Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Represents the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock by Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. ("CFLP") to the underwriters in a firm commitment registered public offering.
(2)	Represents the number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by CFLP after (i) the sale by CFLP of the 3,926,178 shares of Class A Common Stock to the underwriters and (ii) the distribution by CFLP, on an accelerated basis in connection with the public offering, of an aggregate of 6,248,355 shares of Class A Common Stock to certain current and former partners of CFLP to satisfy certain of CFLP's deferred stock distribution obligations to such partners. In Footnotes 6, 7 and 8 to Table II of a Form 4/A filed by CFLP on April 25, 2008, CFLP reported that it assumed that it would use 33,368,608 shares of Class A or Class B Common Stock receivable upon exchange by it of a portion of its 67,069,530 BGC Holdings Exchangeable Limited Partnership Interests to satisfy all of its deferred stock distribution obligations; however, CFLP used shares of its Class A Common Stock to fund the distribution of the 6,248,355 shares of Class A Common Stock. (Continued in Footnote 3)
(3)	The correct number of deferred stock distribution obligations which CFLP was required, as of April 1, 2008, to distribute to current and former CFLP partners was 33,367,358, which is 1,250 deferred stock distribution obligations lower than the 33,368,608 previously reported. In addition, the correct number of BGC Holdings Exchangeable Limited Partnership Interests held by CFLP as of April 1, 2008 was 67,133,670, which is 64,140 BGC Holdings Exchangeable Limited Partnership Interests higher than the 67,069,530 previously reported.
