[The following is a script for the Company’s supervisors to encourage employee shareholders to cast their votes]

The proxy materials for the February 18, 2010 Raymond James Financial, Inc. Annual Meeting of Shareholders are currently being distributed.  As a result of a rule change by the New York Stock Exchange, brokers are no longer able to vote shares held in customer accounts for the election of our directors in the absence of instructions from their customers.  Therefore, it is very important that you respond to the Company’s proxy solicitation by making your choices known through one of the means available to you (mail, telephone or internet) as described in those materials.  Please exercise your shareholder rights and cast your vote promptly.
