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

On October 29, 2019, Origin Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Origin Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Executive Supplemental Income Agreement (the “ESIP Agreement”) with Lance Hall, President of Origin Bank, and separate Endorsement Split Dollar Life Insurance Agreements (the “Split Dollar Agreements”), with each of Lance Hall and Drake Mills, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (collectively, the "Executives").

The ESIP Agreement provides Mr. Hall with supplemental benefits upon attainment of 60 year of age. Under the terms of the ESIP Agreement, Mr. Hall will be provided an annual amount (the "Age Benefit") equal to 10% of Mr. Hall's annualized base salary for the calendar year in which Mr. Hall reaches age 60. The annual payments will begin thirty days after Mr. Hall turns 60 and continue annually for six years. The benefit will vest based on the years of service of Mr. Hall before he reaches age 60.

The benefits will be reduced to the extent Mr. Hall has a separation from service before reaching age 60. In the event of a voluntary separation, a lump sum equal to the balance of the accrued vested benefit as of the effective date of Mr. Hall's separation from service will be payable to Mr. Hall. In the event of Mr. Hall's involuntary separation from service other than termination for cause or due to disability, 100% of the accrued liability determined as of the effective date of Mr. Hall's involuntary separation from service will be payable to Mr. Hall. In the event of a change of control followed by Mr. Hall's separation from service within 24 months, a lump sum equal to the present value of the age benefit (determined at the time of separation) will be payable to Mr. Hall. In the event of disability, 100% of the accrued liability determined as of the effective date of Mr. Hall's disability will be payable to Mr. Hall. In the event of Mr. Hall's death following his 60th birthday, the remaining installment payments of the Age Benefit, if any, will be payable to Mr. Hall's designated beneficiary. No death benefits are provided under the ESIP Agreement in the event that Mr. Hall's death occurs prior to reaching age 60.

The Split Dollar Agreements provide for the payment of proceeds to the Executives' respective designated beneficiaries under separate life insurance policies owned by the Bank upon the death of the applicable Executive and for the Bank to pay all of the premiums associated with such insurance policies. Pursuant to the terms of the Split Dollar Agreements, in the event of the death of an Executive while being employed by the Bank, his designated beneficiaries will be entitled to receive the lesser of (i) the present value of the benefit (a) Mr. Mills would have received under the Amended and Restated Executive Salary Continuation plan, dated May 1, 2008 and (b) Mr. Hall would have received under the ESIP Agreement or (ii) the proceeds from the Executives' respective life insurance policy, excluding the greater of the cash surrender value or the aggregate premiums paid by the Bank. The Bank will be entitled to the remainder of the proceeds under the policies. The Executives' respective beneficiaries will not be entitled to any payments under the Split Dollar Agreements if the Executives' employment is voluntarily or involuntarily terminated, or if the Executives were subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by a federal banking agency or the Executives' respective beneficiaries are denied coverage under the terms of the life insurance policies.

The foregoing descriptions of the ESIP Agreement and the Split Dollar Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the ESIP Agreement and Split Dollar Agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 respectively, and each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Article 2

Purpose

The purpose of this Agreement is to further the growth and development of the Bank by providing Executive with supplemental income, to encourage Executive’s productive efforts on behalf of the Bank and the Bank’s shareholders, and to align the interests of the Executive and those shareholders. The Bank promises to make certain payments to the Executive upon some qualifying event pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Article 3

Definitions and Construction

It is intended that this Agreement comply and be construed in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and the guidance and regulations issued thereunder. It is also intended that the Agreement be “unfunded” and maintained for a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Bank, for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and not be construed to provide income to the Executive under Code prior to actual receipt of benefits.

Where the following words and phrases appear in the Agreement, they shall have the respective meanings set forth below, unless their context clearly indicates to the contrary:

3.1 “Accrued Liability Balance” shall mean the amount accrued by the Bank to fund the future benefit expense associated with this Agreement. The Bank shall account for this benefit using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, regulatory accounting guidance of the Bank’s primary federal regulator, and other applicable accounting guidance. Accordingly, the Bank shall establish a liability account for the Executive into which appropriate accruals shall be made using a discount rate equal to four percent (4%).

3.2 “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Bank.

3.3 “Change in Control” shall mean a change in ownership or control of the Bank as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.409A-3(i)(5) or any subsequently applicable published authority or guidance.

3.4 “Disability” shall mean Executive, while actively employed by the Bank: (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of the Bank. Medical determination of Disability may be made by either the Social Security Administration or by the provider of an accident or health plan covering employees of the Bank, provided that the definition of Disability applied under such Disability insurance program complies with the requirements of Section 409A. Upon the request of the Agreement Administrator, the Executive must submit proof to the Agreement Administrator of Social Security Administration’s or the provider’s determination.

2

3.5 “Effective Date” shall mean October 29, 2019.

3.6 “Involuntary Separation from Service” shall mean the Bank’s termination of the Executive’s employment at any time before the Distribution Age, other than Termination for Cause, due to death or in connection with or following a Change in Control. A Separation from Service for “Good Reason” will also be treated as an Involuntary Separation from Service, provided such Separation from Service meets the necessary “safe harbor” conditions as set forth under Section 409A of the Code.

3.7 “Agreement Plan Year” shall mean each twelve (12) month periods commencing on January 1^st and ending on December 31^st. The initial Agreement Plan Year shall commence on the effective date of the Agreement and end on December 31^st.

3.8 “Present Value” shall mean the distribution amount under this Agreement discounted to present value using the four percent (4%) discount rate the Bank is using for accrual purposes.

3.9 “Separation from Service” shall mean that the Executive has retired or otherwise has a termination of employment with the Bank. For purposes of this Agreement, whether a termination of employment or service has occurred is determined based on whether the facts and circumstances indicate that the Bank and Executive reasonably anticipated that no further services would be performed after a certain date, or that the level of bona fide services the Executive would perform after such date (whether as an Executive or as an independent contractor) would permanently decrease to no more than twenty percent (20%) of the average level of bona fide services performed (whether as an Executive or an independent contractor) over the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period (or the full period of services to the Bank if the Executive has been providing services to the Bank less than 36 months). Facts and circumstances to be considered in making this determination include, but are not limited to, whether the Executive continues to be treated as an Executive for other purposes (such as continuation of salary and participation in Executive benefit programs), whether similarly situated service providers have been treated consistently, and whether the Executive is permitted, and realistically available, to perform services for other service recipients in the same line of business. An Executive will be presumed not to have separated from service where the level of bona fide services performed continues at a level that is fifty percent (50%) or more of the average level of service performed by the Executive during the immediately preceding thirty-six (36) month period. A Separation from Service will not be deemed to have occurred while the Executive is on military leave, sick leave, or other bona fide leave of absence, provided Executive has the right to reemployment under an applicable statute or by contract.

3.10 “Termination for Cause” or “Cause” shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement by and between the Bank and the Executive as in effect at the time of a determination of Termination for Cause, and if no such employment agreement shall be in place or in effect at such time, “Termination for Cause” or “Cause” shall mean the Executive’s Separation from Service for:

(a) Gross negligence or gross neglect of duties to the Bank; or

(b) Conviction of a felony or of a gross misdemeanor involving moral turpitude in connection with the Executive’s employment with the Bank; or

(c) Fraud, disloyalty, dishonesty or willful violation of any law or significant Bank policy committed in connection with the Executive's employment and resulting in a material adverse effect on the Bank.

3.11 ”Unforeseeable Emergency” shall mean a severe financial hardship to the Executive resulting from an illness or accident of the Executive, the Executive’s spouse, the Executive’s dependent loss of the Executive’s property due to casualty, other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Executive. The imminent foreclosure of or eviction from the service provider’s primary residence may constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. In addition, the need to pay for medical expenses, including non-refundable deductibles, as well as for the costs of prescription drug medication, may constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. Finally, the need to pay for the funeral expenses of a spouse or a dependent may also constitute an Unforeseeable Emergency. At all times this definition shall be construed in accordance with the definition under Section 409A. If the Executive seeks to terminate any current deferral elections or re-start the deferral election, it must be done in accordance with Section 409A.

3

3.12 “Vested Benefit” shall mean a percentage of the applicable Table B Benefit available prior to the Executive’s attainment of their Distribution Age, (as shown under “Amount of Benefit”) earned by the Executive, based on the following:

Total Years of Service	Vested Percentage
1	0%
2	0%
3	0%
4	0%
5	0%
6	20%
7	40%
8	60%
9	80%
10	100%

3.13 “Voluntary Separation from Service” shall mean the Executive voluntarily Separates from Service with the Bank prior to the Executive’s Distribution Age, other than due to death, in connection with or following a Change in Control, or following a written determination by the Bank that the Executive will be terminated for Cause.

3.14 “Year of Service” shall mean each fully completed consecutive 12-month period commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement during which the Executive is actively employed on a full-time basis with the Bank.

Article 4

Distributions During Lifetime

4.1 Hardship Distribution. The Bank will permit early withdrawals for an Unforeseeable Emergency under certain circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Executive. The Executive may submit an application for an in-service early withdrawal due to an Unforeseeable Emergency to the Board of Directors. If, in the discretion of the Board, the Executive is permitted to take an early withdrawal due to an Unforeseeable Emergency, the Board shall make a distribution to such Executive from the Vested Benefit of the Accrued Liability Balance determined as of the effective date of the Unforeseeable Emergency. Such distribution shall be paid in one (1) lump sum payment within thirty (30) days after the Board determines that the Executive is permitted to take an early withdrawal due to an Unforeseeable Emergency. The amount of such lump sum payment shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to meet the Executive’s requirements to the extent such emergency is not relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Executive’s assets, (to the extent the liquidation of such assets will not cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals, as applicable.

4.2 Restriction on Timing of Distributions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and solely to the extent necessary to avoid penalties under Section 409A, distributions under this Agreement may not commence earlier than six (6) months after a Separation from Service (as described under the “Separation from Service” provision herein) if, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the Executive hereto is considered a “Specified Employee” of a publicly-traded company. In the event a distribution is delayed pursuant to this Section, the originally scheduled distribution shall be delayed for six (6) months, and shall commence instead on the first day of the seventh month following Separation from Service. If payments are scheduled to be made in installments, the first six (6) months of installment payments shall be delayed, aggregated, and paid instead on the first day of the seventh month, after which all installment payments shall be made on their regular schedule. If payment is scheduled to be made in a lump sum, the lump sum payment shall be delayed for six (6) months and instead be made on the first day of the seventh month.

4.3 Distributions Upon Income Inclusion Under Section 409A of the Code. If any amount is required to be included in income by the Executive prior to receipt due to a failure of this Agreement to meet the requirements of

4

Code Section 409A, the Executive may petition the Agreement Administrator for a distribution of that portion of the amount the Bank has accrued with respect to the Bank’s obligations hereunder that is required to be included in the Executive’s income. Upon the grant of such petition, which grant shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Bank shall distribute to the Executive immediately available funds in an amount equal to the portion of the amount the Bank has accrued with respect to the Bank’s obligations hereunder required to be included in income as a result of the failure of this Agreement to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, within ninety (90) days of the date when the Executive’s petition is granted. Such a distribution shall effect and reduce the Executive’s benefits to be paid under this Agreement.

4.4 Change in Form or Timing of Distributions. Any change to the form or timing of distributions hereunder shall be considered made only when it becomes irrevocable under the terms of the Agreement. Any change will be considered irrevocable not later than thirty (30) days following acceptance of the change by the Agreement Administrator and must comply with the following rules:

(1) The change may not accelerate the time or schedule of any distribution, except as provided in Code Section 1.409A-3(j)(4);

(2) The subsequent deferral election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made;

(3) The payment (except in the case of death, Disability, or Unforeseeable Emergency) upon which the subsequent deferral election is made is deferred for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid; and

(4) In the case of a payment made at a specified time, the election must be made not less than twelve (12) months before the date the payment is scheduled to be paid.

Article 5

Beneficiary

5.1 Beneficiary. Executive shall have the right to name a beneficiary (“Beneficiary”) of the death benefit, if any, described in Article 1 herein. Executive shall have the right to name such Beneficiary at any time prior to Executive’s death and submit it to the Agreement Administrator (or Agreement Administrator’s representative) on the form provided. Once received and acknowledged by the Agreement Administrator, the form shall be effective. The Executive may change a Beneficiary designation at any time by submitting a new form to the Agreement Administrator. Any such change shall follow the same rules as for the original Beneficiary designation and shall automatically supersede the existing Beneficiary form on file with the Agreement Administrator.

5.2 Failure to Designate a Beneficiary. If Executive dies without a valid Beneficiary designation on file with the Agreement Administrator, the Executive’s surviving spouse, if any, shall become the designated Beneficiary. If Executive has no surviving spouse, death benefits shall be paid to the personal representative of Executive’s estate.

5.3 Facility of Distribution. If the Agreement Administrator determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be paid to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Agreement Administrator may direct distribution of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Agreement Administrator may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any distribution of a benefit shall be a distribution for the account of the Executive and the Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such distribution amount.

Article 6

General Limitations

6.1 Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if Executive’s Separation from Service with the Bank is considered a Termination for Cause.

5

6.2 Removal.Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Bank shall not distribute any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive is subject to a final removal or prohibition order issued by an appropriate federal banking agency pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

6.3 Suicide or Misstatement. The Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive commits suicide within three (3) years after the date of this Agreement. In addition, the Bank shall not pay any benefit under this Agreement if the Executive has made any material misstatement of fact on an employment application or resume provided to the Bank, or on any application for any benefits provided by the Bank to the Executive.

Article 7

Administration of Agreement

7.1 Agreement Administrator. The Bank shall be the Agreement Administrator, unless the Bank appoints a committee to be the Agreement Administrator. The Bank may appoint a Committee (“Committee”) of one or more individuals in the employment of Bank for the purpose of discharging the administrative responsibilities of the Bank under the Agreement. The Bank may remove a Committee member for any reason by giving such member ten (10) days’ written notice and may thereafter fill any vacancy thus created. The Committee shall represent the Bank in all matters concerning the administration of this Agreement; provided however, the final authority for all administrative and operational decisions relating to the Agreement remains with the Bank.

7.2 Authority of Agreement Administrator. The Agreement Administrator shall have full power and authority to adopt rules and regulations for the administration of the Agreement, provided they are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, and Section 409A of the Code, to interpret, alter, amend or revoke any rules and regulations so adopted, to enter into contracts on behalf of the Bank with respect to this Agreement, to make discretionary decisions under this Agreement, to demand satisfactory proof of the occurrence of any event that is a condition precedent to the commencement of any payment or discharge of any obligation under the Agreement, and to perform any and all administrative duties under this Agreement.

7.3 Recusal. An individual serving as Agreement Administrator may be eligible to participate in the Agreement, but such person shall not be entitled to participate in discretionary decisions under Article 7 relating to such person’s own interests in the Agreement.

7.4 Agents. In the administration of this Agreement, the Agreement Administrator may employ agents and delegate to them such administrative duties as it sees fit, (including acting through a duly appointed representative), and may from time to time consult with counsel who may be counsel to the Bank.

7.5 Binding Effect of Decisions. The decision or action of the Agreement Administrator with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation and application of the Agreement and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all persons having any interest in the Agreement.

The Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless any party contracted for the purposes of assisting the Agreement Administrator in performing its duties under this Agreement against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses or liabilities arising from any action or failure to act with respect to this Agreement, except in the case of willful misconduct by such contracted party.

7.7 Bank Information.

If the Executive, Beneficiary or his or her representative is denied all or a portion of an expected benefit for any reason and the Executive, Beneficiary or his or her representative desires to dispute the decision of the Administrator, he or she must file a written notification of his or her claim with the Administrator. The Agreement, being established as a “top-hat plan” within the meaning of DOL Reg. §2520.104-23, requires all claims for benefits hereunder be made pursuant to those claims procedure requirements under DOL Reg. §2560.503-1, as amended from time to time.

10.6 Unfunded Arrangement. The Executive is a general unsecured creditor of the Bank for the distribution of benefits under this Agreement. The benefits represent the mere promise by the Bank to distribute such benefits. The rights to benefits are not subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment, or garnishment by creditors. Any insurance on the Executive's life or other informal funding asset is a general asset of the Bank to which the Executive has no preferred or secured claim.

7.4 No Beneficiary Designation. If the Executive dies without a valid designation of beneficiary, or if all designated Beneficiaries predecease the Executive, then the Executive’s surviving spouse shall be the designated Beneficiary. If the Executive has no surviving spouse, the benefits shall be made payable to the personal representative of the Executive’s estate.

7.5 Facility of Payment. If the Bank determines in its discretion that a benefit is to be paid to a minor, to a person declared incompetent, or to a person incapable of handling the disposition of that person’s property, the Bank may direct payment of such benefit to the guardian, legal representative or person having the care or custody of such minor, incompetent person or incapable person. The Bank may require proof of incompetence, minority or guardianship as it may deem appropriate prior to distribution of the benefit. Any payment of a benefit shall

be a payment for the account of the Executive and the Executive’s Beneficiary, as the case may be, and shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Agreement for such payment amount.

Article 8

Assignment

The Executive may irrevocably assign without consideration all of the Executive’s Interest in this Agreement to any person, entity, or trust. In the event the Executive shall transfer all of the Executive’s Interest, then all of the Executive's Interest in this Agreement shall be vested in the Executive’s transferee, who shall be substituted as a party hereunder, and the Executive shall have no further interest in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any assignment made by the Executive under this Article 8, for the purpose of determining benefits payable under this Agreement, Executive’s employment status shall continue to control the terms of any vesting and/or forfeiture of benefits.
