<p><strong>London, 1st July 2010</strong> – SunGard has extended its Valdi Market Access offering to provide financial firms with an ASP-based connectivity service to EuroTLX, an Italian-based European Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) that specializes in fixed income trading.</p>
<p>The new service will be fully integrated with Valdi&#8217;s hosted smart order routing technology as well as ASP market access services to other fixed income venues, including Borsa Italiana&#8217;s MOT and Hi-MTF. With the service, SunGard’s Valdi Liquidity Solutions suite can help customers to better comply with best execution principles for fixed income trading &#8211; as it already does for European equities &#8211; making it a true multi-asset class offering.</p>
<p>Angela Fenwick, chief executive officer at EuroTLX, commented: &#8220;The development of smart order routing solutions in the fixed income arena, and their inclusion in the best execution policies of the majority of Italian banks, has allowed EuroTLX to become the principal trading venue in Europe for fixed income instruments targeted to non-professional investors. SunGard&#8217;s Valdi Market Access offering will help facilitate greater access to our marketplace and consequently should help us grow our business.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard&#8217;s global trading business, commented: &#8220;Post-credit crisis, there is increasing interest in fixed income trading in Europe. Trading firms now require greater access to fixed income marketplaces and multi-asset solutions. One of the key challenges in capturing liquidity is to determine which liquidity pools to trade on. SunGard&#8217;s Valdi Market Access is an efficient and cost-effective solution that helps trading firms with connectivity and smart order routing to new trading venues, including fixed income MTFs.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>About EuroTLX</strong></p>
<p>Based in Milan, EuroTLX is the first fixed income market in Europe focused on retail investors, where it is possible to trade more than 3,200 securities, the majority of which are fixed income instruments (government, banking, corporate, financial, emerging markets and supranational bonds), with a selection of investment certificates and American and European equities. Liquidity is provided by the hybrid microstructure of the market, order &amp; quote driven. Every day circa 15,000 trades are executed on EuroTLX with a value of more than €400 million.

<p><strong>London &#8211; June 8th, 2010</strong> &#8211; SunGard has extended its ASP-based market connectivity services by adding the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) Derivatives Market. SunGard’s Valdi Market Access services help exchange members and their direct market access (DMA) clients access and trade on 110 markets worldwide from any SunGard workstation or FIX-enabled application. The extended service will help South African and international firms access and trade JSE Derivatives products simply and cost-effectively.</p>
<p>Valdi Market Access services will help exchange members outsource the activities involved in procuring and managing the hardware, software and telecommunication links required for market access. Users will benefit from 24/7, managed access to local markets.</p>
<p>Warren Geers, general manager of derivatives trading at the JSE, said, &#8220;The JSE has been working with SunGard for many years to provide market participants with enhanced market access and trade processing, and has used SunGard&#8217;s gateway to provide trading on the equity marketplace since 2001. SunGard’s new ASP-based market connectivity for JSE Derivatives will help facilitate greater access to our derivatives products &#8211; futures and options on soft commodities, currency and equities &#8211; which have been growing steadily.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard&#8217;s global trading business, added, &#8220;To help facilitate electronic access to financial markets, SunGard establishes close relationships with exchanges such as the JSE. SunGard&#8217;s presence in South Africa has been long established, with an office in Johannesburg providing support and services, the implementation of a SunGard Global Network hub and a strong relationship with the JSE. Launching the Valdi Market Access service for the JSE Derivatives market is a natural development of SunGard&#8217;s strategy, and supports increasing trading demand in the country.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Paris, 3rd June 2010</strong> – SunGard has expanded the market data content of MarketMap, its multi-asset market data, analysis and information services solution, with the addition of a new global corporate actions data feed from Exchange Data International (EDI), a leading provider of back-office securities and administrative data. According to EDI, the feed covers data for 78,000 equities, 4,100 depository receipts and 2,700 exchange-traded funds.</p>
<p>MarketMap provides access to data from more than 160 global exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) sources. The new consolidated corporate actions feed will help MarketMap customers receive a range of corporate information issued from over 100 countries on the same user interface as the price information, helping keep access simple. It will also help to enrich MarketMap’s securities instrument and time-series databases with comprehensive price history adjustments, as well as merger and acquisition data, changes of ISIN, stock adjustments, capital changes and dividend payments.</p>
<p>Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard&#8217;s global trading business, said, &#8220;There are over 40 different types of corporate action and every stock exchange issues them. On a typical day, up to 100 can be issued for each market. Therefore there are potentially thousands of corporate actions to process and interpret every day. By adding EDI’s global corporate action feed to an increasing range of data sources, MarketMap can help customers save both time and money in accessing and analyzing this data. Its addition is further proof that SunGard’s MarketMap can offer a cost-effective, integrated solution for customers seeking to receive and leverage market data to support investment decisions.&#8221;</p>

<p>London &amp; New York, June 1, 2010 – SunGard is nearly doubling the trading venues and markets its customers can access by bringing together its three global network solutions for routing equities, listed derivatives and fixed income orders to form the SunGard Global Network (SGN). Currently SunGard offers three distinct connectivity and routing solutions for securities, depending on the region and asset class, including the SunGard Transaction Network and BNet in the U.S., and GLNet which has a significant footprint in Europe, Asia and Latin America. GLNet was established by GL Trade which was acquired by SunGard in 2008 and now forms SunGard’s Global Trading business. The ability for customers of each network to access more trading venues and markets helps them accelerate their global growth strategies.</p>
<p>Adam Honore, research director at research and advisory firm, Aite Group, said, “While the appetite for trading in new asset classes and geographies continues to grow, connectivity to new markets remains a significant impediment to many trading firms. A robust trading network is critical to jumpstart firms seeking the most expeditious route to new opportunities.”</p>
<p>Peter Squire, head of IT operations at KBC Securities, said, &#8220;GL Net&#8217;s provision of DMA services for more than 110 global markets has helped us to grow our business across assets and geographies. We look forward to exploring the wider possibilities now opened up by the SunGard Global Network.&#8221;</p>
<p>The SunGard Global Network will comprise several channels for trading various asset classes including SGN Securities, SGN Funds and SGN Short-term Cash Management.</p>
<p>SGN Securities integrates the BNet, GLNet and STN Securities networks, linking more than 1,600 institutional buy-side firms to more than 500 brokers and 110 global markets. SGN Securities helps customers manage the idiosyncrasies of trading in new markets and instruments, helping improve their time-to-market as they grow their businesses globally.</p>
<p>In addition to network connectivity, SGN Securities offers trading services, including message validation, normalization, enrichment and transformation. These services help relieve customers’ initial and on-going burden of supporting changing message protocols, OMS/EMS deployments, and requirements for new capabilities. Customers can also obtain access to real-time market data services, ASP-based market connectivity, and managed services for their FIX connectivity requirements. SGN Securities is built on high-capacity, low-latency, secured links between nearly 30 network hubs deployed in major financial centers worldwide.</p>
<p>SGN Short-Term Cash Management, previously STN Money Markets, helps organizations research, analyze, trade, monitor and report on money market funds and cash equivalents, including more than 200 investment options. SGN Funds, previously STN Funds, connects investors and intermediaries to mutual funds around the world.</p>
<p>Mark Volker, senior vice president of strategy for SunGard’s trading business, said, “New instruments and trading venues, shifting investment strategies and regulatory changes are challenging existing business processes at financial services firms around the world. SGN is helping its community of members overcome these hurdles by providing high-performance connectivity and multi-asset class trading services that help accelerate customers’ growth strategies.”</p>
<p><strong>About SunGard Global Network</strong></p>
<p>A trade automation and connectivity solution, the SunGard Global Network links institutions throughout the financial services value chain, offering services for equities, fixed income, listed derivatives, mutual funds, money market funds and other cash equivalents. The SunGard Global Network helps automate the entire trade lifecycle from order execution through to post-trade processing.

<p><strong>April 19, 2010, New York and London</strong> &#8211; SunGard today launched Valdi, a new trading solutions suite that advances its global strategy to be a leading, neutral provider of integrated transaction processing and compliance solutions for broker-dealers. SunGard’s Valdi helps firms trade multiple asset classes and source new liquidity for growth while managing costs. Valdi provides global trade order management, integrated direct market access, compliance, liquidity solutions and hosted services.</p>
<p>SunGard’s strategy is to help traders become more competitive by providing them with the ability to trade multiple asset classes, while reducing costs by integrating liquidity services, clearing and compliance solutions. In the first phase of its global rollout, SunGard today launched Valdi OMS in the Americas and Valdi hosted smart order routing and liquidity solutions in Europe.</p>
<p>Raj Mahajan, president of SunGard’s trading business, said, “Our strategy is to help broker-dealers generate new revenue and intelligently and cost-effectively navigate the global trading environment. Valdi bolsters that strategy by providing integrated OMS and execution technologies, along with real-time, multi-asset trading activity, exposure and risk information. By focusing on ASP-based delivery models and hosted services, Valdi also helps address our customers’ need for faster deployment with no ongoing maintenance, so that they can focus on revenue-generation and core competencies.”</p>
<p>Derek Penn, managing director at Pershing LLC, a BNY Mellon company, said, &#8220;Many pressures are driving the brokerage community to find solutions that generate economies of scale, provide access to comprehensive liquidity and help discover new revenue opportunities. SunGard’s approach with Valdi will help Pershing better serve its clients by delivering increased transparency, cost efficiencies and access to one of the world’s largest global networks.”</p>
<p>The new Valdi OMS is an integrated, ASP-based, order, execution and risk management system for equities and options trading in the Americas, with integrated functionality for liquidity services, listed options trading and risk management from Assent and MicroHedge, now branded as Valdi Liquidity Solutions and Valdi Options Solutions, respectively. The new Valdi OMS incorporates the best components from the Brass and GL order management systems. SunGard will continue to offer customers support for the Brass OMS.</p>
<p>In Europe, SunGard launched new hosted Valdi services that deliver market-neutral smart order routing and algorithmic trading to broker-dealers, expanding SunGard’s global provision of low-latency, ASP-based market access via GL Stream. Valdi hosted services offer customers a new way to manage costs and reduce technology and operational burdens by providing trading technology as a managed service, coupled with a transaction-based payment model, reducing upfront investment and ongoing technology maintenance costs.</p>
<p>Valdi solutions are complementary to SunGard’s enterprise position control solution, Front Arena, which is used by customers that require a dedicated infrastructure to handle execution to settlement across the capital markets.</p>
<p>Yassine Brahim, president of SunGard’s global trading business, added, “SunGard’s Valdi Liquidity Solutions provide customers with one access point to displayed liquidity across Europe for best execution, offering high-performance DMA, smart routing, algorithms, sponsored access and clearing and settlement services. The provision of these services in a hosted environment will help customers expand their business while better managing the costs of a post-MiFID trading environment.”</p>
