Company Press Release

MILWAUKEE, Wis. - (Business Wire) UMB Fund Services, Inc. (UMBFS), a subsidiary of UMB Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: UMBF), is pleased to announce the recent appointment of Dave E. Weber as vice president and quality control process manager within the transfer agency. Weber reports to Maureen Quill, UMBFS executive vice president of investor services.

In this newly created role, Weber will work closely with the transfer agency management team to evaluate systems and processes, recommending enhancements to position the transfer agency for further growth while maintaining the superior levels of service and quality for which the UMBFS transfer agency is known in the industry.
