Item 8.01. Other Events
On May 13, 2011, UMB Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries, UMB Bank, n.a., UMB Bank Colorado, n.a., UMB Bank Arizona, n.a., and UMB National Bank of America (collectively, the "Company") entered into an agreement to settle a class action lawsuit, filed in Missouri, in November 2010 and amended in May 2011, arising from the Company's consumer personal deposit account posting practices, which allegedly resulted in excessive overdraft fees in violation of Missouri's consumer protection statute and the account agreement. While admitting no wrongdoing, in order to fully and finally resolve the litigation and avoid any further expense and distraction caused by the litigation, the Company agreed to establish a $7.8 million escrow settlement fund. The settlement is subject to approval by the Circuit court of Jackson County, Missouri.
