On December 23, 2008, Direct Edge and the International Securities Exchange ("ISE") completed the previously announced transaction whereby the ISE Stock Exchange became a wholly owned subsidiary of Direct Edge.
THE TRANSACTION
This transaction allowed ISE to become a part of the fastest growing equities market center in the U.S. through its 31.5% ownership stake in the business. This exciting partnership has paired the strengths of both organizations to create a formidable competitor in the equities space.

Direct Edge has taken over operational control of the ISE Stock Exchange and will maintain the superior technology, innovative market structure, and commitment to customer service that ISE Stock Exchange members have come to expect. When the EDGA and EDGX Exchanges officially launch, however, the ISE will be decommissioned. More details on the transition can be found here.
