| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On July 22, 2026, Five Star Bancorp (the “Company”),
a holding company that operates through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Five Star Bank (the “Bank”), entered into an
underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., as representative of the several
underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), to issue and sell 2,725,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $44.00 per share in an underwritten public offering
(the “Offering”). The offer and sale of shares of Common Stock in the Offering was registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-293089), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 9, 2026, and related
base prospectus, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated July 22, 2026. As part of the Offering, the Company granted
the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 408,750 shares of Common Stock at the public offering price, less underwriting
discounts and commissions.
After deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company expects the net proceeds of the Offering to be approximately $112.9
million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes and to support its continued growth,
including through investments in the Bank to pursue growth opportunities, and for working capital. The Offering is expected to close on
or about July 24, 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and agreements of the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the parties, including for liabilities
under the Act, and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were
made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may
be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Consequently, persons other than the parties to such agreement may not
rely upon the representations and warranties in the Underwriting Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of
the date of the Underwriting Agreement or as of any other date.
The Underwriting Agreement is not intended to provide
any other factual information about the Company. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting
Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
The legal opinion of Covington & Burling LLP relating
to the validity of the Common Stock is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1.
On July 22,
2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the launch of the Offering, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference. On July 22, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering, which is attached as
Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements represent plans,
estimates, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections, and statements of the Company’s beliefs concerning
future events, business plans, objectives, expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. Forward-looking
statements include, without limitation, statements regarding the expected use of proceeds of the offering, the Company’s expectation
of the completion and timing of the closing of the offering and the anticipated proceeds from the offering, as well as any statement that
may predict, forecast, indicate, or imply future results, performance, or achievements, and are typically identified with words such as
“may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “aim,” “intend,” “plan,” or words or phrases of similar
meaning. The Company cautions that the forward-looking statements are based largely on the Company’s expectations and are subject
to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond
the Company’s control. Such forward-looking statements are based on various assumptions (some of which may be beyond the Company’s
control) and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which change over time, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those currently anticipated. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the
Company to predict their occurrence or how they will affect the Company. If one or more of the factors affecting the Company’s forward-looking
information and statements proves incorrect, then the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially
from those expressed in, or implied by, forward-looking information and statements contained in this press release. Therefore, the Company
cautions you not to place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking information and statements. Important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2026, in each

The Company disclaims any duty to revise or update
the forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting the forward-looking
statements, except as specifically required by law.
