Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit Plans.
 
Trustmark Corporation (the “Company”) is changing the recordkeeper for the Company’s 401(k) Plan. As a result of this change in recordkeeper, a conversion period is necessary to transition account and 401(k) Plan records. On December 21, 2006, the Company sent a notice to participants in the 401(k) Plan informing them that the 401(k) Plan would be changing its recordkeeper. The notice also stated that while this conversion is being made, participants in the 401(k) Plan would not be able access their accounts to direct or diversify their investments or obtain a distribution from the 401(k) Plan. Participants will not be able to effectuate investment changes in the 401(k) Plan for the period starting on January 23, 2007 and ending on February 16, 2007. This period is referred to as the "Blackout Period." Any fund transfers and future allocation changes must be processed by 3:00 pm (Central Time) on January 22, 2007 to occur at the close of business on that date.
 
A participant in the 401(k) Plan, a security holder or other interested person may obtain, without charge, information regarding the Blackout Period by contacting T. Harris Collier, III, General Counsel and Secretary, at (601) 208-5088, Trustmark Corporation, 248 East Capitol Street, Jackson, Mississippi 39201.
 
On January 5, 2007, the Company sent a blackout trading restriction notice (the "BTR Notice") to its executive officers and directors informing them that, pursuant to Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC’s rules promulgated thereunder, they would be prohibited during the Blackout Period from purchasing and selling shares of the Company's common stock (including derivative securities pertaining to such shares) acquired in connection with their employment as an executive officer or service as a director.
 
A copy of the BTR Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
