Item 8.01. Other Events
On March 1, 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, at other investor presentations after that

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 so from time to time as our management
believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or

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 plans to file a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the proposed merger. That registration
statement will contain a proxy statement/prospectus to be distributed to the shareholders of
People’s Community Bancshares in connection with their vote on the proposed merger. SHAREHOLDERS OF
PEOPLE’S COMMUNITY BANCSHARES ARE URGED TO READ THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT
DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC, INCLUDING THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS THAT WILL BE PART OF THE
REGISTRATION STATEMENT, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED MERGER.
The proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to the shareholders of People’s Community
Bancshares. 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 Peoples 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 will be included in the
proxy statement/prospectus and the other relevant documents filed with the SEC when they become
available.
