NASDAQ OMX Announces Plans to Facilitate Universal Access to Real-time Stock Data in Europe


New York, NY, June 13, 2008 — The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) today
announced plans to introduce a new service designed to place real-time market
data in the hands of millions of individual investors in Europe. With “European
Last Sale,” NASDAQ OMX will facilitate universal access to real-time stock data
- or the last quoted price. 

European Last Sale will provide real-time intra-day trade data from the NASDAQ
OMX system for OMX Nordic and Baltic exchange-listed securities. Upon the
launch of the NASDAQ OMX Pan-European Market, the European Last Sale will also
include access to real-time intra-day trade data from the Pan-European Market
as well. 

“European Last Sale will increase market transparency for European investors by
providing universal access to real-time stock data,” stated Randall Hopkins,
Vice President, NASDAQ OMX. “By providing real-time market data in the Nordic
and Baltic markets, European Last Sale will enable investors to make better
informed trading decisions. We hope European Last Sale will encourage
widespread distribution of NASDAQ OMX real-time trade data to the public via
the Internet and other electronic media.” 

NASDAQ OMX will seek to partner with Internet portals and other electronic
media to put real-time data for Nordic- and Baltic-listed securities in the
hands of European investors. 

European Last Sale will enable firms to create dynamic stock tickers, portfolio
trackers and time/price graphs products for public use. Prior to the launch of
European Last Sale, intra-day data was available without charge on many web
sites but on a 15 minute delayed basis. 

NASDAQ OMX plans to begin testing European Last Sale service in June 2008 and
officially launch it in July 2008. NASDAQ OMX recently introduced NASDAQ Last
Sale and is available through its partnerships with CNBC, Google Finance, Wall
Street Journal Digital Network and Xignite.
