Insights

Equity compensation analyst

Routine non-cash RSU vesting; minimal impact.

A SouthState Bank Corp director reported the vesting of time-based RSUs into 1,136 common shares at $0.00 on 11/01/2025. This is a standard equity compensation event converting previously granted awards into shares.

No sales are listed in the excerpt, and direct beneficial ownership is now 2,078 shares. This is administrative and typically does not change an investment thesis by itself.
