Other Events.

On November 17, 2025, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (“ICE”) completed the public offering and issuance of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.950% Senior Notes due 2028 and $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.200% Senior Notes due 2031 (together, the “Notes”).

The Notes were sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, dated November 5, 2025 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between ICE and BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the underwriters named therein. The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to ICE’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-277603) and the prospectus included therein, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2024, and supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated November 5, 2025. The Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of August 13, 2018 (the “Indenture”), between ICE and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 17, 2025 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between ICE and Computershare Trust Company, National Association, as trustee.

ICE received approximately $1.236 billion in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and commissions and before offering expenses, from the sale of the Notes. ICE intends to use the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses) from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand or other immediately available funds, to fund the repayment at maturity of its 3.75% Senior Notes due December 1, 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). This current report on Form 8-K is not a notice of redemption with respect to the 2025 Notes.

The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and are subject to certain limitations contained in the Underwriting Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture (including the forms of the Notes), which are filed and incorporated by reference as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1 hereto, respectively.
