ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
The Board of Directors of Southern First Bancshares,
Inc. (the “Company”) announced the authorization for the repurchase of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock,
or approximately 2%, under a share repurchase plan.
Under the repurchase plan, the Company may repurchase
shares from time to time by means of, among other means, open market purchases and in solicited and unsolicited privately negotiated transactions.
The actual means and timing of any purchases, quantity of purchased shares and prices will be, subject to certain limitations, at the
discretion of management and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, share
issuances under Company equity plans, general market and economic conditions, and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The Company’s management believes the repurchase
plan, depending upon market and business conditions, may, among other things, provide capital management opportunities for the Company.
The Company is not obligated to repurchase any such shares under the repurchase plan. The repurchase plan may be discontinued, suspended
or restarted at any time; however, repurchases under the share repurchase plan after August 23, 2027, would require additional Board of
Directors and Federal Reserve approval.
