Safe Harbor Certain statements contained herein may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe
harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as believe, expect, anticipate, intend, target, estimate, continue,
positions, prospects or potential, by future conditional verbs such as will, would, should, could or may, or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. These
forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about KCG's industry, management's beliefs and certain
assumptions made by management, many of which, by
their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Any forward-looking statement contained herein speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance
and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict including, without limitation, risks associated with: (i) the strategic business combination (the Mergers) of Knight Capital Group, Inc.
(Knight) and GETCO Holding Company, LLC
(GETCO); (ii) difficulties and delays in fully realizing cost savings and other benefits of the Mergers and the inability to manage trading strategy performance and sustain revenue and earnings growth; (iii) the sale of KCG Hotspot; (iv) changes in market
structure, legislative, regulatory or financial
reporting rules, including the increased focus by Congress, federal and state regulators, the SROs and the media on market structure issues, and in particular, the scrutiny of high frequency trading, alternative trading systems, market
fragmentation, colocation, access to market data
feeds, and remuneration arrangements such as payment for order flow and exchange fee structures; (v) past or future changes to KCG's organizational structure and management; (vi) KCG's ability to develop competitive new products and services in a
timely manner and the acceptance of such products
and services by KCG's customers and potential customers; (vii) KCG's ability to keep up with technological changes; (viii) KCG's ability to effectively identify and manage market risk, operational and technology risk (such as the events
that affected Knight on August 1, 2012), legal risk,
liquidity risk, reputational risk, counterparty and credit risk, international risk, regulatory risk, and compliance risk; (ix) the cost and other effects of material contingencies, including litigation contingencies, and any adverse judicial,
administrative or arbitral rulings or proceedings;
(x) the effects of increased competition and KCG's ability to maintain and expand market share; and (xi) the announced plan to relocate KCGs global headquarters from Jersey City, NJ to New York, NY. The list above is not exhaustive. Because
forward looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, the actual results and performance of KCG may materially differ from the results expressed or implied by such statements. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements. Unless otherwise required by law, KCG
also disclaims any obligation to update its view of any such risks or uncertainties or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to the forward-looking statements made herein. Readers should carefully review the risks and uncertainties
disclosed in KCGs reports with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including those detailed under Certain Factors Affecting Results of Operations in the MD&A and in Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of KCG 's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014, and in other reports or documents
KCG files with, or furnishes to, the SEC from time to time. This information should be read in conjunction with KCGs Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto contained in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter-ended June
30, 2015, and in other reports or documents KCG
files with, or furnishes to, the SEC from time to time.
