After discussions with the Security Dealer Association and members, NASDAQ OMX
Stockholm AB, NASDAQ OMX Iceland hf and NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S will from
February 8, 2010 until February 15, 2010 apply the below supplement to the
NASDAQ OMX Nordic Member Rules, due to special causes in accordance with 3.1.3.
The rule in paragraph 3.6.4 will be waived and NASDAQ OMX will have the right
to assess what constitutes a well-functional market in accordance with 3.6.1,
even if less than 25% of trading in market is down.
In the event of any technical disruptions, NASDAQ OMX will evaluate whether the
market should be closed down or not. NASDAQ OMX will make an overall
assessment, including the amount of trading that is down and the overall
stability of the trading. As guidance, if 5-15% of the market is unable to
trade, that is one indicator that could, together with an overall assessment,
lead to a trading suspension. Any suspension of trading will be made if NASDAQ
OMX decides that a well-functioning market in accordance with 3.6.1 cannot be
maintained.
