DeSimone Beth S

Beth S. DeSimone, Chief Risk Officer and General Counsel, has maintained a consistent pattern of insider transactions in SouthState Corporation (SSB) shares since early 2024, with a clear bias toward acquisition over disposition. Her 26 reported transactions—all within SSB—show $1.22 million in total buy value compared to $644,019 in sales, reflecting a net accumulation of shares. The activity follows a structured cadence: annual awards ("A" coded transactions) in January, such as the January 23, 2024, purchases totaling $331,982 ($132,825 and $199,156), followed by smaller February sales ("F" coded), including a $124,295 disposition on February 29, 2024. This rhythm repeated in 2025 and 2026, with January awards (e.g., $415,708 across two transactions on January 21, 2025) and subsequent February sales (e.g., $154,145 on February 26, 2025). Notably, DeSimone’s sales appear to be routine, likely tied to tax obligations or planned diversification, given their timing and consistency. The bulk of her holdings stem from equity awards, with no open-market purchases or discretionary sales evident in the filings. While her recent transactions (as of February 2026) show no buys or sells, the historical data underscores a long-term retention strategy, with net shares held increasing year-over-year. The absence of transactions outside SSB further highlights her concentrated position in the company’s equity. All activity aligns with standard executive compensation structures, with no atypical deviations in volume or timing.
