NEW YORK — A battle for control of the New York Stock Exchange moved into dueling appeals to shareholders Monday, a day after a rival bidder complained that its $11.3 billion bid was rejected without discussion. NYSE Euronext said Sunday that its board decided to turn down an offer from rival Nasdaq OMX Group and IntercontinentalExchange because it was “highly conditional” and would have caused unnecessary risk for shareholders.

Instead, the company reaffirmed its plan to combine with German exchange operator Deutsche Boerse in a $10 billion deal. Nasdaq and IntercontinentalExchange say their bid is “clearly superior.” The Associated Press; AP photo
