 OMX signs contract with the Cairo & Alexandria Stock Exchanges to deliver new trading 
system 

 OMX, a leading expert in the exchange industry, has signed an agreement with the 
Cairo & Alexandria Stock Exchanges (CASE), the Egyptian Exchange and Exchange Technology 
group, to provide a new trading system in order to enhance CASEs IT infrastructure. 


 Under the terms of the contract, OMX will be the system provider for the license, 
customization, implementation and support of CASEs new trading system. 

 To be chosen to deliver the trading technology to the Cairo & Alexandria Stock 
Exchanges is an acknowledgement of our position as a leading global provider of 
market technology. Equally as important, it is an opportunity to strengthen our 
position in the Middle East and Africa, which is a highly interesting region of 
growth for OMX. This is the continuation of a technology partnership to further 
develop both parties and contributing to develop the financial markets in Egypt 
in particular, said Magnus Böcker, President and CEO, OMX. 

 We are delighted to partner with OMX, which will provide us with CASEs Next Generation 
Trading System. We needed a technological overhaul because of our rapid growth, 
combined with what we expect to be dramatic changes in the Egyptian securities industry 
in the next few years. CASE based its decision not only on system performance targets 
but also reliability, robustness, stability, flexibility, adaptability, scalability, 
highly proven, cost to operate, and time-to-market factors. The OMX solution was 
very strong on each of these criteria, said Maged Shawky, Chairman of CASE.
