NEW YORK, 2011-11-25 15:48 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
INTL FCStone Inc. (Nasdaq:INTL), today announced that INTL FCStone (Europe)
Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, has agreed to
acquire the Metals Division of MF Global UK Limited (in special
administration). As part of this transaction, INTL FCStone (Europe) has
received approval from the London Metal Exchange ('LME') to upgrade its LME
Category Two membership to LME Category One ring dealing membership.

The Metals Division, headed by Fred Demler, has more than 50 professional staff
based in London, New York, Hong Kong and Sydney, and has long-standing client
relationships throughout the world. The Metals Division is a leading LME ring
dealing member providing execution and clearing of LME products and OTC
products to assist commercial customers in hedging their price risk in metals
markets. The Metals Division also serves institutional investors and financial
services firms in the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. Demler
will assume leadership of INTL FCStone's global metals LME futures and
derivatives business.

Sean O'Connor, CEO of INTL FCStone, commented, 'Fred and his metals team add a
well-recognized and leading LME franchise with deep and diverse global
relationships to our growing and profitable company. Our existing significant
physical metals, structured OTC products and corporate finance advisory
services combined with the LME capabilities and relationships should create a
unique metals franchise. With our unwavering focus on customers, our broad
capabilities and our expertise in all commodity verticals, we will now be in a
better position than ever before to offer significant value to our global
customer base.'



'We are all very excited about the acquisition of our global metals team and
see INTL FCStone as having a clear focus on serving customers, especially
mid-market commercial entities where we have a great footprint globally,' added
Demler. 'INTL FCStone has a strong presence across all the other commodity
markets and we believe we can become a leading franchise for them in the
broader metals markets. We anticipate a quick transition, which will allow us
to continue serving our clients' needs with minimal disruption.'
