UMB Financial (UMBF) CEO reports 4.81% beneficial ownership stake

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

UMB Financial Corporation Chairman and CEO J. Mariner Kemper filed an amended ownership statement showing he beneficially owns 3,660,852 shares of UMB Financial common stock, or about 4.81% of the shares treated as outstanding as of March 2, 2026.

The filing explains that on March 14, 2025 UMB Financial physically settled forward sale agreements covering 3,220,000 shares. After this forward settlement, Kemper ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the company’s common stock, so this amendment functions as an exit filing from 5% holder status.
