Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 8, 2025, First Community Corporation (the “Company”) became aware of recent media regarding a potential strategic transaction involving the Company and Signature Bank of Georgia.

The Company understands that Signature Bank of Georgia previously issued a press release in error. The two institutions have engaged in preliminary discussions regarding a potential strategic transaction. However, no definitive agreement has been entered into, and there can be no assurance that any agreement will be reached or that any transaction will ultimately occur.

The Company does not intend to comment further on these discussions unless and until a definitive agreement is executed.

The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. This information shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
