Neonet offers Dark Liquidity Trading

Neonet, the global provider of execution services and trading technology, today
announces that it has started to offer access to dark liquidity, thereby
strengthening its buy-side offering further. The most recent addition is
SmartPool, the multi-lateral trading facility set up by NYSE Euronext in
partnership with J.P. Morgan, HSBC and BNP Paribas.

With the addition of SmartPool, Neonet offers access to dark liquidity on six
venues including Chi-Delta, Neuro Dark, Turquoise's Dark Pool, Xetra Mid Point
and Ireland Stock Exchange. Additional venues will be added going forward.

“Europe's market structure continues to evolve and dark liquidity is getting
more integrated into the trading environment. Neonet solves the complexity of
the increasingly fragmented trading by aggregating the dark and lit liquidity.
We offer access to over 35 market places and to dark liquidity on six venues and
we are very happy to add SmartPool to our liquidity offering,” states Simon
Nathanson, CEO and President of Neonet. “We do this to honour our commitment to
our clients and the market to offer efficient trading that is simple and quick
to use”.

“We are delighted to welcome Neonet to our SmartPool community and look forward
to working closely together as we develop the SmartPool offering” said Lee
Hodgkinson, CEO of SmartPool Trading.

SmartPool is a London-based dark pool, regulated by the FSA. It offers trading
in approximately 1,000 equities across 15 European markets. Neonet's buy-side
clients gain access to SmartPool via Neonet's suite of algorithms, Execution
Specialists or its direct market access (DMA) systems. Neonet integrates trading
on Dark Pools into the company's Smart Order Routing and algorithmic trading
strategies.
