shareholders, employees and clients. 

Dear Clients and Shareholders: 

We are very pleased to share Five Star Bancorp’s 2021 
Annual Report – our frst report as a public company! 
While we all experienced challenges, 2021 was also a remarkable year of growth, renewed purpose 
and commitment to our shareholders, employees, clients and the communities we serve. Every day, we 
worked as a team toward common goals while individual talents contributed to shared wins. Yet, it is how 
we succeeded that shaped and defned us. Most banks ofer similar, if not the same, products. However, 
it has been said it is not what you do, but how you do it. No other bank has our engaged team, our speed 
to serve or our certainty of execution. No other bank has our commitment to treating clients with an 
empathetic spirit, understanding and care.  We are proud to have earned the trust of those we serve.

A History of Organic Growth 
Five Star Bancorp was founded in 1999 by a group of local entrepreneurs who wanted to create the kind 
of personalized banking services they desired themselves – services provided by industry experts who are 
committed to partnerships grounded in shared vision and goals. Today, Five Star Bancorp is a community 
business bank guided by purpose-driven banking, community stewardship, regional and industry 
expertise and a commitment to economic development. In May 2021, the Company completed its initial 
public ofering. Prior to this achievement, and for over twenty years, the Company focused on organic 
growth by strategically and thoughtfully expanding its reach in Northern California (and beyond) and by 
developing its team, business verticals, internal processes, community partnerships and brand. 

Today, the Company provides a broad range of banking products and services to small and medium-sized 
businesses, professionals and individuals primarily in Northern California through seven branch ofces, two 
loan production ofces and the internet with our mobile banking application. Our primary loan products 
are commercial real estate loans, commercial loans, commercial land and construction loans and farmland 
loans. Our principal geographic market is the Roseville/Sacramento/Rancho Cordova/Elk Grove area 
(Greater Sacramento Area). The Greater Sacramento Area has a proftable and productive economy driven 
by the governmental, education, technology, healthcare, agricultural and manufacturing sectors. Since 
2016, our market share of the total deposits in the Greater Sacramento Area has increased signifcantly, 
according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Deposit Market Share Reports. We believe 
our market growth confrms the quality of the purpose-driven and integrity-centered banking we strive 
to deliver to clients. Our mission is to become the top business bank in the markets we serve through 
exceptional service, deep connectivity and client empathy.

A Year of Service & Recognition 
In 2021, we added to our board of directors, signifcantly expanded our team, adopted new technology, 
expanded our verticals, deepened our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives and 
created robust internal training programs. We also established an investor relations function, introduced 
and expanded new product oferings and created a department to manage energy efciency loans – all 
while adhering to COVID-19 protocols and maintaining a deep sense of purpose. The strength of our team 
also brought Five Star Bancorp a tremendous amount of recognition and awards including placement 
on the Sacramento Business Journal’s Best Places to Work and Fastest Growing Companies lists, a Comstock’s Magazine Woman in 
Leadership recognition, a Vistage Leadership Award, the Sacramento Asian Pacifc Chamber of Commerce’s Corporate Steward of 
the Year Award and the Sacramento Business Journal’s Corporate Champion of the Year. These awards are attributable to our highly 
engaged, motivated and committed team of employees.

A Culture of Engagement & Belonging | Diversity, Equity & Inclusion 
We facilitate talent attraction and retention through an inclusive, safe and healthy workplace where employees have 
opportunities to grow and develop their careers. They are also supported by strong compensation, benefts and health 
and welfare programs. As of December 31, 2021, we had 163 full-time and fve part-time employees. In addition to 
salaries, we ofer annual bonus opportunities, a 401(k) plan with an employer matching contribution, healthcare and 
insurance benefts, fexible spending accounts, paid time of, family leave and an employee assistance program. We 
invest in the growth and development of our employees by providing a multi-dimensional approach to learning that 
empowers, intellectually grows and professionally develops our employees through support to attend conferences and 
obtain degrees, licenses and certifcations. This support has resulted in a highly educated and exceptionally engaged 
workforce. 

Further, DE&I initiatives and programs are foundational to our core business model as we seek to ensure forward-
thinking principles permeate workforce development as well as relationships with community partners and clients. 
We understand and appreciate the complexity and importance of the inclusion of a full range of identity groups, from 
ethnicity and nationality to age, gender, religious commitment, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation and those 
with disabilities. We also recognize DE&I initiatives build trust which afects fnancial ecosystems and drives companies’ 
bottom lines.   

Banking can often leave clients feeling vulnerable and exposed as they reveal details of their fnancial history. There is a 
vulnerability that can be difcult to overcome if trust has not been created – and trust is often more easily established 
between those with shared experiences. We believe embracing and understanding this reality through a diverse workforce 
creates opportunity not only from a business perspective but also opportunity to profoundly help those from diverse 
communities. We believe a successful program will ultimately beneft both the Company and those the Company serves. 

Environmental, Social & Governance 
Five Star Bancorp has taken a proactive approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives and believes 
our ability to manage ESG demonstrates strength in leadership and governance that are essential to sustainable growth. 
We are executing ESG strategies that will drive positive change while focusing on the impacts of our business, social 
factors in the communities we serve and the governance of our board of directors. As stewards of our environment, we 
also support clients focused on sustainable energy and environmental impact, from afordable energy to climate action. 
We believe social impact is inherent in banking and we work with clients and partners committed to the same values. 
We also support clients who provide innovative environmental solutions and restore life and vitality to areas devastated 
by catastrophic events. 

We are proud to be a partner to energy efciency and sustainability-focused organizations including those who provide 
energy efciency loan programs. In 2021, the Company was selected to work with a local utility district on a new energy 
efciency loan program that allows for the community to “go green” and bring energy efcient devices into their homes. 
Beginning in June 2021, we onboarded over 2,000 loans in this micro-loan program which funded residential energy 
efciency equipment. 

We have reduced our own carbon footprint by utilizing e-signature to conduct business to reduce paper consumption 
and reducing in-ofce occupation, where possible. 

Exceptional Credit Quality 
Exceptional asset quality has consistently been our focus. We have well-established loan policies and underwriting 
practices that have resulted in very low levels of charge-ofs and nonperforming assets. Additionally, we have a multi-
faceted loan monitoring framework established to regularly evaluate our asset quality after the origination process. Our 
2021 results are a testament to the strength of our loan portfolio. The ratio of nonperforming loans to period end loans 
was three basis points as of December 31, 2021, representing no change from the prior year. Our allowance for loan 
losses increased slightly from 2020, as general economic conditions improved from the previous year, albeit at a pace 
slower than expected due to unforeseen disruptions in the supply chain and increasing energy prices. Looking ahead to 
2022, and as economic conditions continue to improve, asset quality remains at the forefront of our objectives.

We have paid cash dividends on our common stock in every quarter since January 2002, 
with the exception of the third and fourth quarters of 2009 and all quarters of 2010. It is 
currently the intention of the board of directors to continue payment of cash dividends 
on a quarterly basis. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we paid approximately 
$51.9 million in dividends. This included a $27.0 million cash distribution to shareholders 
of record as of May 3, 2021, for the payout of the Accumulated Adjustments Account 
(AAA), which was described in further detail in our Registration Statement on Form S-1. 

2021 Results 
Results for 2021 refect the continuation of our organic growth story and 2021 was our

of $603.0 million, or 30.9%, from the prior year. Net income increased from the prior year 
by approximately 18.1% to $42.4 million, which included the impact of increased taxes

respectively. 

Total loans, net, were $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2021. Loan originations, net

million, or 28.1%, during 2021, and we ended the year with a 39.5% ratio of non-interest-
bearing deposits to total deposits.  

Information Technology Investments 
In 2021, we continued to make signifcant investments in our information technology 
systems and staf for our banking and lending operations and treasury management 
activities. We believe this investment will support our continued growth and enable us 
to enhance our capabilities to ofer new products, improve the overall client experience, 
improve proftability through efciencies and provide scale for future growth. We 
utilize nationally recognized software vendors, using their cloud/hosted models, which 
allows us to outsource the processing of our data which provides greater scalability and 
disruption avoidance. 

Community Engagement & Investment 
In 2021, Five Star Bancorp was an engaged member of 16 Chambers of Commerce. 
Among other initiatives, we were committed to supporting educational programs, 
wildfre relief eforts, afordable housing, and clients and community partners who 
continued to experience the impacts of COVID-19. We were also committed to a robust 
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Program. You will read more about these eforts in 
this report. We stand on a sturdy foundation of what we have built together so that we 
may encourage, support and strengthen those who need us most.

and improve efciency. 

Manufactured Housing, RV & Self Storage 
Five Star Bancorp is widely regarded as a leader in manufactured housing lending, providing fnancial tools to the 
manufactured housing community (MHC) and RV park owners and operators nationwide. We fnance the land, not

opportunity for home ownership for many while also serving as critical workforce housing.

As community stewards with extensive experience working with non-profts, we know cost-efective banking services

manages loans from our own originations and works with several wholesale partners. 

Venture Banking, Technology & Start-Up 
Entrepreneurs need a partner who understands their industry, business model, investment requirements and banking 
needs. We are the only bank in our market dedicated to emerging business. In 2021, we were a founding launch partner 
of the Sacramento Business Journal’s Sacramento Inno web platform which covers our region’s innovation economy. We 
are the creator of Five Star Bank Tank which brings together start-ups with investors. We are also a partner of Growth
