Implementation of pre-trade anonymity


Starting from November 1, 2007 the Baltic exchanges will discontinue disclosing
member firms' ID codes with orders on the Equities submarket. Market-by-order
information displaying will remain on submarkets. 

With this change the Baltic market will follow the example of the OMX Nordic
Exchange and many other leading exchanges, e.g. LSE, Deutsche Börse, Euronext.
This change is implemented with the purpose of decreasing the risk of market
abuse (front running) and make trading even more attractive for remote members
and price formation more impartial. 

Post-trade transparency is not changed; the counterparties of trades are
disclosed after concluding the trades. Also the pre- and post-trade
transparency of the Fund units and Bonds submarkets remains unchanged.
