NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MARCH 24, 2005

To Community Bank of Smith County Shareholders:

     Notice is hereby given that a special meeting in lieu of an annual meeting of shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County will be held at the Community Bank of Gordonsville, 7 New Middleton Highway, Gordonsville, TN 38563 on March 24, 2005, at 6:30 p.m., local time, for the following purposes:

     We have fixed the close of business on February 1, 2005 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. Only holders of Community Bank of Smith County common stock of record at the close of business on that date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting. As of the record date, Wilson Bank Holding Company and its directors and officers owned 194,722 of the 387,866 shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock issued and outstanding.

     A form of proxy and a proxy statement/prospectus containing more detailed information with respect to the matter to be considered at the special meeting accompanies this notice. A copy of the merger agreement is attached as Appendix A to the proxy statement/prospectus.

     Dissenting shareholders who comply with the provisions of Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, are entitled to dissent from the merger and receive payment of the fair value of their shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock if the merger is consummated. A copy of Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act is attached as Appendix B to the proxy statement/prospectus. Please see the section entitled “The Merger - Dissenters’ Rights” in the proxy statement/prospectus for a summary of the procedures to be followed in asserting these dissenters’ rights. A dissenting shareholder will be entitled to payment only if written notice of intent to demand payment is delivered to Community Bank of Smith County before the vote is taken and the shareholder does not vote in favor of the merger agreement.

     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting is necessary to approve and adopt the merger agreement. Because Wilson Bank Holding Company and its directors and affiliates own in excess of 50% of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock, approval of the merger is highly likely.

     Your board of directors has determined that the merger agreement is in the best interests of Community Bank of Smith County’s shareholders and recommends that shareholders vote “For” approval and adoption of the merger.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER

Bank of Smith County. Community Bank of Smith County operates two full-service branches, one in Carthage and one in Gordonsville, Tennessee and is considered a subsidiary of Wilson Bank Holding Company for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. Community Bank of Smith County offers a wide range of banking services, including checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit and loans for consumer, commercial and real estate purposes.

The Special Meeting (page 18)

     The Community Bank of Smith County special meeting will be on March 24, 2005, at 6:30 p.m., local time, at the Community Bank of Gordonsville, 7 New Middleton Highway in Gordonsville, Tennessee. At the Community Bank of Smith County special meeting, you will be asked:

Risk Factors (page 14)

     See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 for a discussion of the factors you should carefully consider before deciding how to vote your shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock at the special meeting.

Reasons for the Merger (page 21)

     Since July 2002, Wilson Bank Holding Company and its three bank subsidiaries have incurred significantly higher internal control, auditing and accounting costs related to their compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of that act. These costs, which have increased substantially during 2004 as a result of the requirement that Wilson Bank Holding Company document, and have its independent public accountants attest to, the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting, are increased over bank holding companies of similar size, by the fact that Wilson Bank Holding Company maintains three separate bank subsidiaries. Prompted by these elevating costs, management of Wilson Bank Holding Company began consideration of combining Wilson Bank and Trust, DeKalb Community Bank and Community Bank of Smith County. The boards of directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company, Wilson Bank and Trust, DeKalb Community Bank and Community Bank of Smith County thereafter agreed that it is in the best interests of each of the company’s respective shareholders to merge DeKalb Community Bank and Community Bank of Smith County with and into Wilson Bank and Trust. The boards of directors believe that combining these entities will result in cost savings to the combined companies related to both Sarbanes-Oxley compliance and the centralization of certain back office functions.

Community Bank of Smith County’s Recommendation to Shareholders (page 19)

     Community Bank of Smith County’s board believes that the merger is fair to you and in your best interests, and the members of the board, other than those directors abstaining from the vote because of the fact that they also serve on the board of directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company, unanimously recommend that you approve the merger agreement attached hereto as Appendix A.

Record Date; Vote Required (page 18)

     You may vote at the Community Bank of Smith County special meeting if you owned Community Bank of Smith County common stock at the close of business on February 1, 2005. On that date, there were 387,866 shares Community Bank of Smith County common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, 193,933 of which were owned by Wilson Bank Holding Company, 328 of which were owned by officers and directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company other than those persons who are also directors of Community Bank of Smith County, and 41,159 of which were owned by the officers and directors of Community Bank of Smith County. You are entitled to cast one vote for each share of common stock you owned on that date.

     In order for the merger to be approved, under Tennessee law, Community Bank of Smith County shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock on the record date must vote in favor of the merger. Because Wilson Bank Holding Company and its officers and directors own in excess of 50.2% of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock, approval of the merger is highly likely.

traded. Based on information known to Wilson Bank Holding Company’s senior management, the closing sales price for shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock on November 15, 2004 (the day prior to the signing of the merger agreement) was $30.50. On ___, 2005, the most recent practicable date prior to the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus, the closing sales price of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock was $___. To the knowledge of the Community Bank of Smith County senior management, the last sale of Community Bank of Smith County common stock was the sale of 160 shares at $26.00 per share on December 14, 2004.

     Based on the exchange ratio in the merger agreement, the market value of the consideration that Community Bank of Smith County’s shareholders, other than Wilson Bank Holding Company, will receive in the merger for each share of Community Bank of Smith County common stock would be approximately $30.63 based on the sale price for Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock on November 15, 2004 and $___based on the closing sale price for Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock on ___, 2005.

Number of Shareholders

     As of February 1, 2005, there were approximately 361 shareholders of record of Community Bank of Smith County common stock. As of February 1, 2005, there were approximately 1,651 shareholders of record of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock.

Shares Held by Certain Shareholders

     Adoption of the merger agreement by Community Bank of Smith County shareholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the special meeting. As of February 1, 2005, approximately 10.6% of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock were held by directors and executive officers of Community Bank of Smith County and their affiliates and an additional 50.1% of the outstanding shares were held by Wilson Bank Holding Company and its directors and executive officers and their affiliates, other than those persons who also serve as directors of Community Bank of Smith County.

RISK FACTORS

     Before you vote for adoption of the merger agreement, you should carefully consider the risks described below in addition to the other information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page 17. By voting for adoption of the merger agreement, you will be choosing to invest in Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing Wilson Bank Holding Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, Wilson Bank Holding Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Associated with the Merger

     Because Wilson Bank Holding Company and certain of its board members and executive officers own in excess of 50% of the outstanding common stock of Community Bank of Smith County there are certain conflicts of interest related to the merger.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company owns 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock. Additionally, the executive officers and directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company, including those persons who are also directors of Community Bank of Smith County, own 0.29% of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County. Under Tennessee law and Community Bank of Smith County’s organizational documents, the merger must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock entitled to vote at the meeting. Because of the ownership of Wilson Bank Holding Company and its officers and directors (all of whom are anticipated to vote in favor of the merger), approval of the merger by the required shareholder vote is highly likely. Furthermore, Wilson Bank Holding Company proposed the merger and its principal terms to the board of directors of Community Bank of Smith County, and was not willing to condition the merger on the approval of the shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County who were not affiliated with Wilson Bank Holding Company. The board of directors of Community Bank of Smith County was aware of these facts when it approved the merger and the board members recommended that the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders vote in favor of the merger. Messrs. Charles Bell, Randall Clemons, and James Comer, all of whom are directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company, abstained from voting on the merger. As described below in the sections entitled “The Merger – Opinion of Community Bank of Smith County’s Financial Advisor” and “The Merger Agreement – Conditions to the Merger,” the board of directors of Community Bank of Smith County must receive the opinion of its financial advisor prior to the mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus to the effect that the merger consideration to be received by the shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County is fair from a financial point of view.

     The anticipated benefits of consolidating Community Bank of Smith County and Wilson Bank and Trust may not be realized.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company and Community Bank of Smith County have entered into the merger agreement with the expectation that the merger will result in various benefits including, among other things, that the expenses for the combined bank will be significantly less than those experienced by the separate stand alone operations, particularly with respect to expenses associated with Wilson Bank Holding Company’s accounting, auditing and internal control function and its Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts. The parties also anticipate that the combined structure will result in additional savings and operating efficiencies with the centralization of certain back office activities. Achieving the anticipated benefits of the merger is subject to a number of uncertainties, including the ability to integrate the operations of Community Bank of Smith County in an efficient and effective manner. Failure to achieve these expense savings and operating efficiencies could result in unanticipated additional cost to Wilson Bank Holding Company.

If the conditions to the merger are not met, the merger may not occur.

     Specified conditions set forth in the merger agreement must be satisfied or waived to complete the merger. For a more complete discussion of the conditions to the merger, please see “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to the Merger” beginning on page 37. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the merger will not occur or will be delayed, and each of Wilson Bank Holding Company, Wilson Bank and Trust and Community Bank of Smith County may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the merger. The following conditions must be satisfied or waived, if permissible, before Wilson Bank Holding Company and Community Bank of Smith County are obligated to complete the merger:

14

Risks Related to Wilson Bank Holding Company’s Business

     Wilson Bank Holding Company is geographically concentrated in Wilson County, Tennessee and its surrounding counties and changes in local economic conditions impact its profitability.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company operates primarily in Wilson, DeKalb and Smith counties and the surrounding counties and substantially all of its loan customers and most of its deposit and other customers live or have operations in this same geographic area. Accordingly, Wilson Bank Holding Company’s success significantly depends upon the growth in population, income levels, and deposits in these areas, along with the continued attraction of business ventures to the area, and its profitability is impacted by the changes in general economic conditions in this market. In addition, and like Community Bank of Smith County, unfavorable local or national economic conditions could reduce Wilson Bank Holding Company’s growth rate, affect the ability of its customers to repay their loans and generally affect its financial condition and results of operations. Wilson Bank Holding Company is less able than a larger institution to spread the risks of unfavorable local economic conditions across a large number of diversified economies.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company’s key management personnel may leave at any time.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company’s future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service of its key management personnel, especially Randall Clemons, its president and chief executive officer and Elmer Richerson, the president of Wilson Bank and Trust. While Wilson Bank Holding Company does not have employment agreements with any of its personnel and can provide no assurance that it will be able to retain any of its key officers and employees or attract and retain qualified personnel in the future, it has entered into non-competition agreements with such persons which would prevent them in most circumstances, from competing with Wilson Bank and Trust for one year following their termination. In addition, these persons are parties to certain deferred compensation and equity incentive plans, the benefits of which would cease to accrue upon the termination of the person’s employment with Wilson Bank Holding Company or Wilson Bank and Trust.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company, as well as Wilson Bank and Trust, operate in a highly regulated environment and are supervised and examined by various federal and state regulatory agencies who may adversely affect Wilson Bank Holding Company’s ability to conduct business.

     The Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve supervise and examine Wilson Bank and Trust and Wilson Bank Holding Company, respectively. Because Wilson Bank and Trust’s deposits are federally insured up to $100,000, the FDIC also regulates its activities. These and other regulatory agencies impose certain regulations and restrictions on Wilson Bank and Trust, including:

15

     Federal and state regulatory agencies have extensive discretion and power to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of law by banks and bank holding companies. As a result, Wilson Bank Holding Company must expend significant time and expense to assure that it is in compliance with regulatory requirements and agency practices.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company, as well as Wilson Bank and Trust, also undergoes periodic examinations by one or more regulatory agencies. Following such examinations, Wilson Bank Holding Company or Wilson Bank and Trust may be required, among other things, to make additional provisions to its allowance for loan loss or to restrict its operations. These actions would result from the regulators’ judgments based on information available to them at the time of their examination. Wilson Bank and Trust’s operations are also governed by a wide variety of state and federal consumer protection laws and regulations. These federal and state regulatory restrictions limit the manner in which Wilson Bank Holding Company and Wilson Bank and Trust may conduct business and obtain financing. These laws and regulations can and do change significantly from time to time, and any such change could adversely affect Wilson Bank Holding Company’s results of operations.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock is thinly traded, and recent prices may not reflect the prices at which the stock would trade in an active trading market.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock, like that of Community Bank of Smith County, is not traded through an organized exchange, but rather is traded in individually-arranged transactions between buyers and sellers. Therefore, recent prices, including those reflected in this proxy statement/prospectus may not necessarily reflect the actual value of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock. Your ability to sell the shares of common stock you acquire as a result of the merger in a timely manner and at a price similar to those prices set out in this document may be substantially limited by the lack of a trading market for the common stock.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This proxy statement/prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be made directly in this proxy statement/prospectus referring to Wilson Bank Holding Company, including the Appendices attached to this proxy statement/prospectus and made part of this proxy statement/prospectus, and may include statements regarding the period following completion of the merger. These statements are intended to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

     These forward-looking statements are based on current projections about operations, industry, financial condition and liquidity. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance, the merger or Wilson Bank Holding Company’s businesses, identify forward-looking statements. You should note that the discussion of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s reasons for the merger and the description of the opinion of Community Bank of Smith County’s financial advisor contain many forward-looking statements that describe beliefs, assumptions and estimates of the management of each of Community Bank of Smith County and Wilson Bank Holding Company and public sources as of the indicated dates and those forward-looking expectations may have changed as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Those statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results could differ materially and adversely from these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to the following matters:

     The above list is not intended to be exhaustive and there may be other factors that would preclude us from realizing the predictions made in the forward-looking statements. Because such forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Community Bank of Smith County shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.

     All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the merger or other matters addressed in this proxy statement/prospectus and attributable to Wilson Bank Holding Company or Community Bank of Smith County or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, neither Wilson Bank Holding Company nor Community Bank of Smith County undertakes any obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this proxy statement/prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

     Community Bank of Smith County and Wilson Bank Holding Company have mailed this proxy statement/prospectus to you, on or about ___, 2005, and included with it the notice of special meeting of Community Bank of Smith County shareholders. Community Bank of Smith County also has included a form of proxy that Community Bank of Smith County’s board of directors is soliciting for use at the Community Bank of Smith County special meeting to be held on March 24, 2005 at 6:30 p.m., local time, at the Community Bank of Gordonsville, 7 New Middleton Highway in Gordonsville, Tennessee. This proxy statement/prospectus is also furnished to you as a prospectus in connection with Wilson Bank Holding Company’s issuance of shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock pursuant to the merger agreement.

Purpose of the Community Bank of Smith County Meeting

     At the Community Bank of Smith County special meeting, Community Bank of Smith County will ask you to consider and vote on the following proposals:

Revocation of Proxies

     You have the unconditional right to revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by any of the following actions:

     To be effective, we must receive notice of your revocation at or before the special meeting.

Record Date

     The Community Bank of Smith County board of directors has fixed the close of business on February 1, 2005, as the record date for the determination of the holders of Community Bank of Smith County common stock entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the special meeting. Only holders of record of shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock on the record date will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the special meeting.

Vote Required

     As of the record date there were 387,866 shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote on the merger agreement and the merger, and each other matter properly submitted at the special meeting. Approval and adoption of the merger agreement by the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of record of the Community Bank of Smith County common stock. Under Community Bank of Smith County’s bylaws, the presence, in person, or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock outstanding and entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the special meeting. The Community Bank of Smith County board recommends that the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders vote FOR approval and adoption of the merger and the merger agreement.

     To Community Bank of Smith County’s knowledge, Wilson Bank Holding Company is the only Community Bank of Smith County shareholder that owned greater than 5% of the outstanding Community Bank of Smith County common stock as of February 1, 2005.

18

     Based on the 387,866 shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock outstanding on February 1, 2005, a total of 193,934 shares must be voted in favor of the proposal for the merger agreement and merger to be approved by the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders. As of February 1, 2005, the directors and executive officers of Community Bank of Smith County, and their affiliates, as a group, beneficially owned 41,159 of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock and the directors and executive officers of Wilson Bank Holding Company, and their affiliates, as a group, other than those persons who are also directors of Community Bank of Smith County, beneficially owned 328 of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock. Therefore, as of February 1, 2005 the directors and executive officers of Community Bank of Smith County and their affiliates, as a group, combined with the directors and executive officers of Wilson Bank Holding Company and their affiliates, as a group, other than those persons who are also directors of Community Bank of Smith County, beneficially owned 21.4% of the 193,934 shares required for approval of the merger agreement and merger. As of the record date, Wilson Bank Holding Company owned 193,933 of the 387,866 shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock outstanding. Because it is expected that Wilson Bank Holding Company and its directors and executive officers owning Community Bank of Smith County common stock will vote in favor of the merger, approval of the merger is highly likely.

Quorum; Broker Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

     The required quorum for the transaction of business at the special meeting is a majority of the shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock issued and outstanding on the record date. Abstentions and broker non-votes each will be included in determining the number of shares present and voting at the meeting for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Because adoption of the merger agreement requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock entitled to vote, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against adoption of the merger agreement. In addition, the failure of a Community Bank of Smith County shareholder to return a proxy will have the effect of a vote against the adoption of the merger agreement.

     The actions proposed in this proxy statement/prospectus are not matters that can be voted on by brokers holding shares for beneficial owners without the owners’ specific instructions. If your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee and you do not instruct such broker, bank or other nominee, they will not vote your shares. Such failure to vote is referred to as a broker non-vote. Accordingly, if a broker, bank or other nominee holds your shares you are urged to instruct such broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares.

THE MERGER

     This section of the proxy statement/prospectus describes material aspects of the merger. While Wilson Bank Holding Company and Community Bank of Smith County believe that the description covers the material terms of the merger and the related transactions, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read this entire proxy statement/prospectus, the attached appendices and the other documents to which this proxy statement/prospectus refers carefully for a more complete understanding of merger.

General Description of the Merger

     At the effective time of the merger, Community Bank of Smith County will merge with and into Wilson Bank and Trust. Upon completion of the merger, the separate corporate existence of Community Bank of Smith County will cease and Wilson Bank and Trust will continue as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wilson Bank Holding Company. Wilson Bank and Trust will, however, operate the Community Bank of Smith County branches as Community Bank of Smith County, a Wilson Bank and Trust branch.

     Each share of Community Bank of Smith County common stock outstanding at the effective time of the merger will be converted automatically into the right to receive 1.0043 shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock. Wilson Bank Holding Company will not issue fractional shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock. Instead, in lieu of any fractional share that Community Bank of Smith County shareholders would otherwise receive, Community Bank of Smith County shareholders will receive cash equal to their fractional share amount multiplied by the last sale price of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock on the date closest to, but not after, the closing date of the merger.

     Based on the exchange ratio and the number of shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock and Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock outstanding and assuming that none of the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders exercise their dissenters’ rights, approximately 195,000 shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock will be issued to shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County, other than Wilson Bank Holding Company, pursuant to the merger agreement, representing approximately 4.16% of the Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock outstanding immediately after the merger.

Background of the Merger

     Community Bank of Smith County was organized in 1996 by Wilson Bank Holding Company. Wilson Bank and Trust, a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilson Bank Holding Company, applied to the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions to open a branch in Carthage and to simultaneously organize and incorporate that branch as Community Bank of Smith County. Thereafter, Community Bank of Smith County issued additional shares to residents of Smith County sufficient to reduce Wilson Bank Holding Company’s initial ownership to 50% of the shares outstanding. Community Bank of Smith County has remained a 50% owned subsidiary of Wilson Bank Holding Company since that time. Wilson Bank Holding Company has included Community Bank of Smith County as a consolidated subsidiary in its consolidated financial statements; however, eight of the eleven members of the Community Bank of Smith County board of directors are independent of any association with Wilson Bank Holding Company. Randall Clemons, Chief Executive Officer of Wilson Bank Holding Company and Wilson Bank and Trust, serves as Chief Executive Officer of Community Bank of Smith County, but the Chairman, President, Vice Presidents and other officers of Community Bank of Smith County are officers only of Community Bank of Smith County.

     As a result of recent changes in U.S. securities laws, primarily the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Wilson Bank Holding Company incurred significantly higher internal control, accounting and auditing costs because Community Bank of Smith County was a separate corporate entity with substantial minority ownership. As a result of these increased costs, and similar increased costs with respect to the operations of DeKalb Community Bank, its other 50% owned subsidiary, Wilson Bank Holding Company’s management began consideration of combining DeKalb Community Bank and the Community Bank of Smith County with Wilson Bank and Trust.

     At a Wilson Bank Holding Company board meeting held on August 23, the board of directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company engaged in preliminary discussions regarding acquiring the other 50% of the shares of Community Bank of Smith County.

     At a Community Bank of Smith County board of directors meeting held on September 7, 2004, Randall Clemons, the Chief Executive Officer of Wilson Bank Holding Company and a director of Community Bank of Smith County, presented a proposal from Wilson Bank Holding Company to acquire the other 50% of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock not owned by Wilson Bank Holding Company. At that meeting, the proposed terms of the merger were discussed, including that the shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County, other than Wilson Bank Holding Company, would receive shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock in exchange for their shares of Community Bank of

20

Smith County common stock based on the respective book values of each company’s common stock as of December 31, 2004, as determined by an outside financial advisory firm. At that meeting, the Community Bank of Smith County board of directors discussed the concerns of its members as they related to the shareholders and employees of Community Bank of Smith County and all of the directors present at the meeting, other than Messrs. Bell, Clemons and Comer, unanimously approved the transaction.

     At its September 27, 2004 board meeting, a representative of PBS made a presentation to the board of Wilson Bank Holding Company regarding the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock. At this meeting, the board of directors further considered the potential acquisition and engaged in general discussion regarding possible valuation levels for the interest.

     On October 12, 2004, the board of directors of Community Bank of Smith County held a meeting to discuss the terms of the draft of the merger agreement and to engage PBS as its financial advisor. At that meeting, representatives of PBS discussed with the Community Bank of Smith County board of directors the procedures to be used by PBS to evaluate the book values of Community Bank of Smith County and Wilson Bank Holding Company in connection with establishing the merger consideration, and the board of directors approved the engagement of PBS as its financial advisor. At this meeting, the members of the board of directors were also given a copy of a draft of the merger agreement to review for discussion at a future meeting of the board of directors.

     During the next three weeks, certain members of the board of directors of Community Bank of Smith County had discussions with Mr. Clemons about concerns they had with the breadth of the representations and warranties being requested of Community Bank of Smith County in the merger agreement along with concerns regarding the manner in which the merger consideration was determined.

     On October 25, 2004, the board of directors of Wilson Bank and Trust met to consider the terms of the merger agreement and the merger. Following a discussion about the terms of the merger, the board approved the merger agreement and the merger.

     On October 25, 2004, the board of directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company reviewed the terms of the merger agreement and, following a discussion on the terms, approved the merger agreement and the merger.

     At the November 9, 2004, meeting of the Community Bank of Smith County board of directors, a revised draft of the merger agreement was presented to the board in response to the concerns expressed by certain members of the board following its October 12, 2004 meeting. The changes to the merger agreement were reviewed by the board and a general discussion followed regarding the manner in which the book values of Community Bank of Smith County and Wilson Bank Holding Company could be adjusted by PBS in determining the merger consideration. Following a discussion of the merger agreement, the board of directors voted to approve the merger agreement and all of the directors voted in favor of the merger and to approve and adopt the merger agreement and to recommend that the shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County vote “For” approval and adoption of the merger agreement. Messrs. Charles Bell, Randall Clemons and James Comer, each of whom is a director of Wilson Bank Holding Company, abstained from voting.

     On November 16, 2004, Wilson Bank Holding Company, Wilson Bank and Trust and Community Bank of Smith County executed the merger agreement. On January 24, 2005 and January 25, 2005, representatives of PBS met with the boards of directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company and Community Bank of Smith County to present the fairness opinion and to discuss the fairness, from a financial perspective, of the merger consideration.

Opinion of Community Bank of Smith County’s Financial Advisor

     PBS was engaged by Community Bank of Smith County to advise Community Bank of Smith County’s board of directors as to the fairness of the consideration, from a financial perspective, to be paid by Wilson Bank Holding Company to Community Bank of Smith County’s shareholders in connection with the merger.

     PBS is a bank consulting firm with offices located throughout the United States. As part of its investment banking business, PBS is regularly engaged in reviewing the fairness of financial institution acquisition transactions from a financial perspective and in the valuation of financial institutions and other businesses and their securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, estate settlements, and other transactions. Neither PBS nor any of its affiliates has a material financial interest in Community Bank of Smith County or Wilson Bank Holding Company. PBS was selected to advise Community Bank of Smith County’s board of directors because of its familiarity with Tennessee financial institutions and knowledge of the banking industry as a whole.

     PBS performed certain analyses described herein and presented the range of values for Community Bank of Smith County, resulting from such analyses, to the Community Bank of Smith County board of directors in connection with its advice as to the fairness of the consideration to be paid to the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders.

     A fairness opinion of PBS was delivered to the Community Bank of Smith County board of directors of the Bank on January 25, 2005 at a special meeting of the Community Bank of Smith County board of directors. A copy of the fairness opinion, which includes a summary of the assumptions made and information analyzed in deriving the fairness opinion, is attached as Appendix C to this proxy statement/prospectus and should be read in its entirety.

     In arriving at its fairness opinion, PBS reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to Community Bank of Smith County and Wilson Bank Holding Company. PBS considered certain financial and stock market data of Community Bank of Smith County and Wilson Bank Holding Company, compared that data with similar data for certain other bank holding companies and considered the financial terms of certain other comparable bank transactions that had recently been effected. PBS also considered such other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations and financial, economic and market criteria that it deemed relevant. In connection with its review, PBS did not independently verify the foregoing information and relied on such information as being complete and accurate in all material respects. Financial forecasts prepared by PBS were based on assumptions believed by PBS to be reasonable and to reflect currently available information. PBS did not make an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets of Community Bank of Smith County or Wilson Bank Holding Company.

     As part of preparing this fairness opinion, PBS performed a limited scope due diligence review of Wilson Bank Holding Company and Community Bank of Smith County the week of December 20^th 2004, at Wilson Bank Holding Company’s and Community Bank of Smith County’s corporate offices. As part of the due diligence, PBS reviewed among other things the following items:

24

     PBS also reviewed and analyzed the historical performance of Community Bank of Smith County including:

     PBS reviewed and tabulated statistical data regarding the loan portfolio, securities portfolio and other performance ratios and statistics. Financial projections were prepared and analyzed as well as other financial studies, analyses and investigations as deemed relevant for the purposes of this opinion. In review of the aforementioned information, PBS took into account its assessment of general market and financial conditions, its experience in other similar transactions, and its knowledge of the banking industry generally.

     In connection with rendering the fairness opinion and preparing its written and oral presentation to Community Bank of Smith County’s board of directors, PBS performed a variety of financial analyses, including those summarized herein. The summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by PBS in this regard. The preparation of a fairness opinion involves various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of these methods to the particular circumstances and therefore, such an opinion is not readily susceptible to summary description. Accordingly, notwithstanding the separate factors summarized below, PBS believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses and of the factors considered by it, without considering all analyses and factors, could create an incomplete view of the evaluation process underlying its opinion. In performing its analyses, PBS made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond Community Bank of Smith County’s or Wilson Bank Holding Company’s control. The analyses performed by PBS are not necessarily indicative of actual values or future results, which may be significantly more or less

25

favorable than suggested by such analyses. In addition, analyses relating to the values of businesses do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the process by which businesses actually may be sold.

     In the proposed merger, Community Bank of Smith County shareholders will receive 1.0043 shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock for each share of Community Bank of Smith County held by them at the effective time. As such, Wilson Bank Holding Company will issue approximately 194,766 shares of its common stock in exchange for the 193,933 shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock outstanding that are not owned by Wilson Bank Holding Company. The 193,933 shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock currently owned by Wilson Bank Holding Company will be cancelled at the effective time of the merger.

     On January 25, 2005, the proposed consideration to be received by the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders represented $31.64 per share based on the closing price of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock on January 25, 2005.

     The $31.64 per share represents a multiple of Community Bank of Smith County’s December 31, 2004 stated common equity of 1.95X, a multiple of Community Bank of Smith County’s 2004 stated net income of 22.05X and a premium of 13.36% over Community Bank of Smith County’s weighted average price per share since January 1, 2004 of $27.91. In addition, the proposed consideration to be received by Community Bank of Smith County’s shareholders represents 16.30% of Community Bank of Smith County’s December 31, 2004 total deposits and a 10.40% premium over Community Bank of Smith County’s December 31, 2004 tangible equity as a percentage of the Community Bank of Smith County’s December 31, 2004 core deposits.

     Acquisition Comparison Analysis: In performing this analysis, PBS reviewed the 89 bank transactions in the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Alabama since June 30, 2001, for which financial information was available. The purpose of the analysis was to obtain an evaluation range of Community Bank of Smith County based on these comparable group bank acquisition transactions. Median multiples of book value, earnings, deposits and the premium paid over the seller’s tangible equity as a percentage of the acquired institution’s core deposits implied by the comparable group transactions were utilized in obtaining a range for the acquisition value of Community Bank of Smith County. In addition to reviewing recent comparable group bank transactions, PBS performed separate comparable analyses for transactions where the bank being acquired had total assets between $75 — $150 million and had an equity to assets ratio between 6.5% and 8.5%, transactions where the shareholders of the entity being acquired received all stock, and transactions in Tennessee since June 30, 2001. Median values for the 89 comparable group transactions expressed as multiples of book value and earnings were 1.96 and 22.92, respectively and median premiums on deposits and franchise premiums over core deposits were 21.66% and 13.94%, respectively. The following tables demonstrate the median multiples of book value and earnings as compared to the comparable group, as well as, acquisition pricing for the comparable group transactions’ median percentiles.

     Adjusted Net Asset Value Analysis: PBS reviewed the Community Bank of Smith County’s balance sheet data to determine the amount of material adjustments required to the stockholders’ equity of Community Bank of Smith County based on differences between the market value of Community Bank of Smith County’s assets and those assets’ value reflected on Community Bank of Smith County’s financial statements. PBS determined that one adjustment was warranted. PBS increased the Community Bank of Smith County’s equity by $2,601,000 to reflect an estimated increase in the value of the core deposits on Community Bank of Smith County’s books as of December 31, 2004. The aggregate adjusted net asset value of Community Bank of Smith County was determined to be $8,811,000 or $22.98 per Community Bank of Smith County common share.

     Discounted Earnings Analysis: A dividend discount analysis was performed by PBS pursuant to which a range of values of Community Bank of Smith County was determined by adding (i) the present value of estimated future dividend streams that Community Bank of Smith County could generate over a five-year period and (ii) the present value of the “terminal value” of Community Bank of Smith County’s earnings and equity at the end of the fifth year. The “terminal value” of the Community Bank of Smith County’s earnings and equity at the end of the five-year period was determined by applying a multiple of 1.96 times the projected terminal year’s equity. The 1.96 multiple represents the median price paid as a multiple of equity for all comparable group bank transactions effected since June 30, 2001 when Financial Accounting Statements 141 and 142 went into effect.

     Dividend streams and terminal values were discounted to present values using a discount rate of 13%. This rate reflects assumptions regarding the required rate of return of holders or buyers of Community Bank of Smith County’s common stock. The aggregate value of Community Bank of Smith County, determined by adding the present value of the total cash flows, was $11,974,000 or $31.23 per share. In addition, using the five-year projection as a base, a twenty-year projection was prepared assuming an annual growth rate in assets of 6.0% in years one through five and 4.0% in years six through twenty. Community Bank of Smith County’s return on assets was assumed to equal 1.30% in year one, 1.30% in year two and 1.35% in years three through five and then increase to 1.40% by year six and remain constant at this level for the remainder of the analysis. Dividends equal to 40.0% of net income were assumed to be paid in years one through five then were assumed to increase to 70.0% of net income in years six through twenty. This long-term projection resulted in an aggregate value of $9,063,000 or $23.64 per share of Community Bank of Smith County common stock.

     Pro Forma Merger Analysis: PBS compared the historical performance of Wilson Bank Holding Company to that of publicly traded regional bank holding companies as well as to Community Bank of Smith County. This analysis included, among other things, a comparison of profitability, asset quality and capital measures. In addition, the contribution of Community Bank of Smith County and Wilson Bank Holding Company to the income statement and balance sheet of the pro forma combined company was analyzed in relation to the pro forma ownership position of Community Bank of Smith County’s shareholders in the combined institution.

     The effect of the affiliation on the historical and pro forma financial data of Community Bank of Smith County was prepared and analyzed. Community Bank of Smith County’s historical financial data was compared to the pro forma combined historical and projected earnings, book value and dividends per share.

     The fairness opinion is directed only to the question of whether the consideration to be received by Community Bank of Smith County’s shareholders under the Agreement is fair and equitable from a financial perspective and does not constitute a recommendation to any Community Bank of Smith County shareholder to vote in favor of the affiliation. No limitations were imposed on PBS regarding the scope of its investigation or otherwise by Community Bank of Smith County.

     Based on the results of the various analyses described above, PBS concluded that the consideration to be received by Community Bank of Smith County’s shareholders under the merger agreement is fair and equitable from a financial perspective to the shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County.

     PBS will receive total fees of approximately $15,000 for all services performed in connection with the merger of Community Bank of Smith County with and into Wilson Bank and Trust. It will also be compensated for the services it performed in connection with the merger of DeKalb Community Bank with and into Wilson Bank and Trust. Community Bank of Smith County will be responsible for the payment of its fees to PBS, but will be reimbursed for these expenses by Wilson Bank and Trust. In addition, Community Bank of Smith County has agreed to indemnify PBS and its directors, officers and employees, from liability in connection with the transaction, and to hold PBS harmless from any losses, actions, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities related to any of PBS’ acts or decisions made in good faith and in the best interest of Community Bank of Smith County.

Merger Consideration

     Upon consummation of the merger, each outstanding share of Community Bank of Smith County common stock, other than those owned by Wilson Bank Holding Company and the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders who properly

28

perfect their dissenters’ rights, will be converted into the right to receive 1.0043 shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock. No fractional shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Instead Community Bank of Smith County shareholders will receive an amount of cash in lieu of a fraction of a share of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock equal to their fractional share amount multiplied by the last sale price of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock on the date closest to, but not after, the closing date for the merger.

Completion and Effectiveness of the Merger

     The merger will be completed as promptly as practicable after all of the conditions to completion of the merger are satisfied or waived, if permissible, including adoption of the merger agreement by the shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County and receipt of required regulatory approvals. The merger will become effective upon the filing of articles of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Tennessee.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company and Community Bank of Smith County intend to complete the merger as promptly as practicable after adoption of the merger agreement by Community Bank of Smith County’s shareholders at the special meeting and the satisfaction or waiver, if permissible, of certain conditions to completion of the merger. The parties expect to complete the merger in the first or second quarter of 2005; however, the merger is subject to the approval of the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

     Promptly after the effective time, Wilson Bank Holding Company, acting as exchange agent, will mail to the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders a letter of transmittal and instructions for exchanging their Community Bank of Smith County common stock for shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock. On surrender of their Community Bank of Smith County stock certificate together with a duly executed letter of transmittal, they will be entitled to receive shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock and any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares. The surrendered Community Bank of Smith County stock certificate shall be promptly canceled.

     Until surrendered in accordance with the previous paragraph, each Community Bank of Smith County stock certificate shall, following the effective time of the merger, represent only the right to receive the Wilson Bank Holding Company shares issuable upon surrender of such certificate and the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

     No Community Bank of Smith County shareholder will be entitled to exercise any rights as a shareholder of Wilson Bank Holding Company until the holder has properly surrendered his certificates(s) (together with all required documents) as set forth above. No dividend or other distribution payable after the effective time with respect to the Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock will be paid to a Community Bank of Smith County shareholder of any unsurrendered certificate until the holder thereof properly surrenders the certificate (together with all required documents), at which time the holder will receive all dividends and distributions, without interest, previously withheld from the holder.

     After the effective time, the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders will cease to be, and will have no rights as, shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County, other than to receive shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock into which the shares have been converted and the right to receive fractional share payments.

     If your stock certificates of Community Bank of Smith County have been lost, stolen or destroyed prior to the closing of the merger, Wilson Bank Holding Company may require you to make a proper affidavit of that fact and deliver an appropriate indemnity agreement to Wilson Bank Holding Company as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Wilson Bank Holding Company with respect to your certificates.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Merger

     Community Bank of Smith County’s directors and officers have interests in the merger as individuals in addition to, and that may be different from, your interests as shareholders. Community Bank of Smith County’s board of directors was aware of these interests of Community Bank of Smith County’s directors and executive officers and considered them in its decision to approve and adopt the merger agreement.

     Three of Community Bank of Smith County’s directors, Messrs. Bell, Clemons and Comer, are also members of the board of directors of Wilson Bank Holding Company. In addition, Mr. Clemons is the Chief Executive Officer and President of Wilson Bank Holding Company. Because of these relationships to Wilson Bank Holding Company, these three directors abstained from voting to approve and adopt the merger agreement.

29

     The members of the board of directors of Community Bank of Smith County that are not members of the board of directors of Wilson Bank and Trust, will become members of a community advisory board to the Community Bank of Smith County branches of Wilson Bank and Trust following consummation of the merger. These individuals are expected to provide advice and input to the Wilson Bank and Trust board of directors surrounding the operations of the Community Bank of Smith County branches as well as the financial services needs of the residents of DeKalb and Smith County and will be compensated for their service on this community advisory board.

     The executive officers of Community Bank of Smith County are expected to remain employed in their current positions with the combined bank following closing of the transaction. These executive officers will be compensated by Wilson Bank and Trust in their capacity as officers of the combined bank.

Regulatory Matters

     The acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Community Bank of Smith County by Wilson Bank Holding Company is subject to prior approval by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Bank Holding Company Act and Federal Reserve Regulation Y require the Federal Reserve Board, when approving the acquisition of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a bank by an existing bank holding company, to take into consideration (1) the financial and managerial resources (including the competence, experience, and integrity of officers, directors and principal shareholders); (2) future prospects of the existing and proposed institutions; and (3) the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. In considering financial resources and future prospects, the Federal Reserve Board will, among other things, evaluate the adequacy of the capital levels of the parties to a proposed transaction.

     The Bank Holding Company Act prohibits the Federal Reserve Board from approving an acquisition if (1) it would result in a monopoly or be in furtherance of any combination or conspiracy to monopolize or to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in any part of the United States; (2) its effect in any section of the country would be substantially to lessen competition or to tend to create a monopoly; or (3) it would in any other manner result in a restraint of trade, unless the Federal Reserve Board finds that the anti-competitive effects of a merger are clearly outweighed in the public interest by the probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience and needs of the communities to be served. In addition, under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended, the Federal Reserve Board must take into account the record of performance of the existing institutions in meeting the credit needs of the entire community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, served by such institutions.

     The merger of Community Bank of Smith County with and into the Wilson Bank and Trust, a Tennessee state nonmember bank, requires prior approval from the FDIC under the Bank Merger Act, and the approval of the Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions, pursuant to Part 13 of the Tennessee Banking Act.

     Applicable federal and Tennessee law provides for the publication of notice and public comment on applications or notices filed with the Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions and authorizes those agencies to permit interested parties to intervene in the proceedings. If an interested party is permitted to intervene, this intervention could delay the regulatory approvals required for consummation of the merger.

     Wilson Bank Holding Company made application to the Federal Reserve on January 28, 2005, the FDIC on January 27, 2005, and the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions on January 25, 2005 for the requisite approvals. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, none of the required approvals had been received.

     The merger generally may not be consummated until 30 days (which may be shortened to 15 days with the consent of the United States Department of Justice) following the date of Federal Reserve Board approval, during which time the United States Department of Justice may challenge the merger on antitrust grounds. The commencement of an antitrust action by the United States Department of Justice, if it occurred, would stay the effectiveness of the Federal Reserve Board’s approval unless a court specifically ordered otherwise.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

     The following summary discloses some of the federal income tax consequences of the merger. The summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, applicable Treasury regulations and administrative rulings and judicial authority as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. All of the foregoing are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and the change could affect the continuing validity of the discussion. The discussion assumes that Community Bank of Smith County shareholders hold their shares as capital assets. Further, the discussion does not address the tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular Community Bank of Smith County shareholder subject to special treatment under federal income tax laws, like dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, non-United States persons, tax-exempt organizations, or Community Bank of Smith County shareholders that hold Community Bank of Smith County common stock as part of a straddle or conversion transaction. The discussion does not address any consequences arising under the laws of any state, locality or foreign jurisdiction.

     Community Bank of Smith County shareholders will not recognize income, gain or loss upon the receipt of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock in exchange for their shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock pursuant to the merger. The aggregate tax basis of the shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock received by Community Bank of Smith County shareholders, including any fractional share of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock for which cash is received, will be the same as the tax basis of the shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock exchanged for the Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock. The holding period of the shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock received by Community Bank of Smith County shareholders will include the holding period of Community Bank of Smith

32

County common stock exchanged for the Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock. Cash received by a shareholder of Community Bank of Smith County in lieu of a fractional share of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock will be treated as received in exchange for the fractional interest, and gain or loss will be recognized in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and the portion of the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Community Bank of Smith County common stock allocated to such fractional share. This gain or loss generally will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shareholder holds his or her Community Bank of Smith County common stock as a capital asset at the effective time.

     The discussion above does not purport to be a complete analysis or discussion of all potential tax effects relevant to the merger. Thus, you are urged to consult your own tax advisors as to the specific tax consequences to you of the merger, including tax return reporting requirements, the applicability and the effect of federal, state, local and other applicable tax laws and the effect of any proposed changes in the tax laws.

Accounting Treatment

     The acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in Community Bank of Smith County will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting by Wilson Bank Holding Company as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Board Standard No. 141 (SFAS No. 141). Any intangibles resulting from the merger will be accounted for in subsequent years pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Intangible assets with a finite life will be amortized over their useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite lives such as goodwill are not subject to amortization; however, these intangibles must be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.

Dissenters’ Rights

     Under Tennessee law, if you do not vote in favor of the merger you have the right to seek an appraisal of the fair value of your Community Bank of Smith County common stock and receive a cash payment of such fair value. Community Bank of Smith County shareholders electing to exercise dissenters’ rights must comply with the provisions of Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act in order to perfect their rights. Community Bank of Smith County will require strict compliance with the statutory procedures. A copy of Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act is attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement.

     The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of the Tennessee statutory procedures required to be followed by a shareholder in order to dissent from the merger and perfect the shareholder’s appraisal rights. This summary, however, is not a complete statement of all applicable requirements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, the full text of which appears as Appendix B of this proxy statement.

     Holders of common stock who do not want to accept the merger consideration, who do not vote in favor of (or who abstain from voting on) the merger agreement, and who perfect their dissenters’ rights by complying with the provisions of Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, will have the right to receive cash payment for the “fair value” of their common stock.

     In order to be eligible to exercise the right to dissent, a shareholder must file with Community Bank of Smith County a written objection to the merger, stating that he intends to dissent if the merger is effected. Such statement must be filed before the vote is taken at the special meeting, and it must be addressed as follows: Community Bank of Smith County, 1300 Main Street North, Carthage, Tennessee 37030, Attention: J. Randall Clemons, Corporate Secretary. It is not necessary for a dissenting shareholder to vote against the merger to preserve dissenters’ rights; however, such rights will be lost if the shareholder votes in favor of the merger.

     If the merger is approved, Community Bank of Smith County will deliver a written notice to dissenting shareholders no later than ten days after approval of the merger, unless the merger is terminated and abandoned. The notice will set forth where the dissenting shareholders’ payment demands must be sent and where and when stock certificates must be deposited. The notice will also supply a form for dissenting shareholders to use in demanding payment. A dissenting shareholder must deliver his payment demand to Community Bank of Smith County no later than the date set forth in such notice, which may not be fewer than one nor more than two months after the written notice is delivered. Merely abstaining from or voting against the merger will not satisfy the two requirements that the shareholder (i) object in writing to the merger and (ii) file a written demand for payment within such two-month period. Failure of a shareholder to take the required action during the two-month period binds such shareholder to the terms of the merger and precludes exercise of dissenters’ rights.

     Within the two-month period, a dissenting shareholder must submit his stock certificates representing his shares of common stock to Community Bank of Smith County in accordance with the terms of notice of Community Bank of Smith County.

33

As soon as practicable after the merger is effected, or upon receipt of a dissenting shareholder’s payment demand, whichever is later, Community Bank of Smith County shall pay each dissenting shareholder the fair value of his shares, plus accrued interest.

     If a dissenting shareholder believes that the amount paid by Community Bank of Smith County is less than the fair value of the shares or that interest due was incorrectly calculated, the dissenting shareholder must, within one month after Community Bank of Smith County has made payment to the dissenting shareholder, demand payment of his estimate of the fair value. If a demand for payment remains unsettled, Community Bank of Smith County must commence a suit in a court having equity jurisdiction located in Smith County, Tennessee, within two months after receiving the dissenting shareholder’s payment demand. All dissenting shareholders will be made a party to the proceeding and will be served with a copy of the petition. The court shall determine the dissenting shareholder’s right to receive payment or the fair value of his shares or both. The costs and expenses of such proceedings shall be assessed against Community Bank of Smith County unless the court shall find the actions of a dissenting shareholder who is party to the suit to be arbitrary, vexatious or not in good faith. If Community Bank of Smith County fails to bring such a suit within such time, it shall pay each dissenting shareholder whose demand remains unsettled the amount demanded.

     Section 48-23-101 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act provides that the “fair value” of shares shall be determined immediately before the effectuation of the merger, “excluding any appreciation or depreciation of shares in anticipation of such corporate action.” The value so determined could be more or less than the value of the merger consideration into which shares of the common stock are to be converted pursuant to the merger. Any dissenting shareholder who perfects such holder’s rights to be paid the fair value of such holder’s shares will recognize taxable gain or loss upon receipt of cash for such shares for federal income tax purposes. See “ The Merger – Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences” on Page 32.

     Any shareholder contemplating the exercise of dissenters’ rights should carefully review Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B. A shareholder who fails to comply with all requirements of such Chapter 23 will forfeit such holder’s dissenters’ rights and, upon consummation of the merger, such holder’s shares of common stock will be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration to which such shareholder is entitled under the merger agreement.

     In view of the complexities of Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, the material provisions of which are briefly summarized above, shareholders of Community Bank of Smith County who consider pursuing dissenters’ rights are urged to consult with legal counsel.

     The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Chapter 23 of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, a copy of which is reprinted in full as Appendix B to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Restrictions on Ability to Sell Wilson Bank Holding Company Common Stock

     The shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock to be received by the Community Bank of Smith County shareholders in connection with the merger will be registered under the Securities Act and will be freely transferable, except for shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock issued to any person who is deemed to be an affiliate of either Community Bank of Smith County or Wilson Bank Holding Company at the time of the annual meeting. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates include individuals and entities that control, are controlled by or are under common control with either Community Bank of Smith County or Wilson Bank Holding Company and may include the executive officers and directors, as well as principal shareholders, of both companies. Affiliates may not sell their shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock acquired in connection with the merger except pursuant to:

     At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of Community Bank of Smith County common stock, other than shares owned by Wilson Bank Holding Company and shares owned by shareholders who properly perfect their dissenters’ rights, will be converted into the right to receive 1.0043 shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock. No fractional shares of Wilson Bank Holding Company common stock will be issued in connection with the merger. Instead, in lieu of any fractional share that Community Bank of Smith County shareholders would otherwise receive, Community Bank of Smith County shareholders will receive cash equal to your fractional share amount multiplied by the last sale price of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s common stock on the date closest to, but not after, the closing date of the merger.

Anti-Takeover Effect of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s Charter and Bylaw Provisions

     Wilson Bank Holding Company’s charter and bylaws contain provisions that could make it more difficult to consummate an acquisition of Wilson Bank Holding Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise.

     Board of Directors. Wilson Bank Holding Company’s bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be no fewer than five nor more than 15. The Wilson Bank Holding Company charter provides that the directors will be classified into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible with each class to serve for staggered three year terms. Under the Wilson Bank Holding Company bylaws, the shareholders may remove one or more directors with or without cause. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove him without cause. The Wilson Bank Holding Company bylaws provides that if so provided in the Wilson Bank Holding Company charter, any of the directors may be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire board of directors; however, such a method of removal is not provided for in the Wilson Bank Holding Company charter. A director may be removed by the shareholders or directors only at a meeting called for the purpose of removing him, and the meeting notice must state the purpose, or one of the purposes, of the meeting is the removal of directors. Directors may be removed without cause only by vote of a majority of the shareholders entitled to vote at a regular or special meeting. The Wilson Bank Holding Company charter provides that any vacancy on the board of directors, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy that results from the removal of a director with cause, may be filled only by the board of directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next annual meeting following his or her election to the board of directors at which time such person will be subject to election and classification. Under the Wilson Bank Holding Company bylaws, if the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the board of directors, they may fill such vacancies by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office.

     Charter Provisions. The Wilson Bank Holding Company charter provides that the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors shall be required to amend, alter, change or repeal, or to adopt any provision as part of the charter or as part of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s bylaws inconsistent with the purpose and intent of Article 8 of the charter, which creates staggered terms for the board of directors.

Tennessee’s Anti-takeover Provisions

     Provisions in Tennessee law could make it harder for someone to acquire Wilson Bank Holding Company through a tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.

     Tennessee Business Combination Act. The Tennessee Business Combination Act provides that a party owning shares equal to 10% or more of the voting power of any class or series of the then outstanding voting stock of a “resident domestic corporation” is an “interested shareholder.” An interested shareholder also includes a party that is an affiliate or associate, as defined in the Tennessee Business Combination Act, of a “resident domestic corporation.” Wilson Bank Holding Company is currently a resident domestic corporation within the meaning of this act. An interested shareholder cannot engage in a business combination with the resident domestic corporation unless the combination:

43

     These provisions apply unless one of the following exemptions is available:

Wilson Bank Holding Company has not adopted a charter amendment or bylaw to remove it from the Tennessee Business Combination Act.

     Tennessee Greenmail Act. The Tennessee Greenmail Act prohibits Wilson Bank Holding Company from purchasing or agreeing to purchase any of its securities, at a price higher than fair market value, from a holder of 3% or more of any class of its securities who has beneficially owned the securities for less than two years. Wilson Bank Holding Company can, however, make this purchase if the majority of the outstanding shares of each class of voting stock issued by it approves the purchase or if it makes an offer of at least equal value per share to all holders of shares of the same class of securities as those held by the prospective seller.

     Tennessee Control Share Acquisition Act. The Tennessee Control Share Acquisition Act strips a purchaser’s shares of voting rights any time an acquisition of shares in a Tennessee corporation which has elected to be covered by the Tennessee Control Share Acquisition Act (which Wilson Bank Holding Company at this time has not) brings the purchaser’s voting power to one-fifth, one-third or a majority of all voting power. The purchaser’s voting rights can be restored only by a majority vote of the other shareholders. The purchaser may demand a meeting of shareholders to conduct such a vote. The purchaser can demand a meeting for this purpose before acquiring shares in excess of the thresholds described above, which we refer to as a control share acquisition, only if it holds at least 10% of the outstanding shares and announces a good faith intention to make the acquisition of shares having voting power in excess of the thresholds stated above. If a target corporation so elects prior to the date on which a purchaser makes a control share acquisition, a target corporation may redeem the purchaser’s shares if the shares are not granted voting rights.

     The effect of these provisions may make a change of control of Wilson Bank Holding Company harder by delaying, deferring or preventing a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider to be in your best interest, including those attempts that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for Wilson Bank Holding Company’s shares. They may also promote the continuity of Wilson Bank Holding Company’s management by making it harder for you to remove or change the incumbent members of the board of directors.

     Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers. The Tennessee Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may indemnify any of its directors and officers against liability incurred in connection with a proceeding if:

44

     In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, however, the Tennessee Business Corporation Act provides that no indemnification may be made if the director or officer was adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In cases where the director or officer is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding instituted because of his or her status as an officer or director of a corporation, the Tennessee Business Corporation Act mandates that the corporation indemnify the director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding. The Tennessee Business Corporation Act also provides that in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to an officer or director, no indemnification may be made if the officer or director is adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tennessee Business Corporation Act provides that a court of competent jurisdiction, upon application, may order that an officer or director be indemnified for reasonable expenses if, in consideration of all relevant circumstances, the court determines that the individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, notwithstanding the fact that:

     Wilson Bank Holding Company’s charter provides that to the extent permitted by the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, the company may indemnify every officer, director or employee, his heirs, executors and administrators, against judgments resulting from the expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any action to which he may be made a party by reason of his being an officer, director or employee of the company, including any action based upon any alleged act or omission on his part as an officer, director or employee of the company, except in relation to matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in such action to be liable for negligence or misconduct. Under the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, this provision relieves Wilson Bank Holding Company’s directors from personal liability to it or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability arising from a judgment or other final adjudication establishing:
