Perquisites and Other Benefits

Because our executive compensation program emphasizes pay for performance, it includes very few perquisites for our executives.

In view of the demands of his position, we provide Mr. Greifeld with a company car and driver for use when conducting company business. Mr. Greifeld reports his use of the company car and driver for personal reasons as income for tax purposes. In 2008, this amount was $47,396, which was the incremental cost of Mr. Greifeld’s personal use of the car (including commutation) based on an allocation of the cost of the vehicle, driver, fuel, maintenance, insurance and parking.

During 2008, Mr. Böcker received a one-time payment of $250,000 for relocation expenses incurred in connection with his move from Stockholm to New York City after the business combination of Nasdaq and OMX. This payment covered travel expenses for Mr. Böcker and his family, transport of household goods to New York City, temporary housing for Mr. Böcker and his family, assistance in the housing search process and consulting services to assist Mr. Böcker and his family in acclimating to the New York City area.

Officers at the level of senior vice president and above are eligible to receive basic financial planning services (including a gross-up on any income taxes imposed on the recipient of these services) and executive health exams. Participation in each of these programs is voluntary. We also provide a comprehensive health and welfare benefits program to our executives, including the named executive officers that mirrors the program offered to our other employees. Named executive officers also are allowed to participate in our ESPP on the same terms as other U.S. employees.
