EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 relates
to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 of First South Bancorp, Inc. (“
First South
”), a Virginia corporation
and the holding company for First South Bank, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “
SEC
”)
by NewSouth Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation and predecessor company to First South, on February 19, 1997 (Registration No.
333-122057) (the “
Registration Statement
”), registering 30,493 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share,
of NewSouth Bancorp, Inc. reserved for issuance and delivery under the Home Savings Bank, SSB Employees’ Savings and Profit
Sharing Plan and Trust. The Registration Statement also covered an indeterminate amount of interests available pursuant to the
Home Savings Bank, SSB Employees’ Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust.
On May 6, 1997, NewSouth Bancorp, Inc. filed
a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, removing from registration 5,548 shares of common stock of NewSouth
Bancorp, Inc. issuable to participants in the Home Savings Bank, SSB Employees’ Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust,
which had not been issued of the such date. Such shares of common stock were removed from registration as the Home Savings Bank,
SSB Employees’ Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust no longer permitted investment in the common stock at such date.
On June 9, 2017, First South entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “
Merger Agreement
”) with Carolina Financial Corporation
(“
Carolina Financial
”), a Delaware corporation and the holding company for CresCom Bank. Effective as of November
1, 2017, First South merged with and into Carolina Financial, with Carolina Financial as the surviving corporation, and First South
Bank, a North Carolina state-chartered bank, also merged with and into CresCom Bank, a South Carolina state-chartered bank, with
CresCom Bank surviving the merger and continuing its corporate existence.
In connection with the merger, First South
has terminated all offerings of its common stock pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking originally
made by NewSouth Bancorp, Inc. in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment,
any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, First South hereby removes
from registration any and all shares of common stock and interests originally reserved under the Home Savings Bank, SSB Employees’
Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust that are unsold as of the date hereof.

Amendment to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of
