The deal implies an enterprise value of about USD 5.7 billion, a 33% premium to MarketAxess’s July 29 close.
ICE plans to fund the purchase with newly issued debt, including bonds, a term loan, and commercial paper.
The companies expect USD 100 million of annual run-rate expense synergies within three years, with adjusted EPS accretion in year one.
Closing is targeted for the first half of 2027, subject to MarketAxess stockholder approval and customary conditions.
