Nasdaq to buy OMERS-backed news distributor Marketwired: Reuters

Nasdaq Inc said it would acquire newswire operator and press release distributor Marketwired LP for an undisclosed sum, adding to the exchange operator's corporate services offerings, Reuters reported. Toronto-based Marketwired is owned by OMERS Private Equity, which last year was said to have been mulling a sale of the company for as much as US$200 million.
