On April 18, 2017, Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. (the Company)
issued a press release reporting its financial results for the
quarter ended March 31, 2017. A copy of the press release is
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein
by reference.
All of the information furnished in this report (including
Exhibit 99.1 hereto) shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes
of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and unless expressly set forth by specific reference in such

On March 8, 2017, the Company announced its intention to
discontinue its options market making activities globally. The
Company expects to phase out these operations substantially
over the coming months and estimates that it will incur

continuing certain market making activities until the
restructuring is complete. These one-time restructuring costs
include approximately $2 million of future cash expenditures,
which are substantially severance and related costs, and
approximately $23 million of non-cash expenditures consisting
primarily of stock based compensation and impairment to the
carrying value of assets associated with exchange memberships.
Item 8.02. Other Events.
On April 18, 2017, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend
of $0.10 per share on the Companys common stock. The Companys
