London, New York & Hong Kong, Thurs. 8 March 2012: CameronTec, the global
financial industry’s long-standing provider of FIX infrastructure and
connectivity solutions today announced the release of the ultimate FIX messaging
enabler with the upcoming launch of Catalys 2.0.

Wholly open, standards based and centrally managed, Catalys 2.0 provides for
unprecedented levels of performance, data interoperability, convergence and
business insight. 2.0 is designed to further empower brokers, banks and the
buy-side to aggregate, view and manage related trade data. This is FIX
transactional data and latency, risk and operational data, from a multitude of
disparate third party systems, gateways and applications.

First launched in 2010, Catalys is the inclusive, FIX-based ecosystem engineered
on the industry acknowledged standard in FIX engines, CameronFIX. Catalys 2.0 is
available from April 2012.

Chief Product Officer for CameronTec, Max Colas, says that by design CameronTec
aims to provide the financial industry with its most advanced offering to
operate, test and control mission-critical FIX messaging backbones. “Catalys is
the instigator for exposing the many unique combinations of insightful flows
that are extremely valuable for customers because they produce the business
intelligence to better operate their platform. 2.0 now completes the vision we
started in 2010 by adding the functional layers FIX users needed to move away
from legacy, clunky, costly solutions and embrace technological evolution.”

“Every day our growing team of engineers is solving latest market challenges and
through innovation developing smarter solutions to address new requirements and
perhaps, most importantly, provide a flexible framework for navigating the
unexpected,” says Anders Henriksson, CEO at CameronTec. “We look forward to
introducing market participants to our latest development 2.0 and assisting them
to achieve considerably greater business advantage.”

Released at the same time as Catalys 2.0, latest release CameronFIX 8.0 is
designed to provide users with an inroad to access valuable Catalys modules for
monitoring, testing, certification, logging and performance functionality.

At the core of CameronTec technology is a unique understanding of the FIX world
that comes from a concentration of the world’s largest FIX deployments.
CameronTec’s solutions are used by sell side firms representing some of the
world’s largest brokers with the most demanding technology requirements. Buy
