</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On June 14, 2012, FXCM Inc. and FXCM Holdings, LLC, through
its wholly owned subsidiary, FXCM UK Merger Limited (collectively, &ldquo;FXCM&rdquo;), entered into a sale and purchase agreement
(the &ldquo;SPA&rdquo;) with Dierk Reuter and Matthew Wilhelm (the &ldquo;Sellers&rdquo;), pursuant to which, among other things
and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, FXCM will acquire a controlling interest in Lucid Markets Trading
Limited (&ldquo;LMT&rdquo;) and Lucid Markets LLP (together, &ldquo;Lucid Markets&rdquo;) in exchange for approximately $176 million,
net of cash from Lucid Markets (the &ldquo;Acquisition&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">At the closing of the Acquisition, FXCM will cause to be issued
and delivered to the Sellers, (i) a series of six-month unsecured registered promissory notes in the total amount of $71.4 million
plus cash acquired by Lucid Markets, which will bear interest at 3.5% per annum (collectively, the &ldquo;Lucid Notes&rdquo;),
and (ii) 9,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of FXCM Inc. (the &ldquo;Lucid Shares&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the SPA,
the Lucid Shares will be placed into an escrow account to secure the parties obligations under the SPA. The Sellers shall be
entitled to the release of the Lucid shares from escrow, subject to certain restrictions contained in the SPA, as
follows: 1,800,000 of the Lucid Shares at any time on or after the closing of the Acquisition; 1,200,000 of the Lucid Shares
at any time on or after the first anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition; 3,000,000 any time on or after the
second anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition; and the remaining 3,000,000 Lucid Shares any time on or after the
third anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Pursuant to the Deed of Shareholders Agreement discussed
below, FXCM, which will own a controlling interest in LMT, will be entitled to fifty-percent of the profit interest in LMT.
After the closing of the Acquisition, FXCM may, at its option, chose to buy-out the remaining profit interest in LMT subject
to an agreed upon buy-out calculation. If, however, FXCM does not choose to buy-out the remaining profit interest of LMT
prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition, Lucid Markets will then have a single, time-bound option
to buy-back the profit interest in LMT from FXCM at an agreed upon buy-back calculation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Pursuant to the SPA, each of the Sellers covenant that,
generally, for a period of three years from the closing of the Acquisition, they will not compete with the business of Lucid
Markets or FXCM. Additionally, the SPA requires that the Sellers be engaged on a full time basis in the business of LMT or an
FXCM related entity, or such Seller will not be able to sell their respective Lucid Shares until the earlier of either a
FXCM Inc. change of control or until the eighth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Pursuant to the SPA, the Sellers have been given the right to
nominate an individual for appointment to the Board of Directors of FXCM Inc. as well as the right to select an individual to
have non-voting visitation rights to attend FXCM Inc&rsquo;s board meetings and to receive all information provided to the FXCM
Inc.'s directors with respect to such meetings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 0">The
Sellers, LMT, FXCM UK Merger Limited and FXCM Holdings, LLC will enter into a Deed of Shareholders Agreement relating to
LMT whereby the relationship between the parties and the conduct of the business will be outlined,
including, generally, a fifty-percent profit sharing interest between the parties.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">Additionally,
FXCM Inc. and the Sellers will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement which will provide the Sellers with registration
rights, including for shelf registrations, with respect to the resale of the securities to be issued in connection with
the Acquisition as well as certain incidental registration rights attached to certain other offerings.</FONT></P>

issued by FXCM to the Sellers in connection with the Acquisition were offered and sold in reliance upon the exemption

its wholly owned subsidiary, FXCM UK Merger Limited (collectively, "FXCM"), entered into a sale and purchase agreement
(the "SPA") with Dierk Reuter and Matthew Wilhelm (the "Sellers"), pursuant to which, among other things
and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, FXCM will acquire a controlling interest in Lucid Markets Trading
Limited ("LMT") and Lucid Markets LLP (together, "Lucid Markets") in exchange for approximately $176 million,
net of cash from Lucid Markets (the "Acquisition").
At the closing of the Acquisition, FXCM will cause to be issued
and delivered to the Sellers, (i) a series of six-month unsecured registered promissory notes in the total amount of $71.4 million
plus cash acquired by Lucid Markets, which will bear interest at 3.5% per annum (collectively, the "Lucid Notes"),
and (ii) 9,000,000 shares of Class A common stock of FXCM Inc. (the "Lucid Shares").
Pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the SPA,
the Lucid Shares will be placed into an escrow account to secure the parties obligations under the SPA. The Sellers shall be
entitled to the release of the Lucid shares from escrow, subject to certain restrictions contained in the SPA, as
follows: 1,800,000 of the Lucid Shares at any time on or after the closing of the Acquisition; 1,200,000 of the Lucid Shares
at any time on or after the first anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition; 3,000,000 any time on or after the
second anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition; and the remaining 3,000,000 Lucid Shares any time on or after the
third anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition.
Pursuant to the Deed of Shareholders Agreement discussed
below, FXCM, which will own a controlling interest in LMT, will be entitled to fifty-percent of the profit interest in LMT.
After the closing of the Acquisition, FXCM may, at its option, chose to buy-out the remaining profit interest in LMT subject
to an agreed upon buy-out calculation. If, however, FXCM does not choose to buy-out the remaining profit interest of LMT
prior to the fourth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition, Lucid Markets will then have a single, time-bound option
to buy-back the profit interest in LMT from FXCM at an agreed upon buy-back calculation.
Pursuant to the SPA, each of the Sellers covenant that,
generally, for a period of three years from the closing of the Acquisition, they will not compete with the business of Lucid
Markets or FXCM. Additionally, the SPA requires that the Sellers be engaged on a full time basis in the business of LMT or an
FXCM related entity, or such Seller will not be able to sell their respective Lucid Shares until the earlier of either a
FXCM Inc. change of control or until the eighth anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition.
Pursuant to the SPA, the Sellers have been given the right to
nominate an individual for appointment to the Board of Directors of FXCM Inc. as well as the right to select an individual to
have non-voting visitation rights to attend FXCM Inc's board meetings and to receive all information provided to the FXCM
Inc.'s directors with respect to such meetings.
The
Sellers, LMT, FXCM UK Merger Limited and FXCM Holdings, LLC will enter into a Deed of Shareholders Agreement relating to
LMT whereby the relationship between the parties and the conduct of the business will be outlined,
including, generally, a fifty-percent profit sharing interest between the parties.
Additionally,
FXCM Inc. and the Sellers will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement which will provide the Sellers with registration
rights, including for shelf registrations, with respect to the resale of the securities to be issued in connection with
the Acquisition as well as certain incidental registration rights attached to certain other offerings.

As described in Item 1.01, pursuant

from registration provided by Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the Lucid Shares, as a portion of the
consideration, was a privately negotiated transaction only with the Sellers and did not involve a general solicitation.
