About the Lawsuit

FXCM and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.

These false statements and omissions included, in part, that: (i) FXCM's agency model of FX trading did not insulate it from financial risk from its heavily leveraged clients; (ii) FXCM did not disclose the true potential risk posed by market volatility; and (iii) FXCM did not maintain sufficient regulatory capital reserves for unforeseen scenarios.

On January 16, 2015, FXCM announced that Leucadia National Corp. would be providing a loan of $300 million in cash to FXCM to allow it to meet its regulatory-capital requirements and avoid possible bankruptcy.

On this news, trading of the FXCM's stock was suspended. Once the stock resumed trading, the price of FXCM's shares plummeted.
