Congressman Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Offer of Purchase of New York Stock Exchange by NASDAQ OMX Group and Intercontinental Exchange

(WASHINGTON, DC)– Congressman Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY) released the following statement in regards to the offer of purchase of the New York Stock Exchange:

“As Nasdaq OMX Group and the Intercontinental Exchange pursue an offer to purchase the iconic New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), it is my hope that regulators carefully weigh the impact of the proposal on all stakeholders. As rival bids exist for the NYSE, from my perspective, any deal that is approved must unlock the greatest value for consumers, shareholders, and ultimately New York.”
