To The Shareholders of The New Iberia Bancorp, Inc.
Dear Shareholder:
A Shareholder dividend was declared by the Board of Directors of The New
Iberia Bancorp, Inc. at its meeting on Monday, March 6, 1995. The dividend is
$3.00 per share for the first quarter of 1995. As you remember, the Board of
Directors adopted a new dividend policy that authorized Bancorp to pay
quarterly dividends when so declared by the Board.
Dividends were declared based on first quarter earnings, which were as
projected. The $3.00 per share dividend for the first quarter is equal to the
dividend that was paid for the first six months in 1994. This is in keeping
with our budget projections.
As the Bank celebrates its 108th year of service, we are pleased with the
support we have received over the years from the community. As the last
surviving locally owned commercial bank, we continue to gain accounts from
people who value the advantages of dealing with an independently operated
institution.
We ask that you continue to support the Bank by your personal business and by
referrals of friends and business acquaintances. Thank you for your loyal
support.
Sincerely:
Ernest Freyou James W. Schwing, Sr.
President & CEO Chairman of the Board

Mrs. Dyane Nelson Person
130 Field Club Rd.
Pittsburgh, PA 15238
Dear Dyane:
As a current member of the board of directors of The New Iberia Bancorp Inc., I
would like to express some of my views for your consideration concerning the
annual shareholder's meeting and the choices presented to you as a shareholder.
Please consider voting to re-elect the current board members as requested on
the proxy card. After spending the past 13 years on the board, I can say with
confidence that these members are committed to running the bank efficiently,
while providing the shareholders with the options they deserve.
A plan to list the bank's stock on the American Stock Exchange to provide you
with access to liquidity and marketability has been established. If all is
successful, you would be able to trade your bank stock through a local dealer
by the middle of the summer.
I ask that you take a minute to look at this proposal, details of which are
included in the proxy statement. It is a reasonable and appropriate option to
the out right sale of the bank. If you have any questions concerning the
bank's proxy or the board's actions, I hope that you will contact me.
I hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. Thank you for
your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Gerald Halphen
Director
