EXPLANATORY NOTE

DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment to the following registration statement on Form S-3ASR (the "Registration Statement") is being filed by Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Legacy Pinnacle"), to terminate all offerings under the Registration Statement and to deregister any and all securities registered but unsold as of the date hereof thereunder:

1.
Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR, File No. 333-292552, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on January 2, 2026, registering an unspecified amount of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, warrants, units and stock purchase contracts.

On January 2, 2026, due to inadvertent processing error, the Registration Statement, which was intended to be filed by Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc. (formerly Steel Newco Inc.), a Georgia corporation (CIK 0002082866, File No. 001-43038), was improperly filed under the EDGAR filing codes of its predecessor entity, Legacy Pinnacle (CIK 0001115055, File No. 001-39309). The Registration Statement, which was intended to register certain securities of New Pinnacle, was intended to be filed by New Pinnacle in connection with the completion of the simultaneous mergers of Synovus Financial Corp. and Legacy Pinnacle with and into New Pinnacle, with New Pinnacle continuing as the surviving entity and subsequently named "Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc.", effective as of January 1, 2026.

As of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment, no offerings of securities have commenced under the Registration Statement.

Legacy Pinnacle has terminated all offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement, and pursuant to the undertakings in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, this Post-Effective Amendment hereby removes from registration all of such securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment.

A Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-292560) has been subsequently filed by New Pinnacle and accepted by the Commission on January 2, 2026, registering an unspecified amount of debt securities, preferred stock, depositary shares, common stock, warrants, units and stock purchase contracts of New Pinnacle.


SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, on the 2nd day of January, 2026.

PINNACLE FINANCIAL PARTNERS, INC.
(formerly Steel Newco Inc.)
as successor-in-interest to Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc.
