ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS (a) On October 18, 1996, ISB Financial Corporation (the "Company") consummated the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Jefferson Bancorp, Inc., a Louisiana corporation ("Jefferson"), pursuant to 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, Jefferson, and Jefferson Federal Savings Bank, a federally- chartered savings bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of Jefferson ("Jefferson Savings Bank"). The acquisition was effected by means of a merger of a newly formed interim subsidiary of the Company, ISB Acquisition Corp., with and into Jefferson (the "Merger"). Subsequent to the Merger, Jefferson, as the surviving corporation of the Merger, was merged with, and liquidated into, the Company. Immediately prior to the Merger, Jefferson Savings Bank converted from a federally-chartered savings bank to a Louisiana-chartered savings bank under the name "Jefferson Bank." Jefferson Bank continues to operate as a separate, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon consummation of the Merger, each share of Jefferson Common Stock was converted into the right to receive from the Company $23.00 in cash (the "Merger Consideration"). In addition, 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 was cancelled, and each holder of any such option, whether or not then vested or exercisable, became entitled to receive 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. The source of funds for the Merger Consideration will be the Company's working capital. (b) The physical property acquired in connection with the acquisition of Jefferson was used by Jefferson in the conduct of its business as a thrift holding company. The Company intends to continue such use. For additional information, reference is made to Item 7 below: ITEM 7.
