 racial diversity; provided that any such activities will comply with applicable law.The effectiveness of these processes and policies is assessed by the Governance Committee in connection with its periodic evaluation of the Board’s and each Committee’s performance as contemplated by the Governance Guidelines.Shareholders wishing to provide notice of director nominations and solicit proxies under Rule14a-19of the Exchange Act for shareholder nominees must comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, and the Company’s Bylaws, which include certain advance notification requirements.See“Shareholders Proposals” later in this Proxy Statement for further discussion.23
Nominations The Governance Committee is dedicated to assembling a Board that excels in fulfilling these responsibilities, exercises independent leadership and oversight of management, and operates in a cohesive and effective manner. The Governance Committee has recommended, and the Board has nominated, the slate of 16 director nominees identified below for election to the Board for terms ending at the earlier of the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, or until a director’s earlier death, resignation, removal, disqualification or failure to be elected. All of the nominees currently serve as directors and have been nominated for re-electionbased on their qualifications and performance throughout 2024, or with respect to Mses. Hopkins, Lazo and Murphy, and Messrs. Henderson and Schmidt, based upon the Company’s assessment of their skills and expertise in connection with the acquisition of HTLF. The Board is currently made up of 37.5% female directors, 12.5% ethnic minority directors, and 43.75% female and ethnic minority directors in the aggregate. The Governance Committee believes that each existing director brings applicable talents, relationships, professional or business experience, specialized education or expertise, and other qualities to UMB and these directors meaningfully contribute to increasing the fundamental value of UMB and creating long-term value for shareholders. Each of the nominees has agreed to be nominated and, if elected, to serve as a director. We do not anticipate that any nominee will become unavailable for election, but under our Bylaws, the shares represented by proxy and voting for any Company nominee who unexpectedly becomes unavailable prior to the election will be voted instead for a substitute candidate nominated by the Board. We are not aware of any arrangements or understandings between the nominees and any other person pursuant to which such persons were selected as a director or nominee.
