Available now, customers utilizing RMG's real-time risk controls and order management capabilities will benefit from improved functionality resulting in lower latency and greater consistency in latency performance in accessing nearly 50 trading destinations across the U.S.

Additionally, NYSE Technologies will introduce a new web interface for RMG in the fourth quarter of 2010 featuring functionality that aligns with the Security and Exchange Commission's recently-announced regulations on sponsored access in Rule 15c3-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. RMG will also offer a redesigned and improved website using Flex Technology, an open-source framework that offers a rich user experience which includes Flash programming and other widely-used applications. It deploys consistently across all major browsers while supporting enhanced content and user functionality that allows for significant control and improved ease of use for customers.

We also look forward to quickly introducing even more risk-check functionality that is in sync with the SEC's comprehensive recommendations on sponsored access."
