The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has
completed its review of the Deutsche Börse and NYSE Euronext combination
without objection to the transaction going forward. CFIUS is an
inter-agency committee of the US government to regulate foreign investment
in the US. With this approval, the companies have cleared another important
regulatory hurdle.

CFIUS reviews the national security implications for the US of foreign
investment in US companies. The committee, which is chaired by the
Department of the Treasury, includes representatives from the Departments
of Justice, Commerce, State, Defense and Homeland Security. It concluded
that there are no national security grounds to oppose the merger.

The transaction remains subject to further conditions being met, including
approval in the US and Europe by the relevant bodies governing competition,
finance and securities, and by other supervisory authorities. These
assessments concerning regulatory requirements and competition law are
expected to continue until the end of the year.
