Section 8 - Other Events
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On April 25, 2006, the Board of Directors of CenterState Banks of Florida, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation which provides for (i) a division of the shares of Company Common Stock, pursuant to which Company shareholders will receive one share of Company Common Stock for each share of Common Stock owned on May 8, 2006, and (ii) an increase in the authorized shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 shares. The Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation will become effective at the close of business on May 8, 2006 (resulting in each of the Company’s outstanding shares at the close of business on that date being automatically divided into two fully paid shares of Common Stock, and the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock being increased to 40,000,000 shares). Accordingly, each holder of record of Common Stock at the close of business on May 8, 2006 will become the holder of one additional share of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held of record immediately prior thereto.
It is anticipated that certificates for the shares of Common Stock will be mailed to holders of record on or about May 22, 2006. The text of the Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
