As previously disclosed, on March 23, 2009, Stifel Financial Corp.’s (“Stifel”) principal operating subsidiary, Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel Nicolaus”), entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) with UBS Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”) to acquire certain branches from the UBS Wealth Management Americas branch network. On May 4, 2009, Stifel Nicolaus and UBS entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement, and on June 1, 2009, Stifel Nicolaus and UBS entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement. As amended, the Agreement provides for Stifel Nicolaus to acquire an aggregate of 56 branches from UBS.

On August 12, 2009, Stifel Nicolaus and UBS entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Agreement (“Amendment Three”). Pursuant to Amendment Three, Stifel Nicolaus and UBS agreed to effectuate four closings to occur on August 14, 2009, September 11, 2009, September 25, 2009 and October 16, 2009 to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. The first closing, of 12 UBS branches, was consummated as scheduled on August 14, 2009.
