Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

Warner L. Baxter announced on October 8, 2015, that he is resigning from the Board of Directors of UMB Financial Corporation (the “Company”) effective immediately because he intends to accept a directorship with a larger financial institution in the near future.

Mr. Baxter is not resigning because of a disagreement with the Company, known to an executive officer of the Company (as defined in 17 CFR 240.3b-7), on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Federal banking laws generally prohibit a director from serving two nonaffiliated depository organizations.
