ACQUIRER: Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1.XE)

SELLER: GAIN Capital Holdings Inc. (GCAP)

TARGET: GTX's ECN business, a foreign-exchange trading platform. GTX is the institutional arm of GAIN.

PRICE: $100 million

STATUS: The companies have reached a definitive acquisition agreement.

RATIONALE: The deal will expand Deutsche Boerse's participation in the global foreign-exchange market and fits with its strategy to pursue add-on acquisitions. The exchange operator says the deal should be cash-accretive from one year after closing and should generate a return of 10% after three years.
