Violation Description: Nasdaq Inc., a financial services corporation headquartered in New York, which owns and operates stock exchanges and other businesses worldwide, agreed to pay $4,040,923 to settle its potential civil liability for the conduct of its former wholly owned foreign subsidiary, Nasdaq OMX Armenia OJSC, the former owner and operator of the Armenian Stock Exchange (ASE). In this capacity, Nasdaq OMX Armenia processed trades and settled payments through the ASE platform involving the OFAC-designated Armenian subsidiary of Iran's state-owned Bank Mellat. In doing so, Nasdaq OMX Armenia knowingly engaged in the exportation of services to Iran and the Government of Iran, thereby committing 151 apparent violations of OFAC sanctions on Iran. The settlement amount reflects OFAC's determination that the apparent violations were non-egregious and voluntarily self-disclosed.
