EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K of First South Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 27, 2011. The sole purpose of this amendment is to disclose the Company’s determination with respect to the frequency of future non-binding stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation, also known as “say-on-pay” votes. No other changes have been made to the initial Form 8-K.

Item 5.07                      Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The annual meeting of stockholders of the Company was held on May 26, 2011. As previously disclosed, a majority of the votes cast were voted in favor of conducting say-on-pay votes once every three years. This result was consistent with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors. In consideration of the stockholder vote, the board of directors has determined that the Company will hold a say-on-pay vote once every three years until the next vote on the frequency of say-on-pay votes is required (which will be no later than the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders) or until the board determines that a different frequency for say-on-pay votes is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, the Company plans to hold the next say-on-pay vote at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders.
