As of December 31, 2004, the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD") had issued and outstanding
10,806,494 warrants ("Warrants") to purchase up to an
aggregate of 43,225,976 shares of The Nasdaq Stock Market,
Inc.'s ("Nasdaq") common stock, par value $0.01
Page 3 of 5 Pages
per share (the "Common Stock"), held by or on behalf of NASD.
Each Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock in
each of four consecutive exercise periods of approximately
one-year each (the first exercise period expired at the close
of business on June 27, 2003, and the second period expired at
the close of business on June 30, 2004).
Until Nasdaq is registered as an exchange ("Exchange
Registration"), the shares of Common Stock underlying the
Warrants are subject to a voting trust agreement (the "Voting
Trust") whereby a voting trustee will vote all shares of
Common Stock underlying unexpired and unexercised Warrants, as
well as those shares sold upon the exercise of Warrants, as
directed by NASD. The ability of a holder of Common Stock
purchased through the exercise of a Warrant to dispose of the
economic interest in such stock is not affected by the Voting
Trust.
As of December 31, 2004, the 43,225,976 shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by NASD was composed of the following:
o 21,570,408 shares of Common Stock that were subject to
unexercised expired Warrants. Such shares were owned by
NASD and not subject to the Voting Trust. NASD had sole
dispositive and voting power over such shares.
o 42,580 shares of Common Stock that were sold upon
exercise of Warrants. As a consequence of the Voting
Trust, NASD retains voting power over such shares until
Exchange Registration, but has no economic interest in
such shares. Dispositive power over such shares is held
by their record holders.
o 21,612,988 shares of Common Stock that are subject to
unexercised unexpired Warrants. NASD may be deemed to
have voting power over these shares until Exchange
Registration through the Voting Trust, but does not have
dispositive power over any of these shares until the
applicable exercise period of the Warrants expires.
10,806,494 of these shares can be purchased by Warrant
holders through the close of business on June 28, 2005,
the date on which the third exercise period expires. The
remaining 10,806,494 shares can be purchased by Warrant
holders from June 29, 2005 through the close of business
on June 28, 2006, the date on which the fourth exercise
period expires.
On February 9, 2005, NASD entered into an underwriting
agreement with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated and Credit Suisse First Boston LLC providing for
the sale by NASD of 14,000,000 of the 21,570,408 shares of
Common Stock that were subject to unexercised expired Warrants
in a registered public offering. The underwriters also
exercised their overallotment option to purchase from NASD an
additional 2,586,980 shares pursuant to the underwriting
agreement. The sale of these 16,586,980 shares is scheduled to
close February 15, 2005.
