NASDAQ OMX Combines its News Distribution Services under GlobeNewswire Brand


New Name Reflects Extended Media Reach and Product Scope

Copenhagen, December 1 — NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) announces the
integration of its Nordic and Baltic news distribution service, Company News
Service (CNS), into the worldwide brand, GlobeNewswire. The combination of the
two news distribution services is a natural step forward in the continuing
integration of NASDAQ and OMX. 

This integration creates a single worldwide news distribution service with
expertise on different continents, helping public companies to communicate with
media and investors in local languages while addressing the regulatory
disclosure requirements of markets throughout the world. 

“Unifying our Nordic and Baltic news distribution services with GlobeNewswire
is in concert with NASDAQ OMX's transformation into a company with a worldwide
footprint,” said Magnus Böcker, president for NASDAQ OMX. “This integration is
another milestone in our drive to provide listed companies on any continent
with the forward-thinking services and communication technologies required to
reach investors, media and stakeholders in the most efficient and transparent
manner possible.” 

Company News Service was launched in February 2007 to assist OMX-listed
companies in meeting obligations of the European Transparency Directive. Today,
50% of all listed companies on NASDAQ OMX' Nordic and Baltic exchanges use the
service to fulfill their regulatory requirement. 

As a single distribution network, GlobeNewswire encompasses all the
capabilities of CNS as well as the additional capabilities of GlobeNewswire,
bringing the following enhancements to its users: 

•	New web address - www.globenewswire.com
•	Multi-channel delivery networks providing real-time and simultaneous
distribution to key worldwide audiences 
•	Unique distribution to the Nordic trading systems
•	Online visibility on European financial websites such as DI.se, Netposten.dk,
Kauppalehti.fi, DGAP.de, Borsen.dk, FT.com, Nordnet, Avanza.se, Aktietips.com
etc. 
•	Direct distribution to the editorial news rooms at TT, SIX, Direkt,
Bloomberg, Reuters and others 
•	Continually updated worldwide media database to reach journalists and editors 
•	Worldwide news placement on more than 1,000,000 market professional desktops
and 500,000 private investors 
•	Synchronization with investor relations services from Shareholder.com

Current CNS clients will submit their press releases following the same
procedure they are accustomed to. Additionally, the access to editorial and
support desks is unchanged. Clients are encouraged to log-in at
