Deutsche Börse Requests Withdrawal of Credit Rating from Moody's Investors Service

Deutsche Börse AG announced today that it terminated its contract with Moody's Investors Services to provide long and short term credit rating coverage. Moody's Investors Service currently rates Deutsche Börse AG Aa1 (stable outlook) (long term) and P1 (short term).

The step comes as Deutsche Börse consolidates its outstanding credit ratings. Deutsche Börse AG will continue to be rated by Standard & Poor's, which also rates Deutsche Börse's subsidiary Clearstream Banking S.A.

Deutsche Börse AG is currently rated AA (stable) (long term) and A1+ (short term) by Standard & Poor's. Clearstream Banking S.A. is currently rated AA (stable) (long term) and F1+ (short term) by Fitch Ratings. -http://deutsche-boerse.com
