Ameris Bancorp
Ameris Bancorp is a registered legal entity registered in United States, and its current status with Georgia Secretary of State — Corporations Division is active. The company was incorporated on 18 December 1980 and lists its registered address as Atlanta, United States. 3 shareholders are on record for Ameris Bancorp, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Georgia Secretary of State — Corporations Division and was last updated on 22 September 2026.

Shareholders
3
Three shareholders are currently on record for Ameris Bancorp, reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing.
The largest of these is Vanguard Group Inc, holding 13.7% — the largest recorded stake — followed by Jennison Associates LLC at 3.4%; the remaining 1 shareholder shown holds smaller stakes.
Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.
| Shareholder | Type | Holding | Source Document |

Officers
5
The Vice Chairman & Ceo of Ameris Bancorp on record is H. PALMER PROCTOR JR.; 5 officers are shown here, filed with Georgia Secretary of State — Corporations Division.
The register reports 15 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at Ameris Bancorp sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.
The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Group Structure
Ameris Bancorp has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 48 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 1 jurisdiction. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 48 subsidiaries span United States jurisdiction, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Two of the 48 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
