Knight Trading Group, Inc. (the "Company") and certain current and
former officers have been named as defendants in two putative class action
lawsuits brought in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey which seek
damages based on alleged violations of the federal securities laws.
One, Patricia Murray et al. v. Knight Trading Group, Inc. et al.,
concerns statements allegedly made by Company employees with respect to
projected earnings during the third quarter of 2000 and alleged trading in
Company common stock by certain individual defendants.
The second, Prager v. Knight Trading Group, Inc. et al., alleges,
generally, that the Company improperly traded in securities for its own
account in advance of trading in securities for broker/dealer clients.
Both lawsuits seek undetermined damages and are in their preliminary
stages. The Company, however, believes it has meritorious defenses to each
lawsuit and intends to defend both of them vigorously.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
KNIGHT TRADING GROUP, INC.
