Eagle Investment Systems Earns Buy-Side Technology's 'Best Technology Provider' Award

BOSTON, November 16 - Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services
technology and wholly owned subsidiary of BNY Mellon Asset Servicing, today
announced that it has been named Best Technology Provider for 2009 by
Buy-Side Technology magazine. The award was presented at an event at the
Lanesborough Hotel in London.

"Eagle's consistency in terms of making the short-list of all three
categories it entered — best data management product, best performance
measurement and attribution product, and best portfolio accounting product –
proved decisive," said Victor Anderson, editor of Buy-Side Technology. "Added
to this solid, cross-category performance is Eagle's outstanding track
record, plus its signing of new clients across all three products over the
last twelve months, which made it a worthy recipient of our only
'service-to-the-industry' award."

"We are honored to be named the best technology provider and to be
recognized for our industry-leading solutions and exceptional client
service," said John Lehner, president of Eagle. "Average revenue growth of
20% over the past five years and our expanding global client base both
validate the investments we've made in research and development and the new
functionality we're providing clients to help them stay ahead of market
demands."
