NEW YORK and LONDON, 2011-10-24 15:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NDAQ) today announced that it has agreed to
acquire Glide Technologies Limited, a leading London-based
software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider specializing in corporate communications
and reputation management solutions. Glide Technologies will be integrated into
NASDAQ OMX's Corporate Solutions to create the first and only fully-integrated
workflow solution for investor relations and public relations professionals.

NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions helps public and private companies minimize
risk, maximize efficiency and increase transparency with a suite of products
that improves market intelligence, communications effectiveness with key
constituencies, corporate governance and overall visibility.

NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions will integrate Glide Technologies' media
monitoring, measurement, content management and newsroom offering with NASDAQ
OMX Corporate Solutions' communications suite of services. This will provide
public relations and investor relations professionals with a unified platform
that allows them to easily plan and implement media and investor campaigns,
build media lists, distribute press releases and closely monitor the
effectiveness of their campaigns.

Demetrios Skalkotos, Senior Vice President, NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions
said: 'As the corporate landscape continues to change, we see the PR, IR and

product offerings. Our mission as an exchange has always been to help our


customers be more efficient, strategic and transparent companies, and this
acquisition will help us continue to deliver on that promise.'

Sam Phillips, Chief Executive Officer, Glide Technologies said: 'We are excited

Solutions' robust IR offerings. This provides IR and PR professionals with a
unique and comprehensive proposition of integrated services on a united
platform. It is a hugely exciting and logical step for our company to be
taking.'
