This presentation is located on the
Company's website at www.stifel.com under "Investor Relations." The presentation
is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The slides are being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, and the
information contained therein shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of
Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be
deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by
specific reference in such filing. 

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain statements that may be
deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. All statements in this report not dealing with historical results are
forward-looking and are based on various assumptions. The forward-looking
statements in this report are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by
the statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from
those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among other
things, the following possibilities: the ability to successfully integrate the
acquired companies or the branch offices and
financial advisors as part of the our transaction with UBS; a material adverse
change in the financial condition; the risk of borrower, depositor and other
customer attrition; a change in general business and economic conditions;
changes in the interest rate environment, deposit flows, loan demand, real
estate values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies or
guidelines; changes in legislation and regulation; other economic, competitive,
governmental, regulatory, geopolitical, and technological factors affecting the
companies' operations, pricing, and services; and other risk factors referred to
from time to time in filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as to the date they are made.
The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect
circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements
are made. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update these
forward-looking statements.
