ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Company”), the holding company for IBERIABANK and Pulaski Bank and Trust Company, has established a Delaware statutory subsidiary, IBERIABANK Statutory Trust V (the “Trust”), which completed the sale of $10,000,000 of trust floating rate capital securities on June 21, 2007. The Trust issued the trust floating rate capital securities at an annual rate equal to the three month LIBOR rate plus 1.435%. The Trust floating rate capital securities mature in 2037, and can be called without penalty beginning in 2012. The Trust simultaneously issued the Trust’s common securities to the Company for a purchase price of $310,000, which constitutes all of the issued and outstanding common securities of the Trust. The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the trust floating rate capital securities and common securities to purchase the Company’s floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures due 2037 (the “Debentures”). The net proceeds of the offering provide funding for the Company’s retirement of previously issued subordinated debentures in an equal amount.

The Debentures were issued pursuant to an Indenture entered into between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee, dated as of June 21, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1. The terms of the Debentures are substantially the same as the terms of the trust floating rate capital securities. The interest payments by the Company will be used by the Trust to pay the quarterly distributions to the holders of the trust floating rate capital securities. The Indenture permits the Company to redeem the Debentures after June 2012.

The terms of the trust floating rate capital securities are governed by an Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, dated as of June 21, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, between the Company, as sponsor, Wilmington Trust Company, as Delaware trustee, Wilmington Trust Company, as institutional trustee, and the administrators named therein.

Pursuant to a Guarantee Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2007, between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, the Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the trust floating rate capital securities. The obligations of the Company under the Guarantee Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, are subordinate to all of the Company’s senior debt.
