Item 8.01.		Other Events

     IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. (“ICE”) announced that Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey C. Sprecher and Continental Power Exchange, Inc. (“CPEX”) have each adopted pre-arranged stock trading plans. The trading plans were adopted on February 3, 2008, pursuant to guidelines specified under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The trading plans commence in March 2008 and contemplate stock option exercises and stock sales during the remainder of 2008. Mr. Sprecher owns 100% of the equity interest in CPEX and CPEX has no operations and no assets other than its equity interest in ICE.

     Mr. Sprecher and CPEX’s pre-arranged trading plans will enable Mr. Sprecher to diversify his personal investment portfolio, implement certain tax planning measures, and pay income taxes incurred in connection with the delivery or exercise of his equity awards. The sales under the trading plans represent less than 15 percent of Mr. Sprecher’s combined holdings of stock (directly or indirectly through CPEX) and vested and unvested restricted stock and stock options for ICE common stock. Rule 10b5-1 allows officers and directors of public companies, at a time they are not aware of material nonpublic information, to adopt predetermined trading plans for buying and selling shares without regard to any subsequent non-public information the individual may receive.
