SouthState Bank Corp 8-K

What Happened
SouthState Bank Corporation announced its financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025 in a press release dated January 22, 2026 and will discuss results on a conference call January 23, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. ET. The company’s Board on January 21, 2026 approved a new share repurchase authorization and declared a first-quarter 2026 cash dividend.

Key Details

• SouthState issued its results and related presentation (press release and slide deck filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) on January 22, 2026 and scheduled an earnings call for January 23, 2026 (9:00 a.m. ET; passcode 4200408; host Will Matthews, CFO).
• The Board approved a 2026 Repurchase Plan to buy up to 5,560,000 shares of common stock, replacing the prior authorization (which had 560,000 shares remaining); the plan runs through December 31, 2027 unless changed.
• Repurchases may be made in the open market, negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, or under Rule 10b5‑1 plans and will comply with Rule 10b‑18; there is no obligation to repurchase any shares.
• The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.60 per share, payable February 13, 2026 to shareholders of record as of February 6, 2026.

Why It Matters
The filing provides investors with the company’s latest earnings disclosure and an opportunity to hear management discuss results on the scheduled call. The new repurchase authorization (up to 5.56 million shares) could reduce share count over time if executed, potentially supporting earnings per share, while the $0.60 dividend is an immediate cash return to shareholders. Note the repurchase plan is discretionary and dependent on market, liquidity and other conditions.
