NEW YORK (AP) -- The Nasdaq stock exchange is chipping in more money to reimburse investment firms that lost money when online social network Facebook went public in May because computer glitches delayed their trading orders.

The revised proposal announced late Friday calls for Nasdaq to pay $62 million to firms ensnared in the breakdown. That's up from the $40 million pool that Nasdaq initially announced seven weeks ago.

The exchange says all the payments will now be in cash instead of trading credits as envisioned under the original program. The trading credit provision had riled the New York Stock Exchange, which attacked the plan as an attempt to entice firms to defect to the rival Nasdaq exchange.

Nasdaq says more firms will be eligible for reimbursement under its new proposal, too.
