D.Boerse board confident on NYSE Euronext deal, (NYSE: NYX)

Deutsche Boerse (DB1Gn.DE) has thought about "everything" that could thwart a combination with NYSE Euronext (NYX.N), a board member for the Frankfurt Exchange operator said on Wednesday. Upon being asked whether Deutsche Boerse would be ready to counter any rival offer for NYSE Euronext, Frank Gerstenschlaeger said it was too early to comment given that there was no rival offer. He said that the Deutsche Boerse-NYSE Euronext combination was "difficult to top" adding: "We have thought about everything that could pose a risk to the deal."
