ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 2, 2008, by and among MarketAxess, TCV VI and Member Fund (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), TCV VI and Member Fund purchased (i) 34,726.525983 shares and 273.474017 shares, respectively, of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) warrants to purchase 694,530 shares and 5,470 shares, respectively, of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share (the “Warrants”). All of the outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock held by TCV VI and Member Fund automatically converted into 3,499,999 shares of Common Stock on January 24, 2011 (including the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares) in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designation”).
The Certificate of Designation provides that the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock have the right to elect one member of the Company’s Board of Directors for so long as 17,500 shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding (the “Series B Director”). On July 15, 2008, Robert W. Trudeau, a member of Management VI, was elected by the TCV VI and Member Fund, as the holders of a majority of the Series B Preferred Stock, to the Company’s Board of Directors as the Series B Director. Following the automatic conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock, TCV VI and Member Fund are no longer entitled to elect the Series B Director pursuant to the Certificate of Designation. However, the Securities Purchase Agreement provides that, in the event that TCV VI and Member Fund are no longer entitled to elect the Series B Director pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, TCV VI and Member Fund will have the right to nominate for election (and the Company has agreed that the Company’s Board of Directors will elect) one member to the Company’s Board of Directors for so long as TCV VI and Member Fund beneficially own at least 1,750,000 shares of Common Stock (excluding shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants).
Between July 15, 2008 and July 30, 2010, Mr. Trudeau was awarded 13,326 shares of restricted Common Stock and options to acquire 7,412 shares of Common Stock by the Company pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective April 28, 2006) in Mr. Trudeau’s capacity as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. 10,864 of those restricted shares of Common Stock were subsequently transferred by Mr. Trudeau to Management VI and are now reported on this statement as held directly by Management VI. Mr. Trudeau has sole voting and dispositive power over the remaining 2,462 shares of restricted Common Stock and options to acquire 7,412 shares of Common Stock, however, Management VI owns 100% of the pecuniary interest therein.
The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock and the Warrants for investment purposes. Depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, make purchases permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement and acquire additional shares of Common Stock from the Company or third parties, exercise all or a portion of the Warrants, and/or investigate, evaluate, discuss, negotiate or agree to retain and/or sell, exchange or dispose all or a portion of the Common Stock, Warrants and/or Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions to the Company or third parties or through distributions to their respective partners, in change of control transactions or tender offers, or otherwise. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent

 


 

upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price levels of the Common Stock; general market and economic conditions; ongoing evaluation of the Company’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
Except as set forth above and in the Schedule 13D relating to the Common Stock filed on June 12, 2008, as amended on July 17, 2008 (which is incorporated by reference herein), the Reporting Persons have no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
