United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Visits the NYSE and Rings The Closing Bell® to Commemorate NYSE Euronext’s Participation in the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) Initiative

For Release: 23 Jul 13

Who/What:
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will visit the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to commemorate NYSE Euronext joining the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative, which explores how exchanges can work together with investors, regulators, and companies to enhance corporate transparency on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues and encourage responsible long-term approaches to investment.

  To mark the occasion, NYSE Euronext will host a high-level event, gathering senior executives from NYSE-Listed companies and sustainability professionals with leaders from the United Nations, academia and non-profit organizations at the NYSE. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will deliver special remarks on the evolving role of stock exchanges in promoting sustainable capital markets. New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, who has shown enormous leadership on these issues, will also give remarks. Following the forum, both guests will join NYSE Euronext CEO Duncan L. Niederauer in ringing the NYSE closing bell.

   This celebration further demonstrates NYSE Euronext’s commitment to sustainability. In 2012, NYSE Euronext achieved carbon-neutral status for the third year in a row, again making it the only global exchange operator to do so. In the same year, the company was also named to CDP’s S&P 500 Carbon Performance Leadership Index and received a Green Power Leadership Award from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For a number of years, the company has also been included in several key sustainability indices, including CDP's S&P 500 Disclosure Leadership Index, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and FTSE4Good, and is a member of the EPA’s Green Power Partnership.

NYSE EURONEXT SUBSIDIARY TO BECOME NEW ADMINISTRATOR OF LIBOR

London - 9 July 2013 –NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Limited, a subsidiary of NYSE Euronext (NYX), today announced that following a rigorous selection process conducted by the independent Hogg Tendering Advisory Committee, NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Limited has been appointed as the new administrator for LIBOR. The transfer of the administration from BBA LIBOR Ltd, the subsidiary of the British Bankers’ Association (BBA) is expected to be completed in early 2014, once the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) authorisation of  NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Limited is complete.

Following the recommendations of the Wheatley Review in September 2012, the Hogg Tendering Advisory Committee was mandated by both HM Treasury and the FCA to supervise the selection of a new LIBOR Administrator and to present its recommendations to the BBA. This process has now been concluded and NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Limited has been selected as the new administrator for LIBOR.

As part of a leading global exchange and market infrastructure group, NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Limited is uniquely placed to restore the international credibility of LIBOR.  NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Limited will be able to leverage NYSE Euronext’s trusted brand, long regulatory experience and market-leading technical ability to return confidence to the administration of LIBOR.

Finbarr Hutcheson, CEO of NYSE Liffe said. “At the time of its publication, NYSE Euronext welcomed the findings of the Wheatley Review of LIBOR and today we are delighted to have been selected by the Hogg Tendering Advisory Committee to become the new administrator for LIBOR. We look forward to working with BBA LIBOR Ltd in completing the smooth transition to NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Limited, and continuing the process of restoring credibility, trust and integrity in LIBOR as a key global benchmark.”
