Petitioning Process
As in past years, and pursuant to the terms of our bylaws, a holder of Class B-1,
Class B-2 or Class B-3 shares, who has not been nominated by the applicable Class B nominating committee, may nonetheless have his or her name placed as a
nominee by submitting a petition for nomination form signed by the holders of at least 100 Class B-1 shares, 100 Class B-2 shares or 150 Class B-3 shares, as applicable, to be included as a nominee for the particular class. As require by our bylaws, nominations must be submitted in writing and accompanied by a description of the proposed
nominees qualifications and other relevant biographical information and evidence of the consent of the proposed nominee.
Prospective candidates who
comply with the petition procedures will be included in the Companys proxy statement to be distributed to shareholders in connection with the Annual Meeting. In order to be included as a nominee for director, all petitions must be submitted to
the Membership Department in hardcopy at 333 S. LaSalle, by fax at 312 341 7302 or email at Membership_CMEGroup@cmegroup.com prior to 5:00 p.m., Chicago time, Monday, February 17,

Campaigning Process
The
Class B nominees may solicit votes in advance of the Annual Meeting; however, such activities are considered a proxy solicitation under the Securities Exchange Act and need to be conducted in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
rules governing those solicitations. Additionally, no written solicitation materials can be mailed or distributed prior to the time we have mailed and/or emailed the Companys definitive proxy statement to our shareholders. We
expect this mailing to occur in late March.
