INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT


Item 3.02.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
State Bank Financial Corporation is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to report the issuance of unregistered equity securities since the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 6, 2015, that, in the aggregate, exceed 1% of the number of shares of our outstanding common stock, which threshold was crossed on November 30, 2015.

From November 10, 2015 through December 1, 2015, as detailed in the table below, we issued an additional 1,276,028 shares of our common stock in cashless exchanges for warrants to purchase 2,246,523 shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, the holders of the warrants used the amounts by which 970,495 shares were deemed to be “in the money” as consideration for the $10.00 or $11.21 exercise price, as applicable, for the 1,276,028 shares we issued, and all of the warrants were canceled in the exchanges. The warrants were exercised by certain of our employees, executive officers and directors and were exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because we exchanged the shares with our existing security holders exclusively, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting the exchanges.

The following table provides the transaction date and details for the warrant exercises:
