NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen improves the information from the investment units market
and changes opening hours 

Copenhagen, September 18, 2008 — OMX Nordic Exchange, part of NASDAQ OMX Group,
announces that the market for investment units and other collective investment
schemes traded on the OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen will open 15 minutes later
from September 29, 2008. The market data from the investment units will also be
improved from that day onwards, with additional price information for units,
not traded on a daily basis. 

Trading in investment units is based on continuous reporting of net asset
values from the funds and thereby secure that the investors can execute their
trading based on correct prices. The background for the changing of the opening
hours is among other things, that the funds now have more foreign securities in
their portfolios and this means that some funds have had difficulties having
the asset values updated and ready by 9.30 AM. 

”We were very pleased with our unique marketplace which gives the same
transparent trading terms as when trading shares. Changing the opening hours
slightly creates even better framework, since trading can take place according
to updated net asset values from early morning. At the same time we will offer
additional price information in the shape of an indicative closing price for
units which are not traded daily and this provides the investors with more
correct statements from their bank depository” says Bjørn Sibbern, President
OMX Nordic Exchange Copenhagen. 

The calculation of the indicative closing price is done by certain criteria.
For example, the order books have to have bid and ask prices for at least 85
percent of the opening hours and the difference between bid and ask prices
cannot exceed four percent. 

All in all there are 472 listed units on the market for investment units and
six on the market for other collective investment schemes. 

The opening hours are 9.45 to 17.00 as of September 29, 2008.
