Symbol Management Clearing Corporation (SMCC) is pleased to announce the unveiling of the SymbologyDNA� methodology for use as the standardized link to the Options Symbology Initiative (OSI). On June 11, 2008, SMCC will present and recommend to the Financial Information Forum (FIF) and to the financial industry its recommendation to adopt SymbologyDNA� methodology and processes to ensure standardization, consistency and accuracy to global symbology management throughout all financial systems. Currently, the entire financial industry is being asked to modify their systems for OSI compliancy to handle a 21 character option symbol from the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), and a 17 character option symbol from the Option Price Reporting Authority (OPRA). The proposed OSI methodology will undoubtedly carry a multi-billion dollar price tag for the industry to bear, similar to that of Y2K, and will impact systems end-to-end posing enormous risk to all financial environments. SMCC�s CEO, Lee Clifford says �We have carefully listened to industry representatives and are uniquely positioned to offer this solution. We believe we have met all of the objectives of the OSI plan in addition to adding new depth for the industry. The goal of standardized naming conventions for options series data and the derivatives industry is now achievable through SymbologyDNA�.� SymbologyDNA� will be used as an enhancement to the OSI. It will allow financial firms to translate 5 or 9 character symbology representations into the new 17 or 21 character symbology formats and vice versa. In fact, with the SymbologyDNA� process in place, the financial industry will be in a position to benefit from the next generation of electronic trade clearing systems for the ever expanding derivatives industry. �It is clear that the industry desires an approach to receiving accurate and efficient information with minimal impact to their internal systems,� stated Paul Strickland, CEO of Spooz. �We intend to deliver the technology to deploy SymbologyDNA� in such a way as to save the industry billions.� About SMCC (Symbol Management Clearing Corporation) SMCC is a joint venture company of Spooz Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Spooz, Inc.
