Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee Benefit


          Plans.

First US Bancshares, Inc. (Nasdaq: FUSB) (the "Company") previously sent a notice to the participants in the First US Bancshares, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan") informing them that, due to a change in the trustee of the 401(k) Plan, there would be a "blackout period" applicable to the 401(k) Plan that would begin prior to the beginning of trading on December 2, 2021, and end following the closing of trading on December 13, 2021. During the blackout period, the participants would not have access to their accounts for distributions or investment changes, including investment changes involving the Company's common stock held in the 401(k) Plan. On December 1, 2021, the Company sent a notice (the "Original Notice") to its directors and officers informing them that they would be subject to significant restrictions on their ability to trade in the Company's common stock during the blackout period applicable to the 401(k) Plan. The Original Notice informed the directors and officers that, pursuant to Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC's rules promulgated thereunder, subject to certain exceptions, they were prohibited from purchasing or selling certain shares of the Company's common stock during the blackout period.

The transition to the new trustee of the 401(k) Plan occurred more quickly than expected, resulting in the blackout period ending earlier, following the closing of trading on December 9, 2021. Accordingly, on December 9, 2021, the Company sent an updated notice to the 401(k) Plan participants informing them of the earlier ending of the blackout period. Additionally, on December 9, 2021, the Company sent an updated notice (the "Updated Notice") to its directors and officers informing them that the blackout period had ended earlier than stated in the Original Notice.

A copy of the Updated Notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
