Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (this “Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by JMP Group Inc. (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2011 (the “Original Filing”). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s determination as to how frequently it will conduct advisory votes on executive compensation. No other changes have been made to the Original Filing.

 

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

On June 6, 2011, at the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, the Company’s stockholders voted on, among other matters, an advisory proposal on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation. As previously reported in the Original Filing, the Company’s stockholders determined, on an advisory basis, that such stockholders’ preferred frequency of an advisory vote on the Company’s executive compensation is every year.

Consistent with the stated preference of the Company’s stockholders, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Company will include an advisory vote on executive compensation in the Company’s proxy materials every year.
