Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP reminds investors that they have until October 5, 2015 to file a motion seeking to be appointed lead plaintiff against Investment Technology Group Inc. (NYSE: ITG). ITG operates as an independent execution and research broker. It offers trade execution services and solutions for portfolio management, investment research, pre-trade analytics and post-trade analytics and processing.

If you purchased ITG securities between February 28, 2011 and August 3, 2015 (the "Class Period") we encourage you to contact Johnson & Weaver (jimb@johnsonandweaver.com). The case is pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Additional Information about the Lawsuit:

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period, ITG's subsidiary, AlterNet Securities, Inc., ran a proprietary trading operation from 2010 through mid-year 2011 inside of IGT's POSIT, an Alternative Trading System or “dark pool.”

Additionally, the complaint accuses the Company of knowing that the proprietary trading operation used information from customer stock orders within ITG's dark pool, as well as information from clients that used the firm's algorithms to execute trades on other trading platforms.

These actions and conflicts of interests came to light on July 29, 2015 when ITG issued a press release announcing the underlying misconduct of its employees and subsidiaries. After the disclosure, ITG's stock price fell over 23%, or $5.64 per share, to close at $18.36 on July 30, 2015.

Subsequently, on August 4, 2015, ITG's CFO announced that the Company would report a material amount of legal fees due to regulatory investigation into the Company's conduct. After this revelation, ITG's share price fell over 5.00%, to close at $18.48 per share in the next trading session.

On August 12, 2015, the SEC announced a settlement with ITG and its affiliate and released an order that included detailed admissions of wrongdoing by ITG and imposed a civil penalty in the amount of $18 million and other fines/interest exceeding $2 million.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of ITG securities during the Class Period. If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than October 5, 2015. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
