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 two Connecticut statutory subsidiaries, IBERIABANK Statutory Trust VI and IBERIABANK Statutory Trust VII (collectively, the “Trusts”), which completed the sale of $25,000,000 of capital securities on November 9, 2007. The Trusts issued the capital securities at an annual rate equal to the three month LIBOR rate plus 2.64%. The capital securities mature in 2037, and can be called without penalty beginning in 2012. The Trusts simultaneously issued the Trusts’ common securities to the Company for an aggregate purchase price of $775,000, which constitutes all of the issued and outstanding common securities of the Trusts. The Trusts used the proceeds from the sale of the capital securities and common securities to purchase the Company’s junior subordinated debt securities due 2037 (the “Debt Securities”).

The Debt Securities were issued pursuant to Indentures entered into between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, each dated as of November 9, 2007, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2. The terms of the Debt Securities are substantially the same as the terms of the capital securities. The interest payments by the Company will be used by the Trusts to pay the quarterly distributions to the holders of the capital securities. The Indentures permit the Company to redeem the Debt Securities after December 15, 2012.

The terms of the capital securities are governed by Amended and Restated Declarations of Trust, each dated as of November 9, 2007, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.3, between the Company, as sponsor, U.S. Bank National Association, as institutional trustee, and the administrators named therein.

Pursuant to Guarantee Agreements, each dated as of November 9, 2007, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, the Company has guaranteed the payment of distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the capital securities. The obligations of the Company under the Guarantee Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.4, are subordinate to all of the Company’s senior debt.
