NEW YORK, NY,  September 19, 2018 — Virtu Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIRT) (the “Company”), a leading technology-enabled market maker and liquidity provider to the global financial markets, today announced the completion of a repricing transaction of its 1st Lien Secured Term Loan (the “Term Loan”) along with a principal prepayment of $74 million.

 

Following the prepayment and the amendment, the total balance of the Term Loan has been reduced to $400 million, which reflects cumulative total prepayments of $750 million since the Company’s acquisition of KCG Holdings, Inc.
