(RTTNews) - BGC Partners Inc. (BGCP) urged GFI Group Inc. (GFIG) stockholders to tender into its $6.10 per share offer to purchase all outstanding shares of GFI before its expiration on February 19, 2015.

Howard Lutnick, CEO of BGC, said: "Stockholders representing approximately 43.3% of GFI shares have already displayed their support for our transaction.
