Amendment No. 2 to Statement on Schedule 13D
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (the Statement) relates to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (the Shares), of The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer). This Amendment No. 2 supplementally amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D, dated March 7, 2008 (the Initial Statement) and Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Statement, dated December 16, 2010 (Amendment No. 1), filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined in item 2 hereof). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement and Amendment No. 1.
The Initial Statement and Amendment No. 1 are supplementally amended as follows. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Statement does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Initial Statement or Amendment No. 1.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 of the Initial Statement and Amendment No. 1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
This Statement is being filed jointly by Investment Corporation of Dubai, a company registered in the Dubai International Financial Centre in Dubai with company number 0490 (ICD) and Borse Dubai Limited, a company registered in the Dubai International Financial Centre in Dubai with company number 0447 (Borse Dubai) (together, the Reporting Persons).
ICDs principal business is to act as the investment arm of the Government of Dubai. Borse Dubais principal business purpose is to act as a holding company for investments in stock exchanges, which includes 79.63% ownership of the Dubai Financial Market, a public joint stock company incorporated in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), pursuant to decree No. 62 for the year 2007 issued by the Ministry of Economy on February 6, 2007 and is subject to the provisions of the UAE Federal Law No. 8 for the year 1984 and its amendments and 33.33% ownership of Nasdaq Dubai, a company registered in the Dubai International Financial Centre with registrations number 0009 (Nasdaq Dubai). In addition, Dubai Financial Market owns 66.67% of Nasdaq Dubai.
The address of ICDs principal business and principal office is P.O. Box 333888, Gate Village 7, Floor 6, Dubai International Financial Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The address of Borse Dubais principal business and principal office is P.O. Box 506690, Level 7, Precinct Building 5, Gate District, Dubai International Financial Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, are or were subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Initial Statement and Amendment No. 1 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Borse Dubai Nasdaq Share Trust (the Trust) of which Borse Dubai is the sole beneficial owner, originally pledged the Shares it held to Nomura International plc as collateral agent in December 2010 in connection with Borse Dubais obligations under a financing arrangement. This arrangement was later refinanced and, as a result, the Shares granted as security for that transaction were released. All 17,660,367 Shares were then transferred from the Trust to Borse Dubai whereby the Shares were transferred directly from Nomura International plc (who held them as custodian for the Trust) to Borse Dubai, as further described in Item 4, and then re-pledged to Nomura International plc under the 2011 Borse Dubai Pledge Agreement, as further described in Item 6. As Borse Dubais total direct holding in the Issuer was below 19.99%, there was no longer any need to continue holding 17,660,367 Shares through the Trust. The Trust was therefore dissolved following the transfer of its Shares from Nomura International plc directly to Borse Dubai. Other than the payment of all liabilities of the Trust (such as fees and expenses), no other consideration was paid by Borse Dubai to the Trust for the transfer of Shares.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Initial Statement and Amendment No. 1 are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
ICD and Borse Dubai acquired beneficial ownership of 60,561,515 Shares on February 27, 2008, pursuant to the OMX Transaction Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2007, as amended, dated as of February 27, 2008 (the OMX Transaction Agreement), among the Issuer, Borse Dubai and BD Stockholm AB, whereby Borse Dubai exchanged 117,227,931 shares of OMX AB (publ) (OMX Shares), a public corporation organized under the laws of Sweden (OMX) for 60,561,515 Shares and SEK 11,678,630,352. As directed by Borse Dubai, 17,660,367 Shares of the 60,561,515 Shares beneficially owned by ICD and Borse Dubai were issued by the Issuer directly to the Trust, of which Borse Dubai was the sole named beneficial owner. On June 23, 2011, the Trust, which beneficially owned 17,660,367 Shares was dissolved and pursuant to the Letter of Instruction and Cancellation (the Letter of Instruction), all 17,660,367 Shares which the Trust directly owned were transferred to Borse Dubai. As a result, Borse Dubai became the direct beneficial owner of 29,780,515 Shares.
The summary of the OMX Transaction Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement and its amendment which are respectively filed as Exhibit 7.1 and Exhibit 7.2 hereto and the summary of the Letter of Instruction is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreement filed as Exhibit 7.12 and each agreement is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
ICD and Borse Dubai originally acquired the 60,561,515 Shares as part of a series of transactions for the purpose of creating a strategic alliance with the Issuer designed to create a global financial marketplace with a unique footprint spanning the United States, Europe, the Middle East and strategic emerging markets. In conjunction with the OMX Transaction Agreement, the Issuer, Borse Dubai, and the Dubai International Financial Exchange Limited, a company registered in the Dubai International Financial Centre in Dubai, entered into the DIFX Transaction Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2007.
The Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; provided, however, with respect to clause (d), as long as Borse Dubai continues to hold at least 21,450,574 Shares, Borse Dubai, pursuant to the Nasdaq Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the OMX Transaction Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 7.1), will be entitled to propose for nomination two directors for election to the Issuers Board of Directors. As long as Borse Dubai maintains at least 10,725,287 Shares, Borse Dubai will be entitled to nominate one director for election to the Issuers Board of Directors.
Borse Dubai intends regularly to review its investment in the Issuer. Based on such review, as well as other factors (including, among other things, its evaluation of the Issuers business, prospects and financial condition, other opportunities available to it and general market, industry and economic conditions), Borse Dubai may, and reserves the right, subject to the Ownership Restrictions, including standstill restrictions (as further described in Item 6 below), to acquire additional securities (including Shares) of the Issuer, or sell some or all of its Shares in privately negotiated transactions, registered offerings or otherwise. Borse Dubai may formulate plans or proposals for, and may from time to time explore, or make proposals relating to, transactions or actions which relate to or would result in any of the matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, subject to the Ownership Restrictions.
