Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Increase in Quarterly Dividend In April 2017, Nasdaq announced a 19.0% increase in our quarterly dividend to $0.38. Debt Restructuring In April 2017, Nasdaq announced it will redeem all of its 2018 Notes on May 26, 2017, using a combination of cash on hand and proceeds from the sale of commercial paper issued through Nasdaq's newly created commercial paper program. Additionally, Nasdaq entered into an agreement for a $1 billion five-year revolving credit facility, which replaces our existing 2014 Credit Facility. Nasdaq intends to use funds available under the new revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes and to provide liquidity support for the repayment of commercial paper issued through the commercial paper program. As a result, our 2014 Credit Facility has been terminated.
