Conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes

In the fourth quarter of 2007, H&F sold its entire stake in Nasdaq in a public offering which included (i) shares issued through the conversion of the 3.75% convertible notes, (ii) shares acquired through the cashless exercise of warrants and (iii) shares held outright by H&F, which were previously purchased from us in a separate transaction. Also in the fourth quarter of 2007, SLP and other partners sold 1,732,491 shares of our common stock. The shares sold by SLP and other partners consisted of a portion of shares issued through the conversion of the 3.75% convertible notes issued to SLP and other partners, and the cashless exercise of a portion of the warrants issued to other partners. SLP did not exercise any of their warrants. As a result of the above, as of December 31, 2007, approximately $120.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% convertible notes remained outstanding.

In the first nine months of 2008, SLP converted 2,000 shares of the 3.75% convertible notes into common stock. As a result of this conversion, approximately $120.1 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% convertible notes remained outstanding as of September 30, 2008. There were no warrants exercised in the first nine months of 2008. At September 30, 2008, all of the warrants issued to SLP and 16,164 warrants issued to other partners remained outstanding.

On an as-converted basis at September 30, 2008, SLP owned an approximate 4.6% equity interest in us as a result of its ownership of $118.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% convertible notes, which are convertible into 8,177,715 shares of our common stock, and 1,523,325 shares underlying warrants. We have registered the shares underlying SLP’s and other partners’ notes on a Form S-3 registration statement.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

The 3.75% convertible notes are obligations of the Exchange, ranking junior to all senior indebtedness (as defined in the indenture governing the 3.75% notes) of the Exchange and pari passu in right of payment with all other unsubordinated indebtedness of the Exchange. See, “Obligations Under Guarantee,” of Note 19, “Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantee,” for further discussion. The indenture governing the notes limits our ability to incur future senior secured indebtedness unless at the time of incurrence, we maintain a ratio of aggregate senior secured indebtedness to EBITDA (as defined in the indenture) for the most recent four consecutive quarters of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0.

 

At December 31, 2007, we were in compliance with the covenants under our 3.75% convertible notes.
