NYSE 跟 Deutsche Borse 要合并了
New York and German Exchanges Seal Merger
BY MICHAEL J. DE LA MERCED
February 15, 2011
NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Borse agreed on Tuesday to a $10 billion all-stock merger, combining two of the world's biggest stock exchanges into a trans-Atlantic powerhouse.
The union of the operators of the New York Stock Exchange and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange marks the biggest instance of consolidation among exchanges, as established players contend with smaller electronic markets that have seized market share.
By combining, the two companies hope to create a giant among financial markets, allowing investors access to thousands of stock listings in the United States and Europe, as well as options, derivatives and other services. But the deal has also stoked fears that New York and its iconic "Big Board" are ceding prominence as a major financial capital.
Last week, the London and Toronto stock exchanges announced their own merger, and in October SGX, the operator of the Singapore stock exchange, said it plans to buy the Australian Stock Exchange.
"This transaction brings together two of the most respected and successful exchange operators in the world to lead the way in global capital markets and set the standard for growth, quality and market reach," Reto Francioni, Deutsche Borse's chief executive, said in a statement.
Duncan Niederauer, NYSE Euronext's chairman, added: "This transaction is a catalyst for the development of a global capital markets community, delivering the best, most transparent, and innovative services for clients and issuers, wherever they are."
NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Borse sealed the deal on Tuesday morning following votes by both boards.
Under the terms of the deal, Deutsche Borse will issue .47 of a share for each NYSE Euronext share, a roughly 10 percent premium to the American company's stock price last Tuesday, before the two announced their talks. The deal values NYSE Euronext at about $10 billion.
As expected, Mr. Francioni of Deutsche Borse will become the combined company's chairman, while Mr. Niederauer of NYSE Euronext will hold |
