Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 13, 2012, FX Alliance Inc. (the “Company” or “FXall”) issued a press release announcing that BofA Merrill Lynch and Goldman, Sachs & Co., the joint book-running managers in FXall’s recent initial public offering, have agreed to waive all lock-up restrictions with respect to 20,000 shares of common stock of FXall held by Philip Weisberg, FXall’s chairman and chief executive officer and 10,000 shares of common stock of FXall held by John Cooley, FXall’s chief financial officer. In connection with FXall’s previously announced entry into a definitive agreement with Thomson Reuters and certain of its subsidiaries for a subsidiary of Thomson Reuters to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of FXall, Mr. Weisberg and Mr. Cooley entered into tender and support agreements under which they are permitted to donate a portion of the shares of common stock they hold to charities of their choice. In order to permit these charitable transfers, the waivers will take effect on August 15, 2012, and will thereafter permit Mr. Weisberg and Mr. Cooley to donate up to 20,000 shares and 10,000 shares, respectively, to the charities they select.

A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
