GFI talking to other potential buyers

GFI Group Inc., an intermediary and provider of trading technologies and support services to the global OTC and listed markets, filed an SC 14D9/A document on Thursday evening with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in which it updated investors on its takeover situation.

An excerpt from page 10 of the filing follows:

'GFI has been approached by parties expressing interest in exploring transactions that could include a potential sale of GFI. The Board has authorized GFI management to explore these potential transactions as well as to engage in discussions with other parties that could lead to other potential transactions. The Board has not made a determination to enter into any transaction at this time or in the future, and there can be no assurances that any such transaction can or will be completed. GFI does not intend to provide updates unless and until the Board approves a specific transaction or otherwise determines that disclosure is appropriate or necessary.'
