NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen improves the information from the investment units market and changes opening hours Copenhagen, September 18, 2008 — OMX Nordic Exchange, part of NASDAQ OMX Group, announces that the market for investment units and other collective investment schemes traded on the OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen will open 15 minutes later from September 29, 2008. The market data from the investment units will also be improved from that day onwards, with additional price information for units, not traded on a daily basis. Trading in investment units is based on continuous reporting of net asset values from the funds and thereby secure that the investors can execute their trading based on correct prices. The background for the changing of the opening hours is among other things, that the funds now have more foreign securities in their portfolios and this means that some funds have had difficulties having the asset values updated and ready by 9.30 AM. ”We were very pleased with our unique marketplace which gives the same transparent trading terms as when trading shares. Changing the opening hours slightly creates even better framework, since trading can take place according to updated net asset values from early morning. At the same time we will offer additional price information in the shape of an indicative closing price for units which are not traded daily and this provides the investors with more correct statements from their bank depository” says Bjørn Sibbern, President OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen. The calculation of the indicative closing price is done by certain criteria. For example, the order books have to have bid and ask prices for at least 85 percent of the opening hours and the difference between bid and ask prices cannot exceed four percent. All in all there are 472 listed units on the market for investment units and six on the market for other collective investment schemes. The opening hours are 9.45 to 17.00 as of September 29, 2008.
