Belzberg Technologies Introduces Deep Book(TM), First To Sweep Options Market Depth

Toronto, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) - Belzberg Technologies Inc. (TSX
-BLZ), announced today the introduction of Deep Book(TM), the first
options trading platform that sweeps the aggregate volumes of all
orders and price levels, for all options contracts trading on US
options exchanges. With the ever-growing list of options contracts
now trading in pennies, Belzberg already has demand from customers
who are eager to take delivery of the system.

"Deep Book(TM) is the only product on the market that allows
traders to properly handle large orders in the new penny-increment
options environment," said Sid Belzberg, CEO of Belzberg
Technologies.

Deep Book(TM) enables transparency beyond the NBBO (National Best
Bid and Offer), providing options traders with the same trading
efficiencies provided by leading-edge equities trading systems. The
first exchange that has provided their Depth of Market Feed for the
system is the ISE. Comparable depth of market feeds from the CBOE and
the other options exchanges are imminent, and will be integrated into
the system as soon as they become available.
