Item 8.01. Other Events

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of August 26, 2009, by and among NYSE Technologies, Inc. ("NYSE"), CBR Acquisition Corp. and NYFIX, Inc. ("NYFIX"), NYFIX filed the required notification and report forms under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), on September 11, 2009. On October 16, 2009, NYFIX issued a press release announcing that the waiting period required under the HSR Act was terminated early on October 13, 2009, and also that RiskMetrics Group has recommended that NYFIX's stockholders vote "FOR" the merger. The termination or expiration of the HSR waiting period is one of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. The closing of the merger continues to be subject to other conditions, including certain other regulatory approvals, as well as approval by NYFIX's stockholders at a special meeting to be held on November 3, 2009. Although the merger is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2009, there can be no assurance that the transaction will be completed during such timeframe, or at all.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
