"Nasdaq Stock Market Inc. agreed to buy Sweden's OMX AB for 25.1 billion Swedish kronor ($3.7 billion), pushing into Europe after two failed attempts to acquire London Stock Exchange Group Plc. Nasdaq offered 208.1 kronor a share in cash and stock, or 16 percent more than Stockholm-based OMX's closing price yesterday, the companies said in a statement today. OMX, founded in 1985, was the world's first publicly listed bourse, and operates seven Nordic and Baltic exchanges." (Quoted from article)
