We and our advisors are available to meet to discuss the terms of our Proposal and to negotiate a definitive agreement as soon as possible, and we are prepared to immediately enter into customary confidentiality agreements with NYSE Euronext. Other Matters Due to the significance of this Proposal not only to the stockholders of NYSE Euronext who are considering the merits of a transaction with Deutsche Boerse, but also to the stockholders of NASDAQ OMX and IntercontinentalExchange as well as to the broader public, we intend to issue a press release to publicly disclose this letter. This letter is not intended to be and is not a binding contract between us or an offer by us capable of your acceptance, but rather is a non-binding indication of our serious interest to enter into a transaction with NYSE Euronext on the terms and conditions proposed herein, which we hope will serve as a basis for moving forward toward a mutually agreed transaction.
