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 383,650 shares, or approximately 5%, of the Company’s common stock
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 program after December 31, 2020 would require additional
Board of Directors and Federal Reserve approval.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
