Summary
This 8-K filing by CME Group Inc. (formerly Chicago Mercantile Exchange Holdings Inc.) on April 26, 2005, primarily serves to report the company's financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005. While the 8-K itself does not contain the detailed financial figures, it explicitly incorporates by reference a press release (Exhibit 99.1) dated April 26, 2005, which holds these results. Investors should refer to this press release for a comprehensive understanding of CME's performance during the first quarter of 2005, including key metrics such as revenue, net income, and earnings per share. The filing also notes that the information provided under Item 2.02 is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning it does not carry the same legal implications as formally filed information unless specifically incorporated into a registration statement. This is a standard disclosure for earnings releases furnished under an 8-K.
