(the "Company") and certain current and former officers have been named as defendants in two putative class action lawsuits brought in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey which seek damages based on alleged violations of the federal securities laws. One, Patricia Murray et al. v. Knight Trading Group, Inc. et al., concerns statements allegedly made by Company employees with respect to projected earnings during the third quarter of 2000 and alleged trading in Company common stock by certain individual defendants. The second, Prager v. Knight Trading Group, Inc. et al., alleges, generally, that the Company improperly traded in securities for its own account in advance of trading in securities for broker/dealer clients. Both lawsuits seek undetermined damages and are in their preliminary stages. The Company, however, believes it has meritorious defenses to each lawsuit and intends to defend both of them vigorously. Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
