Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Brandon G. Lutnick reported multiple related-party purchases that materially increased his indirect ownership of BGC Group, Inc. common stock. On 10/06/2025 he closed the purchase of the voting shares of CF Group Management, Inc. for an aggregate price of $200,000, giving him beneficial ownership of 93,340,477 Class B shares held by Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. and 2,972,524 Class B shares held by CFGM.

Concurrently he acquired all equity interests in KBCR Management Partners, LLC and Tangible Benefits, LLC for $13,096,795.70, which consolidates prior reported holdings and resulted in aggregated reported holdings of 109,405,906 Class B shares and 1,978,568 Class A shares (post-transactions). Separately, CFLP purchased 8,973,721 Class B shares at $9.2082 per share (3-day VWAP basis, adjusted). The report describes these holdings as indirect through trusts and entities where he is trustee or manager and disclaims beneficial ownership beyond his pecuniary interest.

Insights

Large intra-family transfers consolidated control through trust-and-entity purchases.

The filings show structured transfers where voting interests in the managing partner and equity interests in related management entities moved to trusts controlled by the reporting person, consolidating indirect control over 109,405,906 Class B shares and 1,978,568 Class A shares as of 10/06/2025. The transactions include a nominal $200,000 purchase for voting shares and a separate $13,096,795.70 purchase for two management entities.

Key dependencies include the trusts' governance and the reporting person's role as trustee/manager; potential governance effects arise from aggregation of voting power. Monitor any future Form 3/5 or Schedule filings that clarify pecuniary interests or changes in voting arrangements within the next few reporting cycles.

Insider-driven share acquisitions materially increase reported indirect float exposure.

The report discloses an effective acquisition of 8,973,721 Class B shares by CFLP at an effective price of $9.2082 per share (VWAP-based adjustment), and larger indirect additions via control transfers that raise total reported Class B holdings to 109,405,906. The Class B shares are convertible one-for-one into Class A shares, which affects potential voting/ownership dynamics.

Market implications depend on whether these shares are subject to transfer or conversion restrictions; near-term effects could appear in trading if any of these holdings are later sold or converted. Watch for disclosures of any lock-up, sale plans, or Rule 10b5-1 plans in subsequent filings over the coming months.

Following the close of the transaction, the reporting person has beneficial ownership of the 93,340,477 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class B Common Stock"), of BGC Group, Inc. (the "Company") held by CFLP and the 2,972,524 shares of Class B Common Stock held by CFGM. The aggregate purchase price of the voting shares of CFGM was $200,000.
2.

Lutnick, in Howard W. Lutnick's capacity as trustee of certain trusts. The reporting person had previously reported beneficial ownership of the 2,335,967 shares of Class B Common Stock and the 600,938 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Class A Common Stock") of the Company held by KBCR, and the 1,610,182 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Tangible Benefits because of the reporting person's position as the manager of each of these entities. The aggregate purchase price of the equity interests of KBCR and Tangible Benefits was $13,096,795.70.
3. On October 6, 2025, in a transaction effective immediately after the transaction described in footnote (1), CFLP closed the purchase of 8,973,721 shares of Class B Common Stock from Howard W.

The price per share for the purchase was $9.2082 (equal to the 3-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Class B Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on May 14, May 15 and May 16, 2025), reduced by $0.032 per share, which is equal to the amount of the after-tax portion of the (i) dividends declared on such shares of Class A Common Stock but unpaid and with record dates between May 16, 2025 and the transaction date that are payable to Howard W. Lutnick and (ii) dividends paid on such shares of Class B Common Stock to Howard W. Lutnick between May 16, 2025 and the transaction date.
4. The reporting person also has indirect beneficial ownership of 173,035 shares of Class B Common Stock held by LFA, LLC ("LFA").

7. CFGM is the Managing General Partner of CFLP and KBCR is a non-managing General Partner of CFLP.

Securities held by KBCR, Tangible Benefits, and LFA are included on this report because of the reporting person's position as the manager of each entity and through the reporting person's control of KBCR and Tangible Benefits as trustee with decision making control of trusts which hold all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of KBCR and Tangible Benefits.
8. (Continued from Footnote 7) Securities held by the trusts described in this report are included on this report because (i) the beneficiaries of such trusts include the reporting person and/or members of his immediate family, and (ii) of the reporting person's position as trustee with decision making control. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities held by CFGM, CFLP, KBCR, Tangible Benefits, and LFA in excess of his pecuniary interest, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that he is the beneficial owner of, or has pecuniary interest in, any such excess securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
