Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
On June 27, 2010, UMB Financial Corporation ("UMB") and its newly formed subsidiaries, UMB Advisors, LLC ("UMB Advisors") and UMB Merchant Banc, LLC ("UMBMB", together with UMB Advisors, the "Buyers")), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Prairie Capital Management LLC ("Prairie Capital"), PCM LLC ("PCM", together with Prairie Capital, the "Sellers")), Brian Kaufman ("Mr. Kaufman"), Robyn Schneider ("Mr. Schneider"), Curtis Krizek ("Mr. Krizek") and George K. Baum Holdings, Inc. ("GKB", together with Mr. Kaufman, Mr. Schneider and Mr. Krizek, collectively, the "Members"), pursuant to which (i) UMB Advisors will purchase substantially all of the assets of Prairie Capital's business and (ii) UMBMB will purchase substantially all of the assets of PCM's business. Prairie Capital is in the business of providing investment management services, and PCM is the general partner of various investment funds and associated with Prairie Capital's business. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and covenants on behalf of UMB, the Buyers, the Sellers and the Members.

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Buyers will pay the Sellers an aggregate cash payment of $26,648,655, plus or minus a purchase price adjustment based on Prairie Capital's fee income and operating expenses. The Sellers also will be eligible to receive annual earn-out payments during the next five years calculated by multiplying the Adjusted Pre-Tax Income (as defined in Exhibit A to the Purchase Agreement) by the Growth Multiplier (as defined in Exhibit A to the Purchase Agreement) and by eight percent (8%).

Following the closing of the transaction, which is currently set for July 30, 2010, UMB Advisors will change its name to incorporate the Prairie name and will operate as an independent division in the UMB organization. Each of Mr. Kaufman, Mr. Schneider and Mr. Krizek will continue to serve as executive officers and managing directors of Prairie Capital. Under their employment agreements they will be subject to non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions.

On June 30, 2010, UMB issued a press release announcing the transaction, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
