Online targeting firm extends Ipreo's investor targeting and analytics offering

NEW YORK, May 18, 2010 - Ipreo, premier global provider of market intelligence and productivity
solutions to corporations and investment banks, announced that it has
acquired BuysideIQ, a leading provider of online investor targeting
solutions.

The addition of BuysideIQ will serve as a complement to Ipreo's
analyst-based Premium Analytics service that clients utilize today. The
Premium Analytics service will continue as a core offering, leveraging the
expertise and the consultative structure of Ipreo's analytics team. The
BuysideIQ acquisition will add an online targeting product - known for its
ease of use, speed, and accuracy - to Ipreo's suite of investor relations
services.

Bill Sherman, EVP and Managing Director of Global Data Strategy and
Analytics at Ipreo said, "This acquisition is consistent with the Ipreo
approach of offering corporate issuers a choice of products that best fit
their development stage and investor relations goals. We're very pleased to
be able to complement our hands-on targeting services with an online offering
of BuysideIQ's quality & reputation."

Brendan Fitzpatrick, Founder and President of BuysideIQ, joins the Ipreo
team as Head of Online Targeting, bringing close to 15 years of investor
relations experience with a focus on investor targeting and product
development to the firm.

"The experience of Ipreo's management team and the firm's reputation for
high quality service are unmatched in the industry," said Fitzpatrick. "I'm
delighted to be able to combine the BuysideIQ solution with Ipreo's
high-caliber analyst-based targeting services."

Over the next several months the firm will be further integrating
BuysideIQ into Ipreo's BD suite of products, to allow clients the maximum
benefit of Ipreo's industry-leading Bigdough institutional database, while
retaining the user experience of the online product.
