What Happened Anne S. Ellefson, a director of Southern First Bancshares, was granted 310 restricted stock units (RSUs) on June 1, 2026. The Form 4 reports the acquisition as 310 shares at a $0.00 price (award/grant), i.e., a compensation award rather than an open-market purchase or sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-06-01; Form 4 filed: 2026-06-02 (timely filing).
• Transaction type/code: A — Award/Grant of 310 restricted stock units.
• Price reported: $0.00 (typical for RSU grants; not an open-market purchase).
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the provided filing details.
• Footnote: F1 — These RSUs will fully vest on June 1, 2027.

Context RSU grants are compensation awards that generally convert to shares if/when they vest; they do not indicate an immediate market purchase or sale. The reported $0.00 reflects that these were granted, not bought. For investors, such grants are routine executive/director compensation and not a direct signal of near-term buying or selling activity.
