We intend to grow our existing business and the reach and scale of our operations, through business development initiatives, acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances where appropriate.

To implement this strategy, we will pursue 3 objectives:

• Reinforcing and extending our position as the premier source of equity market liquidity, benchmark prices and market data in the European time zone
  
• Operating a diversified business which capitalises on the emergence of an increasingly innovative environment, through leadership in technology and market services
  
• And thereby delivering superior value to our customers and shareholders

Reinforcing and extending our position as the premier source of equity market liquidity, benchmark prices and market data in the European time zone

• Regulatory changes are encouraging customers to examine how they conduct business
  
• Evolving investment strategies are stimulating demand for greater cross-border product range
  
• Consolidating post-trading infrastructure are providing choice among transaction venues and offering change at minimal cost to customers
  
• Pursue a competitive strategy and exploit the advantages of the London market model

Operating a diversified business which capitalises on the emergence of an increasingly innovative environment, through leadership in technology and market services

• The Exchange has embarked on a programme of work to completely refresh its technology systems and operations; our Technology Roadmap. It will be delivered by the end of 2006 and represents the biggest change to our trading systems since the implementation of the Sequence Programme and SETS between 1994-1997
  
• We believe in supporting choice, accommodating diversity and our customers’ different business models

Customers make the market

And thereby delivering superior value to our customers and shareholders
