NASDAQ OMX Commodities Launches Swedish-Norwegian Electricity Certificate Instruments On May 6, 2013

As previously announced, Swedish-Norwegian Electricity Certificate instruments will be launched for trading and clearing at NASDAQ OMX Commodities Europe (the “Exchange”) and NASDAQ OMX Clearing (the “Clearinghouse”).

The Electricity Certificate instruments will be Euro denominated, covering 5 yearly forward contracts with March expiry.

The daily spot contract will not be launched on May 6, 2013, as we, due to regulatory requirements, will only list instruments defined as “financial instruments” according to Norwegian law. However, it is our intention to list a Day Future contract in the near future.
