<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><b>Note 8—Fair Value of Financial Instruments</b>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">NYSE Euronext accounts for certain financial instruments at fair value in accordance with the Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy on
the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair
value measurements. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial instruments is determined using
various techniques that involve some level of estimation and judgment, the degree of which is
dependent on the price transparency and the complexity of the instruments.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In accordance with the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic, NYSE Euronext has categorized
its financial instruments measured at fair value into the following three-level fair value
hierarchy based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair
value:
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 6pt">

<td width="3%"> </td>
<td width="3%" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"><b>•</b></td>
<td width="1%"> </td>
<td>Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices
for identical assets or liabilities
in an active market that NYSE Euronext has
the ability to access. Generally, equity
and other securities listed in active
markets and investments in publicly traded
mutual funds with quoted market prices are
reported in this category.</td>

<td width="3%" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"><b>•</b></td>
<td width="1%"> </td>
<td>Level 2: Inputs are either directly or indirectly
observable for substantially
the full term of the assets or
liabilities. Generally, municipal bonds,
certificates of deposits, corporate bonds,
mortgage securities, asset backed
securities and certain derivatives are
reported in this category. The valuation
of these instruments is based on quoted
prices or broker quotes for similar
instruments in active markets.</td>

<td width="3%"> </td>
<td width="3%" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"><b>•</b></td>
<td width="1%"> </td>
<td>Level 3: Some inputs are both unobservable
and significant to the
overall fair value measurement and reflect
management’s best estimate of what market
participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability. Generally, assets and
liabilities carried at fair value and
included in this category are certain
structured investments, derivatives,
commitments and guarantees that are
neither eligible for Level 1 or Level 2
due to the valuation techniques used to
measure their fair value. The inputs used
to value these instruments are both
observable and unobservable and may include NYSE Euronext’s own projections.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">If the inputs used to measure the
financial instruments fall within different levels of the fair value
hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement of the instrument. A review of the fair value hierarchy classifications is
conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the valuation inputs may result in a reclassification
for certain financial assets or liabilities.
</div>

measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in
millions):

December 31, 2009 presented in the tables above and the related amounts in the condensed
consolidated statements of financial condition is primarily due to investments recorded at cost or
adjusted cost such as non-quoted equity securities, bank deposits and other interest rate
investments, and to debt instruments recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of our long-term
debt instruments was approximately
$2.3 billion as of March 31, 2010. The carrying value of all
other financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value. For both periods as of March 31, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, NYSE Euronext had $8 million, of Level 3 securities
consisting of auction rate securities purchased by NYSE Amex prior to its acquisition by NYSE
Euronext on October 1, 2008. Since February 2008, these auction rate securities have failed at
auction and are currently not valued at par. As of March 31, 2010, the weighted average price of
these auction rate securities was 93 cents to a dollar and NYSE Euronext had recorded in other
comprehensive income a $0.4 million unrealized gain on these securities.
