 THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS 
 (PROPOSAL TWO)                                   |

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, our shareholders have the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers disclosed in the proxy statement. The executive officers named in the summary compensation table and deemed to be “named executive officers” are John W. Bordelon, Darren E. Guidry, Mark C. Herpin, David T. Kirkley, Natalie B. Lemoine and John J. Zollinger, IV. Reference is made to the summary compensation table and disclosures set forth under “Management Compensation” in this proxy statement. The proposal gives shareholders the ability to vote on the compensation of our named executive officers through the following resolution: “Resolved, that the shareholders approve the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.” The shareholder vote on this proposal is not binding on the Company or the board of directors and cannot be construed as overruling any decision made by the board of directors. However, the board of directors of the Company will review the voting results on the non-binding resolution and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation. The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the non-binding resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. 38
