William J.

As such, it now makes sense to put the Company in the hands of professional owners. William J. Pulte added that he strongly encourages the Board of Directors of the Company to pursue strategic alternatives, including but not limited to selling themselves to an owner who can unlock the true potential of the Company. William J. Pulte also stated that if change is not made soon, the Company will and should be sold. He stands ready to help usher in the change for a new generation of the Company. If the Company does not elect to explore a sale, he might be forced to bring forth a proxy contest or other actions as appropriate, legal, and necessary. Board Change • Dec 05

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 2, 2024. If you purchased Virtu Class A common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) detailed confidential trading information from Virtu’s execution services customers was accessible to essentially everyone at Virtu via a widely known and regularly shared generic username and password, including to proprietary traders, who could abuse and benefit from that information; Virtu was unable to monitor which of its employees logged into the trading information in Virtu Americas, LLC primary database for daily business operations, as well as a backup database (together, the "FS Database"), or what information was viewed; as a direct result of complaints by Virtu’s traders about the FS Database’s capacity limits, Virtu increased the number of users who could have simultaneous access; Virtu failed to take reasonable steps to prevent or even detect dissemination or abuse of this trading information; and Virtu’s policies and procedures were inadequate to prevent unauthorized use of trading information from Virtu’s execution services customers.

Virtu Financial Provides an Update on Ongoing SEC Matter Virtu Financial, Inc. provided supplemental information regarding a previously disclosed SEC enforcement matter. As described in recent public filings, Virtu has responded to requests for information from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with an investigation of aspects of its internal information barriers from January 2018 to April 2019, a period that predates Virtu’s integration of post-trade data from Investment Technology Group Inc. (ITG), and has engaged in discussions to settle the matter. As an update, Virtu has been unable to reach an acceptable settlement and the SEC initiated a civil lawsuit against Virtu. SEC lawsuit focuses on hypothetical internal access to data – but importantly does not allege actual inappropriate access or use The SEC’s complaint alleges that (i) Virtu’s policies and procedures were not reasonably designed during the period to prevent the internal misuse of material nonpublic information and (ii) that certain of Virtu's statements made concerning these policies and procedures were false. Significantly, the SEC does not allege, and there is no evidence to indicate, that any data was ever accessed or used in an inappropriate manner. Virtu has continuously maintained reasonable policies, procedures and controls to protect data Virtu rejects the SEC’s allegations and underlying theory that the temporary hypothetical possibility of access by a broader group of Virtu employees rendered its policies and procedures “unreasonable”. Virtu has continuously maintained policies and procedures that were and are reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of confidential information — consistent with its obligations under applicable laws — and public statements made regarding its policies and procedures were true and accurate. Notably, the SEC’s escalation of its years-long investigation follows Virtu’s public criticism of SEC market structure rule proposals released in December 2022 and Virtu’s lawsuit against the SEC to seek records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) related to the rulemaking process.
