The 
8.00%
 Senior Notes due
2023
and the
7.25%
 Senior Notes due
2027
 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) were issued pursuant to indentures with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The
8.00%
 Senior Notes indentures contain a minimum liquidity covenant that obligates JMP Group Inc. to maintain liquidity of at least an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount due on the next
eight
scheduled quarterly interest payments on the 
8.00%
 Senior Notes, or (ii) the aggregate amount due on all remaining scheduled quarterly interest payments on the
$36
million
8.00%
 Senior Notes until the maturity of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes indenture also contains customary event of default and cure provisions. If an uncured default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least
25%
in principal amount of the Senior Notes
may
declare the Senior Notes immediately due and payable. The Senior Notes are JMP Group Inc.’s general unsecured senior obligations, and rank equally with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and are senior to any other indebtedness expressly made subordinate to the notes. At both
March 31, 2019 
and
December 31, 2018,
the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants in the indentures.
