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

On May 21, 2020, CenterState Bank Corporation ("CenterState") held a special meeting of shareholders (the "special meeting") to consider certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 25, 2020 (the "merger agreement"), by and between CenterState and South State Corporation ("South State"), which provides, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, that CenterState will merge with and into South State (the "merger"), with South State as the surviving corporation.

As of April 14, 2020, the record date for the special meeting, there were 124,131,401 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of CenterState ("Common Stock") outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the special meeting. At the special meeting, a total of 88,869,741 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 71.59% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

At the special meeting, the following proposals were considered:



      1. a proposal to approve the merger agreement (the "CenterState merger
         proposal");


      2. a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the
         merger-related named executive officer compensation that will or may be
         paid to CenterState's named executive officers in connection with the
         merger (the "CenterState compensation proposal"); and


      3. a proposal to adjourn or postpone the special meeting, if necessary or
         appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if, immediately prior to such
         adjournment or postponement, there are not sufficient votes to approve
         the CenterState merger proposal or to ensure that any supplement or
         amendment to the joint proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to
         holders of CenterState common stock (the "CenterState adjournment
         proposal").

Each of the three proposals was approved by the requisite vote of CenterState's shareholders. The final voting results for each proposal are described below. For more information on each of these proposals, see the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by CenterState with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 20, 2020.
