8.01. Other Events
On
June
7, 2007, representatives of Superior Bancorp will make a presentation at an
investor conference using slides containing the information attached to this
Form 8-K as Exhibit 99. We expect to use such slides, possibly with variations,

The
information contained in the slides is summary information that is intended
to
be considered in the context of our SEC filings and other public announcements
that we may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. We undertake
no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained
in
this report, although we may do to from time to time as our management believes
is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports
or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public
disclosure.
Additional
Information and Where to Find It
The
information contained in this Form 8-K may be deemed to be solicitation material
with respect to the proposed merger of People’s Community Bancshares, Inc. with
and into Superior Bancorp. Superior Bancorp has filed a registration statement
on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) containing a
proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed merger. The registration
statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 25, 2007, and the proxy
statement/prospectus has been mailed to the shareholders of People’s Community
Bancshares. Shareholders of People’s Community Bancshares are urged to read the
registration statement and the proxy statement/prospectus, as well as all other
relevant documents filed or to be filed with the SEC, because they contain
important information about the companies and the proposed transaction.
Investors
and security holders may also obtain free copies of the documents filed with
the
SEC (including any documents incorporated by reference) from the SEC’s website,
www.sec.gov.
Such
documents may also be obtained from Superior Bancorp by contacting Carol
Murcks,
Investor Relations, at (205) 488-3327, or from People’s Community Bancshares,
Inc. by contacting Neil D. McCurry, Jr., President and CEO, at (941) 365-5934.
Superior
Bancorp, People’s Community Bancshares and their respective directors and
executive officers may be deemed to participate in the solicitation of proxies
in respect of the proposed merger. Information regarding Superior Bancorp’s
directors and executive officers is available at
http://www.superiorbank.com/fs_investor_relations.html. Information regarding
People’s directors and executive officers is available from http://www.peoplescb.com.
Additional information regarding the interests of such directors and executive
officers is included or incorporated by reference in the proxy
statement/prospectus and the other relevant documents filed or to be filed
with
the SEC.
