At the Big Board, Seeking Rejuvenation in Consolidation
Keywords:
Merced describes the events leading to the acqusition of NYSE Euronext by ICE. On Dec. 20, 2012, Intercontinental Exchange said it would acquire NYSE for $8.2 billion. Mr Sprecher of ICE approached Duncan Niederauer of NYSE Euronext in September 2012, and the deal was put together in 3 months. Niederauer has a good relationship with Sprecher and both sides kept the door open after the bid by ICE and Nasdaq to acquire NYSE Euronext failed. Niederauer had persuaded the Board much earlier about the advantages of merging with ICE- providing a clearinghouse for its futures exchange operation LIFFE in London, no overlapping business that would cause problems with regulators, and the prospects of a well managed ICE under Sprecher in a growing and profitable derivatives business. The details were worked out quickly with Sprecher maintaining two headquarters, one in Atlanta and the other in New York City. ICE would gve LIFFE clearinghouse services by June 2013. Niederauer will be president and report to Mr. Sprecher.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
