the Company’s directors participate in the consideration of director nominees.

5

Each potential director nominee is evaluated on the same basis regardless of whether he or she is recommended by management, a director or a shareholder. The Board of Directors has not adopted a policy with respect to minimum qualifications for directors, nor has the Board of Directors adopted a formal diversity policy for nominees. Rather, the Board of Directors annually reviews and determines the specific qualifications and skills that one or more directors must possess in the context of the then current needs of the Board of Directors with respect to experience, expertise and age. In making recommendations for nominees to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors seeks to include directors who, when taken together with the other nominees and continuing directors, will create a Board of Directors that offers a diversity of education, professional experience, background, age, perspective, viewpoints and skill. Each of the nominees for director to be elected at the Annual Meeting was nominated and recommended by the Board of Directors.

The Company has not received director nominee recommendations from any shareholders for the terms of any directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting commencing in 2015 and expiring in 2018. The Board of Directors will consider nominees recommended by shareholders, provided that such recommendations are submitted to the Board of Directors in writing, describe the reasons why the shareholder finds the recommended person to be a qualified candidate and comply with the requirements of the Company’s Bylaws.

On September 28, 2009, the Board of Directors adopted a retirement policy for board members which requires that a director that served on the Board of Directors as of the policy’s implementation must retire from the Board of Directors at the first annual meeting of shareholders following his or her 80th birthday. Directors elected to the Board of Directors for the first time after the policy’s implementation will be required to retire from the Board of Directors at the first annual meeting of shareholders following the director’s 70th birthday. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the mandatory retirement age policy will not prohibit any current director from serving out the remainder of his existing term or from being elected and serving for at least one full three year term to which the director may be elected following implementation of the policy.

The Board of Directors of the Company has no standing committees. The Board of Directors of the Bank has ten standing committees consisting of the Audit, Executive, Personnel, Finance, Marketing, Building, Investment, Long Range Planning, Data Processing and Board Relations Committee. The Chairman of the Company, Mr. John Freeman is a member of all committees. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank, Mr. Clemons, and Mr. Richerson are also members of all of the committees with the exception that Mr. Clemons and Mr. Richerson are not members of the Personnel Committee or the Audit Committee. The members of each committee are generally appointed in May of each year and serve until the following May. Therefore, the committee members identified below may not have been on each identified committee for the entire 2014 fiscal year. Unless otherwise provided below, the members identified below are the current members of the applicable committees.

Audit Committee. The Company does not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The Bank, however, does have a separately-designated standing audit committee, composed of Messrs. J.A. Patton, Comer and Franklin, with Mr. Franklin serving as the committee’s Chairman. The Audit Committee reviews annual and interim reports of the independent auditors and provides advice and assistance regarding the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company and the Bank. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to the terms of a charter which was adopted by the Board of Directors in December 2004 and amended in February 2009 (the “Audit Committee Charter”). A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is not available on the Company’s website, but is included as Appendix A to this proxy statement. All of the Audit Committee’s members are independent under the current listing standards of the NYSE. While the Board of Directors believes that certain of its audit committee members are financially literate and have a level of financial sophistication necessary to serve on the Audit Committee, it has determined that the Company does not have an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC’s rules and regulations serving on the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors further believes that the current members of the Company’s Board of Directors provide a breadth of experience and level of community relationships that are important to the Company and that the Company does not believe that it could attract an additional director that meets the requirements of an “audit committee financial expert” who also has those similar relationships. In making its determination, the Board of Directors particularly considered the size and nature of the Company’s business and the importance of the directors’ knowledge of the local communities served by the Bank. The Audit Committee held five meetings during 2014.

6

Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is composed of Messrs. C. Bell, Comer, J. Bell and H. Patton, with Mr. H. Patton serving as the committee’s Chairman. The Executive Committee reviews corporate activities of the Company and the Bank, makes recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank on their respective policy matters and makes executive decisions on matters that do not require a meeting of the full Board of Directors. The Executive Committee held twelve meetings during 2014.

Personnel Committee. The Personnel Committee, composed of Messrs. Comer, H. Patton, Bentley and J.A. Patton, with Mr. J.A. Patton serving as the committee’s Chairman, considers and recommends to the Board of Directors of the Bank the compensation of the Bank’s personnel, including the Named Executive Officers. This committee, all of the members of which are independent under the listing standards of the NYSE, held five meetings during 2014. This Committee does not have a written charter. Compensation decisions for the Company’s executive officers, including its Named Executive Officers, are made by the Board of Directors of the Company upon recommendation of the Personnel Committee.

The agenda for meetings of the Personnel Committee is determined by its Chairman with the assistance of the Bank’s HR Director and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Personnel Committee meetings are regularly attended by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Human Resources Officer. When considering the compensation of Mr. Clemons and Mr. Richerson, the Personnel Committee meets in executive session. The Personnel Committee’s Chairman reports the committee’s recommendations on executive compensation to the Board of Directors of the Bank and the Company. The Bank’s human resources and accounting departments support the Personnel Committee in its duties and may be delegated authority to fulfill certain administrative duties regarding the compensation programs.

Finance Committee. The Finance Committee functions as the credit review board of the Bank. This committee reviews loan applications meeting certain criteria and approves those found creditworthy. In addition, this committee reviews all loans that are funded. The committee is comprised of Messrs. C. Bell, J. Bell, Bentley, Franklin, H. Patton, Jordan, J.A. Patton, and Comer, with Mr. Comer serving as the committee’s Chairman. The Finance Committee held eleven meetings during 2014.

Marketing Committee. The Marketing Committee is composed of Messrs. C. Bell, Bentley, Franklin, H. Patton, and J. Bell, with Mr. J. Bell serving as the committee’s Chairman. The Marketing Committee recommends the direction of the marketing efforts of the Company and the Bank. This committee held four meetings during 2014.

Building Committee. The Building Committee is composed of Messrs. Comer, Franklin, Bentley and H. Patton, with Mr. H. Patton serving as the committee’s Chairman. This committee makes recommendations to the Company’s and the Bank’s Boards of Directors on the immediate and future building needs of the Company and the Bank. This committee held three meetings during 2014.

Investment Committee. The Investment Committee is composed of Messrs. Bentley, J.A. Patton and C. Bell, with Mr. C. Bell serving as the committee’s Chairman. The Investment Committee reviews and directs the investment portfolio of the Bank. This committee held four meetings during 2014.

Long Range Planning Committee. The Long Range Planning Committee is composed of Messrs. J. Bell, C. Bell, J.A. Patton and Bentley, with Mr. Bentley serving as the committee’s Chairman. This committee explores strategic opportunities available to the Bank and recommends the direction the Bank should take on these matters. This committee held two meetings in 2014.

Data Processing Committee. The Data Processing Committee is composed of Messrs. J. Bell, J.A. Patton, Comer and Franklin, with Mr. Franklin serving as the committee’s Chairman. The Data Processing Committee reviews the computer hardware and software needs of the Company and the Bank and makes recommendations regarding purchases thereof to the respective Boards of Directors. This committee held four meetings during 2014.

7

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company held thirteen meetings with the Board of Directors of the Bank also meeting fourteen times. Each director attended at least 99% of the aggregate number of meetings of both the Bank’s and the Company’s Boards of Directors and the committees on which such director served. The Company encourages each member of the Board of Directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and all of the Company’s directors attended the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Company’s Board of Directors has established procedures for the Company’s shareholders to communicate with members of the Board of Directors. Shareholders may communicate with any of the members of the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors, including the chairperson of any of the committees of the Board of Directors, by writing to a director c/o Wilson Bank Holding Company, 623 West Main Street, Lebanon, Tennessee 37087.

Board Leadership Structure. The Company separates the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board in recognition of the differences between the two roles. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for the Company and the day to day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Chief Executive Officer, sets the agenda for Board meetings and presides over meetings of the full Board.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight. While the Board of Directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, various committees of the Board of Directors assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. In particular, the Audit Committee focuses on financial and enterprise risk exposures, including internal controls, and discusses with management, the internal auditors and the independent registered public accountants the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including risks related to fraud, liquidity, cyber security, credit operations and regulatory compliance. The Audit Committee also assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its duties and oversight responsibilities relating to the Company’s or the Bank’s compliance and ethics programs, including compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by federal securities regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on the Company’s review of the copies of such forms and written representations from certain reporting persons furnished to the Company, the Company believes that its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners, if any, were in compliance with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements in the 2014 fiscal year, except for one late filing by Ms. Pominski.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL 3 — OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors is not aware of any other matters which may be brought before the Annual Meeting. However, if any matter other than the proposed matters properly comes before the meeting for action, proxies will be voted for such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons named as proxies.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT FOR 2014

The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles.

In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the audited financial statements. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 16, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1 AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. In addition, the Audit Committee has received from the independent registered public accounting firm the written disclosures and letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and discussed with it, the firm’s independence from the Company and its management. The Audit Committee has considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining the registered public accounting firm’s independence.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Company’s Board of Directors has approved, that the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, for filing with the SEC.

The foregoing report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference the Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies

The Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank has reviewed the Company’s and the Bank’s compensation policies as generally applicable to their employees and believes that their policies do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk taking, and that the level of risk that they do encourage is not reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company or the Bank.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Policy and Philosphy. Decisions with respect to compensation of the Company’s and the Bank’s executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and the other Named Executive Officers, as identified in the Summary Compensation Table, for fiscal year 2014 were made by the Board of Directors of the Bank based upon recommendations by the Personnel Committee. Decisions regarding the non-equity compensation of the Company’s and the Bank’s executive officers that are not Named Executive Officers are made by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with such officer’s supervisor. For these officers, the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for establishing the framework for how these individuals are compensated. The components of

10

compensation of executive officers consist of a base salary, an annual cash incentive, amounts contributed under the executive officer’s Executive Salary Continuation Agreement prior to the freezing of the accrual of benefits under these agreements effective October 1, 2012, and thereafter under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Agreements (the “SERP Agreements”) and matching and profit-sharing contributions under the Company’s 401(k) plan (as well as health and disability insurance and other non-cash benefits similar to those of all employees of the Bank or Company). At times, these executive officers have also been awarded equity based compensation in the form of time vested stock options; however, the Personnel Committee and the Chief Executive Officer have historically focused on cash-based compensation that is currently paid out, using stock options primarily in connection with promotions or changes in duties. The Company utilizes the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements and the SERP Agreements, each as described in more detail below, to provide for post-retirement payments to the Named Executive Officers. No member of the Personnel Committee served as an officer or employee of the Company or of any of its subsidiaries during 2014.

The overarching policy of the Personnel Committee and the Board of Directors in determining executive compensation, including the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer, is to attract and retain the highest quality talent to lead the Company and to reward key executives based upon their individual performance and the performance of the Bank and the Company. The Personnel Committee evaluates both performance and compensation to ensure that the Company and the Bank maintain their ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation packages provided to key employees remain competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of peer companies. The Personnel Committee believes that providing incentives to and rewarding the performance of the Company’s and the Bank’s executive officers enhances the profitability of the Company. To that end, the Personnel Committee believes that the compensation paid to the Company’s and the Bank’s executive officers should include base salary and a significant cash incentive opportunity designed to reward performance as measured against established goals. The Personnel Committee does not utilize equity-based compensation as a significant component of the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers. The intention of the Personnel Committee, however, is to continue to utilize future equity-based compensation primarily in connection with promotions or changes in duties.

Executive compensation programs impact all employees by setting general levels of compensation and helping to create an environment of goals, rewards and expectations. Because we believe the performance of every employee is important to our success, we are mindful of the effect of executive compensation and incentive programs on all of our employees.

Say on Pay Vote. At our 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, we held our triennial shareholder advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers and our shareholders overwhelmingly approved our fiscal year 2013 executive compensation program. Of the 3,983,914 votes cast, 3,926,953, or 98.6%, were in favor of approval. The Personnel Committee has considered the results of the vote on our 2013 executive compensation program and concluded that the shareholders support the Company’s compensation policies and procedures which the Personnel Committee believes provide a competitive pay-for-performance package that effectively incentivizes our Named Executive Officers and encourages long-term retention. The Company’s strong financial performance in fiscal year 2014 reinforces the Personnel Committee’s view that our executive compensation program is achieving its objectives, and the Board and the Personnel Committee made no significant changes to the program during the year. The Personnel Committee will continue to consider shareholder views about our core compensation principles and objectives when determining executive compensation.

Base Salary. Each year the Personnel Committee reviews and approves a base salary for Mr. Clemons taking into account several factors, including prior year base salary, responsibilities, tenure, performance, salaries paid to chief executive officers of other financial institutions of a similar size in similar markets, the Bank’s overall pay scale, including retirement benefits payable to Mr. Clemons, and the Bank’s recent performance. Taking these factors into consideration, the Personnel Committee approved an increase of 4% to the 2014 base salary of Mr. Clemons when compared to 2013. In setting the base salaries of the other Named Executive Officers, the Personnel Committee considers the recommendations of Mr. Clemons, who makes his recommendations regarding these salaries based on the same factors as are considered by the Personnel Committee in setting Mr. Clemon’s base salary. Based on those criteria, the Personnel Committee approved a 4% increase to the 2014 base salary of Mr. Richerson and a 3% increase to the 2014 base salary of Mr. Whitaker. Mr. McDearman and Ms. Pominski each received increases of approximately 8.45% and 15.45%, respectively, over their fiscal 2013 base salaries in a continuing effort to raise their compensation to levels that are competitive within the Company’s market areas.

11

Annual Cash Incentive. Messrs. Clemons, Richerson, Whitaker, and McDearman are eligible for an annual cash incentive, which we refer to as a bonus, pursuant to a percentage formula determined by the Board of Directors that is based upon the Company’s after tax earnings for the fiscal year. In 2014, Mr. Clemons was eligible for a cash incentive payment equal to 1.5% of the Company’s after tax earnings, while Mr. Richerson was eligible for a cash incentive payment equal to 1.15% of the Company’s after tax earnings. In total, Mr. Clemons and Mr. Richerson were paid cash incentive payouts totaling $306,304 and $234,833, respectively. In 2014, Mr. Whitaker and Mr. McDearman were eligible for a cash incentive payment equal to .57% of the Company’s after tax earnings. In total, Mr. Whitaker and Mr. McDearman were each paid cash incentive payments totaling $116,395. Because Mr. Clemons’s, Mr. Richerson’s, Mr. Whitaker’s, and Mr. McDearman’s cash incentive awards are a percentage of the Company’s after tax earnings, the Company’s performance directly impacts the size of these payments. As the Company’s performance improves, the cash payments similarly increase.

Ms. Pominski was eligible for, and received, a cash incentive payment determined by the return on assets (“ROA”) performance of the Bank, which payment was calculated on a basis consistent with the Bank’s other employees other than Messrs. Clemons, Richerson, Whitaker, and McDearman whose cash incentive payments were calculated as described above. ROA is the quotient of the Company’s 2014 net earnings divided by the Company’s average assets for 2014. For 2014, the ROA targets and related cash incentive payouts as a percentage of the base salary of Ms. Pominski was 10% at .90 ROA, 10.5% at 1.0 ROA, and 11.5% at 1.15 ROA. In 2014, the Bank’s ROA was 1.16%. The Personnel Committee and the Board of Directors approved the payout of a cash bonus totaling 11.5% of the base salary for Ms. Pominski, or $17,940.

Ms. Pominski was also eligible to receive monthly cash payments under the Company’s cash-based incentive plan upon the attainment of certain Company and individual performance goals. For Ms. Pominski, these goals included income and expense controls and new product effectiveness. Incentives paid to Ms. Pominski in 2014 related to these performance goals totaled $19,200, which was 75% of the maximum amount that Ms. Pominski was eligible to receive in monthly cash payments under the Company’s cash-based incentive plan.

401(k) Plan and Profit Sharing Contributions. All employees, including executive officers participating in the Bank’s 401(k) Plan receive a matching grant of $.35 from the Bank for each one dollar ($1) up to a maximum of 6% of the amount contributed each year by the employee to his or her 401(k) account. No employee was entitled to contribute more than $16,500 in 2014. The Bank historically has also contributed additional funds into each employee’s 401(k) account under a profit-sharing arrangement. During 2014, Messrs. Clemons, Richerson, Whitaker, McDearman and Ms. Pominski received contributions totaling $24,960, $24,960, $23,842, $23,842 and $18,280, respectively, as compared to $24,480, $24,480, $23,570, $23,519 and $14,907, respectively, in 2013.

Post-Termination Benefits. The Bank has entered into Executive Salary Continuation Agreements with certain of its senior executive officers, including Messrs. Clemons, Richerson, Whitaker and McDearman and Ms. Pominski, which agreements were amended on December 30, 2008 and on November 23, 2012. The Executive Salary Continuation Agreements were amended during 2008 to bring the agreements into compliance with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, along with simplifying the calculation of the benefits received at retirement. In November 2012, each of the Named Executives Officers and the Bank entered into (i) an amendment to the Named Executive Officers’ Executive Salary Continuation Agreements (the “Frozen Plans”) to freeze future benefit accruals thereunder as of October 1, 2012 and (ii) the SERP Agreements for the benefit of the Named Executives Officers effective as of October 1, 2012. The benefits from the Frozen Plans plus benefits from the SERP Agreements provide total benefits that are substantially equivalent with the original benefits of the Frozen Plans.

The Frozen Plans and the SERP Agreements are unfunded arrangements maintained primarily to provide supplemental retirement benefits. The primary impetus for freezing the existing plans and establishing new plans involves a net decrease in compensation expense for the Bank of approximately $1.9 million over the life of the Frozen Plans.

The Frozen Plans froze the accrual of benefits under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements so that no additional benefits (including disability and death benefits thereunder) could be accrued under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, on or after October 1, 2012, and clarified that the frozen disability benefit under each of the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, will be paid until the applicable Named Executive Officer’s normal retirement age at which time such benefit will be reduced to the normal retirement benefit provided for under the applicable Executive Salary Continuation Agreement, as amended, for the remaining benefit payment period.

12

The SERP Agreements were entered into to provide certain supplemental nonqualified pension benefits to the Named Executive Officers in coordination with the freezing of the benefits under the executive’s Executive Salary Continuation Agreement. The SERP Agreements when combined with the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, continue to provide the Named Executive Officers with the same benefits as provided under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements for the 180-month period provided for thereunder and then continue a portion of that benefit for the remainder of each of the executive’s lives. The Bank purchased Flexible Premium Indexed Deferred Annuity Contracts to fund the benefits under the SERP Agreements. The Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, and the SERP Agreements together provide for the payment of an annual cash benefit to each of the Named Executive Officers (or their beneficiaries) following the executive’s separation from service from the Bank under a variety of circumstances including both the executive’s voluntary termination of the executive’s employment with the Bank and the involuntary termination of the executive by the Bank without cause. The payments are made partially from the Executive Salary Continuation Agreement, as amended, and partially from the SERP Agreements for 180 months following a Named Executive Officers termination of service (in most cases) and a portion of the payments then continue for the remainder of the executive’s life under the SERP Agreements.

If a Named Executive Officer retires from the Bank after reaching age 65, he or she is entitled to receive a percentage of his or her then current base salary from the Executive Salary Continuation Agreement, as amended, and the SERP Agreement payable in equal monthly installments for 180 months beginning the month following the month in which the executive’s retirement occurs. Following the end of the 180-month period, the SERP Agreement will continue a portion of this payment for the remainder of the executive’s life. The percentage of salary payable to the Named Executive Officers following normal retirement is as follows: Clemons – 30%; Richerson – 30%; Whitaker – 20%; McDearman – 20%; and Pominski – 10%. If a Named Executive Officer retires prior to reaching age 65, his or her retirement will be considered an “early retirement” under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreement, as amended, and the SERP Agreement if he or she has attained the age of 55 and has been continuously employed by the Bank for twenty years. If a Named Executive Officer’s retirement qualifies as an “early retirement” or a Named Executive Officer dies prior to the commencement of benefit payments under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, and SERP Agreements, then he or she shall be entitled to receive a benefit equal to the executive’s then accrued balance under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, and SERP Agreements, payable in equal monthly installments for 180 months beginning the month following the month in which the executive’s early retirement occurs in the case of “early retirement” and in a lump sum within 30 days following the executive’s death in the case of the executive’s death. In the case of early retirement, following the end of the 180-month period, the SERP Agreement will continue a portion of the early retirement payments for the remainder of the executive’s life. In the event that a Named Executive Officer becomes disabled prior to reaching early retirement or retirement, the Bank is obligated to pay to the executive an annual benefit from the Executive Salary Continuation Agreement, as amended, and the SERP Agreement equal to 60% of the executive’s salary and bonus at the time of disability, payable in equal monthly installments until the executive’s 65^th birthday. Following this date, the disability benefit is reduced to the Named Executive Officer’s normal retirement amount (as stated above) and paid for the remainder of the 180-month period following the first day of the third month following the executive’s disability. Following the end of the 180 month period, the SERP Agreement will continue a portion of the reduced disability payments for the remainder of the Named Executive Officer’s life.

Additional Life Insurance Benefits. On April 14, 2014, the Bank entered into an Executive Survivor Income Agreement (the “Executive Survivor Income Agreement”), with each of Messrs. Whitaker and McDearman and Ms. Pominski and a Director Survivor Income Agreement (the “Director Survivor Income Agreement”) with each of Messrs. Clemons and Richerson. The Executive Survivor Income Agreements and the Director Survivor Income Agreements were entered into to encourage the Named Executive Officers to remain in service to the Bank by the Bank providing certain survivor income benefits to designated beneficiaries if the Named Executive Officer dies prior to the termination of his or her employment, in the case of Messrs. Whitaker and McDearman and Ms. Pominski, or service on the Bank’s Board of Directors in, the case of Messrs. Clemons and Richerson.

In the event that Messrs. McDearman and Whitaker or Ms. Pominski is removed from office or Messrs. Clemons or Richerson is removed from the Board of Directors or any Named Executive Officer is permanently prohibited from participating in the Bank’s

13

activities by an order of the Bank’s regulators, or terminated for “cause”, in each case prior to such person’s death, all obligations of the Bank under the Executive Survivor Income Agreement or Director Survivor Income Agreement, as applicable, shall terminate. Cause under these agreements means the Bank has terminated the Named Executive Officer’s employment or service on the Board of Directors, as applicable, for any of the following reasons: (i) gross negligence or gross neglect of duties; (ii) commission of a felony or of a gross misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or (iii) fraud, disloyalty, or willful violation of any law or significant Bank policy committed in connection with the Named Executive Officer’s employment or service on the Board, as applicable, and resulting in an adverse effect on the Bank.

The amounts payable to the Named Executive Officers’ survivors under the Executive Survivor Income Agreements or the Director Survivor Income Agreement, as applicable, vary and, in some instances, are reduced based on the age of the Named Executive Officer at the time his or her employment or service on the Board of Directors is terminated. As of December 31, 2014, the amount payable under the agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers was $400,000. The Bank will pay the benefits due under the Executive Survivor Income Agreements and the Director Survivor Income Agreements from its general assets, but only so long as one of the Bank’s general assets is an enforceable life insurance policy on the Named Executive Officer’s life that was issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and Midland National Life Insurance Company.

Automobile Allowance. In addition to the above-described compensation, the Company provided automobile (and in the case of Mr. Clemons and Mr. Richerson, fuel) allowances in 2014 of $5,546, $4,969, $7,800 and $7,800 for each of Messrs. Clemons, Richerson, Whitaker and McDearman, respectively.

2015 Base Salary Adjustment. For 2015, base salaries have been set at $416,290, $324,913, $232,337, $250,000 and $171,600 for Messrs. Clemons, Richerson, Whitaker and McDearman, and Ms. Pominksi, respectively.

Section 162(m). As part of its role, the Personnel Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that the Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. The Company believes that compensation paid under the cash incentive plans is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, in certain situations, the Personnel Committee may approve compensation that will not meet these requirements in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for its executive officers.

Personnel Committee Report On Executive Compensation

The Personnel Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (the “CD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2014 with management. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Personnel Committee recommended to the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank, and each of the Boards of Directors has approved, that the CD&A be included in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting.

The foregoing report of the Personnel Committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference the Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this report by reference therein, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

Employment Agreements

The Company does not have employment agreements with any of its personnel, including the Named Executive Officers. However, the Company has entered into non-competition agreements with its Named Executive Officers and other employees, which would prevent such persons in most circumstances, from competing with the Bank for one (1) year following their termination. In addition, these persons are parties to Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, SERP Agreements and equity incentive plans, the benefits of which would cease to accrue upon the termination of the person’s employment with the Company or the Bank.

14

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

For a discussion of the amounts payable under each of the Named Executive Officer’s Executive Salary Continuation Agreement and SERP Agreement in the event that a Named Executive Officer’s employment terminated on account of disability, retirement or death, see the discussion beginning on page 12 above. In the event that the employment of a Named Executive Officer terminates for any reason other than death, disability or retirement by his or her voluntary action or he or she is discharged by the Bank without cause, the Bank is required to pay to the executive the vested portion of his or her accrual balance under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreement, as amended, and the SERP Agreement as of the date of termination in equal monthly installments for a period of 180 months commencing on the first month following the executive’s 65^th birthday.

The payment of benefits under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, is contingent on the Named Executive Officer not competing with the Bank for one (1) year after termination of employment. In the event there is a change in control of the Bank, the normal retirement benefit under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, and the SERP Agreements becomes fully vested without regard to the non-competition agreement and will be paid in equal monthly installments commencing thirty (30) days following the change in control and continuing for 180 months thereafter. Following the end of the 180-month period, the SERP Agreement will continue a portion of the change in control payments for the remainder of the executive’s life. A change in control will be deemed to have occurred if a “change in ownership,” a “change in the effective control,” or a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Bank occurs, as such terms are defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5) or any subsequent, applicable Treasury Regulation.

At December 31, 2014, the accrual balance and vested balance for each of the Named Executive Officers was as follows:

Named Executive Officer	Accrual Balance at December 31, 2014		Vested Balance at December 31, 2014
J. Randall Clemons	$	1,046,191	$	1,046,191
Elmer Richerson		766,161		766,161
Gary Whitaker		211,900		—
John McDearman		35,403		—
Lisa Pominski		37,165		—

At December 31, 2014, each of the Named Executive Officers was vested in the following percentages:

Named Executive Officer	Percentage Vested at December 31, 2014
J. Randall Clemons		100	%
Elmer Richerson		100	%
Gary Whitaker		—
John McDearman		—
Lisa Pominski		—

The Bank has purchased life insurance policies or other assets to provide the benefits payable to the Named Executive Officers and other executive officers that are a party to Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, and the SERP Agreements with the Bank. These insurance policies are the sole property of the Bank and are payable to the Bank. At December 31, 2014, the total liability of the Bank to the Named Executive Officers under the Executive Salary Continuation Agreements, as amended, and the SERP Agreements totaled $2,096,820 while the cash surrender value and face amount of the policies associated with these Named Executive Officers totaled approximately $4,621,236 and $7,859,474, respectively.

In the event that there was a change in control of the Company on December 31, 2014, all outstanding options that were then unvested would have vested. At that date, Messers. Clemons, Richerson, Whitaker and McDearman and Ms. Pominski held 1,800, 1,200, 9,000 and 700 unvested options, respectively. Accelerated vesting of stock option amounts are calculated as the difference between the sales price of our common stock on December 31, 2014 (or the date closest to December 31, 2014) ($47.75 per share)

15

and the respective exercise prices of in-the-money unvested stock options. Therefore, the value of these unvested options (the closing sales price less the exercise price) was $18,000, $12,000, $2,250, $5,250 and $5,600, respectively for Messers. Clemons, Richerson, Whitaker and McDearman and Ms. Pominski.

Had a Named Executive Officer died on December 31, 2014, his or her designated beneficiary would have been entitled to receive a payment of $400,000 from the Bank pursuant to the terms of the Named Executive Officer’s Executive Survivor Income Agreement or the Director Survivor Income Agreement, as applicable.

Had a Named Executive Officer been terminated on December 31, 2014, such officer would have received the full amount of his or her annual cash incentive payment earned for the year ended December 31, 2014. These amounts are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Company’s directors are classified in three classes, with directors in each class serving for three-year terms and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. The Board of Directors of the Company also serves as the Board of Directors of the Bank. In 2014, each director received $2,300 per month for his services as a director of the Company. In addition, each director received $850 per month for his services as a director of the Bank and $450 for each committee meeting of the Bank he attended, not to exceed $1,700 per month, as a member of the various committees on which he serves. In addition, fees of $759 and $561 were paid to each of the directors of the Company and the Bank, respectively, for attendance at the Company and the Bank planning retreats held during 2014. Messrs. C. Bell and Comer received $400 per month for serving on the Advisory Board of the Smith County branches of the Bank. Mr. J. Bell received $400 per month for serving on the Advisory Board of the DeKalb County branches of the Bank. Mr. Jordan received $200 per month serving on the Advisory Board of the Rutherford County branches of the Bank.

On April 14, 2014, the Bank entered into a Director Survivor Income Agreement with each of Messrs. Jack Bell, James Comer and James Patton (the “Outside Director Survivor Income Agreement”). The Outside Director Survivor Income Agreements were entered into to encourage Messrs. J. Bell, Comer and J. Patton to remain in service to the Bank by the Bank providing certain survivor income benefits to those director’s designated beneficiaries if he dies prior to the termination of his or her service on the Bank’s Board of Directors.

In the event that Messrs. J. Bell, Comer or J. Patton is removed from the Board of Directors or is permanently prohibited from participating in the Bank’s activities by an order of the Bank’s regulators, or his service on the Board of Directors is terminated for “cause”, in each case prior to such person’s death, all obligations of the Bank under the Outside Director Survivor Income Agreement shall terminate. Cause under these agreements means the Bank has terminated the Director’s service for any of the following reasons: (i) gross negligence or gross neglect of duties; (ii) commission of a felony or of a gross misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; or (iii) fraud, disloyalty, or willful violation of any law or significant Bank policy committed in connection with the director’s service on the Board of Directors and resulting in an adverse effect on the Bank.

The amounts payable to the Messrs. J. Bell’s, Comer’s or J. Patton’s survivors under the Outside Director Survivor Income Agreements vary and, in some instances, are reduced based on the age of the director at the time his or her service on the Board of Directors is terminated. As of December 31, 2014, the amount payable under the agreements with each of the directors was $400,000. The Bank will pay the benefits due under the Outside Director Survivor Income Agreements from its general assets, but only so long as one of the Bank’s general assets is an enforceable life insurance policy on the director’s life that was issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and Midland National Life Insurance Company.

Personnel Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During fiscal 2014, the Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank was composed of Messrs. Comer, H. Patton, Bentley and J.A. Patton, with Mr. J.A. Patton serving as the committee’s Chairman. None of these persons has at any time been an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. There are no relationships among the Company’s executive officers, members of the Personnel Committee or entities whose executives serve on the Board of Directors or the Personnel Committee that require disclosure under applicable regulations of the SEC.

No executive officer of the Company or the Bank has served as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Personnel Committee. No executive officer of the Company or the Bank has served as a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the Personnel Committee. No executive officer of the Company or the Bank has served as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of the Company or the Bank.

For a discussion of those officers and employees who participated in deliberations of the Board of Directors of either the Company or the Bank concerning executive officer compensation, see “Compensation Discussion & Analysis” above.

22

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Some directors and principal officers of the Company at present, as in the past, are customers of the Bank and have had and expect to have loan or deposit transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. In addition, some of the directors and officers of the Bank are at present, as in the past, affiliated with businesses which are customers of the Bank and which have had and expect to have loan transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business. These loans or deposits were made in the ordinary course of business and were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing in the market at the time for comparable transactions with other parties. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, these loans do not involve more than a normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

During 2014, Jack Bell Builders was paid an aggregate of $1,176,000 by the Bank for repairs and maintenance of several of the Bank’s branch offices and the construction of a new branch location. This company is owned 100% by Jack Bell, a director of the Company and the Bank. Mr. Jack Bell is the son of Mr. Charles Bell, another director of the Company. The Building Committee makes recommendations to the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank on the projects for which Mr. Bell is given consideration. Mr. Jack Bell excuses himself and refrains from voting when discussions and/or votes are taken on a particular building project. Mr. Charles Bell also excuses himself and refrains from voting on any building project in which Jack Bell Builders has an interest.

Related party transactions between the Company or the Bank and the directors or executive officers are approved in advance by the Company’s or the Bank’s Board of Directors, as appropriate.

Appendix A

Wilson Bank Holding Company

Audit Committee Charter

I. Purpose

The purpose of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) of Wilson Bank Holding Company (the “Company”) is to assist the Board of Directors (the “Board”) with its oversight responsibilities regarding: (i) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements; (ii) the integrity of the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and the audits of the financial statements; (iii) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iv) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence; and (v) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditor. The Committee shall prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement.

In addition to the powers and responsibilities expressly delegated to the Committee in this Charter, the Committee may exercise any other powers and carry out any other responsibilities delegated to it by the Board from time to time consistent with the Company’s bylaws. The powers and responsibilities delegated by the Board to the Committee in this Charter or otherwise shall be exercised and carried out by the Committee as it deems appropriate without requirement of Board approval, and any decision made by the Committee (including any decision to exercise or refrain from exercising any of the powers delegated to the Committee hereunder) shall be at the Committee’s sole discretion. While acting within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it, the Committee shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Committee shall have the power to determine which matters are within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to it.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee’s responsibilities are limited to oversight. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements as well as the Company’s financial reporting process, accounting policies, internal audit function, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. The independent auditor is responsible for performing an audit of the Company’s annual financial statements, expressing an opinion as to the conformity of such annual financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles and reviewing the Company’s quarterly financial statements. It is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosure are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable laws, rules and regulations. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on the integrity of those persons within the Company and of the professionals and experts (including the Company’s internal auditor (or others responsible for the internal audit function, including contracted non-employee or audit or accounting firms engaged to provide internal audit services) (the “internal auditor”) and the Company’s independent auditor) from which the Committee receives information and, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons, professionals or experts.

Further, auditing literature, particularly Statement of Accounting Standards No. 71, defines the term “review” to include a particular set of required procedures to be undertaken by independent auditors. The members of the Committee are not independent auditors, and the term “review” as used in this Charter is not intended to have that meaning and should not be interpreted to suggest that the Committee members can or should follow the procedures required of auditors performing reviews of financial statements.

II. Membership

The Committee shall consist of at least three members of the Board. Each Committee member must not have participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any current subsidiary of the Company at any time during the past three (3) years and must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, except as may be acceptable to the Board, each Committee member shall satisfy the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and Rule l0A-3(b)(l) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

A-1

The members of the Committee, including the Chair of the Committee, shall be appointed by the Board. Committee members may be removed from the Committee, with or without cause, by the Board.

III. Meetings and Procedures

The Chair (or in his or her absence, a member designated by the Chair) shall preside at each meeting of the Committee and set the agendas for Committee meetings. The Committee shall have the authority to establish its own rules and procedures for notice and conduct of its meetings so long as they are not inconsistent with any provisions of the Company’s bylaws that are applicable to the Committee.

The Committee shall meet at least once during each fiscal quarter and more frequently as the Committee deems desirable. The Committee shall meet separately, periodically, with management, with the internal auditor and with the independent auditor.

All non-management directors that are not members of the Committee may at the discretion of the Committee, attend and observe meetings of the Committee, but shall not be entitled to vote. The Committee may, at its discretion, include in its meetings members of the Company’s management, representatives of the independent auditor, the internal auditor, any other financial personnel employed or retained by the Company or any other persons whose presence the Committee believes to be necessary or appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may also exclude from its meetings any persons it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, any non-management director that is not a member of the Committee.

The Committee may retain any independent counsel, experts or advisors (accounting, financial or otherwise) that the Committee believes to be necessary or appropriate to carry out its duties. The Committee may also utilize the services of the Company’s regular legal counsel or other advisors to the Company. The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditor for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company and to any advisors employed by the Committee.

The Committee may conduct or authorize investigations into any matters within the scope of the powers and responsibilities delegated to the Committee.

IV. Powers and Responsibilities

Interaction with the Independent Auditor

1. Appointment and Oversight.

If the Committee elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the Committee must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. Committee pre-approval of non-audit services (other than review and attest services) also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC.
