Thordur Fridjonsson President and CEO of OMX Nordic Exchange in Iceland: “Icelandic derivatives are an important addition to the product range available to investors in the Icelandic market. It is also a timely addition considering the great growth in trading volumes in the cash market and an ever increasing interest of foreign investors. Trading in Icelandic derivatives and the establishment of a stock lending facility will, without any doubt, further strengthen the Icelandic stock market as a whole”. Henrik Paulsson President of OMX Derivatives Markets: “OMX Derivatives Markets are enthusiastic about the addition of Icelandic instruments to its product range, which currently consists of Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Russian derivatives. We believe it is important to be able to offer the Nordic and London markets access to Icelandic products and at the same time offer Icelandic market participants access to the whole Nordic Exchange derivatives market.” Further information and contract specifications can be found on OMX Nordic Exhange website under products “In focus”: http://www.omxgroup.com/nordicexchange/Themarket/derivativesmarket/derivativestr adingclearingatomx/infocus/Icelandic_derivatives/
