Nasdaq Clearing AB sowie die sie unterstützende Clearing-Infrastruktur sind nicht Teil der Akquisition. Nasdaq verbleibt Eigentümer und Betreiber von Nasdaq Clearing AB, um weiterhin umfangreiche Clearing-Dienstleistungen für Nasdaq Nordics Aktienderivate, Fixed-Income-Derivate und weitere finanzielle Derivatekontrakte anbieten zu können.

Im Rahmen der Vereinbarung wird die EEX die aktuelle Marktstruktur im nordischen Strommarkt überarbeiten und Electricity Price Area Differential (EPAD)-Kontrakte durch zonale Futures-Kontrakte ersetzen, die schon ein bewährtes und erfolgreiches Marktmodell in vielen anderen Stromterminmärkten sind.

Bis zur Erteilung der behördlichen Genehmigungen wird Nasdaq den Betrieb des europäischen Stromhandels- und Clearinggeschäfts wie gehabt fortführen. Nasdaq wird den Markt über den Erhalt der Genehmigungen informieren und den Zeitplan für die Übertragung der bestehenden offenen Positionen an die EEX bekanntgeben.
