NASDAQ OMX Signs Contract With the Tokyo Commodity Exchange

NEW YORK, April 16, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc.
(Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced it has signed a contract with the Tokyo Commodity
Exchange (TOCOM) and NTT Data to provide an integrated trading and clearing
system for commodity derivatives. The contract with TOCOM represents NASDAQ
OMX's first technology customer in Japan and its first major technology contract
win since its merger.

In December 2007 TOCOM announced their selection of NASDAQ OMX as technology
provider, and NTT Data as prime contractor and system integrator for its new
trading and clearing platform. Today at a contract signing ceremony in Tokyo,
NASDAQ OMX signed the License Agreement with TOCOM, as well as Project and
Support Agreements with NTT Data. The new system is scheduled to roll out in May
of 2009.

"Our signing today is a reflection of the successful collaboration between
TOCOM, NTT Data and NASDAQ OMX in designing an agreement that puts us on course
for a successful launch," said Markus Gerdien, Executive Vice President Market
Technology at NASDAQ OMX. "In order to provide optimal support, we have recently
appointed a local General Manager with plans to further increase our presence in
Japan, which remains an important marketplace for NASDAQ OMX."

"It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we today signed this contract
with NASDAQ OMX and NTT Data," says Mr. Fukui, Executive Director TOCOM Systems
Division. "The deployment of a world-class, high performance exchange system
will enable us to offer more and better services to our customers, allowing
TOCOM to grow and thrive in the global commodity marketplace."

The integrated trading and clearing system delivered to TOCOM by NASDAQ OMX is
based on an open architecture with Straight-Through-Processing (STP)
capabilities that enable the entire trade process to be conducted
electronically.
