Stockholm, September 4, 2008 — The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) and the
Colombian Exchange - Bolsa de Valores de Colombia (BVC) - achieved a
significant milestone this week with the launch of BVC's new market for
derivatives, based on a trading engine provided by NASDAQ OMX. The new trading
platform, which later this year will also encompass cash equities, is part of
BVC's ongoing initiative to grow its position in the South American exchange
market. 

“This successful launch is a critical step in enhancing our offer to both South
American and international investor communities,” said Juan Pablo Córdoba,
President BVC. “Implementation of NASDAQ OMX's trading engine allows both
retail and institutional investors to execute orders more securely and
efficiently. In addition, the system provides scalability for future volume
increases, as well as the flexibility to quickly introduce new products.” 

The system that NASDAQ OMX delivers to BVC offers a high-speed, low-latency
platform, and is designed to support fast introduction of new trading products
and services. It also enables high capacity limits to meet the needs of
algorithmic and high-velocity traders. 

“This launch truly symbolizes BVC's commitment to become a leading exchange in
South America,” said Markus Gerdien, Executive Vice President NASDAQ OMX Market
Technology. “BVC has invested in a world-class, state-of-the-art solution that
