NYSE Euronext and Deutsche Boerse AG delayed the deadline for completing their merger until March 31 as the exchange operators try to persuade European regulators to approve the deal.
The extension was announced in a regulatory filing. The companies previously said they expected to complete their combination “shortly” after the Feb. 9 deadline for a ruling by the European Commission. That date was extended on Dec. 13. The companies said in February when they announced the merger that they expected to close the deal this year.
