HILL ROBERT R JR

Robert R. Hill Jr's 306 Form 4 transactions tell a two-company story defined by a directional reversal. The dominant chapter is SouthState Corp (SSB), the regional bank, where 245 transactions from 2003 to 2023 produced roughly 416,619 shares disposed against just 2,342 acquired -- the classic equity-monetization footprint of a long-tenured chief executive, the relationship ending in March 2023. The second chapter runs the other way. At Sonoco Products (SON), where he has been a director since 2020, the tally is net-acquisition: about 23,475 shares acquired against only 4,000 disposed. The accumulation is not only award-driven -- on 2025-04-30 the ledger records two open-market purchases (code P) of 2,475 and 3,000 shares near $40, personal-capital buys layered on top of the routine quarterly director grants (code A) that run through 2025 and into June 2026. The throughline is the contrast itself: a chief executive who steadily sold his own bank's stock over two decades, now a director accumulating shares -- via both grants and open-market buys -- at the board where he serves. It documents how the equity moved across both roles, not a view on either stock.
