Institutional Volume Disclosure

Beginning with the January 2016 metrics release, GAIN’s GTX trading volume, previously presented on a combined basis, is now shown in two categories: Electronic Communication Network (ECN) and Swap Dealer. ECN volume represents spot FX volume executed via our proprietary trading platform and NDF volume executed through our Swap Execution Facility.  Swap Dealer volume represents spot, forwards, swaps, options and non-deliverable forwards executed through our registered swap dealer. Previously, trading volumes for GAIN’s ECN were presented on a double-count basis and Swap Dealer trading volumes shown on a single-count basis.  The Company has adjusted its ECN volume presentation to a single-count basis.  The historical operating metrics found on the Company’s investor relations website have been updated to reflect this change.

This operating data is preliminary and subject to revision and should not be taken as an indication of GAIN’s financial performance. GAIN undertakes no obligation to publicly update or review previously reported operating data.
