ITEM 2.01			Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Effective as of August 1, 2022, Origin Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a Louisiana corporation and the registered bank holding company of Origin Bank, completed its previously announced acquisition of BT Holdings, Inc. (“BTH”), a Texas corporation and the registered bank holding company of BTH Bank, N.A (“BTH Bank”).

The acquisition was completed pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 23, 2022, by and between the Company and BTH (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, BTH was merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger (the “Merger”) and BTH Bank becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will issue up to 6,828,390 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of BTH as consideration for the exchange of their shares of BTH common stock, less any shares withheld from dissenting shareholders. In addition, upon consummation of the Merger all outstanding options to purchase BTH common stock were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 611,676 shares of Origin common stock.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 24, 2022 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2.03			Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

In connection with the Merger, on August 1, 2022, the Company assumed BTH’s obligations with respect to $7.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Fixed/Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Securities due 2037 issued to a subsidiary trust of BTH (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) under an indenture. The Trust Preferred Securities bear interest at 3-month LIBOR plus 164 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears, and are redeemable at the option of the Company on any interest payment date, subject to regulatory approval.

In connection with the Merger, on August 1, 2022, the Company also assumed BTH’s obligations with respect to certain subordinated promissory notes having an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $37.7 million as described further below (the “Subordinated Notes”). The Subordinated Notes are intended to qualify for Tier 2 capital treatment and are substantively identical in terms and conditions, including priority, except for the maturity dates and interest rates payable on the Subordinated Notes. After the five-year anniversary of issuance, the Company can be redeem the Subordinated Notes in part or in full at the Company’s discretion and, if applicable, subject to receipt of any required regulatory approvals. The Subordinated Notes are unsecured and rank senior to the Company’s common stock, any preferred stock that may be issued, and the Trust Preferred Securities.

ITEM 5.02			Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

The Merger Agreement provided that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) following the consummation of the Merger would be increased by two (2) positions, which would be filled by appointees designated by BTH and reasonably acceptable to Origin. As previously disclosed, BTH designated its President and Chief Executive Officer, Lori Sirman, and Executive Vice President, Jay Dyer, as its appointees. The appointments became effective at the time of the Merger. Ms. Sirman and Mr. Dyer were also appointed to the board of directors of Origin Bank at the time of the Merger. Neither director has been appointed to any Board committees at this time.

Each of Ms. Sirman and Mr. Dyer previously entered into an Employment Agreement with BTH, each of which has been assumed by the Company and Origin Bank with amendments.

Each Employment Agreement, as amended, provides that the executive shall be employed as an Executive Vice President of Origin Bank for a period of two years following consummation of the Merger, with automatically renewing one-year terms after that time. Ms. Sirman’s base annual salary will be $500,000 and Mr. Dyer’s base annual salary will be $400,000. Each will be eligible for incentive compensation and other benefits consistent with similarly-situated officers of Origin Bank. The Employment Agreements, as amended, contain certain restrictive covenants and provides for a lump sum change in control payment equal to the executive’s base salary if such executive is terminated within a year of a change of control, subject to certain exceptions.
