SouthState Bank Corporation (NYSE: SSB) files a range of reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that document its financial condition, corporate actions and governance. This SEC filings page brings together those documents so investors can review how the company describes its commercial banking activities, capital position and risk factors.
Key filings include annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which provide audited and interim financial statements, segment information, loan and deposit data, capital ratios and detailed risk disclosures.

SouthState Corp (SSB) filed a Form 4 disclosing that director G. Stacy Smith purchased 2,500 common shares on 08/01/2025 at $92.30 each (transaction code P). The ~$231k buy lifts Smith’s direct holding to 39,546 shares, an increase of roughly 7 % from the prior level. No derivative positions or insider sales were reported, and the filing does not reference a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
Director buying can serve as a modest positive sentiment indicator, yet the dollar amount is immaterial relative to SouthState’s market capitalization and has no direct effect on earnings, capital ratios or strategy. The event is therefore best viewed as a limited confidence signal rather than a market-moving catalyst.

The RSUs were granted 31 Jul 2023 and vest annually in one-third increments; this filing covers the first tranche. No derivative positions remain and no open-market transactions occurred. The event is routine equity compensation and slightly boosts insider ownership, offering a modestly positive governance signal.

- Balance-sheet expansion: Total assets jumped 42% to $65.9 bn vs. $46.4 bn at 12/31/24, driven by a 40% surge in net loans to $46.6 bn and a 41% rise in deposits to $53.7 bn.
