Chicago Stock Exchange Re-engaging in a Process to Explore Strategic Alternatives To Enhance Shareholder Value

Following the mutual termination of the merger agreement between CHX Holdings, Inc., and North America Casin Holdings, Inc., the Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc. (CHX), announced today that its Board of Directors is re-engaging in a process to explore strategic alternatives to further enhance shareholder value, including a potential sale of the company. CHX has not set a definitive timetable for completion of its review of strategic alternatives, nor gives any assurances that the process will result in any transaction being announced or completed in the future. CHX does not intend to make any further announcements related to its review unless and until its Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate.

As the only independent and full-service stock exchange in the United States, CHX offers the ability to transact business in virtually all equity securities listed on NYSE, CBOE Bats, NASDAQ, and other national securities exchanges.
