Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On June 1, 2022, Raymond James completed its previously announced acquisition of TriState Capital pursuant to the Merger Agreement. On the Closing Date, (a) Merger Sub 1 merged with and into TriState Capital (the "First Merger"), with TriState Capital as the surviving entity in the First Merger, and (b) immediately following the First Merger, the surviving entity in the First Merger merged with and into Merger Sub 2 (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers"), with Merger Sub 2 as the surviving entity in the Second Merger. Upon closing of the Second Merger, the separate existence of TriState Capital ceased.

Pursuant to the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the First Merger (the "First Effective Time"):



    •     Each share of the common stock, no par value, of TriState Capital (the
          "TSC Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First
          Effective Time, including each outstanding unvested restricted stock
          award (each, a "TSC Restricted Share") then held by a non-employee
          director of the Board of Directors of TriState Capital (each, a "Director
          Restricted Share"), and except for certain shares of TSC Common Stock
          held by Raymond James or TriState Capital, was converted into the right
          to receive (i) $6.00 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") and (ii) 0.25
          shares (the "Exchange Ratio"; and such shares, the "Stock Consideration")
          of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Raymond James (the
          "RJF Common Stock"), plus, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional
          shares of RJF Common Stock.



    •     Each share of 6.75% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series A Non-Cumulative
          Perpetual Preferred Stock, no par value, of TriState Capital ("TSC Series
          A Preferred Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First
          Effective Time was converted into the right to receive a share of a newly
          created series of preferred stock of Raymond James, par value $0.10 per
          share ("RJF Preferred Stock"), having powers, preferences and special
          rights that are not materially less favorable than those of the TSC
          Series A Preferred Stock (designated as Raymond James's 6.75%
          Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series A Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock
          and referred to herein as "RJF Series A Preferred Stock").



    •     Each share of 6.375% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series B Non-Cumulative
          Perpetual Preferred Stock, no par value, of TriState Capital ("TSC Series
          B Preferred Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First
          Effective Time was converted into the right to receive a share of a newly
          created series of RJF Preferred Stock, having powers, preferences and
          special rights that are not materially less favorable than those of the
          TSC Series B Preferred Stock (designated as Raymond James's 6.375%
          Fixed-to-Floating Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock
          and referred to herein as "RJF Series B Preferred Stock").



    •     Each share of Series C Perpetual Non-Cumulative Convertible Non-Voting
          Preferred Stock, no par value, of TriState Capital ("TSC Series C
          Preferred Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First
          Effective Time was converted into the right to receive $30.00 in cash
          multiplied by the number of shares of non-voting common stock, no par
          value, of TriState Capital such share of TSC Series C Preferred Stock was
          convertible into pursuant to the terms of the certificate of designations
          with respect to the TSC Series C Preferred Stock.



    •     Those certain warrants to purchase 922,438 shares of TSC Common Stock
          (the "Warrants") were automatically converted into the right to receive a
          cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of TSC
. . .

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or

Standard; Transfer of Listing

On May 27, 2022, TriState Capital notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ") of the impending consummation of the Mergers and requested that NASDAQ withdraw TSC Common Stock and TriState Capital depositary shares representing TSC Series A Preferred Stock and TSC Series B Preferred Stock from listing on NASDAQ after the end of regular trading hours on NASDAQ on May 31, 2022. In addition, on June 1, 2022, TriState Capital requested that NASDAQ file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 1, 2022 a delisting application on Form 25 with respect to the delisting of TSC Common Stock and TriState Capital depositary shares representing TSC Series A Preferred Stock and TSC Series B Preferred Stock and their deregistration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). As a result, TSC Common Stock and TriState Capital depositary shares representing TSC Series A Preferred Stock and TSC Series B Preferred Stock are no longer listed on NASDAQ.

Additionally, Merger Sub 2, as successor to TriState Capital, intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act requesting the deregistration of TSC Common Stock and TriState Capital depositary shares representing TSC Series A Preferred Stock and TSC Series B Preferred Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of TriState Capital's reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the effective time of the Second Merger.
