Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2013 (the "Original 8-K"). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to supplement the disclosure in the Original 8-K to disclose the decision regarding how frequently the Company will conduct future non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

(d)            As previously reported, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 16, 2013 (the "Annual Meeting").  In the Original 8-K the Company reported the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting, including the approval by its stockholders, on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the Board of Directors' recommendation to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers every one year.

In light of stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers every one year, the Company's Board of Directors has determined to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers every one year, until the next required non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers. The Company is required to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding, advisory votes on the compensation of the Company's named executive officers no less frequently than every six years.
