Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 21, 2010, GFI Group Inc., GFInet inc. and GFI Newgate Limited (collectively “GFI”) and The Kyte Group Limited and Kyte Capital Management Limited (together, “Kyte”) entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which GFI will acquire 70% of the equity interests in Kyte for a purchase price of £38.3 million, subject to certain closing adjustments described below. The purchase price will be comprised of approximately £22.4 million in cash, financed from GFI’s internal cash resources, and shares of common stock, par value $.01, of GFI Group Inc. (“Common Stock”) with an approximate value of £15.9 million. Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, the final purchase price will be subject to various adjustments, based on the price of the Common Stock and the amount of Kyte’s surplus capital at closing as well as the satisfaction of certain legal, financial and other criteria. The transaction, which has been approved by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), is expected to close in July 2010 upon satisfaction of certain customary conditions.

Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, GFI will purchase the remaining 30% equity interest in Kyte for a further cash payment, which will be calculated based on the performance of Kyte during the three year-period ending on June 30, 2013.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued as part of the purchase price under the Share Purchase Agreement will be determined based on a formula calculated as of the date prior to closing. Once the number of shares has been determined, the Company will file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K to state the exact number of shares issued.

The issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement is exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering.
