"NASDAQ is committed to expanding access to 144A equity and debt securities information. We believe that EDGAR Online's technologies and capabilities will enable us to build the gold-standard reference database that is needed to best serve this market" said Adena Friedman, Executive Vice President, NASDAQ.
