field of distribution of corporate news with immediate effect. Clients will

media focussing on financial topics in the Nordic and Baltic region.
Peter Belling, Senior Vice President, Information Services, OMX: 'We are
proud that Equity Story has evaluated the news distributors in the Nordic
region and has found that OMX is the one with the strongest network. With
this agreement OMX will provide strong added value to customers of Equity
Story including corporate news from listed companies on OMX Nordic
Exchange. At the same time the agreement will create more content to our
customers on the receiver site; the media, banks and vendors which are
using our NewsClient and our feeds.'
