EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 7, 2010 (the “Schedule TO”) by The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NASDAQ OMX” or the “Company”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO filed with the SEC on August 2, 2010 (“Amendment No. 1”), in connection with the Company’s offer to exchange certain outstanding stock options to purchase up to an aggregate of 944,700 shares of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2010, whether vested or unvested, that were granted on or after January 1, 2006 and on or before June 30, 2008 and have an exercise price greater than $30.00 per share (“Eligible Options”).

This Amendment No. 2 is filed to report the results of the Program by amending only the item of the Schedule TO included below. Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, as amended by Amendment No. 1, remains unchanged and this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule TO, as amended by Amendment No. 1. This Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Schedule TO and Amendment No. 1. All defined terms used in this Amendment No. 2 have the same meaning as in the Offer to Exchange Eligible Options for Replacement Options dated July 7, 2010.
