The spokesman, Alessandro Pavesi, said the proposal from the London exchange is the only one being considered. Both exchanges have fended off takeover approaches in the last year, and a merger might help them avoid a takeover in the future, said Rupak Ghose, an analyst at Credit Suisse in London. âIt is not surprising that the L.S.E. is looking at different alternatives to become larger and hence avoid becoming acquired,â Mr. Ghose said in a note to investors.
