Item 8.01 Other Events.
Stifel Financial Corp. (the “Company”) filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 2, 2015 (the “Original Filing”). The consent of Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, filed as Exhibit 23.1 to the Original Filing, was missing the conformed signature. The conformed signature was inadvertently omitted from the electronic version of the Original Filing filed with the SEC through its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system, although the Company had manually signed copy of the consent in its possession at the time the Original Filing was made. A copy of the consent, including the conformed electronic signature of Ernst & Young LLP, is attached hereto as Exhibit 23.1.
