Peter Quick votes against GAIN Capital acquisition

Quick was one of the few Directors who voted against GAIN Capital’s merger with INTL FCStone Inc. This was what shareholders have since voted for, with 71 percent in favor of it.

In light of the performance of GAIN, it’s no longer reflective of the long term value of GAIN Capital. This was since the signing of the Merger Agreement, which puts the company’s value at $6 per share.

INTL FCStone Inc. announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement in February. It would acquire GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc.

The deal will see INTL FCStone buy GAIN for $6 per share in an all-cash transaction. This represents approximately $236 million in equity value.
