Explanatory Note:
The sole purpose of this revision to the original definitive Proxy
Statement filed on June 25, 2007, is to add a Notice of Revocation of Member Proxy, which was distributed to holders
of record as of May 29, 2007, of Series B-1 and/or B-2 Memberships in the Board of Trade of the City of Chicago, Inc., on
June 30, 2007, by Innisfree M&A Inc., on behalf of IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.
Dear :
The CBOT special members meeting to vote on the CME deal is scheduled for July 9 at the Union
League Club in Chicago. ICE urges all CBOT members to vote against the CME proposal. Among other
reasons, voting against the CME deal will allow members to preserve their opportunity to receive
(1) a significant premium for any shares of CBOT Holdings common stock they hold; (2) a minimum of
$500,000 in value for each of their CBOE exercise rights, without the need for disruptive
litigation, if they hold the required interests;1 and (3) pricing protections on trading
fees until 2014.
If you have already voted, it is not too late to change your vote. If you are the record holder of
your membership interests, you can change your vote in one of three ways:
(1) You can send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy;
(2) You can complete and submit a new valid proxy bearing a later date by mail or by following the
telephone or internet voting instruction provided by CBOT; or
(3) You can attend the members meeting and vote in person.
If you are not sure yet how you want to vote, but want to revoke a vote you have already mailed in,
you may send a notice of revocation to CBOT, c/o Georgeson Inc., Wall Street Station, P.O. Box
1100, New York, NY 10269-0646 prior to the members meeting, or you may complete the attached
Revocation of Proxy card and return it to us c/o Innisfree M&A by fax at (212) 750-5799, or by
mail at 501 Madison Avenue, 19th Floor, New York, NY 10022 as soon as possible.
Innisfree will submit all of the Revocations of Proxy that it receives to CBOT prior to the
members meeting. If you wish to re-vote after you revoke your proxy, you must follow the voting
procedures established by CBOT.
We encourage you to review the proxy statement that ICE distributed to CBOT stockholders. It is
available on-line and free of charge at www.theice.com.
IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.

Contingent on completion of the proposed
merger of ICE and CBOT; approval by a majority of CBOT stockholders, a majority
of the voting power of CBOT members, and a majority of CBOE members; and
obtaining regulatory and judicial approvals. |
