In connection with the acquisition of JVB Holdings in January 2011, the Company issued 559,020 restricted units of the Operating LLC to certain of the former owners of JVB Holdings who remained employees of JVB Holdings. As of December 31, 2012, there were 372,681 restricted units outstanding. These units vest over a three year period (of which two of the three years have elapsed) and are treated as compensation for future service. In January 2013, 186,339 restricted units of the Operating LLC vested, and the holders of these vested Operating LLC membership units elected to redeem these units. The Company, at its discretion, issued 186,339 shares of IFMI common stock to the JVB Holdings sellers in exchange for these vested membership units. As of September 30, 2013, there were 186,342 restricted units outstanding.

In connection with the private placement investment under the definitive agreements in September 2013, the Company issued 2,749,167 shares of the IFMI’s common stock. See notes 4 and 12.

Acquisition and Surrender of Additional Units of the Operating LLC, net: Effective January 1, 2011, IFMI and the Operating LLC entered into a Unit Issuance and Surrender Agreement (the “UIS Agreement”) which was approved by IFMI’s Board of Directors and the board of managers of the Operating LLC. In an effort to maintain a 1:1 ratio of IFMI’s common stock to the number of membership units IFMI holds in the Operating LLC, the UIS Agreement calls for the issuance of additional membership units of the Operating LLC to IFMI when IFMI issues its common stock to employees under existing equity compensation plans. In certain cases, the UIS Agreement calls for IFMI to surrender units to the Operating LLC when certain restricted shares are forfeited by the employee or repurchased.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, IFMI received units of the Operating LLC. The following table displays the amount of units received (net of surrenders) by IFMI pursuant to the UIS Agreement, as a result of the vesting and redemption of membership units of the Operating LLC by certain former owners of JVB Holdings for IFMI common stock, and as a result of the issuance of shares in connection with the private placement as discussed above.


			Operating LLC
			Membership Units
Units related to UIS Agreement			396,368
Units received from certain former owners of JVB Holdings			186,339
Units received from issuance of shares in connection with private placement			2,749,167
Total			3,331,874
