Patterson, 69, joined the then-Bank of Mississippi in 1972 and has worked his way up the ranks of the $13.3 billion financial holding company.
Patterson, who has served in his dual roles of the Tupelo-based financial holding company since 1991, will continue to be chairman and CEO until a successor is named and the transition is complete, according to the company.
A new leader is expected to be named by the next shareholders’ meeting in April 2013.
