Item
      3.  Incorporation of
      Documents by Reference
The
      following documents, which have been filed by MidSouth Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are
      incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
The
                Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
                31, 2006.
(b)
The
                Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
                2007.
(c)
The
                description of the Common Stock set forth in Item 1 of the Company's
                Registration Statement on Form 8-A dated July 24,
                1995.
All
      reports filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a),
      13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 subsequent to the
      date
      of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective
      amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold shall
      be
      deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to
      be
      part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.
Item
      4.  Description of Securities
Not
      applicable.
Item
      5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not
      applicable.
Item
      6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section
      83 of the Louisiana Business
      Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers
      against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
      in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any
      proceeding to which he is, was, or is threatened to be made, a party if it
      arises out of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
      of the corporation, but no corporation may indemnify any person for willful
      or
      intentional misconduct.  Section 10 of the Company's bylaws provides
      for mandatory indemnification for current and former directors and officers
      and
      the Company's Articles of Incorporation permit the Company to enter into
      contracts with its directors and officers providing for indemnification to
      the
      fullest extent permitted by law, although no such contracts have been entered
      into.
Insofar
      as indemnification for
      liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
      directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the
      foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the
      opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
      expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is therefore
      unenforceable.
Item
      7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not
      applicable.

Item
      9.  Undertakings
(a)           The
      undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)           To
      file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
      post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
      information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
      in
      the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
      registration statement.
(2)           That,
      for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
      each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
      statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
      securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
      thereof.
(3)           To
      remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
      securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
      offering.
(b)           The
      undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
      any
      liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
      annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities
      Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration
      statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
      securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
      shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)           Insofar
      as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
      may
      be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
      pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 or otherwise, the registrant
      has
      been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
      such
      indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
      therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
      indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
      registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
      person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
      proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
      connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
      in
      the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
      submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
      indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
      will
      be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
      to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies
      that
