NovitasFTCL Advises The Shareholders Of Neonet On Its Sale To KCG

We are pleased to announce that NovitasFTCL acted as exclusive financial adviser to the shareholders of Neonet (including Hay Tor Capital, KAS BANK and Nordic Capital/Cidron Delphi Intressenter) in its sale to KCG. This is the third sale of a European business to a US buyer that we announce so far in 2016, following the Risk Intelligence Ireland/Verisk Analytics and AlgoSpan/Pico transactions.

Founded in 1996, Neonet is an independent agency equity broker and execution specialist headquartered in Stockholm (Sweden). A pioneer in electronic trading, it serves clients in over 20 countries

KCG is a leading securities firm listed in the US. It combines advanced technology with specialized client service across market making, agency execution and venues, and also engages in principal trading via exchange-based market making. Its acquisition of Neonet allows KCG to strengthen its reach in continental Europe and will enable both KCG's and Neonet's clients to access a more complete range of international execution services and capabilities.
