The NYSE Euronext (NYX) Board of Directors today declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share for the third quarter of 2010. The third quarter 2010 dividend is payable September 30, 2010 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2010. The anticipated ex-date will be September 13, 2010.
Dividend Currency Election
As a convenience to its European shareholders, NYSE Euronext has offered
registered shareholders domiciled in Europe and shareholders that hold their
shares through Euroclear France the ability to elect payment of the dividend in
euros. The dividend will be converted from U.S. dollars to euros at an exchange
rate prevailing on a date near the anticipated respective dividend payment
dates. To the extent that such shareholders do not make an election, the
dividend will be paid by NYSE Euronext in U.S. dollars.
In order to elect to receive the dividend in euros, registered shareholders domiciled in Europe must complete a NYSE Euronext currency election form. Registered shareholders may also elect to receive their dividends via electronic funds transfer. Forms for these elections have been sent to registered shareholders by NYSE Euronext’s transfer agent, Computershare, and are available on https://www-us.computershare.com/investor (click "Register Now" to sign up for access to your account). Shareholders that hold their shares through Euroclear France that wish to elect to receive the dividend in Euros must contact their broker.
NYSE Euronext has appointed Société Générale as its paying agent for shareholders holding their shares through Euroclear France. Brokers that wish to contact Société Générale should call:

Tax Information
The United States Internal Revenue Service requires that all non-resident alien
investors certify their foreign status by completing a Form W-8BEN. A Form
W-8BEN is also required in order to claim, if applicable, a reduced rate of
withholding as a resident of a foreign country with which the United States has
an income tax treaty. Failure to provide a completed Form W-8BEN may result in
the imposition of U.S. backup withholding taxes on dividend payments to your
account.
Registered holders will receive the Form W-8BEN from Computershare or they can download it on https://www-us.computershare.com/investor. Shareholders that hold their shares through a Euroclear participant must contact their broker to obtain the Form W-8BEN.
Deadline for Election
Eligible registered shareholders who have not previously submitted forms
must return the completed NYSE Euronext currency election form and completed
Form W-8BEN to Computershare no later than each respective record date.
