The Ouachita Amendment, among other things, (a) extends the Ouachita Merger Agreement until June 30, 2015, (b) provides for the payment by the Company of minimum aggregate Merger consideration of approximately $107.5 million, (c) allows Ouachita to terminate the Ouachita Merger Agreement if the Average Closing Price (as defined in the Ouachita Merger Agreement) of the Company’s common stock is less than $18.43, (d) allows Ouachita to terminate the Ouachita Merger Agreement on or after February 28, 2015 if the Company does not have a Merger application on file with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Reserve Board, and (e) provides that, if the Ouachita Merger Agreement is terminated for certain reasons, including by reason of disapproval of the Merger by a governmental body, the Company must pay Ouachita termination fees and expenses of up to $1.0 million.

The CCC Amendment, among other things, (a) extends the CCC Merger Agreement until June 30, 2015, (b) provides for the payment by the Company of minimum aggregate Merger consideration of approximately $191.0 million, (c) allows CCC to terminate the CCC Merger Agreement if the Average Closing Price (as defined in the CCC Merger Agreement) of the Company’s common stock is less than $17.94, (d) allows CCC to terminate the CCC Merger Agreement on or after February 28, 2015 if the Company does not have a Merger application on file with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Federal Reserve Board and (e) provides that, if the CCC Merger Agreement is terminated for certain reasons, including by reason of disapproval of the Merger by a governmental body, the Company must pay CCC termination fees and expenses of up to $1.0 million.

The foregoing description of the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendments which are filed as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 99.1, respectively, with this Current Report on Form 8-K and which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

The Mergers have been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of all three companies, as applicable, and by the shareholders of Ouachita and CCC. The Mergers remain subject to required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions.

The Company has learned that federal bank regulators have identified concerns during the course of routine supervisory activities regarding the Company’s procedures, systems and processes related to certain of its compliance programs, including its Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money-laundering programs. In addition, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau currently is conducting a review of the Company’s fair lending practices.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be released from its obligations or any liability for fraud in respect, or breach, of this Agreement (nor may either party terminate this Agreement if it has committed such a breach) and the payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 9.4 shall be a cumulative remedy of the Company and not the exclusive remedy in the event of fraud in respect, or breach, of this Agreement by BancorpSouth.

This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related in any way to this Agreement and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereunder or related in any way to the foregoing, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal, substantive laws of Mississippi applicable to agreements entered into and to be performed solely within such state without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.

6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages or electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf)), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
