Coastal States Bank marked a significant milestone Jan. 7, 2026, ringing the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in celebration of the initial public offering (IPO) and official listing of its holding company, CoastalSouth Bancshares, Inc. (NYSE: COSO).

The opening bell was rung by the company’s Chairman Jim MacLeod and President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen R. Stone, who were joined on the podium by members of the bank’s board of directors and senior leadership team.

Officials said the Opening Bell ceremony reflects CSB’s transition to operating as part of a publicly traded organization, following the completion of CoastalSouth’s IPO in July of 2025.

“This represents an important chapter in our story,” said Stone. “Our IPO and listing on the NYSE have given us the resources we need to continue to build on our strong foundation, expand our impact in our communities, and serve our clients with the same relationship-driven approach that has defined who we are since our inception in 2004.”

CSB has a community banking presence in the Lowcountry of South Carolina (Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and Beaufort), Savannah and the Atlanta Metropolitan market.

At present, CSB has approximately $2.3 billion in total assets.
