FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to the historical information contained throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements regarding our expectations related to our future financial position, results of operations, revenues, cash flows, dividends, financing plans, business and product strategies, competitive positions, as well as the plans and objectives of management for future operations, and all expectations concerning securities markets, client trading and economic trends are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology.

Although we believe our expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions and beliefs, and on information currently available to our management, there can be no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements herein include, among others, general economic, business, credit, political and financial market conditions, both internationally and domestically, financial market volatility, fluctuations in market trading volumes, effects of inflation, adverse changes or volatility in interest rates, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, evolving industry regulations and regulatory scrutiny, customers’ reactions to the settlement in August 2015 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings or governmental or regulatory investigations, the volatility of our stock price, changes in tax policy or accounting rules, the actions of both current and potential new competitors, changes in commission pricing, rapid changes in technology, errors or malfunctions in our systems or technology, cash flows into or redemptions from equity mutual funds, ability to meet liquidity requirements related to the clearing of our customers’ trades, customer trading patterns, the success of our products and service offerings, our ability to continue to innovate and meet the demands of our customers for new or enhanced products, our ability to protect our intellectual property, our ability to execute on strategic initiatives or transactions, our ability to attract and retain talented employees and our ability to pay dividends or repurchase our common stock in the future.

Certain of these factors, and other factors, are more fully discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which you are encouraged to read.  Our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K is also available through our website at http://investor.itg.com under “SEC Filings.”

We disclaim any duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the filing of this report to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations and we do not intend to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the filing of this report.

INVESTMENT TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Investment Technology Group, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on July 22, 1983. Its principal subsidiaries include: (1) ITG Inc., AlterNet Securities, Inc. (“AlterNet”) and ITG Derivatives LLC (“ITG Derivatives”), institutional broker-dealers in the United States (“U.S.”), (2) ITG Canada Corp., an institutional broker-dealer in Canada, (3) Investment Technology Group Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Europe, (4) ITG Australia Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Australia, (5) ITG Hong Kong Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Hong Kong, (6) ITG Software Solutions, Inc., the Company’s intangible property, software development and maintenance subsidiary in the U.S., and (7) ITG Solutions Network, Inc., a holding company for ITG Analytics, Inc., a provider of pre- and post-trade analysis, fair value and trade optimization services, and ITG Platforms Inc., a provider of trade order and execution management technology and network connectivity services for the financial community.

ITG applies technology and trading expertise to reduce implementation costs, helping clients improve investment performance. ITG provides liquidity, execution, analytics and workflow solutions to leading asset management and brokerage firms. The firm has offices in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America and offers trading services in more than 50 countries.

The Company’s business is organized into four reportable operating segments (see Note 15, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial statements):

·U.S. Operations

·Canadian Operations

·European Operations

·Asia Pacific Operations

Regional segment results exclude the impact of Corporate activity, which is presented separately and includes investment income and other gains as well as costs not associated with operating the businesses within the Company’s regional segments.  These costs include, among others, (a) the costs of being a public company, such as certain staff costs, a portion of external audit fees, and reporting, filing and listing costs, (b) intangible asset amortization, (c) interest expense, (d) professional fees associated with the Company’s global transfer pricing structure, (e) foreign exchange gains or losses and (f) certain non-operating expenses.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of results.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and does not have an effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(2) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, various methods are used including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability are used, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. Valuation techniques that are used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, fair value measured financial instruments are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

·Level 1: Fair value measurements using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

·Level 2: Fair value measurements using correlation with (directly or indirectly) observable market-based inputs, unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

·Level 3: Fair value measurements using inputs that are significant and not readily observable in the market.

Level 1 consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded mutual funds and listed equities.

Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued based upon observable market-based inputs.

Level 3 is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable.

Fair value measurements for those items measured on a recurring basis are as follows (dollars in thousands):

June 30, 2016	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Cash and cash equivalents:
Money market mutual funds	$	1	$	1	$	—	$	—

Securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value:
Corporate stocks-trading securities	2,637		2,637		—		—
Total	$	2,637	$	2,637	$	—	$	—

Cash and cash equivalents other than bank deposits are measured at fair value and primarily include U.S. government money market mutual funds.

9

Securities owned, at fair value and securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value include corporate stocks, equity index mutual funds and bond mutual funds, all of which are exchange traded.

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Assets and liabilities that are recorded at contracted amounts approximating fair value consist primarily of receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers, clearing organizations and customers. These receivables and payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and customers are short-term in nature, and following June 30, 2016, substantially all have settled at the contracted amounts.

The Company believes the carrying amounts of its term-debt obligations at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 approximate fair value because the interest rates on these instruments change with, or approximate, market interest rates.

(3)  Divestitures

On May 27, 2016, the Company completed the sale of ITG Investment Research, LLC (“Investment Research”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to a wholly owned subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation (“Leucadia”) for $12 million in cash consideration.

Upon completion of the sale, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $20,000 and an after-tax gain of approximately $50,000. The pre-tax gain is recorded in other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The pre-tax gain is net of direct costs to sell Investment Research, including professional fees, cash compensation and the acceleration of previously issued restricted stock unit awards.

The following table summarizes the components of the pre-tax gain (dollars in thousands):

Cash proceeds from sale	$	12,000
Carrying value of net assets disposed	(7,502		)
Direct selling costs	(4,477		)
Pre-tax gain on sale	$	21

As a result of this divestiture, the Company reduced the headcount within its U.S. high-touch sales trading operation.  See Note 4, Restructuring Charges, for more information.

The Company determined that the sale of Investment Research does not meet the requirements to be treated as a discontinued operation. As such, the results of Investment Research through the sale date of May 27, 2016 are included in continued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, primarily in the U.S. Operations segment.

As part of an end-to-end review of its business, the Company has determined that its strategy is to increasingly focus its resources on its core capabilities in execution, liquidity, analytics and workflow solutions. To that end, during the second quarter of 2016, the Company implemented restructuring plans to (i) reduce headcount in its high-touch trading and sales organizations and (ii) close its U.S. matched-book securities lending operations and its Canadian arbitrage trading desk.

(7) Income Taxes

A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

The Company had reserves for unrecognized tax benefits of $15.5 million and $15.6 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company had accrued interest expense related to tax reserves of $3.1 million and $2.8 million, net of related tax effects, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by non-deductible executive compensation expenses that are limited under Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

At June 30, 2016, indefinite-lived intangibles not subject to amortization amounted to $8.9 million, of which $8.4 million related to the POSIT trade name.

Amortization expense for definite-lived intangibles was $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared with $0.8 and $1.6 million in the respective prior-year periods. These amounts are included in other general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of the sale of the investment research operations (see Note 3, Divestitures), $6.7 million of customer-related intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, were disposed of in May 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, no intangibles were deemed impaired, and accordingly, no adjustment was required.

Securities Borrowed and Loaned

In the second quarter 2016, the Company closed its U.S. matched-book securities lending operations.  At June 30, 2016, the only remaining balances for securities borrowed and securities loaned related to customer settlement activities.   The gross amounts of interest earned on cash provided to counterparties as collateral for securities borrowed, and interest incurred on cash received from counterparties as collateral for securities loaned through the wind-down of all balances within the U.S. matched-book operations, and the resulting net amount included in other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Interest earned	$	448		$	1,451		$	2,080		$	2,859
Interest incurred	(185		)	(1,080		)	(1,251		)	(2,126		)
Net	$	263		$	371		$	829		$	733

Deposits paid for securities borrowed and deposits received for securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Deposits paid for securities borrowed transactions require the Company to deposit cash with the lender. With respect to deposits received for securities loaned, the Company receives collateral in the form of cash in an amount generally in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded, as necessary.

The Company’s securities borrowing and lending is generally done under industry standard agreements (“Master Securities Lending Agreements”) that may allow, following an event of default by either party, the prompt close-out of all transactions (including the liquidation of securities held) and the offsetting of obligations to return cash or securities, as the case may be, by the non-defaulting party. Events of default under the Master Securities Lending Agreements generally include, subject to certain conditions: (i) failure to timely deliver cash or securities as required under the transaction, (ii) a party’s insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, (iii) breach of representation, and (iv) a material breach of the agreement. The counterparty that receives the securities in these transactions generally has unrestricted access in its use of the securities.  For financial statement purposes, the Company does not offset securities borrowed and securities loaned.

The following table summarizes the transactions under certain Master Securities Lending Agreements that may be eligible for offsetting if an event of default occurred and a right of offset was legally enforceable (dollars in thousands):

	Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets/ (Liabilities)			Gross Amounts Offset in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition		Net Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition			Collateral Received or Pledged (including Cash)			Net Amount

(11) Borrowings

Short-term Bank Loans

The Company’s international securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash or with short-term bank loans in the form of overdraft facilities.  At June 30, 2016, there was $156.0 million outstanding under these facilities at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 0.4% associated with international settlement activities.

In the U.S., securities clearance and settlement activities are funded with operating cash, securities loaned or with short-term bank loans under a committed credit agreement. ITG Inc., as borrower, and Investment Technology Group, Inc. (“Parent Company”), as guarantor, maintained a $150 million two-year revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, that matured in January 2016. On January 29, 2016, ITG Inc., as borrower, and Parent Company, as guarantor, entered into a new $150 million 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement includes an accordion feature that allows for potential expansion of the facility up to $225 million.

At June 30, 2016, a borrowing of $10.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Agreement at an interest rate of approximately 2.97%. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2015.

The loan principal is payable in twenty quarterly installments of $195,000 beginning in April 2016 and accrues interest at 2.95%.

On August 10, 2012, Parent Company entered into a $25.0 million master lease facility with BMO Harris Equipment Finance Company (“BMO”) to finance equipment and construction expenditures related to the build-out of the Company’s new headquarters in lower Manhattan. The original amount borrowed of $21.2 million has a 3.39% fixed-rate term financing structured as a capital lease with a 48-month term, at the end of which Parent Company may purchase the underlying assets for $1.  At June 30, 2016, there was $6.0 million outstanding under the BMO facility.

On June 1, 2011, Parent Company entered into a $5.0 million master lease facility with Bank of America (“Master Lease Agreement”), under which purchases of new equipment were financed. Each equipment lease under the Master Lease Agreement is structured as a capital lease and has a separate 48-month term from its inception date, at the end of which Parent Company may purchase the underlying equipment for $1. The outstanding balance under this facility was fully paid by June 2016.

There were 7,000 shares underlying equity awards for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 that were outstanding but were anti-dilutive and thus not included in the computation of diluted EPS.

(13) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The components and allocated tax effects of accumulated other comprehensive income for the periods ended June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Deferred taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or the cumulative translation adjustment related to those investments through 2015 since the Company recognized a current tax expense in 2015 on the deemed dividend on all such cumulative undistributed earnings and translation adjustments as part of the amendment to the capital structure of its operations outside of North America. Deferred taxes have not been provided on the cumulative undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries or the cumulative translation adjustment related to those investments for periods after 2015 since there is currently no need to repatriate those funds from certain foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. by way of dividends.

(14) Net Capital Requirement

ITG Inc., AlterNet and ITG Derivatives are subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital.  ITG Inc. has elected to use the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that ITG Inc. maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions, as defined. AlterNet and ITG Derivatives have elected to use the basic method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that they each maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness or $100,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. Dividends or withdrawals of capital cannot be made if capital is needed to comply with regulatory requirements.

Net capital balances and the amounts in excess of required net capital at June 30, 2016 for the U.S. Operations are as follows (dollars in thousands):

(15) Segment Reporting

The Company is organized into four geographic operating segments through which the Company’s chief operating decision maker manages the Company’s business. The U.S., Canadian, European and Asia Pacific Operations segments provide the following categories of products and services:

·Execution Services — includes (a) self-directed trading using algorithms, smart routing and matching through POSIT in cash equities (including single stocks and portfolio lists), futures and options and (b) portfolio trading and high-touch trading desks providing execution expertise

·Workflow Technology — includes trade order and execution management software applications in addition to network connectivity

·Analytics — includes (a) tools enabling portfolio managers and traders to improve pre-trade and real-time execution performance, (b) portfolio construction and optimization decisions and (c) securities valuation

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company allocates resources to, and evaluates the performance of, its reportable segments based on income or loss before income tax expense. Consistent with the Company’s resource allocation and operating performance evaluation approach, the effects of inter-segment activities are eliminated except in limited circumstances where certain technology related costs are allocated to a segment to support that segment’s revenue producing activities. Commissions and fees revenue for trade executions and commission share revenues are principally attributed to each segment based upon the location of execution of the related transaction. Recurring revenues are principally attributed based upon the location of the client using the respective service.

Regional segment results exclude the impact of Corporate activity, which is presented separately and includes investment income and other gains as well as costs not associated with operating the businesses within the Company’s regional segments.  These costs include, among others, (a) the costs of being a public company, such as certain staff costs, a portion of external audit fees, and reporting, filing and listing costs, (b) intangible asset amortization, (c) interest expense, (d) professional fees associated with the Company’s global transfer pricing structure, (e) foreign exchange gains or losses and (f) certain non-operating expenses.

In December 2015 the Company sold its energy research operations and in May 2016 the Company sold its remaining investment research operations,  both of which were within the Research, Sales and Trading (“RS&T”) product group. Beginning in the second quarter 2016, the remaining portfolio trading and high-touch execution offerings, previously grouped within RS&T, were combined with the electronic execution and liquidity solutions, previously grouped with the Electronic Brokerage (“EB”) product group, to form the new Execution Services product group to create better alignment for cross-selling synergies. The entire historic activity of EB and RS&T, including the divested research operations,  has been reclassified to the Execution Services product group to conform to the current presentation. For more information on the sale of the remaining investment research operations, see Note 3, Divestitures.  Also, in July 2016 the Company changed the name of its Platforms product group to Workflow Technology.

(16)        Dividend Program

In 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors initiated a dividend program under which the Company began to pay quarterly dividends, subject to quarterly declarations by the Board of Directors. During the second quarter of 2016, the Board of Directors declared, and the Company paid, a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share totaling $2.4 million, including $0.1 million in stock under the Company’s equity award plans.

(17)Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is a member of various U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and clearing houses that trade and clear, respectively, equities and/or derivative contracts.  Associated with the Company’s membership, the Company may be required to pay a proportionate share of financial obligations of another member who may default on its obligations to the exchanges or the clearing house.  While the rules governing different exchange or clearing house memberships vary, in general, the Company’s obligations would arise only if the exchanges and clearing houses had previously exhausted other remedies. The maximum potential payout under these memberships cannot be estimated. The Company has not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these agreements and believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote. In the ordinary course of business, the Company guarantees obligations of subsidiaries which may arise from third-party clearing relationships and trading counterparties. The activities of the subsidiaries covered by these guarantees are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s customer financing and securities settlement activities may require the Company to pledge customer securities as collateral in support of various secured financing transactions such as bank loans. In the event the financing counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return customer securities pledged as collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its customer obligations. The Company controls this risk by monitoring the market value of securities pledged on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of collateral levels in the event of excess market exposure.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, securities owned at fair value, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and receivables from customers. Cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair value are deposited with high credit quality financial institutions.

18

In connection with customer settlement activities, the Company loans securities temporarily to other brokers. The Company receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the market value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company controls this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis, and by requiring additional cash as collateral or returning collateral when necessary.

The Company also borrows securities temporarily from other brokers in connection with customer settlement activities. The Company deposits cash as collateral for the securities borrowed. Decreases in security prices may cause the market value of the securities borrowed to fall below the amount of cash deposited as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of selling the securities at prevailing market prices. The Company controls this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the collateral values on a daily basis, and by depositing additional collateral with counterparties or receiving cash when deemed necessary.

The Company may at times maintain inventories in equity securities on both a long and short basis. Whereas long inventory positions represent the Company’s ownership of securities, short inventory positions represent obligations of the Company to deliver specified securities at a contracted price, which may differ from market prices prevailing at the time of completion of the transaction. Accordingly, both long and short inventory positions may result in losses or gains to the Company as market values of securities fluctuate. To mitigate the risk of losses, long and short positions are marked to market daily and are continuously monitored by the Company.

(18)  Contingencies — Legal Matters

In October 2015, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Former CEO”) filed a Demand for Arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against the Company. The Former CEO’s statement of claim alleged that the Company breached his employment agreement with the Company by terminating his employment for “cause,” and further alleged that the Company defamed him. The statement of claim sought an award of damages and equity valued in the arbitration demand at $8.0 million, plus an additional $5.0 million in actual and punitive damages with respect to the defamation claim.  On June 19, 2016, the Company and the Former CEO entered into the initial terms of a settlement, which terms were superseded by a Settlement Agreement and General Release, dated as of June 22, 2016 (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which: (i) the Former CEO dismissed with prejudice all claims alleged in the Demand for Arbitration, (ii) the Company paid an aggregate amount of $5.3 million, of which $4.0 million was paid to the Former CEO and $1.3 million was paid to his attorneys to cover their fees and costs, (iii) certain provisions of the Employment Agreement between the former CEO and the Company, dated as of April 20, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”), would continue to apply, including covenants and agreements imposing on the Former CEO certain obligations with respect to confidentiality, intellectual property and non-solicitation, (iv) the Company would continue to indemnify the Former CEO as provided by and subject to the Employment Agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, (v) the parties agreed to mutual non-disparagement obligations, (vi) the Former CEO agreed to cooperate with the Company and generally make himself available in connection with any investigations or legal proceedings involving the Company and (vii) the parties agreed to fully, finally and generally release all claims each party has against the other except for (a) obligations created by or arising out of the Settlement Agreement, (b) claims, defenses or liabilities against the Former CEO based on fraud that are presently unknown, (c) unemployment, state disability, and/or worker’s compensation insurance benefits pursuant to the terms of applicable state law, (d) claims that may relate to Company-sponsored benefit plans or those that cannot be lawfully waived and (e) any claim or right that may arise after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement.  The Company’s insurance carrier has reimbursed the Company for $0.5 million of the settlement amount, resulting in a net charge to the Company of  $4.8 million.  During the three and six month periods ended June 2016, the Company established reserves for this matter of $2.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, and incurred legal fees for this matter of $2.4 million and $2.7 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings other than claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, except putative class action lawsuits and a derivative action have been filed with respect to the Company and certain of its current and former directors and/or executives in connection with the Company’s announcement of the SEC matter described in the following paragraph (and other related actions could be filed).

On August 12, 2015, the Company reached a final settlement with the staff of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC in connection with the SEC’s investigation into a proprietary trading pilot operated within AlterNet for sixteen months in 2010 through mid-2011. The investigation was focused on customer disclosures, Form ATS regulatory filings and customer information controls relating to the pilot’s trading activity, which included (a) crossing against sell-side clients in POSIT and (b) violations of Company policy and procedures by a former employee. These violations principally involved information breaches for a period of several months in 2010 regarding sell-side parent orders flowing into ITG’s algorithms and executions by all customers in non-POSIT

19

markets that were not otherwise available to ITG clients. According to the terms of the settlement, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $20.3 million, representing a civil penalty of $18 million, disgorgement of approximately $2.1 million in trading revenues and prejudgment interest of approximately $0.25 million.

In connection with the announcement of the SEC investigation, two putative class action lawsuits were filed with respect to the Company and certain of its current and former executives and have since been consolidated into a single action captioned In re Investment Technology Group, Inc. Securities Litigation before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made material misrepresentations or omitted to disclose material facts concerning, among other subjects, the matters that were the subject of the SEC settlement regarding AlterNet and the SEC investigation that led to the SEC settlement. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages under the federal securities laws.

On November 27, 2015, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a shareholder derivative action captioned Watterson v. Gasser et al. against eleven current or former officers and directors of the Company in the Supreme Court for the State of New York. The Company is named as a nominal defendant, and the plaintiff purports to seek recovery on its behalf. The complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the matters that were the subject of the SEC settlement regarding AlterNet.

While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings, the Company intends to defend them as appropriate. Other than the reserves established for the settlement of the arbitration with the Former CEO discussed above, no reserve has been established for any of the matters described above since the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any potential liability for these lawsuits and other proceedings given the stage of such proceedings. The Company believes, based on information currently available, that the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not likely have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.  In light of the inherent uncertainties of such proceedings, an adverse outcome of one or more of such proceedings may have a material impact on the results of operations for any particular period.

In addition to the above proceedings, the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to, or involved in, investigations and other proceedings by government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, with respect to which we are cooperating.  This includes inquiries relating to industry practices around the borrowing and lending of certain securities, and related transactions and activities.  The activity with respect to these securities, substantially all of which related to our matched-book operations, was discontinued.  Such investigations and other proceedings may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief.  Given the inherent uncertainties and the current stage of these governmental inquiries, and our ongoing reviews, we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters at this time.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto.

Overview

ITG applies technology and trading expertise to reduce implementation costs, helping clients improve investment performance. ITG provides liquidity, execution, analytics and workflow solutions to leading asset management and brokerage firms. The firm has offices in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America and offers trading services in more than 50 countries.

Our business is organized into four reportable operating segments: U.S. Operations, Canadian Operations, European Operations and Asia Pacific Operations (see Note 15, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Our four operating segments provide the following categories of products and services:

·Execution Services — includes (a) self-directed trading using algorithms, smart routing and matching through POSIT in cash equities (including single stocks and portfolio lists), futures and options and (b) portfolio trading and high-touch trading desks providing execution expertise

·Workflow Technology — includes trade order and execution management software applications in addition to network connectivity

·Analytics — includes (a) tools enabling portfolio managers and traders to improve pre-trade and real-time execution performance, (b) portfolio construction and optimization decisions and (c) securities valuation

20

In December 2015 the Company sold its energy research operations and in May 2016 sold its remaining investment research operations, both of which were within the Research, Sales & Trading (“RS&T”) product group. Beginning in the second quarter 2016, the remaining portfolio trading and high-touch execution offerings, previously grouped within RS&T, were combined with the electronic execution and liquidity solutions, previously grouped within the Electronic Brokerage (“EB”) product group, to form the new Execution Services product group to create better alignment for cross-selling synergies. The entire historic activity of EB and RS&T, including the divested research operations, has been reclassified to the Execution Services product group to conform to the current presentation. For more information on the sale of the remaining investment research operations, see Note 3, Divestitures, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  Also, in July 2016 we changed the name of our Platforms product group to Workflow Technology.

Sources of Revenues

Revenues from our products and services are generated from commissions and fees, recurring (subscriptions) and other sources.

Commissions and fees are derived primarily from (i) commissions charged for trade execution services, (ii) income generated on net executions, whereby equity orders are filled at different prices within or at the National Best Bid and Offer (“NBBO”) and (iii) commission sharing arrangements between ITG Net (our private value-added FIX-based financial electronic communications network) and third-party brokers and alternative trading systems whose trading products are made available to our clients on our order management system (“OMS”) and execution management system (“EMS”) applications in addition to commission sharing arrangements for our ITG Single Ticket Clearing Service and our ITG RFQ-hub request-for-quote service. Because commissions are earned on a per-transaction basis, such revenues fluctuate from period to period depending on (a) the volume of securities traded through our services in the U.S. and Canada, (b) the contract value of securities traded in Europe and the Asia Pacific region and (c) our commission rates. Certain factors that affect our volumes and contract values traded include: (i) macro trends in the global equities markets that affect overall institutional equity trading activity, (ii) competitive pressure, including pricing, created by a proliferation of electronic execution competitors and (iii) potential changes in market structure in the U.S. and other regions. In addition to share volume, revenues from net executions are also impacted by the width of spreads within the NBBO. Trade orders are delivered to us from our OMS and EMS products and other vendors’ products, direct computer-to-computer links to customers through ITG Net and third-party networks and phone orders from our customers.

Recurring revenues are derived from the following primary sources: (i) connectivity fees generated through ITG Net for the ability of the sell-side to receive orders from, and send indications of interest to, the buy-side and for the sell-side to receive requests-for-quotes through ITG RFQ-hub, (ii) subscription revenue generated from providing research, (iii) software and analytical products and services and (iv) maintenance and customer technical support for our OMS.

Other revenues include: (i) income from principal trading in Canada, including within our recently closed arbitrage trading desk, (ii) the net spread on foreign exchange transactions executed on a principal basis to facilitate equity trades by clients in different currencies as well as on other foreign exchange transactions unrelated to equity trades, (iii) the net interest spread earned on securities borrowed and loaned on transactions within our recently closed U.S. matched-book securities lending operations, (iv)  non-recurring consulting services, such as one-time implementation and customer training related activities, (v) investment and interest income, (vi) interest income on securities borrowed in connection with customers’ settlement activities and (vii) market gains/losses resulting from temporary positions in securities assumed in the normal course of our agency trading business (including errors and accommodations).

Expenses

Compensation and employee benefits, our largest expense, consists of salaries and wages, incentive compensation, employee benefits and taxes. Incentive compensation fluctuates based on revenues, profitability and other measures, taking into account the landscape for key talent. Incentive compensation includes a combination of cash and deferred share-based awards.  Only the cash portion of incentive compensation is a variable expense in the current period. As a result, our ratio of compensation expense to revenues may fluctuate from period-to-period based on revenue levels.

Transaction processing expense consists of costs to access various third-party execution destinations and to process, clear and settle transactions. These costs tend to fluctuate with share and trade volumes, the mix of trade execution services used by clients and the rates charged by third parties.

Occupancy and equipment expense consists primarily of rent and utilities related to leased premises, office equipment and depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and leasehold improvements.

21

Telecommunications and data processing expenses primarily consist of costs for obtaining market data, telecommunications services and systems maintenance.

Other general and administrative expenses primarily include software amortization, consulting, business development, professional fees and intangible asset amortization.

Interest expense consists primarily of costs associated with outstanding debt and credit facilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management uses certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as such term is defined in Regulation G promulgated by the SEC. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s operating performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are included in, or excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to our financial condition and results of operations, and therefore a more complete understanding of factors affecting our business than U.S. GAAP measures alone. In addition, management believes the presentation of these matters is useful to investors for period-to-period comparison of results as the items may reflect certain unique and/or non-operating items such as acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring charges, large write-offs or items outside of management’s control.

Adjusted revenues, adjusted expenses, adjusted pretax (loss) income, adjusted income tax (benefit) expense and adjusted net (loss) income, together with related per share amounts, are non-GAAP performance measures that we believe are useful to assist investors in gaining an understanding of the trends and operating results for our core business. These measures should be viewed in addition to, and not in lieu of, results reported under U.S. GAAP.

Reconciliations of adjusted revenues, adjusted expenses, adjusted pre-tax (loss) income, adjusted income tax (benefit) expense and adjusted net (loss) income to revenues, expenses, (loss) income before income tax (benefit) expense, income tax (benefit) expense and net (loss) income and related per share amounts as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively, are provided below (dollars in thousands except per share amounts).

(1)We received insurance proceeds of $2.4 million in June 2016 from our corporate insurance carrier to settle our claim for lost profits arising from an August 2015 outage in our outsourced primary data center in the U.S. Additionally, we generated a nominal gain on the completion of the sale of our investment research operations in May 2016.

(2)We incurred restructuring charges related to (a) the reduction in high-touch sales trading headcount that was previously focused on our research products, (b) the closing of our U.S. matched-book securities lending operations and our Canadian arbitrage trading desk and (c) the reduction in headcount associated with combining the portfolio trading and high-touch execution offerings with the EB product group to form the new Execution Services product group.

(3)Our new Chief Executive Officer was granted cash and stock awards upon the commencement of his employment in January 2016, a significant portion of which replaced awards he forfeited at his former employer. Due to U.S. tax regulations, only a small portion of the amount that we expensed for these awards during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was eligible for a tax deduction.

(4)During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, we established a reserve of $2.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for the arbitration case with our former CEO. In addition, we incurred legal fees related to this matter of $2.4 million and $2.7 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively. We settled the arbitration case in June 2016.

(5)In the second quarter of 2015, we reserved $20.3 million for a settlement with the SEC in connection with the investigation into a proprietary trading pilot and incurred $2.3 million in legal and other related costs associated with this matter.

Executive Summary for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2016

Consolidated Overview

Sharply higher global trading activity following the referendum on June 23, 2016 in which the people of the United Kingdom voted in favor of an exit from the European Union (often referred to as Brexit) helped to reduce the loss we recognized in a very challenging quarter with sequential reductions in market-wide trading in all regions following the surge in market activity in the first quarter 2016.

On a U.S. GAAP basis, we generated revenues of $120.6 million in the second quarter of 2016 and incurred a net loss of $5.2 million, or $0.16 per share compared with revenues of $140.5 million and a net loss of $0.30 per share in the second quarter of 2015. Our U.S. GAAP net loss in the second quarter of 2016 includes (i) a restructuring charge to reduce headcount in our high-touch trading and sales organizations and close down peripheral businesses, (ii) a charge to adjust the reserve for the arbitration case with our former Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to reflect the final settlement amount (after deducting the impact of the insurance recovery) together with related legal fees and (iii) the amount expensed during the second quarter of 2016 for upfront cash and stock awards granted to our new CEO. These charges were partially offset by a gain recognized for the receipt of proceeds under our business interruption insurance policy related to the impact of an outage in August 2015 at our primary outsourced data center in the U.S. The GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2015 included a reserve for the settlement with the SEC in August 2015 in connection with the SEC’s investigation into a proprietary trading pilot operated for sixteen months in 2010 through mid-2011 (the “SEC Settlement”) and related legal and other fees.

On an adjusted basis, we generated a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.02 per share (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) compared with net income of $11.4 million in the second quarter 2015. Adjusted expenses (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of $120.7 million were down 5% from the second quarter of 2015 reflecting lower incentive-based compensation and transaction processing costs as well as our exit from the energy and healthcare research operations in 2015 and one fewer month of costs from the remaining investment research operations in 2016 due to the sale of those operations at the end of May 2016. Adjusted revenues (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of $118.2 million were down 16% from the second quarter of 2015.

With the divestitures of our investment research operations complete, the closing of certain peripheral businesses, the reorganizing of our three execution channels into a better aligned Execution Services product group, and the completion of the end-to-end review of our business, we are positioned to execute on our strategic operating plan. Under the plan, we have determined that our strategy is to increasingly focus our resources on our core capabilities in execution, liquidity, analytics and workflow solutions, which are our four key service offerings that revolve around the trade implementation cycle. Our strategic operating plan will include significant investments in technology and people to enhance these key service offerings and sharpen our brand with the expectation that we will meaningfully grow market share, revenues and profitability on a global basis.

Segment Discussions

Regional segment results exclude the impact of Corporate activity.  Corporate activity reduced pre-tax income by $15.8 million, including the above-mentioned costs related to the restructuring, the settlement of the arbitration claim with our former CEO together with related legal fees and the amount expensed for upfront awards to our new CEO. Corporate activity also included the gain recognized under our business interruption insurance policy. We also continued to incur higher levels of legal costs within Corporate

23

activityrelating to ongoing legal matters.  See Note 18, Contingencies — Legal Matters, to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our U.S. average daily volume (“ADV”) was 131.5 million shares, down 28% from the second quarter of 2015, primarily reflecting the continuing impact of the SEC Settlement, and down 19% from the first quarter of 2016, primarily reflecting the 15% sequential decline in market-wide volumes.

In Canada, our 2% growth in commissions and fees over the second quarter of 2015 in local currency terms lagged the 31% growth in market-wide ADV as a much greater proportion of our volume in the second quarter of 2016 was from lower priced sell-side clients.  In local currency terms, commissions and fees were down 5% compared to first quarter 2016, which was comparable to the 4% decline in market-wide ADV.

Our executed daily value in the European region surged to record levels in the last few days of the second quarter of 2016 following the Brexit vote, but was still down 7% in local currency terms for the full quarter compared to the first quarter of 2016, performing slightly better than the decrease in overall daily market activity of 8%. As compared to the second quarter 2015, our executed daily value in Europe was 7% higher in local currency terms compared to a 4% decrease in overall daily market activity. However, the outperformance compared to the second quarter of 2015 reflected a significant increase in daily sell-side value traded from our efforts to grow this part of our business, which was partially offset by a decline in buy-side value traded due in part to the continued impact of the SEC Settlement. This higher sell-side mix resulted in a lower overall average commission rate.

Asia Pacific commissions and fees were down 25% from the record second quarter of 2015, however our 20% decline in daily value traded outperformed the decline in overall market-wide activity of 30%.  Sequentially, our average daily value traded in Asia Pacific was 4% higher than the first quarter of 2016, outperforming the 6% decline in daily market-wide trading activity. This increase was driven by a combination of growth in POSIT Alert and an increase in daily value traded by sell-side clients. Despite more sell-side activity, our average commission rate was slightly higher on a sequential basis due to a surge in the amount of value traded in POSIT Alert, establishing a new quarterly record for this product in terms of both regional value traded and commissions.

Capital Resource Allocation

During the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased 321,771 shares under our authorized repurchase program for $5.3 million, or $16.57 per share. On a year-to-date basis we have repurchased 909,682 shares under our authorized repurchase program for $14.9 million, or $16.43 per share. We intend to continue to use share repurchases to offset dilution from the issuance of stock under employee compensation plans and to opportunistically return capital to stockholders. Subject to changes in market conditions and the relative return on alternative uses of capital, we currently expect capital returns for the second half of 2016 and for full-year 2017 to be at an annualized level similar to the capital returns in the first half of 2016. We may elect to conduct future share repurchases through open market purchases, private transactions and/or automatic share repurchase programs under SEC Rule 10b5-1.

We also continued the quarterly dividend program we initiated in April 2015 and paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per share, or $2.3 million during the quarter.

Commissions and fees decreased $11.2 million as a result of a 28% decrease in our average daily trading volumes due to the ongoing impact the SEC Settlement has had on our business, as market-wide daily volumes were 14% higher than the second quarter of 2015.  Although the proportion of volume from lower-rate sell-side clients decreased to 52% from 59% in the second quarter of 2015, our overall revenue capture per share remained steady at $0.0042 reflecting lower rates from the mixture of buy-side volume, including an increased proportion of buy-side volume related to lower-rate index rebalancing.

Recurring revenues decreased 24% due to one fewer month of billed investment research revenue following the close of the sale of our investment research operations at the end of May 2016 as well as the impact of the disposition of energy research in December 2015 and the shut-down of healthcare market research in May 2015 (collectively, our “Research Operations”). This was offset by an increase in billed revenue for our analytics products and a slight increase in recurring connectivity revenue.

Other revenues decreased due to the impact of client trade accommodations, which reduced other revenues by $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a reduction of $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015. In addition, we had lower stock loan revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2016 following our decision to close the matched-book securities lending operations and we had transaction advisory services revenue in the second quarter 2015. These declines were partially offset by an increase in revenues for clearing services.

Compensation and employee benefits decreased 17% due to our exit from the Research Operations, representing more than 50% of the total decrease, as well as lower current year incentive-based compensation and lower stock-based compensation on performance awards.

Transaction processing costs decreased 16% on lower trade volumes but increased as a percentage of commissions and fees to 22.7% from 21.5% in the second quarter 2015 due to higher costs from outsourcing the clearing of select accounts to a third party, and the impact that fixed clearing and settlement costs have on lower commissions and fees revenue.

Other expenses decreased 4% as our exit from the Research Operations reduced costs, but the savings were offset in part by a new cost agreed to for 2016 to purchase energy research for distribution to bundled trading clients.

Currency translation from a weaker Canadian Dollar decreased total Canadian revenues and expenses by $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $0.2 million to pre-tax income.

25

Commissions and fees were down 2% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, but were 2% higher in local currency terms. The growth in local currency terms was lower than the growth in market-wide volumes in Canada as a greater portion of our volume in the second quarter 2016 was from lower-priced sell-side clients.

Recurring revenues decreased 16% primarily from the sale of energy research at the end of 2015.

Other revenues decreased 19% due to the lower gains from our arbitrage trading desk, which was substantially wound-down by the end of April, offset in part by higher foreign exchange trading gains.

Compensation and employee benefits costs were relatively unchanged as higher stock-based compensation and lower capitalized salaries offset lower current year incentive-based compensation and the currency reduction.

Transaction processing costs were slightly lower as a result of lower trading activity due to the winding down of our arbitrage trading desk and the currency reduction, which were mostly offset by the impact of processing increased volumes from lower-rate sell-side clients.

Other expenses were down slightly as lower research distribution fees paid to the U.S. Operations and the impact of currency translation were mostly offset by increased costs for investments we are making to enhance redundancy and business recovery capabilities.

Currency translation from a weaker British Pound during the quarter decreased European revenues and expenses by $2.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, reducing pre-tax income by $0.8 million. The British Pound weakened further in the last few days of the quarter following the Brexit vote. If the U.S. dollar to British Pound exchange rate of 1.34:1 at June 30, 2016 was the average for the full second quarter, our translated pre-tax income would have been further reduced by $0.8 million.

Commissions and fees were down 4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2015, but were 2% higher in local currency terms. Our daily commissions were at record levels in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote, helping to offset the impact of a 4% decrease in daily market-wide trading activity in local currency terms as compared to the second quarter of 2015. Our daily value executed during the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 7% higher in local currency terms than the corresponding period of 2015, however this growth was driven by increased lower-rate sell-side activity, which did not have the same impact on commission revenues. Although we earn a lower commission rate on sell-side trading, this activity produces incremental profitability, uses excess capacity and grows the liquidity in POSIT.

Recurring revenues increased 8% primarily due to higher connectivity and an increase in billed revenue for our analytics products. The change in other revenues primarily reflected the impact of $0.2 million of losses during the three months ended June 30, 2016 to provide price improvement to clients for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in order to generate higher levels of commissions and fees on such trades. These losses in effect represent the sacrifice of a portion of the commission earned on the trade.

Compensation and employee benefits decreased slightly primarily due to the currency reduction, as the impact of higher stock-based compensation was offset by lower current year incentive-based compensation.

26

Transaction processing costs decreased 4% as the impacts of the currency reduction and our negotiation of lower settlement costs in the region more than offset the increase from the growth in our daily executed value. Transaction processing costs as a percentage of commissions and fees were 26.8%, comparable to the ratio in the second quarter 2015.

Other expenses were 7% higher due to investments in lower latency market data feeds and compliance monitoring tools, increased costs for connecting clients and redundant rent in France as we complete the build-out of our new Paris office.

Currency translation from a weaker Australian Dollar decreased total Asia Pacific revenues and expenses by $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $0.1 million to pre-tax income.

Asia Pacific commissions and fees decreased 25% primarily due to the unfavorable market environment, with market-wide trading activity in the markets we participate in down 30%. The impact from the unfavorable market environment was partially offset by the growth in activity from sell-side clients and growth in POSIT Alert, where we achieved record levels of value traded and commissions for this product during the second quarter of 2016.

Recurring revenues were comparable to the second quarter of 2015, while other revenues improved due to a reduced impact of client trade accommodations.

Compensation and employee benefits decreased 12% due primarily to lower headcount and lower current year incentive-based compensation.

Transaction processing costs decreased 24% due to lower trading activity.  As a percentage of commissions and fees, transaction processing costs increased slightly to 24.8% from 24.5% in 2015 due to the impact of a higher proportion of value traded by lower-rate sell-side clients.

Other expenses decreased slightly primarily due to lower charges for global research and development costs.

Corporate

Corporate activity includes investment income from all treasury activity as well as costs not associated with operating the businesses within our regional segments.  These costs include, among others, (a) the costs of being a public company, such as certain staff costs, a portion of external audit fees, and reporting, filing and listing costs, (b) intangible asset amortization, (c) interest expense, (d) professional fees associated with our global transfer pricing structure, (e) foreign exchange gains or losses and (f) certain non-operating expenses.

For the second quarter of 2016, we incurred a pre-tax loss from these activities of $15.8 million, reflecting $2.8 million of income and $18.5 million of costs. For the second quarter of 2015, we incurred a pre-tax loss of $27.7 million from these activities, reflecting investment income of $0.2 million and costs of $27.9 million. The increase in income reflects the recognition of $2.4 million of insurance proceeds, net of related expenses, under our business interruption insurance policy for the impact of an outage at our primary outsourced data center in August 2015. Costs during the three months ended June 30, 2016 include $0.5 million of expense related to the inducement and sign-on compensation awards provided to our new Chief Executive Officer, a significant portion of which replaced awards he forfeited at his former employer, an additional $2.3 million for the settlement of the arbitration claim by our former Chief Executive Officer, together with related legal fees of $2.4 million, and $4.4 million of restructuring costs related to (a) the reduction in high-touch sales trading headcount that was previously focused on our research products, (b) the closing of our U.S. matched-book securities lending operations and our Canadian arbitrage trading desk and (c) the reduction in headcount

27

associated with combining the portfolio trading and high-touch execution offerings with the EB product group to form the new Execution Services product group.  We continue to incur significant legal costs related to ongoing legal proceedings and certain other governmental inquiries, with respect to which we are cooperating.  This includes inquiries relating to industry practices around the borrowing and lending of certain securities, and related transactions and activities.  The activity with respect to these securities, substantially all of which related to our matched-book operations, was discontinued.  See Note 18, Contingencies — Legal Matters to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  We expect that legal fees related to these ongoing legal proceedings and certain other governmental inquiries will continue until such matters are resolved. Costs during the three months ended June 30, 2015 included a $20.3 million reserve for the SEC Settlement, and $2.3 million in legal and other related costs associated with this matter.

Consolidated income tax expense

In the second quarter of 2016, we reported a tax benefit of $4.4 million, resulting in an effective rate of 46.0% on our pre-tax loss. The high effective rate on our pre-tax loss reflects the impact of a higher benefit rate on the loss in our U.S. Operations and from Corporate activities (most of which was incurred in the U.S.) and the lower expense rate on our pre-tax earnings in Europe. In the second quarter of 2015, we reported a tax expense of $1.3 million despite reporting a pre-tax loss of $8.9 million largely due to the non-deductibility of substantially all of the $20.3 million reserve for the SEC Settlement. Our consolidated effective tax rate can vary from period to period depending on, among other factors, the geographic and business mix of our earnings.

Commissions and fees decreased $20.2 million as a result of a 22% decrease in our average daily trading volumes due to the ongoing impact the SEC Settlement has had on our business, as market-wide daily volumes were 19% higher than the first half of 2015. Although the proportion of volume from lower-rate sell-side clients decreased to 52% from 57% in the first half of 2015, our overall revenue capture per share remained steady at $0.0043 reflecting lower rates from the mixture of buy-side volume.

Recurring revenues decreased 23% primarily due to our exit from the Research Operations.

Other revenues decreased 52% due to transaction advisory services revenue earned in 2015 by our former energy research team and the impact of client trade accommodations, which reduced other revenues by $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a reduction of $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015. These declines were partially offset by an increase in revenues for clearing services.

Currency translation from a weaker Canadian Dollar decreased total Canadian revenues and expenses by $2.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease of $0.7 million to pre-tax income.

Commissions and fees declined 11% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 and were down 4% in local currency terms. The decline in local currency terms occurred despite the growth in market-wide volumes in Canada as a greater proportion of our volume in the first half of 2016 was from lower-priced sell-side clients.

Recurring revenues decreased 10% primarily from the sale of energy research at the end of 2015.

Other revenues decreased 9% due to the impact of client trade accommodations, which reduced other revenues by $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a reduction of $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, and lower gains on arbitrage trading due to the winding down of our arbitrage trading desk. The reductions were offset in part by higher foreign exchange trading gains.

Compensation and employee benefits costs decreased 19% primarily from the impact of lower stock-based compensation, which included significant mark-to-market adjustments on cash settled awards in the first half of 2015. The fluctuations on stock-based compensation from mark-to-market adjustments ceased in February 2016 when the last tranche of cash settled awards vested. Compensation was also lower in the first half of 2016 due to lower current year incentive-based compensation and the currency reduction.

Transaction processing costs were slightly higher due to the impact of processing increased volumes from lower-rate sell-side clients, partially offset by reductions related to reduced principal arbitrage trading activity and the currency reduction.

Other expenses were down slightly as lower research distribution fees paid to the U.S. Operations and the impact of currency translation were mostly offset by increased costs for investments we are making to enhance redundancy and recovery.

Our daily value executed during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 9% higher in local currency terms than the corresponding period of 2015, outperforming the 1% decline in daily market-wide trading activity. However the growth in our executed value in the first half of 2016 was driven by increased lower-rate sell-side activity, which did not have the same impact on commission revenues.

Recurring revenues increased slightly primarily due to higher connectivity.  The change in other revenues primarily reflected the impact of $0.3 million of losses during the six months ended June 30, 2016 to provide price improvement for ETFs in order to generate higher levels of commissions and fees on such trades.

Other expenses were higher due to investments in lower latency market data feeds and compliance monitoring tools, increased costs for connecting clients, redundant rent in France as we complete the build-out of our new Paris office and increased provisions against aged invoices.

30

Asia Pacific commissions and fees decreased 25% primarily due to the unfavorable market environment, with daily market-wide trading activity in the markets we participate in down 18%, and the continued impact during the early part of the year of the SEC Settlement. These impacts were partially offset by the growth in activity from sell-side clients.

Recurring revenues were comparable to the first half of 2015, while other revenues improved over the prior-year period due to a reduced impact of client trade accommodations, which reduced other revenues by less than $0.1 million during the first half of 2016 and by $0.4 million during the first half of 2015.

Compensation and employee benefits decreased 12% due to lower headcount and lower current year incentive-based compensation.

Transaction processing costs decreased 21% due to lower trading activity.  As a percentage of commissions and fees, transaction processing costs increased slightly to 25.5% from 24.1% in 2015 due to the impact of a much higher proportion of value traded by lower-rate sell-side clients and lower rates from clients using our direct market access services.

Other expenses decreased slightly primarily due to lower charges for global research and development costs.

Corporate

For the first half of 2016, we incurred a pre-tax loss from Corporate activities of $29.9 million, reflecting $3.1 million of income and $33.0 million of costs.  For the first half of 2015 we incurred a pre-tax loss of $32.4 million reflecting $0.4 million of investment income and $32.8 million of costs. The increase in income reflects the recognition of $2.4 million of insurance proceeds, net of related expenses, under our business interruption insurance policy for the impact of an outage at our primary outsourced data center in August 2015.  Costs in the first half 2016 include $3.3 million of expense related to the inducement and sign-on compensation awards provided to our new Chief Executive Officer, a significant portion of which replaced awards he forfeited at his former employer, $4.8 million for the settlement of the arbitration claim by our former Chief Executive Officer, together with related legal fees of $2.7 million, and $4.4 million of restructuring costs related to (a) the reduction in high-touch sales trading headcount that was previously focused on our research products, (b) the closing of our U.S. matched-book securities lending operations and our Canadian arbitrage trading desk and (c) the reduction in headcount associated with combining the portfolio trading and high-touch execution offerings with the EB product group to form the new Execution Services product group.  We continue to incur significant legal costs related to ongoing legal proceedings and certain other governmental inquiries, with respect to which we are cooperating.  This includes inquiries relating to industry practices around the borrowing and lending of certain securities, and related transactions and activities.  The activity with respect to these securities, substantially all of which related to our matched-book operations, was discontinued.  See Note 18, Contingencies — Legal Matters to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Costs during the first half of 2015 included a $20.3 million reserve for the SEC Settlement, and $2.3 million in legal and other related costs associated with this matter.

Consolidated income tax expense

In the first half of 2016, we reported a tax benefit of $5.6 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 41.9% on our pre-tax loss. The high effective rate on our pre-tax loss reflects the impact of a higher benefit rate on the loss in our U.S. Operations and from Corporate activities (most of which was incurred in the U.S.) and the lower expense rate on our pre-tax earnings in Europe.  In the first half of 2015 we reported tax expense of $6.9 million, an effective tax rate of 51.3% on our pre-tax income. The high effective tax rate in the first half of 2015 was largely due to the non-deductibility of substantially all of the $20.3 million reserve for the SEC Settlement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations. Our liquidity requirements result from our working capital needs, which include clearing and settlement activities, as well as our regulatory capital needs. A substantial portion of our assets is liquid, consisting of cash and cash equivalents or assets readily convertible into cash. Cash is principally invested in money market mutual funds. At June 30, 2016, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaled $237.5 million. Included in this amount is $73.8 million of cash and cash equivalents held by subsidiaries outside the United States. Due to the December 2015 amendment to the capital structure of our operations outside of North America, which included a deemed dividend on all cumulative undistributed earnings, we currently do not foresee a need to repatriate funds from certain foreign subsidiaries to the U.S. by way of dividends.  Should we need to do so in the future, our effective tax rate may increase.

31

As a self-clearing broker-dealer in the U.S., we are subject to cash deposit requirements with clearing organizations that may be large in relation to total liquid assets and may fluctuate significantly based upon the nature and size of customers’ trading activity and market volatility. At June 30, 2016, we had interest-bearing security deposits totaling $46.2 million with clearing organizations in the U.S. for the settlement of equity trades. In the normal course of our U.S. settlement activities, we may also need to temporarily finance customer securities positions from short settlements or delivery failures. These financings may be funded from existing cash resources, borrowings under stock loan transactions or short-term bank loans under our committed facility. In January 2016, we entered into a new $150 million 364-day revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, to finance these temporary positions and to satisfy temporary spikes in clearing margin requirements. The terms and conditions of the credit agreement are similar to the credit agreement that matured in January 2016 (see Note 11, Borrowings), except that the unused commitment fee is 0.75%.

We self-clear equity trades in Hong Kong and Australia, maintaining restricted cash deposits of $26.0 million primarily to support overdraft facilities. We also had deposits with clearing organizations of $9.8 million at June 30, 2016. In Europe, we maintain $1.8 million in restricted cash related to protected client funds and we had deposits with our clearing and settlement agents of $38.3 million at June 30, 2016.

Capital resource requirements relate to capital purchases, as well as business investments, and are generally funded from operations. When required, as in the case of a major acquisition, our strong cash generating ability has historically allowed us to access U.S. capital markets.

Operating Activities

The table below summarizes the effect of the major components of operating cash flow.

	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2016			2015
Net (loss) income	$	(7,723	)	$	6,523
Non-cash items included in net income	31,754			39,992
Effect of changes in receivables/payables from/to customers and brokers	(128,586		)	10,031
Effect of changes in other working capital and operating assets and liabilities	(50,211		)	(63,647		)
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(154,766	)	$	(7,101	)

Our operating activities typically result in the use of cash in the first half of an annual period due to the impact of paying the cash portion of the prior year’s incentive-based compensation and increases in the amounts for deposits held at clearing organizations and for net receivables.

The increase in cash used in operating activities during the first six months of 2016 as compared to the first six months of 2015 relates to an increase in cash temporarily tied up in settlement activities and an increase in clearing deposits, both of which were partially offset by an $84.0 million increase in short-term debt reflected in financing activities. In the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote we needed to maintain additional liquidity with our European settlement agent to ensure the efficient settlement of client trading activity. Other items that drove the increased use of cash in operating activities as compared to the first half of last year were increases in income taxes receivable and a decrease in net income.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $12.0 million includes our investments in software development projects and computer hardware and software partially offset by the net cash proceeds from the sale of our investment research operations.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of $58.1 million primarily reflects the increase in short-term bank borrowings to fund our international and U.S. securities clearance and settlement activities as described above, partially offset by repurchases of ITG common stock, shares withheld for net settlements of share-based awards, and dividend payments made under our dividend program.

During the first six months of 2016, we remained active with our share buyback program on an opportunistic basis, repurchasing approximately 1.3 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $21.4 million, while also maintaining our $0.07 per share quarterly dividend program, both of which were funded from our available cash resources. Of these shares, 0.9 million were purchased under our Board of Directors’ authorization for a total cost of $14.9 million (average cost of $16.43 per share). An additional 0.4 million shares repurchased for $6.5 million pertained solely to the satisfaction of minimum statutory withholding tax

32

upon the net settlement of equity awards.  As of June 30, 2016, the total remaining number of shares currently available for repurchase under ITG’s stock repurchase program was 1.9 million. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will vary based on market conditions and other factors. We may elect to conduct future share repurchases through open market purchases, private transactions or automatic share repurchase programs under SEC Rule 10b5-1.

Regulatory Capital

ITG Inc., AlterNet and ITG Derivatives are subject to the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1, which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital.  ITG Inc. has elected to use the alternative method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that ITG Inc. maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 2% of aggregate debit balances arising from customer transactions, as defined. AlterNet and ITG Derivatives have elected to use the basic method permitted by Rule 15c3-1, which requires that they each maintain minimum net capital equal to the greater of 6 2/3% of aggregate indebtedness or $100,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. Dividends or withdrawals of capital cannot be made if capital is needed to comply with regulatory requirements.

Net capital balances and the amounts in excess of required net capital at June 30, 2016 for the U.S. Operations are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Net Capital		Excess
U.S. Operations
ITG Inc.	$	66,210	$	65,210
AlterNet	5,870		5,744
ITG Derivatives	2,273		1,273

As of June 30, 2016, ITG Inc. had $7.3 million of cash in a special reserve bank account for the benefit of customers under the Customer Protection Rule pursuant to SEC Rule 15c3-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and $2.5 million under proprietary accounts of broker dealers.

In addition, our Canadian, European and Asia Pacific Operations have subsidiaries with regulatory capital requirements. The regulatory net capital balances and amount of regulatory capital in excess of the minimum requirements applicable to each business at June 30, 2016, is summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands):

	Net Capital		Excess
Canadian Operations
Canada	$	25,353	$	24,967
European Operations
Ireland	56,279		7,779
U.K.	3,441		2,631
Asia Pacific Operations
Australia	15,033		8,939
Hong Kong	25,377		7,393
Singapore	991		917

Liquidity and Capital Resource Outlook

Historically, our working capital, stock repurchase, dividend program and investment activity requirements have been funded from cash from operations and short-term loans, with the exception of strategic acquisitions, which at times have required long-term financing. We believe that our cash flow from operations, existing cash balances and our available credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our ongoing operating cash and regulatory capital needs, while also complying with the terms of our Credit Agreement.

However, our ability to borrow additional funds may be inhibited by financial lending institutions’ ability or willingness to lend to us on commercially acceptable terms.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

We are a member of various U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and clearing houses that trade and clear, respectively, equities and/or derivative contracts.  Associated with our membership, we may be required to pay a proportionate share of financial obligations of another member who may default on its obligations to the exchanges or the clearing house.  While the rules governing different exchange or clearinghouse memberships vary, in general, our guarantee obligations would arise only if the exchange had previously exhausted its resources.  The maximum potential payout under these memberships cannot be estimated.  We have not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these agreements and believe that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote.

33

As of June 30, 2016, our other contractual obligations and commercial commitments consisted principally of fixed charges, including minimum future rentals under non-cancelable operating leases, minimum future purchases under non-cancelable purchase agreements and compensation under employment agreements.

There has been no significant change to such arrangements and obligations since December 31, 2015.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The new guidance requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded on the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. In addition, cash flows related to excess tax benefits will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. The standard also allows withholding up to the maximum statutory amount for taxes on employee share-based compensation, clarifies that all cash payments made on an employee’s behalf for withheld shares should be presented as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted.  We are currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU No. 2016-02 includes a lessee accounting model that recognizes two types of leases - finance leases and operating leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of greater than 12 months while leases with terms of less than 12 months are exempt from the new standard. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee will depend on its classification as a financing or operating lease. The standard requires disclosures enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The disclosures also require both qualitative and quantitative information to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the new guidance and have not yet determined the impact of adoption on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard provides companies with a single five step revenue recognition model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The standard will also require significant additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures describing the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU 2014-09. The original standard was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, however, in April 2015, the FASB proposed a one-year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the new guidance and have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the impact of adoption on our financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There has been no significant change to our critical accounting estimates, which are more fully described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 7A) for the year ended December 31, 2015. There has been no material change in this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a)Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

34

b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information pertaining to legal proceedings can be found in “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 18. Contingencies—Legal Matters” and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk factors describing the major risks to our business can be found under Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  Except for the addition of the risk factors below, there has been no significant change to the risks or uncertainties that may affect our results of operations since December 31, 2015.

If we cannot successfully execute on our strategic initiatives, our business and financial results may be adversely impacted.

We may not be able to implement important strategic initiatives in accordance with our expectations, including that these strategic initiatives could result in additional unanticipated costs, which may result in an adverse impact on our business and financial results. In July 2016, we completed the end-to-end review of our business, clients, people and processes initiated by our new Chief Executive Officer.  In connection with these findings, we announced our strategic operating plan to increasingly focus our resources on our core capabilities in execution, liquidity, analytics and workflow solutions, which are our four key service offerings that revolve around the trade implementation cycle. The strategic operating plan will include significant investments in technology and people to enhance these key service offerings and sharpen our brand with the expectation that we will meaningfully grow market share, revenues and profitability on a global basis. If we are unable to realize the benefits of any strategic initiatives, the strategic initiatives may not result in improvements in future financial performance and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

Political and economic uncertainty arising from the outcome of the recent referendum in which the people of the United Kingdom voted in favor of an exit from the European Union could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There is substantial political and economic uncertainty surrounding the referendum held on June 23, 2016 in which the people of the United Kingdom voted in favor of an exit from the European Union (often referred to as Brexit). The referendum is non-binding; however, if passed into law, negotiations would then commence to determine the terms of the United Kingdom’s future relationship with the European Union, including the terms of trade between the United Kingdom and the European Union. It is unclear how the United Kingdom’s access to the European Union single market, and the wider trading, legal and regulatory environment in which we and our clients operate, will be impacted and how this will affect our and their businesses. The announcement of Brexit has caused significant volatility in global stock markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations. The uncertainty surrounding the terms of the United Kingdom’s exit and its consequences could adversely impact client and investor confidence, result in additional market volatility and adversely affect our businesses, including our revenues from trading activities in Europe, and our results of operations and financial condition.

Exhibit 10.1

AGREEMENT

This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made this 9th day of May 2016, by Michael V Marrale (“Employee”, “I” or “me”, as used herein).

In connection with the sale of ITG Investment Research, LLC (“ITG IR”) to Leucadia National Corporation or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Purchaser”), Investment Technology Group, Inc.  (“ITG”) has agreed to compensate, subject to the conditions described herein, Employee for (a) Employee’s unvested Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) of ITG that Employee will, upon and following consummation of such sale and termination of employment with ITG Inc., forfeit and (b) the 2016 bonus to which  the Employee will, upon and following consummation of such sale and termination of employment with ITG Inc., cease to be entitled.  For the avoidance of doubt and for purposes of this Agreement, the Employee’s termination of employment with ITG Inc. is contingent on and subject to his commencing employment with the Purchaser or one of its affiliates on the Closing Date.  If Employee executes and returns this Agreement to ITG, subject to the terms in this Agreement, remains an employee in Good Standing of ITG Inc. until the effective time of the closing on the closing date of the sale (the “Closing Date”) and commences employment with the Purchaser or one of its affiliates on the Closing Date, then ITG will, or will cause one of its affiliates to, pay Employee the total amount of $1,915,362.40 for the RSU’s and in respect of the 2016 bonus to which the Employee would not otherwise be entitled, net of applicable income and employment taxes (the “Proceeds”). The Proceeds will be paid to Employee in cash no later than 15 days after the  Closing Date and are subject to repayment by Employee to ITG IR (or any successor thereto) under the conditions set forth below.  A further condition of ITG’s obligation to pay the Proceeds is the closing of the sale pursuant to the material terms as currently reflected in the Membership Interests Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2016, by and among Investment Technology Group, Inc., ITG Solutions Network, Inc., Leucadia National Corporation and M Science Holdings LLC.

For good and valuable consideration in receiving the Proceeds, I hereby agree to the following terms and conditions pursuant to which I will receive payment of the Proceeds:

I.Repayment of the Proceeds

1.I shall repay immediately to ITG IR (or any successor thereto) the gross, pre-withholding amount of the Proceeds in accordance with the schedule below if: (a) I give notice of my intent to resign and engage in Competitive Activity (as defined below); (b) even if I resign and do not immediately engage in Competitive Activity, I later engage in Competitive Activity during the period prior to the anniversary dates set forth in the schedule below; or (c) the Purchaser or one of its affiliates (the Purchaser together with its affiliates, collectively the “Company”) terminates my employment for Cause.

On or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date	100%
After the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary	50%
After the second anniversary of the Closing Date	Zero

1

2.If the Company terminates my employment without Cause on or prior to the anniversary dates set forth in the schedule above, I will not be required to repay any unvested portion of the Proceeds if I sign (and do not revoke, if applicable) a release agreement in the form requested by the Company.  Any restrictive covenants in the release agreement will be no more restrictive than those contained in my employment agreement.

II.Notice of Resignation and Competitive Activity

1.If I resign or give notice of my intent to resign on or prior to the anniversary dates set forth in Section I.1, I will advise the Company in my letter of resignation of the name of the employer or entity I intend to join.  If I do not provide this information to the Company within five (5) business days, I will repay the Proceeds as if I had engaged in Competitive Activity.  Further, I will keep the Company apprised of changes to my contact information or the identity of my employer during the period prior to the anniversary dates set forth in the schedule set forth in Section I.1.

2.If I resign on or prior to the anniversary dates set forth in Section I.1 and do not engage in Competitive Activity, I will execute and return to the Company an annual affidavit on either the first or second anniversary of the Payment Date, as applicable, attesting that I have not engaged Competitive Activity during the prior year.  The Company will provide or make available the affidavit to me prior to the applicable anniversary dates set forth in Section I.1.  If the Company fails to receive the affidavit within 30 days after it is sent to me, I will repay the Proceeds as if I had engaged in Competitive Activity.

3.“Competitive Activity” means that I, whether acting alone or in conjunction with others (a) directly or indirectly render services for any organization or engage (either as owner, investor, partner, stockholder, employer, employee, consultant, advisor, or director), in any business which is or becomes competitive with the business of ITG IR (or any successor thereto), its subsidiaries or Jefferies LLC (together the “Companies”); (b) induce any customer of the Companies  to curtail, limit, or cancel its business with the  Companies or solicit a customer or client of the Companies to transact business with a person, business or enterprise other than the  Companies that is in direct competition with the Companies; or (c) induce or attempt to influence any employee or contractor of the Companies to terminate employment or services with the Companies or solicit or assist any third party in the solicitation of any employee or contractor of the Companies to provide services to a person, business or enterprise other than the  Companies. I acknowledge and agree that given the global nature of the Companies’ business, the prohibition on engaging in Competitive Activity shall be global in geographic scope.

III.Miscellaneous

1.“Good Standing” means I remain employed at  ITG Inc. and have not been terminated for Cause, have not resigned or given notice of resignation other than in connection with an offer of employment by the Company, am not under investigation for conduct that could result in termination for Cause, and to the extent permitted by law, am not on leave.

2.The Company in its sole discretion may terminate my employment for “cause”. “Cause” shall mean my: (a) material breach of  any  written agreement between the Company and me, its parent,

2

subsidiaries or affiliates; (b) material violation of any policy or procedure of the  Company, including, but not limited to the Company’s or its parent’s Code of Ethics, that could result in harm to the Company, its employees or its or their reputation; (c) violation of any of the Company’s policy against discrimination or harassment; (d) violation of any federal, state, local, or foreign securities law, rule, or regulation or any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or association or other regulatory or self-regulatory body or agency; (e) arrest for, conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a crime that could result in harm to the Company, its reputation, or employees; (f) engaging in criminal, illegal, dishonest, immoral, or unethical conduct related to my  employment at the Company; (g) failure to obtain or maintain any registration, license, or other authorization or approval reasonably required by the Company; (h) engaging in any act constituting a material breach of fiduciary duty, gross negligence, or willful misconduct in connection with my employment; or (i) refusal or failure to comply with any of the reasonable directions of or procedures established by  the Board of Directors of the Company’s parent, the Company’s Executive Committee, or my supervisor (unless such directions would result in the commission of an act that is illegal or unethical).  If the Company determines, in its sole and exclusive discretion, that the conduct giving rise to Cause is capable of being cured, the Company will give me written notice that conditions giving rise to termination of  my employment for Cause exist under (a), (b) or (i) above, and no Cause will exist if I have cured the conditions within ten (10) business days of such notice.  If conditions giving rise to termination of my employment for Cause exist under (g), above, the Company shall give me notice of the registration, license or other authorization or approval that I must obtain and a reasonable period of time to obtain it.  For purposes of this definition of “cause”, with respect to the period prior to the Closing, the term Company shall mean ITG and its affiliates and with respect to the period after the Closing, the term Company shall mean the Purchaser and its affiliates.

3.This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflicts of laws, to the extent that such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the law of another jurisdiction.  I hereby consent that any court proceeding brought with respect to matters related to this Agreement shall be brought in the Borough of Manhattan in the State of New York.  Further, to the extent a party may avail itself of state or federal court to enforce this Agreement, I hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City and State of New York.

4.I shall pay all costs of enforcement of this Agreement and collection of any amounts due under this Agreement, including reasonable attorney’s fees and indemnify the Company and ITG and its affiliates for any liabilities, taxes, costs, and expenses of any kind that they may incur in connection with the exercise of their rights under this Agreement and any matter relating thereto. Further, I will not assert any defenses, rights of set-off, or counterclaims as a reason for not fully repaying the amounts due under this Agreement.

5.Nothing in this Agreement shall create a contract of employment between the Company and me for a specific term or guarantee of employment.  My employment with the Company is and shall remain employment at will.

6.If any part of this Agreement is held invalid, the balance of this Agreement shall remain valid and in effect if the balance continues to conform to the requirements of applicable law.

3

7.The Company may assign this Agreement with the consent of ITG and the rights of the Company under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.  This Agreement is not assignable by me.

8.The waiver by the Company of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of that provision or as a waiver of the provision itself.  Any waiver under this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the Company.  Accordingly, the acceptance by the Company of partial or delinquent payments by me of amounts due under this Agreement, or the failure of the Company to exercise any rights under this Agreement, shall not waive any other breach (similar or otherwise) of this Agreement by me.

9.This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among ITG and its affiliates, the Company and me with respect to repayment of the Proceeds and the matters contemplated hereby.  This Agreement may not be changed, modified, or terminated orally, but only by a written agreement signed by the ITG, the Company and me.

10.The type and periods of restriction imposed by Agreement are fair and reasonable. I have read and understand this Agreement, and voluntarily agree to the terms and conditions in this Agreement.  I acknowledge that I have been provided with the opportunity to consult with independent legal counsel of my choice.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

Investment Technology Group, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on July 22, 1983. Its principal subsidiaries include: (1) ITG Inc., AlterNet Securities, Inc. (“AlterNet”) and ITG Derivatives LLC (“ITG Derivatives”), institutional broker-dealers in the United States (“U.S.”), (2) ITG Canada Corp., an institutional broker-dealer in Canada, (3) Investment Technology Group Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Europe, (4) ITG Australia Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Australia, (5) ITG Hong Kong Limited, an institutional broker-dealer in Hong Kong, (6) ITG Software Solutions, Inc., the Company’s intangible property, software development and maintenance subsidiary in the U.S., and (7) ITG Solutions Network, Inc., a holding company for ITG Analytics, Inc., a provider of pre- and post-trade analysis, fair value and trade optimization services, and ITG Platforms Inc., a provider of trade order and execution management technology and network connectivity services for the financial community.

ITG applies technology and trading expertise to reduce implementation costs, helping clients improve investment performance. ITG provides liquidity, execution, analytics and workflow solutions to leading asset management and brokerage firms. The firm has offices in Asia Pacific, Europe and North America and offers trading services in more than 50 countries.

The Company’s business is organized into four reportable operating segments (see Note 15, Segment Reporting, to the condensed consolidated financial statements):

· U.S. Operations

· Canadian Operations

· European Operations

· Asia Pacific Operations

Regional segment results exclude the impact of Corporate activity, which is presented separately and includes investment income and other gains as well as costs not associated with operating the businesses within the Company’s regional segments.  These costs include, among others, (a) the costs of being a public company, such as certain staff costs, a portion of external audit fees, and reporting, filing and listing costs, (b) intangible asset amortization, (c) interest expense, (d) professional fees associated with the Company’s global transfer pricing structure, (e) foreign exchange gains or losses and (f) certain non-operating expenses.

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of results.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations; however, management believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and does not have an effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

(2) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, various methods are used including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability are used, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. Valuation techniques that are used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, fair value measured financial instruments are categorized according to the fair value hierarchy prescribed by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

· Level 1: Fair value measurements using unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

· Level 2: Fair value measurements using correlation with (directly or indirectly) observable market-based inputs, unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data, or quoted prices in markets that are not active.

· Level 3: Fair value measurements using inputs that are significant and not readily observable in the market.

Level 1 consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded mutual funds and listed equities.

Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued based upon observable market-based inputs.

Level 3 is comprised of financial instruments whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies utilizing significant inputs that are generally less readily observable.

Fair value measurements for those items measured on a recurring basis are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Total	$	2,637	$	2,637	$	—	$	—

Cash and cash equivalents other than bank deposits are measured at fair value and primarily include U.S. government money market mutual funds.

Securities owned, at fair value and securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value include corporate stocks, equity index mutual funds and bond mutual funds, all of which are exchange traded.

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Assets and liabilities that are recorded at contracted amounts approximating fair value consist primarily of receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers, clearing organizations and customers. These receivables and payables to brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and customers are short-term in nature, and following June 30, 2016, substantially all have settled at the contracted amounts.

The Company believes the carrying amounts of its term-debt obligations at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 approximate fair value because the interest rates on these instruments change with, or approximate, market interest rates.

On May 27, 2016, the Company completed the sale of ITG Investment Research, LLC (“Investment Research”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to a wholly owned subsidiary of Leucadia National Corporation (“Leucadia”) for $12 million in cash consideration.

Upon completion of the sale, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $20,000 and an after-tax gain of approximately $50,000. The pre-tax gain is recorded in other revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The pre-tax gain is net of direct costs to sell Investment Research, including professional fees, cash compensation and the acceleration of previously issued restricted stock unit awards.

The following table summarizes the components of the pre-tax gain (dollars in thousands):

Cash proceeds from sale	$	12,000
Carrying value of net assets disposed	(7,502		)
Direct selling costs	(4,477		)
Pre-tax gain on sale	$	21

As a result of this divestiture, the Company reduced the headcount within its U.S. high-touch sales trading operation.  See Note 4, Restructuring Charges, for more information.

The Company determined that the sale of Investment Research does not meet the requirements to be treated as a discontinued operation. As such, the results of Investment Research through the sale date of May 27, 2016 are included in continued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, primarily in the U.S. Operations segment.

2016 Restructuring

As part of an end-to-end review of its business, the Company has determined that its strategy is to increasingly focus its resources on its core capabilities in execution, liquidity, analytics and workflow solutions. To that end, during the second quarter of 2016, the Company implemented restructuring plans to (i) reduce headcount in its high-touch trading and sales organizations and (ii) close its U.S. matched-book securities lending operations and its Canadian arbitrage trading desk.

A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

The Company had reserves for unrecognized tax benefits of $15.5 million and $15.6 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The Company had accrued interest expense related to tax reserves of $3.1 million and $2.8 million, net of related tax effects, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively impacted by non-deductible executive compensation expenses that are limited under Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.

Deposits paid for securities borrowed and deposits received for securities loaned are recorded at the amount of cash collateral advanced or received. Deposits paid for securities borrowed transactions require the Company to deposit cash with the lender. With respect to deposits received for securities loaned, the Company receives collateral in the form of cash in an amount generally in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. The Company monitors the market value of the securities borrowed and loaned on a daily basis, with additional collateral obtained or refunded, as necessary.

The Company’s securities borrowing and lending is generally done under industry standard agreements (“Master Securities Lending Agreements”) that may allow, following an event of default by either party, the prompt close-out of all transactions (including the liquidation of securities held) and the offsetting of obligations to return cash or securities, as the case may be, by the non-defaulting party. Events of default under the Master Securities Lending Agreements generally include, subject to certain conditions: (i) failure to timely deliver cash or securities as required under the transaction, (ii) a party’s insolvency, bankruptcy, or similar proceeding, (iii) breach of representation, and (iv) a material breach of the agreement. The counterparty that receives the securities in these transactions generally has unrestricted access in its use of the securities.  For financial statement purposes, the Company does not offset securities borrowed and securities loaned.

The following table summarizes the transactions under certain Master Securities Lending Agreements that may be eligible for offsetting if an event of default occurred and a right of offset was legally enforceable (dollars in thousands):

(15) Segment Reporting

The Company is organized into four geographic operating segments through which the Company’s chief operating decision maker manages the Company’s business. The U.S., Canadian, European and Asia Pacific Operations segments provide the following categories of products and services:

· Execution Services — includes (a) self-directed trading using algorithms, smart routing and matching through POSIT in cash equities (including single stocks and portfolio lists), futures and options and (b) portfolio trading and high-touch trading desks providing execution expertise

· Workflow Technology — includes trade order and execution management software applications in addition to network connectivity

· Analytics — includes (a) tools enabling portfolio managers and traders to improve pre-trade and real-time execution performance, (b) portfolio construction and optimization decisions and (c) securities valuation

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The Company allocates resources to, and evaluates the performance of, its reportable segments based on income or loss before income tax expense. Consistent with the Company’s resource allocation and operating performance evaluation approach, the effects of inter-segment activities are eliminated except in limited circumstances where certain technology related costs are allocated to a segment to support that segment’s revenue producing activities. Commissions and fees revenue for trade executions and commission share revenues are principally attributed to each segment based upon the location of execution of the related transaction. Recurring revenues are principally attributed based upon the location of the client using the respective service.

Regional segment results exclude the impact of Corporate activity, which is presented separately and includes investment income and other gains as well as costs not associated with operating the businesses within the Company’s regional segments.  These costs include, among others, (a) the costs of being a public company, such as certain staff costs, a portion of external audit fees, and reporting, filing and listing costs, (b) intangible asset amortization, (c) interest expense, (d) professional fees associated with the Company’s global transfer pricing structure, (e) foreign exchange gains or losses and (f) certain non-operating expenses.

In December 2015 the Company sold its energy research operations and in May 2016 the Company sold its remaining investment research operations,  both of which were within the Research, Sales and Trading (“RS&T”) product group. Beginning in the second quarter 2016, the remaining portfolio trading and high-touch execution offerings, previously grouped within RS&T, were combined with the electronic execution and liquidity solutions, previously grouped with the Electronic Brokerage (“EB”) product group, to form the new Execution Services product group to create better alignment for cross-selling synergies. The entire historic activity of EB and RS&T, including the divested research operations,  has been reclassified to the Execution Services product group to conform to the current presentation. For more information on the sale of the remaining investment research operations, see Note 3, Divestitures.  Also, in July 2016 the Company changed the name of its Platforms product group to Workflow Technology.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

(17)  Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company is a member of various U.S. and non-U.S. exchanges and clearing houses that trade and clear, respectively, equities and/or derivative contracts.  Associated with the Company’s membership, the Company may be required to pay a proportionate share of financial obligations of another member who may default on its obligations to the exchanges or the clearing house.  While the rules governing different exchange or clearing house memberships vary, in general, the Company’s obligations would arise only if the exchanges and clearing houses had previously exhausted other remedies. The maximum potential payout under these memberships cannot be estimated. The Company has not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these agreements and believes that any potential requirement to make payments under these agreements is remote. In the ordinary course of business, the Company guarantees obligations of subsidiaries which may arise from third-party clearing relationships and trading counterparties. The activities of the subsidiaries covered by these guarantees are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s customer financing and securities settlement activities may require the Company to pledge customer securities as collateral in support of various secured financing transactions such as bank loans. In the event the financing counterparty is unable to meet its contractual obligation to return customer securities pledged as collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its customer obligations. The Company controls this risk by monitoring the market value of securities pledged on a daily basis and by requiring adjustments of collateral levels in the event of excess market exposure.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, securities owned at fair value, receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations and receivables from customers. Cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair value are deposited with high credit quality financial institutions.

In connection with customer settlement activities, the Company loans securities temporarily to other brokers. The Company receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in security prices may cause the market value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company controls this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis, and by requiring additional cash as collateral or returning collateral when necessary.

The Company also borrows securities temporarily from other brokers in connection with customer settlement activities. The Company deposits cash as collateral for the securities borrowed. Decreases in security prices may cause the market value of the securities borrowed to fall below the amount of cash deposited as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return collateral, the Company may be exposed to the risk of selling the securities at prevailing market prices. The Company controls this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the collateral values on a daily basis, and by depositing additional collateral with counterparties or receiving cash when deemed necessary.

The Company may at times maintain inventories in equity securities on both a long and short basis. Whereas long inventory positions represent the Company’s ownership of securities, short inventory positions represent obligations of the Company to deliver specified securities at a contracted price, which may differ from market prices prevailing at the time of completion of the transaction. Accordingly, both long and short inventory positions may result in losses or gains to the Company as market values of securities fluctuate. To mitigate the risk of losses, long and short positions are marked to market daily and are continuously monitored by the Company.

Contingencies - Legal Matters

(18)  Contingencies — Legal Matters

In October 2015, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Former CEO”) filed a Demand for Arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against the Company. The Former CEO’s statement of claim alleged that the Company breached his employment agreement with the Company by terminating his employment for “cause,” and further alleged that the Company defamed him. The statement of claim sought an award of damages and equity valued in the arbitration demand at $8.0 million, plus an additional $5.0 million in actual and punitive damages with respect to the defamation claim.  On June 19, 2016, the Company and the Former CEO entered into the initial terms of a settlement, which terms were superseded by a Settlement Agreement and General Release, dated as of June 22, 2016 (the “Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which: (i) the Former CEO dismissed with prejudice all claims alleged in the Demand for Arbitration, (ii) the Company paid an aggregate amount of $5.3 million, of which $4.0 million was paid to the Former CEO and $1.3 million was paid to his attorneys to cover their fees and costs, (iii) certain provisions of the Employment Agreement between the former CEO and the Company, dated as of April 20, 2010 (the “Employment Agreement”), would continue to apply, including covenants and agreements imposing on the Former CEO certain obligations with respect to confidentiality, intellectual property and non-solicitation, (iv) the Company would continue to indemnify the Former CEO as provided by and subject to the Employment Agreement and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, (v) the parties agreed to mutual non-disparagement obligations, (vi) the Former CEO agreed to cooperate with the Company and generally make himself available in connection with any investigations or legal proceedings involving the Company and (vii) the parties agreed to fully, finally and generally release all claims each party has against the other except for (a) obligations created by or arising out of the Settlement Agreement, (b) claims, defenses or liabilities against the Former CEO based on fraud that are presently unknown, (c) unemployment, state disability, and/or worker’s compensation insurance benefits pursuant to the terms of applicable state law, (d) claims that may relate to Company-sponsored benefit plans or those that cannot be lawfully waived and (e) any claim or right that may arise after the effective date of the Settlement Agreement.  The Company’s insurance carrier has reimbursed the Company for $0.5 million of the settlement amount, resulting in a net charge to the Company of  $4.8 million.  During the three and six month periods ended June 2016, the Company established reserves for this matter of $2.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, and incurred legal fees for this matter of $2.4 million and $2.7 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings other than claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, except putative class action lawsuits and a derivative action have been filed with respect to the Company and certain of its current and former directors and/or executives in connection with the Company’s announcement of the SEC matter described in the following paragraph (and other related actions could be filed).

On August 12, 2015, the Company reached a final settlement with the staff of the Division of Enforcement of the SEC in connection with the SEC’s investigation into a proprietary trading pilot operated within AlterNet for sixteen months in 2010 through mid-2011. The investigation was focused on customer disclosures, Form ATS regulatory filings and customer information controls relating to the pilot’s trading activity, which included (a) crossing against sell-side clients in POSIT and (b) violations of Company policy and procedures by a former employee. These violations principally involved information breaches for a period of several months in 2010 regarding sell-side parent orders flowing into ITG’s algorithms and executions by all customers in non-POSIT markets that were not otherwise available to ITG clients. According to the terms of the settlement, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $20.3 million, representing a civil penalty of $18 million, disgorgement of approximately $2.1 million in trading revenues and prejudgment interest of approximately $0.25 million.

In connection with the announcement of the SEC investigation, two putative class action lawsuits were filed with respect to the Company and certain of its current and former executives and have since been consolidated into a single action captioned In re Investment Technology Group, Inc. Securities Litigation before the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made material misrepresentations or omitted to disclose material facts concerning, among other subjects, the matters that were the subject of the SEC settlement regarding AlterNet and the SEC investigation that led to the SEC settlement. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages under the federal securities laws.

On November 27, 2015, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a shareholder derivative action captioned Watterson v. Gasser et al. against eleven current or former officers and directors of the Company in the Supreme Court for the State of New York. The Company is named as a nominal defendant, and the plaintiff purports to seek recovery on its behalf. The complaint generally alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company in connection with the matters that were the subject of the SEC settlement regarding AlterNet.

While the Company cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings, the Company intends to defend them as appropriate. Other than the reserves established for the settlement of the arbitration with the Former CEO discussed above, no reserve has been established for any of the matters described above since the Company is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of any potential liability for these lawsuits and other proceedings given the stage of such proceedings. The Company believes, based on information currently available, that the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not likely have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.  In light of the inherent uncertainties of such proceedings, an adverse outcome of one or more of such proceedings may have a material impact on the results of operations for any particular period.

In addition to the above proceedings, the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to, or involved in, investigations and other proceedings by government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, with respect to which we are cooperating.  This includes inquiries relating to industry practices around the borrowing and lending of certain securities, and related transactions and activities.  The activity with respect to these securities, substantially all of which related to our matched-book operations, was discontinued.  Such investigations and other proceedings may result in judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief.  Given the inherent uncertainties and the current stage of these governmental inquiries, and our ongoing reviews, we are unable to predict the outcome of these matters at this time.

The following notes relate to Corporate activity:

(1) The Company received insurance proceeds of $2.4 million in June 2016 from its corporate insurance carrier to settle a claim for lost profits arising from an August 2015 outage in its outsourced primary data center in the U.S. Additionally, the Company generated a nominal gain on the completion of the sale of its investment research operations in May 2016.

(2) During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred $4.4 million in restructuring charges related to (a) the reduction in its high-touch trading and sales organizations and (b) the closing of its U.S. matched-book securities lending operations and its Canadian arbitrage trading desk.

(3) The Company’s new Chief Executive Officer was granted cash and stock awards upon the commencement of his employment in January 2016, a significant portion of which replaced awards he forfeited at his former employer. The amount expensed for these awards during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 was $0.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Due to U.S. tax regulations, only a small portion of the amount expensed for these awards was eligible for a tax deduction.

(4) During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, the Company established a reserve of $2.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for the  arbitration case with its former CEO. In addition, the Company incurred legal fees related to this matter of $2.4 million and $2.7 million during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The Company settled the arbitration case in June 2016. For more information, see Note 18, Contingencies — Legal Matters.

(5) In the second quarter of 2015, the Company reserved $20.3 million for  a settlement with the SEC in connection with the investigation into a proprietary trading pilot and incurred $2.3 million in legal and other related costs associated with this matter.
