Frequently Asked Questions

The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to provide investors with historical unaudited quarterly financial data, specifically consolidated pretax income for Interactive Brokers Group's companies from September 30, 2001, to June 30, 2008. This is intended to help investors better understand the company's quarterly performance and its long-term financial trends.

This 8-K filing primarily furnishes historical quarterly financial data up to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. It does not specifically detail the results for the most recently completed quarter at the time of filing, but rather provides a broad historical context.

When information is 'furnished' rather than 'filed' under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, it means that the company is providing the information for disclosure purposes but is not subject to the same liabilities or legal scrutiny associated with formally 'filed' documents under that specific section. This means the data, while important for investor understanding, is not being treated as part of a formal SEC filing that could lead to liability under Section 18 if it were found to be materially false or misleading.
