DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES
     Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-152913) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) to deregister shares of the Company’s common stock that were registered under the Registration Statement but were not sold under the Registration Statement by the selling shareholders named therein (the “Selling Shareholders”). The offering contemplated by the Registration Statement terminated by virtue of the expiration of the Company’s contractual obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
     The Company is seeking to deregister all shares that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof because its obligation to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to the terms of its registration rights agreement with the Selling Shareholders has terminated. Pursuant to the undertaking of the Company as required by Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister 994,300 shares, this being the aggregate number of the shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement which would have otherwise remained available for sale under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
