ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On May 24, 1996, ISB Financial Corporation (the "Company") entered
into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization ("Agreement") by and
among the Company, Iberia Savings Bank, a Louisiana-chartered savings bank and
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("ISB"), Jefferson Bancorp, Inc., a
Louisiana corporation ("Jefferson"), and Jefferson Federal Savings Bank, a
federally-chartered savings bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferson
("Jefferson Savings Bank"), which provides for the Company's acquisition of all
of the issued and outstanding common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Jefferson (the "Jefferson Common Stock"). Under the terms of the Agreement and
in accordance with a Plan of Merger (Exhibit A to the Agreement) by and between
ISB Acquisition Corp., a to-be-formed Louisiana corporation ("Interim") which
will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Jefferson, Interim shall
be merged with and into Jefferson (the "Merger") and Jefferson shall be the
surviving corporation. Simultaneously with or as soon as practicable after the
Merger, Jefferson, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, shall be
liquidated into the Company in accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Merger
and Liquidation (Exhibit B to the Agreement). Upon consummation of the Merger,
it is contemplated that Jefferson Savings Bank will continue to operate as a
separate banking subsidiary of the Company under the name "Jefferson Savings
Bank." It is further contemplated that Jefferson and Jefferson Savings Bank
will take all necessary steps in order that, immediately prior to the Merger,
Jefferson Savings Bank will convert from a federally-chartered savings bank to
a Louisiana-chartered savings bank.
Pursuant to the Agreement, upon the effective date of the Merger
("Effective Date"), each share of Jefferson Common Stock, other than those as
to which Jefferson stockholders properly perfect their dissenters' rights under
Louisiana law and shares held by the Company or ISB other than in a fiduciary
capacity, will be converted into the right to receive from the Company $23.00
in cash (the "Merger Consideration"). In addition, pursuant to the Agreement,
at or immediately prior to the Effective Date, each outstanding option to
purchase Jefferson Common Stock (other than pursuant to the Stock Option
Agreement by and between Jefferson and the Company dated March 29, 1996) issued
by Jefferson ("Jefferson Option") shall be cancelled, and each holder of any
such Jefferson Option, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be
entitled to receive from the Company at the Effective Date for each Jefferson
Option an amount determined by multiplying (i) the excess of the Merger
Consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of the stock option
by (ii) the number of shares of Jefferson Common Stock subject to such
Jefferson Option, subject to the execution by any such holder of instruments of
cancellation as the Company may reasonably deem appropriate.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to the prior receipt of all
necessary regulatory or governmental approvals and consents, the necessary
approval of stockholders of Jefferson at a special meeting to be called, and
certain closing conditions. The Agreement, including Exhibits A and B thereto,
is attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference and made
a part hereof to the same extent as if set forth herein in full. The above
summary does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Agreement and the exhibits thereto.
