 question How do I participate in our Annual Meeting? How many shares are held in the Stifel Financial Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan? On April 7, 2025, the Stifel Financial Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) held 1,858,240 shares of our common stock in the name of Empower, as trustee of the 401(k) Plan. If you are a participant in the 401(k) Plan, you may instruct Empower how to vote shares of common stock credited to your 401(k) Plan account by indicating your instructions by voting via the links on our intranet or by requesting a proxy card and returning it to us by the close of business on May 28, 2025. A properly executed proxy card or instructions received via the links on our intranet will be voted as directed. If no proper voting direction is received, Empower, in its capacity as the 401(k) Plan trustee, will vote your shares held in the 401(k) Plan in the same proportion as votes received from other participants in the 401(k) Plan. Can I change my vote? Yes. Prior to the meeting date, you may cast a new vote by telephone, Internet, or via the links on our intranet, or request and return a proxy card with a later date, or send a written notice of revocation to Mark P. Fisher, our Corporate Secretary, at One Financial Plaza, 501 North Broadway, St. Louis, Missouri 63102, or e-mailus at investorrelations@stifel.com. If you participate in the virtual-only Annual Meeting, you can request that your previously submitted proxy not be used. What are the votes required for these items?

| u | In an uncontested election, as is the case in this election, each nominee for director shall be elected to the Board if the votes cast “for” such nominee’s election exceed the “withhold” votes cast against such nominee’s election. Shares represented by your proxy will be voted in accordance with your direction as to the election of directors from the persons listed below as nominees. In the absence of direction, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted “for” the election of each nominee. In the event any person listed as a nominee becomes unavailable as a candidate for election, it is intended that the shares represented by your proxy will be voted for the remaining nominees and any substitute nominee recommended by the Board. |
