The Capital Group Selects Eagle's Mutual Fund Accounting Solution

BOSTON, October 18, 2010 - Eagle Investment Systems LLC, a leading provider of financial services
technology and a subsidiary of BNY Mellon, today announced that The Capital
Group Companies, Inc. (The Capital Group) has licensed its fund accounting
solution to support the firm's mutual fund accounting operation under the

upgrade its middle- and back-office architecture to streamline its
operations.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, The Capital Group is one of the largest
mutual fund companies in the world with more than US$900 billion in fund
assets across 30 publicly available mutual funds.

"The decision to select a new fund accounting system was made after a
careful evaluation of internal and external solutions," said Brian Bullard, a
senior vice president at Capital Research and Management Co., the investment
adviser to American Funds. "We believe Eagle is a very robust system which
will provide us greater functionality than other systems."

Beth Sullivan, director of information technology at Capital Research and

accounting requirements and offered flexibility with data integration and
business reporting needs."

"Market conditions of the past few years have created an environment
requiring firms to address new regulations and the latest processing
requirements of complex securities. Companies want to address those needs
while creating more operational efficiencies around systems and internal
processes," said John Lehner, president and chief executive officer of Eagle.
"Eagle's selection by a firm with such longstanding success as The Capital
