February 15, 2017 (TORONTO) – TMX Group today announced that it has sold the wireless and extranet infrastructure services business known as TMX Atrium to Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

The decision to enter into this transaction was made within the scope of TMX's ongoing strategic initiative to streamline its organizational structure and position the company to deliver profitable long-term growth. Upon closing, TMX Atrium will become part of ICE Data Services, a leading global provider of market data solutions.
