Three top NYSE Euronext (NYX.N) executives -- in addition to the CEO -- will retain their posts after the planned merger with Germany's Deutsche Boerse AG (DB1Gn.DE), according to two people familiar with the plan. One of the sources, who requested anonymity because talks continue, said there is an "agreement in principle on the broad outlines of the deal." A formal deal announcement could be made by mid-morning (New York Time) Tuesday after the companies' boards vote, the sources said. The acquisition of the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange by Deutsche Boerse is expected to close by year's end, although it could slip into 2012, they said.
