Item 8.01. Other Events
On April 4, 2011, MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (“MidSouth”) (NYSE Amex: MSL), announced today that its subsidiary, MidSouth Bank, N.A., has entered into an agreement with Jefferson Bank and First Bank & Trust Company (“First Bank”) to acquire five Jefferson Bank branches located in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area. As part of the branch acquisition, MidSouth expects to acquire approximately $70 million in loans and to assume over $150 million in deposits.
The branches will be acquired from First Bank following its proposed acquisition of Jefferson Bank through an announced Rule 363 sale in connection with the bankruptcy filing by the parent holding company of Jefferson Bank. As a result, the acquisition of the branches by MidSouth will be subject to approval by the bankruptcy court. The branch acquisition is subject to a number of other conditions, including regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. MidSouth anticipates that the acquisition will be completed before July 31, 2011.
