Superior long-term value

As previously disclosed, the NASDAQ offer includes a substantial portion of NASDAQ shares, giving OMX shareholders a 28% stake in the combined company, NASDAQ OMX Group, and the opportunity to participate in the resulting long-term value creation opportunity. NASDAQ OMX Group will bring together two companies that share a relentless focus on continuous innovation and growth, a strategy that leverages world-class technology as a competitive strength and a commitment to increasing shareholder value. The new company combines two highly complementary businesses, uniting NASDAQ’s strong brand, highly efficient electronic trading platform and track record of customer-focused innovation with OMX’s global technology services platform and


customer base, efficient Nordic Exchange, and track record of successful cross-border exchange integrations. The combination will create:

 

  a premier exchange company

 

  technology leader with a presence in 50 countries

 

  increased visibility and access to global investment for issuers

 

  enhanced opportunity to establish the Nordic region as a
     financial center and trading and listing hub on the global stage

As the world’s premier exchange and technology company, the NASDAQ OMX Group will have increased financial and managerial resources to drive organic growth and will be the partner of choice for future cooperation and consolidation opportunities in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Furthermore, the merged company will be able to realize total pre-tax annual synergies of at least $150 million. Consequently, NASDAQ is confident that the long-term financial and operational benefits to shareholders of a NASDAQ-OMX combination are significantly greater than Bourse Dubai’s offer.
