OMX has been selected as the provider and implementer of TOCOM's new integrated
trading and clearing systems. The exchange platform from OMX is based on an
open architecture with Straight-Through-Processing (STP) capabilities. NTT DATA

its ongoing objective to build a high-end exchange platform that meets the
growing needs of both domestic and international investors. 

“We are excited about the many benefits that the new exchange systems from OMX
will bring us. Through the new trading platform we will be able to offer

Ultimately this platform will enable us to grow our exchange and thus improve
our position in the global commodity marketplace,” said Mr. Nangaku, Chairman
and CEO of TOCOM. 

“This is our first customer in Japan, and we are honored to be selected as
exchange technology provider to one of the largest and most influential
commodity exchanges in the world. TOCOM is a transaction-heavy commodity
exchange that is certain to profit from our systems that are tailored to meet
the rapidly growing demands that they are facing today,” said Markus Gerdien,
President Market Technology at OMX. 

“NTT DATA is very pleased to have been selected as a vendor for TOCOM's new
exchange systems together with OMX. I believe that the new exchange systems
will enable the Japanese commodity market to come back as world top-class
market once again. Through cooperation with OMX, NTT DATA, having 20 years of
relationship with TOCOM and experience as a top Japanese system integrator, is
willing to fulfill TOCOM's expectations,” said Mr. Yamashita, President & CEO,
