Cboe Completes Acquisition of Chi-X Asia Pacific

Cboe Global Markets, Inc. announced it has completed its acquisition of Chi-X Asia Pacific Holdings, Ltd., an alternative market operator and provider of innovative market solutions. Through ownership of Chi-X Asia Pacific, Cboe gains entrance into two of the world's largest securities markets -  Japan and Australia – to establish a significant presence in the Asia Pacific region for the first time. Cboe plans to fully integrate Chi-X Asia Pacific into its existing global business operations and technology platforms, beginning with the integration of Chi-X Asia Pacific and BIDS. Chi-X Australia and Chi-X Japan are planned to migrate to Cboe's state-of-the-art trading platform thereafter. Providing one, unified technology platform will help provide market participants greater access to Cboe's diverse product set and more efficiency, resiliency and functionality when trading across Cboe's markets.
