PRESS RELEASE

ICE MAILS DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT TO CBOT STOCKHOLDERS
URGING THEY VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSED CME ACQUISITION

Atlanta, June 25, 2007 — IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (NYSE: ICE) today announced that it has filed a definitive proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to solicit votes opposing the proposed acquisition of the Chicago Board of Trade (NYSE: BOT) by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (NYSE: CME). In addition, ICE has commenced the mailing of its definitive proxy materials to CBOT stockholders.

ICE seeks support from CBOT stockholders and urges them to reject the proposed CBOT/CME combination as inferior. As fully detailed in the definitive proxy statement, ICE believes CBOT stockholders should reject the proposed CBOT/CME combination because:

•		A vote “AGAINST” the proposed CME merger preserves the opportunity for CBOT’s stockholders to receive the significant premium for their shares under ICE’s proposal which, if consummated, would provide significantly greater financial value than the proposed CME merger.
•		A combination of ICE and CBOT is superior to the proposed CME merger and would offer substantial benefits to the stockholders and members of CBOT, including stronger historic stock performance since January 1, 2006, opportunity to share in future growth, preservation of CBOT’s heritage and precious metals complex, and strong management.
•		A vote “AGAINST” the proposed CME merger sends a strong message to CBOT’s Board that CBOT stockholders want the opportunity to accept the ICE proposal.

The CBOT stockholder meeting is scheduled to take place in Chicago on July 9, 2007.

Additional risks and factors are identified in ICE’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including ICE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2007 and ICE’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, as filed with the SEC on May 4, 2007.
