Item 5.03.             Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 11, 2016, United Security Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its name to “First US Bancshares, Inc.” by filing a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.  The amendment was effected pursuant to Section 242 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which permits such amendments to be adopted by a corporation’s board of directors without stockholder approval.  The name change does not affect the rights of the Company’s security holders. There were no other changes to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation in connection with the amendment.

The Company also amended and restated its Bylaws solely to reflect the corporate name change and to consolidate a prior amendment to the Bylaws.  The amendment and restatement of the Bylaws, also effective as of October 11, 2016, do not affect the current rights of the Company’s security holders.

Effective October 11, 2016, the Company’s common stock, which trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market, will cease trading under the ticker symbol “USBI” and will commence trading under the new ticker symbol “FUSB”. Along with the ticker change, the Company’s common stock has also been assigned a new CUSIP number of 33744V 103.  Outstanding certificates for shares of the Company’s common stock will continue to be valid and need not be exchanged.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment and the Bylaws, as amended and restated, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment and the Bylaws, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.   

Item 8.01.             Other Events.

On October 10, 2016, the Company announced the name and ticker symbol change via a press release. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 9.01.             Financial Statements and Exhibits.
