Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 1, 2011, a Stipulation of Dismissal with Prejudice (the “Dismissal”) was filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Dismissal was based on a class action lawsuit filed on March 3, 2011 against FXCM Inc., as well as certain officers and directors of the Company and three underwriters in its IPO (the “Defendants”). The lawsuit asserted claims under Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act and alleged false or misleading statements in the IPO prospectus regarding the Company’s business model and trading platforms, and sought an unspecified amount of damages on behalf of persons who purchased Class A common stock in the IPO. As a result of the Dismissal, all claims asserted by Plaintiff against Defendants were dismissed with prejudice.
