Item 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On August 7, 2023, Jeffrey C. Sprecher, our Chair and Chief Executive Officer, adopted a trading plan for the sale of shares of ICE common stock for himself and Continental Power Exchange, Inc., of which he owns 100% of the equity interests. The plan is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The plan expires on the earlier of (i) October 31, 2024; or (ii) upon the completion of the sale of the maximum number of shares under the plan. The aggregate number of shares to be sold under the plan is 505,165 shares plus an undetermined number of shares to be sold resulting from the vesting of performance-based restricted stock units less the amount of shares that will be withheld to satisfy the payment of Mr. Sprecher's tax withholding obligations. The number of shares to be sold under the plan, excluding the unknown number of unvested performance-based restricted stock units, is less than ten percent of the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by Mr. Sprecher as reported in our most recently filed Definitive Proxy Statement.

Certain of our officers or directors have made elections to participate in, and are participating in, our dividend reinvestment plan and employee stock purchase plan and have made, and may from time to time make, elections to have shares withheld to cover withholding taxes or pay the exercise price of options, which may be designed to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or may constitute non-Rule 10b5–1 trading arrangements (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
