NYSE EURONEXT LAUNCHES MULTI-PLATFORM INCENTIVES

Posted October 9, 2008

PARIS and NEW YORK – NYSE Euronext has introduced a global incentive program that increases efficiencies and produces cost-savings for high-volume trading customers whose orders are executed on the company’s regulated European and US equities markets.

“By rewarding our high-volume customers for trading across all of our market centers, we are enabling [them] to derive additional value from our global platform, and encouraging them to send more orders to our market centers,” says Duncan Niederauer, Chief Executive Officer of NYSE Euronext.

The global multi-platform incentive program, which is effective as of October 1, enables high-volume trading customers to aggregate trading volume across six of NYSE Euronext’s equities exchanges, thereby gaining additional value and benefits derived from the company’s truly global marketplace.

“These benefits will become even more apparent to customers as we roll out our multi-lateral trading facility and Universal Trading Platform in 2009,” says Jean-François Théodore, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of NYSE Euronext. “As this incentive program demonstrates, we intend to further extend the advantages of our global marketplace with new value-added initiatives for all NYSE Euronext customers.”

NYSE Euronext cash equities exchanges include the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NYSE Arca and NYSE Alternext US (formerly the American Stock Exchange) in the US and the Euronext exchanges in Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon and Paris.
