This excerpt taken from the NDAQ 10-Q filed May 8, 2009. Interest Expense Interest expense increased in the first quarter of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008. The increase primarily reflects a full three-month period of interest expense in 2009 on our outstanding debt obligations related to the OMX business combination compared with one month of interest expense in 2008. In addition, interest expense increased due to our outstanding debt obligations related to the PHLX acquisition and the acquisition of certain businesses of Nord Pool that were completed in the second half of 2008. |
