Patsystems to dispose of Global Dealing Direct stake

GDD operates through its 100 per cent-owned subsidiary Global Dealing Direct in Zurich where it offers full clearing services to electronic traders on a number of derivatives exchanges.

The board of patsystems says the disposal of the company's interest in GDD - for nil consideration - alongside the recent sale of shares in Chicago-based introducing broker eLocal, has ended any potential conflict of interest with its customers.

Under the agreement, GDD has signed a software licence to continue to use and distribute patsysems' products.

David Jones, CEO of patsystems, states: "The disposal completes our exit from investments in introducing brokers and clearers. Importantly it enhances our future earnings and decreases our potential cash outflows and sends a clear message to our customers and prospective customers that patsystems is focused on their needs."
