ADVISORY, Aug. 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued under the same headline earlier today by The NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:NDAQ) the headline and first sentence of the second paragraph under the "What:" section, should read "Closing Bell" rather than "Opening Bell" as previously stated.

The corrected release follows:
