NYSE Euronext has agreed to rent space on its New York Stock Exchange trading floor to its planned buyer, IntercontinentalExchange, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The move would see about 40 ICE futures traders relocate from their current workplace a dozen blocks across lower Manhattan, rival exchange operator CME Group's New York Mercantile Exchange. Regulators and shareholders are currently reviewing ICE's $8.2bn takeover deal for NYSE.
