Explanation of Responses:

1. As a result of an administrative error by the Issuer, on December 11, 2008 13,251 Restricted Stock Units ("RSU") issued under the NYSE Euronext 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "plan") were mistakenly converted into common stock of the Issuer. In order to avoid or minimize penalty taxes that would be imposed under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code as a result of the mistaken conversion of the RSUs into common stock, the Issuer and the Reporting Person followed the correction procedures set forth in IRS Notice 2008-113. These procedures required the Reporting Person to transfer the shares received upon the mistaken conversion of the RSUs to the Issuer (the June 4, 2009 transfer). Thereafter, the Issuer issued new shares to the Reporting Person in accordance with the plan (the June 16, 2009 issuance). Neither the Reporting Person nor the Issuer paid any consideration in connection with these transfers.

2. These shares were returned to the Issuer on June 4, 2008 in order to correct the administrative error.

3. Amount reported represents the shares of common stock that were received by the Reporting Person upon the mistaken conversion of the RSUs.

4. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting.

5. These RSUs were mistakenly converted into shares of common stock of the Issuer.
