of products broadens our equity index product suite to cover
additional key European markets providing customers with a tool to
efficiently manage their European index exposures via a single
marketplace. We are excited to continue working with our customers

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking
Information
This press release contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve a number of
risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by
forward-looking words such as "may," "might," "should," "expect,"
"plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential"
or "continue," and the negative of these terms and other comparable
terminology. All statements that reflect our expectations,
assumptions or projections about the future other than statements
of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us, may include
projections of our future financial performance based on our growth
strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements
are only predictions based on our current expectations and
projections about future events. There are important factors that
could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or
achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied
by the forward-looking statements.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing
environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time,
and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor
can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any
forward-looking statements.
Some factors that could cause actual results to differ
include: the loss of our right to exclusively list and trade
certain index options and futures products; economic, political and
market conditions; compliance with legal and regulatory
obligations; price competition and consolidation in our industry;
decreases in trading or clearing volumes, market data fees or a
shift in the mix of products traded on our exchanges; legislative
or regulatory changes or changes in tax regimes; our ability to
protect our systems and communication networks from security risks,
cybersecurity risks, insider threats and unauthorized disclosure of
confidential information; our ability to attract and retain skilled
management and other personnel; increasing competition by foreign
and domestic entities; our dependence on and exposure to risk from
third parties; fluctuations to currency exchange rates; factors
that impact the quality and integrity of our indices; the impact of
the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, including changes to
trading behavior broadly in the market; our ability to operate our
business without violating the intellectual property rights of
others and the costs associated with protecting our intellectual
property rights; our ability to minimize the risks, including our
credit and default risks, associated with operating a European
clearinghouse; our ability to accommodate trading and clearing
volume and transaction traffic, including significant increases,
without failure or degradation of performance of our systems;
misconduct by those who use our markets or our products or for whom
we clear transactions; challenges to our use of open source
software code; our ability to meet our compliance obligations,
including managing potential conflicts between our regulatory
responsibilities and our for-profit status; our ability to maintain
BIDS Trading as an independently managed and operated trading
venue, separate from and not integrated with our registered
national securities exchanges; damage to our reputation; the
ability of our compliance and risk management methods to
effectively monitor and manage our risks; our ability to manage our
growth and strategic acquisitions or alliances effectively;
restrictions imposed by our debt obligations and our ability to
make payments on or refinance our debt obligations; our ability to
maintain an investment grade credit rating; impairment of our
goodwill, long-lived assets, investments or intangible assets; the
accuracy of our estimates and expectations; litigation risks and
other liabilities; and if the acquisition of ErisX is consummated,
operating a digital asset business. More detailed information about
factors that may affect our actual results to differ may be found
in our filings with the SEC, including in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31,
2021 and other filings made from time to time with the
SEC.
We do not undertake, and we expressly disclaim, any duty to
update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof.
