Management of Corporate Financial Information

CCBN (www.ccbn.com), the leading provider of Internet-based investor communications services, today announced that it will showcase its industry leading solutions for improved financial information management at the Special Libraries Association Expo 2002, to be held June 8-13 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA. CCBN will also offer a special session on the consolidation and management of investment information on Monday, June 10 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. At CCBN's booth (# 556) the company will demonstrate its CCBN StreetEvents service, featuring capabilities for managing large amounts of corporate disclosure and brokerage event information on a daily basis:

-- Event Calendar--the market's leading application for date and time listings of upcoming conference calls, earnings releases, live and archived webcasts and other investment-related events sourced directly from over 6,000 public companies and 100 sell-side institutions.

-- Event Briefs--a revolutionary tool providing a non-biased written summary of the corporate conference call, available within hours after the call's completion.

-- Event Transcripts--CCBN's newest service providing the timely, word-for-word transcript of earnings conference calls, linked with the audio webcast, for accurate documentation of an entire call's content.

Since the inception of Regulation FD more than 18 months ago, the amount of financial information investors receive has drastically increased. CCBN products and services help streamline the management of this increasing amount of information. More than 15,000 investment professionals at more than 1,100 firms use CCBN StreetEvents every day to manage upcoming corporate and brokerage events, meetings, calls and general financial information. CCBN's Event Briefs offer unbiased, straightforward summaries of corporate conference calls and include a factual synopsis of the key data points, financial review and outlook, call duration and participants, and the question and answer session, helping information managers quickly analyze and disseminate critical financial information. With the recent acquisition of BD-X Corporation, CCBN now offers access to full-text transcripts of corporate conference calls.

CCBN's special session, titled, "Web Trends: The Consolidation of Investment Information," will discuss how the growth of content and archiving capabilities has led to greater need for the aggregation and consolidation of information. Discussion topics include:

-- How has information delivery evolved over time and how have information consumers adapted to that change?

-- What investment information is offered to professionals today?

-- What impact has Reg FD had on corporate disclosure information?

-- How do professionals access and manage this information overload?

-- What is the financial industry doing to standardize the flow of information?

"With an increasing amount of information to collect and analyze, it is more important than ever to immediately access a wealth of investment information in a single destination. StreetEvents equips institutional investors and special librarians with the tools they need to do just that," said Tim Bryan, senior vice president of institutional services at CCBN. "Our StreetEvents service, including Event Briefs and Event Transcripts, is ideal for managing enormous amounts of financial information. We are looking forward to demonstrating the power of our information management solutions at this year's SLA conference."
