INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

 

Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
On February 22, 2016, Kelly Barrett, a director of State Bank Financial Corporation (the “Company”) and State Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), notified the Company of her decision not to stand for reelection at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders and to resign from her position as a director of each of the Company and the Bank effective as of the date of that meeting. 

Ms. Barrett’s decision not to stand for reelection as a director of the Company and the Bank is due to her employer instituting a policy limiting the number of public company boards on which an employee may serve and did not arise or result from any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

The Company is grateful for Ms. Barrett’s more than four years of dedicated service to the Company and the Bank.
