BATS Global Markets Reports November Volume - Record Fifth Consecutive Month Above 12% Market Share In U.S. Equities - BATS Chi-X Europe Reports 25.3% - U.S. Options Reports 3.6%

Date 03/12/2012

BATS Global Markets (BATS), a leading operator of securities markets in the U.S. and Europe, reported November data, including the third best U.S. equities market share in its history (12.7%), a record fifth consecutive month above 12%.

BATS Chi-X Europe reported market share of 25.3%, maintaining its position as the largest equity market in Europe during 2012. BATS Options reported 3.6% market share, up from 3.1% one year ago.

Overall, the industry’s volumes are lower than a year ago, and yet despite these industry headwinds we’re pleased to report that BATS Global Markets continues to grow, not only in market share but also in overall profitability,” said Joe Ratterman, president and chief executive of BATS Global Markets. “The past year has been our best on almost every level and we plan to continue our growth in 2013 and beyond.

“We look forward to the launch of our recently approved Retail Price Improvement program in the U.S. in mid-December and are excited about the recent release of new risk management tools, including a customer-driven ‘kill switch,’” he said. “And we’re proud of the hard work of our team and support of our customers who have helped us maintain our strong position in Europe one year after the completion of our acquisition of Chi-X Europe.”

BATS operates two stock exchanges in the U.S. – the BATS BZX Exchange and BATS BYX Exchange (the BATS Exchanges); BATS Options, a U.S. equity options market; and BATS Chi-X Europe, the largest equity market in Europe.
