Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 18, 2008, William I Jacobs retired from the Board of Directors of Investment Technology Group, Inc. (“ITG”) effectively immediately. In consideration of Mr. Jacobs’ approximately 14 years of dedication and service to ITG, the Board of Directors has decided to accelerate the vesting of all of Mr. Jacobs’ outstanding equity awards and pay his retainer fee through the second quarter of 2008, which, when combined, will approximate $115,000.
Given Mr. Jacobs’ retirement, ITG’s Board of Directors is now comprised of seven members. ITG’s Board of Directors has appointed Robert L. King to replace Mr. Jacobs as chairman of the audit committee of the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. King is a “financial expert” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
