Market merger wins approval 股票交易所合并提议获通过

Frankfurt's board discussed the merger at a speacial meeting

法兰克福股票交易所监督委员会召开

特别会议讨论合并问题

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.

股票交易所合并提议获通过

伦敦股票交易所和法兰克福股票交易所合并产生世界第三大证券交易所的计划扫除了一个重要障碍。

法兰克福股票交易所监督委员会同意合并。合并后将产生国际证券交易所（iX）。

这一决定是在监督委员会会议上做出的，其中17票赞成，4票弃权，无反对合并的投票。

伦敦股票交易所此前已通过合并提议。

监督委员会主席拉尔夫-布鲁尔说下一步双方将一起召开会议，可能是在九月份什么时候。

股东们仍有可能终止这一合并计划。双方均需取得百分之七十五的股东的同意，而这一表决的时间表尚未列出。
