rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Restricted Stock Units were credited to a bookkeeping account established by ICE Inc. in the director&#146;s name. Except as described below, one-third of each award of Restricted Stock Units vests each

received had the director been the actual owner of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units then credited to the account, divided by (ii)&nbsp;the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the dividend

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
The shares of the Registrant's Common Stock to be
offered are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
The Deferred Compensation Obligations registered hereunder are
unsecured, unfunded general obligations of the Registrant to pay the value of deferred compensation accounts in accordance with the terms of the ICE 2003 Restricted Stock Plan, described below.
Under the ICE 2003 Restricted Stock Plan, through 2012, eligible outside directors were provided with the opportunity to defer a portion their
meeting and retainer fees in the form of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units (each, as defined under the ICE 2003 Restricted Stock Plan). Beginning in 2013, this deferral program is no longer offered. The ICE 2003 Restricted Stock Plan is a
non-qualified deferred compensation plan for members of the board of directors of ICE Inc. (the "ICE Board") who are not full-time employees of ICE Inc. or any of its subsidiaries. The obligation of the Registrant ultimately to pay amounts
under the Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the ICE 2003 Restricted Stock Plan are unsecured obligations of the Registrant and rank pari passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Registrant from time to time
outstanding.
2
Table of Contents
The number of Restricted Stock Units that were credited to an outside director through 2012 was
determined by dividing the portion of the meeting and retainer fees the director had elected to defer by the fair market value of a share of ICE Inc.'s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as of the end of the applicable calendar quarter,
rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Restricted Stock Units were credited to a bookkeeping account established by ICE Inc. in the director's name. Except as described below, one-third of each award of Restricted Stock Units vests each
year on the anniversary of the end of the applicable calendar quarter.
If the Registrant pays a cash dividend with respect to Common
Stock at any time while Restricted Stock Units are credited to a director's bookkeeping account, the director's account will be credited additional Restricted Stock Units equal to (i) the cash dividend that the director would have
received had the director been the actual owner of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units then credited to the account, divided by (ii) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the dividend
payment date. Additional Restricted Stock Units will vest at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which the additional Restricted Stock Units were credited.
In the event a director's service on the ICE Board is terminated for any reason other than death, disability, cause or retirement, during
January of the first calendar year after such termination, the Registrant shall deliver to the director a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of vested Restricted Stock Units then credited to the director's bookkeeping account,
together with a cash payment equal to the fair market value of any fractional stock equivalent. Any unvested Restricted Stock Units will be distributed in cash in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the retainer and meeting fees deferred by
the director to obtain the Restricted Stock Unit and (ii) the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the director's service on the ICE Board terminated. If a director's service on the ICE Board terminates due to
cause, the director will forfeit all Restricted Stock Units credited to his or her account, and the Registrant shall pay the director $0.01 per Restricted Stock Unit. If the director's service on the ICE Board terminates due to death,
disability, or retirement, all unvested Restricted Stock Units will be fully vested as of the date of such termination of service, and a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units then credited to the
director's account, together with a cash payment equal to the fair market value of any fractional stock equivalent, will be distributed during January of the first calendar year after such termination of service.
A director will not be entitled to any voting or other shareholder rights as a result of the credit of Restricted Stock Units to his or her
bookkeeping account until the shares of Common Stock are issued.
The ICE 2003 Restricted Stock Plan may be amended or terminated,
including the terms and conditions described above at any time, provided that any amendment may not adversely affect any then outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the "DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers, as well as other employees and individuals, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, subject to certain limitations. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled to under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise. Section 10.6 of the Registrant's bylaws provides for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
3
Table of Contents
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its charter that a
director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its shareholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or
(4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant's charter provides for such limitation of liability.
The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1) to its directors and officers against loss
rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (2) to it with respect to payments which may be made by us to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of
law.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
The Exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index
to this Registration Statement, which Index is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided,
however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
4
Table of Contents
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
