Statement from OMX regarding Borse Dubai

The Board of OMX AB ("OMX") notes Borse Dubai' s purchase of 4.9 per cent in OMX and its statement that it has options, subject to certain conditions, to acquire a further 22.5 per cent shareholding in OMX. OMX has received no further clarification as to Borse Dubai's intentions.

OMX also notes NASDAQ's announcement that it is fully committed to the proposed merger with OMX.
OMX confirms that the only offer it has received is the offer from NASDAQ recommended by the Board of OMX and announced on May 25th. Preparation of the documentation and the pursuit of necessary approvals are on track; the initial filing of NASDAQ's S-4 documentation was made with the SEC on 7th August and the offer to OMX shareholders is expected to close in the fourth quarter 2007.

The combination of OMX and NASDAQ will provide significant benefits for customers, shareholders and stakeholders in both companies, strengthen the Nordic region as a financial centre and provide enhanced opportunities for economic growth throughout the Nordic region.
OMX will continue to monitor the situation closely.
