Market merger wins approval 股票交易所合并提議獲通過

Frankfurt's board discussed the merger at a speacial meeting

法蘭克福股票交易所監督委員會召開

特別會議討論合并問題

Plans to merge the stock markets of London and Frankfurt as the world's third biggest financial marketplace have cleared an important hurdle.

The proposed merger to create iX has been approved by the Deutsche Boerse.

The decision was reached at a meeting of the supervisory board of the exchange where 17 members voted for the merger. There were four abstentions with no votes against the merger.

The London Stock Exchange has already approved the merger.

Deutsche Boerse chairman Rolf Breuer said the next step would be a meeting of both partners, probably in September some time.

Shareholders must still sign off on the deal. Both exchanges need approval from 75% of the shareholders; neither side has yet scheduled a vote.

股票交易所合并提議獲通過

倫敦股票交易所和法蘭克福股票交易所合并產生世界第三大證券交易所的計劃掃除了一個重要障礙。

法蘭克福股票交易所監督委員會同意合并。合并后將產生國際證券交易所（iX）。

這一決定是在監督委員會會議上做出的，其中17票贊成，4票棄權，無反對合并的投票。

倫敦股票交易所此前已通過合并提議。

監督委員會主席拉爾夫-布魯爾說下一步雙方將一起召開會議，可能是在九月份什么時候。

股東們仍有可能終止這一合并計劃。雙方均需取得百分之七十五的股東的同意，而這一表決的時間表尚未列出。
