CORPORATE EXECUTIVE BOARD & NYSE EURONEXT
ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
 
NYSE-Listed Companies Benefit from Access to Proprietary Insights on Corporate Performance
and Investor Perspectives
ARLINGTON, Va. — Aug. 9, 2010 — The Corporate Executive Board (CEB) (NASDAQ: EXBD), a leading research and advisory services company, today announced it has entered into an alliance with NYSE Euronext (NYSE: NYX), the world’s leading and most liquid equities exchange group, that will offer NYSE-listed companies exclusive benefits drawn from CEB’s proprietary data and insights. It will also enable the NYSE to deliver deeper, more actionable business insights around corporate performance and investor perspectives to its listed companies.
“NYSE is pleased to partner with CEB to extend CEB’s thought-provoking, performance-focused programs to our listed companies,” said Scott Cutler, EVP and co-Head of U.S. Listing and Cash Execution, NYSE Euronext. “We view CEB as an authoritative provider of the types of data and tools, best practice research, and peer insights that our listed companies need to assess their relative valuation, communicate effectively with shareholders, and drive corporate performance.”
The CEB/NYSE relationship will focus initially on offerings from CEB’s Finance and Strategy Practice. NYSE-listed CFOs and heads of IR who are interested in CEB membership will be offered exclusive benefits, including the NYSE Market Valuation Diagnostic. The NYSE Market Valuation Diagnostic is a sophisticated analytical tool developed to meet the distinct needs of NYSE-listed companies. The tool combines a listed company’s historical performance, current valuation, and analyst estimates to provide a view of key valuation drivers and strategies for closing valuation gaps drawn from CEB’s deep analysis of corporate best practices.
“This alliance will help NYSE-listed companies drive corporate performance by arming them with actionable data and analysis,” said Thomas L Monahan, III, CEB Chairman and CEO. “We’re honored that the NYSE sees the value in CEB’s unique insights, and we’re confident that the partnership will be a great vehicle for introducing the power of CEB’s assets to more CFOs and their teams on a global basis.”
Beyond the exclusive membership offerings, NYSE will broaden its popular Digital Exchange webinar series to include CEB’s proprietary content. In addition, NYSE’s global CFO and investor relations roundtables and networking events will include CEB leadership, who will address emerging trends and issues.
CEB also announced today that it will transfer the listing of its common stock to the NYSE. CEB expects to begin trading on the NYSE on Aug. 20, 2010 using its current symbol “EXBD.” The company will continue to trade on the NASDAQ until the transfer is completed.

 

 


 

“We are thrilled to welcome CEB to the NYSE community where it will trade among the world’s most valuable and powerful brands,” Mr. Cutler concluded.
