Knowledge Technology Solutions PLC 16 January 2008 BORSE BERLIN/EQUIDUCT SELECTS KTS FOR MARKET DATA WEB PORTAL KTS Plc, a leading provider of real-time market data solutions, today announces that it has been selected by Borse Berlin to develop and provide ongoing hosting for the Web Portal giving online access to real-time market data produced by Equiduct, its new Pan European Stock Exchange market. The system will be accessible via the Borse Berlin/Equiduct website from April 2008 enabling users to view the Equiduct VBBO (Virtual Best Bid/Offer). Pre and post trade data from its Hybrid and PartnerEx market segments will come online in mid 2008. 'We have chosen an established market data vendor for this project to avoid 'reinventing the wheel' and to enable us to concentrate on providing the best quality exchange services for our participants. We have found a partner who will be responsive to our evolving needs and one with whom we can work together to enhance and build a truly beneficial source of data for our clients.' says Rob Brouwer, Chief Information Officer, Equiduct. Andrew Miller, CEO of KTS, comments: 'The financial markets are evolving rapidly to include many non-traditional execution venues. KTS supports the innovation of firms like Borse Berlin/Equiduct by providing tailored solutions for the consolidation and display of market data along with a managed hosting service.' 'Borse Berlin/Equiduct will be an important venue resulting from the regulatory changes introduced by MiFID. Our selection is evidence of our strong positioning and ability to address these and other large scale opportunities. As the first commercial project to use both Arcontech's low-latency middleware and KTS's proven flexible, browser delivered display technology, it represents an endorsement of our strategy to combine these two businesses. We are delighted to be part of this venture.' adds Miller. Artur Fischer, Chief Executive Officer, Borse Berlin adds 'We believe that the Equiduct VBBO will become the European benchmark price as part of each investment firm's equity best execution policy. The full depth of the virtual book, from which the VBBO is derived, will be used to calculate volume weighted execution prices as part of the PartnerEx segment of the Borse Berlin/Equiduct market thus differentiating Equiduct VBBO from other consolidated data feeds.' - Ends - For more information, please contact: Knowledge Technology Solutions Plc Andrew Miller, Chief Executive Officer 020 7256 2300 Borse Berlin / Equiduct Wendy Gyngell wendy.gyngell@equiduct.eu Blue Oar Securities Plc Mike Coe / Marc Davies 0117 933 0020 Smithfield Katie Hunt / Will Henderson 020 7360 4900 Kelso Consulting Angelina Hunt / Tim Prizeman 020 7242 2272 About Borse Berlin Borse Berlin has consistently aligned its service offerings to the requirements of modern exchange trading.
