J.P. Morgan and NASDAQ OMX Announce New Clearing Options for Nordic Derivatives Markets


Stockholm, June 23, 2010 - NASDAQ OMX and J.P. Morgan today announced that J.
P. Morgan has become NASDAQ OMX Stockholm AB's first non-Nordic custodian for
the NASDAQ OMX Derivatives Markets. As custodian, J.P. Morgan will provide
collateral management agency services for the cash and securities with which
member firms collateralize their derivatives trades. 

“We are very pleased to be able to offer J.P. Morgan as a custodian solution to
our customers. As the first non-Nordic custodian, J.P. Morgan's global reach
will offer an excellent complement to the existing custodians that already
serve our Nordic derivatives market,” said Hans-Ole Jochumsen, Executive Vice
President NASDAQ OMX and President NASDAQ OMX Nordic. 

Through J.P. Morgan's collateral management program, clients can select any
NASDAQ OMX-eligible asset class and market, optimizing their complete
collateral inventory intraday.  Information reporting, inquiries and
transaction services are available via web-based tools that increase visibility
into collateralized assets and automated processes that enhance risk
mitigation. 

Kelly Mathieson, Global Business Executive for J.P. Morgan Clearance and
Collateral Management, said “We've had an established presence in the Nordics
for more than two decades and, as a global provider, are uniquely positioned to
support NASDAQ OMX's member firms in the region. The relationship with NASDAQ
OMX is a natural extension of the services we provide to other European and
global exchanges and clearing houses, as the industry increasingly looks to
move from OTC to centrally-cleared trading, given the evolving requirements
associated with cross-asset clearing and collateral management.”
