Borrowings and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

NOTE 9 – Borrowings and Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

Our short-term financing is generally obtained through short-term bank line financing on an uncommitted, secured basis, securities lending arrangements, repurchase agreements, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, term loans, and committed bank line financing on an unsecured basis. We borrow from various banks on a demand basis with company-owned securities pledged as collateral. We also have an unsecured, committed bank line available.

Our uncommitted secured lines of credit at March 31, 2026, totaled $780.0 million with three banks and are dependent on having appropriate collateral, as determined by the bank agreements, to secure an advance under the line. The availability of our uncommitted lines is subject to approval by the individual banks each time an advance is requested and may be denied. There were no borrowings on our uncommitted secured lines during the three months ended March 31, 2026. There are no compensating balance requirements under these arrangements. Any borrowings on secured lines of credit are generally utilized to finance certain fixed income securities. At March 31, 2026, we had no outstanding balances on our uncommitted secured lines of credit.

We entered into an uncommitted, unsecured $100.0 million line of credit with UMB Bank during the first quarter of 2026. Our peak daily borrowing was $35.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, we had an outstanding balance of $35.0 million, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition.

The Federal Home Loan advances are floating-rate advances. The advances are secured by Stifel Bancorp’s residential mortgage loan portfolio and investment portfolio. The interest rates reset on a daily basis. Stifel Bancorp has the option to prepay these advances without penalty on the interest reset date. At March 31, 2026, there were no Federal Home Loan advances.

On February 4, 2026, the Company and Stifel (the “Borrowers”) entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with respect to its existing unsecured Credit Agreement, dated September 27, 2023, (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company and Stifel and a syndicate of lenders led by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent. Concurrently with, and conditional upon, the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, all the commitments under the Borrowers existing Credit Agreement were terminated.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has a maturity date of February 4, 2031, and provides for a committed unsecured revolving borrowing facility for maximum aggregate borrowings of up to $1.0 billion depending on the outstanding borrowings of the Borrowers from time to time during the duration of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The interest rates on borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are variable and are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate.

The Borrowers can draw upon this facility as long as certain restrictive covenants are maintained. Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Borrowers are required to maintain compliance with a minimum consolidated tangible net worth covenant, as defined, and a maximum consolidated total capitalization ratio covenant, as defined. In addition, Stifel is required to maintain compliance with a minimum regulatory excess net capital percentage covenant, as defined, and the Parent’s bank subsidiaries are required to maintain their status as well-capitalized, as defined, and our bank subsidiaries are required to maintain their status as well-capitalized, as defined.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, the Company’s obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the lending commitments thereunder terminated. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to similar obligations, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, change of control, and judgment defaults. At March 31, 2026, we had no advances on the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all covenants and currently do not expect any covenant violations.
