Summary
This 8-K filing from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (Nasdaq) on January 30, 2006, primarily serves to attach a press release detailing their financial results for the fourth quarter of 2005 and providing financial guidance for the upcoming fiscal year 2006. Investors should note that this information is furnished and not deemed 'filed' under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning it doesn't automatically become part of Nasdaq's official SEC filings unless specifically incorporated by reference. The core purpose of this report is to disseminate Nasdaq's forward-looking statements and historical performance data to the public. While the specific details of the Q4 2005 results and 2006 guidance are contained within the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1), this 8-K acts as the official notification of their availability.
