FEDERATION OF EURO-ASIAN STOCK EXCHANGES ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 2010 FEDERATION OF EURO-ASIAN STOCK EXCHANGES 15TH ANNIVERSARY CONGRATULATIONS MESSAGES Jalil Tarif CEO, Amman Stock Exchange Armen Melikyan CEO, NASDAQ OMX Armenia In 1995 the idea was born, few exchanges met together with ambitious and incisive vision to create a regional club. At that moment we have had faith that this Federation will grow up. We were confident that this would represent the first step and many steps will follow. Now, as were hoping, the Federation became one of the most active gatherings in the world and its members became 45 representing major exchanges in the region. We will continue expanding this Federation with the same momentum that we had. I would like to send my warmest and most affectionate wishes to the Federation, its great management and staff on the occasion of the FEAS 15th anniversary. Bakhtiyar Azizov CEO NDC Azerbaijan Dear friends! We sincerely congratulate you on the significant event - the 15th anniversary of the foundation of your organization! Owing to purposefulness and high professionalism FEAS invariably achieves successes. It’s been 15 years that your organization has been creating fair, effective and transparent market conditions for the trading between its members. We wish you successes, prosperity, fruitful work and look forward to our continuous cooperation! Being a member since 2002, we have always felt strongly about the unifying role of the Federation and its mission to support the creation of fair, efficient, and transparent marketplaces in FEAS member countries. At all times, we witnessed the Federation’s untiring efforts to bring the region’s capital market institutions together, providing a forum for sharing challenges faced, exchanging solutions and experiences, and identifying and exploring new areas of partnership. In a global world, where international and, specifically, regional cooperation makes increasing sense pushing past obstacles for opportunities, I see a growing role for the Federation and – on behalf of NASDAQ OMX Armenia – pledge our full support to FEAS’ future initiatives and undertakings. I am also more than confident that under the current dynamic management and with the excellent team that FEAS has built over these years, there is no goal that is impossible to reach. I wish FEAS many more happy anniversaries in the future and many existing and new members to share the celebrations! Osman Sarac CEO & President – Istanbul Gold Exchange As it is 15-year celebration of FEAS, is much more than an anniversary - it is a celebration of a time-honored commitment for cooperation and convergence of the Exchanges and Organizations as a globally recognized regional institution. FEAS is growing with its member Exchanges which are serving to millions of investors in the region. As Istanbul Gold Exchange we are honored to be a member of this large family and we will be contributing to achieve the objectives of the Federation and will be creating linkage among different investment opportunities in the competitive global market environment. FEAS will reach larger influence on market environment with the achievement of the objectives and convergence among members with long term plans. Ahmad Aweidah CEO, Palestine Securities Exchange Ever since being members at the FEAS, we witnessed active interaction, coordination, communication, and exchange of experiences and expertise among Euro-Asian Stock Exchange members; this could have never been achieved without the FEAS commitment and high dedication to serve its members. We believe the year 2010 will witness more and more successes and accomplishments for the FEAS in many perspectives. Thank you FEAS for your continuous dedication. PAGE 11
