Neonet consolidates operations to Stockholm

Neonet, which is part of Orc Group AB, has initiated a reorganization of
its U.S. operations and will close down the New York based trading desk.
The closure of the U.S. trading desk will not impact customers' ability
to trade European and North American markets. All clients will be
offered continued full execution and settlement services from the
Stockholm office.

”By consolidating all of our operations to Stockholm we will be able to
serve our clients even better. This is one of many ongoing initiatives
to solidify our position as the premier execution service provider in
Europe” says Joacim Wiklander, CEO of Neonet Securities.

The reorganization will give rise to restructuring costs of 5 MSEK in
the third quarter 2011. The restructuring is expected to cut operating
expenses with 13 MSEK on an annual basis which will take full effect no
later than the first quarter 2012.
