Execution
Performance
We've committed certain synergy targets on both the
revenue and the expense side for the large deals and we're
doing what we do well, and that is to focus on the operation
and the execution of the business plan, and that's what we're
focused on right now.

Bob Greifeld, Financial Times
View from the Top Interview, 11 March 2008
We view deal integration and cost extraction as a core
strength for NASDAQ. As the company realizes deal-related
cost synergies associated with its recent and upcoming
acquisitions we expect the company will experience
significant margin expansion back toward the levels
experienced by legacy NASDAQ.

DB CEO Reto Francioni, Press Release, 30 April
2007
Deutsche Börse is to take an impairment charge of about
450m on its investment in the International Securities

Competition for Listings
Creates deeper & more liquid markets
Improves transparency
Standardizes market access & connectivity
Enhances effectiveness of regulation
Creates a better advocate for issuers on regulatory matters
Global competition for listings is growing & the U.S. is losing
ground
An increasing number of companies, including U.S. firms,
now list outside their home markets
The market for raising capital is not limited to listings and
includes private equity
The combined company can create a more attractive platform
for raising capital and increase U.S. competitiveness in the
global listings market
Listing fees and rules are closely regulated
Competition in the U.S. is limited and largely about services
that are also offered by a wide variety of other companies
Equity and options trading markets are fragmented and highly
competitive
Low barriers to entry exist to create new trading venues
Regulatory and Competitive Considerations
Regulatory Benefits
Trading Competition
From 1995 to 2010, listings on U.S. exchanges shrank from 8,000 to
5,000 while listings on non-U.S. exchanges grew from 23,000 to 40,000
Since 2006, only 9 of the 100 largest IPOs listed in the U.S.
