Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D
     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is filed by BankAtlantic Bancorp, Inc. (“BankAtlantic Bancorp”) to amend Item 5 of the Schedule 13D filed by BankAtlantic Bancorp on March 9, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by BankAtlantic Bancorp on January 16, 2008.
Item 5: Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     On March 17, 2008, BankAtlantic Bancorp, along with another selling shareholder, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Fox-Pitt Kelton Cochran Caronia Waller (USA) LLC (collectively, the “Underwriters”) in connection with an underwritten public offering of shares of common stock of Stifel Financial Corp. (“Stifel”). Under the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, BankAtlantic Bancorp agreed to sell to the Underwriters 1,600,000 shares of Stifel’s common stock and granted the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to purchase 285,000 additional shares of Stifel’s common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, in each case at $40.00 per share. On March 18, 2008, the Underwriters exercised in full the Over-Allotment Option and, on March 24, 2008, the sale of the aggregate of 1,885,000 shares of Stifel’s common stock was completed. After giving effect to this sale, BankAtlantic Bancorp beneficially owns 724,078 shares of Stifel’s common stock (including 481,724 shares of Stifel’s common stock which may be purchased by BankAtlantic Bancorp at $36.00 per share pursuant to immediately exercisable warrants), which represents approximately 4.48% of the issued and outstanding shares of Stifel’s common stock. BankAtlantic Bancorp has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of, all of such shares.
     Other than as set forth herein, neither BankAtlantic Bancorp or BFC Financial Corporation, BankAtlantic Bancorp’s controlling shareholder, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their respective directors, executive officers or control persons, beneficially owns any shares of Stifel’s common stock or has effected any transaction in any shares of Stifel’s common stock during the past 60 days.
