REUTERS APPOINTS TWO NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

London – Reuters Group PLC announced today the appointment of two new executive directors to the Board.

David Grigson FCA (45) joins Reuters as Finance Director. He has been Group Finance Director of Emap plc since 1989 during which time the company has grown into an international media business and become a constituent of the FTSE 100. Prior to joining Emap, David worked for Saatchi & Saatchi in the US and for Esso in the UK. He will join Reuters at the end of July.

David replaces Rob Rowley as Reuters Finance Director, following the announcement in March that Rob is taking a full-time role as Chief Executive of Reuterspace, the division responsible for developing the Group’s new media and internet-related businesses and assets.

Tom Glocer (40), Chief Executive, Reuters Information – part of the Group’s core business division, Reuters Financial – joins the Board with immediate effect. Tom was appointed to his current role in February. He was previously president of Reuters America, responsible for the company’s business in the Americas and from 1997 to 1998 he managed Reuters operations in Central and South America. He joined Reuters in 1993.

Commenting on the new appointments, Reuters Chairman Sir Christopher Hogg said:

“These latest appointments to the Board reflect the changes that are taking place at Reuters as we position the Group in the Internet age. Since the beginning of the year, we have made several board changes and embarked on a range of major initiatives as we seek to make financial markets really work on the Internet.

“David’s appointment will now allow Rob to work full time at Reuterspace, where we believe there are significant opportunities. David brings with him considerable experience of the media sector, is well known in the City and has extensive international experience – credentials that will be of great value to Reuters.

“Since Tom joined Reuters, he has made a considerable impact on the areas of the business that he has been responsible for. He has clear ideas about how our Information business should be developed and he will be a considerable asset to the Board.”

REUTERS AND EQUANT LAUNCH RADIANZ

New York and London – Reuters (RTR.L) and Equant (NYSE: ENT and Paris Bourse: EQU) today announced the formation of Radianz, their new independently managed company, for global financial communications.  This follows Reuters and Equant’s announcement on 3 February 2000 of their intention to establish Radianz, which plans to develop the world’s largest Internet Protocol (IP) network for financial markets.

Radianz will provide a neutral and trusted IP platform for delivering a range of content and transactional capabilities in 120 countries. It plans to provide next-generation network connectivity and security to end-users.  Companies which have agreed to use Radianz’s services include: Euroclear, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Knight Trading Group Inc., and Fimat (part of Société Générale Group) – see note to editors.

Radianz will combine Reuters specialist in-depth knowledge of financial services and content distribution with Equant’s solutions and expertise on operating a secure global IP network, a package demanded by the dynamic and ever-changing financial industry.  Radianz will exploit Reuters network which currently has more than 60,000 connections to financial services customers’ sites worldwide.

“The concept of Radianz is attractive to financial companies because it is bringing together the critical mass of end-users needed to create a whole new world for secure financial communications,” said Doug Gilstrap, CEO of Radianz. “Financial companies are joining Radianz because we can connect every company, customer and supplier in financial services in the most efficient manner possible.”

David Ure, executive director of Reuters, will be chairman of Radianz.  Doug Gilstrap is appointed Radianz’s CEO, Brennan Carley chief product and technology officer and Chris Church head of global sales.

Reuters will own 51 percent of Radianz.  Subject to approvals, Reuters will transfer US$105 million of telecommunications network assets into the new entity, plus US$25 million in cash.  It will also sell Reuters Connect Services, Reuters existing telecommunications business serving the financial community, to Radianz for US$25 million in cash.

Equant will own 49 percent of Radianz and contribute US$225 million in cash to the new company.  It will also provide US$125 million of other services and contribute an additional US$25 million of annual contracted revenue from its existing financial services customers.  In addition, Equant will supply network services under a long-term agreement, which is expected to be worth approximately US$100 million in the first full year of operation.

Radianz will have approximately 500 employees, more than 400 of whom are transferring from Reuters where they are involved in specific networking and telecommunications activities.  Sixty staff will transfer from Equant’s sales, marketing and product development area.  Equant will transfer approximately 40 more staff within a 12-month period.

Radianz will work closely with TIBCO Software (TIBX) to enable the delivery of TIB-based applications over its network.  This will allow companies that have invested in TIB technology for enterprise-wide applications to extend those applications to their clients, their suppliers and their extended communities of interest.

Peter Job, chief executive of Reuters, said: “Radianz is a key component of Reuters Internet strategy, providing the communications element to go with content and technology.  There is a clearly identified and significant market for a secure extranet for the financial markets.  Reuters customers will also benefit from a more efficient network and will be able to use it for other communications activities.”

Didier Delepine, president and CEO of Equant, added: “Combining the skills of Reuters and Equant puts Radianz ahead of the curve when it comes to being able to capture the growing demand for secure services needed by the financial industry.  We anticipate financial companies worldwide will join Radianz’s financial community of interest.”

“With its initial reach and coverage of a broad cross section of the financial industry, Radianz provides an exciting opportunity for financial institutions to start consolidating multiple types of transactions with suppliers, exchanges and counterparties over a common, highly secure infrastructure,” said Paul Toldalagi, managing director at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. “Our firm plans to migrate some of its client applications to the Radianz infrastructure.”

“Knight, as one of Radianz’s lead customers, will have major points of access to market centres in Europe, Asia and the United States through Radianz’s community extranet service,” said David Shpilberg, chief operating officer and chief technology officer of Knight Trading Group, Inc. “Radianz will accelerate Knight’s connectivity to the global marketplace, while reducing the costs associated with this process.”

REUTERS INVESTS US$35 MILLION IN LEADING US INTERNET
MORTGAGE MARKETPLACE OPERATOR

London – Reuters, the global information and news group, has invested US$35 million in Pedestal, a leading internet-based secondary mortgage marketplace operator.  The company, based in Washington DC, manages an internet business-to-business marketplace for the trading of secondary mortgage loans and mortgage-related products in the US.  Pedestal’s other strategic partners are Deutsche Bank and Battery Ventures.

This equity investment and key strategic alliance is in line with Reuters strategy, outlined on 8 February 2000, to make the financial markets work on the Internet.  The alliance will enable Reuters to increase its penetration of the fixed income markets by extending its range of services, via the Internet, to one of the largest segments – the US Mortgage Backed Security (MBS) and Asset Backed Security (ABS) sectors.  It will provide Reuters with direct access to Pedestal’s clients and enable the Group to sell, via Pedestal, internet-based data and analytics products for the mortgage market.

Reuters and Pedestal jointly recognise that to serve fully the workflow needs of end-users in the MBS/ABS market, it is necessary to provide a complete range of services from news, real-time and historical price information and analytics to trade execution over the Internet.  The objective of the alliance is to fully meet these needs.  Key features include the exchange of market information, the cross-selling of products and connectivity to services provided by both parties.

Philip Wood, Managing Director Business Development, Reuters Trading Solutions, said: “This investment strengthens our position in the fixed income markets and is yet another example of Reuters seeking to make the financial markets work on the Internet.  Pedestal is playing a leading role in the shift towards internet-enabled secondary mortgage market trading. The combination of Pedestal’s significant industry expertise with Reuters content, technology and global distribution creates a solid foundation to enable secondary mortgage market trading to work more efficiently and effectively on the Internet.”
