  • BATS Global Markets S1 Filing With SEC Warns BATS-Chi-X Europe May Leave London If UK Brexits

    Date 01/02/2016

    BATS Global Markets has indirect exposure to the European sovereign debt crisis.

    BATS Chi-X Europe may from time to time hold cash reserves in U.K. sovereign government debt, commonly known as Gilts. In addition, many of its customers are banks who may hold investments in Euro-denominated sovereign debt. To the extent those customers are negatively impacted by those investments, they may be less able to pay amounts owed to us or renew service agreements with us. Such developments could negatively affect our business. Further, to the extent that sovereign debt concerns depress economic activity, it may negatively impact the number of transactions processed on our trading venues, resulting in lower revenue.

    In addition, an exit from the Euro by an E.U. Member State or an ongoing recession in the Euro zone and the related Euro crisis could lead to foreign exchange volatility and a potential loss of revenues if trading volumes are negatively impacted across all of our trading platforms. In particular, a referendum to vote on the United Kingdom's continued membership in the European Union is anticipated by the end of 2017. Should the United Kingdom vote to withdraw from the European Union, there may be an unfavorable business environment for companies with operations in the United Kingdom that do business in the European Union. In such a case, BATS Chi-X Europe may move some or all of its operations to the European Union and the related costs and expenses could have a material adverse effect on our business.
