ICE’s and NYSE Euronext’s filings with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These risks and uncertainties

conditions to completion of the merger, including receipt of
required regulatory and other approvals; the failure of the
proposed transaction to close for any other reason; the possibility
that any of the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction
will not be realized; the risk that integration of NYSE Euronext’s
operations with those of ICE will be materially delayed or will be
more costly or difficult than expected; the challenges of
integrating and retaining key employees; the effect of the
announcement of the transaction on ICE’s, NYSE Euronext’s or the
combined company’s respective business relationships, operating
results and business generally; the possibility that the
anticipated synergies and cost savings of the merger will not be
realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period;
the possibility that the merger may be more expensive to complete
than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or
events; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business
operations and opportunities; general competitive, economic,
political and market conditions and fluctuations; actions taken or
conditions imposed by the United States and foreign governments or
regulatory authorities; and adverse outcomes of pending or
threatened litigation or government investigations. In addition,
