Orc expands Eastern European offering with connectivity to the Ljubljana
Stock Exchange

Stockholm, SWEDEN, Thursday February 3, 2011 - Orc Software (SSE: ORC),
the leading provider of technology and services for the global financial
industry, today announced it now provides connectivity to the Ljubljana
Stock Exchange (LJSE) based on the XETRA Vienna technical platform.

Since its acquisition in June 2008 by the Vienna Stock Exchange, LJSE
has continued to operate on proprietary trading systems. Completing the
integration with the CEE Stock Exchange Group (CEESEG), LJSE is
migrating to XETRA. This way, LJSE is becoming an easily accessible,
internationally comparable and competitive market. The implementation of
XETRA is expected to create additional interest from international
trading members and investors for Slovene equity.

“Orc's commitment to expanding our offering across the Eastern European
markets has been welcomed by our customers,” said Christopher Lederer,
VP Sales Continental Europe, Orc Software. “With the addition of LJSE on
the XETRA trading system, we expand our global reach and can offer the
full range of sophisticated trading technology to existing customers
within a growing market, while offering local market participants the
latest technology off the shelf.”

LJSE also expects that over the medium-term, XETRA will boost liquidity
on the domestic market, with key benefits for exchange members and
investors:

  · Simplify remote members' access to LJSE and thus attract
international portfolio investors
  · Foster new listings of financial instruments and thus widen the
scope of LJSE-listed financial instruments
  · Facilitate additional and improved services, including liquidity
provisioning
  · Enable LJSE members easier access to other markets.

Orc Software is next exhibiting in Italy at the 17° AIAF ASSIOM ATIC
FOREX Congress in Verona on February 25-27.
