EATON PARTNERS ANNOUNCES KEY APPOINTMENTS

TO LEADERSHIP TEAM

Eric Deyle and Christopher Maduri Join Thomas Kreitler as Global Co-Heads

NEW YORK, September 26, 2023 - Eaton Partners, one of the world's largest placement agents and fund advisory firms and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF), today announced key appointments to its leadership team.

Eric Deyle and Christopher Maduri, who have a combined 20 years at the firm, will join Thomas Kreitler as Global Co-Heads of Eaton Partners. Jeff Eaton, currently Global Co-Head with Mr. Kreitler, will transition to a new role as Senior Advisor, where he will provide strategic counsel and focus on select business development.

"Eric and Chris have been instrumental in helping Eaton Partners grow from a leading placement agent into a full-service fund advisory firm that complements our traditional investment banking business and are well deserving of these promotions," said Brad Raymond, Global Head of Investment Banking at Stifel. "I also want to recognize Jeff Eaton's numerous contributions to the firm, and I look forward to working with him in this new role."

Since 2020, Eaton Partners has raised more than $37 billion in total capital across 650 unique commitments for private funds, nearly 90% of which hit their fundraising hard cap.

Eric Deyle joined Eaton Partners in 2015. He is focused primarily on private funds origination and execution. At Eaton, Mr. Deyle has led and advised on more than 35 fundraises across private equity and private credit and assisted on raising $25 billion of capital commitments. Mr. Deyle's previous experience includes roles in alternative investment, capital markets, and financial services at Lehman Brothers and Ernst & Young.

Christopher Maduri joined Eaton Partners in 2011. He is focused primarily on private funds distribution and leads the U.S. distribution team. At Eaton, Mr. Maduri has worked on roughly 100 fundraises across private equity, real assets, and private credit, securing more than $4 billion in capital commitments for those funds. Prior to Eaton, Chris worked at a boutique advisor/agent focusing on strategic advisory and private equity placement services to leading private equity real estate and infrastructure managers. Previous to that, he worked for Heitman, where he was responsible for identifying potential investments for programmatic joint ventures, separately managed accounts, and in-house investment funds.

"This is an exciting time for Eaton Partners, as we find ourselves at the epicenter of private capital market activity," commented Messrs. Deyle and Maduri. "Given our deep sector knowledge, extensive investor network, and integration into the full Stifel platform, we are able to raise capital efficiently and effectively and are well positioned for continued success."
