"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"), including, among other things, (a)
difficulties and delays in integrating the Knight and GETCO businesses or fully realizing cost savings and other benefits, (b) the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth, and (c) customer and client reactions
to the Mergers; (ii) the August 1, 2012 technology
issue that resulted in Knight's broker-dealer subsidiary sending numerous erroneous orders in NYSE-listed and NYSE Arca securities into the market and the impact to Knight's business as well as actions taken in response thereto and
consequences thereof; (iii) the sales of KCG's
reverse mortgage origination and securitization business, KCG's futures commission merchant and KCG Hotspot; (iv) changes in market structure, legislative, regulatory or financial reporting rules, including the increased focus by regulators, the New
York Attorney General, Congress 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, 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 completion of the
tender offer commenced by KCG on May 4, 2015.
The list above is not exhaustive. Readers should carefully review the risks and uncertainties disclosed in KCG's reports with the SEC, including, without limitation, those detailed under "Risk Factors" in KCG's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year- ended
