|
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source or Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Prior to the initial public offering of the Issuer (the IPO), the Reporting Persons beneficially owned equity interests in Virtu Financial, LLC (Virtu Financial). As part of the reorganization of the Issuer prior to its IPO, the Reporting Persons equity interests were reclassified into common units of Virtu Financial, they acquired non-economic shares of Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock of the Issuer and were granted the right to exchange the common units of Virtu Financial and shares of common stock of the Issuer for shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock of the Issuer. As a result, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 94,469,216 shares of Class A Common Stock upon completion of the IPO. Subsequent to the Issuers IPO, Vincent Viola, Michael Viola and TJMT purchased an aggregate of 1,205,752 shares of Class A Common Stock on the open market with personal funds and working capital and Vincent Viola and Michael Viola received from the Issuer an aggregate of 1,417,500 options exercisable for Class A Common Stock.
No part of the purchase price of the above transactions was represented by funds or other consideration borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the securities.
CUSIP No. 928254101 |
SCHEDULE 13D |
|
As previously disclosed by the Issuer, on July 20, 2017, the Issuer completed its acquisition (the Acquisition) of Virtu KCG Holdings LLC (formerly known as KCG Holdings, Inc.). In connection with financing the consideration for the Acquisition, the Issuer entered into (i) an investment agreement (the Temasek Investment Agreement) with Aranda Investments Pte. Ltd. (Temasek), pursuant to which the Issuer issued to Temasek 6,346,155 shares of Class A Common Stock and, pursuant to a letter agreement, dated July 19, 2017, by and between the Issuer and Temasek, the Issuer expects to issue to Temasek an additional 1,666,666 shares of Class A Common Stock no later than October 6, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain regulatory conditions and there being no law or injunction restraining, enjoining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting such issuance (collectively, the Temasek Investment), and (ii) an investment agreement (as amended, the NIH Investment Agreement) with North Island Holdings I, LP (NIH), pursuant to which the Issuer issued to NIH 39,725,979 shares of Class A Common Stock and, pursuant to a letter agreement, dated July 19, 2017, by and between the Issuer and NIH, the Issuer expects to issue to NIH an additional 338,124 shares of Class A Common Stock no later than October 6, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain regulatory conditions and there being no law or injunction restraining, enjoining, making illegal or otherwise prohibiting such issuance (collectively, the NIH Investment and, together with the Temasek Investment, the Investments). As further described in Item 6 hereof, TJMT entered into a Stockholders Agreement with Temasek and NIH that became effective upon the closing of the Acquisition.
As noted in Item 5 below, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be in a group with NIH for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
As a result of the Reporting Persons stock ownership, Mr. Vincent Violas position as Chairman Emeritus and a member of the Board and Mr. Michael Violas position as a member of the Board, the Reporting Persons are in a position to influence the management and policies of the Issuer and to influence the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval. 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 Class D Common Stock and therefore can approve or disapprove any matter requiring a majority vote of the Issuers stockholders. For example, as a holder of the Class D Common Shares, TJMT approved the issuance of Class A Common Stock in connection with the Investments.
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 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 Person now owns or may hereafter acquire, including sales pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement described in Item 6 hereto, 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 Issuers securities; (iv) cause or seek to cause the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries to acquire all or a portion of another persons assets or business, including
CUSIP No. 928254101 |
SCHEDULE 13D |
|
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 its 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 Issuers or any of its subsidiaries capitalization, indebtedness or holding company arrangements; (vii) make personnel changes to the present management or the Board of the Issuer 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 Issuers 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 hereof, no Reporting Person or any individual otherwise identified in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D has any present plans or proposals requiring disclosure under Item 4(a)-(j) of this Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and percentages of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.
(b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
Because of the relationship between TJMT and NIH as a result of the Stockholders Agreement pursuant to which TJMT has agreed to take all necessary action, including voting all of its shares of capital stock of the Issuer, or providing written consent, to cause the election of the directors nominated by NIH, as further described in Item 6 hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act, to beneficially own an additional 39,725,979 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represents the shares of Class A Common Stock held by NIH. 39,725,979 shares of Class A Common Stock represents 21.8% of the total number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock (assuming that there is a total of 182,150,593 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, which is the sum of (i) 88,452,589 shares of Class A Common Stock that were issued and outstanding, as reported in the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 21, 2017, (ii) 12,670,014 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of the 12,670,014 Virtu Financial Units and an equal number of shares of Class C Common Stock, each of which is held by Employee Holdco, for shares of Class B Common Stock, (iii) 79,610,490 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon (x) the exchange of the 79,610,490 Virtu Financial Units and an equal number of shares of Class D Common Stock, each of which is held by TJMT, for shares of Class B Common Stock and (y) the conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock) and (iv) 1,417,500 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying vested and
CUSIP No. 928254101 |
SCHEDULE 13D |
|
exercisable options or options becoming vested and exercisable within 60 days held by Vincent Viola and Michael Viola.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons declare that filing this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities described in this Schedule 13D as being held by NIH.
(c) Except as set forth in this Item 5, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, any person named in Item 2 hereof, has effected any transaction in shares of Class A Common Stock during the past 60 days.
(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons identified in this Item 5, other than, with respect to the securities held directly by NIH and its affiliates.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Stockholders Agreement
On April 20, 2017, in connection with entering into the Temasek Investment Agreement and NIH Investment Agreement, the Issuer entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the Stockholders Agreement) with TJMT, Temasek, Havelock Fund Investments Pte Ltd. (an affiliate of Temasek) (Havelock and, together with Temasek, the Temasek Entities) and NIH. The provisions of the Stockholders Agreement summarized below took effect at the closing of the Acquisition.
Under the Stockholders Agreement, TJMT has agreed to take all necessary action, including voting all of its shares of capital stock of the Issuer, or providing written consent, to cause the election of the directors nominated by NIH pursuant to the NIH Investment Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. Further, TJMT has agreed, for so long as NIH is entitled to nominate a director, to take all necessary action, including voting its shares of capital stock of the Issuer, to ensure that the provisions in respect of corporate opportunities and director and officer indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses set forth in the Issuers certificate of incorporation and by-laws are not amended, modified or supplemented in any manner without NIHs prior written consent. To the extent TJMT transfers any of its shares to an affiliated transferee, that transferee would also be bound by the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. TJMTs obligations pursuant to NIHs director nomination right will automatically terminate upon the termination of NIHs right to appoint directors pursuant to the NIH Investment Agreement.
The Stockholders Agreement also grants the Temasek Entities and NIH tag-along rights, subject to customary exceptions, in connection with a transfer of shares by TJMT that are subject
CUSIP No. 928254101 |
SCHEDULE 13D |
|
to cutback provisions on a pro rata basis (in each case calculated based on a fully exchanged and converted to Class A Common Stock basis).
The foregoing description of the Stockholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholders Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
On April 20, 2017, in connection with the Investments, the Issuer, TJMT, the Temasek Entities, NIH and certain direct or indirect equityholders of the Issuer entered into the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement). The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement grants the parties certain demand and other registration rights. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement took effect at the closing of the Acquisition.
Subject to several exceptions, including certain specified underwriter cutbacks and the Issuers right to defer a demand registration under certain circumstances, TJMT, the Temasek Entities and NIH may require that the Issuer register for public resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, all common stock of the Issuer constituting registrable securities that they request be registered at any time so long as the securities requested to be registered in each registration statement have an aggregate estimated market value of at least $50 million. Under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer is not obligated to effectuate more than seven demand registrations for TJMT, more than four demand registrations for NIH or more than three demand registrations for the Temasek Entities. TJMT, the Temasek Entities and NIH also have the right to require the Issuer to register the sale of the registrable securities held by them on a registration statement on Form S-3, subject to offering size and other restrictions. In addition, the Issuer is required to file a shelf registration statement for the registrable securities, and cause such shelf registration statement to become effective, within one year after the earlier of the closing of the Temasek Investment and the NIH Investment.
If TJMT, the Temasek Entities or NIH make a request for registration, the non-requesting parties to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement are entitled to piggyback registration rights in connection with the request. If such request is for an underwritten offering, the piggyback registration rights are subject to underwriter cutback provisions. In addition, the parties to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement are entitled to piggyback registration rights with respect to any registration initiated by the Issuer or another stockholder, and if any such registration is in the form of an underwritten offering, such piggyback registration rights are subject to underwriter cutback provisions.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, NIH will have no registration rights until after the first anniversary of the closing of the NIH Investment and during such period NIH shall be deemed to be an Excluded Party (as defined in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with certain cutback provisions (unless TJMT exercises its registration rights under the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, in which case NIH will have the right to exercise its registration rights).

In connection with the registrations described above, the Issuer will indemnify any selling stockholders and the Issuer will bear all fees, costs and expenses (except underwriting commissions and discounts and fees and expenses of the selling stockholders and their internal and similar costs (other than the fees and expenses of a single law firm representing the selling stockholders)).
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Lock-up Waivers Agreement
On April 20, 2017, in connection with the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, Mr. Viola, TJMT, Employee Holdco, the Issuer, the Temasek Entities, NIH and the other parties thereto entered into the Amended and Restated Lock-up Waivers Agreement (the Amended and Restated Lock-up Waivers Agreement). The Amended and Restated Lock-up Waivers Agreement governs any underwriter lock-ups to which TJMT, the Temasek Entities and NIH are subject, and the priority on release of such lock-ups. The Amended and Restated Lock-up Waivers Agreement took effect at the closing of the Acquisition.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Lock-up Waivers Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Lock-up Waivers Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.4 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ii. the Temasek Entities and their Transferees (when none of such persons is the Requesting Party) shall be released with respect to a number of Equity Interests, in the aggregate, equal to 0.5 times the number of Viola Released Equity Interests; provided that if the North Island Entity and their Transferees hold a number of Equity Interests that is, in the aggregate, less than 0.5 times the number of Viola Released Equity Interests, then the Temasek Entities and their Transferees shall be released with respect to an additional number of Equity Interests equal to the difference between (x) 0.5 times the number of Viola Released Equity Interests and (y) the number of Equity Interests held by the North Island Entity and their Transferees;
iii. the Viola Entities and their Transferees (when none of such persons is the Requesting Party) shall be released with respect to a number of Equity Interests, in aggregate, equal to the aggregate number of Investor Released Equity Interests; and
iv. each Stockholder (other than the North Island Entity, Temasek Entities and the Viola Entities) and its Transferees shall be released with respect to a number of Equity Interests, in the aggregate, equal to (x) the greater of the North Island Percentage and the Temasek Percentage multiplied by (y) the number of Equity Interests beneficially owned by such Stockholder and its Transferees immediately prior to the date hereof.
B. If the Requesting Party is an Other Party or a Transferee of an Other Party, then:
1. Subject to Section 2(b)(ii)C, each Other Party and their Transferees shall be released with respect to a number of Equity Interests, in the aggregate, equal to the Requesting Party Percentage multiplied by the number of Equity Interests beneficially owned by such Other Party and its Transferees immediately prior to the date hereof;
2. Subject to Section 2(b)(ii)C, the North Island Entity and their Transferees shall be released with respect to a number of Equity Interests, in the aggregate, equal to the Requesting Party Percentage multiplied by the aggregate number of Equity Interests beneficially owned by the North Island Entity immediately prior to the date hereof;
3. Subject to Section 2(b)(ii)C, the Temasek Entities and their Transferees shall be released with respect to a number of Equity Interests, in the aggregate, equal to the Requesting Party Percentage multiplied by the aggregate number of Equity Interests beneficially owned by Temasek Entities immediately prior to the date hereof;

For the duration of the Tier 1 Lock-up Period, the Viola Entities and their Transferees shall be released with respect to a number of Equity Interests, in the aggregate, equal to the greater of (i) 2.0 times the number of Equity Interests released with respect to the North Island Entity and their Transferees, in the aggregate, and (iii) 2.0 times the number of Equity Interests released with respect to the Temasek Entities and their Transferees, in the aggregate; and
5. For the purposes of the calculations in Sections 2(b)(ii)B.4 above, the number of Equity Interests deemed released with respect to the North Island Entity, the Temasek Entities and their respective Transferees shall, in each case, be no greater than the number of Equity Interests then owned by such persons.
C. For the duration of the Tier 2 Lock-up Period, each Stockholder and such Stockholders Transferees shall be released with respect to a number of Equity Interests pro rata on the basis of the relative number of fully vested Equity Interests then owned by such Stockholder and such Stockholders Transferees.
(iii) Any Stockholder obtaining a Concurrent Release shall, promptly (and in any event, within one business day) and prior to transferring any Securities in reliance upon such Concurrent Release, notify the Company in writing of the terms of such Concurrent Release and provide a copy thereof to the Company.
(iv) Upon receipt of the notice set forth in Section 2(b)(iii) above, the Company shall, promptly (and in any event, within one business day), notify each Stockholder and its Lock-up Transferees or Transferees, as applicable, in writing of the Concurrent Release and its terms, together with a copy thereof. Upon notice that a Concurrent Release has been granted, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable take all necessary actions to permit the transfer of Securities by the Stockholders and their Lock-up Transferees or Transferees, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Concurrent Release.
(v) If the application of Section 2(b)(ii) would, in the absence of this Section 2(b)(v), result in the Requesting Party having to seek a waiver in respect of a fractional number of Equity Interests, such number shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Equity Interest.
3. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be modified, amended or waived only with the written approval of the Company, the North Island Entity (so long as any North
Island Entity beneficially owns any Equity Interests), the Temasek Entities (so long as any Temasek Entity beneficially owns any Equity Interests) and the Viola Entities; provided, however, that any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement that would affect any other Party hereto in a manner materially and disproportionately adverse to such Party relative to the North Island Entity or the Viola Entities shall be effective against such Party so materially and adversely affected only with the prior written consent of such Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The failure of any Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
4. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the North Island Entity and the Temasek Entities and their respective Transferees ceasing to own any Equity Interests.
5. Notices. All notices to any Party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission and electronic mail (e-mail) transmission, so long as a receipt of such e-mail is requested and not received by automated response). All such notices, requests and other communications to any Party hereunder shall be given to such Party at the address, facsimile number or e-mail address set forth by such Party on the signature pages hereto or at such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as such Party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other Parties. Each Stockholder shall cause each of its Lock-up Transferees and Transferees to provide a written notice to the Parties specifying an address, facsimile number or e-mail for the purpose of delivering notice to such Lock-up Transferee or Transferee, as applicable.
6. Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other Party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as any other Party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the Parties hereunder.
7. Entire Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement (including all of the exhibits hereto) embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and preempts any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
8. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of any other State.
9. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed,
construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
10. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile, e-mail or .pdf format signature(s).
11. Effectiveness of Amendments. This Agreement and the amendments contemplated herein shall not take effect until the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement becomes effective. Pending such effectiveness, the Existing Lock-up Waivers Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. If the North Island Investment Agreement and the Temasek Investment Agreement are terminated prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby for any reason, this Agreement shall have no effect and the Existing Lock-up Waivers Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
