EXPLANATORY NOTE
This
Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (the "Amendment") to
the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Stifel Financial Corp. (the "Company")
on June 3, 2011 (the "Original 8-K"). The Original 8-K was filed to report the
results of the matters submitted to a vote at the 2011 annual stockholders
meeting held on June 1, 2011 (the "2011 Annual Meeting"). The sole purpose of
this Amendment is to disclose the Company's decision regarding the frequency of
the stockholder advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation. No other
changes are being made to the Original 8-K.
Item
5.07(d).    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
As
previously reported in the Original 8-K, with respect to the advisory vote
regarding the frequency of a stockholder advisory vote on executive
compensation, one year received the majority of the votes cast. In light of the
voting results and other factors, the Company's Board of Directors has
determined that the Company will hold an annual non-binding advisory vote on the
compensation of its named executive officers. The Company will hold
annual non-binding advisory votes until the Company's Board of Directors elects to hold the
next stockholder advisory vote on the frequency of advisory votes, which shall
be no later than the Company's annual stockholders meeting in 2017, or until the
Company's Board of Directors elects to implement a different frequency for such
advisory vote.
