Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Election of Directors
On August 19, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”)
of Virtu Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Ms. Barbara Finigan to serve as a Class I director. Ms. Finigan will serve
as an independent member of the Board, effective immediately. Ms. Finigan was recommended as a nominee to the Board by the Board’s
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Ms. Finigan has served in various senior legal roles over her 35 year
career, including her tenure at Hasbro, Inc., where she most recently served as the Chief Legal Officer from December 2010 to March 2019.
In this capacity she advised the board of directors on legal, strategy and risk, oversaw litigation matters, and managed a global
ethics and compliance program. As of August 2025 she is serving as Chief Legal Officer at Fuze Health, a technology driven healthcare
company, and also serves as a director and advisor to two other private companies in the insurance and technology spaces, respectively.
She is a licensed attorney and holds a BA from College of the Holy Cross and a J.D. from Marquette University Law School.
Ms. Finigan will be compensated for her service as non-employee director
in the manner similar to that described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on April 29, 2026 (File
No. 001-37352) under “Executive Compensation – Compensation of Directors.”
In connection with Ms. Finigan’s election to the Board, the Company
has entered into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Finigan in substantially the same form as the indemnification agreement entered
into with other directors of the Company that was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Registration Statement
on Form S-1 (File No. 333-194473) (the “Registration Statement”). The indemnification agreement provides, in general, that
the Company will indemnify Ms. Finigan to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with her service to the Company or on the
Company’s behalf. The foregoing description of the indemnification agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the form of indemnification agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to the Registration Statement
and is incorporated herein by reference.
Following the appointment of Ms. Finigan, the Board consists of eleven
directors. The Company may add one or more new directors as business needs and opportunities arise.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Finigan and
any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Finigan was selected as a director of the Company. There are no family relationships between
Ms. Finigan and any of the Company’s other directors or executive officers and Ms. Finigan does not have direct or indirect material
interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Items 401 and 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
