(“SLTI II” and, together with the SLP Partnerships, the “SLP Entities”) relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (the “Issuer”). In addition, Instinet LLC (“Instinet LLC”) and Instinet Clearing Services, Inc. (“Instinet Clearing”, and together with Instinet LLC, the “Instinet Entities”) are added as members of the filing group (the Instinet Entities, together with the SLP Entities, the “Reporting Persons”). Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on May 2, 2005.

Item 2 Identity and Background.

     Item 2 is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following before the final paragraph thereof:

     Instinet LLC (“Instinet LLC”) is a Delaware limited liability company whose principal business is providing broker/dealer services. The principal office of Instinet LLC is located at Three Times Square New York, New York 10036. The sole member of Instinet LLC is Instinet Holdings Incorporated (“IHI”), a Delaware corporation.

Item 3 Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following before the penultimate paragraph thereof:

     The Merger Closing occurred on December 8, 2005, and in connection therewith, the SLP Entities, the H& F Partnerships and the other parties to the Loan were required to repay the Loan. In order to fund the repayment of the Loan, the SLP Entities purchased additional membership interests issued by Norway Holdings in the aggregate of $141,364,584 pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The source of funds for such Additional Subscription by each of the SLP Entities was the capital contributions of the partners of such SLP Entities. The SLP Entities’ purchase of membership interests in the amount of $141,364,584, together with equity contributions made by the other SLP Subscribers and the H&F Partnerships were used by Norway Holdings to subscribe to additional membership interests issued by Norway SPV in an

CUSIP No. 631103108		SCHEDULE 13D/A		Page 9 of 13

aggregate amount of $205,000,000 pursuant to a subscription agreement, dated as of April 22, 2005, between Norway SPV and Norway Holdings. Norway SPV then used the proceeds of such sale of membership interests to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan.

Item 5 Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

     The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Items 2, 3, 4 and 6 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

     (a), (b) The information contained on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. The following disclosure assumes that there are 82,011,757 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which the Issuer represented in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as of October 31, 2005.

     Prior to the Merger Closing, the Series A Notes and the Series A Warrants were directly owned by Norway SPV. Upon the Merger Closing, Norway SPV distributed these securities by assigning its entire right, title and interest in the Series A Notes and the Series A Warrants to its sole member, Norway Holdings. Immediately thereafter, Norway Holdings distributed these securities by assigning its entire right, title and interest in the Series A Notes and the Series A Warrants to its members, the SLP Subscribers and the H&F Entities, in the aggregate amounts set forth in the Subscription Agreements and in the respective percentages set forth in the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Norway Holdings (the “Holdings LLC Agreement”). As a result of these distributions by Norway SPV and Norway Holdings, respectively, the Reporting Persons directly own the Series A Notes and the Series A Warrants as follows:

     (i) SLP TSA — $20,769,557 aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes and Series A Warrants to purchase 223,810 shares of Common Stock;

     (ii) SLI — $584,610 aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes and Series A Warrants to purchase 6,300 shares of Common Stock;

     (iii) SLP II TSA — $119,843,382 aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes and Series A Warrants to purchase 1,291,415 shares of Common Stock; and

     (iv) SLTI II — $167,034 aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes and Series A Warrants to purchase 1,800 shares of Common Stock.

     Upon the consummation of the distributions described in this Item 5, Norway Holdings and Norway SPV ceased to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock. As a result of these transactions, the SLP Entities, the other SLP Subscribers and the H&F Entities no longer share control over their respective shares, and therefore do not constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(5) of the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),

CUSIP No. 631103108		SCHEDULE 13D/A		Page 10 of 13

with respect to the Series A Notes and the Series A Warrants that had been beneficially owned by Norway Holdings.

     Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and as a result of the relationships among the SLP Entities, each of the SLP Entities is deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes and the Series A Warrants owned by the other SLP Entities. The Series A Notes are initially convertible into shares of Common Stock at a price of $14.50 per share, and the Series A Warrants are initially exercisable at a price of $14.50 per share. The number of shares of Common Stock each of the Reporting Persons would individually be deemed to own if not a group is set out below:

     (i) SLP TSA — 1,432,383 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes and 223,810 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by SLP TSA

     (ii) SLI — 40,318 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes and 6,300 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by SLI.

     (iii) SLP II TSA — 8,265,061 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes and 1,291,415 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by SLP II TSA.

     (iv) SLTI II — 11,519 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes and 1,800 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by SLTI II.

     (v) Instinet LLC — 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock and 281,250 shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants held by Instinct LLC.

     (vi) Instinet Clearing — 24,000 shares of Common Stock.

     In addition, as a result of the relationships among SLP Entities and the Instinet Entities, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(5) of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. As such, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, of all the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the other Reporting Persons. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 12,702,856 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 13.6% of the Common Stock outstanding.

     The information set forth in response to this Item 5 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Holdings LLC Agreement (Exhibit 10 hereto) and the Subscription Agreement (Exhibit 7 hereto), each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

     (c) Each of the Reporting Persons reports that neither it, nor to its knowledge, any person named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D, has effected any transaction in Common Stock during the past 60 days, except as disclosed herein.

CUSIP No. 631103108		SCHEDULE 13D/A		Page 11 of 13

     (d) Except as otherwise described in Item 2 and this Item 5, no one other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as described in Item 5.

     (e) Not applicable.

Item 6 Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following before the penultimate paragraph thereof:

     In connection with the Merger Closing, the Issuer and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as trustee, entered into the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 8, 2005 (the “Indenture Supplement”), to amend the Indenture governing the Notes. The Indenture Supplement revised the definition of “Credit Facility” to reflect a maximum size credit facility of $825,000,000, an increase of $25,000,000 from the original Indenture. Additionally, the Issuer, Norway SPV, the H&F Entities and the SLP Subscribers entered into Amendment No. 1, dated as of December 7, 2005 (the “Securityholders Amendment”), to the Amended Securityholders Agreement. The Securityholders Amendment corrected an error contained in the Amended Securityholders Agreement as originally executed.
