Warsaw bourse to acquire state-of-the-art cash and derivatives trading platform provided by NYSE Technologies™ as part of a multi-year business partnership
New York, Paris and Warsaw, July 12, 2010 -- NYSE Euronext (NYX) and the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) today announced the establishment of a strategic, long-term cooperation agreement covering the development of future mutually-beneficial business initiatives and the migration of WSE markets to NYSE Technologies™ Universal Trading Platform. Financial terms were not disclosed.
As part of a multi-year commercial agreement, NYSE Euronext will provide WSE with the Universal Trading Platform for its cash and derivative markets. Both parties will explore new trading, market data and business development initiatives serving investors and issuers of a wide range of financial instruments. NYSE Technologies, the commercial technology unit of NYSE Euronext, will deliver the Universal Trading Platform and work with WSE to develop new IT-based opportunities in Poland and the Central and Eastern Europe region. This will build on the distribution capabilities of SFTI™ and further broaden the community of SFTI connected markets.
"NYSE Euronext welcomes this partnership with the Warsaw Stock Exchange, a regional leader that is well positioned for further growth and success, said Duncan L. Niederauer, Chief Executive Officer, NYSE Euronext. I am thrilled that the WSE has selected NYSE Euronext at this critical point in its international strategy. We look forward to working together on this and other initiatives to benefit our respective markets, customers and stakeholders."
"The undertaking we are now starting with NYSE Euronext is, without any doubt, one of the most significant moves aimed at developing the WSE further as an international market place, said Ludwik Sobolewski, Chief Executive Officer, Warsaw Stock Exchange. It is a direct consequence of the strategy adopted and implemented by the WSE Board in recent years. We are at the very beginning as regards the strategic partnership, but this beginning comes at a very appropriate moment, complementing other, already much more advanced endeavours. "
Dominique Cerutti, President and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of NYSE Euronext, said, "Our relationship with WSE goes back many years and we are excited to both further our partnership and to serve such an important role in its future success by applying our technology assets and expertise. WSE's decision to use the NYSE Euronext Universal Trading Platform enables our partner to take full advantage of our investment in innovative exchange solutions and communications infrastructure."
