LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE SHARES COMMENCE TRADING ON THE MAIN MARKET
Shares in London Stock Exchange plc today became available on the main market of the Exchange.
The listing of Exchange shares follows the decision by its shareholders at yesterday's EGM to remove the 4.9 per cent shareholding limit. Since demutualisation last year, the Exchange's shares had been traded on a matched bargain facility provided by Cazenove.
Welcoming the listing, Clara Furse, Chief Executive of the London Stock Exchange, said:
"This is an important milestone in our commercial development. Full listing gives us the flexibility we need to exploit strategic business opportunities. We have a growing business and are in a strong position to achieve our strategic vision and objectives."
