Derivatives Market

Stockholm and Milan, Wednesday, June 22, 2011 - Orc Group (SSE: ORC),
the leading provider of technology and services for the global financial
industry, today announced that Milan-based investment bank Banca Aletti
has selected Orc Liquidator, Orc's server-based automated trading

Orc's licensing subscription model.

Banca Aletti is the Private and Investment Bank of the Banco Popolare

expanded the usage of the Orc solution moving from market making on the
Securitized Derivatives Exchange on to all Italian and some major
European markets, both via membership and non-membership market access.

“Banca Aletti needed a solution that easily allows implementation of our
proprietary quoting strategies together with real time management of
standard trading parameters like position, risk and volatility,”
comments Alessandro Garufi, Head of Equity Structured Products at Banca
Aletti. “Orc Liquidator has met our organization's growing requirements
for a fully automated solution that is flexible and scalable, reliable
and performing at the same time.”

“After trying Orc Liquidator first hand, Banca Aletti realized the
product's innate potential and how it can contribute to further
expanding the bank's market share,” notes Daniele Moressa, Sales Manager
at OrcItaly. “We are confident that with Orc Liquidator, Banca Aletti
has chosen a solution that will allow them to stay competitive and to
further grow their business to more products and markets.
