FXCM’s US business had unaudited 2016 net revenues of approximately $48 million and generated an EBITDA loss, but the costs associated with the business will not be transfered to GAIN. Withdrawing from this business will free approximately $52 million in capital, according to the regulatory filing.

The freed capital will be used to repay a portion of the outstanding loan from Leucadia. Proceeds from the account sale to GAIN will also be used to repay the loan from Leucadia.
