IntercontinentalExchange Chief Technology Officer Named to InfoWorld CTO 25
for 2009

ATLANTA, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- IntercontinentalExchange, Inc(R)
(NYSE: ICE), a leading operator of regulated global futures exchanges,
clearing houses and over-the-counter (OTC) markets today announced that its
Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Edwin Marcial, was named to the InfoWorld CTO
25 Awards list for 2009. The awards feature was published on International
Data Group's (IDG) InfoWorld website today.

Said Galen Gruman, Executive Editor/News and Features, InfoWorld: "The
diversity of challenges that a CTO faces was very evident in this year's
InfoWorld CTO 25 entries. But what was common across the 25 CTOs we chose as
the year's top CTOs was a combination of management savvy, technological
insight, and the ability to lead a team to success even in difficult
circumstances. This year's honorees reinvented untenable legacies, provided
game-changing insight, and managed both their own teams and key organization
stakeholders to make their businesses succeed through the use of technology.
Our honorees did much more than implement technology well; they brought its
use to a new level."

Chuck Vice, ICE President and Chief Operating Officer, said: "As one of the
founding members of the ICE team, Edwin has led the development and growth of
the ICE platform, which is today one of the most sophisticated trading
platforms globally. In addition to the launch of ICE Clear Europe in 2009,
Edwin managed a range of other initiatives that continue to contribute to
ICE's growth as a company."

InfoWorld credited Marcial with guiding the development of and transition to
ICE's new European clearing house, while simultaneously working on other
projects including the continued build out of the core ICE derivates trading
platform that operates all of ICE's exchange business to achieve
industry-leading sub-3 millisecond transaction times for futures markets.
