Item 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD: TRANSFER OF LISTING
The IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (“ICE”) Board of Directors Governance Principles state that the Chief Executive Officer of ICE shall be the Chairman of the Board and that the independent directors shall elect from their ranks a lead director. The independent directors of ICE have elected Frederic V. Salerno as the lead director. As lead director, Mr. Salerno presides at all executive sessions of the non-management directors. The Governance Principles also provide that non-management directors meet in executive session without the participation of management at all regularly scheduled meetings of the Board of Directors as deemed necessary and may be called at any other time as necessary to fulfill the Board of Directors’ responsibilities. In addition, the Governance Principles also state that if all non-management directors are not independent directors, then the independent directors will meet at least once annually. ICE’s 2006 proxy statement for its 2006 annual meeting of stockholders included references to ICE’s Governance Principles and stated that the Governance Principles are available at the following webpage, www.theice.com.
The Commentary to Section 303A.03 of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) Listed Company Manual requires each listed company to disclose in its proxy statement the name of the director chosen to preside at executive sessions of non-management directors or the procedure by which a presiding director is selected for each executive session. On March 6, 2007, the NYSE notified ICE that it was considered deficient in meeting the above requirement and provided until March 13, 2007 to cure the deficiency. The NYSE’s notice states that the disclosure deficiency may be cured by including the required disclosure in a Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, concurrent with the filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K, ICE believes that it has cured this deficiency.
