Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 26, 2014, IBERIABANK Corporation (“IBKC”), the holding company for IBERIABANK, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Old Florida Bancshares, Inc. (“OFBS”), the holding company for Old Florida Bank and New Traditions Bank. Under the Merger Agreement, OFBS will merge with and into IBKC (the “Merger”) after which Old Florida Bank and New Traditions Bank will merge with and into IBERIABANK. Each outstanding share of OFBS’s common stock is to be converted into the right to receive 0.34 of a share of IBKC common stock at the effective time of the Merger (the “Exchange Ratio”), plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interest. The Exchange Ratio will be adjusted if the per share market price of IBKC common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market during the prescribed measurement period prior to the Merger falls below $57.31 or rises above $70.05, pursuant to the formula set forth in Merger Agreement. All outstanding OFBS convertible preferred stock will be converted into OFBS common stock on or prior to the Merger date. All unexercised OFBS stock options, whether or not vested, will be cashed out in connection with the transaction pursuant to the formula set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The directors and certain executive officers of OFBS have entered into support agreements concurrent with the execution of the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Support Agreements”). The Support Agreements provide that each director and certain executive officer of OFBS will vote his or her shares (other than shares held in a fiduciary capacity) in favor of approval of the Merger Agreement. The Support Agreements also restrict the transfer of the individual’s OFBS shares during the period between signing and the completion of the Merger.

The Merger Agreement contains usual and customary representations and warranties that IBKC and OFBS made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the contract between IBKC and OFBS, and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating its terms. Moreover, the representations and warranties are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to shareholders, and the representations and warranties may have been used to allocate risk between IBKC and OFBS rather than establishing matters as facts.

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The related press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of each of IBKC and OFBS. Subject to the required approval of OFBS’s shareholders, requisite regulatory approvals, the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by IBKC with respect to the stock to be issued in the transaction, and other customary closing conditions.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

IBKC has posted on the “Investor Relations” page of its internet website (www.iberiabank.com) supplemental information related to its proposed merger with OFBS. A copy of the supplemental information is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit. IBKC is not undertaking any obligation to update this presentation.

Caution About Forward-Looking Statements.

This Current Report contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In general, forward-looking statements usually use words such as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “estimate,” “predict,” “continue” and “potential” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, including statements related to the expected timing of the closing of the proposed merger, the expected returns and other benefits of the proposed mergers with OFBS and Florida Bank Group, Inc. to shareholders, expected improvement in operating efficiency resulting from proposed mergers, estimated expense reductions resulting from the transactions and the timing of achievement of such reductions, the impact on and timing of the recovery of the impact on tangible book value, and the effect of the mergers on IBKC’s capital ratios. Forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed; they are not guarantees of future performance. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that change over time and could cause actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the possibility that expected benefits may not materialize in the time frames expected or at all, or may be more costly to achieve; that the merger transactions may not be timely completed, if at all; that prior to completion of the merger transactions or thereafter, the parties’ respective businesses may not perform as expected due to transaction-related uncertainties or other factors; that the parties are unable to implement successful integration strategies; that the required regulatory, shareholder, or other closing conditions are not satisfied in a timely manner, or at all; reputational risks and the reaction of the parties’ customers to the merger transactions; diversion of management time to merger-related issues; and other factors and risk influences contained in the cautionary language included under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in IBKC’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, and other documents subsequently filed by IBKC with the SEC. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Neither IBKC nor OFBS undertakes any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. For any forward-looking statements made in this Current Report, the exhibits thereto or any related documents, IBKC and OFBS claim protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

This communication is being made in respect of the proposed merger transaction involving IBKC and OFBS. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval. In connection with the proposed merger, IBKC will file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a proxy statement/prospectus for the shareholders of OFBS. IBKC also plans to file other documents with the SEC regarding the proposed merger transaction with OFBS and the pending merger with Florida Bank Group, Inc. OFBS will mail the final proxy statement/prospectus to its shareholders. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS REGARDING THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION. The proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other filings containing information about IBKC and OFBS, will be available without charge, at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of the proxy statement/prospectus and the filings with the SEC that will be incorporated by reference in the proxy statement/prospectus can also be obtained, when available, without charge, from IBKC’s website (http://www.iberiabank.com).

IBKC and OFBS, and certain of their respective directors, executive officers and other members of management and employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of OFBS in respect of the proposed merger transaction. Information regarding the directors and executive officers of IBKC is set forth in the definitive proxy statement for IBKC’s 2014 annual meeting of shareholders, as filed with the SEC on April 7, 2014, and in Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed with the SEC by its

officers and directors. Information regarding the directors and executive officers of OFBS who may be deemed participants in the solicitation of the shareholders of OFBS in connection with the proposed transaction will be included in the proxy statement/prospectus for OFBS’s special meeting of shareholders, which will be filed by IBKC with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of such participants will be included in the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents regarding the proposed merger transaction filed with the SEC when they become available.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Louisiana Business Corporation Law (“BCL”), at the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), Company shall be merged with and into Purchaser (the “Merger”). Following the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Company shall cease, and Purchaser shall continue as the surviving corporation after the Merger. Simultaneously with the

execution and delivery of this Agreement, Old Florida Bank and New Traditions Bank, each a Florida-chartered member bank (the “Bank Subsidiaries”) will each enter into an agreement with IBERIABANK, a Louisiana-chartered commercial bank (the “Purchaser Bank”) pursuant to which Bank Subsidiaries will merge with and into Purchaser Bank (the “Bank Mergers”). Following the Bank Mergers, the separate existence of Bank Subsidiaries shall cease, and Purchaser Bank shall continue as the surviving corporation after the Bank Mergers. The parties intend that the Bank Mergers will become effective immediately following the Effective Time or at such other time as Purchaser shall determine in its sole discretion.

Section 1.2 Closing.

(a) The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place on a mutually agreed upon Business Day as soon as practicable after the date on which the last condition to Closing is satisfied. In no event shall the Closing occur after the first day of the calendar month following the month subsequent to the month in which occurred the later of (i) receipt of all Requisite Regulatory Approvals of the Merger and the expiration of all required waiting periods, or (ii) shareholder approval of this Agreement at the Company Shareholders Meeting to be held pursuant to Section 5.4(b) of this Agreement, or such other date as the parties hereto may mutually agree. If all conditions in Article VI hereof are satisfied, or waived by the party entitled to grant such waiver, at the Closing (i) the parties shall each provide to the others such proof of satisfaction of the conditions in Article VI as the party whose obligations are conditioned upon such satisfaction may reasonably request, (ii) the certificates, letters and opinions required by Article VI shall be delivered, (iii) the appropriate officers of the parties shall execute, deliver and acknowledge this Agreement, and (iv) the parties shall take such further action, including (without limitation) filing the Certificate of Merger, as are required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

(b) If on any date established for the Closing all conditions in Article VI hereof have not been satisfied or waived by each party entitled to grant such waiver, then either party, on one or more occasions, may declare a delay of the Closing of such duration, not exceeding ten (10) Business Days, as the declaring party shall select, but no such delay shall extend beyond the last date set forth in Section 7.1(b)(i) and no such delay shall interfere with the right of either party to declare a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i). The Closing shall take place telephonically, electronically or at the office of Purchaser set forth in Section 8.2.

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by taking the following actions:

(a) Company and Purchaser shall file a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Louisiana, executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the BCL, and, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, shall make any and all other filings or recordings required under the BCL.

(b) The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Louisiana, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Purchaser and Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

2

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the relevant provisions of the BCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company shall vest in Purchaser, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of Purchaser.

Section 1.5 Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) The articles of incorporation of Purchaser, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of Purchaser following the Merger until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law.

(b) The bylaws of Purchaser, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of Purchaser following the Merger until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law.

Section 1.6 Directors. The directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of Purchaser following the Merger until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

Section 1.7 Officers. The officers of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers following the Merger until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or approved and qualified.

Section 1.8 Reservation of Right to Change Structure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, before the Effective Time, Purchaser and Company may agree at any time to change the method of effecting the business combination contemplated by this Agreement if and to the extent that they mutually deem such a change to be desirable; provided, that (A) any such change shall not affect the United States federal income tax consequences of the Merger to holders of Company Common Stock, and (B) no such change shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the consideration to be issued to holders of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) impede or delay consummation of the Merger. In the event Purchaser and Company elect to make such a change, the parties agree to execute appropriate documents to effect the change.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF CONSTITUENT

CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Purchaser Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Capital Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding after, and shall be unaffected by, the Merger.

3

Section 2.2 Conversion of Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Company, Purchaser or the holders of any shares of capital stock of Company or Purchaser:

(a) Each share of Company Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, including shares of Company Common Stock to be issued on or before the Effective Time to the holders of Company Preferred Stock upon conversion (collectively, the “Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any Dissenting Company Shares (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.2(d)) shall thereupon be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive, subject to the other provisions of this Article II, 0.34 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Common Stock”), and subject to payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock as provided in Section 2.4.

(b) As used in this Agreement, the term “Measurement Price” means the arithmetic mean of the daily weighted average trading prices of Purchaser Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (as calculated by Bloomberg Screen AQR using reported trading prices between the hours of 9:30 AM Eastern Time and 4:00 PM Eastern Time) on each of the fifteen (15) trading days ending one (1) Business Day immediately prior to the day of the Effective Time. The Exchange Ratio is subject to possible further adjustment as set forth below:

(i) if the Measurement Price is greater than $70.05 per share, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to equal the quotient (to the nearest thousandth of a share) obtained by dividing $23.82 by the Measurement Price; or

(ii) if the Measurement Price is less than $57.31 per share, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to equal the quotient (to the nearest thousandth of a share) obtained by dividing $19.49 by the Measurement Price.

(c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each share of Company Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into one share of Company Common Stock for each share of Company Preferred Stock.

(d) Each share of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock (together, the “Company Capital Stock”) owned or held by Company or Purchaser or any of their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries at the Effective Time (other than shares held in trust accounts or otherwise held in a bona fide fiduciary or agency capacity that are beneficially owned by third parties not affiliated with Company or Purchaser and shares held, directly or indirectly, by Company or Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries and acquired upon exercise of rights in respect of debt arrangements previously made in good faith and in effect prior to the date hereof) shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(e) If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of Purchaser shall occur (or for which the relevant record date will occur) as a result of any reclassification,

4

recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or subdivision or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Exchange Ratio shall be equitably and proportionately adjusted, if necessary and without duplication, to reflect such change; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.2(e) shall be construed to permit Company or Purchaser to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Exchange and Payment for Company Capital Stock.

(a) At or promptly after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with an exchange agent designated by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Company (the “Exchange Agent”) evidence of shares in book-entry form (or stock certificates (a “Certificate”) at Purchaser’s option) representing the aggregate number of shares of Purchaser Capital Stock into which shares of Company Capital Stock have been converted in accordance with Section 2.2, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.4. In addition, Purchaser shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time at or after the Effective Time, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.5. All shares of Purchaser Capital Stock and dividends and distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments due pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.4 or 2.5, except as provided in this Agreement.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), Purchaser shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or deliver to each holder of record of (i) an outstanding Certificate or outstanding Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (“Company Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Company Shares”) which, in each case, were converted into the right to receive the Purchaser Common Stock with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.2, (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares held by such Person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Company Certificates to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Company Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, and shall contain such other provisions as Purchaser or the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares in exchange for the Purchaser Common Stock payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.2. Upon surrender of a Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Share to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Purchaser Common Stock for each share of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Share (subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax), and such Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Share shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any Purchaser Common Stock payable upon surrender of any Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Share. In the event that any Purchaser Common Stock is to be paid to a Person other

5

than the Person in whose name any Company Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Company Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, that the signatures on such Company Certificate or any related stock power shall be properly guaranteed and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Purchaser and the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3, each Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender or transfer, the Purchaser Common Stock, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.4, payable in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock theretofore represented by such Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Shares, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.2, without any interest thereon.

(c) All shares of Purchaser Capital Stock issued, including any cash paid in lieu of fractional shares, upon the surrender for exchange of Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares. At the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of Purchaser of the shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates are presented to Purchaser or the Exchange Agent for transfer or transfer is sought for Book-Entry Company Shares, such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Company Shares. To the extent permitted by Law, the former Company shareholders shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of Purchaser shareholders the number of whole shares of Purchaser Capital Stock into which their respective shares of Company Capital Stock are converted, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their Company Certificates for certificates representing Purchaser Capital Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2, but beginning 60 days after the Effective Time no such holder shall be entitled to vote on any matter until such holder surrenders such Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Shares for exchange as provided in this Section 2.3.

(d) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Purchaser; provided, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Purchaser Common Stock or any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable to holders of Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares entitled to receive such consideration, and Purchaser shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of Company Certificates and Book-Entry Company Shares in the amount of any such losses to the extent necessary for payment of the Purchaser Common Stock. Any interest or other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Purchaser or as directed by Purchaser.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund (and any income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares for nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be paid

6

to Purchaser or as directed by Purchaser, and any holders of Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Purchaser (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of the Purchaser Common Stock with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented by such Company Certificate or Book-Entry Company Share, in each case without interest thereon.

(f) None of Purchaser, Company, or the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any Person in respect of shares of Purchaser Capital Stock, any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, or any cash in lieu of fractional shares, in each case properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) If any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Purchaser or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Purchaser or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or Purchaser with respect to such Company Certificate, the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificate the Purchaser Common Stock payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) Each of Purchaser and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Purchaser or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any amounts that are so deducted and withheld shall be paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Purchaser or the Exchange Agent and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) each holder that is to receive a distribution pursuant to this Agreement will have the sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any such withholding Tax obligations imposed on Purchaser by any Governmental Entity on account of such distribution and (ii) no distribution will be made to or on behalf of such holder pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such holder has made arrangements satisfactory to the Purchaser and the Exchange Agent for the payment and satisfaction of such withholding Tax obligations.

Section 2.4 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, no fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock will be issued pursuant to the Merger. Instead, Purchaser will pay or cause to be paid to the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock that would, pursuant to this Article II, otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares of Purchaser Common Stock an amount in cash, rounded to the nearest cent and without interest, equal to the product of (x) the fraction of a share to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder at the Effective Time to be converted into Purchaser Common Stock) and (y) the Measurement Price.

7

Section 2.5 Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Purchaser Capital Stock issuable with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares until those Company Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares are surrendered as provided in this Article II. Upon surrender, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the shares of Purchaser Capital Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of surrender, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to those shares of Purchaser Capital Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of this surrender and not previously paid and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to those shares of Purchaser Capital Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

Section 2.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Sections 607.1301-607.1333 of the FBCA (“Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Purchaser Common Stock, unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such holder’s right to appraisal under the FBCA. If any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses any such right to appraisal, each such share of Company Common Stock of such holder shall thereupon be converted into and become exchangeable only for the right to receive, as of the later of the Effective Time and the time that such right to appraisal has been irrevocably lost, withdrawn or expired, the Purchaser Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.4. Company shall serve prompt notice to Purchaser of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands and any other instruments received by Company relating to rights to appraisal, and Purchaser shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, make any payment with respect to, settle or offer to settle, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Section 2.7 Treatment of Company Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Awards of Company.

(a) At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Old Florida Bancshares, Inc. 2009 Stock Option Plan, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each a “Company Stock Option”) shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into a cash payment by Company (subject to required tax withholdings) in an amount equal to (a) the difference between (i) the product of the Exchange Ratio (as may be adjusted) and the Measurement Price, and (ii) the exercise price per share (the “Option Payment”). Prior to the receipt of the Option Payment and at the Effective Time, each holder of a Company Stock Option shall execute a cancellation agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Company. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Company shall deliver the Option Payment to the holders of Company Stock Options. The Aggregate Option Payment equals the sum of all Option Payments to holders of Company Stock Options.

8

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Equity Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to effect the transactions described in this Section 2.7, including accrual of an amount in cash sufficient to effect the necessary cash payment.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, Company shall deliver all required notices (which notices shall have been approved by Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion) to each holder of Company Stock Options or Company Stock Awards setting forth each holder’s or participant’s rights pursuant to the applicable Company plan and stating that such Company Stock Options or Company Stock Awards shall be treated in the manner set forth in this Section 2.7.

(e) Each of Company and Purchaser acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if either Company or Purchaser fails promptly to pay any amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the non-paying party for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3, the non-paying party shall pay to other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3 from the date of termination of this Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on

65

behalf of such party. No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.

IBERIABANK Corporation Announces Agreement to Acquire

Old Florida Bancshares, Inc.

• IBERIABANK Corporation will enter Orlando, Florida

• Acquisition of a very healthy, C&I-focused bank

• Significant growth opportunities expected from the combination

• Accretive to EPS in 2016, 20%+ IRR and limited impact to tangible book value per share

LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA AND ORLANDO, FLORIDA — IBERIABANK Corporation (NASDAQ: IBKC) (“IBKC”), holding company of the 127-year-old IBERIABANK (www.iberiabank.com) and Old Florida Bancshares, Inc. (“Old Florida”), holding company of Old Florida Bank and New Traditions Bank (www.oldflorida.com) jointly announced today the signing of a definitive agreement for IBKC to acquire Old Florida via merger. The proposed merger of Old Florida with and into IBKC has been approved by the Board of Directors of each company and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals and the approval of Old Florida’s shareholders.

John O. Burden, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Florida, will be named Executive Vice President and Market President for IBERIABANK’s Central Florida franchise after the acquisition is consummated. John Burden commented, “We couldn’t be more excited about this combination and look forward to partnering with IBERIABANK. Old Florida and IBERIABANK share a similar approach to banking – one that is grounded in a fundamental belief that success is driven by people and relationships at the local level. Culturally, both companies emphasize and value mutual respect, collaboration and community involvement. This is how we built Old Florida and how IBERIABANK has been growing for over 127 years. This step is the perfect opportunity to take our business to the next level – benefiting our clients, team members and shareholders.”

Daryl G. Byrd, President and Chief Executive Officer of IBKC, added, “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to enter the Orlando market by joining forces with Randy and John Burden and their exceptional team at Old Florida Bancshares. With a population of over two million people, the Orlando market is dynamic and possesses a deep commercial and industrial client base that is particularly attractive to us. Old Florida’s focus on these types of commercial clients, combined with quality credit

underwriting and a strong core deposit base, provides an excellent fit with our unique culture and business model. We also believe Old Florida will complement our current southeast and southwest Florida franchises, along with our recently announced agreement to acquire Florida Bank Group, which has operations in Tampa, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, and Sarasota. Old Florida’s specialty niche businesses of SBA 504 lending and equipment financing provide interesting potential upside across our footprint as well.”

Under the terms of the merger agreement, shareholders of Old Florida will receive IBKC common stock. Old Florida common shares are assumed to total approximately 10,894,845 shares at closing, assuming approximately 10,562,259 common shares outstanding and approximately 332,586 common shares associated with the conversion of the convertible preferred stock into common shares.

• Stock Consideration. Each Old Florida common share will be exchanged for 0.34 share of IBKC common stock, subject to certain market price adjustments provided for in the merger agreement. Based on IBKC’s closing stock price on October 24, 2014, of $64.13 per share, the stock consideration would equate to $21.80 per Old Florida common share, or approximately $238 million.

• Unvested Stock Option Consideration. At September 30, 2014, Old Florida had approximately 2.1 million stock option shares outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $11.66 per share. These stock options are anticipated to be in-the-money at closing. The merger agreement provides that any Old Florida stock options that remain outstanding immediately prior to closing, whether or not vested, will be cashed out at consummation of the merger. Based on IBKC’s closing stock price on October 24, 2014, of $64.13, the cash value for optional shares would be $21.3 million. The cash value of the stock options and stock consideration would equate to aggregate consideration of approximately $259 million.

IBKC currently estimates annual pre-tax expense reductions associated with the transaction will be approximately 30% of Old Florida’s run-rate expenses in 2014. The expense savings are estimated to be fully achieved, on a run-rate basis, within six months of closing. Acquisition and conversion related costs (including lease termination costs) are estimated to be approximately $21.6 million on a pre-tax basis. The transaction is expected to be 2%-3% accretive to IBKC’s fully diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) in 2016 and 2017.

The transaction is expected to be neutral to IBKC’s capital ratios, and to be approximately 2% dilutive to tangible book value per share on a pro forma basis at closing. The tangible book value dilution is anticipated to be earned back in less than four years. The estimated internal rate of return for the transaction is expected to be greater than 20%, and, therefore, in excess of IBKC’s cost of capital.
