Exhibit 99.1

Sales Plan

Sales Plan, adopted February�2, 2015 (the �Sales Plan�), between the Daniel V. Tierney 2011 Trust (�Seller�) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (�JPMS�). The purpose of this Sales Plan is to achieve the investment objectives of broader diversification of investments, while reducing the risk of over concentration in a particular investment.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to establish this Sales Plan to sell shares of common stock (the �Stock�) of KCG Holdings, Inc. (the �Issuer�); and

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell a total of 3,000,000 shares of Stock (the �Total Plan Shares�), and

WHEREAS, the Seller desires to engage JPMS to effect sales of shares of Stock in accordance with this Sales Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Seller and JPMS hereby agree as follows:

A. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SALES PLAN

1. JPMS shall effect sales (each a �Sale�) of shares of Stock only on days on which the New York Stock Exchange (the �Exchange�) is open and the Stock trades regular way on the Exchange, pursuant to the specific instructions specified on Schedule A.

2. Seller acknowledges and agrees that JPMS will handle the above order on a best efforts basis. In the event any limit prices of orders are away from the prevailing market prices at any time, there can be no assurance that such orders will be executed in whole or in part. Seller agrees that all orders may be partially executed and will not be treated as an all or none order. JPMS may effect sales of Stock which may coincide with sales of Stock by other accounts held with JPMS including, but not limited to, sales made pursuant to other sales plans with JPMS. In such instances, JPMS will make allocations in a manner believed by JPMS to be equitable to each client. JPMS may aggregate sales of Stock under this Sales Plan with sales of the Stock by other JPMS accounts.

3. Seller agrees to deposit 3,000,000 shares of Stock into the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Asset Custody Account or JPMS Margin Brokerage Account (each, an �Account�). JPMS reserves the right to suspend or cancel this Sales Plan prior to the first Sale if the shares of Stock have not been deposited into an Account for any reason. JPMS shall withdraw Stock from the Seller�s Account in order to effect sales of Stock under this Sales Plan. If on any day that sales are to be made under this Sales Plan the number of shares of Stock in the Seller�s Account is less than the number of shares to be

1


LOGO

sold on such day, then JPMS shall notify Seller promptly of such deficiency, and Seller agrees to promptly deposit into the Account the number of shares of Stock necessary to eliminate such deficiency.

4. Seller agrees not to remove or transfer shares of Stock out of the Account in any manner that would cause an alteration of, or deviation from, the terms of this Sales Plan.

5. To the extent that any Stock remains in the Seller�s Account upon termination of this Sales Plan, JPMS agrees to return any such Stock for which JPMS had restrictions removed for the purpose of this Sales Plan promptly to the Issuer�s transfer agent for relegending to the extent that such Stock would then be subject to transfer restrictions in the hands of the Seller.

6. JPMS will deduct its reasonable and customary commissions from the proceeds of sales of Stock under this Sales Plan, together with any other expenses incurred by JPMS in connection with such sales.

7. The Total Plan Shares, the shares to be sold on a particular day, and the limit prices, shall be adjusted automatically on a proportionate basis to take into account any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend with respect to the Stock or any change in capitalization with respect to the Issuer that occurs during the term of this Sales Plan.

8. Subject to Paragraph F.5, this Sales Plan shall become effective on March�3, 2015 (�Effective Date�), and shall terminate on the earlier of (a)�the close of business on February�29, 2016; (b)�the date on which the Total Plan Shares have been sold; (c)�the date this Sales Plan is terminated pursuant to Section E; (d)�the date on which the unit of JPMS responsible for executing sales of Stock pursuant to this Sales Plan receives notice or otherwise becomes aware of (i)�the closing of a tender or exchange offer with respect to the Stock or of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, recapitalization or comparable transaction affecting the securities of the Issuer as a result of which the Stock is to be exchanged or converted into shares of another company or for other consideration; (ii)�the revocation of the Seller�s trust; or (iii)�the commencement or impending commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by Seller�s bankruptcy or insolvency.

9. Seller acknowledges and agrees that it does not have authority, influence or control over any sales of Stock effected by JPMS pursuant to this Sales Plan, and will not attempt to exercise any authority, influence or control over such sales. JPMS agrees not to seek advice from Seller with respect to the manner in which it effects sales under this Sales Plan. JPMS shall execute the trades in such a way as to attempt to minimize the negative price impact on the market and to attempt to maximize the prices obtained for the shares sold.�JPMS may use its discretion in how to work the order to attempt to achieve the best execution above the minimum price per share, but at no time will the Seller communicate to JPMS any instructions on how to execute the order.

2

10. Seller will be notified of all transactions pursuant to customary trade confirmations that are provided in the normal course of business. In addition, JPMS will notify both the Issuer and the Seller via email of each transaction pursuant to this Sales Plan no later than one business day after the trading date of such transaction.

11. Seller understands that JPMS may not be able to effect a sale due to a market disruption or a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to JPMS, an insufficient number of shares of Stock being in the Account, JPMS having received written confirmation from the Issuer that the Issuer has not complied with the reporting requirements of Section�13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the �Exchange Act�) that are a condition to complying with Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the �Securities Act�), or a pending sale under this Sales Plan causing Seller to exceed any applicable volume limitations of Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act. If any sale cannot be executed as required by Paragraph A.1 due to: (a)�Issuer not complying with the reporting requirements of Section�13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are a condition to complying with Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act, JPMS will carry over any unsold shares to be sold in whole or in increments pursuant to the terms of Schedule A as and when the Issuer has provided written confirmation to JPMS that the Issuer is currently compliant with such reporting requirements; (b)�the applicable volume limitations of Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act, then JPMS will recalculate the volume limitations on a weekly basis and carry over any unsold shares to be sold in whole or in increments pursuant to the terms of Schedule A as and when the volume limitations permit; or (c)�a market disruption, a legal, regulatory or contractual restriction applicable to JPMS or any other such event, such sale shall be cancelled and shall not be effected pursuant to this Sales Plan, and, notwithstanding any language to the contrary herein, there shall be no carryover associated with such cancelled sale other than as set forth in Schedule A.

12. It is the intent of the parties that this Sales Plan comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Exchange Act and this Sales Plan shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

13. In the event that it is necessary for JPMS to borrow or purchase shares of Stock in order to complete any sale on behalf of Seller pursuant to this sales Plan, Seller authorizes JPMS to borrow or purchase such shares and agrees to be responsible for any expense or loss which JPMS may sustain relating to such borrowing or purchase, including any expense or loss JPMS may sustain as a result of its inability to borrow or purchase shares of Stock to complete its delivery obligation.

B. RULES 144 AND 145

The following three paragraphs shall only apply to Sellers who are subject to Rules 144 and 145.

1. JPMS agrees to conduct all sales in accordance with the manner of sale requirement of Rule 144 or 145 under the Securities Act, and in no event shall JPMS

3


LOGO

effect any such sale if such sale would exceed the then applicable volume limitation under Rule 144, assuming JPMS�s sales under this Sales Plan and those notified to JPMS pursuant to Paragraph B.3 are the only sales subject to that limitation. JPMS will be responsible for completing and filing on behalf of the Seller the required Form 144s that Seller shall execute and provide, as requested by JPMS. Seller understands and agrees that JPMS shall make one Form 144 filing at the start of each three-month period with the initial filing made on the date on which the first order to sell Stock is placed hereunder.

2. Each such Form 144 shall state in the �Remarks� section that the sales thereunder are being made pursuant to a previously adopted plan intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c), shall include the date the Seller adopted this Sales Plan and shall indicate that the representation regarding the Seller�s knowledge of material information speaks as of the adoption date of this Sales Plan.

3. Seller agrees not to take any action that would cause the sales not to comply with Rule 144 or 145, and Seller agrees not to cause any person or entity with which Seller would be required to aggregate sales of Stock pursuant to paragraph (a)(2) or (e)�of Rule 144 to take any action that would cause the sales not to comply with Rules 144 or 145. Seller will provide notice of any such transactions during the three months preceding the date hereof and may not enter into any other selling program or transaction without the prior consent of JPMS.

C. REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS OF SELLER

1. Seller represents and warrants that as of the time of execution of, and entering into, this Sales Plan: (a)�to the best of Seller�s knowledge there is no blackout period (as defined in 17 C.F.R.

2. At the time of Seller�s execution of this Sales Plan, Seller has not entered into or altered a corresponding or hedging transaction with respect to the Total Plan Shares. Seller agrees not to enter into any such transaction while this Sales Plan remains in effect.

3. Seller agrees to make all filings, if any, required under and monitor its own compliance with Sections 13(d), 13(g) and 16 of the Exchange Act.

4. Except as provided in Paragraph B.1, Seller acknowledges and agrees that JPMS has no duty to determine whether Seller has violated Rules 144 or 145 under the Securities Act, or Sections 13(d), 13(g) or 16 of the Exchange Act or the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder. Seller understands that this Sales Plan in no way alters its obligations and responsibilities under Section�16, including those prohibitions against short swing profits.

6. Seller agrees to notify JPMS immediately in the event of trading restrictions being imposed as the result of any lock-up event restricting sales by affiliates, such as a stock offering or tender offer.

7.

D. INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY

This indemnification shall survive termination of this Sales Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no indemnification obligation to the extent any claims, losses, damages or liabilities are due to the gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct of JPMS or any other indemnified person.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither JPMS nor Seller shall be liable to the other and its directors, officers, employees and affiliates for: (a)�special, indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, even if advised of the possibility of such losses or damages or if such losses or damages could have been reasonably foreseen; or (b)�any failure to perform or to cease performance or any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to failure of electronic or mechanical equipment, strikes, failure of common carrier or utility systems, severe weather, market disruptions or other causes commonly known as �acts of God�.
