NASDAQ OMX signs Letter of Intent with Ukrainian Interbank Currency Exchange

Stockholm, June 10, 2008 — The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) announced
that it has signed a Letter of Intent with the Ukrainian Interbank Currency
Exchange CJSC for cooperation to further develop the Ukrainian capital markets. 

The parties have agreed that the development and strengthening of the Ukrainian
capital markets will be based on global standards. The purpose of the agreement
is to increase the visibility, attractiveness and access to Ukrainian
securities by increasing the efficiency and liquidity of the Ukrainian capital
markets. A key focus will be to create a reliable and well functioning market,
based on NASDAQ OMX technology and trading systems. 

“The Ukrainian capital market has high growth potential, but it lacks
efficiency and liquidity. Together with NASDAQ OMX, we aim to start with the
most fundamental part of the securities market infrastructure. An efficient
trading environment will create the basis for an attractive and liquid
Ukrainian market,” said Mr. Pjotr Pereverzev, Chairman of the Board of the
UICE. 

“NASDAQ OMX is a leading expert in providing trading solutions and we are
convinced that together with UICE we can create an efficient trading
infrastructure in Ukraine, based on the best of global standards,” said Mr.
Magnus Böcker, President of NASDAQ OMX. 

Following the signing of the Letter of Intent, NASDAQ OMX and UICE aim to
develop further cooperation, and have signed an Early Start Agreement to
acquire NASDAQ OMX technology.
