 you must contact your broker, bank, or other nominee for instructions. Your broker, bank, or other nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker, bank, or other nominee as to how to vote your shares for you.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the broker, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, then such broker, bank, or other nominee may generally vote your shares at their discretion on “routine” matters, such as the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, but cannot vote on “non-routine” matters, such as the election of directors. If the broker, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the broker, bank, or other nominee may inform the Company that it does not have the authority to vote on the matter with respect to your shares, though your shares would still be considered present for quorum purposes. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Quorum

The annual meeting will be held only if there is a quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of Five Star Bancorp common stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum. If you return valid proxy instructions by submitting your proxy card pursuant to the instructions thereon or instructing your broker, bank, or other nominee as to how to vote your shares or attend the annual meeting, your shares will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum,

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting. “Plurality” means that the nominees receiving the largest number of votes cast will be elected up to the maximum number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting. The maximum number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting is 10. In the election of directors, abstentions, broker non-votes, and votes withheld are treated as present for quorum purposes only
