Robert Greifeld would step down as chief executive on 31 December 2016 and become chairman.
Börje Ekholm would leave the chair at year-end and remain a director.
The release was datelined New York.
In 2016 the company's global headquarters was still downtown at One Liberty Plaza, 165 Broadway, not yet at the Times Square MarketSite.
The Wall Street Journal the same night called her the first woman who would lead a major U.S. stock-exchange operator.
She was 47.
The succession statement said the intern of 1993 had moved through data, strategy, finance, a Carlyle detour, and the president and chief operating officer titles.
