NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CapStar Financial Holdings, Inc. (CapStar, the Company) (NASDAQ: CSTR), the parent company of CapStar Bank, has been named to the prestigious Piper Sandler Bank & Thrift Sm-All Stars Class of 2021.

The award recognizes CapStar as one of an elite group of only 35 small-cap banks and thrifts in the country and is presented as a testament to Companys top performance among peer financial institutions.

Our Companys progress is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team as theyve worked tirelessly to execute our strategy during an unusually challenging year.
