TL;DR: Company filed documents for preferred depositary shares and senior note offerings, including underwriting and indenture supplements.

The exhibits indicate Raymond James prepared for a capital markets transaction involving depositary shares tied to a 6.375% fixed-to-floating perpetual preferred series and two senior note series with specified coupon rates and maturities. The inclusion of underwriting documentation, supplemental indentures, legal opinions, and consents reflects standard protocol for issuing securities and meeting disclosure requirements.

Corporate Finance Counsel

TL;DR: Legal and documentation package appears complete with trustee arrangements and counsel consents included.

The filing references the master Indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., and two supplemental indentures executed September 11, 2025, which typically implement terms for new securities under the existing indenture. The listed legal opinions and consents are included as exhibits, which is consistent with closing deliverables for debt and preferred securities issuance. The documentation list suggests closing mechanics were addressed in the 8-K exhibits.
