Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously disclosed, on May 4, 2021, Boston Private reconvened the special meeting to consider certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 4, 2021 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "merger agreement"), by and between SVB Financial Group, a Delaware corporation ("SVB Financial") and Boston Private, pursuant to which Boston Private will merge with and into SVB Financial, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

On May 6, 2021, First Coast delivered its final vote tabulation that certified the voting results for each of the matters set forth below that were submitted to a vote at the special meeting. These results are unchanged from the preliminary results previously disclosed.

As of the close of business on March 15, 2021, the record date for the special meeting, there were 82,438,353 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of Boston Private ("Common Stock") outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the special meeting. A total of 66,364,831 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 80.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, were present via Boston Private's special meeting website or represented by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.

At the special meeting, the following proposals were considered and voted upon:

1. a proposal to approve the merger agreement (the "Boston Private merger

agreement proposal");

2. a proposal to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, certain


    compensation arrangements for Boston Private's named executive officers in
    connection with the merger (the "Boston Private merger-related compensation
    proposal"); and

3. a proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to


    solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the
    special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof to approve the
    merger agreement (the "Boston Private adjournment proposal").

Each of the three proposals was approved by the requisite vote of Boston Private's shareholders. The final voting results for each proposal are described below. For more information on each of these proposals, see the definitive proxy statement filed by Boston Private with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2021.
