When the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) announced on Jan. 31, 2008 that it would acquire YellowJacket in a deal that would close in February of 2008, Pechenik said distribution of YellowJacket technology and liquidity would continue to grow on its network by leveraging ICE's global distribution, asset class diversity and customer base. YellowJacket would become a subsidiary of ICE under the deal. [2]
