Raymond James Announces Full Redemption of its Series A Preferred Stock and Related Depositary Shares

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On March 3, 2023, Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE: RJF) announced that, on April 3, 2023, it will redeem all 40,250 outstanding shares of its 6.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock will trigger the redemption of the related depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th interest of a share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Depositary Shares”) (NYSE: RJF PrA) (CUSIP: No. 754730 307). The redemption price will be equal to $1,000.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock and $25.00 per Series A Depositary Share. After giving effect to the redemption, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Series A Depositary Shares will remain outstanding.

Because the redemption date is also a dividend payment date for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Depositary Shares, the redemption prices noted herein do not include declared and unpaid dividends. As previously announced, regular quarterly dividends will be paid separately in the customary manner on April 3, 2023 to holders of record at the close of business on March 15, 2023.

The Series A Depositary Shares are held through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and will be redeemed in accordance with the procedures of DTC. Payment to DTC for the Series A Depositary Shares will be made by Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., collectively, as redemption agent, in accordance with the Deposit Agreement governing the Series A Depositary Shares. The address for the redemption agent is as follows:

Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
