Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans.

On September 24, 2018, Origin Bancorp, Inc. (“Origin” or the “Company”) delivered to its employees, including its executive officers and certain of its directors (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) a notice under Rule 104(b)(2)(i) of Regulation BTR (the "BTR Notice"), pursuant to which the Company imposed a “blackout” period in accordance with Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. The Company received notice of the Plan blackout required by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 on September 24, 2018, and provided the BTR Notice to the Covered Persons on the same day. The blackout period under the Origin Bancorp, Inc. Employee Retirement Plan (the “Plan) was imposed in connection with the change of the Plan’s recordkeeper from 401k Plus to Principal Financial Group. During the Blackout Period, Plan participants were unable to borrow or take distributions from their Plan accounts, or direct or diversify their Plan investments, including with respect to Origin common stock.
The blackout period began on Thursday, October 25, 2018 at 4:00 pm ET, and ended on December 18, 2018. A copy of the BTR Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
