This Amendment No. 6 (Amendment No. 6) amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by Gaylor M. Lawrence, Jr. (the Reporting Person) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 8, 2018 (Amendment No. 5), which amended and supplemented earlier filings on October 17, 2017 (Amendment No. 4), October 4, 2017 (Amendment No. 3), September 13, 2017 (Amendment No. 2), August 25, 2017 (Amendment No. 1) and August 11, 2017 (the Original Schedule 13D, and together with Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5 and this Amendment No. 6, the Schedule 13D) with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (Common Stock) of CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 6 shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 6 amends Items 2(c), 4 and 5(a), as set forth below.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Paragraph (c) of Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(c)

Principal Occupation or Employment: Businessman/Investor, Self-Employed (2)

⁽²⁾ Reporting Person listed his occupation or employment in Item 2 of his original Schedule 13D filed on August 11, 2017 as Businessman, Owner of Lawrence Group, a holding company. To provide clarification, Reporting Person states that the Lawrence Group is not a separate company, but merely a tradename used to describe the multiple businesses owned by Reporting Person.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The second paragraph of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in the following paragraph:

On October 26, 2017, the Reporting Person filed an Interagency Notice of Change in Control (the Notice) seeking permission from the Federal Reserve to acquire up to 15% of the Issuers Common Stock. On November 20, 2017, counsel for the Issuer delivered a letter to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the Board) opposing the Notice. Between November, 2017 and November 6, 2018, the Reporting Person responded to several requests from the Board for information and explanation. The Issuer, likewise, sent several letters and forwarded material it obtained through discovery in the Litigation (as defined below) and elsewhere, advocating that the Board disapprove the Notice. On November 6, 2018, the Board issued a letter (the Opinion) with respect to the Notice. The Opinion stated that the Board had considered the Notice in light of all of the statutory factors and that, based on all of the facts of record, the Board had determined not to disapprove the Notice for the Reporting Person to acquire up to 15% of the Issuer. The Opinion was based on certain representations and commitments made by the Reporting Person, and the result of the Opinion is that the Reporting Person is permitted to purchase up to 15% of the Issuers Common Stock. Depending on overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, and the availability of the Issuers securities at prices that would make the purchase or sale of the Issuers securities desirable, the Reporting Person may acquire additional securities of the Issuer (up to 15% of the Issuers Common Stock). The Reporting Person may also retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. If the Reporting Person seeks to acquire in excess of 15% of the Issuers Common Stock, the Reporting Person will be required to make further notice to the Board.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby further amended by amending and restating in its entirety as follows the paragraph that was added in Amendment No. 5 after the third paragraph of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D:

On October 31, 2017, the Issuer announced that it filed a lawsuit (the Litigation) against the Reporting Person in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee alleging violations of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the federal Change in Bank Control Act, and Tennessee Code Section 45-2-107. The Reporting Person opposes the Litigation, vigorously denies that he violated any laws, and expressly maintains he complied with his legal obligations. On September 24, 2018, the court entered an order partially granting and partially denying Reporting Persons motion to dismiss. The court dismissed Issuers claim under the Change in Bank Control Act as well as its claim for monetary damages under Section 13(d). The court denied Reporting Persons motion to dismiss with respect to Issuers claims for injunctive relief under Section 13(d) and under Tennessee Code Section 45-2-107. Reporting Person continues to vigorously defend those claims. The Issuer and the Reporting Person have been conducting discovery, which is ongoing.
