Neonet to offer trading access to the new alternative market BATS Europe

Neonet, the global provider of neutral, direct market access (DMA) brokerage
services and trading technology, will offer access to the new alternative
market, BATS Europe. Neonet already offers trading at BATS US and will offer
access to BATS' European Markets division for its buy- and sell-side clients
upon the platform's target launch in November.

Trading in Europe is undergoing a period of rapid transformation, and BATS
Europe represents a new generation of trading platforms. BATS was launched in
the US in January 2006 as one of the fastest-growing, top-tier equity markets -
it has more than a 10 percent matched share of the US market - and is now
expanding into Europe. BATS recently received approval from the US Securities
and Exchange Commission to become a national securities exchange, and will go
live as an exchange in October. 

Mark Hemsley chief executive of BATS' European Markets division, said ”We are
pleased to further our relationship with Neonet and look forward to the
significant order flow this agreement is likely to bring. BATS Europe aims to
follow a similar roadmap to its US counterpart and we are excited about the
opportunity to Make Markets Better here.” 

“As the global capital markets continue to evolve, you can be confident in
Neonet to offer trading at the most competitive and liquid marketplaces. Neonet
blends the order books of traditional exchanges and alternative marketplaces
into a river of liquidity to ensure that transactions are made at the best
possible price across multiple markets. We are thrilled to extend our relations
with BATS as they bring their offering to Europe,” states Simon Nathanson, CEO
and President of Neonet.

By adding BATS Europe to its offering of over 30 global marketplaces, Neonet
offers its clients global liquidity across the traditional exchanges and the new
alternative markets.
