SCHEDULE 13D

Page 7 of 13

This Amendment No. 4 (this “Amendment”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 31, 2017, by Mr. Vincent Viola, Virtu Employee Holdco LLC (“Employee Holdco”), TJMT Holdings LLC (“TJMT”), Mr. Michael T. Viola and Mrs. Teresa Viola (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), relating to the Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Virtu Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

Items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

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

As described in Item 5(c) of this Amendment, on May 6, 2020, TJMT entered into that certain Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Anthony Manganiello (the “Seller”) to acquire at the Closing (as defined below) all of Seller’s 216,680 non-voting common interest units of Virtu Financial LLC (“Virtu Financial Units”) and an equal number of shares of the Issuer’s Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class C Common Stock”), for a per share purchase price to be agreed upon at or prior to Closing (as defined below), which amount shall not be less than the average of the volume weighted average prices for shares of the Class A Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days following the date on which the Issuer publicly announces its earnings results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, currently expected to occur on May 7, 2020. The aggregate purchase price for the securities acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquired Shares”) will be payable in immediately available funds at the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”), which amount will be funded by TJMT’s cash on hand.

No part of the purchase price of the transactions reported by this Amendment was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the securities.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

As described in Item 5(c) of this Amendment, on May 6, 2020, TJMT entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Seller to acquire at the Closing the Acquired Shares.

Following the acquisition, TJMT continues to beneficially own the majority of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock of the Issuer as a result of holding shares of the Issuer’s Class D common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class D Common Stock”) and therefore can approve or disapprove any matter requiring a majority vote of the Issuer’s stockholders. As a result of the Reporting Persons’ stock ownership, Mr. Vincent Viola’s positions as Chairman Emeritus and a member of the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) and Mr. Michael T. Viola’s position as a member of the Board, the Reporting Persons continue to be in a position to influence the management and policies of the Issuer and to influence the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval.

In the future, from time to time and at any time, the Reporting Persons may (i) in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, acquire additional securities of the Issuer, including in acquisitions from affiliates of the Reporting Persons; (ii) dispose of or transfer all or a portion of the securities of the Issuer that the Reporting Persons now own or may hereafter acquire, including sales pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of April 20, 2017, by and among the Issuer, TJMT, the Temasek Entities (as defined below), Ordinal (as defined below) and the additional holders named therein, to any person or entity, including dispositions to affiliates of the Reporting Persons; (iii) enter into derivative transactions with institutional counterparties with respect to the Issuer’s securities; (iv) cause or seek to cause the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries to acquire all or a portion of another person’s assets or business, including in acquisitions from affiliates of the Reporting Persons; (v) cause or seek to cause the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries to enter into one or more acquisitions, business combinations or mergers or to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Issuer’s assets or business to any person or entity, including acquisitions, business combinations, mergers, sales, transfers and other dispositions with or to affiliates of the Reporting Persons; (vi) restructure the Issuer’s or any of its subsidiaries’ capitalization, indebtedness or holding company arrangements; (vii) make personnel changes to the present management or the Board deemed necessary or desirable; (viii) pledge securities of the Issuer to secure obligations of the Reporting Persons; (ix) make or propose any other material change in the Issuer’s or any of its subsidiaries’ corporate structure or business; or (x) engage in communications with one or more stockholders or officers or directors of the Issuer and other persons regarding any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) above.

Except as described above in this Item 4 and in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, which Item is incorporated herein by reference, no Reporting Person or any individual otherwise identified in this Schedule 13D has any present plans or proposals requiring disclosure under Item 4(a)-(j) of this Schedule 13D.
