Cinnober to provide ASX with new trading system

Australia’s major equities and derivatives markets will adopt a common
technology platform architecture
The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) has now announced that it has selected
Cinnober for a major upgrade to its trading technology. Cinnober’s state-of-the
-art TRADExpress Trading System (http://www.cinnober.com/tradexpress-trading
-system) will replace ASX’s equities and derivatives systems with a common,
multi-currency, multi-asset class solution.

The new ASX trading system, when built on Cinnober’s highly flexible and
functionality-rich platform, will be easily extended and highly scalable, and
will facilitate cost-efficient operations and fast time-to-market for new
products and services.

“Consolidating ASX’s current trading technologies onto a common platform
architecture will drive efficiencies and positive synergies for both our
customers and the exchange," says Tim Thurman, Chief Information Officer of ASX.
"A major project like this requires a partner with a strong track record across
a range of markets. This solution will give ASX greater flexibility and allow us
to add functions and services faster. We look forward to building a strong
partnership with Cinnober.”

ASX (http://www.asx.com.au/) is one of the world’s leading exchange groups,
offering a full suite of services that includes listing, trading, clearing and
settlement, across a wide range of asset classes. Using the best available
technology and delivering the right solutions to its clients are priorities for
the exchange. ASX is the first major financial market to open each day, and its
markets rank consistently in the top ten in the world.

“Winning ASX in fierce competition is a terrific way to kick off the year,”
comments Cinnober’s CEO, Veronica Augustsson. “We have demonstrated that our
solution is best able to quickly fulfill the needs of ASX, both in terms of
functional scope and quality. ASX presents us with yet another challenging
technology project at one of the largest exchanges in the world, which we are
looking forward to as we build a long and positive relationship.”
