Messrs. Brown and Licursi are both citizens of the United States and Mr. Brown is a director of the Issuer. Long Ridge LP is a Delaware limited partnership and Long Ridge LLC is a Delaware limited liability company.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Immediately prior to its pro rata distribution to its partners on January 16, 2012 (the “Long Ridge LP Distribution”), Long Ridge LP beneficially owned 2,096,364 units of FXCM Holdings LLC (“FXCM Holdings”), each of Long Ridge LLC and Mr. Licursi beneficially owned 3,030,922 units of FXCM Holdings, and Mr. Brown beneficially owned 3,950,652 units of FXCM Holdings. These units were received in a reclassification of the outstanding limited liability company interests of FXCM Holdings effected prior to the initial public offering of the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. Following the Long Ridge LP Distribution, Long Ridge LP beneficially owned no securities of the Issuer, Long Ridge LLC beneficially owned 1,361,173 units of FXCM Holdings (including 426,615 units of FXCM Holdings it received in the Long Ridge LP Distribution), Mr. Licursi beneficially owned 1,361,173 units of FXCM Holdings and Mr. Brown beneficially owned 2,280,903 units of FXCM Holdings.

As a holder exchanges its units of FXCM Holdings, the Issuer's interest in FXCM Holdings will be correspondingly increased. The foregoing summary of the Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of Exhibit 1 hereto.

As a result of the Exchange Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the units of FXCM Holdings reported herein on October 8, 2011, which is the day that is 60 days prior to December 7, 2011.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

All of the securities reported herein were acquired for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis the investment in the Issuer. Based on such review, the Reporting Persons may acquire, or cause to be disposed, such securities at any time or formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting Persons, the Issuer’s business, financial condition and operating results, general market and industry conditions or other factors.

In his capacity as a director of the Issuer, Mr. Brown may take an active role in working with the Issuer’s management on operational, financial and strategic initiatives.
