MidSouth Bancorp (MSL) in Lafayette, La., will pay $2 million for rights it issued as part of last year's acquisition PSB Financial.

MidSouth will use cash on April 20 to pay former PSB shareholders for contingent-value rights they received, the $1.9 billion-asset company said Thursday.

The value of the rights had hinged on the performance of certain loans in a legacy portfolio of PSB's bank. The loans have been paid off in full, triggering the maximum payment under terms of the merger agreement.

MidSouth agreed to buy PSB last year for $39 million.
