{quote} Can anyone explain in layman's terms what this deal actually means? How will it change FXCM if at all?
back to business.

at least we know that they really meant that they pass on the market orders to the actual market.

Hi Everyone,

I know you have been waiting for more information from me, and I would like to thank you for your patience. I wanted to post sooner but the nature of such announcements required me to wait until the official press release:

Leucadia National Corporation and FXCM Announce $300 Million Financing to Permit FXCM to Continue Normal Operations

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Leucadia National Corporation (NYSE: LUK) and FXCM (NYSE: FXCM) today announced that Leucadia would be providing $300 million in cash to FXCM and its subsidiaries (collectively "FXCM") that will permit FXCM to meet its regulatory-capital requirements and continue normal operations after yesterday's loss of $225 million due to the unprecedented actions of the Swiss National Bank. Under the terms of the agreements, Leucadia is investing $300 million in cash into FXCM in the form of a $300 million senior secured term loan with a two-year maturity and an initial coupon of 10%. The term loan obligations are guaranteed, on a secured basis, by certain of FXCM's domestic subsidiaries. In addition, Leucadia will receive, in the event of a sale of FXCM or its subsidiaries, a certain percentage of the sale proceeds and, in the event FXCM makes other distributions on account of its equity, a corresponding payment for its own account. This transaction is expected to close this afternoon. Drew Niv, Chief Executive Officer of FXCM, stated: "We could not be more grateful to Leucadia and its team for their rapid and effective response and to our regulators, who have been willing to work with us through this challenging process. Leucadia's support and this financing are by far the best alternative for FXCM, our customers, our shareholders, and all other relevant constituencies. We are pleased to continue to act as the leading online provider of foreign exchange trading and related services to retail and institutional customers worldwide."

I always liked trading with FXCM, but after this event and thouroughly reading through some of FXCMs terms,(specifically the ones related to company insolvency) I am withdrawing my money and moving to citipro. The lack of ANY information from FXCM via email or phone the last days was a complete letdown.

This is really good news and I hope FXCM looks into their internal operations to prevent this from happening in the future.

Oh boy!! Jason Rogers in flesh and bone retraced from a early unsubscription

Anyways, nice to see FXCM bailed out.

The new boss will probably make sure those 300M comes out of our butts in a probable new pricing structure.

But thats better than getting cents on the dollar after a messy bankruptcy battle.
So, you think you have rights? LOL

Thanks, Jason.

But it looks like you're now a Leucadia National employee (sorry, there's no leg-pulling emoticon).

All is good that ends well!

I knew it that fxcm will pull through, but honestly - I was expecting a bit more transparency from reps. At least around here. Saying a "we're here, on it", "hang in there, it'll be ok, can't comment" or whatever would've been nicer than silenzio stampa. There's a lesson in it for the future, fxcm guys.

Here's to the next trading week! And what a week it will be.

his hands were tied. Remember FXCM is an Public company, compared to many other private companies. Any information he shares will be considered insider trading if it is not known to the public already. It is more an legal issue than anything else.
