Item 8.01.

Other Events

On April 29, 2010, IBERIABANK, the commercial bank subsidiary of IBERIABANK Corporation, prepaid $168.4 million of fixed rate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta at a pre-tax cost of approximately $329,000. These borrowings had an approximate remaining term of three years ending in May 2013. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta borrowings were paid with available cash and were not replaced with new borrowings.

This prepayment is expected to decrease monthly borrowing expense by approximately $280,000 and add approximately 4 basis points to net interest margin. In addition, this action is expected to increase earnings per share by $0.07 on an annualized basis. The Company determined that the borrowing prepayment was advisable in consideration of current interest rates and available liquidity. The intended future benefit of this prepayment is improvement in earnings per share due to a decrease in future borrowing expense.

IBERIABANK Corporation is a multi-bank financial holding company headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana. The Company has 210 combined offices, including 136 bank branch offices in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, and Florida, 26 title insurance offices in Arkansas and Louisiana, and mortgage representatives in 48 locations in 12 states.
