NASDAQ OMX Selected to Deliver Board Communications System to Vattenfall

Vattenfall commits to NASDAQ OMX'S Director's Desk solution for mobile and
secure board communication 

Stockholm, February 6, 2013 — NASDAQ OMX (NASDAQ: NDAQ) announces that it has
been selected as the supplier of board communications technology to Vattenfall,
one of Europe’s largest producers of electricity and the largest producer of
heat. Swedish-based Vattenfall will implement NASDAQ OMX’s Director’s Desk
solution for mobile and secure board communications. NASDAQ OMX was awarded the
contract in a public tender issued by Vattenfall. 

“Our Director’s Desk solution already has a strong global footprint and the
commitment of a world leading organisation such as Vattenfall is a further
testament to our technology,” said Adam Kostyal, Senior Vice President at
NASDAQ OMX Corporate Client Group. “As board work is becoming increasingly
global and as a result also more mobile, Director’s Desk embraces the latest
technology in order to make the daily board tasks more efficient while ensuring
the highest level of security and confidentiality.” 

About Director’s Desk
Directors Desk offers a comprehensive solution designed to improve board
communications and effectiveness while relieving corporate executives of the
paperwork and time involved in keeping boards informed. Available as a fully
hosted solution with no hardware or software to install, it improves board
effectiveness while minimizing the time and paperwork involved in keeping
directors informed. Through its web-based platform, Directors Desk is
accessible 24/7 from any location on the globe. Documents can be easily
updated, uploaded or downloaded by the corporate secretary or board members.
And, if anyone should have questions about the materials being sent, Directors
Desk offers a secure email system so that board members can converse without
worrying about who has access to sensitive information.
