.com, the leading provider of Internet-based investor relations (IR) services, announced today that they have formed a strategic alliance to market each other's services.

Under terms of the agreement, Donnelley Financial will market to its clients the full suite of services that CCBN offers to corporate IR officers and buy- and sell-side investment professionals. These comprise a variety of online IR services, including Web site design and management, webcasting of investor conference calls, communicating and managing IR events through targeted e-mail and broadcast fax distribution, interactive voice response, and Web fulfillment.

"This alliance fits perfectly with our strategy of providing our corporate clients with end-to-end, integrated communications with the entire financial community," said Jim Fagan, Donnelley Financial senior vice president and director of capital markets sales. "It directly addresses our clients' needs for ongoing IR support following the IPO and enables us to continue our relationship well beyond the capital-raising event."

"Corporate issuers are increasingly turning to the Internet to broaden their investor relations outreach and to provide the fuller and more complete disclosure desired by securities regulators," said Tim Fox Timothy Richard Fox (born November 1, 1953 in Canton, Ohio) is a former American Football safety who played for the New England Patriots, San Diego Chargers and the Los Angeles Rams from 1976 to 1986. , Donnelley Financial sales director, responsible for capital markets sales in Boston. "Teaming with CCBN, the recognized leader in Internet-based investor relations communications, creates a real win-win for us and our clients."

The Donnelley Financial--CCBN.com alliance is part of R.R. Donnelley's strategy to extend logically into complementary businesses involving online services and other new electronic media.

It is absolutely critical that today's public companies have a robust IR Web site and meet the SEC's tightening disclosure requirements. Donnelley Financial's clients that are going or have recently gone public will clearly benefit from CCBN's expertise in communicating with the investment community over the Internet, so this alliance makes a lot of sense.
