This 8-K filing from Nasdaq, Inc. (NDAQ) confirms the completion of a public offering of 31,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These shares were sold by Borse Dubai Limited, identified as the Selling Stockholder, not by Nasdaq directly.

The filing also includes an opinion from Wachtell, Lipton Rosen & Katz regarding the validity of the shares, which is incorporated by reference into Nasdaq's registration statement.
