NASDAQ is the largest electronic screen-based equity securities market in the United States. NASDAQ lists more companies and, on average, trades more shares per day than any other U.S. market. It is home to category-defining companies that are leaders across all areas of business including technology, retail, communications, financial services, transportation, media and biotechnology.On December 8, 2005, NASDAQ acquired Instinet Group and immediately thereafter sold Instinet’s Institutional Broker business to Silver Lake and Instinet management. As a result of this transaction, NASDAQ retained Instinet’s Group’s INET division, a leading electronic liquidity pool for equities trading in the United States. In addition to purchasing the technology-based Institutional Broker division, Silver Lake and affiliates invested $145 million in NASDAQ (in the form of convertible notes and warrants) as acquisition finance to help fund NASDAQ’s acquisition. In connection with the investment, Silver Lake also joined NASDAQ’s board.NASDAQ is an iconic brand on both Wall Street (because of its role as a pioneer in equities trading) and in the technology industry (as the home to many of the world’s great technology companies and as a financial technology innovator itself). Through NASDAQ’s Issuer Services segment, the company lists shares of public issuers, licenses financial products, and provides information services and products to listed companies. Through its Market Services segment, NASDAQ operates routing and trade execution systems and collects, processes, and disseminates price quotes and trade information. NASDAQ is the primary market for trading NASDAQ-listed stocks as well as a leading liquidity pool for trading NYSE-listed stocks. The combination of the NASDAQ and INET platforms has resulted in superior execution opportunities for customers, the premier technology offering in the industry, and greatly increased operational efficiency Please visit www.nasdaq.com for more information about NASDAQhttp://www.silverlake.com/content.php?page=investments-portfolio&id=7
