Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

CenterState Banks, Inc. (“CSFL”) is furnishing this Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with a presentation being made by management at the Gulf South Bank Conference on May 14, 2012 through May 16, 2012, and at the Wunderlich Securities Bank Forum on May 17, 2011. Attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibits 99.1 is the text of that presentation. This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The forward-looking statements in this presentation are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the following possibilities: (i) an inability of the Company to realize elements of its strategic plans for 2012 and beyond; (ii) increases in competitive pressure in the banking industry; (iii) general economic conditions, either nationally or regionally, that are less favorable than expected; (iv) changes in the interest rate environment which reduce margins; (v) management’s assumptions regarding allowance for loan losses may not be borne out by subsequent events; and (vi) changes which may occur in the regulatory environment. When used in this presentation, the words “believes,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,” “should,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” and “anticipates,” and similar expressions as they related to CSFL (including its subsidiaries) or its management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date they are made. CSFL does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.
