2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Preparing financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from these estimates. The results of operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 20162017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of us and our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions between us and our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidation. For those consolidated subsidiaries in which our ownership is less than 100% and for which we have control over the assets and liabilities and the management of the entity, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as non-controlling interests. In instances where outside stockholders’ hold an option to require us to repurchase the outside stockholders'stockholders’ interest, these interests are shown as redeemable non-controlling interests.
Held for Sale
We classify long-lived assets or disposal groups as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management commits to a plan to sell; the long-lived asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such long-lived assets or disposal groups; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; the sale is probable within one year; the asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Long-lived assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized until the date of sale. The fair value of a long-lived asset less any costs to sell is assessed each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale, and any change in fair value is reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset, except that increases in fair value are limited to prior decreases recorded. Upon being classified as held for sale, depreciation and amortization is ceased. See Note 10 for information regarding our classification of Trayport as held for sale as of June 30, 2017.


New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, theThe Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 606. ASU 606 provides guidance outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance requires us to recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are required to adopt ASU 606 at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2018. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and significant judgments in measurement and recognition. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the overall impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, as well as the method of adoption. Based on our preliminary assessment, we expect that the adoption may accelerate the timing of recognition of a portion of original and supplemental listing fees related to our NYSE businesses, which are currently deferred over an estimated customer life of nine and five years, respectively. We are continuing our assessment, which may identify other impacts of the adoption of ASU 606.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or ASU 2016-01. ASU 2016-01 provides updated guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of certain financial assets and liabilities, including the requirement that equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) are to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. OnWith the adoptionsale of ASU 2016-01,our Cetip investment, we no longer have any equity investments that would be required to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value of our equity investment in Cetip, S.A., or Cetip, will no longer be reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income but will be recognized in net income. As of June 30, 2016, our investment in Cetip included an accumulated unrealized gain of $103 millionincome (Note 10)11). During the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016, the change in the fair value of the Cetip investment was an increase of $128 million and $75 million, respectively. Once adopted, such fair value changes will be reported as other income (expense) under ASU 2016-01. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine any additional potential impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In February 2016, theThe FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases, or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and

quantitative disclosures. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We will not adopt ASU 2016-02 early, but we are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements and whether we will adopt this guidance early.statements.
In March 2016, theThe FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Stock Compensation2016-18, (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment AccountingStatement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, or ASU 2016-09. ASU 2016-09 provides updated guidance for2016-18, that will require entities to show the recognition, measurement, presentation,changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and disclosure of certain components of stock compensation. The guidance includes the recognition of all excess tax benefits/deficienciesrestricted cash equivalents in the statement of incomecash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and classification as operating activities withincash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, the new guidance requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows as well asto the optionrelated captions in the balance sheet. This reconciliation can be presented either on the face of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to account for forfeitures based on awards expectedthe financial statements. Entities will also have to vest or as they occur.disclose the nature of their restricted cash and restricted cash equivalent balances. ASU 2016-09 is2016-18 becomes effective for annual and interim reporting periodsus in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We decidedwill be required to apply the guidance retrospectively when adopted, and provide the relevant disclosures in the first interim and annual periods in which we adopt the guidance. We will not adopt ASU 2016-092016-18 early, but do expect to be impacted by the new presentation and disclosure requirements required by ASU 2016-18 due to our restricted and unrestricted cash balances.

3.Acquisitions and Divestitures
TMX Atrium Acquisition
On May 1, 2017, we acquired 100% of TMX Atrium, a global extranet and wireless services business, from TMX Group. TMX Atrium provides low-latency access to markets and market data across 12 countries, more than 30 major trading venues, and ultra-low latency wireless connectivity to access markets and market data in the Toronto, New Jersey and Chicago metro areas. The wireless assets consists of microwave and millimeter networks that transport market data and provide private bandwidth. Our customers are increasingly seeking wireless services for use in their trading strategies. TMX Atrium is now part of ICE Data Services and is being integrated with our connectivity services, including our Secure Financial Transaction Infrastructure, or SFTI network.
National Stock Exchange Acquisition
On January 31, 2017, we acquired 100% of National Stock Exchange, Inc., now named NYSE National. The acquisition gives the NYSE Group a fourth U.S. exchange license. NYSE National is distinct from NYSE Group’s three listings exchanges because

NYSE National will only be a trading venue and will not be a listings market. NYSE Group’s three listings exchanges, NYSE, NYSE MKT (NYSE MKT changed its name to NYSE American in July 2017) and NYSE Arca, have unique market models designed for corporate and ETF issuers. After closing the transaction, NYSE National ceased operations on February 1, 2017. We will engage with NYSE National members, buy-side participants and retail brokerage firms before finalizing operational plans for NYSE National’s re-launch, which is expected to occur in 2018.
Purchase of Minority Interests
For consolidated subsidiaries in which our ownership is less than 100% and for which we have control over the assets, liabilities and management of the entity, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016, non-controlling interest included those related to the operating results of our CDS clearing subsidiaries in which non-ICE limited partners held a 42.5% net profit sharing interest; ICE Endex in which Gasunie held a 21% ownership interest; and ICE Clear Netherlands in which ABN AMRO Clearing Bank N.V. held a 25% ownership interest. For both ICE Endex and ICE Clear Netherlands, in addition to the non-controlling interest reported in the consolidated statements of income, we reported redeemable non-controlling interest in the consolidated balance sheets which represents the minority interest redemption fair value for each company.
During June 2017, we purchased both Gasunie’s 21% minority ownership interest in ICE Endex and ABN AMRO Clearing Bank N.V.’s 25% minority ownership interest in ICE Clear Netherlands. Subsequent to these acquisitions, we own 100% of ICE Endex and ICE Clear Netherlands and will no longer include any non-controlling interest amounts for ICE Endex and ICE Clear Netherlands in our consolidated financial statements. During April 2017, we purchased 3.2% of the net profit sharing interest in our CDS clearing subsidiaries from a non-ICE limited partner and the remaining non-ICE limited partners hold a 39.3% net profit sharing interest as of JanuaryJune 30, 2017.
Pending Acquisition of Global Research Divisions Index Platform from Bank of America Merrill Lynch
On June 1, 20162017, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire the Global Research division’s index platform from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, or BofAML. The BofAML indices are the second largest group of fixed income indices as measured by assets under management, or AUM, globally. Upon closing, the AUM benchmarked against our combined fixed income indices will be nearly $1 trillion, and the indices will be re-branded as the ICE BofAML indices.
NYSE Governance Services Divestiture
On June 1, 2017, we sold NYSE Governance Services to Marlin Heritage, L.P. NYSE Governance Services provides governance and compliance analytics and education solutions for organizations and their boards through dynamic learning solutions. We recognized a net loss of $6 million on a prospective basis. As a result,the sale of NYSE Governance Services, which was recorded in depreciation and amortization expenses in the consolidated statements of income for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded $12 million and $1 million, respectively, in excess tax benefits within our consolidated statements of income2017 (Note 8)4). No other terms of the adopted guidance resulted in any significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s financial statement presentation. For the six months and three months ended June 30, 2015, we reclassified $47 million and $23 million, respectively, of transaction based expenses in transaction and clearing revenues, net to transaction based expenses for consistency of how we report our cash equities markets. The amounts reclassified to transaction based expenses relate to equity options markets. For the six months and three months ended June 30, 2015, we also reclassified $27 million and $14 million, respectively, in connectivity fees from other revenues to data services revenues.

3.Acquisitions
Interactive Data AcquisitionManaged Solutions Divestiture
On December 14, 2015,March 31, 2017, we acquired 100%sold Interactive Data Managed Solutions, or IDMS, a unit of Interactive Data, Holdings Corporation, or Interactive Data, in a stock and cash transaction. The total purchase price was $5.6 billion comprised of cash consideration of $4.1 billion and 6.5 million shares of our common stock. The cash consideration was funded from $2.5 billion of net proceeds received on November 24, 2015 in connection with the offering of new senior notes and $1.6 billion of borrowing under our commercial paper program (Note 6). Interactive Datato FactSet. IDMS is a leadingmanaged solutions and portal provider of financial market data, analytics and related data solutions, serving financial institutions, assetfor the global wealth management firms, hedge funds, securities and the financial instrument processing and administration sectors. ICE Data Services is the marketing name we use to refer to the suite of pricing, market data, analytics, and related services offered by us and certain of our affiliates, including Interactive Data and its subsidiaries.
The total purchase priceindustry. There was allocated to Interactive Data’s preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities basedno gain or loss recognized on the estimated fair valuessale of those assets as of December 14, 2015, as set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill and assigned to our data and listings reporting unit. The adjusted preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in millions):
Cash and cash equivalents$301
Goodwill3,247
Identifiable intangible assets2,883
Other assets and liabilities, net268
Deferred tax liabilities on identifiable intangible assets(1,071)
Total purchase price$5,628

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, we considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Interactive Data’s business. We have not yet obtained all of the information related to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities related to the acquisition to finalize the purchase price allocation. However, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, we adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation based on updated fair value analyses of the Interactive Data tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The fair value adjustments reflected in the tables above and below primarily result in an increase in data/databases intangible assets of $33 million, a decrease in trade name and trademarks intangible assets of $21 million, a decrease in customer relationship intangible assets of $17 million, a decrease in other assets and liabilities, net of $28 million, an increase in deferred tax liabilities on identifiable intangible assets of $20 million, and a corresponding increase in goodwill of $47 million. The income statement impact for 2015 related to these fair value

adjustments is not significant and has been recorded in 2016 in accordance with ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.

The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of income taxes (including uncertain tax positions) and certain other tangible assets and liabilities. The allocation of the purchase price will be finalized upon the completion of the analysis of the acquired assets and liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2016.

The following table sets forth the components of the preliminary intangible assets associated with the acquisition as of June 30, 2016 (in millions, except years):

Trayport Acquisition
On December 11, 2015, we acquired 100% of Trayport in a stock transaction. The total purchase price was $620 million, comprised of 2.5 million shares of our common stock. Trayport is a software company that licenses its technology to serve exchanges, OTC brokers and traders to facilitate electronic and hybrid trade execution primarily in the energy markets. The Competition and Markets Authority in the U.K. is currently reviewing our acquisition of Trayport under the merger control laws of the U.K. During the pendency of the review, we have limited ability to integrate Trayport's operations in to our existing business operations and the review could force us to take actions that may result in us not realizing the benefits of the acquisition. The timing of a final decision is uncertain at this time.
The total purchase price was allocated to Trayport’s preliminary tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on the estimated fair values of those assets as of December 11, 2015, as set forth below. The excess of the purchase price over the preliminary net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded as goodwill and assigned to our data and listings reporting unit. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in millions):
Goodwill$388
Identifiable intangible assets274
Other assets and liabilities, net8
Deferred tax liabilities on identifiable intangible assets(50)
Total purchase price$620

In performing the preliminary purchase price allocation, we considered, among other factors, the intended future use of acquired assets, analysis of historical financial performance and estimates of future performance of Trayport's business. We have not yet obtained all of the information related to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities related to the acquisition to finalize the purchase price allocation.

We reclassified the net assets of Trayport, including the related goodwill and other intangible assets, to held for sale as of June 30, 2017 (Note 10).

dollar. The foreign currency translation decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily due to certain of our goodwill and intangible assets being recorded in pounds sterling, which decreased in value due to the weakening pound sterling exchange rate following the U.K. referendum vote in late June 2016 to leave the European Union.

The changes in other activity, net in the tables above primarily relate to adjustments to the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relating to the Interactive Data acquisition,acquisitions, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill (Note 3).goodwill.

Credit Facility
We have entered into a $3.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, with a maturity date of November 13, 2020. The Credit Facility includes an option for us to propose an increase in the aggregate amount available for borrowing by up to $1.0 billion, subject to the consent of the lenders funding the increase and certain other conditions. On November 13, 2015, we utilized this option to increase the amount of the Credit Facility to $3.4 billion. The commitments under the Credit Facility will automatically reduce to $2.95$3.2 billion on April 3, 2019. No amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016.2017.
Of the $3.4 billion that is currently available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, $1.8$1.2 billion is required to back-stop the amount outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program as of June 30, 2016.2017. The amount required to back-stop the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program will fluctuate as we increase or decrease our commercial paper borrowings. The remaining $1.6$2.2 billion available under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 20162017 is available to us to use for working capital and general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, acting as a back-stop to future increases in the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program.
364 Day Facility
In November 2015, we entered into a $500 million 364 day senior unsecured revolving credit facility,Program or to fund the 364 Day Facility. The amounts available underredemption of the 364 Day Facility are available for use by us for working capital and general corporate purposes, but specifically excluding any use to back-stop amounts issued under the Commercial Paper Program. The commitments under the 364 Day Credit Facility were reduced to $375 million on May 13, 2016 and will be automatically reduced to $250 million on August 13, 2016. No amounts were outstanding under the 364 Day Facility as of June 30, 2016.

NYSE Notes discussed below.
Commercial Paper Program
We have entered into a U.S. dollar commercial paper program, or the Commercial Paper Program. Our Commercial Paper Program is currently backed by the borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility, equal to the amount of the commercial paper that is issued and outstanding at any given point in time. The effective interest rate of commercial paper issuances does not materially differ from short term interest rates (such as USD LIBOR). The fluctuation of these rates due to market conditions may impact our interest expense.
Commercial paper notes of $1.8$1.2 billion with original maturities ranging from 13 to 8975 days were outstanding as of June 30, 20162017 under our Commercial Paper Program. As of June 30, 2016,2017, the weighted average interest rate on the $1.8$1.2 billion outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program was 0.54%1.16% per annum, with a weighted average maturity of 1821 days. We repaid $781$469 million of the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program during the six months ended June 30, 20162017 primarily using net cash proceeds received from the sale of our investment in Cetip (Note 11) and cash flows from operations and a portion of our unrestricted cash balances.
Senior Notes
On November 24, 2015, we issued $2.5 billion in aggregate senior notes, including $1.25 billion principal amount of 2.75% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due November 2020, or the 2020 Senior Notes, and $1.25 billion principal amount of 3.75% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due November 2025, or the 2025 Senior Notes. We used the net proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes offering, together with $1.6 billion of borrowings under our Commercial Paper Program, to finance the $4.1 billion cash portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of Interactive Data (Note 3).
In October 2013, we issued $600 million principal amount of 2.50% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due October 2018, or the 2018 Senior Notes, and $800 million principal amount of 4.00% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due October 2023, or the 2023 Senior Notes.operations.
NYSE Notes
In connection with our acquisition on November 13, 2013 of NYSE Euronext, which we refer to as NYSE following the initial public offering and sale of Euronext in 2014, we assumed NYSE's outstanding debt instruments, which includedThe $850 million, of 2.00% senior unsecured fixed rate notesNYSE Notes are due in October 2017, or2017. We currently plan to fund the NYSE USD Notes, and €920 million ($1.1 billion) of 5.375% senior unsecured fixed rate notes that were due in June 2015, or the NYSE EUR Notes, and together with the NYSE USD Notes, the NYSE Notes. On June 30, 2015, we repaid the NYSE EUR Notes using cash that had been set aside in July 2014 from the proceeds of the sale of Euronext.
During the six months and three months ended June 30, 2015, the amortization of the increase in the fair valueredemption of the NYSE Notes that was recorded in connection with the NYSE acquisition purchase accounting was $23 million and $11 million, respectively. No significant amortization expenses were recorded after the repaymentissuance of new senior term notes. However, if we are unable to issue new senior term notes or to do so on favorable terms, then we would fund the NYSE EUR Notes.Notes redemption under the Commercial Paper Program or with the unused amount available under the Credit Facility, or a combination of these sources.

7.Equity
We currently sponsor employee and director stock option and restricted stock plans. Stock options and restricted stock are granted at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors. All stock options and restricted stock awards are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value is based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options and restricted stock on the date of grant is recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The non-cash compensation expenses recognized in our consolidated statements of income for stock options and restricted stock were $60$68 million and $47$60 million for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and $31$34 million and $23$31 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and 2015 were $10$7 million and $14$10 million, respectively, and $7$4 million and $9$7 million for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. As of June 30, 2016,2017, there was $11were $12 million in total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years as the stock options vest.
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model for purposes of valuing stock option awards. During the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, we used the weighted-average assumptions in the table below to compute the value of all options for shares of common stock granted to employees:
Six Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,

The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life computation is derived from historical exercise patterns and anticipated future patterns. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our stock.
Restricted Stock Plans
In January 2016,2017, we reserved a maximum of 330,9241,534,218 restricted shares for potential issuance as performance-based restricted shares to certain of our employees. The number of shares that will ultimately be granted under the performance awardsthis award will be based on our actual financial performance as compared to financial performance targets set by our board of directors and compensation committee for the year ending December 31, 2016.2017, as well as our 2017 total shareholder return as compared to that of the S&P 500 Index. The maximum compensation expense to be recognized under these performance-based restricted shares is $80$85 million if the maximum financial performance target is met and all 330,9241,534,218 shares vest. The compensation expense to be recognized under these performance-based restricted shares will be $39$42 million if the target financial performance is met, which would result in 165,462767,109 shares vesting. These restricted shares are also subject to a market condition that could reduce the number of shares that are ultimately granted. We will recognize expense on an accelerated basis over the three-year vesting period based on our quarterly assessment of the probable 20162017 actual financial performance as compared to the 20162017 financial performance targets. As of June 30, 2016,2017, we determined that it is probable that the financial performance level will be at target for 2016.2017. Based on this assessment, we recorded non-cash compensation expense of $11$12 million and $6$7 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, respectively, related to these shares and the remaining $28$30 million in non-cash compensation expense will be recorded on an accelerated basis over the remaining vesting period, including $13 million of which will be recorded over the remainder of 2016.2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, the total fair value of restricted stock vested under all restricted stock plans was $203 million and $112 million, and $86 million, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
During 2015,In August 2016, our board of directors approved an aggregate of $1.0 billion for future repurchases of our common stock with no fixed expiration date, subject to applicable laws and regulations. The shares repurchased are held in treasury stock. As of June 30, 2017, the remaining board authorization permits repurchases were completedof up to $481 million of our common stock. We expect funding for any share repurchases to come from our operating cash flow or borrowings under stock repurchaseour debt facilities or commercial paper program. Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market, through established trading plans, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. We have entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, as authorized by our board of directors. In connection with our acquisitiondirectors, to govern some or all of Interactive Data during the fourth quarter of 2015, we suspended our stock repurchase plan and that plan has now expired. We did not repurchase anyrepurchases of our outstandingshares of common stock, duringand we began to repurchase shares in October 2016. We may discontinue the stock repurchases at any time and may amend or terminate the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan at any time. The approval of our board of directors for the share repurchases does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. In addition, our board of directors may increase or decrease the amount of capacity we have for repurchases from time to time.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016.2017, we repurchased 7,827,513 shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $469 million. These repurchases were completed on the open market and under our 10b5-1 trading plan. The timing and extent of future repurchases if any, that are not made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan will be at our discretion and will depend upon many conditions. Our management and board of directors periodically reviewreviews whether or not to be active in repurchasing our stock. In making a determination regarding any stock repurchases, we consider multiple factors. The factors may include: overall stock market conditions, our common stock price movements, the remaining amount authorized for repurchases by our board of directors, the potential impact of a stock repurchase program on our corporate debt ratings, our expected free cash flow and working capital needs, our current and future planned strategic growth initiatives, and other potential uses of our cash and capital resources.
In AugustDividends
During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we paid cash dividends per share of $0.40 and $0.34, respectively, for an aggregate payout of $239 million and $205 million, respectively. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors, approved an aggregate of $1.0 billion for future repurchases of our common stock with no fixed expiration date, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market, through established plans, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with all applicable securities laws, rulesaffected by various factors, including our future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, levels of indebtedness, credit ratings and regulations. We plan to enter into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan in the future to govern the repurchase of our shares of common stock. Assuming we do begin to repurchase our shares of common stock in the future, we may discontinue the stock repurchases at any time and may terminate the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The approval for the share repurchases does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. In addition,other considerations our board of directors may increasedeem relevant. Our board of directors has adopted a quarterly dividend declaration policy providing that the declaration of any dividends will be determined quarterly by the board or decreaseaudit committee of the amountboard of capacity we have for repurchases from time to time.directors taking into account such factors as our evolving business model, prevailing business conditions and our financial results and capital requirements, without a predetermined annual net income payout ratio.

8.Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 30%27% and 27%30% for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and 30%25% and 27%30% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015.respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months and three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 20152016 were lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to favorable foreign income tax rate differentials, partially offset by state income taxes. The favorableFavorable foreign income tax rate differential resultsdifferentials result primarily from lower income tax rates in the U.K. and various other lower tax jurisdictions as compared to the income tax rates in the U.S. The effective tax rates for the six months and three months ended June 30, 20162017 are higherlower than the effective tax raterates for the comparable periods in 20152016 primarily due to tax benefits associated with a mix of foreign versus U.S. based income and an increase to deferred income taxes in the current year, partially offset by the tax benefit from the early adoption of ASU 2016-09 (Note 2).divestiture.  
Our non-U.S. subsidiaries had $3.3$4.1 billion in cumulative undistributed earnings as of June 30, 2016.2017. This amount represents the post-income tax earnings under U.S. GAAP adjusted for previously taxed income. The earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, a determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability is not practicable. Any future distribution by way of dividend of these non-U.S. earnings may subject us to both U.S. federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for non-U.S. tax credits, and withholding taxes payable to various non-U.S. countries.

9.Clearing Organizations
We operate regulated central counterparty clearing houses for the settlement and clearance of derivative contracts. The clearing houses include ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Credit, ICE Clear U.S.,US, ICE Clear Canada, ICE Clear Netherlands and ICE Clear Singapore (referred to herein collectively as the “ICE Clearing Houses”).

ICE Clear Europe performs the clearing and settlement for all futures and options contracts traded through ICE Futures Europe and ICE Endex, for CDS contracts submitted for clearing in Europe, and for energy futures and options contracts trading through ICE Futures U.S., and for CDS contracts submitted for clearing in Europe.
ICE Clear Credit performs the clearing and settlement for CDS contracts submitted for clearing in North America.
ICE Clear U.S.US performs the clearing and settlement of agricultural, metals, currencies and financial futures and options contracts traded through ICE Futures U.S.
ICE Clear Canada performs the clearing and settlement for all futures and options contracts traded through ICE Futures Canada.
ICE Clear Netherlands offersis preparing to provide clearing for The Order Machine, a multi-lateral trading facility for equity options.services to Euronext, which are expected to commence during the second half of 2018.
ICE Clear Singapore performs the clearing and settlement for all futures and options contracts traded through ICE Futures Singapore.

Each of the ICE Clearing Houses requires all clearing members to maintain cash on deposit or pledge certain assets, which may include government obligations, non-government obligations letters of credit or gold to guarantee performance of the clearing members’ open positions. Such amounts in total are known as “original margin”. The ICE Clearing Houses may make intraday original margin calls in circumstances where market conditions require additional protection. The daily profits and losses from and to the ICE Clearing Houses due to the marking-to-market of open contracts isare known as “variation margin”. The ICE Clearing Houses mark all outstanding contracts to market, and therefore pay and collect variation margin, at least once daily, and in some cases multiple times throughout the day. Marking-to-market allows the ICE Clearing Houses to identify any clearing members that may be unable to satisfy the financial obligations resulting from changes in the prices of their open contracts before those financial obligations become exceptionally large and jeopardize the ability of the ICE Clearing Houses to ensure financial performance of clearing members’ open positions.
Each of the ICE Clearing Houses requires that each clearing member make deposits into a fund known as a “guaranty fund”, which is maintained by the relevant ICE Clearing House. These amounts serve to secure the obligations of a clearing member to the ICE Clearing House to which it has made the guaranty fund deposit and may be used to cover losses sustained by the respective ICE Clearing House in the event of a default of a clearing member.
The ICE Clearing Houses seek to reduce their exposure through a risk management program that includes initial and ongoing financial standards for clearing member admission and continued membership, original and variation margin requirements, and mandatory deposits to the guaranty fund. The amounts that the clearing members are required to maintain in the original margin and guaranty fund accounts are determined by standardized parameters established by the risk management departments and reviewed by the risk committees and the boards of directors of each of the ICE Clearing Houses and may fluctuate over time. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the ICE Clearing Houses have received or have been pledged $89.1$96.4 billion and $87.2$95.7 billion, respectively, in cash and non-cash collateral in original margin and guaranty fund deposits to cover price movements of underlying contracts for both periods. The ICE Clearing Houses also have powers of assessment that provide the ability to collect additional funds from their clearing members to cover a defaulting member’s remaining obligations up to the limits established under the respective rules of each ICE Clearing House.
Should a particular clearing member fail to deposit original margin, or fail to make a variation margin payment, when and as required, the relevant ICE Clearing House may liquidate or hedge the clearing member’s open positions and use the clearing member’s original margin and guaranty fund deposits to make up any amount owed. In the event that those deposits are not sufficient to pay the amount owed in full, the ICE Clearing Houses may utilize the respective guaranty fund deposits of their respective clearing members on a pro-rata basis for that purpose.
We have contributed $150 million, $50 million and $50 million in cash to the ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear U.S.US guaranty funds, respectively, as of June 30, 2016,2017, and such amounts are at risk and could be used in the event of a clearing member default where the amount of the defaulting clearing member’s original margin and guaranty fund deposits are insufficient. We have also contributed $4 million in cash in total to the ICE Clear Canada, ICE Clear Netherlands and ICE Clear Singapore guaranty funds. The $250$254 million combined contributions to the guaranty funds as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 are included in long-term restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

We have recorded these cash deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as current assets with corresponding current liabilities to the clearing members of the relevant ICE Clearing House. All cash securities and letters of creditsecurities are available only to meet the financial obligations of that clearing member to the relevant ICE Clearing House. ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Credit, ICE Clear U.S.,US, ICE Clear Canada, ICE Clear Netherlands and ICE Clear Singapore are separate legal entities and are not subject to the liabilities of the other ICE Clearing Houses or the obligations of the members of the other ICE Clearing Houses. The

amount of these cash deposits may fluctuate due to the types of margin collateral choices available to clearing members and the change in the amount of deposits required. As a result, these assets and corresponding liabilities may vary significantly over time.
Except with respect to ICE Clear Credit, the majority ofOf the cash held by the ICE Clearing Houses, as of June 30, 2017, $30.6 billion is secured in reverse repurchase agreements with primarily overnight maturities or direct investment in U.S. government securities. ICE Clear Credit, has been designated as a systemically important financial market utility as designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council, and has been authorized to establish and maintain a cash account at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. ICE Clear Credit held $7.3$19.4 billion of its U.S. dollar cash in the guaranty fund and in original margin in the cash accountaccounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago as of June 30, 2016.2017. The remaining cash deposits at the ICE Clearing Houses are held in demand deposit accounts at large, highly rated financial institutions and directly in U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of less than 12 months. The carrying value of these securities approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and repurchase agreements.
In addition to the cash deposits for original margin and the guaranty fund, the ICE Clearing Houses have also received other assets from clearing members, which may include government obligations, and may include other non-cash collateral such as certain agency and corporate debt letters of credit or gold to mitigate credit risk. These assets are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the risks and rewards of these assets remain with the clearing members unless the ICE Clearing Houses have sold or re-pledged the assets or in the event of a clearing member default, where the clearing member is no longer entitled to redeem the assets. Any income, gain or loss accrues to the clearing member. For certain non-cash deposits, the ICE Clearing Houses may impose discount or “haircut” rates to ensure adequate collateral levels to account for fluctuations in the market value of these deposits. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the assets pledged by the clearing members as original margin and guaranty fund deposits for each of the ICE Clearing Houses are detailed below (in millions):

10.Held for Sale
On December 11, 2015, we acquired 100% of Trayport in a stock transaction. The total purchase price was $620 million, comprised of 12.6 million shares of our common stock. Trayport is a software company that licenses its technology to serve exchanges, OTC brokers and traders to facilitate electronic and hybrid trade execution primarily in the energy markets.

The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority, or the CMA, undertook a review of our acquisition of Trayport under the merger control laws of the U.K. In October 2016, the CMA issued its findings and ordered a divestment of Trayport to remedy what the CMA determined to be a substantial lessening of competition. In November 2016, we filed an appeal with the Competition Appeal Tribunal, or the CAT, to challenge the CMA’s decision. In March 2017, the CAT upheld the CMA decision that we should divest Trayport. Following the CAT’s judgment, we asked for leave to appeal the CAT’s decision at the U.K. Court of Appeals. In May 2017, the U.K. Court of Appeals denied our request for leave to appeal. We are now obligated to sell Trayport.
The functional currency of Trayport is the pound sterling, as this is the currency in which Trayport operates. The $620 million in Trayport net assets were recorded on our December 11, 2015 opening balance sheet at a pound sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.5218 (£407 million). Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate the Trayport net assets into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar against the pound sterling will affect the value of the Trayport balance sheet, with gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, a component of equity. As a result of the decrease in the pounds sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate to 1.3025 as of June 30, 2017, the portion of our equity attributable to the Trayport net assets in accumulated other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation was $89 million as of June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017, we have classified Trayport as held for sale and ceased depreciation and amortization of the property and equipment and other intangible assets (Note 2). Upon classification of Trayport as held for sale, we have determined that the adjusted carrying value of Trayport’s net assets as of June 30, 2017 of $610 million, which is equal to the $521 million carrying value plus the $89 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation, is lower than the estimated fair value of Trayport, less the costs to dispose of the business. We will continue to evaluate the fair value of Trayport until it is sold, including reviewing the bids received for Trayport; its operating performance; its financial projections; changes in the business and regulatory climate in which it operates; the volatility in the capital markets; and the volatility in the pound sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate. Any changes in these factors could result in adjustments to Trayport’s fair value.
Trayport is included in our data and listings segment. The total assets held for sale as of June 30, 2017 were $578 million and were reclassified and are included in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the total liabilities held for sale as of June 30, 2017 were $57 million and were reclassified and are included in “other current liabilities” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities of Trayport are as follows as of June 30, 2017 (in millions):

11.Fair Value Measurements
Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments, short-term and long-term investments, customer accounts receivable, margin deposits and guaranty funds, cost and equity method investments, short-term and long-term debt and certain other short-term assets and liabilities. The fair value of our financial instruments are measured based on a three-level hierarchy:
Level 1 inputs — quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 inputs — observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly observable.
Level 3 inputs — unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
In general, we
We use Level 1 inputs to determine fair value. The Level 1 assets consist of U.S. Treasury securities, equity and other securities listed in active markets, and investments in publicly traded mutual funds held for the purpose of providing future payments of the supplemental executive retirement and the supplemental executive savings plans.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 are as follows (in millions):

As of June 30, 2016,2017, the fair value of our $1.24 billion 2020 Senior Notes was $1.30$1.27 billion, the fair value of our $1.24 billion 2025 Senior Notes was $1.35$1.31 billion, the fair value of our $852$850 million NYSE USD Notes was $860$850 million, the fair value of our $789$791 million 2023 Senior Notes was $865$841 million, and the fair value of our $597$598 million 2018 Senior Notes was $615$606 million. The fair values of these fixed rate notes were estimated using quoted market prices for these instruments. The fair value of our commercial paper approximates the carrying value since the rates of interest on this short-term debt approximate market rates as of June 30, 20162017. All other financial instruments are determined to approximate carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities.
The long-term investment in equity securities represents our investmentUntil March 29, 2017, we held a 12% ownership interest in Cetip, S.A., or Cetip, which is recordedwe classified as an available-for-sale investment, and is recorded and held in Brazilian reais.long-term investment. Cetip was valuedrecorded at $427 million as of June 30, 2016,its fair value using its quoted market price. Changes in the fair value of the Cetip investmentavailable-for-sale securities are currently reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, (loss) and do not impact earnings, except toinclude the extent thateffects of both stock price and foreign currency translation fluctuations. The unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value deemed to be other than temporary (Note 2). Asother-than-temporary, are recognized in earnings.
We acquired the common stock of June 30,Cetip for an aggregate consideration of $514 million in cash in July 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized an impairment loss on our Cetip investment of $190 million, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rate changes, which was equal to the difference between the $324 million fair value as of December 31, 2013 and the original investment cost of $514 million. The $324 million fair value of the Cetip investment as of December 31, 2013 became our new cost basis. The long-term investment in equity securities as of December 31, 2016 represents our investment in Cetip, which was valued at $432 million, including a $108 million accumulated unrealized gain.
On March 29, 2017, Cetip and BM&FBOVESPA S.A. finalized a merger agreement. BM&FBOVESPA S.A., which changed its name to B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcao, or B3, following the merger with Cetip, is a stock exchange and operator of registration, clearing, custodial and settlement services for equities, financial securities, indices, rates, commodities and currencies and is located in São Paulo, Brazil. The merger valued our Cetip investment at $500 million. We received the proceeds in cash and in B3 common stock.
The cash component was valued at $319 million, which was subject to Brazilian capital gains tax of $28 million that was remitted to the Brazilian tax authorities in March 2017. We received net cash proceeds in April 2017 of $286 million, which is net of a foreign exchange loss of $6 million that was incurred in April 2017. We received 29,623,756 B3 common shares valued at their quoted market price of $181 million. In April 2017, we hadsold the B3 common shares for net proceeds of $152 million, which is net of a capital gain tax of $26 million that was remitted to the Brazilian tax authorities and further transaction expenses of $3 million that were incurred in April 2017. We used the $438 million in net cash and stock proceeds received from the merger and sale of B3 shares to pay down amounts outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program and for share repurchases.
The $500 million fair value of our investment in Cetip included an accumulated unrealized gain related to this investment of $103 million.
In April 2016, Cetip and BM&FBOVESPA in Brazil entered into a merger agreement. Consummation of the merger remains subject to approval by the regulatory bodies of the Central Bank of Brazil, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil and Brazil’s Council for Economic Defense. The proposed merger values Cetip at R$43.79 per share based upon the June 30, 2016 BM&FBOVESPA closing stock price. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Cetip shareholders will receive a combination of cash (75%) and BM&FBOVESPA stock (25%). Given that a portion of the purchase price consists of BM&FBOVESPA stock, the merger agreement includes an adjustment mechanism that provides for a stock valuation$176 million, based on the BMF&BOVESPA average trading price during$324 million cost basis. In connection with the sale of our equity investment in Cetip, the $176 million, accumulated unrealized gain was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and was recognized in other income as a realized investment gain in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, trading days preceding the last required regulatory approval, with a minimum stock valuation of R$42.00 per share and a maximum stock valuation of R$48.51 per share.  2017.
As of June 30, 2016,2017, we held $503$469 million in U.S. Treasury securities, all of which had remaining maturities of less than one year at the date of purchase.securities. Of these securities, $33 million were recorded as cash and cash equivalents, $320$319 million were recorded as short-term restricted cash and investments and $150 million were recorded as long-term restricted cash and investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. All of2017. We account for the U.S. Treasury securities recordedheld using the available-for-sale method.

Mutual funds represent equity and fixed income mutual funds held for the purpose of providing future payments for the supplemental executive savings plan and the supplemental executive retirement plan and are classified as cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of less than 90 days.available-for-sale securities.
We did not use Level 2 and 3 inputs to determine the fair value of assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 20162017 or December 31, 2015.2016. We measure certain assets, such as intangible assets and cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value if they are deemed to be impaired. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, none of these assets were required to be recorded at fair value since no impairment indicators were present.

12.13.Segment Reporting

We operated as a single reportable business segment as of December 31, 2015 but began operating as two operating segments in the first quarter of 2016 following our acquisition of Interactive Data. As of June 30, 2016, we continue to operate as two business segments: our Trading and Clearing segment and our Data and Listings segment. This presentation is reflective of how our chief operating decision maker reviews and operates our business. Our Trading and Clearing segment comprises our transaction-based execution and clearing businesses. Our Data and Listings segment comprises our subscription-based data services and securities listings businesses. Our chief operating decision maker does not review total assets, intersegment revenues/expenses or statements of income below operating income by segments; therefore, such information is not presented below. Financial data for our business segments is as follows for the six months and three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 20152016 (in millions):

Revenue from onetwo clearing membermembers of theour Trading and Clearing segment comprised 10% of our Trading and Clearing revenues for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2017 and revenue from one clearing members of our Trading and Clearing segment comprised 10% of our Trading and Clearing revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Clearing members are primarily intermediaries and represent a broad range of principal trading firms. If a clearing member ceased its operations, we believe that the trading firms would continue to conduct transactions and would clear those transactions through another clearing member firm. No additional customers or clearing members accounted for more than 10% of our segment revenues or consolidated revenues for the six months and three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015.2016.

Basic earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average common shares outstanding increased for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016, over the prior year period, primarily due to stock issued for the Interactive Data and Trayport acquisitions in December 2015, partially offset by stock repurchases during 2015. We issued 6.5 million shares of our common stock to Interactive Data stockholders and 2.5 million shares of our common stock to Trayport stockholders, weighted to show these additional shares outstanding for periods after the respective acquisition dates (Note 3).
Common equivalent shares from stock options and restricted stock awards, using the treasury stock method, are included in the diluted per share calculations unless the effect of their inclusion would be antidilutive. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 726,696 and 2015, 150,323 and 190,000751,615 outstanding stock options, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share since the inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect because the outstanding stock option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the relevant periods. Certain figures in the table above may not recalculate due to rounding.

14.15.Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events and determined that no events or transactions met the definition of a subsequent event for purposes of recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Recent Developments
Completed AcquisitionsPending Divestiture of Trayport and InvestmentsIts Classification as Held for Sale
On December 14, 2015, we acquired 100% of Interactive Data in a stock and cash transaction. The total purchase price was $5.6 billion comprised of cash consideration of $4.1 billion and 6.5 million shares of our common stock, and their results are included in our consolidated results effective from the acquisition date. Interactive Data is a leading provider of financial market data, analytics and related data solutions. On December 11, 2015, we acquired 100% of Trayport in a stock transaction. The total purchase price was $620 million, comprised of 2.512.6 million shares of our common stock, and their results are included in our consolidated results effective from the acquisition date.stock. Trayport is a software company that licenses its technology to serve exchanges, OTC brokers and traders to facilitate electronic and hybrid trade execution primarily in the energy markets.
The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority, inor the U.K. is currently reviewingCMA, undertook a review of our acquisition of Trayport under the merger control laws of the U.K. DuringIn October 2016, the pendencyCMA issued its findings and ordered a divestment of Trayport to remedy what the CMA determined to be a substantial lessening of competition. In November 2016, we filed an appeal with the Competition Appeal Tribunal, or the CAT, to challenge the CMA’s decision. In March 2017, the CAT upheld the CMA decision that we should divest Trayport. Following the CAT’s judgment, we asked for leave to appeal the CAT’s decision at the U.K. Court of Appeals. In May 2017, the U.K. Court of Appeals denied our request for leave to appeal. We are now obligated to sell Trayport.
The functional currency of Trayport is the pound sterling, as this is the currency in which Trayport operates. The $620 million in Trayport net assets were recorded on our December 11, 2015 opening balance sheet at a pound sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.5218 (£407 million). Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate the Trayport net assets into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value of the review,U.S. dollar against the pound sterling will affect the value of the Trayport balance sheet, with gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, a component of equity. As a result of the decrease in the pounds sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate to 1.3025 as of June 30, 2017, the portion of our equity attributable to the Trayport net assets in accumulated other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation was $89 million as of June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017, we have limited abilityclassified Trayport as held for sale and ceased depreciation and amortization of the property and equipment and other intangible assets. Upon classification of Trayport as held for sale, we have determined that the adjusted carrying value of Trayport’s net assets as of June 30, 2017 of $610 million, which is equal to integrate Trayport's operationsthe $521 million carrying value plus the $89 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation, is lower than the estimated fair value of Trayport, less the costs to our existingdispose of the business. We will continue to evaluate the fair value of Trayport until it is sold, including reviewing the bids received for Trayport; its operating performance; its financial projections; changes in the business operationsand regulatory climate in which it operates; the volatility in the capital markets; and the reviewvolatility in the pound sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate. Any changes in these factors could force us to take actions that may result in us not realizingadjustments to Trayport’s fair value.
Trayport is included in our data and listings segment. The total assets held for sale as of June 30, 2017 were $578 million and were reclassified and are included in “prepaid expenses and other current assets” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the benefitstotal liabilities held for sale as of the acquisition. The timing of a final decision is uncertain at this time.June 30, 2017 were $57 million and were reclassified and are included in “other current liabilities” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Refer to note 310 to our consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, on Form 10-Q, for more information on the pending divestiture of Trayport and its classification as held for sale.
Purchase of Minority Interests
During June 2017, we purchased both Gasunie’s 21% minority ownership interest in ICE Endex and ABN AMRO Clearing Bank N.V.’s 25% minority ownership interest in ICE Clear Netherlands. Subsequent to these acquisitions.acquisitions, we own 100% of ICE Endex and ICE Clear Netherlands and will no longer include any non-controlling interest amounts for ICE Endex and ICE Clear Netherlands in our consolidated financial statements. During April 2017, we purchased 3.2% of the net profit sharing interest in our CDS clearing subsidiaries from a non-ICE limited partner and the remaining non-ICE limited partners hold a 39.3% net profit sharing interest as of June 30, 2017. See “- Consolidated Non-Operating Income (Expense)” below.
NYSE Governance Services Divestiture
On June 30, 2016,1, 2017, we acquiredsold NYSE Governance Services to Marlin Heritage, L.P. NYSE Governance Services provides governance and compliance analytics and education solutions for organizations and their boards through dynamic learning solutions. We recognized a majority equity position in MERSCORP Holdings, Inc., ownernet loss of Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems, Inc., or collectively "MERS". MERS is a privately held, member-based organization that owns and manages$6 million on the MERS® System and is made upsale of thousands of lenders, servicers, sub-servicers, investors and government institutions. In addition, we have entered into a software development agreement to rebuild the MERS® System to benefit the U.S. residential mortgage finance market. The MERS® System is a national electronic registry that tracks the changes in servicing rights and beneficial ownership interests in U.S.-based mortgage loans. This new infrastructure is expected to shift its operation to an ICE data center in the first half of 2018.
The terms of the MERS acquisition include a right for us to purchase all, but not less than, the remaining equity interests of MERS after we satisfy our deliverables under the software development agreement. In addition, the MERS equityholders may exercise a put option to require us to purchase all of the remaining equity interests of MERS. Each of these terms is subject to certain price provisions. Because we do not have the ability to control MERS' operations, we have recorded the purchase as an equity method investment and our ratable share of net income (loss) in MERS in future periods will beNYSE Governance Services, which was recorded in ourdepreciation and amortization expenses in the consolidated statements of income for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2017.

Pending Acquisition of Global Research Divisions Index Platform from Bank of America Merrill Lynch
On June 1, 2017, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire the Global Research division’s index platform from Bank of America Merrill Lynch, or BofAML. The BofAML indices are the second largest group of fixed income indices as equity earningsmeasured by assets under management, or AUM, globally. Upon closing, the AUM benchmarked against our combined fixed income indices will be nearly $1 trillion, and the indices will be re-branded as the ICE BofAML indices.
TMX Atrium Acquisition
On May 1, 2017, we acquired 100% of TMX Atrium, a global extranet and wireless services business, from TMX Group.

Cetip Investment Gain
Until March 29, 2017, we held a 12% ownership interest in Cetip, S.A., or Cetip, which we classified as an available-for-sale long-term investment. On March 29, 2017, Cetip and BM&FBOVESPA S.A. finalized a merger agreement. BM&FBOVESPA S.A., which changed its name to B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcao, or B3, following the merger with Cetip, is a stock exchange and operator of registration, clearing, custodial and settlement services for equities, financial securities, indices, rates, commodities and currencies and is located in São Paulo, Brazil. The merger valued our Cetip investment at $500 million. We received the proceeds in cash and in B3 common stock.
The cash component was valued at $319 million, which was subject to Brazilian capital gains tax of $28 million that was remitted to the Brazilian tax authorities in March 2017. We received net cash proceeds in April 2017 of $286 million, which is net of a foreign exchange loss of $6 million that was incurred in April 2017. We received 29,623,756 B3 common shares valued at their quoted market price of $181 million. In April 2017, we sold the B3 common shares for net proceeds of $152 million, which is net of a capital gain tax of $26 million that was remitted to the Brazilian tax authorities and further transaction expenses of $3 million that were incurred in April 2017. We used the $438 million in net cash and stock proceeds received from the merger and sale of B3 shares to pay down amounts outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program and for share repurchases.
The $500 million fair value of our unconsolidated subsidiaries, below operatinginvestment in Cetip included an accumulated unrealized gain of $176 million, based on the $324 million cost basis. In connection with the sale of our equity investment in Cetip, the $176 million accumulated unrealized gain was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and was recognized in other income (loss).as a realized investment gain in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The acquisition gives the NYSE Group a provider of fixed income evaluated pricing,fourth U.S. exchange license.

Regulation
Our markets are primarily subject to the jurisdiction of regulatory agencies in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Singapore and the European Union.Union, or EU. Global policy makers have undertaken reviews of their existing legal framework governing financial markets in connection with regulatory reform, and have either passed new laws and regulations, or are in the process of debating and/or enacting new laws and regulations that apply to our business and to our customers’ businesses. Legislative and regulatory actions may impact the way in which we or our customers conduct business and may create uncertainty, which could affect trading volumes or demand for market data. As discussed in Item 1 “Business - Regulation” included in our 20152016 Form 10-K, the implementation of Markets in Financial Instruments Directives II, or MiFID II, and its counterpart the European Market Infrastructure Regulation, or EMIR, may result in operational, regulatory and/or business risk. In June 2016,
Most of the specific regulations which support the MiFID II framework have now been approved by the European Union approved plansParliament and European Council. The European Securities and Markets Authority, or ESMA, and the national regulatory authorities are continuing to work on detailed aspects of the framework which are relevant to the markets operated by ICE Futures Europe and ICE Endex, including position limits and the determination of pre-trade and post-trade price transparency parameters for a twelve-month postponement of MiFID II implementation and compliance to January 1, 2018.

financial instruments. 
In March 2016, the European Commission adopted a decision relating to U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, regulatory equivalence and margin treatment for clearing houses. The equivalence decision allows European clearing houses to margin customers at a one day gross margin period of risk (equivalent to the U.S. rules for clearing houses) and, with respect to CFTC regulated products, requires U.S. clearing houses to margin proprietary positions at a two day net margin period of risk (equivalent to the European rules for clearing houses). U.S. clearing houses are also required to demonstrate implementation of specific anti-procyclicality measures, equivalent to European regulatory standards. The equivalence decision exempts U.S. agricultural products (including ICE Futures U.S.’s coffee, cocoa, cotton and sugar contracts) from these changes. Upon recognition under the equivalence decision, European customers will be able to continue to access our CFTC regulated U.S. clearing houses with respect to CFTC regulated products. Similarly, ICE Clear Europe will be able to margin customers in a manner similar to U.S. clearing houses.
In June 2016, the European Union granted recognition to U.S. regulated exchanges, including ICE Futures U.S. With recognition, a futures transaction on a U.S. exchange is treated similar to a futures transaction on any European exchange.
In June 2016,2017, the U.K. voted to leave the European Union. It will remain in the European Union until the withdrawal process has been negotiated and concluded. That process will commence once the U.K. government invokesofficially triggered Article 50 and notified the EU of its intention of leaving the Lisbon Treaty. After invokingEU. The triggering of Article 50 begins the Lisbon Treaty envisions a periodprocess of up towithdrawal from the EU, which will last two years for a Member Stateunless extended by the unanimous decision of member states. We are monitoring the impact to negotiate its withdrawal. All European Union laws and treaties will remain in effect as the U.K. negotiates its exit. The actual impact on our business relating toof the U.K. leaving the European UnionEU. The impact to our business and the corresponding regulatory changes are uncertain at this time, and may not be known in the near future.
Proposed Future Stock SplitIn 2017, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, announced its new agenda calling for regulatory simplification and the reduction of regulatory burdens. The CFTC is looking to restructure its rules by moving away from prescriptive regulations and adopting a principles-based approach. The restructuring of regulations could apply to our business and to our customers’ businesses. Any impacts are uncertain at this time, and may not be known in the near future.
In August 2016, our boardJune 2017, the European Commission published a proposal to regulate non-EU clearing houses that conduct business in the EU. The nature and extent of directors approved pursuingthe regulation would depend on the “impact” of a non-EU clearing house’s business in the EU. The publication discusses a “sliding scale” of regulation that includes: continued implementation of the existing EMIR equivalence and recognition regime for low impact non-EU clearing houses; direct regulatory oversight for medium impact non-EU clearing houses; and, with respect to systemically important, high impact, non-EU clearing houses, an effective 5-for-1 splitundefined “location” requirement. Details on the classification of ICE’s common stock thatnon-EU clearing will be distributedestablished by the European Commission in cooperation with ESMA and the formEuropean System of a four share stock dividend per share of common stock,Central Banks. The proposal will undergo legislative review by the European Parliament and the EU Member States, and is subject to both SEC and stockholder approval ofchange. The proposal could have an amendment and restatement toimpact on our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock and capital stock.

Revenues, less transaction-based expenses, increased $636$59 million and $332$49 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2015, primarily due to our acquisitions of Interactive Data and Trayport, and to a lesser extent, revenue increases in our exchange-related data services, cash equities, Brent crude and agricultural transaction and clearing. We recognized $525 million and $265 million in Interactive Data and Trayport data services revenues for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.2016. See “- Trading and Clearing Segment” and “Data and Listings Segment” below. Partially offsettingbelow for a discussion of the revenue increases werechanges in our revenues. The increase in revenues includes $37 million and $16 million in unfavorable foreign exchange effects of $15 million and $6 million arising from the strengthening U.S. dollar (primarily impacting revenues billed in pounds sterling) for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2015.2016. See Item 3 “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk” below for additional information on the impact of

currency fluctuations. Excluding the $37 million and $16 million in unfavorable foreign exchange effects, our revenues, less transaction-based expenses, would have been $2.4 billion and $1.2 billion for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, an increase of 4% and 6%, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2016.
Operating expenses increased $393$3 million and $211decreased $9 million for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, respectively, from the comparable periods in 2015, primarily2016.

Variability in Quarterly Comparisons
The business environments in which we operate directly affect our results of operations. Our results have been and will continue to be affected by many factors, including, without limitation, market volatility and the level of trading activity in our markets, which during any period is significantly influenced by general market conditions; legislative and regulatory changes, as well as our fulfillment of our regulatory obligations; competition; demand for our market data services and our market share; our system reliability; our ability to offer new products; our acquisition activities and the pace of industry consolidation; broad trends in the data and finance industry; the number and financial health of companies listed on our cash markets; geopolitical events; real and perceived supply and demand imbalances; changing technology in the financial services industry; and our reputation, among other factors. In particular, in recent years, theour business environment has been characterized by industry consolidation and increasing competition among global markets for trading, volumesclearing and listings; the globalization of exchanges, customers and competitors; market participants’ rising demand for speed capacity and reliability,data capacity, which requires continuingongoing investment in technology; evolving and disparate regulation across multiple jurisdictions; and increasing competition for market data services. focus on capital and cost efficiencies.

Changes in these and other factors could cause our revenues to fluctuate from period to period and these fluctuations may affect the reliability of period to period comparisons of our revenues and operating results. For additional information regarding the factors that affect our results of operations, see Item 1(A) “Risk Factors” included in our 20152016 Form 10-K.
Segment Reporting
We operated as a single reportable business segment as of December 31, 2015 but began operating as two operating segments in the first quarter of 2016 following our acquisition of Interactive Data. As of June 30, 2016, we continue to operate as two business segments: our Trading and Clearing segment and our Data and Listings segment. This presentation is reflective of how our chief operating decision maker reviews and operates our business. Our Trading and Clearing segment comprises our transaction-based execution and clearing businesses. Our Data and Listings segment comprises our subscription-based data services and securities listings businesses. Our chief operating decision maker does not review total assets, intersegment revenues/expenses or statements of income below operating income by segments; therefore, such information is not presented below.
While revenues are allocated directly to segments, a significant portion of our operating expenses are not solely related to a specific segment because the expenses serve functions that are necessary for the operation of both segments. Because these expenses do not relate to a single segment, we have employed a reasonable allocation method to allocate expenses between the segments for presentation purposes. We have elected to use a pro-rata revenue approach as the allocation method for the expenses that do not relate

solely to one segment. Further, precise allocation of expenses to specific revenue streams within these segments is not reasonably possible. Accordingly, we did not allocate expenses to specific revenue streams within the segments.

Transaction and Clearing Revenues
Overview
Our transaction and clearing revenues are reported on a net basis, except for the NYSE-relatedNYSE transaction-based expenses discussed below, and consist of fees collected from our derivatives, trading and clearing, and from our cash tradingequities and equity options exchanges.trading and derivatives clearing. In our derivatives markets, we earn transaction and clearing revenues from both counterparties to each contract that is traded and/or cleared, and in our equity and equity options markets, we receive trade execution fees as well as routing fees related to orders in our markets which are routed to other markets for execution.
RevenuesRates per-contract are driven by the number of contracts or securities traded and the fees charged per contract, net of certain rebates. Our per-contract transaction and clearing revenues will depend upon many factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, transaction and clearing volume, product mix, pricing, applicable revenue sharing and market making agreements, and new product introductions. Because transaction and clearing revenues are generally assessed on a per-contract basis, revenues and profitability fluctuate with changes in contract volume butand, though not to the same degree, due to product mix.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 20% and 21%, respectively, of our Trading and Clearing segment revenues, less transaction-based expenses, were billed in pounds sterling or euros and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 19% and 20%, respectively, were billed in pounds sterling or euros. As the pound sterling or euro exchange rate changes, the U.S. equivalent of revenues denominated in foreign currencies changes accordingly. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar compared to the pound sterling and euro reduced our Trading and Clearing segment revenues, less transaction-based expenses, by $23 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from the comparable period in 2016 and by $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from the comparable period in 2016. See Item 3 “- Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk” below for additional information on the impact of currency fluctuations.

Our transaction and clearing revenues are presented net of rebates. We recorded rebates of $347$392 million and $271$347 million for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and $165$201 million and $130$165 million for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. We offer rebates in certain of our markets primarily to support market liquidity and trading volume by providing qualified participants in those markets a discount to the applicable commission rate.

volumes traded.

Transaction-Based Expenses
Our equities and equity options markets pay fees to the SEC pursuant to Section 31 of the Exchange Act. Section 31 fees collected from customers are recorded on a gross basis as a component of transaction and clearing fee revenue. These Section 31 fees are designed to recover the government'sgovernment’s costs of supervising and regulating the securities markets and securities professionals. We, in turn, collect activity assessment fees, which are included in transaction and clearing revenues in our consolidated statements of income, from member organizations clearing or settling trades on the equities and options exchanges and recognize these amounts when invoiced. The activity assessment fees are designed so that they are equal to the Section 31 fees whichthat are included in transaction-based expenses in our consolidated statements of income. As a result, activity assessment fees and the corresponding Section 31 fees do not have an impact on our net income. Activity assessment fees received are included in cash at the time of receipt and, as required by law, the amount due to the SEC is remitted semi-annually and recorded as an accrued liability until paid. As of June 30, 2016,2017, the accrued liability related to the un-remitted SEC Section 31 fees was $195$181 million.
We also incur liquidity payments made to cash and options trading customers and routing charges made to other exchanges that are included in transaction-based expenses. We incur routing charges when we do not have the best bid or offer in the market for a security that a customer is trying to buy or sell on one of our securities exchanges. In that case, we route the customer’s order to the external market center that displays the best bid or offer. The external market center charges us a fee per share (denominated in tenths

of a cent per share) for routing to its system. We record routing charges on a gross basis as a component of transaction and clearing fee revenue.

The favorableFavorable foreign income tax rate differential resultsdifferentials result primarily from lower tax rates in the U.K. and various other lower tax jurisdictions as compared to the tax rates in the U.S. The effective tax raterates for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016 is higher2017 are lower than the effective tax raterates for the comparable periods in 20152016 primarily due to tax benefits associated with a mix of foreign versus U.S. based income and an increase to deferred income taxes in the current year, partially offset by the tax benefit from the early adoption of ASU 2016-09.divestiture.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Below are charts that reflect our capital allocation. The acquisition and integration costs in the chart below includes the acquisition-related transaction and integration costs in each period (YTD represents the six-month periods ended June 30th):

We have financed our operations, growth and cash needs primarily through income from operations and borrowings under our various debt facilities. Our principal capital requirements have been to fund capital expenditures, working capital, strategic acquisitions and investments, stock repurchases, dividends to our shareholders and the continued development of our electronic trading and clearing platforms.technology platforms that support our businesses. We believe that our cash on hand and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to repay our outstanding debt as it matures. In the future, we may need to incur additional debt or issue additional equity securities, which we may be unable to do or to do on favorable terms. See “- Future Capital Requirements” below.
Our commercial paper program enables us to borrow efficiently at reasonable short term interest rates and provides us with the flexibility to de-lever using our strong annual cash flows from operating activities whenever our leverage becomes elevated as a result of investment or acquisition activities. We reduced our outstanding commercial paper during the six months ended June 30, 20162017 by $781$469 million enabled by strongprimarily using net cash proceeds received from the sale of our investment in Cetip and cash flows which include annual listings billings during the first quarter of 2016, and a reduction in our unrestricted cash balance from year end.operations. See “- Recent Developments - Cetip Investment Gain” above.
Upon maturity of old issuances of commercial paper and to the extent old issuances are not repaid by cash on hand, we are exposed to the rollover risk of not being able to issue new commercial paper. To mitigate the rollover risk, we maintain an undrawn back-stop bank revolving credit facility for an aggregate amount equaling at any time the amount issued under our commercial paper program. If we were not able to issue new commercial paper, we have the option of drawing on the back-stop revolving facility, however electing to do so would result in higher interest expense. See “- Debt” below.
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents were $390$398 million and $627$407 million as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, and short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments were $984 million$1.0 billion and $920$943 million as of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively. See “- Cash Flows - Investing Activities” below for a discussion of the increase in the restricted cash and investments as of June 30, 2016.
As of June 30, 2016,2017, the amount of unrestricted cash held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries was $236$225 million. While we consider our non-U.S. earnings to be indefinitely reinvested overseas, if these cash balances are needed for our operations in the U.S., any repatriation by way of dividend may be subject to both U.S. federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for any non-U.S. tax credits. However, we do not have any current needs or foreseeable future needs or other plans to repatriate cash by way of dividends from our non-U.S. subsidiaries.
During 2015, our stock repurchases were completed under stock repurchase plans authorized by our
Our board of directors. In connection withdirectors has adopted a quarterly dividend declaration policy providing that the declaration of any dividends will be approved quarterly by the board of directors or audit committee of the board of directors taking into account such factors as our acquisition of Interactive Data duringevolving business model, prevailing business conditions and our financial results and capital requirements, without a predetermined annual net income payout ratio. During the fourthsecond quarter of 2015,2017, we suspended our stock repurchase plan and that plan has now expired. We did not repurchase anypaid a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share of our outstanding common stock duringfor an aggregate payout of $119 million, and the aggregate dividend payout for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The timing and extent2017 was $239 million. On August 3, 2017, we announced a $0.20 per share dividend for the third quarter of future repurchases, if any, that are not made pursuant2017 with the dividend payable on September 29, 2017 to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan will be at our discretion and will depend upon many conditions. Our management and boardshareholders of directors periodically review whether or not to be active in repurchasing our stock. In making a determination regarding any stock repurchases, we consider multiple factors. The factors may include: overall stock market conditions, our common stock price movements, the remaining amount authorized for repurchases by our boardrecord as of directors, the potential impact of a stock repurchase program on our corporate debt ratings, our expected free cash flow and working capital needs, our current and future planned strategic growth initiatives, and other potential uses of our cash and capital resources.September 15, 2017.
In August 2016, our board of directors approved an aggregate of $1.0 billion for future repurchases of our common stock with no fixed expiration date, subject to applicable laws and regulations. Repurchases may be made from time to timeDuring the six months ended June 30, 2017, we repurchased 7,827,513 shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $469 million. These repurchases were completed on the open market through established plans, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. We plan to enter into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan in the future to govern the repurchase ofunder our shares of common stock. Assuming we do begin to repurchase our shares of common stock in the future, we may discontinue the stock repurchases at any time and may terminate the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization and the effects of changes in working capital. Fluctuations in net cash provided by operating activities are primarily attributable to increases and decreases in our net income between periods and due to fluctuations in working capital. The $336 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016, from the comparable period in 2015, is primarily due to $171 million in cash provided by operating activities for Interactive Data and Trayport for the six months ended June 30, 2016, increase in the net income of our historical income statement excluding Interactive Data and Trayport, and other fluctuations in working capital. See “- Financial Highlights” above.
Investing Activities
Consolidated net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 20152016 primarily relates to proceedsthe net cash received from term deposits and salesour sale of available-for-sale investments,Cetip, increases in our capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs, and changes in restricted cash.
We received net proceeds from term deposits and sales of available-for-sale investments of $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015, with thecash proceeds from the term deposits used for the repaymentssale of the NYSE EUR Notes.Cetip of $438 million. See “- Recent Developments” above.
We had capital expenditures of $96$81 million and $92$96 million for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, and we had capitalized software development expenditures of $61$69 million and $44$61 million for the six months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively. The capital expenditures primarily relate to hardware purchases to continue the development and expansion of our electronic platforms, data services and clearing houses and leasehold improvements associated with the new and renovated office spaces in Atlanta, New York and London. The software development expenditures primarily relate to the continued development and expansion of our electronic trading platforms, data services and clearing houses.
We had a net increaseincreases in restricted cash and investments of $89 million and $75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.2017 and 2016, respectively. The net restricted cash increase for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily related to increases in the regulatory capital restricted cash at ICE Clear Europe and ICE Clear US primarily due to revenue increases, additional costs incurred due to the growth of our clearing businesses and additional regulatory capital buffers. The net restricted cash increase for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily related to increases in the regulatory capital restricted cash at ICE Clear Europe and ICE Futures Europe partially offset by a decrease in the cash held as escrow for the SuperDerivatives acquisition and the reported regulatory capital restricted cash at LIFFE, whose restricted cash is held in pounds sterling and it decreased due to the impact of the weakening pound sterling on our exchange rate. The increases in the regulatory capital restricted cash at ICE Clear Europe and ICE Futures Europe were primarily due to additional costs incurred due to the growth of our trading and clearing businesses and additional regulatory capital buffers required by the Bank of England that we have classified as restricted cash.
Financing Activities
Consolidated net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 primarily relates to $469 million in net repayments under our commercial paper program, $469 million in repurchases of common stock, $239 million in dividend payments

to our shareholders, and $81 million in cash payments related to treasury shares received for restricted stock tax payments and stock options exercises.

Credit Facility
We have entered into a $3.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, with a maturity date of November 13, 2020. The Credit Facility includes an option for us to propose an increase in the aggregate amount available for borrowing by up to $1.0 billion, subject to the consent of the lenders funding the increase and certain other conditions. On November 13, 2015, we utilized this option to increase the amount of the Credit Facility to $3.4 billion. The commitments under the Credit Facility will automatically reduce to $2.95$3.2 billion on April 3, 2019. No amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2016.2017.
Of the $3.4 billion that is currently available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, $1.8$1.2 billion is required to back-stop the amount outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program as of June 30, 2016.2017. The amount required to back-stop the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program will fluctuate as we increase or decrease our commercial paper borrowings. The remaining $1.6$2.2 billion available under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 20162017 is available to us to use for working capital and general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, acting as a back-stop to future increases in the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program.
364 Day Facility
On November 13, 2015, we entered into a $500 million 364 day senior unsecured revolving credit facility,Program or to fund the 364 Day Facility. The amounts available underredemption of the 364 Day Facility are available for use by us for working capital and general corporate purposes but specifically excluding any use to back-stop amounts issued under the Commercial Paper Program. The commitments under the 364 Day Credit Facility were reduced to $375 million on May 13, 2016 and will be automatically reduced to $250 million on August 13, 2016. No amounts were outstanding under the 364 Day Facility as of June 30, 2016.NYSE Notes discussed below.
Commercial Paper Program
We have entered into a U.S. dollar commercial paper program, or the Commercial Paper Program. Our Commercial Paper Program is currently backed by the borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility, equal to the amount of the commercial paper that is issued and outstanding at any given point in time. The effective interest rate of commercial paper issuances does not materially differ from short term interest rates (such as USD LIBOR). The fluctuation of these rates due to market conditions may impact our interest expense.
Commercial paper notes of $1.8$1.2 billion with original maturities ranging from 13 to 8975 days were outstanding as of June 30, 20162017 under our Commercial Paper Program. As of June 30, 2016,2017, the weighted average interest rate on the $1.8$1.2 billion outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program was 0.54%1.16% per annum, with a weighted average maturity of 1821 days. We repaid $781$469 million of the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program during the six months ended June 30, 20162017 primarily using net cash proceeds received from the sale of our investment in Cetip and cash flows from operations and a portion of our unrestricted cash balances.
Senior Notes
In November 2015, we issued $2.5 billion in aggregate senior notes, including $1.25 billion principal amount of 2.75% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due November 2020, or the 2020 Senior Notes, and $1.25 billion principal amount of 3.75% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due November 2025, or the 2025 Senior Notes. We used the net proceeds from the 2020 Senior Notes and 2025 Senior Notes offering, together with $1.6 billion of borrowings under our Commercial Paper Program, to finance the $4.1 billion cash portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of Interactive Data.

In October 2013, we issued $600 million principal amount of 2.50% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due October 2018, or the 2018 Senior Notes, and $800 million principal amount of 4.00% senior unsecured fixed rate notes due October 2023, or the 2023 Senior Notes.operations.
NYSE Notes

Additionally, ICE Clear Credit has entered into Committed F/X Facilities to support these liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2016,2017, the following facilities were in place:

ICE Clear Europe:    $1.05 billion in Committed Repo to finance U.S. dollar, euro and pound sterling sovereign debt deposits.

ICE Clear Credit:$400300 million in Committed Repo to finance U.S. dollar and euro sovereign debt deposits, €500 million in Committed Repo to finance euro sovereign debt deposits, and €1.0€1.4 billion in Committed F/X Facilities to finance euro payment obligations with U.S. dollar deposits.obligations.

ICE Clear U.S.:US:    $250 million in Committed Repo to finance U.S. dollar sovereign debt deposits.
Future Capital Requirements
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of growth across our trading and clearing and data services and listings businesses,segments, strategic plans and acquisitions, available sources for financing activities, required technology and clearing initiatives, regulatory requirements, the timing and introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products, the geographic mix of our business, potential stock repurchases, and the continuing market acceptance of our electronic trading and clearing platforms. We currently expect to make aggregate operational capital expenditures and to incur capitalized software development costs ranging between $280 million and $300 million for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, which we believe will support the enhancement of our technology, business integration and the continued expansiongrowth of our businesses. In addition, we currently expect between $45$40 million to $55$45 million in real estate capital expenditures during 20162017 for leasehold improvements primarily associated with our Atlanta and New York headquarters.
Our board of directors has adopted a quarterly dividend declaration policy providing that the declaration of any dividends will be approved quarterly by the board of directors or audit committee of the board of directors taking into account such factors as our evolving business model, prevailing business conditions and our financial results and capital requirements, without a predetermined annual net income payout ratio. During the second quarter of 2016, we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.85 per share of our common stock for an aggregate payout of $103 million, which includes the payment of dividend equivalents on unvested employee restricted stock units. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, our dividend payout was $1.70 per share of our common stock for an aggregate payout of $205 million, which includes the payment of dividend equivalents. On August 3, 2016, we announced a $0.85 per share dividend for the third quarter of 2016 with the dividend payable on September 30, 2016 to shareholders of record as of September 16, 2016.
As of June 30, 2016,2017, we had $6.5$5.9 billion in outstanding debt. We currently have a $3.4 billion Credit Facility. After factoring in the $1.8$1.2 billion currently required to backstop our Commercial Paper Program $1.6as of June 30, 2017, $2.2 billion of our Credit Facility is currently available for general corporate purposes.purposes, including for the potential repayment of the $850 million NYSE Notes when they mature in October 2017. The Credit Facility, our $375 million 364 Day Facility and our Commercial Paper Program are currently the only significant agreements or arrangements that we have with third parties for liquidity and capital resources. In the event of any strategic acquisitions, mergers or investments, or if we are required to raise capital for any reason or desire to return capital to our stockholders, we may incur additional debt, issue additional equity to raise necessary funds, repurchase additional shares of our common stock or pay a dividend. However, we cannot provide assurance that such financing or transactions will be available or successful, or that the terms of such financing or transactions will be favorable to us. We currently plan to fund the redemption of the NYSE Notes in October 2017 with the issuance of new senior term notes. However, if we are unable to issue new senior term notes or to do so on favorable terms, then we would fund the NYSE Notes redemption under the Commercial Paper Program or with the unused amount available under the Credit Facility, or a combination of these sources. See “- Debt” above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use non-GAAP measures internally to evaluate our performance and in making financial and operational decisions. When viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe that our presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. In addition, we believe the presentation of these measures is useful to investors for period-to-period comparison of results because the items described below as adjustments to GAAP are not reflective of our core business performance. These financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We use these adjusted results because we believe they more clearly highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since these measures eliminate from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance. We strongly recommend that investors review the GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report, on Form 10-Q, including our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.
Adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income attributable to ICE common shareholders and adjusted earnings per share for the periods presented below are calculated by adding or subtracting the adjustments described below, which are not reflective of our cash operations and core business performance, and their related income tax effect and other tax adjustments (in millions, except for percentages and per share amounts):

Acquisition-related transaction costs are included as part of our core business expenses, except for those that are directly related to the announcement, closing, financing or termination of a transaction. However, allthe acquisition-related transaction and integration costs relating to NYSEInteractive Data and Interactive DataNYSE are included in non-GAAP adjustments given the sizes of these acquisitions. As of June 30, 2016, the integration of NYSE had been completed and we will no longer include any NYSE integration costs as non-GAAP adjustments following this date. Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles are included in non-GAAP adjustments as excluding these non-cash expenses provides greater clarity regarding our financial strength and stability of cash operating results. Also, included inDuring the six months ended June 30, 2017, we include as non-GAAP adjustments are litigation settlementsthe $176 million Cetip realized investment gain and accruals incurred during the six and three months ended June 30, 2015. 2017, the $9 million foreign exchange loss and transaction expenses on the sale of Cetip, as the sale of Cetip is not part of our core business operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we include as a non-GAAP adjustment a $10 million accrual relating to ongoing investigations and inquiries as it is a non-recurring item. During the six months and three months ended June 30, 2017, we include as a non-GAAP adjustment the $6 million NYSE Governance Services net loss on divestiture as it is a non-recurring item.
The income tax effects relating to thesethe items above are included in non-GAAP adjustments as well as deferred tax adjustments on acquisition-related intangibles. The tax items in non-GAAP adjustments are either the tax impacts of the pre-tax non-GAAP adjustments or are tax items as described below that are not in the normal course of business and are not indicative of our core business performance. The non-GAAP income tax effect adjustments above include tax benefits associated with the divestiture of NYSE Governance Services. Deferred tax adjustments on acquisition-related intangibles and other tax effects relating to certain foreigninclude the impact of U.S. state tax law changes.and apportionment changes which resulted in deferred tax benefits of $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
For additional information on these items, refer to our consolidated financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and “- Recent Developments ”, “- Consolidated Operating Expenses”, “- Consolidated Non-Operating Income (Expense)”, “- Consolidated Income Tax Provision” and Part II, Item 1 “- Legal Proceedings”.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
In the second quarter of 2016,2017, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments from those disclosed in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 20152016 Form 10-K.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to note 2 to our consolidated financial statements above for information on the new and recently adopted accounting pronouncements that are applicable to us.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In the second quarter of 2016, except as discussed below,2017, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 20152016 Form 10-K.
Our goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are identified as part of our critical accounting policies and affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements and could materially increase or decrease our reported results, assets and liabilities. Our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually in our fiscal fourth quarter or more frequently if conditions exist that indicate that the value may be impaired. We test our goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. These impairment evaluations are performed by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangibles to its estimated fair value. We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination.
We had previously identified three reporting units: our futures reporting unit, our CDS reporting unit, and our cash listings reporting unit. We have conducted a review to determine the appropriate reporting units as a result of operating under two business segments effective January 1, 2016 and following our acquisition of Interactive Data in December 2015. This review has led to the identification of four reporting units: our futures reporting unit, our CDS reporting unit, our cash reporting unit, and our data and listings reporting unit. The change in reporting units is not considered a triggering event and we therefore have not evaluated for impairment during the interim period, as there were otherwise no conditions that indicate that the value may be impaired.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a result of our operating and financing activities, we are exposed to market risks such as interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and credit risk. We have implemented policies and procedures designed to measure, manage, monitor and report risk exposures, which are regularly reviewed by the appropriate management and supervisory bodies.
Interest Rate Risk
We have exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relating to our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments, and indebtedness. As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments were $1.4 billion and $1.6$1.4 billion, respectively, of which $334$237 million and $439$272 million, respectively, were denominated in pounds sterling, euros or Canadian dollars. The remaining cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. We do not use our investment portfolio for trading or other speculative purposes. A hypothetical decrease in long-term interest rates to zero basis points would decrease annual pre-tax earnings by $3$5 million as of June 30, 2016,2017, assuming no change in the amount or composition of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments.

Our investment in Cetip, which is recorded as an available-for-sale, long-term investment and is recorded and held in Brazilian reais, was valued at $427 million as of June 30, 2016, including an accumulated unrealized gain of $103 million. Changes in the fair value of the Cetip investment are currently reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and do not impact earnings, except to the extent that unrealized losses are deemed to be other than temporary.
As of June 30, 2016,2017, we had $6.5$5.9 billion in outstanding debt, of which $3.9 billion relates to senior notes and $852$850 million relates to the NYSE Notes, all of which bear interest at fixed interest rates. The remaining amount outstanding of $1.8$1.2 billion relates to our Commercial Paper Program, which bears interest at fluctuating rates and, therefore, subjects us to interest rate risk. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in long-term interest rates relating to the amounts outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program as of June 30, 20162017 would decrease annual pre-tax earnings by $18$12 million, assuming no change in the volume or composition of our outstanding indebtedness and no hedging activity.
The interest rates on our Commercial Paper Program are currently evaluated based upon current maturities and market conditions. The weighted average interest rate on our Commercial Paper Program increased from 0.74% as of December 31, 2016 to 1.16% as of June 30, 2017. The increase in the Commercial Paper Program weighted average interest rate was primarily due to the decisions by the U.S. Federal Reserve in March and June 2017 to increase the federal funds short-term interest rate by an aggregate 50 basis points to 1.25%. The Federal Reserve also signaled that they intend to continue to increase the federal fund short-term interest rate over the next several years, and if this occurs, this will continue to increase the weighted average interest rate on our Commercial Paper Program. See Item 2 “- Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Debt” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
As an international business, we are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk. We may experience gains or losses from foreign currency transactions in the future given that a significant part of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recorded in euros or pounds sterling. Certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of foreign subsidiaries are denominated in the local functional currency of such subsidiaries. Our exposure to foreign denominated earnings for the six months and three months ended

June 30, 20162017 is presented by primary foreign currency in the following table (dollars in millions, except exchange rates):

(1) Represents the impact of currency fluctuation for the six months and three months ended June 30, 20162017 compared to the same periods in the prior year.
We have a significant part of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses recorded in pounds sterling or euros. For the six months and three months ended June 30, 2016, 17%2017, 15% and 16%15%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues, less transaction-based expenses, were denominated in pounds sterling or euros and 19%15% and 14%, respectively, of both our consolidated expenses were denominated in pounds sterling or euros. As the pound sterling or euro exchange rate changes, the U.S. equivalent of revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies changes accordingly.
We have foreign currency transaction risk related to the settlement of foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and payables that occur through our operations, which are received in or paid in pounds sterling or euros, due to the increase or decrease in the foreign currency exchange rates between periods. We hadincurred foreign currency transaction gains (losses) of ($1 million) and ($7 million) for both the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, respectively,($1 million) and $2 million and ($2 million) for the three months ended June 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, respectively, primarily attributable to the fluctuations of the pound sterling and euro relative to the U.S. dollar. A 10% adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates as of June 30, 20162017 would result in a foreign currency transaction loss of $4 million, assuming no change in the composition of the foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and payables and assuming no hedging activity.
We entered into foreign currency hedging transactions during the six months and three months ended June 30, 20162017 as economic hedges to help mitigate a portion of our foreign exchange risk exposure and may enter into additional hedging transactions in the future to help mitigate our foreign exchange risk exposure. Although we may enter into additional hedging transactions in the future to help mitigate our foreign exchange risk exposure, these hedging arrangements may not be effective, particularly in the event of imprecise forecasts of the levels of our non-U.S. denominated assets and liabilities.

We have foreign currency translation risk equal to our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using a current rate of exchange, with gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, a component of equity. Our exposure to the net investment in foreign currencies is presented by primary foreign currencies in the table below (in millions):

As of June 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the portion of our equity attributable to accumulated other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation was $244$260 million and $45$345 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2016,2017, we had net exposure of pounds sterling and euros of £1.2£1.1 billion ($1.61.5 billion) and €128€100 million ($143114 million), respectively. Based on these June 30, 20162017 net currency positions, a hypothetical 10% decrease of the pound sterling against U.S. dollar would negatively impact our equity by $160$148 million and a hypothetical 10% decrease of the euro against U.S. dollar would negatively impact our equity by $14$11 million.

months and three months ended June 30, 2016,2017, currency exchange rate differences had a negativepositive impact of $199$85 million and $125$60 million, respectively, on our consolidated equity, primarily due to the decreaseincrease in the pound sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate to 1.33121.3025 as of June 30, 20162017 (from 1.48681.2336 as of December 31, 2015 and from 1.4363 as of March 31, 2016) due to the weakening pound sterling. The pound sterling decreased in late June 2016 following the U.K. referendum that resulted in a vote for the U.K. to leave the European Union.. The future impact on our business relating to the U.K. leaving the European Union and the corresponding regulatory changes are uncertain at this time, including future impacts on currency exchange rates.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to credit risk in our operations in the event of a counterparty default. We limit our exposure to credit risk by rigorously selecting the counterparties with which we make our investments and execute agreements. Credit risk is monitored by using exposure limits depending on ratings assigned by rating agencies as well as the nature and maturity of transactions. Our investment objective is to invest in securities that preserve principal while maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk. We seek to substantially mitigate credit risk associated with investments by ensuring that these financial assets are placed with governments, well-capitalized financial institutions and other creditworthy counterparties.
An ongoing review is performed to evaluate changes in the status of counterparties. In addition to the intrinsic creditworthiness of counterparties, our policies require diversification of counterparties (banks, financial institutions, bond issuers and funds) so as to avoid a concentration of risk.
Our clearing houses hold material amounts of clearing member cash deposits which are held or invested primarily to provide security of capital while minimizing credit, market and liquidity risks. Refer to note 9 to our consolidated financial statements, abovewhich are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, for more information on the clearing houses cash deposits, which were $48.5$53.6 billion as of June 30, 2016.2017. While we seek to achieve a reasonable rate of return which may generate interest income for our clearing members, we are primarily concerned with preservation of capital and managing the risks associated with these deposits. As the clearing houses may pass on interest revenues (minus costs) to the members, this could include negative or reduced yield due to market conditions. For a summary of the risks associated with this investment activity and how these risks are mitigated, see Part II, Item 7(A) “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 20152016 Form 10-K.
Impact of Inflation
We have not been adversely affected by inflation as technological advances and competition have generally caused prices for the hardware and software that we use for our electronic platforms to remain constant or to decline. In the event of inflation, we believe that we will be able to pass on any price increases to our participants, as the prices that we charge are not governed by long-term contracts.

ITEM  4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)  Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.    As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
(b)  Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, no corrective actions were taken.


PART II. Other Information

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and claimsinvestigations that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Typically,These include, for example, several ongoing investigations and inquiries from the SEC and other regulators as well as the matters described in Part I, Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” in our 2016 Form 10-K. We establish accruals for those matters in circumstances when a loss contingency is considered probable and the related amount is reasonably estimable. Any such accruals may be adjusted as circumstances change. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a $10 million accrual relating to ongoing investigations and inquiries. Assessments of losses are inherently subjective and involve unpredictable factors. We do not believe that the resolution of ordinary coursethese legal matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition,conditions, results of operations or liquidity. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period couldmay be materially and adversely affected by any developments relating to thein legal proceedings, claims and claims. Refer to Part 1, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”investigations.

Further, as previously disclosed in our 2015Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, in May 2014, three purported class action lawsuits were filed and later amended in the Southern District by Harold Lanier against the securities exchanges that are participants in each of the three national market system data distribution plans - the Consolidated Tape Association/Consolidated Quotation Plan, the Nasdaq UTP Plan, and the Options Price Reporting Authority, or the Plans, - which are established under the Exchange Act and regulated by the SEC. New York Stock Exchange LLC, NYSE Arca, Inc. and NYSE MKT LLC, which are our subsidiaries, were among the defendants named in one or more of the suits, in which Lanier claimed to sue on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated subscribers to the market data disseminated by the Plans. Lanier’s allegations included that the exchange participants in the Plans breached agreements with subscribers by disseminating market data in a summarydiscriminatory manner in that other “preferred” customers allegedly received their data faster than the proposed class. In September 2014, the defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaints, and in April 2015, the court issued an opinion and order granting the motion and dismissing the three lawsuits with prejudice. In September 2016, the Second Circuit entered an order affirming the dismissal of our legal proceedingsthe lawsuits. In November 2016, the Second Circuit denied a petition filed by Lanier, relating only to the lawsuit involving the Options Price Reporting Authority plan, seeking a rehearing by the panel of judges that decided the appeal or, in the alternative, for review by the full Second Circuit. Lanier has not sought review of these matters by the U.S. Supreme Court and claims.we consider this matter closed.

ITEM  1(A).     RISK FACTORS

In the second quarter of 2016,2017, there were no significant new risk factors from those disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 20152016 Form 10-K. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, including the regulatory update information of Item 2 - Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” and the regulation discussion under “Business - Regulation” in our 20152016 Form 10-K. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks and uncertainties in our 20152016 Form 10-K are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business.
