INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
CME Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (CME Group or the Registrant), hereby amends its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No.
333-151577), which was declared effective on July 21, 2008 (the Form S-4), by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form S-8 (this Post-Effective Amendment or this Registration Statement)
relating to the sale of up to 523,865 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of CME Group (the CME Group Class A Common Stock) issuable upon the exercise of stock options granted under the NYMEX Holdings,
Inc. 2006 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan). All such shares of CME Group Class A Common Stock were originally registered on the Form S-4.
On August 22, 2008, NYMEX Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (NYMEX Holdings), was merged (the Merger) with and into CMEG NY Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned
subsidiary of CME Group (Merger Sub), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 17, 2008, and amended as of June 30, 2008, July 18, 2008 and August 7, 2008 (the Merger
Agreement), by and among CME Group, Merger Sub, NYMEX Holdings and New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc., a Delaware non-stock corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYMEX Holdings. As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub continued as the
surviving corporation and as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CME Group, and the separate existence of NYMEX Holdings ceased. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.01
per share, of NYMEX Holdings (the NYMEX Holdings Common Stock), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares of NYMEX Holdings Common Stock owned by CME Group or NYMEX Holdings or any of
their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries and other than shares of NYMEX Holdings Common Stock for which appraisal rights were sought under applicable law) was converted into the right to receive, at the election of each NYMEX Holdings stockholder,
consideration in the form of cash or CME Group Class A Common Stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. The cash consideration per share of NYMEX Holdings Common Stock for which a valid cash election was made is equal to $81.16, the sum of
(i) $36.00 plus (ii) the product of (a) 0.1323 and (b) $341.3720, the average closing sale price, rounded to four decimal places, of CME Group Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (as reported in the
Wall Street Journal
, New York City edition) for the period of ten consecutive trading days ending on the second full trading day prior to the effective time of the Merger (the Average CME Group Share Price). The stock
consideration per share of NYMEX Holdings Common Stock for which a valid stock election was made is 0.2378 shares of CME Group Class A Common Stock, which is equal to the cash consideration per share divided by the Average CME Group Share
Price. The cash and stock consideration payable in the Merger was subject to proration based on an approximately $3.4 billion mandatory cash component. Because the mandatory cash component was undersubscribed, NYMEX Holdings stockholders who elected
to receive stock consideration in the Merger will receive a portion of their consideration in cash.
At the effective time of the Merger,
all outstanding NYMEX Holdings stock options granted under or pursuant to the Plan, whether or not exercisable, were assumed by CME Group and automatically became options to purchase shares of CME Group Class A Common Stock on the same terms
and conditions applicable to such NYMEX Holdings stock options. The number of shares of CME Group Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such option is equal to the number of shares of NYMEX
2
Holdings Common Stock subject to the assumed option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger multiplied by 0.2378, the number of shares of CME
Group Class A Common Stock to be received per share of NYMEX Holdings Common Stock for which a valid stock election is made, without proration, rounded down to the nearest whole number. The exercise price of each such option is equal to the
exercise price of the assumed NYMEX Holdings option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger divided by 0.2378, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
Except with respect to the accelerated vesting of certain stock options held by NYMEX Holdings employees under certain circumstances, each adjusted option is subject to the same terms and conditions, including
expiration date, vesting and exercise provisions, as were applicable to the corresponding option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger.
This Registration Statement is intended to register an aggregate of 523,865 shares of CME Group Class A Common Stock, and the rights associated therewith, that may be issued under the Plan.
The designation of this Post-Effective Amendment as Registration No. 333-151577 denotes that this Post-Effective Amendment relates only to the
shares of CME Group Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options under the Plan and that this is the first Post-Effective Amendment on Form S-8 to the Form S-4 filed with respect to such shares.

Item 6.
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
Section 145 of Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award or a corporations board of directors to grant indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under some
circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act and to provide for the reimbursement of expenses incurred.
As permitted by
Delaware law, Article ELEVEN of the certificate of incorporation and Article VIII of the bylaws of CME Group provide that (i) CME Group is permitted to indemnify its directors, officers and other employees and agents to the fullest extent
permitted by Delaware law; (ii) CME Group is permitted to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors, officers and other employees and agents in connection with defending a legal proceeding if it has received in advance an undertaking by
the person receiving such advance to repay all amounts advanced if it should be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified; and (iii) the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive. As permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law, the current certificate of incorporation of CME Group includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (a) for
any breach of the directors duty of loyalty to it or its stockholders; (b) for acts of omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (c) under Section 174 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law (regarding payments of dividends; stock purchases or redemptions which are unlawful); or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision in the certificate of
incorporation does not eliminate the directors fiduciary duty, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director
will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the directors duty of loyalty to CME Group for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper
personal benefit to the director and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a directors responsibilities under any other law, such as
the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions of
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the full text of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of CME Group.

Power of Attorney (included on signature pages).
|
(a) The undersigned Registrant
hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
that
paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by such paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
7
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois, on the 25th day of August, 2008.
