NEW YORK, Nov 12, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Dow Jones & Company has entered a definitive agreement to sell its one-third interest in STOXX Ltd. and provide certain intellectual-property rights to its joint-venture partners for EUR206.1 million (approximately $309 million).
There is an opportunity for Dow Jones to receive up to a further EUR29 million (approximately $44 million) depending on future business performance.
After the transaction is complete, Deutsche Boerse AG and SIX Group will each own 50% of STOXX with Deutsche Boerse holding a one-share majority.
"This is the result of a strategic evaluation of Dow Jones' index businesses and represents an opportunity to realize significant value on an investment made in STOXX just over a decade ago," said Les Hinton, chief executive of Dow Jones.
The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, is expected to close by the end of first quarter of 2010.
"This venture was very successful in part because Deutsche Boerse and SIX Group were excellent partners," Mr. Hinton said. "We wish them both much success for the future."
The Dow Jones STOXX Indexes were launched in 1998 as the European Monetary Union prepared for the launch of the Euro.

HONG KONG, Sep 21, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) --
This fall, Dow Jones & Company will focus on its core publications to better serve readers and advertisers in key markets, both in print and online, to catapult the company's growth in the burgeoning Asian marketplace.
As a result, the Far Eastern Economic Review will cease publication in December so opinion and commentary resources from Asia can be expanded across all Dow Jones properties. Unfortunately, despite several attempts at invigorating the brand, the REVIEW's continued losses in advertising revenue and readers are now unsustainable.
Dow Jones has expanded local content from Asia in The Wall Street Journal print and online editions with an expanded news hole, redesigned WSJ.com, expansion of chinese.WSJ.com, new mobile content delivery via BlackBerry and iPhone devices, and the launch of a Japanese-language Web site coming this fall.
These investments into Dow Jones Asia have translated into an increased print circulation of 6.3% year-over-year for the Jan.-June period, led by a substantial increase in subscriptions, with particularly significant growth in Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and Taiwan. Average daily circulation also increased to 85,822 copies from 80,706 year-over-year.
"By increasing resources into growth areas at Dow Jones, we'll better serve a diverse group of readers and advertisers across Asia," said Christine Brendle, publisher of The Wall Street Journal Asia and managing director, Asia, Dow Jones Consumer Media Group.
"The decision to cease publication of the REVIEW is a difficult one made after a careful study of the magazine's prospects in a challenging business climate," said Todd Larsen, chief operating officer at Dow Jones Consumer Media Group. "It has a rich history of pioneering journalism and helped to set the standard for the press in Asia in the post-World War II era when local publications often lacked the freedom to report honestly. Dow Jones is proud to have been associated with the REVIEW and its invaluable contributions to the understanding of the Asia region."
Hugo Restall, the REVIEW's editor since Oct. 2004, will remain a member of The Wall Street Journal editorial board, which he joined in Feb. 2004. Mr. Restall served as editorial page editor of The Wall Street Journal Asia from 1999 to 2003.
Current REVIEW subscribers will be offered a one-year subscription to asia.wsj.com, the regionally dedicated edition of the leading provider of business and financial news and analysis on the Web.
The Far Eastern Economic Review was launched in 1946.
