Common Stock To Be Owned After Common Stock the Offering Owned Prior To Shares To ----------------------- Name and Positions(1) the Offering(2) Be Sold Number Percent - -------------------- -------------- ------- ------ ------- Scott P. Mason 1,224,963 1,000,000 224,963 1.2% President, Chief Execu- tive Officer and Direc- tor of the Company
(1) Mr. Mason has been the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since January, 1997, and has been a director of the Company since March 1994. Mr. Mason was previously the Edmund Cogswell Converse Professor of Finance and Banking and the Chairman of the Finance Area at the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration, where he was a professor from 1978 through 1996. He was a consultant to the Company and predecessors from 1987 through 1996, and has been a director of ITG since 1992. (2) Shares issuable to the Selling Stockholder upon exercise of options granted by the Company are included, whether or not such options are presently exercisable. The Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be an "affiliate" of the Company, as that term is defined under the Securities Act. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholder (or by his pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest). In addition to any such amount sold hereunder, the Selling Stockholder may, at the same time, sell any shares of Common Stock owned by him pursuant to the exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, regardless of whether such shares are Shares covered by this Prospectus. Such sales may be made in the Nasdaq National Market, otherwise in the over-the-counter market, on one or more securities exchanges, or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: (a) a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transactions; (b) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer - 6 - 11 for its account pursuant to this Prospectus; (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; (d) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; and (e) face-to-face transactions between sellers and purchases without a broker-dealer. In effecting sales of the Shares, broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for the participation of other broker-dealers. Broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholder in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale. Such broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of Shares positioned by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Sales may be effected on behalf of the Selling Stockholder by Jefferies & Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Jefferies Group, Inc., the Company's parent. In such case, Jefferies & Company, Inc. will do no more than execute the order or orders to sell the Shares as agent for the Selling Stockholder, and will receive no more than the usual and customary broker's commission. The amount of such sales, if any, is not currently determinable. Once the Company has been notified by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker-dealer, a supplement to this Prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, disclosing (a) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and the participating broker-dealer(s); (b) the number of Shares involved; (c) the price at which such Shares were sold; (d) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable; (e) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus (as supplemented); and (f) other facts material to the transaction. There is no assurance that the Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the Shares offered hereby. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the offering and sale of the Shares to the public other than commissions and discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents. - 7 - 12 INDEMNIFICATION Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company's Bylaws provide for the indemnification under certain conditions of directors, officers, employees or agents. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's ByLaws or otherwise, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. - 8 - 13 PART II INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT AND NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference The following documents of Investment Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement: (a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in this Registration Statement or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified shall not be deemed in its unmodified form, and any statement so superseded shall not be deemed, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement. II - 1 14 Item 4. Description of Securities Not applicable. Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel Not applicable. Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers The Company's By-laws provide that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding (i) if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii), with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. In actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, a corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner which that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which that person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or other such court shall deem proper. To the extent that such person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defending any such action, suit or proceeding referred to above or any claim, issue II - 2 15 or matter therein, he or she is entitled to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 is not exclusive of any other rights of indemnification or advancement of expenses to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled, and a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance against liabilities asserted against any former or current director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise whether or not the power to indemnify is provided by the statute. Article Seven of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company's directors will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors except (i) for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (involving certain unlawful dividends or stock repurchases) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company's directors and officers are covered by insurance policies insuring against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, which might be incurred by them in such capacity. Item 7. Exemption from Registration Not applicable. II - 3 16 Item 8. Exhibits Exhibit Description - ------- ----------- (4)(a) Certificate of Incorporation of the Company is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.1 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, Number 33-76474, filed with the Commission on March 15, 1994 (the "Form S-1 Registration Statement"). (4)(b) By-laws of the Company are incorporated by reference to Exhibit 3.2 to the Form S-1 Registration Statement, filed with the Commission on March 15, 1994. (5) Opinion of Steven C. Root, Esq., with respect to the legality of securities being registered. (15) Not applicable. (23)(a) Consent of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP. (23)(b) Consent of Steven C. Root, Esq. (included in Exhibit 5). (24) Powers of Attorney (included on Pages II-7 and II-8 of this Registration Statement). (25) Not applicable. (27) Not applicable. (28) Not applicable. (99) Not applicable. Item 9. Undertakings (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: II - 4 17 (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement. (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report II - 5 18 pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II - 6 19 Signatures Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on April 30, 1997.

In connection with this opinion, I have examined the Registration Statement, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, certain of the Company's corporate proceedings as reflected in its minute books, the Plans and Director Options, and such other records as I have deemed relevant. In my examinations, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies. In addition, I have made such other examinations of law and fact as I have deemed appropriate in order to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. 2 Investment Technology Group, Inc.

I render this opinion as a member of the Bars of the District of Columbia and the State of New Hampshire. The opinion set forth above is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended. I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement. In giving such opinion and consent, I do not thereby admit that I am acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
