 Exhibit 10.1 

UMB Financial Corporation 

Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan 

PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT 

Pursuant to this Performance Share Unit Award Agreement (this “Award Agreement”), and subject to the terms and conditions herein and in the UMB
Financial Corporation Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), UMB Financial Corporation (the “Company,” as defined in the Plan) grants an award (the “Award”) of performance share units (“PSUs”) under
the Plan to the following identified Grantee with the following specified terms: 
 Summary of Award Terms: 

Name of grantee: James D. Rine (the “Grantee”) 

Date of grant: February 11, 2020 (the “Grant Date”) 

Target number of performance share units: 7,323 (the “Target PSUs) 

Performance Period: January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2022 (“Performance
Period”) 
 Vesting: The PSUs shall vest only upon the achievement of the applicable performance criteria during the Performance
Period. Depending on the Grantee’s actual achievements, the Grantee may earn between 0% and 200% of the Target PSUs. 
 Performance
Criteria: The number of PSUs earned by the Grantee at the end of the Performance Period, if any, will be determined by the Committee, in its sole but reasonable discretion, based on the satisfaction of performance criteria identified below.
Specifically, in determining the number of PSUs earned, if any, the Committee shall determine whether the Grantee achieved the following during the Performance Period: 
  

	 	a.	 100% of Target PSUs Earned: Achievement of positive core net operating income for UMB Bank, n.a. (the
“Bank”) for all three (3) years of the Performance Period (collectively, the “First Performance Criteria”); 


  

	 	b.	 133% of Target PSUs Earned: Achievement of the First Performance Criteria and implementation of
the Q2 Online Banking and Mobile Platform services project for the Bank (collectively, the “Second Performance Criteria”); 


  

	 	c.	 166% of Target PSUs Earned: Achievement of the Second Performance Criteria and implementation of
the D1 Teller platform for the Bank (collectively, the “Third Performance Criteria”); and 


  

	 	d.	 200% of Target PSUs Earned: Achievement of the Third Performance Criteria and achievement of an
annualized salary expense reduction for fiscal year 2020 in an amount equal to the value set forth in Exhibit A to this Award Agreement, with 



  
 1 














	 	
salary expense growth for 2021 and 2022 not to exceed the annual salary expense growth budgeted for that year. Excluded from these calculations shall be any salary expense growth due to mergers
and acquisition activity, market expansions, or new product/vertical implementations and, in the Committee’s discretion, other similar events or activities. 


For certainty, successful completion of each performance criteria builds upon, and requires completion of, each performance criteria preceding
it; for example, if the Grantee successfully achieves the positive core net operating income performance criteria, and the D1 teller performance criteria, but fails to achieve the Q2 Online Banking and Mobile Platform services performance criteria,
the Grantee will only be eligible for an Award equal to 100% of the Target PSUs. 
 Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Grantee
must continue to provide services to the Company throughout the Performance Period to remain eligible for any rights or interests with respect to this Award. 

Settlement date: As soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period, but no later than March 15th following the last day
of the Performance Period (the Settlement Date”). 
 Capitalized terms used in this Award Agreement, unless otherwise defined, shall
have the meanings set forth in the Plan. 
 Please note that the Award is conditioned on your acknowledgment of receipt and acceptance within one year
after receiving this Award Agreement. See Section 15 below. If you do not accept the Award before the one-year anniversary of the Grant Date, your Award will be forfeited.

the Award, and understands that the Company makes no representation regarding the tax treatment as to any aspect of the Award, including the grant, vesting, settlement, or conversion of the Award.

in the Plan confers any right to continue in the service of the Company or to receive any other award or amount of compensation, whether 



  
 5 














	 	
under the Plan or otherwise, and no payment of any award under the Plan will be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance, or
other benefit plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan. 

  

	 	d.	 The Grantee consents to the collection, use, and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Grantee’s

split, or consolidation, or a recapitalization, corporate change, corporate transaction, or other similar event relating to the Company, the Committee may adjust the type or number of shares of Common Stock subject to any outstanding portion of the
Award in accordance with Article X of the Plan.

	12.	 Section 409A. It is intended that this Award Agreement is exempt from Internal
Revenue Code Section 409A and the interpretive guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”), and this Award Agreement shall be administered accordingly, and interpreted and construed on a basis consistent with such intent. To the extent

Award Agreement and/or payments to be made thereunder to the extent it determines necessary or advisable to comply with the requirements of Section 409A. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular tax effect
for the Award, and the Company does not guarantee that any compensation or benefits provided under this Award Agreement will satisfy the provisions of Section 409A. If (i) the Grantee’s right to payment is subject to
Section 409A, and (ii) the Grantee is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A) as of the Termination Date, then, to the extent necessary to comply with Treasury Regulation section
1.409A-3(i)(2), settlement of the Award shall be delayed until the earlier of (A) the date which is six months after the Grantee’s separation from service, or (B) the date of the Grantee’s

that any provision or part of a provision in this Award Agreement is unlawful or invalid shall not serve to invalidate any portion of this Award Agreement not found to be unlawful or invalid, and any provision or part of a provision found to be
unlawful or invalid shall be construed in a manner that will give effect to the terms of such provision or part of a provision to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.
