Summary
Nasdaq, Inc. (NDAQ) filed a Form 8-K on January 30, 2019, to report its financial results for the fourth quarter and full fiscal year of 2018. The report incorporates by reference a press release (Exhibit 99.1) detailing these results and also announces the declaration of a quarterly cash dividend (Exhibit 99.2). Investors should note that while the press release and earnings presentation slides are furnished as part of this filing, they are not deemed "filed" for the purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, meaning they do not automatically become incorporated into other SEC filings unless specifically referenced. The primary takeaway for investors is access to the company's 2018 year-end financial performance and information regarding upcoming dividend payments.
