Fellow Members and Class B-1 Shareholders,
My name is Michael Downs and I am proud to have been slated as a candidate for election as a Class B-1 Director for the CME Group Board of Directors.
I believe I was chosen because of my knowledge and experience both on and off the trading floor. If I have learned anything about our industry, in the last 30
years, its that very little remains unaltered. The velocity at which we change varies over time, but to the benefit of our market participants and ourselves, we have been changing for decades. Our ability to adapt is what makes us and the CME
unique.
I dont believe we have arrived at some pre-determined point in our history and then suddenly there are no remaining opportunities or
challenges. The advancement of technology is moving at a pace that creates an environment of opportunity. The way we trade has always been a work in progress and whos to say what form it will take in the coming years. I am a proponent of
growth and change, but not at the expense of our customers security, or our heritage of quality products, and diligent oversight.
With all the of
the electronic sophistication we can now bring to the marketplace, the same holds true today as it did 30 years ago
healthy and viable product lines create trade, and that brings success. These things will guide me as l work hard to serve as
your elected Class B-1 Director and to represent all the shareholders at CME Group.
I respectfully ask for your support in the coming election. I live
and work on LaSalle Street and Im available to talk in person or by phone. Before and after the Annual Meeting, I will be interested in what you have to say.
I have served on various CME committees over my career. Most recently, Class B-1 Nominating Committee 2005-2015 (2013 Chair), and currently on Probable Cause
and Business Conduct.
Thank You,
Michael J. Downs (BMR)
Please vote at
www.provyvote.com
Thank you in
advance for your support.
Hope you are doing well.
I
would be honored to serve as your elected Class B director.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
My name is
Will Hobert and I am a candidate for a Class B-1 seat on the CME Group Board of Directors.
I am running to repeat the accomplishments of my last
term and to build upon them.
Since being elected in 2015, I was selected to serve on the strategic steering committee chaired by Leo Melamed. The strategic steering committees role is to review and recommend to the Board the long-term
objectives and strategic plan for the company with respect to the companys business lines, business model, customer segments, globalization efforts and degrees of geographic penetration. I was chosen for this role because the committee
recognized the lifetime of achievement and experience that I bring to the CME and the benefit to the Board, and to the entire organization, of leveraging those assets.
I am running on my nearly three decades of industry experience as an open outcry market maker, electronic options and futures trader, company founder,
and owner of WH Trading.
As the managing member of WH Trading, I oversee technology, risk management, operations, and strategy development. Since the founding of WH Trading in 1994, the firm has grown to over 60 employees. WH Trading
participates in a wide range of futures and options markets, both on the CME Group floor and electronically on numerous exchanges worldwide. Like many market participants, we have developed in-house proprietary options and futures trading software
and benchmark the performance of our trading systems at the microsecond level.
I am running on my ability to adapt to changes in a dynamic trading industry and my resultant success as a
proprietary firm owner.
Over the last decade, CME Group has grown and advanced as technology has driven massive change in the trading industry and capital markets. Similarly, WH Trading has reinvented itself to adapt to the new trading
landscape. As financial markets evolved and liquidity shifted from open outcry to the electronic trading screens, WH Trading, like CME Group, was forced to make the challenging transition from a trading firm to a technology firm. Over the last
decade, I have guided WH Trading through a major expansion as we built an electronic, automated trading operation that has also served to enhance and grow our robust floor trading operation. However, the advancement of technology and the evolution
of the financial markets is a never-ending process, and in the coming decade the ability to adapt to changes, some of which we cannot currently predict, will dictate survival and success. I know what it takes to survive and thrive amidst change, and
as a Board member, I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the Exchange and its members are best prepared for the next systemic change.
I
am running because the Board of Directors continued to need a member who has a diverse trading background that includes open outcry, electronic, over the counter and options trading experience.
I have traded on all of these execution venues
and understand the issues, benefits and market structure implications associated with each. With options trading comprising approximately 20% of CME Groups overall volume, its members deserve a Board member who truly understands the critical
issues, complex market structure and pressing problems facing options traders. My 25 years of option trading, risk management, and strategic planning provides a necessary voice on the Board of Directors as open outcry, exchange matching engines and
voice brokers all compete for options volume. Finally, WH Trading holds memberships at CME, CBOT, NYMEX, and COMEX, which provides me with a holistic perspective of CME Group and the unique challenges and opportunities that face CME members.
I am running because I understand the importance of strong relationships.
Over the past decade I have worked to advocate on behalf of, and
preserve the interests of, the trading industry. Annually I travel to Washington, DC, to advocate on behalf of CME Group where I participate in informational sessions with SEC and CFTC commissioners, House and Senate Committees, and Congressional
Leadership. In 2014, I participated in an intimate meeting with then-Speaker of the House John Boehner to ensure that CME Groups interests were represented and its legislative priorities advanced. I understand the importance of strong
relationships with Washington, and as a result I was solicited to serve as a CME PAC Board of Director, working to ensure that support is given to candidates to guarantee their education and understanding of CME Group.
Should you have any questions, or would like to chat, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Please visit

As seen in:
CME Campaign Letter:
REWIND/FAST FORWARD
Mark Twain said
that, History doesnt repeat itself, but it often rhymes. My late father, Brian Monieson (BPM) former Chairman of the CME (1983 - 1985) ran for the board in 1982 with this letter entitled
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
.
The letter began with the following:
Coming Soon! From the same people who gave you the hit smash:
N.Y. STOCK EXCHANGE SEATS PLUNGE FROM $540,000 TO $34,000
GOODBODY BROKERAGE FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY
BROKERAGE
INCOME DROPS 55% UNDER NEGOTIATED COMMISSIONS
MERRILL LYNCH WILL MAKE THEIR OWN MARKETS
ONE-MINUTE TIME STAMPING REGULATION STRANGLING OUR FIRMS
Sound familiar? Competition, consolidation, and regulation once again threaten our industry. With thirty years of trading experience and memberships on the
CME, CBOT, NYMEX and COMEX this is a chart pattern I have seen before. With a nod to a current sci-fi blockbuster steeped in its own history, we must again awaken the force within that which is our membership. Together:
We Must Introduce New Products
I built my career on new product innovation. I am a founding member of the NASDAQ100 futures pit. I have also
been an active market maker in many exchange initiatives including Rolling Spot, Mexican IPC, and EuroS&P contracts. We need to continue to expand our product suite and launch new products for our membership.
We Must Expand our Customer Base
As Chairman of the Board of Hyde Park Angels, the largest member-run angel group in the Midwest, I helped the
CME Group Foundation build relationships with Cambridge University in London and Tsinghua University in China. These relationships in turn provide research partners in Europe and Asia that can spearhead new product innovation and expand customer
reach.
We Must Build our Base of Liquidity Providers
As a second generation CME Group member and an active electronic trader, I understand
the value of liquidity providers in our markets. We must continue to recognize our largest providers, but also develop and nurture relationships with those groups and firms that are up and coming.
We Must Demand Clarity around Rules and Regulations
The biggest hurdle that our industry faces today is the broad-based interpretation of rules
by our regulators that can impact the liquidity of our markets. As an actively engaged member of the CME PAC Committee since 2006, I continue to watch our voices gain attention in Washington. Also, I have worked with several FinTech startups that
strive to provide new alternatives to managing compliance and regulatory obligations and streamlining post-trade processing.
When considering the
opportunity to run for the Board of Directors for the CME Group, I was told this would be a popularity contest that favors the incumbents. To be elected I would have to make phone calls, give campaign trinkets, get references, and write personal
messages.
Nonsense. Our exchanges and its diverse membership understand that to successfully respond to industry challenges, new voices must be heard. We can no longer rest on our laurels. I am deeply
committed to our exchange and ask you to support an old name and new face to serve as your elected Class B-1 Director.

People volunteering together in the spirit of cooperation
can accomplish great things
-Ben
Franklin
Hyde Park Angels is one of the premier midwest early stage investor groups that connects entrepreneurs and members through financial and human
capital to foster successful outcomes for members, companies and communities
Doug Monieson is Chairman of the board of Hyde Park Angels, one of the
largest and most active member-driven angel group in the Midwest. With a membership of over 100 successful entrepreneurs, executives, and venture capitalists, the organization prides itself on providing not only capital, but also critical strategic
expertise to entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurial community.
By leveraging the members deep and broad knowledge of multiple industries and
financial capital, Hyde Park Angels has driven multiple exits and invested millions of dollars in over 40 portfolio companies that have created over 850 jobs in the Midwest since 2007. Mr. Monieson became a Hyde Park Angels investor in
2008, and will continue as Chairman until his term expires in June 2016.
Doug was an outstanding asset in the process of establishing an angel fund: he
is a savvy investor who asks the right questions, gets at tough issues, and sees matters through to resolution.
DONNA ZARCONE
PRESIDENT AND CEO OF ECONOMICS CLUB OF CHICAGO
The first deal
Mr Monieson led at HPA in 2008 was an investment in Gradebeam, a pioneer of Software as a Service in the construction industry. Investing in a construction company during the greatest recession in our lifetime was both challenging and rewarding. The
investment thesis was that our customers, Americas largest General Contractors, would embrace technology during an economic slowdown to drive down costs and improve efficiencies. Led by an outstanding CEO and board of industry insiders, we
doubled revenues and were acquired in 2011 by Textura Corporation (TXTR).
Through Dougs leadership with the investment of Hyde Park Angels,
GradeBeam.com was able to significantly increase revenue and market share which resulted in a successful exit for the investors.

JEREMY PERLOW
CME Member (JAIR)
Class B-1
Shareholder
2016 Nominee Board of Directors
|
Dear Fellow Class B-1 Shareholders,
I am honored to announce I am seeking your support in the Class B-1 Board of Directors election. It has truly been an amazing journey for me. I remember the
day as if it were yesterday. I was a kid and my father took me onto the exchange floor. When I walked onto the floor, I knew this was where I belonged. That first time walking onto the exchange was one of the greatest experiences of my life.
I am a second-generation member of the CME Group. In 1982, I started working on the trading floor as a runner and then a phone clerk. I became a member of the
exchange in 1988. Working alongside my father, Leo R. Perlow, I was taught to have respect for the market and the floor community as a whole. I believe these values have attributed to my longevity in the business and earned me the esteem of my
fellow members.
Being a Floor Broker and Trader on the CME has afforded me so many great experiences. Over the course of my
career I have worked alongside my peers with integrity and great pride. Our industry is continuously evolving. Due to my background in computer sciences, I have been able to adapt and evolve with the advancement of technology in our industry. These
experiences and my background in computer sciences make me a prime candidate to serve on the CME Group Board of Directors.
In addition to my history with
CME Group, I have a diverse background in computer programming. I previously served on the CMEs Technology and Communications Committee at the introduction of electronic trading and the launch of the Globex platform. I am proficient in
computer technology and founded a business specializing in building and developing web-based applications. I have designed and programmed software and have extensive experience in all aspects of IT, including managing an internet based company. When
considering my election to the board, my ability in this area is a valuable asset.
While my expertise in technology is a reliable foundation for
embracing the electronic trading platform, my first concern is to safeguard the principles traditionally upheld by our members. It is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to establish efficient monitoring capabilities, including management
and auditing of high-frequency trading. Serving on the Board of Directors would allow direct involvement in creating, implementing and monitoring the guidelines designed to guarantee the safety and security of electronic trading. Although it is
possible for the two methods of trading to successfully co-exist, my core belief is that human governance remains necessary to chaperone technology.
As
we continue a strong momentum toward growth and expansion, the primary focus of CME Group is to distinguish the Exchange as a global pioneer by raising the bar with technology. Strengthening visibility through aggressive marketing and communications
initiatives are crucial. My goal is to create long-term value and security for our clients, members, and shareholders.
It is critical that Board Members
possess more diversity, fresh, innovative ideas, and the integrity to execute the initiatives that will create positive change on behalf of all members, shareholders and participants of the Exchange. The Exchange has become a tech company focus on
commodity trading which is why my background would serve to help the Exchange compete for growth. My priority as an elected Board Member would be to fulfill the responsibility of representing the interests of all stakeholders.
It is an honor to be nominated by my fellow members, and I value the opportunity to serve as your Class B-1 Director. I am committed to achieving our shared
goals; maintaining transparency and integrity in the marketplace, initiating security guidelines and advancing CME Group toward the forefront of global branding.
I humbly ask for your vote in the upcoming Class B-1 Shareholders election and look forward to a prosperous
future.
|
Respectfully,
|
|

Dear Friends, members and shareholders,
Time for the annual CME Directors election again and we need you to vote. Your vote is important and I hope you will continue to support me as one of
your experienced Class B-1 directors.
Why should you vote? Whats at stake?
The first time I ran for the Board, in 1999, I wrote in my letter to the membership: Two of the toughest
issues that we have ever faced are immediately at hand. The CME was about to convert to a for-profit entity while at the same time
ride the tidal wave of technological change thats sweeping the business
landscape
Since that time, while the nation has gone thru the ups and downs of war, the Great Recession and wide
ranging
political
uncertainly, CME has emerged as a major pillar of the derivatives industry around which continue to swirl what are for us the great questions of the day.
What is the role of the free markets we created in a post-industrial economy? How will the continued evolution of technology change them and the
traditional role many of us filled as liquidity providers? What must the response of the CME and of those of us who still have a stake in its future be to the seemingly unending incursions of state, federal and international regulatory agencies
into our markets?
These are questions that are as poignant today as were those I posed in 1999.
It is not time for on the job training that the current annual board election cycle regrettably calls for. The CME, now designated as
a Systemically Important Financial Market Utility (
SIFMU
), cannot afford to experiment. I have been co-chair of the Clearing House Risk Committee since 2004 and am dedicated to ensuring that our Clearing House
continues to be safe and sound. More than ever, Membership holders need Board members who understand the ongoing and complex process of running the largest and most diverse exchange in the world. Traders, member firms and regulators alike need to
know that they can rely on the continuity and stability that CME has provided thru good times and bad.
My 40 years at the exchange, from runner,
to trader, to Director, have allowed me to find a balance between service to the members and customers and overall profitability each are impossible without the other.
Those of us who have stayed, who still own memberships and perhaps CME equity as well, know that markets for both ebb and flow. While interest rates,
volatility and inflation are currently at historic lows, our exchange is positioned better than any other to take advantage when the pendulum inevitably swings back. With a strong foothold in Europe and Asia, CMEs potential for growth is
significant and, while as a floor trader I found the adjustment to full time electronic trading difficult, I believe that membership values will benefit disproportionately when they do.
I have worked hard to bring a member, trader, and at the same time, shareholder perspective to the Board. I hope to continue to do this. Please
use the coming proxies to vote and show your confidence in me to help your exchange navigate into the future.

Respectfully

Hello CME Members and fellow Class B-2 Shareholders,
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter regarding our upcoming election. This is a very important election for numerous reasons and it is imperative
that we as Class B shareholders exercise our right to vote and let our voices be heard!
As I talk to owners every day who come from different walks of life and have varying interests in their IMM share holdings, I have heard many ideas and
concerns. More than anything, I realize that we all have skin in the game and it is important that we stay involved through our elected Class B Directors in this ever evolving business.

|
|
As a Board member, I would feel it was my responsibility to seek conversation and debate regarding cost to our customers who
create and shape the industry, incentives to draw in users from all over the world, competitive equality to all participants, and of course our always astute stand regarding excessive regulation. These are all hot topics that need serious
consideration for future business expansion.
Furthermore, I am focused on creating an atmosphere that encourages the user to expand their volume as well
as expanding the population of new traders.
I am running for this position because I believe I am uniquely qualified. I have been and continue to be a
full time active Floor Member since 1985 and have served on numerous exchange committees over the years. As a long-time Floor Member of CME, I have participated as the Exchange and its members experienced great success as well as weathered
challenging times, and witnessed some great leadership and foresight. Ive watched the leadership advocate for our interests to prevent over-regulation as well as knowing when to grow and expand as success demanded. This type of foresight is
the cornerstone of CME Group as well as the CME exchange, which we all had a hand in building. If I wasnt running for the Board, I would vote for and support a nominee that still works full time on the floor.
I invite each of you to contact me directly anytime to talk and share your ideas for the direction of CME Group. I encourage you to stay involved and up to
date on current issues. I ask you to seriously consider whether you are satisfied with the current status quo or would like to see new a voice as your Class B Director who understands your unique interests?
Lastly, I ask for your VOTE!

Dear Membership:
My name is Ron
Pankau, I am up for re-election to the CME Group Board of Directors as a Class B-2 Director. I have served on the Board since 2011.
I would like you to continue to support me with your vote.
Based on my background and trading experience, I have brought to the Board room an understanding of the issues facing our markets from the large liquidity
providers to the individual trader. When making a decision, as a Board member and determining what is in the best interest for the organization, I consider the impact to all stake holders. I truly believe that CME Groups best assets are the
people who use its products and participate in its market place on a daily basis.
I have been a market maker at the CME Group for over 30 years. I know
what makes markets work and I will work to bring innovation and improvements to CME Group. My goal is to continue to make us the best place in the world to mitigate and manage risk. We must continue to be cost efficient, user friendly, and on the
technological forefront in order to continue our leadership in our industry. Balancing risk is an ever evolving industry and I am focused on preserving confidence in our market place and demonstrating the value of being a CME member.
CME Group continues to be where people come to manage risk and I witnessed its commitment to customer service
first hand in connection with the closing of the futures trading floors (with the exception of the S & P futures). I worked to help in the transition for many of our members who are still some of our most valued customers. I believe these
members will continue to hold high value and I have worked tirelessly to be a liaison between our customers and management.
I have the experience to
continue to serve as your Class B-2 Director and you will find me very responsive to you.
CME Group has performed well both as a valued public corporation
and as a service provider. If re-elected, I will to continue to ensure management is held accountable to these high standards.
Thank you for your
consideration,
Ronald A. Pankau
Member and
Director CME Group

Dear Fellow Class B-2 Shareholder:
Once again, I seek your support and vote for the election to the Board of Directors of CME Group Inc.
I have had the privileged opportunity to serve as your elected Class B-2 Board member for the past thirteen years on the CME Group Board of Directors. The
past few years have been challenging with only a mild recovery in the credit markets, regulatory and legislative issues, and excessive government regulations.
As we enter a new year, many of the global economic problems are still working their way through the system. As we go forward, I feel that we are well
positioned to be the product of choice for institutions, speculators, funds, and investors. Our diverse product mix will allow CME Group to lead the way as the economy recovers.
Now is not the time to rest on our past laurels. It is the time for us to take stock of what we have accomplished and build from there. We need to address the
following issues:
|
|
|
Principal Trading Groups (PTG) We need to continue to promote our ability to grow organically. PTGs accounted for a significant amount of the exchanges liquidity the past few years, but more growth is still
needed.
|
|
|
|
Hedge and Mutual Funds We need to continue to market to hedge and mutual funds emphasizing our transparency and central counterparty clearing to restore confidence in the financial markets to their clients.
|
|
|
|
Global Positioning Through our strategic partnerships around the world we are in a strong position to take advantage of a new wave of customers and international products.
|
|
|
|
Legislative Issues More than ever, it is important to tell our story to Congress. I have served as Vice-Chairman of the CME PAC and have hosted many of the Congressional visits through the past years. The
transaction tax, position limits, allegations of speculators causing volatility and the threat to losing 60/40 tax treatment will be more pressing than ever before.
|
During my service on the Board, I always attempted to be open-minded, logical, rational, and above all fair. My previous terms on the Board and many various
committees have given me the experience and leadership qualities required for the position (see attached resume). I pledge to you my time, dedication, and commitment to serving CME Group. I will continue to live in the city during the week for the
term of the directorship. This will make me accessible to you, the shareholder, at any time of the day or night. I can be reached by phone at 312-604-6114 or cell at 312-714-5907.
Sincerely,

Dear IMM Member/Class B-2 Shareholder,
I have had the
privilege of being a business partner with Dave Wescott for over 25 years. I can personally testify that his moral and business ethics are above reproach. He has tremendous experience at the Board level and has tirelessly chaired and served on many
of our most influential committees.
I, along with you, have witnessed the dedication and commitment that Dave has to CME Group. Dave is willing to reach
out to all members to discuss any and all topics no matter how divisive.
Dave is a Director who speaks with a strong clear voice; I believe he has made a
positive contribution at the Board level and can be counted on to put the shareholders first.
Dave has been an equity member of CME for over 30 years. He
has been personally responsible for guaranteeing a number of proprietary traders and has helped to finance the purchases of exchange memberships. Currently, Dave is a Managing Partner of the DWG Futures, LLC.
I hope you agree with me that we could not find a better individual to serve as our Class B-2 director. Please join me in supporting Dave in the upcoming
election. If you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me. If you would like to meet with Dave, I would be happy to arrange a meeting at your convenience.
Thank you for your support in this matter.
Sincerely,
Michael Dowd

Dear IMM Member/Class B-2 Shareholder,
In times of upheaval and uncertainty it is imperative to have solid, experienced leadership with forward-looking vision, influence, and the ability to
execute initiatives crucial to our business. An effective leader is unafraid to voice a dissenting opinion and fight for what he believes is right. In the years I have known him, David J. Wescott has continuously proven himself to be such a leader
with his incredible dedication, tireless hard work, industry insight and fierce loyalty to his clients, constituents, employees, and friends.
I have
known David Wescott since 1982, when we were young traders on the CME floor and I also had the privilege of serving on the CME board with David for four years during the 1990s. I have continued my relationship with him throughout the ensuing years
and cleared the trades of my own trading firm through Dowd-Wescott Group, the precursor clearing firm to Davids current clearing firm, DWG Futures. In my now 30+ year relationship with David Wescott, I have found him to be incisive, creative,
and results-oriented. David has never been in favor of the status quo; his capacity for reinvention and constant drive to innovate, combined with his capability to anticipate trends, is an invaluable asset to the future of CME Group.
We all know how quickly our business moves. Yesterdays losses may be tomorrows gains if we make the right decisions today. I have absolute
confidence that Davids leadership is a step toward a prosperous future. I hope you will join me in supporting David Wescott in his bid to serve as our elected Class B-2 director on the CME Group Board of Directors by voting for his
re-election.
Sincerely,

Dear Fellow Members and Class B Shareholders,
For those of you that dont know me, my name is James Zellinger. For those of you who do, you know me as an executive who has been involved in day-to-day
operations, long term planning and the mentoring of future managers and traders. I bring 50+ years of futures and option experience, from chalk boards to fiber and microwave. I am in contact with the trading community on a daily basis. If elected, I
will bring this experience to the Board of Directors for CME Group. During those years, I held various upper level management positions at Merrill Lynch, Hennessy Associates/Barnes, Globex Corp., Transmarket, Mizuho, Advantage Futures and currently
as Senior VP at Wedbush. My strengths lie in streamlining and automating operations, and in building a strong diverse customer base. I feel honored to be nominated to serve as a Class B-2 Director on the Board. I feel in order to continue to grow
volumes and generate overall shareholder value we need to be an advocate for our most precious commodities; our customers, our Exchange members and FCMs. Our industry and our exchange have been my life and I would like to share my accumulated
knowledge with the CME for all it has done for me.
My experience at Globex Corp. has given me a unique perspective of both sides of the electronic
trading coin. I have been able to see how the ever increasing sophistication of trading platforms can impact the ability of the Globex system to perform its function. On the other side, Ive seen the implications to the users of those platforms
when the Exchange imposes new rules and restrictions. My main objective is to help CME Group and the members/FCMs work together to create a harmonious relationship to the betterment of everyone involved.
Some of the issues I feel need to be addressed are listed below:
|
|
|
Fee Structure
Evaluate the fee structure for harmonization and effectiveness to drive volume for the Company and enhance customer satisfaction while looking into ways to streamline the fee
reconciliation process.
|
|
|
|
Regulatory Obligations
Discuss ways to alleviate some of the regulatory burdens on our customer base, such as the capital restrictions on prop firms.
|
|
|
|
Foster Trader Loyalty
With new exchanges competing for traders, there is a need to create an atmosphere where the trader feels his concerns are being taken seriously by CME Group.
|
|
|
|
New Trader Development
Propose the formation of a program to help train new traders. In the past we had the MID America exchange as a feeder and members at the CME and CBOT mentored their clerks to
provide an opportunity for them to become traders.
|
I have only touched upon the above points that I feel need further discussion. My hope
is that I will be able to expound on these and other topics as an elected member of the Board of Directors for the CME Group.
Sincerely yours,
James Zellinger

Dear Fellow Class B-3 Shareholder,
It has been an
incredible year for the CME Group and I have been honored to serve as your elected Class B-3 Director. Soon you will receive the proxy materials containing your Class B-3 share proxy card and control number to vote your shares. Your vote is crucial
in making your voice heard and choosing the best person for the Board of Directors. By voting for me, you will be choosing a skilled leader with over 37 years of industry experience who understands your interests and will once again be an effective
participant on the Board.
The CME Group is experiencing record volume and open interest in FX and Eurodollar options. Since 1985, I have owned
three companies specializing in options on futures - this is a key area of my expertise. I am the best candidate for the Board because options on futures are fundamental to the growth of our exchange.
My accomplishments on the Board have been, and I will continue to focus on:
|
|
|
Promoting new product development such as the successful launches of the new Ultra 10-Year Treasury Note futures and Interest Rate Swaption Clearing,
|
|
|
|
Monitoring and overseeing the enhancement of CME Groups information security program to address the ever-increasing cyber security risk our industry faces as an appointed member of the Boards Risk
Committee
|
|
|
|
Keeping a trained and watchful eye on Exchange fees and costs to stay competitive in the global marketplace.
|
I have been an equity owner since 1983 and one of the few female members of the CME Group. Since 1988, I have been actively involved in improving the CME
Groups operating environment as a member of numerous committees. Currently, I serve on the Boards Risk Committee, as well as serving as the co-chair of Arbitration and Floor Conduct. Additionally, I am an active member of Probable Cause,
Business Conduct, Membership, and Gratuity Fund.
I am also an active member of the CME PAC and volunteer for Honor Flight Chicago and the ALS
Association, which demonstrates not only my commitment to my trading career but my support of the overall community.
I thank you for the support and encouragement Ive received during my first term on the CME Group Board
of Directors, and I look forward to serving you again. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, or to discuss any issue in greater detail.

Dear Fellow Class
B-3 Shareholder,
It is time again to vote for the CME Group Board of Directors - our opportunity to be elect an individual to serve as our Class B-3
director. Please consider supporting me.
After spending two summers clerking for the Cashman family at the Board of Trade, I began my trading career 28
years ago. I am an S&P trader with a flawless record as an independent trader. I traded in many of our pits, including the Nasdaq, Crude Oil, and the D-Mark; the S&P is still my home. I have 20+ years of committee experience and 15+ years
managing, sponsoring and training new traders. I still trade every day.
Outside of trading, I am an entrepreneur in fields from small businesses to
nonprofits. I own and manage Snippets Minicuts, a Chicago area five store chain of childrens hair salons. I also own and manage a vacation property rental business. For the past seven years, I have volunteered as the business development board
member of Aspiritech, a Highland Park based nonprofit organization that helps businesses employ autistic adults in software testing. I am very proud of the work we do. My three children attended the same grammar and high school I did, and I served
as the treasurer of the District 112 School Board Foundation.
I am not affiliated with a firm or trading group
; I am beholden to no one particular firm or trading
group, which allows me to impartially bring to the Board room my knowledge, experience and trading background. My interests are completely aligned with yours: My concerns are your concerns. I will listen to your ideas with the goal of making CME
Group better. The CME has been my life long career and ensuring the long-term value of CME Group is my top priority.
Your vote is critical.
