Item�1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Stock Purchase Agreement
On October 31, 2014, GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the Share Purchase Agreement ) with City Index Group Limited, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales (the Seller), INCAP Gaming B.V., a company incorporated and registered in The Netherlands (INCAP), and IPGL Limited, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales (IPGL).
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to purchase the entire issued and outstanding share capital (the Shares) of City Index (Holdings) Limited, a company incorporated and registered in England and Wales (City) from the Seller. The Shares will be sold for an aggregate purchase price consisting of (i)�US$20,000,000 in cash, including US$1,000,000 in cash to be held in escrow (the Escrow Cash); (ii) 5,319,149 shares of the Companys common stock (the Consideration Shares), including 4,787,234 Consideration Shares to be held in escrow (the Escrow Shares); and (iii) 4.125% unsecured convertible loan notes of the Company (the Convertible Notes) with an aggregate principal amount of US$60,000,000, including Convertible Notes with an aggregate principal amount of US$54,000,000 to be held in escrow (the Escrow Notes). The Escrow Cash, Escrow Shares and the Escrow Notes will be held in escrow for a period of four years following the closing of the transaction to secure the purchase price adjustment, any indemnity obligations of the Seller and any liabilities which the Seller may have for breach of warranty under the Share Purchase Agreement, unless earlier released as a result of IPGLs election to guarantee the obligations of the Seller under the Share Purchase Agreement. The Share Purchase Agreement also provides for staged scheduled releases of the Escrow Cash, Escrow Shares and Escrow Notes over such four year period. The purchase price is subject to upwards or downwards adjustments based on Citys working capital, regulatory capital and cash and debt as of the date of the closing of the transaction (the Closing Date).
The Company and the Seller have each made customary warranties. Subject to certain limitations, the Seller has agreed to indemnify the Company for losses suffered by the Company in respect of certain known pre-existing liabilities. The Company may not make a claim against the Seller unless the Company provides notice of such claim to the Seller before (i) the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date in the case of claims for breach of tax warranties or tax covenants, (ii) the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date in the case of claims for breach of certain fundamental warranties and (iii) 18 months after the Closing Date in the case of claims for breach of any other warranties of the Seller. Subject to certain exceptions, the Sellers liability under the Share Purchase Agreement is subject to an aggregate cap of US$115,000,000 and, in the case of its liability in respect of breaches of the Sellers warranties (other than certain fundamental warranties) and tax covenants, a subcap of US$48,000,000. The Sellers liability in respect of claims arising from the breach of the Sellers warranties (other than certain fundamental warranties) is also subject to a threshold of US$1,000,000.
The Seller and City are subject to customary covenants between the date of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Closing Date, including an agreement by the Seller to procure that the business of City is conducted in the normal course consistent with past practices, and not to take certain actions specified in the Share Purchase Agreement. The Seller and INCAP have each also agreed, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of two years from the Closing Date, (a) not to carry on any business that competes with the Company in any geographic area where the Company was engaged in business during the twelve months immediately preceding the Closing Date and (b) not to employ or solicit any current employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries engaged in an executive or managerial position.
Closing of the transaction is subject to the approval by the stockholders of the Company of the issuance of the Consideration Shares and the Convertible Notes (the Company Stockholder Approval) at the closing and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, including certain regulatory approvals. The Company is obligated to pay to Seller a fee of US$1,000,000 if the Company Stockholder Approval is not obtained at a meeting of the Companys stockholders. The Share Purchase Agreement will be terminated immediately 180 days after the date of the Share Purchase Agreement (the Long Stop Date) if the transaction is not closed by such time, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The Share Purchase Agreement may also be terminated by the Company upon a material breach by the Seller of its warranties or its pre-closing covenants.
INCAP has guaranteed the payment obligations of the Seller under the Share Purchase Agreement for a period of seven years following the closing of the transaction, unless IPGL elects to guarantee the payment obligations of the Seller under the Share Purchase Agreement prior to such time but on or after 18 months following the Closing Date.
Stockholders Agreement
In connection with the Share Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the Stockholders Agreement ) with the Seller, INCAP, Francisco Partners II, L.P., Sun Luxco I, Sarl and Sun Luxco II, Sarl dated as of October 31, 2014.

Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Stockholders Agreement, including the satisfaction of the eligibility standards established by the Companys Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, INCAP will have the right to nominate one director to the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) and the Company will increase the size of the Board by one member upon INCAPs request to nominate its director designee to the Board. INCAPs director designee shall be entitled to remain a director, subject to certain conditions, until the earlier of such time as (i) INCAP ceases to beneficially own at least 5% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the Common Stock) and other securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock (calculated on an as-converted-to-Common Stock basis) (the Ownership Threshold) and (ii) INCAPs right to nominate a director is terminated by the Company following such time as INCAP ceases to be controlled by the direct or indirect equity holders of INCAP as of the date of the Stockholders Agreement. At any time INCAPs director designee is not serving on the Board and INCAP has the right to nominate a director under the Stockholders Agreement, INCAP has the right to designate one individual as a non-voting observer to the Board.
2

The Seller is subject to customary standstill provisions that prevent the Seller from, among other things, engaging in any solicitation of proxies with respect to the voting of the voting securities of the Company, entering into or proposing certain fundamental transactions involving the Company or calling a meeting of shareholders or taking any action or making any public statement to seek to control or influence the management, the Board or policies of the Company. The standstill provisions will cease to apply upon the earliest to occur of (i)�the time at which the Seller and its affiliates beneficially own less than the Ownership Threshold, (ii)�five years from the Closing Date and (iii) the public announcement by the Company that it has entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a fundamental transaction with a third party.
The Seller has agreed to vote all voting securities it holds or over which it has voting power for all of the nominees on the slate of directors recommended for election by the Board at the 2015 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company.
The Seller is also subject to certain restrictions on transfer of its securities of the Company. Among other restrictions, the Seller may not transfer its securities of the Company until six months after the Closing Date, after which time the Seller may transfer up to 16.67% of its securities of the Company (calculated on an as-converted-to-Common Stock basis) every three months, subject to compliance with Rule 144 in a manner that avoids directed block sales.
Convertible Notes Indenture
The Convertible Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture to be dated on or about the Closing Date, in substantially the form attached to the Share Purchase Agreement (the Indenture). The Convertible Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.125% per year, payable semiannually, and will mature on a date that will be approximately five years following the Closing Date.
Prior to the date that is six months immediately preceding the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes will be convertible only upon the occurrence of specified events set forth in the Indenture. Thereafter, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Convertible Notes at any time. The Company will settle conversions of the Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, at its election. The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes will be equal to $1,000, divided by the initial conversion price, rounded down to the nearest 1/10,000th share of Common Stock. The initial conversion price will be equal to 125% of the arithmetic average of the daily volume-weighted average price for the Common Stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date; provided that the initial conversion price (x) shall not exceed the greater of (i) $9.25 and (ii) the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the Closing Date and (y) shall not be less than $7.20. The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price will be subject to adjustment in certain circumstances described in the Indenture.
If the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, in certain circumstances, the Company may be required to increase the conversion rate for any Convertible Notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture).
Prior to the date that is two years immediately preceding the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, the Company will not have the right to redeem the Convertible Notes. During the two year period immediately preceding the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, the Company may redeem for cash all, but not less than all, of the Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of the Common Stock exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days, whether or not consecutive, during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date the Company delivers notice of the redemption.
Registration Rights Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the RRA) with VantagePoint Venture Partners IV (Q), L.P., VantagePoint Venture Partners IV, L.P., VantagePoint Venture Partners Principals Fund, L.P., VP New York Venture Partners, L.P. (collectively, the VantagePoint Entities), Edison Venture Fund IV SBIC, L.P., Edison Partners IV SBIC, LLC (together with Edison Venture Fund IV SBIC, L.P., the Edison Entities and, together with the VantagePoint Entities, the Other Investors), the Seller and INCAP. Pursuant to the terms of the RRA, upon the request of the Seller, any Other Investor or other parties to the RRA holding at least 30% of the Common Stock and the Convertible Notes (calculated on an as-converted-to-Common-Stock basis) subject to the RRA (the Registrable Securities), the Company must use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement registering the offer and sale of the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such request. Each of the Seller, and the Other Investors, taken together, may not request a registration of Registrable Securities more than twice each and Seller may not request a registration of Registrable Securities prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date. The Sellers and the Other Investors registration rights are also subject to additional limitations, including a limitation that no registration is required by the Company unless the anticipated aggregate price to the public (after deduction for underwriters discounts and expenses related to the issuance) of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered is equal to or greater than US$20,000,000. The Company must also use reasonable best efforts to file and cause to become effective a shelf registration statement registering all Registrable Securities within six months of the Closing Date. The Seller and the Other Investors also have customary piggy-back registration rights under the RRA.
Concurrently with the entry into the RRA by the Company, the Other Investors, the Seller and INCAP, the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated January 11, 2008 among the Company, the Other Investors, Mark Galant, The Mark E. Galant 2007 GRAT, Cross Atlantic Technology Fund, L.P., Blue Rock Capital, L.P., Tudor Ventures II, L.P., The Raptor Global Portfolio, Ltd., ALTAR Rock Fund L.P., 3i U.S. Growth Partners L.P. and 3i Technology Partners III L.P, as amended by the Amendment to the Investor Rights Agreement dated November 18, 2013 among the Company, the Other Investors and Mark E.

Bedminster, N.J. October 31, 2014 -- GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: GCAP, GAIN), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire City Index (Holdings) Limited (City Index), a leading online trading firm specializing in contracts-for-difference (CFDs), forex and UK spread betting, for approximately $118 million1, or a net purchase price of $82 million, including $36 million in cash on the companys balance sheet.
The combination of GAIN Capital and City Index creates a global leader in online trading, operating two market-leading brands in GAINs FOREX.com, a top retail forex brand globally, and City Index, a premier CFD and spread bet brand.��The combined company will service 235,000 retail customers in over 180 countries with annual trading volumes of more than $3 trillion.
The acquisition of City Index advances our growth strategy, creating scale for our retail business and accelerates the development of our innovative trading technology, said Glenn Stevens, GAINs chief executive officer.��The combination will result in a balanced mix of customer volume, with approximately 61% of retail volume coming from FX and 39% from CFD trading/UK spread betting in other asset classes such as equities, indices and commodities.��We look forward to leveraging the City Index brand in key markets and working with the team at City Index, who share our commitment to creating a superior customer experience.
This transaction is a landmark moment in City Indexs 30-year history as a leader in retail trading, said Mark Preston, City Indexs Chairman and Chief Executive. The combination of GAINs unrivalled leadership in global foreign exchange with City Indexs internationally-recognized CFD business creates a world-class industry leader, providing the scale and capability to deliver the ultimate trading experience to our clients around the world. The combined business will also offer greater opportunities for City Indexs management and staff to flourish in a global business.
Founded in London in 1983 as one of UKs first spread betting companies, City Index is today one of the worlds leading providers of CFDs, forex and UK spread betting, offering more than 10,000 products


1��The estimated total transaction value is based on the closing price of GAIN Capital common stock on October 30, 2014.��The purchase price for accounting purposes will be determined upon the closing of the acquisition and will depend on GAIN Capitals stock price at that time.


across equity, index, FX, commodity and bond CFDs and spread bets.��City Index is majority owned by IPGL, the private holding company for the interests of Michael Spencer, Founder and Chief Executive of ICAP plc, the global markets operator.�
I am very pleased we have been able to agree to this transaction, which brings benefits for everyone, said Michael Spencer. I believe GAIN is an outstanding company and will be able to move City Index to the next level, by leveraging its broad array of trading products and services onto a global platform. We believe this combination will enhance GAINs leadership position in the FX/CFD industry by putting together two highly complementary companies to create significant value for customers and stakeholders. This is the latest example of the way that IPGL is able to invest actively in businesses over the long term to support their growth and development.
For the 12 month period ended September 30, 2014, City Index generated $124.8 million in revenue and $10.7 million in adjusted EBITDA.��It had approximately 104,000 funded retail accounts and $344 million in customer assets as of September 30, 2014.
The combined company will have pro forma client assets of approximately $1.2 billion, and trailing twelve month revenues and adjusted EBITDA, for the period ended September 30, 2014, of $462 million and $61 million, respectively.��GAIN has identified $45 million - $55 million of fixed operating expense synergies, relative to the combined companys trailing twelve-month expenses, and expects to begin realizing theses synergies promptly after closing with full integration achieved over the ensuing 18-24 months.��GAIN expects for this acquisition to become highly accretive over this time period and anticipates achieving accretive results by the fourth quarter following closing.
The transaction follows the successful acquisition and integration of GFT, which closed in September 2013, where GAIN Capital achieved approximately $40 million of run rate expense synergies.
City Index clients will not see any immediate impact to the customer service they receive, their account administration or how they trade. All clients will receive more detailed information about the benefits the combined company can offer them, once the acquisition is completed.
Terms of the Transaction
The purchase price will consist of $20 million in cash, $60 million of convertible notes and the issuance of approximately 5.3 million GAIN shares.��The total purchase price of $118 million represents a $28 million premium above City Indexs book value as of September 30, 2014.
In addition to the $36 million of cash on its books as of September 30, 2014, City Index also has $65 million of net operating losses which can be carried forward following the closing of the transaction.
The transaction is subject to approval by GAIN Capital stockholders, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015.

(*) Reconciliation of Net Income to Cash Net Income and Cash EPS
Cash net income is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents our net income excluding depreciation and amortization, purchased intangible amortization and non-cash interest expense. This non-GAAP financial measure has certain limitations, including that it does not have a standardized meaning and, therefore, our definition may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts. Thus, it may be more difficult to compare our financial performance to that of other companies. We believe our reporting of cash net income assists investors in evaluating our operating performance. However, because cash net income is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, such measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of our financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as net income.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring, acquisition and integration-related expenses, impairment on investment and gain on extinguishment of debt. This non-GAAP financial measure has certain limitations, including that it does not have a standardized meaning and, therefore, our definition may be different from similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and/or analysts. Thus, it may be more difficult to compare our financial performance to that of other companies. We believe our reporting of adjusted EBITDA assists investors in evaluating our operating performance. However, because adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, such measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of our financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as net income.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is adjusted EBITDA over net revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation contains various non-GAAP financial measures, including
Adjusted EBITDA and Cash EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures have certain
limitations, including that they do not have a standardized meaning and,
therefore, our definitions may be different from similar non-GAAP financial
measures used by other companies and/or analysts. Thus, it may be more
difficult to compare our financial performance to that of other companies. We
believe our reporting of these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors in
evaluating our historical and expected operating performance. However, because
these are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with
GAAP, such measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a
substitute for, other measures of our financial performance reported in
accordance with GAAP, such as net income.

                                                                               2
