VLN: NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Will Use the Euro Currency for Trading and Clearing from November 22

NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Announcement from the exchange 12.10.2010

NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Will Use the Euro Currency for Trading and Clearing from
November 22

Vilnius, October 12 - NASDAQ OMX Vilnius, part of the NASDAQ OMX Group (NASDAQ:
NDAQ) today announced that it will change its trading and clearing currency for
shares on its regulated market from litas to euro as of November 22, 2010. This
follows customer feedback and evaluation of the market participant readiness.
Trading in shares listed on NASDAQ OMX Vilnius will only be conducted in euro.
The Central Securities Depository of Lithuania will provide settlement of
transactions in euro via the TARGET2 system.

“By changing the trading and clearing currency on NASDAQ OMX Vilnius to the euro
we aim to attract more foreign investors to the Lithuanian securities market.
Thanks to lower currency conversion costs the market will capture more interest
from foreign investors as well as a majority of the Lithuanian investors who are
trading on multiple markets. Thus, this change benefits the financial market as
a whole and all investor groups”, said Arminta Saladziene, Chairman of the
NASDAQ OMX Vilnius Management Board.

From 2011, the neighboring country Estonia will adopt the euro as its national
currency. This means that two Baltic exchanges will use the same trading and
clearing currency, resulting in 95% of all Baltic share market turnover traded
in euros. The third Baltic stock exchange, NASDAQ OMX Riga, will also move along
with its plan to introduce trading in the euro on its regulated equities market
as soon as agreement with market participants and authorities is in place. This
will further decrease currency conversion costs, which makes portfolio
diversification easier and simplifies portfolio value calculation.

In total, trading and clearing in euro is expected to lead to a more liquid
market and bigger market depth, which will benefit all current and potential
investors.

The major changes for investors after the implementation of trading and
settlement in euros on the regulated market of NASDAQ OMX Vilnius are:

- Euro will be the trading and settlement currency
- Due to currency conversion rates, NASDAQ OMX Vilnius together with its
customers have decided to reduce the tick size (the minimum step that a share
price could move) for NASDAQ OMX Vilnius equities market from 0.01 to 0.001.

Trading information on the NASDAQ OMX Baltic website is already shown in four
different currencies (EUR, EEK, LVL and LTL). Price history, graphs and
statistics previously shown in EEK, LVL, LTL, EUR will continuously be shown in
that respective currency. The default currency on the web will be euro. Baltic
indices are already calculated in euros, therefore the index graph will be
continued adding new trading information.
