The London Stock Exchange (LSE) said it is exploring other corporate opportunities after its failure to buy Liffe, as it unveiled its first set of results since its listing in July.
Don Cruickshank, chairman of the LSE, remained upbeat about the LSE's prospects despite the setback in losing Liffe to Euronext. He said in a statement: "Following our recent approach to Liffe, we are disappointed that its board did not share our bold vision for the future, however we are engaged in other opportunities to broaden the scope and scale of out business both organically and through corporate transactions."
