successful in supporting our clients' growth in Europe and more recently in supporting their
expansion in the U.S. through both M&A and equity underwriting,
including the NASDAQ IPOs of Celyad, DBV Technologies, Galapagos
and LDR Holding, for which JMP Securities was also an underwriter,"
said Olivier Garnier. "This alliance
propels us one step further. The combined industry insight,
execution capabilities and transatlantic reach of JMP Bryan Garnier
give us a strategic edge, filling a gap in the marketplace and
enabling us to offer investment banking services on an
international scale that few firms with our sector-specific focus
can match."

growth-oriented investment banks with a cultural fit and common
expertise," said Carter Mack. "The
alliance significantly extends JMP Securities' reach overseas,
allowing us to offer our clients not only a comprehensive
understanding of the market dynamics and competitive landscape in
Europe but also Bryan, Garnier's
