- The Nordic Exchange reduces fees on trade reporting


As of November 1, 2007, the OMX Nordic Exchange will reduce its fees related to
cash equity trades reported to the Stockholm, Copenhagen and Helsinki
exchanges. The fees for trade reporting were reduced by 50 percent in April and
now the prices will be reduced by approximately another 50 percent. 

 “OMX Nordic Exchange is further strengthening the offer for trade reporting to
our customers, by reducing the fees for this service by approximately another
50 percent”, says Jukka Ruuska, President Nordic Marketplaces. 

The fee reductions are one step in the Nordic Exchange's offering of products
for trade reporting for Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), the
EU-regulations that will be introduced in November as part of the development
of the European financial market. In addition to the fee cut, OMX will simplify
the reporting facility and extend the offer to securities from all over the
European Union. 

Based on trading activity during the last 12 months the fee reduction would
have had a negative effect on OMX revenues with approximately SEK 25 million,
on a yearly basis.
