SAN FRANCISCO, June 8, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- StreetFusion, the global financial events network, today announced the addition of newly developed functionality to the company's already extensive suite of applications and online tools. The new calendar function provides StreetFusion's users with the ability to easily sort, filter and manage information on thousands of corporate and sellside events and to create personalized calendars for those events.
"We enhanced the look and functionality of our calendar and added many new types of market-moving events in direct response to investor demand for access to virtually all the events companies conduct each quarter," said Blake Hayunga, StreetFusion president and CEO. "Now, we're capturing more information on these critical events, allowing for even greater investor participation and awareness."
With the new and improved "My Calendar," users can now view comprehensive calendars that include information on thousands of non-earnings events, in addition to StreetFusion's existing library of earnings releases and conference calls. "My Calendar" provides users with all-inclusive information for the following financial events:
* Earnings releases and conference calls * Analyst meetings * Guidance calls * Special announcements * M&A announcements * Product announcements * Sales results calls * Shareholder meetings * Company visits * Sellside conferences
Users can view daily, weekly, or monthly calendars, while advanced filtering options allow them to construct customized calendars based on personal preferences such as type of event, date and time, company, industry and sector. StreetFusion subscribers now have real-time access to all important calls, announcements and presentations affecting the companies they follow, as well as sellside conference presentations.
"In addition to the enhanced functionality of "My Calendar," each company micro-site on the StreetFusion system will contain a list of all events conducted by that company," continued Hayunga. "Investors can now better forward-plan their busy schedules, and ensure that they never miss an important event. These new enhancements demonstrate our company's dedication to creating a network that encompasses all critical financial event information, accessible in the format most advantageous to the time constraints of the investment community."
In addition, investor relations professionals can now easily make available information about their companies' non-earnings events, as well as traditional earnings calls, keeping investors and analysts better informed of their performance and progress. Publishing information about all their events on the StreetFusion network helps companies avoid potential selective disclosure issues under Reg FD. It also ensures global distribution to more than 40,000 institutional investors through Multex.com and the StreetFusion network, and to millions of individual investors through leading retail portals, including Yahoo! Finance, CBS MarketWatch, Hoover's, SmartMoney.com and IndividualInvestor.com.
