CESCO: LME Chairman Says No Sale Decision Made Yet

The London Metal Exchange isn't yet in a position to put forward
a recommendation to its members on whether or not to support a sale
of the 135-year old commodities trading business, its chairman said
late Monday.
Brian Bender told a reception hosted by the LME at the British
Embassy in Santiago that the exchange had strict criteria that
would need to be met in order for a decision to be made.
These criteria include the right price, a deal deemed to be
essential for the exchange as well as one that created additional
value, Bender said.
"If they meet criteria, we'll be putting the bid to the
shareholders," he added.
Firm bids for the LME are due May 7, with CME Group Inc. (CME),
IntercontinentalExchange Inc. (ICE), Hong Kong Exchanges and
Clearing Ltd. (0388.HK) and NYSE Liffe, the London-headquartered
derivatives arm of NYSE Euronext (NYX), all in the final running,
people familiar with the situation told Dow Jones Newswires. The
LME will then consider the offers and make its decision, with
members, who are also the exchange's shareholders, to then vote on
a bid if one is recommended.
"We want to ensure we have sufficient dialogue with members, so
if shareholders feel they do not have information so far, we invite
them to please contact us," he told the reception during the annual
CESCO industry week, which was also attended by a number of the
LME's members.
