OMX Nordic Exchange Iceland will launch a new submarket for equity rights in the beginning of 2008. It will be active in the trading system as of January 3rd next year. The new service will enable transactions in various rights commonly arising from equity issues, such as subscription rights. The OMX Iceland equity rights market will improve the trading environment for such rights, as they will be subject to OMX Exchange Rules. Furthermore, liquidity will improve, to the benefit of issuers and shareholders. The new submarket will be called OMX ICE Equity Rights in the trading system. It is part of the OMX ICE Equities and Related market, and the market set-up will be similar to the equity market. NOREX Member Rules will apply to transactions. All members of the Icelandic equity market will automatically have access to the OMX ICE Equity Rights submarket.
