NASDAQ OMX Makes Changes in its Nordic Operations to Better Serve the Nordic Financial Market

Stockholm, November 10, 2008 — The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ)
announced today that its business area Transaction Services Nordic will be
reorganized to better serve clients and incorporate the acquired Nord Pool
business. This change follows the launch of the new roadmap for the Nordic
equity market, announced on October 16th. As a result of this move, all
customer service roles within the cash equities and equities derivatives areas
will be combined into a single unit. 

Hans-Ole Jochumsen, Executive Vice President, NASDAQ OMX, commented, “We
recognized that integrating our client service functions would allow us to
better focus on the needs of our clients and at the same time increase our
competitive advantage.  Additionally, we have made some functional changes that
will increase our operational efficiency as our organization continues to
expand and grow.” 

As part of the reorganization, several management changes will be made. 

Bjørn Sibbern will head up sales efforts for both the cash equities and
equities derivatives in the Nordics and continue to serve as the President of
NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen. Previously Mr. Sibbern was responsible for sales within
the cash equities markets. 

Henrik Husman has been appointed acting President of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki.
Henrik Husman will also continue to serve as Vice President of Products within
the equities markets. 

Jouni Torasvirta, former President of NASDAQ OMX Helsinki, has chosen to seek
new challenges outside the company. Jouni Torasvirta has for the last 20 years
been a valuable contributor in the development of the Nordic securities market. 

Magnus Billing will expand his current role to take on the position of acting
head of the Surveillance operation within NASDAQ OMX Nordic. Currently Magnus
Billing serves as Chief Counsel Europe for NASDAQ OMX. 

Anders Ackebo will leave his position as head of Surveillance for NASDAQ OMX
Nordic looking for new challenges outside the company after reaching an
agreement with NASDAQ OMX. Anders Ackebo joined the company as Head of
Surveillance in Stockholm in 2001. Anders Ackebo has contributed to creating
trust and credibility for the markets by running the surveillance operation. 

The Surveillance department, primarily responsible for monitoring trading and
disclosures made by listed companies, will be moved out of the Transaction
Services Nordic and into the Office of General Counsel. This will further
enhance the independence of the Surveillance unit. 

The operations within the Financial Training business unit will in the future
be outsourced and operated by an external company. All courses and training
currently offered by NASDAQ OMX Nordic will continue. 

The acquisition of Nord Pool's international energy and carbon derivatives will
be organized in the Commodities business unit within the Transaction Services
Nordic business area. 

A new business unit, European Derivatives, headed by Henrik Paulsson, will be
introduced focusing on new initiatives within the derivatives and clearing
areas.
