Subject: NASDAQ Announces New European Road Show Service





NASDAQ is pleased to announce a new alliance agreement with Phoenix-IR, one of Europe's leading independent investor relations consulting firms, to offer NASDAQ-listed companies with $1 billion and greater market capitalization a European road show service.

The need for large corporations to access international investors is necessary in today's global economy. Half of the Top 20 largest asset managers in the world are now based in Europe and Europeans have the highest proportion of their portfolios invested in international equities. As a result, senior management needs direct access to the most important investors in this key market. Importantly this access needs to be managed in a controlled way that matches the right investors with the right companies.

Phoenix-IR's bespoke service delivers quality contact building that delivers this and makes effective use of senior management time.

Phoenix-IR provides a balanced approach to targeting current holders, new potential investors and long-term holders that will provide stability to the share register, broaden the shareholder base and help bring liquidity to the stock.

We invite you to take advantage of this special Phoenix-IR road show program. We hope that you benefit from the relationship as we have over the many years of working with Phoenix-IR to manage our successful, well-attended international IR program that has included hundreds of NASDAQ-listed companies. To learn more, please contact your NASDAQ Relationship Manager.


Sincerely,

Bruce E. Aust
Executive Vice President
