has launched a new mentoring program for female college students looking to enter the financial advisory business
was introduced at the firm’s annual Ladenburg Institute of Women & Finance Symposium
which has over 4,300 advisors across five independent broker/dealer subsidiaries
paid the travel and lodging expenses for 10 female college students to attend the conference
Each student was paired with an experienced female advisor mentor to guide them through the event
discuss how to be successful in this industry and provide a career resource after the event concluded
Students joined from the University of Georgia
Southern Methodist University and Texas Women’s University
The idea is to explore new avenues for attracting future female advisor talent
It’s also a move to look for new talent at colleges and universities with strong certified financial planning programs
as opposed to the training programs at the wirehouses or employee model b/ds
“As more women take on roles as financial decision makers
breadwinners and heads of their households
the financial advice industry must evolve to better reflect this audience and create solutions that meet their specific needs,” said Jaime Desmond
COO of Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management and chairman of LIWF’s Steering Committee
and bringing together more women advisors is a major aspect of accomplishing that goal.”
The Ladenburg Institute of Women & Finance was established in 2012
It’s a group within the firm that is tasked with promoting the professional growth and success of the firm’s women advisors
Another initiative, announced last spring, included a partnership with The W Source
a networking organization for female professionals
with the goal of helping the b/d network’s female advisors promote their businesses locally

German auctioneer Automobilia Ladenburg is offering a vast collection of Ferrari archive material owned by French Ferrari enthusiast and historian Jess G Pourret
Pourret was the former sales manager of French Ferrari importer Franco-Britannic, and is widely credited with revolutionising the 250 GT market with his 1977 book Ferrari Legend: 250 GT Competition Berlinetta
Pourret meticulously compiled extensive archival material
detailing each car’s technical specifications
as well as its provenance and photographic records
Automobilia Ladenburg will offer 662 lots from Pourret’s archives in its Online Automobilia Auction that runs from September 18 until October 6
Leading the sale is an original 1948 blueprint for the Ferrari 166 Inter race car
which has already met its €7.5m reserve price
This is followed by a 1956 1:5 scale blueprint for a Ferrari 500 Testa Rossa and the original invoice for Ferrari 365 California Spyder chassis 10327 – both of which have also met their respective €5m and €3m reserves
Another highlight is a period photograph of Enzo Ferrari inspecting a Ferrari 330 LMB Le Mans Berlinetta after test drives in the Maranello factory grounds (€5m reserve)
and a 1970 invoice from Ferrari Modena to US marque importer Luigi Chinetti Motors for a Ferrari 512 S NART Berlinetta (€1m reserve)

Why KKR Is Buying AEP Transmission Stake for $2.8 Billion
'reflecting both companies' commitment to a multi-brand network model.'
The transaction process was completed much faster than typically expected
with a number of investment bankers close to the industry assuming the deal’s size and complexity would push the close to an April through June time frame
KMS Financial Services and Securities Service Network
“reflecting both companies' commitment to a multi-brand network model,” the firm said
Advisor Group CEO and President Jamie Price will lead the combined firm
Ladenburg common shares have been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange
Advisor Group’s FINRA filings that were required to close the transaction did not indicate whether the firm would consolidate any of the Ladenburg b/ds
This “suggests that if there is any consolidation of the newly acquired firms
it won’t happen right after the transaction closing,” said a source close to the investment banking community
Investment bankers and third-party recruiters familiar with both firms noted that any post-deal consolidation further down the line would almost certainly keep Securities America and Triad Advisors in their current structures and under existing leadership and brands
given the relative size and brand recognition of those b/ds
Advisor Group penned the deal in November to acquire Ladenburg and its five b/ds through a cash merger
with industry observers saying it would be the largest multicustodial and multiclearing enterprise in the independent wealth management space
The total value of the deal was $1.3 billion
Outstanding shares of Ladenburg stock will be converted into a cash payment of $3.50 a share
a 23% premium to where the stock was trading before the announcement
shareholders of Ladenburg Thalmann voted Thursday to allow Advisor Group to acquire the firm
Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services’ shareholders voted Thursday to approve a deal with Advisor Group to acquire and merge the two broker/dealer networks
The news comes about a month after several shareholders
including biotech billionaire and former Ladenburg Chairman Dr
filed suits against the company to block the deal
The firm also received approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to merge
and Ladenburg expects the deal to be finalized in mid-February
Advisor Group penned the deal in November to acquire Ladenburg and its five broker/dealers through a cash merger
creating a b/d network with 11,500 advisors and over $450 billion in assets
Ladenburg’s b/ds will not be merged with Advisor Group’s
Frost filed suit against his old company late last year
claiming that the merger agreement "disregards obligations owed to them as holders of certain notes issued by the company."
He settled those charges without admitting or denying the allegations
In mid-December, some shareholders of Ladenburg filed two individual lawsuits and one class action suit to block the acquisition
or force the firm to disclose certain financial projections left out of the proxy statement filed on Dec
claiming the acquisition price undervalues Ladenburg Thalmann
Shareholder Richard Liebman filed another individual complaint against the firm
and shareholder Morris Akerman filed a second proposed class action
The case brought by shareholder Harold Bonnikson was voluntarily dismissed in early January
Phillip Frost, biotech billionaire and chairman of Ladenburg Thalmann, was involved in two of three pump-and-dump schemes that fleeced investors out of over $27 million, the Securities and Exchange Commission claims
Frost was one of 10 individuals charged in the market manipulation scheme that lasted from 2013 to 2018
The scheme was led by Florida investor Barry Honig
who bought large quantities of three microcap companies at steep discounts
the alleged fraudsters illegally promoted the stocks and manipulated trading in them
Securities Service Network and KMS Financial Services
the firm has become one of the most aggressive acquirers in the independent space
“The allegations in the SEC complaint are unrelated to Ladenburg
our subsidiaries and our business activities
Frost’s involvement as a non-executive Board member or shareholder of our Company,” said Joseph Kuo
Ladenburg Thalmann has tapped Thayer Gallison
former vice president for investment research and product due diligence at Advisor Group
Gallison will lead the firm’s new enterprise-wide due diligence platform
The platform is the first of many new initiatives that Ladenburg plans to roll out in the coming months—now that the Department of Labor’s fiduciary rule is on the backburner
“Now that our industry enjoys a greater level of regulatory clarity
we are actively deploying Ladenburg’s substantial resources to roll out targeted new platforms and solutions that directly support our subsidiary firms and the work they do for financial advisors and their clients in this new environment,” said Adam Malamed
executive vice president and chief operating officer at Ladenburg
Due diligence is currently provided at the b/d level
and each firm has its own product platform; that won’t change with this initiative
“The change here with Thayer and his rule is really to take the existing due diligence personnel and take them out of their existing relationship directly with each of their independent firms and move them into a reporting relationship with Thayer,” said Craig Timm
The new platform is meant to augment what was already in place at Ladenburg’s five firms—Securities America
“The project and the platform itself is intended to fulfill that more detailed product analysis
ongoing performance monitoring of our products that are made available through each of our five independent advisory and brokerage firms,” Timm said
Ladenburg has more than 4,000 advisors across the five independent broker/dealer subsidiaries
who served as chief operating officer at Cetera Financial until the middle of last year
has been named senior vice president of enterprise services for Ladenburg Thalmann
a newly created position aimed at improving the advisor service experience across the firm’s five broker/dealers and 4,400 advisors
Ballard was president and COO of Docupace Technologies
which was rebranded to Advisor Group when Lightyear Capital purchased the firm in 2016
Ballard will work with the leadership teams of the firm’s independent broker/dealer subsidiaries
He’ll focus on improving efficiencies across the firms
Seattle-based KMS Financial recently promoted Erinn Ford, who came on board as president a year ago
The firm said the leadership change was part of a larger growth initiative and would be followed by a series of senior leadership changes
KMS Financial Services, a Seattle-based broker/dealer subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann, has promoted Erinn Ford, who came onboard as president a year ago
who’s been with the firm for over 30 years and will transition to chairman emeritus
Ford becomes one of a small handful of women CEOs in the independent brokerage space
The leadership change is part of a larger growth initiative at the firm
and it will be followed by a series of senior leadership changes the firm will announce in the coming weeks
Ford was president and senior vice president of advisor relations at Cetera Advisors
she served as chief operating officer and head of marketing at Pacific West Securities
which closed its doors and moved its reps over to Cetera Advisors
KMS was acquired by Ladenburg Thalmann in August 2014 for $24 million in cash and stock
managing $16.4 billion in client assets at the end of last year

NeuroOne Medical Technologies' announced common stock offering represents a significant dilutive event for current shareholders of this small-cap medical technology company
With a market capitalization of only $27.4 million
any substantial issuance of new shares will meaningfully reduce existing shareholders' ownership percentages
The offering's structure includes standard elements that warrant attention: all shares will come directly from the company (not existing shareholders)
and underwriters receive a 45-day option for an additional 15% of shares
the announcement critically omits key details including:
This lack of transparency regarding capital deployment makes it impossible to assess whether the dilution will be offset by value-creating initiatives
While capital raising is normal for medical technology companies developing solutions for neurological disorders
the absence of stated purpose raises questions about the strategic rationale
The offering utilizes an existing shelf registration declared effective in August 2024
indicating this was part of planned financing activities rather than an unexpected development
Ladenburg Thalmann's role as sole book-runner provides a standard execution framework
this offering has immediate negative implications through ownership dilution without articulated compensating benefits
Without knowing how NeuroOne intends to use this capital
investors cannot properly evaluate whether the dilutive effect will be justified by accelerated development
2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NMTC) (the “Company”)

This public offering announcement carries significant implications for INBS and its shareholders
The company's relatively small market capitalization of $13.1 million makes this capital raise particularly impactful
as any substantial offering will likely result in meaningful dilution for existing shareholders
The selection of Ladenburg Thalmann as the sole bookrunner is noteworthy
This mid-tier investment bank typically handles smaller-scale offerings
suggesting this raise might be proportional to INBS's current market size
The use of a shelf registration from April 2022 indicates strategic planning for capital needs
though the timing - nearly two years after the registration - raises questions about the urgency of current funding requirements
Several critical factors warrant attention: First
the absence of specified terms or size suggests potential pricing flexibility based on market reception
the offering's structure as an underwritten deal
rather than an at-the-market (ATM) offering
indicates a more immediate capital need rather than gradual funding
the timing amid current market conditions for small-cap biotech companies could impact the offering's pricing and success
The 'subject to market conditions' clause is particularly relevant given the volatile nature of small-cap biotech stocks
Investors should note that such offerings typically price at a discount to current market prices to ensure successful placement
with the discount magnitude often correlating with market conditions and investor demand

SoundHound AI (NASDAQ:SOUN) has been a big beneficiary of the AI boom
investors showed little reason to celebrate after the voice recognition specialist released its Q3 results
Revenue climbed by an impressive 88.6% year-over-year
and beating the Street’s forecast by $2.06 million
the adjusted EPS of -$0.04 beat expectations by $0.03
upping revenue expectations for the full year to the range between $82 – $85 million and for 2025 calling for revenue between $155 – $175 million
Analysts were expecting merely $82.6 million and $152.1 million
It’s likely that the stock’s big runup leading up to the results set expectations unreasonably high
creating limited room for further upside but plenty of room for disappointment
Another possible explanation is that the company offered no profitability guide for next year and taking into account operating and net losses increased year-over-year in the quarter (its per-share losses decreased
but this was due to a 49% increase in the number of shares compared to the same period last year)
Ladenburg Thalmann analyst Glenn Mattson also notes that adj
falling from 67% sequentially (Mattson was expecting 61%)
as the company “begins to absorb some overhead from the Amelia acquisition.” Meanwhile
cash opex came in $1.5 million above the analyst’s forecast
Put those developments together and adjusted EBITDA was negative $15.8 million compared to Mattson’s expectation of negative $12.3 million
Mattson has nice things to say about the company and considers voice to be “one of the key early applications for AI systems.” SOUN is a leader in this field and is providing valuable solutions for businesses seeking to implement AI capabilities
while the recent Amelia acquisition expands the company’s reach and adds “significant scale” to the business
However, Mattson downgraded the stock from Buy to Neutral, citing the rapid share price appreciation and higher-than-anticipated losses. For now, Mattson’s price target stays at $7, indicating the stock has room for growth of 13% over the next year. (To watch Mattson’s track record, click here)
The other 4 other recent SOUN reviews split into 3 Buys and 1 Hold, all for a Moderate Buy consensus rating. Going by the $8.10 average price target, a year from now, shares will be changing hands for a ~31% premium. (See SOUN stock forecast)

“I’m very passionate about donkeys and burros and that’s what I love about my work.”
spent summer vacations at Sprucedale Guest Ranch near Alpine
working for an outfitter doing trail rides
and driving mule and draft teams for dinner wagon rides
I even worked on the ranch fixing fences and doing every other ranch chore you could possibly think of.”
It was in Montana that Ladenburg’s love for donkeys and mules began to grow
she was a trainer with the Mustang Heritage Foundation
was teamed up with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
we would pick up untouched wild burros and mustangs from the BLM holding facilities to gentle them with basic training skills and then find adopters for them
The goal was to get these animals out of holding facilities and into good homes,” said Ladenburg
she began fostering burros on her five acres
She also discovered that finding a barefoot trimmer
Barefoot trimmers fall under the umbrella of farriers
“We help equines develop healthy hooves by removing excess growth
improves shock absorption and reduces soreness and injury
Ladenburg also found that few people were willing to do farrier work on burros because they were concerned about getting kicked
“I have found donkeys are very willing to learn to stand for trims if treated right
Their mind is very different from that of a horse and therefore
Her first step was learning to trim rescue donkeys online through The Donkey Farrier Program run by Megan Hensley
“Megan Hensley has been trimming donkeys for close to 20 years and her school has been a blessing for donkeys around the world
After I completed my online schooling with Megan
I started doing a local apprenticeship with Amanda Marsh in Prescott who has been a hoof care professional for 15-plus years
Amanda has become my biggest mentor and has taught me so much about trimming.”
a world-renowned veterinarian in Camp Verde
“He has also been a mentor and increased my knowledge through in-person hoof dissection training.”
Burros and donkeys are actually the same animal
“Here in Arizona where we have herds of wild feral donkeys
the term burro is most commonly used to identify that they were once a wild/feral donkey
it is still a donkey,” Ladenburg explained
“I’m very passionate about donkeys and burros and that’s what I love about my work
One of my goals is to educate society about them
People think they are horses with long ears and that they are stubborn
Once you learn to ‘speak donkey,’ they truly bond with you and they are incredibly loyal and are pretty much willing to do anything for you,” she said
I was really motivated to work with and help her because I really wanted to help women rise up in the farrier world
which is dominated by men,” said Amanda Marsh
who taught Ladenburg the art of barefoot trimming
“Juliana had so much passion and so much knowledge and she was so well-versed and had so much experience
Marsh praises Ladenburg for her professionalism
she’s responsible and she shows up for the job
a great mom and so into her family and her animals
her faith is extraordinary and I just love being around her.”
“I contacted Juliana because my saddle donkey was having some issues with her feet,” said Dee Whitt of Camp Verde
“Juliana started corrective trimming and slowly getting her balanced and comfortable
Juliana also taught me about donkey nutrition and the part it plays in keeping their feet healthy
She is efficient and picky and doesn’t stop until the animal is comfortable.”
Ladenburg has six donkeys and works throughout the Verde Valley and Quad Cities region and enjoys living in Prescott

At Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services' annual fee-based advisory conference in January
home office executives and strategic partners from across the country
Enthusiasm among the event’s participants was reinforced by new faces from our merger partners at Advisor Group
and our shared message of optimism about the future of our combined company
The diversity and success represented by the participants from Advisor Group and Ladenburg was a cause for celebration of all that we have created at Ladenburg over the past 15 years
We have been privileged to help shape the rapid evolution of an industry that
is all about helping individuals and families across the country to meet their life goals
as we approached the completion of Ladenburg Thalmann’s merger with Advisor Group
we have reflected on our remarkable journey
Our transaction with Advisor Group is more than just one of the largest and most high-profile deals in the history of our industry – it is a culmination of strategy and execution by many individuals
we believe our success in building Ladenburg is due to five key elements that every firm – regardless of capital structure
ownership or business model – must get right in order to create maximum value for financial advisors and their clients: vision
When we entered the independent advisory and brokerage space
we had a clear vision: To build the leading innovator of the network model in the independent financial advice industry
We purposefully sought to acquire and grow independent firms that each had a unique brand and culture appealing to a specific segment of the advisor community
we had a shared passion for delivering professional financial guidance to mass affluent households who might otherwise not have access to the advice and planning they need
we always challenged ourselves to think in multiples bigger than others
We started in 2006 when Ladenburg had just $36 million in revenues
Our early vision of opportunistic growth focused our financial advisors
strategic partners and other stakeholders on what we knew was possible
Our leadership team at Ladenburg had many strengths which drove our success since 2006
Identifying these many talented individuals throughout our organization and empowering them has been core to our leadership philosophy
The leaders we selected across our organization challenged our thinking
embraced change and fostered an environment of effective collaboration in addressing major challenges while unlocking major growth opportunities
our team was able to drive execution of our strategy
building Ladenburg into a scale player with over 4,400 advisors
Consider the numbers behind this growth: In 2006
the enterprise value of Ladenburg was $165 million
Ladenburg achieved a total valuation of $1.3 billion
We executed on a unique opportunity to significantly scale up our independent firms
while growing in other areas that synergistically added value for advisers
insurance and annuity marketing organizations
build scale in a severely fragmented IBD space
lean into the strong demographic trends fueling organic growth of advisers
utilize the economies of scale to drive not just profitability
acquire companies only at very attractive valuations
our growth philosophy was “One plus one should be greater than two.” During our tenure
led the industry in advisor recruiting from 2016 to 2019
and completed a number of value-enhancing strategic acquisitions over 15 years while looking at more than 100 deals
growth in the absence of careful risk management is a sucker’s bet
Our approach to risk was to miss small and win big
Even when we acquired Securities America in 2011
a company nearly triple our existing size at the time
we had confidence that we had conservatively structured and financed the deal in a way that our long-term existence was never in jeopardy
Risk was a top priority in all decisions and strategic initiatives we moved forward on
The past 15 years of building and operating Ladenburg has given us the most profound joy one could dream about
for fearlessly executing strategy and serving financial advisers
for enabling countless clients to achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams
We extend our deepest congratulations to the entire expanded Advisor Group organization
which is exceptionally well-positioned to lead the future of our industry
As we bid a fond and grateful farewell to Ladenburg and to our employees and advisors
we also look ahead with a sense of excitement
towards new beginnings in the wealth management industry
and the broader industry – promises to be very bright
Richard Lampen is the former chairman and CEO of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services
Adam Malamed is the former executive vice president and COO of Ladenburg
is pleased to announce the appointment of Barry Steiner and Mike Gideon as co-Chief Executive Officers
This strategic decision underscores Ladenburg’s commitment to capitalizing on current market opportunities and propelling its investment banking business to greater heights
Steiner is a long-standing member of the Ladenburg investment banking team
having served as its Chief Operating Officer for ten years
Steiner has been instrumental in driving growth and fostering enduring client relationships
Gideon has 16 years of experience in the industry and has overseen Ladenburg’s operations since 2018
He is responsible for leading the strategic direction of the Equity Trading division and drives Ladenburg’s business development efforts in all aspects of trading
“We are delighted to appoint Barry and Mike as co-CEOs,” stated Jamie Price
“Their combined leadership and expertise will play a pivotal role in advancing Ladenburg’s investment banking business
This move reflects our dedication to leveraging the dynamic opportunities within the middle market.”
“We are committed to collaborating with Ladenburg’s talented investment banking team to unlock new opportunities and achieve even greater success,” remarked Steiner and Gideon in a joint statement
“We are confident in Ladenburg’s position to emerge as a leader in the middle market and are dedicated to building upon the company’s legacy of delivering exceptional results for our clients.”

Advisor Group is absorbing its next biggest rival
The parties said the transaction will create a network of nine independent broker-dealers with nearly 11,500 financial advisors and more than $450 billion in client assets following its expected close in the first half of 2020
The deal would make publicly-traded Ladenburg private
Both firms pledged there would be no mergers between any of the five Ladenburg IBDs and Advisor Group’s four existing firms. Of the 30 largest firms in Financial Planning’s annual IBD Elite study
Phoenix-based Advisor Group would own six of them
Advisor Group will also maintain Ladenburg’s other units
a trust company and an insurance brokerage
Advisors won’t have to make a custodial transition because both firms use Pershing and Fidelity Clearing and Custody Solutions National Financial Services
Independent BDs Which independent broker-dealers produce the most revenue? June 3
2019 2:00 AM “Advisor Group and Ladenburg have a shared commitment to the flexibility of third-party clearing
together with maintaining a 'small firm feel' delivered through the distinct management teams and cultures of a multi-brand network model,” Advisor Group CEO Jamie Price said in a statement
“In today's fast-consolidating marketplace,” Price went on
“where advisors fear becoming just another number in the crowd
the more intimate service culture and sense of community that our multi-brand approach offers is increasingly in demand."
Woodbury Financial Services and FSC Securities make up Advisor Group’s existing network
which produced revenue of $1.69 billion in 2018
Price will lead the combined network after the expected regulatory clearances for the definitive merger agreement
which Ladenburg’s board of directors unanimously approved
Senior executives with Ladenburg will join Advisor Group’s executive ranks as well
“This is a transaction that maximizes value for our shareholders
while positioning our financial advisors for continued growth and success,” Ladenburg CEO Richard Lampen said in a statement
Reverence reportedly paid more than $2 billion for its acquisition of the majority stake in Advisor Group earlier this year

with 11,500 advisors and over $450 billion in assets
will be one of the largest independent brokerage firms and may accelerate Advisor Group's efforts to roll out an RIA-only platform
Advisor Group has penned a deal to acquire Ladenburg Thalmann and its five broker/dealers through a cash merger
the largest multi-custodial and multi-clearing enterprise in the independent wealth management space,” said Larry Roth
managing partner of RLR Strategic Partners
“This is going to create significant new opportunities for its financial advisors
while establishing Advisor Group as a very credible competitor to the largest firms in this industry.”
The total value of the deal is $1.3 billion
WealthManagement.com reported earlier this month that the two companies were reportedly in exclusive talks to negotiate a deal
Ladenburg has strategically acquired large independent broker/dealers over the years; it now has five b/ds
the firm added $380 million in advisor revenue
Advisor Group’s b/ds include FSC Securities Corporation, Royal Alliance, SagePoint Financial and Woodbury Financial. In May, the firm was sold to private equity firm Reverence Capital Partners
Both firms clear through Pershing and National Financial
so there will be no repapering of client accounts
Advisor Group CEO and President Jamie Price will continue to lead the organization
and the leadership team will consist of executives from both firms
Price said it’s too early to consider whether Ladenburg advisors will be offered some kind of retention package; he implied there was little need for it since the two are on the same clearing platforms and there will be no account number changes for clients
“If we thought there was opportunity to do that or it was needed in some way
that isn’t readily apparent or necessary because there’s no change for the advisors.”
and as advisors will remain under the same clearing arrangements
there should be no disruption to client accounts
Ladenburg started to move increasingly toward shared services across all its b/ds
who’s significantly further ahead in that process and has so many tools and resources and things directionally that we were headed to in terms of our technology platform
they already had in place,” said Dick Lampen
“It’s going to speed up where we had been trying to get to on a standalone basis.”
Advisor Group already has some shared services
which it expects to implement across the Ladenburg b/ds
including its eQuipt digital client onboarding system
its succession planning offering MySuccessionPlan and its CyberGuard Program for cybersecurity
Meanwhile, Advisor Group’s advisors will now have access to Ladenburg’s insurance brokerage
investment banking capabilities and trust services
created in the late 1990s as a channel for hybrid and RIA-only advisors
Securities America also provides a similar type of support for RIAs through its Arbor Point platform
formed via a joint venture between Securities America and NorthStar Financial Services Group
is an RIA platform that allows advisors to use multiple custodians while retaining their commission-based business
The firm serves hybrid advisors who want to own and operate their own privately branded firm
but don’t want the operations and compliance burdens
Price also believes Advisor Group’s outsourced regulatory and compliance offering will also be attractive to RIAs
“One of the largest expenses the RIA-only channel has—and it’s getting steeper by the minute—is regulatory and compliance as it relates to SEC and SEC audits and filings,” he said
“The ability to outsource that to us and us to leverage scale from a pricing standpoint to offer it
A strong performance exploring the pain and desperation of a new mother
Sophie Swithinbank‘s script explores the often-neglected struggles of mothers
particularly those experiencing mental health issues after childbirth
Her script poignantly portrays Mother’s (Phoebe Ladenburg) isolation
and the desperation that eventually leads to her incarceration.
Mother is eager to share her story with her daughter – the story she wants both her daughter and us as the audience to understand and
It is the story of how she ended up at the police station and the events that ultimately led to her prison sentence
it’s her version of the story and she is desperate for her daughter to hear it.
with a meta element woven throughout as Ladenburg directly addresses the audience and even picks out specific audience members
She also calls for the lighting and sound changes
often glancing and gesturing towards the tech station to signal these adjustments
She is always aware of and playing to her audience.
With nowhere to hide on a set of a single chair and three coat hooks
Ladenburg delivers a raw and emotional performance that lays bare the struggles of a mother on the brink
Ladenburg is more than up to the challenge
and she never lets us forget Mother’s humanity or her struggle
She is adept at portraying both sides of a conversation
Mother skilfully engages with her visiting daughter
Despite the absence of these characters on stage
we never feel their presence is missing or that any side of the conversation is lacking.
Ladenburg effortlessly portrays Mother as totally relatable and with a gift for storytelling that shows charm and wit – which can make it difficult to distinguish between lines practised for her daughter and actual truth
her rehearsed words and polished presentation take on a new dimension and this raises the question: how much of her story is genuine
and how much is a performance honed to present herself in the best possible light?
as she interacts with social services and faces the threat of losing her daughter to care
Mother observes that “nobody cares about the mothers”
A social worker visits to investigate the care and well-being of her daughter
but no one is looking out for her – the mother
Suffering badly after the birth of her daughter
Mother is alone with no family support; carrying all of her burdens alone and looking after a newborn
there is no sign that her time in prison has led to rehabilitation
Mother’s rage and bitterness erupt when her ex’s mother
It becomes clear that her prison sentence has not succeeded in rehabilitating her
which is an understated but powerful observation.
Mother has undoubtedly committed terrible acts yet her profound loss and desperation has gone unnoticed; no one reached out to help her
whom she often refers to as ‘the keeper of her body’
instead casting a stark light on the often-overlooked vulnerability of new mothers in crisis

But it's not clear whether any of the proceeds will trickle down to advisors in the form of retention bonuses
stock options and preferred shares could mean still higher payouts for insiders
For advisors wondering if they'll receive retention bonuses after the five IBDs change hands, the sellers say they haven’t made any final decisions. However, the plan of merger restricts any investments or recruiting loans for advisors or prospective ones to no more than $500,000 each or $5 million on an aggregate basis for practice equity swaps and $2.5 million for bonus loans
The respective cumulative limits would double if the deal doesn’t close by the end of the first quarter
board members and other major shareholders would collect $3.50 per share for common stock and the excess between the purchase price and their options at close
2019 7:20 PM In addition to the acceleration of the stock options
preferred stockholders would get the opportunity to convert some or all of their holdings into cash
Debt securities issued by Ladenburg would transfer to the combined company upon completion of the deal
Substantial shares in Vector could also pose an impact on the amount of compensation. Frost is the largest shareholder of the Douglas Elliman Realty parent and tobacco company owner, while Lorber and Lampen have executive positions there, according to Vector’s annual proxy
Advisor Group CEO Jamie Price — who is slated to lead the merged company of nine IBDs with 11,500 advisors — had cited the fact that there won’t be any repapering of client assets to new custodians under the deal when he said the firm didn’t have plans to offer retention bonuses
But Ladenburg COO Adam Malamed followed up with an emailed statement noting that the transaction process is still “in the early stages.” He and other executives focused their public statements about the deal on the IBD subsidiary structure the networks have in common
The two firms “have highly complementary capabilities that will enable us to strengthen technology
practice management and service for financial advisors across our combined platform,” Malamed said
He added that advisors will recognize the strength of the merged resources as they “continue to learn about this transaction.”
Ladenburg intends to play a big role in that educational process
The seller must “assist the parent in its efforts to retain the company’s financial advisors following the closing,” according to the plan of merger
The mandatory retention push includes in-person meetings with “key” advisors and “reasonably prompt notice” to Advisor Group should Ladenburg become aware of any departures by senior executives or representatives with more than $300,000 in annual gross dealer concessions
A higher price would have meant even bigger payouts
The tab of $3.50 per share already constitutes a 25% premium over the stock’s closing price from its prior trading day and a multiple of 2.1x on Ladenburg’s stated book value at the end of the third quarter
according to a note by analyst Alexander Paris of Barrington Research
The multiple represents “a premium to the 0.9x price/book average among small cap broker-dealers,” according to Paris
He noted that the stock is trading “within pennies of the agreed-upon purchase price” in reducing its rating to “market perform” after the sale agreement
Executives stand to make a lot from the deal
Ladenburg’s senior vice president for corporate and regulatory affairs
could also make an additional $550,000 in severance pay if they lose their positions after the merger

Advisor Group’s acquisition of Ladenburg Thalmann could close as soon as Friday or early next week
according to sources close to the investment banking community
The transaction process is wrapping up much faster than typically expected
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority also approved the deal
Advisor Group penned the deal in November to acquire Ladenburg and its five broker/dealers through a cash merger
executives said Ladenburg’s b/ds would not be merged with Advisor Group’s

John Ladenburg stops on the 18th fairway at Chambers Bay Golf Course near a bunker tunneled into the fairway

That’s the last thing anyone could have expected
a railroad operation and a succession of companies that mined more than 250 million tons of gravel over more than a century
The gravel was used to build freeways and highways and roads
The abundant sand was used in part to construct area courses
Pierce County purchased most of the 650-acre tract of land and its scrub trees and gravel mounds and shallow drainage pounds for $33 million
It needed a site for a wastewater treatment plant; the land and the views remained hidden beyond a barbed-wire fence
my friends and I would hop that fence and slide down the slopes
Ladenburg was only vaguely aware of the gravel mine
and what he saw—a vast expanse of land with two miles of western exposure perched on a beach—startled him
Grandview Drive wound along the top of the property
and although the view below lived up to the name
added a trail and sidewalks along Grandview
The enhancement wasn’t seen as simply an assist to walkers and joggers
Ladenburg wanted to broaden the county’s vision of what was possible for the gravel mine
he believed the locals needed to see what lay below
his idea wouldn’t sound so far-fetched
Ladenburg’s grand plan: He wanted to build a golf course that was strong enough to host the U.S
the layout on Long Island that is by most accounts the first public course to host a U.S
Ladenburg set his sights on the golf course
The county had a 50-year plan for the property
but he whittled that vision down to eight years
“Everyone thought I was crazy,” Ladenburg says
we had to remove 1.4 million cubic tons of sand.” He hired consultants
maybe better.” More than 70 firms applied to design the course
Most decisions pointed toward making the venue U.S

The plan required a $24 million commitment and the approval of three city councils
was one of five design finalists to accommodate the county’s request for a 27-hole layout
but his company also included plans for an 18-hole routing
because it opened up more space between holes
That cemented the county’s decision to go with Jones

while several workers sew patches of grass together as if they are crafting a quilt
“We’re getting close,” he says
Jones first surveyed the property in 2003 using Google Earth
and there it was: sand and sea and the possibility of pure links—in the United States
He has designed or built or remodeled more than 300 courses
“Every once in a while you get the sense that you can do something special.”
Jones sought to develop an unusual challenge
“The best players in the world tend to be artillery officers shooting from up high,” he says
It integrates the ground game with the aerial game
Jones sees Chambers Bay as a tactical course
A “ricochet romance,” he calls it
and seven holes can be stretched beyond 490 yards
The course can play anywhere from 6,200 to 7,900 yards
The fairways are 100 yards wide in some spots and as narrow as 10 yards in others; 17 holes are studded with bunkers
Open has never been held at a course like it,” says Danny Sink
The number of rounds played fell from 40,000 in ’07 to below the number the course required to make its debt payment (roughly 32,000 rounds)
the wheels to host the Open were set in motion early on
Ladenburg first heard about the possibility when he got a call from Mike Davis
then the USGA’s senior director of rules and competition
told him that Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck
which had hosted the Open most recently in 2006
had voted not to bid on the ’15 Open
He then asked Ladenburg to immediately send the USGA a letter on behalf of Chambers Bay
also overnighting letters to the members of the selection committee
the USGA announced it was awarding the Open as well as the ’10 U.S
The litmus test for whether Chambers Bay could host a major championship came in 2010
and the 16th tee was moved perilously close to the train tracks
But the Amateur also showcased how adaptable the course is
Number 9 will play both uphill and downhill at the Open—a 100-foot drop one day
Number 18 will flip between a long but drivable par-4 and a par-5
“This is everything I know about the game and then some,” says Jones
“I’ve gone to Opens since I was 10 years old
and the history of the Open is embedded in these holes
It’s Royal Dornoch Golf Club in Scotland
It’s Ben Hogan with the 1-iron on 18 at Merion in 1950.”
I mentioned that I had driven by our old house during one of my visits to Chambers Bay
that I had knocked on the front door but no one answered
We both have read the complaints about Chambers Bay: from Tour players who criticized the course and residents who said they were forced out of their homes
“He was a visionary,” Davis says of Ladenburg
“I was taken aback by the scale of the site
That assignment falls to various entities but especially to Sink
a man who has a job that is among the most unusual in sports
Every two to three years he moves to a city ahead of a U.S
rents a house and moves in his wife and two young kids
His office is filled with the treasures of his travels: mini NFL helmets from every city in which he has lived
a menu from the White House (West Wing Burger included)
He also has a series of site maps that show how dramatically Chambers Bay has changed from even four years ago
He says that he and other officials will go through around 55 variations
and his team oversees everything from the course layout to corporate hospitality to volunteers to ticket sales to merchandise staging
Three years of work culminates in a single week
“We always joke about how great it would be to run an NFL stadium,” Sink says
“You already have everything mapped out
Sink has spoken to more than 200 civic groups and associations
He has planned for how to handle the crush of 35,000 daily spectators
He has lined up 290 buses to shuttle fans back and forth
some wondered if the USGA would ultimately move the Open
“I’ve never woken up in the morning and thought the USGA was going somewhere else,” he says
Back in the restaurant my father posed a question I didn’t know the answer to
“Do you think it will all be worth it?”
Michael Greller attended the first Chambers Bay caddies meeting in 2007
He had moved to the area and accepted a teaching position at Narrows View Intermediate School because he wanted to be close to the course
and my students would be lined on the bluff
and later Thomas introduced him to Jordan Spieth
Greller worked for Spieth occasionally and was eventually offered the job full time
“If Jordan is in the mix at Chambers Bay
Or will you be wondering why you didn’t pursue that?” So he gave up his teaching gig for a golf bag
at 21 he won the Masters in record-breaking fashion
“People in my life were concerned,” Greller says
“But we’re headed home now.”
He can already see the impact: in the golfers who travel to Chambers Bay from around the world to play a bucket-list Open course; in the sale of Open tickets
which were snapped up faster than ever before
that demand crashed the servers; in the volunteer lists
pocked with his former students and colleagues
says that in the last two years play steadily increased
and he has met golfers from as far away as Shanghai
University Place is so different now than when Greller arrived
or before Ladenburg had this crazy idea to build a championship golf course atop an abandoned gravel mine
after the course that now defines a suburb
Tipton says the economic impact of the Open could be between $100 million and $140 million
“I have a lot of friends in Tacoma,” Jones says
“Tacoma was always an industrial town
Chambers Bay is more than a golf course; there’s a three-mile trail and two meadows
a place for joggers and dog-walkers and bird-watchers
“We’re probably there twice a week,” says Michael Putnam
a Tour player who lives down the street from the course
and I didn’t have any idea what was going on
it would be the highlight of my career.”
Davis first visited Chambers Bay about 10 years ago
back when it was nothing more than dust and sand and gravel mounds
“He was a true visionary,” Davis says
He saw that before anyone else did.”

Phillip Frost claims the merger disregards obligations owed to him as a shareholder of certain notes
Dr. Phillip Frost, biotech billionaire and former chairman of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services, filed suit against his old company late last month to stop its planned merger with Advisor Group
Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger Jan
A Securities and Exchange Commission filing reported Frost
Frost and his trust sold the majority of his stake in Ladenburg Thalmann a year ago for some $130 million
including $51 million in cash and $76 million in notes issued to Frost and the trusts paying 7.25% annual interest and due in 2028
Frost relinquished his stock options in the company
It's not clear from the filing how the proposed merger changes the financial arrangement with Frost
to revoke the transaction with the company and an injunction against the merger
Frost’s claims are without merit and we intend to defend them vigorously
we will not be commenting further at this time," said a spokesman for Ladenburg
Ladenburg President and CEO Richard Lampen replaced him as chairman
while Chief Operating Officer Adam Malamed joined the board at the time
Frost owned a reported 35% of the company when he stepped down
In November of last year, Advisor Group penned the deal to acquire Ladenburg Thalmann and its five broker/dealers through a cash merger
In mid-December some shareholders of Ladenburg filed two individual lawsuits and one class action suit to block the acquisition
the firm became one of the most aggressive acquirers in the independent space

It’s the story of a woman who is meeting her daughter for the first time in over 10 years
She would urgently like her daughter to hear her version of events
which she knows will be different to the version her daughter has been told by others

which bits she made up and which bits others made up
We watch as she tries to sift through her sleep-deprived memories to come up with a version that will repair their relationship
I was auditioning some prospective students at the drama school I work at

I felt a huge connection to this piece in relation to my experience of motherhood
I commissioned Sophie to write something based on this and she wrote a beautiful poem in iambic pentameter

She is arriving on Friday for our first rehearsal together
the main challenge I’ve had is finding spontaneity in the moment – in the absence of another actor
you have to imagine reactions to what you are saying so that you can react back
Otherwise it becomes a bit like a Ted Talk
I think – people can develop them with little to no budget before presenting them to a producer
so they are an effective format for new work
There will probably be lots of people reading this who are in or have been in the same boat
I hope people will take away a whole load of contradictions from the show
We want to show that there are always different ways of understanding someone’s story – to move away from the chronic ‘goodies vs baddies’ culture that is pervasive at the moment
I hope that mothers will feel seen and understood
I hope that those who aren’t mothers will feel closer to the lived experience of what it means to raise a child under certain conditions in this country
I try to connect to the undercurrent of the human experience

Securities Service Network and KMS Financial Services will be absorbed into Securities America before the end of the year
Six months after acquiring Ladenburg Thalmann and its five broker/dealers in a $1.3 billion deal
Advisor Group will integrate three of those b/ds under the Securities America banner
The move will leave Securities America and Triad Advisors as the only remaining stand-alone firms from the Ladenburg acquisition
The transition should be completed by the end of the year
according to Advisor Group CEO Jamie Price
Price said that much of the business functions of the three b/ds slated to merge—Investacorp
Securities Service Network (SSN) and KMS Financial Services—were already being performed by Securities America’s operations group
Advisor Group will continue to keep its b/ds
SagePoint Financial and Woodbury Financial Services
While the firms under Advisor Group have differing front-office approaches
they run on a shared service model and operate on the same technology platform
Price said Advisor Group wanted to achieve the same result with the Ladenburg firms as quickly as possible
But bringing that shared service model to all five b/ds would have taken until the end of 2022

“It was just going to take way too long to get it onto all the platforms of all the firms,” he said
“So we decided after a lot of planning and thought
and the technology teams getting together and offering multiple game plans
that this would bring the capability set to advisors as fast as we could.”
Other than a small portion of KMS accounts
who said just under 1,000 advisors would be affected by the transition
a managing partner with RLR Financial Partners
said that the realignment would likely help expedite advisors' access to Advisor Group’s technology stack
“I think this will be quite good for advisors and get them what they need
than if they built it out over time,” he said
Price also affirmed that much of the home office staff from the three affected firms would also be brought into Securities America’s operations team
Executives at the three firms remain on board
though Price said it was too early to speculate as to what kind of changes may happen after the integration is complete
“We’ve been extremely impressed with the three company presidents
we think they are a really good cultural fit,” he said
but it will bring benefits on the other side in terms of technology capabilities.”
The total Advisor Group b/d network post-merger includes 11,500 advisors with more than $450 billion in assets
Price expected that they'd be implementing Advisor Group’s shared service model across all the acquired firms
including the eQuipt digital client onboarding system
and the MySuccessionPlan and CyberGuard programs
used for succession planning and cybersecurity
there was no plan to combine any of the acquired b/ds’ brands with those operating under Advisor Group
“There was no rationale for the Advisor Group firms to merge,” he said
there’s no savings or cost reason to do that
Our shared service model takes care of the efficiencies of costs related to having multiple broker/dealers.”
Investacorp will be the first to be integrated into Securities America in the middle of July
followed by SSN in September and KMS in November
there are no plans for any further restructuring
one of the most significant changes will be the loss of the three firms’ brand identities
as they are subsumed into Securities America
which works with advisors during recruitment and transition into IBDs and RIAs nationwide
affirmed that Advisor Group’s approach would enable the company to introduce its tech platform to the most advisors as quickly as possible and said while there would be some advisors who would be loyal to a brand identity
Nash suspected that loyalties advisors may have to the three firms can be carried over to Securities America
and the advantages of being a part of Securities would overwhelm any perceived loss
“What I have found is advisors in general are the most loyal to themselves and clients
“People are loyal in general...but when advisors prioritize loyalties
And the brand will be the next down the list."
said advisors entering the Securities fold from the three firms should see some lift
in terms of tech efficiency and the benefit of Securities America’s back office and support staff
and he said one of the most important aspects of ensuring advisors remain onboard during the shift could be about retaining personnel
Price said the impact of the spread of COVID-19 had affected their thoughts on how to move forward with the combination
He said business had increased since the start of the crisis
noting that Advisor Group’s new account openings were up year over year in March
the fact that Securities America already provides so much operational support for the affected firms should minimize friction for those brands’ advisors
even in the midst of the coronavirus crisis
all that would be necessary would be a single client mailing; no positive consent would be required
“While it’s nuanced and it creates more anxiety
I think advisors have recognized we’ve performed so seamlessly
that nothing has changed since the work-from-home and COVID environment,” he said
Roth said that the technology already in place had made it easier for Advisor Group advisors to make the transition into a remote working environment
and he said the company also benefited from the back-office operations
going smoother than many may have anticipated at the start of the crisis
bring their handheld tech to advisors across all firms
I think the connectivity at the client level will be better,” he said

Phillip Frost has stepped down from his position as chairman of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services
one of the largest independent broker/dealer networks with some 4,300 advisors
The board has replaced him with Richard Lampen
executive vice president and chief operating officer
“I have decided to retire from the Ladenburg Board and will concentrate my efforts on OPKO Health and my philanthropic interests,” Frost said in a statement
I am confident in Ladenburg’s outlook and look forward to its continued growth and success.”
said Frost’s statement was an indication that he would not divest his 35 percent stake in the company
Barrington analysts Alexander Paris and Chris Howe reiterated their “outperform” rating on the company
writing that the firm trades at 0.6 times their 2018 revenue estimate
trading at 1.3 times consensus 2018 revenue estimates
“We believe [Frost] is doing the right thing for the company
as the risk to Ladenburg’s reputation and brand is too great
given recent SEC allegations of securities fraud
to continue his association with the company
despite our confidence/optimism that he will ultimately be vindicated as the process plays out,” the analysts write
Barrington says Ladenburg has a strong financial position
with $390 million in book value and nearly $250 million in cash
A spokesman for Ladenburg did not return a request for comment by press time
home to five broker/dealers and some 4,700 advisors
and has hired Jefferies to advise on the process of exploring its options
according to sources within the investment banking community
Sources noted that this will most likely be an acquisition by a private equity firm that either already owns a firm within the space
or is interested in entering the space in a major way
it would most certainly be in the form of a change of ownership and taken private; it would not likely be sold in pieces
sources in the investment banking community said
though it has pared back some of those gains and is still off its 52-week high
A spokesperson for Ladenburg Thalmann could not be reached for comment
In an email sent out to its financial advisors
President and CEO Dick Lampen addressed the story
saying the company could not comment on market rumors or speculation
But Lampen assured advisors of its continued commitment to them and their clients
and he said its open architecture platform and multiple clearing/custody approach would remain intact
The fact that multiple clearing and custody partners has been a central part of Ladenburg’s value proposition to its financial advisors means the likelihood of a player like LPL Financial or Ameriprise emerging as a buyer is essentially zero
sources within the investment banking community added
Lampen also told advisors that if the firm had something to announce
“you will hear about it directly from us.”
“If you are asked about this news by your clients
you can assure them that it is business as usual,” he wrote
“We will continue to provide the exceptional solutions and service you
Lampen also stressed the firm’s growth and performance since its acquisition of Securities America in 2011
Ladenburg has strategically acquired large independent broker/dealers over the years; it now has five b/ds
Valuations for independent broker/dealer firms have been rising
president of the recruiting firm Henschen & Associates in Marine on St
we’ll never get a better price on these broker/dealers than we would now
So take the money and run,’” Henschen said
He added that Ladenburg has been around since the 1890s
so they’re very slow and deliberate about moves they make
But a wholesale change of ownership like this one could really shake the reps
“They’ve kind of painted themselves as one of the sanctuaries of stability in our industry
