1.      Organization

IntercontinentalExchange Group, Inc. (“ICE Group” or the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (“ICE”), also a Delaware corporation. ICE Group was organized on March 6, 2013, for the purpose of effecting ICE’s acquisition of NYSE Euronext (“the acquisition”), as described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus of ICE Group filed with the SEC on April 30, 2013 (File No. 333-187402) (the “Proxy Statement”) and discussed below. Upon the completion of the acquisition, ICE and NYSE Euronext will each become wholly-owned subsidiaries of ICE Group and ICE Group, as the successor to ICE, will be a publicly traded holding company. Following the acquisition, ICE and NYSE Euronext stockholders will be the holders of shares of ICE Group common stock.

ICE Group currently has two subsidiaries; Braves Merger Sub, Inc. and Baseball Merger Sub, LLC. Braves Merger Sub, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on March 6, 2013 for the sole purpose of effecting the acquisition, and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ICE Group. Upon the completion of the acquisition, Braves Merger Sub, Inc. will cease to exist. Baseball Merger Sub, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed on December 12, 2012 for the sole purpose of effecting the acquisition, and is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ICE Group. Upon the completion of the acquisition, NYSE Euronext will merge with and into Baseball Merger Sub, LLC, and Baseball Merger Sub, LLC will continue to exist as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ICE Group. However, if the acquisition is restructured such that Baseball Merger Sub, LLC will merge with and into NYSE Euronext, NYSE Euronext will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ICE Group.

ICE Group has not commenced operations, has no significant assets or liabilities, and has not carried on any activities other than those incidental to its formation and the matters contemplated by the acquisition. There is currently no established public trading market for shares of ICE Group common stock. However, upon completion of the acquisition, shares of ICE Group common stock will be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “ICE”.

ICE is a leading operator of regulated global markets and clearing houses, including futures exchanges, over-the counter markets, derivatives clearing houses and post-trade services. ICE operates these global marketplaces for trading and clearing of a broad array of energy, environmental and agricultural commodities, credit derivatives, equity index and currency contracts. NYSE Euronext is a leading operator of financial markets and provider of trading technologies. NYSE Euronext is a holding company that, through its subsidiaries, operates the following securities exchanges: the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Arca, Inc. and NYSE MKT LLC in the United States and the European-based exchanges that comprise Euronext N.V. — the Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon stock exchanges, as well as the NYSE Liffe derivatives markets in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels and Lisbon.

NYSE Euronext Proposed Acquisition by ICE

In December 2012, ICE announced an agreement to acquire NYSE Euronext in a stock and cash transaction. Under the agreement, which was amended and restated in March 2013, ICE has agreed to acquire NYSE Euronext, subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. Following successive acquisition transactions, ICE and NYSE Euronext will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of ICE Group. The transaction is currently valued at approximately $9.5 billion, based on the closing price of ICE’s stock on August 1, 2013. The final purchase price will be based on the actual market price per share of ICE’s stock on the closing date of the acquisition. The acquisition is expected to close during the second half of 2013, subject to final approval from the Euronext College of Regulators, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other national financial regulators, as well as customary closing conditions.

2.      Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from these estimates. The results of operations for the period from March 6, 2013 (the date of incorporation) to June 30, 2013 and for the three months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on our present beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to us. You can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “targets,” “goal,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and other factors include those set forth in the Proxy Statement and under Item 1(A) under the caption “Risk Factors” in the IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (“ICE”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The forward-looking statements included in this report are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about future events. Other sections of this report describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, ICE operates 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 consolidated 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.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations and we do not intend to do so. We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We expressly qualify in their entirety all forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Board of Directors of ICE Group authorized ICE Group to accept the offer of ICE to purchase and subscribe for one share of common stock at the price of $10 per share. The purchase was effected in March 2013.

ICE Group was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the acquisition, and will not be funded until the acquisition takes place. Therefore, ICE Group has no current liquidity or capital resource requirements.

During the period covered by this report, ICE Group did not conduct any material activities, and therefore did not incur any significant risk.

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. ICE Group has not commenced operations, has no significant assets or liabilities, and has not carried on any activities other than in connection with the proposed acquisition of NYSE Euronext.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.

None.

During the period covered by this report, ICE Group did not conduct any material activities other than those related to its formation and the acquisition described above. Therefore, ICE Group did not incur any significant risk.
