SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE CME/CBOT MERGER:

KNOW THE RISKS OF DEALING WITH ICE

Dear CBOT Shareholders:

We are sending this letter to set the record straight and make sure that all CBOT members and shareholders have the facts they need to see through the ICE propaganda and understand the significant risks of their proposal.

ICE Offers a Riskier Currency

The current ICE stock price is clearly being driven by a takeover premium, not by fundamentals. But don’t just take our word for it. The financial community has issued a number of clear warnings about the risk of ICE’s stock:

Bank of Montreal: “If it became evident ICE would win [CBOT], ICE stock would fall substantially.” – Mike Vinciquerra – 6/14/07

Bank of America: “Takeout speculation has been fueling the stock of late, but we do not believe a takeout is likely near-term. And while fundamentals have been decent, we are not sure they are strong enough to support the stock at current levels.” – Chris Allen – 6/14/07

Goldman Sachs: “The biggest risk to our price target is ICE’s potential acquisition of BOT. While the transaction would have attractive long term accretion, there are significant hurdles to completing the integration. Further, should NYMEX attract a larger share of commodity volumes or the global OTC market slow, earnings could underperform our expectations.” – Daniel Harris – 6/14/07

CIBC: “We believe that ICE’s stock has traded higher since the CME revised offer in expectation that ICE would not succeed in its bid attempt and would itself become a takeover target.” – Niamh Alexander – 6/13/07

Deutsche Bank: “We believe ICE would have to raise its bid substantially to overcome CME’s operational advantage, with DOJ approval, and that any new bid could pressure ICE shares to the downside.” – Rob Rutschow – 6/13/07


        LOGO

Credit Suisse: “We believe the greatest near-term risk to our ICE call relates to its bid to merge with CBOT. We believe a successful bid would likely lead to sizeable equity issuance/earnings dilution, higher investment spending and integration risk while dampening ICE’s stand-alone high growth franchise.” – Howard Chen – 6/11/07

ICE Provides a High Risk Proposition

The facts are clear. ICE does not have the technology or clearing capabilities to manage CBOT business. To accommodate your trading activity, ICE Clear will have to increase its clearing capacity by thirteen times NYBOT’s average daily transactions and nineteen times its peak transactions. To handle your electronic trading volume on its platform, ICE will have to increase its technology capacity by six times to handle an average CBOT day and ten times to handle your peak days. Again, you don’t have to take our word for it.

Richard Dennis, Independent Trader: “When it comes to the reliability of trading platforms, the Merc is a nine, the Board of Trade is a six and ICE is a one,” (Richard) Dennis told the Sun-Times. He said that of all the trading glitches he encounters, “80 percent of them are due to ICE and the rest equally to the Board of Trade and the Merc.” – Chicago Sun-Times – 6/21/07

Computer Sciences Corporation, an independent technology consulting firm: “transferring to the ICE platform would create substantial risk to CBOT and its pools of liquidity.” – CSC Report – May 2007

Keep in mind that ICE is still integrating NYBOT and NGX; it still needs to integrate ChemConnect; it stills needs to build new data centers; it still needs to build out NYBOT’s clearing; it still needs to build a London clearing operation; and it just announced another merger with the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange.

ICE Wants to Minimize the Value of Your CBOE Exercise Rights

Through its proposal with CBOE, ICE has undervalued your exercise rights. Why have CBOE and ICE drastically undervalued the ERP, offering to buy out your ERPs for a fraction of their value? Do you really trust that ICE and CBOE will protect that value? In contrast, CME and CBOT have now provided a minimum value of $500,000 per ERP along with the upside to unlock the full value.

Jerry Zordani, CBOT member: The Merc’s latest offer is very compelling. It preserves the exercise rights.” – Chicago Tribune – 6/15/2007

CBOT/CME Merger is the Right Trade for CBOT Members and Shareholders

A CBOT/CME combination delivers real and immediate and long-term benefits for members, shareholders and customers. Together, we will be the industry’s leading exchange with a powerful growth strategy. We will offer the most world’s most diverse

derivatives product line available via state of the art trading platform or floor. We will have world-class clearing that will continue to provide over $1 billion in margin efficiencies. We will continue our collective tradition of providing preferred pricing for high volume producers. We have regulatory clearance. And–we are ready to integrate today and can begin delivering value immediately.

As members and shareholders of CBOT Holdings you are sophisticated market participants. You understand risk. On July 9, the choice is clear: vote “YES” on a CBOT/CME combination.

 

Sincerely,
