Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements herein that are not historical facts are "forward-looking" statements and "safe harbor statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and/or uncertainties, including those described in the Company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions and not on historical facts. Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, the closing of the offering and expected use of proceeds. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements include risks and other factors described in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In providing forward-looking statements, the Company is not undertaking any duty or obligation to update these statements publicly as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. If the Company updates one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect to those other forward-looking statements.

Exhibit 99.1 SUMMARY HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED AND PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND OTHER DATA OF STONEX The selected historical consolidated financial information as of September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022 and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022 have been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference herein. The selected historical consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2025, and 2024 and for the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, have been derived from the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference herein, and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of such information. The financial data presented for interim periods is not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The financial information as of and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025, have been calculated by subtracting the data as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2024, from the data as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, and adding the result to the applicable financial information as of and for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The selected historical financial information set forth below should be read in conjunction with: (i) the sections entitled “Use of Proceeds” and “Capitalization,” each of which are contained elsewhere in this offering memorandum, (ii) our audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the respective periods, each of which are filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum and (iii) our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the respective periods, each of which are filed with the Commission and incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum. The historical results presented below are not necessarily indicative of financial results to be achieved in future periods. Future periods could differ materially from historical levels due to many factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed and referred to in “Risk Factors” and the risk factors incorporated by reference herein. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of StoneX included in this offering memorandum reflects adjustments to the historical financial statements of StoneX to give effect to the Acquisition of RJO with acquisition accounting applied to RJO as the accounting acquiree and the related anticipated issuance of the Notes and use of net proceeds therefrom as described above. StoneX’s most recently completed fiscal year ended on September 30, 2024 and RJO’s most recently completed fiscal year ended on December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined income statement for the twelve months ended March 31, 2025 was derived based on the historical audited consolidated income statement of StoneX for the year ended September 30, 2024; plus the historical unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of StoneX for six months ended March 31, 2025; less the historical unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of StoneX for six months ended March 31, 2024; plus the historical audited consolidated income statement of RJO for the year ended December 31, 2024; plus the historical unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of RJO for three months ended March 31, 2025; less the historical unaudited condensed consolidated income statement of RJO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (which income statement of RJO for the three months ended March 31, 2024 is not included in this offering memorandum). The unaudited pro forma combined income statement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 combines StoneX’s fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 with RJO’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 combines StoneX’s unaudited March 31, 2025 balance sheet with RJO’s unaudited March 31, 2025 statement of financial condition. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information of StoneX and RJO.” The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included herein has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations would have been had the transactions been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the


 
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contains estimated adjustments, based upon available information and certain assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in greater detail in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. In many cases, these assumptions are based upon preliminary information and estimates. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting will occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the combined company’s future results of operations and financial position. The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included and incorporated by reference in this offering memorandum, in addition to the sections “Summary—The Transactions” and “Capitalization.”

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus amortization of share-based compensation and less interest expenses attributable to trading activities, including the credit facilities of our subsidiaries, gain on acquisitions, acquisition-related expenses, and gain on class action settlements. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, as adjusted to give effect to the Transactions and expected cost synergies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve the synergies referenced above that are included in Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA. For more information about our expected synergies from the Acquisition, including certain factors that may affect our ability to achieve such synergies, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Acquisition—We may be unable to realize anticipated cost synergies and expects to


 
incur substantial expenses related to the Acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.” Each of the EBITDA-based measures described above is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, each such measure is not intended to be a measure of free cash flows available for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Such measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider any of such measures in isolation or as substitutes for our results as reported under GAAP. Management compensates for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these EBITDA-based measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information.” The Company believes EBITDA is helpful in highlighting the business’s trends because EBITDA excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of management and can differ significantly from company to company depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and capital investments. In addition, EBITDA provides more comparability between the historical operating results and pro forma operating results that reflect purchase accounting and the new capital structure. The Company believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information about certain material non-cash items and about certain items that the business does not expect to continue at the same level in the future as well as others. The information can also be used to perform trend analyses and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted. Finally, the Issuer believes such information provides a higher degree of transparency.

The Company believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional information about certain material non-cash items and about certain items that the business does not expect to continue at the same level in the future as well as others. The information can also be used to perform trend analyses and to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted. Finally, the Issuer believes such information provides a higher degree of transparency. (2) The gain on acquisitions adjustment represents (x) a $23.5 million of non-taxable gain on the acquisition of CDI on October 31, 2022 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023, (y) a $3.3 million of non-taxable gain (an adjustment to the final liabilities assumed) in the acquisition of Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and (z) a $81.9 million non-taxable gain on the acquisition of Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. on August 1, 2020 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. (3) The acquisition-related expenses adjustment represents (x) $4.5 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the acquisition of Gain Capital Holdings, Inc., including a hedge loss on Gain UK assets (excluding an additional $10.6 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets that has already been excluded in the calculation of EBITDA) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 and (y) $15.3 million of acquisition-related expenses related to the acquisition of Gain Capital Holdings, Inc. (an additional $1.7 million of amortization of acquired intangible assets has already been excluded in the calculation of EBITDA) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020. (4) Estimated synergies represents the expense synergies we expect to realize from consolidation of operations in connection with the Acquisition, including (x) $15.0 million in synergies we expect to achieve through the harmonization of clearing technology and platforms and (y) $35.0 million in synergies from we expect to achieve through the removal of duplication and the elimination of redundant infrastructure and support by adopting a best-of-breed approach.

Exhibit 99.2    
StoneX Group Inc. Announces Private Offering of $625.0 Million of Senior Secured Notes due 2032
June 23, 2025
NEW YORK, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StoneX Group Inc. (the “Company” or “StoneX”; NASDAQ: SNEX), today announced an offering, subject to market conditions and other factors, $625.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) to be issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, StoneX Escrow Issuer LLC. The Notes and the related Note guarantees will be offered in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
StoneX Escrow Issuer LLC, which was created solely to issue the Notes in connection with the Merger (as defined below), will deposit the gross proceeds of the offering into a segregated escrow account (the “Escrowed Proceeds”) until the date that certain escrow release conditions are satisfied. Upon the closing of the Company’s proposed acquisition (the “Merger”) of R.J. O’Brien (“RJO”), StoneX Escrow Issuer LLC will merge with and into the Company, and the Escrowed Proceeds will be released. The Company will thereupon assume the obligations under the Notes. Upon the closing of the Merger and release of the Escrowed Proceeds, the Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering together with cash on hand to pay the purchase price and related fees, costs, premiums and expenses in connection with Merger.
Until the completion of the Merger, the Notes will not be guaranteed and will be secured only by a senior secured first priority lien on the Escrowed Proceeds. Upon the closing of the Merger, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured second lien basis by each of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries that guarantees indebtedness under the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility and certain other senior indebtedness. The guarantees are subject to release under specified circumstances. Upon the closing of the Merger, the Notes and the related guarantees will be secured on a second priority basis by liens on substantially all of the Company's and the guarantors' property and assets, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The liens on the Company's and the guarantors' assets that secure the Notes and the related guarantees will be contractually subordinated to the liens on the Company's and the guarantors' assets that secure the Company's and the guarantors' existing and future first lien obligations, including indebtedness under the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility, as a result of an intercreditor agreement among the collateral agent for the Notes, the agent for the Company's senior secured revolving credit facility and the collateral agent for the Company’s existing senior secured notes due 2031. The Notes are expected to pay interest semi-annually, in arrears. This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, the related
    


guarantees or any other security, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes and the related guarantees will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. The Company gives no assurance that the proposed offering can be completed on any terms or at all.
The offer and sale of the Notes and related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and the Notes and related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or applicable exemptions from registration requirements.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this release that are not historical facts are “forward-looking” statements and “safe harbor statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and/or uncertainties, including those described in StoneX’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions and not on historical facts. Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the proposed acquisition of RJO, including expected synergies and future financial and operating results, the plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of StoneX after the acquisition, the expected timing to close the acquisition, closing of the offering and expected use of proceeds. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Therefore, we caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such forward-looking statements include the risks related to the proposed acquisition and the integration of RJO as well as the risks and other factors described in StoneX’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In providing forward-looking statements, StoneX is not undertaking any duty or obligation to update these statements publicly as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. If StoneX updates one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect to those other forward-looking statements.
