The ICE eConfirm platform is designed to facilitate fast and accurate
post-trade confirmation, increase back-office efficiency and reduce trade
data errors. The ICE eConfirm Broker Matching Service allows participants to
automatically match trade data and resolve discrepancies with brokers via the
ICE eConfirm website, eliminating phone calls, faxes and emails.

"We are extremely pleased that OTC Global Holdings enrolled in the Broker
Matching Service," said Chuck A. Vice, ICE President and COO. "As the leading
trade confirmation solution for the world's largest trading firms, ICE
eConfirm has become the standard for the commodity and energy trading
industry. The addition of OTC Global Holdings' 18 portfolio companies will
allow over 200 participants active on ICE eConfirm to further automate their
confirmation process."

OTC Global Holdings' proprietary voice/electronic broking platform
EOXLive will act as a conduit to supply trade execution data to the ICE
eConfirm system. By centralizing the industry leading liquidity of OTC Global
Holdings' portfolio of brokerages, the new service will alleviate many
administrative processes and reconciliation requirements for clients who are
registered ICE eConfirm users.

"We are pleased to add ICE eConfirm to our full suite of brokerage
services. Among our customers there has been strong demand for the service
and it will significantly reduce operational risk for our clients by reducing
the time spent on matching and confirming trades and will improve the
accuracy of these processes," said E. Javier Loya, Chairman and CEO of OTC
Global Holdings. "In addition, we believe that by aligning with ICE eConfirm
we will be strategically positioned to help our clients meet the increased
data reporting and Swap Data Repository mandates included in the Dodd-Frank
Act."

Added Bruce Tupper, Director of ICE eConfirm: "ICE eConfirm has
electronically confirmed over 5.3 million trades in its eight years of
operations. As we work with the commodity trading community to leverage our
experience with ICE eConfirm to develop a Swap Data Repository for the
industry, the addition of OTC Global Holdings will significantly increase the
number of transactions available for electronic broker matching and
reporting."
