Cantor Fitzgerald Donates $10 Million to National September 11 Memorial & Museum

Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. today announced its intention to make a
gift of $10,000,000 to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
The donation helps the National September 11 Memorial & Museum
successfully reach its $350 million fundraising goal for the
construction of the Memorial & Museum.

Howard W. Lutnick, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cantor
Fitzgerald, said, "We made a commitment to rebuild our firm after 9/11
to help the families of the 658 members of Cantor who were lost that
day. In the spirit of the rebirth of Cantor, and to honor our
colleagues and all those who lost their lives on that tragic day, we
are privileged to provide this gift to help realize the dream of
building our country´s National 9/11 Memorial."

Mr. Lutnick added, "The tremendous renewal of this firm is more
than a business success story, it is a testament to the deep
connection between the men and women of Cantor and the families of our
employees who perished. In the five years following the World Trade
Center attacks, our firm has provided over $180 million to the
families. And with over 3200 people employed throughout the group
today, Cantor´s rebuilding also is a clear measure of our commitment
to New York City. On behalf of the entire Cantor family and all they
have accomplished, I am thrilled that our firm has been able to
underscore its achievements with this significant gift to the National
9/11 Memorial & Museum."

Overcoming the loss of over two-thirds of Cantor´s 960 New
York-based employees in the World Trade Center attacks, Cantor has
reemerged as a leading financial services firm serving the global
capital markets. Through its inter-dealer brokerage affiliate, BGC
Partners, Inc., which became a publicly-traded company earlier this
month, the firm has recommitted to its presence in New York´s
financial district, with over 500 employees downtown, in addition to
Cantor´s new uptown office. Now larger than in 2001, Cantor has become
a leader in the institutional equity sales and trading marketplace,
has built a strong and fast-growing fixed income business as one of 20
primary dealers trading with the U.S. Federal Reserve, and has created
several other new, innovative businesses and initiatives, such as
Cantor Gaming, CantorCO2e, Cantor LifeMarkets, and Cantor Index.
