NASDAQ OMX will launch CCP Clearing for the ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) traded on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm and NASDAQ OMX Helsinki on 11th of December 2009 (85/09)

NASDAQ OMX has together with EMCF introduced CCP clearing for Swedish, Danish,
Finnish and Norwegian equities. NASDAQ OMX will now launch Central Counterparty
(CCP) services for the ETFs traded on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm and NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki. 

As of December 11th 2009, 13 ETFs on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm and 1 ETF listed on
NASDAQ OMX Helsinki will be moved from bilateral settlement to Central
Counterparty Clearing serviced by EMCF. Testing will be offered in the NASDAQ
OMX test environment SAXTST1on December 7th. Please find the instruments that
will be CCP cleared from 11th of December, in attached PDF. 

Note that technically enabling CCP for these instruments has no effect on their
SAXESS identifiers or submarket the order books belong to. No order books will
be moved between submarkets. Therefore, NASDAQ OMX will not cancel open orders
in these order books in connection to the launch. 

Access to the OMX STO Fund units and/or OMX HEL Fund units submarkets is
automatically granted and limited to those trading members who have a valid
Statement of Authority. Trading members who do not fulfill this criteria will
be excluded from the OMX STO Fund units and/or OMX HEL Fund units submarket as
of December 11th, 2009 and their open orders will be cancelled after market
close on December 10th, 2009.
