Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
(e)           On May 22, 2014, the shareholders of First NBC Bank Holding Company (the “Company”) approved the First NBC Bank Holding Company 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Omnibus Plan”) at the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”).  The 2014 Omnibus Plan became effective on May 22, 2014 and will terminate ten years from the effective date, although the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, terminate the plan at any time.  The 2014 Omnibus Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards, and other stock-based awards.  Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2014 Omnibus Plan include the officers, key employees and non-employee directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, including First NBC Bank, except that incentive stock options may be granted only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The 2014 Omnibus Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company.  As of the date hereof, there have been no awards, and therefore no amounts are payable, under the 2014 Omnibus Plan to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or any named executive officer of the Company.
 
Attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 is the 2014 Omnibus Plan.  A brief description of the 2014 Omnibus Plan is included as part of Proposal 3 in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (“Proxy Statement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2014.  The descriptions of the 2014 Omnibus Plan contained herein and in the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 2014 Omnibus Plan.
 
Effective as of the close of business on May 22, 2014, and as part of the proposal to approve the 2014 Omnibus Plan described above, the Board of Directors terminated the First NBC Bank Holding Company Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, which was initially adopted in 2006 (the “2006 Plan”), with respect to new awards.  The 2006 Plan provided for the granting of stock options, shares of restricted stock and director stock grants.  Outstanding awards previously granted under the 2006 Plan will not be affected by termination of the 2006 Plan, the terms of which shall continue to govern such previously granted awards.
